BLADEX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2010 NET INCOME OF $1.7 MILLION; $0.05 PER SHARE.
PANAMA CITY, July 21, 2010 – Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. (NYSE: BLX, “Bladex”, or “the Bank”) announced today its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Second Quarter Business Highlights
· Net Income (*) for the second quarter 2010 amounted to $1.7 million, compared to $10.1 million in the first quarter 2010, and $10.5 million in the second quarter 2009; the decline was driven by trading losses in the Asset Management Division.
· During the quarter, the Commercial Portfolio grew $305 million, or 9%. Year-to-date, the commercial portfolio has grown $436 million, or 14%. Compared to June 30, 2009, the portfolio has expanded 24%.
· Net interest income in the second quarter 2010 was $17.2 million, a 6% increase over the previous period. Fees and commissions grew 17% during the quarter, reaching $2.8 million. On a year-to date-basis, fees and commissions have grown 78%.
· The Bank's weighted average cost of funds decreased 17bps, or 12%, compared to the first quarter 2010, and 125bps, or 50%, compared to the second quarter 2009. As of June 30, 2010 deposit balances increased 11% over the previous quarter and 20% year-on-year.
· Portfolio quality continued to improve, as non-accrual loans declined 12% compared to the previous quarter to $45 million.
· Second quarter 2010 operating expenses were $10.0 million, the same level as the first quarter 2010, and 16% higher than the second quarter 2009, as average commercial portfolio balances grew 21% year-on-year.
· The Commercial Division recorded a $2.4 million, or 23%, increase in operating income during the quarter, as business grew across all customer segments and the new offices in Porto Alegre and Monterrey came on line. The Treasury Division reported a Net Loss (*) in the second quarter of $2.8 million, unchanged from the previous period. While the Division has no open interest or currency positions, the results were driven by unrealized net losses on the valuations of hedging instruments used, and by valuations of the $51 million securities trading portfolio.
· The Asset Management Division reported a Net Loss in the second quarter 2010 of $9.4 million, compa red to a Net Loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter 2010, and Net Income of $2.5 million in the second quarter 2009. T he loss in the second quarter 2010 was related to trading losses in the Investment Fund, as volatility and Latin American market correlations with European markets peaked during the quarter.
· The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio as of June 30, 2010 was 23.4%, compared to 24.6% as of March 31, 2010, and 21.1% as of June 30, 2009, while the leverage ratio as of these dates was 6.6x, 5.8x, and 6.3x, respectively.
(*) Net income or loss attributable to Bladex (“Net Income”, or “Net Loss”).
CEO's Comments
Mr. Jaime Rivera, Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the Bank’s results: “Bladex’s second quarter results demonstrate the Bank’s ability to leverage the Region’s recovering trade flows, expand its operation and grow the core business. Unfortunately, trading losses in the Asset Management Division masked the substantial progress made in just about all other aspects of Bladex’s business.
Bladex posted strong results in its core business, with an expanding commercial portfolio and strong fee generation. Trade flows continue to expand, economies are in generally good shape, and investment levels across most of the Region are rising. Working off this favorable environment, Bladex continues to expand its client base and develop new markets. The Bank has opened two new representative offices and just received Board approval to open the next. As a result, the commercial portfolio grew 9% during the quarter, bringing year-to-date growth to 14%, and growth during the previous twelve months to 24%. Disbursements in the second quarter were $1.6 billion, 25% ahead of the previous period. Fees and commissions are running 78% ahead of last year.
Bladex’s cost of funds has continued to decline and is now 142 bps less than this time last year. Crucially, credit quality, already nearing the Bank’s historical standards, continues to improve. The Bank’s capitalization remains strong (Tier 1 of 23.4%), deposits are growing, and liquidity is ample. Expenses are running higher than last year, but are doing so because of a good reason: Bladex is investing in the growth of the Commercial Division.
The trading losses within the Asset Management Division stemmed from an unusually strong correlation that developed between Latin American positions and some EU sovereign risk, particularly while the Greek crisis was in full swing in April and May. The Asset Management Division is reviewing its trading strategy in light of this new reality, and the Bank expects the Division to return to its usual performance levels as markets stabilize.
With all of the Bank's other indicators showing clear progress, management will continue to focus its efforts on the execution of Bladex’s medium-term plan designed to achieve scale, stability and attractive returns," Mr. Rivera concluded.

