[Foreign Language] Now to CRO, Felipe Prince; and agribusiness and Family Agriculture VP, Gilson Bittencourt. Now to initiate our live session, I would like to turn the floor over to Tarciana, our CEO.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you very much for joining us for another earnings conference call. Today's discussion builds on the transparency approach that has always guided us. We've been very good about the magnitude of the challenge we are facing. And even more so about our prompts in diagnosing the situation, and we're responding to with significant changes designed to build a future of profitability and growth. In recent days, as we prepared to release those results, I spoke a lot about clear direction, a term we use frequently where I'm from, and that really holds in better significance at this moment. The challenges aren't overcome by taking shortcuts, but through clear direction and hard work. And for this management team, direction means consistent strategy, execution and strengthened drivers of creation. For the second quarter, earnings totaled BRL 3.9 billion, up 13.9% quarter-over-quarter and a 3.3% increase year-to-date. Net interest income continues to grow totaling BRL 27.5 billion, supported by a credit mix offering a better risk-return ratio given the diversification of funding sources and the effective allocation of our liquidity. Fee income grew by nearly 5% with AUM and consortium standing at business that are gaining momentum precisely due to the complementarity nature of our conglomerate. Costs remain under control. And this involves ongoing efficiency efforts where we optimize operations while continuing to invest in what builds the future, meaning people and technology. Delinquency remained high during the quarter, particularly driven by the agricultural segment. Expected credit loss provisions saw a slight decrease in the quarter, representing our main drag on earnings. We've been actively implementing measures to improve credit delinquency management. And I will talk about these in more details below. CET1 remained strong, standing at 11.27% in June. Credit remains the biggest revenue driver. And when I talk about work, I am talking about a more resilient mix with better collateral and an improved collection process. The expanded loan portfolio was BRL 1.3 trillion in June, an year-over-year increase of 1.5%. And this growth is guided by a clear focus on discipline and appropriate risk-return ratio and the implementation of our resilience framework. In personal loans, we are striving for an increasingly balanced and sustainable portfolio composition. Payroll loans and Credito do trabalhador workers loan showed significant growth. And here, I would like to highlight greater risk mitigation in private payroll loans -- the use of FGTS funds and as collateral and the automatic reengagement of customers who changed jobs, the feature expected to be operational at the end of August, which will help control delinquency in this segment. In the Corporate segment, I highlight transactions with own guaranteed funds, which grew 32% year-over-year, with a share of portfolio growing from 25% to 36%. In Agribusiness, we continue to focus loan origination backed by more robust collateral. 70% of all disbursements under the '25, '26 harvest plan have already been secured by fiduciary sales. BRL 90 billion of this portfolio is backed by this type of collateral. In addition, we restructured our collection process a few months ago, and we are already reaping significant benefits. We have returned to a more appropriate level of loss recovery, which reached nearly BRL 2 billion in the quarter, a 51.4% increase when compared to the first quarter of the year. And in 2026 alone, we're already taking the legal measures to recover BRL 15.5 billion, a figure that already exceeds the total amount we handled in 2025. As part of this process, we have begun repossessing more than 130 rural properties. Foreclosure remains a strategic and selective measure as we always seek negotiation and settlement through commercial channels. In the agribusiness sector, we remain very close to farmers. And at the same time, we are engaging an increasingly sophisticated loan origination. And this proximity goes back a long way. We have nearly 600,000 farmer clients who have taken loans with us for more than 80% have been with us for over 10 years. We financed more than 200 crops, and we are present in 93% of the Brazilian municipalities. This extensive reach, combined with our in-depth knowledge of the sector in each client is a key advantage that will help us navigate through the cycle. And looking forward, we are announcing the 2027 harvest plan worth up to BRL 210 billion with the same commitment and proximity to those who are dedicated to Brazil's growth. On July 15, Provisional Measure 1,376 was published, introducing credit lines to renegotiate agricultural loans from farmers who incurred losses due to weather events or misses across 2 or more harvests between 2019 and 2025. Our potential portfolio eligible under the provisional measure totals up to BRL 100 billion, involving up to 113,000 customers, including both delinquent borrowers and those with performing loans that have been extended or renegotiated. The Midwest accounts for the largest share with 40% of the potential volume, followed by the Southeast with 24%. Corporate agriculture accounts for 2/3 of the loans for now, for about 30% and PRONAF program for the remainder. In terms of crops, the focus is primarily on soybean, corn and livestock. It's important to make it clear that loan approvals depend on the submission of appraisal reports and we follow our credit policy. Let's begin with delinquent loans and then move on to us. Our teams are engaged in a major campaign and new loans will become available as soon as the equalization ordinance is published, which is expected to occur in the coming days. With this initiative, we expect to return to on-time payment rates in the range of 90% in the coming months, thereby supporting the convergence of the cost of risk towards the guidance range. One of the most important strategies for BB is the enhancement of our high-value customer service model. This initiative drives diversification of revenue sources and increased business volume, supported by prehensive portfolio, high value-added services and a highly specialized team. To date, 12% of our branch employees focus on high-value customers. The loan portfolio for this segment grew by 4%. Assets under management, meanwhile, grew by 12% in the segment where relationship and trust are key differentiators. Altus Liv cardholders increased their spending by 15%. And card revenue from this segment grew at twice the rate seen in other segments. We are optimizing this network with a 22% expansion of steel -- we invested in our branches this quarter, bringing the bank closer to those seeking specialized advice and sophisticated investment solutions. We aim to increase our high-value customer base by 25% by 2030. By June, we have already reached 1/5 of this target with a 4.3% increase. We had already been warning about the strain on household income and the impact of a high Selic rate, especially for those with lower financial resilience. We acted in line with this assessment. In total, we renegotiated BRL 31 billion in debt renegotiation. In the Novo Desenrola loan, we exceeded BRL 12 billion, notably serving more than 440,000 individuals and 40,000 businesses. But more than just renegotiating debt, we helped people get back on their feet through financial education and awareness. At the same time, we continue to take advantage of new opportunities with diversification and risk mitigation. A good example is the urban mobility operations through BB, more Brazil, we've already reached BRL 1.4 billion in new hires, representing a 40% increase over the June ballast of the auto portfolio originated by the bank. We've served nearly 13,000 drivers in more than 100 municipalities contributing to fleet renewal with above sustainability. And in line with our digital strategy, we partnered with Uber to offer cashback to drivers who finance their vehicles to us based on their consistent on-time payments. We are a bank that never stops transforming itself. And I want to start with always -- with what -- people. Every significant change at Banco do Brazil starts with our people, the true agents of this transformation. BB is highest through competitive exams. And that's why we invest so much in the helm of paying the best talents. That's why we continuously train our teams, preparing them for an organization that is increasingly tech-driven, dynamic and agent based. Artificial intelligence is central to our business transformation agenda. This requires leadership and commitment. It's not about doing more with technology, but rather about using technology to unlock people's potential. It doesn't reduce human presence. It fosters even greater closeness. This half year alone, we expanded our base of analytical AI models by 28% and bringing the total to over 2,300. But the statistic I'm most proud of, it isn't about machines. It's about people. It's our own employees who create the bank's AI engines. This half year, the number of agents they developed tripled, reaching nearly 15,000. When people and technology come together, the results are clear. AI in loan renegotiation generated 6x more conversions. And we've already freed up nearly 1.5 million hours of work. In our digital expansion, we've achieve nearly 70% of the progress projected for 2026 in agile channels and environments. And this closely translates into customer experience. 34% of our network already provides specialized service, 100% of customers have access to human digital assistance on the BB app. We now have 35 million active customers on digital channels and 47% of them are heavy users. It's from this closeness that the best business opportunities arise, and it is this closeness that it will always set Banco do Brazil apart. The integration of physical and digital channels embodies our channel strategy. We are taking another important step with the launch of the 5.0 app, which we discussed at our BB Day and we'll launch at February 1 pack in a few weeks. It was designed based on listening to our customers to make the digital experience simpler, more modern and more effective. We are launching a truly customizable app. The experience will adapt to each customer and each one will have the freedom to organize and customize the app in a way that makes more sense for their daily lives. And I would like to highlight the brand new BB section, which has a social media feel like and creates a familiar environment for users using the same intuitive format as the apps they use every day. Among the key advances, I would like to highlight the embedded artificial intelligence, conversational journey supported by an integrated assistant and performance improvements. When we talked about the strength of Banco do Brasil, we're talking about a conglomerate that goes far beyond banking. At BB Day, we showcased our galaxy. It comprises more than 80 companies, which expand our ability to serve customers. The companies in the conglomerate contribute on average 52% of our earnings. It is a distribution strength of our branches that give scale to our company's businesses. And this presence expands beyond Brazil's borders. We operate in 80 countries, expanding the reach of our operations and connecting our customers to different markets and opportunities. The United States, BB Americas already has a real estate loan portfolio or a mortgage portfolio of over $2 billion. In the first 6 months of 2026, new account openings grew by 3.5%. We are also present in Japan with nearly 100,000 visits. And this serves as our hub for operations in Asia. In Europe, we are making headway in our business. In April, we launched BB Portugal's digital account. Since then, the number of accounts has grown by 12%, 51% of investment transactions are now conducted digitally. All of that demonstrates BB's ability to combine a broad network or specialized business lines and international reach to get closer and closer to our customers. I will conclude by returning to what really matters at bank with Banco do Brasil -- doesn't survive for 270 years by chance. It endures and in times of need, it knows how to return to its basics, a skilled workforce, responsible decision making and hard work. And that's why today's Banco do Brasil is more resilient, more disciplined, more digital and better prepared to seize opportunities ahead because cycles come and go. Fundamentals remain, and it is with this compass that we move forward. Thank you very much.

