Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) is an issuer of securities in Colombia and in the United States (“SEC”). As such, it is subject to compliance with securities regulation in Colombia and applicable U.S. securities regulation. Grupo Aval is also subject to the inspection and supervision of the Superintendency of Finance as holding company of the Aval financial conglomerate.

 

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

 

Banco de Bogotá executed a spin-off of a 75% equity stake in BAC Holding International Corp (“BHI”); to its shareholders and Grupo Aval subsequently spun-off its equity interest to its shareholders on March 29, 2022. Prior to the spin-off, Banco de Bogotá was the direct and only parent of BHI. Furthermore, on December 19, 2022, Banco de Bogotá sold 20.89% of the outstanding investment of BHI through a tender offer. As of December 31, 2022, Banco de Bogotá held 4.11% of BHI. This investment is reflected as an investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

As a result, for comparability purposes, we have prepared and present supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, that assumes the spin-off was completed on January 1, 2021. As a result of the sale of 20.89% of BHI, in this presentation we have reclassified the BHI’s equity method to discontinued operation for the second and third quarter of 2022.

 

The supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of our results of operations or financial position had the relevant transactions occurred on the dates assumed and does not project our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date. The pro forma financial information is unaudited and the completion of the external audit for the year ended December 31, 2022, may result in adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial information presented herein any such adjustments may be material. For further information, please see the supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information in our fourth quarter of 2022 earnings release.

 

This report includes forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these and other comparable words. Actual results and events may differ materially from those anticipated herein as a consequence of changes in general, economic and business conditions, changes in interest and currency rates and other risk described from time to time in our filings with the Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores and the SEC.

 

Recipients of this document are responsible for the assessment and use of the information provided herein. Matters described in this presentation and our knowledge of them may change extensively and materially over time, but we expressly disclaim any obligation to review, update or correct the information provided in this report, including any forward looking statements, and do not intend to provide any update for such material developments prior to our next earnings report.

Report of 4Q2022 and FY 2022 consolidated results

Information reported in Ps billions and under IFRS, except per share information

 

 

 

Bogotá, March 3rd, 2023. Grupo Aval S.A. (NYSE:AVAL) reported a consolidated attributable net income of Ps 2,482.9 billion (Ps 107.3 pesos per share) for 2022 versus a Ps 3,297.7 billion (Ps 148.0 pesos per share) figure reported for 2021. ROAE was 14.0% and ROAA was 1.6% for 2022.

 

Key results of 4Q 2022:

 

Colombia’s economy lost its momentum during the fourth quarter of 2022. GDP growth during 4Q22 rose to 2.9% when compared to the same quarter in 2021. The previous three quarters grew 7.8%, 12.1% and 7.7%, respectively. GDP Growth during the year was 7.5%. A contractionary monetary policy, which included several increases to the repo rate totaling a staggering 900 bps during the year, and 200 bps during the fourth quarter, was transmitted like never before to the banks’ costs of funds as the banking sector competed for longer term deposits mostly to comply with new liquidity requirements issued by the Superintendency of Finance. Conversely, banks that specialize in consumer lending will only gradually reprice in time their mostly fixed-rate loan portfolios.

 

As previously disclosed, Aval’s 1Q22 results included extraordinary net income of Ps 724 billion as a result of Banco de Bogota’s spin-off of 75% of BHI. During 4Q22 Banco de Bogota accepted a tender offer to sell an additional 21% of BHI, which resulted in an extraordinary loss in Aval’s P&L of Ps 678 billion. For the year, both transactions resulted in a Ps 46 billion extraordinary net income. For ease of analyzing the 2022 results, 2021 figures are expressed on a pro-forma basis to reflect consolidated numbers excluding BHI’s contribution. As such,

 

Aval’s consolidated loan portfolio grew 18.1% in 2022 (4.1% during 4Q22). During the year, consumer loans grew 17.0%, commercial loans grew 18.3% and mortgages grew 21.8%. Total deposits grew 17.0% in 2022 (4.1% during 4Q22).