Quarterly and Year-on-Year Growth

2Q10 vs. 1Q10
The Division’s Net Income in the second quarter 2010 amounted to $13.9 million, compared to $14.3 million in the first quarter 2010, which benefitted from higher provision reversals. Net operating income in the second quarter 2010 amounted to $13.0 million, compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter 2010. The $2.4 million quarterly increase in operating income was the result of the combined effects of: (i) a $1.8 million increase in net interest income due to higher average loan portfolio balances (+7%), mainly driven by demand from corporations, (ii) a $0.5 million increase in non-interest operating income, mostly attributable to increased commission income from the letter of credit business, and (iii) $0.1 million in lower operating expenses during the quarter.
2Q10 vs. 2Q09
The Division’s Net Income in the second quarter 2010 increased $10.3 million compared to the second quarter 2009, mainly as a result of improving credit quality, and thus, decreased reserve requirements. Net Operating income increased $0.3 million compared to the second quarter 2009, mainly due to an 11% increase in non-interest income from fees and commissions, partially offset by increased operating expenses. The effects of a greater average portfolio base on net interest income were largely offset by a year-on-year decline in market rates.
6M10 vs. 6M09
The Division’s accumulated Net Income increased $17.0 million (155%) versus the same period in 2009, mainly as a result of lower credit reserve requirements as portfolio quality improved, and higher non-interest operating income, partially offset by lower net interest income. Net operating income declined $2.0 million versus the six months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of: (i) a $1.7 million decrease in net interest income mostly attributable to lower average lending rates (160 bps), of which 157 bps corresponded to a reduction in market interest rates, partially offset by lower average cost of funds (-142 bps) and by the income effects of the increase in average loan portfolio balances (+11%); (ii) a $1.6 million increase in commissions and fees from letters of credit and guarantees, and (iii) a $1.9 million increase in operating expenses as the Division expanded its activities.

The following graph illustrates the trend in quarterly weighted average lending spreads as liquidity and credit quality stabilized:
The commercial portfolio includes book value of loans, acceptances, and contingencies (including confirmed letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit, and guarantees covering commercial and country risks and credit commitments) pertaining to the Bank’s client-oriented intermediation activities. The Bank’s commercial portfolio balance reached $3.5 billion as of June 30, 2010, a 9% increase over the balances as of March 31, 2010, and 24% over the balance as of June 30, 2009. Similarly, on an average basis, the commercial portfolio increased 6% in the second quarter 2010 compared to the previous quarter, and 21% from the second quarter 2009.
5
The commercial portfolio continues to mainly be short-term and trade-related in nature. $2.7 billion, or 77%, of the commercial portfolio matures within one year. Trade financing operations represent 60% of the portfolio, while the remaining balance consists primarily of lending to banks and exporters. Refer to Exhibit X for information relating to the Bank’s commercial portfolio distribution by country and Exhibit XII for the Bank’s distribution of credit disbursements by country.
TREASURY DIVISION
The Treasury Division incorporates the Bank’s liquidity management and investment securities activities. Net Income is presented net of allocated operating expenses, and includes net interest income on Treasury activities and net other income (loss) relating to Treasury activities (12) .

Quarterly and Year-on-Year Variation
The Treasury Division continued to leverage diversified funding sources to lower funding costs during the quarter as deposits and borrowings increased, while maintaining the level of its securities portfolio compared to the previous quarter.
The trading portfolio as of June 30, 2010 reached $51 million, the same level as of March 31, 2010, and a $114 million decrease from June 30, 2009. The securities available for sale portfolio as of June 30, 2010 remained at $457 million, the same level as of March 31, 2010, and a $151 million decrease compared to June 30, 2009. The year-on-year decrease reflects the sale of $147 million in book value of the securities portfolio in 2009.
Period-end deposit balances increased 11% over the previous quarter, and 20% year-on-year, to reach $1.5 billion, the highest level since third quarter 2008. Borrowings and securities sold under repurchase agreements increased 16% over the first quarter 2010 to $2.0 billion, a 1% year-on-year increase, as the leverage ratio reached 6.6x in the second quarter 2010, compared to 5.8x in the previous quarter, and 6.3x in the same period 2009.

