1 Brazil lending market report Released on March 6th, 217 at Lendit 217 Creditas Consultoria Financeira Ltda.

2 Executive summary 1. With 2 million population and US$5+ billion in outstanding debt, Brazil represents a unique opportunity to disrupt the lending space 2. Average spread of 32% create a revenue pool of US$16 bullion despite average NPLs stand at a relatively low 3.4% 3. Three unsecured products (personal loans, credit cars and overdraft) combine US$56 billion in outstanding debt that is priced at above 2%; these category represents 7%+ of the industry s net interest margin despite it provides less than 15% of all outstanding debt 4. Secured lending is clearly underpenetrated, with mortgages at 12% of GDP and auto financing representing less than US$1k per active car 5. With severe economic crisis, banks have hit the breaks of loan origination and further increase margins, despite NPLs remained stable 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 2

4 Outstanding household debt has been falling for 2 years in real terms Inflation adjusted outstanding household debt Inflation adjusted credit % increase 3% 25% 2% The last ten years have been characterized by a rapid growth of outstanding household debt. In 26 consumers had borrowed R$33 billion (R$62 billion at current prices) in loans from the financial system; ten years later, the volume stands at R$1.6 trillion (1% inflation-adjusted CAGR). Credit kept 15% growth rates even in the 28-9 turmoil while Brazilian GDP was collapsing by 5% % 1% 5% In the last couple of years though, credit growth has lost its shine, contracting in real terms by 3% annually in 215 and 216 With inflation decelerating in 216 and now expected to be below 5% in 217, we expect credit expansion to recover towards the second half of the year 4 % 2-5% Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec 1-1% 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 4

5 Household debt stands at 24.8% of GDP Outstanding household debt to GDP Earmarked credit / GDP Nonearmarked credit / GDP Today household credit in Brazil represents 24.8% OF GDP (down from 25.6% a year ago) Household debt to GDP has doubled in a decade, from 12.3% in 26 Non-earmarked resources (market-rates debt), those not related to compulsory deposits or government funds, have been dropping since 212 Despite doubling its share as a percentage of GDP, 24.8% is a relatively modest ratio when compared to international standards 1 5 Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 5

6 At 42% debt-to-income, Brazil has low indebtedness level 35 3 Household debt to income ratio In line with the rise of household debt to GDP, debt as a percentage of disposable income has increased to 42.2%, falling from 46% 2 years ago At this level, Brazil is highly underleveraged compared to international markets DNK NLD NOR AUS CHE SWE CAN KOR GBR PRT FIN ESP GRC BEL USA FRA AUT DEU ITA EST CZE SVK POL SVN LVA HUN BRA 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 6

7 Despite low 42.2% debt ratio, debt service still at 21.6% 5 Inflation adjusted outstanding household debt % debt ratio % debt service ratio debt ratio debt service ratio Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec 1 25 High installments of Brazilian families debt, related to both high interest rate and short maturities, are impacting the debt service ratio Debt service peaked at 22.9% and has been increasing and remains high at 22.7% after peaking at 23.9% in 211. High debt service ratio is not related to high indebtedness: at 42.2% of disposable income, Brazilians are less leveraged than other economies. Instead, high interest rates and short loan maturities (both related to the low penetration of secured lending products) are at the root of the problem. On average, Brazilians are paying 42.% annually for their credit and 84.5% annually when we exclude subsidized earmarked products and non-carried balances of credit cards. Although the maturity of new operations has been steadily increasing to months, outstanding debt has a maturity of 64.2 months. Combining high interest rates and low maturities, Brazilians face high installments to be repaid for their loans. 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 7

The share of used car transactions has steadily increased and today already represents 84.6% of all monthly transactions With fewer new cars and a growing used car fleet, the age of vehicles in operation is growing rapidly. Today, 47% of vehicles are older than 1 years, 19% are between seven and ten years old, and 25% are between three and six years old. Only 9% of cars are less than two years old. In the U.S., 38% of vehicles are older than 1 years, 22% are between 7 and 1 years old, and 26% fall between three and six years old. Vehicles less than two years of age account for 13% of the American fleet 2 1% Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec 1 % 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 1

13 Widening margins despite stable NPLs AUTO VERTICAL Auto loans key economics Car fleet Average spread (%) NPLs (%) 25% 2% 15% 1% The period came with huge spreads for the entire industry. Little competition and a relatively scarcity of funding created the highest net margins of the decade (net margins of 18.5% and NPL at 3.%!!!!) Then, post-crisis, banks poured billions into the auto financing, reaching inflation- adjusted maximums by the end of 21. Full employment in the Brazilian economy (5% unemployment at that time) helped to achieve NPLs of 2.5%. With banks hungry for loans, spreads went down, origination grew and as a result, the period of registered an increase in overall NPLs up to 7.2% in May-212. Net margins suffered the most in 212 and 213, with spreads remaining low for Brazilian standards (around 1% p.a.) and NPLs relatively high (5-7%) 4 2 5% As predicted last year, banks kept an ultraconservative risk attitude, keeping low volumes, increasing margins (now above 14%). However, NPLs remained at 4.6% Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec 1 % 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 13

In January 212, it was 4.22% of GDP. The growth has been falling in recent years following stabilization of real estate pricing and lower residential demand. 3 2% 2 1% 1 % Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec 1-1% 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 14

Annual origination in 216 was close to R$83 billion. Monthly mortgages originations peaked in July 213 at R$15 billion in real terms. Since April of 215, there has been a significant decline in the value of monthly originations with the latest print at almost half the peak. The trough of the series was reached in January of this year R$5.4 billion, representing a drop of 64% peak to trough Dec 1 Dec 11 Dec 13 Dec Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 15

16 Widening margins despite stable NPLs MORTGAGES Mortgages key economics Mortgage origination Average spread (%) NPLs (%) 5% 4% 3% New loan originations have been slowing down for the last two years due to weaker consumer demand and banks increasing selectivity when it comes to underwriting and depleted sources of funding Banks are increasing lending rates because of the weak labor market punctuated with unemployment at record highs and real income levels falling since February 215. To date mortgages have performed well, especially when compared to other consumer loan categories, with an average NPL of 2% since % Despite recession and higher unemployment rates, Brazilians are managing to pay their mortgages; with NPLs a 1.5% and widening spreads at 3.5%, we expect banks to increase origination during 217 1% 2 Dec 6 Dec 8 Dec 1 % 217 Creditas Soluções Financeira Ltda. 16
