The majority of the Bank’s core financial intermediation business, consisting of gross loans at amortized cost and gross loans at FVOCI (or the “Loan Portfolio”), amounted to $8,070 million at the end of 3Q24, increasing 9% QoQ and 17% YoY, denoting continued demand and business growth from new client onboarding and product cross-selling. In addition, contingencies and acceptances amounted to $1,603 million at the end of 3Q24 (-10% QoQ; +19% YoY).
Consequently, the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio reached an all-time high of $9,673 million at the end of 3Q24, increasing 5% from $9,201 million in the prior quarter and increasing 17% from $8,244 million a year ago. In addition, the average Commercial Portfolio balance increased to $9,136 million in 3Q24 (+4% QoQ and +9% YoY) and to $8,852 million in 9M24 (+12 YoY).
4
As of September 30, 2024, 75% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year and trade finance transactions accounted for 62% of the Bank’s short-term original book.
Weighted average lending rates stood at 8.44% in 3Q24 (-5bps QoQ; +1bp YoY) and 8.49% in 9M24 (+49bps YoY). The yearly increases have continued to be favored by higher lending spreads and increased market-based interest rates.

Commercial Segment Profitability
Profits from the Commercial Business Segment include: (i) net interest income from loans; (ii) fees and commissions from the issuance, confirmation and negotiation of letters of credit, guarantees and loan commitments, as well as through loan structuring and syndication activities; (iii) gain on sale of loans generated through loan intermediation activities, such as sales and distribution in the primary market; (iv) gain (loss) on sale of loans measured at FVTPL; (v) reversal (provision) for credit losses; and (vi) direct and allocated operating expenses.
Commercial Segment Profit totaled $49.8 million in 3Q24 (+5% QoQ and +21% YoY) and $145.0 million in 9M24 (+30% YoY). The Commercial Segment results were mostly driven by increased NII and solid fee income generation, offsetting provision requirements and higher operating expenses.
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 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 $1,708 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $1,899 million as of June 30, 2024, and $1,545 million as of September 30, 2023, 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%, 17% and 15%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 30%, 36% and 37%, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, $1,277 million, or 75% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FED”).
7
Investment Portfolio
The Investment Portfolio, aimed to further diversify credit-risk exposures and provide contingent liquidity funding, amounted to $1,202 million in principal amount as of September 30, 2024, up 6% from the previous quarter and 20% from a year ago. 87% of the Investment Portfolio consists of investment-grade credit securities eligible for the FED discount window, and $100 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 September 30, 2024, total net funding amounted to $9,556 million, a 5% increase compared to $9,102 million a quarter ago, and a 13% increase compared to $8,454 million a year ago.
8
The Bank obtains deposits from central banks, as well as from multilaterals and commercial banks and corporations primarily located in the Region. Total deposits once again reached new record levels at $5,639 million at the end of 3Q24 (+7% QoQ and +34% YoY), representing 59% of total funding sources, compared to 58% in the previous quarter and 50% a year ago, reflecting the change in the funding structure towards increased reliance in deposits.
As of September 30, 2024, the Bank’s Yankee CD program totaled $1.4 billion, or 14% 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 43% of total deposits at the end of 3Q24.
Deposits by Client Type
As a result of the significant deposit growth, funding through short- and medium-term borrowings and debt, net remained stable QoQ and decreased 12% YoY to $3,571 million at the end of 3Q24. 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 $346 million at the end of 3Q24 (+14% QoQ; +77% YoY).
Funding Sources by Product
9
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 in order to avoid any currency mismatch.
Funding Sources by Region
Weighted average funding costs resulted in 5.71% in 3Q24 (stable QoQ; +17 bps YoY) and 5.70% in 9M24 (+55 bps), mainly on higher market interest rates in the first half of the year.
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.

The Treasury Business Segment recorded a $3.2 million profit for 3Q24 (+23% QoQ; -29% YoY) and $9.4 million profit for 9M24 (+15% YoY). The Treasury’s net profits quarterly increase mainly resulted from other income related to its hedging derivatives positions during 3Q24, increased NII from efficient cost of funds management, offsetting provisions for credit losses due to the 6% QoQ increase of the Investment Portfolio, along with increased operating expenses. The 9M24 yearly increase mainly resulted from improved other income (expense) from its hedging derivatives positions and reversal of credit losses, overcompensating increased operating expenses.

NII increased 6% QoQ and 10% YoY to $66.6 million in 3Q24 and 15% to $192.3 million in 9M24. The solid NII levels are the result from improved interest-earning assets mix and volumes, with lower liquidity levels and higher average lending volumes, along with higher lending spreads and an efficient cost of funds driven by a higher deposit base. As a result, NIM increased to 2.55% in 3Q24 (+12 bps QoQ; +8 bps YoY) and 2.49% in 9M24 (+5 bps YoY).

Fees and Commissions, net, resulted in $10.5 million in 3Q24 (-16% QoQ; -6% YoY) and $32.5 million in 9M24 (+45% YoY). The quarterly results were driven by the continued positive trend in fees from our off-balance sheet business (letters of credit and commitments), offsetting the uneven transaction-based nature of the Bank’s loan syndication desk activity. The yearly increase was driven by stronger fees in each of the Bank’s business lines, stemming from the continued addition of new clients and the capture of profitable punctual opportunities.

As of September 30, 2024, the total allowance for credit losses stood at $80.8 million, representing a coverage ratio of 0.7% for the Credit Portfolio, compared to $76.1 million, or 0.7%, at the end of 2Q24, and $56.2 million, or 0.6%, at the end of 3Q23. The $4.7 million quarterly increase in total allowance for losses resulted from the provision charge of $3.5 million for credit losses mostly related to the growth of the Bank’s Credit Portfolio (+5% QoQ), together with an individually assessed credit provision allocation from a credit impaired loan classified in Stage 3 from Stage 2, coupled with $1.1 million in recoveries during 3Q24.
As of September 30, 2024, impaired credits (Stage 3) reached $17 million, or 0.2% of total Credit Portfolio, with ample reserve coverage, compared to $10 million in the previous quarter and a year ago.

Operating expenses totaled $21.0 million in 3Q24 (+15% QoQ; +8% YoY) and $57.6 million in 9M24 (+13% YoY). The quarterly and yearly increases were mostly associated to higher personnel expenses from increased headcount aimed at enhancing business volumes and strengthening the Bank’s strategy execution capabilities, as well as its performance-based variable compensation on strong operating results.
The Efficiency Ratio stood at 27.1% in 3Q24, compared to 24.3% in 2Q24 and 27.2% a year ago, on the back of solid total revenue levels and well-controlled operating expenses. The Efficiency Ratio for 9M24 improved to 25.6%, compared to 27.1% a year ago, as the 20% increase in total revenues overcompensated the 13% increase in operating expenses during the year.
