4Q16 and FY16 Highlights

Reported results:

Bladex’s FY16 Business Profit reached $91.5 million (-8% YoY), as the effects of a YoY increase in Net Interest Income and a YoY reduction in operating expenses were offset by provisions for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on certain exposures.

The Bank’s Profit for the year 2016 reached $87.0 million, or $2.23 EPS, compared to $104.0 million, or $2.67 EPS, in 2015, as a result of the discontinued non-core participation in the investment funds which were liquidated in April, 2016.

Bladex’s 4Q16 Profit totaled $13.3 million (-52% QoQ, -43% YoY), on $17.6 million in provisions recorded for ECL on loans, while Total Income and operating expenses remained relatively stable.

FY16 Net Interest Income (“NII”) amounted to $155.2 million (+7% YoY) on increased financial margins (NIM +24 bps YoY), mainly from growth in average lending rates (+53 bps YoY), which exceeded the impact of increased average rates on interest bearing liabilities (+31 bps YoY). 4Q16 NII & NIM reached $37.7 million (unchanged YoY, -5% QoQ) and 2.05% (+15 bps YoY, -8 bps QoQ), respectively, mainly driven by lower average portfolio balances and increased origination in shorter tenor trade exposures, respectively.

FY16 and 4Q16 Fees and Other Income totaled $16.5 million (-26% YoY), and $4.8 million (+32% QoQ, -38% YoY), respectively, mainly driven by YoY lower business activity in letters of credit, with improvement in 4Q16. Commissions from the syndications business were slightly lower YoY, with a greater number of completed transactions despite lower activity in the relevant Latin American debt capital markets.

Key performance metrics:

Overall Return on Average Equity (“ROAE”) reached 8.8% in 2016 vs. 11.0% in 2015, on largely stable total income and higher provisions for ECL and adverse non-core results, with the exclusion of non-core effects resulting in a more resilient Business ROAE performance of 9.2% in 2016 (-1.2 pts. YoY).

The FY16 Efficiency Ratio improved to 27% (-3 pts. YoY), as operating expenses decreased 12% while total income decreased 3%. The 4Q16 Efficiency Ratio stood at 28%.

The Tier 1 Basel III Capital Ratio strengthened to 17.9% at Y/E16, compared to 15.9% a quarter ago, and 16.1% a year ago, on increased capitalization and reduced risk-weighted assets reflecting lower portfolio balances.

Commercial Portfolio & Quality:

2016 average and EoP Commercial Portfolio balances reached $6.8 billion (-5% YoY), and $6.4 billion (-4% QoQ, -10% YoY), respectively, as the result of the Bank’s efforts to reduce certain country, industry and client risk concentrations, and continuing its focus on expanding its short-term trade finance book with more favorable risk-adjusted returns.

Non-performing loan (“NPL”) exposures amounted to $65.4 million, or 1.09% of gross loan portfolio at Y/E16, compared to $83.8 million, or 1.31%, a quarter ago, and $52.3 million, or 0.78%, at Y/E15. The coverage ratio of the total allowance for ECL to total Commercial Portfolio ending balances stood at 1.73% (+6 bps QoQ, +40 bps YoY), representing an amount equivalent to 1.7 times the NPL balances at Y/E16.

CEO’s Comments

Mr. Rubens V. Amaral Jr., Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the Bank’s 4Q16 and FY16 results: “2016 turned out to be a year of unexpected events impacting both the global economy in general and the Latin-American Region in particular. Our expectations of diverging growth paths in the Region certainly materialized with continued recessions in Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador limiting growth in South America, while growth north of the Panama Canal remained generally positive, albeit more subdued compared to prior years. Adding to these external factors, internally we continued to work towards greater diversification and lower concentration risk in our portfolio, given increased credit risk in the Region, by reducing exposures in countries like Brazil due to the prolonged recession, and sectors like upstream Oil & Gas to multi-year lows, while focusing on expanding our client base. On the back of profitability and risk/return analyses, we continued on our traditional short term trade finance, reinforcing Bladex´s core competencies.

