BANCOLOMBIA S.A. (NYSE: CIB; BVC: BCOLOMBIA, PFBCOLOM) REPORTS CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME OF 2.86 TRILLION FOR 2016 WHICH REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OF 14% COMPARED TO 2015 AND 1.13 TRILLION FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2016, WHICH REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OF 87% COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS QUARTER.

Net interest income was 9.69 trillion and grew 34.1% for 2016. This strong growth is explained by an expansion of the net interest margin and by higher volumes in peso-denominated loans. Net interest income grew 28.1% for the quarter when compared to 4Q15.

The net interest margin was 6.0% for the year. The margin increased 90 basis points in the last year.

Net fees were 2.31 trillion and increased by 16.4% for 2016. This solid growth was mainly driven by an increase in fees related to banking services, credit and debit cards, and distribution of insurance products through the bank’s network. Net fees increased by 16.9% for the quarter when compared to 4Q15.

Net income before taxes was 3.96 trillion and grew 22.6% for 2016. This growth shows the good performance of the business and tighter cost control. Net income before taxes grew 4.7% in 4Q16 when compared to 4Q15.

Efficiency was 51.0% for 2016. Higher net interest income as well as a tighter control on the growth of expenses led to an improvement in efficiency for the year. Efficiency was 54.1% for the quarter.

Tier 1 was 9.02% for 2016. The capital adequacy ratio was 13.26%. The current levels of capital respond to a suitable capital structure for the performance of the business.

ROE was 14.5% for 2016. Higher than the one reported in 2015 of 13.62%, which shows the good results of the business combined with the tighter cost control during the year. The ROE for the quarter was 22.1%.

BALANCE SHEET

1.1.

Assets

As of December 31, 2016, Bancolombia’s assets totaled COP 196,261 billion, which represents an increase of 2.7% compared to 3Q16 and of 1.7% compared to 4Q15.

During the quarter, the COP depreciated 4.2% versus the USD and appreciated 4.7% over the past 12 months. The increase in total assets is largely explained by the growth in cash and an increase in the position of investment and Interbank Deposits.

1.2.

Loan Portfolio

The following table shows the composition of Bancolombia’s investments and loans by type and currency:

(COP Million)	Amounts in COP						Amounts in USD converted to COP					Amounts in USD (thousands)					Total

1.3.

Investment Portfolio

As of December 31, 2016, Bancolombia’s net investment portfolio totaled COP 13,060 billion, decreasing 0.5% compared to the figure reported in 3Q16 and 8.5% compared to 4Q15. The investment portfolio consists primarily of debt securities, which represent 65.4% of Bancolombia’s total investments and 4.4% of assets at the end of 4Q16.

At the end of 4Q16, the debt securities portfolio had a duration of 17.3 months and a yield to maturity of 6.51%.

1.4.

Goodwill and intangibles

As of 4Q16, Bancolombia’s goodwill and intangibles totaled COP 6,694 billion, increasing 3.9% compared to 3Q16. This variation is explained by the depreciation of the COP against the USD during the quarter.

1.5.

Funding

As of December 31, 2016, Bancolombia’s liabilities totaled COP 173,784 billion, increasing 2.2% with respect to 3Q16 and 0.7% compared to 4Q15.

Deposits by customers totaled COP 124,624 billion (or 71.7% of liabilities) at the end of 4Q16, increasing 5.5% during the quarter and 2.3% over the last 12 months. The net loans to deposits ratio (including borrowings from domestic development banks) was 111% at the end of 4Q16, which marks a decrease in comparison to the 115% reported in 3Q16.

Bancolombia’s funding strategy during the last months has been to extend the average life of time deposits and promote saving accounts in the consumer segment in order to keep the funding cost at a minimum. The objective is to build and maintain ample liquidity and increase the sensitivity of the balance sheet to changes in the interest rates, which has been reflected in the stability of the loans net interest margin. This strategy, added to the Central Bank’s rate hikes, increased the cost of deposits during the year.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital

Shareholders’ equity at the end of 4Q16 was COP 21,268 billion, increasing 6.9% or COP 1,373 billion, with respect to the COP 19,895 billion reported at the end of 3Q16.

Bancolombia’s capital adequacy ratio was 13.26% in 4Q16. This figure highlights the company’s solid capital position.

Bancolombia’s capital adequacy ratio was 426 basis points above the minimum 9% required by the Colombian regulator, while the basic capital ratio (Tier 1) to risk weighted assets was 9.02%, 452 basis points above the regulatory minimum of 4.5%. The tangible capital ratio, defined as shareholders’ equity minus goodwill and intangible assets divided by tangible assets, was 7.54% at the end of 4Q16.

INCOME STATEMENT

Net income totaled COP 1.13 trillion in 4Q16, or COP 1,175.87 per share - USD 1.57 per ADR (excluding discontinued operations). This net income represents an increase of 87.3% compared to 3Q16 and 72.3% compared to 4Q15. This increase in net income, in the quarter, is explained by a good performance in fees and income from Interest-rate derivatives, a valuation of the TUYA S.A investment and a decrease in the tax income provision. Bancolombia’s annualized ROE for 4Q16 was 22.1% and 14.5% for 2016.

2.1.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled COP 2,463 billion in 4Q16, 1.5% less than that reported in 3Q16, and 28.1% higher than the figure for 4Q15. Higher volumes in peso-denominated loans and increases in loan margin drove the positive annual and quarterly performance of this line. Of this annual increase in revenue, BAM contributes 6.4% (23% of marginal variation).

During 4Q16, the investment, interest rate derivatives and repos portfolio generated COP 139 billion.

Net Interest Margin

The annualized net interest margin decreased to 6.0% in 4Q16. The annualized net interest margin for investments was -0.5%, and the annualized net interest margin of the loan portfolio was 6.5%.