[Operator Instructions] We will now start our Q&A session. The questions can be raised in Portuguese and English. I will ask analysts to ask only one question. [Operator Instructions] I would like to invite Eric ito from Bradesco.

Unknown Analyst analyst
#4

With regards to provisions, I understand that a good part of our expectation of improvements, and I believe there will be an improvement until the end of the year. And this is explained by the improvement in agri business. But I see that there was already an indicator a bit contaminated by agri business and also with a greater availability. We also see a delay in individual loans. So if you could maybe talk about PDD until the end of the year and how much you have that will improve the agro and also you have also individual loans on a credit card double pressure. If you could maybe help us understand and give a better view of what is happening. This would help us a lot. .

Tarciana Gomes Medeiros executive

Good morning, Eric. Thank you for your question and your presence. It's a pleasure to see you here with us. This dynamic, we hope that there will be a relevant improvement in the agri portfolio due to the Ordinance -- 1,376 Ordinance. So we have now available for our clients a tool that will promote this renegotiation, and we will improve the conditions for clients in general, and this will bring an impact in our individual relationship with our rural producers. So these are renegotiations that we will prioritize operations with better in turn. We will also link this to -- and transforming also our mortgages through a lien and also a full analysis, which will bring about an implement of our LLD and the segment of individual loans. So the trade-off when you look into this. When you look into an eligible portfolio, the renegotiating BRL 136 billion, and the impacts that will comply with the relationship with our personal loans, this will allow us to converge for the second half of the year within the guidance interval. And we will cover some additional need we might have with regards to our individual loans portfolio. We had already forecasted this worsening in the performance of this portfolio. We had, as we said, as said in the last quarter, we have a component of expected losses that we had anticipated already at this moment and now, what we need to deliver is this the final effort of improving the environment in the agro business portfolio which will bring along this reflection into our individual or personal portfolio. So all these moving parts, which come for agro business is above the eventual needs of provisioning that we'll have to do in our other portfolios, which will certainly channel our guidance or the performance of our LLD in the guidance interval.

Our next question is from Daniel Vaz from Safra.

Daniel Vaz analyst
#7

Maybe a follow-up to Eric's question. In the Ordinance 1,376. Considering the size of the portfolio, we wish to fit within these ordinance. You mentioned the program, we could maybe say that Banco do Brasil could have 50% of this program, it makes sense when we consider the size of the pool within the bank. But I would like to hear from you, what is the size that you expect within this program? And maybe a second part of our question would be if this will be enough for you to solve any issues. And if there is any chance of having initial capital because we see all the other banks in parallel if you have maybe an increase in equity with the movement of an insurance company that they were able to have tangible assets. And this has allowed them to recover the common equity. And maybe in 2027, this could enter into an environment where we see many economists talking about a possible recession. We have also worsening in the consumption. So we have to -- but try to understand if only through this ordinance, you would be able to say, well, I don't have a capital issue here. I don't have an equity issue here because we see that there was a deterioration of portfolios in the personal portfolios. But I want to know if this ordinance is enough considering the size of the possible issue in the future.

