NOTE 1. REPORTING ENTITY

Bancolombia S.A., hereinafter the Parent Company, is a credit establishment, listed on the Colombia Stock Exchange (BVC) as well as on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), since 1981 and 1995, respectively. The Parent Company's main location is in Medellin (Colombia), main address Carrera 48 # 26-85, Avenida Los Industriales, and was originally constituted under the name Banco Industrial Colombiano (BIC) according to public deed number 388, date January 24, 1945, from the First Notary's Office of Medellin, authorized by the Superintendence of Finance of Colombia (“SFC”). On April 3, 1998, by means of public deed No. 633, BIC merged with Bank of Colombia S.A., and the resulting organization of that merger was named Bancolombia S.A.
The operating license was authorized definitively by the SFC according to Resolution number 3140 on September 24, 1993. The duration of the company was extended until December 8, 2144. The company may be dissolved or extended before said term.
The Parent Company´s bylaws are formalized in the public deed number 2040, dated July 26, 2024, at the 20th Notary´s Office of Medellín.
Bancolombia S.A.’s business purpose is to carry out all operations, transactions, acts and services inherent to the banking business.

As of September, 30, 2024, activities for this process are in progress.

NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Basis for preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the cumulative nine months ended on September 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter, IASB). They do not include all the information and disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2023 which complied with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter, IFRS) issued by the IASB, as well as the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (hereinafter, IFRS-IC). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 have not been audited.

Preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under going concern basis



Table of Contents
Management has assessed the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and confirms that the Group Bancolombia has adequate liquidity and solvency to continue operating the business for the foreseeable future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Based on the Group's liquidity position at the date of authorization of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, Management maintains a reasonable expectation that it has adequate liquidity and solvency to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months and that the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the reported carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and expenses that might otherwise be required if the going concern basis were not correct.

In the Management opinion, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all material adjustments considered necessary in the circumstances and based on the best information available as of September 30, 2024 and the date of their promulgation and issuance, for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the cumulative nine months ended on September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Group Bancolombia believes that the disclosures are sufficient to make the information presented not misleading or biased. For this reason, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements include selected explanatory notes to explain events and transactions that are important to the financial statements users or represent significant materiality in understanding the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual audited financial statements.

Assets and liabilities are measured at cost or amortized cost, except for some financial assets and liabilities and investment properties that are measured at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value comprise those classified as assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, debt instruments and equity securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and derivative instruments. Likewise, the carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized as a fair value hedge are adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. Almost, investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using the equity method.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are stated in Colombian pesos (“COP”) and figures are stated in millions or billions (when indicated), except earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, dividends per share and the exchange rate, which are stated in units of Colombian pesos, while other currencies (dollars, euro, pounds, etc.) are stated in thousands.

The Parent Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with “Normas de Contabilidad e Información Financiera” (“NCIF”) applicable to separate financial statements, are those that serve as the basis for the regulatory compliance, distribution of dividends and other appropriations by the shareholders.

The separate financial statements are those presented by the Parent Company in which the entity recognizes and measures the impairment of credit risk through allowances for loans losses, the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments (such as debt securities and equity instruments) and the recognition of provisions for foreclosed assets, in accordance with the accounting required by the “Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia” (“SFC”), which differ in certain accounting principles from IFRS that are used in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

B. Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires that the Group's Management makes judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

For the period ended on September 30, 2024 there were no changes in the significant estimates and judgments made by Management in applying the Group's accounting, as compared to those applied in the consolidated financial statements at the year ended on December 31, 2023.

C. Material accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements
    
The same accounting policies and methods of calculation applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2023 continue to be applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards, improvements and interpretations effective from January 1, 2024, as shown below:

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 to clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically:

-The amendments specify that the conditions which exist at the end of the reporting period of an obligation are those which will be used to determine if a right to defer settlement of a liability exists.
-Management expectations about events after the balance sheet date, for example on whether a covenant will be breached, or whether early settlement will take place, are not relevant.
-The amendments clarify the situations that are considered settlement of a liability.    



Table of Contents
Additionally, on October 30, 2022, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 to improve the disclosures an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months is subject to compliance with covenants, and how this impacts the classification of that liability as current or non-current.

The amendments to IAS 1 are required to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, which is consistent with the application period in Colombia, in accordance with Decreto 938 of August 2021, which includes the update of January 23, 2020. The amendments must be applied retrospectively, in accordance with IAS 8. Early application is permitted.

Management concluded that this amendment has no impact on the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, because the Group Bancolombia presents the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position ordered by liquidity, according to the business nature.

a)Recently accounting pronouncements issued by IASB pending to incorporate in NCIF framework accepted in Colombia

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases - Lease liability in a sale and leaseback: In September 2022, the Board amended IFRS 16 to add subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions that meet the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted as a sale. The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a subsequent lease such that it does not recognize any amount of gain or loss that relates to the right-of-use that it retains.

This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and early application is permitted.

This amendment has been assessed by Management with no evidence of an impact on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements and disclosures, due the new requirements are in line with what the Group Bancolombia has applied and disclosed.

Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 7 Financial instruments: disclosures - Classification and measurement of financial instruments: In May 2024, the Board issued amendments to the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9. These amendments respond to feedback from post-implementation review of the accounting standard and clarify the requirements in areas where stakeholders have raised concerns, or where new issues have emerged since IFRS 9 was issued.

These amendments include:    
-Clarifying the classification of financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and similar features: ESG-linked features in loans could affect whether the loans are measured at amortised cost or fair value. To resolve any potential diversity in practice, the amendments clarify how the contractual cash flows on such loans should be assessed.
-Settlement of liabilities through electronic payment systems: The amendments clarify the date on which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognised. The IASB also decided to develop an accounting policy option to allow a company to derecognise a financial liability before it delivers cash on the settlement date if specified criteria are met.

With these amendments, the IASB has also introduced additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency for investors regarding investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features, for example features tied to ESG-linked targets.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and early application is permitted.

Management is assessing the impact that these amendments will have on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements and disclosures.

New standard NIIF 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: In April 2024, the Board issued IFRS 18 to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements to improve the way companies report their financial performance and give investors a better basis for analyzing and comparing companies:

-Improved comparability in the statement of income: IFRS 18 introduces three defined categories for income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) to improve the structure of the statement of income, and requires all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit.
-Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures: The new standard requires companies to disclose explanations of those company-specific measures that are related to the statement of income, referred to as management-defined performance measures.
-More useful grouping of information in the financial statements: IFRS 18 sets out enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes. In addition, the new standard requires companies to provide more transparency about operating expenses, helping investors to find and understand the information they need.

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and early application is permitted.

Management is assessing the impact that these amendments will have on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements and disclosures.

