Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 3 Contents Global Economy | 10 – 21 Message from the CEO | 6 – 9 Brazilian Economy | 22 – 33 Curitiba | PR | Botanic Garden Contents Financial Statements | 42 – 105 Banco Safra | 34 – 41 Locations Around Brazil | 106 – 109 Message from the CEO Rio de Janeiro | RJ | Lapa Arches Message from the CEO In 2014 the global economic recovery proceeded gradually but unevenly, and more slowly than expected. The pace of economic growth was faster in the United States, with the eurozone growing moderately and the Japanese economy contracting. In emergingmarket economies the focus remained on the intensity of China’s slowdown, while other important EM economies continued to display modest growth. In Brazil, economic activity accompanied the dynamics of the main EM economies, with gross domestic product (GDP) stalling during the year and growth reaching a mere 0.1%. It is important to note that the government continued to auction infrastructure project concessions to the private sector, especially in the toll road segment, and that the inflow of foreign direct investment remained vigorous, above all in the automotive industry. The Brazilian banking system continued to display low short-term liquidity risk and high solvency. The stock of credit grew more slowly, while interest rates on loans to individuals and companies rose, but delinquencies and loan loss coverage remained relatively stable. In this context Banco Safra, faithful as always to its traditional conservative business management strategy, achieved a solid and consistent financial performance in 2014. Net income in the year amounted to R$1.5 billion, for growth of 13.9% compared with 2013, and corresponding to an annual return on equity of 19.0%. Equity rose 15.5% during the year, reaching R$8.7 billion in December 2014. The expanded credit portfolio, including sureties, guarantees and other credit risk instruments, grew 13.1% to R$76.5 billion. The traditional liquidity maintained by Banco Safra corresponded to 2.7 times the bank’s equity at year-end. Delinquencies, measured as the proportion of loans more than 90 days past due, accounted for only 0.7% of the portfolio at end2014, Banco Safra’s best rate in the past ten years and also the best among the major banks that operate in Brazil. Nevertheless, the bank increased in 2014 its loan loss reserves, provisioning above the minimum required by the Central Bank. The balance of loan loss provision totaled R$2.1 billion at end-2014 for a coverage ratio of 481.4%, one of the highest in the banking industry. 8 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report It is also worth mentioning that Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed Banco Safra’s investment grade and the ratings even after the revision made in 2014 in the Brazil’s sovereign rating and the ratings of several Brazilian banks. In fact, Safra is rated as high as any financial institution in Brazil. Fitch Ratings and Moody’s also continued to award Safra an investment grade rating. Another point that must be stressed is that the institution continues to conduct its business in accordance with high standards of socio-environmental responsibility, adopting best practice in terms of sustainability and supporting projects devoted to fostering social wellbeing, heath, culture and education. Brazil faces major challenges in 2015. The new economic team has launched plans to resume production of a public-sector primary surplus, including a timetable of much-needed fiscal adjustments to balance the budget and stabilize government gross debt in proportion to GDP. Another priority is reducing the share of state-owned banks in the credit market, slowing the growth of their assets and cutting the subsidies they receive from the National Treasury. These adjustments come at a price in the short run but will be fundamental to a recovery of economic growth, which is expected to pick up by the end of 2015, when signs of improving activity and falling inflation will point to a new cycle of development with sustainable economic growth and rising participation by the financial system and capital markets. With this outlook in mind, we see no risk of a downgrade for Brazil in the near term by the main international rating agencies, noting that S&P has recently reaffirmed its investment grade rating for the sovereign. Rossano Maranhão Chief Executive Officer Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 9 Global Economy São Paulo | SP | Luz Railway Station Global Economy Economic Environment in 2014 and Outlook for 2015 Although world economic growth was not as vigorous as in the years leading up to the 2008-09 financial crisis, 2014 saw another step toward consolidation of the recovery. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that global GDP grew 3.3% last year, repeating 2013 growth. The pattern seen during most of 2013 persisted throughout 2014, with the developed countries growing moderately while the performance of the emerging economies was more modest.

Safra 12 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report 2013 2014 Global Economy Central banks in the major economies kept the level of monetary accommodation high. However, whereas the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) injected additional monetary stimulus, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) ended its quantitative easing bond-buying program in the end of 2014. After a period of slow growth due to adverse weather early in the year, the US economy accelerated significantly showing a considerable improvement in the labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 5.6%, well below the level seen during the recession, when it reached 10.0%, and closer to the pre-crisis low (4.7%). Steadily rising in employment level and household wealth in terms of property and stocks stimulated consumption. Late in the year the fall in fuel prices increased disposable income and also helped bolster consumer spending.

Safra Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 13 Global Economy Inflation continued to fall in most of the industrialized countries in 2014, reflecting the persistently high level of slack in global industry and above all the sharp fall in international prices of important commodities. Oil prices fell 46% year over year; iron ore prices fell 48%.

Safra Sharply decelerating inflation expectations and current inflation data, alongside the still fragile economic recovery in the eurozone, especially in France and Italy, led the ECB to continue to implement unconventional monetary policy measures. Reaffirming its commitment to end Japan’s deflationary spiral, the BoJ also raised the level of monetary accommodation after it became clear that the April sales tax hike had negatively affected economic activity. Like the euro, the yen depreciated against the dollar in response to the introduction of additional stimulus measures. 14 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report 80 1.35 Figure 3: Crude oil and iron ore (price in USD) 160 70 In 2015 we expect global growth to improve modestly compared with 2014. The main central banks will continue to pursue diverging monetary policies. While the Fed is likely to begin tightening in mid-year, the ECB will continue to add more stimulus and Japan’s monetary policy is unlikely to deviate from its current path, although the BoJ may opt not to expand its asset-buying program any further. It is important to note that in the context of monetary policy divergence lower oil prices will boost consumer spending in the major economies, since cheaper fuel increases household disposable income. The US will once again be the top economic performer in 2015, with growth projected to reach about 3%, reflecting the fall in unemployment, rising consumer confidence and falling oil prices, among other factors. Europe should continue to grow moderately, although expansion of the ECB’s balance sheet and more favorable credit conditions present positive risks to this scenario.

Safra The labor market performed well during the year, unsurprisingly given the continuous improvement in economic activity. The unemployment rate, which ended 2013 on 6.7%, reached 5.6% at end-2014 and net job creation exceeded 200,000 in every month but one, totaling almost 3 million in the year, the best result since 1999.

In China 2015 is set to be similar to last year in the sense that economic adjustments and reforms will continue to be implemented at the cost of more moderate growth. USA The US economy performed fairly well in 2014, although it got off to a weak start. GDP contracted 2.1% in 1Q14 compared with the previous quarter in annualized terms, owing largely to very cold weather in most regions of the country, which severely affected household consumption and above all investment. The transience of this fall in economic activity became clear in 2Q14, when GDP grew 4.6% compared with the previous quarter thanks to a positive performance by precisely those sectors that had been adversely affected by the harsh winter weather early in the year. The economy continued to perform robustly in the second half. GDP growth in 3Q14 accelerated to 5.0%, the fastest pace in 11 years. In 4Q14 GDP growth slowed to 2.2%, although the rise in consumer spending accelerated to 4.2%, the fastest growth rate since the start of 2006. Household consumption was bolstered by a 33% fall in fuel prices, which had the same effect as a significant tax cut. In the 12 months of 2014, the US economy grew 2.4%, compared with 2.2% in 2013.

We believe the Fed will begin monetary tightening in second-half 2015, in light of the steady pace of economic growth. Even if inflation remains below target, the fed funds rate will be raised so that monetary conditions can be adjusted very gradually in the coming years, which will also avoid an excessive increase in the financial system’s leverage. t/ 14 l/ 14 Oc 14 Source: Bloomberg; Banco J.

Known as tapering, this process had begun in December 2013. The QE program ended in October 2014, and discussion of the timing of the first rise in the federal funds rate began. Although the economy grew robustly throughout the year, the absence of inflationary pressures allowed the Fed to signal that monetary tightening would be gradual once initiated. Consumer inflation measured by the PCE deflator reached 1.7% in the 12 months through May, after which it decelerated, largely owing to the impact of the fall in fuel prices, ending the year on 0.7%. The core PCE, which excludes food and energy, stayed in the range of 1.5% for most of the year. Thus both measures ended the year below the 2.0% target. Earnings growth was also very moderate. Average hourly earnings rose only 1.7% in the year, while the employment cost index (ECI) rose 2.3%, both in nominal terms. In 2015 the US economy is likely to continue performing well, largely thanks to Global Economy Eurozone After two years of economic contraction, eurozone GDP resumed positive growth in 2014. The pace of expansion was modest, reaching only 0.9% in the year, compared with contractions of 0.7% and 0.4% in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The top performer among the major eurozone economies was Spain, where GDP grew 1.4% in 2014 after a series of economic reforms and fiscal adjustment in the previous year. Germany, which accounts for about a quarter of eurozone GDP, grew 1.6% in the period. Meanwhile, France and Italy presented disappointing results. The former grew only 0.4%, while the latter contracted 0.4%. countries. In France the unemployment rate rose from 10.2% in 2013 to 10.3% in 2014. In Italy it rose from 12.5% to 12.7%. In Germany the unemployment rate again trended down, falling from 5.1% at end-2013 to 4.8% in December 2014. The data also shows that more than 110,000 people ceased to be unemployed in the period.

