FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
China Bank posted a 15% growth in net income to P6.46 billion in 2016, reflecting
sustained growth in core businesses across all market segments. This translates to a
return on equity of 10.42% and return on assets of 1.16%.
Net interest income grew 11% to P16.69 billion, driven by the 13% rise in interest
revenue from loans to P17.89 billion. Fee-based revenues improved 14% to P5.09
billion, bolstered by trading gains of P918.09 million and robust growth in revenues
from service charges and fees, trust fees and gains on sale of acquired assets.
Operating expense growth was limited to 8% even with the continued expansion in
distribution network and investments in people and technology to support the growth
of new businesses.
Total assets grew 20% to P633.20 billion, as loans and deposits grew faster
than industry. Gross loans rose 24% to P393.74 billion, led by the 27% growth in
consumer loans. Total deposits rose 23% to P541.58 billion, with the 21% growth
in low-cost CASA deposits to P276.42 billion reflecting the strength of the China
Bank franchise boosted by deposit growth from new branches. CASA ratio stood at
51.04%, while loans-to-deposit ratio stood at 71.43%.
Total capital funds reached P63.39 billion, resulting in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1)
at 11.30% and Total CAR 12.21%.

OUR REACH
In the last decade, China Bank has been on an upward trajectory in key result areas.
The organization is now almost four times bigger compared to 10 years ago. Its thrift
banking arm China Bank Savings alone has 150 branches today, which is bigger than
the Parent Bank China Bank 10 years ago with only 148 branches.
Through all this fast-paced development, China Bank remains committed to the same
objectives of acquiring customers, deepening relationships, and striving to be the
best bank for its clients while setting its sights on new goals: shifting its focus to a
segmented strategy that maximizes presence and returns from our targeted markets,
strengthening of balance sheet and improved profitability, capitalizing on process and
technology upgrades to achieve operational efficiency, and creating an organization
that adapts to change.
China Bank is one of the first banks to comply with the BSP's directive to convert
all ATM cards to EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) standard by end of year.
EMV is the most recent advancement in automated banking to help combat fraud
and protect its users’ payment data. Other benefits include improved transaction
security whether through ATM or point-of-sale terminal; added layers of protection
as EMV addresses the threat of skimming or counterfeit fraud type, and assured
adherence to international standards for card payments.
In July 2016, the Bank’s personal online banking portal, China Bank Online, was
upgraded to allow customers to transact online with greater ease and security. With
the new platform, users experience a simpler way of managing their accounts and
enjoy added security. Other benefits of the upgrade include being able to instantly
view one’s accounts and transaction history, apply for insurance coverage, use the
built-in loan calculator, and personalize one’s own homepage.
Also in 2016, in a first-in-country unveiling, China Bank introduced a new ATM user
experience wherein the machine mimics the interface of a smartphone, resulting in
a more interactive and user-friendly touch system and transactions that are shorter,
faster, and like before, secure. This is set to transform the user interface landscape
of self-service banking in the country and will be the de facto standard for all banks
in the future.
CONSUMER BANKING
REAL ESTATE AND VEHICLE LOANS
19% China Bank’s real estate loans grew by 19% in 2016. The bulk of the growth came from
REAL ESTATE the developer referred channel, which grew by a hefty 58%. This may be attributed to
LOANS an improved market visibility with the group’s active participation in events hosted by real
estate associations and developers, housing fairs and open houses, and brokers’ nights.
21%
VEHICLE
LOANS The collaboration of the Consumer Banking Group (CBG) with China Bank Capital
Corporation, the Bank’s investment house subsidiary, resulted in P1.69 billion worth of
new loans to developers.
China Bank’s vehicle loans portfolio grew by a significant 21%, with new loans growing
by 26% backed by active branch referrals. China Bank branches consistently gave
positive feedback on the service turnaround time.
Past due levels were kept within limits, and the basic principles of prudent credit
underwriting were observed.
REMITTANCES
2016 was a banner year for China Bank’s Remittance Business Division. Aside from
marking its 10th year in the remittance business, it has reached a major milestone in terms
of volume of transactions as it exceeded the US$1 billion mark, placing it amongst the
industry’s major players. Business volume increased by 53% versus 2015 levels while
transaction count increased by 33%. The Bank now enjoys 31% market share in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is home to 1.2 million overseas Filipinos. The March 2016
trip to the Kingdom by EVP and COO William C. Whang, together with the heads of the
Division, strengthened our relationships with key strategic partners in Saudi Arabia.
In terms of products and services, the main thrust of the Bank’s remittance team is to
encourage overseas Filipinos (both land-based and sea-based) and their beneficiaries
to utilize and take advantage of the Overseas Kababayan Savings Account. In line with
the BSP’s vision for inclusion, this deposit account does not require initial deposit and
maintaining balance, a perfect instrument for overseas Filipino families to start and manage
their savings which they can use to invest or start a business.
Cash Pick-up, on the other hand, remains to be a preferred service given by China Bank’s
vast network of payout channels through its own branches as well as China Bank Savings,
MLhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier, Palawan Pawnshop, LBC, and SM Global Pinoy Centers.
China Bank remains compliant with the Anti-Money Laundering Act in the performance of
the above-stated services.
Card usage programs for the year focused on tactical themes. We started 2016 with a
Chinese New Year promo wherein we partnered with various merchants such as AirAsia
Philippines, EDSA Shangri-La, and Sincerity Café and Restaurant, to name a few. For
Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, Miladay and Island Rose offered special discounts to
China Bank MasterCard cardholders. Another big promotion was the Mid-Autumn Festival
Raffle wherein three lucky cardholders won a Prada, Gucci, or Balenciaga bag.
The major usage campaign for 2016 was the “Priceless Las Vegas” raffle promo which
was launched in October 2016. Every P2,000 single receipt purchase or charge gave the
cardholder one raffle entry for a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas for two.
Other usage highlights include the 0% installment programs with SM, Lazada 11.11 Online
Revolution, Zalora 12.12 Online Fever, and Platinum and World MasterCard exclusives with
Jewelmer and Fairmont Makati.
In 2017, the credit card division aims to offer more benefits to its growing number of
cardholders by offering a more robust and inclusive set of programs.
LENDING
INSTITUTIONAL / CORPORATE BANKING
China Bank continued to reinforce its presence in the corporate market in 2016
with major accounts ranging from expanding business segments, such as power
and utility, PPP projects, telecommunications, mining, and logistics. It forged ahead
with its service to corporate clients through its cash management businesses, and
defended its market share for small-and-medium scale enterprises (SMEs), as well as
the middle market and commercial ones by addressing their funding requirements.
The Institutional Banking Group sought for opportunities for long-term financing,
and pursued point-of-sale terminal cash-out services and corporate auto-debit
arrangements with several banking partners.
In September, CMSD and power company Meralco sealed a new partnership for an Auto
Debit Arrangement, which allows corporate customers to pay their Meralco bills with
a facility designed to automate and streamline the manual processing, consolidation,
and fulfillment of bills. In the same month, another Auto Debit Arrangement deal was
closed—this time with SM Development Corporation (SMDC)—which allows SMDC unit
buyers to conveniently pay their monthly amortizations via debit from their enrolled China
Bank account. Currently, this is available only to China Bank employees, but SMDC
plans to expand this facility to all their customers by 2017.
In September 2016, CMSD was awarded by the Social Security System (SSS) as
Best Collecting Partner Bank, a distinction that is awarded to financial institutions with
the highest collections, the biggest volume of transactions, and the widest coverage
for the year. In 2016, China Bank has garnered a total collection volume of P3.88
billion for the SSS.
The stock brokerage house, which will be named China Bank Securities
Corporation, enables China Bank Capital to do Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and
list these IPO shares in the Philippine Stock Exchange. The China Bank Group’s
clients will also gain access to stock brokerage services for their equities-related
transactions.
The special purpose corporation known as CBC Assets One (SPC), Inc. will be
utilized as a vehicle to hold the assets for the securitization transactions of China
Bank Capital. Early in 2016, China Bank Capital was mandated by listed property
developer 8990 Holdings, Inc. to be the Arranger and Lead Underwriter for the P5
billion securitization of Contract To Sell (CTS) receivables of its various subsidiaries –
which, when completed, will be the largest securitization transaction in the country.
The receivables will be purchased by CBC Assets One (SPC) Inc., and repackaged
into fixed-income securities. This is an innovative approach by China Bank Capital to
address the financing requirements of the low-cost housing industry. The addition of
these two new subsidiaries to China Bank Capital’s portfolio rounds out its offerings
and helps improve its capabilities on the capital origination side.
*Currently known as ATC Securities Inc. pending SEC approval of change of name.
For our business and corporate clients, China Bank is a full-service partner with
the competence to advise them on how to enable business growth with the right
mix of loans, bonds and equity, in a manner that reflects how well we understand
their businesses, their unique circumstances, the challenges they face and the

range of services, from sound advise to a complete set of financing services.
To our depositors, this means being able to generate a wider variety of investment
instruments that we can make available to our customers to diversify their investment
portfolios without having to rely on other banks or investment houses.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
In 2016, our team of seasoned and dedicated Relationship Managers continued to
give our affluent customers a more rewarding preferred banking experience. With the
success of last year’s strategies and management systems, our internal units have been
able to better support our expanded services. This leverage has allowed us to reinforce
the business model with more robust product platforms and more efficient processes.
Our client-centric approach such as providing “on call” relationship managers and
adopting an open-architecture banking platform continue to bolster our Wealth
Management Group (WMG), allowing them to improve on their well-established
personalized service programs, and continue delivering the best-in-class banking
solutions in tandem with China Bank’s products to optimize each customer’s portfolio.
This year’s positive outlook gained much from China Bank’s SOPRA Wealth
Management System—a client management platform initiated in the previous year
that introduced enhanced processes tailored to be more responsive to our clients’
needs. Our private bankers also leveraged on investment banking as well as external
counterparties to provide vastly improved product solutions.
As part of our efforts to reach out to more wealth management clients, we expanded
our regional presence since the previous year, including the establishment of a new
wealth management center in Bacolod and the expansion of our Alabang Cluster’s
coverage to include Batangas.

The Group continued to play an active role in the fixed income market, participating
in almost all of the major private and government bond issuances through aggressive
origination efforts of the Bank’s investment house subsidiary. Apart from corporate
bonds issued by the country’s top corporations, the unit was also one of six selling
agents of the P100 billion 25-year retail treasury bonds (RTB 10-5) issued by the
Bureau of Treasury during the third quarter of 2016. Given stepped-up trading activities
in the primary and secondary markets, the Group was recognized as one of the top
performing Government Securities Eligible Dealers (GSED) by the Bureau of Treasury
and by the Philippine Dealing System in terms of brokering and sales activities which
ranked it as number 9th and 5th respectively in 2016.
To keep pace with the growing need for financial instruments, the group likewise
expanded the list of accredited counterparties and allowable investment outlets,
including the review and increase in counterparty lines and limits.
Meanwhile, the implementation of the new treasury platform using Calypso will be fully
operational by the second quarter of 2017. The new system which covers front, middle
and back end is expected to support the growing treasury operations, enhance trading
capabilities, and improve flexibility and speed to adapt to regulatory changes and new
business trends.

line and is expected to continue to do so with the implementation of vital structural
changes and revitalized sales and distribution efforts.

unique financial needs through a full set of Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITFs),