Tarciana Gomes Medeiros executive
#8

Well, Daniel, thank you. I would start here, but it's a very broad question. And this is the management for the bank in general. And maybe this is under our responsibility. So now specifically considering for this specific ordinance 1,376. And considering the transparency, we all always have with the market. We brought -- potential public. This is exactly the public that we will perform in this ordinance. Well, I believe is actually broader than the one that we will focus on. But our idea here is to bring you a greater transparency. So what we brought to you is what would be the possible size of within the Agro portfolio, which is eligible in this process that is already very well designed in terms of prioritization. And Bittencourt might also add to what I have to say to attack this specific audience. So this would be the first point. But we do not expect only an improvement in this environment -- in this agro business environment because of the ordinance, it will be natural that if the so-called safra plan or the crop plan and the uncertainties that were surrounding this issue of renegotiation that we would revisit the rates of timely payments in around 20%. So this whole set of measures that we have considered and we have worked and tested all our hypotheses and also forecasted in our performance expectation, we believe that this is what we will execute according with the specific LLD guidance within the proposed interval. And I will pass the floor to Bittencourt. With regards to the issue regarding our specific clients and what is our expectation within the program, and then we will close maybe with the whole idea of our equity.

Gilson Bittencourt executive
#9

Daniel. I will start with what was read by Prince. This ordinance will limit a certain public. And this will also help us in the support of payment for those who do not comply or not potential. Of this BRL 100 billion, we included all the 13 or 14, many of these producers have contracts that go beyond to the limits that are included in that ordinance. So they could be included in the negotiation in the 1,376, but not all this value of BRL 100 billion will be included within this controlled rate. Part of it would be a delayed of free rates. Within the public that we do understand that will be potentially within the ordinance, it come to the bags, -- of course, not all producers are under this process or had losses or will be able to prove their loan losses. Not all the producers, which delay within their timely payments will come searching for renegotiation. Many of these contracts already have controlled rates. So this is why our initial focus will be mainly on the default or delaying payment producer. We have maybe 36 default payments, and this will be our main focus, followed by those who have delayed payments with 3 rates that will therefore fit within the percentage of losses and the credit limits established. So this will be the centric public we wish to go for. All of them will be included. No, our implication is within controlled rates where with something of around BRL 30 billion, which already brings about a significant impact with regards to the default operations in the back.

Unknown Executive executive
#10

If I could add to this, maybe talk about the default and capital growth, we are -- have an adjusted equity, as we said. And for 2027, you see that some -- you said that some accounts are considering with the recession, but we consider, of course, with slower growth but not a recession. But we also have to take into consideration, we are beginning a process of reduction of our interest rates. We already have reductions, and we're expecting yet another cut, many economists who are thinking about 13.75%. And this whole phenomenon we are witnessing happening exactly in the worsening for personal loans. Part of it is contaminated by the rural loans and ordinance 1,376 will allow us to reduce the impact on our financials flows for the producers through this ordinance, but there was also a very specific issue, especially with the PFD PFE clients. And therefore, we held back, we had a new program of installments, automatical installment of these bills, of these payments but we closed the slide because we saw there was an excess leveraging. And the environment is now a bit more restrictive. So we are very conservative, so to speak. We are making the necessary adjustments. And we have the lowest unemployment rate in the history of Brazil. So we believe that this is a matter of time for these default being reduced in time. And we also have government programs which also supported us to improve financial situation of personal loans. Many of these individuals were leveraged and others that had to do with the -- unfortunately, the bets or the online betting systems. So we believe that to 2027, since we are focusing our growth on the payroll loans and private loans, we believe that we will bring things back to the portfolio performance and to the levels we had before. So you see that this is something very focused and the adjustments we made with adjusted risk for this portfolio. And considering the other indicators, we continue with our results working very well. Our results are very positive. We have a growing margin. We have had also some -- we have been very careful with our credit mix. And also our fee income has been growing also. And we maintained our forecast of our guidance with operational efficiency. We have the best efficiency rates in the market, and we continue to support the syndicator. And as we already said, we reduced our losses and we have been working in the sense and I get everything at a day will in a more structured manner contribute to our common equity. Okay, Daniel. So at the end, First of all, we have a strategy of individuals, and we were always very clear saying that we want to leverage the portfolio to boost profitability. It came, but the risks were higher, but there is no problem because we are making the necessary adjustments to channel that in more secured lines while preserving profitability. I mean risk-adjusted profitability. SMEs, we are leader again in the process in terms of settlement guaranteed funds. We were engaged in the derisking movements, as we mentioned to you before, but this quarter, we resume our leadership position in terms of credit lines earmarked to small and midsized companies. So this is work in progress. Obviously, with our LLP level, this impacts our capital, certainly. But when we look at the longer term, demand at NIM is making all the necessary measures to preserve the sustainability of the capital so that the capital is enough to support our activity, support the growth that we want to deliver. Therefore, we are making adjustments to our portfolio. We are channeling the loan loss provision numbers into the guidance. And at the same time, we will then generate more capital organically that can then be the process. I mean, we are also taking inorganic measures. You saw that we revisited our hybrid instrument. We were supposed to return BRL 1 billion in life. We renegotiated, we returned BRL 100 million. The schedule is expanded with one big installment at the end of '25. And if we will certainly take other measures. But for the coming years, we have this very well designed curve with all the measures in place to help us maintain a very robust and sustainable capital margin so much so we can extract more business out of the organization.

Our next question comes from Renato Meloni with Autonomous.

Renato Meloni analyst
#12

I would like to continue that conversation on common equity, your organic generation capacity is limited. So I would just like to understand what time line you anticipate a recovery even though you have enough committee, it does not accommodate a deterioration of the scenario. So among all of the other inorganic initiatives to generate capital, but looking at like dividend reduction, divestments or anything else that is on the table right now.

Unknown Executive executive
#13

Renato, please explain to me why you say that is not accommodating because in our estimates, we will continue to be in the range of 11% CET1. So what are you saying that my capital generation is not -- does not accommodate that. I know that we are -- we can buy the volume of provisions, but we are -- we have some organic capital gain. We are still at the level of minimum payout by law. I just want to understand your concern when -- where do you see the problem.

