HOLDING TRUE TO OUR VALUES

In a world of divergent
economic prospects
among countries, the
Philippines stands out
with a strong trajectory.
BPI possesses all the
businesses needed to
exploit growth in the
Philippine economy.

Dear Shareholders:
The Bank of the Philippine Islands celebrated its 163rd anniversary last year. As we cross the threshold
into a new year, we are proud of the fact that we remain true to the values that have defined us
since our founding in 1851. We are committed to our clients and our team of unibankers remain
focused on one simple goal: Helping clients achieve their financial aspirations. More importantly
for shareholders, we continue to build on our tradition of strong corporate governance as our way
of keeping the foundation of our business strong. We also remain committed to delivering robust
financial performance by working hand in hand with a seasoned management teamone that
delivers superior profitability while taking prudent risks.
Financial Performance
We have set a series of high benchmarks for quality of earnings, cost efficiency, and profitability. Last
year, BPI recorded both net income and total comprehensive income of P18.0 billion, achieving a
return on assets of 1.44 percent and a return on equity of 13.75 percent. Our cost-to-income ratio
closed the year at 53.70 percent. We are also the only major Philippine bank that pays dividends on a
regular basis. For 2014, we received Bangko Sentral approval to pay P7.08 billion in total dividends,
an annual payout ratio of 39.2 percent. Our ability to consistently return capital to shareholders,
while adhering to regulatory requirements on risk and capitalization, speaks to the strength of our
culture of fiduciary prudence.
Our clients entrusted us with record business volumes in 2014. Total assets, loans, and deposits
ended the year at all-time highs of P1.4 trillion, P800 billion, and P1.2 trillion, respectively.
Loans and deposits grew 27 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Assets managed by our trust and
investment teams grew 7.0 percent, ending the year at P619 billion. In our capital markets business,
BPI originated and distributed record levels of equities and bonds. As reported by Bloomberg, we
ranked No. 1 in equities for the first time, managing more than P25 billion in offerings; in bonds,
we placed third, managing more than P41 billion in volume.
The quality of our balance sheet remains strong and our credit ratings are equal to that of the
Philippine government, as published by both Moodys and Fitch Ratings. Our non-performing loans
increased by far less than the growth of our loan book. As a result, our ratio of NPLs to loans fell to
1.52 percent (90-day). Despite this, we continue to build our loan loss reserves. At the end of last
year, our reserve-to-NPL ratio reached 109.3 percent, a new high for BPI. Furthermore, this ratio
assigns no value to collateral which, we believe, has substantial intrinsic value. We continue to see
opportunities to grow our core loan business while maintaining our strong credit quality, especially
as the Philippine economy continues to expand.
We thank you for supporting our highly successful rights issue, which concluded in February
2014. More than 99 percent of our stockholders subscribed to this issue, which raised P25 billion,
the largest financial transaction in our companys history. This, combined with our significant
earnings power, translated to some of the strongest capital ratiosand most straightforward capital
structuresamong Philippine banks. Our ratios for CAR and CET1 ended 2014 at 14.8 percent
and 14.0 percent, respectively.
Growth and Leadership
We are very excited to reflect on where BPI stands today. In a volatile global economic environment
that has increasingly seen countries decouple in economic terms, it has been comforting to see the
Philippines enjoy a strong trajectory in domestic demand, driven by private spending and positive
business and consumer sentiment. Furthermore, inflation remains benign and comfortably within
the Bangko Sentrals target range. As it grows, our economy is also becoming increasingly inclusive. At

2014 Annual Report

Message from the Chairman


and the President & CEO
BPI, we have grown our customer base to 7 million; and if we include our microfinance finance efforts
at BPI Globe BanKO, it expands to 8 million. We seek to contribute to our national development
agenda of inclusive growth as we engage a larger segment of our potential customer base.
We believe that BPI has the products and services needed to take full advantage of the growth in
the Philippine economy. We are diversified and have scale across a broad range of deposit, payment,
credit, capital markets, bancassurance, and asset management services. We have sophisticated, well
developed channels that connect us to our clients. In 2014, we reinforced our leasing business by
concluding a strategic partnership with Century Tokyo Leasing one of Japans most successful asset
finance companies. Century Tokyo offers BPI an opportunity to broaden its product offerings through
new financial technologies, as well as unique connectivity to Japanese equipment manufacturers. We
also announced a partnership with Global Payments, a NYSE-listed company that manages one of
the worlds largest merchant acquiring networks. By combining our point-of-sales terminals with
theirs, our service offerings for BPI card customers will expand significantly.

10

In December 2014, we took steps to further sharpen the focus of our organization. To complement
our legacy product teams, we added new teams charged with the sole purpose of strengthening our
dialogue with clients at even deeper levels. This initiative is the essence of One BPI. If we are to
continue multiplying the products used by each customer, we must first understand, at a deeper level,
their financial objectives. And as our customers definition of financial success evolves over time,
our client and product bankers must likewise adjust and be ready to address these needs. The ability
to cross-sell products is a common objective among banks. Many fail at this task. To do it well
requires a talented, dedicated management team that communicates effectively and works together
to do many things right. At BPI, we have already experienced some success at cross-selling, but we
want to do much more.
Regulation
BPI is in the business of building trust. Good governance and compliance are the very bedrock of
trust. The year 2014 saw the onset of Basel III capital standards in Philippine banking, and a variety
of Bangko Sentral initiatives to stem the risk of imbalances in property prices, promote sound credit
practices, and enhance protection for consumers. We have taken a proactive stance in engaging our
Bangko Sentral and contributing to policies that improve our banking system and build confidence
with our public. Consistent with this stance, we have increased the resources devoted to our
Compliance, Risk Management and Internal Audit functions. We believe that these functions at
BPI have always set the standard to which many in our industry aspire. The continued protection
of the reputation and financial well-being of BPI, its clients, and its shareholders remains one of our
paramount objectives.
The BPI Family, Our Future
We are both very proud of BPIs accomplishments in 2014, and remain excited by what we see in our
collective future. Our firm has embarked on an exciting new chapter in its 163-year history, Making
the Best Happen for clients in ways we have not done before. Our successes are the result of the
hard work, commitment, and deep sense of belonging that is the hallmark of our 14,542 unibankers.
We are grateful to our whole team at BPI, both at home and abroad, for their commitment to our
goals. We remain grateful, also, to our diverse and experienced board of directors. Their individual
and collective wisdom has provided valuable guidance and their regular engagement across a number
of committees has kept our governance strong. Finally, we remain grateful to all our stockholders for
their engagement and trust as we continue to build for the future.
Yours sincerely,

Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala

Our Clients
THE YEAR 2014 was one of deepening
relationships with all our clients, truly
striving to Make the Best Happen for
each one of them.
These are some of their stories.

Jina Juson

Irene and Edmund Felix


Homeowners

Franchise business owner


Ystilo Salon
Jina Juson was working a 9-to-5 job in a Makati-based firm,
and by all indications seemed set on a career in the corporate
world. And then her family started to grow. That was when
she realized that her monthly paycheck was not going to be
enough anymore.

Irene and Edmund Felix saved up for their first home


for five months. Our first night as a married couple was
spent in that house, Edmund says.
An account manager for a logistics company, Edmund
says that the two-bedroom affair served them well until
the family started to grow. The children were getting
bigger, and so we realized we needed more space where
each of my sons could get a room to himself.

14

The couple then acquired a lot in a subdivision in


Bian, Laguna, but they had not secured the funds to
build the house. They went to a number of banks, in
search of an affordable housing loan. BPI, in fact, was
the last bank we visited, Edmund recalls. It was the first
place, however, where the couple found what they were
looking for.

Raised by a mother who always had her hand in business,


Jina took a pivot and embarked on starting a business
herself. Her mother used to run a salon, so it wasnt strange
that Jina thought she had a shot in the very same business.
Having chosen her business location, a mall in Alabang,
Muntinlupa, Jina now had to find the right salon brand.
Ystilo, which owns and operates a chain of salons, was a
suitable option. One of its owners was actress-entrepreneur
Vina Morales, a person that Jina respected.

Irene and Edmund Felix

Those who talked to us were really very accommodating.


That is in fact one of the things I like about BPI, staff
who really seek to engage us, Edmund says.
They dont offer cut-and-dried solutions. The bank
formulates a solution just for you, in order to answer the
needs of their clients.

Irene and I are now open to


the idea of having a business
in the near future. We believe
BPI could help us raise the
funds to finance this next
phase in our lives.

With that initial loan, the Felix couple was able to


complete their 161 sq m family home for their growing
family. They have also taken out another loan with the
bank, in order to buy their first family car. We believe that
our good standing as housing loan clients made the car
application faster, says Edmund.
He adds, I really like banking with BPI because of its
auto-debit arrangement. They just deduct my monthly
amortization from my savings account. We dont have to go
to a branch every month to make the payments.
Edmund hopes that the relationship with BPI would bear
fruit once more. He says: Irene and I are now open to having
a business in the near future. We believe BPI could help us
raise the funds to finance this next phase in our lives.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

Jina Juson
Taking a leap of faith, Jina opened the first Ystilo branch in
Alabang. Though Ystilo had a strong following, Jina knew she
was taking a calculated risk. During the branchs first years,
money was always an issueJina had to deal with burgeoning
operating costs in a low-sales environment, but she left nothing
to chance. She went through the books with a fine-tooth
comb, made sure her team always delivered quality service, and
ensured that each client enjoyed their time at the salon.

Since my first loan with BPI,


Ive had several car loans and
a housing loan, and Ive been
really happy with the terms
offered me. BPI really supports
me in achieving my dreams for
my family.

Jinas hard work paid offher salon enjoyed good business,


such that Morales asked her if she wanted to open another
branch, the first Ystilo in Calamba, Laguna. Jina readily
agreed. BPI Family Bank was an important partner to
Jina. Its Ka-Negosyo loan, targeted at the needs of sole
proprietors, was a unique source of growth capital.
With P5 million in loans, Jina was able to manage the
Calamba branchs finances efficiently, even during its early
days, with as yet no customer base to speak of. In just three
years, and with a lot of hard work, Jina was able to pay off
the loan.
Jinas journey as a businessperson doesnt stop there
with the earnings of her salon, shes been able to put up a
restaurant to support the fledgling culinary careers of two of
her children. They are, after all, the reason Jina decided to go
into business herself.

Grant Lim

Maria Socorro Oca

Proprietor
Home Studio

Chairperson
GOLD Foundation

Grant Lim, the man behind Home Studio, wasnt always the
guy who catered to homeowners who needed Italian tiles.

16

Thirty-four kilometers south of Metro Manila, in an


unassuming part of Cavite province, is a village developed
and built especially for Filipino seafarers and their families.

A marketing major with an interest in architecture, Grant


worked in one of the countrys biggest conglomerates. His
stint in the corporate world allowed him to analyze customer
preferences, read financial reports, and apply strategic
thinking. All these would prove useful when he later set up his
own business. And a peso term loan with BPI reinforced the
power of his ideas.

Built in 1991, Seamens Village is a 19-hectare mediumcost subdivision with ample grounds and impressive
recreational facilities. Located in Dasmarias, Cavite,
the village is a landmark project of AMOSUP, or the
Associated Marine Officers and Seamens Union of the
Philippines, founded in 1960 by Dr. Conrado F. Oca.

In the late 1990s, Grants mother asked his help to renovate a


condominium unit. Looking for tiles and fixtures, he couldnt
help but be disappointed with what was available in the
market. Then he realized, he could start a business by filling in
the demand of homeowners and renovators like himself.

The Seamens Village is designed as a community of


900 houses, some 400 of which have been awarded to
members of AMOSUP. It is not surprising that this
village, inspired by the ideals of Oca, is now at the center
of a landmark study.

First, he set up a 30 sq m store in their Mandaluyong City


residence. It wasnt exactly easyhe had no track record to
begin with, his space was too small, he hadnt learned the
intricacies of importing and dealing with customs agencies,
and he only had himself to count on.
Eventually, he found a bigger place for his growing
businessa 200 sq m space in the Greenhills shopping district

I have big dreams, an


ambitious vision, and I am
just starting. I am sure BPI
will be helpful when I will
require more financial help in
achieving that vision.

Grant Lim

in San Juan, available for P3 million. Grant knew it would


not be easy to find such an ideal location in the future, and so
he took it. It was during the Asian crisis, so it seemed like a
gamble, he says. But the opportunity was there, and so I told
myself, subukan mo lang [just try it out].
He turned to BPI to help him acquire the property that
would house his dream showroom. Grant had been aspiring
to expand his business, and offer more than tiles. He wanted
to transform his store into a home design hub that offered
unique and high quality finishing and furnishing needs. The
loan that he got from BPI, Grant affirms, was the major kickoff in growing Home Studio.
At first, we were really small, but when we decided to expand
it, BPI was there to help us. BPI has proved to be a great
partnerthe bank personnel working with me understood
my needs and responded accordingly, he says.
It took two years for Grant to finish the Home Studio
showroom, which now stands proudly on Connecticut Street
in Greenhills, San Juan with an expanded offering of tiles,
mattresses, furniture, fittings and accessories.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

The study, to be carried out by the Gregorio Oca


Leadership & Development (GOLD) Foundation and
the BPI Foundation, will look into the financial needs
of overseas Filipino seafarers, who typically earn aboveaverage salaries. The study will generate and make use of
information and other inputs from the residents of
the village.

We are an aspirational
country, but lack in
meaningful support to realize
timeless motivations. This study
funded by BPI Foundation is
a small yet important step in
supporting them.

Maria Socorro Oca

Apart from mapping out spending habits of seafarers


and their families, the study will attempt to build a
deep understanding of their aspirations and values. In
the process, the study will help seafarers acquire more
information and the discipline to preserve and grow their
wealth.
The project will go a long way towards informing and
educating seafarers and their families in proper wealth
management, says Maria Socorro Oca, chair of GOLD
Foundation and Dr. Ocas daughter.
GOLD is all about building on the successes of
AMOSUP, and by embarking on this endeavor, in
partnership with the BPI Foundation, we hope to further
equip seafarers and their families with the means to
become financially fit and build productive lives.

BPI and I have a similar


vision of creating an
enabling environment
for SMEs, encouraging
more wealth-creation
activities.

Openness and flexibility are the


reasons we keep banking with BPI.
This means our partnership with BPI
will grow bigger, better, and stronger.

Glacier Refrigerated Services
18

Helping to fight climate change has become an imperative


for many enterprises, but programs specifically designed to
reduce their carbon footprint are not too common. Glacier
Refrigerated Services has found such a program in BPIs
Sustainable Energy Finance.
Glacier Refrigerated Services owns and operates hugecapacity, high-performance cold storage facilities in Metro
Manila and in the provinces of Iloilo, Bicol, Davao,
Palawan, Pangasinan, and South Cotabato. Its cold chain
infrastructure has addressed low-profit margins of primary
producers. Food manufacturers, traders, and processors rely
on Glaciers competitive services.
Glacier has shifted from a cooling system that used
ozone-depleting refrigerants to a newer, environmentfriendly, and more efficient system for its cold storage
facilities. It installed energy-efficient compressors that
prevent power losses, evaporative condensers that optimize
current flow and wall insulation to help maintain
temperatures. It has also started using Freon 507, a green
refrigerantrefrigerants used traditionally by industry,
like chlorofluorocarbon and hydrochlorofluorocarbon have
been directly linked to the destruction of the earths ozone
layer, which shields the planet from ultraviolet radiation.
Glacier is now expanding this system, initially
implemented in its Taguig City facility, to achieve the
same results in other locations in the country. It is during

this expansion phase that Glacier turned to BPI,a bank


that has the same lofty goals that we have, remarks Arturo
Yan, Glacier President and CEO.
Glacier tapped BPIs Sustainable Energy Finance program
to fund its environment-responsible projects. Glacier is also
installing solar panels on its facilities rooftops, to cut its
reliance on electricity from fossil fuels.
Started in 2008, the SEF program is conducted by the
bank in partnership with the World Banks International
Finance Corporation. It is focused on supporting projects
that promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, and green
technology.
For its efforts, Glacier recently received the IFC Sustainable
Energy Finance Award.
The support of BPI has allowed us to reinvent our business
model and invest more in green and environment-friendly
projects, he says. Adopting energy-efficient systems
and using renewable energy require more capital at the
beginning. BPI understood this, and delivered just-in-time
project financing that allowed us to implement our project at
the fastest possible time.
Glacier aims to become a leading player in the cold chain
industry by having the largest capacity by end-2015, says
Yan, who is now training his sight on vertical integration, to
include third-party logistics and food processing. Hopefully,
this will improve the market value of products and expand
the market reach of producers, manufacturers, and sellers,
he says.