CBS is now the country’s fourth largest thrift bank given an asset size of P81
billion, 9% higher year-on-year. The savings bank ranked fourth and fifth in terms
of deposits and net loans which expanded by 8% to P72 billion and 14% to P58
billion, respectively. The increase in capital of P2.5 billion will support the expansion
of CBS into new market segments.
CBS launched new promos and products like exclusive Affordabundle and

of acquired assets, LENDR online consumer finance platform, and EMV cards. It
is also presently migrating to the new Finacle Core Banking Solution (FCBS) to

the highly-engaged, mobile-first market segment. The campaign aimed to boost
consumer confidence in our brand, encourage foot traffic to brick-and-mortar
branches and drum up interest in deposit and consumer offers like CBS home and
auto loans. The initiative is attributed to having increased the number of likes on
the CBS Facebook page by 800% within one month of the February 2016 launch.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
China Bank recorded a 15.32% improvement in net income to P6.46 billion for 2016, which translated to a 10.42% return on equity
and 1.16% return on assets.
Total operating income consisting of net interest income and fee-based income increased by 11.33% or P2.22 billion to
P21.79 billion with the growth in core businesses across all market segments. Total operating expenses (including provision for
impairment and credit losses) increased by 7.92% or P1.04 billion as the Bank continued to pursue its expansion strategy.
Net interest income improved by 10.67% to P16.69 billion from last year’s P15.09 billion, driven by the 12.51% rise in interest
revenues from loans. However, consolidated net interest margin was at 3.20% from the full-year impact of rising funding costs.
Total fee-based income increased by 13.54% to P5.09 billion from P4.49 billion last year boosted by trading gains, loan-related
service charges, trust fees and income from acquired assets. Trading and securities gain almost doubled to P918.09 million from
P466.83 million because of increased dealership business and gain on sale of available-for-sale securities. Trust fees grew by
P53.96 million to P330.20 million from the volume expansion of managed assets. Gain on sale of investment properties improved
by 17.98% to P443.32 million on the back of larger sales of foreclosed properties. However, this was offset by P102.50 million or
37.28% annual decline in gain on asset foreclosure and dacion transactions resulting from negative mark-to-market revaluation
on foreclosed assets. Service charges, fees and commissions registered a 15.76% improvement to P2.12 billion because of
significant contributions from the remittance business and higher loan-related charges. Miscellaneous income declined by 9.14% to
P878.45 million, mainly from lower dividend income. Share of total fee-based income to total revenues was at 18.88%.
The growth rate of operating expenses (excluding provision for impairment and credit losses) to P13.35 billion was controlled at
9.49% or P1.16 billion, improving the consolidated cost-to-income ratio to 61.27% from 62.30% last year. The material components
of operating expenses include compensation & fringe benefits which accounted for 37.32% of total operating expenses, taxes &
licenses at 14.98%, occupancy costs at 13.71%, and insurance at 8.71%. Provision for impairment and credit losses was recorded
at P850.55 million, P116.03 million or 12.00% lower from the significant reduction in past due loans.
The Bank’s sustained profitability contributed to its capital strength and enabled it to consistently pay dividends to stockholders. For
2016, China Bank paid cash dividends of P1.0 per share or a total of P1.85 billion, which represents a total payout of 33.06% of
prior years’ net income. The Bank also declared a 8% stock dividend or a total of P1.48 billion.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Bank’s total assets expanded by 20.19% to P633.20 billion from P526.83 billion mainly from the robust growth in investment
securities and loans supported by funding growth.
The Bank’s loan portfolio (net, inclusive of UDSCL) grew by 24.88% to P386.83 billion from P309.76 billion mainly from higher
demand across all customer segments (corporate, commercial and consumer). Consumer loans grew by 26.50% for 2016. The
Bank’s non-performing loans ratio improved to 1.86%, while loan loss coverage ratio was computed at 91.00%.
Total investment securities which consist of Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss, Available-for-Sale and Held-to-
Maturity Financial Assets climbed to P98.98 billion from P71.21 billion, representing 15.63% of total assets, an improvement from
13.52% a year ago. Total liquidity ratio reached 34.39%.
On the liabilities side, total deposits increased by 23.29% to P541.58 billion from P439.27 billion mainly from the growth in customer
acquisition efforts and branch expansion. Total low-cost deposits (demand and savings) were P48.86 billion or 21.47% higher at
P276.42 billion and comprised 51.04% of total deposits. The Bank also issued the first tranche (P9.59 billion) of its Long-Term
Negotiable Certificates of Deposits (LTNCDs) in November, marking its return to the Peso debt market after the successful maiden
release of five-year, P5 billion LTNCDs in 2008. The LTNCDs are included under the time deposit liabilities account.
Total capital funds grew to P63.39 billion, 7.12% higher than last year’s P59.17 billion primarily from higher retained profits. The
Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) and total CAR were computed at 11.30% and 12.21%, respectively.
Capital Fundamentals
We believe that China Bank can only achieve sustainable growth by maintaining strong capital fundamentals. Major business
initiatives are undertaken with the appropriate capital planning which also takes into consideration constraints and changes in the
regulatory environment. This is necessary to ensure that the Bank’s commercial objectives are equally aligned with its ability to
maintain a capital position at par with the industry. The Board and Senior Management recognize that a balance should be achieved
with respect to China Bank’s earnings outlook vis-à-vis capital fundamentals that can take advantage of growth opportunities while
maintaining sufficient capacity to absorb shocks.
The regulatory Basel III qualifying capital of the Group consists of Common Equity Tier 1 capital (going concern capital), which
comprises paid-up common stock, additional paid-in capital, surplus including current year profit, other comprehensive income
and minority interest less required deductions such as unsecured credit accommodations to DOSRI, deferred income tax, other
intangible assets, goodwill, defined benefit pension fund assets/liabilities, and investment in subsidiaries. The other component of
regulatory capital is Tier 2 capital (gone-concern capital), which includes general loan loss provision. A capital conservation buffer of
2.5% comprised of CET 1 capital is likewise imposed in the Basel III capital ratios.

The credit ratings given by the following rating agencies were used to determine the credit risk weight of On-balance sheet,
Off-balance sheet, and Counterparty exposures:
The Standardized Approach is used in China Bank’s market risk-weighted assets. The total market risk-weighted asset of the Bank
as of December 2016 is P4.34 billion and P4.58 billion for parent company and consolidated basis, respectively. This is composed
of Interest Rate exposures amounting to P2.10 billion and Foreign Exposures amounting to P2.24 billion for the parent bank, while
it is composed of Interest Rate exposures amounting to P2.32 billion and Foreign Exposures amounting to P2.25 billion on a
consolidated basis.
Operational risk
Operational risks arise from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. The Bank employs
several tools to identify, assess, monitor and control the operational risk inherent to the Bank.
Tools such as the Risks and Controls Self-Assessment (RCSA), the analysis of historical loss reports, the monitoring of Key Risk
Indicators (KRI) and the Business Impact Analysis further allow risk management to identify high risk areas, loss drivers, and trends
which can be acted upon by management to prevent material failures in our processes, people, systems, and resiliency measures
against external events. These results are periodically reported to management and cover all aspects of the business from core
operating capabilities of the units, all products and services, outstanding legal cases, and even its sales and marketing practices.
In addition, the Bank has a product review and approval process. It seeks to outline a standard approach involved in implementing
the product management mandate for all product categories in the Bank and will ultimately reflect the Bank’s operating and risk
management philosophy in the context of its over-all business goals and strategies.
The operational risk exposure of the Bank is profiled using a number of methodologies which also include a scenario analysis
exercise as part of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) to validate if the computed capital requirement
using the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) is enough to cover estimated losses arising from adverse operating conditions and major
incidents. The Bank allocated the amount of P3.07 billion in capital as of December 2016 for operational risk which is more than
adequate to cover the resulting exposure based on the scenario analysis exercise.
The Bank’s Interest Rate Risk (IRR) originates from its holdings of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities.
Internally, the Earnings-at-Risk (EaR) method is used to determine the effects of adverse interest rate change on the Bank’s interest
earnings. The Bank’s earnings from loans are assumed affected by interest rate movements on the repricing period in the case
of floating rates while earnings remain constant until maturity on loans set with fixed rates. Demand and savings deposits, on the
other hand, are generally not interest rate sensitive. Provided in the table below are the approximate reduction in annualized interest
income of a 100bps adverse change across the PhP and USD yield curves.

Signed this 1st day of March 2017, affiants exhibiting to me their Social Security System Nos. as follows:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of China Banking Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group) and the parent company
financial statements of China Banking Corporation, which comprise the consolidated and parent company balance sheets as of December 31, 2016
and 2015, and the consolidated and parent company statements of income, consolidated and parent company statements of comprehensive
income, consolidated and parent company statements of changes in equity and consolidated and parent company statements of cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, and notes to the consolidated and parent company financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and parent company financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements section of our report. We
are independent of the Group and the Parent Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in the Philippines
(Code of Ethics) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements
in the Philippines, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated and parent
company financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated and parent
company financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For
each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial
Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed
to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and parent company financial statements. The results
of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying consolidated and parent company financial statements.
Applicable to the audit of the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements
Loans and receivables comprise 61.09% and 58.86% of the total assets of the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2016,
respectively. Reflecting these assets and the related allowance for credit losses at their appropriate amounts is a key area of judgment for the
management. The Group determines the allowance for credit losses on an individual basis for individually significant loans and receivables. In
contrast, allowance for credit losses on loans and receivables that are not individually significant or are not specifically impaired are collectively
determined. The identification of impairment and the determination of the recoverable amount are inherently uncertain processes involving various
factors such as the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s payment behavior and expectation of amounts and timing of collections or
liquidation of collateral. The use of assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of allowance for credit losses. The disclosures in
relation to allowance for credit and impairment losses are included in Notes 3, 5 and 15 of the financial statements.
Audit Response
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s credit monitoring and impairment process and tested the relevant key controls for these processes,
including the underlying data and systems. For allowance for credit losses calculated on an individual basis, we obtained sample loan accounts
and tested the assumptions underlying the impairment identification following the Group’s internal risk rating and accounts’ age. We also tested
the allowance quantification by comparing forecasts of future cash flows with the accounts’ historical collection, including any collections after
yearend, repayment agreements and availability of collateral. For impaired accounts expecting recovery through foreclosure of collateral, we
checked mortgage documents and tested for any other outstanding encumbrances, and agreed values of collaterals used to the appraisal reports
and historical sales. We also checked the discount rates used if they are based on the loans’ original effective interest rate (EIR) for fixed-rate loans,
and the current EIR adjusted for the original credit risk premium for floating-rate loans, and re-performed impairment calculation.
Recoverability of Goodwill
Under PFRS, the Group and the Parent Company are required to annually test the amount of goodwill for impairment. Goodwill recognized in
the consolidated and parent company financial statements amounting to P222.84 million is attributed to the Parent Company’s Retail Banking
Business (RBB) segment, while goodwill of P616.91 million in the consolidated financial statements is attributed to the subsidiary bank, China
Bank Savings, Inc. (CBSI). The annual impairment test, which is performed by determining the recoverable amounts of the cash generating units
(CGUs) based on value-in-use (VIU) calculation, is significant to our audit because the management’s assessment process requires significant
judgment and is based on assumptions. The assumptions used in the calculation are sensitive to estimates of future cash flows from the relevant
CGUs, growth rates used to project future cash flows beyond the budget period and the discount rates. The disclosures in relation to goodwill are
included in Notes 3 and 13 of the financial statements.
Audit Response
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s impairment process and related controls. We evaluated the financial forecast used by the
management for the VIU calculation by comparing key assumptions used in the financial forecast. This includes comparing the loan and deposit
growth rates against the historical performance of the CGUs, banking industry outlook, and other relevant external data. We also involved our
internal specialist in assessing the methodology and other key assumptions used by the Group in the VIU calculation ‒ particularly those relating
to growth rates used to project future cash flows beyond the forecast period and testing the parameters used to derive discount rates. We also
checked the Group’s disclosures with regard to assumptions to which the outcome of the impairment test is most sensitive, that is, those that
have the most significant effect on the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill.
As disclosed in Notes 3 and 26 of the financial statements, as of December 31, 2016, the Parent Company has recognized deferred tax assets
on all temporary differences, while the Group has recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets. The realizability of deferred tax assets
recognized depends on the Group’s ability to continuously generate sufficient future taxable income. The realizability of deferred tax assets’
analysis was significant to our audit because the assessment process is based on assumptions that are affected by expected future market or
economic conditions, and the expected performance of the Group and the Parent Company.
Audit Response
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s deferred income tax calculation process, including the applicable tax regulations. We reviewed
the management’s assessment on the availability of future taxable income considering the Group’s financial forecast and tax strategies. We also
discussed the business plans supporting such forecast with the management. We evaluated the forecast by comparing key assumptions, such
as loans and deposit growth rates, with the Group’s historical performance and the market outlook for the banking industry. We also reviewed the
availability of taxable income and the reversal of temporary differences’ timing to which the deferred tax assets are attributed to.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the SEC Form 20‑IS (Definitive
Information Statement), SEC Form 17‑A and Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016, but does not include the consolidated and
parent company financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The SEC Form 20‑IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17‑A
and Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016 are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated and parent company financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated and parent company financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated
and parent company financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated and parent company financial statements in accordance
with PFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and parent company
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and parent company financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and Parent
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group and the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and parent company financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and parent company financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and parent company financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and Parent Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by
management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and Parent Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the
related disclosures in the consolidated and parent company financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and parent company financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated and parent company financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express
an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence,
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where
applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
consolidated and parent company financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information
required under Revenue Regulations 15‑2010 in Note 36 to the financial statements is presented for purposes of filing with the Bureau of Internal
Revenue and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the management of China Banking
Corporation. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements. In our opinion,
the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Ray Francis C. Balagtas.

Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (collectively
referred to as “the Group”).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments at fair value through profit
or loss (FVPL) and available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, and all values are rounded
to the nearest thousand peso except when otherwise indicated.
The financial statements of the Parent Company reflect the accounts maintained in the Regular Banking Unit (RBU) and Foreign Currency
Deposit Unit (FCDU). The financial statements of these units are combined after eliminating inter-unit accounts.
Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using
that functional currency. The functional currency of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries is the Philippine peso.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheets only when there is a legally enforceable right
to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group and the Parent Company assess that they have currently enforceable right of offset if the right is not contingent on a future event,
and is legally enforceable in the normal course of business, event of default, and event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group, the Parent
Company and all of the counterparties.
Income and expenses are not offset in the statement of income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation, and
as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the Group and the Parent Company.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent Company.
The Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
• power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
• exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
• the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances
in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
• the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
• rights arising from other contractual arrangements
• the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the
three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group
loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in
the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit
or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Group and to the non-controlling
interests. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies into line with the
Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between
members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control
over a subsidiary, it:
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company.
Non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. Any losses applicable to the non-controlling
interest are allocated against the interests of the non-controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following new, amendments and
improvements to PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) and Philippine Interpretation which became effective as of January 1, 2016.
Except as otherwise indicated, these changes in the accounting policies did not have any significant impact on the financial position or
performance of the Group:
On January 1, 2016, the Group adopted the amendments to PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements – Equity Method in Separate Financial
Statements (Amendments). The amendments allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures
and associates in their separate financial statements. The Parent Company elected to use the equity method in its separate financial statements
in line with BSP Circular 915, issued in July 5, 2016, which provides guidance for banks on financial reporting requirements. The effects of the
adoption of the amended PAS 27 are detailed below:
Parent Company
As previously Restatement
reported adjustments As restated
Balance sheets
FCDU
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of the FCDU are translated into the Parent Company’s presentation currency (the Philippine
Peso) at the PDS closing rate prevailing at the reporting date, and its income and expenses are translated at the PDSWAR for the year. Exchange
differences arising on translation are taken directly to the statement of comprehensive income under ‘Cumulative translation adjustment’. Upon
actual remittance or transfer of the FCDU income to RBU, the related exchange difference arising from translation lodged under ‘Cumulative
translation adjustment’ is recognized in the statement of income of the RBU books.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability
takes place either:
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using
the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.
If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, the price within the bid - ask spread that is most representative
of fair value in the circumstances shall be used to measure fair value regardless of where the input is categorized within the fair value hierarchy.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the
asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value,
maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly
observable
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have
occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
‘Day 1’ difference
Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different with the fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same
instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the difference
between the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ difference) in the statement of income. In cases where the transaction price used is made
of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the statement of income
when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate
method of recognizing the ‘Day 1’ difference amount.
• the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or
liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or
• the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or
• the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or
it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in ‘Trading
and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is reported in the statement of income under ‘Interest income’
or ‘Interest expense’, respectively, while dividend income is reported in the statement of income under ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right
to receive payment has been established.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the
statement of income under ‘Foreign exchange gain (loss) - net’ for forward exchange contracts and ‘Trading and securities gain-net’ for IRS
and warrants.
Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host financial and non-financial contracts are also accounted for at FVPL.
An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the
economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristic of the host contract; (b) a
separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and (c) the hybrid or combined
instrument is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host contracts when the Group first becomes a
party to the contract. Reassessment of embedded derivatives is only done when there are changes in the contract that significantly modifies
the contractual cash flows that would otherwise be required.
After initial measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any
impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral
part of the effective interest rate (EIR). The amortization is included in ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. Gains and losses are
recognized in income when the HTM financial assets are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The losses
arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income under ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’. The
effects of translation of foreign currency-denominated HTM financial assets are recognized in the statement of income.
• those that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the near term and those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as FVPL;
• those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as AFS; and
• those for which the Group may not cover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration.
After initial measurement, these are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the
EIR. The amortization is included under ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized under
‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income.
After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The effective yield component of AFS debt securities,
as well as the impact of translation of foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in the statement of income. The unrealized
gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS financial assets are excluded, net of tax, from reported earnings and are reported as ‘Net
unrealized gains (losses) on AFS financial assets’ under OCI.
When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is recognized as ‘Trading and securities gain - net’
in the statement of income. Interest earned on holding AFS debt securities are reported as ‘Interest income’ using the EIR. Dividends earned
on holding AFS equity instruments are recognized in the statement of income as ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right to the payment has
been established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized as ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the
statement of income.
After initial measurement, other financial liabilities not qualified and not designated as at FVPL are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are
an integral part of the EIR.
This accounting policy relates to the balance sheet captions ‘Deposit liabilities’, ‘Bills payable’, ‘Manager’s checks’, and financial liabilities
presented under ‘Accrued interest and other expenses’ and ‘Other liabilities’.
The Group may reclassify a non-derivative trading asset out of HFT investments and into the Loans and Receivable category if it meets the
definition of loans and receivables, the Group has the intention and ability to hold the financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity
and only in rare circumstances. If a financial asset is reclassified, and if the Group subsequently increases its estimates of future cash receipts
as a result of increased recoverability of those cash receipts, the effect of that increase is recognized as an adjustment to the EIR from the date
of the change in estimate.
For a financial asset reclassified out of the AFS financial assets category, any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognized in
OCI is amortized to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest method. Any difference between the new
amortized cost and the expected cash flows is also amortized over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest method. If the
asset is subsequently determined to be impaired then the amount recorded in OCI is recycled to the statement of income. Reclassification
is at the election of management, and is determined on an instrument by instrument basis. The Group does not reclassify any financial
instrument into the FVPL category after initial recognition. An analysis of reclassified financial assets is disclosed in Note 8.
• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
• the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay
to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or
• the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards
of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the
extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset
is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be
required to repay.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred).
The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original EIR.
If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current EIR, adjusted for the original credit risk
premium. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that
may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the statement of income.
Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original EIR of the asset. The financial assets, together with the associated allowance
accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized.
If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not,
it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Those
characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for
which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment for impairment.
For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit risk characteristics as industry,
collateral type, past-due status and term. Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are
estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss
experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which
the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of
changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with changes in related observable data from period to period (such as
changes in unemployment rates, property prices, commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in
the Group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group
to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was
recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the
recovery is credited to ‘Miscellaneous income’.
In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the
investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition
cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the statement of income - is removed
from OCI and recognized in the statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of
income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in OCI.
In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried
at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost
and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. Future interest income is based
on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring
impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. If, in subsequent years, the fair value of a
debt instrument increased and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the
statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income.
Restructured loans
Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment
arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due.
Management continuously reviews restructured loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loans
continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan’s original EIR. The difference between the
recorded value of the original loan and the present value of the restructured cash flows, discounted at the original EIR, is recognized in ‘Provision
for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income.
Investment in Associates
Associates pertain to all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of
between 20.00% and 50.00% of the voting rights. In the consolidated and parent company financial statements, investments in associates are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s
share of the net assets of the associates. Goodwill, if any, relating to an associate is included in the carrying value of the investment and is not
amortized. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognized
directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of
changes in equity.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables,
the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Profits or losses
resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
Dividends earned on this investment are recognized in the Parent Company’s statement of income as a reduction from the carrying value of
the investment.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company. Where necessary, adjustments
are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any
difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and
proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.
Investment in Subsidiaries
In the parent company financial statements, investment in subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method of accounting similar to the
investment in associates.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation
in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the
separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree
is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to
the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39, either
in profit or loss or as a charge to OCI. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled
within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized
for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the
net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, allocated to each of the
Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or
liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or group of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated:
• represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
• is not larger than an operating segment identified for segment reporting purposes.
Where goodwill forms part of a CGU (or group of CGUs) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with
the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation.
Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU
retained.
Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value remeasurement recognized directly in equity.
Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the carrying amount of the assets
distributed is recognized in the statement of income.
Construction-in-progress is stated at cost less any impairment in value. The initial cost comprises its construction cost and any directly
attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use, including borrowing costs. Construction-in-
progress is not depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are completed and put into operational use.
Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life (EUL) of the depreciable assets as
follows:
EUL
Buildings 50 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of 6 years or the related lease terms
The depreciation and amortization method and useful life are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation and
amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and
leasehold improvements.
An item of bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized.
Investment Properties
Investment properties include real properties acquired in settlement of loans and receivables which are measured initially at cost, including
certain transaction costs. Investment properties acquired through a nonmonetary asset exchange is measured initially at fair value unless
(a) the exchange lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable.
The difference between the fair value of the investment property upon foreclosure and the carrying value of the loan is recognized under
‘Gain on asset foreclosure and dacion transactions’ in the statement of income. Subsequent to initial recognition, depreciable investment
properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value except for land which is stated at cost
less impairment in value.
Expenditures incurred after the investment properties have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally
charged to income in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the remaining EUL of the building and improvement components of investment properties
which ranged from 10 to 33 years from the time of acquisition of the investment properties.
Investment properties are derecognized when they have either been disposed of or when the investment properties are permanently withdrawn
from use and no future benefit is expected from their disposal. Any gains or losses on the derecognition of an investment property are
recognized as ‘Gain on sale of investment properties’ in the statement of income in the year of derecognition.
Transfers are made to investment properties when, and only when, there is a change in use evidenced by ending of owner occupation,
commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment properties
when, and only when, there is a change in use evidenced by commencement of owner occupation or commencement of development with a
view to sale.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include software cost and branch licenses resulting from the Parent Company’s acquisition of CBSI, Unity Bank and PDB
(Notes 10 and 13).
Software costs
Costs related to software purchased by the Group for use in operations are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 to 10 years. The
amortization method and useful life are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of amortization are consistent with the
expected pattern of economic benefits embodied in the asset.
Branch licenses
The branch licenses are initially measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition and are deemed to have an indefinite useful life as there is
no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows for the Group.
Such intangible assets are not amortized, instead they are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the CGU level. Impairment is
determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the intangible asset relates. Recoverable amount
is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in earnings when the asset is derecognized.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or CGU’s) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual
asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which
case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the CGU to which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or CGU) exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset (or CGU) is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or CGU).
For nonfinancial assets, excluding goodwill and branch licenses, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is
any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed, except for goodwill, only if there has been a change
in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of
income. After such a reversal, the depreciation expense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value,
on a systematic basis over its remaining life.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment
of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use
the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:
(a) there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement; or
(b) a renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term; or
(c) there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or
(d) there is a substantial change to the asset.
Group as a lessee
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating
lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included in ‘Occupancy
cost’ in the statement of income.
Group as a lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease
term on the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
Capital Stock
Capital stocks are recorded at par. Proceeds in excess of par value are recognized under equity as ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’ in the
balance sheet. Incremental costs incurred which are directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction
from proceeds, net of tax.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably
measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable,
taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against
specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its
revenue arrangements.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Interest income
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial instruments classified as FVPL and AFS financial assets,
interest income is recorded at EIR, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected
life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options), includes any fees or
incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the EIR, as applicable, but not future credit losses.
The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original EIR. The change in carrying amount is recorded as ‘Interest income’.
Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income
continues to be recognized using the original EIR applied to the new carrying amount.
a. Fee income earned from services that are provided over a certain period of time
Fees earned for the provision of services over a period of time that are accrued over that period. These fees include investment fund fees,
custodian fees, fiduciary fees, commission income, credit related fees, asset management fees, portfolio and other management fees,
and advisory fees. Loan commitment fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with any incremental costs)
and recognized as an adjustment to the EIR on the loan. If the commitment expires without the Group making the loan, the commitment
fees are recognized as other income on expiry.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
Other income
Income from sale of service is recognized upon rendition of the service. Income from sale of properties is recognized upon completion of the
earning process and when the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.
Expense Recognition
Expense is recognized when it is probable that a decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an increase in liability
has occurred and the decrease in economic benefits can be measured reliably. Revenues and expenses that relate to the same transaction or
other event are recognized simultaneously.
Interest expense
Interest expense for all interest-bearing financial liabilities are recognized in ‘Interest expense’ in the statement of income using the EIR of the
financial liabilities to which they relate.
Other expenses
Expenses encompass losses as well as those expenses that arise in the ordinary course of business of the Group. Expenses are recognized
when incurred.
Retirement Benefits
Defined benefit plan
The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting
period reduced by the fair value of plan assets and adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined
by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the
terms of the related retirement liability. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from
the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method.
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as expense
in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment or curtailment occurs.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net defined benefit liability or asset that arises from
the passage of time which is determined by applying the discount rate based on Philippine government bonds to the net defined benefit liability
or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in profit or loss.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net
interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to
profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the
creditors of the Parent Company, nor can they be paid directly to the Parent Company. The fair value of plan assets is based on market price
information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a
discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they
have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related obligations).
The Parent Company’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined benefit obligation is recognized as a
separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is virtually certain. If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present
value of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits
available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic
benefits is probable.
Income Taxes
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as of the
reporting date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences, carry forward of unused tax credits from the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax
(RCIT), and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax credits from MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred
tax, however, is not recognized on temporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income.
Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries and
associates.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are
reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred
tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is
settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is also recognized in equity and not in the statement of income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Segment Reporting
The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided,
with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. Financial information
on business segments is presented in Note 30. The Group’s revenue producing assets are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical
location). Therefore, geographical segment information is no longer presented.
Fiduciary Activities
Assets and income arising from fiduciary activities together with related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the
financial statements where the Parent Company acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent.
The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in PFRS 12, other than those relating to summarized financial information, apply to an
entity’s interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate (or a portion of its interest in a joint venture or an associate) that is classified (or
included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale.
Application of amendments will result in additional disclosures in the 2017 financial statements of the Group and the Parent Company.
Amendments to PAS 12, Income Taxes, Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make
deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should
determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than
their carrying amount.
Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening
equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognized in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate),
without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that
fact. Early application of the amendments is permitted.
These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.
On adoption, entities are required to apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but retrospective application is permitted if elected
for all three amendments and if other criteria are met. Early application of the amendments is permitted.
Amendments to PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, Applying PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, with PFRS 4
The amendments address concerns arising from implementing PFRS 9, the new financial instruments standard before implementing the
forthcoming insurance contracts standard. They allow entities to choose between the overlay approach and the deferral approach to deal with
the transitional challenges. The overlay approach gives all entities that issue insurance contracts the option to recognize in other comprehensive
income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when PFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts standard is issued.
On the other hand, the deferral approach gives entities whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance an optional temporary
exemption from applying PFRS 9 until the earlier of application of the forthcoming insurance contracts standard or January 1, 2021.
These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.
The adoption of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets and impairment methodology
for financial assets, but will have no impact on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities and application of hedge
accounting. The adoption will also have an effect on the amount of its credit losses.
The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under PFRSs. Either a full
or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Amendments to PAS 28, Measuring an Associate or Joint Venture at Fair Value (Part of Annual Improvements to PFRSs 2014 - 2016 Cycle)
The amendments clarify that an entity that is a venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, may elect, at initial recognition on an
investment-by-investment basis, to measure its investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss. They also clarify
that if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may,
when applying the equity method, elect to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the
investment entity associate’s or joint venture’s interests in subsidiaries. This election is made separately for each investment entity associate or
joint venture, at the later of the date on which (a) the investment entity associate or joint venture is initially recognized; (b) the associate or joint
venture becomes an investment entity; and (c) the investment entity associate or joint venture first becomes a parent. The amendments should
be applied retrospectively, with earlier application permitted.
The accounting by lessors is substantially unchanged as the new standard carries forward the principles of lessor accounting under PAS 17.
Lessors, however, will be required to disclose more information in their financial statements, particularly on the risk exposure to residual value.
Entities may early adopt PFRS 16 but only if they have also adopted PFRS 15. When adopting PFRS 16, an entity is permitted to use either a
full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach, with options to use certain transition reliefs.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make judgments and estimates that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at reporting date.
Future events may occur which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any
change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.
Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Judgments
a. Fair value of financial instruments
The Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the
evaluation on whether a financial asset is quoted in an active market is the determination of whether quoted prices are readily and regularly
available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions conducted on an arm’s length basis.
Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes cannot be
derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques acceptable to the market as alternative valuation
approaches that include the use of mathematical models. All financial models are certified before they are used and are calibrated to
ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, the financial models use only observable
data, however, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates.
Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial instruments (Note 5).
c. Contingencies
The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been
developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential
results. The Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. It is
possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the
strategies relating to these proceedings.
Estimates
a. Credit losses on loans and receivables
The Group reviews its loans and receivables at each reporting date to assess whether an allowance for credit losses should be recorded
in the balance sheet and any changes thereto in the statement of income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the
estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of allowance required. Such estimates are based on
assumptions about a number of factors. Actual results may also differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance.
In addition to specific allowance against individually significant loans and receivables, the Group also makes a collective impairment
assessment on exposures which, although not specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than
when originally granted. The resulting collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the internal rating of the loan or investment
since it was granted or acquired.
The carrying values of loans and receivables and the related allowance for credit losses of the Group and the Parent Company are
disclosed in Notes 9 and 15.
The Group also assesses impairment on its nonfinancial assets (e.g., investment properties and bank premises, furniture, fixtures and
equipment) and considers the following impairment indicators:
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Except for investment
properties where recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost to sell, the recoverable amount of all other nonfinancial
assets is determined based on the asset’s value in use computation which considers the present value of estimated future cash flows
expected to be generated from the continued use of the asset. The Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that can
materially affect the carrying amount of the asset being assessed.
The carrying values of the Group’s investments in subsidiaries and associate and other nonfinancial assets are disclosed in Notes 10, 11
and 12, respectively.
The carrying values of the Group’s goodwill and branch licenses are disclosed in Note 13.
The assumed discount rates were determined using the market yields on Philippine government bonds with terms consistent with the
expected employee benefit payout as of the reporting date. Refer to Note 23 for the details on the assumptions used in the calculation.
The present value of the retirement obligation and fair value of plan assets are disclosed in Note 23.
The Group believes it will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize its recorded deferred tax assets. Taxable
income is sourced mainly from interest income from lending activities and earnings from service charge, fees, commissions and trust
activities.
The recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets are disclosed in Note 26.
The following table presents the total carrying amount of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s financial instruments per category:
The Group has assets and liabilities in the consolidated and Parent Company balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a recurring
and non-recurring basis after initial recognition. Recurring fair value measurements are those that another PFRS requires or permits to be
recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at the end of each financial reporting period. These include financial assets and liabilities at FVPL
and AFS financial assets. Non-recurring fair value measurements are those that another PFRS requires or permits to be recognized in the
consolidated balance sheet in particular circumstances. For example, PFRS 5 requires an entity to measure an asset held for sale at the lower
of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Since the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is only recognized in the balance sheet when
it is lower than its carrying amount, that fair value measurement is non-recurring.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, except for the following financial instruments, the carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and
liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets and related notes approximate their respective fair values:

The methods and assumptions used by the Group and Parent Company in estimating the fair values of the financial instruments follow:
Cash and other cash items, due from BSP and other banks, interbank loans receivables and accrued interest receivable - The carrying amounts
approximate their fair values in view of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.
Debt securities - Fair values are generally based on quoted market prices. If the market prices are not readily available, fair values are estimated
using either values obtained from independent parties offering pricing services or adjusted quoted market prices of comparable investments or
using the discounted cash flow methodology.
Equity securities - For publicly traded equity securities, fair values are based on quoted prices. For unquoted equity securities for which no
reliable basis for fair value measurement is available, these are carried at cost net of impairment, if any.
Loans and receivables and sales contracts receivable (SCR) included in other assets - Fair values of loans and receivables and SCR are
estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s current incremental lending
rates for similar types of loans and receivables.
Accounts receivable, returned checks and other cash items (RCOCI) and other financial assets included in other assets - Quoted market prices
are not readily available for these assets. These are reported at cost and are not significant in relation to the Group’s total portfolio of securities.
Derivative instruments (included under FVPL) - Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices provided by independent parties or
accepted valuation models (either based on discounted cash flow techniques or option pricing models, as applicable).
Deposit liabilities (time, demand and savings deposits) - Fair values of time deposits are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology,
where future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings and with maturities
consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued. For demand and savings deposits, carrying amounts approximate fair values
considering that these are currently due and demandable.
Bills payable - Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the current
incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings and with maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued.
Manager’s checks and accrued interest and other expenses - Carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of the
accounts.
Other liabilities - Quoted market prices are not readily available for these liabilities. These are reported at cost and are not significant in relation
to the Group’s total portfolio.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements
in 2016 and 2015.
The inputs used in the fair value measurement based on Level 2 are as follows:
Government securities - interpolated rates based on market rates of benchmark securities as of reporting date.
Private bonds and commercial papers - quoted market price of comparable investments with credit risk premium that is insignificant to the
entire fair value measurement.
Derivative assets and liabilities - fair values are calculated by reference to the prevailing interest differential and spot exchange rate as of the
reporting date, taking into account the remaining term to maturity of the derivative assets and liabilities.
Inputs used in estimating fair values of financial instruments carried at cost and categorized under Level 3 include risk-free rates and applicable
risk premium.
The fair values of the Group’s and Parent Company’s investment properties have been determined by the appraisal method by independent
external and in-house appraisers based on highest and best use of property being appraised. Valuations were derived on the basis of recent
sales of similar properties in the same areas as the investment properties and taking into account the economic conditions prevailing at the time
the valuations were made and comparability of similar properties sold with the property being valued.
The table below summarizes the valuation techniques used and the significant unobservable inputs valuation for each type of investment
properties held by the Group and the Parent Company:
Description of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Group and the Parent Company’s
investment properties are as follows:
Valuation Techniques
Market Data Approach A process of comparing the subject property being appraised to similar comparable properties recently
sold or being offered for sale.
Cost Approach It is an estimate of the investment required to duplicate the property in its present condition. It is reached
by estimating the value of the building “as if new” and then deducting the depreciated cost. Fundamental
to the Cost Approach is the estimate of Reproduction Cost New of the improvements.
Size Size of lot in terms of area. Evaluate if the lot size of property or comparable conforms to the average cut
of the lots in the area and estimate the impact of lot size differences on land value.
Shape Particular form or configuration of the lot. A highly irregular shape limits the usable area whereas an ideal
lot configuration maximizes the usable area of the lot which is associated in designing an improvement
which conforms with the highest and best use of the property.
Location Location of comparative properties whether on a Main Road, or secondary road. Road width could also
be a consideration if data is available. As a rule, properties located along a Main Road are superior to
properties located along a secondary road.
Time Element “An adjustment for market conditions is made if general property values have appreciated or depreciated
since the transaction dates due to inflation or deflation or a change in investors’ perceptions of the market
over time”. In which case, the current data is superior to historic data.
Discount Generally, asking prices in ads posted for sale are negotiable. Discount is the amount the seller or
developer is willing to deduct from the posted selling price if the transaction will be in cash or equivalent.
The Group’s activities are principally related to the profitable use of financial instruments. Risks are inherent in these activities but are managed
by the Group through a rigorous, comprehensive and continuous process of identification, measurement, monitoring and mitigation of these
risks, partly through the effective use of risk and authority limits and thresholds, process controls and monitoring, and independent controls.
As reflected in its corporate actions and organizational improvements, the Group has placed due importance on expanding and strengthening
its risk management process and considers it as a vital component to the Group’s continuing profitability and financial stability. Central to the
Group’s risk management process is its adoption of a risk management program intended to avoid unnecessary risks, manage and mitigate
unavoidable risks and maximize returns from taking acceptable risks necessary to sustain its business viability and good financial position in
the market.
The BOD has delegated to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) the implementation of the risk management process which includes,
among others, the development of various risk strategies and principles, control guidelines policies and procedures, implementation of risk
measurement tools, monitoring of key risk indicators, and the imposition and monitoring of risk limits and thresholds. The RMC is composed
of four members of the BOD.
The Risk Management Group (RMG) is the direct support of the RMC in the day-to-day risk management and the implementation of the risk
management strategies approved by the RMC. The implementation cuts across all departments of the Parent Company and involves all of the
Parent Company’s financial instruments, whether “on-books” or “off-books.” The RMG is likewise responsible for monitoring the implementation
of specific risk control procedures and enforcing compliance thereto. The RMG is also directly involved in the day-to-day risk measurement
and monitoring to make sure that the Parent Company, in its transactions and dealings, engages only in acceptable and manageable financial
risks. The RMG also ensures that risk measurements are accurately and completely captured on a timely basis in the management reporting
system of the Parent Company. The RMG regularly reports the results of the risk measurements to the RMC. The RMG is headed by the Chief
Risk Officer (CRO).
Apart from RMG, each business unit has created and put in place various process controls which ensure that all the external and internal
transactions and dealings of the unit are in compliance with the unit’s risk management objectives.
The Internal Audit Division also plays a crucial role in risk management primarily because it is independent of the business units and reports
exclusively to the Audit Committee which, in turn, is comprised of independent directors. The Internal Audit Division focuses on ensuring that
adequate controls are in place and on monitoring compliance to controls. The regular audit covers all processes and controls, including those
under the risk management framework handled by the RMG. The audit of these processes and controls is undertaken at least annually. The
audit results and exceptions, including recommendations for their resolution or improvement, are discussed initially with the business units
concerned before these are presented to the Audit Committee.
The key risk indicators were formulated on the basis of the financial risks faced by the Parent Company. The key risk indicators contain
information from all business units that provide measurements on the level of the risks taken by the Parent Company in its products, transactions
and financial structure. Among others, the report on key risk indicators includes information on the Parent Company’s aggregate credit
exposure, credit metric forecasts, hold limit exceptions, Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis, utilization of market and credit limits and thresholds,
liquidity risk limits and ratios, overall loan loss provisioning and risk profile changes. Loan loss provisioning and credit limit utilization are,
however, discussed in more detail in the Credit Committee. On a monthly basis, detailed reporting of single-name and sectoral concentration
is included in the discussion with the RMC. On the other hand, the Chief Internal Auditor reports to the Audit Committee on a monthly basis on
the results of branch or business unit audits and for the resolution of pending but important internal audit issues.
In 2016, the Asset and Liability Management (ALM) system of the Parent Company, measures and reports liquidity risk and interest rate risk
was upgraded in 2016 and will include new modules for calculating Basel III’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio
(NSFR) in 2017. Similarly, the Market Risk Management System, enhances risk measurement and automates reporting of market risk metrics,
has been implemented in 2016.
Risk Mitigation
The Parent Company uses derivatives to manage exposures in its financial instruments resulting from changes in interest rates and foreign
currencies exposures. However, the nature and extent of use of these financial instruments to mitigate risks are limited to those allowed by the
BSP for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.
To further mitigate risks throughout its different business units, the Parent Company formulates risk management policies and continues to
improve its existing policies. These policies further serve as the framework and set of guidelines in the creation or revisions of operating policies
and manuals for each business unit. In the process design and implementation, preventive controls are preferred over detection controls. Clear
delineation of responsibilities and separation of incompatible duties among officers and staff, as well as, among business units are reiterated
in these policies. To the extent possible, reporting and accounting responsibilities are segregated from units directly involved in operations
and front line activities (i.e., players must not be scorers). This is to improve the credibility and accuracy of management information. Any
inconsistencies in the operating policies and manuals with the risk framework created by the RMG are taken up and resolved in the RMC and
ManCom.
Based on the approved Operational Risk Assessment Program, RMG spearheaded the bankwide (all Head Office units and branches) risk
identification and self-assessment process. This would enable determination of priority risk areas, assessment of mitigating controls in place,
and institutionalization of additional measures to ensure a controlled operating environment. RMG was also mandated to maintain and update
the Parent Company’s Centralized Loss Database wherein all reported incidents of losses shall be encoded to enable assessment of weaknesses
in the processes and come up with viable improvements to avoid recurrence.
Monitoring and controlling risks are primarily performed based on various limits and thresholds established by the top management covering the
Group’s transactions and dealings. These limits and thresholds reflect the Group’s business strategies and market environment, as well as the
levels of risks that the Group is willing to tolerate, with additional emphasis on selected industries. In addition, the Parent Company monitors
and measures the overall risk-bearing capacity in relation to the aggregate risk exposure across all risk types and activities.
Liquidity and interest rate risk exposures are measured and monitored through reports from the ALM system. The system also has a Funds
Transfer Pricing module used by the Treasury Group and Corporate Planning Group.
For the measurement of market risk exposures, the Bank uses Historical Simulation VaR approach for all treasury traded instruments, including
fixed income bonds, foreign exchange swaps and forwards, interest rate swaps and equity securities. Market risk exposures are measured and
monitored through reports from the Market Risk Management System which has been implemented in 2016 to enhance risk measurement and
automate daily reporting.
BSP issued Circular No. 639 dated January 15, 2009 which mandated the use of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)
by all universal and commercials banks to determine their minimum required capital relative to their business risk exposures. In this regard, the
Board approved the engagement of the services of a consultant to assist in the bank-wide implementation and embedding of the ICAAP, as
provided for under Pillar 2 of Basel II and BSP Circular No. 639.
On April 6, 2016, the BOD affirmed that the priority risks set in the 2009 Risk Self-assessment Survey and voting conducted among selected
members of the BOD and Senior Management remain the same on the basis that there is no significant change in either the business model of
the Bank or its ownership structure. In addition, the BOD also approved the CET1 ratio limit and the revised Management Action Trigger (MAT)
on capital ratios, as well as the metrics for determining significant change in the balance sheet. There were no changes made in the approved
trigger events for the review of Priority Risks and Capital Ratios threshold.
The Parent Company submitted its annually updated ICAAP document, in compliance with BSP requirements on March 31, 2016. The
document disclosed that the Parent Company has an appropriate level of internal capital relative to the Group’s risk profile.
For the ICAAP document submitted on March 31, 2016, the Parent Company retained the Pillar 1 Plus approach using the Pillar 1 capital as
the baseline. The process of allocating capital for all types of risks above the Pillar 1 capital levels was enhanced to include quantification of
capital buffer for Pillar 2 risks under normal business cycle/condition, in addition to the quantification based on the results of the Integrated
Stress Test (IST). The adoption of the IST allows the Parent Company to quantify its overall vulnerability to market shocks and operational losses
in a collective manner driven by events rather than in silo. The capital assessment in the document discloses that the Group and the Parent
Company has appropriate and sufficient level of internal capital.
Credit Risk
Credit Risk and Concentration of Assets and Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Items
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss on account of a counterparty to a financial product failing to honor its obligation. The Group faces potential
credit risks every time it extends funds to borrowers, commits funds to counterparties, guarantees the paying performance of its clients, invests
funds to issuers (i.e., investment securities issued by either sovereign or corporate entities) or enters into either market-traded or over-the-
counter derivatives, through implied or actual contractual agreements (i.e., on or off-balance sheet exposures). The Group manages its credit
risk at various levels (i.e., strategic level, portfolio level down to individual credit or transaction).
The Group established risk limits and thresholds for purposes of monitoring and managing credit risk from individual counterparties and/or
groups of counterparties, as well as industry divisions. It also conducts periodical assessment of the creditworthiness of its counterparties. In
addition, the Group obtains collateral where appropriate, enters into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties,
and limits the duration of exposures.
In compliance with BSP requirements, the Group established an internal Credit Risk Rating System (CRRS) for the purpose of measuring credit
risk for corporate borrowers in a consistent manner, as accurately as possible, and thereafter uses the risk information for business and financial
decision making. The CRRS covers corporate borrowers with total assets, total facilities, or total credit exposures amounting to P15.00 million
and above.
On March 5, 2014, the Parent Company approved the engagement of a third-party consultant, Moody’s Analytics, for the quantitative and
qualitative validation of the internal CRRS. The validation engagement was completed in December 2014 followed by the model recalibration,
closing the project in December 2015.
Aside from the internal CRRS, the Parent Company launched in 2011 the Borrower Credit Score (BCS), a credit scoring system designed for
retail small and medium entities and individual loan accounts. In 2016, RMG completed the statistical validation of the BCS using the same
methodology applied to the validation of the corporate risk rating model. The validation process was conducted with the assistance of Teradata
which provided the analytics platform, tools and technical guidance for both credit model performance assessment and recalibration.
Furthermore, RMG also developed a Sovereign Risk Rating Model, which provided the tool for the Bank to assess the strength of the country
rated in reference to its economic fundamentals, fiscal policy, institutional strength, and vulnerability to extreme events. The Model was approved
by the Board on September 7, 2016.
The Group has not yet applied the above models for its loan loss provisioning.
In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Parent Company’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines focusing on
maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.

