a) Acquisition of a majority interest in Pacífico EPS
On November 01, 2024 Credicorp entered into an agreement to acquire the 50.0 percent interest from Empresas Banmédica (“Banmédica” hereafter) in the partnership and participation agreement entered into in December 2014 between Pacifico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros S.A. (“Pacifico Seguros”) and Banmédica.
Pursuant to this agreement, Banmédica agreed to transfer its 50.0 percent interest in the private health insurance business in Peru (Joint Venture Agreement) to Pacifico Seguros. In addition, Banmédica agreed to transfer its 50.0 percent interest in Pacifico S.A. Entidad Prestadora de Salud (“Pacifico EPS”), which manages the corporate employee health insurance and medical services businesses in Peru, to Credicorp's subsidiary, Grupo Crédito S.A.
As of March 13, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50.0 percent interest in Pacífico EPS (representing 24,627,219 shares) and 50.0 percent of the co-investment agreement with Banmédica. The consideration paid for the acquisition of the interest in Pacífico EPS amounted to S/950.9 million.
The business combination was recognized using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". A business combination achieved in stages requires the acquirer to remeasure its previously held equity interest at fair value at the acquisition date, with any resulting gain or loss recognized in profit or
loss. Accordingly, the Group remeasured its previously held interest in Pacífico EPS at fair value, recognizing a gain of S/235.5 million, see Note 25.

The fair value at the acquisition date and the carrying amount of trade receivables amount to S/271.2 million, which are included under “other assets”, and the full contractual amounts were collected.
From the date of acquisition, Pacífico EPS has contributed S/524.4 million of net operating income and S/153.4 million to net profit before tax from the continuing operations of the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, net operating income from continuing operations would have been S/611.4 million and the profit before tax from continuing operations for the period would have been S/190.3 million.
The goodwill recognized reflects the market position of the acquired business and the anticipated benefits associated with its continuing operations. It is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
