BANCOLOMBIA S.A. (NYSE: CIB; BVC: BCOLOMBIA, PFBCOLOM) REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER

OF 2021.

  • The net profit for 2Q21 was COP 1.2 trillion, denoting a better performance of its clients, thanks to the support received by the bank during the pandemic. This value represents an increase of 113.2% compared to 1Q21.
  • Gross loans amount to COP 204 trillion, which represents a 3.3% growth when compared to 1Q21.
  • Provision charges for the quarter were COP 626 trillion and the coverage ratio for 90-day past due loans was 227,4%. Provision charges decreased by 51.1% when compared to 1Q21 and by 74.3% when compared to 2Q20. This reduction is largely due to a better economic outlook in the models for 2021, a better payment performance from clients and a fine- tuning in the provisioning methodologies for the portfolio under credit reliefs.
  • The efficiency ratio was 50.4% for the last 12 months. Operating expenses for the first semester of the year increased by 2.2% when compared to the first half of 2020. Operating expenses for the quarter increased 4.4% when compared to 1Q21 and 13.7% compared to 2Q20.
  • Under Basel III, Tier 1 capital stood at 11.5% as of June 30, 2021, increasing 30 basis points compared to March 31, 2021. The solvency ratio ended at 15.0%. This leverage level is adequate considering the balance sheet risks and asset growth expectations.

1. BALANCE SHEET

1.1. Assets

As of June 30, 2021, Bancolombia's assets totaled COP 265,484 billion, which represents a growth of 3.2% compared to 1Q21 and a decrease of 0.8% compared to 2Q20.

During the quarter, the peso depreciated 1.9% versus the US dollar and in the last 12 months it appreciated 0.2%. The average exchange rate was 1.9% higher in 2Q21 versus 1Q21.

The increase in total assets during the first quarter is largely explained by the growth in the loan book and financial assets investments.

1.4. Goodwill and intangibles

At the end of 2Q21, Bancolombia's goodwill and intangibles totaled COP 8,143 billion, increasing 1.6% compared to 1Q21. This quarterly variation is mainly explained by the depreciation of the COP against the USD.

1.5. Funding

As of June 30, 2021, Bancolombia's liabilities totaled COP 234,889 billion, growing 3.0% from the end of 1Q21, and decreasing 1.7% compared to 2Q20.

Customer deposits totaled COP 189,742 billion (80.8% of liabilities) at the end of 2Q21, increasing 2.8% compared to 1Q21 and 4.4% over the last 12 months. The net loans to deposits ratio was 98.4% at the end of 2Q21 increasing compared to 97.6% in 1Q21.

The bank's liquidity position continues to be favorable. During 2Q21 the lower total cost of funding indicates the high share of deposits over the total funding mix.

1.6. Shareholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital

Shareholders' equity at the end of 2Q21 was COP 29,005 billion, increasing by 5.0% compared to 1Q21 and by 9.6% when compared to 2Q20.

Bancolombia's consolidated solvency ratio under Basel III was 15.04% in 2Q21, while the basic capital ratio (Tier 1) was 11.49%. This leverage level is adequate considering the balance sheet risks and asset growth expectations.

The tangible capital ratio, defined as shareholders' equity minus goodwill and intangible assets divided by tangible assets, was 8.0% at the end of 2Q21.

The annual decrease in risk-weighted assets is mainly explained by the adoption of the new regulation.

2. INCOME STATEMENT

Net income totaled COP 1,157 billion in 2Q21, or COP 1,202.83 per share (USD $ 1.28 per ADR). This profit represents a growth of 113.2% compared to 1Q21 and a significant recovery from the net loss presented in 2Q20. Bancolombia's annualized return on equity ("ROE") was 16.3% for 2Q21 and 6.2% for the last 12 months.

2.1. Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled COP 2,846 billion in 2Q21, 0.7% greater than the value reported in 1Q21, and 1.9% below 2Q20. During 2Q21, the investment, interest rate derivatives and repos portfolio generated COP 273 billion, 40.7% lower when compared to 1Q21.

Net Interest Margin

The annualized net interest margin decreased in 2Q21, reaching 5.0%. The annualized net interest margin for investments in 2Q21 was 0.5%. The decrease in the investment margin during the quarter was due to the lower allocation of resources in foreign currency securities and their respective exchange rate restatement. Additionally, the profitability of investments in fixed income assets and their derivatives decreased, explained by lower valuations in a scenario of expected changes in Colombian monetary policy for the upcoming months.

The annualized net interest margin of the loan portfolio was 5.7%, proving a relative stability compared to 1Q21. On an annual basis, the main factors that impact the lending margin are related to the repricing of assets as an effect of the reductions in the reference rate by the Central Bank in Colombia during the last year and, secondly, the lower revenues accrued by an increase of clients in stage 3 under IFRS 9.