Safra Eurozone inflation decelerated gradually during the year. In December the 12-month inflation rate reached -0.2%, compared with +0.8% a year earlier. This deceleration largely reflected energy prices, which fell 6.3% in the year. The core rate, which excludes energy and food, rose 0.7% in 2014, the same as in the previous year. Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 17 Global Economy As inflation fell further below the target (just under 2%), and economic activity in France and Italy remained weak, the ECB stepped up monetary easing. In June and September it cut its main refinancing rate still further to 0.05%, and at the September meeting it also decided to start buying asset-backed securities and covered bonds. Even looser monetary conditions and a relatively stable political situation contributed to lower interest rates for final borrowers. Although bank spreads remained high compared with the pre-crisis period, in 2014 the uptrend seen in previous years went into reverse. Lending improved during the year, although the rate of growth in corporate loans remained in negative territory despite lower interest rates and an increased supply of credit, while the volume of consumer loans rose only slightly. On the fiscal side, the European Commission estimates that the nominal deficit fell slightly in 2014, reaching 2.6% of GDP compared with 2.9% in 2013. The sharpest fall is believed to have occurred in Greece, whose deficit reportedly dropped from 12.2% in 2013 to 2.5% in 2014 as a result of the fiscal adjustment implemented continuously for the past several years. Meanwhile, both France and Italy saw their deficits increase (Table 2).

Safra The eurozone’s total public debt is estimated to have risen from 93.1% of GDP in 2013 to 94.3% in 2014. Greece remained the most indebted country, with a debt-toGDP ratio of more than 175%. Germany’s fell from 76.9% to 74.2% in the same period. Those of France, Italy and Spain probably continued to rise. We remain cautiously optimistic about the outlook. The introduction of bold monetary stimulus measures together with the prospect of rising demand and growth in the supply of credit should produce a gradual acceleration of economic growth in the eurozone in 2015. On the other hand, the social situation is likely to remain delicate. The unemployment rate remains very high, ranging from 30% to 60% among young people in the peripheral countries. In this context we believe the ECB will conclude that monetary policy can be kept extremely loose for a fairly long period. Moreover, if the economy or inflation shows signs of deterioration, the ECB has already demonstrated its capacity to do even more to prevent the recovery from derailing or inflation from falling even further below target. Despite the forces that are preventing the recovery from picking up steam, the eurozone economy is set to grow about 1.5% in 2015. With politicians more prepared to accept that fiscal targets should be met over a longer period than initially expected, national governments will enjoy more leeway to reduce the intensity of fiscal tightening, especially in the peripheral countries.

Safra The slowdown was due to continuation of policies adopted in the previous year, which basically sought more balanced growth, with less reliance on investment and exports and more on household consumption. Also as a consequence of this new approach to economic policy, the government endeavored to limit the growth of credit. Lending fell 3.9% in 2014 compared with the previous year. Official bank loans grew 10.0%, while off balance sheet lending (shadow banking) fell 19.7%. With regard to prices, slower domestic growth and falling prices of the main commodities imported by China led consumer price inflation measured by the CPI to decelerate and producer price inflation measured by the PPI to fall deeper into negative terri- 20 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report tory in 2014. The CPI rose 1.5% in the year, compared with 2.5% in 2013, while the PPI fell 3.3%, compared with -1.4% in 2013. Japan’s economy stalled after performing well in 2013, when GDP grew 1.6%. The weaker performance seen in 2014 was largely due to the impact of the April sales tax hike from 5% to 8%.

Safra Global Economy Private demand rose 9.2% in annualized terms in 1Q14 in anticipation of the tax hike, but contracted 13.6% in 2Q14, jeopardizing economic growth in the year. In response to the economy’s weak dynamism after the tax hike, in October the BoJ unexpectedly decided to expand its asset-buying program from US$65 billion to US$80 billion per month. The decision to inject additional stimulus into the economy was justified not only by decelerating GDP growth but also by the fall in inflation, which was due to cheaper oil. In 2015 the Chinese economy is set to continue rebalancing and a more moderate pace of growth is likely, while Japan’s economic performance may be a positive surprise given that the second sales tax hike scheduled for October has been postponed and the BoJ has shown determination to put an end to deflation. Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 21 Brazilian Economy Brasília | DF | Planalto Palace Brazilian Economy Economic growth The Brazilian economy’s performance fell far short of expectations in 2014, even compared with the frustrating pace of growth seen in the previous three years. GDP grew 0.1% in the year, taking the average for President Dilma Rousseff’s first term to only 2.1%. On the supply side, industry contracted 1.2%, while services and agriculture grew 0.7% and 0.4% respectively, offsetting the industrial sector’s negative contribution to GDP in 2014.

Safra Even greater deterioration could be seen in public finance in 2014. The primary fiscal result was -0.6% of GDP, the first deficit since the start of the time series in 2001. This reflected much faster growth of expenditure than tax revenue despite the contribution of extraordinary (non-recurring) receipts. Slow economic growth in conjunction with tax breaks explains the disappointing performance of revenue, but the acceleration of government expenditure was excessive and unsustainable. The dollar strengthened worldwide during the year, in response to the antici- pated normalization of US monetary policy. In this context the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) proceeded with its program of dollar swaps throughout the period. In 2Q14, disappointment at the news of US economic deceleration in 1Q14 partly reversed the dollar’s appreciation and the Brazilian Real (BRL)-US Dollar (USD) exchange rate returned to the range of 2.20. In the second half, however, the BRL depreciated again, first because the dollar appreciated globally in response to expectations that the Federal Reserve would soon end its asset-buying program, and second because Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 25 Brazilian Economy of the uncertainty fueled by Brazil’s presidential electoral campaign. The BRL/USD exchange rate ended the year on 2.66, equivalent to 13.4% devaluation compared with 2.34 at end-2013. Inflationary pressures remained high despite weak economic growth. Indeed, current inflation exceeded the upper limit of the target range for much of the year and ended 2014 on 6.4%, taking the average for the last four years to 6.2%. Administered prices contributed to the inflationary pressures, accelerating as their realignment began. This is expected to persist in 2015. Local currency depreciation driven by external factors as well as electoral uncertainty at home generated additional pressure in 2014. The Central Bank tightened monetary conditions during the entire year in an effort to force inflation back on target (see next section for more details). The pursuit of heterodox macroeconomic policies in recent years, christened a “new macroeconomic matrix” by the former economic team, did not produce the expected results in terms of economic growth. On the contrary, it disorganized public finance, held down administered prices, which must now be realigned, and had a highly negative effect on levels of confidence and investment throughout the economy. In this context the highlight of the year was the electoral process, which fueled expectancy regarding the likelihood of a change in macroeconomic policy. The decision announced by President Dilma Rousseff 26 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report shortly after re-election to appoint a new economic team committed to reinstating the “macroeconomic tripod” (fiscal equilibrium, inflation targeting, and a floating exchange rate) came as a positive surprise for the markets. In our interpretation, it sent a strong positive signal that the government is minded to implement the economic policy adjustments required to assure a resumption of consistent growth despite the negative effects of these adjustments in 2015 and 2016. Inflation and monetary policy Despite the deceleration of free-market prices, in the context of weak economic activity the start of the process of realigning administered prices led inflation to reach 6.41% at end-2014, up compared with 2013 (5.91%) and once again above the midpoint of the target range (4.5%). Free-market prices rose 6.7% in 2014, down compared with the previous year (7.3%). The main contributions to this improvement came from decelerating prices of food (7.1%) and manufactured goods (4.3%), as well as service inflation, which reached 8.3% in 2014 after remaining close to 9.0% for three years. This movement reflected weaker economic activity and a looser labor market. Administered prices rose 5.3% in 2014, up sharply compared with the previous year (1.5%). The acceleration was due to realignment of these prices, especially fuel, electricity and public transportation, all of which were frozen in 2013.

This deceleration reflected sharply lower industrial price inflation (1.6%, compared with 7.8% in 2013). In particular, iron ore prices fell almost 40% in 2014. Given the persistence of high inflation, the Central Bank decided to proceed with the monetary tightening cycle implemented in April 2013. However, tightening was not continuous. At the first four meetings of 2014, the Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) raised its benchmark lending rate (Selic) by 100 basis points, from 10.00% to 11.00% per annum. At the May meeting, noting that the economy was clearly decelerating and based on the argument that part of the lagging effects on inflation of the rate hikes already implemented had yet to materialize, the Copom decided to interrupt the tightening cycle and left the Selic on hold for two more meetings. At the October meeting the Copom surprised the markets by raising the Selic rate again. This time the hike was 25 bps, justified by a deterioration in the balance of risks to inflation owing to intensification of relative price adjustments across the economy.