BPI Capital served as Maxs exclusive financial advisor


in the acquisition, and sole arranger for an acquisition
financing.

President & CEO


Maxs Group
It was just after the Second World War when one of the
countrys most loved brands came into existenceMaximo
Gimenez lived in a house near a US military camp in
Quezon City, on a street thats now called Scout Tuazon.
American soldiers in the area found stimulating conversation
and good food in the home of Gimenez, who soon enlisted
his niece, Ruby, to prepare her signature chicken dish for his
American friends.
Soon, the American soldiers said, we like it here and
wed like to pay for the food. So they started to pay
and it took off from there, narrates Robert Trota, a
grandnephew of Gimenez and president and CEO of the
present-day Maxs Group.
Seven decades later, the family-run Maxs had become a
restaurant group, that included Maxs Restaurant, Maxs
Corner Bakery, and the Philippine franchises of Krispy
Kreme and Jamba Juice. It was also eyeing a much bigger
restaurant chain, the publicly listed Pancake House Group,
in order to achieve significant growth.
In July 2014, Maxs acquired 89.9 percent of PHG for
P3.5 billion, bringing together 14 restaurant brands under
one roof. These brands include Pancake House, Yellow
Cab, Le Coeur de France, Dencios, and Teriyaki Boy. The
acquisition catapulted Maxs to a position of undisputed
leadership in the Philippine casual dining space, with over
500 restaurants in the country and about 25 more abroad.

In December 2014, the Maxs Groupthe combined entity


after the mergerraised another P3.5 billion through the
sale of over 197 million common shares, in the process
deleveraging the company, and positioning it for sustainable
growth. BPI Capital again acted as Maxs sole bookrunner,
issue manager and lead underwriter.
Together with BPI, we created a record of sortswe raised
the bar in terms of targeting an acquisition, doing a merger,
and carrying out a follow-on offering all in one year. All
these are normally done in three years, says Robert.
The relationship with the whole team, BPI Capital and BPI
Securities [which acted as tender offer agent and buy-side
broker], has given us the confidence to do bigger things,
together.
BPI continues to assist Maxs in unlocking and enhancing
value, capitalizing synergies from the integrated restaurant
group.
Trota underscores this vision: We want to be the Filipino
company with the most loved brands by 2025. Our mission
statement is, We build loved brands. Thats how we want
our customers to remember us by. We would love to be
part of those loved brands, and being a Filipino company, a
Filipino brand, makes it even better.

Bancassurance. BPI has two strategic partnerships in the


bancassurance space: In life insurance, we are partnered
with Philam Life, one of the countrys longest-standing and
largest providers of life insurance policies, and a subsidiary
of Hong Kongs AIA Group; in non-life insurance, we are
partnered with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (MS), one
of Japans largest non-life insurance companies. Together,
BPI-Philam and BPI/MS are at the forefront of providing
services that offer Filipinos financial security. Sales executives
are dispersed throughout BPIs extensive branch network and
render advisory services that address customers financial and
protection needs.
In 2014, BPI-Philam generated 21-percent growth in
annualized premiums, ranking it in the Top 5 of its industry
segment. BPI/MS, for its part, achieved net premiums at a

level highest in its 12-year history of partnership with BPI.


BPI/MS achieved strong profitability, notwithstanding low
interest rates, weaker trading environments, and higher
claims activity related to bad weather.
Payments. BPI provides comprehensive payment solutions
to both retail and corporate clients. The bank services the
funds transfer requirements of overseas Filipinos, offering
direct-to-account, branch pick-up, and door-to-door delivery
alternatives. Remittance volume and transaction count
grew 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively, garnering
BPI a 29-percent share of the remittance market last year.
For corporates, we offer a comprehensive array of bills and
supplier payment services, both electronic and in-branch,
payments to government agencies, check-printing services,
and international wire transfers.

Transaction Banking. We help clients manage their


working capital and liquidity needs, and assist in managing
the logistics of collections and payments, and providing
reports thereon. We have cooperated closely with our large
industrial clients this year, helping them manage down
increased working capital requirements, given logistical
bottlenecks that have adversely impacted their supply chain.
We are also active in providing foreign exchange and trade
financing services. In 2014, we became the first Philippine
bank to issue Renminbi-denominated letters of credit,
facilitating the importation of goods and services from the
Peoples Republic of China.

Investment Banking & Capital Markets. BPI Capital is


our flagship in investment banking and BPI Securities, in
equities brokerage. In 2014, Bloomberg ranked us as No.
1 in managing equity capital markets transactions, with an
18 percent market share; and No. 3 in debt capital markets,
with a 16 percent share. The markets saw BPI demonstrate
newfound leadership in equities transactions, where it helped
successfully conclude initial public offerings for leading
companies such as Century Pacific, Stores Specialists, the
Maxs Group, and Integrated Micro-Electronics. In debt
capital markets, we helped corporate clients raise P143
billion in total funding, including JG Summits P30 billion
and PLDTs P10 billion retail bond offerings.
We also innovated in loan financing and financial advisory
services. We financed Navegars acquisition of the Bistro
Group, as well as Baring Private Equitys purchase of the
ACCRA Law Tower. We also raised P33 billion in project
financing for Pagbilao Energy, the largest of its kind in
Philippine domestic project finance. A significant amount
of our loan and capital markets financing activity arose
from financial advisory assignments. We advised, among
others, the Maxs Group in its acquisition of Pancake
House, providing acquisition financing, all prior to its
initial public offering. In doing so, BPI helped transform
the Maxs Group into the largest casual dining restaurant
group in the country.

Global Markets
In Global Markets, our core competence is the
management of the banks positions in liquidity, interest
rates, foreign exchange, and fixed income capital markets
instruments. We are one of the largest Eligible Dealers
in government securities, and are a major counterparty
to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr). Our prudent stance
in markets risk-taking resulted in significant retention of
comprehensive income from net income, underscoring
our focus on quality of earnings and our desire to achieve
profitability through the interest rate cycle.
We retain in-house economists who conduct extensive
research on Philippine and global macro-economic trends.
Furthermore, we gather market intelligence through
formal advisory arrangements with major international
banks and asset managers. Finally, we have reinforced our
sales and distribution teams to improve across-the-board
connectivity with institutional, corporate, private banking,
and retail clients, thereby improving our intelligence
about market movements and generating flow-related
volume and revenues. We are a significant complement to
BPI Capital, as it increases its capital markets origination
activity and builds out its syndicate functions.

Expanding Access
In 2014, we opened investments and foreign exchange
centers in Manila and Quezon City; we also plan to open
yet another in Cebu City in February 2015. We have also
strategically placed marketing units present in areas like
Cebu, Davao and Pampanga, complementing the ability of
our branch network to provide funding, foreign exchange,

People and
Community

In 2014, BPI saw its largest organic increase in manpower


in its past 10 years. From 13,024 unibankers in 2013, we
closed last year with approximately 14,500 employees,
resulting in growth of 12 percent. This growth underpinned
the significant increase in volumes seen by the bank over the
same period.
Human Resource Development
Employee training and education are essential to our growth
strategy. By ensuring that our staff, specialists, and officers
are trained, steeped in best practices, and exposed to an
environment that nurtures continuous learning, we are able
to provide the highest quality service to our customers.
We highlight below some of the significant training activities
BPI conducted last year:
Credit Risk Analysis Certification Program. This program,
designed for corporate account managers and credit policy
officers, enhanced the credit assessment capabilities of
officers and improved the banks lending practices overall,
helping to boost its aggressive growth strategy.
Target shooting sales course. Relationship managers and
sales assistants who took part in this program improved their
skills in sales and executing campaigns in offsite or out-ofbranch locations. Some 400 Relationship Managers and
Sales Assistants participated in this refresher course.
Cross-selling program. The banks branch personnel were
drilled in the practice of cross-selling in support of our
retail client campaigns. Training on this front focused on
providing tools that enabled value-adding conversations with
our customers.
Regular programs. Through our so-called BPI University,
unibankers benefit from a process of continuous training
throughout their careers in the bankthese programs range
from the new employee orientation and values orientation
workshops for new hires; officers training program, which
initiates our growing corps of officers into their leadership
roles; sales officers training program; the Leadership

Competitive Compensation
BPI has placed increasing focus on recruiting best-of-class
professionals, and putting the most qualified person into
each role. A key component of our value proposition to
employees is a competitive compensation package, one that
is aligned with performance standards we endeavor to consistently apply across the bank. The bank offers a basic monthly
salary that exceeds the mandatory minimum wage. It also
offers generous benefits that include quarterly bonuses (inclusive of 13th month pay), discretionary bonuses, overtime
pay, and various leave credits (vacation, sick, emergency and
maternity/paternity).

Excellence Acceleration Program, conducted in partnership


with Harvard Business School, focusing on executive
education; and the RM Academy, an intensive two-month
program designed for strengthening the financial advisory
skills of our relationship managers.
Aside from a wide range of mandatory, functional, leadership
and core courses offered in-classroom or online via BPIs
My eLearning portal, the bank introduced new focused
programs last year, including the corporate finance program
for investment and corporate banking employees, a supply
chain management workshop for the shared administrative
services group, and a business process redesign workshop for
the operations team.

The bank administers its compensation programs in a way


that rewards high-level performance. It maintains sound
salary structures that recognize the potential, competence
and responsibility levels of individuals. The compensation
packages are reviewed on a regular basis, while job
evaluations at the beginning of the year serve as the bases for
salary adjustments and promotions.
One of our major incentives for deserving officers is the
grant of an annual performance bonus, which is directly
related in amount to the size and quality of the banks annual
earnings. Our PB payouts are based not only on an officers
individual productivity and performance relative to assigned
targets, but also on a relative comparison to the performance
of peers within their rank.
Another testament to BPIs commitment of offering greater
value to its employeesand aligning managements interest
with shareholders--are its equity-linked incentive plans. For
two consecutive years now, the bank has granted stock purchase and stock option plans to its most senior officers.

Climate change adaptation study. In December 2014,


the BPI Foundation and the World Wide Fund for Nature
(WWF) completed a four-year, 16-city business-risk
assessment and climate change adaptation study, which
generated socio-economic baselines for sectors most likely
to be affected by climate change. The study has proven
useful not only in understanding city-specific business
vulnerabilities, but also in aiding local governments to
implement policies and actions to mitigate the risks arising
from climate change.
For BPI, recommendations made through the study will
serve as reference in the development of concrete and innovative solutions related to sustainable development.

GEOGRAPHY

The cities covered by the study are Laoag, Santiago, Baguio,


Dagupan, Angeles, Batangas, Naga, and Puerto Princesa
in Luzon; Iloilo, Tacloban, and Cebu in the Visayas; and

BPI-DOST Science Awards. Celebrating its 25th year


in 2014, the BPI-DOST Science Awards recognizes and
gives incentives to outstanding young men and women
whose science and technology projects are entered in the
competition. Undertaken with the countrys Department
of Science and Technology, the Awards promotes budding
science professionals in the fields of mathematics, physics,
chemistry, engineering, computer science and biology as they
come up with innovative projects that contribute to nationbuilding.
Last years 29 awardees, screened from 10 partner
universities, were given cash prizes and scholarship grants
from the DOST Science Education Institute.
Employee Volunteerism
The bank has a built-in volunteerism program, BPI Bayan
(bayan means nation in Filipino), which encourages and
organizes employees to devote personal time to communities
relevant to BPI and its clients. Using a seed fund first
provided by the bank in 2009, BPI Bayan is at the forefront
of various social uplift programs. Its funding has since grown
thanks to the efforts of the banks employee-community
organizers, making the community programs self-sustaining.

The bank, through the BPI Foundation, published


the book, Salapi: The Numismatic Heritage of

Reynes Bernales and Carlo Ledesma Apuhin, a
Cebu-based relationship manager of BPI.

Salapi, unveiled during the launch of the BPI


Cebu Library in January 2014, honors the richness
of Philippine culture and is a preeminent
testimony to the Filipinos pioneering heritage
and capacity for economic development and
progress.

Corporate Governance

Tradition of Integrity
For 163 years, BPI has built its business on a foundation of
integrity and ethical business practice. Our stockholders,
clients, business partners, employees, and suppliers expect
and deserve to transact with a bank they can trust. Strong
corporate governance represents the very core of our
reputation. While we memorialize our governance standards
in various charters and manuals, we aspire that integrity and
ethics define our decision making and behavior as a matter
of culture, not conformity to rules.
Benchmarks
We benchmark our Corporate Governance under the
guidance of the Bangko Sentrals Circular 749 and the
ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard, in accordance
to standards prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and Institute of Corporate Directors.
Furthermore, we continuously gauge against risk-based
audit standards set forth by the Bangko Sentrals Capital
Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Quality, Earnings,
Liquidity and Sensitivity to Market Risk (CAMELS) rating
system. Our policies and standards comply with applicable
laws and regulations, and are regularly reviewed and updated
to conform to changes in the global and local regulatory
environments.
We pursue best practices in enterprise and financial risk
management across all our businesses. In 2014, we were
awarded House of the YearPhilippines by Asia Risk magazine,
the first-ever bestowed to a Philippine bank.

Corporate Governance

Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is the highest governance body of
the bank. It provides direction on the business of the bank
and delegates the conduct of such business to the banks
management and operating levels under the leadership
of its Chief Executive Officer. The Boards directive is to
generate reasonable returns on shareholder capital by, among
others, reviewing and approving strategies and objectives,
appointing senior executives, confirming organizational
structures, approving enterprise-wide policies, monitoring
business and financial performance, overseeing risk
management frameworks and risk appetite, and fostering
regulatory compliance. BPIs Board operates with significant
independence from its management. Our Chairman has
historically been a non-executive and separately appointed
from our Chief Executive Officer.

40

Our Board convenes regular meetings in accordance with


a monthly cycle, and special meetings may be called for as
needed; in 2014, the Board convened 14 times.

Selection: Qualified individuals are screened, reviewed, and


evaluated by the Nominations Committee. Board members
are elected by BPI stockholders who are entitled to one vote
per share at the banks annual stockholders meeting.
Compensation of Board Members
The banks by-laws provide that:
Each director shall be entitled to receive from the bank,
pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, fees and
other compensation for his services as director. The Board
of Directors shall have the sole authority to determine
the amount, form and structure of the fees and other
compensation of the directors. In no case shall the total yearly
compensation of directors exceed 1 percent of the net income
before income tax of the bank during the preceding year.

Composition: Our Board consists of 15 directors, six of


whom are classified as independent, or having no interest or
relationship with BPI at time of election, appointment, or
re-election. Fourteen of these 15 directors are non-executive
officers of the bank, and the one executive director is the
banks President and CEO.

Board members receive per diems for each occasion


of attendance at meetings of the board or of a board
committee. Bonuses paid to board members may be given
as approved by stockholders during the annual stockholders
meeting, upon recommendation of the personnel and
compensation committee. Historically, total compensation
paid to all board members have been significantly less than
the cap of 1 percent of the total net income stipulated by the
banks by-laws.

Qualification: Our board members are business and civic


professionals of significant stature and integrity, with a
track record of accomplishment in their own right, often
independent of our bank. They deliver a broad range of
experience and expertise on subject matters relevant to the
governance of present-day universal banking institutions.

Board members within the BPI Group with executive


responsibilities are compensated as full-time officers of the
company, not as non-executive directors. This is consistent
with our HR policy on offering a competitive compensation
package, one thats aligned with bankwide performance
standards.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

The banks compensation practice in relation to board


members remains similar to that of last year.
Board Committees
The banks by-laws allow the Board to carry out its various
responsibilities through the Executive Committee, as well
as delegate specific responsibilities to other committees for
specific areas of focus, as allowed by regulations. The banks
Nominations Committee reviews the charter and board
member assignments of each board committee annually. The
bank has a total of nine board committees, as follows:
Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, in the
interim between meetings of the Board, possesses and
exercises all powers of the Board in the management and
direction of the affairs of the bank subject to the provisions
of the banks by-laws, and the limitations of the law and
other applicable regulations. It serves as the operating arm of
the Board in all matters related to corporate governance. It
approves all major policies and oversees all major risk-taking
activities, including the approval of material credit exposure.

