In the year under review, the Bank’s net profit rose by 17% and was accompanied by an unequivocal reinforcement of its solid economic and financial base: non-performing loans descended to 1.2%, unrealised capital gains associated with the portfolio of participating interests exceed unrealised losses, net of provisions – the latter falling to less than half the corresponding figure in 2002 – at the same time as provisioning cover for pension obligations surpassed the 100% mark and the capital ratios remain at comfortable levels. If we add the recovery of net unrealised losses on the financial investments and the favourable development in the pension- -related actuarial variances to the net profit for the year, we can confirm that the Bank’s net asset situation improved by EUR 400 million during the past year. Profitability also improved, as borne out by the increase in the return on equity to 14% and the 12% climb in earnings per share. In parallel, the efficiency indicators continued their positive advance, thanks to the containment of administrative costs, depreciation and amortisation and to the competitive capacity which the Bank has evidenced in the principal segments of retail banking. BPI’s sound financial base and its consistent strategy were once again acknowledged by the leading international rating agencies (Standard & Poors, Fitch and Moody’s), which confirmed the previous classifications (A-, A+ and A2, respectively). Insofar as the outlook is concerned, the first two maintained their stable classification, while Moody’s upgraded its outlook to positive, which in this domain represent the best set of results managed by any Portuguese financial institution. The credibility of the Bank’s strategic direction was also confirmed by the market judging from the behaviour of its shares. In fact, Banco BPI shares, including the dividend paid, posted a return of around 40% in 2003, well above the PSI index which added 17.4% over the same period. Efficiency The improvement in BPI’s net profit in 2003 is explained by the convergence of three essential positive effects: ᭿ The organic simplification completed in 2002, which permitted the elimination of tax and operating inefficiencies, with important repercussions for cost reduction; ᭿ The good commercial performance, which was responsible for the 3.2% rise in operating income from banking which, in turn, reflects the very favourable trend in commissions (+6.3% in consolidated terms); 6 Banco BPI | Annual Report 2003 ᭿ Ongoing containment of administrative overheads, depreciation and amortisation, which rose by a mere 0.4% in consolidated terms, while in domestic activity this caption in fact declined 0.2%. These effects over-compensated for the impact of three negative factors: ᭿ The 2.7% contraction in consolidated net interest income, above all as a consequence of the 17.6% fall in narrow net interest income associated with international activity, bearing in mind that the decline was only 0.7% in terms of domestic operations. The negative contribution from international activity is explained by the euro’s appreciation against the dollar, which led to a 15% drop in Banco de Fomento Angola’s net interest income (recorded in euro). Notwithstanding this factor which is linked to the prevailing framework, a quarterly analysis of narrow net interest income shows a positive evolution during the course of 2003 Chairman of the Board of Directors on both the domestic and international fronts; Artur Santos Silva ᭿ The 19.4% increase in net amounts set aside for provisions, explained chiefly by the creation of non-obligatory provisions for other risks and contingencies in the amount of EUR 17.5 million, given that total provisions for loans to Customers actually fell by roughly 5%; ᭿ The negative balance on net extraordinary items, which increased from EUR 5.3 million to EUR 18.9 million, in particular as a consequence of the rise in pension costs stemming from the execution in the last few years of the early-retirements’ programme, in terms of which the total number of Group Employees has been cut by some 20% in the period from the end of 2000 to the close of 2003.

  • ZON Multimedia Towards the Future When It Is All a Matter of 'Fiber'
    ZON Multimedia towards the future When it is all a matter of ‘fiber’ André Almeida Pinho, 32 years old, director of new product development and product management at ZON TV Cabo, stood in front of his office’s window in Lisbon, Portugal, recalling his short but successful company’s story. He wondered how he might continue its successful path in such a time of aggressive competition and change in the telecommunication sector. Established in November 2007, ZON Multimedia was initially known for its TV cable service but quickly conquered the remaining market with its integrated and innovative offer which also included voice and broadband Internet. By the end of 2008 ZON Multimedia, with a business volume of 773, 081 M€, had achieved a leading position in the Triple Play segment. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Filipa Bilbao prepared this case under the supervision of Nuno Magalhães Guedes, in partial fulfillment of the Dissertation requirements for the degree of MSc in Business Administration, at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in January 2012, as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation.

(“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others.