Key Economic Indicators Economic Activity Economic activity decelerated more than expected in 2014, and investment fell sharply. Repeating a pattern observed since 2008, retail sales growth contrasted markedly with the performance of industrial production. In 2014 the latter was negative, which only widened the gap. Industrial production contracted 3.2% in the year. All categories fell, led by capital goods, which contracted 9.6%. This strongly negative performance was influenced by the fall in investment due above all to the deterioration in business confidence seen throughout the year. Intermediate goods fell 2.7%, and consumer durables contracted 9.1%, mainly reflecting decelerating production of motor vehicles. Non-durables and semi-durables also contracted, albeit only slightly (0.3%).

Safra Narrow retail sales (excluding motor vehicles and building materials) expanded 2.2% in 2014, down compared with the previous year (4.3%). In fact, this was the weakest result in 11 years, illustrating the loss of dynamism in consumer spending, a reflection of slower average earnings growth despite the labor market’s persistent tightness, more moderate expansion of credit, and the lowest level of consumer confidence since the 2008 crisis. Broad retail sales fell 1.7%, decelerating sharply compared with the 3.6% growth seen in 2013, mainly owing to the fall in auto sales. The unemployment rate averaged 4.8% in 2014, an all-time low. This was less than in 2013 (5.4%), reflecting a fall in the workforce rather than a rise in employment, which in fact trended down during the year. The number of people in paid work fell 0.1% in 2014 (after rising 0.7% in 2013), while the workforce fell 0.7% (+0.6% in the previous year). 28 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Source: IBGE; Banco J. Safra In the formal labor market net job creation performed modestly during the entire year, reaching only 152,700 at end-2014 (down from 730,700 in 2013). This was the worst result since the current statistical series began in 1999. On the income side, the low unemployment rate continued to pressure wages, which rose at a faster rate than before. The average nominal wage rose 9.0% in 2014 (8.0% in 2013), while real earnings rose 2.7% (1.9% in 2013). The total wage bill (understood as the number of people in paid employment times average real earnings) grew 2.6% in real terms, little changed compared with the growth seen in 2013. In sum, the labor market remained tight but probably approached full employment: hence the decelerating rate of growth in the number of people in paid employment in 2014. 2014 Brazilian Economy Figure 17: Unemployment rate 12.0% 11.0% 10.0% Non seasonally adjusted 9.0% 8.0% in 2013.

Safra Credit The economic slowdown and rising interest rates again dampened lending in 2014. Credit expanded at the lowest rate in the current statistical series. This deceleration reflected both a reduction in the willingness of private-sector banks to extend credit and weaker demand for consumer loans owing to the high debt-to-income ratio. The total stock of credit grew to 58.9% of GDP at end-2014, from 56.0% a year earlier, reaching the highest level of the series in proportional terms. As noted above, however, the rate of growth decelerated, reaching 11.3% year over year compared with 14.7% in 2013. This was the lowest growth in the statistical series, which has displayed a downtrend since mid-2011. The stock of unearmarked loans to individuals grew 5.5%, down from 7.8% in 2013, while the stock of unearmarked corporate loans grew only 3.9%, decelerating from 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Source: BCB; Banco J. Safra The total delinquency rate fell mo derately in the year. This was due to a decrease in non-performing loans to indivi duals, since corporate loan delinquencies rose a little. An analysis of unearmarked loans shows delinquencies falling only 0.2 pp to 6.5%, after a fall of 2.0 pp in 2013. The difference reflected dilution of the forces that drove the downtrend in 2013, mainly loss of representativeness of older loans and improving total portfolio quality, alongside firmer control of disbursements by banks. Moreover, moderation of the level of activity, led loan delinquencies to fall only marginally in 2014.

While lending by the former rose 16.5% in 2014, the latter lent only 5.8% more, confirming the difference in bank lending appetite in these two segments and taking the share of state-owned banks in the total stock of credit to 53.6%. Interest rates on unearmarked loans continued to rise, reflecting the monetary tightening cycle implemented by the Central Bank. Rates on loans to individuals reached 43.4% p.a. in December, up from 38.0% p.a. a year earlier. Rates on corporate loans reached 23.3%, up from 21.4% previously.

Safra 30 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report 2014 External Sector The current-account deficit reached a record US$90.9 billion in 2014, equivalent to 4.2% of GDP, compared with US$81.1 billion in 2013 (3.6% of GDP). After remaining practically stable in the range of 2.0% of GDP in the period 2011-12, the current account clearly deteriorated since 2013. The reasons for the rise in the deficit were the same in 2014 as in the previous year. First, the merchandise trade balance deteriorated sharply. Until 2013 Brazil typically posted an annual trade surplus of US$20 billion or more, but the 2013 surplus was a mere US$2.4 billion and in 2014 the result was a deficit of US$3.9 billion, the first negative result since 2000. The 2014 deficit was due mainly to a contraction of almost US$17 billion in exports, which were negatively affected by falling prices of important raw materials such as iron ore. The second reason for the deterioration in the current account in 2014 was a rise of US$3.6 billion in equipment rental payments. International travel expenses totaled US$18.7 billion, practically the same as in 2013 after several years of strong growth. The leveling-off of this item, which was growing until 2013, was due a number of factors, including local currency depreciation and moderate growth of incomes and credit. Finally, interest payments and profit and dividend remittances were practically unchanged in 2014 compared with the previous year. Besides the increase in the current-account deficit, the quality of its financing also deteriorated. In the past few years until 2012 the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) was more than sufficient to cover the current-account deficit, enabling Brazil to build up its international reserves. However, because acceleration of the deficit to the level of US$80 billion was not accompanied by growth in the flow of FDI, which remained in the range of US$60 Brazilian Economy billion, external financing became more dependent on the flow of foreign portfolio investment (FPI) in stocks and bonds, which pursues gains deriving from the differential between domestic and overseas interest rates. In 2014, net FDI amounted to US$62.5 billion, down slightly compared with 2013 (US$64 billion) while net FPI was US$31.7 billion, down considerably more compared with 2013 (US$37 billion). In the foreign exchange market, the BRL/USD exchange rate began 2014 in the range of 2.40, fell to around 2.20 in April and stayed there until end-August, when it embarked on a distinct decline, ending the year on 2.66. This latter movement reflected both the dollar’s global appreciation and pressure in the domestic market due to the election campaign, the Petrobras corruption scandal and speculation about the next government. Pressure on the foreign exchange market led the Central Bank (BCB) to extend its program of dollar swap auctions until the end of 2014, offering daily swaps to the tune of US$200 million and using auctions of repo lines whenever deemed necessary. Between introduction of the program in August 2013 and December 31, 2014, the BCB auctioned dollar swaps totaling US$111.3 billion. Even so the BRL depreciated 13.4% against the USD in 2014. Figure 21: FDI and current account (% GDP) 5.0% In December the BCB announced that the dollar swap program was being adjusted to continue providing a hedge against exchange-rate variation as well as injecting liquidity into the foreign exchange market. It extended the program to March 31, 2015, but reduced the daily volume offered from US$200 million to US$100 million as of January. At the end of March 2015 the program was terminated, although the BCB promised to roll over the existing stock of swaps for the time being. It also conti nued auctioning repo lines as required by liquidity conditions in the foreign exchange market.

FDI 4.0% Public Finance The public-sector primary result in 2014 was a deficit of R$32.5 billion (-0.63% of GDP), the worst result in the statistical series beginning in 2001 and far short of the target stipulated by the latest Report on Primary Revenue & Expenditure published by the Planning Ministry in November 2014.

Safra Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 31 Brazilian Economy However, the government persuaded Congress to amend the 2014 Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) so as to deduct investment in the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) and foregone revenue due to tax incentives from the primary surplus, effectively eliminating the official primary surplus target and complying with the applicable legislation even while reporting a primary deficit. The nominal public-sector deficit (primary surplus plus interest expense) reached R$343.9 billion in 2014, or 6.7% of GDP, up 3.45 pp compared with 2013. The primary deficit in 2014 and the nominal increase in interest expense (to R$311.4 billion, or 6.1% of GDP, from R$248.9 billion, or 5.1% of GDP in 2013) contributed to this movement.

