BANCOLOMBIA S.A. (NYSE: CIB; BVC: BCOLOMBIA, PFBCOLOM) REPORTS CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME OF 397 BILLION FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016

 

·Net loan portfolio grew 21.0% compared to 1Q15. This annual growth is explained by organic net loan growth, the depreciation of the peso, and by the incorporation of BAM’s loan portfolio in 2015, which explains 6.4% of the total growth. During the quarter, the peso appreciated versus the dollar and this caused the contraction of the loan portfolio on a consolidated level.

 

·Net interest income grew 29.9% compared to 1Q15. This growth is explained by sustained growth in the loan portfolio and by an improving net interest margin, which increased from 5.6% in 1Q15 to 5.7% in 1Q16.

 

·Net fees increased by 18.9% compared to 1Q15. This solid growth was mainly driven by an increase in fees related to banking services, electronic services, credit and debit cards, distribution of insurance products through the bank’s network, brokerage, and international wire transfers.

 

·Net provisions increased 16.7% during the last quarter but were offset by the solid growth in net interest income. This increase in provisions is explained by specific defaults related to a few corporate clients and to some deterioration in the consumer segment.

 

·Income tax increased 113% compared to 1Q15. This jump is explained by the inter quarterly exchange rate fluctuations experienced last year, that create differences between financial accounting and tax accounting, which in turn made the effective tax rate 56% in 1Q16.

 

May 23, 2016. Medellin, Colombia – Today, BANCOLOMBIA S.A. (“Bancolombia” or “the Bank”) announced its earnings results for the first quarter of 20161. For the quarter ended on March 31, 2016 (“1Q16”), Bancolombia reported consolidated net income of COP 397 billion, or COP 408.3 per share - USD 0.54 per ADR. This net income represents a 39.5% decrease compared to the quarter ended on December 31, 2015 (“4Q15”) and a 37.1% decrease compared to the quarter ended on March 31, 2015 (“1Q15”).

1.BALANCE SHEET

 

1.1.Assets

 

As of March 31, 2016, Bancolombia’s assets totaled COP 191,385 billion, which represents a decrease of 0.8% compared to 4Q15 and an increase of 22.3% compared to 1Q15. In the quarter, the decrease in assets was explained by a reduction in the repurchase agreement operations position. The consolidation of BAM at the end of 2015 explains 7.3% of the total asset’s annual growth (33% of marginal growth).

 

During the quarter the COP appreciated 4.7% versus the USD and depreciated 15.5% over the past 12 months. The decrease in total assets is largely explained by the reduced value of assets denominated in dollars that represent less pesos when converted and also to a reduction in the position of reverse purchase agreements.

 

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 USD = 3000.63 COP)  1Q16   1Q16/4Q15   1Q16   1Q16/4Q15   1Q16   1Q16/4Q15   1Q16   1Q16/4Q15 
Commercial loans   64,038,297    3.80%   40,184,504    -5.82%   13,392,022    -1.15%   104,222,799    -0.13%
Consumer loans   12,818,376    1.10%   8,386,406    -3.74%   2,794,882    1.03%   21,204,782    -0.87%
Mortgage loans   10,439,344    -2.81%   8,064,182    -2.14%   2,687,496    2.71%   18,503,948    -2.52%
Small  business loans   612,426    3.31%   312,639    5.50%   104,191    10.74%   925,065    4.04%
Interests paid in advance   (21,747)   2405.40%   -    -100.00%   -    -100.00%   (21,747)   2405.41%
Gross loans   87,886,696    2.55%   56,947,731    -4.95%   18,978,592    -0.24%   144,834,847    -0.54%

 

The quarter 1Q16 shows a decrease in gross loans of 0.5%, in general the segments during this quarter presented a slight decrease caused by less credit demand and the appreciation of the COP versus the USD during the quarter, as was expected during the year, except for small business loans that grew 4.0%. Also, in comparison with a year ago, total gross loans grew 20.6%. The consolidation of BAM at the end of 2015 explains 6.4% of the gross loans annual growth (31% of marginal growth).    

 

Gross loans denominated in currencies different from COP product of our operation in El Salvador, Panama and Guatemala accounted for 39.3% at the end of 1Q16.

 

Total reserves (allowances in the balance sheet) for loan losses increased by 2.9% during 1Q16 and totaled COP 5,402 billion, equivalent to 3.7% of gross loans at the end of the quarter.

 

For further explanation regarding coverage of the loan portfolio and credit quality trends, (see section 2.4. Asset Quality, Provision Charges and Balance Sheet Strength).

 

The following table summarizes Bancolombia’s total loan portfolio:

1.3.Investment Portfolio

 

As of March 31, 2016, Bancolombia’s net investment portfolio totaled COP 15,041 billion, increasing 5.3% compared to the figure reported in 4Q15 and growing 12.5% compared to 1Q15. This quarterly increase is explained by the bank's strategy of increasing its time deposits and investing its excess of cash in liquid assets. The investment portfolio consists primarily of debt securities, which represent 71.0% of Bancolombia’s total investments and 5.6% of assets at the end of 1Q16.

At the end of 1Q16, the investments in debt securities had a duration of 17.1 months and a yield to maturity of 6.76%.

