Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) is an issuer of securities in Colombia and in the United States, registered with Colombia’s National Registry of Shares and Issuers (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, it is subject to the control of the Superintendency of Finance and compliance with applicable U.S. securities regulation as a “foreign private issuer” under Rule 405 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Grupo Aval is a not a financial institution and is not supervised or regulated as a financial institution in Colombia.

 

As an issuer of securities in Colombia, Grupo Aval is required to comply with periodic reporting requirements and corporate governance, however, it is not regulated as a financial institution or as a holding company of banking subsidiaries and, thus, is not required to comply with capital adequacy regulations applicable to banks and other financial institutions.

 

All of our banking subsidiaries, Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular, Banco AV Villas, and their respective Colombian financial subsidiaries, including Porvenir and Corficolombiana, are subject to inspection and surveillance as financial institutions by the Superintendency of Finance.

 

Although we are not a financial institution, until December 31, 2014 we prepared the unaudited consolidated financial information included in our quarterly reports in accordance with the regulations of the Superintendency of Finance for financial institutions and generally accepted accounting principles for banks to operate in Colombia, also known as Colombian Banking GAAP because we believe that presentation on that basis most appropriately reflected our activities as a holding company of a group of banks and other financial institutions.

 

However, in 2009 the Colombian Congress enacted Law 1314 establishing the implementation of IFRS in Colombia. As a result, since January 1, 2015 financial entities and Colombian issuers of publicly traded securities such as Grupo Aval must prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

 

IFRS as applicable under Colombian regulations differs in certain aspects from IFRS as currently issued by the IASB. Our 20-F annual report filed with the SEC provides a description of the principal differences between Colombian Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as well as expected changes from our implementation of IFRS as applicable under Colombian regulations.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this webcast is presented in accordance with IFRS as currently issued by the IASB.

 

Details of the calculations of non-GAAP measures such as ROAA and ROAE, among others, are explained when required in this report.

 

Because of our migration to IFRS and our first year of implementation of IFRS accounting principles, the unaudited consolidated financial information for 2015, and the comparative information for the respective periods of 2014 presented herein, may be subject to further amendments.

 

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

 

When applicable, in this webcast we refer to billions as thousands of millions.

 

 

 

 

 

Report of 4Q 2015 consolidated results 

Information reported in Ps. billions and under Full IFRS

 

 

Bogotá April 11, 2016. GRUPO AVAL ACCIONES Y VALORES S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) reports a consolidated attributable net income result of Ps. 693,392 million for 4Q15 versus a 444,825 million figure reported for 3Q15. ROAE for the quarter was 19.8% and ROAA for the quarter was 2.2%.

 

The following are the main highlights of Grupo Aval’s FY2015 results under Full IFRS:

 

Net income attributable for the shareholders was 2.04 trillion pesos or 92 pesos per share, which compares favorably versus the 1.81 trillion pesos or 87 pesos per share achieved during 2014, also under Full IFRS. Excluding the non-recurring impact of the payment of the equity tax, net income for 2015 would have been 2.25 trillion or 101 pesos per share.

 

ROAE for the year was 14.5% and ROAA was 1.7%.

 

Asset growth for year was 21% and liability growth was 23%, both denominated in pesos. Excluding the impact of the devaluation of the peso, asset growth would have been 12% and liabilities growth would have been 14%.

 

The growth in assets was driven mainly by the growth in the loan book which increased in pesos by 23%, or by 14%, excluding the impact of the devaluation.

 

The Deposit to Net Loan ratio for year end 2015 was 0.96x, which compares favorably versus other Colombian peers.

 

The 30 days PDL ratio was 2.4% for FY 2015 versus 2.6% for FY 2014. The NPL ratio was 1.6% for FY 2015 versus 1.7% for FY 2014.

 

The Cost of Risk was 1.66% in 2015 versus 1.58% in 2014.

