Cibest Group shines on the Stock Exchange: earns $2.1 billion in the third quarter and its stock appreciates more than 70% in one year

The Cibest Group closed the third quarter of 2025 with results that reaffirm its financial position and market confidence. The organization, which includes Bancolombia, Nequi, Wompi, Wenia, Renting Colombia, Bancoagrícola, Banistmo, Bam, and other complementary businesses, reported profits of 2.1 trillion pesos between July and September, a performance that reflects operational strength and efficient risk management.

These results are mainly explained by the reduction in provisions following the improvement in asset quality. With this result, year-to-date profit amounts to 5.7 trillion, while total assets reached 375 trillion, a 6 percent increase compared to the same period of the previous year.

The group's equity stood at 42 trillion pesos at the end of September, 3.6 percent more than a year ago, confirming the strength of the financial parent company.

“ The results demonstrate the work we do to support the productive fabric of the countries in which we operate and the people with an ecosystem of financial solutions that support their needs, but also show the value we generate for investors, clients, employees and society in general,” highlighted Juan Carlos Mora, president of Grupo Cibest and Bancolombia.

The holding company's strong financial performance is also reflected in the stock market performance of its shares. Since the announcement of its corporate transformation into Grupo Cibest last October, the shares have been among the most liquid on the Colombian market.

The common stock has appreciated by nearly 70 percent, the preferred stock by around 65 percent, and the ADR traded on the New York Stock Exchange has risen by more than 85 percent. In addition, the company has executed approximately 27 percent of its share buyback program, with more than seven million shares repurchased across common, preferred, and ADR stocks.

This stock market performance has benefited the group's more than 51,000 shareholders, who have seen the value of their investment grow in one of the most active periods of the Colombian Stock Exchange (BVC) in recent years.

Beyond financial indicators, the Cibest Group stands out for its role in financing various productive sectors. As of September, its consolidated portfolio totaled 280 trillion pesos, of which 76 percent corresponds to Colombia and the remainder to Central America.

Through its subsidiaries, the bank has supported projects focused on growth, innovation, employment, and quality of life. In this context, Bancolombia has disbursed 18 billion pesos in Chocó through the "Soy Chocó Mipyme" line of credit from the National Guarantee Fund (FNG), which aims to facilitate access to formal credit for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises across all sectors, including primary agriculture.

The entity is the main financial intermediary for this program, which allocated 28 billion pesos to the department. These resources have boosted activities in agriculture, commerce, tourism, construction, the informal economy, handicrafts, and green businesses, reducing dependence on informal credit and promoting financial inclusion.

The initiative has also had a social impact: it has opened up economic opportunities for women, young people and ethnic communities, and has contributed to preventing forced migration and violence, strengthening the productive fabric of the Colombian Pacific.

The agricultural sector, key to the group's sustainability strategy, is also showing results. This year alone, Bancolombia has disbursed more than 262 billion pesos to Hass avocado producers , one of the products with the greatest potential in the country's agricultural export basket.

The agricultural loan portfolio balance exceeds one trillion pesos, and the resources are allocated to working capital and investment, accompanied by specialized advice, insurance and support for international operations.

“Our commitment to Colombian agriculture is broad: we seek to be strategic partners that drive innovation and internationalization in the sector. Avocados are an example of how, with comprehensive support, we can open new opportunities for producers and strengthen the country's competitiveness,” stated Mauricio Rosillo, Vice President of Business at Bancolombia.

The group's progress is also supported by its digital ecosystem. Nequi already has over 26 million customers, 80 percent of whom are active users, while Wompi supports more than 42,000 businesses and Wenia, specializing in digital assets, serves more than 22,000 clients in Colombia.

To strengthen its technological infrastructure, Grupo Cibest will invest more than 763 billion this year in digital channels, cybersecurity and risk management.

In terms of savings, the group has 281 trillion pesos in deposits, with an annual growth of 8.3 percent, reflecting the confidence of clients in its ability to safeguard and manage resources.
