BLADEX’S SECOND QUARTER 2016 NET PROFIT TOTALED $22.3 MILLION, OR $0.57 PER SHARE, A 65% INCREASE YoY AND 5% DECREASE QoQ. HALF-YEAR 2016 NET BUSINESS PROFIT REACHED $50.2 MILLION (+15% YoY), OR $1.28 PER SHARE, ON HIGHER TOTAL INCOME, CREDIT PROVISIONS AND IMPROVED EFFICIENCY

 

PANAMA CITY, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, July 26, 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 second quarter (“2Q16”) and half-year (“1H16” or “6M16”) ended June 30, 2016.

 

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”). Financial data as of June 30, 2015 (“2Q15” and “1H15” or “6M15”) has also been prepared in accordance with IFRS to allow year-on-year comparisons.

 

2Q16 and 1H16 Highlights

 

Reported results:

·Bladex’s 2Q16 Net Profit totaled $22.3 million (+65% YoY, -5% QoQ) on robust net interest income (+10% YoY, -3% QoQ), increased fees and other income (+43% YoY, +87% QoQ), and improved efficiency through lower operating expenses (-21% YoY, -19% QoQ), offsetting higher provisions for impairment from allowance for credit losses. In the 2Q16, the Bank’s results also benefited from the divestment of its remaining participation in the investment funds effective April 1st, 2016, with a residual gain of $0.2 million recorded for the quarter, compared to losses from its participation in the investment funds recorded during the comparison quarters.
·The Bank’s 1H16 Net Profit totaled $45.7 million (+5% YoY), as Business Profit of $50.2 million improved (+15% YoY) mainly from higher net interest income (+10% YoY), increased fees and other income (+26%), and lower operating expenses (-13% YoY), compensating non-core losses from the participation in investments funds of $4.4 million, and higher provisions for impairment from allowance for credit losses of $13.3 million.
·2Q16 and 1H16 net interest income reached $38.2 million (+10% YoY, -3% QoQ) and $77.7 million (+10% YoY), respectively, on higher Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) of 2.06% for both 2Q16 and 1H16 (+27 bps YoY, unchanged QoQ for 2Q16; +24 bps YoY for 1H16), mainly reflecting higher lending spreads and increased market rates, which more than offset the effects of lower average lending balances (-3% YoY, -2% QoQ).
·Fees and other income totaled $5.3 million in the 2Q16 (+43% YoY, +87% QoQ), as five transactions in the loan structuring and syndication business were completed during 2Q16. Year-to-date 2016, fees and other income reached $8.1 million (+26% YoY).

 

 

 

 

Key performance metrics:

·The Bank’s 1H16 Business and Total Annualized Return on Average Equity (“ROAE”) reached 10.3% and 9.4%, respectively, compared to Business and Total ROAE of 9.4% in 1H15. 2Q16 Business and Total annualized ROAE reached 9.0% and 9.1%, respectively.
·The Bank’s 1H16 Business Efficiency Ratio and Total Efficiency Ratio improved to 26% (-7 pts. YoY) and 28% (-5 pts. YoY), respectively, on higher total income (+4% YoY) and lower operating expenses (-13% YoY), mainly reflecting decreased performance-related compensation expense. 2Q16 Business Efficiency and Total Efficiency Ratios improved to 22% (-11 pts. YoY, -8 pts. QoQ), and 23% (-12 pts. YoY, -10 pts. QoQ), respectively.
·The Bank maintained solid capitalization with a 15.6% Tier 1 Basel III ratio as of June 30, 2016, together with high levels of liquidity, in response to heightened market volatility.

Commercial Portfolio & Quality:

·As of June 30, 2016, end-of-period Commercial Portfolio balances stood at $6.8 billion (-2% QoQ, -9% YoY), while 2Q16 and 1H16 average balances were $6.7 billion (-3% QoQ; -4% YoY), and $6.9 billion (-3% YoY), respectively, while net lending margins remained relatively stable QoQ and trended upward YoY. The Bank continues to rebalance its credit exposure profile, emphasizing short-term trade finance exposures, along with reducing certain country, industry and client risk concentrations.
·The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to total Commercial Portfolio ending balances increased to 1.60% (+20 bps QoQ, +30 bps YoY) mainly to account for expected credit losses regarding certain exposures undergoing restructuring efforts, and in one isolated case, undergoing recovery efforts. Consequently, non-performing loans (“NPL”) increased to 1.30% of the total Loan Portfolio as of June 30, 2016, compared to 0.43% a quarter ago and 0.30% a year ago.

