Financial Margin

Net Interest Income (NII)

In 1Q24, NII was R$25.7 billion, practically stable compared to the previous quarter (-0.1%), and and growth of 21.6% compared to the same period last year.

In QoQ comparison, there was a 4.6% decrease in financial income (-2.4% in loan operations and -10.4% in treasury), offset by the 9.7% reduction in financial expenses, influenced by the 11.5% drop in commercial funding expenses.

Margin with Clients and with the Market

In 1Q24, Margin with Clients, up 0.6% QoQ, was influenced by the positive performance of the credit margin. In the same comparison, the Margin with the Market decreased by 2.7%, mainly due to the performance of Banco Patagonia's NII, influenced by the macroeconomic scenario in Argentina and the maximum devaluation that occurred in December/23.

Margin with Clients

Margin with the Market

  1. Comparing with the accounting NII presented at the beginning of this chapter, the Margin with Clients is essentially formed by the loan operations income plus private securities, net of opportunity expenses for each type of operation, and by the commercial funding expenses and compulsory deposits, plus opportunity income for each type of operation; (2) Similarly, the Margin with the Market essentially consists of treasury result (excluding private securities), institutional funding expenses, Banco Patagonia's NII and net income from opportunities (income/expenses) plus income of compulsory applications..

In YoY comparison, the growth in Margin with Clients (+4.1%) was influenced by: (i) growth in the credit margin, sustained by the increase of the average balance and the repricing of the portfolio; and (ii) retraction in the margin with commercial funding, influenced by the drop in TMS in the period. In the same comparison, the positive performance of Margin with the Market was influenced by the treasury result and by the Banco Patagonia's NI.
