Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Bancolombia S. A.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Bancolombia S. A. and its subsidiaries (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Bank´s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Bank maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Bank's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements and on the Banks's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Bank in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Bancolombia S. A.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.


Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Allowance for loans, advances and lease losses

As described in Notes 2 (section D.4.1.2.1 and E.1), to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on evaluations of the loan portfolio utilizing objective and subjective criteria. As of December 31, 2024, the allowance for loan losses was COP$16,179,738 million on total loans of COP$279,453,908 million. As disclosed by management, expected credit losses are calculated using both individual and collective models and methodologies. These are based on significant assumptions and judgements that consider historical credit data, the current situation of the borrower and reasonable and proper forecasts of future economic conditions. Collective models include parameters such as the probability of default at 12 months, probability of default throughout the lifetime of the obligation (when the loan is classified as stage 2), loss given default, and exposure at default. These models also incorporate a prospective approach that includes assumptions of future macroeconomic conditions in plausible future scenarios. In addition, for loans individually assessed in stage 3, the Bank will evaluate significant defaulted loans. This evaluation will consider the debt profile of each debtor, the fair value of guarantees granted, information on credit behavior and the expected future cash flows from the client.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for loans, advances and lease losses is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment used by management in determining the expected credit losses, in particular the assumptions used in determining: probability of default at 12 months, probability of default throughout the lifetime of the obligation, loss given default, exposure at default with the inclusion of the forward-looking basis that includes assumptions of future macroeconomic conditions in plausible future scenarios. In addition, for loans individually assessed in Stage 3 analysis of the debt profile of each debtor, information on the credit behavior, the future cash flows expected from the client and the fair value of guarantees granted, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence obtained relating to these significant assumptions, and (ii) the audit effort

involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming the overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Bank allowance for loans, advances and leasing losses estimation process, which included controls over the data, models and assumptions used in the estimation process. These procedures also included, among others: testing management’s process for estimating the allowance for loan, advances and lease losses by (i) evaluating the appropriateness of the models utilized for the estimation of the expected loss parameters and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions, such as default at 12 months and lifetime, loss given default and exposure at default with the inclusion of the forward-looking basis that include assumptions of future macroeconomic conditions in plausible future scenarios, and evaluating the adjustments, (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the estimate and the mathematical accuracy of the impairment calculation for the credit portfolios; and (iii) evaluating individual credit files to determine the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the future cash flows expected from the client and the fair value of guarantees granted, estimated by management in the impairment for the credit portfolios. The procedures included the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the models utilized by management, methodologies and the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the credit loss estimates.

Goodwill impairment assessment

As described in Notes 2 (section D.13) and 12.2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank goodwill balance was COP$9,017,419 million as of December 31, 2024. The Bank evaluates at the end of each period whether there is any indication that on a stand-alone basis non-financial assets and cash-generating units are impaired. If some indication of impairment does exist, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the assets and the loss by impairment, the impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Regardless of whether impairment indicators exist, impairment of goodwill is assessed annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. The recoverable amount of non-financial assets or cash-generating units is defined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Fair value is determined by Management with reference to market value (if available), through pricing models, or with the assistance of a valuation specialist. Meanwhile, value in use requires Management to develop significant assumptions and estimates to forecast cash flow for periods that extend beyond the normal requirements of management reports, assessing the appropriate discount rate and growth rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of all reporting units is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the recoverable amount measurement of the cash generating units. This in turn led to degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions, related to discount rate and growth rate, and other

assumptions commonly used to determine the recoverable value of the goodwill. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming the overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Bank cash generating units. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the recoverable amount estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering: (i) the current and past performance of the cash generating unit, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and other assumptions used to determine the recoverable value of the goodwill. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model and the reasonableness of significant assumptions, relating to the discount rate and growth rate.

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.

F-15


Bancolombia S.A.’s business purpose is to carry out all operations, transactions, acts and services inherent to the banking business. The Parent Company may, by itself or through its subsidiaries, own interests in other corporations, wherever authorized by law, according to all terms and requirements, limits or conditions established therein.

The Parent Company and its subsidiaries include the following operating segments: Banking Colombia, Banking Panama, Banking El Salvador, Banking Guatemala, Trust, Investment banking, Brokerage, International Banking and Others. The activities carried out by each operating segment of Bancolombia Group are described in Note 3. Operating segments.

The assets and liabilities of operations in Barbados through Mercom Bank were transferred to other companies, leaving the balances of the credit portfolio and deposit portfolio at zero. As of December 31, 2024, the company is in the process of dissolution and liquidation.

Operations in the Cayman Islands through Sinesa Cayman, Inc. (before Bancolombia Cayman) have been canceled or transferred. On November 22, 2023, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority approved the delivery of the banking license in accordance with Section 20(1)(a) of the Banking and Trust Companies Act (2021 Revision) (the “BTCA”). Therefore, the banking license has been canceled as of that date.

The General Assembly of Shareholders of Transportempo S.A.S approved the liquidation of the company, making the corresponding adjudications and approvals of its final accounts. The above is recorded in Minute No. 98 of July 3, 2024.

On December 14, 2021, The Parent Company´s Board of Directors authorized the legal separation of the Nequi business, the digital platform of Bancolombia Group. The Financial Superintendence of Colombia (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) through Resolution 0843 of July 6, 2022, later modified by the Resolution 0955 of July 27, 2022, authorized the establishment of Nequi S.A. Compañía de Financiamiento. The legal separation resulted in the creation and commercial registration of a new corporation through which Nequi will operate as a 100% digital credit establishment. Nequi must obtain an authorization certificate or operating permit, accredited by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia in order to operate. Activities for this process are in progress. In September 2022, the company Nequi S.A. was created with a capitalization of COP 150,000 distributed mainly in Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. Corporación Financiera with a participation percentage of 94.99%, Inversiones CFNS S.A.S. and others minority stockholders of 5.01%.
The Parent Company announced on October 29, 2024 that its Board of Directors authorized management to move forward with the steps necessary to modify the corporate structure of The Parent Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries through the creation of a holding company to be named Grupo Cibest S.A. as well as certain related corporate transactions.

The corporate structure changes will be presented, as applicable, for consideration at the shareholder meetings of the entities involved, including at an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of the common and preferred shareholders of The Parent Company once required regulatory authorizations are obtained in Colombia and in other jurisdictions where The Parent Company ´s affiliates and subsidiaries operate.

The changes in the corporate structure include the following transactions:

(iii)The distribution of certain assets and subsidiaries of Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. Corporación Financiera to The Parent Company.
(iv)The distribution of certain assets and subsidiaries of The Parent Company to Grupo Cibest.

F-16


Once the corporate structure changes are completed, Grupo Cibest will be the parent company of The Parent Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries.
The shareholders of The Parent Company will become shareholders of Grupo Cibest, maintaining the same number of shares and the same percentage investment and under the same terms and conditions they have in The Parent Company at the time the transaction is finalized, which means the transaction will not involve the change in any rights with respect to the common and preferred shares nor any transfer of value to third parties.

On January 13, 2025, The Parent Company announced the publication of notices of merger by absorption and distribution of certain assets.

As of December 31, 2024, Bancolombia Group has 34,114 employees, 34,786 banking correspondents, 6,113 ATMs and operates through 844 offices.

NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.   Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Bank's are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter, “IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter, “IASB”), as well as, the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (hereinafter, “IFRS-IC”).
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of accounting estimates that, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Therefore, the estimates and assumptions are constantly reviewed. Any revision is recognized in the same period if it affects the reviewed period; or in the reviewed period and future periods if it affects all the current and future periods.
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements under going concern basis
Management has assessed the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern and confirms that the Bank 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 Bank's liquidity position at the date of authorization of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
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 all investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using the equity method.
The consolidated 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 and the exchange rate, which are stated in units of Colombian pesos, while other currencies (dollars, euro, pounds, etc.) are stated in thousands.
F-17


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 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 SFC, which differ in certain accounting principles from IFRS that are used in the consolidated financial statements.
B.   Presentation of the consolidated financial statements
The Bank presents the consolidated statement of financial position ordered by liquidity and the consolidated statement of income is prepared based on the nature of expenses. Revenues and expenses are not offset unless such treatment is permitted or required by an accounting standard or interpretation and described in the Bank's policies.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income presents net income and items of OCI classified by nature and grouped into those that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those that will be reclassified when specific conditions are met. The Bank discloses the amount of income tax relating to each item of OCI.
The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared using the indirect method, whereby net income is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, changes during the period in operating assets and liabilities, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.
C.   Consolidation
1.   Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Parent Company consolidates the financial results of the entities over which it exerts control.
The Parent Company has the following subsidiaries making up the Bank´s organizational structure, which is currently registered as a corporate group:

When necessary, adjustments are made to the accounting principles in the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Bank's accounting policies, in order to prepare consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Bank are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in controlled entities are presented in profit or loss and equity separately from the Parent Company's shareholders' equity and profit or loss. When the Bank loses control over a subsidiary, any residual interest remaining on the Bank balances is measured at fair value; gains or losses arising from this measurement are recognized in net income.
The loan and financial leases originated by Banistmo and Bancolombia Panama are subject to prudential regulation in Panama by the Superintendencia de Bancos de Panamá (“SBP”) requiring the maintenance of minimum reserves as a countercyclical capital buffer. For the years ended as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the reserves recognized amounted to COP 972,818 and COP 835,527. The establishment of these reserves restrict the ability of the aforementioned subsidiaries to pay dividends to Bancolombia S.A., the ultimate parent, except in the event of liquidation.

2.    Transactions between entities under common control
Combinations of entities under common control refer to those transactions in which all the combining entities are under the control of the Bank both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory.
The assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transactions between entities under common control are recognized at the carrying value of the acquirer’s financial statements. The Bank presents the net assets received prospectively from the date of the transfer.
3.    Fund’s administration
The Bank manages assets held in mutual funds and other forms of investment. Assets managed by the Bank's subsidiaries and owned by third parties are not included in the consolidated financial statements unless control exists as structured entities.

(5)    Investment in non-operational stage. The variation in assets managed is mainly due to the effect of converting US dollars to Colombian pesos in the consolidation process, the closing exchange rate was to 3,822.05 in December 2023 and 4,409.15 in December 2024 and the exit of clients from one of its investment Funds. For further information, see Note 2.C. Consolidation.

For all these funds, the Bank participated in the design of the structured entity, makes operating and financial decisions on behalf of the funds, and is exposed to variable returns such as dividends or returns paid in quarterly installments.
Commissions earned by the management of funds that are not consolidated are included in the consolidated statement of income as “Fees and commissions income”.
4.    Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately within the Bank equity. Similarly, net income and other comprehensive income are also attributed to non-controlling interest and equity holders of the Parent Company. In a business combination, the amount of non-controlling interest may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets. The option for recognition is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
Any purchase or sale of shares in subsidiaries that does not imply a loss or gain of control is directly recognized in equity.
F-21


D.    Material Accounting Policies
The material accounting policies used by the Bank in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements are detailed below:
1.    Functional currency, transactions and balances in foreign currency
The functional and presentation currency of the Bank's consolidated financial statements is the Colombian peso. Therefore, all balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the Colombian peso are considered as foreign currency, which are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of the transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period end are generally recognized in net income. They are deferred in equity (other comprehensive income) if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Non-monetary items that are measured at cost are held at the exchange rate at the transaction date, while those which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in net income, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in net income.
The Bank translated the results and financial position of foreign subsidiaries into the functional currency as follows:
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated statement of financial position;
Income and expenses for each statement of income and statement of comprehensive income is translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
All resulting of such translations are recognized in other comprehensive income in the caption “Translation adjustment”.
When a foreign operation is sold, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to net income, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing exchange rate.
The table below sets forth the exchange rate used by the Bank and its subsidiaries to convert consolidated statement of financial position accounts and transactions in U.S. dollar into Colombian pesos:
December 31, 2024
December 31, 2023
December 31, 2022
Year-end exchange rate
    4,409.15
    3,822.05
    4,810.20
Average rate for the period ended at
    4,073.75
    4,330.14
    4,257.12
2.    Cash and cash equivalents
The Bank considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash and balances at banks and the Central Bank, interbank assets and reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending that have original maturities up to 90 days, as shown in Note 4. Cash and cash equivalents.
F-22


3.    Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are those transactions where an acquirer obtains control of a business (e.g., an acquisition or merger).
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as follows: a) identifiable acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in the acquisition are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition; b) acquisition costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received; and c) goodwill is recognized as an asset in the consolidated statement of financial position or a gain from a bargain purchase.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree, and the equity interests issued by the Bank (if any).
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the value of any non-controlled interest and, when applicable, the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity, over the net fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
For each business combination, at the date of acquisition, the Bank measures the non-controlling interest by the proportional share of the identifiable assets acquired, as well as liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed by the acquired company, or by their fair value.
Any contingent consideration in a business combination is classified as a liability or as equity and is recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition, the liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, and the consideration classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at the date of acquisition, to the Bank cash-generating units (or group of cash generating units) which are expected to benefit from the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or group of units.
For business combinations achieved in stages, any previous equity interest held by the Bank in the acquiree is remeasured at its fair value at the date of acquisition and any resulting gain (or loss) is reported in the consolidated statement of income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. Amounts related to such investments previously recognized in other comprehensive income that must be recycled through net income are reclassified to the consolidated statement of income, as if such investment had been sold. When the associate had other comprehensive income, which was not reclassified to profit or loss, the amounts were reclassified within equity to “Retained earnings” once the investment was sold.
4.    Financial instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
4.1. Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Bank becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes regular way purchases and sales, which are those purchases and sales of financial assets that require the delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The Bank uses settlement date accounting for regular way contracts when recording financial asset transactions.
At initial recognition, the Bank measures financial assets at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset that is not measured at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial
F-23


assets. Transaction costs of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss are recognized as expenses in the income statement. After initial recognition, for financial assets measured at amortized cost and investments in debt securities subsequently measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) is recognized.
4.1.1.  Classification and measurement of financial assets
The Bank classifies its financial assets considering the business model and the characteristics of contractual cash flows (cash flows that consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding at specified dates – “SPPI”) in accordance with the following categories of subsequent measurement:
Amortized cost: measured at cost using the effective interest rate method, excluding future credit losses, and considering transaction costs and premiums granted, less commissions and discounts received that are included in the calculation of the effective interest rate.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”): measured using fair value, variations in the fair value of the investment are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses or recoveries, interest income, and gains or losses on foreign exchange, which are recognized in the income statement.
Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”): measured using fair value, variations in the fair value are recognized in the income statement.
The classification based on the business model reflects how the Bank manages financial assets and how it determines whether cash flows from the asset will come from obtaining contractual cash flows, selling the instrument, or both. If the objective is to obtain contractual cash flows, the assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost; if the objective is to obtain contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, the assets are subsequently measured at FVOCI. A financial asset shall be measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortized cost or at FVTORI.
The Bank measures equity instruments at FVTPL. Likewise, the Bank has made an irrevocable choice to present subsequent changes in the fair value of some equity instrument investments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income; dividends from such investments are recognized in the income statement when the right to receive payment is established.
Accumulated gains or losses in other comprehensive income at the time of derecognition of a financial asset are reclassified from equity to the income statement, except for investments in equity instruments for which the Bank has made the irrevocable choice to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income; for these, reclassification is made to the "retained earnings" line.
4.1.2.  Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income “FVTOCI”
4.1.2.1.   Impairment of loan portfolio and financial leasing transactions
Expected credit losses are calculated using both individual and collective models and methodologies. These are based on significant assumptions and judgments that consider historical credit data, the current situation of the borrower and reasonable and proper forecasts of future economic conditions. Collective models include parameters such as the probability of default at 12 months, probability of default throughout the lifetime of the obligation (when the loan is classified as stage 2), loss given default, and exposure at default. These models also incorporate a prospective approach that includes assumptions of future macroeconomic conditions in plausible future scenarios. In addition, for loans individually assessed in stage 3, the Bank will evaluate significant defaulted loans. This evaluation will consider the debt profile of each debtor, the fair value of guarantees granted, information on credit behavior and the expected future cash flows from the client.
F-24


At the end of each period, the Bank assesses the impairment model based on the expected loss of a financial asset or a group of them, measured at amortized cost. The impairment loss will be measured from “day 1” after its initial recognition. The model is structured in three stages in which the financial asset can be categorized, from its initial recognition. This categorization considers the degree of credit risk, and the circumstances that produce a significant increase in it, as described below:
Stage 1: Financial instruments that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since their initial recognition, or that have low credit risk at the reporting date.
Stage 2: Financial instruments that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since their initial recognition (unless they have low credit risk at the reporting date), but do not have objective evidence of impairment.
Stage 3: Financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment (“OEI”) at the reporting date.
For each of the stages, an expected credit loss (“ECL”) is calculated. This calculation takes into account both current and future conditions, the behavior of the portfolio and various associated macroeconomic conditions.
For stage 1, a 12-month ECL is calculated. This represents the expected credit losses that could occur from default events within 12 months after the reporting date.
For stage 2 and 3, a Lifetime ECL is calculated. This represents the expected credit losses that could occur from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Significant increase in risk
To determine whether an asset has experienced a significant increase in risk since its initial recognition, and is therefore classified as Stage 2, the Bank performs an assessment of both quantitative and qualitative factors and reviews. For each portfolio, the Bank reviews the rebuttable presumption of more than 30 days overdue in payment. The Bank determines whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since their initial recognition as follows:
Quantitative criteria
Clients who are more than 30 days past due.
Lifetime PD assessment: The Bank has determined that the most suitable quantitative way to establish the significant increase in credit risk is by comparing the residual lifetime PD at the initial recognition and the current lifetime PD. To measure this difference, two thresholds are defined:
Absolute threshold: This is the absolute difference between the current lifetime PD and the residual lifetime PD at initial recognition. A positive absolute variation beyond this threshold indicates an increase in the instrument’s risk.
Relative threshold: This is a percentage variation between the value of the current lifetime PD and the residual lifetime PD at initial recognition. A positive percentage variation beyond this threshold indicates an increase in the instrument’s risk.
If the PD comparison surpasses one threshold but not the other, it is not considered a significant increase in the instrument’s risk.
If the instrument does not exceed the threshold, other qualitative criteria are assessed. These can identify a significant increase in credit risk even when the obligation is nearing expiration. The criteria are as follows:
Qualitative criteria
Assets restructured due to risk, where the client is experiencing financial difficulties, are classified in stage 2, until the instrument is canceled, cured, or transferred to stage 3 because it meets the definition of default.
Customers who are no longer in default (stage 3) remain in stage 2 for a period of 12 months.
For SME and Corporate clients on the watch list with a medium risk level.
F-25