Safra Public-sector net debt (PSND) rose 3.1 pp to 36.7% of GDP in 2014, from 33.6% in 2013. Current GDP growth lowered the debt-to-GDP ratio by 1.9 pp, while the local currency depreciation of 13.4% accounted for a reduction of another 1.9 pp and net asset recognition for a further 0.1 pp. In the opposite direction, the primary deficit raised the ratio by 0.6 pp, appropriated nominal interest added 6.1 pp, and parity adjustment to the basket of currencies comprised in net foreign debt raised it by a further 0.2 pp. 32 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report General government gross debt (GGGD) rose 6.6 pp to 63.4% of GDP, from 56.7% in 2013, reflecting exchange-rate variation, which contributed 0.5 pp, and the 6.1 pp due to nominal interest, as already noted. The fiscal deterioration outlined above evidences the need for an adjustment to balance the budget in order to restore credibility and maintain investment grade. This fiscal adjustment will necessarily have to include measures that stabilize and then reduce gross debt by increasing the primary surplus, reducing subsidies to state-owned banks and limiting current expenditure, as well as tax changes to bolster revenue. Outlook Brazil began 2015 under the aegis of a new economic team facing major challenges. The need for fiscal and monetary adjustment in the context of an already weakened economy demands considerable skill on the part of the economic team and government firmness, since the effects of the adjustment will be reflected by a higher unemployment rate and lower income growth. At the same time, these challenges must be overcome to recoup the government’s credibility, rebuild business and consumer confidence, and resume economic growth on a sustainable basis. We expect investment to decelerate in response to the criminal investigations into corruption involving Petrobras and its major contractors. Investment by both the oil giant and government may be negatively affected as ongoing and future projects are reviewed and/or deferred. In addition, the Southeast region faces a severe water crisis. However, while there is still a risk of electricity rationing, the weakness of economic activity will lead to a fall in demand for power and this reduces the likelihood of official rationing. Brazilian Economy Despite the negative effects on economic growth of the implementation of contractionary economic policies, the fall in investment by government and Petrobras, rationalization of power consumption and the water shortage in the Southeast, we believe recovering confidence in the economic outlook will have a beneficial effect on activity from 2016 onward. In light of the above, our economic scenario for 2015 is based on the following assumptions: - A fiscal adjustment involving both spending cuts and measures to increase revenue. The latter will include reinstatement of the CIDE fuel tax, the withdrawal of electricity subsidies, reintroduction of the IPI excise tax rates reduced in recent years, a rise in the IOF financial transactions tax and other taxes on beverages, cosmetics and imports, and a rise in the PIS/Cofins tax on financial income. The government is also seeking to reduce part of the payroll tax exemption. On the expenditure side, changes are being made to social benefits that will result in less spending on these items. Cuts in running costs are also expected, and above all in capital costs (investment), as well as the withdrawal of electricity subsidies. In sum, we forecast a primary surplus equivalent to 1.2% of GDP, complying with the target set by the new economic team. However, it is important to note that the weakness of the economy will make achievement of this target especially challenging, and that the adjustment will have a further contractionary effect on the economy and pressure inflation, which is already high. - The BRL/USD exchange rate is expected to end the year on 3.40, corresponding to depreciation of almost 32%, in response to factors such as the strong global dollar, the unfavorable outlook for commodity rices, the end of the BCB’s program of p dollar swaps, and foreign funding difficulties for Petrobras and other oil and gas companies. - Inflation is expected to reach 8.8% in 2015, with free-market prices accelerating compared with 2014 owing to the effects of significant local currency depreciation, but also with strong pressure from administered prices due to the withdrawal of electricity subsidies and reinstatement of the CIDE and IPI taxes. - The external sector will be affected by stronger local currency depreciation and the economic slowdown, so that the merchandise trade balance will re-enter positive territory, with a projected surplus of R$5 billion in 2015, compared with a deficit in 2014. Cheaper oil will also help improve the trade balance, but lower prices of agricultural and metal commodities will limit the recovery. - The adverse effects of the 1.3% GDP contraction include the need for additional fiscal consolidation and monetary tightening, less investment by Petrobras, less investment in infrastructure and the water crisis in the Southeast. Finally, the political difficulties faced by the government owing to the outcome of the elections, which bolstered the opposition, as well as a more independent Congress and the involvement of coalition party leaders in the Petrobras corruption scandal, constitute an additional risk to the outlook for 2015. The need to implement unpopular reforms including fiscal consolidation and monetary tightening requires a strong government to withstand pressure and assure approval of the reforms by Congress. Last review on June 16, 2015 Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 33 Banco Safra Salvador | BA | Rio Branco Palace Banco Safra Banco Safra’s net income totaled R$1,547 million in 2014, for 13.9% growth compared with the previous year (R$1,359 million). With this result, one of the best in recent years, the institution maintained its consistent growth record. Consolidated stockholders’ equity grew 15.5%, reaching R$8.7 billion at end-December 2014, and in conjunction with net income in the period this resulted in an annual return on average equity of 19.0%, maintaining the institution’s historical performance on this measure and similar to ROAE for the largest Brazilian banks. Safra’s consolidated assets totaled R$142.9 billion at end2014, for growth of 8.5% compared with a year earlier. The BIS capital adequacy ratio was 14.0%, comfortably above the 11.0% minimum set by the Central Bank of Brazil, with Tier I capital accounting for 11.5%, of which 10.5% was core capital. Banco Safra implemented a series of improvements to its Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), a self-assessment process applicable to all banks with total assets in excess of R$100 billion and begun in 2012. Regulated by the Central Bank, the program evaluates all capital and risk management processes and procedures at all hierarchical levels, including a prospective capital plan for at least three years ahead. Throughout 2014 Brazil proceeded with the major regulatory change begun in 2013, advancing in the implementation of Basel III, which is being phased in until 2019. All the relevant effects for Banco Safra are reflected in the ratios for December 2014. Banco Safra’s efficiency ratio (the lower the better) ended 2014 on 40.4% (39.5% in 2013), reflecting the continuity of its traditional management system and the efficacy of its internal controls. Although liquidity has been high for several years, it was reinforced in 2014 and at end-December reached R$23.5 billion, 2.7 times the bank’s equity. The leading international rating agencies reaffirmed Banco Safra’s investment grade rating. In 2014 Standard & Poor’s revised the Sovereign rating and the ratings of several Brazilian banks. As a result, Safra’s rating is the best awarded to financial institutions 36 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report Banco Safra in Brazil. Similarly, Fitch Ratings affirmed the Asset Management rating of J. Safra Asset Management, as the “Highest Standard”. Credit and Services Safra’s expanded loan portfolio, including guarantees, sureties and other credit risk instruments, reached R$76.5 billion in 2014, for growth of 13.1% compared with a year earlier. Guarantees and sureties grew 41.3% year over year, led by an increase in operations for large corporate clients. Delinquencies, measured as the proportion of loans more than 90 days past due, accounted for only 0.7% of the portfolio at end-2014, Banco Safra’s best rate in the past ten years and also the best among the major banks that operate in Brazil. Credit facilities rated AA and A, the lowest risk rating on the scale established by the Central Bank, accounted for 89.5% of the portfolio. Despite the improvement in the non-performing loan ratio and the bank’s traditionally conservative lending strategy, levels of loan loss provision (LLP) remained high. At end-December 2014, LLP reached R$2.1 billion, more than the total amount of all loans over 14 days past due. Additional provision amounted to R$949 million, compared with R$462 million on December 31, 2013. The loan loss coverage ratio reached 481.4% (227% on December 31, 2013), one of the highest in the Brazilian banking system. Banco Safra operates a network of 109 branches in Brazil, as well as 19 in-company service points (PABs), offering nationwide coverage thanks to their geographic distribution and location in the main state capitals, largest cities, and economic development hubs. It also has two foreign branches, in Grand Cayman and Luxembourg, guaranteeing the institution’s presence to support the expansion of international trade. Asset Management In 2014 Banco Safra continued to prioritize individuals and institutional investors in order to assure increasing dilution of funding sources and lengthen the average maturity of deposits and other funds managed by the bank. Total funds (free, raised and managed assets) grew to R$174.6 billion on December 31, 2014. The funding highlight was the issuance of financial bills totaling R$15.1 billion, which helped lengthen funding maturities, enhance the efficiency of liquidity management and assure security for clients. Safra maintained the program begun in late 2013 to sell subordinated financial bills to clients of the institution in the local market. These securities are eligible for inclusion in Tier II capital under Basel III and the Central Bank of Brazil’s rules. The balance exceeded R$450 million at end-2014. Safra’s investment funds held R$40.6 billion in December 2014, for significant Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 37 Banco Safra growth of 33.3% in the period (R$30.5 billion in December 2013). In the international bond market the institution remained active throughout the year. The highlights were an issue of US$300 million in perpetual subordinated debt eligible for Tier I capital and two issues of senior notes in Swiss francs: CHF350 million in the first quarter, then the largest issue in Swiss francs by a bank in Latin America, and a successful issue of CHF100 million in the fourth quarter. Another important highlight was the volu me of transactions performed in the local fixed-income market, thanks to which Banco J. Safra was ranked fourth by ANBIMA in the origination of Real Estate Receivables Certificates (CRIs). The bank coordinated, structured and distributed CRI transactions totaling R$360 million, as well as almost R$800 million in capital market transactions. Banco J. Safra also acted as lead coordinator for CPFL’s first issue of infrastructure debentures. In 2014 Safra again ranked among the leading financial institutions accredited to act as onlending agents for the Finame capex financing program run by BNDES, the national development bank, with R$11.9 billion in aggregate onlending to the productive sector and guarantees extended to projects financed by BNDES. Sustainability Banco Safra adopts sustainability best practices in managing its business. To this end it monitors the criteria and indicators used in the process of extending credit and is a signatory to Brazil’s Green Protocol (Protocolo Verde, 1995, a code of conduct and best practices under which financial institutions mainstream environmental concerns into their decision-making processes), among other measures. 38 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report Safra also supports projects devoted to fostering social wellbeing, heath, culture and education. The entities benefited included UNIBES, the Jewish-Brazilian Social Welfare Association, which helps people who live in downtown São Paulo, and Fundação Dorina Nowill para Cegos, which cares for and promotes the social inclusion of the visually impaired by producing and distributing free Braille, audio and digital books. In the area of healthcare, Safra works with AACD, which cares for handicapped children, and with GRAAC, a childhood cancer support group that has an internationally recognized hospital and pediatric oncology institute in São Paulo. Other examples are its support for Hospital Albert Einstein, Hospital Sírio-Libanês, Hospital do Câncer in Barretos, Hospital AC Camargo and APAE SP, which promotes the social integration of the developmentally disabled and respect for their rights. In the area of culture, the institutions Safra supports by sponsoring exhibitions or donating works include the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM), which has one of the most important collections in Latin America, the São Paulo Jewish Cultural Center, and the Soccer Museum (Museu do Futebol). In 1982 Safra created a Cultural Project with the aim of helping to disseminate and recover Brazil’s historical and cultural traditions by publishing books about the leading museums, their collections and facilities. Each year a new book in the Museus Brasileiros series is published. The series now comprises 33 volumes with a total print run of more than 400,000 copies. The 33rd volume, published in 2014, is about Museu do Futebol in São Paulo. São Luiz | MA | Colonial houses Relatório Anual Banco Safra 2014 | 39 Banco Safra Teatro J. Safra is committed to offering a diversified program of quality events that prioritize the democratization of access to culture. These include arts courses for young people from low-income households, a free acting workshop, and a theater laboratory, among others. A 50% discount on tickets is granted to residents of the local community in São Paulo’s Barra Funda neighborhood in order to facilitate access to Teatro J. Safra’s programming. Through FEBRABAN, the Brazilian Federation of Banks, Banco Safra sponsors some 100 scholarships under the federal government’s Science Without Borders Program, which strengthens and fosters the growth and internationalization of Brazilian science and technology, innovation and competitiveness through international exchange and mobility. Human Resources Banco Safra ended 2014 with 5,824 employees, who among other benefits receive first-class medical and dental care, educational and daycare allowances, food baskets, and access to a wide array of cultural and social activities organized by their association. Pay, taxes and charges, excluding expenses relating to severance and labor contingencies, totaled R$1.3 billion in 2014. Social benefits disbursed to employees and their dependants amounted to R$95 million, including in particular investment in employee education, training and development, which comprised approximately 19,700 participations in face-toface and distance courses for a total of some 39,800 training hours. 40 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report The main programs comprised training for sales teams, administrative staff and operations support personnel (back office), as well as preparatory or refresher courses for mandatory certification (ANBIMA CPA 10 and CPA 20, ANBIMA’s CGA Fund Manager Certification Program, and the São Paulo Stock Exchange’s PQO Operational Qualification Program). The bank also maintained its investment in support for staff pursuing undergraduate degrees, MBAs and graduate qualifications, and for the training and inclusion of persons with special needs (PSN) in partnership with FEBRABAN. The Banco Safra Trainee Program was a major highlight for the second consecutive year. Launched in 2014, this is the largest trainee program in the Brazilian financial services industry. In 2015 some 21,000 recent students and graduates from courses and colleges all over Brazil applied for traineeships under the program. Twenty-nine were engaged as trainees to work in a range of strategic areas. They began attending a 12-month face-to-face training course in January 2015. The course started with a banking module administered by Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), followed by meetings and presentations with several of Safra’s executives, and job rotation in departments relating to their areas of interest. Challenges and Opportunities The expectation for 2015 is that it will be a year of important adjustments to Brazil’s macroeconomic fundamentals, in pursuit of a resumption of economic growth on a sustainable basis. Banco Safra In this context the incentives offered by state-owned banks are set to be reduced. This may open up opportunities for penetration of the credit market. In the short run, uncertainty in the market will result in volatility, fueling demand from our customers and clients for hedging transactions and enhancing the visibility of the institution’s differentiators, such as agility and the capacity to develop custom products. In the medium term, the return of economic growth at a significant pace will increase the demand for credit. Against this backdrop, at the start of 2015 the institution reviewed its segmen- tation strategy, proceeding with its continuous pursuit of proximity to customers and clients, guaranteeing first-rate service, and offering effective and timely solutions. Safra Group Banco Safra is part of an international network of banks recognized worldwide for tradition, security, and conservative business management. The Group operates in 19 countries, and in December 2014 had R$621.1 billion in total funds (free, raised and managed assets), with equity of R$40.1 billion.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS 50 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report José Manuel da Costa Gomes – Accountant – CRC nº 1SP219892/O-0 Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statement (all amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated) 1. Operations Banco Safra S.A. and its subsidiaries (together “Safra”, “Safra Group”, “Company” and/or “Bank”), are engaged in asset, liability and accessory operations inherent in the related authorized lines of business (commercial, including foreign exchange, housing loans, credit, financing and investment, and commercial leasing), and complementary activities among which are insurance operations, supplementary pension fund, brokerage and distribution of securities, management of credit cards and investment funds, and managed portfolios, in accordance with current legislation and regulations. 2. Presentation of the financial statements a) Presentation of the financial statements The consolidated financial statements of Banco Safra S.A. and subsidiaries (“CONSOLIDATED”) approved by the Board of Directors on 2/2/2015, have been prepared and are presented in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, in accordance with Law 6,404/1976 (Brazilian Corporate Law) and respective changes introduced by Laws 11,638/2007 and 11,941/2009, associated to the standards issued by the National Monetary Council (CMN), the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and the Superintendence of Private Insurances (SUSEP), as applicable. Leasing operations are presented under the financial method, that is, at the present value in the Balance sheet with its respective financial result presented on the Credit operations account of the Statement of income. Advances on foreign exchange contracts are presented in conjunction with the foreign exchange portfolio for credit operations. The presentation of foreign exchange gains and losses is adjusted so that income and expenses represent only the changes and differences in exchange rates applied to the foreign currency amounts. As of the fourth quarter of 2014, Safra has recognized tax credits from temporary differences arising from the recording of allowances for loan losses (Minimum required ALL) and tax claims for risk events occurred during the year. The amount recognized in the period was R$ 565,644, as presented in Note 14(b-I). Additionally, due to the expected worsening of the economic scenario in 2015, Safra revised its loan loss provisioning model, including guarantees and sureties, and recorded R$ (578,210) of additional ALL, as presented in Note 8 (b-II ). To improve comparability of the statement of income between the years, we are presenting these material events, totaling R$ (12,566), under “Other Operating Expenses” - Note 13(h). b) Basis of consolidation The balance sheet accounts and the income and expenses between the parent and subsidiary companies, as well as the unrealized profits between the consolidated companies, were eliminated on consolidation. The Exclusive investment funds of the consolidated companies were consolidated.

