BLADEX’S 2015 NET INCOME TOTALED $104.0 MILLION (+$1.6 MILLION, OR +2% YoY), OR $2.67 PER SHARE, ON HIGHER NET INTEREST INCOME, FEES AND OTHER INCOME, IMPROVED EFFICIENCY AND NON-CORE RESULTS

PANAMA CITY, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, February 18, 2016 – Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. (NYSE: BLX, “Bladex”, or “the Bank”), a Panama-based multinational bank originally established by the central banks of 23 Latin-American and Caribbean countries to promote foreign trade and economic integration in the Region, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2015.

The consolidated financial information in this document has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The earnings reports for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 are the first the Bank has prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Bank has adopted IFRS 9 which calls, among other elements, for allowances based on forward-looking expected credit losses for financial instruments including loans, contingencies and investment securities. In prior years and quarters, the Bank prepared its financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). All 2015 and 2014 financial data included in this report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Regarding the first-time adoption of IFRS, please also refer to Exhibit XIII and Exhibit XIV for a reconciliation of the consolidated statements of financial position for the year ended 2014 and as at January 1 st , 2014, and the consolidated statements of income for the year ended 2014, respectively.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Highlights

Reported results:

· Bladex’s 2015 Net Income totaled $104.0 million (+$1.6 million, or +2% YoY), on higher net interest income (+3% YoY), fees and other income (+2% YoY), improved efficiency (-2 pts YoY) and non-core results (+87% YoY), partially offset by higher provision and impairment loss for expected credit losses on loans and investment securities, respectively, mainly impacting the fourth quarter 2015, which, together with negative non-core results, brought quarterly Net Income to $23.2 million (-38% QoQ and -35% YoY).

· Net interest income totaled $145.5 million in 2015 (+4.1 million, or +3% YoY), on higher average lending balances and nearly stable funding costs despite higher average funding tenors. 4Q15 net interest income reached $37.8 million (+2% QoQ; -2% YoY) on increased Libor (1) rates, higher average lending rates (+10 bps QoQ and YoY), and portfolio balances (+2% QoQ; +1% YoY), partly offset by higher average funding costs (+13 bps QoQ; +16 bps YoY).

Field: /Page

· Fees and other income amounted to $22.3 million (+$0.5 million, or +2% YoY), on higher commissions from letters of credit and contingencies and higher fees from loan structuring and syndication activities, partially offset by lower income from loan distribution activities in the secondary markets. Fees and other income reached $7.7 million in 4Q15 (-6% QoQ; +9% YoY).

Key performance metrics:

· The Bank’s 2015 ROAE (2) and Business ROAE (3) reached 11.0% and 10.4%, respectively, compared to 11.5% and 11.2% a year ago, on capitalization levels that strengthened YoY from 15.5% to 16.1% (Tier 1 Basel III).

· 4Q15 NIS (4) and NIM (5) stood at 1.72% (+5 bps QoQ; -5 bps YoY) and 1.90% (+7 bps QoQ; -2 bps YoY), respectively, as lending margins improved QoQ. Full year 2015 NIS and NIM both had a slight YoY decrease to 1.68% and 1.84%, respectively.

· The Bank’s 2015 Efficiency and Business Efficiency Ratios (6) improved to 30% and 31%, respectively, compared to 32% in 2014, as operating revenues increased 4% and operating expenses decreased 3%. 4Q15 Efficiency and Business Efficiency Ratios were 30% (+5 pts. QoQ; +1 pts. YoY) and 29% (unchanged QoQ; -3 pts. YoY), respectively.

Credit Growth & Quality:

· Average Commercial Portfolio balances for 4Q15 and full-year 2015 increased moderately to $7.2 billion (+1% QoQ) and $7.1 billion (+3% YoY), respectively, while end-of-period Commercial Portfolio balances also stood at $7.2 billion as of December 31, 2015, up 1% QoQ and nearly unchanged vs. the prior year.

· While overall portfolio credit quality remained sound, with significantly reduced risk-weighted assets (-5% QoQ), provisions increased to account for expected lifetime credit losses regarding certain exposures. The ratio of the total reserve for credit losses to non-performing loans (“NPL”) amounted to 1.8 times, and to 1.33% of total Commercial Portfolio ending balances. Pre-payments subsequent to the closing date increased the NPL coverage ratio to 3.4 times.

