    Panama City, Republic of Panama                             August 4, 2025


    BLADEX ANNOUNCES 2Q25 NET PROFIT OF $64.2 MILLION , OR $1.73 PER SHARE, RESULTING IN AN ANNUALIZED RETURN ON EQUITY OF 18.5%
    Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. (NYSE: BLX, “Bladex”, or “the Bank”), a Panama-based multinational bank originally established by the central banks of 23 Latin-American and Caribbean countries to promote foreign trade and economic integration in the Region, announced today its results for the Second Quarter (“2Q25”) and six months (“6M25”) ended June 30, 2025.

    The consolidated financial information in this document has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).


    FINANCIAL & BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
    •Improved profitability, with Net Profits reaching $64.2 million in 2Q25 (+28% YoY) and $115.9 million in 6M25 (+14% YoY), fostered by strong top-line revenues, with stable credit provisions and greater efficiency.
    •Annualized Return on Equity (“ROE”) increased to 18.5% in 2Q25 (+222 bps YoY) and 17.0% in 6M25 (+47 bps YoY), on the back of stronger income growth and the strengthening of the Bank's business model and successful execution of its strategy.
    •Net Interest Income (“NII”) increased to a record-high of $67.7 million in 2Q25 (+8% YoY) and $133.0 million in 6M25 (+6% YoY), mainly driven by higher average business volumes and margin stability. Consequently, Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) stood at 2.36% for 2Q25 (-7bps YoY) and 6M25 (-9bps YoY), in the face of increased USD market liquidity driving competitive pricing.
    •Record Fee Income at $19.9 million for 2Q25 (+59% YoY) and $30.5 million in 6M25 (+39% YoY), driven by the strong performance in all business lines, highlighted by the Bank's largest ever structured transaction and higher fees from letters of credit and credit commitments.
    •Well-managed Efficiency Ratio of 23.1% for 2Q25 and 24.9% in 6M25, as revenue growth overcompensated the ongoing investments in technology, modernization and other business initiatives related to the Bank’s strategy execution.
    •Credit Portfolio reached new all-time high at $12,182 million as of June 30, 2025 (+18% YoY), resulting from:
    ◦Commercial Portfolio EoP balances reaching an historic peak of $10,819 million at the end of 2Q25 (+18% YoY), driven by higher off-balance sheet business (+25% YoY), supported by strong credit demand across all business products.
    ◦Investment Portfolio amounted to $1,363 million (+20% YoY), mostly consisting of investment-grade securities outside of Latin America held at amortized cost, further enhancing country and credit-risk diversification and providing contingent liquidity funding.
    •Healthy asset quality, with most of the credit portfolio (97.9%) remaining low risk or Stage 1 at the end of 2Q25. Impaired credits or Stage 3 principal balance totaled $19 million or 0.2% of total Credit Portfolio, with a robust reserve coverage of 5.1x.
    •Steady growth of the Bank’s deposit base, reaching $6,446 million at the end of 2Q25 (+23% YoY), representing a new all-time high, and 62% of the Bank’s total funding sources (+4pp YoY). The Bank also counts on ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets, denoted by its most recent $4 billion MXN bond issuance in the Mexican capital market.
    •Strong Liquidity position at $1,959 million, or 15.5% of total assets as of June 30, 2025, mostly consisting of deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (96%).
    •The Bank´s Tier 1 Basel III Capital and Regulatory Capital Adequacy Ratios stood at 15.0% and 13.9%, respectively, enhanced by strong earnings generation and within the Bank’s risk appetite.

    Panama City, Republic of Panama                             August 4, 2025

    Bladex’s activities are comprised of two business segments, Commercial and Treasury. Information related to each segment is set out below. Business segment reporting is based on the Bank’s managerial accounting process, which assigns assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense items to each business segment on a systemic basis.



    COMMERCIAL BUSINESS SEGMENT

    The Commercial Business Segment encompasses the Bank’s core business of financial intermediation and fee generation activities developed to cater to corporations, financial institutions, and investors in Latin America. These activities include the origination of bilateral short-term and medium-term loans, structured and syndicated credits, loan commitments, and financial guarantee contracts such as issued and confirmed letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit, guarantees covering commercial risk, and other assets consisting of customers’ liabilities under acceptances.

