1. BALANCE SHEET

1.1. Assets

As of September 30, 2021, Bancolombia's assets totaled COP 269.751 billion, which represents a growth of 1.6% compared to 2Q21 and 3Q20.

During the quarter, the peso depreciated 1.7% versus the US dollar and in the last 12 months it appreciated 1.4%. The average exchange rate was 2.1% higher in 3Q21 versus 2Q21.

1.4. Goodwill and intangibles

At the end of 3Q21, Bancolombia's goodwill and intangibles totaled COP 8,258 billion, increasing 1.4% compared to 2Q21. This quarterly variation is mainly explained by the depreciation of the COP against the USD.

1.5. Funding

As of September 30, 2021, Bancolombia's liabilities totaled COP 237,882 billion, growing 1.3% from the end of 2Q21, and 0.7% compared to 3Q20.

Customer deposits totaled COP 189,645 billion (79.7% of liabilities) at the end of 3Q21, decreasing 0.1% compared to 2Q21 and increasing 3.3% over the last 12 months. The net loans to deposits ratio was 102.1% at the end of 3Q21 increasing compared to 98.4% in 2Q21.

For the last two years, Bancolombia's funding cost has shown a sustained decrease on a quarterly basis, mainly as a result of the greater share on savings and checking accounts from retail customers, while maintaining at the same time a solid liquidity position.

2. INCOME STATEMENT

Net income totaled COP 943 billion in 3Q21, or COP 980.03 per share (USD $ 1.03 per ADR). This profit represents a reduction of 18.5% compared to 2Q21 and a growth of 237.1% when compared to 3Q20. Bancolombia's annualized return on equity ("ROE") was 12.7% for 3Q21 and 8.4% for the last 12 months.

2.1. Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled COP 2,906 billion in 3Q21, 2.1% greater than the value reported in 2Q21, and 4.9% above 3Q20. During 3Q21, the investment, interest rate derivatives and repos portfolio generated COP 148 billion, 8.4% lower when compared to 2Q21.

Net Interest Margin

The annualized net interest margin remained stable at 5.0% during 3Q21. The annualized net interest margin for investments in 3Q21 was 0.6%. During the third quarter this value did not present significant variations compared to the previous period, and is mainly explained by the management operations of the bank´s liquidity and the fixed income portfolio, whose position at the short end of the yield curve was favored by the stability in the margin intermediation between its profitability and the costs linked to its funding.

The annualized net interest margin of the loan portfolio was 5.6%, meaning a decline of 10 basis points compared to 2Q21. This variation is explained by the repricing of assets late effect, following the reference rate reduction completed during 2020 by the Colombian Central Bank. The resulting lower interest expenses have avoided a further compression on the margin.