Renato Meloni analyst
#14

Okay. According to my estimates, I believe that the bank will reach the guidance this year, assuming an improvement next year. I mean the CET1 might not change that much. I've heard comments from peers and from other economists that say that there is a chance of further deterioration of the economy next year, and so this will lead to higher NPLs. And because you need, I mean, a continuous improvement so that you'll see Tier 1 will remain at the current level. If this does not occur, capital may go down, common equity should go down. And in terms of agribusiness, some people are also referring to the El Nino risks throughout the rest of the year, and this could be another relevant factor.

Unknown Executive executive
#15

Well, thank you for giving me a better context. In our base scenario, our view is slightly different. As I said before, we are assuming a 1% GDP growth next year. And then about the El Nino issue, I think Jose can give you more details about that. But in our view, we will continue to deliver organic growth with improvements as 1,376 provisional measures allows us to reduce the average risk of that portfolio. I mean everybody knows that what is in fact hurting the CET is the agribusiness portfolio. And -- but at the same time, we are tractioning other businesses from our conglomerate to help cushion that if you -- I mean, considering that in provisions, we had BRL 37 billion. And at the same time, we are giving back BRL 7 billion in profits. I mean, I know we should be able we wanted to deliver more to our investors. I mean, ROE is still low, but I believe that we will go through this meteor that has hit us. But it's part of our structure to generate results. But eventually, if we encounter a more pessimistic scenario because of El Nino or because of the worsening in the Brazilian economy, increasing unemployment. And so this would be a more negative outlook starting in 2027. And I would like to remind you that Banco do Brasil has a very bold asset structure that allows us to see where we can get further improvements, be it through RWA improvements or generating results that can probably create -- add more inorganic growth to support our capital structure and preserve our capital structure. It's important also to say that we are now concluding all of the processes related to the adjustment to this new measure. Part of this capital was used to comply with prudential adjustments. I mean it's the regulating body demanding from the bank. So it takes some time for us to get everything in place. If it were not for the agribusiness portfolio, maybe we would be in a totally different situation, but everything is according to plan, and we know what variables to move to improve that CET1 going forward. But for 2027, this is not the reading we have. We are not anticipating any capital constraint going forward towards 2027.

Our next question is from Bernardo Guttmann with XP.

Bernardo Guttmann analyst
#17

My question is about private payroll loans and also individuals guidance. I mean the individual portfolio was up about 4% in the last 12 months when vis-a-vis the guidance that was in the range of 6% to 10%. And private payroll loan which was an important driver picked up and expanded in the quarter. And at the same time, delinquency in that same line was up. Was there any adjustment in terms of your risk appetite for this portfolio? And what sustains the maintenance of the individuals portfolio guidance with this new level.

Unknown Executive executive
#18

In the case of private payroll loans, we grew and was a very positive opportunity for the bank because we have extended experience in public payroll loans. And throughout the year, we are developing a -- there are many new measures that will certainly contribute to the reduction of this NPL. And once the NPL is down, we will be able to grow again. And I would say that the 2 main elements are now being deployed. One was just introduced now and allowing us to link FGTS as a collateral, and it started in June. With that, we will be able to have a more effective guarantees, especially in cases where there are some firings or dismissals. And then in that case, the borrower will cease to pay both in terms of regular contributions to FGTS and also related to job termination penalties. And maybe one of the most important measure is the possibility to move that to the new job, meaning portability, this delinquency in most cases, it's not due to the fact that the employee lost the job and it is still unemployed. I mean unemployment is low, but the turnover is very high. So when an individual lose, the old job, it moves to the new job. The debt is not carried over. There is some time until that happens. It takes some time. So starting at the end of this month, the process will be automatic. So let's say, I leave my job because I was either fired or I chose to leave. The discount will be calculated within the margin. And then the new loan will be debited to the new account. And with this restructuring, we will be able to get things at an acceptable level, considering that turnover. And then we will be able to deliver up to the guidance while at the same time, we will grow in this portfolio that, in our view, it's very positive to the bank. And if you allow me to add something else, we grew over 127% in that line, starting from scratch. Now we are #2. Number 1 is Itau. We have BRL 15 million in our banks. So growth rates is just naturally come down. But as we said our focus will still remain payroll loans, both public and private. And what Gilson said relates pretty much to the data privacy system that is currently being adjusted. And there was -- in delinquency. I mean, sometimes, the borrower cannot afford to pay for the installments. But in this case, the situation is different because once the payroll loan migrates to the new employer, so the payments will be resumed normally. And there are also other credit lines like mortgage secured loans, mortgage secured loans will be our focus in the second half of the year. Also, auto finance. As I said, we grew almost 50% in terms of our disbursement in our portfolio in July alone with the new lines of BB muove. And so I think this process will continue for another 60 days. So the auto portfolio may even reach twice the volume we had in the past. So these are all new opportunities that allow us to be more confident that we will deliver to expectations in terms of individual loans. So more secured lines and less risky lines. And this corroborates to the improvement in that portfolio.

We have to Tito Labarta from Goldman Sachs.

Daer Labarta analyst
#20

Following up a bit on, I guess, provision levels and the potential recovery because you can see a scenario where you reached the top end of the provision guidance with modestly lower provisions in the second half of the year. But a couple of questions on that. And thanks for disclosing the santola renegotiation. Was there any benefit on the provisions this quarter from this enroll? Was there any offset to get to the bottom line on that? And then thinking about the recovery into next year, can provisions continue to decline in 2027, just given some of the concerns on the macro level, right, individual NPLs going up, I expect certainly some recovery from where you are today. But just to think about 2027 is also going to be a challenging year, at least from a macro perspective. And we think ROE, we're running in the high single digits. Any visibility on how quickly that can improve given some of the concerns about macro for 2027?

Unknown Executive executive
#21

Thanks for the question, Tito. I think the biggest challenge we have for this year is effectively around the provisional measure 1,376. It will depend on how many clients join this restructuring program. And this is our biggest challenge, and we will look forward on achieving the volumes we want to restructure. And once we achieve that, we believe that 427 on we will be able to account a lower cost of risk. We know that at op risk is above 5% is on average due to this increasing default in the ag book. So as long as we focus on growing less riskier loans in the individuals book, we are able to restructure the rural portfolio under this provisional measure. And we will seek 427 on to reduce the cost of risk below the 5-ish level, we would be aiming at a 3.5% average cost of risk for the full portfolio. On average, our peers, they are working on that level of cost of risk, but this is something that it will depend on how '27 unfolds, okay? But basically, that's what is in our mind regarding reducing the risk of the whole outflow.