CEO's Comments

Mr. Rubens V. Amaral, Jr., Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the Bank’s Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2015 results: “Even with expectations of significantly diverging growth paths in the Region, the year 2015 proved to be a year of many challenges for the markets in which Bladex operates. Especially in the second half of the year, the economic environment took a turn for the worse, with the confluence of several adverse macroeconomic trends impacting more forcefully Latin-American countries, amongst which the deterioration of terms-of-trade for commodity-exporting producers, a recessionary and inflationary environment in important economies such as Brazil, and a heightened perception of credit risk being the most significant factors. Even so, the results in the fourth quarter of 2015 demonstrated Bladex’s resilient earnings generation capacity, which allowed the Bank to absorb an increase in expected credit losses for certain exposures in process of restructuring. This quarter Bladex also completed its transition from US GAAP to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) following a mandate by Panama´s local regulator. The financial impact of the transition to IFRS, however, has been fairly limited mainly due to Bladex´s straight-forward business model, which focuses primarily on short-dated trade finance and trade-related business, and a high-quality roster of client relationships.

A quick summary of the main performance indicators for the year 2015:

Although end-of-period balances for the Commercial Portfolio remained essentially flat for the year, average balances increased by close to $0.2 billion, as we managed our Commercial Portfolio within the context of pro-active and cautious risk exposure management. A case in point is exposure to Brazil, which now represents 22.7% of the total Commercial Portfolio, down more than 5 percentage points from 2014. In the fourth quarter alone, we reduced our exposure by approximately $0.2 billion, more than half of the total reduction of $0.4 billion in all of 2015. This speaks to our ability to swiftly and decisively react to deteriorating market conditions, significantly reducing risk-weighted assets. Nevertheless, total disbursements for 2015 reached $12.1 billion, confirming Bladex´s active role and diversified presence in the Region.

Despite challenging market conditions, overall 2015 fee and other income improved slightly, and Bladex was able to further consolidate its position as a relevant player in the syndications business in Latin America, leading 7 executed transactions in a variety of countries and industries during the year, with a healthy pipeline of potential transactions for 2016.

Core ROAE for the year remained largely stable at around 11%, broadly in line with our goal of achieving consistent baseline returns throughout economic cycles. Efficiency continued to improve, reaching 30%, down from 32% in the previous year, confirming our commitment towards cost discipline, which is especially important when efficiency gains simply from a rising revenue base become harder to achieve.

Very robust capitalization remains a strong suit for Bladex as the Tier 1 Basel III ratio strengthened to 16.1%, from 15.5% the year before. This, in spite of the continued focus on sharing successful performance with shareholders, and on providing an attractive dividend yield, as 2015 dividends of $1.54 per share represented a total net income pay-out ratio of 58%.

In summary, yet again solid results achieved in an ever more challenging context confirm the Bank´s ability to adapt and cope, keeping its sight on performance, but also strengthening its position to succeed going forward.” Mr. Amaral concluded.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Bank’s activities are operated and executed in two business segments, Commercial and Treasury. The business segment results are determined based on the Bank’s managerial accounting process, which assigns consolidated balance sheets, revenue and expense items to each business segment on a systemic basis.

Field: /Page

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Commercial Business Segment incorporates the Bank’s core business of financial intermediation and fee generation activities relating to the Bank’s commercial portfolio activities, which include the origination of bilateral and syndicated credits, short- and medium-term loans, acceptances and contingent credits. Net Income includes net interest income from loans, fees and other income, allocated operating expenses, reversals or provisions for expected credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet instruments.

The Commercial Portfolio includes the loan portfolio, customers’ liabilities under acceptances, and contingencies (including confirmed and stand-by letters of credit, guarantees covering commercial risk and credit commitments).

As of December 31, 2015, the Commercial Portfolio balances stood at $7.2 billion, slightly higher form the $7.1 billion a quarter ago and the same level from a year ago, as the Bank continues its approach to privilege lending margins over balance growth. On an average basis, Commercial Portfolio balances reached $7.1 billion in 2015, up 3% from 2014 average balance, mainly from higher business demand from the Bank’s client base of financial institutions (+10% year-on-year) and corporations (+2% year-on-year). Quarterly average Commercial Portfolio balances reached $7.2 billion in the fourth quarter 2015, nearly unchanged from the previous quarter (+1%) and the fourth quarter 2014.

The Commercial Portfolio continued to be short-term and trade-related in nature: as at December 31, 2015, $5.1 billion, or 72%, of the Commercial Portfolio were scheduled to mature within one year. Trade finance operations represented 56% of the portfolio, while the remaining balance consisted primarily of lending to financial institutions and corporations engaged in foreign trade, generating hard currency.