CEO's Comments

 

Mr. Rubens V. Amaral Jr., Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the Bank’s 2Q16 results: “Core operating trends were reasonably strong during the second quarter in a business environment that continues to be challenging. Average quarterly portfolio balances declined on lower off-balance sheet portfolio balances, with strong loan disbursement growth offset by prepayments, but lending margins remained at robust levels, reinforcing the Bank’s earnings generation capacity. Top line revenues, aided by solid fee income growth were higher both on a quarter-on-quarter and year-to-date basis. Our origination is well diversified across the Region, and the short duration of our exposures allows the Bank to proactively adjust the portfolio mix according to the prevailing market conditions. This quarter saw us continuing to shrink the exposure profile in Brazil, not just in relative, but also in absolute terms as the recessionary trend continues in that country, while partially compensating with growth in other parts of the Region. We also increased our efforts to steer origination towards short-term trade exposures, which represent higher quality risk, albeit at lower margins. We are convinced this emphasis is conducive to asset growth during the remainder of the year and accelerates our focus on ensuring better overall returns, deploying our capital more efficiently.

As we continue to face disparate growth patterns and overall higher levels of volatility in the markets, it is not surprising to see an increase in liability restructuring negotiations and work-out arrangements sought by debtors over the last few quarters, and we are working diligently to mitigate the impact from these adverse market conditions in certain countries and industry sectors for these clients. While the number and amount of these exposures remain relatively small in relation to the overall portfolio, we do take them very seriously nonetheless, as the size, nature and relative importance of these debtors in their respective market segments require close coordination with multiple creditors. On the backdrop of strong core business performance for the year so far, we have strengthened reserves significantly this quarter to reflect the more advanced stages of delinquency in these few cases due to complex, and thus protracted negotiations with the debtors. We believe the reserve levels accurately reflect the expected outcomes of ongoing restructuring and recovery efforts, but stand ready to adjust these levels should expectations be revised upwards or downwards as efforts progress. Meanwhile, the work-out arrangements concluded in prior quarters continue to perform even better as anticipated, as underlying commodity prices stabilized in hard-hit sectors such as Oil & Gas and Sugar.

 

While commission income from the letters of credit business remained stable, albeit below historical levels this quarter, on account of limited demand from importers in the Southern Cone and Andean regions, the pick-up of fee income in our structuring and syndication business did materialize as previously anticipated, with a number of successfully concluded transactions, to which we have already added another completed transaction early in the third quarter. The pipeline of mandated structured transactions continues to look strong, and we maintain our positive outlook for the remainder of the year for this line of business.

 

Bladex has reached a scale in business operations and efficiency that allows the Bank to absorb the effects of a challenging business environment while still maintaining profitability and returns. Additionally, the exit from the participation in investment funds early in this quarter has removed a significant element of market risk volatility, allowing us to squarely focus on what we know best – credit risk. Our diversified portfolio approach not only allows us to mitigate the impacts of current market conditions, but also to take advantage of them, and we are determined to keep the course in the coming quarters.” Mr. Amaral concluded.

 

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Bank’s activities are managed and executed in two business segments, Commercial and Treasury. The business segment results are determined based on the Bank’s managerial accounting process as defined by IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, which assigns consolidated statement of financial positions, 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 relating to the Commercial Portfolio’s activities. These activities include the origination of bilateral and syndicated credits, short-term and medium-term loans, customers’ liabilities under acceptances, and off-balance sheet instruments. Profits from the Commercial Business Segment include (i) net interest income from loans; (ii) fees and other income from the issuance, confirmation and negotiation of letters of credit, guarantees and loan commitments, and through loan structuring and syndication activities; (iii) gain on sale of loans generated by other loan intermediation activities, such as sales in the secondary market and distribution in the primary market; (iv) impairment loss (gain) from expected credit losses on loans at amortized cost and off-balance sheet instruments; and (v) allocated operating expenses.