All these external and internal factors translated to a more diversified book of business, but led to portfolio growth below our expectations. Nevertheless, we did manage to achieve levels we had not been able to attain in previous economic down-cycles of this magnitude, i.e.: earnings capacity and financial strength allowed us to be very selective with new business origination, leading to mitigated impact on both portfolio balances and profitability. Net revenues rose YoY despite lower average portfolio balances as the result of very focused asset & liability management aimed at on the liability side managing efficiently interest rate gap and increasing deposits, and on the asset side increasing spreads even as the overall tenor structure of the lending book moved towards the short end. Our syndication and loan structuring franchise continued to strengthen in a generally dismal year for debt capital markets in the Region. Expenses, excluding variable compensation, continued their sequential decline, reflecting continued efforts to improve and streamline internal processes, all the while investing in technology to enable further efficiencies down the road. Liquidity and Capitalization levels strengthened as well, as did the tenor structure and stability of our funding, with ever more diversified sources of funds.

One area where we have encountered more than expected headwinds, was the non-performing loan portfolio. Historically, and given the short-term, trade focused nature of our business, the Bank has not had significant, nor persistent levels of exposures in this category. In line with that track record, the number of problem exposures that we had identified early on over the 2015/2016 economic downturn in the Region continues to stay relatively confined to specific countries, industries and clients. However, the level of complexity of the required restructuring efforts, and the resulting deterioration of these exposures in terms of time to resolution, along with the associated loss expectations were indeed greater than expected, leading to reserve strengthening, and consequently, provision impact in the P&L. The Bank is aggressively managing each of these exposures with the appropriate urgency and diligence in order to achieve the best possible outcome. To this effect, the core responsibility to effectively manage credit risk is shared across the Bank by way of performance based goals and objectives, and is directly reflected in the way our variable performance based compensation framework works.

We enter 2017 cautiously optimistic and will continue to build on our fundamental strengths to achieve higher levels of profitability and performance. On the external front the Latin America Region is poised to improve its economic conditions with positive growth prospects across the different countries, but we remain alert for the different challenges arising from a potentially more protectionist environment in the developed world from the BREXIT in Europe and the new government in the United States. On the internal front we are confident that we are equipped to post continued solid results given the resilience of our business model which has been proven under different stress scenarios. We continue with a positive view towards portfolio growth in 2017, aiming to reverse a trend of declining balances over the last couple of years. Our target is to achieve portfolio growth of around 10% for the year, which should enable the Bank to deliver good results to our shareholders and investors, while developing an ever more relevant and solutions oriented business proposition for our clients.” 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 stemming from our syndications activities for corporations, financial institutions and investors in Latin America. These activities include the origination of bilateral and syndicated credits, short-term and medium-term loans, customers’ liabilities under acceptances, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. 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 from loan structuring and syndication activities; and (iii) gain on sale of loans generated through loan intermediation activities, such as sales in the secondary market and distribution in the primary market; (iv) impairment loss (recovery) from ECL on loans at amortized cost, and loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts; and (v) direct and allocated operating expenses.

The Bank’s “Commercial Portfolio” includes gross loans at amortized cost (or the “Loan Portfolio”), loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, such as confirmed commercial and stand-by letters of credit, and guarantees covering commercial risk; and other assets consisting of customers’ liabilities under acceptances, and an equity investment.

At Y/E 2016, the Commercial Portfolio stood at $6.4 billion, a $0.2 million, or 4%, decrease compared to $6.7 billion a quarter ago, and a $0.7 billion, or 10%, decrease compared to $7.2 billion at year-end 2015, as the Bank reduced certain country, industry and client risk concentrations in response to unfavorable market conditions affecting these markets, and its focus on expanding its short-term trade finance exposures with favorable risk-adjusted returns. The most significant portfolio reduction was in regards to Brazil credit exposures. Efforts to reduce concentration in that market commenced several years ago, and continued throughout 2016 with a $0.5 billion portfolio reduction bringing its weight down to 18% of the total Commercial Portfolio at Y/E 2016, compared to 23% at Y/E 2015, and compared to a peak of 47% in 2008.