Daer Labarta analyst
#22

Just can I ask just one quick follow-up on that. Would that come with a lower coverage ratio because that's been one of the concerns, right? We've seen coverage come down a little bit. Do you need to consume a little bit more coverage to get to those levels? Or do you think coverage can increase next year?

Unknown Executive executive
#23

No, we don't work with the assumption of reducing coverage ratio. We will try to balance that in order to guarantee a sound coverage for the real loan book. Ultimately, we believe that as long as we perform well on restructuring the program under this provisional measure, okay, we will be able bring a normal performance for the whole loan book. And this will become clear by the end of this year, okay?

Daer Labarta analyst
#24

I'm sorry, just the Central Bank impact, any color on that? .

Unknown Executive executive
#25

Sorry? I couldn't.

Unknown Executive executive
#26

In terms of impact on provisions, Tito, it's not material, neither in delinquency as well.

Unknown Executive executive
#27

It's a nice program, Tito, for our clients and the development of our individual loans portfolio. But in terms of provision, there's no impact.

Our next question comes from Gustavo Schroden from Citibank.

Gustavo Schroden analyst
#29

I have 2 follow-ups. First, to help us understand how the provisional measure will help us effectively deal with the LLP for the second quarter since you seem to be very confident. We have maybe BRL 100 billion in terms of addressable amount as you have presented. And Gilson also stated that of this BRL 100 billion, around BRL 30 billion, if I understood correctly, it will be renegotiated. So how can we consider the whole mechanics of this BRL 30 billion going through the bottom line and the earnings and reducing our LLP for the second quarter, is it will be a reversions? Is it a reduction of credit indicators that the bank would not need to do in terms of the provision that it is currently doing. So this is important because we could have a better understanding in order to maintain the confidence in the guidance. I guess we have -- we're talking about big figures here, and it will be maybe worthwhile go into detail. Another issue that I would like more explanation. We have had many questions in terms of increase of the NPLs for credit cards. We had an NPL of 90 days of 7.1% to 14.6% for the quarter. So that's a large increase. And I do understand that a part of this is related to the rural loans. So could you maybe give me a breakdown of this increase. How much is it worsening, mass worsening that you actually refer to? And how much is related to rurals. And if in this recovery plan, through the provisional measure 1,376, if the rural part that is included in the credit card will be included in the renegotiation efforts.

So this is a very broad question, Gustavo. Reversion will happen in 2 ways. First is with an expectation of reducing the NPLs that we will be able to see in this next 6 months, we presented in the results for the first quarter month by month in 2026, we will increase the numbers of financings that are due that were already hired under the new resilience matrix. So we still have a high percentage that is already contracted. However, you can see in June, we had 31% on the -- under the new resilience matrix. In August, we have 35%. And this number will reach 57% until December. So our first expectation is that under this new matrix, we will already have a reduction of our NPLs or the normal NPLs of our operations. Second, the fact that we have this NPL or provisional measure to see what will be included or not. We already make it clearer for the whole set of farmers, what are those that could be included in the renegotiation and which are not included and which ones they will have to pay, the provisional measure will not include any type of resource of the individual loans. But what is the logic, let's say, a farmer who is owing a rural credit and also in the credit card, if they are able to regularize the payments, we will also try to renegotiate the damage on the card because they cannot remain delinquent because they will not have access to new operations and they will not be able to participate in the safra brand or on the crop plant. So one thing will entail the others. As I said before, we are beginning a contact, a contact even before we started operations, which we hope the ordinance to actually happen between today and tomorrow regarding this provisional measure, at least this is our expectation as soon or even before we start operating, we are already getting in touch more than 31,000 clients that could comply or be eligible for the E&P. And a great part of these are the delinquents. So as I bring these delinquent clients, especially the short-term delinquency and also the delinquency that happened since the beginning of last year, which has been impacting our balance sheet, our results, I believe that through this, I will be able to revert a good part of this, not everything because the operation is ongoing, and we will have to be able to do some reversion, and we will continue with a collateral or maybe some type of down payments. So I can show to the regulatory agency operation by operation that, that client does wish to stop that operation or become do. So this reversion will not be total, but it will support among the BRL 31 billion, of which BRL 6 billion we have in terms of NPLs as a good part of this is regularized, we will be able to revert part of the provisions. So these are different actions taking place at the same time. I would like to reinforce one case here, Gustavo. With regards to agri business, or the agro sector. When we look at the last maybe 3 to 4 crops, we see an increase in production and we see an increase in productivity. So this is something that you cannot have an increase in productivity and area -- planted area if you do not use inputs and to have inputs, you need resources. So even though we have all these difficulties in the NPL, our agro business is resilient. If we look at the other articles, we can see how much the agro sector has capitalized, especially good -- what we have. And this is something we have been saying since 1,314 provisional measure is a lack of liquidity because part of that capital was -- the producer had -- the farmer had to have a greater -- seek greater financing at a higher interest. And we're talking about the whole set of farmers. It's not that they are lacking capital, they don't have liquidity. And our expectation is that, first, with 1,314 provisional measure, even though there was a deadline, there were free interest rates. But now with the 1,376, we have a lower rate. We're talking about rates of PRONAF that will go from 5% to 12% for the major producers or major farmers. So we are able to have an improvement in our horizon in terms of the payment ability, not only with regards to time, maybe 8 to 10 years, but also the cost of the resources. So through this, we hope that these producers at least some ones that wish to renegotiate and to have access to credit and continue and produce not only with Banco do Brazil with the whole set of financial institutions, we'll try to regularize their situation, and we will continue with this perspective -- this growth effect in production areas. And Brazil, of course, is the potential has been showing its capacity. We will have maybe focused issues, yes, that might happen but our patient -- in the agro business, considering the whole cycle is a recovery. Some will recover faster, some will recover a little bit slower. However, we do believe that this business, the rural areas will continue with the portfolio with better collaterals, better guarantees, but growing and advancing in this chain. And this is essential for our GDP. And adding to what to this to help you model what is happening. First, our execution capacity. I guess 1,314, it's not even 1 year old. It shows the whole ability of execution that Banco do Brasil has in order to present all these renegotiations and to put them into practice. Second, our strategy, our strategy is set in such a manner that we will improve our credit capacity for the producers, so there will be down payments. These will be operations that will have a reinforcement of moral -- so that we are able to migrate from the different stages of the loan. And this is when we see the positive effects coming into play. We see a reversion in provisions, we will be able to accrue these operations. And for most of these operations, we are not accruing for them. So I will renegotiate with a lower rate. And I also have the accrual today, I am not able to perceive in my profitability in my earnings. This will create a positive effect that will be part of our LLP converging into guidance and consequently in our earnings. And at the end of the day, and this is the topic that we certainly discussed with you with market in general, and I've seen all the reports that you have discussed from yesterday to today. in our common equity. We know that today, we have less DTA and therefore, I will have a smaller consumption of our equity. To give you an idea, to every BRL 1 billion renegotiated, we have an expectation. It will be something around BRL 150 million and BRL 200 million through our final results, our bottom line.

