BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

• Bladex’s Profit for 4Q21 totaled $20.1 million (+28% QoQ; +27% YoY), as Net Interest Income (“NII”) and fee income improved, and operating expenses remained relatively stable.

• The Bank’s Profit for FY21 reached $62.7 million, nearly stable versus FY20 (-1% YoY), as higher top-line revenues (up 5% YoY) from net positive effect in volumes, and increased fee income generation (+76% YoY), nearly offset the impact of lower market rates, higher credit provision charges mainly associated to the Bank’s credit growth, and increased operating expenses back to pre-pandemic levels.

• NII continued its quarterly growth trend, up 12% QoQ and 11% YoY, to $24.8 million for 4Q21, mainly driven by an improved portfolio mix with higher average lending and investment volumes and higher lending spreads. FY21 NII was down 6% YoY due to the net rate effect of lower market base rates on the Bank’s assets and liabilities, partly offset by higher average credit portfolio balances and improved interest-earning assets mix.

• Fees and commissions income increased 31% QoQ and 123% to $6.2 million in 4Q21, and up 76% YoY to $18.3 million for FY21, due to the improved activity in its transaction-based structuring and syndications business and sustained results in the Bank’s letters of credit business.

• The Bank’s Credit Portfolio continued its quarterly growth trend (+6% QoQ and +24% YoY) to reach $7.4 billion as of December 31, 2021, propelled by higher lending origination (+29% QoQ; +80% YoY) and a threefold YoY increase in its portfolio of credit investment securities to complement the Bank’s lending business.

• The solid Commercial Portfolio’s growth trend, reaching $6.5 billion at 4Q21 (+6% QoQ; +18% YoY), remained centered on diversification across the Region and high-quality borrowers, evidenced by the successful collection of all scheduled loan maturities, as well as the short-term nature of its business (75% maturing in less than a year).

• Bladex’s asset quality remained pristine with credit-impaired loans (“NPLs”) unchanged at $11 million or 0.2% of total Loan Portfolio as of December 31, 2021. Credits categorized as Stage 2 under IFRS 9 (with increased risk since origination) represented 2% of total credits, down from 3% and 6% a quarter and year ago, respectively, with the remaining 98% categorized as Stage 1 or low-risk credits.

• As of December 31, 2021, the total allowance for credit losses increased to $47.1 million, representing 4.4 times NPL balances. Provision for credit losses of $2.3 million in FY21 was mostly associated to the Bank’s credit growth.

• Bladex´s liquidity position stood at $1.4 billion, or 17% of total assets as of December 31, 2021, led by its resilient level of deposits and well diversified funding structure, favoring its ample access to capital markets.

• As of December 31, 2021, the Bank´s capitalization remained solid with a Tier 1 Basel III Capital Ratio of 19.1% and a Regulatory Capital Adequacy Ratio of 15.6%. Equity levels were down (-2% QoQ; -4% YoY) mainly due to the completion of the Bank’s open market stock repurchase program for a total of $60 million, under which 3.6 million shares were repurchased at a volume-weighted average price per share of $16.86, since its launching in mid-May of 2021.

CEO’s Comments

Mr. Jorge Salas, Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer said: “Fourth quarter results have been the best since the onset of the pandemic. Top-line revenues were positively impacted by higher lending spreads and volumes, coupled with a solid performance in fee income, having consolidated the reactivation of our syndication business with two new structured transactions closed during the quarter and a record-year performance in our letters of credit business. Meanwhile, operating expenses and credit quality remained under control.”

Mr. Salas added: “Our Credit Portfolio continued its growth trend for the sixth consecutive quarter, as disbursements reached their highest level in more than three years, and the investment portfolio increased by another 10%. Overall, interest-earning assets surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 9%, financed by a stable and well diversified funding base. During the fourth quarter, Bladex successfully completed a new debt placement in the Mexican market for MXN 3,000 million (approximately USD 150 million), which was considerably oversubscribed and followed by a reopening for a similar amount in late January of 2022. The Bank remains very active in the global debt/syndicated and capital markets; with these resources Bladex is well prepared to satisfy the needs of its client base while maintaining a cost-efficient and resilient funding base.”

Mr. Salas concluded: “During the quarter, Bladex completed its open market stock repurchase program for a total of $60 million, through which a total of 3.6 million Class E common shares were repurchased at prevailing market prices. In addition, the Board recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, representing 46% of fourth quarter earnings. Solid capitalization continues to be a fundamental component for the Bank’s future growth opportunities in a post-pandemic environment. Looking ahead, we cautiously believe Bladex is positioned to tackle the current environment, particularly as it relates to raising interest rates both in the U.S. and in the Latin American Region.”

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Bank’s activities are managed and executed through two business segments, Commercial and Treasury. Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Business segment results are 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.

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.