Annual improvements to IFRS: On July 18, 2024, the Board issued narrow amendments to IFRS and accompanying guidance as part of its regular maintenance of the Standards. These amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes aimed at improving the consistency of several IFRS, including IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards; IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:


Table of Contents
Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7; IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with earlier application permitted.

These amendments have been reviewed by Management and have no impact on the Group's condense consolidated interim financial statements and disclosures, due to the annual improvements are limited to changes that either clarify the wording in an IFRS or correct relatively minor unintended consequences or oversights in the Accounting Standards.

(1 )According to External Resolution No. 3 of 2024 of Banco de la República de Colombia, which amends External Resolution No. 5 of 2008, issued by the Colombian Central Bank, Bancolombia S.A. must maintain, the equivalent of 7% from September 2024, ( in December 2023 it must maintain, the equivalent of 8%) of the deposits mentioned in Article 1, paragraph (a), and the equivalent of 2.5% from September 2024 (3.5% in December 2023) of its customer’s deposits with a maturity of less than 18 months (paragraph b), as ordinary reserve, represented in deposits at the Central Bank or as cash in hand. In addition, according to Resolution Number 177 of 2002 issued by the Guatemala Monetary Board, Grupo Agromercantil Holding through its subsidiary Banco Agromercantil de Guatemala must maintain the equivalent of 14.60% of its customer’s deposits daily balances as a legal banking reserve, represented in unrestricted deposits at the Bank of Guatemala. Additionally, circular SBP-DR-CIRCULAR-2024-0036 dated July 02, 2024, communicates the decision of the Superintendency of Banks of Panama to maintain the percentage established in the General Resolution of the Board of Directors SBP-GJD-0003-2014 dated January 28, 2014, which sets at 30.00% the minimum legal liquidity rate that Panamanian banks must maintain. Finally, in accordance with temporary rule NPBT-13, which is effective from September 25, 2024, to March 25, 2025, Banco Agrícola must maintain an equivalent average daily amount of its deposits and debt instruments in issue as a liquidity reserve between 1.00% and 16.00% represented in unrestricted deposits or debt instruments in issue by El Salvador Central Bank. Once the complete term established, the bank continues with the Technical Norm (NRP-28), issued by the Central Bank, where the Bank must maintain an equivalent amount between 1.00% and 18.00%, which has been in effect since 23 June 2021.
(2 )The variation corresponds mainly the effect of the usual transactionality of the operation of Bancolombia and the cancellation of interest-bearing deposits of COP 3.5 billion opened in December 2023 and cancelled in January 2024.
(3)The variation is mainly generated by the decrease in Reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured loans in simultaneous operations with the Cámara de Riesgo Central de Contraparte

Measurement of effectiveness and ineffectiveness

A hedge is considered effective if, at the beginning of the period and subsequent periods, changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedge risk during the period for which the hedge has been designated.

The Bank has documented the effectiveness tests of the hedge. The hedge is considered effective, since the critical terms and risks of the obligations that serve as a hedging instrument are identical to those of the primary hedged position. Hedged effectiveness is measured on a before income tax.

Gains or losses on the conversion of Banistmo’s financial statements are recognized in Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income. Consequently, the exchange difference related to the conversion of debt securities issued and financing with Correspondent banks is recognized directly in OCI, as a result of the variation of the peso against the dollar, the adjustment recognized in Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income amounted to COP (485,195), COP 1,579,943, for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(2)The charges-off still subject to enforcement activity.
(3)The loss allowance for the first nine months of 2024 decreased by 21% compared to the same period of the previous year. This reduction is primarily due to a decrease in the expenditure for the provision of credit losses on the consumer portfolio. This is a result of the lending and collection actions that the Bank initiated in 2023, which have had positive effects in 2024. Additionally, the reduction in the provision for credit losses due to macroeconomic variables, generated by the decrease in the interest rate in Colombia, is noteworthy.
(4)Recognized as a reduction to Interest Income on loans and financial leases in Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, in accordance with IFRS 9.
(5)The variation is due to the decrease in the market representative rate from COP 3,822.05 in December 2023 to COP 4,178.30 in September 2024.

Impact of movements in the value of the portfolio and loss allowance by Stage

Variation September 2024 vs December 2023

Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 1 increased by COP 12,211,583 and the loss allowance decreased by COP 1,200,060. The increase in the portfolio in this Stage is mainly due to a better dynamic of disbursements to the corporate portfolio and the restatement of the dollar loans into Colombian Pesos due to a higher exchange rate. The decrease in the loss allowance is due to a higher portfolio participation in lower-risk categories and the macroeconomic impact on the PD (probability of default) models, which have a more favorable economic outlook, where a downward trend in interest rates in Colombia is observed, which positively affects the portfolios of individuals.

Stage 2 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 2 increased by COP 1,524,813 and the loss allowance increased by COP 334,375. The increase in exposure is mainly due to clients undergoing restructuring, clients exiting default (Stage 3) and remaining in Stage 2 for a one-year observation period, and clients showing an increase in the current Lifetime PD compared to the origination Lifetime PD. The increase in the provision is consistent with the arrival of these clients.

Stage 3 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 3 increased by COP 1,880,461 and the loss allowance increased by COP 1,160,849. This variation in exposure and provisions is primarily due to the deterioration of clients in the legal entity portfolio, which includes both corporate clients and SMEs. Significant defaults were particularly observed in the infrastructure, construction, trade, manufacturing, and financial sectors.

Variation December 2023 vs December 2022

Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses)


Table of Contents
Stage 1 exposure decreased by COP 14,397,167 and the loss allowance increased by COP 820,111. The decrease in the portfolio at this stage is mainly due to the restatement of the dollar loans into colombian pesos due to a lower in the market representative rate and a slow disbursement dynamic of the consumer portfolio compared to the previous period. The increase in the loss allowance is due to the impact of a less favorable economic outlook, where there is lower economic growth and a high trend of interest rates throughout the year.

Stage 2 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 2 decreased by COP 2,613,778 and the loss allowance decreased by COP 608,427. The decrease in exposure is due to the migration of loans with delinquency over 90 days to Stage 3, and the level of new overdue portfolio being lower than the previous period. The decrease of loss allowance is in accordance with the decrease in exposure.

Stage 3 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 3 increased by COP 1,038,853, and the loss allowance increased by COP 531,779. The variation in exposure and loss allowance in this Stage is mainly due to clients of the consumer portfolio reaching a delinquency height over 90 days and the impairment of significant clients from the construction sector.

The following explains the significant changes in the loans and the allowance for loan losses by category during the periods ended on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 as a result of applying the expected credit loss model according to IFRS 9:

1.4Deferred tax

In accordance with its financial projections, the companies from the Group Bancolombia's expects in the future to generate enough liquid income to offset the items recorded as deductible deferred tax. These estimates start from the financial projections that were prepared considering information from the Group Bancolombia's economic research records, the expected economic environment for the next five years. The main indicators on which the models are based are GDP growth, loans growth and interest rates. In addition to these elements, the long-term Group's strategy is taken into account.