 

The Commercial Portfolio includes gross loans at amortized cost, customers’ liabilities under acceptances, off-balance sheet instruments such as confirmed and stand-by letters of credit, credit commitments, and guarantees covering commercial risk, and an equity investment.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the Commercial Portfolio balances stood at $6.8 billion, 2% lower compared to $6.9 billion a quarter ago and 9% lower versus $7.4 billion a year ago, as off-balance sheet portfolio balances decreased, and increased loan disbursements were largely offset by prepayments during the quarter, while net lending margins remained at robust levels, supporting income generation. The Bank accelerated its emphasis on origination of short-term trade finance exposures, together with reducing certain country, industry and client risk concentrations. On an average basis, Commercial Portfolio balances reached $6.9 billion in the first 6M16, down 3% compared to the $7.1 billion during the same period 2015, while 2Q16 average balance was $6.7 billion, down 3% from the previous quarter and 4% from the 2Q15.

The Commercial Portfolio continued to be short-term and trade-related in nature. As of June 30, 2016, $5.0 billion, or 74%, of the Commercial Portfolio were scheduled to mature within one year. Trade finance operations represented 59% of the portfolio, while the remaining balance consisted primarily of lending to financial institutions and corporations engaged in foreign trade, generating hard currency.

2Q16 vs. 1Q16

The Commercial Business Segment’s Profit for the 2Q16 totaled $20.4 million, as the positive effects of (i) a $1.2 million, or 3%, increase in total income driven by the $2.1 million, or 76%, increase in net other income mainly from the completion of five transactions in the loan structuring and syndication business, and (ii) the $2.3 million, or 24%, decrease in allocated operating expenses as a result of lower performance-based compensation expense, were offset by (iii) higher provisions for impairment from expected credit losses in the Commercial Portfolio of $11.5 million compared to $1.2 million in the previous quarter, mainly to account for expected lifetime credit losses regarding certain credit exposures undergoing restructuring efforts.

 

2Q16 vs. 2Q15

The Segment’s quarterly Profit of $20.4 million represented a $4.7 million, or 30%, increase compared to $15.7 million in the 2Q15, as a result of: (i) a $5.5 million, or 16%, increase in total income driven by higher net interest income (+$4.1 million, or 14%) mainly from increased net lending margins offsetting lower average lending balances (-3%), and increased net other income (+$1.4 million, or 38%) from higher loan structuring and syndication fees, (ii) a $2.6 million, or 26%, decrease in operating expenses mainly due to lower performance-based compensation expense; partially offset by (iii) a $3.3 million, or 41%, increase in provisions for impairment from expected credit losses associated with the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio.

 

6M16 vs. 6M15

The Segment’s Profit for the first 6M16 totaled $47.6 million, a $8.7 million, or 22%, increase attributable to: (i) a $9.8 million, or 14%, increase in total income driven by higher net interest income (+$8.3 million, or 14%) reflecting higher net lending margins, which more than offset the effects of lower average lending balances (-3%), and increased net other income (+$1.5 million, or 24%) from higher loan structuring and syndication fees, (ii) a $3.4 million, or 17%, decrease in business allocated operating expenses mainly from lower performance-based compensation expense and professional services, as the Bank continues to focus on improving efficiencies; partially offset by (iii) a $4.5 million, or 54%, increase in provisions for impairment from expected credit losses associated with the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio.

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, as well as the management of the Bank’s interest rate, liquidity, price and currency risks. Interest-earning assets managed by the Treasury Business Segment include liquidity positions in cash and cash equivalents, and financial instruments related to the investment management activities, consisting of financial instruments at fair value through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) account (“OCI”) and securities at amortized cost. The Treasury Business Segment also incorporated the Bank’s net results from its participation in investment funds, which were shown in the other income line item “gain (loss) per financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss – investment funds”. The Bank’s commitment to remain as an investor in the investment funds expired on April 1st, 2016, date on which the Bank proceeded to redeem its entire remaining participation in the funds. The Treasury Business Segment also manages the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities which constitute its funding sources, namely: liability deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreement, and 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, as well as related net other income, including 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 fair value through OCI (“FVTOCI”), impairment loss from expected credit losses on investment securities, other income and allocated operating expenses.

 

The Bank’s liquid assets totaled $0.9 billion as of June 30, 2016, compared to $0.7 billion as of March 31, 2016, and $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2015, in response to heightened market volatility. As of these dates, the liquid assets to total assets ratio was 11.9%, 9.7%, and 11.6%, respectively, while the liquid assets to total deposits ratio was 28.3%, 24.2%, and 29.6%, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the portfolio of securities at FVTOCI totaled $75 million, compared to $174 million as of March 31, 2016, and $286 million as of June 30, 2015, as the Bank reduced its holdings in that category. The portfolio of securities at amortized cost stood at $104 million as of June 30, 2016, compared to $108 million as of March 31, 2016 and $63 million as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, both securities portfolios consisted of readily-quoted Latin American securities, 76% 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 $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2016, representing 48% of total liabilities, compared to $3.1 billion, or 46% of total liabilities as of March 31, 2016, and $3.2 billion, or 44% of total liabilities a year ago. The strong levels of deposits (+4% quarter-on-quarter, -1% year-on-year) allowed selective utilization of short-term bilateral sources of funding, which as of June 30, 2016, decreased 20% quarter-on-quarter and 46% year-on-year to reach $1.3 billion in short-term borrowings and debt, including Repos. Long-term borrowings and debt totaled $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2016, up 10% quarter-on-quarter and 29% from a year ago, as the Bank increased its stable base of longer-term funding through capital markets issuances, loan syndications and bilateral transactions. As a net result of increased market rates and stable average funding spreads, year-to-date weighted average funding cost increased 28 bps to reach 1.33% in the 1H16, while quarterly weighted average funding cost increased 9 bps quarter-on-quarter and 33 bps year-on-year to reach 1.38% in the 2Q16.

2Q16 vs. 1Q16

The Treasury Business Segment reported a Profit for the 2Q16 of $1.9 million compared to a Loss for the 1Q16 of $3.8 million, primarily attributable to the Bank’s former participation in the investment funds which was terminated on April 1st, 2016, with a residual gain of $0.2 million recorded in the 2Q16, compared to a $4.6 million loss from its former participation in the investment funds in the 1Q16, along with improved results from foreign currency exchange and financial instruments at FVTOCI.

 

2Q16 vs. 2Q15

The Segment’s $1.9 million Profit for the 2Q16, compared to a $2.2 million Loss for the 2Q15, was mainly the result of the swing in trading results from the Bank’s former participation in the investment funds, along with lower provisions for impairment from expected credit losses on investment securities during the 2Q16.

 

6M16 vs. 6M15

The Segment’s year-to-date 2016 Loss for the period of $1.9 million versus the $4.5 million Profit for the 1H15, was primarily driven by the swing in trading results from the Bank’s former participation in the investment funds, as well as losses from its derivative hedging positions and lower interest income from its investment securities portfolio during the 2Q16, as the Bank reduced its average portfolio balances by 34% YoY.

2Q16 vs. 1Q16

The Bank’s 2Q16 net interest income reached $38.2 million, a 3% decrease quarter-on-quarter, due to the net effect of lower average interest earning assets (-3%), mostly from lower average loan and investment securities balances, and decreased interest-bearing liabilities, while NIM remained stable at 2.06%.

 

2Q16 vs. 2Q15

Quarterly net interest income of $38.2 million increased 10% year-on-year, mostly due to higher NIM (+27pbs) reflecting higher net lending spreads and increased market rates, more than offsetting the effects of lower average interest-earning asset balances, mostly from lower average lending portfolio balances (-3%).

 

6M16 vs. 6M15

The Bank’s year-to-date 2016 net interest income reached $77.7 million, a 10% year-on-year increase, mainly driven by higher NIM (+24 bps) reflecting higher net lending spreads and increased market rates, which more than offset lower average interest-earning asset balances, mostly from average loan portfolio balances (-3%).

The $2.5 million, or 87% quarter-on-quarter increase was mostly driven by higher fee income in the structuring and distribution business from the completion of five transactions in the 2Q16, and higher net gains on sale of loans and other income. The $1.6 million, or 43%, year-on-year increase was the result of higher fees in the structuring and distribution business, along with higher other income, which more than offset lower commissions from the letters of credit and off-balance sheet business.

 

6M16 vs. 6M15

The Banks’ year-to-date 2016 fees and other income totaled $8.1 million, a $1.7 million, or 26%, year-on-year increase, as higher fees in the structuring and distribution business and other income, more than offset lower commissions from the letters of credit and off-balance sheet business mainly due to limited demand from importers in the Southern Cone and Andean regions.
