2009 Third Quarter Results 
 

Third Quarter 2009 Highlights 

Improvement in the financial and economic environment. During 3Q09, the local and international economy witnessed a series of positive changes such as improvements in the financial markets, consumer confidence, unemployment rate and GDP forecast. These changes foresee a more optimistic economic scenario for the future.

However, in spite of the many risks still present, the local financial system has begun to reflect this positive trend in the 3Q09, posting the first quarterly loan growth in 2009, and consecutively, an improvement in credit quality.

The sound performance of the Chilean banking system observed during the crisis and the expansive policies implemented by the Chilean government, should allow us to take advantage of the economic recovery.

New reform to the financial system has been announced. A new reform for the local capital market was announced during the last quarter. This reform (named MKIII) pursues to create a deeper financial market, encouraging international and national institutions to invest in Chile and increasing the competition in the credit market. MKIII mainly includes, among others, tax benefits for foreign investors, the incorporation of new investment instruments (ETF’s) and to allow international banks that have representative offices in Chile to disclose their credit offer.

Banco de Chile is among the top 10 performers as financial institutions in terms of the financial crisis management. The “América Economía” magazine, elaborated a ranking of the financial enterprises that better faced the crisis in Latin America. We attained the fifth place in the region. The ranking considered loan portfolio quality, liquidity, profitability and efficiency to evaluate the enterprises.

Banco de Chile ranks first among private banks in Corporate Reputation. The eighth version of the “Hill&Knowlton Captiva - La Tercera Corporate Reputation ranking” ranked us first among our peers in Corporate Reputation. This ranking considers six dimensions of corporate reputation: emotional relation, financial performance, social responsibility, work environment, administration, products and services.

Banco de Chile changes its organizational structure. After one of the most challenging periods in the world’s financial system, we initiated a new phase with a special focus on improving growth performance, operational stability and service quality. The new organizational structure pursues to achieve quicker communication, facilitate the decision making process and enhance essential areas in order to assure the execution of key strategic activities.

Financial advisory services. Our Financial Advisory subsidiary led eight bond transactions during the 3Q09. The deals were performed to companies from different sectors such as construction, financial and energy, among others. Additionally, we completed six debt restructuring plans to companies in the transportation, manufacturing, financial and construction industries

Banco de Chile purchased a residential mortgage loan portfolio. During 3Q09, we purchased a mortgage loan portfolio of approximately 132 operations for an amount of Ch$ 12,361 million from an insurance company. Through this deal, we increased our residential mortgage loan market share in approximately 6 basis points.

Paul Krugman participated in a conference organized by Banco de Chile and Banchile. In October, the 2008 Nobel Prize Paul Krugman, professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Princeton University, participated in a conference organized by Banco de Chile and Banchile Securities Brokerage and Banchile Mutual Funds subsidiaries.

Banco de Chile reaches a settlement with the Chilean government. We reached an agreement with the Chilean goverment regarding the Augusto Pinochet case. The agreement established that the Government of Chile abandons the complaint filed against us on March 11th, 2009 in the United Court of the Southern District of Florida. The total payment for the settlement reached US$3.1 million.

2009 Third Quarter Results 
 

Financial System 


 


The Chilean Financial System reported total net income of Ch$330,422 million in the 3Q09, an increase of 17% when compared to the prior quarter. This increase was mainly due to an 18.5% decrease in provisions for loan losses and, in lesser extent, to an increase in operating revenues. ROAE reached 16.1% in the 3Q09, showing an increase of 199 basis points when compared to the 2Q09. In turn, the efficiency ratio showed a slight deterioration passing from 44.7% in the 2Q09 to 46.3% in the 3Q09.

Total loans to customers, as of September 30, 2009, amounted to Ch$67,331,232 million, representing a quarterly increase of 0.9% when compared to the previous quarter. This increase was due to a rise in demand from corporations, and consumers. The quarterly change was mainly due to a 2.2% increase in residential loans and, to a lesser extent, to commercial and consumer loans which increased by 0.4% and 0.6%, respectively. Credit quality also improved during the quarter with past-due loans to total loans reducing from 1.36% in 2Q09 to 1.34% in 3Q09 and provision for loan losses to average total loans dropping from 2.13% in the 2Q09 to 1.75% in the 3Q09.

