BANCOLOMBIA S.A. (NYSE: CIB; BVC: BCOLOMBIA, PFBCOLOM) REPORTS CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME OF COP 592 BILLION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2018 WHICH REPRESENTS AN INCREASE OF 13% COMPARED TO 1Q18 AND A DECREASE OF 9% COMPARED TO 2Q17.

 

 

·Gross loans grew 3.2% when compared to 2Q17 and 2.9% during the quarter. This annual growth shows moderation in the credit demand in Colombia. Peso-denominated loans grew 8.7% when compared to 2Q17.

 

·Net interest income was COP 2.55 trillion for 2Q18, decreasing by 3.3% when compared to 2Q17. This slowdown in NII is mainly explained by the adoption of IFRS 9 during 2018, which cause a reduction of COP 106 billion compared to 2Q17. The compression of the net interest margin during the year also affected the number. Net interest income increased by 1.3% during the quarter.

 

·The annualized net interest margin for the quarter was 5.9%. The margin increased by 6 basis points during the quarter and decreased by 31 basis points when compared to 2Q17, mainly affected by the decrease in the NII product of the adoption of IFRS 9, as well as the reductions in the reference rate in Colombia. The control of the cost of deposits allowed moderating the decrease of the margin during the quarter.

 

·Provision charges for the quarter were COP 972 billion and the coverage ratio for 90-day past due loans was 157.3%. Provision charges increased by 23.1% when compared to 2Q17 and by 11.1% compared to 1Q18, these provisions allow us to maintain a solid coverage ratio amid a challenging environment. New past due loans totaled COP 1,151 billion for the quarter explain largely by corporate clients.

 

·Efficiency was 49.1% during the last twelve months. Operating expenses decreased by 1.2% when compared to 2Q17. The annual decrease in operating expenses is explained by the reduction in the network of branches, automation and optimization of processes and the rationalization of personal expenses. Operating expenses increased by 1.6% during the quarter.

 

·Net fees were COP 645 billion and increased by 4.8% compared to 2Q17. This growth was mainly driven by an increase in fees related to credit and debit cards, payments and collections, as well as trust services. Net fees decreased by 5.2% during the quarter.

 

·Tier 1 ratio was 10.02% at June 30, 2018 and decreased by 38 basis points when compared to June 30, 2017. The capital adequacy ratio was 13.5%.

1.BALANCE SHEET

 

1.1.Assets

 

As of June 30, 2018, Bancolombia’s assets totaled COP 204,553 billion, which represents an increase of 1.8% compared to 1Q18 and of 0.4% compared to 2Q17.

 

During the quarter, the COP depreciated 5.4% versus the USD and over the past 12 months, it appreciated 3.9%.

 

The increase in total assets during the quarter is largely explained by the growth in the loan book, reverse purchase agreements and investment in associates and joint ventures.

 

1.2.Loan Portfolio

 

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

 

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

In 2Q18, gross loans increased by 2.9% when compared to 1Q18. Peso-denominated loans grew 8.7% and the dollar-denominated loans decreased by 2.4% when compared to 2Q17. In comparison with 2Q17, total gross loans grew 3.2%.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the operations in Banco Agricola in El Salvador, Banistmo in Panama and BAM in Guatemala, represented 25% of total gross loans.

 

Gross loans denominated in currencies other than COP, originated by the operations in Central America, the offshore operation of Bancolombia Panama and the USD denominated loans in Colombia, accounted for 33.4% and increased by 7.4% during 2Q18 (when expressed in COP), explained mainly by the depreciation of the COP against the USD during the quarter.

 

Total reserves (allowances in the balance sheet) for loan losses increased by 5.4% during the quarter and totaled COP 9,480 billion, equivalent to 5.8% of gross loans at the end of the quarter.

The investment portfolio consists primarily of debt securities, which represent 70.5% of Bancolombia’s total investments and 5.4% of assets at the end of 2Q18.

 

At the end of 2Q18, the debt securities portfolio had a duration of 19.6 months and a weighted average yield to maturity of 4.7%.

 

1.4.Goodwill and intangibles

 

As of 2Q18, Bancolombia’s goodwill and intangibles totaled COP 6,501 billion, increasing by 5.3% compared to 1Q18. This variation is explained by the depreciation of the COP against the USD during the quarter.

 

1.5.Funding

 

As of June 30, 2018, Bancolombia’s liabilities totaled COP 180,528 billion, increasing by 1.6% from the end of 1Q18 and decreasing by 0.1% compared to 2Q17.

 

Deposits by customers totaled COP 130,319 billion (or 72.2% of liabilities) at the end of 2Q18, increasing by 0.1% during the quarter and by 1.4% over the last 12 months. The net loans to deposits ratio was 118.0% at the end of 2Q18.

 

Bancolombia’s funding strategy during the last months has been to reduce the average life of time deposits and promote saving and checking 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 reduce the sensitivity of the balance sheet to cuts in interest rates.

Shareholders’ equity at the end of 2Q18 was COP 22,739 billion, increasing by 3.6% or COP 787 billion, compared to the value reported at the end of 1Q18. Bancolombia’s capital adequacy ratio was 13.5% in 2Q18.

