IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

The unaudited financial statements included in this 6K have been prepared in accordance with the Compendium of Accounting Standards issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF) of Chile. The accounting principles issued by the SBIF are substantially similar to IFRS, but there are some exceptions. The SBIF is the banking industry regulator that according to article 15 of the General Banking Law, establishes the accounting principles to be used by the banking industry. For those principles not covered by the Compendium of Accounting Standards, banks can use generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Chilean Accountant’s Association AG and which coincides with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In the event that discrepancies exist between the accounting principles issued by the SBIF (Compendium of Accounting Standards) and IFRS, the Compendium of Accounting Standards will take precedence. The Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain additional information to that submitted in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income, Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. These notes provide a narrative description of such statements. Banco Santander Chile’s net income attributable to shareholders in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 totaled Ch$411,590 million increasing 53.6% compared to the same nine-month period of 2013. It is important to point out that the Bank’s results as of September 30, 2014 included three one-time impacts that were recognized in the third quarter of this year:

 

1. The Bank recognized a one-time non-cash income of Ch$35,411 million in the line item income tax expense in September 2014 when Chile’s new tax bill became effective. The new tax bill increased the statutory tax rate to 21% in 2014, which was retroactive for the entire year of 2014. The rate will then increase to 22.5% in 2015 and 24% in 2016. As a result of this change in tax rate, the Bank had to recalculate its deferred tax assets and liabilities utilizing the 27% statutory tax rate, resulting in the abovementioned non-cash gain. This effect mainly arises from the difference between the Bank’s accounting and tax books regarding how provisions and charge-offs are recognized. For more detail please see Nota2b of the attached Financial Statements.

 

2. The Bank recognized a one-time non-cash expenses of Ch$36,577 million from the accelerated charge-off of intangibles, mainly software in September 2014. In past periods, the Bank has invested significantly in systems and software. These systems were usually amortized in 3 years, but with the new systems developed by the Bank, some older ones that were not contributing to the Bank’s PNL were charged-off in line with paragraph 59 of IAS 36. For more detail, please see Nota30c of the attached Financial Statements.

 

3. The Bank recognized a one-time non-cash net provision expense of Ch$8,578 million in August 2014 from the recalibration and improvement of its provisioning models for loans analyzed on a Group basis. For more information please see Nota1p-II of the attached financial statements.

SECTION 1: SUMMARY OF RESULTS1

 

Net income up 53.6% in the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2014. ROAE reached 22.8%

 

Banco Santander Chile’s net income attributable to shareholders in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 (9M14) totaled Ch$411,590 million (Ch$2.18 per share and US$1.45/ADR), increasing 53.6% compared to 9M13. Therefore, the Bank’s ROAE in the same period was 22.8% compared to 16.6% in 9M13. The net interest margin in 9M14 was 5.5% compared to 4.9% in 9M13, benefiting from the stronger commercial activity of the Bank and higher inflation levels observed between both periods. The efficiency ratio reached 36.7% in 9M14 compared to 41.2% in 9M13 as the Bank has been able to grow without having to increase its branch network or headcount.

 

 

In 3Q14, net income attributable to shareholders totaled Ch$110,131 million (Ch$0.58 per share and US$0.39/ADR), decreasing 31.0% compared to 2Q14 (from now on QoQ) and increasing 8.9% compared to 3Q13 (from now on YoY). The Bank’s ROAE reached 18.0% in 3Q14. As expected, the Bank’s profitability was lower on a QoQ basis mainly as a result of the lower quarterly inflation rate. At the same time, the Bank’s positive commercial trends were sustained in the quarter.

 

3Q14 figures include various one-time effects that are explained in further detail in this report. These were: (i) the Bank recognized a one-time non-cash expense of Ch$36,577 million from the accelerated charge-off of intangibles, mainly software, (ii) a one-time provision expense of Ch$8,578 million from the recalibration and improvement made to the provisioning models for loans analyzed on a Group basis and, (iii) a one-time non-cash income of Ch$35,411 million in the line item income tax expense in September 2014 (Ch$32,822 million attributable to net income to shareholders; the difference is attributable to non-controlling interest). Chile’s new tax bill became effective in 3Q14 and the Bank had to recalculate its deferred tax assets and liabilities utilizing the new, higher statuary rates included in that bill.

Loans up 9.6% YoY. Growth focused in segments with a higher risk-adjusted profitability

 

In 3Q14, Total loans increased 2.2% QoQ and 9.6% YoY. In the quarter, the Bank continued to focus on its strategy of expanding the loan book in less riskier segments in an economic environment that remains healthy, but with growth decelerating. Lending to individuals increased 2.7% QoQ and 12.0% YoY. The Bank focused on expanding its loan portfolio in higher income segments, while remaining more selective in lower income segments. Loans in the high-income segment (Income earners with over Ch$2.5mn pesos/month), which are mainly distributed through the Santander Select network, increased 3.9% QoQ and 17.1% YoY, continuing the loan mix shift started several quarters ago. Among companies, loan growth was led by the Companies and institutional segment in which loans increased 4.1% QoQ and 9.8% YoY.

 

Total deposits increased 8.8% YoY, with a solid expansion in the quarter

 

Total deposits increased 8.6% QoQ and 8.8% YoY. The Bank continued to focus on increasing its core deposit base as reflected in the 1.1% QoQ and 8.9% YoY rise in non-interest bearing demand deposits. Simultaneously in the quarter, various institutional investors and large corporate clients increased their deposits with the Bank given the high level of liquidity in the economy. This was reflected in the 13.1% QoQ and 8.7% YoY increase in time deposits in 3Q14.

 

Sustained growth of Client net interest income

 

As expected, in 3Q14 Net interest income decreased 14.1% QoQ mainly because of the lower quarterly inflation rate. The Net interest margin1 (NIM) in 3Q14 reached 5.0% compared to 6.0% in 2Q14 and 5.3% in 3Q13. The Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation and, as a result, margins have a positive sensitivity to variations in inflation. In 3Q14, the variation of the Unidad de Fomento (an inflation indexed currency unit), was 0.60% compared to 1.76% in 2Q14 and 1.04% in 3Q13. Excluding the negative impact of a lower inflation rate, the Bank’s Client NIM2 remained stable at 5.5% in 3Q14 compared to 5.5% in 2Q14 and 5.6% in 3Q13. Client NIMs have remained relatively stable since 3Q13, despite the change in loan mix to less risky segments. This has been mainly due to the better funding mix and stable loan spreads.

 

 

1. Net interest margin, NIM: net interest income (NI) divided by quarterly average interest earning assets. Averages are calculated over monthly figures.

2. Client NIM: NI from all client activities such as loans and deposits minus the internal transfer rate. Excludes the corporate center and the effect of inflation on NI. Inflation: quarterly variation of the UF (an inflation indexed currency unit).

Stable asset quality. Coverage ratio of NPLs increased to 104.1%

 

The Bank’s total Non-performing loans (NPLs) ratio remained stable at 2.9% QoQ and decreased from 3.0% in 3Q13. Total Coverage of NPLs in 3Q14 reached 104.1% compared to 102.3% in 2Q14 and 94.8% in 3Q13.

 

Net Provision for loan losses increased 18.2% QoQ and 3.0% YoY in 3Q14. In the quarter, the Bank recognized a one-time provision expense of Ch$8,578 million from the re-calibration and improvement of the risk models for loans analyzed on a Group basis. This re-calibration was performed in order to proactively increase coverage of NPLs in the SME segment. This explains a big part of the 28.1% QoQ and the 11.8% YoY rise in gross provisions. Charge-offs, on the other hand, increased 0.2% QoQ and decreased 8.7% YoY in 3Q14. As a result, the Cost of credit (Provision expenses annualized divided by total loans) reached 1.80% in 3Q14. The Bank’s total provision for loan losses has decreased 4.1% in 9M14 and the cost of credit in 9M14 reached 1.63% compared to 1.89% in 9M13.

 

 

* 90 days or more NPLs. ** Loan loss reserves over NPLs

 

Efficiency ratio reached 36.7% in 9M14

 

Operating expenses, excluding impairment and other operating expenses, in 3Q14 decreased 6.4% QoQ and increased 0.5% YoY. The efficiency ratio1 reached 36.7% in 9M14.

 

The QoQ reduction in operating expenses was mainly due to the 68.7% QoQ decrease in amortization and depreciations as the Bank recognized lower depreciation and amortization expenses following the charge-off of intangibles. Personnel expenses decreased 0.4% QoQ, as headcount remained stable, and increased 10.1% YoY. The YoY increase in personnel expenses was mainly due to the impact of a higher YoY inflation rate over salaries. Administrative expenses increased 1.7% QoQ and 7.9% YoY. This was mainly due to greater business activity and the effects of a higher inflation rate over costs indexed to inflation.

 

1. Efficiency ratio: Operating expenses less impairment of property, plant and equipment / Operating income. Operating income = Net interest income + Net fee income+ Net results from Financial transactions + Other operating income and expenses.

Net operating profit from the Bank’s business segments decreased 4.9% QoQ and increased 9.1% YoY. These results exclude our Corporate Center and the results from Financial Management, which includes, among other items, the impact of the inflation on results. The Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation and, as a result, margins have a positive sensitivity to variations in inflation (such relationship between assets and liabilities linked to inflation, with positive or negative sensitivity, is referred to as “inflation gap”). Core revenues from our business segment (net interest income + fees) grew 2.2% QoQ and 7.5% YoY with positive results in all segments. This rise in core revenues was partially offset by the lower income from the sale of treasury services to clientsin the Corporate segment and the one-time effect of the recalibration and improvement made to the credit risk models for loans analyzed on a Group basis, especially in the SME segment.

Total loans increased 2.2% QoQ and 9.6% YoY In 3Q14. In the quarter, the Bank continued to focus on its strategy of expanding the loan book in less riskier segments in an economic environment that remains healthy, but with growth decelerating.

 

Lending to individuals increased 2.7% QoQ and 12.0% YoY. The Bank focused on expanding its loan portfolio in higher income segments, while remaining more selective in lower income segments. Loans in the high-income segment, which were mainly distributed through the Santander Select network, increased 3.9% QoQ and 17.1% YoY. On the other hand, in the Santander Banefe unit, which attends lower income segments, the Bank’s loan portfolio increased 0.3% QoQ and 3.6% YoY, continuing the loan mix shift started several quarters ago. By products, total consumer loans increased 2.2% QoQ and 11.5% YoY. Residential mortgage loans expanded 3.3% QoQ and 15.3% YoY.

Lending to SMEs expanded 0.7% QoQ and 4.5% YoY. In the quarter, the Bank proactively decelerated loan growth in this segment in light of the expected economic slowdown. Growth was focused in SMEs clients that are also intensive in non-lending activities such as cash management, which tend to be the most profitable SMEs.

 

In 3Q14, the companies and institutional segment loans increased 4.1% QoQ and 9.8% YoY. Loan growth accelerated in this segment due to growth among mid-sized exporters, which are benefitting from the weaker peso. This segment is also generating increasingly higher levels of business volumes in other areas such as cash management, which has helped to drive the rise in client deposits.

 

In the corporate segment, loans decreased 1.1% QoQ and increased 3.9% YoY. This segment generally has a volatile evolution of loan growth, due in part, to large transactions that are not recurring between one quarter and the next. Spreads in this segment have also been rising as reflected in the 3.5% YoY and 37.5% YoY increase in net interest income in the quarter (See Results by Business Segments).

Total deposits increased 8.6% QoQ and 8.8% YoY. The Bank continued to focus on increasing its core deposit base as reflected in the 1.1% QoQ and 8.9% YoY rise in demand deposits. Simultaneously in the quarter, various institutional investors and large corporate clients increased their deposits with the Bank given the high level of liquidity in the economy. This was reflected in the 13.1% QoQ and 8.7% YoY increase in time deposits in 3Q14. It is important to point out that short-term wholesale deposits1 are not included in the Bank’s structural liquidity levels, but given the low interest rate environment, this short-term rise in institutional deposits in 3Q14 has lowered the Bank’s overall funding costs.

1.In 2014, we changed the definition of core and wholesale deposits as part of our gradual shift towards BIS III liquidity models. Core deposits are now defined as all checking accounts plus retail and companies and institutional time deposits. Long-term wholesale deposits are time deposits from institutional sources and corporate clients with an average maturity greater than 120 days. Short-term wholesale deposits are time deposits from institutional sources and the corporate segment with an average maturity of less than 120 days.

1.. Please refer to footnote 1 at the end of this page.