Gustavo Schroden analyst
#31

So this is considering both our NII in terms of the accrued, but also reduction of our credit costs.

Unknown Executive executive

Yes. Yes, correct. This is the global content -- that we might help you reach these figures in detail.

Now I would like to invite Yuri Fernandes with JPMorgan.

Yuri Fernandes analyst
#34

Sorry to go back to that question. But my understanding is that if you have a default payment or if you get further guarantees, maybe we could see some provision reversal. Basically, that was my question. I used to understand that you needed payment not only of the guarantee or the collateral, but that could also help. And my other question is about capital. When we look at common equity. And Geovanne mentioned that in the podcast, there was something coming from Previ. Could you explain to me why this happened just now or whether we should see any impact coming to shareholders' equity.

Unknown Executive executive
#35

Can you explain the topic on the reversal? And then I will do the rest. Okay. Yes. renegotiations, the strategy is in place. It's not already out, but it will start with the down payment and this complies with 4,966 and I understand that this is proprietary. And in addition to that, we also add additional collaterals. So it's a combination of all that, that may generate the migration to other stages. And as a consequence, the reversion of -- the reversion of provisions with the additional fact that I can also go back to accruing the interest. Yuri, as a reminder, when we had the 1,314, we were mainly referring to transactions and operations that were delinquent. So the LLP dynamics is a bit different that Prince just mentioned. Today, we are focusing only on those delinquent transactions. Most of them find themselves on Stage 3. But both the big collateral and then the down payment improves that farmers' risk profile and also expected losses. There are improvements in many fronts. And all of that, dialogues with this potential time reversal just to give you a new perspective. And now I turn it over to Geovanne to talk about capital and the effect of the rate.

Marco Geovanne da Silva executive
#36

In fact, Yuri, you all know that we have other post job benefits that we have to recognize in our balance sheet and drew some expectations. And when you talk about pension funds and health care plans, we have assets that can back up these plans. And in the more specific case of casi, casi is our health care plan. This health care program does not have guarantee assets. And the reason for the adjustment was a one-off thing. And why do I say that? Because historically, the bank had been conducting all the calculations and bringing into present value discounting at a rate where we came up with a basket of currencies given the long duration of that liability. And all of that had been duly calculated and also agreed with the Central Bank, the regulating body. This has been done some time ago. But now under this new management, the Central Bank has a different understanding. The Central Bank believes that we should discount everything based on NTNB from 5 years ago. So there was a whole new conversation in technical studies back and forth, and we try to explain. And we even for the delayed implementation of that discount rate, starting in January of next year, given the current moment when we are trying to recover from agribusiness losses. But you know we have to comply with the regulator just as I mentioned during our podcast. So their view is that we shouldn't do it now. And so that's what we did. And therefore, the 18 percentage points that was down from our BIS ratio is part of that conversation that started about 2 years ago, and then if you go to the explanatory note, #28. You will see that our discount rate was around 9 -- million point something now, it's at 8.5% for all of our post job benefits. And for those that have guaranteed assets, we do that reconciliation. And then when we calculate capital or the common equity on note #30, we make the adjustment. Basically, the adjustment you mentioned stems from our health care program that doesn't have that backing asset. Did I answer your question?

Yuri Fernandes analyst
#37

Yes, that was very clear, Geovanne.

Our next question is from Eduardo Nishio with Jenio.

Eduardo Nishio analyst
#39

I just have another follow-up on 2 points that were previously mentioned, but I just want some more color. First, credit card delinquency, which almost doubled. There was an improvement trend, but it went from 7% to 14.6% in this last quarter. Could you please explain what happened? How come that increase was so steep and whether it's concentrated in some specific profile. You talked about bandwidth business and its profile. But I think -- you didn't specify during your comments. Also, if you can give me some more light about the trajectory of the NPL, whether the peak has been reached in the second quarter or whether you still see any working of that portfolio. And my other follow-up is about El Nino. You just mentioned it, but you didn't elaborate further in terms of what are your projections for EL Nino? According to experts, they are saying that the impact will be stronger in 2027. So I just want to know whether you're expecting a heavier impact for next year in 2027. And whether in your credit models, you already embedded that in the credit guidance if you already included your expectations for the agribusiness sector.

