Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K/A filing by Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bank Bradesco) covers the month of September 2009. The document serves as a "Calendar of Corporate Events - 2009," detailing the schedule for financial disclosures, shareholder meetings, and dividend payments. It does not contain a full set of financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2009, but rather outlines the timeline for their release and corporate governance activities.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity figures for the period ending September 30, 2009. The text explicitly states that the Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements for the third quarter of 2009 are scheduled for release on November 3, 2009. Consequently, no current financial performance metrics are available in this document.
However, the filing details specific dividend and interest payment metrics for the 2009 fiscal year:
- Monthly Dividends (Post-January 2009 Increase): Common Shares: R$0.013219250; Preferred Shares: R$0.014541175.
- Monthly Dividends (Pre-January 2009): Common Shares: R$0.012017500; Preferred Shares: R$0.013219250.
- Complementary Interest on Own Capital (2008): Total amount of R$1,842,000,000.00, with a per-share value of R$0.571482431 (Common) and R$0.628630674 (Preferred), paid on March 9, 2009.
Material Changes
The primary material change noted in the filing is the increase in monthly dividends. Effective for interest referring to February 2009 (paid March 2, 2009), the Board of Directors approved a 10% increase in monthly dividends. This adjustment raised the per-share payout for both common and preferred stockholders.
Additionally, the filing notes a historical adjustment from May 2008 where dividend amounts were adjusted per share due to a 50% bonus share issuance, ensuring shareholders received an equal total amount of dividends despite the change in share count.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Guidance: The filing contains no specific financial guidance, revenue forecasts, or management commentary regarding future economic performance. It strictly outlines the schedule for future disclosures, including the silence period prior to the third-quarter results (October 19 to November 2, 2009) and the subsequent disclosure date (November 3, 2009).
Risks and Contingencies: The document includes a standard "Forward-Looking Statements" disclaimer. It warns that statements regarding future operations, financial condition, liquidity, and dividend payments are based on current estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties. There is no guarantee that expected events or trends will occur, as actual results may differ materially due to changes in economic conditions, industry factors, or operating assumptions.