The re-pricing of existing loans, the origination of new loans at higher rates and higher volumes in the peso-denominated loan portfolio were the factors that drove the net interest margin expansion of 90 basis points during the year.

Annualized Interest

Debt investments' margin		-0.5	%		3.2	%		-0.5	%
Net interest margin		5.1	%		6.2	%		6.0	%

The funding cost was kept under control during 4Q16 despite the increases in the reference rate of the Colombian Central Bank in the first half of the year. Savings and checking accounts represented the same proportion of the total cost of funding as the one presented last quarter, and the annualized average weighted cost of deposits was 3.58% in 4Q16, increasing 13 basis points compared to 3Q16.

Fees and Income from Services

During 4Q16, net fees and income from services totaled COP 591 billion, which was the same when compared to 3Q16, and increasing 16.9% with respect to 4Q15. The positive performance in fees is due to higher volumes of transactions and the good performance of banking services, trust and trade products and bancassurance.

Fees from credit and debit cards decreased 1.7% compared to 3Q16 and increased 1.5% compared to 4Q15. Fees from asset management and trust services increased 5.8% compared to 3Q16 and 15.7% compared to 4Q15. Fees from our bancassurance business increased 30.0% compared to 3Q16 and 26.0% with respect to 4Q15, thanks to the successful cross-selling initiatives led by our sales teams.

Asset Quality, Provision Charges and Balance Sheet Strength

The capital balance for past due loans (those that are overdue for more than 30 days) totaled COP 4,835 billion at the end of 4Q16 and represented 3.3% of total gross loans, showing a slight decrease compared to 3Q16. During 4Q16, Charge-offs totaled COP 358 billion in 4Q16.

The coverage, measured by the ratio of allowances for loans losses (principal) to PDLs (overdue 30 days), was 125.9% at the end of 4Q16, increasing compared to 115.9% in 3Q16. Likewise, the coverage measured by the ratio of allowances for loans losses to loans classified as C, D and E, was 82.1% at the end of 4Q16, decreasing with respect to the 88.0% reported in 3Q16.

The deterioration of the loan portfolio (new past due loans including charge-offs) was COP 347 billion in 4Q16. During the quarter, the rhythm in loan deterioration was reduced due to strict criteria of origination in new loans. Provision charges (net of recoveries) totaled COP 772 billion in 4Q16. Provisions as a percentage of the average gross loans were 2.1% for 4Q16 and 1.8% for the year.

Bancolombia maintains a strong balance sheet supported by an adequate level of loan loss reserves. Allowances for loan losses totaled COP 6,088 billion, or 4.0% of total loans at the end of 4Q16. This proportion is equal to the one presented at the end of 3Q16.

Operating Expenses

During 4Q16, operating expenses totaled COP 1,916 billion, increasing 16.3% with respect to 3Q16 and 18.1% with respect to 4Q15. Of this annual increase in personnel expenses, BAM contributes 5.6% (31% of the marginal increase). The operating expenses of 2016 increased 18.3% when compared to 2015 and of this annual increase; BAM contributes 7.4% (40% of the marginal increase). The operating expenses of 2016 were impacted by a higher average FX, which caused dollar-denominated expenses to represent more pesos when converted.

Personnel expenses (salaries, bonus plan payments and compensation) totaled COP 780 billion in 4Q16, increasing 20.2% compared to 3Q16 and 33.7% compared to 4Q15. Of this annual growth in personnel expenses, BAM contributes 7.0% (21% of the marginal increase). During the quarter, we had additional charges for vacation, employee benefits and bonuses.

During 4Q16, administrative expenses totaled COP 766 billion, increasing 15.6% compared to 3Q16 and 15.1% as compared to 4Q15. Of this annual growth in administrative expenses, BAM contributes 3.2% (21% of the marginal increase).

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled COP 118 billion in 4Q16, decreasing 9.6% compared to 3Q16 and 9.3% compared to 4Q15.

As of December 31, 2016, Bancolombia had 31,598 employees (34,567 including TUYA S.A. employees), owned 1,167 branches, 5,943 ATMs, 8,212 baking agents and served more than 11 million customers.

2.6.

Taxes

The income tax was COP 1.17 billion for the year 2016, which in turn led to an effective tax rate of 30%. There was a tax reversion on the income tax of COP 126 billion in 4Q16.

This tax reversion in the provision of the income tax during the fourth quarter occurred after the income statement was finalized, meaning there was certainty about the payable taxes based on the income generated during the fiscal period. Usually, this adjustment occurs at the end of each year.

Additionally, there was a reversion for the compensation of fiscal credits. Also, the tax reform approved in December 2016, had an impact on deferred taxes due to the fact that statutory tax rates were lower than those previously estimated.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

October 21, 2016, Bancolombia announced that, the sale agreement announced on a press release on July 1st, 2015, pursuant to which Bancolombia, transferred to Almacenes Éxito S.A 50% of the shares of Compañia de Financiamiento Tuya S.A (“Tuya”), entered into effect. The total purchase price of the transaction was COP 79 billion. As a result of this transaction, Tuya will be controlled jointly by Éxito and Bancolombia.

The valuation of the joint venture generated a revenue net of taxes of COP 161 billion. This net income is shown under “Discontinued Operations Net Income”.

Bancolombia announced the completion of an offering of ordinary bonds in an aggregate principal amount of COP 350 billion, with a term of 7 years and a rate of IBR + 2.20% monthly (30/360).

The bonds are referred to as Green Bonds because the proceeds from the offering will be used to finance sustainability projects to combat the climate changes, associated with renewable energies and sustainable constructions. The International Finance Corporation IFC, member of the World Bank Group, acquired all the bonds of the offering.