The Bank also reviews every six months to see if there are collective criteria for the migration of a group of clients to stage 2. For example, if a significant change has occurred from the commencement of a specific product or geographic region, or the occurrence of industry events, regulatory changes, market changes or any other significant event impacting the generation of future cash flow of the customer's operation.
Refutable presumption of more than 30 days of default
The Bank has reviewed for each portfolio the presumption of a significant increase in 30 days past due and finds historical evidence that there is a relationship between this presumption and default.
Definition of default
To determine whether an asset is in default, and thus classified as stage 3, the Bank conducts an assessment of both quantitative and qualitative factors. It also reviews the rebuttable presumption of more than 90 days overdue in payment for each portfolio.
The Bank applies the following criteria to ascertain if there is a breach:
Quantitative criteria
Clients with an active portfolio and who have at least one instrument written off in the modality.
Clients who are 90 or more days past due.
Qualitative criteria
Clients in special states of restructuring, business reorganization or insolvency agreements.
For SME and Corporate clients on the watchlist a high-risk level.
The Bank also aligns all products of the same client to stage 3 when at least one of its obligations is in default.
Refutable presumption of default beyond 90 days
The Bank has conducted a review of the default presumption after 90 days past due for each portfolio. Historical evidence indicates a high probability of loss at 90 days. However, this presumption has been refuted for Banistmo’s mortgage portfolio. The rationale for this refutation is the historical evidence that demonstrates the default typically occurs at 120 days.
Collective methodology for measuring expected credit losses
The collective quantification of expected credit losses is conducted based on the stage classification, the homogeneous groups defined within each portfolio type and the client’s risk level.
Homogeneous groups are segmented by client type; for individuals, they are grouped by product, and for companies, they are grouped by industry segments defined by the client’s sales level.
Likewise, the risk level is assigned by customer type. For individuals, the risk is assessed using a behavioral scoring model for consumer products and a separate scoring model for housing products. The purpose of these models is to rank customers according to risk, allowing for more effective monitoring. The rating is based on historical behavior, transactional information, and customer product information. The consumer portfolio rating system is evaluated using various advanced statistical methodologies. These models allow the inclusion of a greater number of variables related to the customer, providing a more precise rating that aligns with the risk level.
For companies, risk levels are assessed using an internal rating model that incorporates both qualitative and quantitative variables as financial indicators. Clients are ranked on a scale from 1 to 19. This process also takes into account regional qualification programs, local market factors, and the client’s market knowledge.
F-26


In Colombia, for SME and Corporate portfolio, the risk level is estimated based on models that allow assigning an internal rating to a client considering their economic sector and in accordance with multiple variables. These include: financial information, transactional data, sectoral data, qualitative variables, and behavior. These models aim to achieve greater assertiveness in classifying the risk level of the Bank's clients, greater discrimination and precision, the use of non-traditional information, and interpretability, with the goal of achieving a deep understanding of the client. These methodologies play a fundamental role in the evaluation and monitoring of credit risk.
To estimate the expected credit losses (“ECL”) under the collective methodology, the following formula is used:
ECL = Probability of Default * Loss Given Default * Exposure at Default
The factors are estimated using statistical models developed from internal historical information of the entity and then adjusted with forward-looking information as described below:
Probability of Default (“PD”): Estimated probability of occurrence of a default of an instrument. IFRS 9 proposes the specification of this parameter and its application according to the classification of stages 1, 2 and 3.
PD 12 months: The estimated probability of occurrence of a default in the next 12 months of the instrument’s life as of the date of analysis. The Bank defines the use of PD 12 months for current portfolio that does not present a significant increase in credit risk or any impairment evidence (portfolio classified in stage 1). To estimate the probability of default for 12 months, the Bank uses traditional techniques such as logistic regression, modeling the behavior of the portfolio by level of risk for each of the segments.
Lifetime PD: The estimated probability of occurrence of a default over the remaining life of an instrument, being dependent on the conditions of the product and the level of risk. The Bank defines the use of lifetime PD for portfolio with a significant increase in credit risk (portfolio classified in stage 2). The Bank estimates this factor using survival models which propose a statistical analysis to quantify the survival rate of a portfolio for a given period. One of the advantages of the methodology is the inclusion of prepaid models.
PD stage 3: The customers evaluated by the collective methodology in stage 3 have an associated probability of default of 100.00%.
Loss Given Default (“LGD”): The severity of Loss Given Default is the percentage of exposure that the entity ultimately expects to lose in the event of a default in a financial instrument. The general formulation for the calculation of the LGD is equal to (1 - Recovery Percentage), where the recovery percentage refers to the sum of the flows received from the transaction discounted at the rate for the client on the date of analysis on the total of the exposure at the time of default, including contractual debt sales and other recovery strategy. For secured products, this is primarily based on collateral type and projected collateral values, the use of appraisals to determine the value of the collateral and time to repossession and recovery costs observed.
Exposure at Default (“EAD”): The exposed value of the asset valued at amortized cost (includes the balance of capital, interest and accounts receivable), this is based on the contractual repayments owed by the borrower over a 12 month or lifetime basis.
For revolving products and those with available borrowing that is likely to be used in its entirety, the Exposure at Default (“EAD”) estimate considers the use of the CCF (credit conversion factor), in order to find a relationship corresponding to the used and unused component of the instrument. To estimate the expected credit losses (“ECL”), a component of probability of becoming loan is included.
F-27


To estimate the lifetime expected credit loss, the exposed balance is projected annually, considering the discount of contractual payments agreed with the client for each year. Cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate or an approximation of it.
Forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL models
To incorporate the prospective information to the factors defined for the estimation of the expected loss, the Bank uses methodologies that correlate the historical behavior of the portfolio with certain economic variables. The Bank uses projections based on three macro scenarios (base, pessimistic and optimistic); each scenario has a plausible probability of occurrence to evaluate the best estimate of the expected loss under possible future economic conditions.
To make the projections, the Economic Research team has defined a process for the generation of estimates under two perspectives: thematic and analytical.
Thematic Perspective: in the first instance, a series of external variables are defined, which are those whose values are established at a global level and in whose definition the idiosyncratic dynamics of the analyzed country have no incidence. As these are issues whose detailed study is beyond the scope of the Corporate Economic Research team, the Bank uses as reference the estimates made by external analysts.
Analytical Perspective: this consists in the compilation of the historical information for the most important economic and financial variables of each country. The information bases are compiled from official sources, which mostly correspond to official authorities, such as the Superintendency, the Official Statistics Department or the Central Bank of each country. The Bank estimates forecasts based on time series models widely used in econometrics.

As a result, projections are obtained for the economic variables of interest, which are formulated monthly in a time horizon that includes the current year and four subsequent years. After that period, given the technical quality constraints of the exercises and the high uncertainty, the projection of the economic variables for the total remaining useful life of each instrument corresponds to the projected value for the last period.

The Bank considers that a five year projection horizon continues to be reasonable and that maintaining the fifth-year estimate for subsequent periods is a reasonable approximation. This is based on the natural behavior of any statistical or econometric exercise of variable projection, in which the series tend towards a reversion to the mean or to the long-term trend or equilibrium level. Then, in subsequent periods they remain there once the macroeconomic projections reach that steady state and only the materialization of a shock (unpredictable, so it is not possible to project when it will happen) would cause a deviation.

It is reasonable to think that in a period of 5 years, the macroeconomic variables projection would already be at a level very close to their equilibrium, since historically the maximum periods of consecutive deviation above or below the long-term trend (more or less 0.25 standard deviations of the variable) of the economic cycle (from the series of annual economic growth in the period 1972-2024) has been precisely a period of 5 years.
Economic scenario weightings
To incorporate not only a perspective, but also to recognize the uncertainty surrounding the short and medium-term economic context that the country will experience, the projection work incorporates three scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic.

Special methodologies applied in stage 3
Collateral methodology
For defaulted loans (stage 3), when it is determined that the fundamental source of collection is a mortgage guarantee or a leased asset, the amount of the loss is estimated as the balance owed minus the weighted net present value of the market
F-29


value of the collateral, estimated through appraisals with an age no longer than one year, minus the costs of obtaining, maintaining and selling the collateral, and affected by several macroeconomic scenarios with an expected probability of occurrence that result in a weighted expected loss.
Individual methodology
The Bank will individually evaluate defaulted loans (stage 3) greater than COP 20,000 or USD 5 for foreign subsidiaries, analyzing the debt profile of each debtor, the guarantees granted and information on the credit behavior of the client and of the sector. Significant financial assets are considered in default when, based on current or past information and events, it is probable that the entity will not be able to recover all the amounts described in the original contract, including the interest and commissions agreed to in the contract. When a significant financial asset has been identified as being in default, the amount of the loss is measured as the balance due minus the weighted net present value of the expected future cash flows under two minimum macroeconomic scenarios with an expected probability of occurrence.
Customers classified as individual methodology will be evaluated at least twice a year and, additionally, each time a relevant event occurs that reflects in significant changes in their level of risk and that leads to a change in the scenarios previously analyzed. The relevant events can be:
Significant changes in the value of the guarantee,
Expected or adverse changes in the business,
Potentially shocking regulatory changes for the business,
Changes they make in their commercial and operational dynamics, and
Significant amount of payments made by the client.
To establish the future cash flows expected from the client, two approaches are presented, which may be via cash flow generation or via execution of some type of guarantee or liquidation of assets, that is, “Going Concern” or “Gone Concern” approach.
Approach via cash flow: This refers to an analysis under the premise of "Going concern", that is, it is assumed that the payment of the obligation will be made through the client's cash flow. The expected NPV calculation with a cash flow approach includes:
Financial projections of the client.
Debt simulator.
Expected NPV calculation.
Approach via guarantee recovery: This refers to the "Gone concern", that is, it is assumed that the payment of the obligation will be given through the execution of guarantees, liquidation of assets, the execution of personal guarantees and adjudication of assets through judicial processes. The calculation of the NPV with guarantee approach includes:
Analysis of the guarantee.
Future value of the guarantee.
NPV calculation.
Recovery times.
Future cash flows are estimated based on two scenarios (base and alternative) that can be affected by the aforementioned variables.
4.1.2.2. Impairment of investments measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income
At the end of each period, the Bank evaluates the impairment model based on the expected loss of a financial asset or a group of assets that are measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, where the impairment loss will be measured from "day 1" after its initial recognition.
F-30


Investments are classified in stages according to the risk level (rating), as follows:
Stage 1:
Investments rated at investment grade.
Investments rated at speculation grade, if:
The current external rating is maintained or improved against the rating granted on the date of purchase.
If there is a rating deterioration, the deterioration is lower than the number of notches that signify a significant increase in risk.
Stage 2:
Investments that pass from an investment grade rating to speculation level.
If there is a rating deterioration, the deterioration is a number of notches that signify a significant increase in risk.
Stage 3:
Investments that are classified as default.
Significant increase in risk
Investments classified in stage 2 include those instruments that meet the corporate definition of a significant increase in risk.
To establish whether a security has a significant increase in risk since the initial recognition, an assessment of the deterioration of the rating in the current date is made against the rating granted at the time of purchase; according to the origin classification there may be an increase with 1, 2 or 3 notches, as shown in the following table:
EXTERNAL RATING ORIGIN
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE
IN RISK
Ba1/BB+
3 Notches
Ba2/BB

Ba3/BB-
3 Notches
B1/B+

Measurement of expected losses:
Impairment: [Amortized Cost or Market Position (Exposure)] * PD (Probability of default) * LGD (Loss given default)
All instruments classified in stage 1 will be assigned a default probability for 12 months.
All instruments classified in stage 2 will be assigned a probability of default for the life of the instrument.
All instruments classified in stage 3 will be assigned a default probability of 100.00%.
To estimate the impairment of the instruments if the issue has an external rating, provision is made with the PD (Probability of default) of the external rating agency; if it does not have an external rating, it is determined from the internal rating model and the default probability of the portfolio.
In all cases, the LGD (Loss Given Default) is the parameter calculated by the external rating agency for the investment portfolio at the closure of December 2024 it corresponds to 66.60%.
F-31


4.1.3.      Derecognition of financial assets
4.1.3.1.   Derecognition of financial assets not resulting from modifications
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred, and the Bank has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, or when the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership but it does not retain control of the financial asset.
When the Bank retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to other entities, it shall treat the transaction as a transfer that results in derecognition if:
It has no obligation to pay any amounts to the other entities unless it collects equivalent amounts from the assets;
It is prohibited from selling or pledging the assets; and
It has an obligation to remit without material delay any cash flows it receives from the assets.
4.1.3.2.   Modifications
In modifications for commercial or market reasons, an assessment is made as to whether the modification is substantial; that is, whether the changes in the terms of the contract differ substantially from the original contract, based on the analysis of qualitative variables (inclusion of returns based on profit sharing, guarantees, other collateral, or credit enhancements that significantly affect the credit risk profile associated with the loan, changes in currency and/or obligor) and, in some cases, a quantitative assessment. When the modifications result in derecognition, the renegotiated contract is a new loan, subject to the classification and measurement requirements established by IFRS 9.
Similarly, the costs and commissions associated with the financial asset are derecognized. Modifications that do not result in derecognition are understood as non-substantial modifications, the carrying amount will be recalculated as the present value of the modified contractual cash flows discounted at the original interest rate, recognizing the effect of the modification in the margin net interest in the statement consolidated of income. Likewise, costs and commissions are adjusted and amortized over the remaining life of the modified asset.
Contractual modifications of financial assets may be carried out due to restructurings and/or renegotiations for credit risk due to the borrower's financial difficulties are evaluated as a non-substantial modification and therefore does not lead to derecognition. When a financial asset is restructured, the difference between the original contractual cash flow and the new cash flow of the restructured asset discounted at the original effective interest rate is recognized as a gain or loss in the statement consolidated of income as “Interest income on loan and financial leases”, the costs and fees are deferred and will be amortized by the remaining life of the modified asset.
F-32


4.1.3.3.        Written-Off loan portfolio
Loans are written off when the Bank concludes there is no realistic expectation of recovery of the loans and receivables balances from a client or third party, i.e., there is no possibility of recovery due to the debtor's lack of ability or willingness to pay or in the absence of open guarantees granted by the debtor. In general, this characteristic will be fulfilled when the following delinquency conditions are present:

(1)Not dependent on the length of delinquency but on the reasons underlying a loan's non-recoverability.
Among the reasons underlying a loan's non-recoverability are the estimated recovery time of the obligation, the probable recovery percentage given the existence or lack of collateral and the inability to locate the client. When default conditions are present, it is initially necessary to evaluate whether the collateral that supports the loan generates a reasonable expectation of recovery; if so, the necessary steps are taken to realize on the collateral prior to writing-off the loan. In cases where the collateral net fair value indicates that there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, loans are written-off in the consolidated financial statements.
4.2.        Financial liabilities
At initial recognition, the Bank measures its financial liabilities at fair value. The transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial liability are deducted from its fair value if the instruments are subsequently recognized at amortized cost or will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income if the liabilities are measured at fair value.
4.2.1.     Classification and Measurement of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured as follows:
Amortized cost, measured at cost using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), measured using fair value, with variations in value recognized in the income statement.
Irrevocably designated at fair value through profit or loss, measured using fair value, with variations in value recognized in the income statement. The effect of changes in own credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income.
4.2.2.     Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
The Bank derecognizes a financial liability from the consolidated statement of financial position when it is extinguished; that is, when the contractual obligation has been paid or settled or has expired.
Debt Exchange
The Bank assesses whether instruments subject to debt exchange are substantially different from each other, considering qualitative aspects such as currencies, maturities, interest rates, subordination terms, regulatory framework, among others,
F-33


and quantitative aspects, in which the present value of discounted cash flows under the conditions of the new instruments (including any net commission paid minus any commission received) using the original effective interest rate to calculate the discount differs by at least 10 percent from the present value of discounted cash flows remaining from the original financial liability.
When it is concluded that the instruments subject to debt exchange are not substantially different (based on the analysis of qualitative variables such as currency or issuance market changes, and in some cases a quantitative evaluation), the transaction is recognized as a modification of debt, and in this case, the amortized cost of the modified liability is adjusted to the present value of estimated contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument, and the gain or loss is recognized immediately in the income statement. Incremental costs and commissions adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortized over the remaining life of the modified liability, following its subsequent measurement at amortized cost. In debt exchanges that are considered substantially different, derecognition is recognized in the income statement, and a new financial liability is recognized.
4.3.   Day one profit adjustment
In situations where the fair value of a financial asset acquired or financial liability assumed at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, the Bank shall recognize a gain or loss directly in the consolidated statement of income if the fair value is supported by Level 1 inputs or is based on a valuation technique that uses only observable market data. In all other circumstances, the Bank defers the Day one gain or loss and recognizes it in the consolidated statement of income over the course of the transaction period.
4.4.   Compound instruments
The Bank recognizes compound financial instruments that contain both liability and equity components separately. Therefore, for initial measurement, the liability component is the fair value of a similar liability which doesn´t have an equity component (determined by discounting future cash flows using the market rate at the date of the issuance). The difference between the fair value of the liability component and the fair value of the compound financial instrument, considered as a whole, is the residual value assigned to the equity component. After initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. The liability component corresponds to the preferred dividend related to 1% of the subscription price, which is the payment of the minimum dividend on the preferred shares for each period. For further information, see Note 22. Share capital.
4.5.   Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments
The Bank issues financial guarantees and loan commitments. Loan commitments are those agreements under which the Bank has an irrevocable obligation to grant the loan. The financial guarantee contracts issued by the Bank are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due to accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Both financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments are initially recognized as liabilities at fair value, which is normally the fee received, adjusted for the directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, liabilities are measured at the higher of the provision amount measured according to IFRS 9, and the amount initially recognized, less the accumulated amortization recognized according to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
Income derived from guarantees is recognized as “commission income” in the consolidated statement of income over the term of the contract, in accordance with the method and frequency of commission’s payments.
4.6.   Derivatives financial instruments
A financial derivative is an instrument whose value changes in response to changes in a variable or index, such as an interest rate, exchange rate, the price of a financial instrument, a credit rating or a credit index. This instrument requires no
F-34


initial payment or is lower in comparison to other financial instruments with a similar response to changes in market conditions and is generally settled at a future date.
The Bank recognizes its derivative financial instruments at fair value, based on the prices and valuation methodologies provided by the official pricing service provider (Precia); this includes counterparty credit-risk adjustments applied to derivatives when the Bank's position is a derivative asset, and the Bank's credit risk when the position is a liability on a derivative. For further information, see Note 30. Fair value of assets and liabilities, section d. Credit valuation adjustment.

Derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless such derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. In those cases, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in other comprehensive income. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives, which are not in hedging relationships, are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the "valuation on financial instruments" item, and gains and losses from the valuation of foreign exchange derivatives are included in the "Other Operating Income" item.
4.7.   Hedge accounting
The Bank designates and documents hedge accounting at inception in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. When the hedging relationship is considered to be highly effective, the changes in value of the hedging derivative are accounted for according to their classification, as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of net investment in foreign operations, as set out in the paragraph below.
The Bank assesses at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis during the life of the instrument, whether the hedge used in the transaction is expected to be aligned with the hedge effectiveness requirement (prospective effectiveness):
Economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.
The effect of credit risk does not predominate over the value of the economic relationship.
Designated hedge ratio is consistent with risk management strategy.
The Bank discontinues the hedge accounting when the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria provided for hedge effectiveness or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. Consequently, the item no longer complies with the hedge accounting conditions or the hedging relationship no longer complies with the risk management objective.
Before the establishment of hedge accounting, the Bank documents the relationship between hedged items and hedging instruments, as well as its risk management objectives and hedging strategies, which are approved by the Asset and Liability Management Committee.

Hedge relationships are classified and accounted for in the following ways:
Fair value hedges
Fair value hedges are designated to protect against the exposure to changes in the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or unrecognized firm commitments.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments in fair value hedges are recorded in the same line item of the consolidated statement of income as hedged item. The change in fair value of the hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item, and it is also recognized in the same line item of the consolidated statement of income as the hedge item.

F-35


For fair value hedges of items carried at amortized cost, adjustments to the carrying value are amortized to the consolidated statement of income over the remaining life of the hedge item until maturity. Amortization is based on a recalculated effective interest rate at the beginning of the amortization period, which begins when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. The adjustment shall be amortized fully by maturity of the financial instrument or, in the case of a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk, by expiry of the relevant repricing period.

If the hedged item is derecognized, the non-amortized fair value is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.
When an unrecognized firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability with corresponding gain or loss recognized in net income.
Cash flow hedges
Cash flows hedges are used mainly to manage the exposure to variability related to the cash flow attributable to a specific risk associated with an asset or liability recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position or to a highly probable forecast transaction.
The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as interest and valuation on financial instruments.

If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, without replacement or rollover into another hedging instrument, or if the hedging designation no longer meets the criteria provided for the hedge effectiveness requirements after any subsequent rebalancing adjustment, any accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in OCI remains in OCI, until the planned operation or the firm commitment affects the result.
When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in net income.
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation
In accordance with IFRS 9 and IFRIC 16 Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the Bank has decided to apply the hedge accounting of the foreign currency risk arising from currency translation of consolidated financial statements and goodwill of its net investment in Banistmo, designating as a hedging instrument of certain debt securities issued by the Parent Company and financial liabilities. The hedge accounting requires that the Bank accounts for the gain or loss derived from the foreign exchange differences related to the debt securities that are determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income, as is the currency translation adjustment of the Banistmo operation into the presentation currency as required by IAS 21 Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates as detailed in 1. Functional currency, transactions and balances in foreign currency. When a foreign operation is sold or an outstanding security that forms part of the net investment is paid, the related exchange differences are reclassified to the consolidated statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

5.      Investments in associates and joint arrangements
5.1.   Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Bank has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control to make those policies decisions.
F-36


A joint venture is an entity that the Bank controls jointly with other participants, where the parties maintain a contractual agreement that establishes joint control over the relevant activities of the entity (which only exists when decisions about those activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control) and the parties have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement.
The Bank's investments in associates and joint ventures are initially recorded at cost and their results, assets and liabilities are subsequently included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
When an investment in an associate or joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust or similar entities, and such investment is measured at fair value through profit or loss in that entity, the Bank may elect to measure investments in those associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. This election is applied on an investment-by-investment basis.
At the acquisition date, the excess of the acquisition cost of the associate or joint venture shares exceeding the Bank's share of the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognized as goodwill and is included in the carrying amount of the investment and it is not amortized. Any excess of the Bank's share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included as income in the determination of the Bank's share of the associate or joint venture’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in accordance with the policy for impairment of assets, cash-generating units and goodwill (see section 12. Impairment of assets, cash-generating units and goodwill, of this note).
If the Bank's share of losses of an associate or joint venture exceeds the Bank's interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Bank's net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Bank discontinues recognition its share of further losses. Additional, losses are recognized only to the extent that the Bank has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
When the equity method is applicable, adjustments are considered in order to adopt uniform accounting policies of the associate or joint venture with the Bank. The portion that corresponds to the Bank for changes in the investee´s other comprehensive income items is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as “Unrealized gain/loss on investments in associates and joint ventures using equity method” and gains or losses of the associate or joint venture are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as “Dividends and net income on equity investments”, in accordance with the Bank's participation. Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Bank and its associate or joint venture are recognized in the Bank's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the unrelated investor´s interest in the associate or joint venture. The equity method is applied from the acquisition date until the significant influence or joint control over the entity is lost. When the significant influence on the associate or the joint venture is lost, the Bank measures and recognizes any residual investment that remains at its fair value. The difference between the associate or joint venture carrying value (taking into account the relevant items of other comprehensive income), the fair value of the retained residual investment and any proceeds from disposing of a partial interest in the associate or joint venture, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The currency translation adjustments recognized in equity are reclassified to net income at the moment of disposal.
The unrealized gain or loss of an associate or joint venture is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, net of tax. Changes in the investment´s participation that arise from changes in other comprehensive income of an associate or joint venture are recognized directly in the investor’s statement of comprehensive income.
The dividends received from the associate or joint venture reduce the investment carrying value.
For further information, please see Note 8. Investments in associates and joint ventures.
F-37


5.2.  Joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
The Bank recognizes and measures assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in relation to its interest in joint operations in accordance with the applicable IFRS for the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
When the Bank acquires an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in IFRS 3, or when an existing business is contributed to the joint operation on its formation by one of the parties that participate in the joint operation, the Bank will apply all of the principles of IFRS 3. In this case, the Bank recognizes goodwill in the event that consideration transferred exceeds the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
When the Bank transacts with a joint operation in which the Parent Company or its subsidiaries is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Bank is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognized in the Bank's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties’ interests in the joint operation.
6.     Leases
6.1.  The Bank as lessee
The Bank assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract and recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Bank elected to apply the recognition exemptions for short-term leases (leases of 12 months or less and without a purchase option) and leases where the underlying asset is of low value. Lease payments related to these exemptions will be recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Both the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid at that date. Lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. In addition, the right-of-use asset includes: 1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, 2) lease payments or costs incurred by the lessee made before or after the commencement date, less lease incentives received, and 3) an estimate of the costs to be incurred to dismantle the underlying asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the lease.
Subsequently, the Bank measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The Bank measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made, and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any new expectation or lease modifications. Each lease payment has been allocated between the liability and interest expenses. The accrued interest on the lease liability for each period over the lease term will be the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest (incremental borrowing rate) on the remaining balance of the liability.
6.2.  The Bank as lessor
The lease agreements entered into by the Bank are classified at the initial recognition as financial or operating leases.
A lease is classified as a finance lease when substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset are transferred to the lessee and are recognized at a value equal to the net investment in the lease, corresponding to the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable and any unguaranteed residual value, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. Otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease, recognizing and measuring the assets under the principles of property and equipment or investment property, in which case income and depreciation of property and equipment are recognized on
F-38


a straight-line basis over the life of the asset. Contingent lease payments are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are received.
If during the lease term, the lessor and the lessee decide to modify the initial conditions, and the agreed changes result in a different classification, then the modified agreement will be considered a new lease with new clauses that will lead to the classification of a financial or operating lease, as appropriate.
The Bank uses the following indicia of transfer of risk and rewards incidental to ownership to the asset; if one of them is met, lease is classified as a finance lease:
The agreement indicates that the lessee has the option to purchase the asset at a price that is expected to be equal to or less than 10% of the fair value of the asset, upon termination of the lease.
The term of the lease covers most of the economic life of the asset, even when the lease does not transfer the ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term, i.e., when the minimum lease term represents 75% or more of the economic life of the leased asset.
At the inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least 90% of the fair value of the leased asset.
The leased assets are of such a specialized nature that only the lessee has the possibility of using them without making significant modifications.
7.     Premises and equipment and depreciation
Premises and equipment include tangible items that are held for use, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used for more than one period.
Items of premises and equipment are expressed at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, in order to derecognize the depreciable amount of premises and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value. The estimated useful lives for each asset group are:
Asset group
Useful life range
Buildings
10 to 75 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 to 20 years
Computer equipment
3 to 20 years
Equipment and machinery
2 to 40 years
Vehicles
3 to 10 years
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. When there is a significant change, the depreciation and the charge to the consolidated statement of income are adjusted based on the new estimation.
The Bank assesses at the end of each year whether there is any indication of external or internal reduction in the asset’s recoverable value. If there is any indication of impairment, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the assets and then recognizes the impairment loss in the consolidated statement of income. For further information, see section 12. Impairment of non-financial assets, cash-generating units and goodwill in this note.
Maintenance expenses of the premises and equipment are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and are registered in the consolidated statement of income as “Other administrative and general expenses”.
Gains and losses in sales of premises and equipment are registered in the consolidated statement of income as “Other operating income”.
F-39


8.     Investment properties
The investment properties are measured initially at cost, including the transaction costs. The carrying value includes the cost of replacement or substitution of a part of an investment property at the time the cost is incurred, if the cost meets the recognition criteria; and it excludes the daily maintenance costs of the investment property which are included in the consolidated statement of income as “Other administrative and general expenses”.
After the initial recognition, the investment properties are measured at fair value which reflects the market conditions at the consolidated statement of financial position date and are valued by Management with the support of external experts using valuation techniques based on comparable prices, direct capitalization, discounted cash flows and replacement cost. The gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the consolidated statement of income as “Other operating income”.
Transfers of an asset to or from the investment properties are only made when there is a change in its use. For a transfer from an investment property to premises and equipment, the cost taken into account for its subsequent accounting is the fair value at the time of the change in use. If a premise and equipment becomes an investment property, it will be accounted for at its fair value.
9.     Intangible assets
Intangible assets are identifiable, non-monetary assets without physical appearance, separately acquired or internally generated by the Bank that are measured initially at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives (ranging from 1 to 10 years) are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and assessed at the end of the period for impairment. The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at least annually. The expected changes in the useful life or in the pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of the asset are recognized when the amortization period or method has changed, as appropriate, and they are treated as changes in the accounting estimates. The amortization expense of intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
The Bank's intangible assets comprise mainly intangibles of finite useful life, such as licenses, software and computer applications, customer relationships and trademarks (See Note 9. Goodwill and intangible assets, net). Intangibles of indefinite useful life include Goodwill.
When intangible assets with finite useful life are written-off, the expected future economic benefits period is reduced to increase the amount of amortization, resulting in the derecognition of the intangible asset in a shorter period than initially estimated.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization but are periodically tested to identify any impairment, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of the indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine if it continues being supportable. In the event that the assessment was not valid, the change from indefinite useful life to finite useful life is recognized prospectively. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life correspond to goodwill.
9.1. Internally generated intangible assets
The costs of internally generated intangible assets are recognized as intangible assets if they have been incurred in the development stage and meet the recognition criteria; if so, such assets are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses (see section 12. Impairment of non-financial assets, cash-generating units and goodwill in this note). Other expenditures are recorded as expenses in the consolidated statement of income.
F-40


Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and assessed at the end of the period for impairment.
10.  Inventories
The Bank recognizes as inventory the assets or returned property from finance or operating lease and real estate acquired or held in construction for sale in the ordinary course of business.

Assets or returned property from finance or operating lease

Inventories of assets or returned property are those assets arising from an early termination of a finance or operating lease or those on which the lease has been terminated, and they are expected to be sold in the normal course of business, which are controlled by the Bank and are expected to obtain future economic benefit.
The inventory of returned property is recognized as an asset from the date on which the Bank assumes the risks and benefits thereof. Assets arising from operating leases are initially measured at cost, which is the carrying amount less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Assets returned property financial leasing operations are recognized at the lower of their book value plus sanitation costs and its net realizable value. When the book value is greater than the net realizable value, an adjustment is recognized under the caption "Provision for impairment of loan portfolio and financial leasing operations, net" in the consolidated income statement.
Real estate acquired or in construction for sale

Real estate acquired or in construction for sale in the ordinary course of the Bank’s business mainly include:
Real estate units in construction: Refers to investments made in real estate construction projects (residential, commercial, etc.) that are in the development phase.
Real estate units in inventory: Corresponds to real estate units available for sale.

The cost of real estate acquired or in construction for sale includes all expenses incurred in their acquisition and transformation, as well as other expenses necessary to complete them. Once the construction phase is completed, any subsequent costs will be recognized as an expense in the income statement for the period.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value ("NRV") is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories is assigned by using specific identification of their individual costs.
The Bank revises the NRV of its inventories at least annually, or when market conditions so require; the adjustment of the decrease in value is recognized directly in income. Adjustments to the NRV are recognized under the caption "Amortization, depreciation and impairment" in the consolidated statement of income, up to the value initially recognized.
10.1.   Digital assets
The Bank chooses as an accounting policy to recognize digital assets held to be sold in the normal course of its operations as inventories. Digital assets are measured at fair value less costs of sale. If there is no active market, the fair value of the digital asset will be zero given the low probability of its realization.
Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the period in which such changes occur.
The exchange differences of the digital asset in foreign currency are recognized within the valuation process inherent to the fair value model.
F-41


11.  Digital assets and liabilities held in custody for customers
The Bank safeguards crypto assets for customers in digital wallets and cryptographic keys are required to access digital assets on the Bank's platform. The Bank safeguards these assets and/or keys and is required to protect them from loss, theft, or other misuse.
The Bank recognizes customer's digital assets initially and subsequently at fair value. At the same time, the Bank recognizes the obligation to safeguard the customer's digital asset as a liability. The liability should be measured at the same amount as the corresponding asset at fair value.
Any loss, theft or other misuse that impacts the measurement of customer cryptoassets is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it occurs.
The Bank does not monetize unsupported assets or assets transferred through unsupported networks that are realized on the platform. The unsupported crypto assets or crypto assets received through unsupported networks are not material to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

12.  Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
The Bank classifies non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale if their carrying value will be recovered through a sale transaction, rather than through continuing use. These assets are measured at the lower of their carrying value and their fair value less costs to sell and they are not depreciated nor amortized from the date of their classification. Additionally, if any indications of impairment exist, impairment losses are recognized for the difference between the carrying and the fair value less costs to sell as “Impairment, depreciation and amortization” in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses in the sale of assets held for sale are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as “Other operating income” or “Other administrative and general expenses”.
The held for sale condition is met if the assets or groups of assets are available, in their current condition, for immediate sale or the sale transaction is highly probable and is expected to be completed within the year following the date of classification. In the Bank, the assets held under this classification correspond to foreclosed assets. If the sale of the asset does not take place within the planned period, the assets are reclassified to "Other assets, net" in the consolidated statement of financial position.
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and represents a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated and individual plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of a discontinued operation are presented separately from those of continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income on a comparative basis.
13.  Impairment of non-financial assets and cash-generating units and goodwill
The Bank evaluates at the end of each period whether there is any indication that on a stand-alone basis non-financial assets and cash-generating units are impaired. If some indication of impairment does exist, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the assets and the loss by impairment, the impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Regardless of whether impairment indicators exist, impairment of goodwill is assessed annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of non-financial assets or cash-generating units is defined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Fair value is determined by Management with reference to market value (if available), through pricing models, or with the assistance of a valuation specialist. Meanwhile, value in use requires Management to develop
F-42


significant assumptions and estimates to forecast cash flow for periods that extend beyond the normal requirements of management reports, assessing the appropriate discount rate and growth rate.