 

1.4.Goodwill and intangibles

 

As of 1Q16, Bancolombia’s goodwill and intangibles totaled COP 6,676 billion, decreasing 5.9% compared to 4Q15. This variation is explained by the appreciation of the COP against the USD during the quarter.

 

1.5.Funding

 

As of March 31, 2016, Bancolombia’s liabilities totaled COP 171,601 billion, decreasing 0.9% with respect to 4Q15 and increasing 23.6% compared to 1Q15. Of this annual growth, 7.35% (31% of marginal variation) is explained by the incorporation of BAM.

 

Deposits by customers totaled COP 116,806 billion (or 68.1% of liabilities) at the end of 1Q16, decreasing 4.1% during the quarter and increasing 20.3% over the last 12 months. The net loans to deposits ratio (including borrowings from domestic development banks) was 114% at the end of 1Q16, which marks an increase in comparison to the 110% reported in 4Q15, and the 113% reported in 1Q15.

 

Bancolombia’s funding strategy during the quarter focused on taking deposits prematurely in order to assure the necessary liquidity for the upcoming months. The objective is to build and maintain ample liquidity on the balance sheet. This strategy, added to the Central Bank’s rate hikes, increased the cost of deposits during the quarter.

1.6.Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital

 

Shareholders’ equity at the end of 1Q16 was COP 18,684 billion, decreasing 3.1% or COP 595 billion, with respect to the COP 19,279 billion reported at the end of 4Q15.

 

Bancolombia’s capital adequacy ratio was 13.0% in 1Q16. This figure highlights the company’s solid capital position.

 

Bancolombia’s capital adequacy ratio was 400 basis points above the minimum 9% required by the Colombian regulator, while the basic capital ratio (Tier 1) to risk weighted assets was 8.20%, 370 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 6.37% at the end of 1Q16.

2.INCOME STATEMENT

 

Net income totaled COP 397 billion in 1Q16, or COP 408.3 per share - USD 0.54 per ADR (excluding discontinued operations). This net income represents a decrease of 39.5% compared to 4Q15 and of 37.1% compared to 1Q15. This drop in net income was impacted by higher income taxes. Bancolombia’s annualized ROE for 1Q16 was 8.1%.

 

2.1.Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income totaled COP 2,311 billion in 1Q16, 20.2% more than that reported in 4Q15, and 30.0% higher than the figure for 1Q15. The positive annual performance of this line was driven by higher volumes in loans and the depreciation of the COP versus the USD. Of this annual increase in revenue, BAM explains 7.11% (24% of marginal variation). The quarterly performance can be explained by improvement in the net interest margin.

 

During 1Q16, the investment, interest rate derivatives and repos portfolio generated COP 184 billion.

 

Net Interest Margin

 

The annualized net interest margin increased to 5.7% in 1Q16. The annualized net interest margin for investments was 3.0%, higher than the -0.5% of 4Q15 and the annualized net interest margin of the loan portfolio was 5.9%, which is higher than the 5.6% in 4Q15.

 

Annualized Interest            
Margin  1Q15   4Q15   1Q16 
Loans' Interest margin   6.0%   5.6%   5.9%
Debt investments' margin   0.9%   -0.5%   3.0%
Net interest margin   5.6%   5.1%   5.7%

 

 

The funding cost increased during 1Q16 due to the increase in the reference rate of the Colombian Central Bank. Savings and checking accounts remained the same as a proportion of the total cost of funding presented last quarter, and the annualized average weighted cost of deposits was 2.79% in 1Q16, increasing 32 basis points compared to 4Q15.

2.5.Operating Expenses

 

During 1Q16, operating expenses totaled COP 1,801 billion, increasing 10.8% with respect to 4Q15 and increasing 23.9% with respect to 1Q15. Of this annual increase in personnel expenses, BAM explains 10.6% (45% of the marginal increase).

 

Personnel expenses (salaries, bonus plan payments and compensation) totaled COP 698 billion in 1Q16, increasing 19.7% compared to 4Q15 and 33.5% compared to 1Q15. Of this annual growth in personnel expenses, BAM explains 8.0% (24% of the marginal increase).

 

During 1Q16, administrative expenses totaled COP 597 billion, decreasing 10.4% compared to 4Q15 and increasing 23.7% as compared to 1Q15. Of this annual growth in administrative expenses, BAM explains 15.4% (67% of the marginal increase).

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled COP 155 billion in 1Q16, increasing 16.3% compared to 4Q15 and 33.5% compared to 1Q15.

 

In 4Q15, the tax on wealth was reclassified under “Operating expenses”.

 

As of March 31, 2016, Bancolombia had 34,511 employees, owned 1,276 branches, 5,080 ATMs, and served 11 million customers.

 

2.6.Taxes

 

The income tax was COP 551 billion, which represented a 113% increase compared to the income tax paid in 1Q15. In 2015, the re-expression of USD denominated liabilities created a lower income tax base, which made the effective tax rate in 1Q15 and in general throughout the year significantly lower than the statutory tax rate.

 

On the other hand, in 1Q16 the COP appreciated versus the USD and this made the income tax base greater, therefore directly impacting the effective tax rate, which was naturally higher. Following this idea, the fluctuations in the FX rate USD/COP increased the differences between tax accounting and financial accounting and caused taxes to increase significantly in 2016 compared to 2015.
