FINANCIAL & BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
•Record annual Net Profits of $205.9 million in FY24 (+24% YoY), fostered by higher total revenues (+14% YoY), strong efficiency levels and contained credit costs. These remarkable results boosted the Bank’s Return on Equity (“ROE”) to 16.2% in FY24 (+153 bps YoY).
•Strong quarterly profitability, with $51.5 million Net Profit (+11% YoY), enhanced by improved top line performance, reaching an annualized ROE of 15.5% in 4Q24 (stable YoY).
•Record Level Net Interest Income (“NII”) of $66.9 million in 4Q24 (+2% YoY) and $259.2 million in FY24 (+11% YoY) mainly driven by a constant increase in business volumes throughout the year. Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) remained relatively stable at 2.47% in FY24 and stood at 2.44% in 4Q24.
•Solid Fee Income of $11.9 million for 4Q24 (+18% YoY), totaling an annual record of $44.4 million for FY24 (+37% YoY), stemming from the continued cross-sell efforts, streamlined processes, the successful execution of structuring transactions and the enhancement of the Bank’s Project Finance business.
•Efficiency Ratio stood at 29.2% for 4Q24, and 26.5% for FY24, as higher total revenues overcompensated for the increase in operating expenses (+7% YoY in 4Q24; +11% YoY in FY24), mostly associated with higher personnel expenses and other expenses resulting from strategy execution.
•New all-time high Credit Portfolio at $11,224 million as of December 31, 2024 (+18% YoY).
◦Commercial Portfolio EoP balances also reached a new record level of $10,035 million at the end of 4Q24 (+18% YoY), denoting higher lending volumes on continued demand and business growth from new client onboarding.

•Expanding deposit base, reaching $5,413 million at the end of 4Q24 (+23% YoY), representing 54% of the Bank’s total funding sources. The Bank also counts on ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets.
•Liquidity position at $1,918 million, or 16% of total assets as of December 31, 2024, mainly consisting of deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (53%) and highly rated U.S. banks (33%).
•The Bank´s Tier 1 Basel III Capital and Regulatory Capital Adequacy Ratios stood at 15.5% and 13.6%, respectively, enhanced by strong earnings generation and within the Bank’s risk appetite.

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 outstanding (or the “Loan Portfolio”), amounted to $8,375 million at the end of 4Q24, increasing 4% QoQ and 16% YoY, denoting continued demand and business growth from new client onboarding and product cross-selling. In addition, contingencies and acceptances amounted to $1,659 million at the end of 4Q24 (+4% QoQ; +25% YoY).

screenshot2025-02x28111355.jpg

Consequently, the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio reached an all-time high of $10,035 million at the end of 4Q24, increasing 4% from $9,673 million in the prior quarter and increasing 18% from $8,521 million a year ago. In addition, the average Commercial Portfolio balance increased to $9,623 million in 4Q24 (+5% QoQ and +13% YoY) and to $9,046 million in FY24 (+12% YoY).

As of December 31, 2024, 73% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year and trade finance transactions accounted for 58% of the Bank’s short-term original book.

Weighted average lending rates stood at 7.90% in 4Q24 (-54bps QoQ; -84bps YoY) and 8.33% in FY24 (+14bps YoY), reflecting USD market-based interest rates reductions during the second half of the year.

Bladex’s maintains well-diversified exposures across countries and industries. Brazil at 14% of the total Commercial Portfolio, continues to represent the largest country-risk exposure, followed by Mexico at 12%, Guatemala at 11% and Colombia and the Dominican Republic at 10% each. Exposure to top-rated countries outside of Latin America, which relates to transactions carried out in the Region, represented 8% of the portfolio at the end of 4Q24. As of December 31, 2024, 40% of the Commercial Portfolio was geographically distributed in investment grade countries.

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 11%. Exposure to corporates accounted for the remainder 53% of the Commercial Portfolio, comprised of top-tier clients well diversified across sectors, with the most significant exposures in Electric Power at 10%, Food and Beverage at 8% and Other Manufacturing Industries, Oil & Gas (Downstream) and Oil & Gas (Integrated), each at 5% of the Commercial Portfolio at the end of 4Q24.

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

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 loans measured at FVTPL; (v) reversal (provision) for credit losses; and (vi) direct and allocated operating expenses.

Commercial Segment Profit totaled $49.5 million in 4Q24 (stable QoQ and +19% YoY) and $194.5 million in FY24 (+27% YoY). The Commercial Segment results were mostly driven by improved top line performance in NII and fee income generation, offsetting provision requirements that resulted from increased Commercial Portfolio balances and higher operating expenses due to increased headcount and the implementation of strategic initiatives.


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”). 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.


Liquidity

The Bank’s liquid assets, mostly consisting of cash and due from banks, totaled $1,918 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $1,708 million as of September 30, 2024, and $1,999 million as of December 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 16%, 15% and 19%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 35%, 30% and 45%, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, 53% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FED”), and 33% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with highly rated U.S. banks.

Investment Portfolio

The Investment Portfolio, aimed to further diversify credit-risk exposures and provide contingent liquidity funding, amounted to $1,189 million in principal amount as of December 31, 2024, down 1% from the previous quarter and up 18% from a year ago. 85% of the Investment Portfolio consists of investment-grade credit securities eligible for the FED discount window, and $99 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 X for a per-country risk distribution of the Investment Portfolio.