Corporate Governance

Planning and Performance Management


We articulate our strategy in periodic planning exercises,
distill our plans in formal budgets, and conduct periodic
performance reviews against both our budgets and our
past performance. We act in accordance with well-defined
operating policies and procedures, and ensure the accuracy
and transparency of our operational and financial reporting
to protect the banks reputation for integrity and fair dealing.
We also strive to achieve accountability in our revenue
performance, efficiency in our expenditure of resources,
and high quality in the delivery of services and achievement
of customer satisfaction. Our management is periodically
reviewed and rewarded according to their performance
relative to assigned targets, and to feedback from customers
and peers.

44

We place strong emphasis on prudent risk taking and risk


management. Specific management committees ensure that
major risks are identified, measured, and controlled against
established limits. These management committees include:
Credit Committee;
Assets and Liabilities Committee;
Operational and IT Risk Management Committee;
and
Information Technology Steering Committee.

an effective Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process


and other risk management processes. Our framework
focuses on three key components:
Sound governance;
Effective processes, information systems, and controls;
and
Timely and reliable data.
Our board fulfills its risk management function through
the Risk Management Committee. More junior
committees and units within our organization manage
more granular financial and non-financial exposures. Our
Risk Management Office is headed by our Chief Risk
Officer. The CRO is ultimately responsible for formulating
risk management policies and methodologies in alignment
with the strategy of the bank, ensuring that risks are
rationally undertaken and within the banks risk appetite,
as well as commensurate to maximize returns on capital.
The CRO and the RMO facilitate risk management
learning programs and promote best practices on an
enterprise-wide basis.

The membership of these committees consist of the banks


senior management (or, in the case of the ITSC, nonexecutive board members), who are subject matter experts
in areas of knowledge relevant to the respective committees.
Members include client specialists, product specialists,
members of the Risk Management Office, and other senior
executives.

We track risks according to three major classifications:


credit, market, and operational risks. Credit risk arises from
the banks core lending and investing business; market risk
arises from the banks business in managing interest rate and
liquidity gaps, as well as in the trading and distribution of
fixed income, foreign exchange, and derivative instruments
(as allowed by regulation); and operational risk arises from
the banks people and processes, its information technology,
threats to the security of its facilities, personnel, or data,
business interruption risk, reputational risk, and compliance
obligations to regulatory or taxing authorities, among others.

Risk Management
We espouse a comprehensive risk management and capital
management framework, which integrates the management
of all our risk exposures. We work to ensure that the
bank has adequate liquidity and capital to mitigate risks.
Our framework conforms not only to our own rigorous
standards, but also to Bangko Sentral directives promoting

Financial risk management is carried out by a dedicated


team of skilled risk managers and senior officers who have
extensive prior operational experience working within
our firm. Our risk managers regularly monitor key risk
indicators, and report exposures against carefully established
credit, market, and operational and IT risk metrics and
limits approved by our Risk Management Committee.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

Credit Risk. We have a Credit Policy and Risk Management


unit responsible for the overall management of the banks
credit risk. CPRM is accountable to the RMC in assisting to
establish the banks risk appetite and in the RMCs oversight
function on credit risk. In addition, the CPRM supports
senior management in ensuring the quality of the banks loan
portfolio by identifying, measuring, monitoring, reporting,
and controlling credit risks.
CPRM ensures that the banks stringent underwriting
standards and rating parameters are met by the various
lending units. In 2014, the bank experienced significant
growth in loan volumes, and did so in general compliance
with regulatory and prudential requirements relating to credit
risk management (for example, DOSRI restrictions, single
borrowers limits, and credit concentration, among others).
The bank continues to maintain a diversified loan portfolio
with no significant concentrations. Our top 20 group
exposures generally remain within the internal single
borrowers limit and operate in diversified industries. Our
commercial loans account for about 78 percent of the total
portfolio, consumer loans account for the balance of 22
percent. Large corporate borrowers comprised approximately
85 percent of commercial loans, while SMEs account for the
remaining 15 percent.
Credit reviews are regularly conducted to assess that the
credit processfrom loan origination, credit analysis,
approval, implementation, and administrationconforms
to the standards set in our internal policies and complies
with regulatory requirements. In 2014, we reviewed eight
key lending units and portfolios nationwide, and its reviews
revealed generally acceptable credit performance and
portfolio qualities. As the banks loan portfolio grew, asset
quality generally improved in terms of both non-performing
loan amounts and ratio. As of year-end 2014, the banks
gross 90-day NPL ratio stood at 1.52 percent and net 30-day
NPL ratio at 0.5 percent, the lowest for the bank in the last
seven years. In accordance with PFRS reporting standards,
NPL reserves cover improved in 2014 to 109 percent from
105 percent in 2013.

Asset quality is reviewed and monitored through the regular


monitoring and validation of the internal credit risk rating
of corporate borrowers proposed by the lending units. We
have developed and used internal credit risk rating system
and scoring models, which are then independently validated
by a reputable independent third party, jointly with our Risk
Models Validation unit. Regular monitoring of our ICRRS
and scoring models is done to ensure that their predictive
powers remain both qualitatively and statistically acceptable.
In 2014, we implemented enhanced retail housing credit
risk scorecards and an internal credit risk rating model
for corporate SMEs, incorporating probability of default
estimates into our models, as part of the banks preparations
to transition into a Basel Internal Ratings-Based (Foundation
IRB) approach.
Regular reviews of the appropriateness of classifications and
impairment rates of classified loan accounts are conducted
for proper assessment of loan quality. Similarly, collective
impairment of unclassified corporate accounts is determined
based on the PDs of each rating grade. On the other hand,
consumer loans are impaired through a portfolio-approach
methodology using historical flow rates as basis for the
impairment factors.
Stress tests are regularly conducted on the banks loan
portfolio to determine the impact of various economic
scenarios, to surface any undue credit concentration risk
and to comply with regulatory reporting. Results showed
that even on an adverse macro-economic scenario, our
capital adequacy ratio will remain above the regulatory CAR
requirement of 10 percent.
We undergo continuous cycles of improvement, in our quest
to enhance the banks credit policies and guidelines, as well
as review lending programs to ensure that credit parameters
meet the banks standards, regulatory compliance and best
practices, while supporting our firms growth strategies. Our
credit risk information system is currently being upgraded to
a more robust system that will enable more granular analysis
of the loan portfolio while delivering timely and accurate
reporting of the banks loan structures, credit concentrations,

Corporate Governance

and other risk data analytics. These efforts are undertaken


in recognition of the Bangko Sentrals recent policy memo,
Guidelines on Sound Credit Risk Management Practices.
Market Risk. Our Market Risk Management unit
implements risk metrics that guide dealers in preserving
incomes during times of volatility and uncertainty. It
develops forward-looking risk scenarios and analyze their
impact on profitability, leading to the establishment of
market and liquidity risk measurements and limits that
balance risk appetite with profitability goals. In 2014, this
unit oversaw a rigorous regime of market risk discipline
which led to significant growth in our total comprehensive
income.

46

The year 2014 was characterized by increased volatility in


both global and local financial markets. Against this, we
implemented stringent measures to manage the market
risk exposures of the bank, in particular, the risk of rising
interest rates. Furthermore, we introduced supplemental
measures to highlight sensitivities to movements in
additional risk factors, as well as risk-adjusted performance
measures to highlight quality of earnings. A significant
area of focus for us this past year was improving our
liquidity and repricing gap models, its assumptions, as
well as incorporating global scenarios in our stress test
models. This headway in liquidity and interest rate risk
management is aligned with building our foundation of
integrity and prudent risk management.
We continued to make strides in advancing our asset and
liability management capabilities with the rollout of our
fully automated ALM system. This robust risk engine ran
countless scenario analyses under both static and dynamic
balance sheet conditions. All these enhancements are
executed by our team of highly talented risk officers with
diverse experiences in market risk, dealing room risk, trading
and treasury operations. With our market risk (for value-atrisk, calculations) and ALM risk systems fully operational,
our team of MRM professionals is well equipped for an even
more robust market risk management regime as the scale of
our businesses continues to expand.

Operational and Information Technology Risk.


Our Operational and Information Technology Risk
Management unit monitors risks arising from inadequate
or failed internal processes, people, and systems
(for example, fraud, product flaws, breakdowns in
informational or physical safeguards) or from external
events (natural disasters, electrical or telecommunication
failures). Operational risks are embedded in all banking
products and services, and may include risks that give
rise to adverse legal, tax, regulatory, or reputational
consequences. Information technology is a significant
risk factor assumed in conjunction with operational risk,
given the highly automated nature of the banks processes
and services. We define IT risk as the risk of any adverse
outcome arising from the use of or reliance on information
systems; as such, IT risk includes, but are not limited to,
information security, service availability, reliability and
availability of IT operations, completion-on-specification
of IT development projects, and regulatory compliance
pursuant to the Bangko Sentrals policy guidelines on
Information Technology Risk Management.
The OITRM unit formulates policies, develops, and
monitors KRIs, and oversees thoroughness of bank-wide
risk and control self-assessments, loss incident management
processes, and risk management awareness and appreciation
programs. A significant resource and governance tool
employed by the OITRM unit to perform its function are
the banks Business Risk Officers. We have several BROs
embedded across the organization in key functional units,
such as information systems, retail clients, corporate
clients, financial products and services, asset management,
global markets and centralized operations and services.
The BROs are responsible to the OITRM for promoting a
sound risk management culture, implementing operational
and IT risk management best practices as determined
by the OITRM unit, and ensuring timely submission of
operational and IT risk reports. In addition to employing
BROs, in 2014, the bank reinstituted the operational
and IT risk management committee to provide oversight
over its OITRM unit, in accordance with regulatory
requirements.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

We manage our operational and IT risks by ensuring such


risks are thoroughly identified, monitored, reported, and
mitigated. We have defined clear responsibilities related
to the performance of the risk management function, as
well as the accountabilities, methods, and tools employed
to identify and mitigate operational and IT risks in our
operating units. We require operating units to undertake
regular self-assessments to identify risks, assess the design of
controls and the performance effectiveness of such controls.
KRIs are used to monitor risk profiles, trigger early warning
alerts, and instigate mitigating action. We measure loss
incidents diligently, with specific guidelines and processes in
place to ensure timely reporting, analysis of root cause and
business impact, and speedy problem resolution.
Our risk management processes are ingrained in our new
product development efforts. From inception to launch, new
products are subject to design and testing activities aimed
at safeguarding both the bank and our clients from the risk
of economic loss, operational disruption, or compromise of
personal or financial data. We are particularly diligent in this
respect with our online products and services.
We are disciplined about disaster preparedness. To mitigate
the impact of adverse events, we have in place business
continuity and disaster recovery plans to ensure the
recovery and availability of all critical customer-servicing
infrastructure. To meet the increasing demand on business
continuity preparedness of the banks operations, we have
also installed bigger and more robust BCP sites for critical
head office services.
For information systems, the bank operates a secondary
data center, which houses backup facilities that provide
processing, memory, network, and storage infrastructure that
allows the bank to operate its critical application systems.
The secondary data center is located at a site significantly
distant from the banks primary data center. Furthermore,
business units performing critical functions in the delivery of
the banks products, services, and channels have completed
an annual testing of their respective BCPs. Our employees
undergo continuous BCP training to promote awareness.

We are vigilant about physical and information security.


To enhance our monitoring and reporting of information
security risks, our enterprise information security
management team is undertaking efforts to identify
information assets and build an asset register, and to
implement and conduct an information security risk
assessment process methodology that identifies threats,
vulnerabilities, and appropriate mitigating measures.

Our Central Security Office is responsible for the security of
the banks facilities and the overall safety of our customers and
employees. Its main objectives are the protection of personnel
and property, close monitoring and resolution of incidents,
the rescue of personnel in distress, and the prevention and
prosecution of crime. The CSOs mission is performed using
a three-tiered defense system which comprises of intelligence,
target hardening, and incident management. Cooperation with
law enforcement agencies is encouraged whenever appropriate.
In addition, a safety officer has been designated to be primarily
responsible for the safety activities and requirements of the
bank, including monitoring of threats that might impact
adversely on the general well-being of bank operations.
We have adopted technologies which integrate the banks
alarms, access controls, and centralized closed circuit TV
systems. To date, all branches are equipped with CCTVs
and selected branches are connected to our central video
and alarm monitoring system. Certain sensitive operational
centers are also connected to this system, and monitored
24/7 at our centralized Security Operations Center.
We prepare extensively against risk of litigation or regulatory
penalty. Our Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution unit
serves as our main legal resource. As such, it plays a critical
preventive role by issuing legal advisory bulletins that
highlight legal issues, new laws, and regulatory fiats that
impact our products and services; and tax advisory bulletins
that promote tax compliance and awareness of initiatives
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and other regulatory
and legislative entities. This unit also provides training
and seminars in support of its bulletins, and has an active
documentation team that reviews all bank contracts.

2014 Annual Report

47

Corporate Governance

Beyond its preventive role, our legal affairs unit plays a


significant role in mitigating losses when the bank is involved
in litigation. It handles all criminal, civil and administrative
cases, that is, defensive cases filed by any party against the
bank for any reason; cases filed on behalf of the bank to
assert its rights and interests, claim for damages and/or to
prosecute errant employees and other parties; and to recover
or collect from delinquent borrowers. To expedite resolution
of cases, the unit adopts innovative litigation techniques and
alternative modes of dispute resolution, with the sole objective
of protecting the rights and interests of the bank.

48

Model Risk. We continuously test the quality of our risk


models. Our Risk Models Validation unit is responsible
for conducting the independent model validation activities
of the banks risk and financial models. The independent
validation of risk models is governed by the banks model
risk management policy and governance framework, aimed
at ensuring an active and effective model risk management
across the BPI Group.
Asset Management and Trust Risk. In 2014, we have also
fully integrated the accountability of the risk management
unit of the asset management and trust business under
the auspices of the banks Chief Risk Officer and the Risk
Management Office. In so doing, we have enforced
bank-wide standards on the units risk management policies
and methodologies, KRIs, and reporting, altogether now
under the purview with the banks other self-assessment and
control units.
Management of Risk Exposure
The bank uses various methodologies, tools, and systems
to measure its risk exposure. Our credit risk exposures are
assessed using internal credit risk rating models that take
into account our existing exposure to the counterparty (by
asset class), the counterpartys probability of default, and
the value recoverable from the counterparty in the event of
default. Credit risk rating and probability of default models
are developed internally by our CPRM unit using statistical
methods on quantitative and qualitative risk factors, including

credit judgment overlaysto account for borrower-specific


and other factors that cannot be modeled statistically. Our
models are independently validated, and their predictive
power and performance are regularly monitored.
Credit risk exposures are classified and managed according
to rating grades. Each rating grade has a corresponding
probability of default that exponentially increases as a rated
account moves from the best to the worst rating grade. The
migration of accounts between rating grades is regularly
monitored and analyzed. Loss provisioning also takes into
account the rating grade of each exposure. While specific
reserves are set up for defaulted exposures, provisioning for
non-default exposures is based on expected loss, which is a
function of the probability of default and loss given default
(under standardized approach). Expected losses are constantly
assessed and measured following our internal policies and the
Bangko Sentrals regulatory provisioning policies.
In compliance with Basel and Bangko Sentral standards
on minimum capital requirements, our CAR calculation
is computed based on qualifying capital and riskweighted assets. We also measure the banks credit risk
exposures in terms of regulatory capital requirement
using the standardized approach. Using this method, our
credit exposures to sovereigns, corporate and banks are
risk-weighted to reflect credit assessment from eligible
ratings agencies (Fitch, Moodys, Standard & Poors, and
PhilRatings, where applicable). This method also allows for
the use of eligible collaterals (cash, financial instruments,
and guarantees) to mitigate credit risk. The bank ensures
all documentation used in collateralized or guaranteed
transactions are binding on all parties and legally enforceable
in the relevant jurisdiction.
Using the Basel regulatory standardized approach, our total
credit risk-weighted assets as of December 31, 2014 amounted
to P757.0 billion, and are composed of on-book credit
exposures after risk mitigation of P748.7 billion, off-balance
sheet risk-weighted assets of P5.7 billion and counterparty
risk-weighted assets in the trading book of P3.4 billion.