2. Please refer to footnote 2 at the end of this page

3. Interest income divided by interest earning assets.

4. Interest expense divided by sum of interest bearing liabilities and demand deposits.

5. Client net interest margin is defined as annualized client net interest income divided by average loans.

6. Net interest margin is defined as annualized net interest income divided by average interest earning assets.

7. Inflation measured as the variation of the Unidad de Fomento in the quarter.

 

As expected, in 3Q14 Net interest income decreased 14.1% QoQ mainly because of the lower quarterly inflation rate and increased 4.0% YoY. The Net interest margin (NIM) in 3Q14 reached 5.0% compared to 6.0% in 2Q14 and 5.3% in 3Q13. In order to improve the explanation of margins, we have divided the analysis of Net interest income between Client net interest income2 and Non-client net interest income.

 

 

1Client net interest income (NI) is net interest income from all client activities such as loans and deposits minus the internal transfer rate.
2Non-client NI is NI from Bank’s inflation gap, the financial cost of hedging, the financial cost of the Bank’s structural liquidity position, NI from treasury positions and the interest expense of the Bank’s financial investments classified as trading, since NI from this portfolio is recognized as financial transactions net.

Client net interest income. In 3Q14, Client net interest income increased 1.7% QoQ and 6.9% YoY, driven mainly by loan growth. Average loans increased 2.0% QoQ and 10.2% YoY. Client NIMs (defined as Client net interest income divided by average loans) reached 5.5% in 3Q14 compared to 5.5% in 2Q14 and 5.6% in 3Q13. Client NIMs have remained relatively stable since 3Q13, despite the change in loan mix to less risky segments. This has been mainly due to the better funding mix and stable loan spreads. In the remainder of 2014 and 2015, client net interest income should increase in line with loan growth as client margins are expected to remain relatively stable.

 

 

Net interest margin, NIM: net interest income (NI) divided by average interest earning assets. Client NIM: NI from all client activities such as loans and deposits minus the internal transfer rate. Excludes the corporate center and the effect of inflation on NI. Inflation: quarterly variation of the UF (an inflation indexed currency unit).

 

Non-client net interest income. The reduction of non-client net interest income was due to the lower quarterly inflation rate. The Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation and, as a result, margins have a positive sensitivity to variations in inflation. In 3Q14, the variation of the Unidad de Fomento (an inflation indexed currency unit), was 0.60% compared to 1.76% in 2Q14 and 1.04% in 3Q13. The gap between assets and liabilities indexed to the UF averaged approximately Ch$4.1 trillion (US$6.8 billion) in 3Q14. This implies that for every 100 basis point change in inflation, our Net interest income increases or decrease by Ch$41 billion, all other factors equal. The existence of this gap is mainly due to the Bank’s lending and funding activities. We expect UF inflation in 4Q14 to be approximately 1.0-1.2%. In 2015, we expect the UF inflation rate to remain at levels of 0.75% per quarter, on average.

The Bank’s total Non-performing loans (NPLs) ratio remained stable at 2.9% QoQ and decreased from 3.0% in 3Q13. Total Coverage of NPLs in 3Q14 reached 104.1% compared to 102.3% in 2Q14 and 94.8% in 3Q13.

 

Provision for loan losses increased 18.2% QoQ and 3.0% YoY in 3Q14. In the quarter, the Bank recognized a one-time provision expense of Ch$8,578 million from the re-calibration and improvement of its provisioning models for loans analyzed on a Group basis. This re-calibration was performed in order to proactively increase coverage of NPLs in the SME segment. This explains a big part of the 28.1% QoQ and the 11.8% YoY rise in gross provisions. Charge-offs remained stable in the quarter, increasing 0.2% QoQ and decreasing 8.7% YoY. As a result, the Cost of credit (annualized quarterly provision for loan losses divided by average quarterly total loans) reached 1.80% in 3Q14. The Bank’s total net provision expense has decreased 4.1% in 9M14 and the cost of credit reached 1.63% in 9M14 compared to 1.89% in 9M13.

 

By product, the evolution of provision for loan losses was as following:

 

Provision for loan losses  Quarter   Change % 
(Ch$ million)  3Q14   2Q14   3Q13   3Q14 /
3Q13
   3Q14 /
2Q14
 
Commercial loans   (86,411)   (39,144)   (42,662)   102.5%   120.8%
Residential mortgage loans   (3,270)   (3,082)   (8,682)   (62.3)%   6.1%
Consumer loans   (9,684)   (41,810)   (45,135)   (78.5)%   (76.8)%
Provision for loan losses   (99,365)   (84,036)   (96,479)   3.0%   18.2%

 

Provisions for loan losses for consumer loans decreased 76.8% QoQ and 78.5% YoY. Direct charge-offs of consumer loans decreased 2.8% QoQ and 5.4% YoY. The Bank in the quarter also re-calibrated its consumer loan model to take into account the improvement in the overall asset quality of the consumer loan book. The last re-calibration of this model was performed in June 2012 based on historical data that had a distinct performance and profile compared to the current consumer loan book. This was a result of the various actions taken to improve credit risk in consumer lending, including focusing loan growth in the higher-end of the consumer market, tightening admissions policies, revamping of the collections process, and growing via pre-approved loans that have a better credit risk profile.

The results of these efforts are reflected in the evolution of Impaired consumer loans (consumer NPLs + renegotiated consumer loans). The ratio of impaired consumer loans to total consumer loans reached 9.6% in 3Q14. Compared to the 2010-2012 period, impaired consumer loans have fallen from levels of 15-20%, over which the previous consumer loan model was based on. In the quarter, the consumer NPLs ratio increased to 2.6% compared to 2.3% in 2Q14 and 2.3% in 3Q13. During this period, the Bank has restricted consumer loan renegotiations in order to increase collections, which drove upward the consumer NPL ratio, but overall consumer loan asset quality has remained relatively stable as reflected in the QoQ evolution of impaired consumer loans.

 

* Consumer impaired ratio (black line): Consumer NPLs + renegotiated consumer loans divided by total consumer loans.

 

Provisions for loan losses for residential mortgage loans increased 6.1% QoQ and decreased 62.3% YoY in the quarter. The YoY decrease was mainly due to the recognition in 3Q13 of higher provisions for mortgage loans that had been refinanced following the 2010 earthquake. The Mortgage NPL ratio reached 2.8% in 3Q14 compared to 2.7% in 2Q14 and 2.9% in 3Q13. Mortgage asset quality has remained relatively stable over an extended period, as can be observed in the adjacent graph. Growth in this product has been centered on mortgages with loan-to-value ratios below 80%. The QoQ rise in mortgage NPLs is mainly due to the Bank’s stricter stance on renegotiating overdue mortgage loans and not a deterioration of asset quality in this product. The evolution of the impaired mortgage loans ratio remained stable at 5.6% QoQ and decreased from 5.8% in 3Q13. The impaired mortgage loan ratio is a broader measure of asset quality and mainly includes non-performing or renegotiated residential mortgage loans.

 

 

Provision for loan losses for commercial loans increased 120.8% QoQ and 102.5% YoY. The increase in net provision expense in commercial loans was mainly due to the re-calibration of the SME provisioning model as already explained. The Bank proactively increased provisioning in the SME segment in order to increase coverage ratios in this segment. The Commercial NPL ratio reached 3.1% as of September 2014 and the impaired commercial loan ratio reached 7.1% both stable compared to previous periods. The coverage ratio commercial NPLs increased to 101.4% as of September 2014 compared to 85.5% in 2Q14 and 73.1% in 3Q13.

Net fee and commission income increased 0.4% QoQ and 2.1% YoY. Fee and commission income is starting to rebound as the Bank continued to expand its client base. The Bank achieved positive net client growth3 for the 6th consecutive quarter. The client base has grown 6.7% in this stretch, which started at the end of 1Q13 when the Bank completed the development of the CRM and launched the Santander Select brand for higher income clients. Clients in the higher income segments, mainly Santander Select, increased 16.7% in this period, mid-income client base rose 7.9% and lower income clients grew 2.8%. As of September 2014, the Bank had 3.5 million clients.

 

 

 

3 Net client growth: Number of new clients less number of clients leaving the bank during the period.

This growth of the client has been outstripping the growth rate of clients of our main competitors, especially in checking accounts. Between March 2013 and June 2014, the latest figure available, the Bank’s checking account base has grown by 6.7% compared to approximately 4% for our main competitors. As a result, checking account and card related fees showed a positive growth trend.

At the same time, asset management brokerage fees increased 12.9% QoQ and 2.1% YoY as the Bank significantly increased the distribution and brokerage of mutual funds. This in spite of the fact that the Bank sold its asset management business in 2013, becoming a broker that implies recognizing approximately 75% of earned management fees compared to 100% before.

 

These positive figures were partially offset by the decrease in collection fees that are negatively affected this year by the refund of insurance premiums for mortgage loans that are pre-paid.

 

By segments, the evolution of fees reflects the Bank’s efforts of expanding the client base and to increase cross-selling. Fees from individuals increased 4.4% QoQ and 11.0% YoY and in the SME segment fees were up 4.7% QoQ and 31.3% YoY.

1. Santander Global Connect is the Bank’s commercial platform for selling treasury products to our clients.

 

Client treasury services, which represented 73% of total income from financial transactions, net, decreased 7.2% QoQ and increased 11.2% YoY. The QoQ decline in this line item was due to lower market-making activity on behalf of clients. On the other hand, the result from Santander Global Connect (SGC), the Bank’s platform for selling treasury products to clients, showed positive results and increased 7.6% QoQ and 25.3% YoY. This was mainly a result of greater demand for foreign currency hedging on behalf of our clients as the peso depreciated in the quarter.

 

Non-client treasury income decreased 8.2% QoQ and 19.7% YoY mainly due to lower gains from the sale of charged-off loans, which were recorded in this line item.

1.Efficiency ratio: Operating expenses less impairment of property, plant and equipment divided by Operating income. Operating income = Net interest income + Net fee and commission income+ Total financial transactions, net + Other operating income and expenses..

 

Operating expenses, excluding impairment and other operating expenses, in 3Q14 decreased 6.4% QoQ and increased 0.5% YoY.

 

The QoQ reduction in operating expenses was mainly due to the 68.7% QoQ decrease in amortization and depreciations as the Bank recognized lower depreciation and amortization expenses following the charge-off of intangibles.

 

Personnel salaries and expenses decreased 0.4% QoQ as headcount remained stable and increased 10.1% YoY. The YoY increase in personnel expenses was mainly due to the impact of a higher inflation rate over salaries, which are indexed to inflation. Headcount increased 1.0% QoQ and decreased 1.1% YoY to 11,493 people.

 

Administrative expenses increased 1.7% QoQ and 7.9% YoY. This was mainly due to: (i) greater business activity that has resulted in higher system and data processing costs and (ii) the effects of a higher inflation rate over costs indexed to inflation like rent expenses. In the quarter, the Bank opened 3 Santander Select branches and closed 6 Banefe branches and 1 Super Caja payment center as part of the on-going process of seeking greater efficiencies in the brick & mortar distribution network. The Bank also continued to optimize the ATM network in order to adjust to new security procedures and to remove unprofitable machines. The Bank remained focused on growing through complementary channels such as internet, phone and mobile banking.

In 3Q14, the Bank recognized a one-time impairment of intangibles charge of Ch$36,577 million. This impairment was mainly of software. In past periods, the Bank has invested significantly in systems and software. Software was usually amortized in 3 years, but some older ones that were not contributing to the Bank’s PNL were fully charged-off in 3Q14. This will signify lower depreciation and amortization expenses of Ch$13 billion in 2015 and Ch$5 billion in 2016. Excluding the charge for impairment, the efficiency ratio reached 36.7% in 9M14.

Other operating income, net, totaled a loss of Ch$8,434 million in 3Q14 compared to Ch$12,582 million in 2Q14. This lower net loss was mainly due to lower provisions for non-credit contingencies.

 

Income tax expense

 

In September 2014, the new tax bill became effective. This increased the statutory corporate tax rate to 21% in 2014, which was retroactive for the entire year of 2014. The corporate tax rate will increase to 22.5% in 2015 and 24% in 2016. Beginning in 2017, a corporation’s shareholders will have to choose between two alternative tax schemes. Under the first scheme, the corporation would be subject to a 25% corporate tax rate but receive no tax benefits for reinvesting profits. Under the second scheme, the corporation would pay a 27% corporate tax rate, but would receive partial tax benefits for reinvesting profits. 

