BLADEX ANNOUNCES NET PROFITS OF $56.0 MILLION OR $1.50 PER SHARE IN 4Q25 AND $226.9 MILLION OR $6.11 PER SHARE IN 2025

PANAMA CITY, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, FEBRUARY 12, 2026

Bladex (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 Fourth Quarter (“4Q25”) and Full-year (“FY25”) ended December 31, 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
Solid profitability, with Net Profits reaching $56.0 million in 4Q25 (+9% YoY) and $226.9 million in FY25 (+10% YoY), fostered by continued business growth, strengthened revenue generation and disciplined credit-risk and cost management.
Adjusted Annualized Return on Equity (“ROE”) stood at 14.2% for 4Q25 and 15.8% for FY25, reflecting the impact of interest rate cuts implemented by the FED since 2024. Including the effect of the AT1 issuance completed in late September 2025, the ROE reached 13.4% in 4Q25 and 15.4% in FY25.
Net Interest Income (“NII”) improved to $70.8 million in 4Q25 (+6% YoY) and $271.2 million in FY25 (+5% YoY), mostly driven by higher average business volumes. Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) stood at 2.39% for 4Q25 (-4bps YoY) and 2.36% for FY25 (-11bps YoY), reflecting lower base rates and increased market liquidity driving competitive pricing and margin compression, which was partially offset by improved funding costs driven by deposit growth, as well as pricing discipline.
Strong fees and non-interest income at $18.0 million for 4Q25 (+57% YoY) and $68.4 million for FY25 (+54% YoY), stemming from record level performance of the Bank’s core trade-finance and structuring activities, together with strong strategic execution and broader revenue diversification, as derivatives income and secondary-market loan activity have become an increasingly important source of revenue stream.
Well-managed Efficiency Ratio of 30.9% for 4Q25 and 26.7% in FY25, a slight increase YoY due to higher operating expenses from ongoing investments in technology, modernization and other business initiatives related to the Bank’s strategic priorities, and headcount growth to strengthen execution capabilities.
Credit Portfolio reached new all-time high at $12,599 million as of December 31, 2025 (+12% YoY), resulting from:
Commercial Portfolio EoP balances reaching a peak of $11,184 million at the end of 4Q25 (+11% YoY), reflecting strong growth across all products lines.
Investment Portfolio of $1,415 million (+19% 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 (98.2%) remaining low-risk or Stage 1 at the end of 4Q25. Stage 2 exposures decreased to 1.5% of the portfolio at the end of 4Q25, reflecting credit quality improvement on country upgrades and scheduled repayments, while a single exposure deteriorated to Stage 3. Impaired credits or Stage 3 principal balance totaled $38.7 million or 0.3% of total Credit Portfolio, with a reserve coverage of 2.8x.
Solid and diversified deposit base, reaching $6,604 million at the end of 4Q25 (+22% YoY), representing 62% of the Bank’s total funding sources (+8pp YoY). The Bank also maintained ample and constant access to interbank and debt capital markets, most recently denoted by the reopening of $2 billion MXN bond issued in December 2025 in the Mexican capital market.
Strong Liquidity position at $1,911 million, or 14.9% of total assets as of December 31, 2025, mostly consisting of deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (91%).
The Bank´s Tier 1 Basel III Capital and Regulatory Capital Adequacy Ratios resulted in 17.4% and 15.5% at the end of 4Q25, respectively, both well above internal targets and regulatory minimum, providing ample headroom for capital deployment following the successful execution of the Bank’s inaugural AT1 issuance in late September 2025.
Increased common dividend to $0.6875 per share for the 4Q25 up from $0.625 per share. The 10% dividend increase reflects the Bank’s record financial performance in 2025 and underscores its continued commitment to delivering attractive shareholder returns while maintaining financial strength and flexibility.

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.

