Pedro Lezuki's questions to Banco Santander (Brasil) (BSBR) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Pedro Lezuki of Itau BBA asked about the impact of government-guaranteed loans on the 15-90 day NPL ratio and questioned the sustainability of the strong expense control performance seen in the quarter.
Answer
An executive confirmed that government-guaranteed lines contribute to the 15-90 day NPL figure due to their specific rollover mechanics but are not a concern due to the underlying collateral. CEO Mario Roberto Opice Leão added that the strong expense performance is part of a multi-year transformation agenda focused on automation and reducing system redundancies, which he expects to provide a sustainable tailwind for the coming years and is key to reaching their 20%+ ROE target.