The deferred tax asset and liability for each of the concepts that generated taxable or deductible temporary differences for the period ending September 30, 2024 are detailed below:

1.7Dividends

1.7.1Dividend Payment

If the parent company or any of its subsidiaries were to distribute dividends, they would be subject to the tax regulations of each of the countries in which they are decreed and distributed. In the case of Colombian companies, dividends will be subject to the application of Articles 48 and 49 of the Tax Statute and consequently will be subject to withholding at source at the established rates, in accordance with the tax characteristics of each shareholder.

1.7.2Dividends received from Subsidiary Companies

Considering the historical tax status of the dividends received by the Bank from its affiliates and national subsidiaries, it is expected that in the future dividends will be received on the basis of non-income tax. They will not be subject to withholding tax, considering that the Bank, its affiliates, and national subsidiaries belong to the same business group.

1.8 Tax contingent liabilities and assets

In the determination of the effective current and deferred taxes subject to review by the tax authority, the relevant regulations have been applied in accordance with the interpretations made by the Group Bancolombia.
In Colombia due to the complexity of the tax system, ongoing amendments to the tax regulations, accounting changes with implications on tax bases and in general the legal instability of the country, the tax authority may at any time have different criteria than that of the Group Bancolombia. Consequently, a dispute or inspection by the tax authority on a tax treatment may affect the Group Bancolombia accounting of assets or liabilities for deferred or current taxes, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12. However, based on the criteria established in the interpretation of IFRIC 23, the Group Bancolombia did not recognize uncertain tax positions in its financial statements.

Neos Group S.A.S. (in reorganization) and Inversiones Davanic S.A.S.

On November 3, 2022, Bancolombia was informed of a lawsuit in which the plaintiff contends that a loan agreement is in place between the parties, rather than a lease. The plaintiff also requested that the purchase and sale agreement be rescinded on the basis that the price of the property was lower than its fair price.

The plaintiff seeks COP 65,000. The likelihood of recovering this amount is considered to be remote because the parties always intended to celebrate a lease and not a different type of contract. On December 7, 2022, Bancolombia issued an answer to the lawsuit. As of September 30, 2024, the scheduling of the initial hearing date is pending. Bancolombia has not recorded a provision for this matter.

According to the Bank's defense arguments, the agreement was made in accordance with the law.
As of September 30, 2024, the procedure is pending a first instance judgment. The contingency is deemed to be possible. Bancolombia has not recorded a provision for this matter.

18.3.       Commissions income, net

The Bank has elected to present the income from contracts with customers as an element in a line named “Commissions income, net” in the Condensed Intermediate Statement of Consolidated Results separated from the other income sources.

The information contained in this section about the fees and commission’s income presents information on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the income from ordinary activities which arise from a contract with a customer under the regulatory framework of IFRS 15 Revenue from Ordinary Activities from Contracts with Customers.

In the following table, the description of the main activities through which the Bank generates revenue from contracts with customers is presented:

 Commissions income, netDescription
Banking servicesBanking Services are related to commissions from the use of digital physical channels or once the customer makes a transaction. The performance obligation is fulfilled once the payment is delivered to its beneficiary and the proof of receipt of the payment is sent, in that moment, the collection of the commission charged to the customer is generated, which is a fixed amount. The commitment is satisfied during the entire validity of the contract with the customer. The Bank acts as principal.
Credit and debit card fees
In debit card product contracts, it is identified that the price assigned to the services promised by the Bank to the customers is fixed. Given that no financing component exists, it is established on the basis of the national and international interbank rate. Additionally, the product charges to the customers commissions for handling fees, at a determined time and with a fixed rate.
For Credit Cards, the commissions are the handling fees and depend on the card franchise. The commitment is satisfied in so far that the customer has capacity available on the card.
Other revenue received by the (issuer) credit card product, is advance commission; this revenue is the charge generated each time the customer makes a national or international advance, at owned or non-owned ATMs, or through a physical branch. The exchange bank fee is a revenue for the Issuing Bank of the credit card for the services provided to the business for the transaction effected at the point of sale. The commission is accrued and collected immediately at the establishment and has a fixed amount.
In the credit cards product there is a customer loyalty program, in which points are awarded for each transaction made by the customer in a retail establishment. The program is administrated by a third party who assumes the inventory and claims risks, for which it acts as agent. The Bank, recognized it as a lower value of the revenue from the exchange bank fee.
The rights and obligations of each party in respect of the goods and services for transfer are clearly identified, the payment terms are explicit, and it is probable, that is, it takes into consideration the capacity of the customer and the intention of having to pay the consideration at termination to those entitled to change the transferred goods or services. The revenue is recognized at a point in time: the Bank satisfies the performance obligation when the “control” of the goods or services was transferred to the customers.
DepositsDeposits are related to the services generated from the offices network of the Bank once a customer makes a transaction. The Bank generally commits to maintain active channels for the products that the customer has with the Bank, with the purpose of making payments and transfers, sending statements and making transactions in general. The commissions are deducted from the deposit account, and they are incurred at a point in time. The Bank acts as principal.
Electronic services and ATMsRevenue received from electronic services and ATMs arises through the provision of services so that the customers may make required transactions, and which are enabled by the Bank. These include online and real-time payments by the customers of the Bank holding a checking or savings accounts, with a debit or credit card for the products and services that the customer offers. Each transaction has a single price, for a single service. The provision of collection services or other different services provided by the Bank, through electronic equipment, generates consideration chargeable to the customer established contractually by the Bank as a fee. The Bank acts as principal and the revenue is recognized at a point in time.
BrokerageBrokerage is a group of services for the negotiation and administration of operations for purchasing fixed revenue securities, equities and operations with derivatives in its own name, but on the account of others. The performance obligations are fulfilled at a point in time when the commission agent in making its best effort can execute the business entrusted by the customer in the best conditions. The performance obligations are considered satisfied once the service stipulated in the contract is fulfilled, as consideration fixed, or variable payments are agreed, depending on the service. The Bank acts generally as principal and in some special cases as agent.
Remittance
Revenue for remittance is received as consideration for the commitment established by the Bank to pay remittances sent by the remitting companies to the beneficiaries of the same. The commitment is satisfied at a point in time to the extent that the remittance is paid to the beneficiary.
The price is fixed, but may vary in accordance to the transferred amount, due to the operation being dependent on the volume of operations generated and the transaction type. There is no component of financing, nor the right to receive consideration dependent on the occurrence or not of a future event.