Corporate Governance

As of end-2014, our total outstanding investment in


structured products was $155.0 million, composed of
investments in credit-linked notes (53 percent), range
accrual notes (32 percent) and collared floaters (15 percent).
The banks exposure on selling credit protection is limited to
investments in CLNs.

52

We manage the market risk exposures of both our trading


and non-trading portfolios. Our assets in both on- and
off-balance sheet trading portfolios are subject to trading
gains and losses. Market risk exposure from these portfolios
is measured by VaR models. As part of the management of
market risk, the bank undertakes various hedging strategies.
The bank also enters into interest rate swaps to match the
interest rate risk associated with fixed-rate long-term debt
securities. In terms of capital usage using the standardized
approach, total market risk-weighted assets stood at P25.6
billion as of end-2014, of which foreign exchange exposure
accounted for more than half, followed by interest rate
exposures and equity exposure, respectively.
The table below presents the breakdown of the banks market
risk-weighted assets for 2014 and 2013:

Our liquidity profile is observed and monitored using


the minimum cumulative liquidity gap metric, which is
computed monthly. MCLG measures net inflow levels of the
bank. BPI, on a consolidated basis, should be liquid enough
to provide sufficient buffer for critical liquidity situations.
A red flag is raised should the MCLG projected within the
next quarter breaches the RMC-prescribed MCLG limit.
Interest rate risk measurement is fundamental to our
banking business. Movements in interest rates can expose the
bank to adverse shifts in the level of net interest income and
can impair the underlying values of its assets and liabilities.
BPI is exposed to interest rate risk on unfavorable changes
in the rate curves, which would have adverse effects on the
Groups earnings and its economic value of equity. Interest
rate risk exposure arising from the core banking activities is
measured by:

Earnings-at-risk (EaR), or the potential deterioration


in net interest income over the next 12 months due to
adverse movements in interest rates; and
Balance Sheet Value-at-Risk (BSVaR), or the impact
on the economic value of the future cash flows in the
banking book due to changes in interest rates.

Our interest rate gap model is measured based on the


repricing schedule of the balance sheet accounts. To
illustrate, loans are mapped on either the maturity date
(for accounts paying fixed interest rate) or next interest
rate review date (for accounts paying floating interest
rate). Meanwhile, for deposit accounts that do not have
defined maturity dates (e.g. savings and current accounts),
repricing schedules are derived through a study on the
pattern of the banks historical review of deposit rates and
of the depositors behavior.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

As of end December 2014, the banks BSVaR level (P2.0


billion) and EaR level (P90 million) were well within the
banks established risk appetite.
Our exposure to operational risks are identified, assessed,
and monitored as an integral part of risk assessment
processes. We currently use the Basel regulatory basic
indicator approach to quantify operational risk-weighted
assets, by using the historical total annual gross income as
the main measure of risk. For the year 2014, the banks total
operational risk-weighted assets stood at P83.1 billion.

In 2014, we saw the increasing industry-wide trend in


credit card fraud, particularly for the card-not-present
fraud, and ATM/debit card skimming incidents, so the
OITRM unit continued to closely monitor through
established measurements and limits on risk indicators,
and implemented mitigating measures. We have employed
a real-time card fraud detection system that helped the
bank significantly improve fraud detection, false positive

rates, and fraud case handling efficiencies. Furthermore, we


continuously strengthened our security awareness program
that provides our customers with relevant information
about the risks associated with online and other banking
transactions.
As part of the initiatives to advance risk management
methodologies, the banks OITRM unit has begun stress
testing through scenario analysis to support the internal
capital assessment for operational and IT risks. Through
a series of stress scenarios, OITRM is able to identify,
analyze, and assess the impact of unexpected and severe
operational risk events. This exercise ensures that the
impact of high severity events are captured during risk
assessment, especially those not yet reflected in the banks
existing historical loss data.
Capital Adequacy
Our Strategic and Corporate Planning Division oversees
the management of the banks capital adequacy. Capital
adequacy ratio is the ratio of the banks total qualifying
capital to the standard risk weights assigned to the banks
assets, and it measures the capability of its capital funds to
cover its various business risks. This division also ensures
compliance with regulatory and internal minimum capital
adequacy requirements, referred to as the banks internal
minimum CAR, or IMCAR, and the CAR management
action trigger, or CARMAT, which incorporates the banks
internal capital buffers and limit trigger, and captures risks
beyond Pillar 1 risks (credit, market, and operational).
Furthermore, as the central planning unit of the bank, this
division is responsible for raising all strategic capital needs
of the bank, as well as initiating approvals for dividend
payments to shareholders.

Corporate Governance

BPI submits an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment


Process, or ICAAP, document annually to the Bangko
Sentral, in full accordance with the Basel-Pillar II guidelines.
As of December 31, 2014, BPIs solo (parent) and
consolidated CAR stood at 13.56 percent and 14.85 percent
respectively, well within the regulatory requirement of
10.0 percent, and above the banks internally set IMCAR
and CARMAT. The banks solo and consolidated common
equity tier 1 capital at 12.69 percent and 13.97 percent,
respectively, compare favorably with regulatory CAR,
IMCAR and CARMAT.
The banks total qualifying capital for the years ended
2014 and 2013 were P128.5 billion and P96.7 billion,
respectively. This years qualifying capital grew at a significant
rate owing to a P25-billion rights issue completed in
February 2014.

Corporate Governance

A summary of our CAR is set forth in our audited financial


statements, attached herewith, under Note 3.7 (Capital
Management). Computation of the banks CAR in the
AFS was primarily based on the CAR reporting template
provided by Bangko Sentral Circular No. 538.
In preparation for the phased-in implementation of
Basel III capital and liquidity reforms by the BSP
effective January 2014 and moving forward, the bank
has performed quantitative impact studies on credit
value adjustment for Treasury credit instruments and
asset correlation, and identified the transition and
implementation plans to be able to meet the revised
minimum capital requirements prescribed by the Basel
regime. Key officers of the bank have had in-depth and
relevant training on risk management best practices and
other Basel III-related topics.

56

Related Party Transactions


In the normal course of business, the bank transacts with
related parties which consist of its directors, officers,
stockholders and related interest, subsidiaries and affiliates
(including those under the Ayala group of companies),
as well as other related parties (as defined in the banks
internal policy) who may have a significant influence in a
transaction.
These transactions involve credit and non-credit exposures
such as borrowings, guarantees, agreements for the periodic
provision of leases or other services, asset purchases
and sales, derivative transactions, trust transactions,
investments, and the purchase or sale of goods. The bank
invests significant effort in ensuring that transactions with
related parties are normal banking activities and are done
at arms length, particularly, on terms and conditions
comparable to those offered to non-related parties or to
similar transactions in the market. The bank is committed
to ensure strict compliance with laws, regulations and
reporting requirements relating to DOSRI and related
party transactions. The board has a Related Party

Transactions Committee, consisting of four directors and


headed by an independent director, to vet all related party
transactions crossing certain thresholds of materiality.
The committee is supported by the RPT Vetting unit of
the RMO, which is responsible for the coordination and
documentation of transactions of the recommending
business units prior to submission to the RPTC.
The banks Chief Audit Executive and Chief Compliance
Officer also sit as non-voting members of the RPTC and
perform post-reviews to ensure proper implementation of
related party transactions.
Regulatory Compliance
Our Compliance Office is charged with nurturing the
banks culture for integrity, ethical business practice, and
fair dealing. It is directly accountable to the banks Audit
Committee. While we are interested in compliance with
regulations that impact usin particular, those of the
Bangko Sentral, Securities and Exchange Commission, and
the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporationwe value
most our reputation and the fact that we are trusted by our
shareholders, our clients, our employees, our partners, and
members of our community.
The Compliance Office oversees the implementation of the
banks enterprise-wide compliance programs. The programs
take into account the size and complexity of the bank, the
relevant rules and regulations that affect its operations, and
the business risks that may arise due to non-compliance. By
using regulatory and self-assessment compliance matrices,
compliance measures are formulated to mitigate identified
business risks and tested to ensure effectiveness.
The Compliance Office is also supported by the accountability
of 14 Group Compliance Coordinating Officers who are
embedded in the operational units throughout the bank.
The GCCOs are charged with enforcing Compliance
Office initiatives, as well as providing timely reports to the
Compliance Office.

compliance measures and amend compliance matrices as
necessary. Through continued liaison and dialogue with
regulators, the Compliance Office ensures the prompt
dissemination of new regulations and other developments
affecting bank operations.
Anti-Money Laundering
We place great significance on the prevention of financial
crimes, as they pose a significant threat to our reputation.
Under the purview of the Compliance Office, the banks
Anti-Money Laundering Unit is responsible for monitoring
customer and counterparty transactions in compliance
with the Anti-Money Laundering Law, its implementing
rules and regulations, and Bangko Sentral Circular 706.

programs conducted by the banks AML unit or complete
our eLearning courses.
FATCA
The bank values its ability to transact efficiently in U.S.
dollars. In compliance with the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act of the United States, the Compliance
Office established a FATCA Compliance Unit to ensure the
consistent and effective compliance with FATCA regulations

2014 Annual Report

57

Corporate Governance

throughout the bank and its subsidiaries. FATCA is a U.S.


tax regulation designed to improve tax compliance by
U.S. persons who maintain accounts in non-U.S. financial
institutions or who transact with non-U.S. entities. Under
its rules, the bank and some of its identified subsidiaries
and affiliates are required to register with the United
States Internal Revenue Service as participating foreign
financial institutions in order to prevent the imposition of
a 30-percent withholding tax on income received from the
U.S. The registration of the bank and its covered subsidiaries
and affiliates with the IRS was completed in April 2014.

58

As required under the rules of FATCA, a Responsible


Officer has been appointed to oversee the banks compliance
with regulations, establish a program to ensure its effective
implementation and accomplish certain certifications with
the IRS. The FATCA compliance program provides for
additional requirements on customer due diligence and
documentation and new reporting guidelines to the relevant
tax authorities.
Internal Audit
Our Internal Audit unit is an independent body that
evaluates the effectiveness of the banks risk management,
internal controls, and governance processes, as well as
ensures that operating and business units adhere to internal
processes and procedures and to regulatory and legal
requirements. Internal Audit reports directly to the Board
through its Audit Committee. It also works closely with
the Risk Management Office, Compliance Office, external
auditors, and other oversight units for a comprehensive
review of risks and compliance in the institution, and
ensures that business units proactively manage the risk and
compliance exposures.
Internal Audit has an established quality assurance and
improvement program to ensure that audit activities
conform to the International Standards for the Professional
Practice of Internal Auditing. The program includes periodic

internal and external quality assessments and ongoing


monitoring of the performance of the internal audit activity.
Periodic internal assessments are conducted annually, while
external quality assessments are conducted at least once every
five years by a qualified independent validator. Internal Audit
maintains its generally conforms ratings on both internal
and external assessments, which indicate that its activities
have continuously conformed with professional standards,
code of ethics, and other internal standards.

to integrity and ethical behavior by helping to foster and


maintain an environment where all personnel can act
appropriately without fear of reprisal and be treated with
utmost confidentiality. A separate and distinct reporting and
investigation process beyond the normal reporting lines are
in place. Any violation of the banks policies and procedures
may be reported in writing, in person or through a dedicated
and confidential BPI e-mail that has been established for this
purpose.

Internal Audit continuously improves the capabilities of


its auditors through continuous education on auditing
techniques, regulations, and banking products and services.

Conflict-of-interest, insider trading, and whistleblower


policies and guidelines are included in the banks
Management and Operating Manual and Personnel Policy
Manual, each of which is recorded in electronic databases
readily accessible for guidance of our employees. Aside from

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


Bank of the Philippine Islands
For the Year ended December 31, 2014
The Board-approved Audit Committee Charter defines the duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. In
accordance with this Charter, the Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities to the
shareholders with respect to:



b) Reviewed and discussed the reports from internal audit and other management assurance units, ensuring that
Management is taking the appropriate corrective actions on the control weaknesses in a timely manner and
all identified risk are reviewed in coordination with the Risk Management Committee. The Committee also
discussed updates on the Information Technology organization and strategy, including Management action
plans focusing on strengthening further IT governance and oversight of outsourced services.

The Committee is composed of five (5) non-executive directors, with two (2) independent directors including the

functions, the Committee performed the following activities in relation to the:
1. Financial Statements:

d) Evaluated the performance of the Chief Audit Executive. The Committee also ensures that the internal audit
function is independent, has adequate and competent resources, and has authority to be able to effectively
discharge its duties.
4. Regulatory Compliance:

a) Reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Bank of the Philippine Islands
(BPI) and its related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2014, including the assessment of the Banks
internal controls relative to the financial reporting process, with Management, internal auditors, and the external
auditor, Isla Lipana & Co., a member firm of Price Waterhouse Coopers. The review was performed in the
following context:

70

That Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the financial reporting
process, and

That Isla Lipana is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of BPIs annual audited
consolidated financial statements with the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

After obtaining assurance on the external auditors independent and thorough review of the financial statements,
the Committee endorsed the audited financial statements for approval by the Board and for inclusion in the
2014 Annual Report to the Stockholders.
b) Discussed with Management and internal auditors, the quarterly unaudited financial report of BPI including the
results of operations and endorsed the financial statements to the Board of Directors for approval.
2. External Audit:
a) Reviewed the annual audit plan and the related scope of work of the external auditors, ensuring that areas of
focus are appropriately covered and there were no significant gaps in the scope between external and internal
audits. In consultation with Management, the Committee approved the term of engagement and audit fees of
the external auditor.
b) Assessed the overall performance and effectiveness of the external auditors in terms of their independence,

with both Compliance Office and Internal Audit as non-voting members.
In compliance with the SEC requirement and the BPI Corporate Governance Manual, the Audit Committee:

Attended the annual SEC accredited workshop/program on corporate governance, aside from the regular updates
on new relevant laws, regulations and other applicable standards.

Reviewed and reassessed the Audit Committee Charter to ensure that it is annually updated and aligned with
recent guidelines and other relevant regulations. The Committee also conducted an annual self-assessment
of its performance, results of which were validated by the Compliance Officer and discussed by the Corporate
Governance Committee.

Based on the results of the assurance activities performed by the Banks Internal Audit and the external auditors
unqualified opinion on the financial statement, the Committee assessed that the Banks system of internal controls,
risk management, and governance processes are adequate and generally effective. This overall assessment states,
among others, that the audit scope and coverage are sufficient, comprehensive, and risk-based, that Management
is aware of its responsibility for internal control, and that there is no interference with the accomplishment of audit
activities and reporting of issues and other relevant information to Management, Audit Committee, and the Board of
Directors.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY


FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Results of Operations

advertising, management and other professional fees,


and other miscellaneous transaction-related expenses.
Occupancy and equipment-related expenses increased
P977 million, or 12.2 percent, due to increases in
computer equipment and software costs, contractuals,
rental, depreciation, and amortization costs.

The management of Bank of the Philippine Islands is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with the prescribed
financial reporting framework indicated, including the additional components attached therein. This
responsibility includes designing and implementing internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and making accounting estimates that are
reasonable in the circumstances.

Financial Condition

The Board of Directors reviews and approves the financial statements and submits the same to the
stockholders.

