Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) is an issuer of securities in Colombia and in the United States, registered with Colombia’s National Registry of Shares and Issuers (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, it is subject to the control of the Superintendency of Finance and compliance with applicable U.S. securities regulation as a “foreign private issuer” under Rule 405 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.

 

All of our banking subsidiaries (Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular and Banco AV Villas), Porvenir and Corficolombiana, are subject to inspection and surveillance as financial institutions by the Superintendency of Finance. Although we are not a financial institution, as a result of the enactment of Law 1870 of 2017, also known as Law of Financial Conglomerates, starting on 2018, Grupo Aval will be subject to the supervision and regulation of the Superintendency of Finance. Grupo Aval, as the holding company of its financial conglomerate will become responsible for the compliance with capital adequacy requirements, corporate governance standards, financial risk management and internal control framework and criteria for identifying, managing and revealing conflicts of interest, applicable to its financial conglomerate. 

 

The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this document is presented in accordance with IFRS as currently issued by the IASB. Details of the calculations of non-GAAP measures such as ROAA and ROAE, among others, are explained when required in this report. 

 

The results for 1Q2018 are not comparable to previous quarters due to the prospective adoption in Colombia of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 starting in January 1, 2018.

 

This report may include forward-looking statements, which actual results may vary from those stated herein as a consequence of changes in general, economic and business conditions, changes in interest and currency rates and other risks factors as evidenced in our Form 20-F available at the SEC webpage. Recipients of this document are responsible for the assessment and use of the information provided herein. Grupo Aval will not have any obligation to update the information herein and shall not be responsible for any decision taken by investors in connection with this document.

Bogotá, May 16 th , 2018. GRUPO AVAL ACCIONES Y VALORES S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) reports a consolidated attributable net income result of Ps 597.7 billion (Ps 26.8 pesos per share) for 1Q18 versus a Ps 466.7 billion (Ps 20.9 pesos per share) figure reported for 4Q17. ROAE for the quarter was 15.3% and ROAA was 1.6%.

 

 

Slow loan growth continued during 1Q2018 across all loan categories, but mainly in corporate loans. It is expected that growth recovery will gain momentum in 2H2018 due to positive macro trends and less political and fiscal uncertainty.

 

The 1Q2018 Tangible Equity Ratio reflects the one-time adjustment due to the adoption of IFRS 9 and a seasonal annual impact due to shareholders´ dividends.

 

30 days PDL and 90 day NPL were 4.25% and 2.86% for the quarter.  On a positive note, for the third consecutive quarter the amount of new loans becoming 90 days past due decreased suggesting the end of the cycle might be near.

 

Cost of risk for the quarter was 2.3%, including 24 bps of impact due to specific large corporate exposures (primarily Electricaribe).

 

NIM during 1Q2018 showed resilience with a consolidated decline of only 10 bps versus 4Q2017.

 

Fee income ratio continued to hold at 26% for the quarter with pension and banking fees growing at a similar pace than consolidated assets.

 

Improvement in the efficiency ratio shows the results of the continuous effort on cost control initiatives which will remain in effect in a scenario of low growth.

 

Net income for the quarter was $598 billion or Ps 26.8 per share and ROAE for the quarter was 15.3%.

 

Gross loans excludes interbank and overnight funds. Tangible Capital Ratio is calculated as Total Equity minus Goodwill and other Intangibles divided by Total Assets minus Goodwill and other Intangibles. Net Interest Margin includes net interest income plus net trading income from investment securities held for trading through profit or loss divided by total average interest-earning assets. Fee income ratio is calculated fee net income divided by net interest income plus net trading income, other income and fees and other services income, net (excluding others). Efficiency Ratio is calculated as personnel plus administrative and other expenses excluding wealth tax divided by net interest income plus net trading income, other income and fees and other services income, net (excluding others). ROAA is calculated as annualized Net Income divided by average of total assets. ROAE is calculated as Net Income attributable to Aval's shareholders divided by average attributable shareholders' equity.

Growth in assets was mainly driven by a 3.2% year over year growth in total loans and receivables, net to Ps 156,099.6 billion. When excluding FX movement in our Central American operation (“excluding FX”), asset growth would have been 3.3% versus March 31st, 2017 and 0.2% versus December 31st, 2017; for total loans and receivables, net growth would have been 4.3% versus March 31st, 2017 and -0.9% versus December 31st, 2017.

 

1.1 Loans and receivables

 

Total gross loans and receivables (excluding interbank and overnight funds) increased by 4.3% between March 31st, 2017 and March 31st, 2018 to Ps 157,037.7 billion (5.3% excluding FX) mainly driven by (i) a 8.3% increase in Mortgage and housing leases to Ps 15,824.7 billion (10.7% excluding FX), (ii) a 6.0% increase in Consumer loans and leases to Ps 49,675.0 billion (7.3% excluding FX), and (iii) a 2.7% increase in Commercial loans and leases to Ps 91,124.8 billion (3.4% excluding FX).

 

Interbank & overnight funds increased by 17.7% to Ps 6,000.5 billion (19.6% excluding FX) during the last twelve months.

 

Allowance for impairment of loans and receivables was Ps 6,938.6 billion as of March 31st, 2018 taking net loans and receivables to Ps 156,099.6 billion, 3.2% higher than in March 31st, 2017.

 

The increase in allowance for impairment of loans and receivables when compared to March 31st,2017 and December 31st, 2017 was mainly driven by the adoption of IFRS9 on January 1st, 2018.

Our net interest income increased by 7.4% to Ps 2,728.3 billion for 1Q18 versus 1Q17 and increased by 2.5% versus 4Q17. The increase versus 1Q17 was derived from a 15.0% decrease in total interest expense and a 3.0% decrease in total interest income.

 2. Impairment loss on financial assets, net

 

Our impairment loss on financial assets, net increase by 17.6% to Ps 873.4 billion for 1Q18 versus 1Q17 and decreased by 27.4% versus 4Q17. The increase on impairment loss on loans and accounts receivable in 1Q18 versus 1Q17 was mainly driven by an increase on impairment losses on our commercial loan book. The decrease versus 4Q17 was mainly explained by lower provisions on Concesionaria Ruta del Sol (CRDS) and Electricaribe.

 

The decrease on impairment loss on other assets in 1Q18 is explained by the reversal of USD 17.3 million (Ps 49.4 billion) impairment, registered in 2Q16, due to the sale of our investments in OI and Telemar in 1Q18. This decrease was offset by a USD 17.7 million (Ps 50.5 billion) loss on sale on investments.

Core Earnings / Interest Expense (2)   4.0x   5.5x   5.5x   0.0 1.5