On an average basis, Commercial Portfolio balances amounted to $6.8 billion in 2016, a $0.3 billion, or 5%, decrease year-on-year, compared to $7.1 billion in 2015. Similarly, 4Q16 average Commercial Portfolio balances reached $6.7 billion, down 2% quarter-on-quarter and 8% year-on-year, as the Bank focused on improving its portfolio risk adjusted returns, increasing lending margins and profitability and reducing portfolio concentration risk.

At Y/E 2016, 77%, of the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within one year, up from 75% a quarter ago and 72% a year ago. Trade finance operations represented 66% of the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio, compared to 61% and 56%, in the comparison periods respectively, while the remaining balance consisted primarily of lending to financial institutions and to corporations engaged in foreign trade.

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

4Q16 vs. 3Q16

The Commercial Business Segment Profit for 4Q16 totaled $12.5 million, a 53% quarterly decrease, mainly driven by the $18.0 million provision for impairment losses from ECL on the Commercial Portfolio, recorded in the quarter to account for individually assessed lifetime ECL on certain loan exposures undergoing restructuring and recovery efforts, compared to a $4.4 million impairment loss provision in the prior quarter. Total income during the 4Q16 remained stable QoQ at $39.7 million, as increased non-interest income (+22%), mostly from higher letter of credit activity, compensated lower net interest income (-2%), mainly attributable to lower average loan portfolio balances and lower lending margins reflecting the portfolio shift towards short-term trade lending. Operating expenses increased on seasonally higher allocated overhead expenses.

4Q16 vs. 4Q15

The Segment’s quarterly Profit variance was mostly driven by a $15.5 million increase in provisions for impairment loss from ECL in the Commercial Portfolio, to account for individually assessed lifetime ECL on selected loans. Total income reached $39.7 million, a 3% YoY decrease as higher net interest income (+4%) mainly from increased net lending yields, was offset by lower net other income from reduced fee income derived from the credit commitments, syndications business, and loan distribution activities in the secondary markets, while operating expenses decreased 9% mainly from lower performance-based variable compensation.

FY16 vs. FY15

The Commercial Business Segment’s profit reached $87.0 million in 2016, an $8.4 million, or 9%, decrease compared to $95.4 million in 2015, mainly as a result of provision for higher impairment loss from ECL totaling $35.1 million, compared to $12.8 million in 2015, mainly associated to individually assessed lifetime ECL on certain exposures undergoing restructuring and recovery efforts. Profits for the Commercial Business Segment were also impacted to a lesser extent by a $5.2 million decrease in net other income, mainly due to lower fees and commissions from reduced activity in letters of credit, financial guarantees and credit commitments. These factors were partially compensated by: (i) a $13.2 million, or 10%, increase in net interest income driven by higher net lending rates, which compensated the effects of lower average lending balances (-4% year-on-year), and (ii) a $5.8 million, or 14%, decrease in operating expenses mostly from lower performance-based variable compensation expense and cost savings in other expense categories.

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 profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account (“FVOCI”) and securities at amortized cost. The Treasury Business Segment also manages the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities which constitute its funding, mainly liability deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreement (“Repos”), 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, and related net other income (net results from derivative financial instruments and foreign currency exchange, gain (loss) per financial instruments at FVTPL, gain (loss) per financial instruments at FVOCI, and other income), impairment loss from ECL on investment securities, and direct and allocated operating expenses. Until the Bank´s exit from its participation in investment funds in 1H16, the Treasury Business Segment also incorporated the Bank’s non-core results from its participation, which were shown in the other income line item “gain (loss) per financial instruments at FVTPL”.

At Y/E 2016, treasury business assets totaled $1.2 billion, a $0.3 billion increase from a quarter ago on higher liquid assets, and a $0.4 billion, or 27%, decrease compared to $1.6 billion at year-end 2015, resulting from lower cash and cash equivalents balances, investment securities and the final redemption of the participation in the investment funds.