In 2014, BPI achieved net income of P18.0 billion,


an amount P0.8 billion, or 4.1 percent, lower than the
P18.8 billion earned in the prior year. The decline in net
income resulted from a P4.2-billion increase in operating
expense, provisions and taxes, which offset a
P3.3-billion, or 6.3-percent, increase in total revenues.
Return on equity (ROE) was 13.8 percent, 4.3-percent
lower than last years 18.1 percent. The drop in ROE
is the combined result of lower net income and a
26-percent increase in average equity, the result of a
rights issue undertaken at the start of 2014. Return on
assets declined to 1.44 percent from last years
1.87 percent.
Total revenue increased to P55.8 billion, from last
years P52.5 billion, driven largely by a P4.5-billion
improvement in net interest income. Net interest income
of P34.8 billion, increased 14.8 percent from last years
P30.3 billion. This upsurge was primarily due to a
P247.0-billion, or 24.6-percent, expansion in average
asset base and was partly tempered by a 28-basis point
drop in net interest spreads.
Non-interest income of P21.0 billion declined
5.4 percent from last years P22.2 billion. This
P1.2-billion decline was attributed to lower trading gains
on securities (down by P3.5 billion, or 71.8 percent), and
income attributable to insurance operations (down by
P442 million, or 30.5 percent). Other operating income
increased P1.2 billion, or 12.1 percent, mainly due to
higher profit from assets sold, credit card income, and
miscellaneous income. Fees and commissions increased
P1.5 billion, or 25.2 percent, owing to increases in service
charges, bank commissions, and underwriting fees.
Impairment losses at P2.8 billion, increased
P159 million, or 6.0 percent, from 2013 as the bank
added provisions in anticipation of growth in its loan
portfolio.
Other expenses, at P30.0 billion, increased
P3.3 billion, or 12.2 percent, from last years P26.7 billion.
Compensation and fringe benefits increased P1.2 billion,
or 11.4 percent, largely due to increased headcount.
Other operating expenses increased P1.1 billion, or
13.4 percent, on higher regulatory cost, third party fees
and incentives, product related insurance premium,

The banks total resources stood at P1.45 trillion,


P254.8 billion, or 21.3 percent, higher than last years
P1.2 trillion. This increase was driven by a P187.6-billion,
or 19.0-percent, increase in total deposits, which reached
P1.2 trillion. Current and savings deposits grew P130.9
billion or 19.1 percent, while time deposits increased by
P56.7 billion, or 18.7 percent.
Total capital funds increased P40.9 billion, or
38.6 percent, to P146.7 billion from previous years
P105.8 billion. This increase in capital was largely due to
a P25-billion rights issue completed in February 2014.
Profits for the year (net of cash dividends paid) likewise
contributed to the capital growth. The banks capital
adequacy ratio, using Basel III measures, was 14.8
percent, up from last years 13.7 percent. This years
CAR remained substantially higher than the 10-percent
regulatory requirement. BPIs market capitalization
remained one of the largest in the industry at P369.6
billion. As of December 31, 2014, the banks share price
traded at a P94.00 per share, representing a premium of
2.6x its book value per share of P36.64.
Loans, net of impairment losses, increased to
P800.2 billion, an amount P170.0 billion, or 27.0 percent,
higher than last years P630.2 billion. The banks nonperforming loan ratio, at 0.50 percent, slightly increased
from its end-2013 level of 0.48 percent.
Liquid assets at P294.2 billion, declined P15.0 billion,
or 4.8 percent, largely due to lower special deposit
account with Bangko Sentral.
Investment securities, at P260.7 billion, increased
P77.0 billion from the prior years P183.7 billion. Held-tomaturities securities increased P113.2 billion, or
117.7 percent, due to the longer term orientation of the
banks additional investments, while available-for-sale
securities decreased P36.2 billion, or 41.4 percent.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

Isla Lipana & Co., a member firm of PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), the independent auditors appointed
by the stockholders, has examined the financial statements of the Bank in accordance with Philippine
Standards on Auditing, and in its report to the stockholders or members, has expressed its opinion on the
fairness of presentation upon completion of such examination.

Independent Auditors Report


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Bank of the Philippine Islands
Page 2
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Report on the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bank of the Philippine Islands
and Subsidiaries (the BPI Group) and the parent financial statements of Bank of the Philippine Islands
(the Parent Bank), which comprise the consolidated and parent statements of condition as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated and parent statements of income, statements of total
comprehensive income, statements of changes in capital funds and statements of cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and parent financial statements present fairly, in all
material respect, the financial position of the BPI Group and of the Parent Bank as at December 31, 2014
and 2013, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2014 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements


Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and parent
financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary, to enable the preparation of consolidated and parent
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and parent financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.

Report on Bureau of Internal Revenue Requirements


Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplementary information in Note 33 to the financial statements is presented
for purposes of filing with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such supplementary information is the responsibility of management and has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements. In our
opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

New and amended standards adopted by the BPI Group


The following standards have been adopted by the BPI Group effective January 1, 2014:

Amendment to PAS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation on offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. This amendment
clarifies that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event. It must also be legally enforceable for all counterparties in the
normal course of business, as well as in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. The amendment also considers settlement
mechanisms. The amendment did not have a significant effect on the BPI Groups financial statements.

Amendment to PAS 36, Impairment of assets, on the recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets. This amendment
removed certain disclosures of the recoverable amount of cash generating units (CGUs) which had been included in PAS 36 by the
issue of PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The amendment did not have a significant effect on the BPI Groups financial statements.

Amendment to PAS 39, Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement on the novation of derivatives and the continuation of
hedge accounting. This amendment considers legislative changes to over-the-counter derivatives and the establishment of central
counterparties. Under PAS 39, novation of derivatives to central counterparties would result in discontinuance of hedge accounting.
The amendment provides relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a hedging instrument meets specified criteria.
The amendment did not have a significant effect on the BPI Groups financial statements.

Other standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2014 are considered
not relevant to the BPI Group.
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after
January 1, 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these standards are expected to have a
significant effect on the financial statements of the BPI Group, except the following as set out below:

PFRS 9, Financial instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.
The complete version of PFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in PAS 39 that relates to the classification and
measurement of financial instruments. PFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary
measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through
profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entitys business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable
option at inception to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income with no recycling to profit or loss. There is now a
new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in PAS 39. For financial liabilities, there were
no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income
for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. PFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the
bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the
hedged ratio to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation
is still required but is different to that currently prepared under PAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The BPI Group is assessing the full impact of PFRS 9.

PFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers, deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful
information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
an entitys contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the
ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces PAS 18 Revenue and PAS 11
Construction contracts and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017
and earlier application is permitted. The BPI Group is assessing the impact of PFRS 15.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of trading securities,
available-for-sale financial assets and all derivative contracts.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the BPI Groups accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a
significant impact on the financial statements in the period the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying
assumptions are appropriate and that the financial statements therefore fairly present the financial position and results of the BPI Group.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial
statements are disclosed in Note 4.

BPI has control over BPI Globe BanKO, Inc. since BPI is largely involved in key decisions concerning financial and operating policies and
activities of, and provision of technological support and technical know-how to BPI Globe BanKO, Inc.

On December 23, 2014, BPI sold its 49% interest in BPI Leasing Corporation to Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation for a total
consideration of P1,744 million, thereby bringing its remaining ownership interest to 51%. The BPI Group recognized an increase in noncontrolling interest of P1,231 million and an increase in equity attributable to owners of the Parent Bank of P336 million. The name of BPI
Leasing has also been changed to BPI Century Tokyo Lease and Finance Corporation as a consequence of the sale. In addition, the
Parent Banks effective ownership in BPI Century Tokyo Rental Corporation and CityTrust Securities Corporation, both wholly-owned
subsidiaries of BPI Century Tokyo Lease and Finance Corporation, has been reduced to 51% each as at December 31, 2014.
The effect of change in the ownership interest in BPI Century Tokyo Lease and Finance Corporation on the equity attributable to owners of
BPI Parent during the year is summarized as follows:
Consideration received from non-controlling interest

Excess of consideration received recognized in equity

At BPI Parent, the gain from sale recognized in the statement of income amounts to P1,428 million.
(a)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the BPI Group has control. The BPI Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to,
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The BPI
Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and
operating policies by virtue of de-facto control. De-facto control may arise in circumstances where the size of the BPI Groups voting rights
relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other shareholders give the BPI Group the power to govern the financial and operating
policies.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the BPI Group. They are de-consolidated from the date
that control ceases.
The BPI Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the
equity interests issued by the BPI Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisitionby-acquisition basis, the BPI Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling
interests proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the BPI Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to
the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in
profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and
its subsequent settlement is not accounted for within equity.
The excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisitiondate fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the BPI Groups share of the identifiable net assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest
measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is
recognized directly in profit or loss.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses
are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the BPI Group, except for the pre-need subsidiary which follows the provisions of the PNUCA as allowed by the SEC.
When the BPI Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is
lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for purposes of
subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the BPI Group had directly disposed of the
related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or
loss.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(b)

Transactions with non-controlling interests

2.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - that is, as
transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any
consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or
losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
Interests in the equity of subsidiaries not attributable to the Parent Bank are reported in consolidated equity as non-controlling interests.
Profits or losses attributable to non-controlling interests are reported in the statement of income as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.
(c)

Associates

2.7 Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements


Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements (repos) are reclassified in the financial statements as pledged assets when the
transferee has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the collateral; the counterparty liability is included in deposits from banks or
deposits from customers, as appropriate. The difference between sale and repurchase price is treated as interest and accrued over the life
of the agreements using the effective interest method.

Associates are all entities over which the BPI Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of
between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased
or decreased to recognize the investors share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The BPI Groups investment
in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition (net of any accumulated impairment loss).

Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) are recorded as loans and advances to other banks and customers and
included in the statement of condition under Interbank loans receivable and securities purchased under agreements to resell. Securities
lent to counterparties are also retained in the financial statements.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, a proportionate share of the amounts previously
recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

2.8.1

The BPI Groups share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition
movements in reserves is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against
the carrying amount of the investment. When the BPI Groups share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the
associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the BPI Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or
constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

88

Cash and cash equivalents consist of Cash and other cash items, Due from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Due from other banks, and
Interbank loans receivable and securities purchased under agreements to resell with maturities of less than three months from the date of
acquisition and that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

The BPI Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired.
If this is the case, the BPI Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate
and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to share of profit (loss) of an associate in profit or loss.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the BPI Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the BPI Groups interest in the
associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the BPI Group.
2.4 Investments in subsidiaries and associates
Investments in subsidiaries and associates in the Parent Banks separate financial statements are accounted for using the cost method in
accordance with PAS 27. Under this method, income from investment is recognized in profit or loss only to the extent that the investor
receives distributions from accumulated profits of the investee arising after the acquisition date. Distributions received in excess of such
profits are regarded as a recovery of investment and are recognized as reduction of the cost of the investment.
The Parent Bank recognizes a dividend from a subsidiary or associate in profit or loss in its separate financial statements when its right to
receive the dividend is established.
The Parent Bank determines at each reporting date whether there is any indicator of impairment that the investment in the subsidiary or
associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Parent Bank calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable
amount and carrying value and the difference is recognized in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to be
derived from the subsidiaries and associates at which time the cost and the related accumulated impairment loss are removed in the
statement of condition. Any gains and losses on disposal is determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the
investment and recognized in profit or loss.
2.5 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief executive officer who allocates
resources to, and assesses the performance of the operating segments of the BPI Group.
All transactions between business segments are conducted on an arms length basis, with intra-segment revenue and costs being
eliminated upon consolidation. Income and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining business segment
performance.
In accordance with PFRS 8, the BPI Group has the following main banking business segments: consumer banking, corporate banking and
investment banking. Its insurance business is assessed separately from these banking business segments (Note 6).

2.8 Financial assets


Classification

The BPI Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial
assets are acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(a)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term or if it
is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern
of short-term profit-taking. Financial assets held for trading (other than derivatives) are shown as Trading securities in the statement of
condition.
Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedging instruments.
Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those that are managed and their performance is evaluated
on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented investment strategy. Information about these financial assets is provided internally
on a fair value basis to the BPI Groups key management personnel. The BPI Group has no financial assets that are specifically designated
at fair value through profit or loss.
(b)

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments: (i) that are not quoted in an active market,
(ii) with no intention of being traded, and (iii) that are not designated as available-for-sale. Significant accounts falling under this category
include loans and advances, cash and other cash items, due from BSP and other banks, interbank loans receivable and securities
purchased under agreements to resell and accounts receivable included under other resources.
(c)

Held-to-maturity securities

Held-to-maturity securities are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the BPI Groups
management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the BPI Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of
held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.
(d)

Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other
categories.
2.8.2

Recognition and measurement

(a) Initial recognition and measurement


Regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale
securities are recognized on trade date, the date on which the BPI Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Loans and receivables are
recognized upon origination when cash is advanced to the borrowers or when the right to receive payment is established. Financial assets
not carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at fair value
through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value; and transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss.

(b)

Subsequent measurement

Available-for-sale securities and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and
receivables and held-to-maturity securities are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the amount at which the financial
instrument was recognized at initial recognition less any principal repayments, plus accrued interest, and for financial assets less any writedown for incurred impairment losses. Accrued interest includes amortization of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any
premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method. Accrued interest income, including both accrued coupon and
amortized discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying
values of the related items in the statement of condition. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss are included in the statement of income (as Trading gain/loss on securities) in the year in which they arise.
Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income, until the financial asset is derecognized or impaired at which time the cumulative fair value adjustments previously
recognized in other comprehensive income should be recognized in profit or loss. However, interest is calculated on these securities using
the effective interest method and foreign currency gains and losses on monetary assets classified as available-for-sale are recognized in
profit or loss. Dividends on equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the BPI Groups right to receive payment is established.
2.8.3

Reclassification

The BPI Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative financial asset held for trading out of the held-for-trading category if the financial
asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be
reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to
recur in the near term. In addition, the BPI Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and
receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the BPI Group has the intention and ability to hold these financial
assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortized cost as applicable,
and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for
financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further
increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

2.8.4

Derecognition

For purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics (i.e., on
the basis of the BPI Groups grading process that considers asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status and
other relevant factors). Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being
indicative of the debtors ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.
Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the contractual
cash flows of the assets in the BPI Group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the BPI
Group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not
affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not
currently exist. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences
between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for loan impairment. Such loans are written off after all the
necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of loss has been determined.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtors credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss is
reversed by adjusting the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off are credited to impairment loss in
the statement of income.
(b)

Assets classified as available-for-sale

The BPI Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an objective evidence that a security classified as available-for-sale is
impaired. For debt securities, the BPI Group uses the criteria mentioned in (a) above. For an equity security classified as available-forsale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired.
Generally, the BPI Group treats significant as 20% or more and prolonged as greater than twelve months. The cumulative loss
(difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in
profit or loss) is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss when the asset is determined to be impaired. If
in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument previously impaired increases and the increase can be objectively related to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Reversal of impairment
losses recognized previously on equity instruments is made directly to other comprehensive income.

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from these assets have ceased to exist or the
assets have been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are also transferred (that is, if
substantially all the risks and rewards have not been transferred, the BPI Group tests control to ensure that continuing involvement on the
basis of any retained powers of control does not prevent derecognition).

2.10 Financial liabilities

(a)

2.10.1

Assets carried at amortized cost

Renegotiated loans

Loans that are either subject to individual or collective impairment assessment and whose terms have been renegotiated are no longer
considered to be past due but are treated as new loans.

Classification

The BPI Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is
impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence
of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event) and that loss event (or
events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The BPI Group classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial
liabilities at amortized cost.

The criteria that the BPI Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

This category comprises two sub-categories: financial liabilities classified as held for trading, and financial liabilities designated by the BPI
Group as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

Delinquency in contractual payments of principal or interest;


Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower;
Breach of loan covenants or conditions;
Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings;
Deterioration of the borrowers competitive position; and
Deterioration in the value of collateral.

The BPI Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually
significant, and collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the BPI Group determines that no objective evidence of
impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets
with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Financial assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

(a)

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the
near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent
actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated and effective as
hedging instruments. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as held for trading are included in
the statement of income and are reported as Trading gains/losses. The BPI Group has no financial liabilities that are designated at fair
value through profit loss.
(b)

Other liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and are measured at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include deposits from customers and banks, bills payable, amounts due to BSP and other
banks, managers checks and demand drafts outstanding, subordinated notes and other financial liabilities under deferred credits and other
liabilities.

The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial assets original effective interest
rate (recoverable amount). The calculation of recoverable amount of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result
from foreclosure less costs of obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable. If a loan or held-to-maturity
investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined
under the contract. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is
recognized in profit or loss.

Recognition and measurement

Initial recognition and measurement


Financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial
liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value; and transaction costs are recognized as
expense in profit or loss.

(b)

Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Other liabilities are measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.

