RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Bladex’s activities are comprised of two business segments, Commercial and Treasury. Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Business segment reporting is based on the Bank’s managerial accounting process, which assigns assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense items to each business segment on a systemic basis.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Commercial Business Segment encompasses the Bank’s core business of financial intermediation and fee generation activities developed to cater to corporations, financial institutions, and investors in Latin America. These activities include the origination of bilateral short-term and medium-term loans, structured and syndicated credits, loan commitments, and financial guarantee contracts such as issued and confirmed letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit, guarantees covering commercial risk, and other assets consisting of customers’ liabilities under acceptances.

The majority of the Bank’s core financial intermediation business, consisting of gross loans at amortized cost (or the “Loan Portfolio”), amounted to $7,350 million at the end of 1Q24, increasing 2% QoQ and 10% YoY. Additionally, contingencies and acceptances amounted to $1,340 million at the end of 1Q24, increasing 1% QoQ and 23% YoY, as new client onboarding and product cross-selling continued driving strong business volumes.

Consequently, the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio reached an all-time high of $8,690 million at the end of 1Q24, increasing 2% from $8,521 million in the prior quarter and increasing 12% from $7,778 million a year ago. In addition, the average Commercial Portfolio balance increased to $8,634 million in 1Q24 (+2% QoQ and +15% YoY).

4

As of March 31, 2024, 73% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year, a 4 pp increase compared to both the previous quarter and a year ago. Trade finance transactions accounted for 66% of the Bank’s short-term origination, unchanged from 66% in the previous quarter and up from 61% a year ago.

Weighted average lending rates stood at 8.54% in 1Q24, resulting in a 20 bps QoQ decrease as 4Q23 was positively impacted by some accrual accelerations. With respect to 1Q23, average lending rates increased by 108 bps YoY due to higher lending spreads and increased market-based interest rates.

5

Bladex’s maintains well-diversified exposures across countries and industries. As of March 31, 2024, 38% of the Commercial Portfolio was geographically distributed in investment grade countries, down 3 pp compared to 41% the preceding quarter and down 6 pp compared to 44% a year ago. Brazil at 12%, continues to represent the largest country-risk exposure, followed by Mexico and Colombia, at 11% each, Guatemala at 10%, and Dominican Republic and Peru, at 8% each, of the total Commercial Portfolio. Exposure to top-rated countries outside of Latin America, which relates to transactions carried out in the Region, represented 7% of the portfolio at the end of 1Q24.

Exposure to the Bank’s traditional client base comprising financial institutions represented 36% of the total, while sovereign and state-owned corporations accounted for another 18%. Exposure to corporates accounted for the reminder 46% of the Commercial Portfolio, comprised of top tier clients well diversified across sectors, with most industries representing 5% or less of the total Commercial Portfolio, except for certain sectors such as Oil & Gas (Downstream) at 9%, Electric Power at 8%, Food and Beverage and Oil & Gas (Integrated), each at 7% of the Commercial Portfolio at the end of 1Q24.

Refer to Exhibit VII for additional information related to the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio distribution by country.

(US$ million)	1Q24		4Q23		1Q23		QoQ (%)		YoY (%)
Commercial Business Segment:
Net interest income	$	56.4	$	58.0	$	44.8	-3	%	26	%
Other income	9.7		10.7		5.0		-9	%	95	%
Total revenues	66.1		68.7		49.8		-4	%	33	%
Provision for credit losses	(3.7)		(10.0)		(3.9)		63	%	5	%
Operating expenses	(14.7)		(17.1)		(11.8)		14	%	-24	%
Profit for the segment	$	47.7	$	41.6	$	34.1	15	%	40	%

Commercial Segment Profitability

Profits from the Commercial Business Segment include: (i) net interest income from loans; (ii) fees and commissions from the issuance, confirmation and negotiation of letters of credit, guarantees and loan commitments, as well as through loan structuring and syndication activities; (iii) gain on sale of loans generated through loan intermediation activities, such as sales and distribution in the primary market; (iv) gain (loss) on sale of financial instruments measured at FVTPL; (v) reversal (provision) for credit losses, (vi) gain (loss) on non-financial assets; and (vii) direct and allocated operating expenses.

