Next, the descriptive of the main adjustments:

Expected losses on financial assets

It considers: (i) Expected loss on loans and advances to clients; and (ii) Expected loss on other financial assets.

Technical provisions

It comprises mainly the difference between SUSEP Standard No. 543/16 that established the use of the mark-to-market effects of assets given in guarantee classified as held to maturity, to be part of the amount necessary to complement technical provisions, as calculated in the Liability Adequacy Test (TAP), an event that does not occur for IFRS 4.

Business combination

For purposes of the IFRS, the assets and liabilities identified originating from the business combination were adjusted by the differences of the accounting practices, as well as recognized at fair value, whereby the value of the goodwill is not amortized, but tested, periodically, to verify if there is objective evidence of impairment.

The complete consolidated financial statements in the IFRS, related to the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2021 and 2020, accompanied by the independent auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements, with no amendments, issued by KPMG Auditores Independentes, are available on our website www.bradescori.com.br.