 

The quality of Aval’s loan portfolios improved during 2022; the ratio of +30 days past due loans improved by 30 basis points, from 4.65% at the end of 4Q21 to 4.35% at the end of 4Q22. +90 day past due loans improved by 38 basis points, from 3.63% at the end of 4Q21 to 3.25% at the end of 4Q22. Additionally, year-on-year, IFRS Stage 1 loans increased by 550 basis points, while Stage 2 loans decreased by 480 basis points and Stage 3 loans decreased by 70 basis points.

 

Cost of Risk improved by 36 bps, from 1.84% during 2021 to 1.48% during 2022.

 

As mentioned before, Aval’s NIM on loans includes the costs of borrowing of Corficolombiana’s subsidiaries, and therefore is not a pure banking NIM. This number is mostly distorted when the cost of borrowing increases materially, which is currently the case. While total NIM on loans decreased 79 bps during 2022 (from 5.47% to 4.68%), NIM on loans strictly of our banks decreased 41 bps (from 5.70% to 5.29%).

 

NIM on investments for the year was -0.-13%, a decrease of 49 bps versus 2021 (0.36%).

 

Total NIM contracted 67 bps during the year (from 4.35% to 3.68%) and stayed unchanged during the quarter at 3.51%.

 

Banking fees, Trust Fees and Bonded warehouse fees increased 17.11%, 4.95% and 10.54%, respectively, during the year, while Pension fees contracted 26.16% mostly due to the increase in life and disability insurance premiums, which Porvenir contracts and pays on behalf of its clients and which reduces Porvenir’s total fee income.

 

Income from Aval’s Non-Financial Sector increased in 2022 by 46.7% when compared to 2021, but decreased by 21.2% in the last quarter due mostly to the on-going negotiation of Promigas’ fee structure.

 

Other Operating Income contracted 34.1% during the year, from Ps 1,457 billion to Ps 960 billion, mainly because of a net loss of Ps 296 billion in derivatives and foreign exchange, as a result of the shift in Banco de Bogota’s foreign exchange position after the spin-off and sale of BHI.

 

Aval’s cost to assets ratio improved by 10 bps during 2022 (from 2.8% in 2021 to 2.7% in 2022).

 

As a result, Aval’s attributable net income for the year was Ps 2.48 trillion, which includes Ps .59 trillion from discontinued operations. For the same period, ROAA and ROAE were 1.64% and 14.0% respectively.

    Pro forma ratio

 

Pro-forma Loans, Allowances, Net Interest, Fees and Operating costs for 4Q21 and 2021 are calculated based on the previously reported consolidated figures excluding BHI’s contribution to these numbers.

Pro-forma ratios for 4Q21 and 2021 are calculated based on the pro-forma figures explained above.

Pro-forma ratios for 2022 are based on reported revenues and expenses, associated to each ratio; however, the denominators averages used to calculate these ratios contain pro-forma figures from previous quarters.

 

Gross loans excludes interbank and overnight funds. PDLs 90+ defined as loans more than 90 days past due. Cost of Risk calculated as Impairment loss on loans and other accounts receivable net of recoveries of charged-off assets divided by average gross loans. Net Interest Margin includes net interest income plus net trading income from debt and equity investments at FVTPL divided by total average interest-earning assets. Fee income ratio is calculated as net income from commissions and fees divided by net interest income plus net income from commissions and fees, gross profit from sales of goods and services, net trading income, net income from other financial instruments mandatory at FVTPL and total other income. Efficiency Ratio is calculated as total other expenses divided by net interest income plus net income from commissions and fees, gross profit from sales of goods and services, net trading income, net income from other financial instruments mandatory at FVTPL and total other income. ROAA is calculated as annualized Net Income divided by average of total assets. ROAE is calculated as Net Income attributable to Aval's shareholders divided by average attributable shareholders' equity . NS refers to non-significant figures.