2.10.3

Derecognition

For more complex instruments, the BPI Group uses internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and
techniques generally recognized as standard within the industry. Valuation models are used primarily to value derivatives transacted in the
OTC market, unlisted debt securities (including those with embedded derivatives) and other debt instruments for which markets were or
have become illiquid. Some of the inputs to these models may not be market observable and are therefore estimated based on
assumptions.
The fair value of OTC derivatives is determined using valuation methods that are commonly accepted in the financial markets, such as
present value techniques and option pricing models. The fair value of foreign exchange forwards is generally based on current forward
exchange rates, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
In cases when the fair value of unlisted equity instruments cannot be determined reliably, the instruments are carried at cost less
impairment. The fair value for loans and advances as well as liabilities to banks and customers are determined using a present value model
on the basis of contractually agreed cash flows, taking into account credit quality, liquidity and costs. The fair values of contingent liabilities
and irrevocable loan commitments correspond to their carrying amounts.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when they have been redeemed or otherwise extinguished (i.e. when the obligation is discharged or is
cancelled or has expired). Collateral (shares and bonds) furnished by the BPI Group under standard repurchase agreements and securities
lending and borrowing transactions is not derecognized because the BPI Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards on the basis
of the predetermined repurchase price, and the criteria for derecognition are therefore not met.

(b)

2.11 Fair value measurement

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.

Market approach - A valuation technique that uses observable inputs, such as prices, broker quotes and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or group of assets.

Income approach - A valuation technique that converts future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current
(i.e., discounted) amount. The fair value measurement is determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market
expectations about those future amounts.

Cost approach - A valuation technique that reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an
asset (often referred to as current replacement cost).

The BPI Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and applies the technique consistently. Commonly used
valuation techniques are as follows:

The fair value of a non-financial asset is measured based on its highest and best use. The assets current use is presumed to be its highest
and best use.

92

The fair value of financial and non-financial liabilities takes into account non-performance risk, which is the risk that the entity will not fulfill
an obligation.
The BPI Group classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making
the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This level includes listed equity securities and
debt instruments on exchanges (for example, Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc., Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp., etc.).

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as
prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). This level includes the majority of the over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts.
The primary source of input parameters like LIBOR yield curve or counterparty credit risk is Bloomberg.

Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level includes equity
investments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market
data when available. The BPI Group considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The BPI Group
has no assets or liabilities classified under Level 3 as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Non-financial assets or liabilities

The fair values were determined in reference to observable market inputs reflecting orderly transactions, i.e. market listings, published
broker quotes and transacted deals from similar and comparable assets, adjusted to determine the point within the range that is most
representative of the fair value under current market conditions. The fair values of BPI Groups investment properties and foreclosed assets
(shown as Assets held for sale) fall under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The BPI Group has no non-financial assets or liabilities
classified under Level 3 as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The appropriate level is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
(a)

Financial instruments

For financial instruments traded in active markets, the determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities is based on
quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. This includes listed equity securities and quoted debt instruments on major exchanges and
broker quotes mainly from Bloomberg.
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange,
dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arms length basis. If the above criteria are not met, the market is regarded as being inactive. Indications that a market is
inactive are when there is a wide bid-offer spread or significant increase in the bid-offer spread or there are few recent transactions.
For all other financial instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. In these techniques, fair values are estimated from
observable data in respect of similar financial instruments, using models to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows or
other valuation techniques, using inputs (for example, LIBOR yield curve, FX rates, volatilities and counterparty spreads) existing at
reporting dates. The BPI Group uses widely recognized valuation models for determining fair values of non-standardized financial
instruments of lower complexity, such as options or interest rate and currency swaps. For these financial instruments, inputs into models
are generally market observable.

2.14 Derivative financial instruments


Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured
at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets including recent market transactions, and valuation
techniques (for example for structured notes), including discounted cash flow models and options pricing models, as appropriate. All
derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.
Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and
risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not carried at fair value through profit or loss. The
assessment of whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract is done when the BPI Group first
becomes a party to the contract. Reassessment of embedded derivative is only done when there are changes in the contract that
significantly modify the contractual cash flows. The embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized
in profit or loss.
The BPI Groups derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that
does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the statement of income under Trading gain/loss on securities.
2.15 Bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment
Land and buildings comprise mainly of branches and offices. All bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at historical
cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset which
comprises its purchase price, import duties and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for
its intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the BPI Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the year in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation for buildings and furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate cost
or residual values over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Building
Furniture and equipment
Equipment for lease

25-50 years
3-5 years
2-8 years

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term (ranges from 5 to 10 years) and the useful life of the related
improvement (ranges from 5 to 10 years). Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Assets are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Bank
premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment with carrying value of P69 million were fully impaired as at December 31, 2014
(2013 - P56 million).
An item of Bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the period the item is derecognized.

2.16 Investment properties

(c)

Properties that are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, and that are not significantly occupied by the BPI
Group are classified as investment properties. Transfers to, and from, investment property are made when, and only when, there is a
change in use, evidenced by:

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These
costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives (three to five years). Computer software is included in Miscellaneous
assets under Other resources.

(a)
(b)

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly
attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the BPI Group are recognized as intangible
assets when the following criteria are met:

(c)
(d)

Commencement of owner-occupation, for a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property;


Commencement of development with a view of sale, for a transfer from investment property to real properties held-for-sale and
development;
End of owner occupation, for a transfer from owner-occupied property to investment property; or
Commencement of an operating lease to another party, for a transfer from real properties held-for-sale and development to investment
property.

Transfers to and from investment property do not result in gain or loss.


Investment properties comprise land and building. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation on investment property is determined using the same policy as applied to Bank premises, furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
Impairment test is conducted when there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. An impairment loss is
recognized for the amount by which the propertys carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the propertys
fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
An item of investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued
use of the asset. Any gains and losses arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the period the item is derecognized.

Computer software

it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
there is an ability to use or sell the software product;
it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available;
and
the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense when incurred. Development costs previously
recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
2.19 Impairment of non-financial assets

2.17 Foreclosed assets

96

Foreclosed assets not classified as Assets held for sale are accounted for in any of the following classification using the measurement basis
appropriate to the asset as follows:

Assets that have indefinite useful lives - for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready for use - are not subject to amortization and are
tested annually for impairment and more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. Assets that have definite useful lives are subject to
amortization and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are
grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than
goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date.

(a)

Investment property is accounted for using the cost model under PAS 40;

2.20 Borrowings and borrowing costs

(b)

Bank-occupied property is accounted for using the cost model under PAS 16; and

(c)

Financial assets are classified as available-for-sale.

The BPI Groups borrowings consist mainly of bills payable and unsecured subordinated debt. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value,
being their issue proceeds, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between
the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.

Assets foreclosed shown as Assets held for sale in the statement of condition are accounted for at the lower of cost and fair value less cost to
sell similar to the principles of PFRS 5. The cost of assets foreclosed includes the carrying amount of the related loan less allowance for
impairment at the time of foreclosure. Impairment loss is recognized for any subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less cost to sell.

2.18 Intangible assets


(a)

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost
of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. The BPI Group has no qualifying asset as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the BPI Groups share in the net identifiable assets of the
acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in Miscellaneous assets under
Other resources in the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in Investments in subsidiaries and
associates. Separately recognized goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of a
subsidiary/associate include carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiary/associate sold.
Goodwill is an indefinite-lived intangible asset and hence not subject to amortization.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each cash-generating unit is represented by each primary
reporting segment.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.
The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell.
Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(b)

Contractual customer relationships

Contractual customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The contractual
customer relationships have finite useful lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the
straight-line method over the expected life of the customer relationship.

(13)

Bank of the Philippine Islands

2.21 Interest income and expense


Interest income and expense are recognized in profit or loss for all interest-bearing financial instruments using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest
income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of
the financial asset or financial liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the BPI Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but
does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part
of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is
recognized using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss.
2.22 Fees and commission income
Fees and commissions are generally recognized on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Commission and fees arising
from negotiating or participating in the negotiation of a transaction for a third party (i.e. the arrangement of the acquisition of shares or other
securities, or the purchase or sale of businesses) are recognized on completion of underlying transactions. Portfolio and other
management advisory and service fees are recognized based on the applicable service contracts, usually on a time-proportionate basis.
Asset management fees related to investment funds are recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided.

2.28 Income taxes

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the BPI Groups right to receive payment is established.

(a)

2.24 Credit card income

Income tax payable is calculated on the basis of the applicable tax law in the respective jurisdiction and is recognized as an expense for the
year except to the extent that current tax is related to items (for example, current tax on available-for-sale investments) that are charged or
credited in other comprehensive income or directly to capital funds.

Credit card income is recognized upon receipt from merchants of charges arising from credit card transactions. These are computed based
on rates agreed with merchants and are deducted from the payments to establishments.
2.25 Foreign currency translation

The BPI Group has substantial income from its investment in government securities subject to final withholding tax. Such income is presented
at its gross amount and the final tax paid or withheld is included in Provision for income tax - Current.

(a)

(b)

Functional and presentation currency

Items in the financial statements of each entity in the BPI Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Parent Banks
functional and presentation currency.
(b)

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions
or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from
the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or
loss. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated at exchange rates as at the date of
initial recognition. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value is determined.

98

Current income tax

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analyzed between
translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security, and other changes in the carrying amount of the
security. Translation differences are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other
comprehensive income.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial instruments, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part
of the fair value gain or loss recognized under Trading gain (Ioss) in the statement of income. Translation differences on non-monetary
financial instruments, such as equities classified as available-for-sale, are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
the capital funds.
(c)

Foreign subsidiaries

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts in the financial statements. The deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in
a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax losses (net operating loss
carryover or NOLCO) and unused tax credits (excess minimum corporate income tax or MCIT) to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. Deferred
income tax liabilities are recognized in full for all taxable temporary differences except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from
the initial recognition of goodwill.
The BPI Group reassesses at each reporting date the need to recognize a previously unrecognized deferred income tax asset.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, and associates and
joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit
available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, and associates and joint
arrangements, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the BPI Group
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the BPI Group is unable to control the
reversal of the temporary difference for associates except when there is an agreement in place that gives the BPI Group the ability to control the
reversal of the temporary difference.

The results and financial position of BPIs foreign subsidiaries (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the
taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

(i)

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at reporting date;

2.29 Employee benefits

(ii)

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates
of the transactions); and

(a)

(iii)

all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component (Translation adjustments) of Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in the capital funds. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognized in
profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

2.26 Accrued expenses and other liabilities


Accrued expenses and other liabilities are recognized in the period in which the related money, goods or services are received or when a legally
enforceable claim against the BPI Group is established.
2.27 Provisions for legal or contractual obligations
Provisions are recognized when all of the following conditions are met: (i) the BPI Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the amount has been reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the
class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item is included in the
same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that
reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Pension obligations

The BPI Group has a defined benefit plan that shares risks among entities within the group. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that
defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age,
years of service and compensation.
The liability recognized in the statement of condition in respect of defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent
actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the
estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be
paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in
other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
For individual financial reporting purposes, the unified plan assets are allocated among the BPI Group entities based on the level of the
defined benefit obligation attributable to each entity to arrive at the net liability or asset that should be recognized in the individual financial
statements.
(b)

Share-based compensation

The BPI Group engages in equity-settled share-based payment transactions in respect of services received from certain employees.
The fair value of the services received is measured by reference to the fair value of the shares or share options granted on the date of the
grant. The cost of employee services received in respect of the shares or share options granted is recognized in profit or loss (with a
corresponding increase in reserve in capital funds) over the period that the services are received, which is the vesting period.

2014 Annual Report

(16)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The fair value of the options granted is determined using option pricing models which take into account the exercise price of the option, the
current share price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the share price over the life of the option and other relevant factors.

(b)

(i)

When the stock options are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital
(par value) and share premium for the excess of exercise price over par value.
(c)

Operating lease
Properties (land and building) leased out under operating leases are included in Investment properties in the statement of
condition. Rental income under operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the
lease.

Profit sharing and bonus plans


(ii)

The BPI Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the
profit attributable to the Parent Banks shareholders after certain adjustments. The BPI Group recognizes a provision where contractually
obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Finance lease
When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognized as a receivable. The
difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognized as unearned finance income.

2.30 Capital funds

Lease income under finance lease is recognized over the term of the lease using the net investment method before tax, which
reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

Common shares and preferred shares are classified as share capital.


Share premium includes any premiums or consideration received in excess of par value on the issuance of share capital.

2.35 Insurance and pre-need operations

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in capital funds as a deduction from the proceeds,
net of tax.

(a)

2.31 Earnings per share (EPS)


Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year with retroactive adjustments for stock dividends. In case of a rights issue, an adjustment factor is being considered for the
weighted average number of shares outstanding for all periods before the rights issue. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as
basic EPS, however, net income attributable to common shares and the weighted average number of shares outstanding are adjusted for
the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

BPI Group is the lessor

2.32 Dividends on common shares


Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability in the BPI Groups financial statements in the period in which the dividends are
approved by the Board of Directors and the BSP.

Non-life insurance

The more significant accounting policies observed by the non-life insurance subsidiaries follow: (a) gross premiums written from short-term
insurance contracts are recognized at the inception date of the risks underwritten and are earned over the period of cover in accordance with
the incidence of risk using the 24th method; (b) acquisition costs are deferred and charged to expense in proportion to the premium revenue
recognized; reinsurance commissions are deferred and deducted from the applicable deferred acquisition costs, subject to the same
amortization method as the related acquisition costs; (c) a liability adequacy test is performed which compares the subsidiaries reported
insurance contract liabilities against current best estimates of all contractual future cash flows and claims handling, and policy
administration expenses as well as investment income backing up such liabilities, with any deficiency immediately charged to profit or loss;
(d) amounts recoverable from reinsurers and loss adjustment expenses are classified as assets, with an allowance for estimated uncollectible
amounts; and (e) financial assets and liabilities are measured following the classification and valuation provisions of PAS 39.
(b)

101

Pre-need

The BPI Group commonly acts as trustee and in other fiduciary capacities that result in the holding or placing of assets on behalf of individuals,
trusts, retirement benefit plans and other institutions. These assets and income arising thereon are excluded from these financial statements, as
they are not assets of the BPI Group (Note 29).

The more significant provisions of the PNUCA as applied by the pre-need subsidiary follow: (a) premium income from sale of pre-need
plans is recognized as earned when collected; (b) costs of contracts issued and other direct costs and expenses are recognized as expense
when incurred; (c) pre-need reserves which represent the accrued net liabilities of the subsidiary to its plan holders are actuarially computed
based on standards and guidelines set forth by the Insurance Commission; the increase or decrease in the account is charged or credited
to other costs of contracts issued in profit or loss; and (d) insurance premium reserves which represent the amount that must be set aside
by the subsidiary to pay for premiums for insurance coverage of fully paid plan holders, are actuarially computed based on standards and
guidelines set forth by the Insurance Commission.

2.34 Leases

2.36 Related party relationships and transactions

(a)

Related party relationship exists when one party has the ability to control, directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the other
party or exercises significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Such relationship also exists between
and/or among entities which are under common control with the reporting enterprise, or between and/or among the reporting enterprise and its
key management personnel, directors, or its shareholders. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the
substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form.

2.33 Fiduciary activities

BPI Group is the lessee


(i)

Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are classified
as operating leases. Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the
lessor) are charged to Occupancy and equipment-related expenses in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the
period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be
made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognized as an expense in the period in which the termination takes place.

(ii)

Finance lease
Leases of assets, where the BPI Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the
present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as
to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to profit or loss
over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

2.37 Comparatives
Except when a standard or an interpretation permits or requires otherwise, all amounts are reported or disclosed with comparative information.
Where PAS 8 applies, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year. There were no
changes to the presentation made during the year.
2.38

Reclassification

Certain amounts have been reclassified in the statement of condition to conform with the current years presentation. This is not considered
material and did not change the amount of total resources as at December 31, 2013.
2.39 Subsequent events (or Events after the reporting date)
Post year-end events that provide additional information about the BPI Groups financial position at the reporting date (adjusting events) are
reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to financial statements when

Note 3 - Financial Risk and Capital Management

(b)

Risk management in the BPI Group covers all perceived areas of risk exposure, even as it continuously endeavors to uncover hidden risks.
Capital management is understood to be a facet of risk management. The Board of Directors, through its Risk Management Committee
(RMC), sets the BPI Groups management tone by specifying the parameters by which financial and business risks are to be taken and by
allocating the appropriate capital for absorbing potential losses from such risks.

