| (1) | In March 2022, Banco de Bogotá completed the spin-off of 75% of its equity interest in BHI resulting in the loss of control of the previously consolidated subsidiary. Income statement information presented under financial and operating data refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted. |
| (2) | Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by the total average interest-earning assets of continuing operations. Net interest margin including net trading income is calculated as the sum of net interest income and net trading income, divided by the sum of the total average interest-earning assets and average fixed income and equity trading assets. Average interest-earning assets for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as the sum of interest-earning assets for continuing operations at each quarter-end during the applicable year and the prior year end divided by five. Average fixed income and equity trading assets for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as the sum of fixed income and equity trading assets for continuing operations at each quarter-end during the applicable year and the prior year end divided by five. |
| (3) | For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, ROAA is calculated as net income divided by consolidated average assets. Consolidated average assets for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as the sum of consolidated assets at each quarter-end during the applicable year and the prior year end divided by five. |
| (4) | For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, ROAE is calculated as net income attributable to owners of the parent divided by consolidated average equity attributable to owners of the parent. Consolidated average equity attributable to owners of the parent for 2024, 2023 and 2022 is calculated as the sum of consolidated equity attributable to owners of the parent at each quarter-end during the applicable year end and the prior year end divided by five. |
| (5) | Our cost to income ratio is calculated as Other Expenses (see Note 30 of our audited consolidated financial statements), divided by total income before net impairment losses on financial assets (defined as the sum of net interest income, net income from commissions and fees, gross profit (loss) from sales of goods and services, net trading (loss) income, net income from other financial instruments mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss “FVTPL” and other income). Our cost to assets ratio is calculated as Other expenses divided by consolidated average assets. Consolidated average assets for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as the sum of consolidated assets at each quarter-end during the applicable year and the prior year end divided by five. |
| (6) | Tangible equity ratio is calculated as total equity minus intangible assets (calculated as goodwill plus other intangible assets, excluding those related to concession arrangements rights, Ps 14,314.6 billion in 2024, Ps 13,557.3 billion in 2023 and Ps 13,242.7 billion in 2022) divided by total assets minus intangible assets (as defined before). |
| (7) | Gross loans for continuing operations exclude interbank and overnight funds of continuing operations (Ps 705.1 billion in 2024, Ps 392.6 billion in 2023 and Ps 5,967.7 billion in 2022) as these are short-term liquidity operations generally not subject to deterioration. Average gross loans for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as the sum of gross loans at each quarter-end during the applicable year and the prior year end divided by five. Total gross loan portfolio includes Interbank and overnight funds. Throughout this document charge-offs and write-offs refer to the same concept. |
| (8) | Impairment (loss) on loans and other accounts receivable, net refers to Impairment (loss) on loans and other accounts receivable minus Recovery of charged-off financial assets. |
| (9) | Reflects the aggregated customers of our banking subsidiaries. Customers of more than one of our Colombian banking subsidiaries and MFG are counted separately for each banking subsidiary. |
| (10) | Number of employees of continuing operations is defined as the sum of direct, temporary and outsourced personnel in financial entities (40,710 in 2024, 41,923 in 2023 and 45,122 in 2022), call-centers (7,437 in 2024, 7,255 in 2023 and 7,840 in 2022) and employees of non-financial entities of Corficolombiana (22,124 in 2024, 24,858 in 2023 and 24,081 in 2022). |
| (11) | Reflects the aggregated number of full-service branches or ATMs of our Colombian banking subsidiaries and MFG, as applicable, located throughout Colombia and Panama. |
ROAA and ROAE
ROAA, which is calculated as net income divided by consolidated average assets, provides a measure of return on assets. ROAE, which is calculated as net income attributable to owners of the parent, divided by consolidated average equity attributable to owners of the parent, provides a measure of the total return generated from our company and our subsidiaries for shareholders. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest divided by net income provides an indication of non-controlling interest ownership of Grupo Aval’s consolidated subsidiaries’ net income, where a higher ratio typically implies that higher net income was generated in subsidiaries in which Grupo Aval has lower ownerships and vice versa.