    The majority of the Bank’s core financial intermediation business, consisting of loans – principal balance (or the “Loan Portfolio”), amounted to $8,597 million at the end of 2Q25, representing a slight decrease of 1% QoQ and an increase of 16% YoY, as the Bank continued experiencing strong credit demand, even in the context of global uncertainty and ample market liquidity. In addition, contingencies and acceptances amounted to $2,222 million at the end of 2Q25 (+11% QoQ; +25% YoY), reflecting sustained growth in commercial activity across the Region and strong demand in each segment of letters of credit, guarantees and credit commitments.

    Panama City, Republic of Panama                             August 4, 2025


    Consequently, the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio reached an all-time high of $10,819 million at the end of 2Q25, increasing 1% from $10,686 million in the prior quarter and increasing 18% from $9,201 million a year ago. In addition, the average Commercial Portfolio balance increased to $10,626 million in 2Q25 (+4% QoQ and +21% YoY) and to $10,405 million in 6M25 (+19% YoY).




    screenshot2025-07x21153210a.jpg



    As of June 30, 2025, 69% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year and trade finance transactions accounted for 63% of the Bank’s short-term original book.

    Weighted average lending rates stood at 7.42% in 2Q25 (-11 bps QoQ; -107 bps YoY) and 7.47% in 6M25 (-104 bps YoY), reflecting the continued effect of lower USD market-based interest rates and ample market liquidity driving competitive pricing.

    Commercial Portfolio by Country



    screenshot2025-07x17143257a.jpg



    Bladex maintains well-diversified exposures across countries and industries. Brazil at 14% of the total Commercial Portfolio, continues to represent the largest country-risk exposure, followed by Guatemala at 12%, Mexico at 11%, the Dominican Republic and Colombia at 9% each and Peru at 7%. Exposure to top-rated countries outside of Latin America, which relates to transactions carried out in the Region, represented 7% of the portfolio at the end of 2Q25. As of June 30, 2025, 38% of the Commercial Portfolio was geographically distributed in investment grade countries.

    Exposure to the Bank’s traditional client base comprising financial institutions represented 32% of the total, while sovereign and state-owned corporations accounted for another 12%. Exposure to corporates accounted for the remainder 56% of the Commercial Portfolio, comprised of top-tier clients well diversified across sectors, with the most significant exposures in Electric Power at 9%, Food and Beverage at 8%, Oil & Gas (Integrated) at 7%, Oil & Gas (Downstream) at 6% and Metal Manufacturing at 5% of the Commercial Portfolio at the end of 2Q25.

    Commercial Segment Profit totaled $59.7 million in 2Q25 (+25% QoQ and +26% YoY) and $107.6 million in 6M25 (+13% YoY), mostly driven by increased top line performance in NII and fee income generation, partly offset by higher letters of credit business and higher YoY operating expenses associated with the Bank’s increased commercial workforce and strategy execution.



    Panama City, Republic of Panama                             August 4, 2025


    TREASURY BUSINESS SEGMENT

    The Treasury Business Segment manages the Bank’s investment portfolio and overall asset and liability structure to enhance funding efficiency and liquidity, mitigating the traditional financial risks associated with the balance sheet, such as interest rate, liquidity, price, and currency risks. Interest-earning assets managed by the Treasury Business Segment include liquidity positions in cash and cash equivalents, as well as highly liquid corporate debt securities rated ‘A-‘ or above, and financial instruments related to investment management activities, consisting of the principal balances of securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and securities at amortized cost (the “Investment Portfolio”). The Treasury Business Segment also manages the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits, securities sold under repurchased agreements, borrowed funds and floating and fixed rate debt placements.



    Liquidity

    The Bank’s liquid assets, mostly consisting of cash and due from banks, totaled $1,959 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1,852 million as of March 31, 2025, and $1,899 million as of June 30, 2024 , conforming with the Bank’s proactive and prudent liquidity management approach, which follows Basel methodology’s liquidity coverage ratio, as required by Panamanian banking regulator. At the end of those periods, liquidity balances to total assets represented 15%, 15% and 17%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 30%, 32% and 36% respectively. As of June 30, 2025, 96% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FED”), and 2% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with highly rated U.S. banks.

    Investment Portfolio

    The Investment Portfolio, focused on further diversifying credit-risk exposures and providing contingent liquidity funding, amounted to $1,363 million in principal amount as of June 30, 2025, up 8% from the previous quarter and up 20% from a year ago. As of June 30, 2025, 86% of the Investment Portfolio consists of investment-grade credit securities eligible for the FED discount window, and $48 million consists of highly rated corporate debt securities (‘A-‘ or above) classified as high quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) in accordance with the specifications of the Basel Committee.