Funding

The Bank’s principal sources of funds are deposits, borrowed funds and floating and fixed rate debt placements. As of December 31, 2024, total net funding amounted to $9,978 million, a 4% increase compared to $9,556 million a quarter ago, and a 10% increase compared to $9,070 million a year ago, as the Bank’s ongoing strategic initiative further enhanced its deposit base.

The Bank obtains deposits from central banks, as well as from multilaterals and commercial banks and corporations primarily located in the Region. Total deposits amounted to $5,413 million at the end of 4Q24 (-4% QoQ and +23% YoY), representing 54% of total funding sources, compared to 49% a year ago, reflecting the change in the funding structure towards increased reliance in deposits.

As of December 31, 2024, the Bank’s Yankee CD program totaled $1,208 million, or 12% of total funding sources, providing granularity and 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 38% of total deposits at the end of 4Q24.screenshot2025-02x28111552.jpg
Funding through short- and medium-term borrowings and debt, net increased 22% QoQ and remained stable YoY to $4,352 million at year-end 2024. This ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets is clearly evidenced through public debt issuances in Mexico, Panama and the United States, coupled with private debt issuances placed in different markets primarily in Asia, Europe and Latin America. Funding through securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”) reached $213 million at the end of 4Q24 (-39% QoQ; -31% YoY).

The Bank's funding sources are well diversified across geographies and currencies. In addition, the Bank has no significant foreign exchange risk, nor does it hold material open foreign exchange positions. Funding obtained in other currencies is hedged with derivatives in order to avoid any currency mismatch.
screenshot2025-02x28111719.jpg
Weighted average funding costs resulted in 5.38% in 4Q24 (-33 bps QoQ; -35 bps YoY) and 5.61% in FY24 (+31 bps), mostly reflecting the market interest rates reductions during the second half of the year.


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.

Profit for the segment $ 2.0  $ 3.2  $ 4.8  -39  % -59  % $ 11.4  $ 12.7  -10  %

The Treasury Business Segment recorded a $2.0 million profit for 4Q24 (-39% QoQ; -59% YoY) and $11.4 million profit for FY24 (-10% YoY). The Treasury’s quarterly and yearly net profit decreases mainly resulted from lower total revenues driven by other expenses mostly related to its hedging derivatives position in 4Q24, along with higher operating expenses. These effects were partially offset by reversals of provisions for credit losses due to increased investment-grade credit securities.

Net Interest Margin ("NIM") 2.44  % 2.55  % 2.62  % 2.47  % 2.49  %
Quarterly NII remained relatively stable QoQ and increased 2% YoY to $66.9 million in 4Q24. For the year 2024, NII increased 11% to $259.2 million. The improved NII levels denote a constant increase in business volumes throughout the year, supported by new client on-boarding and cross-selling efforts, together with a higher deposit base allowing for an efficient cost of funds. All of these were partly offset by the effect of USD market interest rates reductions during the second half of the year coupled with increased USD market liquidity towards the end of the year. As a result, NIM decreased to 2.44% in 4Q24 (-11 bps QoQ; -18 bps YoY), while it remained relatively stable at 2.47% in FY24 (-2 bps YoY).



FEES AND COMMISSIONS
Fees and Commissions, net, include revenues associated with the letter of credit business and guarantees, credit commitments, loan structuring and syndication, loan intermediation and distribution in the primary market, and other commissions, net of fee expenses.

Fees and Commissions, net, resulted in $11.9 million in 4Q24 (+13% QoQ; +18% YoY) and $44.4 million in FY24 (+37% YoY). The quarterly results were mostly driven by the increase in activity from the Bank’s loan syndication desk, as well as solid fees from our off-balance sheet business (letters of credit and commitments). The yearly increase was driven by stronger fees in each of the Bank’s business lines, stemming from the continued addition of new clients, streamlined processes and the capture of profitable transactional opportunities.

As of December 31, 2024, impaired credits (Stage 3) remained at $17 million, or 0.2% of total Credit Portfolio, with ample reserve coverage, compared to $17 million in the previous quarter and $10 million a year ago. Total allowance for credit losses to impaired credits resulted in 5.0 times. Credits categorized as Stage 1 or low-risk credits under IFRS 9 accounted for 96.4% of total credits, while Stage 2 credits represented 3.5% of total credits.

Operating expenses totaled $22.9 million in 4Q24 (+9% QoQ; +7% YoY) and $80.5 million in FY24 (+11% YoY). Overall expense increases were mostly associated with higher personnel expenses from increased headcount aimed at enhancing business volumes and strengthening the Bank’s strategy execution capabilities, and other expenses resulting from ongoing investments in technology and business initiatives related to strategy execution.

The Efficiency Ratio stood at 29.2% in 4Q24, compared to 27.1% in 3Q24 and 27.6% a year ago, denoting an annual increase and seasonally higher expenses at year-end. The Efficiency Ratio for FY24 improved to 26.5%, compared to 27.2% a year ago, as the 14% increase in total revenues overcompensated the 11% increase in operating expenses throughout the year.