The majority of the Bank’s core financial intermediation business, consisting of loans – principal balance (or the “Loan Portfolio”), amounted to $9,181 million at the end of 4Q25, representing an increase of 5% QoQ and 10% YoY, as the Bank selectively deployed balance-sheet capacity following the AT1 issuance, driven by longer-tenor transactions with attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition, contingencies and acceptances amounted to $2,003 million at the end of 4Q25 (-6% QoQ; +21% YoY), complementing loan growth and supporting solid client demand and commercial activity across the Region.

Consequently, the Bank’s Commercial Portfolio reached an all-time high of $11,184 million at the end of 4Q25, with increases of 3% from $10,872 million in the prior quarter and of 11% from $10,035 million a year ago, highlighting a well-executed growth strategy aligned with prudent capital management. In addition, the average Commercial Portfolio balance totaled $10,738 million in 4Q25 (+1 QoQ and +12% YoY) and $10,537 million in FY25 (+16% YoY).
image3a.jpg

As of December 31, 2025, 67% of the Commercial Portfolio was scheduled to mature within a year and trade finance transactions accounted for 53% of the Bank’s short-term original book.

Weighted average lending rates stood at 7.05% in 4Q25 (-29bps QoQ; -85bps YoY) and 7.33% in FY25 (-100bps YoY), reflecting the impact of lower USD market-based interest rates and ample market liquidity driving competitive pricing.

image8a.jpg
Bladex maintains well-diversified exposures across countries and industries. At the end of 4Q25, Guatemala represents the largest country-risk exposure of the total Commercial Portfolio at 15%, followed by Mexico at 12%, Brazil at 11%, Colombia and Dominican Republic at 10% each, and exposure to top-rated countries outside of Latin America at 8%, which relates to transactions carried out in the Region. As of December 31, 2025, 36% 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 14%. Exposure to corporates accounted for the remainder 59% of the Commercial Portfolio, comprised of top-tier clients well diversified across sectors, with the most significant exposures in Oil & Gas (Integrated) at 12%, Electric Power at 10%, Food and Beverage at 9%, Oil & Gas (Downstream) and Other Manufacturing Industries at 5% each, of the Commercial Portfolio at the end of 4Q25.

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; (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) reversals (impairment losses) of financial instruments; and (vi) direct and allocated operating expenses.

Commercial Segment Profit totaled $52.0 million in 4Q25 (stable QoQ and +5% YoY) and $211.6 million in FY25 (+9% YoY). The increases were mostly driven by strong top line performance in NII coupled with strengthened fee and commissions and secondary-market loan income generation, offsetting the effects of higher operating expenses and impairment losses on financial instruments.

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 $1,911 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $1,934 million as of September 30, 2025, and $1,918 million as of December 31, 2024, 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 14.9%, 15.5% and 16.2%, respectively, while the liquidity balances to total deposits ratio was 29%, 28% and 35%, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, 91% of total liquid assets represented deposits placed with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FED”).

imagea.jpg


Investment Portfolio

The Investment Portfolio, focused on further diversifying credit-risk exposures and providing contingent liquidity funding, amounted to $1,415 million in principal amount as of December 31, 2025, stable from the previous quarter and up 19% from a year ago. As of December 31, 2025, 91% of the Investment Portfolio consists of investment-grade credit securities eligible for the FED discount window, and $69 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.

image1a.jpg

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 December 31, 2025, total net funding amounted to $10,727 million, representing an increase of 3% compared to $10,372 million a quarter ago, and of 8% compared to $9,978 million a year ago, as the Bank continues to 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, brokers and corporations primarily located in the Region. The principal balance of deposits amounted to $6,604 million at the end of 4Q25 (-3% QoQ and +22% YoY), representing 62% of total funding sources, despite the usual year-end seasonality, supported by effective cross-selling efforts, highlighting the change in the funding structure towards higher reliance in deposits.

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank’s Yankee CD program totaled $1,500 million, or 14% of total funding sources, further diversifying the deposit base and 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 35% of total deposits at the end of 4Q25.

image4a.jpg

Funding through the principal balance of short and medium-term borrowings and debt, net of transaction costs increased 18% QoQ and decreased 8% YoY to $3,993 million at the end of 4Q25. 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 $130 million at the end of 4Q25 (-7% QoQ; -39% YoY).

9


image5a.jpg

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.

image6a.jpg


Weighted average funding costs resulted in 4.69% in 4Q25 (-25bps QoQ; -69bps YoY) and 4.93% in FY25 (-69bps YoY), mainly due to higher reliance on deposits, preserving margin discipline and funding stability, and the 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, 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 $4.0 million profit for 4Q25 (+35% QoQ; +105% YoY) and $15.3 million profit for FY25 (+34% YoY). The quarterly and yearly increases were mainly associated with other income from the sale of financial instruments and the proactive management of excess liquidity in foreign currency positions, together with an efficient cost of funds and active liquidity management, offsetting higher operating expenses.

NII increased 5% QoQ and 6% YoY to $70.8 million in 4Q25. For the year ended December 31, 2025, NII increased 5% to $271.2 million. Solid NII levels continue to be supported by a steady increase in average business volumes, disciplined pricing, a well-matched repricing profile and prudent liquidity levels, together with a strong deposit base allowing for an efficient cost of funds, offset the impact of margin compression from high USD market liquidity and the impact of lower reference rates, which added pressure to interest rate margins. As a result, NIM stood at 2.39% in 4Q25 and at 2.36% for FY25.



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 $18.0 million in 4Q25 (+18% QoQ; +57% YoY) and totaled $68.4 million in FY25 (+54% YoY). The increases were mainly driven by strong fees and commissions generation (+3% QoQ and +22% YoY; +33% YoY) stemming from record level performance of the Bank’s core trade-finance and structuring activities, highlighted by an effective strategic execution and broader active client base. The Bank’s off-balance sheet business (letters of credit and commitments) delivered $31.8 million in FY25 (+20% YoY) supported by strong client engagement and increased transactionality, as the Bank’s trade-finance platform is now fully operational. The Bank’s loan syndication desk business delivered an all-time high performance in 2025 resulting in $17.7 million in FY25 (+73% YoY), as the Bank’s participation in project and infrastructure finance continues to expand. As the Bank continues to broaden its source of non-interest income, client derivatives and secondary-market loan activity have become increasingly an important source of revenue generating $3.7 million in FY25.

As of December 31, 2025, the total allowance for losses stood at $107.6 million, compared to $101.5 million the previous quarter, and $84.9 million a year ago.

The $6.1 million increase in allowance for credit losses in 4Q25 was mainly associated with increased coverage on a single client exposure from the petrochemical sector previously classified at Stage 2, resulting from the Bank’s proactive credit assessment, partially offset by recoveries and credit quality improvement on country upgrades and scheduled repayments. Credits categorized as Stage 1 or low-risk credits under IFRS 9 accounted for 98.2% of total credits, while Stage 2 credits with increased risk since origination represented 1.5% of total credits.

As of December 31, 2025, the principal balance of impaired credits (Stage 3) increased to $38.7 million, or 0.3% of total Credit Portfolio, with ample reserve coverage, compared to $18.7 million in the previous quarter and $17.0 million a year ago. The $20.0 million increase in impaired credits (Stage 3) relates to the deterioration of a single client in the upstream gas sector, previously allocated in Stage 2 and already prudentially provisioned.

Allowances for losses associated with the Credit Portfolio represented a coverage ratio of 0.8% at the end of 4Q25. Total allowance for credit losses to impaired credits resulted in 2.8 times.

Operating expenses totaled $27.4 million in 4Q25 (+28% QoQ; +20% YoY) and $90.6 million in FY25 (+13% YoY). The yearly increases were mostly associated with ongoing investments in technology, modernization and other business initiatives related to the Bank’s strategic priorities, including its associated operating costs and depreciation, and higher personnel to strengthen execution capabilities. The 28% quarterly increase was also attributed to seasonal year-end effects including higher variable compensation expenses aligned with full-year performance.

The Efficiency Ratio totaled 30.9% in 4Q25 and 26.7% in FY25, nearly unchanged YoY as total revenues overcompensated higher operating expenses, demonstrating the Bank’s ability to absorb strategic investments while preserving cost discipline.