    Refer to Exhibit X for a per-country risk distribution of the Investment Portfolio.

    Funding

    The Bank’s principal sources of funds are deposits, borrowed funds and floating and fixed rate debt placements. As of June 30, 2025, total net funding amounted to $10,423 million, a 1% increase compared to $10,322 million a quarter ago, and a 15% increase compared to $9,102 million a year ago, as the Bank continues to expand and diversify its funding base aligned with the ongoing commercial strategic initiatives.

    The Bank obtains deposits from central banks, as well as from multilaterals, commercial banks and corporations primarily located in the Region. Total deposits amounted to $6,446 million at the end of 2Q25 (+10% QoQ and +23% YoY), representing a new all-time high, and 62% of total funding sources, compared to 57% and 58%, a quarter and a year ago, respectively, highlighting the change in the funding structure towards increased reliance in deposits.

    As of June 30, 2025, the Bank’s Yankee CD program totaled $1,306 million, or 13% of total funding sources, providing granularity and complementing the short-term funding structure and long-standing support from the Bank’s Class A shareholders (i.e.: central banks and their designees), which represented 37% of total deposits at the end of 2Q25.

    Deposits by Client Type
    screenshot2025-07x17144801a.jpg
    Funding through short and medium-term borrowings and debt, net decreased 6% QoQ and increased 7% YoY to $3,779 million at the end of 2Q25. This ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets is clearly evidenced through public debt issuances in Mexico, Panama and the United States, coupled with private debt issuances placed in different markets primarily in Asia, Europe and Latin America. Funding through securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”) reached $197 million at the end of 2Q25 (-57% QoQ; -35% YoY).


    Funding Sources by Product

    screenshot2025-07x18180154a.jpg




    Panama City, Republic of Panama                             August 4, 2025

    The Bank's funding sources are well diversified across geographies and currencies. In addition, the Bank has no significant foreign exchange risk, nor does it hold material open foreign exchange positions. Funding obtained in other currencies is hedged with derivatives to avoid any currency mismatch.



    Funding Sources by Region


    screenshot2025-07x18180239a.jpg



    Weighted average funding costs resulted in 4.99% in 2Q25 (-11 bps QoQ; -72 bps YoY) and 5.04% in 6M25 (-65 bps YoY), reflecting the continued effect of lower USD market-based interest rates.


    Treasury Segment Profitability

    Profits from the Treasury Business Segment include net interest income derived from the above-mentioned Treasury assets and liabilities, and related net other income (net results from derivative financial instruments and foreign currency exchange, gain (loss) per financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), gain (loss) on sale of securities at FVOCI, and other income), recovery or impairment loss on financial instruments, and direct and allocated operating expenses.

Solid NII levels continue to be supported by a steady increase in business volumes, margin stability and disciplined pricing, together with a higher deposit base allowing for an efficient cost of funds, partly offset by the continued effect of increased USD market liquidity driving competitive pricing. As a result, NIM stood at 2.36% in 2Q25 and 6M25.



    FEES AND COMMISSIONS
    Fees and Commissions, net, include revenues associated with the letter of credit business and guarantees, credit commitments, loan structuring and syndication, loan intermediation and distribution in the primary market, and other commissions, net of fee and commission expenses.

These results were driven by higher fees in each of the Bank’s business lines, achieving a standout, record-setting performance of its syndications desk, alongside higher fee income from our off-balance sheet business (letters of credit and commitments) driven by an effective strategic execution, strong cross-selling initiatives and optimized processes.

    As of June 30, 2025, the total allowance for losses stood at $95.1 million, compared to $90.0 million at the end of 1Q25, and $76.1 million a year ago. The $5.0 million provision for credit losses in 2Q25 was mostly associated to strengthening the reserves allocated to exposures classified at Stage 2 with increased risk since origination and individually assessed credit reserves allocated to impaired loans on Stage 3. Allowances for losses associated with the Credit Portfolio represented a coverage ratio of 0.8% at the end of 2Q25.

    As of June 30, 2025, the principal balance of impaired credits (Stage 3) increased to $18.7 million, or 0.2% of total Credit Portfolio, with ample reserve coverage, compared to $17.0 million in the previous quarter and $10.1 million a year ago. Total allowance for credit losses to impaired credits resulted in 5.1 times. Credits categorized as Stage 1 or low-risk credits under IFRS 9 accounted for 97.9% of total credits, while Stage 2 credits represented 2.0% of total credits.