If an asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the rest of the assets or group of assets, the recoverable amount is determined by the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The amount of impairment losses recognized in net income during the period are included in the consolidated statement of income as “Impairment, depreciation and amortization”. Except for impairment loss recognized for goodwill, impairment losses are subject to reversal, the increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
14.  Other assets
The Bank presents as other assets, among other things, (a) the expenses paid in advance incurred in the development of its business, in order to receive future services, which are amortized during the period in which services are received or the costs or expenses are recorded and (b) foreclosed assets that do not comply with the requirements to be recognized as assets held for sale and where there are no plans to use them in the supply of services or for administrative purposes.
Foreclosed assets are initially recognized at the lower of net amount of the charged-off financial assets to which the foreclosed assets relate and net realizable value of the foreclosed asset (the net realizable value will be the estimated selling price of the asset or its awarding value, less the estimated costs necessary to carry out its sale), pending obtaining a plan for its commercialization. If net amount of the charged-off financial assets is greater than net realizable value of the foreclosed asset, an adjustment for impairment of credit risk of the financial asset is recorded in the results for the period.
There is evidence of impairment when these group of assets remain in the consolidated statement of financial position for a period of time exceeding one year from the reception date, without buyer having been found, despite the Bank's ongoing efforts to sell them (even adjusting the selling price).
Foreclosed assets are subsequently assessed to determine whether an impairment lost must be recognized. In the case of events that arise that are beyond the control of the Bank and that make remote the realization of these assets, they are identified as "non-tradable”, and a complete impairment is carried out.
15.  Derecognition of non-financial assets
The Bank non-financial assets are derecognized either on disposal or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected. The difference between the value obtained on disposal and the carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
16.   Employee benefits
16.1. Short term benefits
The Bank grants to its employees short-term benefits such as bonuses based on added value to clients and the Bank's results, salaries, accrued performance costs and social security that are expected to be wholly settled within 12 months. Expenses related to these benefits are recognized over the period in which the employees provide the services to which the payments relate. For further information, see Note 19. Employee benefit plans.
16.2. Other long-term employee benefits
The Bank grants to its employees seniority bonuses as long-term employee benefits whose payment is not expected within the 12 months following the end of the annual period in which the employees have rendered their services. The cost of long-term employee benefits is allocated across the period from the time the employee was hired by the Bank and the
F-43


expected date of obtaining the benefit. These benefits are projected up to the date of payment and are discounted through the projected unit credit method.
16.3. Pensions and other post-employment benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Bank makes monthly contributions to pension funds, due to legal requirements and it has no legal obligation to pay further contributions.
The Bank recognizes contributions in the consolidated statement of income once the contribution is accrued. Any contributions unpaid at the consolidated statement of financial position date are included as a liability.
Defined benefit plans
These are post-employment benefit plans in which the Bank has the legal or constructive obligation to take responsibility for the payments of benefits that have been agreed, for example, severance pay, pension recognition bonuses, and pensions for retirees who fall under the Bank’s responsibility, as well as any other defined benefit plans agreed upon with former employees. The Bank makes an actuarial valuation based on the projected unit credit method and a risk-free rate which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money in each country (interest rate of treasury bonds [“TES”], representative of the nation's public debt), related to the characteristics and the benefit flows weighted average, to discount such obligation.

17.  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the obligation's value can be made.
The corresponding expense for any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income, net of all expected reimbursement. The increase in the provision due to the time value of money is recognized as a financial expense.
The amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position, correspond mainly to:
I.            Judicial proceedings
Judicial provisions refer to pending legal proceedings on employment matters, ordinary lawsuits, class actions suit, civil actions within criminal prosecutions and executive proceedings against the Bank.
II.            Onerous contracts
For the Bank, an onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceeds the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
III.            Loan commitments
In order to meet the needs of its customers, the Bank issues loan commitments, letters of credit and bank guarantees. Loan commitments are those approved irrevocable loans, in which, despite having acquired a commitment to grant them, due to the contract or agreement or for any other reason they are still pending disbursement.
F-44


IV.            Financial guarantees
The Bank issues bank guarantees on behalf of its customers. A bank guarantee represents an irrevocable commitment pursuant to which the Bank will cover, up to the maximum amount guaranteed, a breach of the client's contractual obligations to third parties for a certain period of time. These are commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are mainly issued to guarantee agreements established between parties from the energy sector, hydrocarbons sector, private sector and public procurement contracts. The Bank expects most of those guarantees provided to expire before they are used.
The events or circumstances that would require the Bank to perform under a guarantee are determined by the type of guarantee, as outlined below:
Guarantees for the energy sector
The Bank is responsible before the guarantee’s beneficiary in the following situations:
Lack of energy supply due to low availability from the generating company (the guaranteed entity).
Noncompliance with the contract signed by the guaranteed entity.
Noncompliance with the payment for energy supply.
Noncompliance with the construction and operating of power plants.
Noncompliance with the construction and operating of transmission lines.
Guarantees for the hydrocarbons sector
The Bank is responsible before the guarantee’s beneficiary in the following situations:
Noncompliance with the contractual obligations in the Minimum Exploration Program.
Noncompliance with the contractual obligations in the Additional Exploratory Program.
Noncompliance with the contractual obligations in the Post Exploratory Program.
Noncompliance with the Technical Evaluation obligations.
Guarantees for public procurement
The Bank must pay a state entity up to the amount guaranteed for the breach by the contractor of the contractual or legal obligations agreed.
Commitment issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer from the private sector
The Bank must pay the third party if there is any breach of what has been agreed upon or due to the economic insolvency of the client.
Contingent liabilities
Possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Bank, or present obligations that arise from past events but are not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations or the amount of the obligations cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position, but instead are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, in which case no disclosure is required.
F-45


Contingent assets
Possible assets that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Bank, are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position; instead, these are disclosed as contingent assets where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.
18.  Revenue recognition
The Bank recognizes revenue from ordinary activities, which represent the transfer of goods or services committed with customers in exchange for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled. For performance obligations where none of the conditions for revenue recognition over time are met, the Bank satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time, at which the customer obtains control of the promised services.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes amounts received on behalf of third parties when the Bank is an agent. The Bank recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer. Revenue is presented net of reimbursements and discounts and after eliminating inter-group sales. The Bank evaluates its revenue categories based on specific criteria to determine whether it acts as principal or agent. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Bank and it is possible to reliably measure the related revenues and costs.
When the Bank fulfills a performance obligation through the delivery of promised goods or services to customer, it creates a contractual asset for the consideration amount obtained with the performance. The Bank recognizes the contractual assets as current assets, as they are expected to be realized within the normal operating cycle.
The costs of contracts eligible for capitalization as incremental costs when obtaining a contract are recognized as a contractual asset. Contractual costs are capitalized when incurred if the Bank expects to recover those costs. Contractual costs constitute non-current assets to the extent that the Bank expects to receive the economic benefits of those assets in a period greater than twelve months. The contractual costs are amortized systematically and consistently with the transfer of the services to the customer once the corresponding revenue has been recognized. The capitalized contractual costs are impaired if the customer withdraws or if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the projection of the discounted cash flows that are related to the contract.
Interest income comprises income of financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method, the computation takes into account all the contractual conditions of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) and includes incremental fees and commissions (for example, certain loan commitment fees) or expenses that are directly attributed to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, without taking account future credit losses.
Valuation income relates to debt securities at fair value, where gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the consolidated statement of income as “Interest and valuation on financial instruments”.
Fees and services commissions are recognized as the right to consideration is obtained through the exchange of goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer. Therefore, the Bank recognizes some fees as revenue over time, such as income from commissions and asset management, custody and other administration and advisory commissions. While other fees are recognized as revenue at a point in time of completion of the underlying transaction, like commissions arising from the negotiation or participation in the negotiation of a transaction for a third party, such as the acquisition of shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses. In addition, the Bank maintains a credit card loyalty program to provide incentives to its customers. The program allows customers to purchase goods and services, based on the exchange of awards points, which are awarded based on purchases using the Bank's credit cards and the fulfillment of certain conditions established in such program. The redemption of points for prizes is carried out by a third party. Therefore, the expenses of the Bank's commitments with its clients arising from this program are recognized as a lower
F-46


value of the fees and commission income, considering the total number of points that can be redeemed over the accumulated prizes and the probability of redemptions.
Dividend revenue of investments that are not associates or joint ventures are recognized when the right to payment of the Bank is established, which is generally when the shareholders declare the dividend. These are included in the consolidated statement of income as “Dividends and net income on equity investments”.
19.   Income tax
Income tax includes current tax and deferred tax. The current tax is the income tax payable with respect to the profit for the fiscal year, which arises in profit or other comprehensive income. A provision is made for current tax considering the tax bases and tax rates enacted in each of the jurisdictions where the Bank is located, at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Bank recognizes, when appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities by estimating the future tax effects attributable to differences between book values of assets, liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rate that, in accordance with the valid tax laws in each country where the Bank has operations, must be applied in the year in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The future effects of changes in tax laws or tax rates are recognized in the deferred taxes as from the date of publication of the law providing for such changes.
Tax bases for deferred tax must be calculated by factoring in the definition of IAS 12 Income tax and the value of the assets and liabilities that will be realized or settled in the future according to the valid tax laws of each of the countries where the Bank has operations.
Deferred tax liabilities due to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary and associated entities or shares in joint ventures, are recognized, except when the Bank is able to control the period in which the deductible temporary difference is reverted, and it is likely that the temporary difference will not be reverted in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets, identified with temporary differences, are only recognized if it is considered likely that the Bank will have sufficient taxable income in the future that allows it to be recovered based on the stand-alone entity expected cash flow forecast for the next three years.
Tax credit from fiscal losses and surplus amounts from the presumptive income on the net income are recognized as a deferred asset, provided that it is likely that the Bank will generate future net income to allow their offset.
The deferred tax is recorded as debit or credit according to the result of each of the companies that form the Bank, and for the purpose of disclosure on the consolidated statement of financial position it is disclosed as net.
The deferred income tax expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the heading “Income tax”, except when referring to amounts directly recognized in OCI (Other Comprehensive Income).
Regulatory changes in tax laws and in tax rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the heading “Income Tax” in the period when such rule becomes enforceable. Interest and fines are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the other administrative and general expenses or in the caption "Income tax" of the consolidated income statement, when applicable.
The Bank periodically assesses the tax positions adopted in tax returns, and, according to the results of the tax audits conducted by the tax authorities, determines possible tax outcomes provided it has a present obligation and it is more likely than not that the Bank will have to dispose of the economic resources to cancel the obligation, and the Bank can make an accurate estimate of the amount of the obligation.
F-47


For further information about deferred tax considerations derived from the last Colombian tax reform (Law 2277 of 2022), see Note 13. Income tax.
Transfer pricing policy
The Bank has as a general policy that each of its companies be responsible for their income, costs and expenses independently. The policy takes into account the regulation for the Parent Company provided for in the Organic Statute of the Financial System (article 119, numeral 4) which in relation to the autonomy of the subsidiaries states that: The activity of the subsidiaries of entities subject to the control and supervision of the SFC must be carried out in conditions of independence and administrative autonomy, so that they have sufficient decision-making capacity to carry out the operations that constitute their object.
The Bank recognizes arm’s length operations with foreign economic links. These operations are documented and reported to the tax Administration according to the last evaluation date corresponding to the previous year.
E.   Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires Bank's Management to make 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. Revisions to 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.
Judgments or changes in assumptions are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates if assumptions and conditions change.
The significant accounting estimates that the Bank uses in preparing its consolidated financial statements are detailed below:
1.     Credit risk impairment
As disclosed by Management and described in section D. Material Accounting Policies, paragraph 4.1.2. Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income ‘FVTOCI’, expected credit losses are calculated using individual and collective models and methodologies based on significant assumptions and judgment considering historical credit data, current borrower situation and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Collective models include parameters of probability of default at 12 months, probability of default throughout the lifetime of the obligation, loss given default, and exposure at default with the inclusion of the prospective approach that include assumptions of future macroeconomic conditions in plausible future scenarios. In addition, for loans individually assessed in stage 3, the Bank will evaluate defaulted significant loans, analyzing the debt profile of each debtor, the fair value of guarantees granted, information on credit behavior and the future cash flows expected from the client.
The estimation of impairment charges is a critical accounting policy because of the significance of this line item, the sensitivity of the charges to changes in assumptions about future events (behavior of the expected macroeconomic variables), weighting of macroeconomic scenarios and other somewhat subjective judgments that are incorporated in the individual credit loss models.
Some relevant assumptions must be made to operate the mathematical models behind the expected credit loss assessment. Assumptions are constructed from historical data to consider whether a customer has a significant increase in risk or is in default; these are reviewed by expert panels. Other assumptions such as future economic conditions, the simulation of reasonable future economic scenarios and the likelihood of those scenarios have a high impact on lifetime default probability models. These scenarios are determined and leveraged by the Direction of Economic Research.
F-48


The main factors considered in collective estimations of credit losses are the definition of significant increase in credit risk, definition of default, collateral values, loan maturity and macroeconomic forecast of variables such as unemployment, GDP, interest rates, among others. It is also important to consider any other variable that could influence a client´s willingness to pay.
In addition, individual credit loss models consider assumptions on how the financial performance and future cash flow of a client could be affected, the client’s expected future operational and commercial activity, the capacity to generate sufficient cash to pay debt obligations and trends and regulatory changes in the economic sector in which the client operates, changes in the collateral value, weighting of the scenarios used, as well as other internal or external factors. For further information, see Note 6. Loans and advances to customers, net and Risk management.
Given the inherent uncertainties and the high level of subjectivity involved in the assessment of three following factors, it is possible that the outcomes in the next financial year could differ from the expectations on which Management’s estimates are based:
Exposure at default: The exposed balance of assets to the current capital balance, interest, and receivable accounts. In the case of products whose nature is revolving and that have an available borrowing that is susceptible to be used in its entirety according to loan contracts subscribed with clients, this parameter includes an estimation of the use of those products after the client’s default.
Probability of default (“PD”): This is the probability that the debtor fails to fulfill their obligations of capital and/or interest payment over a period of 12 months. This is linked to the rating/scoring of each debtor/operation.
Loss given default (“LGD”): This is defined as the economic impairment that the entity would incur in the event of any instance of default. This depends mainly upon the characteristics of the debtor and upon the valuation of guarantees or collateral associated with the operation.
Impairment loss models and methodologies, and the related assumptions, are assessed by the Bank Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) on a regular basis, using robust validation procedures in order to assure a reasonable coverage of effective losses. This process enables Management to periodically determine whether assumptions and models used to measure credit risk impairment should be adjusted to achieve more precise estimations. Internal controls, data governance standards and approval processes, have been implemented by the Bank to make estimations more accurate.
2.     Impairment testing of cash generating units (“CGU”), including goodwill
The Bank tests goodwill recognized upon business combinations for impairment at least annually. The impairment test for goodwill involves estimates and significant judgments, including the identification of cash generating units and the allocation of goodwill based on the expectations of which operating segments of the Bank will benefit from the acquisition. The fair value of the acquired companies is sensitive to changes in the valuation models’ assumptions. Adverse changes in any of the factors underlying these assumptions could lead the Bank to record a goodwill impairment charge. Management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are reasonable and supportable in the existing market environment and commensurate with the risk profile of the assets valued. See Note 12. Goodwill and intangible assets, net, for further information related to carrying amount, valuation methodologies, key assumptions, sensitivities and the allocation of goodwill.
3.     Recognition of digital assets
Currently, there is no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks to account for the recognition of digital assets held by the Bank, as well as the custody of digital assets held for customers, so management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment.
The Bank has considered that it acts in the quality of a commodity trader, as defined in IAS 2, Inventories, by characterizing certain of its holdings as inventories, or more specifically, digital assets. The business model for digital assets will be to sell them in the near future and generate a profit from fluctuations in price or dealer margin. So,
F-49


inventories held by commodity broker-dealers are measured at fair value less costs to sale. When such inventories are measured on that basis, changes in value are recognized in profit or loss in the period.
With respect to the custody of digital assets held by customers, the Bank recognizes a liability for the obligation to safeguard user's assets and recognizes an associated asset for the cryptographic assets safeguarded. Both the liability and the asset must be measured initially and subsequently at the fair value of the crypto assets being safeguarded.
In the event that the IASB issues final guidance, the Bank may be required to modify its accounting policies, which could have a significant effect on the Bank´s consolidated financial statements.
4.      Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded on deductible or levied temporary differences originating between tax and accounting bases, taking into account the tax rules applicable in each country where the Bank has operations. Due to the changing conditions of the political, social and economic environment, the constant amendments to tax legislation and the permanent changes in the tax principles and changes in interpretations by tax authorities determining the tax bases for the deferred tax items involves difficult judgments including estimates of future gains, offsets or tax deductions. Accordingly, the determination of the deferred tax is considered a critical accounting policy.
For more information relating to the nature of deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized by the Bank, please see Note 13. Income tax.
5.     Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Bank is subject to contingent liabilities, including those arising from judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, tax and other claims arising from the conduct of the Bank's business activities. These contingencies are evaluated based on Management’s best estimates and provisions are established for legal and other claims by assessing the likelihood of the loss actually occurring as probable, possible or remote. Contingences are provisioned and recorded when all the information available indicates that it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation before the consolidated statement of financial position date and the amounts may be reasonably estimated. The Bank engages internal and external experts in assessing probability and in estimating timing, nature and amount of outflows that may result from past events.
Provisions are determined by Management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, which estimate is discounted using a risk-free rate which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money in each country, which for Colombia is the interest rate on treasury bonds “TES”.
Throughout the life of a contingency, the Bank may learn of additional information that can affect assessments regarding probability or the estimates of amounts involved; changes in these assessments can lead to changes in recorded provisions.
The Bank considers the estimates used to determine the provisions for contingent liabilities critical estimates because the probability of their occurrence and the amounts that the Bank may be required to pay are based on the Bank judgment and those of its internal and external experts, which will not necessarily coincide with the future outcome of the proceedings. For further information regarding legal proceedings and contingencies and their carrying amounts, see Note 21. Provisions and contingent liabilities.
6.      Fair value of assets and liabilities
The fair value of the Bank's assets and liabilities is determined at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The Bank's fair value measurement process considers the characteristics of the asset or liability in the same way that market participants would take them into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date; the estimate takes into account inputs from valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
F-50


