4 IJoint Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento (BESI) developed its activity in 2011 in a climate of strong instability, as the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, the slowdown of the global economy and the successive sovereign rating downgrades spawned uncertainty within the financial markets. Concerns about the capacity of the peripheral countries (Greece, Ireland and Portugal) to meet their sovereign debt obligations spread to core Eurozone economies such as Spain, Italy and France, eroding confidence, which fell to its lowest level since the Lehman Brothers collapse. Fears about the contagion of the sovereign debt crisis made financial institutions more reluctant to expose themselves to each other, causing a liquidity dry-up and a drastic reduction in the financing of investment. On the other hand, the restrictive policies adopted in the economies subject to contagion as a response to the crisis fuelled the contraction of economic activity and consumption, with a direct impact on the main European economies but also indirectly penalising the whole global economy, including the emerging economies. In May 2011 the Portuguese Government, the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund agreed on the terms of a EUR 78 billion financial assistance package to Portugal. This agreement established a number of targets to be reached by the national financial institutions in the medium term, including balance sheet deleveraging, reinforcement of capital ratios and improvement of liquidity position, naturally conditioning banking activity during the year. Supported by the reinforcement of its international expansion, the increased weight of its advisory and intermediation businesses, less capital and liquidity intensive, and a higher loan portfolio rotation, BESI s activity proved quite resilient. Banking income totalled EUR 238 million, down by 8.1% on The Bank posted a net profit for the year of EUR 9.1 million, a year-on-year reduction of 85% that was mainly caused by the deterioration of operating performance, losses on the sale of assets and loans and an increase in credit impairments. Bearing out the Bank s international development strategy, the contribution of the international area to total banking income increased from 65% in 2010 to 72% in During the year we reinforced our expansion into markets with high growth potential, entering a 75/25 joint venture with a local partner in India, the Burman family. The aim is to develop brokerage activities in a first phase, subsequently consolidating our presence through an investment bank. We are also looking into alternatives to reinforce our presence in Hong Kong, where we already develop a brokerage business through Execution Noble, and to expand our activity in some of the main markets in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Angola, Mozambique and South Africa. In those geographies where the Bank already has a well-rooted presence, we pursued the consolidation of the existing business areas, focusing on intermediation and financial advisory activities: In Portugal, we maintained our leading position, actively participating in the ongoing privatisations programme, namely providing advisory services to China Three Gorges Corporation on its acquisition of 21.35% of EDP Electricidade de Portugal, S.A. and to State Grid Corporation of China on its acquisition of 25% of REN Redes Energéticas Nacionais, SGPS, S.A.; In Spain, our growing penetration in the corporate segment allowed us to participate in several transactions with high market visibility; In Brazil, our activity remained vigorous during the year, especially in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and capital market business areas, which achieved relevant positions in the local rankings; In the United Kingdom, our efforts focused on reinforcing the activities of Execution Noble with the objective of setting a difference vis-à-vis the competition, namely by promoting the distribution of Iberian, Polish and Brazilian products in the UK market; In Poland, where the Bank achieved remarkable progress, we concentrated on the M&A and capital market activities, leading and participating in various transactions; In the United States, we developed the advisory and intermediation activities with the objective of creating a platform for the distribution of products originated in other geographies; In Mexico we continued to analyse opportunities to develop the project finance and M&A business areas, through our joint representative office with BES. 4 Annual Report 2011

5 Once again the Bank s strategy translated into leading or very prominent positions in its main business areas: We were considered Best Investment Bank in Portugal in 2011, by the World Finance magazine, and Best Equities House in Portugal and Best M&A House in Portugal in 2011 by the Euromoney magazine; In Mergers & Acquisitions, we remained market leaders in Portugal and Iberia, by number of announced transactions (Bloomberg rankings), and maintained the 5 th position in the Brazilian M&A market, by value of completed transactions (according to ANBIMA); In Capital Markets - Origination, we participated in the most important transactions taking place in all the geographies where we operate. In Brazil, we rubbed shoulders with the largest local and international banks in the structuring of financing and equity sale operations, reaching 11 th place in the respective ANBIMA rankings; In Brokerage, we remained market leader in Portugal, with a market share of 11.7%, and stood in 4 th place in the Madrid Stock Exchange s brokers ranking, with a market share of 7.3%. In Brazil, we advanced five positions in the Bovespa ranking, rising to 25 th place in a universe of roughly 100 brokers, underpinned by our recent creation of a derivatives desk. In Poland, we consolidated our 13 th position in the Polish brokers ranking, with a market share of 2%. In the United Kingdom, we focused our activity on the integration with Execution Noble. In Project Finance and Securitisation, we completed 23 transactions, playing a prominent role in the provision of advisory services. Leveraging on the bank s expertise in the infrastructures