Significant accounting practices a) Determination of results Profit is determined on the accrual basis of accounting, that is, income and expenses are included in the period in which they occur, simultaneously when they are realized, regardless of receipt or payment. b) Cash flows I. Cash and cash equivalents - represented by cash and deposits held at call with financial institutions, recorded in line item ‘Cash’, interbank deposits retrievable 52 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report within 90 days, with an immaterial risk of market value variation. ‘Cash equivalents’ are amounts held for the purpose of settling short term cash obligations and not for investment or other purposes. II. Statement of cash flows - prepared in line with the criteria set out in Accounting Standard CPC 03 – Statements of cash flows, approved by CMN Resolution 3,604/2008. This standard foresees the statements of cash flows being made up of amounts used for operating, investing and financing purposes. These being: Financial Statements •Operating activities are the main income generating activities of the entity that are neither investing nor financing activities. Included in this section are the funding activities that are carried out for the purposes of financial intermediation and other operational activities that are typical of a financial institution; •Investing activities are those related to the buying and selling of long-term assets and other investments not included as cash equivalents, such as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments; and •Financing activities are those that result in changes to the size and composition of the entity’s and third party capital. Included in this section are structured funding activities aimed at raising resources to finance the entity itself. Cash flows from operating activities are presented using the indirect method. Cash flows from investing and financing activities are presented based on gross payments and receivables. c) Short-term interbank investments Interbank investments are stated at cost plus, when applicable, accrued income and monetary and foreign exchange variations up to the balance sheet date, calculated on a pro rata basis. d) Marketable securities and derivative financial instruments In accordance with Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) Circular 3,068/2001, securities are classified according to management’s intention into three specific categories: •Trading – securities acquired to be actively and frequently traded. The securities are stated in current assets, regar- dless of their maturities and adjusted to market against income for the period; •Available-for-sale – securities that can be traded but which are not acquired to be actively and frequently traded or held to maturity. Accrued income is recognized in the Statement of income, and unrealized gains and losses arising from market value fluctuations are recognized in a specific account in equity, net of taxes; •Held-to-maturity – securities which the Bank has the intention and financial capacity to hold in portfolio up to their maturity. These securities are stated at cost, plus income accrued. The reconsideration of how securities are categorized occurs when the half-yearly statements are being prepared, taking into consideration their intended use and financial capacity, in accordance with procedures established by BACEN Circular 3,068/2001. Derivative financial instruments used to hedge exposures to risks through the change of certain characteristics of the financial assets and liabilities hedged that are considered highly effective and follow all the requirements of designation and documentation under BACEN Circular 3,082/2002 are classified as accounting hedges according to their nature: •Market risk hedge - hedged financial assets or liabilities and the related derivative financial instruments, including assets classified as available for sale and its tax effects, are recorded at market value, with the related gains or losses recognized in the Statement of income; and •Cash flow hedge - hedged financial assets or financial liabilities and the related derivative financial instruments are Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 53 Financial Statements recorded at market value, with the related gains or losses, net of taxes, recognized in a specific account of equity entitled “Carrying value adjustments”. The non-effective hedge portion is recognized directly in the Statement of income. Derivative financial instruments contracted at the request of customers or on behalf of the Company itself that do not meet the accounting hedge criteria established by the Brazilian Central Bank, especially derivative financial instruments used to manage overall risk exposure, are recorded at market value, with gains and losses recognized directly in the Statement of income. e) Market value measurement The market value measurement methodology (probable realizable value) of securities and derivative financial instruments is based on the economic scenario and pricing models developed by management and include gathering of average prices practiced in the market, applicable at the Balance sheet date. Accordingly, when these items are financially settled, the actual results could differ from the estimates. f)Credit operations and allowance for loan losses These are recorded at present value based on the index and contractual interest rate, on a pro rata basis, calculated up to the Balance sheet date. The revenues related to transactions that are delayed for 60 days or more are recognized in the Statement of income only when received, regardless of their risk level classification. The Bank records monthly allowances for loan losses in conformity with the minimum provisioning levels established by CMN Resolution 2,682/1999, which requires the classification of transactions into nine risk levels, from “AA” (minimum risk) to “H” (maximum risk), and also based on 54 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report an analysis of the risks involved in the realization of the receivables, periodically performed and reviewed by management, which considers, among others, the historical experience with borrowers, the economic scenario and global and specific portfolio risks. For the purposes of presentation in the notes, lending operations and their respective allowances are classified into two groups: i) Normal course and general allowance for loan losses - transactions without delay and/or with installments overdue up to 14 days, and ii) Normal course and specific allowance for loan losses - transactions with installments overdue for more than 14 days. The transactions classified in level “H” are written off against assets after six months from their classification into this level, and then are controlled in a memorandum account for at least five years and while all collection procedures are not exhausted. Renegotiated transactions remain at least at the same risk level in which they were classified. Renegotiated transactions that had already been written off are rated in risk level H, and any income from the renegotiation is only recognized when actually received. When a significant amount is paid or new material events justify changing a transaction’s risk level, the transaction may be reclassified into a lower risk rating. g) Write down of financial instruments In accordance with CMN Resolution 3,533/ 2008, financial assets are written down when the contractual rights to the cash flows from these assets expire, or when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the instrument are transferred. When substantially all the risks and rewards are not transferred nor retained, Safra assesses the control of the instrument in order to determine whether it should be maintained in assets. Financial Statements Securities linked to repurchase and assignment of credit with co-obligation are not derecognized because Safra retains substantially all the risks and rewards to the extent there is, respectively, a commitment to repurchase them at a predetermined amount or to make payments in the event of default of the original debtor of the credit operations. Financial liabilities are written down if the obligation is contractually extinguished or settled. h) Other assets These correspond basically to assets not held for use, especially those received in lieu of payment, and prepaid expenses, corresponding to the use of resources whose benefits or services will occur in future periods. i) Investments These are stated at cost, adjusted by impairment. j)Property and equipment in use These correspond to rights in tangible assets that are maintained or used in the Bank and its subsidiaries’ activities, including those rights received as a result of transactions that transfer the risks, rewards, and control of such assets to the Bank. They are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method at annual rates based on the economic useful lives of assets, as follows: properties in use - 4%; communication and security systems, facilities, aircraft, and furniture and fixtures - 10%; and vehicles and data processing equipment - 20%. They are adjusted by impairment. k) Intangible assets These correspond to rights in intangible assets that are maintained or used in the entity’s activities. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated period in which they will generate economic benefits and adjusted by impairment. l)Impairment of non-financial assets CMN Resolution 3,566/2008 provides the procedures applicable to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of impairment and requires compliance with CPC Technical Pronouncement 1 - Impairment of assets. The impairment of non-financial assets is recognized as a loss when the book value of an asset or a cash generating unit is higher than its recoverable or realizable value. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets which generates substantial cash flows irrespective of other assets and groups of assets. Impairment losses, when applicable, are recorded in the Statement of income in the period in which they are identified. Non-financial assets are periodically reviewed for impairment, at least on an annual basis, to determine if there are any indications that the assets’ recoverable or realizable value is impaired. Accordingly, in conformity with the above standards, Safra Group’s management is not aware of any material adjustments that might affect the ability to recover the amounts recorded in property and equipment and intangible assets at 12.31.2014 and 2013. m)Open market funding and borrowings and onlendings The recorded amounts include charges, monetary adjustments (on a pro rata basis) and Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 55 Financial Statements foreign exchange variations, as applicable, incurred through the balance sheet date. Incurred transaction costs mainly relate to amounts paid to third parties for intermediation, placement and distribution services for entity securities. They are accounted for against the securities and recognized on a monthly basis to the appropriate expense account i.e. “pro rata temporis”, except when the instruments are measured at fair value through the profit or loss. n) Insurance, reinsurance and supplementary pension plan operations I. Receivables from insurance and reinsurance operations •Premiums receivable - refer to financial resources flowing to the Bank as receipt of premiums related to insurance, recorded on the date of issuance of the policies. An allowance for loan losses is recorded for these amounts and, in case of non-payment, they are written off through the unilateral cancellation of the insurance coverage. •Reinsurance technical provisions - comprise technical provisions referring to reinsurance operations. Reinsurance operations are carried out in the normal course of activities in order to limit its potential losses. The liabilities related to reinsurance operations are presented gross of their respective recoveries, since the existence of a contract does not exempt the Company from its obligations to the policyholders. •Deferred acquisition costs - include direct and indirect costs related to the origination of insurances. These costs, except for the commissions paid to the brokers and others, are recorded directly in the Statement of income, when incurred. The commissions are deferred and are recognized in the Statement of income in proportion to the recognition of the revenues with premiums, that is, for the term corresponding to the insurance contract. 56 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report II. Technical reserves of insurance and supplementary pension plan Insurance and supplementary pension plan reserves are recorded based on technical actuarial notes, in accordance with criteria established by SUSEP and National Council of Private Insurances (CNSP) Resolution 281/2013 and SUSEP Circular 462/2013, and subsequent modifications: a) Insurance: •Provision for unearned premiums (PPNG) - corresponds to the coverage of claims and expenses to be incurred for the risks assumed on the calculation base date, irrespective of their issue, corresponding to the remaining period in effect. It is calculated based on the commercial premium, gross of reinsurance and net of coinsurance ceded, also comprising the estimate for current risks not issued (PPNG-RVNE). Between the issuance and the initial date of effectiveness of the risk, the non-elapsed effectiveness period considered is the same as the risk effectiveness term. After the issue and initial date of effectiveness of the risk, the provision is calculated on a daily pro rata basis. PPNG related to retrocession transactions is recognized based on information received from the reinsurance company; •Provision for unsettled claims (PSL) - based on estimates of indemnities relating to claims received until the end of the period, and monetarily restated according to SUSEP regulations. •Reserve for incurred but not reported losses (IBNR) - calculated based on actuarial studies and recorded to cover claims that have occurred but not notified by the insured party. •Provision for Related Expenses (PDR) recorded to cover the amounts expected from expenses related to claims, and it is recorded in accordance with the methodology approved in the actuarial technical note. Financial Statements •Complementary Provision for Contributions (PCC) - established, when it is noted an insufficiency relating to the PPNG, as accrued in the Liability Adequacy Test (LAT). The adjustments that could arise from insufficiencies in the other technical provisions, accrued in the LAT, are carried out in the provisions. b) Supplementary pension plan: •Reserves for unvested and vested benefits - represent the amount of the obligations assumed with the participants of the defined contribution plans PGBL and VGBL and are recognized according to the methodology established in a technical actuarial note approved by SUSEP. •Provision for Related Expenses (PDR) recorded to cover the amounts expected from expenses related to claims, and it is recorded in accordance with the methodology approved in the actuarial technical note. •Complementary Provision for Contributions (PCC) - established when it is noted insufficiency related to the technical provisions PPNG, PMBAC and PMBC, as accrued in the Liability Adequacy Test (LAT). The adjustments that could arise from insufficiencies in the other technical provisions, accrued in the LAT, are carried out in the provisions. c) Liability Adequacy Test (LAT): The Adequacy Test is to assess the liabilities arising from the contracts of the certificates of insurance plans (except for Compulsory Automobile Insurance for Personal Damages (DPVAT), Compulsory Ship and Cargo Insurance for Personal Damages (DPEM) and Housing Insurance of the National Housing System (SFH)) and of open-end supplementary pension plan, considering the minimum assumptions determined by SUSEP and by the Company’s own internal actuaries. This test is carried out on a quarterly basis, in accordance with the criteria established by SUSEP Circular 457/2012, and subsequent modifications. The LAT result is the difference between: i) the amount of the current estimate of cash flows; and ii) the sum of the accounting balance of the technical provisions on the period end date (PPNG, PPNG-RVNE, PSL, IBNR, PMBAC and PMBC), deducted from the deferred acquisition costs and intangible assets directly related to the technical allowances. III. Calculation of insurance, reinsurance and supplementary pension plan earnings Insurance premiums, net of co-insurance premiums, as well as acquisition costs, are recognized at the point of issue of the policy contract or invoice. Insurance premium income is recognized in the Statement of income over the course of the policy risk period. This is achieved by establishing an unearned premium reserve and deferred acquisition costs. Reinsurance premiums are deferred and recognized over the course of the covered period. Pension plan contributions are recognized as received. Income and expenses arising from insurance operations with DPVAT are recognized based on the information received from Seguradora Líder dos Consórcios do Seguro DPVAT S.A. o) Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities, and legal, tax and social security obligations The recognition, measurement and disclosure of the provisions, contingent assets and liabilities and legal obligations are made in conformity with the criteria set forth in the CPC Technical Pronouncement 25 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, approved by CMN Resolution 3,823/2009 and BACEN Circular Letter 3,429/2010, as described below: (i) Contingent assets - possible assets arising from past events and whose existence Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 57 Financial Statements will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events that are not fully under the control of the entity. The contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements, but are disclosed in the notes when it is probable that a gain from these assets will be realized. However, when there is evidence that the realization of the gain from these assets is virtually certain, the assets are no longer classified as contingent and start to be recognized. (ii) Contingent provisions and liabilities - a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of past events, in which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured, should be recognized by the entity as a provision. If the outflow of resources to settle the obligation is not probable or cannot be reliably measured, then a contingent liability is characterized, the recognition of a provision not being required but only a disclosure in the notes, unless the likelihood of having to settle the obligation is remote. Contingent liabilities also result from possible obligations arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events that are not fully under the control of the entity. These possible obligations should also be disclosed. Management evaluates obligations, based on the best estimates and taking into consideration the opinion of legal advisors, and records a provision when the likelihood of a loss is considered probable, and only discloses the information when the likelihood is considered possible. Obligations for which there is a remote chance of loss are neither provided nor disclosed. (iii) Legal (tax and social security obligations) - refer to lawsuits challenging the legality or constitutionality of certain taxes. The amount under litigation is quantified, provided and adjusted on a monthly basis. 58 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report The judicial deposits not linked to provisions for contingencies and legal obligations are restated on a monthly basis. p) Taxes Taxes are calculated at the rates below, considering, with respect to the respective calculation bases, the applicable legislation for each charge: Income tax 15.00% Income tax surcharge 10.00% Social Contribution (1) 15.00% Social Integration Program (PIS) (2) 0.65% Social Contribution on Revenues (COFINS) (2) Services Tax (ISS) 4.00% Up to 5.00% (1) Non-financial institution subsidiaries continue to be subject to a rate of 9% for this contribution; (2) Non-financial institution subsidiaries that perform a non-cumulative calculation continue to be subject to PIS and COFINS rates of 1.65% and 7.6%, respectively. Taxes are recognized in the statement of income, except when they relate to items recognized directly in equity. Deferred taxes, represented by tax credits and deferred tax liabilities, are calculated on the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Tax credits from temporary differences arise mainly from the fair value measurement of certain assets and liabilities, including derivative contracts, provisions for tax contingencies, civil and labor contingencies, and allowances for loan losses (Minimum required ALL), and are recognized only when all of the requirements for their constitution are met, as established by CMN Resolution 3,059, of December 20, 2002. Taxes related to fair value adjustments of financial assets available for sale are recognized as a corresponding entry to the adjustment in equity and are subsequently recognized in income as realized gains and losses of the respective financial assets. Financial Statements q) Deferred income Refers to income received before fulfillment of the obligation from which it arose. The recognition, as effective income, will be recorded over the term of the transaction. r)Use of accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to utilize its best judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, income and expenses and other transactions, such as: (i) the market value of certain financial assets and financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments; (ii) depreciation rates of property and equipment items; (iii) amortization of intangible assets; (iv) provisions required to cover risks of contingent liabilities; (v) tax credits; (vi) impairment of trade receivables, and (vii) insurance and pension plan technical reserves. The amounts of the possible liquidation of these assets and liabilities, financial or otherwise, may differ from those estimates. 4.

