BLADEX ANNOUNCES NET PROFIT OF $66.5 MILLION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2026 

 
PANAMA CITY, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, JULY 27, 2026
 

Bladex, Inc. (NYSE: BLX, 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 (“2Q26”) and the six months (“6M26”) ended June 30, 2026.

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
 
•All-time high profitability with Net Profits reaching $66.5 million or $1.77 per share in 2Q26 (+4% YoY) and $122.8 million or $3.08 per share in 6M26 (+6% YoY), supported by higher average commercial balances, record fee generation and continued funding optimization, notwithstanding continued margin pressure driven by abundant liquidity and intensified competition for high-quality assets across the Region.

•Adjusted Annualized Return on Equity stood at 16.4% in 2Q26 and 15.3% in 6M26, reflecting disciplined commercial growth, enhanced revenue diversification and continued funding optimization. Including the effect of the AT1 issuance completed in late September 2025, the annualized Return on Equity (“ROE”) reached 15.4% in 2Q26 and 14.5% in 6M26.

•Net Interest Income (“NII”) resulted in $73.3 million in 2Q26 (+8% YoY) and $143.5 million in 6M26 (+8% YoY) mostly driven by higher average business volumes. Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) stood at 2.24% in 2Q26 and 2.29% in 6M26, supported by lower funding costs driven by deposit growth and continued pricing discipline, which was offset by increased market liquidity and intensified competition for high-quality assets that continue to pressure asset pricing and short-term lending spreads.

•Fees and non-interest income reached a record $25.6 million in 2Q26 (+15% YoY), primarily attributable to the growing contribution from fee-generating activities, supported by sustained client engagement and increased transactional activity. Revenues generated by the intermediation of financial instruments have become increasingly an important source of income, generating $1.3 million in 2Q26. Consequently, fees and non-interest income totaled $38.5 million in 6M26 (+10% YoY).

•Well-managed Efficiency Ratio of 24.1% in 2Q26 and 25.2% in 6M26, as higher total revenues more than offset increased operating expenses associated with expanded execution capacity and personnel-related expenses, along with continuing investments in technology, modernization and other strategic initiatives.

•Credit Portfolio reached a record level at $14,466 million as of June 30, 2026 (+19% YoY), resulting from:
◦Commercial Portfolio EoP balances reaching a peak of $13,029 million at the end of 2Q26 (+20% YoY), reflecting growth across loans and contingencies, as the Bank continues to execute its commercial pipeline.
◦Treasury Investment Portfolio of $1,437 million (+5% 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.

•Sound asset quality, with most of the credit portfolio (98.4%) remaining low-risk or Stage 1 at the end of 2Q26. Stage 2 exposures decreased to 1.1% of the portfolio at the end of 2Q26, reflecting credit quality improvements, maturities, repayments and the migration of a specific exposure to Stage 3. As a result, impaired credits or Stage 3 principal balance increased to $75.1 million or 0.5% of total Credit Portfolio, with a reserve coverage of 1.2x.

•Heightened and diversified deposit base, reaching historically high levels of $7,890 million at the end of 2Q26 (+22% YoY), representing 64% of the Bank’s total funding sources. The Bank also maintained ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets.

•Solid liquidity position at $1,922 million, or 13.3% of total assets as of June 30, 2026, mostly consisting of deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (67%) and highly rated banks in the U.S. and other OECD countries (27%).

•The Bank’s Tier 1 Basel III Capital and Regulatory Capital Adequacy Ratios resulted in 16.6% and 14.3% at the end of 2Q26, respectively, both well above internal targets and regulatory minimum, reflecting the strategic deployment of capital to support profitable business growth.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
 
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 and investment securities managed by the Commercial business unit (or “Commercial Bond Portfolio”).

The majority of the Bank’s core financial intermediation business, consisting of loans – principal balance (or the “Loan Portfolio”), amounted to $10,462 million at the end of 2Q26, representing an increase of 8% QoQ and 22% YoY, as the Bank continues to execute its commercial pipeline, including medium-tenor transactions with attractive risk-adjusted returns and stronger trade-related activity across several markets. Contingencies and acceptances amounted to $2,341 million at the end of 2Q26 (+11% QoQ and +5% YoY), supporting solid client demand and commercial activity across the Region. Additionally, the Bank’s Commercial Bond Portfolio reached principal balances of $226 million registered as securities at fair value through comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), as of June 30, 2026.

Consequently, the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio reached an all-time high of $13,029 million at the end of 2Q26, with increases of 8% from $12,047 million in the prior quarter and of 20% from $10,819 million a year ago, highlighting the continued growth resulting from the strategy execution aligned with disciplined capital management. In addition, the average Commercial Portfolio balances totaled $12,394 million in 2Q26 (+10% QoQ and +17% YoY) and $11,858 million in 6M26 (+14% YoY).

5

As of June 30, 2026, 65% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year and trade finance transactions accounted for 56% of the Bank’s short-term book, based on original tenor. 