The following graphs illustrate the geographic distribution of the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio, highlighting the portfolio´s diversification by country of risk, and the diversification across industry segments:

The Commercial Business Segment’s fourth quarter 2015 Net Income totaled $28.6 million, a $0.6 million, or 3%, increase compared to $28.0 million in the third quarter 2015, primarily attributable to a $1.5 million, or 5%, increase in net interest income mainly from higher average lending rates (+10 bps), and higher average portfolio balances (+2%).

4Q15 vs. 4Q14

The Segment’s quarterly Net Income of $28.6 million represented a $0.5 million, or 2%, increase compared to $28.1 million in the fourth quarter 2014, as a result of: (i) a $1.5 million, or 4%, increase in net operating revenues from higher loan structuring and syndication fees, and growth in the letter of credit business leading to a $0.8 million, or 13%, increase in net other income, together with higher average lending rates (+10 bps) and loan portfolio balances (+1%) resulting in a $0.7 million, or 3%, increase in net interest income, (ii) a $1.4 million, or 13%, decrease in operating expenses; partially offset by (iii) a $2.5 million increase in provision for expected credit losses, mainly due to increased reserves relating to the non-performing portfolio.

2015 vs. 2014

The Commercial Business Segment’s Net Income reached $95.4 million in 2015, a $5.3 million or 6% increase, compared to $90.1 million achieved in 2014, mainly as a result of: (i) a $5.2 million or 4% increase in net operating revenue mostly from higher average loan portfolio balances (+4%) which resulted in a $4.8 million, or 4%, increase in net interest income; a $0.4 million, or 2%, increase in net other income from higher commissions from letters of credit and contingencies business and higher fees from loan structuring and syndication activities, partially offset by lower gains on sale of loans resulting from decreased loan distribution activity in secondary market, and (ii) a $2.4 million, or 6%, decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by (iii) a $2.2 million increase in provision for expected credit losses.

TREASURY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Treasury Business Segment is responsible for the Bank’s funding and liquidity management, along with the management of its activities in investment securities, which comprise financial instruments at amortized cost, and at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Account (“FVTOCI”) (securities held to solely collect contractual cash flows representing payments of principal and interest , and securities held with the objective to collect contractual cash flows, and to be sold, respectively), as well as the management of the Bank’s interest rate, liquidity, price, and currency risks. The Treasury Business Segment also incorporates the Bank’s net results from its remaining participation in investment funds, which are shown in the other income line item “gain (loss) per financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss”. Following a contractual redemption of $4.0 million made in November 2015, Bladex’s participation in the Feeder Fund stood at 47.71% as of December 31, 2015, compared to 48.12% as of September 30, 2015 and 49.61% as of December 31, 2014.

The Treasury Business Segment’s Net Income is presented net of allocated operating expenses, and includes net interest income from Treasury activities, as well as related net other income, which comprises the net result of coverage (net results from derivative financial instruments and foreign currency exchange), gain (loss) per financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, gain (loss) per financial instruments at FVTOCI, and net other income, net of any impairment loss from expected credit losses on investment securities.

The Bank’s liquid assets totaled $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2015, compared to $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2015, and $0.7 billion as of December 31, 2014, in line with the Bank’s long-standing approach to prudent and proactive liquidity management as the Region´s macroeconomic conditions worsened. As of these dates, the liquid assets to total assets ratio was 15.3%, 10.9%, and 9.2%, respectively, while the liquid assets to total deposits ratio was 45.3%, 27.9%, and 29.6%, respectively.

As of December 31, 2015, the portfolio of securities at FVTOCI totaled $142 million, compared to $171 million as of September 30, 2015, and $339 million as of December 31, 2014, as the Bank continued to reduce its holdings in that category. The portfolio of securities at amortized cost stood at $108 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $122 million as of September 30, 2015, and $55 million as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, both securities portfolios consisted of readily-quoted Latin American securities, 66% of which represented multilateral, sovereign, or state-owned risk (refer to Exhibit XI for a per-country risk distribution of the Treasury portfolio).

Deposit balances stood at $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2015, representing 38% of total liabilities. Balances were 10% lower compared to the previous quarter, but 12% higher from a year ago. Short-term borrowings and debt, including Repos, totaled $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2015, resulting in a 23% quarter-on-quarter increase, and a 14% year-on-year decrease, while long-term borrowings and debt totaled $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2015, up 5% quarter-on-quarter and 34% year-on-year, as the Bank increased its long-term funding through capital markets issuances, loan syndications and bilateral finance transactions. Weighted average funding costs were 1.08% for 2015, nearly the same level as a year ago, as the Bank efficiently managed its overall funding mix by compensating the rise of Libor rates with lower funding spreads, while increasing tenors, and diversifying its funding sources. On a quarterly basis, weighted average funding costs increased 13 bps quarter-on-quarter and 16 bps year-on-year to reach 1.17% in the fourth quarter 2015, as a result of increased Libor rates during the quarter, and higher average funding tenors.