Beginning January 2009, figures for the financial system are presented under new accounting standards. As a result, figures for 2009 are not 100% comparable

Banco de Chile 2009 Third-Quarter Consolidated Results

NET INCOME 


Our consolidated net income totaled Ch$68,697 million during the 3Q09, representing a 48% decrease when compared to our historic record of Ch$132,099 recorded in the 3Q08. This YoY decrease is mainly explained by: (i) an extraordinary high inflation rate in the 3Q08, which impacted net financial income favorably in that quarter, (ii) an important increase in provisions for loan losses as a result of a riskier economic scenario, and, (iii) a smaller loan portfolio in the 3Q09 as a consequence of the economic downturn. The aforementioned factors were partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses, one of our strategic focuses.

In 3Q09, we reached an annualized return on average assets (ROAA) and an annualized return on average equity (ROAE) of 1.7% and 18.9%, respectively. These ratios compared favorably to the average recorded by the Chilean financial system of 1.4% and 16.1%, respectively.

Net income from subsidiaries posted an increase of 13% during the 3Q09 as compared to the 3Q08. The higher net income was mostly explained by a strong increase in the results of the Securities Brokerage subsidiary, which was partially offset by the lower results of the Financial Advisory, Mutual Funds and Insurance Brokerage subsidiaries.

The increase in net income from our Securities Brokerage subsidiary was explained by a significant rise in stock trading fees as a result of both, higher trading volumes at industry level and an increase in our market share from 12.5% in 3Q08 to 15.4% in 3Q09. Additionally, this subsidiary posted a slight decrease in operating expenses.

Revenues from our mutual fund business decreased from Ch$3,005 million in the 3Q08 to Ch$2,725 million during the 3Q09. The decrease was exclusively due to the lower nominal revenues generated by the securities portfolio, explained by the lower inflation rate experienced during the current quarter. Excluding this effect, the business posted a 13.7% increase in revenues, as assets under management were up 27.7% . This subsidiary also decreased its operating expenses by 7.4% .

Our financial advisory subsidiary experienced a YoY quarterly decrease of 21.3% in net income due to a lower number of completed businesses transactions in the 3Q09. During the year and in the 3Q09 this subsidiary showed an important increase in bond advisories, which was more than offset by the decreases in transactions related to structure financing, M&A and equity advisory.

The YoY quarterly decrease in Socofin’s net income was due to a collective bargaining agreement which was signed on July 2008, requiring the recognition of a one-time cost of approximately Ch$500 million booked as operating expenses in 3Q08.

Total net income showed a 6.2% decrease in 3Q09 compared to the previous quarter figure, primarily as a consequence of: (i) 2.2% decrease in operating revenues mainly due to both, lower profitability in the investment portfolio as well as lower income from the UF/$ gap management, and, (ii) a 4.1% increase in provision for loan losses.

NET FINANCIAL INCOME 


Net financial income decreased to Ch$184,823 million in the 3Q09 as compared to Ch$240,760 million in the 3Q08, mainly as a consequence of the reduction in net financial margin of 150 basis points as well as a 0.9% decrease in average interest earning assets.

 Net Interest Margin    6.32%    4.88%    4.58%         
                     

The slight decrease in average interest earning assets between the 3Q09 and the 3Q08 was mainly explained by a reduction in loan volumes, which was partially offset by an increase in financial securities.

The YoY reduction in our net financial margin from 6.67% to 5.17% was mainly due to:

• The decrease in the inflation rate, measured by -0.4% fluctuation of the UF during 3Q09, compared to a positive 3.7% in 3Q08, which implied that during 3Q09 we earned lower interest income on the portion of UF denominated interest earning assets funded in nominal Chilean pesos (approximately Ch$80,800 million),and,

• A lower contribution derived from non-interest bearing liabilities, principally demand deposits, as a result of the decrease in nominal interest rates (average monetary policy rate was 0.5% in 3Q09 and 7.75% in 3Q08) for approximately Ch$9,000 million.

The aforementioned factors were mostly offset by:

• Higher lending spreads as a result of an active management focus on the appropriate balance between risk and return (approximately Ch$ 18,600 million).