 

The effective income tax rate in 3Q14 was negative compared to the statutory tax rate of 21%. Income tax expenses in the quarter included a one-time non-cash income of Ch$35,411 million (Ch$32,822 million attributable to net income to shareholders; the difference is attributable to non-controlling interest) from the readjustments made to the Bank’s deferred tax asset base. The Bank has more deferred tax assets than liabilities. This gain arises from the difference between the Bank’s accounting and tax books regarding how provisions and charge-offs are recognized. When the statutory rates were modified, the Bank’s net deferred tax assets increased as the future tax rates used to calculate thes assets were gradually increased from 20% to 27%. Excluding this impact, the effective tax rate in the quarter was 17.3%.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Santander Chile (formerly Banco Santiago) is a banking corporation (limited company) operating under the laws of the Republic of Chile, headquartered at Bandera N°140, Santiago. The corporation provides a broad range of general banking services to its customers, ranging from individuals to major corporations. Banco Santander Chile and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Bank” or “Banco Santander Chile”) offers commercial and consumer banking services, including (but not limited to) factoring, collection, leasing, securities and insurance brokering, mutual and investment fund management, and investment banking.

 

Banco Santander Spain controls Banco Santander-Chile through its holdings in Teatinos Siglo XXI Inversiones Ltda. and Santander-Chile Holding S.A., which are controlled subsidiaries of Banco Santander Spain. As of September 30, 2014 Banco Santander Spain owns or controls directly and indirectly 99.5% of Santander-Chile Holding S.A. and 100% of Teatinos Siglo XXI Inversiones Ltda. This gives Banco Santander Spain control over 67.18% of the Bank’s shares.

 

a)Basis of preparation

 

These Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Compendium of Accounting Standards issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF), the Chilean regulatory agency. The General Banking Law set out in its article 15 states that, the banks must apply accounting standards established by SBIF. For those issues not covered by the SBIF, the Bank must apply generally accepted standards issued by the Colegio de Contadores de Chile A.G (Association of Chilean Accountants), which agree to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In the event of discrepancies between the accounting principles and accounting standards issued by the SBIF (Compendium of Accounting Standards), the latter shall prevail.

 

For purposes of these financial statements we use certain terms and conventions. References to “US$”, “U.S. dollars” and “dollars” are to United States dollars, references to “EUR” are to European Economic Community Euro, references to “CNY” are to Chinese Yuan or renminbi, references to “CHF” are to Swiss franc, references to “Chilean pesos”, “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos, and references to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento. The UF is an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit with a value in Chilean pesos that changes daily to reflect changes in the official Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the Chilean National Institute of Statistics) for the previous month.

 

The Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contain additional information to support the figures submitted in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows for the Period. The notes provide narrative descriptions and further information in a clear, relevant, reliable and comparable manner.

 

b)Basis of preparation for the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

 

The Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, incorporate the financial statements of the Bank entities over which the bank has control (including structured entities); and includes the adjustments, reclassifications and eliminations needed to comply with the accounting and valuation criteria established by IFRS issued by IASB, except in those cases where the SBIF regulations prevail as explained above. Control is achieved when the Bank:

 

I.  has power over the investee;
II.  is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
III.  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

 

The Bank reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

 

When the Bank has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities over the investee unilaterally. The Bank considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Bank’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

 

·the size of the Bank’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
·potential voting rights held by the Bank, other vote holders or other parties;

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

·rights arising from other agreements; and
·any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Bank has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings

 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Bank obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Bank loses control over the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Income and in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Other Comprehensive Income from the date the Bank gains control until the date when the Bank ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Bank and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Bank and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit in certain circumstances.

 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries to ensure their accounting policies are consistent with the Bank’s accounting policies.

 

All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

Changes in the consolidated entities ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying values of the Group’s equity and the non-controlling interests’ equity are adjusted to reflect the changes to their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Bank.

 

In addition, third parties’ shares in the Consolidated Bank’s equity are presented as “Non-controlling interests” in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity.

iii.Associates

 

An associate is an entity over which the Bank has significant influence. Significant influence, in this case, is defined as the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

In the case of entities controlled by the Bank through other considerations, income and equity are presented in full as non-controlling interest, since the Bank controls them, but does not have any ownership expressed as a percentage.

 

d)Operating segments

 

The Bank discloses separate information for each operating segment that:

 

i.has been identified, and
ii.exceeds the quantitative thresholds stipulated for a segment.

 

Operating segments with similar economic characteristics often have a similar long-term financial performance. Two or more segments can be combined only if aggregation is consistent with International Financial Reporting Standard 8 “Operating Segments” (IFRS 8) and the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in each of the following respects:

 

i.the nature of the products and services;
ii.the nature of the production processes;
iii.the type or class of customers that use their products and services;
iv.the methods used to distribute their products or services; and
v.if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example, banking, insurance, or public utilities.

 

The Bank reports separately on each operating segment that exceeds any of the following quantitative thresholds:

 

i.Its reported revenue, from both external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10% or more of the combined internal and external revenue of all the operating segments.

 

ii.The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater in absolute amount of: (i) the combined reported profit of all the operating segments that did not report a loss; (ii) the combined reported loss of all the operating segments that reported a loss.

 

iii.Its assets represent 10% or more of the combined assets of all the operating segments.

 

Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be treated as segments to be reported, in which case the information must be disclosed separately if management believes it could be useful for the users of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

Information about other business activities of the operating segments not separately reported is combined and disclosed in the “Other segments” category.

 

According to the information presented, the Bank’s segments were determined under the following definitions: An operating segment is a component of an entity:

 

i.that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses from transactions with other components of the same entity);
ii.whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief executive officer, who makes decisions about resources allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and
iii.for which discrete financial information is available.

 

e)Functional and presentation currency

 

According to International Accounting Standard No.21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” (IAS 21), the Chilean peso, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates and the currency which influences its costs and revenues structure, has been defined as the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.

 

Accordingly, all balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the Chilean Peso are treated as “foreign currency.”

f)Foreign currency transactions

 

The Bank grants loans and accepts deposits in amounts denominated in foreign currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, held by the Bank are translated to Chilean pesos based on the market rate published by Reuters at 1:30 p.m. on the last business day of every month; the rate used was Ch$598.28 per US$1 as of September 30, 2014 (Ch$504.70 per US$1 as of September 30, 2013).

 

The amounts of net foreign exchange gains and losses includes recognition of the effects that exchange rate variations have on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the profits and losses on foreign exchange spot and forward transactions undertaken by the Bank.

 

g)Definitions and classification of financial instruments

 

i.Definitions

 

A “financial instrument” is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity, and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

 

An “equity instrument” is a legal transaction that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity deducting all of its liabilities.

 

A “financial derivative” is a financial instrument whose value changes in response to the changes in an observable market variable (such as an interest rate, a foreign exchange rate, a financial instrument’s price, or a market index, including credit ratings), whose initial investment is very small compared with other financial instruments having a similar response to changes in market factors, and which is generally settled at a future date.

 

“Hybrid financial instruments” are contracts that simultaneously include a non-derivative host contract together with a financial derivative, known as an embedded derivative, which is not separately transferable and has the effect that some of the cash flows of the hybrid contract vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.

 

ii.Classification of financial assets for measurement purposes

 

The financial assets are initially classified into the various categories used for management and measurement purposes.

 

Financial assets are included for measurement purposes in one of the following categories:

 

-Trading investments portfolio (at fair value through profit and loss): this classification includes the financial assets acquired for the purpose of generating profits in the short term from fluctuations in their prices. This classification includes the portfolio of trading investments and financial derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments.

 

-Available for sale investments portfolio, is comprised of debt instruments not classified as: “held-to-maturity investments,” “Credit investments (loans and accounts receivable from customers or interbank loans)” or “Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.” Available for sale (AFS) investments are initially recorded at cost, which includes transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. AFS instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, or based on appraisals determined using internal models when appropriate. Unrealized gains or losses stemming from changes in fair value are recorded as a debit or credit under the heading “Other comprehensive income” within equity. When these investments are disposed or become impaired, the cumulative amount of the adjustments at fair value recognized in “Other comprehensive income” are transferred to the Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations.”

 

-Held to maturity instruments portfolio: this classification includes debt securities traded on an active market, with a fixed maturity, and with fixed or determinable payments, for which the Bank has both the intent and a proven ability to hold to maturity. Held to maturity investments are recorded at their amortized cost plus interest earned, less any impairment losses established when their carrying amount exceeds the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

-Credit investments (loans and accounts receivable from customers or interbank loans): this classification includes financing granted to third parties, based on their nature, regardless of the class of borrower and the form of financing. It includes loans and accounts receivable from customers, interbank loans, and financial lease transactions in which the consolidated entities acts as lessor. Loans and receivables shall be measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

iii. Classification of financial assets for presentation purposes

 

For presentation purposes, the financial assets are classified by their nature into the following line items in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements:

 

-Cash and deposits in banks: This line includes cash balances, checking accounts and on-demand deposits with the Central Bank of Chile and other domestic and foreign financial institutions. Amounts invested as overnight deposits are included in this item.

 

-Cash items in process of collection: This item represents domestic transactions in the process of transfer through a central domestic clearinghouse or international transactions which may be delayed in settlement due to timing differences, etc.

 

-Trading investments: This item includes financial instruments held-for-trading and investments in mutual funds which must be adjusted to their fair value in the same way as instruments acquired for trading.

 

-Investments under resale agreements: includes balances of financial instruments purchased under resale agreement.

 

-Financial derivative contracts: Financial derivative contracts with positive fair values are presented in this item. It includes both independent contracts as well as derivatives that should and can be separated from a host contract, whether they are for trading or accounted for as derivatives held for hedging, as shown in Note 6 to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

·Trading derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, including embedded derivatives separated from hybrid financial instruments.

 

·Hedging derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives designated as being in a hedging relationship, including the embedded derivatives separated from the hybrid financial instruments.

 

-Interbank loans: This item includes the balances of transactions with domestic and foreign banks, including the Central Bank of Chile, other than those reflected in certain other financial asset classifications listed above.

 

-Loans and accounts receivables from customers: These loans are non-derivative financial assets for which fixed or determined amounts are charged, that are not listed on an active market and which the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in the short term. When the Bank is the lessor in a lease, and it substantially transfers the risks and rewards incidental to the leased asset, the transaction is presented in loans and accounts receivable from customers while the leased asset is derecognized in the Bank´s statement of financial position.

 

-Investment instruments: Are classified into two categories: held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale investments. The held-to-maturity investment classification includes only those instruments for which the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. The remaining investments are treated as available for sale.

 

iv.Classification of financial liabilities for measurement purposes

 

Financial liabilities are initially classified for management and measurement purposes as follows:

 

-Financial liabilities held for trading (at fair value through profit or loss): include financial liabilities issued to generate short-term profits from fluctuations in their prices, financial derivatives not deemed to qualify for hedge accounting and financial liabilities arising from firm commitment of financial assets purchased under repurchase agreements or borrowed (“short positions”).

 

-Financial liabilities at amortized cost : include financial liabilities, regardless of their class and maturity, not included in any of the aforementioned categories which arise from the borrowing activities of financial institutions.

v.Classification of financial liabilities for presentation purposes

 

The financial liabilities are classified by their nature into the following line items in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position:

 

-Deposits and other on- demand liabilities: this includes all on-demand obligations except for term savings accounts, which are not considered on-demand instruments in view of their special characteristics. Obligations whose payment may be required during the period are deemed to be on-demand obligations. Operations which become callable the day after the closing date are not treated as on-demand obligations.

 

-Cash items in process of being cleared: this represents domestic transactions in the process of transfer through a central domestic clearing house or international transactions which may be delayed in settlement due to timing differences, etc..

 

-Obligations under repurchase agreements: this includes the balances of sales of financial instruments under securities repurchase and loan agreements. In accordance with the applicable regulation, the Bank does not record instruments acquired under repurchase agreements.

 

-Time deposits and other time liabilities: this shows the balances of deposit transactions in which a term at the end of which they become callable has been stipulated.

 

-Financial derivative contracts: this includes financial derivative contracts with negative fair values (i.e. a liability of the Bank), whether they are for trading or for hedge accounting, as set forth in Note 6.

 

·Trading derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, including embedded derivatives separated from hybrid financial instruments.

 

·Hedging derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives designated as being in a hedging relationship, including the embedded derivatives separated from the hybrid financial instruments.

 

-Interbank borrowings: This includes obligations due to other domestic banks, foreign banks, or the Central Bank of Chile, other than those reflected in certain other financial liability classifications listed above.

 

-Issued debt instruments: There are three types of instruments issued by the Bank: Obligations under letters of credit, Subordinated bonds and Senior bonds placed in the local and foreign market.

 

-Other financial liabilities: This item includes credit obligations to persons other than domestic banks, foreign banks, or the Central Bank of Chile, for financing purposes or operations in the normal course of business.

 

h)Valuation of financial instruments and recognition of fair value changes

 

In general, financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value which, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is deemed to be the transaction price. Financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss includes transaction costs. Subsequently, and at the end of each reporting period, they are measured pursuant to the following criteria:

 

i.Valuation of financial assets

 

Financial assets are measured according to their fair value, gross of any transaction costs that may be incurred in the course of a sale, except for loans and accounts receivable.

