BLADEX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME OF $26.3 MILLION
COMPARED WITH $19.2 MILLION FOR THE PRIOR QUARTER.
ROE WAS 16.7%, COMPARED TO 12.6% IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

Panama City, Republic of Panama, July 28, 2008 – Banco Latinoamericano de Exportaciones, S.A. (NYSE: BLX) (“Bladex” or the “Bank”) announced today its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter Business Highlights

 
-
Net income of $26.3 million, an increase of 37% compared to the first quarter 2008, and 3% lower than the second quarter 2007, principally due to lower trading gains.

 
-
Net operating revenue(1) of $36.4 million, an increase of 28% from the first quarter 2008, and unchanged from the second quarter 2007, reflecting strong growth in the Bank’s intermediation business.

 
-
Return on average equity (“ROE”) of 16.7%, compared to 12.6% in the first quarter 2008, and 18.0% in the second quarter 2007.

 
-
Commercial Division’s net operating income(2) was $12.9 million, versus $14.7 million in the previous quarter. Net interest income on lending spreads(3) increased 27% as a result of higher lending spreads(4) (27 bps, or 22%), and a 4% growth on the average commercial portfolio.
 
 
-
Treasury Division’s net operating income was $3.0 million, an increase of $2.0 million compared to the first quarter 2008, and a decrease of $1.1 million from the second quarter 2007 due to lower gains on the sale of securities.
 
-
Asset Management Division’s net operating income was $10.1 million, an increase of $6.5 million from the first quarter 2008, and a decrease of $1.9 million from the second quarter 2007, driven by trading gains.

 
-
As of June 30, 2008, the Bank had zero credit in non-accrual or past due status.
 
 
-
As of June 30, 2008, liquidity(5) stood at $372 million, representing 7% of total assets. During the quarter, deposits increased $379 million (28%) to $1,736 million.
 
-
The Bank’s efficiency ratio(6) was 29%, compared to 32% in the first quarter 2008, and 28% in the second quarter 2007. Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 19%.
 
Mr. Jaime Rivera, Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the quarter’s results: “We are very pleased with the results for the quarter which were solid across all business lines.  This performance demonstrates once more Bladex’s ability to take advantage of a Latin American market that continues to grow, and a business franchise that continues to strengthen.

In broad terms, while we are mindful of both the stress placed on large segments of the financial industry and the implications for the economy as a whole, the current scenario has resulted in opportunities for the Region, which Bladex is uniquely well positioned to realize.

Consistent with this favorable scenario, the Bank’s intermediation business continues to grow, with lending margins widening at an accelerating rate and fee revenue building momentum.  Bladex’s Asset Management Division posted another quarter of solid results, and concerns regarding credit quality within Bladex’s portfolio remain a non-issue.  On the liability side, the Bank’s deposit base increased at the faster pace that we have seen in years, and our liquidity position remains strong.



As satisfied as Bladex is with the current results, we place great importance on the permanent nature of our improving market share, which we believe will continue to benefit the Bank through the next phase of the credit cycle.” 

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Commercial Division incorporates the Bank’s financial intermediation and fee generation activities. Net operating income includes net interest income from loans, fee income, and net allocated operating expenses.

 * Net interest income divided by average balance of interest-earning assets.

Net interest income during the second quarter 2008 reached $20.1 million, a decrease of 5% compared to the previous quarter driven by lower yield on the Bank’s available capital as market interest rates decreased. This factor was partially offset by a larger average loan portfolio and wider lending spreads.

The $3.4 million, or 20%, increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2007 mostly reflects an increased average loan portfolio, and higher lending spreads, partly offset by a lower yield on the Bank’s available capital.