These derivatives are contracted with a higher value to include their tax effects - “over hedge”. 62 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report The main purpose of the use of derivative financial instruments by Banco Safra and its subsidiaries is to provide to their customers products that hedge these customers’ assets against risks from currency and interest rate fluctuations. Furthermore, these instruments are used by the Bank in the daily management of the risks assumed in its operations, including the hedging of the portfolio of fixed interest securities and operations defined by management. The main risks related to the derivative financial instruments are: credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk, as defined below: •Credit risk is the exposure to losses in the event of default by counterparties or by debtors of contracted amounts. •Market risk is the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, stock market prices, and other values, and due to the type of product, volume of operations, terms and conditions of the agreement and underlying volatility. Financial Statements •Liquidity risk is the risk arising from mismatches between negotiable assets and payable liabilities in transactions with derivative financial instruments that might affect the payment ability of the entity, taking into consideration the currencies and settlement terms of their assets and liabilities. Banco Safra and its subsidiaries’ positions are monitored by an independent control function, which uses a specific system to manage risk, including calculating the Value at Risk (VaR) with a confidence interval of 99 percent, stress tests, back testing and other technical resources. The Group has a Market Risk Committee, consisting of high-ranked executives, which meets on a weekly basis to analyze the market conditions and a Treasury and Risk Committee, including members of the Executive Committee, which meets on a monthly basis to discuss detailed aspects of Market Risk management and review risk limits, stress scenarios, strategies and outcomes.