The negative variation of $14.7 million quarter-on-quarter and $12.9 million year-on-year were mostly driven by a swing in results from the Bank’s participation in investment funds and impairment loss from expected credit losses on investment securities.

2015 vs. 2014

The Treasury Business Segment reported Net Income of $8.6 million in 2015, compared to Net Income of $12.2 million in 2014, a $3.6 million, or 30%, year-on-year decrease primarily attributable to a $4.3 million increase in impairment loss from expected credit losses on investment securities. Net operating revenues increased $1.1 million, or 4%, to reach $25.2 million in 2015, as a result of a $1.7 million, or 32%, increase in net other income mainly driven by improved performance from the Bank’s participation in investment funds, partially offset by a $0.6 million, or 3%, decrease in net interest income from lower average balances of investment securities, as average funding costs remained relatively stable at 1.08%.

Quarterly variation

The Bank’s fourth quarter 2015 net interest income reached $37.8 million, a $0.7 million, or 2% quarter-on-quarter increase, primarily attributable to an increase in Libor rates, higher average lending rates (+10 bps) and loan portfolio balances (+2%), partially offset by higher average funding costs (+13 bps). Compared to the fourth quarter 2014, net interest income decreased 2%, as higher average lending rates (+10 bps) and loan portfolio balances (+1%), were more than offset by higher average funding costs (+16 bps) on extended average funding tenors.

2015 vs. 2014

The Bank’s 2015 net interest income rose by $4.1 million, or 3%, to $145.5 million, compared to $141.3 million in 2014. This year-on-year increase was driven by higher average balances of the Bank’s interest-earning assets (+5%), which was partially offset by higher average balances on the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities (+4%), and from higher average Libor rates.

FEES AND OTHER INCOME

Fees and other income includes the fee income associated with letters of credit and other off-balance sheet assets, such as guarantees and credit commitments, as well as fee income derived from loan structuring and syndication, and loan intermediation and distribution activities.

Quarterly Variation

Fees and other income totaled $7.7 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter 2015, and compared to $7.1 million in the fourth quarter 2014. The $0.5 million, or 6%, quarter-on-quarter decrease was mostly driven by lower fees from the structuring and distribution activities as three mandated lead-arranger transactions were closed during the fourth quarter 2015, compared to four in the previous quarter, partially offset by higher gains on sale of loans. The $0.7 million, or 9%, year-on-year increase was mostly driven by higher fee income from the letters of credit and contingency business and loan structuring and syndication activities, partially offset by lower loan distribution activity in the secondary markets resulting in decreased gains on the sale of loans.

2015 vs. 2014

Fees and other income amounted to $22.3 million in 2015 compared to $21.8 million in 2014. The $0.5 million, or 2%, increase resulted from higher commissions from the letters of credit and contingencies business and higher fees from loan structuring and syndication activity, partially offset by lower loan distribution activity in the secondary markets resulting in decreased gains on the sale of loans.

Credit quality remained sound, despite an increase in NPL balances to $52.3 million, representing 0.78% of total loan portfolio balances as of December 31, 2015, while the ratio of the total reserve for expected credit losses to NPL was 1.8 times. Subsequent to the closing date, pre-payments reduced NPL to $28.0 million, for a NPL ratio of 3.4 times. The overall reserve coverage ratio of total reserve for expected credit losses to total Commercial Portfolio ending balances was 1.33% (-5 bps quarter-on-quarter; +11 bps year-on-year), after the reduction of $5.8 million in reserves (representing 6 bps of reserve coverage ratio) from charge-offs due to loan reclassifications ($2.7 million), and to a local regulatory requirement regarding aged NPL exposures ($3.1 million).

The reserve for expected credit losses on loan and off-balance sheet credit risk totaled $95.4 million as of December 31, 2015, a $3.2 million quarter-on-quarter decrease and a $7.6 million year-on-year increase, mainly as the net result of higher provision to specific loan loss reserves assigned to NPL, reflecting the status of ongoing restructuring efforts, and the reduction of reserves from charge-offs in the fourth quarter 2015.
