Banco Bradesco SA ( (BBD) ) has shared an announcement.
Banco Bradesco reported strong results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, highlighting the accelerated execution of its transformation plan and a focus on profitable, controlled growth. In 4Q25, net income reached R$6.5 billion, with a return on average equity of 15.2%—above its cost of capital—and full-year profit rose 26.1% year-on-year to R$24.7 billion. Total revenues climbed to R$36.1 billion in the quarter, supported by a 13.2% annual increase in net interest income and solid fee and commission growth, while the expanded loan portfolio grew 11.0% year-on-year to R$1.089 trillion, driven by MSMEs, individuals and late-year gains in large corporates. Asset quality metrics remained stable, with 90-day delinquency flat in December 2025 and a sharp decline in problem assets within the restructured loan book, allowing the cost of credit to edge down in the quarter. Bradesco’s insurance arm continued to contribute significantly, generating R$5.6 billion in operational income and R$2.8 billion in net income in 4Q25, with a ROAE of 24.3% and R$10.1 billion in earnings for 2025. Efficiency improved as revenues rose faster than expenses despite temporary cost pressure from transformation initiatives and balance-sheet strengthening, and capital ratios stayed comfortably above regulatory requirements, with Tier 1 at 13.2% at year-end 2025. Looking ahead to 2026, management signaled confidence that profitability will keep improving through revenue growth while it sustains heavy investment in digital, customer-centric transformation and cultural change, and it raised its sustainable finance ambition by committing to direct a cumulative R$450 billion to socio-environmental activities by December 2026 after surpassing its 2021–2025 target with R$381.9 billion already allocated.