 

According to IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective date from January 1, 2013), “fair value” is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. A fair value measurement is for a particular asset or liability. Therefore, when measuring fair value an entity shall take into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: (a) in the principal market for the asset or liability; or (b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Even when there is no observable market to provide pricing information in connection with the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement shall assume that the transaction takes place considered from the perspective of a potential market participant who intends to maximize value associated with the asset or liability.

 

When using valuation techniques, the Bank shall maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs as available. If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, the price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances shall be used to measure fair value regardless of where the input is categorized within the fair value hierarchy (i.e. Level 1, 2 or 3). IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).

 

All derivatives are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position at the fair value previously described. This fair value is compared to the valuation as at the trade date. If the change in value is positive, this is recorded as an asset. If the change in value is negative, this is recorded as a liability. The fair value on the trade date is deemed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to be the transaction price. The changes in the fair value of derivatives from the trade date are recorded in “Net income from financial operations” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

Specifically, the fair value of financial derivatives included in the portfolios of financial assets or liabilities held for trading is deemed to be their daily quoted price. If, for exceptional reasons, the quoted price cannot be determined on a given date, the fair value is determined using similar methods to those used to measure over the counter (OTC) derivatives. The fair value of OTC derivatives is the sum of the future cash flows resulting from the instrument, discounted to present value at the date of valuation (“present value” or “theoretical close”) using valuation techniques commonly used by the financial markets: “net present value” (NPV) and option pricing models, among other methods. The calculation to establish the fair value includes credit valuation adjustments (CVA) hence the fair value of each instrument should include the credit risk of its counterparty and the Bank’s own risk of the operation.

 

“Loans and accounts receivable from customers” and “Held-to-maturity investments” are measured at amortized cost using the “effective interest method.” “Amortized cost” is the acquisition cost of a financial asset or liability, adjusted as appropriate for prepayments of principal and the cumulative amortization (recorded in the consolidated income statement) of the difference between the initial cost and the maturity amount as calculated under the effective interest rate method. For financial assets, amortized cost also includes any reductions for impairment and provides for amounts not recoverable . For loans and accounts receivable designated as hedged items in fair value hedges, the changes in their fair value related to the risk or risks being hedged is recorded in “Net income from financial operations”.

 

The “effective interest rate” is the discount rate that exactly matches the initial amount of a financial instrument to all its estimated cash flows over its remaining life. For fixed-rate financial instruments, the effective interest rate incorporates the contractual interest rate established on the acquisition date. Where applicable, the fees and transaction costs that are a part of the financial return are included. For floating-rate financial instruments, the effective interest rate matches the current rate of return until the date of the next review of interest rates.

 

Equity instruments whose fair value cannot be determined in a sufficiently objective manner are measured at acquisition cost adjusted for any related impairment loss. The financial derivatives, with an underlying asset of the equity instruments, are settled by delivery of those instruments and must be valued using the same principles.

 

The amounts at which the financial assets are recorded represent the Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at the reporting date. The Bank has also received collateral and other credit enhancements to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, which consist mainly of mortgage guarantees, equity instruments and personal securities, assets under leasing agreements, assets acquired under repurchase agreements, securities loans and derivatives.

 

ii.Valuation of financial liabilities

 

In general, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, as defined above, except for those financial liabilities designated as hedged items or hedging instruments and financial liabilities held for trading, which are measured at fair value.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

iii.Valuation techniques

 

Financial instruments at fair value, determined on the basis of price quotations in active markets, include government debt securities, private sector debt securities, equity shares, short positions, and fixed-income securities issued.

 

In cases where price quotations cannot be observed in available markets, the Management determines a best estimate of the price that the market would set using its own internal models. In most cases, these models use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs however for some valuations of financial instruments, significant inputs are unobservable in the market. To determine a value for those instruments, various techniques are employed to make these estimates, including the extrapolation of observable market data.

 

The most reliable evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is the transaction price, unless the value of the instrument can be obtained from other market transactions performed with the same or similar instruments or can be measured by using a valuation technique in which the variables used include only observable market data, mainly interest rates.

 

The main techniques used as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and as of December 31, 2013 by the Bank’s internal models to determine the fair value of the financial instruments are as follows:

 

i. In the valuation of financial instruments permitting static hedging (mainly “forwards” and “swaps”), the “present value” method is used. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using the interest rate curves of the related currencies. The interest rate curves are generally observable market data.

 

ii. In the valuation of financial instruments requiring dynamic hedging (mainly structured options and other structured instruments), the Black-Scholes model is normally used. Where appropriate, observable market inputs are used to obtain factors such as the bid-offer spread, exchange rates, volatility, correlation indexes and market liquidity.

 

iii.In the valuation of certain financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk, such as interest rate futures, caps and floors, the present value method (futures) and the Black-Scholes model (plain vanilla options) are used. The main inputs used in these models are observable market data, including the related interest rate curves, volatilities, correlations and exchange rates.

 

The fair value of the financial instruments calculated by the aforementioned internal models considers contractual terms and observable market data, which include interest rates, credit risk, exchange rates, quoted market price of shares, volatility and prepayments, among others. The valuation models are not significantly subjective, since these methodologies can be adjusted and evaluated, as appropriate, through the internal calculation of fair value and the subsequent comparison with the related actively traded price.

 

iv.Recording result

 

As a general rule, changes in the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. A distinction is made between those arising from the accrual of interest, which are recorded under interest income or interest expense as appropriate, and those arising for other reasons, which are recorded at their net amount under “Net income from financial operations”.

 

In the case of trading investments, the fair value adjustments, interest income, indexation adjustment and foreign exchange, are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations.”

 

Adjustments due to changes in fair value from:

 

-“Available-for-sale instruments” are recorded and accumulated under “Other comprehensive income” within Equity.

 

-When available-for-sale instruments are disposed of or determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated as “Other comprehensive income” is reclassified to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

v.Hedging transactions

 

The Bank uses financial derivatives for the following purposes:

 

i)to sell to customers who request these instruments in the management of their market and credit risks,
ii)to use these derivatives in the management of the risks of the Bank entities’ own positions and assets and liabilities (“hedging derivatives”), and
iii)to obtain profits from changes in the price of these derivatives (“trading derivatives”).

 

All financial derivatives that are not held for hedging purposes are accounted for as “trading derivatives.”

 

A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if all the following conditions are met:

 

1.The derivative hedges one of the following three types of exposure:

 

a.Changes in the value of assets and liabilities due to fluctuations, among others, in the interest rate and/or exchange rate to which the position or balance to be hedged is subject (“fair value hedge”);
b.Changes in the estimated cash flows arising from financial assets and liabilities, and highly probable forecasted transactions (“cash flow hedge”);
c.The net investment in a foreign operation (“hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation”).

 

2.It is effective in offsetting exposure inherent in the hedged item or position throughout the expected term of the hedge, which means that:

 

a.At the date of arrangement the hedge is expected, under normal conditions, to be highly effective (“prospective effectiveness”).
b.There is sufficient evidence that the hedge was actually effective during the life of the hedged item or position (“retrospective effectiveness”).

 

3.There must be adequate documentation evidencing the specific designation of the financial derivative to hedge certain balances or transactions and how this effective hedge was expected to be achieved and measured, provided that this is consistent with the Bank’s management of own risks.

 

The changes in the value of financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded as follows:

 

a.For fair value hedges, the gains or losses arising on both hedging instruments and the hedged items (attributable to the type of risk being hedged) are included as “Net income from financial operations” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income

 

b.For fair value hedges of interest rate risk on a portfolio of financial instruments, gains or losses that arise in measuring hedging instruments and other gains or losses due to changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item (attributable to the hedged risk) are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations”.

 

c.For cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is included as “Cash flow hedge” in “Other comprehensive income”, until the hedged transaction occurs, thereafter being reclassified to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, unless the hedged transaction results in the recognition of non–financial assets or liabilities, in which case it is included in the cost of the non-financial asset or liability.

 

d.The differences in valuation of the hedging instrument corresponding to the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedging transactions are recorded directly in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations”.

 

If a derivative designated as a hedging instrument no longer meets the requirements described above due to expiration, ineffectiveness or for any other reason, the derivative is classified as a “trading derivative.” When “fair value hedging” is discontinued, the fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk are amortized to gain or loss from that date.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

When cash flow hedges are discontinued, any cumulative gain or loss of the hedging instrument recognized under “Other comprehensive income” (from the period when the hedge was effective) remains recorded in equity until the hedged transaction occurs, at which time it is recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, unless the transaction is no longer expected to occur, in which case any cumulative gain or loss is recorded immediately in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

vi.Derivatives embedded in hybrid financial instruments

 

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or in other host contracts are accounted for separately as derivatives if their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts, provided that the host contracts are not classified as “Other financial assets (liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss” or as “Trading investments portfolio”.

 

vii.Offsetting of financial instruments

 

Financial asset and liability balances are offset, i.e., reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position at their net amount, only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recorded amounts and the Bank intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

viii.Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

 

The accounting treatment of transfers of financial assets is determined by the extent and the manner in which the risks and rewards associated with the transferred assets are transferred to third parties:

 

i.If the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to third parties, as in the case of unconditional sales of financial assets, sales under repurchase agreements at fair value at the date of repurchase, sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option deeply out of the money, utilization of assets in which the transferor does not retain subordinated debt nor grants any credit enhancement to the new holders, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is derecognized from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and any rights or obligations retained or created in the transfer are simultaneously recorded.

 

ii.If the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership associated with the transferred financial asset, as in the case of sales of financial assets under repurchase agreements at a fixed price or at the sale price plus interest, securities lending agreements under which the borrower undertakes to return the same or similar assets, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is not derecognized from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and continues to be measured by the same criteria as those used before the transfer. However, the following items are recorded:

 

-An associated financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received; this liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost.
-Both the income from the transferred (but not removed) financial asset as well as any expenses incurred due to the new financial liability.

 

iii.If the Bank neither transfers nor substantially retains all the risks and rewards of ownership associated with the transferred financial asset—as in the case of sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option that is not deeply in or out of the money, securitization of assets in which the transferor retains a subordinated debt or other type of credit enhancement for a portion of the transferred asset, and other similar cases—the following distinction is made:

 

a.If the transferor does not retain control of the transferred financial asset: the asset is removed from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and any rights or obligations retained or created in the transfer are recorded.

 

b.If the transferor retains control of the transferred financial asset: it continues to be recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position for an amount equal to its exposure to changes in value and a financial liability associated with the transferred financial asset is recorded. The net carrying amount of the transferred asset and the associated liability is the amortized cost of the rights and obligations retained, if the transferred asset is measured at amortized cost, or the fair value of the rights and obligations retained, if the transferred asset is measured at fair value.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Accordingly, financial assets are only removed from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position when the rights over the cash flows they generate have terminated or when all the inherent risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred to third parties. Similarly, financial liabilities are only derecognized from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged or cancelled or the contract has matured.

 

i)Recognizing income and expenses

 

The most significant criteria used by the Bank to recognize its revenues and expenses are summarized as follows:

 

i.Interest revenue, interest expense, and similar items

 

Interest revenue and expense are recorded on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

 

Interest and inflation adjustments on loans whose payments of principal or interest are renegotiated or refinanced or loans that are more than 90 days overdue or when the Bank believes that the debtor poses a high risk of default, are generally referred to as “suspended” and are recorded in memo accounts which are not part of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Income. These are reported as memorandum accounts (Note 22). This interest is recognized as income upon collection.

 

The resumption of interest income recognition of previously suspended loans only occurs when such loans became current (i.e., payments were received such that the loans are contractually past-due for less than 90 days) or they are no longer classified under the C3, C4, C5, or C6 categories (for loans individually evaluated for impairment) as per SBIF definitions (Note 1, subsection p).

 

Dividends received from companies classified as “Investments in associates and other companies” are recorded as income when the right to receive them arises.

 

ii.Commissions, fees and similar items

 

Fee and commission income and expenses are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income using criteria that vary according to their nature. The main criteria are:

 

-Fee and commission income and expenses on financial assets and liabilities are recognized when they are earned.
-Those arising from transactions or services that are performed over a period of time are recognized over the life of these transactions or services.
-Those relating to services provided in a single transaction are recognized when the single transaction is performed.

 

iii.Non-financial income and expenses

 

Non-financial income and expenses are recognized for accounting purposes on an accrual basis.

 

iv.Loan arrangement fees

 

Fees that arise as a result of the origination of a loan, mainly application and analysis-related fees, are deferred and charged recognized to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income over the term of the loan.