For debt securities and other bills, external ratings such as Standard & Poors, Moodys and Fitchs ratings or their equivalents are used by
the BPI Group for managing credit risk exposures. Investments in these securities and bills are viewed as a way to gain better credit quality
mix and at the same time, maintain a readily available source to meet funding requirements.

The primary objective of the BPI Group is the generation of recurring acceptable returns to shareholders capital. To this end, the BPI Groups
policies, business strategies, and business activities are directed towards the generation of cash flows that are in excess of its fiduciary and
contractual obligations to its depositors, and to its various other funders and stakeholders.

3.1.2 Risk limit control and mitigation policies


The BPI Group manages, limits and controls concentrations of credit risk wherever they are identified - in particular, to individual
counterparties and groups, to industries and sovereigns.

To generate acceptable returns to its shareholders capital, the BPI Group understands that it has to bear risk, that risk-taking is inherent in its
business. Risk is understood by the BPI Group as the uncertainty in its future income - an uncertainty that emanates from the possibility of
incurring losses that are due to unplanned and unexpected drops in revenues, increases in expenses, impairment of asset values, or increases
in liabilities.

The BPI Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower,
or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a regular basis and subjected to annual or
more frequent review, when considered necessary. Limits on large exposures and credit concentration are approved by the Board of
Directors.

The possibility of incurring losses is, however, compensated by the possibility of earning more than expected income. Risk-taking is, therefore,
not entirely bad to be avoided. Risk-taking presents opportunities if risks are accounted, deliberately taken, and are kept within rationalized
limits.

The exposure to any one borrower is further restricted by sub-limits covering on- and off-balance sheet exposures. Actual exposures against
limits are monitored regularly.

The most important risks that the BPI Group manages are credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and other operational and information technology
(IT) risks.

The BPI Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will cause a financial loss to the BPI Group by failing to
discharge an obligation. Significant changes in the economy, or in the prospects of a particular industry segment that may represent a
concentration in the BPI Groups portfolio, could result in losses that are different from those provided for at the reporting date. Management
therefore carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally in loans and advances, debt securities and other bills.
There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial arrangements. The Credit Policy Group works with the Credit Committee in managing
credit risk, and reports are regularly provided to the Board of Directors.

Loans and advances

Collateral

One of the most traditional and common practice in mitigating credit risk is requiring security particularly for loans and advances. The BPI
Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral for credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for
loans and advances are:
Mortgages over real estate properties and chattels; and
Hold-out on financial instruments such as debt securities deposits, and equities

In order to minimize credit loss, the BPI Group seeks additional collateral from the counterparty when impairment indicators are observed
for the relevant individual loans and advances.

In measuring credit risk of loans and advances at a counterparty level, the BPI Group considers three components: (i) the probability of
default by the client or counterparty on its contractual obligations; (ii) current exposures to the counterparty and its likely future
development; and (iii) the likely recovery ratio on the defaulted obligations. In the evaluation process, the BPI Group also considers the
conditions of the industry/sector to which the counterparty is exposed, other existing exposures to the group where the counterparty may be
related, as well as the client and the BPI Groups fallback position assuming the worst-case scenario. Outstanding and potential credit
exposures are reviewed to likewise ensure that they conform to existing internal credit policies.
The BPI Group assesses the probability of default of individual counterparties using internal rating tools tailored to the various categories of
counterparty. The BPI Group has internal credit risk rating systems, designed for corporate, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs),
and retail accounts, that measure the borrower's credit risk based on quantitative and qualitative factors. The ratings of individual
exposures may subsequently migrate between classes as the assessment of their probabilities of default changes. For retail, the consumer
credit scoring system is a formula-based model for evaluating each credit application against a set of characteristics that experience has
shown to be relevant in predicting repayment. The BPI Group regularly validates the performance of the rating systems and their predictive
power with regard to default events, and enhances them if necessary. The BPI Group's internal ratings are mapped to the following
standard BSP classifications:

Unclassified - these are loans that do not have a greater-than-normal risk and do not possess the characteristics of loans classified
below. The counterparty has the ability to satisfy the obligation in full and therefore minimal loss, if any, is anticipated.

Loans especially mentioned - these are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve managements close attention. These
potential weaknesses, if left uncorrected, may affect the repayment of the loan and thus increase the credit risk of the BPI Group.

Substandard - these are loans which appear to involve a substantial degree of risk to the BPI Group because of unfavorable record or
unsatisfactory characteristics. Further, these are loans with well-defined weaknesses which may include adverse trends or
development of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or a significant deterioration in collateral.

Doubtful - these are loans which have the weaknesses similar to those of the substandard classification with added characteristics that
existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and substantial loss is probable.

Loss - these are loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not
warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value.

(19)

(a)

3.1.1 Credit risk management


(a)

Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular analysis of the ability of existing and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital
repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate.
The BPI Group employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. Some of these specific control and mitigation measures are
outlined below.

3.1 Credit risk

102

Debt securities and other bills

(b)

Derivatives

The BPI Group maintains strict market limits on net open derivative positions (i.e., the difference between purchase and sale contracts). Credit
risk is limited to the net current fair value of instruments, which in relation to derivatives is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional values
used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with
customers, together with potential exposures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for credit risk
exposures on these instruments (except where the BPI Group requires margin deposits from counterparties).
Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities, foreign exchange currencies, or equities is made in the expectation
of a corresponding receipt in cash, securities, foreign exchange currencies, or equities. Daily settlement limits are established for each
counterparty to cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the BPI Groups market transactions on any single day. The introduction
of the delivery versus payment facility in the local market has brought down settlement risk significantly.
(c)

Master netting arrangements

The BPI Group further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties with which it
undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master netting arrangements do not generally result in an offset of balance sheet assets and
liabilities, as transactions are usually settled on a gross basis. However, the credit risk associated with favorable contracts (asset position) is
reduced by a master netting arrangement to the extent that if a default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a
net basis. The BPI Groups overall exposure to credit risk on derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements can change
substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

(d)

Credit-related commitments

3.1.4 Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements

The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Standby letters of credit carry the
same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit - which are written undertakings by the BPI Group on behalf of a
customer authorizing a third party to draw drafts on the BPI Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions - are
collateralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.

Credit risk exposures relating to significant on-balance sheet financial assets are as follows:
Consolidated

Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans, or letters of credit. With respect
to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the BPI Group is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused
commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments, as most commitments to extend credit are
contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The BPI Group monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because
longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

3.2 Market risk
The BPI Group is exposed to market risk - the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk is managed by the RMO guided by policies and procedures approved by the RMC and confirmed by
the Executive Committee/Board of Directors.
Market risk management
Market risk management is incumbent on the Board of Directors through its RMC. Market risk management in BPI covers managing exposures
to trading risk, foreign exchange risk, counterparty credit risk, interest rate risk of the banking book and liquidity risk. At the management level,
the Banks market risk exposure is managed by the Risk Management Office (RMO), headed by the Banks Chief Risk Officer (CRO) who
reports directly to the RMC. In addition, Internal Audit is responsible for the independent review of risk assessment measures and procedures
and the control environment.
The BPI Group reviews and controls market risk exposures of both its trading and non-trading portfolios. Trading portfolios include those
positions arising from the BPI Groups market-making transactions. Non-trading portfolios primarily arise from the interest rate management
of the BPI Groups retail and commercial banking assets and liabilities.
As part of the management of market risk, the BPI Group undertakes various hedging strategies. The BPI Group also enters into interest
rate swaps to match the interest rate risk associated with fixed-rate long-term debt securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Value-at-Risk (VaR) measurement is an integral part of the BPI Groups market risk control system. This metric estimates, at 99%
confidence level, the maximum loss that a trading portfolio may incur over a trading day. This metric indicates as well that there is 1%
statistical probability that the trading portfolios actual loss would be greater than the computed VaR. In order to ensure model soundness,
the VaR is periodically subject to model validation and back testing. VaR is supplemented by other risk metrics and measurements that
would provide preliminary signals to Treasury and to the management to assess the vulnerability of Banks positions. To control the risk, the
RMC sets risk limits for trading portfolios which are consistent with the Banks goals, objectives, risk appetite, and strategy.
Stress tests indicate the potential losses that could arise in extreme conditions that would have detrimental effect to the Banks positions. The
Bank periodically performs stress testing (price risk and liquidity risk) to assess the Banks condition on assumed stress scenarios. Contingency
plans are frequently reviewed to ensure the Banks preparedness in the event of real stress. Results of stress tests are reviewed by senior
management and by the RMC.

The BPI Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing exchange rates on its foreign currency financial position and
cash flows. The table below summarizes the BPI Groups exposure to more material foreign currency exchange rate risk at December 31, 2014
and 2013. Included in the table are the BPI Groups financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorized by currency.

Interest rate risk

There are two types of interest rate risk: (i) fair value interest risk and (ii) cash flow interest risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the
fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the
future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The BPI Group takes on exposure to the
effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on both its fair value which affects mainly the BPI Groups trading securities
portfolio and cash flow risks on available-for-sale securities portfolio which is carried at market.
Interest rate risk in the banking book arises from the BPI Groups core banking activities. The main source of this type of interest rate risk is
repricing risk, which reflects the fact that the BPI Groups assets and liabilities are of different maturities and are priced at different interest rates.
Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may also result in losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The
Board of Directors sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate repricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored monthly by the
FRMC.

The BSVaR estimates the riskiness of the balance sheet and compares the degree of risk taking activity in the banking books from one period
to the next. In consideration of the static framework, and the fact that income from the positions is accrued rather than generated from markingto-market, the probable loss (that may be exceeded 1% of the time) that is indicated by the BSVaR is not realized in accounting income.

3.3 Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the BPI Group will be unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall
due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfill
commitments to lend.
3.3.1

Total financial liabilities

(39)

In order to measure the interest rate risk in the banking book, the BPI Group employs Balance Sheet VaR (BSVaR) which measures impact of
interest rate movements on the economic value of equity. The BSVaR is founded on re-pricing gaps, or the difference between the amounts of
rate sensitive assets and the amounts of rate sensitive liabilities. An asset or liability is considered to be rate-sensitive if the interest rate applied
to the outstanding principal balance changes (either contractually or because of a change in a reference rate) during the interval.

Liquidity risk management process

The BPI Groups liquidity management process, as carried out within the BPI Group and monitored by the RMC includes:

Day-to-day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met. This includes replenishment of
funds as they mature or as borrowed by customers;
Maintaining a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can easily be liquidated as protection against any unforeseen interruption to
cash flow;
Monitoring liquidity gaps against internal and regulatory requirements (Note 19);
Managing the concentration and profile of debt maturities; and
Performing periodic liquidity stress testing on the BPI Groups liquidity position by assuming a faster rate of withdrawals in its deposit
base.

Monitoring and reporting take the form of cash flow measurement and projections for the next day, week and month as these are key
periods for liquidity management. The starting point for these projections is an analysis of the contractual maturity of the financial liabilities
(Notes 3.3.3 and 3.3.4) and the expected collection date of the financial assets.
The BPI Group also monitors unmatched medium-term assets, the level and type of undrawn lending commitments, the usage of overdraft
facilities and the impact of contingent liabilities such as standby letters of credit.
3.3.2

Funding approach

Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by the BPI Group to maintain a wide diversification by currency, geography, counterparty,
product and term.

Non-derivative cash flows

The table below presents the maturity profile of non-derivative financial instruments based on undiscounted cash flows, including interest,
which the BPI Group uses to manage the inherent liquidity risk. The maturity analysis is based on the remaining period from the end of the
reporting period to the contractual maturity date or, if earlier, the expected date the financial asset will be realized or the financial liability will
be settled.

Assets held for sale, net

Cash and other cash items, due from BSP and other banks and interbank loans receivable and SPAR

The fair value of floating rate placements and overnight deposits approximates their carrying amount. The estimated fair value of fixed
interest bearing deposits is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money-market interest rates for debts with similar credit risk
and remaining maturity. All of these financial assets have a maturity of one year, thus their fair values approximate their carrying amounts.
(ii)

Investment securities

Fair value of held-to-maturity assets is based on market prices or broker/dealer price quotations. Where this information is not available,
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics.
(iii) Loans and advances
The estimated fair value of loans and advances represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received.
Expected cash flows are discounted with the use of assumptions regarding appropriate credit spread for the loan, derived from other market
instruments.
(iv) Financial liabilities
The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes non-interest-bearing deposits, is the amount repayable on
demand.

The non-life insurance entities decide on the retention, or the absolute amount that they are ready to assume insurance risk from one event.
The retention amount is a function of capital, experience, actuarial study and risk appetite or aversion.
In excess of the retention, these entities arrange reinsurances either thru treaties or facultative placements. They also accredit reinsurers
based on certain criteria and set limits as to what can be reinsured. The reinsurance treaties and the accreditation of reinsurers require
Board of Directors approval.
3.7 Capital management
Cognizant of its exposure to risks, the BPI Group understands that it must maintain sufficient capital to absorb unexpected losses, to stay in
business for the long haul, and to satisfy regulatory requirements. The BPI Group further understands that its performance, as well as the
performance of its various units, should be measured in terms of returns generated vis--vis allocated capital and the amount of risk borne
in the conduct of business.

2014 Annual Report

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The BPI Group manages its capital following the framework of Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Accord II (Basel II) and its
implementation in the Philippines by the BSP. The BSP through its Circular 538 requires each bank and its financial affiliated subsidiaries to
keep its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) - the ratio of qualified capital to risk-weighted exposures - to be no less than 10%. In quantifying its
CAR, BPI currently uses the Standardized Approach (for credit risk and market risk) and the Basic Indicator Approach (for operational risk).
Capital adequacy reports are filed with the BSP every quarter.
Qualifying capital and risk-weighted assets are computed based on BSP regulations. The qualifying capital of the Parent Bank consists of
core tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital comprises paid-up capital stock, paid-in surplus, surplus including net income for the year,
surplus reserves and minority interest less deductions such as deferred income tax, unsecured credit accommodations to DOSRI, goodwill
and unrealized fair value losses on available-for-sale securities. Tier 2 capital includes net unrealized fair value gains on available-for-sale
investments and general loan loss provisions for BSP reporting purposes.
The Basel II framework following BSP Circular 538 took into effect on July 1, 2007 and was relevant until 2013.
Effective January 1, 2014, the BSP, through its Circular 781, requires each bank and its financial affiliated subsidiaries to adopt new capital
requirements in accordance with the provisions of Basel III. The new guidelines are meant to strengthen the composition of the Bank's
capital by increasing the level of core capital and regulatory capital. The Circular sets out minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio and
Tier 1 Capital ratios of 6.0% and 7.5%, respectively. A capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, comprised of CET1 capital, was likewise
imposed. The minimum required capital adequacy ratio remains at 10% which includes the capital conservation buffer.
In addition, existing capital requirements as at December 31, 2010 which do not meet the eligibility criteria for capital instruments under the
revised capital framework shall no longer be recognized as capital upon the effectivity of Basel III.
The table below summarizes the CAR under the Basel III and Basel II framework for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively.

The BPI Group has fully complied with the CAR requirement of the BSP.
Likewise, the BPI Group manages the capital of its non-life insurance subsidiaries, pre-need subsidiary and securities dealer subsidiaries in
accordance with the capital requirements of the relevant regulatory agency, such as Insurance Commission, Philippine SEC and PSE. These
subsidiaries have fully complied with the relevant capital requirements.
As part of the reforms of the PSE to expand capital market and improve transparency among listed firms, PSE requires listed entities to
maintain a minimum of ten percent (10%) of their issued and outstanding shares, exclusive of any treasury shares, held by the public. The
Parent Bank has fully complied with this requirement.
Note 4 - Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The BPI Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are
continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. It is reasonably possible that the outcomes within the next financial year could differ from assumptions
made at reporting date and could result in the adjustment to the carrying amount of affected assets or liabilities.