and renewable energy sectors, we took several initiatives to exploit alternative financing solutions, namely signing a Memorandum of Understanding with DEG - Deutsche Investitions - und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbh, a leading development finance institution in Europe, with the aim of originating, structuring and executing financing solutions in Latin America and other developing markets. The outlook for 2012 is marred by persisting uncertainties concerning the resolution of the public finance crisis in the Eurozone, to which add concerns about global and regional economic growth. In this context, we will certainly be facing another year of great challenges, which we are set on tackling with our usual resolve and determination. We will continue to develop our activity with an increased focus on optimising the available resources, with the firm conviction that the strategy we have outlined, and which has steered our activity, will breed opportunities that we will fully exploit, and that will help us surpass the current difficulties. We would like in first place to thank our Clients, whose preference for the Bank in 2011 we wish to reciprocate by increasingly improving the quality and innovation of our services. Our recognition also goes to our Employees, whose effort and dedication are all the more important in periods of greater difficulties. We also express our appreciation to the Supervisory Board and our Auditors for their contribution to the increasingly high standards in accounting and management information reporting, and also to the Bank of Portugal, the Portuguese Securities Market Commission and the supervision authorities in the countries where we are present, for their constant cooperation and the trust placed in Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento. Finally, in our name and on behalf of all the members of the Board, we wish to express our sorrow for the death of Mr. António Espírito Santo Silva Salgado, who will be missed by all of us. Mr. António Espírito Santo Silva Salgado was a member of the Board of Directors since 1990, and his personal and professional qualities were greatly valued. In Acquisition Finance and Other Lending, we concluded several transactions in Portugal, despite the current funding restrictions. Activity in Brazil was quite strong, particularly in structured loans. Ricardo Espírito Santo Silva Salgado Chairman of the Board of Directors In Private Equity, the year was marked by: i) the continuation of works to launch the 2bCapital fund in the Brazilian market, which should be incorporated early in 2012, and ii) the investments totalling EUR 16 million, mainly concentrated in two companies, namely Globalwatt in Portugal and GLT in Spain.

14 Rating In March 2011, Standard & Poor s (S&P) made two successive downgrades of the Republic of Portugal s long and short-term ratings, to BBB-/A3, with negative outlook (from A-/A-2). On December 5 th, 2011, S&P placed Republic of Portugal s ratings on CreditWatch negative, which were downgraded on January 13 th, 2012 to BB/B. In a press release issued in October 2011, Moody s announced the downgrade of BES Investimento do Brasil, S.A. s credit ratings to Ba2/Not Prime, from Ba1/Not Prime (long-term global local-currency deposit rating), and to Aa3.br/BR-1, from Aa2.br/BR-1 (long-term Brazilian national scale deposit rating). As a consequence, the ratings of the Portuguese banks were also revised downward, namely the long-term rating assigned to Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento, S.A., which on March 31 st, 2011 was lowered to BBB-, with negative outlook (from A-). On December 16 th, 2011, after revising its rating methodology for evaluating financial institutions, S&P downgraded the rating of Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento, S.A. to BB, placing it on CreditWatch negative in January 2012 to reflect the rating and outlook of the Republic of Portugal. On February 14 th, 2012, after the Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment revision, S&P downgraded the long-term rating of Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento S.A. to BB-, from BB, removing it from CreditWatch negative. The outlook remained negative. The agency reaffirmed the B short-term rating. With regard to the Bank s subsidiaries, in December 2011, S&P announced a downgrade of BES Investimento do Brasil, S.A. s credit ratings to BB/B, from BB+/B (global scale) and to braa/bra-1, from braa+/bra-1 (Brazilian local scale), both with negative outlook. The rating on the external debt issue in foreign currency was also lowered, to BB, from BB+, with negative outlook. Moody s also lowered the long-term foreign currency deposit rating to Ba2/Not Prime (from Ba1/Not Prime), the long-term foreign currency senior unsecured debt rating to Ba2/Not Prime (from Ba1/Not Prime), both with negative outlook, and the bank financial strength rating to D (from D+). These ratings downgrades reflected the downward revision of the parent company s risk profile following the downgrade of the Republic of Portugal s sovereign credit risk rating. Moody s report highlighted the recent expansion of the loan operations associated with investment banking activities, the good asset quality of the loan portfolio, and the satisfactory profitability ratios of BES Investimento do Brasil, S.A. as a result of the bank s fee-based operations, such as project finance and corporate finance. In a press release issued on February 16 th 2012, S&P announced the downgrade of BES Investimento do Brasil, S.A, s global scale credit ratings to BB-/B (from BB/B) and Brazilian national scale credit ratings to bra/bra-2 (from braa+/bra-1). This revision reflected the downgrades of BES Investimento do Brasil, S.A. s main shareholder ratings, which in turn resulted from the downgrade of the Republic of Portugal s sovereign credit risk rating. The stand-alone credit profile (SACP) of BES Investimento do Brasil, S.A. was left unchanged at BB, the same as that of its main shareholder. S&P based its rating on the company s adequate capitalisation, expertise, brand recognition in its key business segments, and adequate liquidity. 14 Annual Report 2011