 

j)Impairment

 

i.Financial assets

 

A financial asset, other than that at fair value through profit and loss, is evaluated on each financial statement filing date to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists.

Banco Santander Chile and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

A financial asset or group of financial assets will be impaired if, and only if, objective evidence of impairment exists as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the asset (“event causing the loss”), and this event or events causing the loss have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset or group of financial assets.

 

An impairment loss relating to financial assets recorded at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the recorded amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

 

Individually significant financial assets are individually tested to determine their impairment. The remaining financial assets are evaluated collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

 

All impairment losses are recorded in income. Any impairment loss relating to a financial asset available for sale previously recorded in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

 

The reversal of an impairment loss occurs only if it can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment loss was recorded. The reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss has been recognized for the asset in prior years. The reversal is recorded in income with the exception of available for sale equity financial assets.

 

ii.Non-financial assets

 

The Bank’s non-financial assets, excluding investment properties, are reviewed at reporting date to determine whether they show signs of impairment (i.e. its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount). If any such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated, in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

In connection with other assets, impairment losses recorded in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether the loss has decreased and should be reversed. The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

k)Property, plant, and equipment

 

This category includes the amount of buildings, land, furniture, vehicles, computer hardware and other fixtures owned by the consolidated entities or acquired under finance leases. Assets are classified according to their use as follows:

 

i.Property, plant, and equipment for own use

 

Property, plant and equipment for own use includes but is not limited to, tangible assets received by the consolidated entities in full or partial satisfaction of financial assets representing accounts receivable from third parties which are intended to be held for continuing own use and tangible assets acquired under finance leases. These assets are presented at acquisition cost less the related accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, any impairment losses (when net carrying amount was higher than recoverable amount).

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the acquisition cost of assets less their residual value, assuming that the land on which buildings and other structures stand has an indefinite life and, therefore, is not subject to depreciation.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

The Bank must apply the following useful lives for the tangible assets that comprise its assets:

 

ITEM  Useful life
(Months)
 
     
Land   - 
Paintings and works of art   - 
Assets retired for disposal   - 
Carpets and curtains   36 
Computers and hardware   36 
Vehicles   36 
IT systems and software   36 
ATMs   60 
Other machines and equipment   60 
Office furniture   60 
Telephone and communication systems   60 
Security systems   60 
Rights over telephone lines   60 
Air conditioning systems   84 
Other installations   120 
Security systems (acquisitions up to October 2002)   120 
Buildings   1,200 

 

The consolidated entities assess at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of any of their tangible assets’ exceeds its recoverable amount. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and future depreciation charges are adjusted in accordance with the revised carrying amount and to the new remaining useful life, if the useful life needs to be revised.

 

Similarly, if there is an indication of a recovery in the value of a tangible asset, the consolidated entities record the reversal of the impairment loss recorded in prior periods and adjust the future depreciation charges accordingly. In no circumstance may the reversal of an impairment loss on an asset increase its carrying value above the one it would have had if no impairment losses had been recorded in prior years.

 

The estimated useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment held for own use are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to detect significant changes. If changes are detected, the useful lives of the assets are adjusted by correcting the depreciation charge to be recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income in future years on the basis of the new useful lives.

 

Maintenance expenses relating to tangible assets held for own use are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

 

ii.Assets leased out under operating leases

 

The criteria used to record the acquisition cost of assets leased out under operating leases, to calculate their depreciation and their respective estimated useful lives, and to record the impairment losses thereof, are consistent with those described in relation to property, plant and equipment held for own use.

 

l)Leasing

 

i.Finance leases

 

Finance leases are leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

When the consolidated entities act as the lessor of an asset, the sum of the present value of the lease payments receivable from the lessee, including the exercise price of the lessee’s purchase option at the end of the lease term, which is equivalent to one additional lease payment and so is reasonably certain to be exercised, is recognized as lending to third parties and is therefore included under “Loans and accounts receivables from customers” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position.

 

When the consolidated entities act as lessees, they show the cost of the leased assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position based on the nature of the leased asset, and simultaneously record a liability for the same amount (which is the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the sum of the present value of the lease payments payable to the lessor plus, if appropriate, the exercise of the purchase option). The depreciation policy for these assets is consistent with that for property, plant and equipment for own use.

 

In both cases, the finance income and finance expenses arising from these contracts are credited and debited, respectively, to “Interest income” and “Interest expense” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income so as to achieve a constant rate of return over the lease term.

 

ii.Operating leases

 

In operating leases, ownership of the leased asset and substantially all the risks and rewards incidental thereto remain with the lessor.

 

When the consolidated entities act as the lessor, they present the acquisition cost of the leased assets under "Property, plant and equipment”. The depreciation policy for these assets is consistent with that for similar items of property, plant and equipment held for own use and revenues from operating leases is recorded on a straight line basis under “Other operating income” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

When the consolidated entities act as the lessees, the lease expenses, including any incentives granted by the lessor, are charged on a straight line basis to “Administrative and other expenses” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. This charge is calculated using the longer term of the life of the lease or the useful life of any leasehold improvement,

 

iii.Sale and leaseback transactions

 

For sale at fair value and operating leasebacks, the profit or loss generated is recorded at the time of sale except in the case of excess of proceeds over fair value, which difference is amortized over the period of use of the asset. In the case of finance leasebacks, the profit or loss generated is amortized over the lease term.

 

m)Factored receivables

 

Factored receivables are valued at the amount disbursed by the Bank in exchange of invoices or other commercial instruments representing the credit which the transferor assigns to the Bank. The price difference between the amounts disbursed and the actual face value of the credits is recorded as interest income in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income through the effective interest method over the financing period.

 

When the assignment of these instruments involves no liability for the assignee, the Bank assumes the risks of insolvency of the parties responsible for payment.

 

n)Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are identified as non-monetary assets (separately identifiable from other assets) without physical substance which arise as a result of legal or contractual rights. The Bank recognise an intangible asset, whether purchased or self-created (at cost), when the cost of the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Bank.

 

Intangible assets are recorded initially at acquisition or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Internally developed computer software is recorded as an intangible asset if, among other requirements (basically the Bank’s ability to use or sell it), it can be identified and its ability to generate future economic benefits can be demonstrated. The estimated useful life for software is 3 years.

 

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life; which has been defined as 36 months.

 

Expenditure on research activities is recorded as an expense in the year in which it is incurred and cannot be subsequently capitalized.

 

o)Cash and cash equivalents

 

For the preparation of the cash flow statement, the indirect method was used, beginning with the Bank’s consolidated pre-tax income and incorporating non-cash transactions, as well as income and expenses associated with cash flows, which are classified as operating, investment or financing activities.

 

p)Allowances for loan losses

 

The Bank has established allowances to cover probable losses on loans and account receivables in accordance with instructions issued by Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions. These models and risk assessment have been approved by the Board of Directors.

 

The Bank models determine allowances and provisions for loan losses according to the type of portfolio or operations. Loans and accounts receivables from customers are divided into three categories:

 

i.Commercial loans,
ii.Mortgage loans, and
iii.Consumer loans.

 

The Bank performs an assessment of the risk associated with loans and accounts receivable from customers to determine their allowance for loan losses as described below:

 

-Individual assessment - represents the case where the Bank assesses a debtor as individually significant, or when he/she cannot be classified within a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics, due to their size, complexity or level of exposure.
-Group assessment - a group assessment is relevant for analyzing a large number of operations with small individual balances from individuals or small companies. The Bank groups debtors with similar credit risk characteristics giving to each group a default probability and recovery rate based on a historical analysis.

 

The models used to determine credit risk allowances are described as follows:

 

I.Allowances for individual assessment

 

An individual assessment of commercial debtors is necessary in accordance with the SBIF, in the case of companies which, due to their size, complexity or level of exposure, must be known and analyzed in detail.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

The Bank assigns a risk category to each debtor, their contingent loans and loans. These are assigned to one of the following portfolio categories: Normal, Substandard and Impaired. The risk factors considered are: industry or economic sector, owners or managers, financial situation and payment capacity, and payment behavior.

 

The portfolio categories and their definitions are as follows:

 

i.Normal Portfolio includes debtors with a payment capacity that allows them to meet their obligations and commitments. Evaluations of the current economic and financial environment do not indicate that this will change. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from A1 to A6.

 

ii.Substandard Portfolio includes debtors with financial difficulties or a significant deterioration of their payment capacity. There exists reasonable doubt concerning the future reimbursement of the capital and interest within the contractual terms, with limited capacity to settle short-term financial obligations. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from B1 to B4.

 

iii.Impaired Portfolio includes debtors and their loans from which repayment is considered remote. This portfolio consists of debtors that demonstrate a reduced or null payment capacity with signs of a possible bankruptcy, debtors who required a forced debt restructuring or any debtor who has been in default for over 90 days in his payment of interest or capital. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from C1 to C6.

 

Normal and Substandard Compliance Portfolio

 

As part of individual assessment, the Bank classifies debtors into the following categories, assigning them a probability of non-performance (PNP) and severity (SEV), which result in the expected loss percentages.

 

Type of Portfolio  Debtor’s
Category
  Probability of
Non-
Performance
(%)
   Severity (%)   Expected
Loss (%)
 
   A1   0.04    90.0    0.03600 
   A2   0.10    82.5    0.08250 
   A3   0.25    87.5    0.21875 
Normal portfolio  A4   2.00    87.5    1.75000 
   A5   4.75    90.0    4.27500 
   A6   10.00    90.0    9.00000 
   B1   15.00    92.5    13.87500 
Substandard portfolio  B2   22.00    92.5    20.35000 
   B3   33.00    97.5    32.17500 
   B4   45.00    97.5    43.87500 

 

The Bank first determines all credit exposures, which includes the accounting balances of loans and accounts receivable from customers plus contingent loans, less any amount recovered through executing the guarantees. The exposure of each category is determined by calculating the total balance in each portfolio (A1 to B4) and applying the expected loss rate.

 

Impaired Portfolio

 

A provision for an impaired portfolio is calculated by determining the expected loss rate, adjusting for amounts recoverable through guarantees and the present value of recoveries made through collection services after the related expenses.

 

Once the expected loss range is determined, the debtor can be classified into categories C1 to C6. Using this classification system the related allowance percentage is applied over the exposure amount, which includes loans and contingent loans related to the debtor.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

The allowance rates applied over the calculated exposure are as follows:

 

Classification  Estimated range of loss  Allowance 
C1  Up to 3%   2%
C2  Greater than 3% and less than 20%   10%
C3  Greater than 20% and less than 30%   25%
C4  Greater than 30% and less than 50%   40%
C5  Greater than 50% and less than 80%   65%
C6  Greater than 80%   90%

 

II.Allowances for group evaluations

 

Group evaluations are used to approximate allowances required for loans with low balances related to individuals and small companies.

 

Levels of required allowances have been established by the Bank, in accordance with loan losses methodology by classifying and grouping the loan portfolio based on similar credit risk characteristic indicating the debtor’s ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms. The Bank uses models based on debtors’ characteristics, payment history, loans due and defaulted loans, in addition to other parameters.

 

The Bank uses methodologies to establish credit risk, based on internal models to estimate the allowances for the group-evaluated portfolio. This portfolio includes individually non-significant commercial loans, mortgage and consumer loans (including installment loans, credit cards and overdraft lines). These methods allow the Bank to independently identify the portfolio behavior and establish the provision required to cover losses arising during the year.

 

The customers are classified according to their internal and external characteristics, using customer-portfolio model to differentiate each portfolio’s risk in an appropriate manner. This is known as the allocation profile method.

 

The allocation profile method is based on a statistical construction model that establishes a relationship through logistic regression between variables (for example default, payment behavior outside the Bank, socio-demographic data) and a response variable which determines the client’s risk which in this case is a default of 90 or more. Hence, common profiles are established and assigned a Probability of Non-Performance (PNP) and a recovery rate based on a historical analysis known as Severity (SEV).

 

Therefore, once the customers have been profiled and assigned a PNP and a SEV relating to the loan’s profile, the exposure at default (EXP) is calculated. This exposure includes the book value of the loans and accounts receivable from the customer, plus contingent loans, less any amount that can be recovered by executing guarantees (for credits other than consumer loans).

 

In August 2014, the consumer and commercial models were calibrated with the objective of improving the accuracy of a customer’s predicted behavior. This involved the release of consumer provisions of Ch$36,563 million and an increase in commercial provisions of Ch$45,141 million. The net effect was an increase of provisions for Ch$8,578 million under the "Provisions for loan losses" in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

III.Additional provisions

 

According to SBIF regulation, banks are allowed to establish provisions over the limits described below so as to protect themselves from the risk of non-predictable economical fluctuations that could affect the macro-economic environment or the situation of a specific economical sector.

 

According to No. 10 of Chapter B-1 from the SBIF Compendium of Accounting Standards, these provisions will be recorded in liabilities, similar to provisions for contingent loans. The Bank has not recorded provisions for this concept as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and as of December 31, 2013.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

IV.Charge-offs

 

As a general rule, charge-offs should be done when the contract rights over cash flow expire. In the case of loans and accounts receivable from customers, even if the above does not happen, the Bank will charge-off these amounts in accordance with Title II of Chapter B-2 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards (SBIF).

 

These charge-offs refer to the derecognition from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position of the respective loan operations, including any future payments due in the case of installments loans or leasing operations (for which partial charge-offs do not exist).

 

Charge-offs are recorded under “Provision for loan losses” through the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income in accordance with Chapter B-1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards (SBIF), independent of the cause. Any receipt of payment for a loan previously charged-off will be recognized as a recovery within “Provision for loan losses” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

Loan and accounts receivable charge-offs are recorded for overdue, past due, and current installments based on the time periods expired since reaching overdue status, as described below:

 

Type of loan   Term
     
Consumer loans with or without collateral   6 months
Other transactions without collateral   24 months
Commercial loans with collateral   36 months
Mortgage loans   48 months
Consumer leasing   6 months
Other non-mortgage leasing transactions   12 months
Mortgage leasing (household and business)   36 months

 

Any payment agreement of an already charged-off loan will not give rise to income—as long as the operation is still in an impaired status—and the effective payments received are accounted for as a recovery from loans previously charged-off.

 

Upon recovery of previously charged-off balances, the renegotiated loans will be recognized as an asset and the associated income as a recovery of loan loss within the “Provision for loan losses”.

 

V.Recovery of “Loans and accounts receivable from clients” previously charged off

 

Any receipt of payment for “Loans and accounts receivable from customers” previously charged-off will be recognized as a recovery within “Provision for loan losses” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

q)Provisions, contingent assets, and contingent liabilities

 

Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position when the Bank:

 

i.has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and
ii.it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle these obligations and the amount of these resources can be reliably measured.

 

Contingent assets or contingent liabilities are any potential rights or obligations arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence if one or more uncertain future events that are not wholly within control of the Bank.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

The following are classified as contingent in the supplementary information:

 

i.Guarantees and bonds: Including guarantees, bonds, standby letters of credit.

 

ii.Confirmed foreign letters of credit: Comprises of letters of credit confirmed by the Bank.

 

iii.Documentary letters of credit: Includes documentary letters of credit issued by the Bank, which have not yet been negotiated.

 

iv.Documented guarantees: Guarantees with promissory notes.

 

v.Interbank guarantee: Guarantees letters issued.

 

vi.Unrestricted credit lines: The balance of the available credit lines that customers may use without prior approval by the Bank (for example, using credit cards or overdrafts in checking accounts).

 

vii.Other credit commitments: Loans that the Bank has agreed but not yet lent. These outstanding balances must be transferred at an agreed future date when events contractually agreed upon with the customer occur, such as lines of credit linked to the progress of a construction or similar projects.

 

viii.Other contingent credits: Includes any other kind of commitment by the Bank which may exist and give rise to lending when certain future events occur. In general, this includes unusual transactions such as pledges made to secure the payment of loans among third parties or derivative contracts made by third parties that may result in a payment obligation and are not covered by deposits.

 

The Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and annual accounts reflect all significant provisions for which it is estimated that it is probable an outflow of resources will be required to meet the obligation. Provisions are quantified using the best available information on the consequences of the event giving rise to them and are reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period. Provisions must specify the liabilities for which they were originally recognized. Partial or total reversals are recognized when such obligations cease to exist or are reduced.

 

Provisions are classified according to the obligation covered as follows:

 

-Provision for employee salaries and expenses
-Provision for mandatory dividends
-Allowance for contingent credit risks
-Provisions for contingencies

 

r)Deferred income taxes and other deferred taxes

 

The Bank records, when appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on the tax rate, in accordance with the applicable tax laws, using the tax rate that applies to the period when the deferred asset and liability will be settled. The future effects of changes in tax legislation or tax rates are recorded in deferred taxes beginning on the date on which the law is enacted or substantially enacted.

 

s)Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported balances of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In certain cases, generally accepted accounting policies require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the basis for measurement. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Bank has estimated such values based on the best information available, including the use of modeling and other valuation techniques.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

The Bank has established allowances to cover probable losses, therefore, to estimate the allowances. These allowances must be regularly reviewed taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in forecasted portfolio quality, credit quality and economic conditions that may adversely affect the borrowers’ payment capacity. Increases in the allowances for loan losses are reflected as “Provision for loan losses” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. Loans are charged-off when Management determines that a loan or a portion thereof is uncollectible. Charge-offs are recorded as a reduction of the allowance for loan losses.

 

The estimates and assumptions made to calculate provisions are regularly reviewed by the Bank’s Management to quantify certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and commitments. Revised accounting estimates are recorded in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any affected future period.

 

These estimates, made on the basis of the best available information, mainly refer to:

 

-Impairment losses of certain assets (Notes 07, 08, 10, 11 and 30)
-The useful lives of tangible and intangible assets (Notes 10, 11 and 29)
-The fair value of assets and liabilities (Notes 05, 06, 09 and 32)
-Commitments and contingencies (Note 18)
-Current and deferred taxes (Note 12)

 

t)Non-current assets held for sale

 

Non-current assets (or a group holding assets and liabilities for disposal) expected to be recovered mainly through the sale of these items rather than through the continued use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately prior to this classification, assets (or elements of a disposable group) are re-measured in accordance with the Bank’s policies. The assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value minus cost of sales.

 

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013 the Bank has not classified any non-current assets as held for sale.

 

Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment

 

Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment of loans and accounts receivable from clients are recognized at their fair value (as determined by an independent appraisal). For assets acquired under an agreement between the client and the Bank a value is agreed upon by the parties through negotiation. When the parties do not reach an agreement and legal actions are required for the Bank to gain possession, the value for those assets is determined at auction. In both instances, an independent appraisal is performed.

 

The excess of the outstanding loan balance over the fair value is charged to income for the period, under “Provision for loan losses”.

 

These assets are subsequently adjusted to their net realizable value less cost to sale (assuming a forced sale). The difference between the carrying value of the asset and the estimated fair value less costs to sell is charged to income for the period, under “Other operating expenses”.

 

Independent appraisals are obtained at least every 18 months and fair values are adjusted accordingly.

 

u)Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the net income attributable to the equity holders of the Bank for the reported period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are determined in the same way as basic earnings, but the weighted average number of outstanding shares is adjusted to take into consideration the potential diluting effect of stock options, warrants, and convertible debt.

 

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013 the Bank did not have any instruments that generated dilutive effects.

v)Temporary acquisition (assignment) of assets and liabilities

 

Purchases or sales of financial assets under non-optional repurchase agreements at a fixed price are recorded in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position based on the nature of the debtor (creditor) under “Deposits in the Central Bank of Chile,” “Deposits in financial institutions” or “Loans and accounts receivable from customers” (“Central Bank of Chile deposits,” “Deposits from financial institutions” or “Customer deposits”).

 

Differences between the purchase and sale prices are recorded as financial interest over the term of the contract.

 

w)Assets under management and investment funds managed by the Bank

 

Assets owned by third parties and managed by certain companies that are within the Bank’s scope of consolidation (Santander Asset Management S.A., Administradora General de Fondos and Santander S.A. Sociedad Securitizadora), are not included in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position. Management fees are included in “Fee and commission income” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

x)Provision for mandatory dividends

 

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Bank recorded a provision for mandatory dividends. This provision is made pursuant to Article 79 of the Corporations Act, which is in accordance with the Bank’s internal policy, pursuant to which at least 30% of net income for the period is distributed, except in the case of a contrary resolution adopted at the respective shareholders’ meeting by unanimous vote of the outstanding shares. This provision is recorded, as a deducting item, under the “Retained earnings – provisions for mandatory dividends” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity with offset to Provisions.

 

y)Employee benefits

 

i.Post-employment benefits – Defined Benefit Plan:

 

According to current collective labor agreements and other agreements, the Bank has an additional benefit available to its principal executives, consisting of a pension plan whose purpose is to endow them with funds for a better supplementary pension upon their retirement.

 

Features of the Plan:

 

The main features of the Post-Employment Benefits Plan promoted by the Banco Santander Chile are:

 

a.Aimed at the Bank’s management
b.The general requisite to apply for this benefit is that the employee must be carrying out his/her duties when turning 60 years old.
c.The Bank will create a pension fund, with life insurance, for each beneficiary in the plan. Periodic contributions into this fund are made by the manager and matched by the Bank.
d.The Bank will be responsible for granting the benefits directly.

 

To determine the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the current service cost, the method of projected unit credit is used.

 

Components of defined benefit cost include:

 

-current service cost and any past service cost, which are recognized in profit or loss for the period;
-net interest on the liability (asset) for net defined benefit, which is recognized in profit or loss for the period;
-new liability (asset) remeasurements for net defined benefit include:

(a) actuarial gains and losses;

b) the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the interest on plan assets included in the net interest component and (c) changes in the effect of the asset ceiling.

The liability (asset) for net defined benefit is the deficit or surplus, determined as the difference between the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Plan assets comprise the pension fund taken out by the Group with a third party that is not a related party. These assets are held by an entity legally separated from the Bank and exist solely to pay benefits to employees.

 

The Bank recognizes the present service cost and the net interest of the Personnel wages and expenses on the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

The post-employment benefits liability, recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, represents the deficit or surplus in the defined benefit plans of the Bank. Any surplus resulting from the calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions.

 

When employees leave the plan before meeting the requirements to be eligible for the benefit, contributions made by the Bank are reduced.

 

ii.Severance provision:

 

Severance provision for years of employment are recorded only when they actually occur or upon the availability of a formal and detailed plan in which the fundamental modifications to be made are identified, provided that such plan has already started to be implemented or its principal features have been publicly announced, or objective facts about its execution are known.

 

iii.Cash-settled share based compensation:

 

The allocation of equity instruments to executives of the Bank and its Subsidiaries as a form of compensation for their services, when those instruments are provided at the end of a specific period of employment, is recorded as an expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under the “Personnel expenses” item, as the relevant executives provide their services over the course of the period. The Bank pays the parent for the equity instruments granted to its employees. The cash obligation is determined at the grant date in an amount equal to the fair value of the liability with employees at that date. The Bank receives invoices from the parent on a bi-annual basis, creating a liabilty to the parent. At the end of each six-month period, a payment is made to settle this liabilty to the parent.

 

The Bank’s stock performance plan is accounted for as a cash-settled share-based payment in accordance with IFRS 2 “Share based payments”. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Monte Carlo model which represents the basis of the payment amount, and is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the plan. IFRS 2 requires that the fair value of the liability be remeasured at the end of each reporting period and that fair value changes attributable to rendered services to date be reflected in the statement of income. Changes to the fair value of the liability over the 3-year life of the plan were immaterial therefore the fair value remeasurement was not recorded. As a cash-settled share-based payment award, the offset of the journal entry to record the compensation expense is a liability for share-based payment awards.

 

z)Reclassification of items

 

Banco Santander Chile has reclassified some items in the Interim Financial Statements to provide relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information.

 

These reclassifications, which did not affect the Bank’s results, have no significant or material impact on the current Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

aa)Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

 

i.New and revised standards affecting amounts reported and/or disclosures in the financial statements

 

In the current year, the Bank has applied a number of new revised IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) as well as accounting standards as issued by the both the SBIF that are mandatory effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2014. These standards have been fully incorporate by the Bank and are detailed as follows:

 

1.Accounting Regulations Issued by the SBIF, effective in current year

 

As of September 30, 2014, there are no new accounting regulations issued by SBIF to be implemented.

2.New and revised IFRS standards effective in current year

 

Amendments to IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – On December 16, 2011, the amendments to IAS 32 clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off' and 'simultaneous realization and settlement'. Management does not anticipate that the application of these amendments to IAS 32 will have a significant impact on the Bank's consolidated financial statements as the Bank does not have any financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify for offset. The implementation of this amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

 

Investment entities – Amendments to IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 12 – Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 27 – Separated Financial Statements - On October 31, 2012, the IASB issued “Investment entities (amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27)”, providing an exception to the consolidation of subsidiaries under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements for entities that follow the definition of “investment entity”, as well as some investment funds. Instead, entities will measure their investments in subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

 

Amendments also require additional disclosure about whether the entity is considered an investment entity, details of non-consolidated subsidiaries, the nature of the relationship and certain transactions between the investment entity and its subsidiaries.. The amendments force an investment entity to account for its investment in a subsidiary in the same way in the consolidated financial statements and in its individual financial statements (or just provide individual financial statements if all subsidiaries are not consolidated). These modifications will be effective for yearly periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Early application is permitted. The implementation of this amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

 

IFRIC 21 - Levies – On May 20, 2013, IFRIC issued IFRIC 21 which provides guidance on accounting for the liability to pay a government imposed levy. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. This interpretation clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a government levy is the activity that triggers the payment of the levy as set out in the relevant legislation. An entity does not have a constructive obligation to pay a levy that will be triggered by operating in a future period. The implementation of this guidance had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

 

Amendment IAS 36, Impairment of the Assets – On May 29, 2013 the IASB issued Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets. The objective of this amendment is to harmonize the disclosure requirements about fair value without the disposal costs and value in use, when present value techniques are used to measure the recoverable amount of assets that are considered value impaired, requiring an entity to disclose the discount rates that have been used to determine the recoverable amount of assets that are considered value impaired. An entity shall apply these modifications retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted. An entity shall not apply these modifications to periods (including comparative periods) in which IFRS 13 is not applied. The implementation of this amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

 

Amendment IAS 39, Financial instruments: recognition and measurement – On June, 27, 2013 the IASB issued the amendment Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting, establishing that a derived contract novation with a central counterparty (clearing house) would generate a hedged interruption, derecognition of the original derivative and the recognition of the new derivative contract novated. While product novation laws or regulations do not qualify for derecognition and therefore hedge accounting will not be interrupted (if requirements are met). The effective date of application for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014, may be applied in advance. An entity shall apply the amendment retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors. The implementation of this amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

 

At the end date of these financial statements new IFRS had been published as well as interpretations of these regulations that were not mandatory as of September 30, 2014. Though in some cases, the IASB has allowed for their in-advance adoption, the Bank has not done so up to said date.

1. Accounting regulations issued by the SBIF

 

As of September 30, 2014 there are no new accounting regulations issued by SBIF to be implemented.

 

2.New and revised IFRS issued

 

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) – In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 which includes the completion of all phases of the project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ as discussed below.

Phase 1: Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. Financial assets are classified on the basis of the business model within which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics. The standard also introduces a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ measurement category for particular simple debt instruments. The requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged from IAS 39, however, the requirements relating to the fair value option for financial liabilities were changed to address own credit risk and, in particular, the presentation of gains and losses within other comprehensive income.

Phase 2: Impairment methodology. IFRS 9 fundamentally changes the impairment requirements relating to the accounting for an entity’s expected credit losses on its financial assets and commitments to extend credit. It is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. Instead, an entity always accounts for expected credit losses, and changes in those expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Phase 3: Hedge accounting. These requirements align hedge accounting more closely with risk management and establish a more principle-based approach to hedge accounting. Dynamic hedging of open portfolios is being dealt with as a separate project and until such time as that project is complete, entities can choose between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 or to continue to apply the existing hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39. The revised hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 are applied prospectively.

 

The effective date of IFRS 9 is 1 January 2018. For annual periods beginning before 1 January 2018, an entity may elect to early apply only the requirements for the presentation of gains and losses on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. The impact of the standard is currently being assessed. It is not yet practicable to quantify the effect of IFRS 9 on these consolidated financial statements. IFRS 9 will not apply to the Financial Statements of the Bank as expressly stated by the SBIF.

Amendment IAS 19 – Defined benefit plans: employee contributions – On November 21, 2013 the IASB issued these modifications establishing the treatment for employee or third party contributions when accounting for the defined benefit plans. Therefore, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, it allows an entity to recognize these contributions as a reduction in service costs in the period in which the related service is rendered, instead of attributing contributions to periods of service, and if the amount of the contribution depends on the number of years of service, an entity to attribute these contributions to periods of service is required, using the same method of allocation required by paragraph 70 of the IAS 19, for gross proceeds (that is, using the contribution plan formula or a linear basis). These modifications apply for annual periods starting as of July 1, 2014 retroactively, as stated by IAS 8 - Accounting policies changes in accounting estimates and errors. Earlier application permitted. The Bank’s management is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of these modifications.

 

Annual modifications, cycle 2010-2012 – On December 12, 2013 this document covering seven standards was issued:

 

- IFRS 2- Share-based Payments: It modifies the definition of 'concession consolidation condition (irrevocability)' y 'market conditions' and adds the definition of 'execution conditions' and ' service condition' (which was a part of the definition of the concession consolidation condition).
IFRS 3- Business Combinations: it states that the contingent considerations classified as assets or liabilities must be measure to fair value on each report date.
- IFRS 8- Operating Segments: it required that and entity reveals the judgments made by the administration regarding the implementations of the criteria for the operating segments aggregation and it states that the entity must only provide reconciliation between all the assets of the reportable segment and the entity's assets if the previous ones are reported regularly.
- IFRS 13- Fair value measurement: it states that the issuing of IFRS 13 and the modification of IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not eliminate the possibility of measuring the accounts receivable and pay in the short term those that lack an established interest rate on the invoice amount without discounting if the effect of such action is intangible.
- IAS 16- Property, plant and equipment: it states that when a property, plant and equipment element is revaluated, the gross carrying value is adjusted consistently with the revaluation of the carrying value.
- IAS 24- Related party disclosures: it states that an entity providing administration personnel services key to the informing entity or to the parent of the reporting entity, this is a related party of the reporting entity.
- IAS 38- Intangibles: it states that when an intangible element is revaluated, the gross carrying value is adjusted consistently with the revaluation of the carrying value.

 

IFRS annual modifications, 2010-2012 cycle, must be implemented for annual periods starting on or after July 1, 2014. Early application is permitted. The Bank’s management is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of these modifications.

 

Annual modifications, cycle 2011-2013 – On December 12, 2013 this document covering four standards was issued:

 

- IFRS 1- First-time Adoption: It states that an entity, on its first financial statements under IFRS, has the possibility of choosing between applying an existing and currently effective IFRS, and applying a new or revised IFRS which is not currently mandatory, provided earlier application is permitted. It is required that the entity applies the same version of the IFRS throughout the periods covered by the first financial statements according to IFRS.
- IFRS 3- Business Combinations: It states that the IFRS 3 excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint agreement on the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.
- IFRS 13- Fair Value Measurement: It states that the scope of the exception of portfolio defined in paragraph 52 of IFRS 13, includes all contracts included under the scope of 'IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement' and 'IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments', regardless of whether they conform to the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities as set out in 'IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation'.
- IAS 40- Investment Property: It states that if a certain transaction complies with the definition of a business combination -as defined by IFRS 3 -Business Combinations- and of investment properties -as defined by IAS 40 Investment Property-, it needs to implement both norms independently and separately.

 

IFRS annual modifications, 2011-2013 cycle, must be implemented for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Earlier application permitted. The Bank’s management is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of these modifications.

IFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts – On January 1, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 14 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts”, which, specify the financial reporting requirements for regulatory deferral account balances that arise when an entity provides goods or services to customers at price or rate that is subject to rate regulation. This standard requires:

 

-limited changes to accounting policies that were applied in accordance with its previous GAAP for regulatory deferral account balances;
-disclosure that were identify and explain the amounts recognized in the entity`s financial statements that arise from rate regulation;
-disclosure that help users of the financial statements to understand the amounts, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows from any regulatory deferral accounts balances that are recognized.

 

This standard is effective to first-time adopters IFRS for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Bank’s management is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of these modifications.

 

IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” (“IFRS 15”) In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15. The effective date of IFRS 15 is 1 January 2017. The standard establishes the principles that shall be applied in connection with revenue from contracts with customers including the core principle that the recognition of revenue must depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the entitlement to consideration in exchange for those good and services. IFRS 15 applies to all contracts with customers but does not apply to lease contracts, insurance contracts, financial instruments and certain non-monetary exchanges. Whilst it is expected that a significant proportion of the Bank revenue will be outside the scope of IFRS 15, the impact of the standard is currently being assessed. It is not yet practicable to quantify the effect the effect of IFRS 15 on these consolidated financial statements.

. The Bank’s management is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this standard.

 

IAS 27: Separate Financial Statements – In August 2014, the IASB issued the amendment “Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements”. This amendment adds the equity method, as per IAS 28, to the allowable accounting methods that a subsidiary, joint venture or associate can be recorded at when producing separate financial statements.

 

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Earlier application is permitted but this will require a disclosure. The Bank’s management has evaluated the impact of this standard and has determined that it will not have significant effects.

 

Ammendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture - In September 2014, the IASB issued this amendment. This clarifies that a business is to be defined by IFRS 3 and states the correct accounting treatment when business and non business subsidiaries are sold, such that the entity (and its remaining subsidiaries) loses control of the subsidiary, to a joint venture or associate for the consolidated financial statements.

 

If control of a sold subsidiary is lost, a full gain or loss on the sale should be recognized in the income statement and all previously recognized gains in other comprehensive income should be reclassified. Partial gain or loss recognition for transactions between an investor and its associate or joint venture only apply to the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that do not constitute a business.

 

This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Earlier application permitted but would require disclosure. The Bank’s management is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this standard.

NOTE 02

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

 

As of September 30, 2014, the following significant events have occurred and affected the Bank`s operations and Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

a) The Board

 

In the Ordinary Board Meeting of Banco Santander Chile held on April 21, 2014, the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Mauricio Larraín Garcés, presented his resignation. In this session, Mr. Vittorio Corbo Lioi was designated as Chairman with Mr. Mauricio Larraín Garcés continuing to form part of the Board of Directors as a Director.

 

On September 3, 2014 the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions was informed of the resignation of Carlos Olivos Marchant, who served as director. The President proposed that the Director Marco Colodro Hadjes replace Carlos Olivos as a member and chairman of the Audit Committee of Directors. This was approved unanimously by those present.

 

In the Ordinary Board Meeting dated September 23, 2014 the Board appointed Orlando Poblete Iturrate as the new director who until then had served as Alternate Director, therefore his previous position became vacant.

 

Use of Profits and Distribution of Dividends

 

In the Shareholders’ Meeting of Banco Santander Chile held on April 22, 2014, chaired by Mr. Vittorio Corbo Lioi (Chairman), and attended by Oscar von Chrismar Carvajal (First Vice President), Roberto Méndez Torres (Second Vice President), Víctor Arbulú Crousillat, the Directors: Marco Colodro Hadjes, Mauricio Larraín Garcés, Carlos Olivos Marchant, Lucía Santa Cruz Sutil, Juan Pedro Santa María Pérez, Lisandro Serrano Spoerer, Roberto Zahler Mayanz, Raimundo Monge Zegers (Alternate Director) and Orlando Poblete Iturrate (Alternate Director). Also, the CEO Claudio Melandri Hinojosa and CAO Felipe Contreras Fajardo attended the meeting.

 

According to the information presented in aforementioned meeting, 2013 net income (designated in the financial statements as “Income attributable to equity holders of the Bank”) amounted to Ch$441,926 million. The Board approved the distribution of 60% of such net income, yielding a Ch$1.407 dividend per share, payable starting on April 23, 2014. Also, it was approved that the remaining 40% of the profits will be retained in the Bank’s reserves.

 

b) Taxation Reforms

 

On September 29, 2014 Law No. 20,780 was published in the Official Journal. This law amended the Chilean tax system, including Income Tax, Stamp Duty and Taxation Codes. Regarding the Income Tax Law, the key changes are:

 

·Each company must formally elect to join a tax scheme. There are two alternative tax schemes under this law. The deadline for such election is the second half of 2016.

 

·The schemes are:

 

Attributed system, reaching a tax rate of 25% in 2017. This system involves payment of taxes independent of withdrawals or distributions of profits.

Semi-Integrated System, reaching a tax rate of 27% in 2018. This system involves payment of taxes on the withdrawal or distribution of profits to shareholders. The corporate income tax paid on the profits distributed is creditable against the final taxes. Profits distributed are subject to withholding income tax of 35%, except for non-residents of Chile where a double taxation agreement exists between Chile and the foreign entity’s country of residence.

 

·The current rate of 20% is changed to 21% for the year 2014, to 22.5% in 2015, 24% in 2016 and 25% in 2017. If the semi-integrated system is chosen the rate for 2017 will be 25.5% eventually reaching 27% in 2018.

 

The Bank has estimated the effect of the tax reform using the Semi-Integrated System. A decision has not yet been subject to discussion by the Bank's shareholders. The estimated net effect of this reform is Ch$35,411 million, this has been recorded at September 30, 2014 in "Income taxes" in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. This Ch$35,411 million consists of a higher tax of Ch$3,175 million for the current tax year and a lesser deferred tax expense of Ch$38,586 million (temporary asset differences).

The segments’ accounting policies are those described in the summary of accounting policies. The Bank earns most of its income in the form of interest income, fee and commission income and income from financial operations. To evaluate a segment’s financial performance and make decisions regarding the resources to be assigned to segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) bases his assessment on the segment's interest income, fee and commission income, and expenses.

Cash flow hedges

 

The Bank uses cross currency swaps to hedge the risk from variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the interest rates of bonds and interbank loans at a variable rate. To cover the inflation risk in some items, both forwards as well as currency swaps are used.

 

Below is the notional amount of the hedged items as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the period when the cash flows will be generated:

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING, continued

 

Since the inflows and outflows for both the hedged element and the hedging instrument mirror each other, the hedges are nearly 100% effective, which means that the fluctuations of fair value attributable to risk components are almost completely offset. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, Ch$771 million and Ch$69 million respectively, were recognized in income.

 

During the year, the Bank did not have any cash flow hedges of forecast transactions.

NOTE 20

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (BASEL)

 

In accordance with Chilean General Banking Law, the Bank must maintain a minimum ratio of effective equity to risk-weighted consolidated assets of 8% net of required allowances, and a minimum ratio of basic equity to consolidated total assets of 3%, net of required allowances. However, as a result of the Bank’s merger in 2002, the SBIF has determined that the Bank’s combined effective equity cannot be lower than 11% of its risk-weighted assets. Effective net equity is defined for these purposes as basic equity (capital and reserves) plus subordinated bonds, up to a maximum of 50% of basic equity.

 

Assets are allocated to different risk categories, each of which is assigned a weighting percentage according to the amount of capital required to be held for each type of asset. For example, cash, deposits in banks and financial instruments issued by the Central Bank of Chile have a 0% risk weighting, meaning that it is not necessary to hold equity to back these assets according to current regulations. Property, plant and equipment have a 100% risk weighting, meaning that a minimum capital equivalent to 11% of these assets must be held. All derivatives traded off the exchanges are also assigned a risk weighting, using a conversion factor applied to their notional values, to determine the amount of their exposure to credit risk. Off-balance-sheet contingent credits are also included for weighting purposes, as “Credit equivalents.”

 

According to Chapter 12-1 of the SBIF’s Recopilación Actualizada de Normas [Updated Compilation of Rules] effective January 2010, the SBIF changed existing regulation with the enforcement of Chapter B-3 from the Compendium of Accounting Standards, with changed the risk exposure of contingent allocations from 100% exposition to the following:

 

Type of contingent loan  Exposure 
     
a) Pledges and other commercial commitments   100%
b) Foreign letters of credit confirmed   20%
c) Letters of credit issued   20%
d) Guarantees   50%
e) Interbank guarantee letters   100%
f) Available lines of credit   50%
g) Other loan commitments:     
- Higher education loans Law No. 20,027   15%
- Other   100%
h) Other contingent loans   100%

(*) The Bank, in its strategic objectives, initiated a plan to transform its business and operating model with a focus on the client. Therefore, there has arisen a number of new requirements for the Bank to adapt to changing customer demands and establish new ways to interact with them. This change in strategy resulted in a number of applications that are in use or in development that needed to be tested for impairment. Following the testing, in accordance with IAS 36 the Bank has recognized an impairment of Ch$36,557 million.

NOTE 31

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

In addition to Affiliates and associated entities, the Bank’s “related parties” include its “key personnel” from the executive staff (members of the Bank’s Board and the Managers of Banco Santander Chile and its Affiliates, together with their close relatives), as well as the entities over which the key personnel could exercise significant influence or control.

 

The Bank also considers the companies that are part of the Santander Group worldwide as related parties, given that all of them have a common parent, i.e., Banco Santander S.A. (located in Spain).

 

Article 89 of the Ley de Sociedades Anónimas (Public Companies Act), which is also applicable to banks, states that any transaction with a related party must be made under equitable conditions similar to those that customarily prevail in the market.

 

Article 84 of the Ley General de Bancos (General Banking Act) establishes limits for loans that can be granted to related parties and prohibits lending to the Bank’s directors, managers, or representatives.

 

Transactions between the Bank and its related parties are specified below and have been divided into four categories:

 

Santander Group Companies

 

This category includes all the companies that are controlled by the Santander Group around the world, and hence, including the companies over which the Bank exercises any degree of control (Affiliates and special-purpose entities).

 

Associated companies

 

This category includes the entities over which the Bank, in accordance with section b) of Note 1 to these Financial Statements, exercises a significant degree of influence and which generally belong to the group of entities known as “business support companies.”

 

Key personnel

 

This category includes members of the Bank’s Board and the managers of Banco Santander Chile and its Affiliates, together with their close relatives.

 

Other

 

This category encompasses the related parties that are not included in the groups identified above and which are, in general, entities over which the key personnel could exercise significant influence or control.

 

The terms for transactions with related parties are equivalent to those which prevail in transactions made under market conditions or to which the corresponding considerations in kind have been attributed.

NOTE 32

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The measurement of fair value assumes the transaction to sale and asset or the transference of the liability happens within the main asset or liability market, or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

For financial instruments with no available market prices, fair values have been estimated by using recent transactions in analogous instruments, and in the absence thereof, the present values or other valuation techniques based on mathematical valuation models sufficiently accepted by the international financial community. In the use of these models, consideration is given to the specific particularities of the asset or liability to be valued, and especially to the different kinds of risks associated with the asset or liability.

 

These techniques are inherently subjective and are significantly influenced by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, the estimates of future cash flows and prepayment expectations. Hence, the fair value estimated for an asset or liability may not coincide exactly with the price at which that asset or liability could be delivered or settled on the date of its valuation, and may not be justified in comparison with independent markets.

 

Determination of fair value of financial instruments

 

Below is a comparison between the value at which the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities are recorded and their fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Obligations under repurchase agreements   289,095    289,095    208,972    208,972 
Financial derivative contracts   2,424,666    2,424,666    1,300,109    1,300,109 
Issued debt instruments and other financial liabilities   5,794,980    6,240,616    5,388,439    5,729,213 

 

In addition, the fair value estimates presented above do not attempt to estimate the value of the Bank’s profits generated by its business activity, nor its future activities, and accordingly, they do not represent the Bank’s value as a going concern. Below is a detail of the methods used to estimate the financial instruments’ fair value.

 

a)Cash and deposits in banks

 

The recorded value of cash and interbank loans approximates its estimated fair value in view of these instruments’ short-term nature.

 

b)Unsettled transactions, trading instruments, available for sale investment instruments, resale agreements, and securities loans

 

The estimated fair value of these financial instruments was established using market values or estimates from an available dealer, or quoted market prices of similar financial instruments. Investments with maturity in less than one year are evaluated at recorded value since, due to their short maturity term, they are considered as having a fair value not significantly different from their recorded value. To estimate the fair value of debt investments or representative values in these lines of businesses, we take into consideration additional variables and elements, as long as they apply, including the estimate of prepayment rates and credit risk of issuers.

NOTE 32

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, continued

 

c)Loans and accounts receivable from customers and interbank loans

 

Fair value of commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and credit cards is measured through a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. To do so, we use current market interest rates considering product, term, amount and similar loan quality. Fair value of loans with 90 days or more of delinquency are measured by means of the market value of the associated guarantee, minus the rate and term of expected payment. For variable rate loans whose interest rates change frequently (monthly or quarterly) and that are not subjected to any significant credit risk change, the estimated fair value is based on their book value.

 

d)Deposits

 

Disclosed fair value of deposits that do not bear interest and saving accounts is the amount payable at the reporting date and, therefore, equals the recorded amount. Fair value of time deposits is calculated through a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates from a monthly calendar of scheduled maturities in the market.

 

e)Short and long term issued debt instruments

 

The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated by using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans having similar maturities.

 

f)Financial derivative contracts

 

The estimated fair value of financial derivative contracts is calculated using the prices quoted on the market for financial instruments having similar characteristics.

 

The fair value of interest rate swaps represents the estimated amount that the Bank expects to receive or pay to rescind the contracts or agreements, bearing in mind the term structures of the interest rate curve, the underlying asset’s volatility, and the counterparty’s credit risk.

 

If there are no quoted prices from the market (either direct or indirect) for any derivative instrument, the respective fair value estimates have been calculated by using models and valuation techniques such as Black-Scholes, Hull, and Monte Carlo simulations, taking into consideration the relevant inputs/outputs such as volatility of options, observable correlations between underlying assets, counterparty credit risk, implicit price volatility, the velocity with which the volatility reverts to its average value, and the straight-line relationship (correlation) between the value of a market variable and its volatility, among others.

 

Measurement of fair value and hierarchy

 

IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement, provides a hierarchy of reasonable values which separates the inputs and/or valuation technique assumptions used to measure the fair value of financial instruments. The hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy of fair values are the following:

 

· Level 1: the inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Bank can access on the measurement date.

 

· Level 2: inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

· Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability i.e. they are not based on observable market data.

 

The hierarchy level within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The best evidence of a financial instrument’s fair value at the initial time is the transaction price (Level 1).

In cases where quoted market prices cannot be observed, Management makes its best estimate of the price that the market would set using its own internal models which in most cases use data based on observable market parameters as a significant input (Level 2) and, in very specific cases, significant inputs not observable in market data (Level 3). Various techniques are employed to make these estimates, including the extrapolation of observable market data.

Financial instruments at fair value and determined by quotations published in active markets (Level 1) include:

 

-Chilean Government and Department of Treasury bonds

 

Instruments which cannot be 100% observable in the market are valued according to other inputs observable in the market (Level 2).

 

The following financial instruments are classified under Level 2:

 

Type of

  Model
used in valuation
  Description
       
ž Mortgage and private bonds   Present Value of Cash Flows Model  Internal Rates of Return (“IRRs”) are provided by RiskAmerica, according to the following criterion:
If, at the valuation day, there are one or more valid transactions at the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given nemotechnic, the reported rate is the weighted average amount of the observed rates.
In the case there are no valid transactions for a given nemotechnic on the valuation day, the reported rate is the IRR base from a reference structure, plus a spread model based on historical spread for the same item or similar ones.
       
ž Time deposits  Present Value of Cash Flows Model  IRRs are provided by RiskAmerica, according to the following criterion:
If, at the valuation day, there are one or more valid transactions at the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given nemotechnic, the reported rate is the weighted average amount of the observed rates.
In the case there are no valid transactions for a given nemotechnic on the valuation day, the reported rate is the IRR base from a reference structure, plus a spread model based on issuer curves.
       
ž Constant Maturity Swaps (CMS), FX and Inflation Forward (Fwd) , Cross Currency Swaps (CCS), Interest Rate Swap (IRS)  Present Value of Cash Flows Model  IRRs are provided by ICAP, GFI, Tradition, and Bloomberg according to this criterion:
With published market prices, a valuation curve is created by the bootstrapping method and is then used to value different derivative instruments.
       
ž FX Options  Black-Scholes  Formula adjusted by the volatility smile (implicit volatility). Prices (volatility) are provided by BGC Partners, according to this criterion:
With published market prices, a volatility surface is created by interpolation and then these volatilities are used to value options.

 

In limited occasions significant inputs not observable in market data are used (Level 3). To carry out this estimate, several techniques are used, including extrapolation of observable market data or a mix of observable data.

 

The following financial instruments are classified under Level 3:

 

Type of
financial instrument
  Model
used in valuation
  Description
ž Caps/ Floors/ Swaptions   Black Normal Model for Cap/Floors and Swaptions  There is no observable input of implicit volatility.
ž UF options  Black – Scholes  There is no observable input of implicit volatility.
ž Cross currency swap with window  Hull-White  Hybrid HW model for rates and Brownian motion for FX. There is no observable input of implicit volatility.
ž CCS (special contracts)  Implicit Forward Rate Agreement (FRA)  Start Fwd unsupported by MUREX (platform) due to the UF forward estimate.
ž Cross currency swap, Interest rate swap, Call money swap in Tasa Activa Bancaria (Active Bank Rate) TAB,  Present Value of Cash Flows Model  Validation obtained by using the interest curve and interpolating at flow maturities, but TAB is not a directly observable variable and is not correlated to any market input.
ž Bonds (in our case, low liquidity bonds)  Present Value of Cash Flows Model  Valued by using similar instrument prices plus a charge-off rate by liquidity.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 32

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, continued

 

The realized and unrealized profits (losses) included in comprehensive income for 2014 and 2013, in the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurrent basis through unobservable market data (Level 3) are recorded in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income in the associate line item.

 

The potential effect as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 on the valuation of assets and liabilities valued at fair value on a recurrent basis through unobservable significant entries (Level 3), generated by changes in the principal assumptions if other reasonably possible assumptions that are less or more favorable were used, is not considered by the Bank to be significant.