Table of Contents
Acceptances, Guarantees and Standby Letters of CreditBanking Service from acceptances, guarantees and standby letters of credit which are not part of the portfolio of the Bank. There exist different performance obligations; the satisfaction of performance obligations occurs when the service is given to the customer. The consideration in these types of contracts may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both, and the Bank acts as principal. The revenue is recognized at a point in time.
TrustRevenue related to Trust are received from the administration of the customer resources in the business of investment trusts, property trusts, management trusts, guarantee trusts, for the resources of the general social security system, Collective portfolios and Private Equity Funds (PEF). The commitments are established in contracts independently and in an explicit manner, and the services provided by the Bank are not inter-related between the contracts. The performance obligation corresponds to performing the best management in terms of the services to be provided in relation to trust characteristics, thus fixed and variable prices are established depending on the complexity of the business, similarly, revenues are recognized throughout or at a determined time. In all the established businesses it acts as principal.
Placement of Securities
Valores Bancolombia makes available its commercial strength for the deposit, reinvestment of resources through financial instruments to the issuing company. It receives a payment for deposits made. The commitment of the contract is satisfied to the extent that the resources requested by the issuer are obtained through the distribution desks of Valores Bancolombia. The collection is made monthly. It is established that Valores Bancolombia may undertake collection of these commissions at the end of the month through a collection account charged to the issuer, acting as principal.
Bancassurance
The Bank receives a commission for collecting insurance premiums at a given time and for allowing the use of its network to sell insurance from different insurance companies over time. The Bank in these bancassurance contracts acts as agent (intermediary between the customer and the insurance company), since it is the insurance company which assumes the risks, and which handles the complaints and claims of the customers inherent in each insurance. Therefore, the insurance company acts as principal before the customer. The prices agreed in bancassurance are defined as a percentage on the value of the policy premiums. The payment shall be tied to the premiums collected, sold or taken for the case of employees’ insurance. The aforementioned then means that the price is variable, since, the revenue will depend on the quantity of policies or calculations made by the insurance companies.
CollectionsThe Bank acting as principal, commits to collect outstanding invoices receivable by the collecting customers through the different channels offered by the bank, send the information of the collections made and credit the money to the savings or checking account defined by the collecting customer. The commitment is satisfied at a point in time to the extent that the money is collected by the different channels, the information of the said collections is delivered appropriately, and the resources are credited in real-time to the account agreed with the customer. For the service, the Bank receives a fixed payment, which is received for each transaction once the contract is in effect.
Services
These are the maintenance services performed on the fleet owned by the customers, these services are performed on demand, and the value of the service cost is invoiced plus an intermediation margin. The collection is made by the amount of expense invoiced by the provider plus an intermediation percentage, which ranges between 5% and 10% depending on the customer.
The contract is written, is based on a framework contract which is held between the customers which contains the general terms of negotiation and the payment terms are generally 30 days after generating the invoice. The revenue is recognized when the service is provided. There is no financing nor sanctions for early cancellations.
To view the details of the balance, refer to line ‘Logistics services’ in Note 18.4 Other operational Income.
Gains on sale of assets
These are the revenue from the sale of assets, where the sale value is higher than the book value recorded in the accounts, the difference representing the gains. The recognition of the revenue is at a point in time once the sale is realized. The Bank acts as principal in this type of transaction and the transaction price is determined by the market value of the asset being sold.
To view the details of the balance, refer to line ‘Gain on sale of assets’ in Note 18.4 Other operational Income.
Investment Banking
Investment Banking offers to customer’s financial advisory services in the structuring of businesses in accordance with the needs of each one of them. The advisory services consist in realizing a financial structuring of a credit or bond in which the Investment Bank offers the elements so that the company decides the best option for structuring the instrument. In the financial advisory contract, a best efforts clause is included.
The promises given to the customers are established in the contracts independently and explicitly. The services provided by the Investment Bank are not interrelated between the contracts, correspond to the independent advice agreed and do not include additional services in the commission agreed with the customer. The advisory services offered in each one of the contracts are identifiable separately from the other performance commitments that the Investment Bank may have with the customers. The Investment Bank does not have a standard contract for the provision of advisory services, given than each contract is tailored to the customer’s needs.
The transaction price is defined at the start of the contract and is assigned to each service provided independently. The price contains a fixed and a variable portion which is provided in the contracts. The variation depends on the placement amount for the case of a financial structuring contract and coordination of the issuance and conditions of the same. In these operations Banca de Inversion Bancolombia provides advice to the customers and the price shall depend at times on the success and amount of the operation. In the contracts subject to evaluation there are no incremental costs associated with the satisfaction of the commitments of the Bank with the customers provided for.
In the contracts signed with the customers, a penalty clause is established in case of a customer withdrawing from continuing with the provision of the services established in the commercial offer. The penalty shall be recognized in the financial statements once the Investment Bank is notified on the withdrawal under the concept of charges for early termination of the contract.

For the determination of the transaction price, the Bank assigns to each one of the services the amount which represents the value expected to be received as consideration for each independent commitment, which is based on the relative price of independent sale. The price that the Bank determines for each performance obligation is done by defining the cost of each service, related tax and associated risks to the operation and inherent to the transaction plus the margin expected to be received in each one of the services, taking as references the market prices and conditions, as well as the segmentation of the customer.

In the transactions evaluated in the contracts, changes in the price of the transaction are not identified.

Contract assets with customers

The Bank receives payments from customers based on the provision of the service, in accordance to that established in the contracts. When the Bank incurs costs for providing the service prior to the invoicing, and if these are directly related with a contract, they improve the resources of the entity and are expected to recuperate, these costs correspond to a contract asset. Currently, the Group does not have assets related to contracts with customers.

As a practical expedient, the Bank recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.

Contract liabilities with customers

The contract liabilities constitute the obligation of the Bank to transfer the services to a customer, for which the Group has received a payment on the part of the final customer or if the amount is due before the execution of the contract. They also include deferred income related to services that shall be delivered or provided in the future, which will be invoiced to the customer in advance, but which are still not due.

NOTE 20. EARNING PER SHARE (‘EPS’)

Basic EPS is calculated by reducing the income from continuing operations by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period. The remaining income is allocated according to the participation of each class of stock as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. EPS is determined by dividing the total earnings allocated to each security by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the average number of common and preferred shares outstanding to simulate the conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The Bank had no dilutive potential common shares as of September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic EPS for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions of pesos, except per share data):

(1)For further information see Note 5.1. Financial assets investments.
(2)As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the loans was undervalued by COP 333,672 due to the omission of a change in an input related to observable market rates. Upon detecting the inaccuracy, the Management proceeded to recalculate, finding that the difference with the previously disclosed value does not result in material impacts.
(3)It corresponds to investments in associates P.A. Viva Malls and Distrito Vera.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable, that reflects the significance of inputs adopted in the measurement process. In accordance with IFRS, the financial instruments are classified as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability being measured take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 generally includes: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain retained residual interests in securitizations, asset-backed securities (ABS) and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts where independent pricing information was not able to be obtained for a significant portion of the underlying assets.

Valuation process for fair value measurements

The valuation to fair value prices is performed using prices, methodologies and inputs provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia - Proveedor de Precios para Valoración S.A.) to the Bank.

All methodologies and procedures developed by the pricing services provider are supervised by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia, which has not objected to them.

Daily, the back-office Service Valuation Officer (SVO) verifies the valuation of investments, and the Credit and Financial Risk Manager area reports the results of the portfolio’s valuation.

Fair value measurement

Assets and liabilities

a. Debt instruments

The Bank assigns prices to those debt investments, using the prices provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia) and assigns the appropriate level according to the procedure described above. For securities not traded or over-the-counter such as certain bonds issued by other financial institutions, the Bank generally determines fair value utilizing internal valuation and standard techniques. These techniques include determination of expected future cash flows which are discounted using curves of the applicable currencies and the Colombian consumer price index (interest rate in this case), modified by the credit risk and liquidity risk. The interest rate is generally computed using observable market data and reference yield curves derived from quoted interest in appropriate time bandings, which match the timings of the cash flows and maturities of the instruments.

b. Equity securities and other financial instruments

The Bank performs the market price valuation of its investments in variable income using the prices provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia) and classifies those investments according to the procedure described above (Hierarchy of fair value section). Likewise, the fair value of unlisted equity securities and other financial instruments is based on an assessment of each individual investment using methodologies that include publicly-traded comparables derived by multiplying a key performance metric (e.g., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of the portfolio company by the relevant valuation multiple observed for comparable companies, acquisition comparables, and if necessary considered, are subject to appropriate discounts for lack of liquidity or marketability. Interests in investment funds, trusts and collective portfolios are valued using the investment unit value determined by the fund management company. For investment funds where the underlying assets are investment properties, the investment unit value depends on the investment properties value, determined as described below in “i. Investment property”.




Table of Contents


c. Derivative financial instruments

The Bank holds positions in standardized derivatives, such as futures over local stocks, and over the market representative rate. These instruments are evaluated according to the information provided by Precia, which perfectly matches the information provided by the Central Counterparty Clearing House – CCP.

Additionally, the Bank holds positions in Over The Counter (OTC) derivatives, which in the absence of prices, are valued using the inputs and methodologies provided by the pricing services provider, which have the no objection of the SFC.

The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, the spot price of the underlying volatility, credit curves and correlation of such inputs.

d. Credit valuation adjustment

The Bank measures the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of the swap, option and forward derivatives.

Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when the Bank’s position is a derivative asset and the Bank’s credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability. The Bank attempts to mitigate credit risk to third parties which are international banks by entering into master netting agreements. The agreements allow to offset or bring net amounts that are liabilities, derivates from transactions carried out by the different agreements. Master netting agreements take different forms and may allow payments to be made under a variety of other master agreements or other negotiation agreements between the same parties; some may have a monthly basis and others only apply at the time the agreements are terminated.

When assessing the impact of credit exposure, only the net counterparty exposure is considered at risk, due to the offsetting of certain same-counterparty positions and the application of cash and other collateral.

The Bank generally calculates the asset’s credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with international financial institutions by incorporating indicative credit related pricing that is generally observable in the market (Credit Default Swaps, “CDS”). The credit-risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with non-public counterparties is calculated by incorporating unobservable credit data derived from internal credit qualifications to the financial institutions and corporate companies located in each geography. The Bank also considers its own creditworthiness when determining the fair value of an instrument, including OTC derivative instruments if the Bank believes market participants would take that into account when transacting the respective instrument. The approach to measuring the impact of the Bank’s credit risk on an instrument transacted with international financial institutions is done using the asset swap curve calculated for subordinated bonds issued by the Bank in foreign currency. For derivatives transacted with local financial institutions, the Bank calculates the credit risk adjustment by incorporating credit risk data provided by rating agencies and released in the financial markets.

e. Impaired loans measured at fair value

The Bank measured certain impaired loans based on the fair value of the associated collateral less costs to sell. The fair values were determined as follows using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset.

For vehicles under leasing arrangements, the Bank uses an internal valuation model based on price curves for each type of vehicle. Such curves show the expected price of the vehicle at different points in time based on the initial price and projection of economic variables such as inflation, devaluation and customs. The prices modelled in the curves are compared every six months with market information for the same or similar vehicles and in the case of significant deviation; the curve is adjusted to reflect the market conditions.

Other vehicles are measured using matrix pricing from a third party. This matrix is used by most of the market participants and is updated monthly. The matrix is developed from values provided by several price providers for identical or similar vehicles and considers brand, characteristics of the vehicles, and manufacturing date among other variables to determine the prices.

For real estate assets, a third-party qualified appraiser is used. The methodologies vary depending on the date of the last appraisal available for the property (the appraisal is estimated based on either of three approaches: cost, sales comparison and income approach, and is required every three years). When the property has been valued in the last 12 months and the market conditions have not shown significant changes, the most recent valuation is considered the fair value of the property.

For all other cases (for example, appraisals older than 12 months) the value of the property is updated by adjusting the value in the last appraisal for weighted factors such as location, type and characteristics of the property, size, structural conditions and the expected sales prices, among others. The factors are determined based on current market information gathered from several external real estate specialists. For all other cases (for example, appraisals older than 12 months) the value of the property is updated by adjusting the value in the last appraisal for weighted factors such as location, type and characteristics of the property, size, structural conditions and the expected sales prices, among others. The factors are determined based on current market information gathered from several external real estate specialists.

f. Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost of sale

The Bank measures certain impaired foreclosed assets and premises and equipment held for sale based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair values were determined using external and internal valuation techniques, depending on the type of underlying asset. Those assets are


Table of Contents
comprised mainly of real estate properties for which the appraisal is conducted by experts considering factors such as the location, type and characteristics of the property, size, physical conditions and expected selling costs, among others. Likewise, in some cases the fair value is estimated considering comparable prices or promises of sale and offering prices from auctions process.

g. Mortgage-backed securities (“TIPS”) and Asset-Backed securities

The Bank invests in asset-backed securities for which underlying assets are mortgages and earnings under contracts issued by financial institutions and corporations, respectively. The Bank does not have a significant exposure to sub-prime securities. The asset-backed securities are denominated in local market TIPS and are classified as fair value through profit or loss. These asset-backed securities have different maturities and are generally classified by credit ratings.

TIPS are part of the Bank portfolio and its fair value is measured with published price by the official pricing services provider. These securities are leveled by margin and are assigned level 2 or 3 based on the Precia information.