The Bank’s cash and cash equivalents holdings, most of which consisted of liquid assets proactively managed, totaled $1.1 billion at Y/E 2016, compared to $0.8 billion a quarter ago and $1.3 billion at Y/E 2015, largely in line with historical levels, and as the result of the requirements for internal liquidity management limits and policies based on the Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”). $0.6 billion, or 59%, of the Bank’s liquid assets were held in deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with the remainder held with other highly rated financial institutions. As of these dates, the liquid assets to total assets ratio was 14.0%, 9.9%, and 15.3%, respectively, while the liquid assets to total deposits ratio was 36.0%, 23.0%, and 45.3%, respectively.

Investment Securities Portfolio (at FVOCI and at amortized cost) decreased to $108 million, or 2%, of total assets, at Y/E 2016, from $145 million, or 2% of total assets a quarter ago, and $251 million, or 3% of total assets at Y/E 2015, as the Bank continued reducing its holdings in its securities portfolios to reduce market risk. The Investment Securities Portfolio consisted of readily-quoted Latin American securities, 90% 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 reached $2.8 billion at year-end 2016, down 10% from previous quarter and similar to 2015 levels, representing 45% of total liabilities, compared to 50% and 38%, respectively. At Y/E 2016, 77% of the deposits were placed by the central banks or designees (i.e.: Class A shareholders of the Bank), while 10% originated from private sector commercial banks and financial institutions, 7% from state-owned banks, and 6% from state-owned and private corporations. At Y/E 2016, short-term borrowings and debt, including Repos, totaled $1.5 billion, a 19% quarter-on-quarter increase and a 42% YoY decrease, while long-term borrowings and debt decreased 3% and 6%, respectively, to $1.8 billion at Y/E 2016, as the Bank relied primarily on deposits to cover its short-term funding needs, in response to the mix shift in the lending book moving towards shorter tenors, while still increasing overall funding stability with medium and long-term funding balances amounting to 29% of total funding in 2016, up from 26% in 2015. The weighted average funding cost for 2016 was 1.39%, compared to 1.08% in 2015, a 31 bps increase as the Bank strengthened the overall funding mix, while compensating the effects of increased underlying market rates which increased 33 bps over the same period. Quarterly weighted average funding cost increased 8 bps QoQ and 33 bps YoY to reach 1.50% in the fourth quarter 2016, mainly on increased market rates.

4Q16 vs. 3Q16

The Treasury Business Segment reported a $0.8 million Profit for 4Q16, a $0.3 million, or 28%, QoQ decrease, as higher net other income primarily from trading gains of financial instruments used for hedging purposes, were offset by lower net interest income from reduced investment securities average portfolio balances and increased lower-yield liquidity balances, along with seasonally higher allocated overhead expenses.

4Q16 vs. 4Q15

The Segment’s $0.8 million Profit for 4Q16 compared to the $5.3 million Loss in 4Q15 was mainly attributable to (i) a positive variation on impairment from ECL on investment securities, as a $0.3 million impairment gain was recorded during the quarter, mostly due to reduced portfolio balances, compared to an $4.7 million impairment loss in 4Q15 mostly related to individually assessed lifetime ECL on securities positions which were sold during 2016, and (ii) the absence of non-core effects from the Bank’s former participation in the investment funds which recorded a loss of $2.0 million in 4Q15.

FY16 vs. FY15

The Treasury Business Segment reported a marginal profit for the year 2016, compared to $8.6 million in 2015, a decrease mostly attributable to the $9.5 million adverse swing in non-core results from the Bank’s former participation in investment funds, with a $4.4 million loss recorded in 2016 compared to a $5.1 million gain in 2015. The Bank´s reduced holdings in its investment securities portfolio mainly accounted for a $3.5 million reduction in the Segment’s net interest income, which was compensated by a year-on-year reduction of impairment loss from ECL on investment securities, as the Bank recorded marginal impairment in 2016, compared to $5.3 million impairment in 2015.