For the Parent Company, the fair values of collateral held for loans and receivables and sales contracts receivable amounted to P202.74 billion
and P1.36 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2016 and P123.76 billion and P1.24 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.
Credit risk, in respect of derivative financial products, is limited to those with positive fair values, which are included under financial assets at
FVPL (Note 8). As a result, the maximum credit risk, without taking into account the fair value of any collateral and netting agreements, is limited
to the amounts on the balance sheet plus commitments to customers such as unused commercial letters of credit, outstanding guarantees and
others as disclosed in Note 29 to the financial statements.
Management requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement and takes into consideration the market value of
collateral during its review of the adequacy of allowance for credit losses.
It is the Group’s policy to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly fashion. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding
claim. In most cases, the Parent Company does not occupy repossessed properties for business use.
Collaterals foreclosed in 2016 and 2015 and are still held by the Group as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to P835.30 million and
P848.48 million, respectively. These collaterals comprised of real estate properties and stock securities.
It is the Parent Company’s policy to maintain accurate and consistent risk ratings across the credit portfolio. This facilitates focused management
of the applicable risks and the comparison of credit exposures across all lines of business, geographic regions and products. The rating system
is supported by a variety of financial analytics, combined with processed market information to provide the main inputs for the measurement of
counterparty risk. All internal risk ratings are tailored to the various categories and are derived in accordance with the Parent Company’s rating
policy. The attributable risk ratings are assessed and monitored regularly. The standard credit rating equivalent grades are relevant only for
certain exposures in each risk rating class.
The following table shows the description of the internal CRRS grade:
Excellent - This category applies to a borrower with a very low probability of going into default in the coming year. The borrower has a high
degree of stability, substance, and diversity. It has access to raise substantial amounts of funds through the public markets at any time. The
borrower has a very strong debt service capacity and a conservative use of balance sheet leverage. The track record in profit terms is very
good. The borrower is of highest quality under virtually all economic conditions.
Strong - This category applies to a borrower with a low probability of going into default in the coming year. The borrower normally has a
comfortable degree of stability, substance, and diversity. Under normal market conditions, the borrower in this category has good access to
public markets to raise funds. The borrower has a strong market and financial position with a history of successful performance. The overall
debt service capacity as measured by cash flow to total debt service is deemed very strong; the critical balance sheet ratios (vis-à-vis industry)
are conservative.
Good - This category covers the smaller corporations with limited access to public capital markets or access to alternative financial markets.
This access is however limited to favorable economic and/or market conditions. Typical for this type of borrower is the combination of
comfortable asset protection and acceptable balance sheet structure (vis-à-vis industry). The debt service capacity, as measured based on
cash flows, is strong.
Satisfactory - This category represents the borrower where clear risk elements exist and the probability of default is somewhat greater. This
probability is reflected in volatility of earnings and overall performance. The borrower in this category normally has limited access to public
financial markets. The borrower should be able to withstand normal business cycles, but any prolonged unfavorable economic period would
create deterioration beyond acceptable levels. Typical for this kind of borrower is the combination of reasonably sound asset and cash flow
protection. The debt service capacity as measured by cash flow is deemed adequate. The borrower has reported profits for the past fiscal year
and is expected to report a profit in the current year.
Acceptable - The risk elements for the Parent Company are sufficiently pronounced, although the borrower should still be able to withstand
normal business cycles. Any prolonged unfavorable economic and/or market period would create an immediate deterioration beyond
acceptable levels.
Watchlist - This category represents the borrower for which unfavorable industry or company-specific risk factors represent a concern. Operating
performance and financial strength may be marginal and it is uncertain whether the borrower can attract alternative sources of financing. The
borrower will find it very hard to cope with any significant economic downturn and a default in such a case is more than a possibility. It includes
the borrower where the credit exposure is not a risk of loss at the moment, but the performance of the borrower has weakened, and unless
present trends are reversed, could lead to losses.
Especially Mentioned - This category applies to the borrower that is characterized by a reasonable probability of default, manifested by some
or all the following: (a) evidence of weakness in the borrower’s financial condition or creditworthiness; (b) unacceptable risk is generated by
potential or emerging weaknesses as far as asset protection and/or cash flow is concerned; (c) the borrower has reached a point where there
is a real risk that the borrower’s ability to pay the interest and repay the principal timely could be jeopardized; (d) the borrower is expected
to have financial difficulties and exposure may be at risk. Closer account management attention is warranted. Concerted efforts should be
made to improve lender’s position (e.g., demanding additional collateral or reduction of account exposure). These potential weaknesses, if left
uncorrected or unmitigated, would affect the repayment of the loan and, thus, increase credit risk to the Parent Company.
Substandard - This category represents the borrower where one or more of the following factors apply: (a) the collection of principal or interest
becomes questionable regardless of scheduled payment date, by reason of adverse developments on account of a financial, managerial,
economic, or political nature, or by important weaknesses in cover; (b) the probability of default is assessed at up to 50%. Substandard
loans are loans or portions thereof which appear to involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the Parent Company because of
unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics. There exists in such loans the possibility of future loss to the Parent Company unless given
closer supervision.
Doubtful - This category includes the borrower with “non-performing loan” status or with any portion of interest and/or principal payment is
in arrears for more than ninety (90) days. The borrower is unable or unwilling to service debt over an extended period of time and near future
prospects of orderly debt service is doubtful. Doubtful loans are loans or portions thereof which have the weaknesses inherent in those
classified as “Substandard”, with the added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly
improbable and in which substantial loss is probable.
Loss - This category represents the borrower whose prospect for re-establishment of creditworthiness and debt service is remote. It also
applies where the Parent Company will take or has taken title to the assets of the borrower and is preparing a foreclosure and/or liquidation of
the borrower’s business. These are loans or portions thereof which are considered uncollectible or worthless and of such little value that their
continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value.
The Group’s loans and receivables from customers were classified according to credit quality as follows:

Depository accounts with the BSP and counterparty banks, Trading and Investment Securities
For these financial assets, outstanding exposure is rated primarily based on external risk rating (i.e. Standard and Poor’s (S&P), otherwise, rating
is based on risk grades by a local rating agency or included under “Unrated”, when the counterparty has no available risk grade.
The external risk rating of the Group’s depository accounts with the BSP and counterparty banks, trading and investment securities, is grouped
as follows:
Credit Quality Rating External Credit Risk Rating Credit Rating Agency
High grade AAA, AA+, AA, AA- S&P
Aaa, Aa1, Aa2, Aa3 Moody’s
AAA, AA+, AA, AA- Fitch
Standard grade A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBB- S&P
A1, A2, A3, Baa1, Baa2, Baa3 Moody’s
A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBB- Fitch
Substandard grade BB+, BB, BB-, B/B+, CCC, R, SD & D S&P
Ba1, Ba2, Ba3, B1, B2, R, SD & D Moody’s
BB+, BB, BB-, B/B+, CCC, R, SD & D Fitch
Following is the credit rating scale applicable for foreign banks, and government securities (aligned with S&P ratings):
AAA - An obligor has extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments.
AA - An obligor has very strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. It differs from the highest-rated obligors at a minimal degree.
A - An obligor has strong capacity to meet its financial commitments but is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than obligors in higher-rated categories.
BBB - An obligor has adequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments.
BB - An obligor is less vulnerable in the near term than other lower-rated obligors. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure
to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.
B - An obligor is more vulnerable than the obligors rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments.
CCC - An obligor is currently vulnerable and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet
its financial commitments.
CC - An obligor is currently vulnerable. The rating is used when a default has not yet occurred, but expects default to be a virtual certainty,
regardless of the anticipated time to default.
R - An obligor is under regulatory supervision owing to its financial condition. During the pendency of the regulatory supervision, the regulators
may have the power to favor one class of obligations over others or pay some obligations and not others.

PRSAaa - The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.
PRSAa - The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.
PRSA - With favorable investment attributes and are considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Although obligations rated ‘PRSA’ are
somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in economic conditions, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation is still strong.
PRSBaa - An obligation rated ‘PRSBaa’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions and changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. PRSBaa-rated
issues may possess certain speculative characteristics.
PRSBa - An obligation rated ‘PRSBa’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties relating to business, financial or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.
PRSB - An obligation rated ‘PRSB’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘PRSBa’, but the obligor currently has the capacity
to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation. The issue is characterized by high credit risk.
PRSCaa - An obligation rated ‘PRSCaa’ is presently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and
economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse economic conditions, the
obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The issue is considered to be of poor standing and
is subject to very high credit risk.
PRSCa - An obligation rated “PRSCa” is presently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. Likely already in or very near default with some prospect
for partial recovery of principal or interest.
PRSC - An obligation is already in default with very little prospect for any recovery of principal or interest.

The following table presents the carrying amount of financial assets of the Group and Parent Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 that
would have been considered past due or impaired if not renegotiated:
Impairment assessment
The main considerations for the loan impairment assessment include whether any payment of principal or interest is overdue by more than
90 days, or there are known difficulties in the cash flows of counterparties, credit rating downgrades, or infringement of the original terms
of the contract. The Group addresses impairment assessment in two areas: individually assessed allowances and collectively assessed
allowances.
The collective assessment takes account of impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio even though there is no objective evidence
of the impairment yet per an individual assessment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following information:
historical losses on the portfolio, current economic conditions, the approximate delay between the time a loss is likely to have been incurred and
the time it will be identified as requiring an individually assessed impairment allowance, and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired.
Management is responsible for deciding the length of this period which can extend for as long as one year. The impairment allowance is then
reviewed by credit management to ensure alignment with the Group’s overall policy.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may result from changes in the value of a financial product. The Parent Company’s market risk originates from
its holdings of domestic and foreign-denominated debt securities, foreign exchange instruments, equities, foreign exchange derivatives and
interest rate derivatives.
VaR assumptions
The Parent Company calculates the Bankwide VaR in certain trading activities. The Parent Company uses the Historical Simulation Full Valuation
approach to measure VaR for all treasury traded instruments, using a 99% confidence level and a 1-day holding period.
The use of a 99% confidence level means that, within a one day horizon, losses exceeding the VaR figure should occur, on average, not more
than once every hundred days. The validity of the VaR model is verified through back testing, which examines how frequently actual and
hypothetical daily losses exceeds daily VaR. The Parent Company measures and monitors the VaR and profit and loss on a daily basis.
Since VaR is an integral part of the Parent Company’s market risk management, VaR limits have been established for all trading positions and
exposures are reviewed daily against the limits by management. Further, stress testing is performed for monitoring extreme events.
In practice, the actual trading results will differ from the VaR calculation and, in particular, the calculation does not provide a meaningful indication
of profits and losses in stressed market conditions. To determine the reliability of the VaR models, actual outcomes are monitored regularly to
test the validity of the assumptions and the parameters used in the VaR calculation. Market risk positions are also subject to regular stress tests
to ensure that the Group would withstand an extreme market event.
A summary of the VaR position of the trading portfolio of the Parent Company is as follows:

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 51.89% and 58.48% of the Group’s total loan portfolio, respectively, comprised of floating rate loans
which are repriced periodically by reference to the transfer pool rate which reflects the Group’s internal cost of funds. In keeping with banking
industry practice, the Group aims to achieve stability and lengthen the term structure of its deposit base, while providing adequate liquidity to
cover transactional banking requirements of customers.
Interest is paid on demand accounts, which constituted 25.96% and 27.61% of total deposits of the Parent Company as of December 31,
2016 and 2015, respectively.
Interest is paid on savings accounts and time deposits accounts, which constitute 28.19% and 45.85%, respectively, of total deposits of the
Parent Company as of December 31, 2016, and 27.77% and 44.62%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.
Savings account interest rates are set by reference to prevailing market rates, while interest rates on time deposits and special savings accounts
are usually priced by reference to prevailing rates of short-term government bonds and other money market instruments, or, in the case of
foreign currency deposits, inter-bank deposit rates and other benchmark deposit rates in international money markets with similar maturities.
The Group is likewise exposed to fair value interest rate risk due to its holdings of fixed rate government bonds as part of its AFS and FVPL
portfolios. Market values of these investments are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.
The following table provides for the average effective interest rates of the Group and of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2016 and
2015:

The asset-liability gap analysis method is used by the Group to measure the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations.
This analysis measures the Group’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates. The repricing gap is calculated by first distributing the assets
and liabilities contained in the Group’s balance sheet into tenor buckets according to the time remaining to the next repricing date (or the time
remaining to maturity if there is no repricing), and then obtaining the difference between the total of the repricing (interest rate sensitive) assets
and the total of repricing (interest rate sensitive) liabilities.
A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. A gap is
considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.
Accordingly, during a period of rising interest rates, a bank with a positive gap would be in a position to invest in higher yielding assets earlier
than it would need to refinance its interest rate sensitive liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, a bank with a positive gap would
tend to see its interest rate sensitive assets repricing earlier than its interest rate sensitive liabilities, restraining the growth of its net income or
resulting in a decline in net interest income.

The Group also monitors its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by using scenario analysis to estimate the impact of interest rate movements
on its interest income. This is done by modeling the impact to the Group’s interest income and interest expenses to parallel changes in the
interest rate curve in a given 12-month period.
The following table sets forth the estimated change in the Group’s and Parent Company’s annualized net interest income due to a parallel
change in the interest rate curve as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Foreign exchange liabilities generally consist of foreign currency-denominated deposits in the Group’s FCDU account made in the Philippines
or generated from remittances to the Philippines by persons overseas who retain for their own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, foreign
currency deposit accounts with the Group.
Foreign currency liabilities are generally used to fund the Group’s foreign exchange assets which generally consist of foreign currency-
denominated loans and investments in the FCDU. Banks are required by the BSP to match the foreign currency-denominated assets with
liabilities held in the FCDU that are denominated in the same foreign currency. In addition, the BSP requires a 30.00% liquidity reserve on all
foreign currency-denominated liabilities held in the FCDU.
The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within existing regulations, and within acceptable risk limits. The Group believes in
ensuring its foreign currency is at all times within limits prescribed for financial institutions who are engaged in the same types of businesses in
which the Group and its subsidiaries are engaged.
The table below summarizes the Group’s and Parent Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk. Included in the table are the Group’s and

The Parent Company’s liquidity management involves maintaining funding capacity to accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due
to changes in the Parent Company’s business operations or unanticipated events created by customer behavior or capital market conditions.
The Parent Company seeks to ensure liquidity through a combination of active management of liabilities, a liquid asset portfolio composed of
deposits reserves and high quality securities, the securing of money market lines, and the maintenance of repurchase facilities to address any
unexpected liquidity situations.
The table below shows the maturity profile of the Parent Company’s assets and liabilities, based on contractual undiscounted cash flows
(in millions):
Liquidity risk is monitored and controlled primarily by a gap analysis of maturities of relevant assets and liabilities reflected in the MCO report,
as well as an analysis of available liquid assets. Instead of relying solely on contractual maturities profile, the Parent Company uses Behavioral
MCO to capture a going concern view. Furthermore, internal liquidity ratios and monitoring of large funds providers have been set to determine
sufficiency of liquid assets over deposit liabilities. In 2016, the Bank started submitting quarterly Liquidity Coverage Ratio as prescribed by
the BSP for a 2 year observation period. Liquidity is managed by the Parent and subsidiaries on a daily basis, while scenario stress tests are
conducted periodically.
Financial assets designated at FVPL of the Parent Company consist of investments in shares of stocks which contain multiple embedded
derivatives which are deemed not clearly and closely related to its equity host. In this regard, PAS 39 provides that if a contract contains one or
more embedded derivatives, an entity may designate the entire hybrid contract at FVPL unless the embedded derivative does not significantly
modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract, or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar hybrid instrument
is first considered that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited. On this basis, management has determined that the investments
shall be designated as at FVPL.
Dividends earned by the Parent Company from its investment in shares designated at FVPL amounted to P182.13 million, P247.10 million and
P301.58 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively (Note 20).
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, HFT securities include fair value loss of P63.97 million and P14.47 million, respectively, for the Group, and
fair value loss of P51.06 million and P16.89 million, respectively, for the Parent Company. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on HFT
and financial assets designated at FVPL are included under ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ (Note 20).
Effective interest rates for foreign currency-denominated financial assets at FVPL for the Parent Company range from 0.99% to 6.80% in 2016,
from 2.50% to 10.63% in 2015, and from 2.75% to 10.63% in 2014.

The BSP considers that loan concentration exists when the total loan exposure to a particular industry or economic sector exceeds 30.00%
of total loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Parent Company does not have credit concentration in any particular industry.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, secured and unsecured non-performing loans (NPLs) of the Group and the Parent Company follow:
Generally, NPLs refer to loans whose principal and/or interest is unpaid for thirty (30) days or more after due date or after they have become
past due in accordance with existing BSP rules and regulations. This shall apply to loans payable in lump sum and loans payable in quarterly,
semi-annual, or annual installments, in which case, the total outstanding balance thereof shall be considered nonperforming.
In the case of loans that are payable in monthly installments, the total outstanding balance thereof shall be considered nonperforming when
three (3) or more installments are in arrears.
In the case of loans that are payable in daily, weekly, or semi-monthly installments, the total outstanding balance thereof shall be considered
nonperforming at the same time that they become past due in accordance with existing BSP regulations, i.e., the entire outstanding balance of
the receivable shall be considered as past due when the total amount of arrearages reaches twenty percent (20.00%) of the total loan balance.
Loans are classified as nonperforming in accordance with BSP regulations, or when, in the opinion of management, collection of interest
or principal is doubtful. Loans are not reclassified as performing until interest and principal payments are brought current or the loans are
restructured in accordance with existing BSP regulations, and future payments appear assured.
Loans which do not meet the requirements to be treated as performing loans shall also be considered as NPLs. Gross and net NPLs of the
Parent Company as reported to BSP amounted to P3.73 billion and P1.42 billion, respectively, in 2016 and P5.00 billion and P1.82 billion,
respectively, in 2015. Gross and net NPL ratios of the Parent Company are 1.12% and 0.43%, respectively, in 2016 and 1.89% and 0.69%,
respectively, in 2015.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 52.53% and 58.86%, respectively, of the total receivables from customers of the Group were subject to
interest repricing. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 53.29% and 62.10%, respectively, of the total receivables from customers of the Parent
Company were subject to interest repricing. Remaining receivables carry annual fixed interest rates ranging from 1.00% to 11.00% in 2016,
from 1.82% to 8.00% in 2015, and from 0.98% to 10.50% in 2014 for foreign currency-denominated receivables and from 1.00% to 30.00%
in 2016 and 2015, and from 1.25% to 29.00% in 2014 for peso-denominated receivables.

Cost of investment includes the original amount incurred by the Parent Company from its acquisition of CBSI in 2007 amounting to
P1.07 billion, additional acquisition of non-controlling interest in 2015 of P2.52 million, capital infusion of P1.5 billion, P1.0 billion, and P2.0 billion
on December 31, 2016, September 29, 2016, and December 16, 2015, respectively, and P4.68 billion worth of CBSI common shares received
in connection with the merger of CBSI and PDB on December 31, 2015.
The capital infusions to CBSI were approved by the Parent Company’s Executive Committee on December 1, 2016, September 21, 2016,
and December 16, 2016. The December 16, 2015 infusion was made to comply with the BSP’s mandate for the final approval of the merger
between CBSI and PDB.
On November 6, 2015, the BSP issued the Certificate of Authority on the Articles of Merger and the Plan of Merger, as amended, of CBSI
and PDB.
On December 17, 2015, CBSI obtained SEC’s approval of its merger with PDB, whereby the entire assets and liabilities of PDB shall be
transferred to and absorbed by CBSI.
Acquisition of PDB
In 2014, the Parent Company made tender offers to non-controlling stockholders of PDB. As of December 31, 2014, the Parent Company
owns 99.85% and 100.00% of PDB’s outstanding common and preferred stocks, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, the Parent Company’s cost of investment in PDB consists of:
On March 31, 2015, the Parent Company made additional capital infusion to PDB amounting to P1.70 billion. Of the total cost of investment,
the consideration transferred for the acquisition of PDB follows:
In 2015, the MB of the BSP granted to the Group investment and merger incentives in the form of waiver of special licensing fees for 67
additional branch licenses in restricted areas. This is in addition to the initial investment and merger incentives of 30 new branches in
restricted areas and 35 branches to be transferred from unrestricted to restricted areas granted to the Parent Company by the MB in 2014.
These branch licenses were granted under the Strengthening Program for Rural Bank (SPRB) Plus Framework.