Residual TIPS have their fair value measured using the discounted flow method, taking into account the amortization tables of the Titularizadora Colombiana, the betas in COP and UVR of Precia (used to construct the curves) and the margins; when they are residual TIPS of subordinated issues, a liquidity premium is applied. These securities are assigned level 3.

h. Investments in associates measured at fair value

The Bank recognizes its investments in P.A Viva Malls and P.A Distrito Vera as an associate at fair value. The estimated amount is provided by the fund manager as the variation of the units according to the units owned by the FCP Fondo Inmobiliario Colombia. The associate’s assets are comprised of investment properties which are measured using the following techniques: comparable prices, discounted cash flows, replacement cost and direct capitalization. For further information about techniques methodologies and inputs used by the external party see “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements”.

i. Investment property

The Bank’s investment property is valued by external experts, who use valuation techniques based on comparable prices, direct capitalization, discounted cash flows and replacement costs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

IFRS requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Certain categories of assets and liabilities, however, are not eligible for fair value accounting. The financial instruments below are not measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:


Table of Contents

Short-term financial instruments

Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts included in the consolidated statement of financial position, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. This approach was used for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, customers’ acceptances, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest payable and bank acceptances outstanding.

Deposits from customers

The fair value of time deposits was estimated based on the discounted value of cash flows using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Fair value of deposits with no contractual maturities represents the amount payable on demand as of the statement of financial position date.

Interbank deposits and repurchase agreements and other similar secured borrowings

Short-term interbank borrowings and repurchase agreements have been valued at their carrying amounts because of their relatively short-term nature. Long-term and domestic development bank borrowings have also been valued at their carrying amount because they bear interest at variable rates.

Borrowings from other financial institutions

The fair value of borrowings from other financial institutions were determined using discounted cash flow models. The cash flows projection of capital and interest was made according to the contractual terms, considering capital amortization and interest bearing. Subsequently, the cash flows were discounted using reference curves formed by the weighted average of the Bank’s deposit rates.

Debt instruments in issue

The fair value of debt instruments in issue, comprised of bonds issued by Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries, was estimated substantially based on quoted market prices. The fair value of certain bonds which do not have a public trading market, were determined based on the discounted value of cash flows using the rates currently offered for bonds of similar remaining maturities and the Bank’s creditworthiness.

Preferred shares

In the valuation of the liability component of preferred shares related to the minimum dividend of 1% of the subscription price, the Bank uses the Gordon Model to price the obligation, taking into account its own credit risk, which is measured using the market spread based on observable inputs such as quoted prices of sovereign debt. The Gordon Model is commonly used to determine the intrinsic value of a stock based on a future series of dividends that are estimated by the Bank and growth at a constant rate considering the Bank’s own perspectives of the payout ratio.

Loans and advances to customers

Estimating the fair value of loans and advances to customers is considered an area of considerable uncertainty as there is no observable market. The loan portfolio is stratified into tranches and loans segments suchs as commercial, consumer, small business loans, mortgage and leasing. The fair value of loans and advances to customers and financial institutions is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology, considering each credit’s principal and interest projected cash flows to the prepayment date. The projected cash flows are discounted using reference curves according to the type of loan and its maturity date.

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

The Bank measures assets held for sale based on fair value less costs to sell. This category includes certain foreclosed assets and investments in associates held for sale. The fair values were determined using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset. The following breakdown sets forth the fair value hierarchy of those assets classified by type:

As of September 30, 2024, the Bank transferred securities from level 1 to level 2, because such securities had lower liquidity and lower trading in an active market.

All transfers are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements

The fair value of financial instruments is, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices from observable market transactions in the same instrument and are not based on observable market data. Changing one or more of the inputs to the valuation models to reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change the fair values and therefore a valuation adjustment would be recognized in profit or loss. Favorable and unfavorable changes are determined on the basis of changes in the value of the instrument as a result of varying the levels of the unobservable input as described in the table below.

The following table sets forth information about significant unobservable inputs related to the Bank’s material categories of level 3 financial assets and liabilities and the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions.

The following table sets forth information about valuation techniques used in the measurement of the fair value investment properties of the Bank, the significant unobservable inputs and the respective sensivity:

MethodologyValuation techniqueSignificant unobservable inputDescription of sensitivity
Sales Comparison Approach – SCA

The fair value assessment is based on the examination of prices at which similar properties in the same area recently sold. Since no two properties are identical the measurement valuation must take into account adjustments for the differences between the sold properties and those held by the Bank to earn rentals or for capital appreciation.
Comparable prices
The weighted average rates used in the capitalization methodology for revenues in the third quarter for 2024 are:

• Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.14%.
• Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.35%, terminal rate: 8.28%.

The same weighted rates for the last quarter of 2023 were:

• Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.07%.
• Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.44%, terminal rate: 8.25%.

The ratio between monthly gross income and real estate value directly administered by the FIC (rental rate) considering the differences in placements and individual factors between properties and in a weighted way in the third quarter of 2024 are 0.86% and for December 31, 2023 was 0.82%.
An increase (light, normal, considerable, significant) in the capitalization rate used would generate a decrease (significant, considerable, normal, light) in the fair value of the asset, and vice versa.

An increase (light, normal, considerable, significant) in the leases used in the valuation would generate a (significant, light, considerable) increase in the fair value of the asset, and vice versa.
Income Approach

Used to estimate the fair value of the property by taking future net cash flows and discounting them at the capitalization rate.
Direct capitalization

Discounted cash flows
Cost approach

Used to estimate the fair value of the property considering the cost to replace or build a property at the same or equal conditions of the asset to be measured, deducting the accumulated depreciation charge and adding-up the amount of the land.
Replacement cost

There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year 2024 for each asset.


NOTE 24. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Approval of Consolidated Financial Statements

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by Chief Executive Financial for publication at November 08, 2024. The Financial Statements have been reviewed, not audited.

Redemption of Bonds maturing in 2025 Bancolombia S.A.


Table of Contents

On October 24, 2024, the Bank announced the redemption of bonds maturing in 2025 and 2029; on November 13, 2024, the Bank completed the total redemption of the 3,000% Senior Bonds in circulation maturing in 2025, issued by Bancolombia S.A. (the “2025 Bonds”). The Bank carried out the redemption under the make-whole mechanism (mechanism included in the prospectus of the 2025 Bonds, that allows the total redemption of the 2025 Bonds to be exercised) equivalent to the highest value between (i) the Treasury index (U.S. Treasury 5-year notes) plus 25 basis points accrued and unpaid until the redemption date of the 2025 Bonds and (ii) 100% of the principal of the 2025 Bonds plus the interest accrued and not paid until the redemption date of the 2025 Bonds. The total nominal value of the redemption was USD 212,600.

These bonds were designated as hedging instruments in the net exposure of the investment in Banistmo, so the total redemption transaction causes a discontinuation of coverage in an amount of USD 212,600.

Grupo Cibest

On October 29, 2024, Bancolombia S.A. (“Bancolombia”) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized management to move forward with the steps necessary to modify the corporate structure of Bancolombia, its affiliates and subsidiaries (“Grupo Bancolombia”) through the creation of a holding company to be named Grupo Cibest S.A. (“Grupo Cibest”) as well as certain related corporate transactions (the “Corporate Structure Changes”).

The authorization of the Board of Directors includes carrying out all necessary actions to finalize the Corporate Structure Changes, including, but not limited to, those actions aimed at convening the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting once the required regulatory approvals are obtained.


RISK MANAGEMENT

In 2024, the global economy has experienced solid growth, alongside a gradual convergence of inflation toward target levels. This has prompted most central banks to pursue monetary normalization through cautious interest rate cuts. Nevertheless, geopolitical tensions, the global electoral super cycle, and local sociopolitical uncertainties have contributed to heightened asset volatility throughout the year.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an economic loss to the Bank due to a non-fulfillment of financial obligations by a customer or counterparty and arises principally from the decline on borrower´s creditworthiness or changes in the business climate. Credit risk is the single largest risk for the Bank's business; the Bank manages its exposure to credit risk.

The information below contains the maximum exposure to credit risk for the periods ending September 2024 and December 2023:

a.Credit Risk Management - Loans and Advances

The third quarter of 2024 shows economic growth despite the slow reduction in inflation and interest rates, high unemployment rates, and the geopolitical tensions that continue to exist globally. About that, proactive credit risk management was maintained through the monitoring and follow-up of customers and portfolios, the evaluation of the conditions and specific requirements of each one; as well as the development of methods, tools and models to optimize collection. Monitoring and reviewing the credit portfolio continues to be a key factor in identifying and applying proactive strategies at different stages of the credit cycle.

The risk management of the different types of operations throughout the stages of the credit cycle carried out by the Group is developed through compliance with the policies, procedures and methodologies established in the Risk Management System (in Colombia the Comprehensive Risk Management System - SIAR), which also includes the general criteria for assessing, qualifying, assuming, controlling and covering the aforementioned risk. In addition, the management has developed manuals of procedures and methodologies that specify the policies and procedures for the different products and segments served by the banks and that take into account the strategy approved by the Board of Directors for the monitoring and control of credit risk.

Country Risk
This risk refers to the possibility of an entity incurring losses as a result of financial operations abroad due to adverse economic and/or political conditions in the country receiving those operations, either because of restrictions on the transfer of foreign exchange or because of factors not attributable to the commercial and financial condition of the country receiving those operations. This definition includes, but is not limited to, sovereign risk (SR) and transfer risk (TR) associated with such factors.
The guidelines, policies and methodologies for country risks management are maintained in accordance with what was revealed as of December 31, 2023.

At the end of September 2024 compared to December 2023, no alerts were presented changes in the country ratings in any investment, nor were adjustments made for deterioration. Of the relevant movements, the transfer of the investment in Wenia Ltd. from other immaterial entities of the Group to Investment Banking is highlighted. The variation in the value of investments is mainly attributed to variation in the exchange rate, results of the period of foreign subsidiaries and distribution of dividends.


b.Credit Quality Analysis - Loans and Financial Leases
At the end of September 2024, the Bank experienced positive dynamics in its portfolio compared to December 2023, with an increase of 6.1% in the consolidated portfolio balance in local currency. Part of this increase is explained by the impact of the devaluation of the peso against the dollar during the analysis period of the foreign currency portfolio of the Group, and an increase in exposure primarily in the commercial portfolio, within the Corporate segment, for Bancolombia, Banistmo, and Bam. Meanwhile, the mortgage portfolio, although generally stable, shows an upward trend throughout the year in Colombia. The Consumer and Microcredit portfolios in Colombia and Panama show slight contractions, while in El Salvador their balance gradually increases.

The 30-day past due loan ratio (consolidated) at stood at 5.50% as of September 2024, showing an increase compared to 5.39% in December 2023. The level of the bank´s non-performing loans is mainly impacted by the deterioration of the commercial portfolio, in the Corporate and SME segments in Colombia, as well as the mortgage portfolio in all regions. Conversely, the consumer portfolio showed a general improvement, particularly in Colombia, Guatemala, and Panama. Macroeconomic factors, such as the downward trend in inflation and the gradual intervention of interest rates by central banks, continue to boost the economy in the regions where the Group operates. However, geopolitical, social and economic uncertainty, continuing to affect consumption and significantly impacting the commerce, manufacturing, and construction

sectors, which are fundamental pillars of the regional economy. All portfolios continue to be managed at different stages of the credit cycle in order to anticipate the materialization of risks and strategies for normalizing and containing the portfolio have been implemented.

Special Customer Administration (AEC)
The Bank implements proactive management in monitoring the credit risk of its clients, accompanied by extraordinary diagnostic spaces, early warning alert mechanisms, and general action strategies for client inclusion and follow-up.

As part of the monitoring strategies, the Bank has established a periodic committee to identify and manage risk situations arising from events that could potentially lead to a deterioration in the debtor's repayment capacity. This committee facilitates tailored solutions based on the circumstances of each client.

a.Credit Risk Management – Other Financial Instruments
The portfolio is exposed to credit risks given the probability of incurring losses originated by the default in the payment of a coupon, principal and/or yields/dividends of a financial instrument by its issuer or counterparty. The probability of this type of events materializing may increase if there are scenarios of concentration in few issuers (counterparties) and whose credit performance is reflected by higher risk ratings; likewise, increases in credit risk may occur in scenarios in which the portfolio presents low levels of diversification at the level of type and sector of the counterparties with which financial asset transactions are carried out.
The Bank maintains the control and continuous monitoring of the assigned credit risk limits, as well as the consumption thereof. Additionally, the Bank follows up and manages alerts on counterparties and issuers of securities, based on public market information and news related to their performance; this allows mitigating the risks of default or reduction of value for the managed positions.
For credit risk management, each of the positions that make up the portfolio of the own position are adjusted to the policies and limits that have been defined and that seek to minimize the exposure to the same:
Term Limits
Credit Limits
Counterparty Limits
Master Agreement
Margin Agreements
Counterparty Alerts
a.Credit Quality Analysis - Other Financial Instruments
In order to evaluate the credit quality of a counterparty or issuer (to determine a risk level or profile), the Bank relies on two rating systems: an external one and an internal one, both of which allow to identify a degree of risk differentiated by segment and country and to apply the policies that have been established for issuers or counterparties with different levels of risk, in order to limit the impact on liquidity and/or the income statement of the Bank.
External credit rating system is divided by the type of rating applied to each instrument or counterparty; in this way the geographic location, the term and the type of instrument allow the assignment of a rating according to the methodology that each examining agency uses.
Internal credit rating system: The “ratings or risk profiles” scale is created with a range of levels that go from low exposure to high exposure (this can be reported in numerical or alphanumerical scales), where the rating model is sustained by the implementation and analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables at sector level, which according to the relative analysis of each variable, determine credit quality; in this way the internal credit rating system aims to establish adequate margin in decision-making regarding the management of financial instruments.
In accordance with the criteria and considerations specified in the internal rating allocation and external credit rating systems methodologies, the following schemes of relation can be established, according to credit quality given to each one of the qualification scales:
Low Risk: All investment grade positions (from AAA to BBB-), as well as those issuers that according to the information available (financial statements, relevant information, external ratings, CDS, among others) reflect adequate credit quality.
Medium Risk: All speculative grade positions (from BB+ to BB-), as well as those issuers that according to the available information (Financial statements, relevant information, external qualifications, CDS, among others) reflect weaknesses that could affect their financial situation in the medium term.
High Risk: All positions of speculative grade (from B+ to D), as well as those issuers that according to the information available (Financial statements, relevant information, external qualifications, CDS, among others) reflect a high probability of default of financial obligations or that already have failed to fulfill them.

