From Banco Bradesco S.A.'s Q4 FY25 earnings-call transcript · updated 29 May 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Rank 3

**SME Segment**: Continued growth expected with good risk control; SME NPL expected to decline further this quarter. (Page 17)
**Individual Segment**: Growth depends on portfolio mix; possible higher NPL if auto loans grow faster than payroll loans, but returns will be risk-adjusted. (Page 17)
**Payroll Loans**: Acceleration in private payroll loans expected, with growth in INSS and public portfolios as well. (Page 14)
**Market Share**: Plan to increase market share from 14% to between 15%-19% over 5 years despite economic challenges like high Selic rate; cautious but optimistic growth. (Page 17)
**Insurance Group**: Sustainable growth observed in recent quarters, with health insurance up 9%, life insurance close to 10%, and other lines growing around 15%. (Page 16)
**NII and Funding**: Positive outlook for 2026 with expected improvements in funding and net interest margin (NIM). (Page 8)

Profitability & Margins

The bank expects consistent loan portfolio growth around 7-8%, possibly higher, supporting revenue growth.
Net interest income (NII) is growing strongly, with a net interest margin (NIM) stabilized at 9% and potential for improvement based on funding cost and portfolio mix.
Operating expenses are under control with continued efficiency improvements targeting a 10 percentage point drop in the efficiency ratio over the next 3 years (’26 to ’28).
Labor provisions and one-off measures have been high but expected to normalize, contributing positively to profitability going forward.
Insurance operations continue delivering strong profitability with ROE above 21%, supporting overall earnings.
The transformation plan, increased investments in technology and customer experience, and penetration in SME and digital segments are expected to drive longer-term growth and profit expansion.
Guidance indicates earnings and other financial metrics will fall in the higher end of guidance intervals by year-end.

Capital Expenditure Plans

Yes

The bank continues to invest significantly in technology, with a strong focus on machine learning, Generative AI, and digital transformation to enhance productivity and customer engagement (page 15, page 13).
Investments also include reskilling and upskilling teams, restructuring infrastructure, and boosting digital capabilities across physical and digital channels (page 13).
There is a disciplined approach to capital expenditure, balancing controlled expenses with seizing opportunistic investments when clear returns are identified, emphasizing competitiveness and efficiency improvements (page 6).
Strategic investments include growth in priority lending lines (payroll loans, mortgage, SME, rural, and auto loans), leveraging digital platforms to gain market share with risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long term (page 18).
The bank plans further digital solutions for SMEs and wholesale clients to improve cash management and funding margin starting from 2026 (page 15).
Continued focus on efficiency gains targeting a 20% improvement with expected operational leverage from technology investments (page 6).

Fundraising & Capital Structure

The company has been strategically reducing its funding costs by lowering expensive resources, especially in wholesale, which has led to a reduction in funding (Page 15).
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was reduced from around 190% to 150%, with the minimum regulatory requirement at 100%, leaving room to maneuver funding efficiently (Page 15).
Cash management initiatives aimed at financial solutions for SMEs and wholesale companies (Global Solutions) are expected to positively impact funding margin starting in 2026 and beyond (Page 15).
No explicit mention of new equity fundraising currently; focus is on optimizing funding through operational measures and improving funding margins (Page 15).
Capital requirements remain a constant concern, with anticipated additional needs related to operational risk by end of 2026, implying careful capital management but no direct new capital raising disclosed yet (Page 10).