Weighted average lending rates stood at 6.57% in 2Q26 (-14bps QoQ; -85bps YoY) and 6.64% for 6M26 (-83bps YoY), reflecting continued margin compression driven from elevated USD market liquidity and intensified competition for high-quality assets, which continues to pressure asset pricing, yields and spreads, as well as the lagged effect of the market interest rate cuts implemented in late 2025 as the portfolio continues to reprice.

6

Bladex maintains well-diversified exposures across countries and industries. At the end of 2Q26, Guatemala represents the largest country-risk exposure of the total Commercial Portfolio at 14%, followed by Brazil at 12%, Mexico and Colombia, each at 10%, Panama and Dominican Republic, each at 9%, and exposure to top-rated countries outside of Latin America at 6%, which relates to transactions carried out in the Region. As of June 30, 2026, 35% of the Commercial Portfolio was geographically distributed in investment grade countries.

Exposure to the Bank’s traditional client base comprising financial institutions represented 27% of the total, while sovereign and state-owned corporations accounted for another 16%. Exposure to corporates accounted for the remainder 57% of the Commercial Portfolio, comprised of top-tier clients and well diversified across sectors, with the most significant exposures in Electric Power and Oil & Gas (Integrated), each at 10%, Food and Beverage at 8%, and Retail Trade and Oil & Gas (Downstream) at 5% each, of the Commercial Portfolio at the end of 2Q26.

Refer to Exhibit IX for additional information related to the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio distribution by country.

Commercial Segment Profitability 

Profits from the Commercial Business Segment include: (i) net interest income from loans and investment securities of the Commercial bond Portfolio; (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) impairment losses on financial instruments; and (vi) direct and allocated operating expenses.

Profit for the segment$62.2 $53.1 $59.7 17 %4 %$115.3 $107.6 7 %

 
Commercial Segment Profit totaled $62.2 million in 2Q26 (+17% QoQ and +4% YoY) and $115.3 million in 6M26 (+7% YoY). The increases were mostly driven by the continued top line performance in net interest income supported by heightened average business volumes coupled with strong fee income generation, offsetting the effects of higher operating expenses and increased impairment losses on financial instruments, mainly from increasing Commercial Portfolio balances. 

TREASURY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Treasury Business Segment manages the Bank’s Treasury 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 Treasury investment management activities, consisting of the principal balances of securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and securities at amortized cost (the “Treasury 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 $1,922 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1,988 million as of March 31, 2026, and $1,959 million as of June 30, 2025, highlighting the Bank’s proactive and prudent liquidity management approach in response to higher interest-bearing assets, also conforming with Basel methodology’s liquidity coverage ratio, as required by Panamanian banking regulator. At the end of those periods, liquidity balances to total assets represented 13.3%, 14.5% and 15.5%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 24%, 27% and 30%, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, 67% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) and 27% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with highly rated banks in the U.S and other OECD countries.

8

Treasury Investment Portfolio 

The Treasury Investment Portfolio, focused on further diversifying credit-risk exposures and providing contingent liquidity funding, amounted to $1,437 million in principal amount as of June 30, 2026, stable from the previous quarter and up 5% from a year ago. As of June 30, 2026, 99% of the Treasury Investment Portfolio consists of investment-grade credit securities eligible for the FRBNY discount window, and $97 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 the principal balances of deposits, borrowed funds and floating and fixed rate debt placements. As of June 30, 2026, total net funding amounted to $12,270 million, representing an increase of 6% compared to $11,607 million a quarter ago, and of 18% compared to $10,423 million a year ago, as the Bank continues to diversify its funding base to support the Bank’s ongoing commercial growth.

The Bank obtains deposits from central banks, as well as from multilaterals, commercial banks, brokers and corporations primarily located in the Region. The principal balance of deposits reached a record $7,890 million at the end of 2Q26 (+8% QoQ and +22% YoY), representing 64% of total funding sources. The Bank’s Yankee CD program also reached a record level of $1,973 million, or 16% of total funding sources. These results reflect continued progress in expanding and diversifying the Bank’s deposit base, supported by effective cross-selling efforts and long-standing relationships with central banks, financial institutions, corporations and other institutional depositors.

Class A shareholders (i.e.: central banks and their designees) represented 34% of total deposits at the end of 2Q26, continuing to provide an important and stable component of the Bank’s deposit franchise.

9

Funding through the principal balance of short and medium-term borrowings and debt, net of transaction costs and interest payable increased 1% QoQ and 9% YoY to $4,149 million at the end of 2Q26. The Bank’s ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets is clearly evidenced through public debt issuances in Mexico and Panama, coupled with private debt issuances placed in different markets primarily in Asia, Europe, the United States and Latin America. Funding through the principal balance of securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”) reached $274 million at the end of 2Q26 (+12% QoQ; +39% YoY).

The Bank's funding sources are well diversified across geographies and currencies. The Bank maintained no significant foreign exchange risk and does hold material open foreign exchange positions. Most funding obtained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar is hedged into U.S. dollars through derivative instruments, while a smaller portion is matched with assets denominated in the same currency, thereby avoiding currency mismatches.