Collateral - other financial instruments

Level of collateral: Respect to the type of asset or operation, a collateral level is determined according to the policies defined for each product and the market where the operation is carried out.
Assets held as collateral in organized markets: The only assets that can be received as collateral are those defined by the central counterparties, the stock market where the operation is negotiated, those assets that are settled separately in different contracts or documents, which can be managed by each organization and must comply with the investment policies defined by the Bank, taking into account the credit limit for each type of asset or operation received or delivered, which collateral received are the best credit quality and liquidity.
Assets received as bilateral collateral between counterparties: The collateral accepted in international OTC derivative operations is agreed on bilaterally in the Credit Support Annex (CSA)1 and with fulfillment in cash in dollars and managed by ClearStream. This company acts on behalf of Bancolombia for making international margin calls and providing a better management of the collateral.
Collateral adjustments for margin agreements: The adjustments will be determined by the criteria applied by both the external and internal regulations in effect, and at the same time, mitigation standards are maintained so that the operation fulfills the liquidity and solidity criteria for settlement.

Credit risk concentration - other financial instruments

According to the regulations, the Bank must control daily the risk of positions of the Bank’s companies where the same issuer or counterparty stands, below the legal limits. By the same way, the positions of the Bank are verified in respect of the authorized risk levels in each country to guarantee the alerts and positions limits, that are considered outside of the Bank risk appetite.
Currently, the Bank's positions do not exceed the concentration limit.

MARKET RISK
    
Bancolombia’s Bank currently measure the treasury book exposure to market risk (including OTC derivatives positions) as well as the currency risk exposure of the banking book, which is provided to the Treasury Division, using a VaR methodology established in accordance with “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, issued by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia.

The VaR methodology established by “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular” is based on the model recommended by the Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks of Basel Committee, which focuses on the treasury book and excludes investments classified as amortized cost which are not being given as collateral and any other investment that comprises the banking book. In addition, the methodology aggregates all risks by the use of correlations, through an allocation system based on defined zones and bands, affected by given sensitivity factors.
Bancolombia use different models with the purpose of measure risk exposure and the portfolio diversification effect, the main metrics are: i) the standard methodology required by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia, is established by “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, and ii) the internal methodology of historical weighted simulation, which use a confidence level of 99%, a holding period of 10 days, a time frame of 250 business days and hierarchical VaR limits.
The guidelines and principles of the Bank´s Market Risk Management have been keeping in accordance with disclose of December 31, 2023.

The total market risk VaR had an increase of 40.4%, from COP 1,096,000 in December 31, 2023 to COP 1,539,264 in September 30, 2024. t The risk factor leading the increment is the exchange rate, which registered a greater exposure to the US dollar; followed by the interest rate factor driven mainly by the increase in United States government bonds and local public debt. The collective investment funds factor registered an increase mainly due a greater exposure of the Colombia Inmobiliario Fund, followed by the share price factor due to valuations in investments.

1 A Credit Support Annex (CSA) provides credit protection by setting forth the rules governing the mutual posting of collateral. CSAs are used in documenting collateral arrangements between two parties that trade privately negotiated (over the counter) derivative securities. The trade is documented under a standard contract called a master agreement, developed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA).

Interest Risk Exposure (Banking Book)

The Bancolombia Group performs a sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk, estimating the impact on the net interest margin of each position in the banking book using a repricing model and assuming a positive parallel change of 100 basis points (bps) in the rates.
Table 1 provides information about the interest rate risk sensitivity of the Bancolombia Group's banking book positions.

Table 1. Sensitivity to Interest Rate Risk of the Banking Book

The chart below provides information about interest rate risk sensitivity in local currency (COP) at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 Net interest income sensitivity 100 bps 675252



Table of Contents
A positive net sensitivity denotes a higher sensitivity of assets than of liabilities and implies that a rise in interest rates will positively affect the Bank´s net interest income. A negative sensitivity denotes a higher sensitivity of liabilities than of assets and implies that a rise in interest rates will negatively affect the Bank´s net interest income. In the event of a decrease in interest rates, the impacts on net interest income would be opposite to those described above.


Total Exposure

As of septembrer 30, 2024, the net sensitivity of the banking book in legal currency to positive and parallel variations in interest rates of 100 basis points was COP 581,027. The variation in the sensitivity of the net interest margin between December 2023 and september 2024 is presented by the decrease in liability sensitivity due to the reduction in interbank borrowings, bonds and demand deposits.

On the other hand, the sensitivity to the net interest margin in foreign currency, assuming the same parallel displacement of 100 basis points presented an increase between December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024 to USD 0.675 due to the increase of the fixed- rate loans offset by the increment in the fixed rate time deposits from Bancolombia’s Group.

Liquidity risk

During the first quarter, Bancolombia presented a comfortable liquidity level, continuing to monitor the established alerts. The liquid assets fullfilled the limits and comfortably covered the liquidity requirements of the Bank companies.

Liquidity risk exposure
In order to estimate liquidity risk, the Bank measures a liquidity coverage ratio to ensure holding liquid assets sufficient to cover potential net cash outflows over 30 days. This indicator allows the Bank to meet liquidity coverage for the next month. The liquidity coverage ratio is presented as follows:
 Liquidity Coverage Ratio September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023

 13,752,496
Liquid Assets49,508,129
 50,680,823
Liquidity coverage ratio*283.65%368.52%


The coverage indicator presented a reduction from 368.5% in December 2023 to 283.65% in September 2024, mainly explained by the increase in Bancolombia's liquidity requirement, due to the reduction in the projection of the income in active liquidity operations and loans.

Liquid Assets

One of the main guidelines of the Bank is to maintain a solid liquidity position, therefore, the ALCO Committee, has established a minimum level of liquid assets, based on the funding needs of each subsidiary, to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Bank’s reputation.

The following table shows the liquid assets held by Bank:

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
As part of the LIBOR benchmark reform that is being implemented since 2017 by the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK, in March of the present year, it was announced that the publication of LIBOR on a representative basis will cease for the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023.
Grupo Bancolombia has taken the necessary measures to identify and implement the action plans required to address the discontinuation process of the LIBOR rate, among them, the approval of SOFR rate as the replacement rate of LIBOR in USD, which was approved by the Asset and Liability Management (ALM) Committee and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, to commenced with the development of products indexed to the new reference rate (SOFR).