On April 6, 2016, the Parent Company’s BOD has approved the allocation of the 67 additional branch licenses in restricted areas as follows: 49
to the Parent Company and 18 to CBSI. Pursuant to memorandum dated March 18, 2016, the 67 branch licenses were awarded as incentives
by the Monetary Board as a result of the Parent Company’s acquisition of PDB. Goodwill from acquisition of PDB is computed as follows:
As restated

Net liabilities of PDB (P725,207)
Branch licenses, net of deferred tax liability (Note 13) 1,785,000 1,059,793
P616,907
In 2014, acquisition-related costs amounting to P6.39 million are included under various operating expenses in the statements of income.
Since the acquisition date, the amounts of revenue and net losses of PDB included in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended
December 31, 2014 amounted to P2.78 billion and P265.49 million, respectively.
Had the acquisition of PDB occurred at the beginning of 2014, the Group’s revenue and net income for the year ended December 31, 2014
would have increased by P215.24 million and decreased by P158.32 million, respectively.
CBCC
On April 1, 2015, the BOD approved the investment of the Parent Company in an investment house subsidiary, China Bank Capital Corporation
(CBCC), up to the amount of P500.00 million, subject to the requirements of relevant regulatory agencies.
On April 30, 2015, the BSP approved the request of the Parent Company to invest up to 100% or up to P500.00 million common shares in
CBCC, subject to certain conditions.
On November 27, 2015, the SEC approved the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of CBCC. It also granted CBCC the license to operate
as an investment house.
In 2016 and 2015, actual capital infusion to CBCC amounted to P200.00 million and P300.00 million, respectively.
Investment in Associates
Investment in associates in the consolidated and Parent Company’s financial statements pertain to investment in MCB Life and CBC-PCCI’s
investment in Urban Shelters (accounted for by CBC-PCCI in its financial statements as an investment in an associate) which is carried at nil
amount as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The following table shows the summarized financial information of MCB Life:
2016 2015
Total assets P26,419,046 P21,439,732
Total liabilities 25,727,647 20,498,841

Loss before income tax (197,201) (88,520)
Net loss (223,460) (94,733)
In 2014, the Group agreed to sell, transfer, and convey its investments in PDB Properties, Inc. and PDB Insurance Agency, Inc. to a former
significant investor. The sale was duly approved by PDB’s BOD and duly reported to the BSP. The Group recognized gain on the sale
transaction amounting to P64.56 million included under ‘Miscellaneous income’ (Note 20).
MCB Life
On August 2, 2006, the BOD approved the joint project proposal of the Parent Company with Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (Manulife).
Under the proposal, the Parent Company will invest in a life insurance company owned by Manulife, and such company will be offering
innovative insurance and financial products for health, wealth and education through the Parent Company’s branches nationwide. The life
insurance company was incorporated as The Pramerica Life Insurance Company Inc. in 1998 but the name was changed to Manulife China
Bank Life Assurance Corporation on March 23, 2007. The Parent Company acquired 5.00% interest in MCB Life on August 8, 2007. This
investment is accounted for as an investment in an associate by virtue of the Bancassurance Alliance Agreement which provides the Parent
Company to be represented in MCB Life’s BOD and, thus, exercise significant influence over the latter.
The BSP requires the Parent Company to maintain a minimum of 5.00% ownership over MCB Life in order for MCB Life to be allowed to
continue distributing its insurance products through the Parent Company’s branches.
On September 12, 2014, the BSP approved the request of the Parent Company to raise its capital investment in MCB Life from 5.00% to
40.00% of its authorized capital through purchase of 1.75 million common shares.
Commission income earned by the Parent Company from its bancassurance agreement amounting to P383.48 million, P337.41 million and
P277.14 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included under ‘Miscellaneous income’ in the statements of income (Note 20).

On August 26, 2011, the Parent Company was registered as an Economic Zone Information Technology (IT) Facilities Enterprise with the
Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) to operate and maintain a proposed 17-storey building located inside the CBP-IT Park in Barangays
Mabolo, Luz, Hipodromo, Carreta, and Kamputhaw, Cebu City, for lease to PEZA-registered IT enterprises, and to be known as Chinabank
Corporate Center. This registration is under PEZA Registration Certificate No. 11-03-F.
Under this registration, the Parent Company is entitled to five percent (5.00%) final tax on gross income earned from locator IT enterprises and
related operations in accordance with existing PEZA rules. The Parent Company shall also be exempted from the payment of all national and
local taxes in relation to this registered activity.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of companies acquired by the
Group.
The Group attributed the goodwill arising from its acquisition of CBSI and PDB to factors such as increase in geographical presence and
customer base due to the branches acquired. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. CBSI
as surviving entity from the merger with PDB, is the identified CGU for this goodwill. The Parent Company’s Retail Banking Business (RBB) has
been identified as the CGU for impairment testing of the goodwill from its acquisition of CBSI.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, amount of goodwill per CGU follows:
The recoverable amount of the CGUs have been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial
budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period, which do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet
committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset base of the CGU being tested. The significant assumptions used in
computing for the recoverable values of the CGUs follow:
RBB CBSI
Growth rates
Loans 9.30% 18.50%
Deposits 12.20% 18.00%
Discount rate 8.70% 8.70%
Terminal value growth rate 1.00% 1.00%
• Discount rates
• Steady growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period
With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the CGU, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key
assumptions would cause the carrying value of the goodwill to materially exceed its recoverable amount as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Branch Licenses
Branch licenses of the Group arose from the acquisitions of CBSI, Unity Bank, and PDB. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, details of branch
licenses in the Group’s and Parent Company’s financial statements follow:
The individual branches have been identified as the CGU for impairment testing of the branch licenses. The recoverable amounts of the CGUs
for impairment testing of the branch licenses have been determined based on the fair value less cost to sell calculations.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the capitalized software costs of the Parent Company amounted to P445.45 million and
P322.19 million, respectively. Related accumulated amortization amounted to P94.86 million and P14.38 million as of December 31, 2016
and 2015, respectively. Additions for the year 2016 and 2015 amounted to P123.26 million and P322.19 million, respectively. Amortization
expense for the year 2016 and 2015 amounted to P80.48 million and P14.38 million, respectively.
Accounts receivable
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, about 41.92% and 54.45%, respectively, of the Group’s accounts receivable represents final withholding
taxes (FWT) imposed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and withheld by the Bureau of Treasury (BTr) from the proceeds collected by the
Group upon maturity of the Poverty Eradication and Alleviation Certificates (PEACe) bonds on October 18, 2011.
On October 17, 2011, the Parent Company together with seven other banks filed a joint petition against the BIR’s decision to impose 20.00%
FWT on PEACe bonds. The Supreme Court (SC) issued a temporary restraining order in favor of these banks on the same day and ordered
these banks to place in escrow an amount equivalent to the disputed withholding tax until final decision is rendered. However, the BTr withheld
the 20.00% FWT from the proceeds of the PEACe bonds and held it in an escrow account with the Land Bank of the Philippines.
On January 13, 2015, the SC ordered the BTr to release to the investor banks the amount corresponding to the 20% final withholding tax. On
March 13, 2015, the BIR filed a motion for reconsideration and clarification. Pursuant to a resolution dated April 21, 2015 by the SC, the banks
filed a consolidated comment on the motions filed by the respondents.
In an en banc ruling received on October 5, 2016, the SC upheld its October 2011 decision ordering the BTr to return the P4.97 billion to the
petitioners and for the BTr to pay legal interest for failure to comply with the SC’s earlier ruling in favor of the holders of the said bonds. In late
October 2016, the Government filed a motion for partial reconsideration with regard to the October 2016 ruling.
In an en banc ruling received on January 17, 2017, the SC denied the motion for partial reconsideration. No further pleadings or motions shall
be entertained by the SC.
Accounts receivable also includes non-interest bearing advances to officers and employees, with terms ranging from 1 to 30 days and
receivables of the Parent Company from automated teller machine (ATM) transactions of clients of other banks that transacted through any of
the Parent Company’s ATM terminals.

Changes in the allowance for impairment and credit losses are as follows:
At the current level of allowance for impairment and credit losses, management believes that the Group has sufficient allowance to cover any
losses that may be incurred from the non-collection or non-realization of its loans and receivables and other risk assets.
The separate valuation allowance of acquired loans and receivables from PDB amounting to P1.59 billion was not recognized by the Group on
the effectivity date of acquisition as these receivables were measured at fair value at acquisition date. Any uncertainties about future cash flows
of these receivables were included in their fair value measurement. Also, the separate valuation allowance of acquired investment properties
from PDB amounting to P199.15 million was not recognized by the Group on the effectivity date of acquisition as these properties were
measured at fair value on acquisition date.

carries an interest margin of 1.40% per annum over 3-month LIBOR. The term of the loan provides for a financial covenant such that the Parent
Company shall ensure that its minimum capital adequacy ratio (CAR) will, at all times, be equal to or greater of (a) the percentage prescribed by
BSP from time to time and (b) 10.00%. Otherwise, the loan shall become immediately due and payable. The borrowing was measured initially
at fair value and was subsequently carried at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying value of the loan amounted to
P7.81 billion and P7.37 billion respectively.
Loans and receivables of the Group and the Parent Company amounting to P760.38 million and P0.21 million as of December 31, 2015,
respectively, are pledged as collateral for the rediscounting facilities (Note 9). Loans and receivables pledged as collateral shall be released
by the rediscounting institution once the rediscounted loan has been fully paid upon maturity. In case a particular loan account pledged as
collateral is paid in full by the borrower before it matures, the equivalent discount value shall be paid by the Group to the rediscounting institution
before the pledged collateral can be released.
Accounts payable includes payables to suppliers and service providers, and loan payments and other charges received from customers in
advance.
Miscellaneous mainly includes sundry credits, inter-office float items, and dormant deposit accounts.

The Parent Company shares are listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange.
On March 5, 2014, the BOD authorized the Parent Company to conduct a rights issue, by way of offering common shares to certain eligible
shareholders. The BSP approved the stock rights offering on March 18, 2014.
The stock rights offering yielded a subscription of 161,609,878 common shares which were listed at the Philippine Stock Exchange on
May 13, 2014. The total proceeds of the stock rights offering amounted to P7.93 billion, net of stock issuance cost of P67.53 million which
was deducted from additional paid in capital.
The additional capital enabled the Parent Company to pursue growth strategies while ensuring that its capital adequacy levels remain above the
new Basel III requirements, particularly in light of the acquisition of PDB.
On May 8, 2014, the BOD approved and the stockholders ratified the increase in the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock from
P20.00 billion to P25.00 billion, or from 2.00 billion to 2.50 billion shares with par value of P10.00 per share. The increase in the Parent
Company’s authorized capital stock was subsequently approved by the BSP and the SEC on August 7, 2014 and August 29, 2014, respectively.
The summarized information on the Parent company’s registration of securities under the Securities Regulation Code follows:
As reported by the Parent Company’s transfer agent, Stock Transfer Service, Inc., the total number of stockholders is 1,959 and 1,980 as of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Subsequent Events
On January 19, 2017, the BOD of CBCC approved the increase in authorized capital stock of CBCC from P500.00 million to P2.00 billion to
enable CBCC to handle bigger deals. The approval was ratified by the BOD of the Parent Company on February 1, 2017. On the same date,
the BOD of the Parent Company approved the capital infusion of P500.00 million to be paid within the first quarter of 2017.
On Febuary 22, 2017, the BOD of the Parent Company approved to undertake a stock rights offering through the issuance of new shares from
the unissued shares of the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock that will generate the aggregate issue of approximately P15.00 billion to
all eligible stockholders.
May 05, 2016 May 23, 2016 June 03, 2016 8% 1.00
May 07, 2015 August 12, 2015 September 09, 2015 8% 1.00

The computation of surplus available for dividend declaration in accordance with SEC Memorandum Circular No. 11 issued in December 2008
differs to a certain extent from the computation following BSP guidelines.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, surplus includes the amount of P1.28 billion, net of deferred tax liability of P547.40 million, representing
transfer of revaluation increment on land which was carried at deemed cost when the Group transitioned to PFRS in 2005 (Note 11). This
amount will be available to be declared as dividends upon sale of the underlying land.
In the consolidated financial statements, a portion of the Group’s surplus corresponding to the net earnings of the subsidiaries and associates
amounting to P607.74 million and P296.00 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is not available for dividend declaration.
The accumulated equity in net earnings becomes available for dividends upon declaration and receipt of cash dividends from the investees.
Reserves
In compliance with BSP regulations, 10.00% of the Parent Company’s profit from trust business is appropriated to surplus reserve. This annual
appropriation is required until the surplus reserves for trust business equals 20.00% of the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock.
Capital Management
The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to ensure that it complies with externally imposed capital requirements and that
it maintains strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and to maximize shareholders’ value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of
its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders or issue capital securities. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes as of December 31, 2016
and 2015.
In addition, the risk-based capital ratio of a bank, expressed as a percentage of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets (RWA), should not be
less than 10.00% for both solo basis (head office and branches) and consolidated basis (Parent Company and subsidiaries engaged in financial
allied undertakings but excluding insurance companies). Qualifying capital and RWA are computed based on BSP regulations. RWA consists
of total assets less cash on hand, due from BSP, loans covered by hold-out on or assignment of deposits, loans or acceptances under letters
of credit to the extent covered by margin deposits and other non-risk items determined by the Monetary Board of the BSP.
On August 4, 2006, the BSP, under BSP Circular No. 538, issued the prescribed guidelines implementing the revised risk-based capital
adequacy framework for the Philippine banking system to conform to Basel II capital adequacy framework. The BSP guidelines took effect on
July 1, 2007. Thereafter, banks were required to compute their CAR using these guidelines.
Standardized credit risk weights were used in the credit assessment of asset exposures. Third party credit assessments were based on ratings
by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, while PhilRatings were used on peso-denominated exposures to Sovereigns, MDBs, Banks, LGUs,
Government Corporations, Corporates.
On January 15, 2013, the BSP issued Circular No. 781, Basel III Implementing Guidelines on Minimum Capital Requirements, which provides the
implementing guidelines on the revised risk-based capital adequacy framework particularly on the minimum capital and disclosure requirements
for universal banks and commercial banks, as well as their subsidiary banks and quasi-banks, in accordance with the Basel III standards. The
circular took effect on January 1, 2014.
The Circular sets out a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 6.00% and Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.50%. It also introduces a capital
conservation buffer of 2.50% comprised of CET1 capital. The BSP’s existing requirement for Total CAR remains unchanged at 10.00% and this
ratio shall be maintained at all times.
Further, existing capital instruments as of December 31, 2010 which do not meet the eligibility criteria for capital instruments under the revised
capital framework shall no longer be recognized as capital upon the effectivity of Basel III. Capital instruments issued under BSP Circular
Nos. 709 and 716 (the circulars amending the definition of qualifying capital particularly on Hybrid Tier 1 and Lower Tier 2 capitals), starting
January 1, 2011 and before the effectivity of BSP Circular No. 781, shall be recognized as qualifying capital until December 31, 2015. In addition
to changes in minimum capital requirements, this Circular also requires various regulatory adjustments in the calculation of qualifying capital.
The CAR of the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2016 as reported to the BSP are shown in the table below.
On August 14, 2015, the MB of the BSP, in its Resolution No. 1292 approved the request of the Parent Company that PDB’s compliance
with the minimum capital ratios prescribed under Basel III framework be assessed based on the consolidated capital position of the Parent
Company, CBSI and PDB up to one (1) year or upon issuance of the certified true copy of the Articles of Merger and Plan of Merger by the SEC,
whichever comes earlier.
The Parent Company has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements throughout the period.
The issuance of BSP Circular No. 639 covering the ICAAP in 2009 supplements the BSP’s risk-based capital adequacy framework under
Circular No. 538. In compliance with this circular, the Parent Company has adopted and developed its ICAAP framework to ensure that
appropriate level and quality of capital are maintained by the Group. Under this framework, the assessment of risks extends beyond the Pillar 1
set of credit, market and operational risks and onto other risks deemed material by the Parent Company. The level and structure of capital are
assessed and determined in light of the Parent Company’s business environment, plans, performance, risks and budget; as well as regulatory
edicts. BSP requires submission of an ICAAP document every March 31. The Group has complied with this requirement.
The Group has separate funded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all its officers and regular employees.
The retirement plans are administered by the Parent Company’s Trust Group which acts as the trustee of the plans. Under these retirement
plans, all covered officers and employees are entitled to cash benefits after satisfying certain age and service requirements. The latest actuarial
valuation studies of the retirement plans were made as of December 31, 2016.

Annual rentals on these lease contracts included in ‘Occupancy cost’ in the statements of income in 2016, 2015 and 2014 amounted to
P681.05 million, P615.00 million and P522.00 million, respectively, for the Group, and P450.53 million, P396.88 million and P349.00 million,
respectively, for the Parent Company.
Future minimum rentals payable of the Group and the Parent Company under non-cancelable operating leases follow:
The Group and the Parent Company have also entered into commercial property leases on its investment properties (Note 12).
Income taxes include corporate income tax and FCDU final taxes, as discussed below, and final tax paid at the rate of 20.00% on gross interest
income from government securities and other deposit substitutes. These income taxes, as well as the deferred tax benefits and provisions, are
presented as ‘Provision for income tax’ in the statements of income.
Republic Act (RA) No. 9337, An Act Amending National Internal Revenue Code, provides that RCIT rate shall be 30.00% while interest expense
allowed as a deductible expense is reduced to 33.00% of interest income subject to final tax.
An MCIT of 2.00% on modified gross income is computed and compared with the RCIT. Any excess MCIT over RCIT is deferred and can be
used as a tax credit against future income tax liability for the next three years. In addition, the NOLCO is allowed as a deduction from taxable
income in the next three years from the year of inception.
Effective in May 2004, RA No. 9294 restored the tax exemption of FCDUs and offshore banking units (OBUs). Under such law, the income
derived by the FCDU from foreign currency transactions with nonresidents, OBUs, local commercial banks including branches of foreign banks
is tax-exempt while interest income on foreign currency loans from residents other than OBUs or other depository banks under the expanded
system is subject to 10.00% gross income tax.
Interest income on deposit placements with other FCDUs and OBUs is taxed at 7.50%, while all other income of the FCDU is subject to the
30.00% corporate tax.
On March 15, 2011, the BIR issued Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 4-2011 which prescribes the attribution and allocation of expenses between
FCDUs/EFCDUs or OBU and RBU and within RBU. Pursuant to the regulations, the Parent Company made an allocation of its expenses in
calculating income taxes due for RBU and FCDU.
Current tax regulations also provide for the ceiling on the amount of entertainment, amusement and recreation (EAR) expense that can be
claimed as a deduction against taxable income. Under the regulations, EAR expense allowed as a deductible expense is limited to the actual
EAR paid or incurred but not to exceed 1.00% of the Parent Company’s net revenue.

The Group did not set up deferred tax assets on the following temporary differences as it believes that it is highly probable that these temporary
differences will not be realized in the near foreseeable future:

The reconciliation of the statutory income tax to the provision for income tax follows:
Securities and other properties (other than deposits) held by the Parent Company in fiduciary or agency capacities for clients and beneficiaries
are not included in the accompanying balance sheets since these are not assets of the Parent Company (Note 29).
In compliance with the requirements of current banking regulations relative to the Parent Company’s trust functions: (a) government
bonds included under HFT financial assets and AFS financial assets with total face value of P994.05 million and P250.62 million as of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are deposited with the BSP as security for the Parent Company’s faithful compliance with its
fiduciary obligations (Note 8); and (b) a certain percentage of the Parent Company’s trust fee income is transferred to surplus reserve. This yearly
transfer is required until the surplus reserve for trust function equals 20.00% of the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock.
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence
over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. The Group’s related parties include:

P37.91 million and P0.73 million, respectively, for the Group, and P37.91 million and P0.66 million, respectively, for the Parent Company.
AFS financial assets represent shares of stock of the Parent Company. Voting rights over the Parent Company’s shares are exercised by an
authorized trust officer.
Members of the BOD are entitled to a per diem of P500.00 for attendance at each meeting of the Board or of any committees and to four
percent of the Parent Company’s net earnings, with certain deductions in accordance with BSP regulation. Non-executive directors do not
receive any performance-related compensation. Directors’ remuneration covers all Parent Company’s Board activities and membership of

Regulatory Reporting
As required by the BSP, the Group discloses loan transactions with its and affiliates and investees and with certain directors, officers, stockholders
and related interests (DOSRI). Under existing banking regulations, the limit on the amount of individual loans to DOSRI, of which 70.00% must
be secured, should not exceed the regulatory capital or 15.00% of the total loan portfolio, whichever is lower. These limits do not apply to loans
secured by assets considered as non-risk as defined in the regulations.
BSP Circular No. 423, dated March 15, 2004, amended the definition of DOSRI accounts. The following table shows information relating to
the loans, other credit accommodations and guarantees classified as DOSRI accounts under regulations existing prior to said Circular, and new
DOSRI loans, other credit accommodations granted under said Circular:
The amounts of loans disclosed for related parties above differ with the amounts disclosed for key management personnel since the composition
of DOSRI is more expansive than that of key management personnel.
BSP Circular No. 560 provides that the total outstanding loans, other credit accommodation and guarantees to each of the bank’s/quasi-bank’s
subsidiaries and affiliates shall not exceed 10.00% of the net worth of the lending bank/quasi-bank, provided that the unsecured portion of
which shall not exceed 5.00% of such net worth. Further, the total outstanding loans, credit accommodations and guarantees to all subsidiaries
and affiliates shall not exceed 20.00% of the net worth of the lending bank/quasi-bank; and the subsidiaries and affiliates of the lending bank/
quasi-bank are not related interest of any director, officer and/or stockholder of the lending institution, except where such director, officer or
stockholder sits in the BOD or is appointed officer of such corporation as representative of the bank/quasi-bank.
On May 12, 2009, BSP issued Circular No. 654 allowing a separate individual limit of twenty‑five (25.00%) of the net worth of the lending bank/
quasi-bank to loans of banks/quasi-banks to their subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in energy and power generation.
In the normal course of the Group’s operations, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in
the accompanying financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.
The following is a summary of contingencies and commitments of the Group and the Parent Company with the equivalent peso contractual
amounts:
The Group’s operating businesses are recognized and managed separately according to the nature of services provided and the markets
served, with each segment representing a strategic business unit. In 2014, the Group’s organization structure was realigned in a manner that
caused the composition of its reportable segments to change. From four major groups (Consumer Banking, Institutional Banking, Branch
Banking and Treasury), the Group now has three major business segments, namely:
a. Lending Business – principally handles all the lending, trade finance and corollary banking products and services offered to corporate
and institutional customers as well as selected middle market clients. It also handles home loans, contract-to-sell receivables and auto
loans for individual and corporate customers. Aside from the lending business, it also provides cash management services and remittance
transactions;
b. Retail Banking Business – principally handles retail and commercial loans, individual and corporate deposits, overdrafts and funds transfer
facilities, trade facilities and all other services for retail customers;
c. Financial Capital Markets and Investments – principally provides money market, trading and treasury services, manages the Group’s
funding operations by the use of government securities, placements and acceptances with other banks as well as offers advisory and
capital-raising services to corporate clients and wealth management services to high-net-worth customers; and
d. Others – handles other services including but not limited to trust and investment management services, asset management, insurance
brokerage, credit management, thrift banking business, operations and financial control, and other support services.
The Group’s businesses are organized to cater to the banking needs of market segments, facilitate customer engagement, ensure timely delivery
of products and services as well as achieve cost efficiency and economies of scale. Accordingly, the corresponding segment information for all
periods presented herein are restated to reflect such change.
The Group reports its primary segment information to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) on the basis of the above-mentioned
segments. The CODM of the Group is the President and Chief Executive Officer.
Segment assets are those operating assets that are employed by a segment in its operating activities that are either directly attributable to the
segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.
Segment liabilities are those operating liabilities that result from the operating activities of a segment and that either are directly attributable to
the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.
Interest income is reported net as management primarily relies on the net interest income as performance measure, not the gross income and
expense.
The segment results include internal transfer pricing adjustments across business units as deemed appropriate by management. Transactions
between segments are conducted at estimated market rates on an arm’s length basis. Interest is charged/credited to the business units based
on a pool rate which approximates the marginal cost of funds.
Other operating income mainly consists of trading and securities gain (loss) - net, service charges, fees and commissions, trust fee income and
foreign exchange gain - net. Other operating expense mainly consists of compensation and fringe benefits, provision for impairment and credit
losses, taxes and licenses, occupancy, depreciation and amortization, stationery, supplies and postage and insurance. Other operating income
and expense are allocated between segments based on equitable sharing arrangements.
The Group has no significant customers which contributes 10.00% or more of the consolidated revenues.
The Group’s asset producing revenues are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical location); therefore, geographical segment
information is no longer presented.
The following tables present relevant financial information regarding business segments measured in accordance with PFRS as of and for the
years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (with corresponding items of segment information for earlier periods restated to reflect the
new composition of reportable segments):

in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively are reported under ‘Other Business and Support Units’.
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year (adjusted for stock dividends).
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic earnings per share computations:
As of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were no outstanding dilutive potential common shares. Before consideration of the 8.00%
stock dividends distributed in 2016, the EPS for 2015 and 2014 were P3.02 and P2.76, respectively.
The following basic ratios measure the financial performance of the Group and the Parent Company:
