1.Corporate information
Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S. A. (“Bladex Head Office” and together with its subsidiaries “Bladex” or the “Bank”), headquartered in Panama City, Republic of Panama, is a specialized multinational bank established to support the financing of foreign trade and economic integration in Latin America and the Caribbean (the “Region”). The Bank was the result of a proposal brought before the Assembly of Governors of Central Banks in the Region in May of 1975, which recommended the creation of a multinational organization to increase the foreign trade financing capacity of the Region. The Bank was organized in 1977, incorporated in 1978 as a corporation pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Panama, and initiated operations on January 2, 1979. Under a contract law signed in 1978 between the Republic of Panama and Bladex, the Bank was granted certain privileges by the Republic of Panama, including an exemption from payment of income taxes in Panama.
The Bank operates under a general banking license issued by the National Banking Commission of Panama, predecessor of the Superintendence of Banks of Panama (the “SBP”).
In the Republic of Panama, banks are regulated by the SBP through Executive Decree No. 52 of April 30, 2008, which adopts the unique text of Law Decree No. 9 of February 26, 1998, modified by Law Decree No. 2 of February 22, 2008. Banks are also regulated by resolutions and agreements issued by this entity. The main aspects of this law and its regulations include: the authorization of banking licenses, minimum capital and liquidity requirements, consolidated supervision, procedures for management of credit, liquidity and market risks, measures to prevent money laundering, the financing of terrorism and related illicit activities, and procedures for banking intervention and liquidation, among others.
Bladex Head Office’s subsidiaries are the following:
- Bladex Holdings Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary, incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America (USA), on May 30, 2000. Bladex Holdings Inc. has ownership in Bladex Representaçao Ltda.
- Bladex Representaçao Ltda, incorporated under the laws of Brazil on January 7, 2000, acts as the Bank’s representative office in Brazil. Bladex Representaçao Ltda. is 99.999% owned by Bladex Head Office and the remaining 0.001% is owned by Bladex Holdings Inc.
- Bladex Development Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Panama on June 5, 2014. Bladex Development Corp. is 100.00% owned by Bladex Head Office.
Bladex Head Office has an agency in New York City, USA (the “New York Agency”), which began operations on March 27, 1989. The New York Agency is principally engaged in financing transactions related to international trade, mostly the confirmation and financing of letters of credit for customers in the Region. The New York Agency also has authorization to book transactions through an International Banking Facility (“IBF”).
The Bank has representative offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina; in Mexico City, Mexico; and in Bogota, Colombia, and has a representative license in Lima, Peru.
2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Bank’s accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accouting Standards") and should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Bank’s board of directors on February 10, 2026.

2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Bank’s accounting policies (continued)
2.2 New accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet effective
Certain new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards are effective for the years 2026 and 2027 and earlier application is permitted. The Bank has not early adopted any of these new accounting standards or amendments in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
January 1, 2026: Classification and measurement of financial instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: The specific amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures include new requirements not only for financial institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments:
a.clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
b.clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments-of-principal-and-interest (SPPI) criterion;
c.add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that may change cash flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of environmental, social and governance objectives); and
d.update disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The Bank is currently assessing the impact of the new amendments and, based on the evaluation performed to date, has not identified any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
January 1, 2027: Presentation and disclosure in financial statements - IFRS 18: This new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, which replaces IAS 1, focuses on updates to the statements of profit or loss.
Key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
a.the structure of the statement of profit or loss with defined subtotals;
b.requirement to determine the most useful summary structure for presenting expenses in the statement of profit or loss disclosures
c.required disclosures in a single note within the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements (i.e., performance measures defined by management, "MPMs"); and
d.enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation that apply to the primary financial statements and notes generally.
The Bank is still in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard, particularly with respect to the structure of the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the statement of cash flows and the additional disclosures required for MPMs. The Bank is also assessing the impact on how information is grouped in the consolidated financial statements, including for items currently labelled as “other”.
January 1, 2027: Subsidiaries without Public Accountability - IFRS 19: This new standard allows for certain eligible subsidiaries that report under IFRS accounting standards apply reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19. These reduced disclosure requirement are expected to balance the information needs of users of eligible subsidiaries' financial statements with cost savings for preparers. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard for eligible subsidiaries. A subsidiary is eligible if:
a.it has no public accountability, and
b.it has an ultimate or intermediate parent company that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.
The Bank does not anticipate that IFRS 19 will be applied for purposes of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

B.Liquidity risk (continued)
The amounts in the tables above have been compiled as follows:
| Type of financial instrument | Basis on which amounts are compiled | |||||||
| Financial assets and liabilities | Undiscounted cash flows, which include estimated interest payments. | |||||||
| Issued financial guarantee contracts, and loan commitments | Earliest possible contractual maturity. For issued financial guarantee contracts, the maximum amount of the guarantee is allocated to the earliest period in which the guarantee could be called. | |||||||
Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities | Contractual undiscounted cash flows. The amounts shown are the gross nominal inflows and outflows for derivatives that simultaneously settle gross or net amounts. | |||||||
Future undiscounted cash flow presented in the table above on some financial assets and financial liabilities vary materially from contractual cash flows. The principal difference is that the undiscounted future cash flows of floating rate assets and liabilities are calculated using projected market rates.

3.Financial risk review (continued)
C.Market risk (continued)
Interest rate risk management is complemented by monitoring the sensitivity of the Bank´s financial assets and liabilities, considering several standard interest rate scenarios. The standard scenarios considered monthly include a parallel decline or increase of 50bps, 100bps, and 200 bps across all yield curves, which are evaluated based on market behavior.
The Bank performs a sensitivity analysis of the most likely increase or decrease in market interest rates at the reporting date, assuming non-asymmetric movements in the yield curves and a constant financial situation to assess the effect on profit or loss.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis affect reported equity in the following ways:
- Retained earnings: increases or decreases in net interest income and in fair values of derivatives reported in profit or loss;
- Fair value reserve: increases or decreases in fair values of financial assets at FVOCI reported directly in equity; and
- Hedging reserve: increases or decreases in fair values of hedging instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships.
This sensitivity provides an analysis of changes in interest rates, considering the previous year´s interest rate volatility.
Additionally, the Bank measures the sensitivity of the equity value (EVE) following the methodology described by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which measures the interest rate risk embedded in the equity value, which for interest rate risk purposes is defined as the difference between the net present value of assets less the net present value of liabilities due, based on the impact of a change in interest rates on such present values.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis performed for the Bank:
| Change in interest rate | Effect on profit or loss | Effect on equity | Effect on equity value (EVE) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| December 31, 2025 | +50 bps | 1,592 | 5,215 | (9,823) | |||||||||||||||||||

17. Other equity instruments
During the period, the Bank issued perpetual non-cumulative subordinated instruments, which qualify as Additional Tier 1 capital instruments (“AT1”), as described below.

| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||
Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed to Fixed Subordinates Notes to 7.5% annual, net of issuance costs of $2 million | 197,976 | — | |||||||||
The principal terms and conditions of the AT1 instruments (the “Notes”) are described below:
a.The Notes constitute unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Bank, ranking junior to all senior debt and other preferred liabilities of the Bank, including any other existing or future subordinated debt. In a liquidation or resolution scenario, holders of the Notes will absorb losses prior to senior creditors and depositors.
b.The Notes are perpetual instruments, with no contractual maturity date and no contractual obligation to repay principal, except in the regulatory circumstances expressly provided for in the issuance documentation and solely at the option of the Bank. Holders of the Notes have no automatic right to demand early repayment of principal.
c.The Bank may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, subject to the satisfaction of the minimum contractual periods and prior regulatory approval.
d.The Notes bear a fixed interest rate until the first reset date, scheduled for September 18, 2032. Thereafter, the interest rate will be reset every five years, based on a United States Treasury reference rate plus a fixed contractual margin. Interest payments, if declared, will be made semi-annually on March 18 and September 18 of each year, at the sole discretion of the Bank.
e.Interest on the Notes is non-cumulative and may be paid, in whole or in part, at the discretion of the Bank or subject to regulatory restrictions. Any interest not paid shall not accumulate nor give rise to any future payment entitlement. The non-payment of interest does not constitute a breach or an event of default.
f.Upon the occurrence of certain regulatory or resolution events, the Notes are subject to loss-absorption mechanisms, which may result in the reduction or write-off of principal and/or interest, in accordance with the contractual terms and applicable prudential regulations.
On August 29, 2025, the Superintendence of Banks of Panama authorized the issuance of the Notes as Additional Tier 1 capital, in accordance with the provisions of Banking Rule No. 1-2015.

23. Applicable laws and regulations
Liquidity index
Rule No. 2-2018 issued by the Superintendence of Banks of Panama (SBP) establishes that every general license or international license bank must guarantee, with a higher level of confidence, that it is in the position to face its intraday liquidity obligations in a period when liquidity pressure may affect the lending market. For that purpose, the SBP has established a short-term liquidity coverage ratio known as “Liquidity Coverage Ratio or LCR”. This ratio is measured through the quotient of two amounts, the first one corresponds to the high-quality liquid assets and the second one corresponds to the net cash outflows in 30 days.
As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the minimum LCR to be reported to the SBP was 100%. The Bank´s LCR as of December 31, 2025 was 159.3% (2024: 264.6%).
Rule No. 4-2008 issued by the SBP, establishes that every general license or international license bank must always maintain, a minimum balance of liquid assets equivalent to 30% of the gross total of its deposits in the Republic of Panama or overseas up to 186 days, counted from the reporting date. The formula is based on the following parameters:
Liquid assets | x 100 = X% (Liquidity index) | ||||
| Liabilities (Deposits received) | |||||
The liquidity index reported by the Bank to the regulator as of December 31, 2025 was 60.7% (2024: 47.2%).
Capital adequacy
The Banking Law in the Republic of Panama and Rules No. 01-2015, 03-2016 and 05-2023 require that the general license banks maintain a total capital adequacy index. The Bank's capital, in accordance with current banking regulations, is separated into Ordinary Primary Capital: which consists of paid-in capital in shares, excess paid-in capital, declared reserves, retained earnings, minority interest shares and other accumulated comprehensive income items, less regulatory adjustments; and Additional Primary Capital: which consists of instruments issued by the Bank or consolidated subsidiaries that meet the requirements for inclusion, issue premiums, less regulatory adjustments applicable to additional primary capital.
As of December 31, 2025, the capital adequacy index may not be less, at any time, than 9.25% (including the capital conservation buffer of 1.25% required for 2025, according to Agreement No. 05-2023) of total assets and off-balance sheet irrevocable contingency transactions, weighted according to their risks; and ordinary primary capital plus conservation buffer that shall not be less than 5.75% of its assets and off-balance sheet transactions that represent an irrevocable contingency, weighted based on their risks; and a total primary capital plus conservation buffer that shall not be less than 7.5% of its assets and off-balance sheet transactions that represent an irrevocable contingency, weighted based on their risks.
Capital Conservation Calculation
As of July 2024, Agreement No. 05-2023, issued by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama, came into force, which establishes rules on the creation of a capital conservation buffer, whose objectives are:
(i) ensure that banks accumulate reserves that can be used in case of incurring losses,
(ii) that banks do not fail to comply with the established minimum requirements, without considering the conservation buffer, in episodes of deterioration in solvency.
As established in the Agreement, banking entities must establish a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, (established in a phased manner starting with 0.50% as of July 1, 2024, 0.75% for July 1, 2025 and 1.25% for July 1, 2026) of risk-weighted assets (credit, market and operating), made up of capital ordinary primary and in addition to all the minimum regulatory capital requirements that are established, for which the total minimum regulatory capital will be 8.5% for 2024, 9.25% for 2025 and 10.5% for 2026, (before the modification of the Rule 8%).
The primary objectives of the Bank’s capital management policy are to ensure that the Bank complies with capital requirements imposed by local regulators and maintains strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios to support its business and to maximize shareholder value.

23.Applicable laws and regulations (continued)
The Bank manages its capital structure and adjusts it according to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Bank may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue capital securities.
No changes have been made to the objectives, policies and processes from previous periods. However, they are under constant review by the Board.
The information corresponding to the total capital adequacy index is as follows:

| Capital adequacy index | 15.5% | 13.6% | |||||||||
Leverage ratio
Article No. 17 of the Rule No. 1-2015 establishes the leverage ratio of a regulated entity by means of the quotient between the ordinary primary capital and the total exposure for non-risk-weighted assets inside and outside the consolidated statement of financial position as established by the SBP. For the determination of the exposure of off-balance-sheet transactions, the criteria established for credit and counterparty credit risk positions will be used. The exposure of the derivatives will be the fair value at which they are recorded in the Bank’s assets.
The leverage ratio cannot be lower, at any time, than 3%. The Bank will inform to SBP as often as the compliance with the leverage ratio is determined.
The table below presents the Bank´s leverage ratio in compliance with Article No.17 of Rule No. 1-2015:

Credit risk coverage - dynamic provision
The SBP by means of Rule No. 4-2013, establishes the compulsory constitution of a dynamic provision in addition to the specific credit provision as part of the total provisions for the credit risk coverage.

Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S. A. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
| (Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated) | ||
23. Applicable laws and regulations (continued)
The dynamic provision is an equity item associated to the regulatory capital but does not replace or offset the capital adequacy requirements established by the SBP. This allocation is restricted for dividend distribution purposes.
Methodology for the constitution of the regulatory credit reserve
The SBP by means of the General Resolution of Board of Directors SBP-GJD-0003-2013 of July 9, 2013, establishes the accounting methodology for differences that arise between the application of IFRS and the application of prudential regulations issued by the SBP; as well as the additional disclosures required to be included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The parameters established in this methodology are the following:
–The calculations of accounting balances in accordance with IFRS and the prudential standards issued by the SBP will be carried out and the respective figures will be compared.
–When the calculation made in accordance with IFRS results in a higher reserve or provision for the bank compared to the one resulting from the use of the prudential standards issued by the SBP, the Bank will account the IFRS figures.
–When the impact of the use of prudential standards results in a higher reserve or provision for the Bank, the effect of the application of IFRS will be recognized in profit or loss, and the difference between IFRS calculation compared to the prudential standards calculation will be appropriated from retained earnings as a regulatory credit reserve. If the Bank does not have sufficient retained earnings, the difference will be presented as an accumulated deficit account.
–The regulatory credit reserve mentioned in paragraph 3 of this Rule may not be reversed against retained earnings as long as there are differences between IFRS and the prudential standards.
Considering that the Bank presents its consolidated financial statements under IFRS, specifically for its expected credit reserves under IFRS 9, the line "Regulatory credit reserve" established by the SBP has been used to present the difference between the application of the accounting standard used and the prudential regulations of the SBP to comply with the requirements of Rule No. 4-2013.
Capital reserve
In addition to capital reserves required by regulations, the Bank maintains a capital reserve of $95.2 million, which was voluntarily established. Pursuant to Article No. 69 of the Banking Law, reduction of capital reserves requires prior approval of SBP.
Regulatory reserve for individual credits
Rule No. 11-2019, amended by Rule No. 4-2013, indicates that all loans classified as unrecoverable must be written off within a period of no more than one year. For corporate loans with real estate collateral, the bank will write off all loans classified as unrecoverable within a period of no more than two years, from the date on which it was classified in that category. After two years, if the Bank has not made the write-off, it must create a reserve in the equity account, through the appropriation of retained earnings, which will be charged to the value of the loan net of the provisions already established, according to the percentages established in the following table:
Percentage applicable | |||||
Period | |||||
At the beginning of the third year | 50% | ||||
At the beginning of the fourth year | 50% | ||||
In accordance with the provisions of Rule No. 11-2019 and 4-2013, the bank recognized regulatory provisions for individual loans for $4,555 million as of December 31, 2025 (2024: $4,549 million).

23.Applicable laws and regulations (continued)
Specific provisions
SBP Rule No. 4-2013, modified by Rule No. 8-2014, states that the specific credit provisions are originated from the objective and concrete evidence of impairment. These provisions must be established for credit facilities classified according to the risk categories denominated as: special mention, substandard, doubtful, or unrecoverable, both for individual credit facilities as for a group of such facilities. In the case of a group, it corresponds to circumstances that indicate the existence of deterioration in credit quality, although individual identification is still not possible.
Banks must calculate and maintain at all times the amount of the specific credit provisions determined by the methodology specified in this Rule, which takes into account the balance owed of each credit facility classified in any of the categories subject to provision, mentioned in the paragraph above; the present value of each guarantee available in order to mitigate risk, as established by type of collateral; and a weighting table that applies to the net exposure balance subject to loss of such credit facilities.
Article No. 34 of this Rule establishes that all credits must be classified in the following five (5) categories, according to their default risk and loan conditions, and establishes a minimum reserve for each classification: normal 0%, special mention 20%, substandard 50%, doubtful 80%, and unrecoverable 100%.
If there is an excess in the specific credit provision, calculated in accordance with this Rule, compared to the provision calculated in accordance with IFRS, this excess will be accounted for as a regulatory credit reserve in equity and will increase or decrease with appropriations from/to retained earnings. The balance of the regulatory credit reserve will not be considered as capital funds for calculating certain ratios or prudential indicators mentioned in the Rule.
Based on the classification of risks, collateral and in compliance with SBP Rule No. 4-2013, the Bank classified the loan portfolio as follows:
