Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you clarify the impact of the BRL35 billion Regulariza Agro program on your capital and prudential adjustments? A: Your understanding is correct. The BRL35 billion in Regulariza Agro reflects our clients' willingness to resolve debts. This program has positively impacted our capital by relieving prudential adjustments, stabilizing NPLs, and supporting growth in agribusiness and individual segments. (Marco Geovanne Tobias da Silva, CFO)
Q: How does the guidance for net interest income (NII) reflect the expected trends in client and market NII? A: The focus will be on client margin growth, driven by increased loans to individuals and reduced funding costs. The expected Selic rate reduction will benefit our funding costs, supporting NII growth. We anticipate a 15-20% net profit growth, with client NII being a key contributor. (Marco Geovanne Tobias da Silva, CFO)
Q: What measures are in place to manage the risk of renegotiated agribusiness credits potentially deteriorating in 2027? A: We are closely monitoring these credits, ensuring clients pay interest during the grace period. We only renegotiated with clients showing repayment capacity, maintaining elevated NPLs for those without. Our strategy includes ongoing client engagement and risk management to support repayment capacity. (Tarciana Paula Gomes Medeiros, CEO)
Q: How do you foresee the evolution of NPLs and provisions in 2026, especially in the agribusiness portfolio? A: We expect NPLs to stabilize, particularly in agribusiness, as the 2025-2026 crop cycle progresses. The measures implemented, including better guarantees and client engagement, should lead to improved risk levels by the second half of 2026. (Felipe Prince, CRO)
Q: Can you explain the impact of the new regulatory requirements on your capital ratio? A: The restructuring program with rural producers provides a temporary capital benefit, expected to decline over time. However, we anticipate maintaining a comfortable capital ratio through profit generation and strategic loan replacements, ensuring sustainable growth. (Marco Geovanne Tobias da Silva, CFO)