10

Weighted average funding costs resulted in 4.37% in 2Q26 (-6bps QoQ; -62bps YoY) and 4.40% for 6M26 (-64bps YoY), primarily driven by improved funding efficiency resulting from a shift in funding mix towards greater reliance in deposits.

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, gain (loss) on intermediary derivatives and other income), recovery or impairment loss on financial instruments, and direct and allocated operating expenses.

The Treasury Business Segment recorded $4.2 million profit for 2Q26 (+29% QoQ; -5% YoY) and $7.5 million profit for 6M26 (-9% YoY). The quarterly increase was primarily driven by gains resulting from the Bank’s sales and intermediation of financial instruments and hedging derivatives and foreign exchange positions, offsetting increased operating expenses. The year-to-date decrease was mainly associated with lower results from the Bank’s hedging derivatives and foreign exchange positions, coupled with increased operating expenses.

11

NII resulted in $73.3 million in 2Q26 (+4% QoQ; +8% YoY) and $143.5 million in 6M26 (+8% YoY). Solid NII levels continued to be supported by higher average business volumes, continued pricing discipline, the execution of medium-term transactions with attractive risk-adjusted returns and continued deposit growth that contributed to an efficient cost of funds. These factors help mitigate the ongoing market dynamics, as margin compression driven by high USD market liquidity and intensified competition for high-quality assets continue to pressure asset pricing and short-term lending spreads. Alongside the factors discussed above and considering the cumulative impact of market reference rate cuts implemented last year, NIM stood at 2.24% in 2Q26 and 2.29% for 6M26.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
 
Non-Interest Income comprises Fees and Commissions, net, including revenues associated with the letter of credit business and guarantees, credit commitments, structuring services, loan intermediation and distribution in the primary market, and other commissions, net of expenses; gains (losses) on financial instruments, net, including gains from the sales of financial instruments, as well as unrealized gains or losses on fair value valuations; and other income, net.

Non-interest income reached $25.6 million in 2Q26 (+99% QoQ; +15% YoY) and $38.5 million in 6M26 (+10% YoY). Fees from letters of credit and guarantees totaled $9.5 million in 2Q26 and $16.8 million in 6M26, supported by sustained client activity and higher transaction volumes. The Bank’s syndication and structuring activities generated $7.9 million of fee income in 2Q26 and $11.0 million in 6M26, as the Bank completed seven transactions during the quarter (nine transactions during the first half of the year, totaling nearly $2.0 billion) supporting financial institutions and corporate clients across six countries and reflecting its regional origination, structuring and distribution capabilities. Credit-commitment fees reached $5.2 million in 2Q26 and $8.8 million in 6M26, primarily reflecting the continued expansion of the Bank’s project and infrastructure finance activities. As the Bank continues to diversify its sources of non-interest income, revenues from the intermediation of financial instruments contributed $1.3 million in 2Q26 and $1.6 million in 6M26. During the quarter, the Bank also recorded higher net gains from hedging derivatives and foreign-exchange positions, together with gains from the sale of investment securities.

As of June 30, 2026, the total allowance for losses stood at $93.8 million, compared to $112.3 million the previous quarter, and $95.1 million a year ago. 

13

The $18.5 million decrease in allowance for credit losses in 2Q26 was mainly associated with the net effect of (i) $28.2 million credit write-offs mostly related to impaired credits of a client in the upstream gas sector and a client in the primary metals manufacturing, both in Colombia, as well as the partial sale of exposures related to a petrochemical company in Brazil that had previously been categorized at Stage 2 due to a significant increase in credit risk since origination, (ii) recoveries of $1.1 million related to a previous write-off loan and (iii) charges for impairment losses on financial instruments amounting to $8.6 million in 2Q26, mainly driven by the growth of the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio.

Credits categorized as Stage 1 or low-risk credits under IFRS 9 accounted for 98.4% of total credits, while Stage 2 exposures decreased to 1.1% of the portfolio, reflecting credit quality improvements, maturities, repayments and the migration to Stage 3 of a deferred-payment letters of credit exposure related to a petrochemical company in Brazil. As a result, impaired credits or Stage 3 principal balance increased to $75.1 million, or 0.5% of total Credit Portfolio, compared to $38.7 million in the previous quarter and $18.7 million a year ago. 

Allowances for losses associated with the Credit Portfolio represented a coverage ratio of 0.6% at the end of 2Q26. Total allowance for credit losses to impaired credits resulted in 1.2 times.

Operating expenses totaled $23.8 million in 2Q26 (+8% QoQ; +14% YoY) and $45.9 million in 6M26 (+10% YoY). The quarterly and yearly increases were mostly associated with increased execution capacity and personnel-related expenses, along with continuing investments in technology, modernization and other business initiatives related to the Bank’s strategic priorities, including its associated operating costs and depreciation and amortization. 

The Efficiency Ratio totaled 24.1% in 2Q26 (-237bps QoQ; +97bps YoY) and 25.2% for 6M26 (+29bps YoY) as higher total revenues offset the pressure from ongoing operating expenses, demonstrating the Bank’s ability to absorb strategic investments while preserving cost discipline, balancing investments in growth, modernization and transformation with a continued focus on operating leverage and efficiency.