 

NIM for the year was 5.51%, versus 5.59% in 2014. We were able to maintain a stable NIM of loans of 6.3% and ended the year with a NIM on investments of 1.9% versus 2.6% during 2014.

 

The efficiency ratio was 48% for 2015 versus 47% for 2014. The deterioration of this ratio was mainly explained by the impact that the devaluation of the peso.

 

The implicit tax rate for the year was 36% for FY 2015 versus 38% for FY 2014.

 

Note: Figures for FY2014 and 4Q2014 included in this report have been adjusted versus the sum of the unaudited consolidated quarters under IFRS previously reported. Earnings for the year have not substantially changed (a 1.5% reduction), however the classification of certain line items has been revised. All Income Statement adjustments for the year are reflected in the 4th quarter of 2014. In addition, some adjustments were made to the 3rd quarter 2015 balance sheet compared to what we have previously reported.

2 Haga clic para modificar l estilo de título del patrón Disclaimer Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S . A . (“Grupo Aval”) is an issuer of securities in Colombia and in the United States, registered with Colombia’s National Registry of Shares and Issuers (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) . As such, it is subject to the control of the Superintendency of Finance and compliance with applicable U . S . securities regulation as a “foreign private issuer” under Rule 405 of the U . S . Securities Act of 1933 . Grupo Aval is a not a financial institution and is not supervised or regulated as a financial institution in Colombia . As an issuer of securities in Colombia, Grupo Aval is required to comply with periodic reporting requirements and corporate governance, however, it is not regulated as a financial institution or as a holding company of banking subsidiaries and, thus, is not required to comply with capital adequacy regulations applicable to banks and other financial institutions . All of our banking subsidiaries, Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular, Banco AV Villas, and their respective Colombian financial subsidiaries, including Porvenir and Corficolombiana, are subject to inspection and surveillance as financial institutions by the Superintendency of Finance . Although we are not a financial institution, until December 31 , 2014 we prepared the unaudited consolidated financial information included in our quarterly reports in accordance with the regulations of the Superintendency of Finance for financial institutions and generally accepted accounting principles for banks to operate in Colombia, also known as Colombian Banking GAAP because we believe that presentation on that basis most appropriately reflected our activities as a holding company of a group of banks and other financial institutions . However, in 2009 the Colombian Congress enacted Law 1314 establishing the implementation of IFRS in Colombia . As a result, since January 1 , 2015 financial entities and Colombian issuers of publicly traded securities such as Grupo Aval must prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS . IFRS as applicable under Colombian regulations differs in certain aspects from IFRS as currently issued by the IASB . Our 20 - F annual report filed with the SEC provides a description of the principal differences between Colombian Banking GAAP and U . S . GAAP as well as expected changes from our implementation of IFRS as applicable under Colombian regulations . The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this webcast is presented in accordance with IFRS as currently issued by the IASB . Details of the calculations of non - GAAP measures such as ROAA and ROAE, among others, are explained when required in this report . Because of our migration to IFRS and our first year of implementation of IFRS accounting principles, the unaudited consolidated financial information for 2015 , and the comparative information for the respective periods of 2014 presented herein, may be subject to further amendments .

Excluding the non - recurring impact of the payme nt of the equity tax, net income for 2015 would have been 2.25 trillion or 101 pesos per share. • ROAE for the year was 14.5% and ROAA was 1.7%. • Asset growth for year was 21% and liability growth was 23%, both denominated in pesos. Excluding the impact of the devaluatio n o f the peso, asset growth would have been 12% and liabilities growth would have been 14%. • The growth in assets was driven mainly by the growth in the loan book which increased in pesos by 23%, or by 14%, excluding t he impact of the devaluation. • The Deposit to Net Loan ratio for year end 2015 was 0.96x, which compares favorably versus other Colombian peers. • The 30 days PDL ratio was 2.4% for FY 2015 versus 2.6% for FY 2014.