A. Critical accounting estimates


(i)

Impairment losses on loans and advances (Note 13)

The BPI Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment on a regular basis. In determining whether an impairment loss should be
recorded in profit or loss, the BPI Group makes judgments as to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that
portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a
group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group. Management uses estimates based on
historical loss experience for loans with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when
scheduling its future cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are
reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. To the extent that the net present value of
estimated cash flows of individually impaired accounts and the estimated impairment for collectively assessed accounts differs by +/- 5%,
impairment provision for the year ended December 31, 2014 would be an estimated P524 million (2013 - P428 million) higher or lower.
(ii)

Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments (Notes 3.4 and 9)

The fair values of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using generally accepted valuation techniques.
Where valuation techniques (for example, discounted cash flow models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically
reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the area that created them. Inputs used in these models are from observable data and quoted
market prices in respect of similar financial instruments.
All models are approved by the Board of Directors before they are used, and models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data
and comparative market prices. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial instruments. The BPI
Group considers that it is impracticable to disclose with sufficient reliability the possible effects of sensitivities surrounding the fair value of
financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets.
(iii) Pension liability on defined benefit plan (Note 28)
The BPI Group estimates its pension benefit obligation and expense for defined benefit pension plans based on the selection of certain
assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 28 and include, among others, the
discount rate and future salary increases. The BPI Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the
interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the
retirement obligations. The present value of the defined benefit obligations of the BPI Group at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are
determined using the market yields on Philippine government bonds with terms consistent with the expected payments of employee
benefits. Plan assets are invested in either equity securities, debt securities or other forms of investments. Equity markets may experience
volatility, which could affect the value of pension plan assets. This volatility may make it difficult to estimate the long-term rate of return on
plan assets. Actual results that differ from the BPI Groups assumptions are reflected as remeasurements in other comprehensive income.
The BPI Groups assumptions are based on actual historical experience and external data regarding compensation and discount rate
trends. The sensitivity analysis on key assumptions is disclosed in Note 28.
(iv) Valuation of assets held for sale
In determining the fair value of assets held for sale, the BPI Group analyzed the sales prices by applying appropriate units of comparison,
adjusted by differences between the subject asset or property and related market data. Should there be a subsequent write-down of the
asset to fair value less cost to sell, such write-down is recognized as impairment loss in the statement of income.
In 2014, the BPI Group has recognized an impairment loss on its foreclosed assets amounting to P65 million (2013 - P599 million) as a
result of reduction in fair market values.
The BPI Group considers that it is impracticable to disclose with sufficient reliability the possible effects of sensitivities surrounding the fair
value of assets held for sale.
B. Critical accounting judgments
(i)

Impairment of available-for-sale securities (Note 11)

The BPI Group follows the guidance of PAS 39 to determine when an available-for-sale security is impaired. This determination requires
significant judgment. In making this judgment, the BPI Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of
an investment is less than its cost; and the financial health and near-term business outlook of the issuer, including factors such as industry and
sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flows.
(ii)

Classification of held-to-maturity securities (Note 12)

The BPI Group follows the guidance of PAS 39 in classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed
maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the BPI Group evaluates its intention
and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the BPI Group fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific
circumstances - for example selling an insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-forsale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value and not at amortized cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(iii) Classification of assets held for sale

Management follows the principles in PFRS 5 in classifying certain foreclosed assets (consisting of real estate and auto or chattel), as assets
held for sale when the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered principally through sale. Management is committed to a plan to sell
these foreclosed assets and the assets are actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value.

Corporate Banking - this segment consists of the entire lending, leasing, trade and cash management services provided by the BPI Group
to corporate and institutional customers. These customers include both high-end corporations as well as various middle market clients.

Investment Banking - this segment includes the various business groups operating in the investment markets and dealing in activities
other than lending and deposit taking. These services cover corporate finance, securities distribution, asset management, trust and
fiduciary services as well as proprietary trading and investment activities.

(iv) Realization of deferred income tax assets (Note 17)


Management reviews at each reporting date the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is
reduced to the extent that the related tax assets cannot be utilized due to insufficient taxable profit against which the deferred tax losses will be
applied. Management believes that sufficient taxable profit will be generated to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.

The BPI Group and the Parent Bank mainly derive revenue (more than 90%) within the Philippines, accordingly, no geographical segment
is presented.

Note 6 - Business Segments


Operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the chief executive officer, who is responsible for
allocating resources to the reportable segments and assessing their performance. All operating segments used by the BPI Group meet the
definition of a reportable segment under PFRS 8.
The BPI Group has determined the operating segments based on the nature of the services provided and the different markets served
representing a strategic business unit.
The BPI Groups main operating business segments follow:

(55)

Consumer Banking - this segment addresses the individual and retail markets. It covers deposit taking and servicing, consumer lending
such as home mortgages, auto loans and credit card finance as well as the remittance business. It includes the entire transaction
processing and service delivery infrastructure consisting of the BPI and BPI Family Bank network of branches, ATMs and point-of-sale
terminals as well as phone and Internet-based banking platforms.

Bank of the Philippine Islands

The performance of the Parent Bank is assessed as a single unit using financial information presented in the separate or Parent only financial
statements. Likewise, the chief executive officer assesses the performance of its insurance business as a separate segment from its banking
and allied financial undertakings. Information on the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the insurance business is fully disclosed in
Note 5.

Revenues of the BPI Groups segment operations are derived from interest (net interest income). The segment report forms part of
managements assessment of the performance of the segment, among other performance indicators.
There were no changes in the reportable segments during the year. Transactions between the business segments are carried out at arms
length. The revenue from external parties reported to management is measured in a manner consistent with that in profit or loss until 2013.
Funds are ordinarily allocated between segments, resulting in funding cost transfers disclosed in inter-segment net interest income. Interest
charged for these funds is based on the BPI Groups cost of capital. The funds transfer pricing (FTP) prior to 2014 was computed on a gross
basis. In 2014, the manner of reporting has changed, in which interest income and interest expense are no longer presented separately,
considering that the calculation of FTP shifted from gross to net. In addition, majority of the segments revenues are from interest and the chief
executive officer relies primarily on net interest income to assess the performance of the segments and to make decisions concerning the
segments.
Internal charges and transfer pricing adjustments have been reflected in the performance of each business. Revenue-sharing agreements are
used to allocate external customer revenues to a business segment on a reasonable basis. Inter-segment revenues however, are deemed
insignificant for financial reporting purposes, thus, not reported in segment analysis below.
The BPI Groups management reporting is based on a measure of operating profit comprising net income, loan impairment charges, fee and
commission income, other income and non-interest income.
Segment assets and liabilities comprise majority of operating assets and liabilities, measured in a manner consistent with that shown in the
statement of condition, but exclude items such as taxation.
The segment assets, liabilities and results of operations of the reportable segments of the BPI Group as at and for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Foreign exchange forwards represent commitments to purchase or sell one currency against another at an agreed forward rate on a
specified date in the future. Settlement can be made via full delivery of forward proceeds or via payment of the difference (nondeliverable forward) between the contracted forward rate and the prevailing market rate on maturity.

Foreign exchange swaps refer to spot purchase or sale of one currency against another with an agreement to sell or purchase the
same currency at an agreed forward rate in the future.

Interest rate swaps refer to agreement to exchange fixed rate versus floating interest payments (or vice versa) on a reference notional
amount over an agreed period of time.

Cross currency swaps refer to spot exchange of notional amounts on two currencies at a given exchange rate and with an agreement
to re-exchange the same notional amounts at a specified maturity date based on the original exchange rate. Parties on the transaction
agree to pay a stated interest rate on the borrowed notional amount and receive a stated interest rate on the lent notional amount,
payable or receivable periodically over the term of the transaction.

Credit-Linked Notes (CLNs) are structured notes whose value is derived from the creditworthiness of an underlying reference entity. A
CLN may be viewed as a bundled note that consists of a bond and a credit default swap, allowing the issuer to transfer the credit risk of a
reference entity to the investor during the reference period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The BPI Groups credit risk represents the potential cost to replace the swap contracts if counterparties fail to fulfill their obligation. This risk
is monitored on an ongoing basis with reference to the current fair value, a proportion of the notional amount of the contracts and the
liquidity of the market. To control the level of credit risk taken, the BPI Group assesses counterparties using the same techniques as for its
lending activities.
The notional amounts of certain types of financial instruments provide a basis for comparison with instruments recognized on the statement
of condition. They do not necessarily represent the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair values of the instruments and
therefore are not indicative of the BPI Groups exposure to credit or price risks. The derivative instruments become favorable (assets) or
unfavorable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates or foreign exchange rates relative to their terms. The aggregate
contractual or notional amount of derivative financial instruments on hand and the extent at which the instruments can become favorable or
unfavorable in fair values can fluctuate significantly from time to time.
The contract/ notional amount and fair values of derivative instruments held as at December 31 are set out below:

Currency forwards

2014 Annual Report

(62)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On January 9, 2014, the BPI Group reclassified certain available-for-sale securities aggregating P63.4 billion to held-to-maturity category.
The reclassification was triggered by managements change in intention over the securities in the light of volatile market prices due to rising
interest rate environment. Management believes that despite the market uncertainties, the BPI Group has the capability to hold those
reclassified securities until maturity dates.
The aggregate fair value loss of those securities at reclassification dates that are still recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive
income (under Capital funds), and which will be amortized over the remaining lives of the instruments using the effective interest rate
method amounts to P4,534 million. Unamortized fair value loss as at December 31, 2014 amounts to P4,201 million. Fair value gain
that would have been recognized in other comprehensive income if the available-for-sale securities had not been reclassified
amounts to P3,678 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. There are no gains or losses recognized in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income.

(or peso equivalent of P9.2 billion) was further reclassified from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The reclassification was triggered by
managements change in intention over the securities in the light of volatile market prices due to global economic downturn. Management
believes that despite the market uncertainties, the BPI Group has the capability to hold those reclassified securities until maturity dates.
The aggregate fair value loss of those securities at reclassification dates still recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (under
Capital funds), and which will be amortized over the remaining lives of the instruments using the effective interest rate method amounts to
P1,757 million. Unamortized fair value loss as at December 31, 2014 amounts to P269 million (2013 - P371 million). Fair value loss that would
have been recognized in other comprehensive income if the available-for-sale securities had not been reclassified amounts to P123 million for

The BPI Group, through BPI Leasing Century Tokyo Lease and Finance Corporation, mainly leases out vehicle and equipment under various
finance lease agreements which typically run for a non-cancellable period of two to five years. The contracts generally include an option to
purchase the leased asset after the lease period at a price that generally lies between 5% to 20% of the fair value of the asset at the
inception of the lease. In the event that the residual value of the leased asset exceeds the guaranteed deposit liability at the end of the
lease term, the BPI Group receives additional payment from the lessee prior to the transfer of the leased asset. On the other hand, the BPI
Group sets up a liability to the lessee for any excess of the guaranteed deposit liability over residual value of the leased asset.
The Parent Bank has no finance lease receivables as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

BPI and its subsidiaries, and a non-life insurance subsidiary have separate trusteed, noncontributory retirement benefit plans covering all
qualified officers and employees. The description of the plans follows:
BPI
BPI has a unified plan which includes its subsidiaries other than insurance companies. Under this plan, the normal retirement age is 60
years. Normal retirement benefit consists of a lump sum benefit equivalent to 200% of the basic monthly salary of the employee at the time
of his retirement for each year of service, if he has rendered at least 10 years of service, or to 150% of his basic monthly salary, if he has
rendered less than 10 years of service. For voluntary retirement, the benefit is equivalent to 112.50% of the employees basic monthly
salary for a minimum of 10 years of service with the rate factor progressing to a maximum of 200% of basic monthly salary for service years
of 25 or more. Death or disability benefit, on the other hand, shall be determined on the same basis as in voluntary retirement.

The net defined benefit cost and contributions to be paid by the entities within the BPI Group are determined by an independent actuary.
Plan assets are held in trusts, governed by local regulations and practice in the Philippines.
Non-life insurance subsidiary
BPI/MS has a separate trusteed defined benefit plan. Under the plan, the normal retirement age is 60 years or the employee should have
completed at least 10 years of service, whichever is earlier. The normal retirement benefit is equal to 150% of the final basic monthly salary
for each year of service for below 10 years and 175% of the final basic monthly salary for each year of service for 10 years and above.
Death or disability benefit for all employees of the non-life insurance subsidiary shall be determined on the same basis as in normal or
voluntary retirement as the case may be.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Pension plan assets of the unified retirement plan include investment in BPIs common shares with carrying amount of P958 million
(2013 - P1,232 million) and fair value of P2,365 million at December 31, 2014 (2013 - P2,750 million). Realized and unrealized gains
coming from BPIs common shares amount to P489 million and P1,407 million in 2014, respectively (2013 - P474 million and
P1,518 million). The actual return on plan assets of the BPI Group was P1,040 million in 2014 (2013 - P257 million). An officer of the Parent
Bank exercises the voting rights over the plans investment in BPIs common shares.

Assumptions regarding future mortality and disability experience are based on published statistics generally used for local actuarial
valuation purposes.
The defined benefit plan typically exposes the BPI Group to a number of risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk and salary risk. The
most significant of which relate to investment and interest rate risk. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the
benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. A decrease in government bond
yields will increase the defined benefit obligation although this will also be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans fixed income
holdings. Hence, the present value of defined benefit obligation is directly affected by the discount rate to be applied by the BPI Group.
However, the BPI Group believes that due to the long-term nature of the pension liability and the strength of the BPI Group itself, the mix of debt
and equity securities holdings of the plan is an appropriate element of the BPI Groups long term strategy to manage the plan efficiently.
The BPI Group ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching framework that has been developed to
achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the plan. The BPI Groups main objective is to match assets to the
defined benefit obligation by investing primarily in long-term debt securities with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due. The
asset-liability matching is being monitored on a regular basis and potential change in investment mix is being discussed with the trustor, as
necessary to better ensure the appropriate asset-liability matching.
The average remaining service life of employees under the BPI unified retirement plan as at December 31, 2014 is 12 years
(2013 - 20 years). The BPI Group contributes to the plan depending on the suggested funding contribution as calculated by an independent
actuary. The expected contribution for the year ending December 31, 2015 for the BPI Group and Parent amounts to P968 million and
P797 million, respectively.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is
unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit
obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the
projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the retirement liability recognized
within the statement of condition.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the BPI Group is in full compliance with the General Banking Act and the BSP regulations on DOSRI
loans.
Note 31 - Commitments and Contingencies
At present, there are lawsuits, claims and tax assessments pending against the BPI Group. In the opinion of management, after reviewing all
actions and proceedings and court decisions with legal counsels, the aggregate liability or loss, if any, arising therefrom will not have a material
effect on the BPI Groups financial position or financial performance.
BPI and some of its subsidiaries are defendants in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Management believes that these
actions are without merit or that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not materially affect the financial statements.
In the normal course of business, the BPI Group makes various commitments (Note 3.1.4) that are not presented in the financial statements.
The BPI Group does not anticipate any material losses from these commitments.
Note 32 - Events After the Reporting Date
BPI entered into an agreement to sell its merchant acquiring business to Global Payments Asia Pacific-Philippines, Inc. (GPAP) and to
subscribe to primary shares of GPAP for a 49% stake in the entity. The transaction is currently pending regulatory approval and is expected to
be completed in the second quarter of 2015.
Note 33 - Supplementary information required by the Bureau of Internal Revenue
Supplementary information required by Revenue Regulations No. 15-2010
On December 28, 2010, Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 15-2010 became effective and amended certain provisions of RR No. 21-2002
prescribing the manner of compliance with any documentary and/or procedural requirements in connection with the preparation and submission
of financial statements and income tax returns. Section 2 of RR No. 21-2002 was further amended to include in the Notes to Financial
Statements information on taxes, duties and license fees paid or accrued during the year in addition to what is mandated by PFRS.
Below is the additional information required by RR No. 15-2010 that is relevant to the Parent Bank. This information is presented for purposes
of filing with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.

(iv) Tax cases and assessments


As at reporting date, the Parent Bank has outstanding cases filed in courts against local government units contesting certain local tax
assessments and with the tax authorities for various claims for tax refund. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate outcome of
these cases will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Parent Bank. Also, the taxable years 2011, 2012 and
2013 remain open, for which no assessment has yet been received.