To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the Bank specifies different levels of inputs that may be used to measure the fair value of financial instruments, as follows:
Level 1: Assets and liabilities are classified as Level 1 if there are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Instruments are valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the quoted price is readily available, and the price represents actual and regularly occurring market transactions.
Level 2: Assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 if in the absence of a market price for a specific financial instrument, its fair value is estimated using models whose input data are observable for recent transactions of identical or similar instruments.
Level 3: Assets and liabilities are classified as level 3 if unobservable input data were used in the measurement of fair value that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of these assets or liabilities. The fair value of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.
Transfers into or out of Level 3 are made if the significant inputs used in the financial models measuring the fair values of the assets and liabilities became unobservable or observable, respectively, in the current marketplace. All transfers between the aforementioned levels are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of the fair value of financial instruments generally involves a higher degree of complexity and requires the application of judgments especially when the models use unobservable inputs (level 3) based on the assumptions that would be used in the market to determine the price for assets or liabilities. Determination of these assumptions includes consideration of market conditions and liquidity levels. Changes in the market conditions, such as reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities, may reduce the availability and reliability of quoted prices or observable data used to determine fair value.
When developing fair value measurements, the Bank maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. Additionally, the Bank uses third-party pricing services to obtain fair values, which are used to either record the price of an instrument or to corroborate internally developed prices. Third-party price validation procedures are performed over the reasonableness of the fair value measurements. For further details regarding carrying amount and sensitivity disclosures, please see Note 30. Fair value of assets and liabilities.
7.     Measurement of employee benefits
The measurement of post-employment benefit obligations and long-term employee benefits takes into account a range of inputs and it is dependent upon a series of assumptions of future events. The projected unit credit method is used to determine the present value of the obligation for the defined benefits and its associated cost. Future measurements of obligations may differ to those presented in the consolidated financial statements, among others, due to changes in economic and demographic assumptions and significant events. The actuarial valuation methodology of the post-employment and long-term benefit plans include typified discount rates by each benefit plan, with the objective of presenting more relevant information on the value of these plans in the consolidated financial statements. For further information, see Note 19. Employee benefit plans.
8.     Transaction price determination
With respect to contracts with the Bank's customers, for the determination of the transaction price, the Bank allocates to each one of the performance obligations under the contract the price which represents the value expected to be received in respect of each such performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price. Such price is determined based on 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 for the services, considering in each case the market price for the service, the conditions agreed
F-51


with the customer and the customer’s segment. The Bank has fixed and variable prices considering the characteristics of each service, future events, discounts, returns and other variables that may influence the selling price. No significant financing components are factored in the determination of the selling price. For further information, see Note 25. Operating income.
9.      Leases
The measurement of the right-of-use asset and of the lease liabilities requires a series of judgments, among which are the determination of the term of the lease and the rate used in discounting the cash flows. The term of the lease is defined according to the historical information of the contracts and the period over which an asset is expected to be economically usable, which involves a high degree of uncertainty due to the use of relevant information about past events. In the Bank's case, the weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate was used to discount the cash flows associated with the leasing contracts. The Bank performs analysis taking into account the currency, lease term, economic environment and class of underlying assets, as to determine the weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. For further information, see Note 11. Leases.
10.   Uncertainty over income tax treatments
In the process of determining the current and deferred tax for periods subject to review by the tax authority, the applicable rules have been applied and interpretations have been made to take positions, on which different interpretations could arise from those made by the entity. Due to the complexity of the tax system, the continuous modifications of the fiscal rules, the accounting changes with implications in the tax bases and in general the legal instability of the country, at any time the tax authority could have different criteria from the Bank. Therefore, a dispute or inspection by the tax authority on a specific tax treatment may affect the deferred or current tax asset or liability Bank's accounting, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12.
Management and its advisors believe that their decisions concerning the estimates and judgments made in each fiscal period are in accordance with those required by the current tax regulations, and therefore have not considered it necessary to recognize any additional provisions to those indicated in Note 13. Income tax.
F.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements
a)    Recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable in future periods
Amendments Supplier financing agreements to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: The amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 establish disclosure requirements for vendor financing arrangements. This allows users of financial statements to assess the impact of these arrangements on an entity's liabilities and cash flows. The amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 include: Qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements, Clarification of the characteristics of the agreements that qualify or not, as vendor financing contracts.

This amendment is effective as of January 1, 2024. This amendment do not apply to the Bank.

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.
F-52


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 Bank's consolidated 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 Bank's consolidated 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: 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 Bank's consolidated 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.

(2)The variation compared to the previous period is mainly due to the usual transactions of Bancolombia operations, as well as the cancellation of interest-bearing deposits of COP 3,500 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 in Colombia.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there is restricted cash amounting to COP 530,924 and COP 1,082,611, respectively, included in other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, which represents margin deposits pledged as collateral for derivative contracts traded through Colombian clearing houses.

5.2   Derivative financial instruments
The Bank derivative activities do not give rise to significant open positions in portfolios of derivatives. The Bank enters into derivative transactions to facilitate customer business, for hedging purposes and arbitrage activities, such as forwards, options or swaps where the underlying are exchange rates, interest rates and securities.
A swap agreement is a contract between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. Financial futures and forward settlement contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a financial instrument (including another derivative financial instrument), index, currency or commodity at a predetermined rate or price during a period or at a date in the future. Futures and option contracts are standardized agreements for future delivery, traded on exchanges that typically act as a platform.
For further information related to the objectives, policies and processes for managing the Bank’s risk, please see Risk Management.

Day one gains or (losses)
If an asset has been acquired or a liability has been assumed in a market transaction, it could be assumed that the transaction price is the fair value of the asset or liability. However, the fair value of the financial asset or liability at the time of initial recognition may be different from the transaction price, because the fair value includes variables in its
F-71


valuation technique that include market information, such as interest rate yield curves, currencies rates, indicators, default factors among others. When the values are not equal, the asset or liability must be measured at fair value and the difference between the transaction price and the fair value must be recognized as follows:
If fair value is evidenced by Level 1 inputs or is based on a valuation technique that uses only observable market data, the Group must recognize the difference as a gain or loss on initial recognition directly in the income statement.
In all other circumstances, the entire day 1 gain or loss is deferred and is recognized in the income statement over the life of the transaction.
The table below presents the unrecognized gains or (losses) for derivatives trading at the initial moment, due to use of valuation techniques for which not all inputs were observable market data:

Offsetting of derivatives
The Bank enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements or similar agreements with substantially all of the Bank’s derivative counterparties. Where legally enforceable, and depending on the Bank’s intention, these master netting agreements give the Bank, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities and cash equivalents held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty.
The table below presents derivative instruments subject to enforceable master netting agreements and other similar agreements but not offset in the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 by derivative and by risk:

5.3 Hedge Accounting

The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The main risks managed through derivative instruments are exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Details of the covered risks are as follows:

Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Bancolombia's exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations primarily relates to its operational activities (when revenues or expenses are denominated in a foreign currency) and Bancolombia's net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The hedging strategy of this exposure may occur naturally through the interaction of balance sheet accounts, that is, with strategic decisions oriented toward asset and liability accounts in the foreign currency banking book, and through the trading of foreign exchange financial derivatives.

When a derivative is contracted for the purpose of hedging exchange rate risk, Bancolombia negotiates the terms of the derivative seeking to mitigate the adverse financial effects of the covered exposure according to market conditions. For forecasted transaction hedges, the derivative covers the exposure period from the moment cash flows from transactions are forecasted until the settlement of the resulting receivable or payable denominated in foreign currency.

Among the financial derivatives most commonly used to manage exchange rate risk are foreign exchange forwards and Cross Currency Swaps (CCS). When these are designated as hedging instruments, they can be classified as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges under the IFRS 9 accounting guidelines.

Bancolombia determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item based on the currency, amount, and timing of their respective cash flows. The effectiveness of the hedge is assessed at the start of the hedging relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. Bancolombia evaluates whether the designated derivative in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and has been, effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.

In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are:

The effect of the credit risk of counterparties and the Group itself on the fair value of foreign exchange swap and forward contracts, which are not reflected in the change in the fair value of the cash flows hedged attributable to changes in exchange rates; and
Changes in the timing of recognition in the financial statements of the anticipated transactions regarding the nominal value and the exchange rate of their settlement.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Bancolombia’s exposure to changes in market interest rates primarily relates to treasury operations and the banking book, where a mismatch between assets and liabilities in duration, indexing, repricing, and maturity creates an asymmetry that could have repercussions on financial results.

Coverage of this exposure may occur naturally through the interaction of balance sheet accounts, that is, with strategic decisions oriented toward asset and liability accounts in the banking book, and through the trading of interest rate financial derivatives, among which we primarily have Swaps (IRS: Interest Rate Swap), where flows between fixed and variable rates (market index) are agreed upon.

Bancolombia determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item based on reference interest rates, terms, pricing review dates, maturities, and the notional amounts.

F-74


When a derivative is contracted for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk, Bancolombia negotiates the terms of the derivative seeking to mitigate the adverse financial effects of the covered exposure according to market conditions. To test the effectiveness of the hedge, Bancolombia uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument against the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the covered risk.

Hedge ineffectiveness may arise from:

The difference between the variable rate index present in the hedged item and the index used in the derivative instruments, according to market convention (Basis Risk).
Differences in the settlement dates of the cash flows of the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and
The credit risk of counterparties impacts the movements of the fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item differently.

Bancolombia’s risk management strategy and details of its application are further elaborated in the Risk Management - Market Risk section.

As of November 2024, cash flow and fair value hedging operations are carried out in Bancolombia S.A., the details of derivatives designated as hedging instruments according to the type of hedge and covered risk are provided below:

1.Cash Flow hedges

3. Hedges of a net asset in a foreign operation

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.
Bancolombia 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Consequently, the exchange difference related to the conversion of debt securities issued and
F-79


financing with correspondent banks is recognized directly in OCI, as a result of the revaluation of the peso against the dollar, the adjustment recognized in Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income amounted to COP (742,930), COP 1,948,833 and COP (1,833,087), for the years ended at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Impact of movements in the value of the portfolio and loss allowance by Stage
Variation December 2024 vs December 2023
The following explains the significant changes in the loans and the allowance for loan losses by category during the periods ended on December 31, 2024 and 2023 as a result of applying the expected credit loss model according to IFRS 9:
Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 1 increased by COP 22,899,408 and the loss allowance decreased by COP (1,520,924). The increase in the portfolio in this Stage is mainly due to the dynamics of disbursements in the corporate portfolio and the restatement of dollar loans into Colombian Pesos due to the increase in the 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 627,630 and the loss allowance increased by COP 137,359. The increase in exposure is mainly due to clients in the corporate portfolio classified as medium risk, through monitoring by the Special Client Management Committee, and a higher number of restructurings compared to the previous year. 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 1,975,223,and the loss allowance increased by COP 1,340,200. 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 pharmaceutical, commerce, manufacturing, and construction sectors.

Variation December 2023 vs December 2022
Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses)
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.

7.1. Inventories
Due to the nature of the financial services provided by some subsidiaries of the Bank, assets provided through operating or financial leases to third parties that do not exercise the purchase option or that do not have a purchase option, are recorded as inventories once the agreement expires, considering that in the course of the ordinary activities performed by such subsidiaries, those assets are routinely sold.
In addition, the Bancolombia Group companies have a business unit that develops real estate, which are sold in the ordinary course of business and are classified as inventories.

The Bank’s inventories at December 31, 2024 and 2023, are summarized as follows:

(2) The decrease corresponds to higher sales in the year.

Impairment is recognized based on market price fluctuation due to the fact that the fair value is determined by the offering price less cost to sell.
There are no inventories pledged as collateral for liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
7.2. Assets held for sale
The assets recognized by the Bank as assets held for sale correspond to machinery, equipment, motor vehicles and technology, among others that have been received as foreclosed assets.
These assets are subject to a current plan for their sale, which contains the details of the selling price allocation and the advertising and marketing plan. Furthermore, the plan specifies the conditions to proceed with the selling process.
The total balance of assets held for sale, by operating segment, are detailed below:

(1)For further information, see Note 25.5. Dividends and net income on equity investments.
(2)During the year 2024 and 2023, the impairment loss relates mainly to the fact that the Bank's management requested a valuation of joint venture Tuya S.A. to establish the recoverable amount based in value in use of the previously mentioned joint ventures, which amounted to COP 85,993 and COP 425,494 with a 12.90% - 16.10% and 13.10% - 20.30% discount rate, respectively. As a result of the valuation, the recoverables amounts on investment were lower than the carrying amount, therefore, the Bank recorded an impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Income for
F-97


COP 312,288 and COP 106,574, respectively. Additionally, for 2024, the Bank's management determined that due to its divestment decision in the P.A. Muverang, the recoverable amount is COP 0. As the recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount, an impairment was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the period for COP 2,033. Additionally, for 2023, the Bank management performed a valuation, to establish the recoverable amount based in value in use of Fondo de Capital Privado Ruta del Sol compartimento A, which amounted to COP 2,742, with a 36.03% discount rate. As a result of the valuation, the recoverable amount of the investment was higher than the carrying amount, for this, the Bank recognized a recovery of the impairment losses for COP 416. See Note 25.5. Dividends and net income on equity investments.

The fair value of the Bank’s investment properties for the year ending at December 31, 2024 and 2023, has been recorded according to the assessment made by independent external consulting companies that have the appropriate capacity and experience in performing those assessments. The appraisers are either approved by the Property Market Auctions of Colombia or foreign appraisers, who are required to provide a second signature by a Colombia appraiser accredited by the Property Market Auctions.
Fair value appraisals are carried out in accordance with IFRS 13. The reports made by the external consulting company contain the description of the valuation methodologies used, and key assumptions such as: discount rates, calculation of applied expenses and income approach, among others. The fair value of the investment properties is based on the comparative market approach, which reflects the prices of recent transactions with similar characteristics. Upon determining the fair value of these investment properties, the greater and best use of these investment properties is their present use. For further information about measurement techniques and inputs used by consulting companies, see Note 30 Fair Value of assets and liabilities.

Additionally, The Bank recognized other services related to the lease for COP 671,251, COP 660,442 and COP 541,436 respectively.
Risk management associated with leases
The Bank, in those companies offering leasing services, acting as lessor, has a comprehensive asset management model for those assets classified as property, plant and equipment. For the risk of non-payment of rent by the lessee, the model includes policies and guidelines in the origination of leasing contracts, where the lessee's payment capacity is assessed through financial analysis, historical payment behavior evaluation, and risk level. This model includes an impairment test that evaluates indicators that impact the assets, which is carried out annually. The test evaluates both external indicators (economic and legal), and internal ones (insurance, maintenance and used market sales) indicators that impact the assets and their environment are evaluated. Likewise, the calculation of residuals was updated to reflect the effect of the new macroeconomic conditions. Moreover, the Bank performs a detailed review process at the time of return of the asset by the lessees in order to guarantee their operating conditions. Additionally, the Bank employs experts apart from the sales team, who constantly monitor the conditions of the second-hand market, and carry out back-testing in order to determine the consistency of the residual value model, and periodically review the results together with key managers. All the above is complemented by agreements with suppliers, which allow the exchange of information, knowledge and, in some cases, the structuring of residual risk mitigation mechanisms.

In order to manage the risks associated with the assets, the Bank also employs an insurance department, and engages an international broker and insurance companies. They all serve as support to design and define the strategies for the different types of protection that cover the lessor's risks, assets and customers. In the vehicle rental business of Renting Colombia S.A.S., there is also a proprietary insurance model for a percentage of the vehicles in the active fleet, which covers partial and total losses due to damage and theft with company resources. At the same time, civil liability and assistance coverage are managed through insurance companies. This proprietary insurance model is managed through projected estimation strategies, monitoring the frequency of claims, and containment strategies through methodological support and the design and implementation of road safety programs.

Similarly, in the same vehicle rental business of Renting Colombia's, assets are managed with the goal of preserving commercial value through necessary maintenance, which avoids deterioration beyond that generated by regular use. Service indicators with suppliers are periodically reviewed in order to ensure their quality and compliance with the expected levels. Safe mobility strategies are also defined based on the permanent analysis of the road safety indicators. These strategies aim at ensuring the status and useful life of the asset.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assessment made by the Bank indicates there is no evidence of impairment of intangible assets.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank does not have intangible assets with restricted ownership, intangible assets pledged as collateral or contractual agreements for the acquisition of this class of assets.
Research and development costs
During the period ended at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Bank incurred in research and development expenditures on non-capitalized intangible assets for COP 65,010, COP 64,363 and COP 40,229, respectively, recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. These costs were the result of the analysis design and implementation of the transformation projects, the most representative of which were: core transformation in Banistmo S.A. and Core Nequi Renewal (Colombia). The expenses were recorded mainly as fees in the line ‘Other administrative and general expenses’ of the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Intangibles which did not meet the criteria to be recognized as assets
During the period ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Bank recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income the amount of COP 3,552, COP 1,026 and COP 49,079, respectively, related to expenditures which were not recognized as intangible assets. These expenses were not recorded as assets due to the lack of characteristics to be reliably identifiable, and those assets do not support critical processes to be recognized as intangible assets.

The Bank tests goodwill recognized as a result of business combinations for impairment at least annually using a process that begins with an estimation of the recoverable amount of a group of cash-generation units equal to the operating segment. Recoverable amount is determined by management by reference to market value, if available, by pricing models, or with the assistance of a valuation specialist. Determination of recoverable amount requires management to make assumptions and use estimates to forecast cash flow for periods that are beyond the normal requirements of management reporting; the assessment of the appropriate discount rate; estimation of the recoverable amount of cash-generation units; and the valuation of the separable assets of each business whose goodwill is being reviewed.
The key assumptions used by management in determining the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are:

In 2024 and 2023, the Bank tested the aforementioned goodwill for impairment purposes at the following operating segment levels: Banking Panama, Banking El Salvador and Banking Guatemala. Each operating segment represents a group of cash generating units. Evaluating the goodwill impairment at an operating segment level ensures the alignment with the approach used by the CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance. After the valuation, it was determined that there is no impairment loss for any of the cash-generating units mentioned above during 2024 and 2023.

