Banco Bradesco SA ( (BBD) ) has provided an announcement.
In 2025 Banco Bradesco accelerated the execution of its transformation plan, reporting strong commercial traction across core product lines and an improving risk profile. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the bank posted net income of R$6.5 billion and a return on average equity of 15.2%, with total 2025 profit reaching R$24.7 billion, up 26.1% versus 2024. Revenues rose 9.8% year-on-year in the quarter to R$36.1 billion, supported by a 13.2% jump in net interest income and solid fee and commission growth, while the expanded loan portfolio reached R$1.089 trillion in December 2025, up 11.0% year-on-year on strong MSME, individual and late-year large corporate lending. Asset quality indicators improved, with stable 90-day delinquency, falling problem assets in the restructured loan book, lower stage 3 balances and a slight reduction in the cost of credit to 3.2% in 4Q25. Insurance operations remained a key earnings pillar, generating R$5.6 billion in operating income and R$2.8 billion in net income in the quarter, with a 24.3% ROAE and R$10.1 billion of earnings for 2025. Despite temporary expense pressures from ongoing transformation initiatives and higher provisions, the bank’s efficiency ratio improved by 2.2 percentage points over the year as revenues outpaced an 8.5% rise in operating costs, and capital ratios strengthened, with Tier 1 at 13.2% and common equity at 11.2% at year-end 2025. Management signaled that with credit risk under control and 2025 loan growth and insurance income outperforming guidance, Bradesco plans to sustain heavy investment in digital, customer-centric and cultural transformation in 2026 while targeting continued, gradual profitability gains and expanding its already surpassed socio-environmental financing commitment, now aiming to direct a cumulative R$450 billion to such sectors by December 2026.
