5. Financial Performance Overview
2Q16
5
Net Profit • Net Profit QoQ decrease on higher allowance for loan losses, which offset
combined effects of increased fees and other income, and lower operating
expenses
• Net Interest Income QoQ decrease on lower average lending balances
• Net Interest Margin – NIM stable at 2.06% on higher lending spreads which
offset the effect of lower average earning assets (-3% QoQ, -3% YoY)
• Fees & Other Income increased from successful completion of five
syndicated transactions and higher net gain on sale of loans and other
income, as income from letters of credit business remained stable QoQ.
Robust pipeline of mandated transactions for the remainder of the year
• End-of-period Commercial Portfolio and quarterly average balances
both stood at $6.8 billion (-2% QoQ EOP & -3% QoQ AVG) on exposure
reductions in Brazil and parts of Central America & Caribbean, and by
unexpected prepayments largely offsetting increased disbursements
• Allowance for loan losses, investment securities impairment and off-
balance sheet items increased $10.8 million QoQ reflecting one-off
impairment and ongoing restructuring efforts in a few closely monitored
exposures. Non-Performing Loans (NPL) increased to $84.7 million (NPL to
gross loans portfolio ratio of 1.30%), partially mitigated by improved risk
profile of remaining portfolio
• Efficiency level improved to 23% from 33% on increase income (+20%) and
decreased expenses (-19%) on lower performance-based compensation
expense
• Board declared $0.385 quarterly dividends per share, unchanged from
prior quarter, as business outlook remains robust

6. Net Profit Evolution &
Quality of Earnings - QoQ
• QoQ Net Profit decrease on net effect of
increased provisions for impairment loss
from expected credit losses on loans, off-
balance sheet credit risk & investment
securities portfolio, offsetting positive
effects from higher fees and other
income, miscellaneous income, non-core
items, and lower operating expenses
• Non-core items (+$4.9 million) reflect
significant reduction of exposure to
market risk as participation in investment
funds was fully redeemed during 2Q16
• YoY Net Profit variation of +$8.8 million
(+65%) mainly on increased net interest
income, fees and other income and
miscellaneous income, reduced operating
expenses, offsetting provisions for
impairment loss from expected credit
losses
6(*) Miscellaneous Income includes the following line items of the Consolidated statements of profit or loss: Derivate financial
instruments and foreign currency exchange, Gain (loss) per financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss, and Gain
(loss) per financial instrument at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income.
7. Financial Performance Overview

• YTD Net Profit YoY increase from higher net interest income,
increased fees & other income, and lower operating expenses, which
compensated the effect non-core losses from the participation in
investment funds and higher provisions for impairment from expected
credit losses
• Net Interest Income increased on higher Net Interest Margin
reflecting increased net lending spreads and market rates, offsetting
lower average interest earning assets (-3%)
• Fees & Other Income increased mainly as five syndicated
transactions were competed during 2Q16, compared to nil in the
comparison period
• Efficiency Ratio improved to 28% from 33% on expense reductions
and lower performance-based compensation expense

8. Net Interest Income (NII) &
Net Interest Margin (NIM)
• Higher market rates and lending spreads as interest-earning assets continued to re-price, more
than offset the effects of lower average loan lending balances (-2% QoQ and -3% YoY), and
higher cost of funds from the re-pricing of liabilities due to increased market rates (+9 pbs QoQ
and +33 bps YoY)
• NIM expansion stabilized at strong levels, reaching 2.06% for the 2Q16 and 6M16, unchanged
QoQ, and significantly stronger (+27 bps) when compared to 2Q15
• 10% YoY increase in Net Interest Income on higher NIM (+24 pbs YoY), reflecting increased net
lending spreads and market rates, offsetting lower loan portfolio average balances (-3%)

higher business income and lower
operating expenses from decreased
performance-based compensation
expense