• The positive impact arising from the decrease in interest rates, which favorably impacted the value of our securities portfolio and, at the same time, generated upbeat repricing effects (as our interest bearing liabilities reprice faster than our interest earnings assets), and,

• A better funding structure mostly as a consequence of higher current accounts volumes (interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities ratio increased from 1.30 times in 3Q08 to 1.38 times in 3Q09).

Additionally, operating revenues from clients (composed of revenues from loans, deposits, derivatives and services) in the 3Q09 posted an increase of approximately 3% as compared to 3Q08. This was very favorable when taking into consideration the lower loan volumes as well as the lower margins obtained from non interest bearing liabilities during the 3Q09.

Our net financial income for the 3Q09 decreased by 5.9% as compared to the 2Q09 due to a 20 basis points reduction in net financial margin from 5.4% in 2Q09 to 5.2% in 3Q09. This decrease was mostly led by: (i) a lower result (approximately Ch$3,600 million) associated to the gap in UF/Ch$ as inflation decreased from -0.1% in 2Q09 to -0.4% in 3Q09, and, (ii) a lower contribution from non interest bearing liabilities as a result of the decrease in nominal interest rates.

Commissions, net    57,524    62,675    60,064    4.4% 
                 

Total net Fees and Commissions amounted to Ch$60,064 million in 3Q09, posting an increase of 4.4% from the 3Q08. This higher result was led by an increase in the subsidiaries revenues as core bank fees remained flat. In spite of the new regulation implemented in April 2009 which prohibits fees charged for non-agreed in advance overdrafts, we were able to mitigate the impact of this regulation through different commercial initiatives for non credit related business growth. Therefore, decreases in checking accounts, overdrafts fees and insurance fees were completely offset by increases in credit lines, sight accounts and ATMs.

Regarding our subsidiaries, the securities brokerage company almost doubled the amount of fees posted in the 3Q08, based in higher fee income in stock transactions led by a 59.9% increase in stock trading volumes.

Our mutual fund and collection subsidiaries also showed an important YoY growth in fees during 3Q09. The former improved fees in 8.3% as a result of a 27.7% increase in asset under management. In turn, Socofin improved its performance primarily due to higher fees charged as a result of higher collection volumes. Conversely, financial advisory net fee income posted a decrease of 20.6%, due to lower business transactions.

Fees on a quarter-on-quarter basis experienced a decrease of 4.2% led by lower fees in insurance, checking accounts, stock transactions and financial advisories. However, fee income to operating expenses reached 51% in 3Q09, an important improvement compared to the 45% posted in the 3Q08 and significantly above the average recorded by the Chilean financial system.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME 

Other operating income expanded to Ch$13,409 million in the 3Q09 as compared to Ch$5,988 million in the 3Q08 and Ch$5,014 million in 2Q09. The increase in the 3Q09 regarding both prior quarters was mainly attributable to a release of additional provisions for an amount of Ch$7,000 million that was established during 4Q08.

PROVISIONS FOR LOAN LOSSES 

Provisions for loan losses amounted to Ch$64,316 million in the 3Q09 compared to Ch$32,946 million in the 3Q08 and Ch$61,796 million in the 2Q09. The YoY quarterly increase was mainly a consequence of the global economic downturn that raised the risk profile of individuals and companies.

Additionally, aggregate demand and unemployment rates are still weaker than those figures recorded a year ago, requiring higher provisioning levels. As mentioned in previous releases, this higher level of provisioning is necessary to maintain an adequate level of reserves to cover any future possible losses in the loan portfolio. As a result, our loan loss provisions net of recoveries to average loans increased to 2.09% in the 3Q09 as compared to 1.03% in the 3Q08.

Provisions for loan losses increased by Ch$2,520 million in the 3Q09. This increase over the prior quarter is exclusively due to the higher provisions recorded during July 2009 which were related to the fishing sector and the downgrading of one specific company. However, the evolution of provisions charges showed an important decrease in August and September reaching Ch$ 16,580 million and Ch$ 10,224 million, respectively. We intensified negotiations with customers from the salmon industry in order to restructure their liabilities and provide them with long-term business viability.

Despite the weaker asset quality experimented this year, there have been signs of improvement in the economic activity during the current quarter.