Net Interest Margin		2.08	%		1.84	%		2.05	%		2.13	%		1.90	%

4Q16 vs. 3Q16

The Bank’s 4Q16 net interest income reached $37.7 million, a $2.1 million, or 5%, quarter-on-quarter decrease, primarily attributable to an 8 bps decrease in net interest margin mainly from lower average loan portfolio balances and reduced lending margins reflecting the Bank’s emphasis on short-term trade lending.

4Q16 vs. 4Q15

Net interest income was nearly unchanged compared to the $37.8 million net interest income in 4Q15, on lower average interest-earning asset balances as a result of the Bank’s decision to reduce risk concentration in the loan and investment securities portfolios, offsetting the positive effects of wider NIM and NIS (+41 bps on yields interest-earning asset vs. +33 bps on rates paid interest-bearing liabilities).

FY16 vs. FY15

The Bank’s 2016 net interest income reached $155.2 million, compared to $145.5 million in 2015. The $9.7 million, or 7%, increase in net interest income was mainly driven by a 24 bps increase in net interest margin to 2.08% in 2016, compared to 1.84% in 2015, as higher net lending spreads and the overall effects of increased market rates overcompensated the effects of lower average interest-earning asset balances, from the Bank´s efforts to reduce lending and investment portfolio risk exposures.

FEES AND OTHER INCOME

Fees and Other Income includes the fee income associated with letters of credit and other contingent credits, such as guarantees and credit commitments, as well as fee income derived from loan structuring and syndication activities, together with loan intermediation and distribution activities in the primary and secondary markets.

Quarterly Variation

Fees and Other Income totaled $4.8 million in 4Q16, compared to $3.6 million in 3Q16, and $7.7 million in 4Q15. The $1.2 million, or 32% quarter-on-quarter increase was mostly driven by higher letter of credit business activities, loan distribution activities in the secondary market and other income. The $2.9 million, or 38%, year-on-year decrease was mostly driven by lower fee income in the syndications business as two transactions were closed in the 4Q16 versus three in the 4Q15, along with reduced commissions from credit commitments and financial guarantees, and lower gains on the sale of loans.

FY16 vs. FY15

Full-year 2016 Fees and Other Income amounted to $16.5 million, compared to $22.3 million in 2015. The $5.8 million, or 26%, decrease was mostly driven by lower business activity in letter of credits, loan commitments and other financial guarantees contracts, and lower market activity in secondary market transactions, while commissions from the syndication business in the primary market were slightly lower, with an increased number of completed transactions despite overall volumes in the relevant Latin American debt capital markets suffering significant decreases.

Total allowance for ECL on loans at amortized, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts to Commercial Portfolio		1.73	%		1.67	%		1.60	%		1.40	%		1.33	%

NPL to gross loan portfolio		1.09	%		1.31	%		1.30	%		0.43	%		0.78	%

Total allowance for ECL on loans at amortized, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts to NPL (times)		1.7			1.3			1.3			3.4			1.8

The total allowance for ECL amounted to $111.8 million at December 31, 2016, representing 1.73% of total Commercial Portfolio, compared to $111.7 million and 1.67%, respectively, as of September 30, 2016, and compared to $95.4 million and 1.33%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The YoY increase of $16.4 million in credit allowances and 40 basis points in total reserve coverage was primarily associated with higher allowances assigned to performing exposures based on lifetime ECL (IFRS Rule 9 Stage 2), and NPL (IFRS Rule 9 Stage 3), partly offset by lower impairment from ECL on performing exposures assessed based on 12-month ECL (IFRS Rule 9 Stage 1), which resulted from both lower end-of-period portfolio balances, and the overall portfolio mix shift towards shorter term trade exposures.

NPL balances stood at $65.4 million, or 1.09% of NPL to Loan Portfolio, compared to $83.8 million, or 1.31% of the Loan Portfolio a quarter ago, as the result of write-offs after completed restructurings, and compared to $52.3 million, or 0.78% of Loan Portfolio a year ago. The ratio of the total allowance for ECL on loans, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts to NPLs was 1.7 times, from 1.3 times a quarter ago, and compared to 1.8 times a year ago.