Commercial Segment Profit increased to $47.7 million in 1Q24 (+15% QoQ and +40% YoY). The Commercial Segment quarterly results increase was mostly driven by lower provision requirements and operating expenses, along with solid top line revenues of NII and fee income generation. The yearly increase was mostly driven by NII growth resulting from higher average lending volumes and margin expansion, along with strong fee income generation, offsetting higher operating expenses, mainly personnel costs and other expenses related to the Bank’s strategy implementation.

TREASURY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Treasury Business Segment manages the Bank’s investment portfolio and overall asset and liability structure to enhance funding efficiency and liquidity, mitigating the traditional financial risks associated with the balance sheet, such as interest rate, liquidity, price, and currency risks. Interest-earning assets managed by the Treasury Business Segment include liquidity positions in cash and cash equivalents, as well as highly liquid corporate debt securities rated ‘A-‘ or above, and financial instruments related to investment management activities, consisting of securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and securities at amortized cost (the “Investment Portfolio”).

Liquidity

The Bank’s liquid assets, mostly consisting of cash and due from banks, totaled $1,764 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $1,999 million as of December 31, 2023, and $1,303 million as of March 31, 2023, conforming with the Bank’s proactive and prudent liquidity management approach, which follows Basel methodology’s liquidity coverage ratio, as required by Panamanian banking regulator. At the end of those periods, liquidity balances to total assets represented 17%, 19% and 14%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 37%, 45% and 37%, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, $1,537 million, or 87% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FED”).

7

Investment Portfolio

The Investment Portfolio, aimed to further diversify credit-risk exposures and provide contingent liquidity funding, amounted to $1,099 million in principal amount as of March 31, 2024, up 9% from the previous quarter and 17% from a year ago. 81% of the Investment Portfolio consists of investment-grade credit securities eligible for the FED discount window, and $98 million consists of highly rated corporate debt securities (‘A-‘ or above) classified as high quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) in accordance with the specifications of the Basel Committee. Refer to Exhibit VIII for a per-country risk distribution of the Investment Portfolio.

Funding

The Treasury Business Segment also manages the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits, securities sold under repurchased agreements, borrowed funds and floating and fixed rate debt placements. As of March 31, 2024, total funding amounted to $9,021 million, a 1% decrease compared to $9,070 million a quarter ago, and a 15% increase compared to $7,872 million a year ago.

8

Deposit balances once again reached new record levels at $4,724 million at the end of 1Q24 (+7% QoQ and +32% YoY), as a result of the Bank’s cross-selling strategy and its Yankee CD program, the latter amounting to $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2024, complementing the short-term funding structure and long-standing support from the Bank’s Class A shareholders (i.e.: central banks and their designees), which represented 37% of total deposits at the end of 1Q24. As of March 31, 2024, deposits represented 52% of total funding sources, compared to 49% in the previous quarter and 45% a year ago.

As a result of the significant deposit growth, funding through short- and medium-term borrowings and debt, net decreased 10% QoQ and 1% YoY to $3,933 million at the end of 1Q24, while funding through securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”) resulted in $364 million at the end of 1Q24 (+17% QoQ; +5% YoY).

Weighted average funding costs resulted in 5.67% in 1Q24 (-6 bps QoQ; +101 bps YoY), reflect the change in the funding structure towards increased reliance in deposits as well as higher market interest rates YoY.

Treasury Segment Profitability

Profits from the Treasury Business Segment include net interest income derived from the above-mentioned Treasury assets and liabilities, and related net other income (net results from derivative financial instruments and foreign currency exchange, gain (loss) per financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), gain (loss) on sale of securities at FVOCI, and other income), recovery or impairment loss on financial instruments, and direct and allocated operating expenses.

(US$ million)	1Q24		4Q23		1Q23		QoQ (%)		YoY (%)
Treasury Business Segment:
Net interest income	$	6.5	$	7.5	$	7.8	-14	%	-16	%
Other (expense) income	0.0		1.6		1.6		100	%	100	%
Total revenues	6.5		9.1		9.4		-28	%	-30	%
Reversal of (provision for) credit losses	0.7		0.1		(2.4)		846	%	128	%
Operating expenses	(3.6)		(4.3)		(4.0)		16	%	10	%
Profit for the segment	$	3.6	$	4.8	$	2.9	-26	%	24	%

The Treasury Business Segment recorded a $3.6 million profit for 1Q24 (-26% QoQ; +24% YoY). The Treasury’s net profits quarterly decrease mainly resulted from lower total revenues from the effect of higher interest-bearing liabilities average volumes (+4% QoQ and +17% YoY) and decreased other income from its hedging derivatives positions. In addition, the yearly increase mainly resulted from the $0.7 million in reversal of credit losses in 1Q24 compared to a $2.4 million in provision for credit losses in 1Q23.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGINS

(US$ million, except percentages)	1Q24			4Q23			1Q23			QoQ (%)		YoY (%)
Net Interest Income
Interest income	$	193.6		$	193.9		$	143.4		—	%	35	%
Interest expense	(130.7)			(128.4)			(90.8)			2	%	44	%

Net Interest Margin ("NIM")	2.47		%	2.62		%	2.41		%	-6	%	2	%

9

NII decreased 4% QoQ and increased 20% YoY to $62.9 million in 1Q24. The positive NII evolution is the result of strong lending spreads, efficient cost of funds and a proactive management of the short-tenor interest rate gap, along with higher average interest-earning assets volumes (+3% QoQ and +16% YoY). These effects, along with higher market-based average asset rates which generated incremental revenues from the share of assets funded by equity, also benefited the Net Interest Margin resulting in 2.47% in 1Q24 (-16 bps QoQ; +6 bps YoY).

FEES AND COMMISSIONS

Fees and Commissions, net, include revenues associated with the letter of credit business, loan structuring and syndication, loan intermediation and distribution in the primary market, and other commissions, mostly from other contingencies, such as guarantees and credit commitments, net of fee expenses.

(US$ million)	1Q24		4Q23		1Q23		QoQ (%)		YoY (%)
Letters of credit fees	5.8		5.7		3.9		2	%	49	%
Loan syndication fees	1.3		3.5		0.4		-62	%	236	%
Other commissions, net	2.3		0.9		0.5		167	%	371	%
Fees and Commissions, net	$	9.5	$	10.1	$	4.8	-6	%	97	%

Fees and Commissions, net, resulted in $9.5 million in 1Q24 (-6% QoQ; +97% YoY), mainly from the improved results in the Bank’s letters of credit business, which has benefited from increased transactional volume and cross-selling efforts, coupled with the solid activity in its transaction-based structuring and syndications business. During the quarter, other commissions increased to $2.3 million on fee acceleration on facility prepayments, along with other opportunistic off-balance sheet transactions.

Efficiency Ratio	25.2		%	27.6		%	26.9		%

Operating expenses totaled $18.3 million in 1Q24 (-15% QoQ; +15% YoY). The quarterly decrease was mostly associated to higher performance-based variable compensation in 4Q23 due to outstanding 2023 results, as well as higher activity in strategy execution. The yearly increase was mostly attributable to higher personnel expenses as the Bank’s work force increased in line with its focus on strengthening the Bank’s strategy execution capabilities.

The Efficiency Ratio stood at 25.2% in 1Q24, compared to 27.6% in 4Q23 and compared to 26.9% a year ago, on the back of solid total revenue levels and well-controlled operating expenses.