Past-due loans increased on a YoY basis by 17.7% and reached Ch$87,596 million in the 3Q09. This variation was mainly related to commercial loans and to a lesser extent, to consumer loans as a consequence of the adverse economic conditions faced by the industry. Consequently, past due loans to total customer loans ratio increased to 0.7% in the 3Q09 from 0.6% in the 3Q08. However, our coverage ratio increased to 346% in the 3Q09, quite above the average for the financial system standing at 180%, and the 275% posted by our Bank in September 2008.

Past-due-loans decreased on a QoQ basis by 7.5% . This was mainly due to: (i) an increase in collection productivity, (ii) a proactive renegotiation of impaired loans, and, (iii) a better payment behavior observed from our client base.

The impaired loans to total loans ratio (which include both the overdue portion of the loans and the entire remaining balance when a portion is past-due) reached 1.57% as of September 30, 2009, comparing favorably to the 2.89% recorded by the financial system. On a QoQ basis, impaired loans to total loans ratio decreased by 14 basis points from 1.71% in 2Q09.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND EFFICIENCY 


Total operating expenses in the 3Q09 amounted to Ch$118,149 million, a decrease of 8.1% when compared to the Ch$128,602 million recorded during the 3Q08. This decrease was primarily a result of: (i) a 9.3% decrease in staff expenses and (ii) a 10.0% decrease in administrative expenses.

The key drivers of the lower expenses were:

• The reduction in personnel by 3.6% as a result of higher efficiencies generated by an increase in productivity,

• Lower severances and variable compensation expenses,

• A focus on cost control and lower business activity which decreased administrative expenses related to marketing, supplies and technology, and

• The one-time expense posted by Socofin in 3Q08 due to a collective bargaining agreement which was signed on July 2008.

This outstanding performance was accomplished, in spite of a 4.1% inflation adjustment for the personnel salaries during the last 12 months and a higher non-recurrent expenses related to a collective bargaining (Ch$955 million) and legal contingency expenses (Ch$ 900 million).

In spite of the decrease in the operating expenses, our efficiency ratio rose from 42.3% to 45.7% between 3Q09 and 3Q08, mostly due to an important decrease in the operating revenues.

In comparison to the 2Q09, operating expenses remained almost flat. In fact, the slight increase of Ch$484 million was in part due to the establishment of contingency provisions related to cross-border loans for an amount of Ch$ 1,473. Excluding this effect, operating expenses would have reached Ch$ 116,676 which results in a decrease of 0.8% when compared to the prior quarter. Consequently, the efficiency ratio rose from 44.6% in 2Q09 to 45.7% in 3Q09.

INCOME TAX 

In 3Q09 we recorded a tax expense of Ch$7,194 million as compared to Ch$ 11,847 million in 2Q09 and Ch$11,199 million in 3Q08, reflecting an effective tax rate of 9.4%, 13.9% and 7.8%, respectively. The lower quarter-on-quarter effective rate was due to a temporary tax benefit recognized during this quarter related to a tax analysis mentioned in the previous release.

In turn, the lower effective tax rate recorded in 3Q08 was mostly due to a lower income tax base as a result of loss from price level restatement (which must be considered for tax purposes).

LOAN PORTFOLIO 


Our total loans to customers amounted to Ch$12,598,286 million in the 3Q09, or a 3.5% decrease when compared to the 3Q08. This annual contraction is the result of the international and local economic downturn that has negatively impacted principally commercial loans and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans with YoY contractions of 6.7% and 0.9%, respectively. The adverse environment for the investment and private consumption, especially during the previous two quarters, reduced the financial needs of individuals and corporations, and at the same time, made more cautious the loan offer. Additionally, the deflation and the sharp decrease in the foreign exchange rate since September 2008 have also contributed to this reduction given its impact in UF indexed and foreign currency loans.

The aforementioned decreases have been partially offset by a 7% expansion in residential loans. This was driven by: (i) organic growth as a result of the strengthening the sales of this product, (ii) the reduction of the long term interest rates, (iii) the lower prices in housing in 2009 as compared to 2008, and, (iv) two portfolio purchases of residential loans from an insurance company by an aggregate amount of Ch$37,461 million carried out in 2Q09 and 3Q09.

In addition, the financial impact of lower loans volumes has been offset by higher lending spreads, as a result of a proactive management of the risk/return equation.

After the peak reached in the 4Q08, our loan portfolio showed two consecutive quarterly contractions during 2009. However, in the 3Q09 this trend was reversed, showing a 2.8% growth in total loans in both, wholesale and retail segments, increasing 2.1% and 3.4%, respectively. This significant rise was above the average posted by banking system and our main peers resulting in a quarterly increase of 34 basis points in our total loan market share, led by an increase in commercial loans of 39 basis points. At September 30, our total loan market share reached 18.71% and is the Chilean financial leader in commercial loans with a participation of 19.92% .

Our quarterly loan growth reflects the economic upturn that has been witnessed in the Chilean economy during the last few months, as well as the improvement in credit quality. Consequently, we could expect loan volumes to continue growing as the economy maintains this trend.

FUNDING 

Our total liabilities amounted to Ch$15,015,551 million as of September 30, 2009, a decrease of 5.5% as compared to the same period last year. This annual reduction was mainly explained by a decrease in interest bearing liabilities (savings accounts and time deposits), which more than offset the increase in non-interest bearing liabilities (current accounts and demand deposits).

The annual expansion in the latter was due to: (i) a significant increase of 19.7% in current accounts, as a consequence of the sharp reduction in nominal interest rates, and, (ii) the successful initiatives to cross-sell its products as well as to selectively expand the current account customer base. As a result, we remain as the market leader in current accounts with a market share of 25.2% as of September 2009.

The annual decline in interest bearing liabilities was mainly driven by the decrease in our assets volumes. This reduction was mainly posted by a 5.2% decrease in borrowings from financial institutions, primarily due to more convenient local funding conditions as compared to those related to funding abroad and by a 5.9% decrease in saving accounts and time deposits as a consequence of the drop in nominal interest rates. That phenomenon and a better performance of stock markets during 3Q09 has led to an inflow of funds, from saving accounts and time deposits to variable income instruments. In fact, our mutual fund subsidiary increased its assets under management by 27.7% in last 12-months.

Total liabilities experienced a moderate increase of 0.6% during 3Q09. This increase was explained by rise in demand deposits, saving accounts and time deposits, and borrowings from financial institutions. The aforementioned effects were partially offset by a decrease in currents accounts and derivative instruments.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO 

As of September 30, 2009, our securities portfolio totaled Ch$1,638,658 million, representing a 19.9% annual increase and a quarterly increase of 0.8% . The annual increase was related to a higher exposure in Central Bank securities as well as in local financial institutions.

Moreover, during 2009 as a result of the economic downturn and the sharp inflation decrease, interest rates showed a significant decline (approximately 620 basis points in 2 year peso Chilean Central Bank bonds and 90 basis points in 5 year UF Chilean Central Bank bonds), which allowed us to generate significant revenues in the trading portfolio as well as from the sale of a portion of the available for sale portfolio.

EQUITY 

As of September 30, 2009, our Equity totaled Ch$1,371,889 million, 5.5% higher compared to 3Q08. This growth was principally related to the capitalization of 30% of 2008 net income and to the higher net income estimated under the new IFRS criteria for 2008.

According to the new accounting regulations from the Chilean Superintendency of Banks, we have recorded a provision for minimum dividends of Ch$133,858 million at the end of the third quarter of 2009. This corresponds to 70% of the net income for the period.

As of September 30, 2009, on a consolidated basis, Basic Capital to Total Assets reached 7.68%, while Total Capital to Risk-Adjusted Assets posted 13.4%, above the minimum requirements applicable to Banco de Chile of 3% and 10%, respectively.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The information contained herein incorporates by reference statements which constitute ‘‘forward-looking statements,’’ in that they include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our directors and officers with respect to our future operating performance. Such statements include any forecasts, projections and descriptions of anticipated cost savings or other synergies. You should be aware that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors (including, without limitations, the actions of competitors, future global economic conditions, market conditions, foreign exchange rates, and operating and financial risks related to managing growth and integrating acquired businesses), many of which are beyond our control. The occurrence of any such factors not currently expected by us would significantly alter the results set forth in these statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely include, but are not limited to:

Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements, which speak only as of the date that they were made. Our independent public accountants have not examined or compiled the forward-looking statements and, accordingly, do not provide any assurance with respect to such statements. These cautionary statements should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we may issue in the future. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements after completion of this offering to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events