2Q10 vs. 1Q10
In the second quarter 2010, the Treasury Division posted a Net Loss of $2.8 million, compared to the same result in the first quarter 2010. Net operating revenues were $0.2 million lower, mainly due to a $0.3 million decrease in non-interest operating income mainly from net losses on valuations of hedging instruments, partially offset by increased interest income, and decreased operating expenses.
2Q10 vs. 2Q09
The Treasury Division posted a Net Loss of $2.8 million in the second quarter 2010 compared to a Net Income of $4.4 million in the second quarter 2009 due to a $7.2 million variance in non-interest operating income as a result of unrealized losses on trading securities.
6M10 vs. 6M09
The Treasury Division reported a Net Loss of $5.5 million during the first six months of 2010, compared to a $5.4 million Net Income in the first six months of 2009. The $10.9 million decrease in this period was primarily driven by a $12.0 million variance in non-interest operating income mainly attributable to a year-on-year reduction in gains on trading securities.
The available for sale portfolio as of June 30, 2010 consisted entirely of readily quoted Latin American securities, 80% of which were sovereign and state-owned risk in nature (refer to Exhibit XI for a per country distribution of the Treasury portfolio).
The available for sale portfolio is marked to market, with the impact recorded in stockholders’ equity through the Other Comprehensive Income Account (“OCI”), which stood at (-$11 million) in the second quarter 2010, compared to (-$6 million) in the first quarter 2010, as lower valuations on related hedging instruments (-$6 million) offset increased market valuations of the securities portfolio (+$1 million) (refer to Exhibit I).
Liquid assets (11) increased to $593 million as of June 30, 2010, compared to $328 million as of March 31, 2010, and $456 million as of June 30, 2009, in preparation for credit disbursements and retirements of borrowings scheduled early in the current quarter.
The Bank made increased use of repurchase agreement obligations in the second quarter 2010, and increased overall borrowing levels to support asset growth as funding costs continue to improve. Weighted average funding costs for the second quarter 2010 amounted to 1.26%, a decrease of 17 bps, or 12%, compared to the first quarter 2010, and a decrease of 125 bps, or 50%, compared to the second quarter 2009.
ASSET MANAGEMENT DIVISION
The Asset Management Division incorporates the Bank’s asset management activities. The Division’s Investment Fund follows primarily a Latin America macro strategy, utilizing a combination of products (foreign exchange, equity indices, interest rate swaps, and credit derivative products) to establish long and short positions in the markets.

The Division’s Net Income includes net interest income on the Investment Fund, as well as net gains (losses) from Investment Fund trading, other related income (loss), allocated operating expenses, and the Net Income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest.

The Asset Management Division recorded a Net Loss in the second quarter 2010 of $9.4 million, compared to a Net Loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter in 2010. The $8.0 million decrease was mainly due to a $8.8 million decrease in non-interest operating income attributable to losses from Investment Fund trading, partially offset by net income attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest.
2Q10 vs. 2Q09
The Division posted a Net Loss of $9.4 million in the second quarter 2010, compared to a $2.5 million gain in the second quarter 2009 as a result of losses from Investment Fund trading, offset by net loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest.
6M10 vs. 6M09
The Division posted a Net Loss during the first six months of 2010 of $10.7 million compared to Net Income of $10.7 million in the first six months of 2009. The $21.4 million year-over-year variance was due to the combined effects of: (i) a $2.2 million increase in net interest income, (ii) a $28.0 million decrease in non-interest operating income attributable to losses from Investment Fund trading, (iii) a $1.2 million decrease in operating expenses from lower provisions for variable compensation tied to the performance of the Investment Fund.
As of June 30, 2010, the Investment Fund’s asset value totaled $193 million, compared to $205 million as of March 31, 2010 and $166 million as of June 30, 2009. For the same dates, Bladex´s ownership of the Bladex Offshore Feeder Fund was 79.0%, compared to 78.79% as of March 31, 2010, and 95.32% as of June 30, 2009, respectively, with remaining balances owned by third party investors.

2Q10 vs. 1Q10
In the second quarter 2010, net interest income amounted to $17.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 6% compared to $16.3 million in the first quarter 2010. The quarterly increase primarily reflects:
(i) Higher average loan portfolio balances, which increased $192 million, or 7%, compared to the first quarter 2010, which resulted in an overall increase of $1.7 million in interest income, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in interest expense, due to higher average balances in securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings. The net positive effect of higher average volumes in interest-assets and interest-bearing liabilities was $1.1 million.
(ii) Lower average interest rates for the Bank’s assets and liabilities resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in net interest income. The average yield paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 bps to 1.26% during the quarter due to lower interbank market rates as well as lower borrowings spreads, while the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 14 bps to 2.65% during the second quarter 2010 compared to the first quarter 2010, mainly attributable to the Investment Fund.
2Q10 vs. 2Q09
Net interest income when compared to the second quarter 2009, increased $0.4 million, or 2%. This increase reflects primarily the following:
(i) Higher average loan portfolio balances, which increased $417 million, or 16%, compared to the second quarter 2009, resulted in an overall increase of $1.4 million in interest income. Average volumes of interest bearing liabilities, decreased $98 million, mainly due to the reduction of securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings, which entirely offset the effect of increased deposits and long-term borrowings and debt. The net effect of average volumes variances in interest-assets and interest-bearing liabilities was $1.4 million.
(ii) Lower average interest rates for the Bank’s assets and liabilities resulted in a $1.0 million decrease in net interest income. The average yield paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 125 bps, while the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 100 bps, both mostly attributable to lower interbank market rates.
Net interest margin stood at 1.67% in the second quarter 2010, compared to 1.71% in the first quarter 2010, and 1.62% in the second quarter 2009.
6M10 vs. 6M09
Net interest income amounted to $33.5 million in the first six months of 2010, compared to $32.2 million during the first six months of 2009. The $1.3 million, or 4%, increase of net interest income during the period primarily reflects:
11
(i) Higher average loan portfolio balances, which increased $276 million, or 11%, from $2.6 billion in the first six months of 2009 to $2.9 billion in the first six months of 2010, resulting in a $2.7 million overall increase in net interest income, and a $0.7 million decrease in interest expense associated primarily with a decrease of securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings, which decreased from $1.0 billion in the first six months of 2009 compared to $0.4 billion in the first six months of 2010. The net effect of average volume variances in interest-bearing assets and liabilities was a $3.4 million increase in net interest income.
(ii) Lower average interest rates for the Bank’s assets and liabilities resulted in a $2.1 million decrease in net interest income. The average yield paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 142 bps to 1.34% during the first six months of 2010, from 2.76% in the first six months of 2009, mainly due to lower interbank market rates, while the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 108 bps, to 2.72% in the first six months of 2010 (from 3.79% in the first six months of 2009), also mainly attributable to lower interbank market rates.
Net interest margin stood at 1.69% in the first six months of 2010, compared to 1.56% in the first six months of 2009.

Fees and commissions amounted to $2.8 million, $0.4 million higher than the first quarter 2010, and $2.1 million higher compared to the second quarter 2009. Both variances were mainly due to increased commission income from the letter of credit business as the result of the combined effects of:
(i) The impact of a quarter-on-quarter decrease in average letter of credit balances (-$0.1 million), while margin improvements in the same period contributed $0.5 million; and
(ii) The impact of a year-on-year increase in average letter of credit balances, $0.8 million, while margin improvements contributed $1.3 million.
During the first six months of 2010, commission income amounted to $5.2 million, compared $2.9 million in the six months of 2009, resulting in a $2.3 million increase in commission income, mainly from the letter of credit business.

Allowance for Credit Losses | $ 100.5 | $ 101.7 | $ | 101.0 | $ | 97.6 | $ | 95.3 | |
During the second quarter 2010, the allowance for credit losses decreased $2.3 million, reflecting the $7.3 million increase in the allowance for loan losses, and a $9.6 million decrease in the reserve for losses on off-balance sheet credit risk.
(i) Allowance for loan losses : The $7.3 million increase in the allowance for loan losses reflect the combination of: (i) a $5.8 million provision in generic loan loss reserves driven primarily by higher balances in the loan portfolio, (ii) a $2.9 million increase in specific loan loss reserves, and (iii) a $2.1 million charge-off net of $0.7 million in recoveries pertaining to prior-period losses.
(ii) Reserve for losses on off-balance sheet credit risk : The $9.6 million decrease in the reserves for losses on off-balance sheet credit risk reflects changes in the overall risk profile of the portfolio composition.
As of June 30, 2010, the non-accrual portfolio amounted to $45.3 million, compared to $51.3 million as of March 31, 2010, a decline of 12%. No new non-accrual loans were recorded in the second quarter 2010. The $6.0 million decrease was due to the settlement of a loan resulting in a partial charge-off, and the release of the associated specific reserve.
The net reversal for loan and off-balance sheet credit losses of $0.9 million during the quarter was $2.6 million lower than the previous quarter, as overall lower generic reserve requirements, net of recoveries, were partially offset by increased reserves from loan growth and specific reserve requirements.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to the commercial portfolio stood at 2.7% as of June 30, 2010, compared to 3.0% as of March 31, 2010, and 3.5% as of June 30, 2009, while the non-accruing loan ratio stood at 1.5%, 1.8%, and 0%, respectively.

Quarterly Variation
Operating expenses in the second quarter 2010 totaled $10.0 million, the same level as the first quarter 2010, and an increase of $1.4 million, or 16%, with respect to the second quarter 2009. The year-on-year increase in operating expenses was mostly attributable to increased salaries and other employee expenses associated with a higher average employee headcount, and the start of the Bank’s new offices in Porto Alegre, Brazil and Monterrey, Mexico.
6M10 vs. 6M09
During the first half of 2010, operating expenses amounted to $20.1 million, compared to $19.8 million during the same period in 2009. The $0.3 million, or 2%, increase in operating expenses during this period was attributable to the net effect of higher salaries and other employee expenses from higher average headcount and professional fees associated with the expansion of the Commercial Division’s activities, partially offset by lower performance–related expenses from the Investment Fund.
The Bank’s efficiency ratio as of June 30, 2010 was 82% compared to 32% as of June 30, 2009, mainly the result of a $37.0 million decrease in net operating revenues in the Asset Management and Treasury Divisions during the period
As of June 30, 2010, the Bank’s operating expenses to average assets ratio amounted to 1.02%, compared to 0.96% as of June 30, 2009. During the second quarter 2010, the operating expenses to average assets ratio improved 8 basis points to 0.98%, compared to previous quarter’s 1.06%, as asset growth accelerated.