The tax offset was recorded in July 2014 and is disclosed in the Statement of Income as “Other Operating Income” – Note 13 (g). b) Provisions and contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are as follows: I. Civil lawsuits Civil lawsuits are represented mainly by indemnity claims for property and/or moral damages due to direct consumer credit operations, collections and loans, protests of notes, inclusion of customer data in credit restriction databases and elimination of inflation effects in connection with economic plans on savings account balances. These lawsuits are evaluated when a court notification is received, and are classified as mass, when related to similar causes with insignificant amount, or as special, when there is a special characteristic in the lawsuit received, arising from the significance of the amount involved, or from matter with corporate importance or different from ordinary lawsuits. The allowance recorded for mass lawsuits received is calculated on a monthly basis at the average historical cost of payments of lawsuits terminated in the last 12 months, also considering the average of the fees paid in the same period and causes terminated due to successful welcome. This average cost is restated quarterly and multi- 82 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report plied by the amount of outstanding lawsuits in the portfolio on the last business day of the month. The special lawsuits are evaluated individually concerning the likelihood of loss, and are periodically reviewed and quantified based on the judicial stage, on the proof presented and/or on the jurisprudence in accordance with the evaluation of management and internal lawyers. A provision is constituted at the full amount for lawsuits classified as a probable loss. II. Labor lawsuits Lawsuits filed to claim alleged labor rights derived from the labor legislation specifically relating to financial institutions, especially overtime. These labor lawsuits are evaluated when a court notification is received, and are classified as technical. The lawsuits are evaluated individually by the likelihood of loss, and are periodically reviewed and quantified based on the phase of the process, on the proof presented and on the jurisprudence in accordance with the evaluation of management and internal lawyers. A provision is constituted insofar as the probability of loss is considered probable, and readjusted by a non-linear regression between the technical evaluation and the payments carried out historically over the previous two years. This regression is recalculated on an annual basis. The provision arising from the technical evaluation is readjusted at the amounts of the judicial deposits. The full amount of the deposits is provisioned by in cash and 85% of the amount of the deposits in government bonds. III. Other risks Specific contingencies quantified and provided for per individual evaluation, basically represented by Salary Variations Compensation Fund (FCVS) provisions. Financial Statements IV. Tax and social security lawsuits These are represented mainly by administrative proceedings and lawsuits related to municipal and federal taxes.