Sensitivity analysis:
In order to assess the impact of changes in certain significant inputs such as the discount rate and the growth rate in the operating segments’ recoverable amount, the Bank undertook a sensitivity analysis of these inputs through alternative scenarios.
The tables below present the estimated recoverable amount of each operating segment obtained as a result of sensitivity analysis for the discount rate and growth rate in basis points (bips):

12.3 Business combination
For 2024 and 2023 there were no business combinations, for 2022 the business combination effected by the Bank is below:
P.A. FAI CALLE 77
On June 4, 2021, Bancolombia S.A. entered into an agreement with CCLA Colombia S.A.S. for the conditional assignment of the fiduciary rights of the Trust named P.A. FAI Calle 77, which owns the Nomad 77 Building located in the city of Bogotá (Colombia), which is the first project built for Multifamily rental housing in Colombia. Bancolombia S.A. concluded that it has control over the P.A. FAI Calle 77 given that it has exposures, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement in the investee and also has the ability to use its power to affect returns from the rental housing activity, through its participation in executive committees, and has the capacity to direct the activity that most significantly affects returns of all business – namely, approval rights over the disposal of the real estate projects.
The transaction was completed on March 1, 2022, upon Bancolombia S.A. obtaining the registration that qualifies it as a lessor of real estate for urban housing from the “Secretaría de Habitat” of Bogota. This registration was the condition to which the transfer of the fiduciary rights was subject. The Bank also obtained control of the P.A. FAI Calle 77 Trust on March 1, 2022, and has an equity interest of 98.00%. This acquisition reflects the Bank's objective to evolve its value proposition based on the current needs of the market, seeking to provide a differential service in rental housing.
The consideration paid by Bancolombia S.A. was COP 56,968, which consisted of a cash advance of COP 29,025 on June 9, 2021 and settlement of an active financial leasing operation with the sellers for COP 27,943.
The acquisition of the P.A. FAI Calle 77 Trust was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of IFRS 3. The purchase price was assigned to the assets and liabilities acquired, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
The Bank opted to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree of 2.00% at fair value, which amounted to COP 1,166 at the date of acquisition.
F-119


The estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on information available as of March 1, 2022. The Bank believes that this information provides a reasonable basis for determining fair values:

The acquisition of P.A. FAI Calle 77 Trust resulted in the recognition of a gain from a bargain purchase of COP 2,433, which was recognized in “Dividends and net income on equity investments” line item of the Consolidated Statement of Income. The amount of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of the non-controlling interest therein, due to the fact that the price was agreed 9 months before the effective transfer of control of the business, reflecting a valuation of the assets.
Acquisition-related cost
In connection with the acquisition, the Bank incurred costs which are recorded in the "Other administrative and general expenses" line item of the Consolidated Statement of Income.

13.5       Deferred tax
In accordance with its financial projections, the companies from the Bank’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 Bank’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.

13.8       Dividends
13.8.1   Dividend 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.
13.8.2   Dividends 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, taking into account that the Bank, its affiliates and national subsidiaries belong to the same business group.
13.9      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 Bank. Consequently, a dispute or inspection by the tax authority on a tax treatment may affect the Bank 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 Bank did not recognize uncertain tax positions in its financial statements.

These benefits include all types of payments that the Bank provides to its employees. The recognition of liabilities related to post-employment and long-term employee benefit plans is based on actuarial computations which involve judgments and assumptions made by management (with the assistance of external actuaries) related to the future macroeconomic and employee demographic factors, among others, which will not necessarily coincide with the future outcome of such factors.
Post-employment benefits
19.1 Defined benefit pension plan
Colombia
Under Colombian law, employee pension obligations are managed as a defined contribution plan since 1990. The Bank’s legal retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 relates to retired employees who rendered services to the Bank before the current regulations took effect. Under this unfunded plan, benefits are based on length of service and level of compensation. As of December 2024, 479 participants were covered by this plan, and as of December 2023, 498 participants.
For purposes of the projected assessment of the pension plan obligation, in the absence of an extensive market for high-quality corporate debt, the sovereign bond curve of the Colombian government is used, with maturity similar to the residual life of the obligation of the projected benefit. The net cost of pensions is accounted for in the Consolidated Statement of Income as “salaries and employee benefits” and includes the interest costs and cost of current service.

The Chase Manhattan Bank Corporation, N.A. (formerly “HSBC Bank Panamá”, later merged with Banistmo S.A. in 2000) offered a defined benefit pension plan based on the average salaries paid during the 120 most recent months prior to the employee's retirement date and the years of employment service. The right to this plan was obtained after 10 years of service with the organization. This individual plan covered a certain group of employees who were hired by Chase Manhattan Bank Corporation, N.A. and it was not extended to employees of HSBC Bank Panama, now Banistmo S.A.

The Bank, through its subsidiary Banistmo, has established a plan with assets to secure benefits promised by Banistmo to the employees entitled to participate in the Pension Plan for former Chase employees under the terms described above and to comply with Panama labor code, which specifies the terms of securing the payments to be made in the event of an employee’s termination (voluntary or involuntary) or upon retirement (termination indemnity plan).
Banistmo’s pension and post-retirement plan assets consider investments in fixed-term deposits and cash and due from banks, in order to reduce the investment risk. The plan assets are managed by a trustee (third party). Likewise, the assets allocation is periodically reviewed by Banistmo and, when necessary, adjusted according to the investment strategy. The plan's investment assets are measured at fair value using significant, unobservable market data and, therefore, are classified as Level 3.
The expected return on assets assumption represents the long term rate of return based on analysis of historical returns, historical asset class volatilities and the fund’s past experience.

(2)The gain for the year 2024 was mainly due to the increase in the discount rate from 9.00% in 2023 to 9.10% in 2024.
19.2 Severance obligation
Colombia
Under Colombian labor regulations, employees hired before 1990 are entitled to receive severance in an amount equal to one month’s salary for each year of service. This benefit accumulates and is paid to the employees upon their termination or retirement from the Bank, calculated based on the employees’ last salary base; however, employees may request advances against this benefit at any time. In 1990, the Colombian government revised its labor regulations for new employees to permit companies, subject to the approval of the employees, to transfer this severance obligation annually to private pension funds (this scheme of employee benefits is known as the current severance obligation).
As of December 2024 and 2023, 82 and 114 participants, respectively, were covered by this plan.

In 2024, assumptions regarding future longevity have been based on mortality tables, which reflect average ages of mortality from 20-60 years. The rate used to discount the obligation of the defined benefit plan to reflect the duration of the labor liabilities as of December 2024 corresponds to the yield of sovereign bonds of each country where the plan is established, either Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and El Salvador, as applicable, since the market transactions of these countries involving corporate bonds of high quality have no high levels of activity. The assumption of the rate of inflation is based on the long term projection of the Central Bank of Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and El Salvador.
The nature of the risks related to the obligations aforementioned are summarized below:
Investment risk
The present value of the obligation for the defined benefits plan is calculated using a discount rate determined with reference to high quality sovereign yields of each country. Currently, the plan includes investment in financial instruments that are not vulnerable to market risks
Interest rate risks
A reduction of the bond interest rates will increase the obligation of the plan
Longevity risk
The present value of the obligation of the defined benefit plan is calculated with reference to the highest estimate of the mortality of participants during their time of employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the participants will increase the plan obligation
Salary risk
The present value of the obligation of the benefit plan is calculated with reference to the future salaries of the participants. As such, an increase in the participants’ wages will increase the obligation of the plan
Estimated payment of future benefits
The payments of benefits, which reflect future service rendered, are considered to be paid as follows:

Sensitivity analysis
In presenting the sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method used to calculate the defined benefit obligation (DBO) recognized in the Statement of Financial Position. Obligations and expenses will change in the future as a result of future changes in the methods of projection and assumption, participant information, plan provisions and regulations, or as resulting from future gains and losses.

Judicial proceedings
Judicial provisions refer to pending legal proceedings on employment matters, ordinary lawsuits, class actions suits, civil actions within criminal prosecutions and executive proceedings against the Bank. In the opinion of management, after receiving pertinent legal advice, the payments estimated to be made in connection with these proceedings will not generate significant losses in addition to the provisions recognized as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. In addition, the Bank does not expect to obtain any reimbursement from judicial proceedings raised against it and, therefore, has not recognized any assets for that purpose, see Note 21.2 Contingent liabilities.
Onerous contracts
For the Bank, an onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

BANCOLOMBIA S.A.
Neos Group S.A.S. (in reorganization) and Inversiones Davanic S.A.S.
On November 3, 2022, Bancolombia S.A. was served of a lawsuit in which Neos Group S.A.S. and Inversiones Davanic S.A.S. alleges that a loan agreement was entered between them, rather than a lease agreement. Subsidiary, Neos Group S.A.S. and Inversiones Davanic S.A.S. requested the rescission of the purchase and sale agreement on the ground that the price of the property was lower than its fair price.

The Neos Group S.A.S. and Inversiones Davanic S.A.S.'s claims amount is COP 65,000. The contingency is qualified as remote because the parties always intended to celebrate a lease agreement and not a different type of contract. On December 7, 2022, Bancolombia S.A. filed a brief with its defenses. As of December 31, 2024, the Court has not summoned the initial hearing. There is no provision for this proceeding.

Bancolombia S.A. filed its defenses arguing that the agreement was made in accordance with the law.
On November 15, 2024, the First Instance Court issued a judgement in favor of Bancolombia S.A. The plaintiffs filed an appeal against the first instance judgment. As of December 31, 2024, the Second Instance Court has not issued a final decision. The contingency is qualified as eventual and there is no provision for this proceeding.

Contraloría Departamental de Cundinamarca against GEHS, Bancolombia and other natural persons (COMPLETED)

The development of the Water Treatment Plant PTAR Chía I Delicias Sur from Municipio de Chía, Colombia, was outlined through a lease agreement signed on September 28, 2015. The price agreed was COP 19,000. The object of the lease agreement was the financing of the Project, as well as the optimization, design, and construction of the Water Treatment Plant PTAR Chía I Delicias Sur. As of December 31, 2018, the lease agreement was at the advance payment stage (payment of interest on the principal amount). The Municipio de Chía´s Mayor Office, has claimed that irregularities have been found during the execution of the Project. Due to these allegations, the Contraloría de Cundinamarca began a Fiscal Responsibility proceeding against GEHS Global Environment and Health Solutions de Colombia (Supplier), Guillermo
F-148


Varela Romero, Rafael Antonio Ballesteros Gómez, Luís Alejandro Prieto González (Municipio de Chía´s former Mayor and employees of the municipal administration), and Bancolombia S.A., based on the alleged loss. Bancolombia S.A. has alleged in its defense, among other arguments, that the Bank fully complied with its contractual obligations and that it is not responsible for the loss of the Municipality's resources.

The Contraloría de Cundinamarca at first and second instance held responsible five (5) individuals, including Bancolombia S.A., for a total amount of COP 7,650.

As of December 31, 2024, the proceeding before the Contraloría de Cundinamarca has ended due to the total payment of the awarded amount.

Remediation Plan for Santa Elena´s property
In 1987, Banco de Colombia (now known as Bancolombia S.A.) received a property located in Municipio de Cartagena, Colombia from the Federación Nacional de Algodoneros. After the transfer of the property to Bancolombia S.A., soil contamination from pesticides and herbicides was found on the property. Bancolombia S.A. commenced a civil responsibility judicial proceeding against the Federación Nacional de Algodoneros alleging environmental contamination.

On November 13, 2015, the Court issued the final judgment. In the judgment, the Court stated that the Federación Nacional de Algonoderos was liable for environmental damages and consequently, Bancolombia S.A. was not.

Despite not being liable for environmental damages, Bancolombia S.A. has assumed binding commitments to contract and pay for the property’s decontamination. As a result of these commitments, Bancolombia S.A. has conducted different decontamination processes over the years. Currently, Bancolombia S.A. has the approval of the Autoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales de Colombia (ANLA) for the execution of a remediation plan (plan de remediación) divided into three stages: Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III.

As of December 31, 2024, Bancolombia S.A. submitted before the ANLA the results of the complementary studies of Stage I, demolition activities of the warehouses of Stage II were completed, and is carrying out with the extraction and disposal of the resulting material.

25.3.       Fees and commissions
The Bank has elected to present the income from contracts with customers as an element in a line named “Fees and commissions income” in the consolidated statement of income separated from the other income sources.
F-157


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:
Fees and Commissions
Description
Banking services
Banking 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.
Deposits
Deposits 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 ATMs
Revenue 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.
F-158


Brokerage
Brokerage 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 principle 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.
Acceptances, Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit
Banking 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.
Trust
Revenue 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.
Collections
The 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.
F-159


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 25.4 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 25.4 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
F-161


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.
The following table shows the detail of accounts receivable, and contract liabilities balances as at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

NOTE 27. 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, considering the allocation of remaining earnings to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of 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 assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Bank had no dilutive potential common shares as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

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.
F-174



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 comparable 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 comparable, 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
F-175


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”.

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.

F-176


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 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

F-177


The Bank recognizes its investments in P.A Viva Malls, P.A Distrito Vera and Fideicomiso Locales Distrito Vera as associates 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.

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:

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

F-181


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 such 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:

During 2024, the Bank transferred securities from level 1 to level 2, because such securities decreased in liquidity and were traded less frequently 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 sensitivity:

Methodology
Valuation technique
Significant unobservable input
Description 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 last quarter for 2024 are:
Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.13%.
Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.27%, terminal rate: 8.29%.
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 last quarter of 2024 are 0.88% 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.

Credit Risk Management - Loans and Advances
In 2024, the dynamics of Grupo Bancolombia's portfolio responded to a modest and gradual economic reactivation, influenced by macroeconomic factors such as the decrease in inflation and interest rates, which boosted internal and external demand thanks to increased investment and consumption. However, political and fiscal uncertainty, mainly in
F-192


Colombia, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which affect the global economy, create a challenging economic environment. In this context, the perception of risk among investors and the decrease in confidence among both consumers and businesses affected the demand for credit in the countries where the Group has a presence.

The monitoring and review of credit portfolios continue to be a relevant factor in the identification and application of strategies at different stages of the credit cycle, which has led to the development of new processes, methodologies, and models with traditional, alternative, and sectoral information, aimed at managing the portfolio in the cycle with greater personalization and timeliness, through local and transversal tools in the countries where the Group has a presence. This has contributed to both a general improvement in the risk indicators of the portfolio and in the support to our clients.

Risk management during the credit life cycle is developed through the fulfillment of the policies, procedures and methodologies stipulated in the “Comprehensive Risk Management System (SIAR)”, which include the general criteria for evaluating, measuring, assuming, monitoring, controlling and hedging credit risk. In addition, Management has developed process and methodology manuals that specify the policies and procedures for the different products and segments served by the organization in accordance with the strategy approved by the Board of Directors for monitoring and controlling such risk.

The Credit Risk Administration System also contains general criteria to evaluate, classify, measure and mitigate credit risk. In addition, the credit risk department has developed methodologies and manuals that specify the policies and procedures for different products and segments managed by the Bank.

To maintain credit quality and manage the risk arising from its lending activities, the Bank has established general loan policies, including the following:

Credit exposure limits: Contains guidelines with regards to the establishment of credit exposure limits. This is set as a result of legal requirements and according to the Bank’s internal guidelines.

Origination policies: These policies aim to acquire ample and sufficient knowledge of the characteristics of potential borrowers and to select them properly. The risk level of the individual and legal entities is determined using rating and scoring models which define cut-off points that are applied in the process of issuing credit. These models use information such as the credit history of the borrower, sociodemographic particularities, the type of business the borrower engages in, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and information received from the credit risk bureaus. In addition, sectorial and macroeconomic behavior is taken into account. Loan applications, depending on their amount and risk level, are presented for approval at the level of management authority required.

Collaterals policies: For the purpose of mitigating risk associated with non-fulfillment of obligations agreed upon by the borrower, the Bank has established policies for the valuation of collateral received as well as for the determination of the maximum loan amount that can be granted against the value of the collateral.

Allowance policies: The objective of this policy is to fulfill legal requirements and the Bank’s business policies. In addition, this policy is meant to provide the guidelines to analyze the client’s status and take the necessary actions in order to mitigate credit risk to which the Bank is exposed. For further information, please see Note 2. Material Accounting Policies.

Monitoring policies: Contains various monitoring procedures, portfolio reports and policies for the purpose of overseeing, in an adequate and timely manner, the evolution of credit risk. These procedures include a continuous process of classification and reassessment of credit operations and they maintain consistency with the policies implemented for granting loans.

Portfolio recovery policies: Through these policies, the Bank aims to establish those mechanisms that allow it to anticipate the action to be taken in the event of possible delays and minimize the impact resulting from non-fulfillment of payment or delays by the borrower. Additionally, the aspects established in this policy delimit what the Bank has defined as collection management and that make it possible to obtain information to improve the origination
F-193


policies and the allowances for loans and advances and lease losses models. The established actions are combined with strategies to adjust to the economy, market and costumer conditions, allowing the Bank to offer alternatives tailored to each case, such as payment deals, foreclosed assets, cession agreements, modifications, restructuring, and so on.

Management of credit risk is carried out through all the credit life cycle. These stages are defined in the following way:

Origination: Knowing the borrower, payment capacity analysis, payment behavior and credit approval and structure.
Monitoring: Knowing the borrower’s situation during the life of the credit.
Recovery: Collection management during the different stages of the same credit.
To support the credit origination processes, models, methodologies, and analytical techniques based on statistical information and expert criteria are used. Their purpose is to evaluate and differentiate the risk level of potential and current clients, thus facilitating informed decision-making. These models are mainly applied during the granting stage and also play a fundamental role in monitoring, by allowing the tracking of the client's evolution, and in recovery, by facilitating the implementation of risk mitigation and portfolio recovery strategies. Continuous monitoring of the client's evolution is carried out, which allows for the timely detection of credit deterioration and proactive risk management throughout the credit lifecycle. Additionally, strategies and mechanisms based on quantitative and qualitative analysis are implemented to optimize collection management, reduce expected losses, and minimize the impact of defaults on the portfolio.