Bladex’s high-quality and diversified Commercial Portfolio maintained its persistent quarterly growth trend, reaching $6.5 billion at the end of 4Q21, a 6% QoQ increase compared to $6.2 billion a quarter ago, and a 18% YoY increase compared to $5.6 billion a year ago. On an average basis, Commercial Portfolio balances reached $6.2 billion for the 4Q21 (+4% QoQ; +20% YoY) and $5.9 billion for FY21 (+10% YoY). The increased levels of EoP balances and average volumes were driven by higher lending origination (+29% QoQ; +80% YoY), as the Bank continues to collect all scheduled loan maturities, evidencing the high quality of the Bank’s borrower base and short-term nature of its business.

As of December 31, 2021, 75% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year, down 2 pp compared from the previous quarter and stable from a year ago. Trade finance transactions represented 64% of the short-term origination, down 5 pp compared to a quarter ago and up 7 pp compared to a year ago.

The following graphs illustrate the geographic distribution of the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio, highlighting the portfolio´s risk diversification by country and across industry segments, as of December 31, 2021:

Bladex’s credit quality remains sound with a well-diversified exposure across countries. As of December 31, 2021, 43% of the Commercial Portfolio was geographically distributed in investment grade countries, down 3 pp from the previous quarter, but still centered on preserving sound credit quality through well diversified exposures with top-tier clients across the Region, and down 16 pp from a year ago, which is mostly explained by the Bank´s conservative decision to classify Colombia as non-investment grade following the downgrades by two of the three main credit rating agencies. Brazil continues to represent the largest country-risk exposure at 17% of the total Commercial Portfolio, of which 75% was with financial institutions. Other relevant country-risk exposures were Colombia at 13% and investment grade countries such as Mexico at 11%, Chile at 10% and top-rated countries outside of Latin America (which relates to transactions carried out in Latin America) at 8% of the total portfolio.

The Commercial Portfolio by industries also remained well-diversified and focused on high quality borrowers, as exposure to the Bank’s traditional client base of financial institutions represented 48% of the total Commercial Portfolio, and exposure to sovereign and state-owned corporations remained at 17% of the total portfolio at the end of 4Q21. The remaining of the portfolio comprises top tier corporates throughout the Region, well diversified across sectors, in which most industries represented 5% or less of the total Commercial Portfolio, except for certain sectors that the Bank considers strategic supported by higher commodity prices and LatAm trade flows, such as Oil & Gas (Downstream) at 11% and Electric power, Metal manufacturing and Food and beverage, each at 6% of the Commercial Portfolio at the end of 4Q21.

Refer to Exhibit IX for additional information related to the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio distribution by country, and Exhibit XI for the Bank’s distribution of loan disbursements by country.

The Commercial Business Segment’s Profit was $22.5 million for 4Q21 (+22% QoQ; +32% YoY). The increases were mostly attributable to improved total revenues (+14% QoQ; +23% YoY) on higher NII mainly driven by an improved portfolio mix with higher average lending and investment volumes and higher lending spreads, coupled with the improved activity in its transaction-based structuring and syndications business and the sustained results in the Bank’s letters of credit business. In addition, the Commercial Business reported a $0.7 million gain on non-financial assets in 4Q21, resulting from the renegotiation of the Bank’s Head Office lease agreement.

FY21 Commercial Business Segment’s Profit totaled $71.9 million (+2% YoY), as the more than doubled other income (+123% YoY) on increased fees and commissions income from the Bank’s improved transaction-based structuring and syndications activity (+$3.7 million) and strong letters of credit business (+35% YoY), offset the 5% YoY decrease in NII primarily impacted by lower market base rates, and the $1.1 million provision charge for credit losses associated to portfolio growth, which compares to $1.9 million reversals in FY20.

TREASURY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Treasury Business Segment focuses on managing the Bank’s investment portfolio and the overall structure of its assets and liabilities to achieve more efficient funding and liquidity positions for the Bank, 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 above ‘A-‘, and financial instruments related to the investment management activities, consisting of securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and securities at amortized cost (the “Investment Portfolio”). The Treasury Business Segment also manages the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities, which constitute its funding sources, mainly deposits, short- and long-term borrowings and debt.

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.

The Bank’s liquid assets, mostly consisting of cash and due from banks, as well as highly rated corporate debt securities (above ‘A-‘) aimed to enhance liquidity yields, totaled $1.4 billion at the end of 4Q21, up from $0.8 billion a quarter ago and $1.0 billion a year ago, as the Bank increased its liquidity position led by its resilient level of deposits and well diversified funding structure, favoring most recently its ample access to capital markets. As of December 31, 2021, $1,201 million, or 86% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, while $194 million, or 14% of total liquid assets represented corporate debt securities classified as high quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) in accordance with the specifications of the Basel Committee. As of the end of 4Q21, 3Q21, and 4Q20, liquidity balances to total assets represented 17%, 12% and 17%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 46%, 24% and 33%, respectively.

The credit investment portfolio, related to the Treasury’s investment management activities aimed to complement the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio, increased to $631 million at the end of 4Q21, a 10% increase compared to $573 million a quarter ago and more than three times higher compared to $193 million a year ago. Consequently, the Bank’s total Investment Portfolio amounted to $825 million as of December 31, 2021, mostly consisting of readily-quoted U.S., Latin American and Multilateral securities, up 7% from $768 million a quarter ago, and more than two times higher from $395 million a year ago. Refer to Exhibit X for a per-country risk distribution of the Investment Portfolio.

On the funding side, deposit balances remained above $3.0 billion at the end of 4Q21, but down 10% QoQ and 3% YoY. The resilient level and importance of the Bank’s deposit base enhances the significance of its Yankee CD program, which complements the short-term funding structure, and the steady support from the Bank’s Class A shareholders (i.e.: central banks and their designees), which represented 49% of total deposits at the end of 4Q21, compared to 47% and 50% of total deposits a quarter and year ago, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, total deposits represented 45% of total funding sources, compared to 60% the previous quarter and 61% a year ago, as the Bank relies on its well diversified funding structure, and most recently favoring its ample access to capital markets. In turn, funding through securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”) increased to $428 million at the end of 4Q21 (+29% QoQ and +$417 million YoY), and short- and medium-term borrowings and debt totaled $3.3 billion at the end of 4Q21 (+69% QoQ and +67% YoY). Weighted average funding costs resulted in 0.95% for 4Q21 (+5 bps QoQ; -16 bps YoY) and 0.96% in FY21 (-63 bps YoY). The quarterly increase is mostly attributed to higher borrowings and debt average balances, while the year-to-date funding cost reduction continued benefiting from the impact of lower market rates, as well as lower spreads paid on funding.

for the segment | $ (2.5 | ) | $ (2.7 | ) | $ (1.3 | ) | 10 % | -87 % | $ (9.2 | ) | $ (7.1 | ) | -30 % |

The Treasury Business Segment’s results were a $2.5 million loss for 4Q21 (+10% QoQ; -87% YoY) and a $9.2 million loss for FY21 (-30% YoY). 4Q21 loss was mainly impacted by higher losses from financial instruments related to ineffectiveness from its hedging derivatives position. Annual FY21 loss was mainly associated to lower NII on lower market base rates and a conservative liquidity gap position, and higher provision for credit losses due to the significant increase in the Investment Portfolio.

Interest Margin ("NIM") | 1.42 | % | 1.33 | % | 1.37 | % | 7 % | 4 % | 1.32 | % | 1.41 | % | -7 % |

NII totaled $24.8 million for 4Q21 (+12% QoQ; +11% YoY), mainly driven by an improved portfolio mix with higher average lending and investment volumes, with reduced cash levels, and a quarterly net positive rate effect, mainly on higher average lending rates (+14 bps QoQ).

For FY21, NII decreased 6% YoY to $86.8 million, due to the net rate effect of lower market base rates on the Bank’s assets and liabilities, partly offset by higher average credit portfolio balances and improved interest-earning assets mix – with increased average loans and investments and decreased low-yielding average liquidity balances, with cash balances mostly invested in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Fees and Commissions income increased to $6.2 million for 4Q21 (+31% QoQ and +123% YoY) and to $18.3 million for the FY21 (+76%), as the Bank experienced improved activity in its transaction-based structuring and syndications business, coupled with the sustained results in the Bank’s letters of credit business.

As of December 31, 2021, the total allowance for credit losses increased to $47.1 million, representing a coverage ratio to the Credit Portfolio of 0.6%, compared to $46.9 million, or 0.7%, at the end of 3Q21 and compared to $44.6 million, or 0.7%, at the end of 4Q20. The allowance increase was mostly related to provisions for credit losses associated to the growth of the Credit Portfolio, as balances increased 6% QoQ and 24% YoY at the end of 4Q21.

The Bank’s asset quality remained pristine with credit-impaired loans (“NPL”) unchanged at $11 million, or 0.2% of the total Loan Portfolio as of December 31, 2021. Credits categorized as Stage 2 under IFRS 9 (with increased risk since origination) represented 2% of total credits, down from 3% and 6% a quarter and year ago, respectively, with the remaining 98% categorized as Stage 1 or low-risk credits.

The Bank’s 4Q21 and FY21 operating expenses totaled $10.3 million (stable QoQ; +2% YoY) and $39.9 million (+7% YoY), respectively. The YoY increases were mostly related to reduced expenses in the comparable periods, as cost saving measures were implemented at the onset of Covid-19.

The Bank’s Efficiency Ratio improved to 34.6% in 4Q21, due to higher total revenues, as operating expenses remained stable. FY21 Efficiency Ratio stood at 38.3%, compared to 37.6% a year ago, as the 5% improvement in total revenues was offset by the 7% increase in operating expenses back to pre-pandemic levels.

The Bank’s equity consists entirely of issued and fully paid ordinary common stock. As of December 31, 2021, the Bank’s common shares outstanding decreased 5% QoQ and 9% YoY to 36.2 million, mainly due to the completion of the Bank’s open market stock repurchase program for a total of $60 million, under which 3.6 million shares repurchased at a volume-weighted average price per share of $16.86, since its launching in mid-May of 2021. Consequently, the Bank’s total equity also decreased 2% QoQ and 4% YoY to reach $992 million as of December 31, 2021.