Unknown Executive executive
#40

Nishio, in fact, I will talk about credit cards and then my colleagues can talk about El Nino. We've been telling you about the contamination of credit cards, especially in the individuals portfolio, especially coming from farmers. But what really caused that spike is that we were pension to household debt increase. But there was also some one-off event in our case. Our strategy to face this lack of value in rural side should be individuals portfolio. Our focus has been on payroll loans, but we also adopted off also other strategies for the credit card segment in the high-end segments, which would be the Altus Liv where we increased billing BRL 127 million. But there was also a very one-off effect for D&E income bracket climates. And we also included automatic installment payments for these statements. In inverse quarter, we noted that clients were engaging in automatic installment payments. So we -- there was a lag for this segment D&E of the population. So then we took -- say now in order to pay installments, you have to come up with a down payment. And therefore, we had to make adjustments in customers that in January, February and March engaged in automatic installment payments without any down payment. And so risk was aggravated in those cases. And so we put them in our NPL portfolio. Basically, this is the effect. It's a very one-off effect. I mean this is certainly delinquency because if they were just paying installments without paying, they were not paying, they were delinquent. Therefore, we want to go back to what we had before. So we are no longer allowing them to pay installments automatically, so they have to start paying a down payment first. I said, okay, this didn't work. We wanted a change in mix, focusing more on individuals. But in the credit card line in particular, we put a stop, especially for D&E income brackets of the population. But the main factor because of this automatic payment in July, we are already seeing some normalization in this line. So this is the explanation issue. Eduardo, yes, we are very concerned, and we are close to monitoring the effects of El Nino. We have 280 exits scattered throughout the country, analyzing real time what is happening in the field. And also drawing up expectations so that we can provide more structural loans. And we are including more insurance like proagro or regular insurance. I mean we look at drought tendencies especially we are now involved in irrigation programs. There are some government programs, Prohiga and other programs that contribute. And also no till planting that reduces losses when there is a flood. But one important aspect of El Nino, when we look at the track record of the last 20 years, whenever we had El Nino, the effective loss in yield in the country was not very large. I mean it is big when we look at a particular region or when you look at a certain crop at a certain moment. But when you look at the entire agri business and livestock production. What losses you have in one region maybe is mitigated by bigger yields in other areas. We are closely monitoring that, but we have to continue funding the production because if we stop that, there will be an even greater impact in income generation. But certainly, I can tell you that we are being much more careful now, we are looking more at the ongoing trends for all of the different regions, and we have our experts monitoring that very closely so as to minimize the impact in our loans. We are not only the ones doing that because farmers are professionals, and they are also doing things to mitigate the effects of El Nino. In the Midwest region of Brazil, the forecast is that there will be water scarcity during the El Nino period and farmers are receiving advice from Embrapa, from the bank, and they are getting prepared to anticipate their planting season, anticipating harvest as well. When we look to the Northeast, I mean, with El Nino, they might suffer from aggravated drought and they may anticipate the off-season period. I mean the safrinha period, not only the bank is being prepared, anticipating and getting prepared to face possible issues, but farmers are also getting prepared. When we look at the south of the country, the problem is the opposite because they will have more rainfall. So that's the trend. We know that this has happened in the past. So the trend is for greater rainfall during this period. So these growers are also getting prepared, being very mindful of harvesting windows and also being very choosy in terms of what crops they will plant. Therefore, this involves preparation on both sides. And this is also a moment not only because of El Nino, but when we noticed that the margins of several of the business and livestock growers are different. So it's very crucial that growers work based on a lot of planning. They have to economically analyze what acreage has the lowest cost. Where should I invest more or less, where -- if I have lower margin, should I -- where should I plant this or that? And El Nino aggravates this responsibility to plant. If this year, I will have more rain or less rain. Should I plant the off-season crop or maybe a winter crop or how much I will plant, what are the mitigating factors that growers are looking at to reduce their risk. And Tarciana said it well, it's not just an exclusive action on the part of the funder, but this involves the entire chain that works in the agro business sector. And then we take all of these assumptions in issue, and we feed our credit engine. But in terms of 2026, this is already embedded in our LLP guidance. And for 2027, this is also part of our preparation process in terms of credit granting. And certainly, the impacts is part of our appetite. And with all of the projected impacts, we adjust the appetite to instigate this discipline in growers. And as a consequence, all of the allocated capital should return to us and then our loan loss provision will be lower for 2027. So everything is in place. I'm sure that 2026 is already contemplated in our guidance. 2027, it's already engaged in the concession model or the loan granting model, and this will help us make projections vis-a-vis the performance of the day-to-day operations. So for the '27, '28 season, we will look at loan loss provisions with a 3-year horizon.

Moving forward, Mario Pierry from Bank of America.

Mario Pierry analyst

I would like to focus on the net earnings, you maintained the guidance. So I know that in the last quarter, you had a downward revision, and maybe you didn't want to do that same review. But when we look at the quarter earnings, for first quarter, BRL 7.3 billion with a fiscal benefit of BRL 1.4 billion. It will be maybe difficult for us to reach the year's guidance. So I'd like to better understand what do you believe would be the adequate for the quarter? And also, what are you expecting for the third quarter if it also depends on the provisional measure of 1,376. But we're already halfway through August, and the execution hasn't even started. So what are the benefits for this provisional measure if they will be -- maybe have a greater importance for 2027. Therefore, your ability to deliver the guidance for this year maybe will be later in '27.

Unknown Executive executive
#43

Thank you very much for your question. This was a topic that we internally discussed and we do within our ability, especially if we consider how we -- as it said 1,314 provisional measure. We had, as an aim to renegotiate 12, and then we guided that maybe 20 would be ideal, and we restructured more than BRL 30 billion. Of course, the focus there was to recompose our equity because CPAs already -- that first plan was already ending, and we needed in some way to allow this endorsement or else, yes, we would be in the scenario that Meloni presented in terms of more critical equity situation. However, the whole issue is that I cannot say exactly what we will be able to execute because it, of course, depends on the adherence and compliance of our clients, that basically, the second quarter was more of a moral risk, the farmer, the producers were all waiting for the discussions that were happening within our Congress in terms of a new bill for restructuring. And these discussions were extended and the government is not to issue this provisional measure. We are just waiting for specifical or specific negotiations, and we believe that we will have maybe in August and September to expedite this process. We have, and we're now just waiting for the clients to adhere. So we decided we're first to see how we're going to execute the whole plan. If we do as well as we did for the 1,314 provisional measure, we already have this history, it wouldn't be necessary to make this adjustment now. As also said, we also have an important part of this portfolio that today stopped accruing interest, and we will go back to the margin. The Central will go back to our margin. This will have a beneficial effect of more earnings. Therefore, in terms of also rates and taxes, given the volume of -- we have the losses, and this is a point that we are already taking action to deal with and the rate will continue positive due to the scenario that we are living. But this guidance is more for the lower end effectively and the same way that the provision guidance is on the high margin, around 70%. This is how we are working, and we will do our best so as not to make the guidance adjustment. So this is something we will talk about when you think about results of the third quarter. But I remind you that this -- it's like a guidance. This is our compass. It's already our commitment in which we wish to reach. And this is important for us to also guide our network. And this is what we are working with and what we want to deliver to you. So that provision on the higher end, profit in the lower end. But there is a risk maybe essentially if we go above, yes, but in the worst-case scenario, the deviation may be 5%, 6%, is still early to make this assumption. But we will maintain this guidance, and we will do our best to deliver this. And Mario, also in terms of our dynamics, as you said. We are already halfway through August, but we might be able to feel the impact of these measures on the fourth quarter. The third quarter will also be subjected to this follow through, and we will see a greater reduction on the fourth quarter.

Now we will follow the next question is from Henry Navarro from Santander.