The Risk Vice Presidency is responsible for defining and documenting the specific characteristics of the models, methodologies, and analytical techniques employed. It has the authority to develop mathematical and expert formulas, as well as to establish key parameters according to market conditions, the product, and the risk appetite framework approved by the Board of Directors. The models may include variables of different natures, such as sociodemographic, sectoral, and qualitative variables, as well as internal and external behavior, financial information related to investment, savings, and transactions, in addition to market studies and product-specific parameters. The adequate performance of the models is ensured, measured through their discriminative capacity, understood as the model's ability to differentiate between clients with different levels of risk.

In accordance with current regulations, which include the regulations issued by the Financial Superintendency and international risk management standards, backtesting tests are conducted on the models used in credit cycle management. The results of these tests are presented quarterly to the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors for their information. Additionally, the Risk Vice Presidency establishes, through internal circulars, the internal rating or the required range in credit processes, regulating the parameters for assigning a rating different from the model, considering quantitative and qualitative aspects of the client.

Monthly, the credit portfolio is rated using internal models that allow for the assessment of the credit risk of each debtor and the determination of the required provisions. These models are regularly updated to reflect changes in market conditions and ensure their accuracy and relevance. The monthly provisions allow for the assessment of risk collectively or individually, using parameters such as Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Exposure at Default (EAD). For more details, see Note 2. Material Accounting Policies, section 4.1.2.

Individual analysis is applied to clients in stage 3 with significant balances and to corporate clients who recover from default and move to stage 2. This analysis is based on the projection of each client's cash flow, considering parameters associated with recovery rates estimated by models that incorporate financial information, behavior, collateral, and qualitative variables. Periodically, backtesting tests are conducted on these provisioning models to ensure an adequate level of coverage aligned with Grupo Bancolombia's risk appetite.

To ensure compliance with concentration limit regulations, Grupo Bancolombia continuously monitors risk groups and controls their exposures, evaluating legal debt limits. Analytical tools are used to identify clients or sectors with high risk

concentration and to implement diversification strategies to mitigate potential adverse impacts. Methodologically, Grupo Bancolombia relies on international benchmarks defined by external risk rating agencies, which allows for the analysis of concentration across different geographies. Normatively, Grupo Bancolombia adheres to the concepts and methodologies established in applicable external regulations.

The following classifications are established for the analysis of concentration:
By country: Based on the country where the loans were originated.
By sector: According to the sectorial sub-segmentation defined by the Bank based mainly on the code CIIU1.
By categories: According to the portfolio category of each agreement (commercial, financial leases, consumer loans, small business loans and mortgages).
By economic group: According to the characteristics of economic groups as established by regulations.
By maturity: According to the remaining term to loan maturity.
By past due days: This concentration evaluates loans that are more than one month overdue.
1 CIIU: International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities.
Country Risk

The Bank's financial companies, which are subject to the application of the Comprehensive Risk Management System (SIAR), the framework for the management of country risk is included, which 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 framework has guidelines, processes and methodologies that evaluate periodically the country risk to which it is exposed in its Equity Investments, such as equity investments, those that are executed in jurisdictions different from Colombia that could have a high economic materiality, individually or aggregated by country, and whose purpose is to remain in the country.

Country risk management includes different stages to identificate, measure, control and monitor the risk to which the entity is being exposed. For this management, the business plan, type of operations, their materiality, current and future vocation, as well as the characteristics of the country in which the investment is made. Additionally, it is supported by policies and strategies that are proposed by the Vice Presidency of Risks and approved by the Board of Directors.

The definition of investment appetite takes into account the assessment of country risk as defined in the SIAR and must ensure compliance with solvency and liquidity indicators, seeking to be consistent with the strength and financial health of the entity.

At the end of 2024, there were no alerts on any investments, nor were any adjustments made for deterioration in investments that could affect or deteriorate the Bank's financial strength. As relevant variations to highlight, the transfer of the investment from Wenia Ltd. to Investment Banking is presented, and 2 new investments are added: Ozone Financial Technology Limited, whose investing company is Sistema de Inversiones y Negocios, S.A., and Banagrícola S.A., whose investing company is Inversiones CFNS S.A.S. A positive variation of 17% in the balance of investments is presented, mainly attributed to changes in the exchange rate and operational results.

a.Credit Quality Analysis - Loans and Financial Leases
Rating System for Credit Risk Management
The principal aim of this rating system is to determine the risk profile of the borrower, which is obtained through a rating.
The rating of the corporate portfolio is primarily conducted through a Rating model, based on the analysis of the interrelation of both quantitative and qualitative elements, which allow for determining the probability of default that may affect the fulfillment of the financial commitments acquired by a client. The rating model is applied from the origination and is periodically updated, incorporating determinants of credit risk, which can be summarized as the client's financial performance measured through financial figures and payment capacity, payment behavior both with Grupo Bancolombia and with other entities in the financial sector, qualitative information, as well as transactional information of the client within the Group as alternative variables.

In the case of a retail customer, granting and behavior scoring models are used in order to identify the level of risk associated with the borrower. These models include information such as personal details, financial information and transactional, historical behavior, the total number of credit products and external information from credit bureaus.
Description of Loans and Financial Leases
In order to evaluate and manage credit risk, the credits and financial leasing operations have been classified as:
Commercial and Financial Leases:
Loans granted to individuals or companies in order to carry out organized economic activities and are not classified as small business loans.

Analysis of the behavior and impairment of the loan portfolio and financial lease operations
As of December 31, 2024, the Bank’s total loan portfolio, valued in Colombian pesos, registered an increase of 10.0% compared to December 2023, driven by to the growth of the commercial portfolio of the corporate segment. These results are a response to monetary policy adjustments that have gradually reduced inflation and interest rates, generating economic reactivation in certain sectors of the countries where the Group has a presence. Additionally, the depreciation of the peso against the dollar during the analysis period contributed to the increase in the portfolio due to the revaluation in pesos of the Group's foreign currency portfolio. The consolidated delinquency index PDL 30 days showed a reduction, standing at 5.20% in December 2024 compared to 5.39% in December 2023, mainly explained by the improvement in the quality of the consumer portfolio. During the period, different strategies were developed throughout the credit cycle, allowing for the implementation of proactive and coherent actions in line with the reality of the clients and their environment, in order to contain deterioration and place them in better risk profiles.

Commercial loans and financial leases amounted to COP 180,544 billion, which represented a growth of 11.5% compared to 2023. The 30-day past due loan ratio was 3.77% compared to 3.50% as of December 2023.

Consumer loans amounted to COP 55,816 billion, which represented a growth of 2.2% compared to 2023. The 30-day past due loan ratio was 7.92% compared to 9.48% as of December 2023.

Mortgage loans totaled to COP 41,742 billion, which represented a growth of 15.1% compared to 2023. The 30-day past due loan ratio was 7.62% compared to 7.52% as of December 2023.

Small Business loans ended at COP 1,352 billion, which represented a growth of 18.1% with respect to 2023. The 30-day past due loan ratio was 8.11% compared to 12.17% as of December 2023.

In order to monitor credit risk associated with clients, the Bank has established regular meetings conducted by the AEC Committee to identify events that can lead to a reduction in borrowers’ ability to pay. Generally, clients with good credit behavior could be included in the watch list in case of detecting any event that can lead to future financial difficulties to repay their loans; for instance, internal factors such as the economic activity and sector, financial weakness, impacts of macroeconomic conditions, changes in corporate governance and other situations that could affect clients’ business. The amount and allowance of clients included in the described watch list, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 is shown below:

Loans and Financial Leases Collateral
The Bank obtains collateral for loans and leases in order to mitigate credit risk by foreclosing the collateral when the borrower cannot fully repay the loan or lease. Collateral is considered in the determination of the allowance for loans and advances and lease losses when it complies with the following conditions:
Its fair value was established according to technical and objective criteria.
The Bank is granted a preference to obtain the payment of the obligation, becoming an effective legal mechanism over it.
Its performance is reasonably possible.
The Bank has defined the criteria for collateral enforceability, which are established according to the classification of the loan portfolio. In addition, the Bank has set guidelines to value collateral and the frequency of such valuations, as well as those guidelines related to the legalization, registry and maintenance of the collateral. Likewise, the Bank has defined the criteria for insurability, custody and the necessary procedures for their cancellation.
The update of the fair value of mortgages and vehicles collaterals for the loan portfolio is made at least once a year. The methodology used to estimate the fair value of the properties is applied by external and independent entities. Updating the fair value of the vehicles is done through guides and valid values commonly used as reference to set the value of a vehicle. The fair value of real state and vehicles are classified in levels 2 and 3 depending on the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation techniques according to the hierarchy established by IFRS 13.
To determine the suitability of appraiser’s selection, there are internal guidelines to be fulfilled related to independence, professional certification, reputation and experience. In a similar way, to validate the appraisal´s suitability, the bank has defined guidelines based on current regulations which are related to methodologies, report quality and commercial value.

The Bank closely monitors financial assets that are classified in Stage 3, to the point that a specific methodology for calculating expected credit losses is applied using a sophisticated approach named “ECL model under collateral Methodology”, which considers components like the forecasts of future collateral valuations, including expected sale discounts; time to realization of collateral, cure rates, external costs of realization of collateral, among others; as a consequence of the higher likelihood that the bank will take possession of these collaterals in order to mitigate potential credit losses.

A portion of the Bank’s financial assets originated by the mortgage and commercial business has sufficiently low ‘loan to value’ (LTV) ratios, which results in no loss allowance being recognized in accordance with The Bank’s expected credit loss model. The carrying amount of such financial assets is COP 273,574 as at December 31, 2024 and COP 175,163 as at 31 December 2023.

Foreclosed assets and other credit mitigants
Assets received in lieu of payment (foreclosed assets) are recognized on the statement of financial position when current possession of the asset takes place.
Foreclosed assets such as immovable and movable property, equity securities and other financial assets, are received based on a commercial valuation, and their net realizable value is given by a specialized team.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank entered into non-cash operating and investing activities related to restructured loans and returned properties that were transferred to assets held for sale and inventories amounting to COP 1,408,331 and COP 1,361,465, respectively.

The Bank classifies foreclosed assets after acknowledgment of the exchange operation according to the intention of use, as follows:
Non-current assets held for sale.
Other marketable assets.
Other non-marketable assets.
Inventories.
F-201


Collateral classified as non-current assets held for sale are those expected to be sold in the following 12 months. When there are market restrictions that do not allow their realization in less than 12 months and this period is extended, retroactive depreciation must be charged to results and the asset value will be reduced by the depreciation value.
Foreclosed assets classified as non-current assets held for sale are those expected to be sold in the following 12 months. The non-current assets held for sale that cease to comply with the guidelines of immediately sell, must be classified as “Other marketable assets” and if it’s necessary, their book value would be adjusted.
b.Risk Concentration – Loans and Advances
The analysis of credit risk concentration is done by monitoring the portfolio by groups such as: loan categories, maturity, past due days, economic sector, country and economic group, as shown here:

In order to determine the expected credit loss, the Bank considers the economic conditions and performance of the borrower’s industry, the analysis of payments behavior, events that could negatively affect the borrower’s ability to pay, among others factors.
The expected credit loss is determined either by a collective or individual evaluation according to the amount and characteristics of the loan. For further details please see Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies, section 7.4.5 Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income “FVOCI”.
Impairment loan portfolio analyzed by individual evaluation at COP 6,527 billion, which represented 2.3% of the total portfolio of the Bank.

Sensitivity analysis
The variables with the greatest influence for each country on the expected credit loss (ECL) assessment for the loan portfolio and financial leasing are:

Colombia:

Consumer price index: due to its significant impact on the clients’ repayment capacity;
Interest rates: because of its direct impact on the obligations’ repayment.

Panama:

Consumer price index: due to its significant impact on the clients’ repayment capacity;
Balance of trade: due to the influence on the client’s income.

El Salvador:

Consumer price index: due to its significant impact on the clients’ repayment capacity;
Budget balance: due to the effect of government spending and fiscal policies on the economy.

Guatemala:

Consumer price index: due to its significant impact on the clients’ repayment capacity;
Interest rates: because of its direct impact on the obligations’ repayment.

The change in the expected credit losses (ECL) at 31 of December 2024, as a result of a possible positive or negative 1% (100 basis points) change in those variables were assessed based on the assumptions used to calculate the ECL for each of the scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic, as following:

The Bank has estimated the impact on the expected credit loss (ECL) assuming the forward-looking scenarios (e.g. optimistic and pessimistic) were weighted 100% instead of applying scenario probability weights across the two scenarios. The table below shows the impact on the expected credit loss (ECL) for each methodology:

d.Credit Risk Management – Other Financial Instruments:
Each one of the positions that make up the portfolio complies with the policies and limits that seek to diminish credit risk exposure. Those policies are, among others:
Term Limits: The Credit Committee evaluates and reviews the result of the authorized model for the different counterparties according to quantitative and qualitative variables, allowing it to establish the maximum term to which the Bank wishes to have exposure..
Credit Limits: Approved limits under the model and with authorization from the Credit Committee, as well as the exposure, are monitored in line or batch, in such a way as to mitigate the occurrence of excesses and, in the event that there is a need for them, applies to the current attribution system.
Counterparty Limits: These limits, derived from the credit limits or from allocation models and are verified by the Front Office prior to the close of operations.
Master Agreement: These bilateral agreements describe the handling of operations between the counterparties in accordance with good international practices and that limit the legal and financial risk under the occurrence of events of default (failure to pay or delivery). Mitigation mechanisms, procedures to be carried out in the case of these events of default, special conditions by type of operation and that are applied to OTC derivatives, Repos and other securities financing transactions, are all agreed upon.
Margin Agreements: For OTC derivatives operations and other securities financing transactions, agreements that regulate the administration of guarantees, haircuts, adjustment periods, minimum transfer amounts, etc., and that limit risk for a period of time (one day, one week, etc.), are established for counterparties involved in the operation.
Counterparty Alerts: There are financial, qualitative and market indicators that allow the Bank to establish damages to the credit quality of an issuer or counterparty.
e.Credit Quality Analysis - investment 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 issuer; 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 risk to high risk (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.
Financial credit quality of other financial instruments that are not in default nor impaired in value
Debt instruments: 100% of the debt instruments are not in default.
Equity: The positions do not represent significant risks.
Derivatives: 99.9% of the credit exposure does not present incidences of material default. The remaining percentage corresponds to default events at the end of the period.

Collateral- investment 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.
F-211


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 Citibank N.A.. 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. Among the main characteristics by product or market, we have:
With respect to the derivative operations, these are carried out daily, with threshold levels of zero for the majority of counterparties, which reduces the exposure to a term that does not exceed 10 days, according to Basel.
For buy-sell backs, repos and other securities financing transactions, daily monitoring is done in order to establish the need to adjust the collateral in such a way that these are applied in as little time as possible, according to the contracts or market conditions.
For all international counterparties, margin agreements that limit exposure to the maximum and with a daily adjustment period are celebrated. These margin agreements are celebrated under ISDA(International Swaps and Derivatives Association)2 and GMRA (Global Master Repurchase Agreement)3 both for OTC derivatives and securities financing transactions.
For every local counterparty, the local framework agreement is signed (agreement developed by the industry) and the mitigating actions to apply in each operation are agreed upon, whether for margin agreements, re-couponing, early termination, among others.
For repos, buy-sell backs and other securities financing transactions, these are agreed upon by organized markets that in general implicate complying with haircut or additional collateral rules.
The central counterparty carries out daily control and monitoring processes in order to comply with the rules imposed by these organizations in such a way that we are always making daily adjustments at the demanded collateral level.
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).
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).2

Market risk
Market risk refers to the risk of losses in the Bank’s treasury book due to changes in equity prices, interest rates, foreign-exchange rates and other indicators whose values are set in a public market. It also refers to the probability of unexpected changes in net interest income and equity economic value of equity as a result of a change in market interest rates.
Market risk stems from the following activities at the Bank:
a)Trading: Includes purchase - sale and positioning mainly in fixed income securities, equities, currencies and derivatives, as well as the financial services provided to customers, such as brokerage. Trading instruments are recorded in the treasury book and are managed by the Treasury Division which is also responsible for the aggregated management of exchange rate exposures arising from the banking book and treasury book.
Market risk can also arise from the crypto market fluctuations that affect our crypto assets portafolio held in reserve to facilitate our clients activities of Wenia, our digital asset company in Bermudas, which is the only company in Grupo Bancolombia authorized to take this kind of assets, according to our internal policies.
b)Balance sheet management: Includes the Bank's assets and liabilities that are not part of the treasury and those operations intended to cover the banking book. The Assets Liability Management Division is responsible for the balance sheet management, preserving the stability of the financial margin and the economic value of equity, maintaining adequate levels of liquidity and solvency. Non-trading instruments are recorded in the Bank’s banking book (the “Banking Book”), which includes primarily loans, time deposits, checking accounts and savings accounts.
F-214


In the Bank, the market risks are identified, measured, monitored, controlled and reported in order to support the decision-making process for their mitigation, and to create greater shareholder value added.
The guidelines, policies and methodologies for market risks management are approved by the Board of Directors, thus guaranteeing the congruence and consistency in the risk appetite among subsidiaries. Each country has a local Market and Liquidity Risk Management Office that applies at an individual level the principles of the Bank´s Market Risks Management Strategy. The Board of Directors and senior management have formalized the policies, procedures, strategies and rules of action for market risk administration in its “Market Risk Manual”. This manual defines the roles and responsibilities within each subdivision of the Bank and their interaction to ensure adequate market risk administration.
The Bank´s Corporate Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office, responsible for monitoring and permanently controlling compliance with the limits established, is set up with clear independence from the trading and businesses units, ensuring enforcement authority. This independent control function is complemented by regular reviews conducted by the Internal Audit.
The Bank’s Corporate Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office is responsible for: (a) identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling the market risk inherent in the Bank’s businesses: (b) the Bank’s exposure under stress scenarios and confirming compliance with the Bank’s risk management policies: (c) designing the methodologies for valuation of the market value of certain securities and financial instruments: (d) reporting to senior management and the Board of Directors any violation of the Bank’s risk management policies: (e) reporting to the senior management on a daily basis the levels of market risk associated with the trading instruments recorded in its treasury book, and (f) proposing policies to the Board of Directors and to senior management that ensure the maintenance of predetermined risk levels. The Bank has also implemented an approval process for new products across each of its subdivisions. This process is designed to ensure that each subdivision is prepared to incorporate the new product into its procedures, that every risk is considered before the product is incorporated and that approval is obtained from the Board of Directors before the new product can be sold.
Market risks arising from trading instruments are measured at the Bank using two different Value at Risk (VaR) methodologies: the standard methodology required by the SFC, and the internal methodology of historical simulation. The standard methodology is established by “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, based on the model recommended by the Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks of Basel Committee, and is reflected in the Bank’s Capital Adequacy (Solvency) ratio. The internal methodology of weighted historical simulation uses a confidence level of 99%, a holding period of 10 days, and a time frame of one year or at least 250 days from the reference date of the VaR calculation is used, for digital assets the internal methodology uses a holding period of 1 days and a time frame of 4 years, using a multivariate GARCH family model. The standard methodology is used to report the market risk exposure to the Financial Superintendency and is also used to measure the capital requirements for the Bank, therefore the analysis below is based on information obtained from this model.

The Bank’s VaR limits structure for trading activities, is sufficiently granular to conduct an effective control of the various types of market risk factors on which an exposure is held. It ensures that the market risk is not concentrated in certain asset classes and maximizes the portfolio diversification effect. These limits are defined by companies, products or by risk takers. The majority of the limits are based on the maximum VaR values to which a certain portfolio can be exposed, nevertheless, loss triggers, stop loss and sensitivity warning levels are also set, especially in the derivatives portfolios. The limits are approved by the Board of Directors, and set based on factors such as tolerance for losses, capital resources and market´s complexity and volatility. They are monitored daily, and their excesses or violations are reported to the Board of Directors and the Risk Committee.
In order to capture the tail risks, the Expected Shortfall is estimated, with a confidence interval of 97.5%, which corresponds to the expected value of the losses that are greater than or equal to the VaR.Additional measurements such as stress tests are performed, to identify extreme unusual situations that could cause severe losses. Stress simulations include historical events and hypothetical scenarios. Back testing or model validation techniques through comparison of predicted and actual loss level are applied on a regular basis to analyze and contrast the accuracy of the VaR calculation methodology in order to confirm its reliability, and make adjustments to the models if necessary.
F-215


Within the control and monitoring processes of market risks, reports are elaborated on a daily and monthly basis. They include an analysis of the most relevant risk measures and allow for monitoring the exposure levels to market risks and to the legal and internal limits established for each one of the levels of the Bank. These reports are taken as an input for the decision-making process in the different Committees and management of the Bank.
For management and control of the market risks of activities other than trading, the Bank uses a comprehensive approach, with a short-term vision, measuring the sensitivity of the net interest margin over a one-year horizon, and a long-term vision, estimating the impact on the economic value of equity through different scenarios. Additionally, triggers are defined for monitoring and controling exposure to the interest rate risk of the banking book positions, which are periodically reported to Senior Management.
The market risk management of the positions in the banking book is carried out in a decentralized and independent manner in each of the banking entities of the Bank, by the Asset and Liability Management areas, in the Finance Department.
Market Risk and banking book's interest rate risk management

The following section describes the market risks to which the Bank is exposed and the tools and methodologies used to measure these risks as of December 31, 2024. The Bank faces market risk as a consequence of its lending, trading and investments businesses.
The Bank uses VaR calculation to limit its exposure to the market risk of its Treasury Book. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the maximum VaR based on its assessment of the appropriate level of risk for Bancolombia. The Risks Committee is responsible for establishing the maximum VaR for each company and the Propietary Trading Risks Committee is responsible for establishing the maximum VaR by type of investment. These limits are supervised on a daily basis by the Market Risk Management Office.
For the management of the interest rate risk of the banking book, the Bank estimates the impact of changes in market rates on the net interest income and the economic value of equity. In addition, the foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the banking book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.


a.Measurement of market risk of trading instruments
The Bank currently measures 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 SFC.
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, such as non-trading positions excluding the currency risk position stemming from investment in affiliated but not consolidated entities denominated in foreign currencies. 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.
The total market risk for the Bank is calculated by the arithmetical aggregation of the VaR calculated for each subsidiary. The aggregated VaR is reflected in the Bank’s Capital Adequacy (Solvency) ratio, in accordance with Decree 2555 de 2010.
For purposes of VaR calculations, a risk exposure category is any market variable that is able to influence potential changes in the portfolio value. Taking into account a given risk exposure, the VaR model assesses the maximum loss not
F-216


exceeded, over a given period of time. The fluctuations in the portfolio’s VaR depend on volatility, modified duration and positions changes relating to the different instruments that are subject to market risk.
The relevant risk exposure categories for which VaR is computed by the Bank according to “Chapter XXXI, Appendix VI of the Basic Accounting Circular” are: (i) interest rate risks relating to local currency, foreign currency and UVR; (ii) currency risk; (iii) stock price risk; (iv) fund risk. and (v) credit default swaps risk.
Interest Rate Risk (Treasury Book)
The interest rate risk is the probability of decrease in the market value of the position due to fluctuations in market interest rates. The Bank calculates the interest rate risk for positions in local currency, foreign currency and UVR separately; in accordance with Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular issued by the SFC.
In the first instance, the interest rate risk exposure is determined by the sensitivity calculation for the net position of each instrument. This sensitivity is calculated as the net present value (NPV) of each instrument, its corresponding modified duration and the estimated variation of interest rates. The possible variations in the interest rates are established by the SFC according to the historical behavior of these variables in the markets, and they are a function of the duration and currency, as seen in the following table:

Once the sensitivity factor is calculated for each position, the modified duration is then used to classify each position within its corresponding band. A net sensitivity is then calculated for each band, by determining the difference between the sum of all long-positions and the sum of all short-positions. Then a net position is calculated for each zone (which consists of a series of bands) determined by the SFC. The final step is to make adjustments within each band, across bands and within each zone, which results in a final number that is the interest rate risk VaR by currency. Each adjustment is performed following the guidelines established by the SFC.
The Bank’s exposure to interest risk primarily arises from investments in Colombian government’s treasury bonds (TES) and other Colombian government securities.

Currency (Treasury and Banking Book), Equity (Treasury Book) and Fund (Treasury Book) Risk
The VaR model uses a sensitivity factor to calculate the probability of loss due to fluctuations in the price of stocks, funds and currencies in which the Bank maintains a position. As previously indicated, the methodology used in these financial
F-217


statements to measure such risk consists of computing VaR, which is derived by multiplying the position by the maximum probable variation in the price of such positions (“∆p”). The (“∆p”) is determined by the SFC, as shown in the following table:
Currency
Sensitivity Factor
United States Dollar
    12.49 %    
Euro
    11.00 %    
Other currencies
    13.02 %    
Equity and Fund Risk
    14.70 %    
The SFC according to historical market performance establishes the interest rate’s fluctuations and the sensitivity factors for currency, equity and fund risk used in the model.
Total Market Risk VaR
The total market risk VaR is calculated as the algebraic sum of the interest rate risk, the currency risk, the stock price risk, fund risk and the credit default swaps risk which are calculated as the algebraic sum of the Parent Company and each of its subsidiaries’ exposure to these risks. Currently, the Bank not present exposure to credit default swaps risk.
The total market risk VaR had a 54.9% increase, from COP 1,096,000 in December 31, 2023 to COP 1,697,566 as of December 31, 2024. This increase was highlighted by the foreign exchange rate risk, driven by a greater exposure to the US Dollar. This was followed by an increase in exposure to the interest rate factor, driven by higher investments in Colombian government’s treasury bonds (TES). Additionally, factors related to equity and fund risk portfolios showed an increase, mainly due to valuations in the Colombia Real Estate Fund.

The following table presents the total change in market risk and other risk factors.

*As of December 31, 2024, the proprietary cryptocurrency portfolio of Wenia amounted to USD 956.3 thousand, with a Value at Risk (VaR) of USD 17.2 thousand. The VaR was calculated using an internal methodology based on a Dinamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) GARCH model, with a one-day time horizon and a 99% of confidence level.

Between December 31, 2024 and 2023, the average Total VaR was COP 1,439 billion, the maximum value COP 1,734 billion, and the minimum value COP 1,182 billion.

Assumptions and Limitations of VaR Models
Although VaR models represent a recognized tool for risk management, they have inherent limitations, including reliance on historical data that may not be indicative of future market conditions or trading patterns. Accordingly, VaR models should not be viewed as predictive of future results. The Bank may incur losses that could be materially in excess of the amounts indicated by the models on a particular trading day or over a period of time, and there have been instances when results have fallen outside the values generated by the Bank’s VaR models. A VaR model does not calculate the greatest possible loss. The results of these models and analysis thereof are subject to the reasonable judgment of the Bank’s risk management personnel.
The Bank’s results could adversely affected with high inflation rate
High level of inflation increases interest rates and reduces the market value of the Bank´s debt instruments and increases the market risk in general. Inflation also impacts the real interest rate. When the inflation rate is higher than the nominal interest rate, negative real interest rates discourage saving and the greater variability increases uncertainty and risk, not only in the loan market but also in the stock market.
b.Non-trading instruments market risk measurement
The banking book’s relevant risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the probability of unexpected changes in net interest income or in the economic value of equity as a result of a change in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the Bank’s earnings because of timing differences on the repricing of the assets and liabilities. The Bank manages the interest rate risk arising from banking activities in non-trading instruments by analyzing the interest rate mismatches between its interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities, and estimates the impact on the net interest income and the economic value of equity. The foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the banking book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.
Interest Risk Exposure (Banking Book)
The Bank has performed a sensitivity analysis of market risk sensitive instruments estimating the impact on the net interest income of each position in the Banking Book, using a repricing model and assuming positive parallel shifts of 100 basis points (bps).
The table 1 provides information about Bancolombia’s interest rate sensitivity for the statement of financial position items comprising the Banking Book.

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:
The net interest income sensitivity in local currency for the banking book instruments, entered for other than trading purposes with positive parallel shifts of 100 basis points was COP 347,248. The variation in the sensitivity of the net interest margin between December 2023 and December 2024 is due to the increase in the sensivity of demand deposits .
On the other hand, the sensitivity to the net interest margin in foreign currency, assuming the same parallel shift of 100 basis points, presented a increase between December 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to increase in demand deposits and time deposits.

Assumptions and Limitations
Net interest income sensitivity analysis is based on the repricing model and considers the following key assumptions: (a) does not consider prepayments for Banistmo, BAM, Bancolombia Panamá, Bancolombia Puerto Rico y Banco Agrícola, new operations, defaults, etc., (b); the fixed rate instruments sensitivity, includes the amounts with maturity lower than one year and assumes these will be disbursed at market interest rates and (c) changes in interest rate occur immediately and parallel in the yield curves from assets and liabilities for different maturities.

Structural equity risk exposure (Banking Book)
Bancolombia’s investment banking affiliate, in its role of financial corporation, holds, directly and through its affiliated companies, structural equity investments. These positions are maintained mostly in the industrial and financial sectors. The market value of those investments decreased by 11.9% during the year, from COP 41,096 million as of December 31, 2023 to COP 36,226 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly, as a result of the reduction in the market value of the investments in Enka Shares.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the inability of a financial firm to meet its debt obligations without incurring unacceptably large losses. Thus, funding liquidity risk is the risk that a firm will not be able to meet its current and future cash flow and collateral needs, both expected and unexpected, without materially affecting its daily operations or overall financial condition. The Bank is sensitive to funding liquidity risk since debt maturity transformation is one of its key business areas.
At the Bank, liquidity prevails over any objective of growth or revenue. Managing liquidity has always been a fundamental pillar of its business strategy, together with capital, in supporting its statement of financial position.
The Bank’s liquidity management model promotes the autonomy of subsidiaries, which must be self-sufficient in their structural funding. Each subsidiary is responsible for meeting the liquidity needs of its current and future activity, within a framework of management coordination at the Bank level. The metrics used to control liquidity risk are developed based on common and homogeneous concepts, but analysis and adaptation are made by each subsidiary.
In line with best governance practices, the Bank has established a clear division of function between executing liquidity management, responsibility of the Asset and Liability Division, and their monitoring and control, responsibility of the Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office.
The different authorities of senior management define the policies and guidelines for managing liquidity risk. These authorities are the Board of Directors, the Risk Committee, and senior management of the Parent Company, which set the risk appetite and define the financial strategy. The ALCO committees (Asset and liability committee) define the objective positioning of liquidity and the strategies that ensure the funding needs derived from businesses. The ALM division (Asset and liability management) and the Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office support the mentioned committees, which elaborate analysis and management proposals, and control compliance with the limits established.
Liquidity Risks Management Office is responsible for proposing the minimum amount of the liquidity reserve, the policies of the liquidity portfolio, defining premises and metrics in order to model the behaviour of the cash flows, proposing and monitoring liquidity limits in line with the Bank's risk appetite, simulating stress scenarios, evaluating and reporting the risks inherent to new products and operations; and submitting the reports required by the internal authorities for decision-making, as well as by regulators. All of the above activities are verified and evaluated by the Internal Audit.
The measures to control liquidity risk include maintaining a portfolio of highly liquid assets, and the definition of triggers and liquidity limits, which enable evaluating the level of exposure of each one of the entities in a proactive way.
The methodologies used to control liquidity risk include the liquidity gaps and stress scenarios. The liquidity gaps measure the mismatches of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet position´s cash flows, separately for local currency and foreign currency. Regulatory metrics are also applied, in which the contractual maturities are used; and internal models in which the cash flows are adjusted by different ratios, to reflect a more accurate behaviour.
F-221


Periodically, a validation of the policies, limits, processes, methodologies and tools to evaluate liquidity risk exposure is performed, in order to establish its pertinence and functionality, and to carry out the necessary adjustments. The Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office elaborate reports daily, weekly and monthly basis in order to monitor the exposure levels and the limits and triggers set up, and to support the decision-making process.
Each subsidiary has its own liquidity contingency plan, which is tested annually. These contingency plans procure the optimization of different funding sources, including obtaining additional funding from the Parent Company.
Liquidity risk management
The Bank’s Board of Directors sets the strategy for managing liquidity risk and delegates responsibility for oversight of the implementation of this policy to ALCO committee that approves the Bank’s liquidity policies and procedures. The Treasury Division manages the Bank’s liquidity position on a day-to-day basis and reviews daily reports covering the liquidity position. A summary report, including any exceptions and remedial action taken, is submitted regularly to Risk Committee and ALCO committees.
a.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
December 31, 2024

Liquidity coverage ratio(1)
    249.58    %
    368.52    %
(1) The minimum level required of the liquidity coverage ratio by the legal norm is 100%.

b.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.

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, 2022, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023.
The Bank has taken the necessary measures to identify and implement the action plans required to address the discontinuation process of the LIBOR rate. The replacement of th LIBOR rate in USD with the SOFR rate was approved by the Asset and Liability Management (ALM) Committee and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. The development of products indexed to the new reference rate (SOFR) has commenced.
The following tables provide a breakdown by currency and nature of financial instruments exposed to the LIBOR rate for the periods ending in December 2023 and December 2024:

Risk
Any failure by market participants, such as the Bank, and regulators to successfully introduce benchmark rates to replace LIBOR and implement effective transitional arrangements to address the discontinuation of LIBOR could result in
F-225


disruption of the financial and capital markets. In addition, the transition process to an alternative reference rate could impact the Bank’s business, financial condition or result of operations, as a result of:
An adverse impact in pricing, liquidity, value, return and trading for a broad array of financial products, loans and derivatives that are included in the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities.
Extensive changes to internal processes and documentation that contain references to LIBOR or use formulas that depend on LIBOR.
The transition and development of appropriate systems and models to effectively transition the Bank’s risk management processes from LIBOR -based products to those based on one or more alternative reference rates in a timely manner; and
An increase in prepayments of LIBOR -linked loans by the Bank’s clients.
From January 2022, products indexed to the SOFR rate began to be offered, additionally it was defined not to carry new operations indexed to the LIBOR rate. In turn, as an organization, we will continue during 2025 on the transition process of operations that are indexed to LIBOR.
Capital management
The Capital Management function oversees Shareholders’ equity and Bancolombia’s capital structure, aiming for value generation through businesses related to financial activities and investments.

The goal is to have the enough capital to cover unexpected losses, and develope the business plan. To do so, the Capital Management area oversees Bancolombia’s capital ratios and uses several mechanisms to optimize such ratios according to forecasted business conditions.

The monitoring of corporate investments and shareholders’ equity, as well as different components of assets and associated risks, is executed for internal and external purposes. The results are presented to the Board of Directors and some support committees to make sure that all risks are properly managed and within risks appetite, guidelines, and regulation.

Bancolombia’s management has the goal of maintaining the balance between an adequate capital allocation and value generation for shareholders. This way, business opportunities can be financed with internal funding or capital markets resources.

Bancolombia’s lending and deposit-taking activities are supervisor by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, and that implies complying with Decree 1477 of 2018.

This decree standardized the definitions of regulatory capital according to Basel III standards. It also updated the risk adjusted capital consumption of assets and added capital buffers. New capital measures will be implemented from the current 4.5% basic solvency level and the 9% total solvency level.

Additionally, Bancolombia conducts stress test to estimate how the bank’s balance sheet, results and ratios during adverse scenarios. None of the stress test runs implies reaching solvency ratios below regulatory levels and therefore, we consider that capital levels are optimal at the end of 2024.

Since 2024, the new capital requirements have been fully implemented, which equate to having a Basic Solvency Ratio (Tier 1 Basic Solvency Index) greater than or equal to 4.5%, an Additional Basic Solvency Ratio greater than or equal to 6%, and a Total Solvency Ratio (Tier 1 + Tier 2) greater than or equal to 9% (considering capital buffers, 11.5%) according to the following formulas:
