d) “Coronavirus” COVID-19 effects

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING incorporated into its processes the monitoring of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and the other countries where it operates, which may adversely affect its Profit or Loss. In Brazil, measures were taken to mitigate the impacts caused by COVID-19 by the Federal Government, the National Monetary Council (CMN) and the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), particularly:

i) CMN Resolution No. 4,838/20, which regulates the Working Capital Program for Business Preservation (CGPE), the contracting term of which ended in the fourth quarter of 2020.

ii) CMN Resolution No. 4,846/20 which provides for loan operations for financing of payroll carried out by financial institutions, under the Emergency Employment Support Program (PESE), the contracting period of which ended in the fourth quarter of 2020.

iii) Law No. 13,999/20 and amendment made by Law No. 14,161/21, and Provisional Measure No. 1,139/22 that sets forth the National Support Program for Micro and Small Companies (PRONAMPE) with the purpose of developing and strengthening small businesses.

iv) Law No. 14,042/20 and amendment made by Law No. 14,462/22 that established the Emergency Program for Access to Credit (PEAC), with the purpose of making easier the access to credit and preserving companies, for the protection of jobs and income. The PEAC has two modalities: Emergency Program for Access to Credit in the modality of guarantee (PEAC-FGI) and Emergency Program for Access to Credit in the modality guarantee of receivables (PEAC-Maquininha).

In the period, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING identified the following impacts on its results, as well as effects on estimates and critical judgments for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

(a) Increase in 2021 and 2022 in loan and financing operations, especially for micro, small and medium-sized companies due to the measures adopted for mitigation of the impacts of COVID-19 by the authorities with the creation of programs such as PESE, PRONAMPE, PEAC-FGI and CGPE, the balance of which in December 2022 is R$ 18,662. Through timely monitoring of credit standards and behavior of clients, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING maintained the regularity of its operations, despite the adverse conditions, and helped clients in the sustainable search for their financial rebalancing.

(b) With the purpose of treating indebtedness in a structured way and giving financial impetus to clients, initiatives were established that allowed the extension of grace periods, terms and better interest rate conditions for individuals, and micro and small business clients. In March 2020, Program 60+ was established, which, among other measures, allowed a 60-day grace period for defaulting agreements and in mid-April the Travessia (Crossing) Program was established. Travessia allowed the extension of grace periods between 120 and 180 days and terms of operations between 5 and 6 years, respectively, for individual and micro and small companies clients, under better interest rate conditions.

(c) The allowance for loan losses in the amount of R$ 52,324 was affected due to the level of risk and default, due to the changes in the financial perspectives of clients and the visible deterioration of macroeconomic variables. To fully reflect the risk of its loan operations, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopts the expected loss model for provisioning of operations since the moment they are granted and it is periodically updated according to the macroeconomic variables and circumstances of the client, in view of the pandemic, a weighting in the economic scenarios was added. In December 2022, the level of coverage of provisions in the loan portfolio of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING accounted for 177% as compared to 193% in December 2021. Specifically for the expected loss of operations that have not shown any signs of deterioration so far (default or downgrading of the client's rating), provisioning presented an increase of 18.1% at the current period. The credit risk governance allowed ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING a quick response for monitoring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the loan portfolio, permitting quick access to the information needed for discussions and actions of the crisis management daily forums.

(d) Increase in expenses with claims related to COVID-19 of R$ 52 in the period, mainly related to credit life and life insurance. 

There was an increase in the spacing between people in call centers to reduce the circulation of people and the possibilities of contagion. The average number of people circulating in administrative centers was reduced, since they started to work remotely. Employees in the central management, service centers and digital branches are substantially working from home. It should be noted that despite the aforementioned measures, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING maintains its operating activities.

Even after the end of the state of public health emergency in Brazil announced in May 2022, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and following health and health surveillance recommendations so as to ensure safety of its employees and clients.