Henrique Navarro analyst
#45

I guess there are different typical points that my colleagues have already covered. So my question will be more on a conceptual basis if -- the second quarter, there was a worsening in different segments in terms of NPLs or delinquency. Even though this worsening has to do to the coverage index dropping. And we don't see changes in stages that are worsening. And I believe this is based on the Banco do Brasil's expectation that after the provisions that will be in for the second quarter will be smaller, that things will improve, that is. And much of this improvement is based on the provisional measure that will improve the receivables. So my question is as follows. If we analyze this provisional measure, it will not be considered as a subsequent event in the second quarter because it was published on June 15 and maybe 1 month later, it still hasn't actually had it. There is no yet tangible impact that we can truly consider as a structural improvement because of that provision. It's not there yet. And there are also worsening in other segments that are not related to agro and you explained the whole issue of contamination that Agro has contaminated the portfolios and that improvement in agro will also bring about a general improvement. But my question is, given what we see today, and according to a more conservative accounting idea, wouldn't be the correct thing to do to actually recognize, acknowledge this worsening and therefore, make a provision to consider this impact and having a positive impact in the future, everything, of course, is still conceptual but it might happen in a certain way, having this positive impact in the future maybe do a reversion of provision. So this is more a conceptual question in terms of an accounting principle of being conservative. And what was the decision that guided you not to do that, that we'll consider all the worsening we see in NPLs. So that's my question.

Unknown Executive executive
#46

Thank you. Well, a -- so I guess here, we have more of a timely manner that might be bringing you to that conclusion. There is no provision that was not done by the contrary. What we said is that for first quarter, we did have a specific case of a portfolio for outstanding companies, and we anticipated based on the expected losses that were already an indication of a worsening of our individual portfolio for the second quarter. So if we were to add the quarters, you will see that the new NPL is duly covered, including in the Agri business, we have a coverage that is above what we had in terms of the formation of the new NPL. The coverage exists exactly to give us the ability to deal with adverse moments such as the ones we are now dealing with without having the need of generating any type of volatility in our statements. So all the losses are duly acknowledged. The models are adequately calibrated and the reduction in the coverage of the new NPLs specifically in the individual portfolio already happened because I already acknowledged those. So we have a step forward and not backwards. So we have the results of the provisional measure is something that we are dealing within our guidance. This is within our perspective of modeling, depending on our performance and the performance is what we have already proven. If you look at 1,314, we had BRL 38 billion in negotiation in 4 months. Therefore, we have the ability of allocating these renegotiations in these 4, 3.5 months that remain in 2026. But in no way, this is applied in any kind of reversion or reversion or changes in our modeling. This is included in the perspective balance to be accounted for in terms of provision with an impact that will be exclusively on the guidance. There is no interference in our daily operations in terms of provisioning. And even less so, we did not revert anything as an expectation, a future expectation of having future earnings or results. What did happen is we identified proactively the worsening of this portfolio, and we did the adequate provisioning during the first quarter. And this is from this point forward, this is the way that you will see things happening, where we might see a change is what already referred to in the previous questions, which is the actual execution, realization of NP 1,376 according to the models that we are establishing where we will privilege payments, collaterals and the full resolution of the payment ability of the producers or farmers. And this is subject to an assessment process. So let's see this producer has card payment ability, and then I will do the allocation in the different stages and sequently, with an offset of a provision or not, I will go back to the accrual and results. This is a process that will be brief and we already have all the metrics ready to go. And from that, we will have the execution strategy as a result. So we wouldn't talk about subsequent events or anything of that sort because we did not acknowledge any type of benefit. We did not account for any kind of act before the egg is actually laid.

The question is now on the corporate portfolio. We saw some volume mostly concentrated in the government. The first part of the question is, how do you see the evolution of this corporate portfolio. And as part of that, we also have the release of the over 90 NPL, which was up a bit. But we don't know exactly what led to that, whether it was large corporate or SMEs. So I would like your help to understand how this SME portfolio is performing with and without the grace periods given by the government. And how do you expect that evolving further? And what about NPL revisions.

Unknown Executive executive
#48

Pedro, it is always a pleasure to talk to you. Thank you for the question. First, we don't see any deterioration in the large corporate segment. So this segment is performing well in the risk/return ratio. And in terms of increase in NPL is that we -- I mean, we saw some reduction in balance volume with large corporate. This comes from a process of maximizing risk-adjusted returns, meaning that we are channeling these large tickets to capital markets. generating fees, thus consuming less capital. This is part of our strategy. So what was different vis-a-vis our projections. We expected to see a stronger engine from the capital markets this half year and even in the third quarter, anticipating that a bit due to the election year, but as the media has already released, the market is perfectly low expectations. So risk is in place, and the result stems from this process of capital allocation and profitability. Delinquency or NPL in very small and small and midsized companies. We were already moving towards the process of accommodating risk. And we've been telling you about that since the beginning of 2025. What has changed? I mean we understood, I mean, and we also had adverse part of that portfolio, even in government lines. So we made a change in the profile. We had 30% of the portfolio backed by government lines. And now we have 40% of this portfolio secured by settlements guaranteed funds. So FGI and FGO in the second half of the year, we are now leaders in disbursements in both lines, FGI and FGO so that when conclude this accommodation process of the risk. So where do we see growth in delinquency. At the top of micro and small midsized companies in the low and middle. So companies that grows about BRL 50 million and BRL 200 million, they are struggling a lot because of the macro landscape and the level of in-court reorganization hit a record in the first half, and that's where most of this increase in delinquency in the corporate portfolio is found. When you compare first and second quarters, we are not expecting any additional surprises because now we see a process of monetary flexibilization or -- and we are working closely with these clients, offering liability management opportunities to allow us to ensure profitability while at the same time, we mitigate the risk, including that equation of adequate risk-adjusted returns. So large and corporate, constant management on a case-by-case basis, always respecting the best risk return equation in the middle segment, we are closely monitoring that to stabilize the risk, which is higher now, but I think the lower economic structure will help and small and various companies focuses on the government programs. And I would just like to add 1 more point. Let's have here, there was a resolution of a major wholesale client, and that's why from December to March, we noticed a steep reduction and there was like a 0 effect on expected losses but there was a balance between provisions and discount. And that's why the indicator was down less half year. But now we are seeing things in a more normal trend...

Thank you, Carlos. Basically, it was just the adjustment of the discount rate in order to bring -- using instead of 9.70 something we're now using 8.5%. And that's it.

And the impact is directly in the equity, okay? .

Unknown Executive executive