Risk management Banco Safra has a set of rules and procedures to ensure compliance with legal provisions, regulatory standards, best market practices, and its internal policies. Banco Safra concentrates its operating, liquidity and market risk management frameworks on the Corporate Risk Board and its credit risk management framework on the Credit Analysis Department, thus establishing the basis for compliance with the prevailing regulations. In the site of Banco Safra (www.safra. com.br) information concerning the management structures for credit, market, liquidity and operation risk and risk management is available. The risk management report will be available at that address at the time set by the Central Bank Circular 3,678/2013. a) Credit risk Banco Safra is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that arises when a counterparty causes a financial loss by failing to meet a contractual obligation. Significant changes in the economy or in the financial health of a specific segment of industry that represent a concentration in the portfolio held by Banco Safra can result in losses that differ from those provided for on the Balance Sheet date. Therefore, Banco Safra carefully controls the exposure to credit risk. Exposures to this type of risk mainly arise from direct loan operations, indirect loan operations (with the intermediation of financial agents), debentures, financial investments, derivatives and other securities. There is also the credit risk in connec- tion with financial agreements not recorded in the Balance Sheet, such as loan commitments or pledging of collaterals, sureties and guarantees. The Credit Risk Management Committee concentrates the Credit Risk governance to ensure full visibility across the entire credit life cycle. In order to ensure the necessary independence of the risk function, this committee is comprised of executive officers and superintendents responsible for Corporate Risk Management, Credit Analysis, Policies, Modeling and Portfolio Management, Monitoring, Collection and Validation. Depending on the nature of the issue, the Committee may refer it to the Board of Directors. b) Market risk Market risk is the possibility of losses arising from fluctuations in market prices in the positions held. Banco Safra tracks its total exposure to market risks, measured by the daily Value at Risk (VaR) at a 99% confidence level, adopting as a policy a maximum expected loss of less than 3% of its regulatory capital. To be able to comply with this regulation, the Bank sets targets for Treasury that are compatible with this risk exposure. Banco Safra’s market risk assessments also include the use of stress metrics, contemplating crises in historical periods and prospective stressed economic scenarios, in addition to the effects of stress among risk factor families. Additionally, stop loss limits are established. The Market Risk area actively participates in the approval of new products or financial instruments that may introduce Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 91 Financial Statements new risk factors for Treasury management. As it is responsible for mark-to-market pricing processes and result and risk calculation, the approval of the Market Risk area is required before new products are implemented. The policies that govern market risk management - Market Risk Policy and Market Risk Limits Policy - are disclosed to Treasury, control and support areas (liquidity and market risk managers, internal audit, internal controls and compliance, liquidity and market risk validation and information technology) through the corporate intranet, in addition to the disclosure of the Market Risk management framework to the public. c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk consists of the possibility that the Bank may not have sufficient financial resources to honor its commitments as a result of mismatches between payments and receipts, considering the different currencies and settlement terms of rights and obligations. To manage liquidity risk, there are committees for the management of assets and liabilities, convened every month, with the objective of defining the liquidity strategies to be followed in a two-year horizon. Cash is monitored on a daily basis and reported to the responsible managers and officers. Banco Safra submits to the Brazilian Central Bank the liquidity risk reports determined by CMN Resolution 4,090/2012, with specifications established by BACEN Circular 3,393/2008. These reports are prepared based on management information of the Investment Risk area to comply with the prevailing regulations. 92 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report The Investment Risk area uses statistics and projections on the behavior of payments and receipts to assess impacts on cash over time in a series of scenarios: planning or normality, run off, stress and hard stress and there is also the possibility of using an arbitrary scenario. The results from the application of these scenarios are discussed at the meetings of the Committee of Assets and Liabilities. d) Capital management Banco Safra’s capital risk management objectives encompass a concept wider than “equity” and include the following aspects: -Comply with the requirements established by the regulatory bodies of the bank markets where it operates. - Safeguard its operating capacity so that it continues providing return to stockholders and benefits to other stakeholders. - Maintain a solid capital base to support the development of its business. Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored by Banco Safra, through techniques based on guidelines established by the Basel Committee, as implemented by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), for oversight purposes. The required information is submitted to the appropriate body on a monthly basis. The bank authority requires that each bank or group of bank institutions maintains a minimum regulatory capital ratio of 11%. Banco Safra’s regulatory capital is divided into two tiers: Financial Statements Tier I capital – share capital, retained earnings and reserves for the recognition of retained earnings. Tier II capital – qualified subordinated debt and unearned income arising from the measurement at fair value of equity instruments available for sale. Risk-weighted assets are measured by a hierarchy of five risk weightings determined according to the nature of each asset and its corresponding liability - in addition to reflecting estimated market, liquidity and credit risks and other associated risks – considering all possible guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for the exposure that is not accounted for, with some adjustments being made to reflect the more contingent nature of potential losses. e) Operating risk Operating risk is the possibility of incurring losses from failure, deficiency or inadequate internal procedures, personnel and systems, or external events. Operating risk also includes the legal risk associated with the inappropriateness or deficiency in agreements entered into by Banco Safra and its subsidiaries, as well as sanctions arising from non-compliance with legal provisions and damages to third parties arising from the activities performed by Banco Safra and its subsidiaries. The legal risk is assessed on a continuous basis by Banco Safra´s legal areas and specific Committees with that scope. This definition excludes the risk of reputation or image as well as other risks, such as strategic or business risks. The Operating Risk Area is an independent control unit, segregated from the internal audit. The Operating Risk Area is responsible for meeting the requirements arising from BACEN Resolution 3,380/2006 on the need for identification, evaluation, monitoring, control and mitigation of operating risk, as well as for the preparation and maintenance of the Operating Risk Policy. It is also responsible for Internal Control and Compliance activities. f) Sensitivity analysis (Trading and Banking portfolios) In accordance with the classification criteria for operations foreseen lwithin CMN Resolution 3,464/2007, BACEN Circular 3,354/2007 and the New Capital Agreement of BASEL II, financial instruments are divided into Trading portfolio (Trading) and Structural portfolio (Banking). The Trading Portfolio comprises all operations, including derivatives, held for the purposes of trading or destined for hedging other financial instruments used for this strategy. They consist of transactions for reselling, obtaining price change benefits, either actual or expected, or for realizing arbitrations. This portfolio has rigid limits defined by the risk controllers and is monitored on a daily basis. The Banking portfolio covers all operations that do not fall into the Trading portfolio, and are typically structural operations for the institutions business lines and the respective hedges that may or may not be made through the use of derivatives. As a result, the derivatives in this portfolio are not used for speculative purposes. The sensitivity analysis below is a simulation and does not take into consideration management’s ability to react were such circumstances to occur, which would certainly mitigate the losses that would be incurred. In addition to this, the impacts presented below do not represent accounting losses as the methodology used is not based on Safra’s accounting practices.

Example: the Real/Dollar rate used was R$ 2.6746 and the 1 year pre-fixed rate was 12.98% per year. •Scenario 2: Application of a movement of 25% in the respective curves or prices, based on the market. Example: the Real/Dollar rate used was R$ 3.3101 and the 1 year pre-fixed rate was 16.21% per year. •Scenario 3: Application of a movement of 50% in the respective curves or prices, based on the market. Example: the Real/Dollar rate used was R$ 3.9722 and the 1 year pre-fixed rate was 19.45% per year. g) Underwriting risk The underwriting risk is the possibility of losses which, directly or indirectly, may be 94 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report contrary to the Company’s expectations in relation to the actuarial and technical bases used for the calculation of premiums, contributions and technical reserves arising from insurance and pension plan operations. Safra has a risk underwriting policy which describes all procedures and rules for the acceptance of the risk. This policy is prepared by the technical department and describes all the rules for the analysis and acceptance of risks, and also contains guidelines for the analysis of risks subject to previous analysis, as well as the excluded risks. Safra’s Technical Directors carry out the risk assessment and it involves the following activities: I. Follow-up and assessment of the conditions of co-insurance; II. Development of new products; III. Discussion/definition of the policies of acceptance with the actuary; IV. Negotiation of reinsurance agreements and of conditions and fee for temporary policies; Financial Statements V. Preparation of insurance proposals; VI. Studies for new policies; VII. Recovery of reinsurance amounts; and VIII.Technical support to customers and nominees. The Technical Board, responsible for the assessment of the underwriting risks, is also responsible for the coordination of the development of the products or any changes in them, including acceptance policies, methodology for the calculation of premiums and provisions, as well as the negotiations involving coinsurance and reinsurance. Safra adopts a policy of transfer of risks in reinsurance and coinsurance, therefore it prevents low frequency claims with a high value from affecting the stability of the result of its operations. The changes in life or mortality expectations, which directly affect the assumed risk, are controlled through a periodical follow-up carried out by the actuarial area of Safra and the result is reflected, if necessary, in the adjustments of technical provisions. The main lines in which Safra operates are: comprehensive, credit life insurance, personal accident, life, transportation and multiple peril. The main business risk of insurance operations is the loss ratio variation. The main business risk of supplementary pension plan operations is the technical provision variation. Sensitivity analyses were prepared for these risks and the results obtained are not material. h) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities I. Methodology of calculating market value: The fair value of financial instruments is determined based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction conducted between independent participants at the measurement date, without bias. There are different levels of data that must be used to measure the fair value of financial instruments: the observable data that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1), the data that are directly or indirectly observable as assets or similar liabilities (level 2), identical assets or liabilities in illiquid markets and unobservable market data that reflect the very premises of the Safra when pricing an asset or liability (Level 3). This maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to determine fair value. To arrive at an estimate of fair value of a financial instrument measured based on unobservable market, Safra first determines the appropriate model to be adopted and the lack of monitoring of significant data, evaluates all data based on relevant experience in lead data evaluation, including but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prices on equity or debt, exchange rates and credit curves. Also, with respect to products that are not exchange traded, the decision of Safra should be considered to assess the appropriate level of valuation adjustments to reflect counterparty credit quality, the actual amount of credit, liquidity constraints and parameters unobservable when relevant. Although it is believed that the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those prevailing in the market, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date and / or settlement.

Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report | 103 Financial Statements Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Banco Safra S.A. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Banco Safra S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Safra”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2014 and the consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Independent auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. 104 | Banco Safra 2014, Annual Report Financial Statements An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Institution’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 Institution’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes CRC nº 2SP000160/O-5 Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banco Safra S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2014, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN).
