- N E T I N C O M E A N A L Y S I S
The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM Rule No. 42/2021 made it mandatory for Brazilian Public-held companies the adoption of the principles of IFRS 17 standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts as of January 1, 2023. Thus, since the 1Q23, the audited financial statements of BB Seguridade follows the new accounting standards of IFRS 17, particularly regarding the recognition of the equity investment balance and results arising from Brasilseg, Brasilprev and Brasildental that operate insurance contracts within the new accounting standards.
On the other hand, the Brazilian insurance regulators, namely Superintendência de Seguros Privados - Susep and National Supplementary Health Insurance Agency - ANS, have not adopted the IFRS 17 for their sectors and, therefore, the insurance and health insurance companies shall comply with the former standard (IFRS 4), both for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial information, as well as for provisions, liquidity and capital management, including the regulatory capital, that weigh the shareholders' remuneration policies.
For the reason set forth herein, except when otherwise mentioned, the analysis on this report are based on managerial information prepared according to IFRS 4, which are not audited at the holding level. For information purposes, Chapter 6 of this document presents the audited financial statements in accordance with IFRS 17 of the holding co., Brasilseg and Brasilprev so that the stakeholders can get used to the new reporting models. This information does not rule out the need of reading the explanatory notes to the audited financial statements to understand the accounting practices and impacts on the transition and on the recognition of insurance contracts' income.
Finally, it should be noted that, due to operational issues, as of January 2023, the accounting recognition of the investment in Brasildental will be carried out with a delay of one month. Thus, the 1Q24 equity income contains information related to December 2023, January 2024 and February 2024, immaterially impacting the comparison with 1Q23 earnings, which includes information relating to January and February 2023.

In 1Q24, BB Seguridade's net income grew 4.7% YoY, to R$1.8 billion. The main factors that led to the increase of R$83.1 million were:
- BB Corretora (+R$85.6 million): with the growth in brokerage revenues and an increase in net investment income, due to the reduction in expenses with interest accrual on dividends payable and an expansion of more than R$1.1 billion in the average balance of financial investments that more than offset the impact of the lower Selic rate on financial revenues;
- Brasilseg (+R$80.0 million): driven mainly by the evolution of retained earned premiums and the 2.8 p.p. reduction in loss ratio; and
- Brasilcap (+R$5.4 million): due to the growth in net investment income, with increase in the average balance of investments and improvement of the financial margin, which is explained by the reduction in the cost of liabilities.
On the other hand, Brasilprev's contribution to the result was R$99.3 million lower as compared to the 1Q23, due to the drop in the net investment income caused both by the temporal mismatch in inflation accrual on assets and liabilities of traditional plans, and the negative mark-to-market result explained by the steepening in the forward yield curve.
- Seguridade's normalized net income, which sets apart the impact of temporal mismatch in inflation rates, grew 7.4% compared to 1Q23.

Net investment income (R$ million)
In 1Q24, the combined net investment income of BB Seguridade and its investees reached R$220.9 million, net of taxes, an amount 34.7% lower than that reported in the same period of 2023. The
12.0 drop is largely explained by the negative variation in Brasilprev's
net investment income, explained by: (i) contraction in inflation rates pegged to the major part of the assets guaranteeing defined benefit plans in the current period (IPCA 1Q24: +1.4% vs. 1Q23: +2.1% | IGP -M 1Q24: -0.9% vs. 1Q23: +0.2%), while the 1-month lagged IGP-M, which adjusted most of the liabilities of these plans, did not decline with the same magnitude (IGP-M 1Q24 lagged:
221 +0.3% | IGP-M 1Q23 lagged: +0.6%); and (ii) negative mark-to- market result due to the steepening in the forward yield curve. The reduction in the average Selic rate compared to 1Q23 was another factor that drove the retraction in the net investment income, being partially offset by the 9.5% expansion in the combined average balance of floating rate investments of all companies in the group.

Regarding the 2024 Guidance indicators, all of them outperformed in 1Q24.
For the variation in non-interest operating result (ex-holdings), the beat was motivated by the lower loss ratio than expected for rural insurance. In premiums written by Brasilseg and in Brasilprev's PGBL and VGBL pension reserves, the outperformance was already expected in the beginning of the year, with gradual convergence towards the Guidance ranges throughout the year.

In 1Q24, the net income of the insurance operation grew 11.7% compared to 1Q23, driven by the evolution of retained earned premiums (+9.6%) and the reduction in loss ratio (-2.8 p.p.), which led to the growth of 12.0% of non-interest operating result. These effects were partially offset by the lower net investment income, mainly due to the decline in the average Selic rate.
Premiums written increased by 15.3% YoY, highlighting: (i) credit life (+35.2%), due to the higher volume of credit origination and reduction in cancellations; (ii) rural lien (+54.1%), driven by the new lien insurance for cattle, which was launched at the beginning of the year; and (iii) credit life for farmers (+28.0%), a consequence of growth in the average ticket and increase in volumes sold.
The G&A ratio rose 0.5 p.p. as compared to the same period in 2023, with the increase in general and administrative expenses (+14.7%), mainly in the lines of impairment provision, internal marketing and third-party services.

In 1Q24, net income from the pension operation contracted 30.3% as compared to the same period in 2023, to R$305.4 million, a performance attributed to the net investment income that registered a negative balance of R$5.0 million in the quarter, compared to positive R$246.6 million in 1Q23. Among the factors that affected the financial result, the main ones were: (i) temporal mismatch in inflation rates pegged to assets and liabilities of defined benefit plans; and (ii) negative mark-to-market result due to the steepening in the forward yield curve.
Non-interest operating result grew 7.4% YoY, largely due to the 6.2% increase in revenue with management fees, driven by the 14.5% expansion of pension reserves in the last 12 months. On the other hand, the average annualized management fee fell by 0.04 p.p., impacted by the greater flow of investments directed towards more conservative products, which led to a reduction in the share of multimarket funds in total reserves, reaching 21.4% at the end of March 2024 (-4.3 p.p. YoY | -0.6 p.p. QoQ).
Pension contributions grew 13.5% YoY, totaling R$16.8 billion, the highest quarterly volume in the historical series. The redemption ratio reached 8.6%, the lowest level since 4Q20 (-3.2 p.p. YoY | -1.4
- QoQ). The evolution of contributions, combined with the improvement in the redemption ratio, in addition to lower portability in the period (-0.5 p.p. YoY | -0.3 p.p. QoQ), resulted in a net inflow of R$5.6 billion, an amount almost three times higher than that recorded in 1Q23.

In 1Q24, net income from premium bonds operation was 12.8% higher than that recorded in the same period in 2023, reaching R$70.7 million. The performance is attributed to the growth in net investment income (+32.9%), with an expansion in the average balance of interest earning assets and an increase in the financial spread, resulting from the reduction in the cost of liabilities.
Premium bonds collection increased by 16.4%, a movement attributed to the higher average ticket. Revenue with load fee did not keep the same pace of collection and grew 7.6%, with the average load fee quote falling 0.8 p.p. This dynamic is due to the greater share of short-term unique payment bonds (12 and 24 months) in collection mix, since these products have a lower quota compared to longer-term products (36 and 48 months).