 

Bancolombia’s capital adequacy ratio was 452 basis points above the minimum 9% required by the Colombian regulator, while the basic capital ratio (Tier 1) to risk weighted assets was 10.02%, 552 basis points above the regulatory minimum of 4.5%.

2Q18

 

In the last months, Bancolombia has generated capital organically due to the appropriation of earnings in March 2018 and to the efficient allocation of capital in different products. The annual increase in the RWA is mainly explained by the growth in the loan book.

2.INCOME STATEMENT

 

Net income totaled COP 592 billion in 2Q18, or COP 615.20 per share - USD 0.84 per ADR. This net income represents an increase of 13.4% compared to 1Q18 and a decrease of 9.5% compared to 2Q17. Bancolombia’s annualized ROE for 2Q18 was 10.6%.

 

2.1.Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income totaled COP 2,546 billion in 2Q18, 1.3% more than the one reported in 1Q18, and 3.3% less than the figure for 2Q17. During the quarter, the Net Interest Income was impacted negatively by the implementation of IFRS 9, which caused a reduction of COP 106 billion.

 

During 2Q18, the investment, interest rate derivatives and repos portfolio generated COP 127 billion, up by 10.9% from 1Q18.

 

Net Interest Margin

 

The annualized net interest margin increased to 5.9% in 2Q18. The annualized net interest margin for investments was 1.3%, and the annualized net interest margin of the loan portfolio was 6.2%, equal to the one reported in 1Q18.

Debt investments' margin 2.3% 0.5% 1.3%
Net interest margin 6.2% 5.8% 5.9%

 

Total funding cost decreased during 2Q18, due to the reduction of long-term debt, as well as a reduction of the average life of time deposits. Savings and checking accounts represented the same proportion of the total cost of funding as in 1Q18, and the annualized average weighted cost of deposits was 2.95% in 2Q18, decreasing 7 basis point compared to 1Q18 and 55 basis points compared to 2Q17.

2.3.Other Operating Income

 

Total other operating income was COP 344 billion in 2Q18, increasing by 7.9% compared to 1Q18, and decreasing by 6.4% compared to 2Q17.

 

Revenues from the operating leases totaled COP 156 billion in 2Q18, increasing by 8.1% compared to 1Q18 and by 15.3% compared to those reported in 2Q17. The annual increase is due to higher volumes of operations and delivered assets under leasing.

 

2.4.Asset Quality, Provision Charges and Balance Sheet Strength

 

The principal balance for past due loans (those that are overdue for more than 30 days) totaled COP 8,228 billion at the end of 2Q18 and represented 5.2% of total gross loans, increasing by 5.7% compared to 1Q18, when past due loans represented 5.1% of total gross loans. During 2Q18, Charge-offs totaled COP 705 billion.

 

The coverage, measured by the ratio of allowances for loans losses (principal) to PDLs (overdue 30 days), was 105.4% at the end of 2Q18, decreasing compared to 105.5% at the end of 1Q18.

 

The deterioration of the loan portfolio (new past due loans including charge-offs) was COP 1,151 billion in 2Q18. During the quarter, the 30-day NPLs in SMEs improved significantly, however the 90-day NPLs showed some run-offs. Corporate clients contributed to the new past due loan formation; however, several of these clients were already provisioned. Provision charges (net of recoveries) totaled COP 972 billion in 2Q18. Provisions as a percentage of the average gross loans were 2.4% for 2Q18 and 2.3% for the last 12 months.

 

Bancolombia maintains a strong balance sheet supported by an adequate level of loan loss reserves. Allowances (for the principal) for loan losses totaled COP 8,672 billion, or 5.5% of total loans at the end of 2Q18, increasing as compared to 1Q18.

2.5.Operating Expenses

 

During 2Q18, operating expenses totaled COP 1,859 billion, increasing by 1.6% with respect to 1Q18 and decreasing by 1.2% with respect to 2Q17. The annual decrease in operating expenses is explained by several strategies done on this front, which includes the reduction in the network of branches, automation and optimization of processes and the rationalization of personal expenses.

 

Personnel expenses (salaries, bonus plan payments and compensation) totaled COP 746 billion in 2Q18, decreasing by 2.3% compared to 1Q18 and by 2.8% compared to 2Q17.

 

During 2Q18, administrative expenses totaled COP 728 billion, increasing by 3.7% compared to 1Q18 and by 1.4% as compared to 2Q17.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled COP 113 billion in 2Q18, decreasing by 4.6% compared to 1Q18 and by 3.2% compared to 2Q17.

 

As of June 30, 2018, Bancolombia had 31,000 employees, owned 1,045 branches, 5,746 ATMs, 11,269 banking agents and served more than 12 million customers.

 

2.6.Taxes

 

Income tax expense was COP 195 billion for 2Q18, decreasing by 37.3% when compared to the income tax registered in 1Q18, and by 30.6% compared to 2Q17. These variations are mainly explained by the depreciation of the peso versus the dollar in the second quarters of 2017 and 2018 since the operation in Colombia, which has the highest tax rate, represents a lower proportion in the consolidated results. Central America on the other hand, has a lower tax rate and gains weight in the consolidated results.
