| Disclosure of risk management [text block] | NOTE 4 – RISK MANAGEMENT Grupo Aval and its subsidiaries in the financial sector, Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco AV Villas, Banco Popular, Corficolombiana, Porvenir, Aval Fiduciaria and Aval Casa de Bolsa manage risk pursuant to the applicable regulations in each country where they operate and according to Grupo Aval’s policies. The risk framework requires that strong risk management practices are integrated in the key processes across Grupo Aval with a goal of ensuring risks are appropriately considered, evaluated and responded to in a timely manner. Grupo Aval employs a risk management process that aims to identify, measure, monitor and control, as part of the daily activities, all the risks that Grupo Aval is exposed to. Three lines model: in addition to the roles of Executive Officers in managing risk, management has ownership and accountability across the three lines of defense: (1) First Line: Business Units, (2) Second Line: mainly concentrated in the Independent Risk Management units and (3) Third line: Corporate Audit.
The following sections outline the key financial risks that are inherent to the business activities of the subsidiaries: Financial risks
Additionally, the risk areas are responsible for supporting capital management by determining risk levels of the calculation of capital adequacy requirements, impact assessment of the risk materialization on compliance with capital levels and determining the levels of risk appetite. Objective and general guidelines of financial risk management Grupo Aval’s and its subsidiaries of the financial sector objective is to maximize returns for its investors through strong risk management. The guiding principles of risk management at Grupo Aval are as follows:
Main premises for risk management Grupo Aval´s risk culture is based on the principles indicated in the section above, which are transmitted to all subsidiaries of the financial sector and business units. The strategy related to risk management is supported by the following guidelines:

| Disclosure of risk management, credit risk [text block] | Financial Risk Review 4.1 Credit Risk 4.1.1 Consolidated Credit Risk Exposure Grupo Aval´s subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk, consisting of the risk of financial loss as a result of a failure of a debtor to meet their contractual obligations in financial transactions on a timely and complete manner. Exposure to credit risk for Grupo Aval and its subsidiaries is a result of credit activities and transactions with counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk of Grupo Aval, at a consolidated level is reflected in the carrying value of financial assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial position of Grupo Aval as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 as follows:
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. (2) Not including funds in the entity’s custody (cash, tellers, vaults), because there is no credit risk regarding Grupo Aval entities. See Note 4.1.3 h. (3) See details in note 4.1.3. (4) See details in note 4.1.3 g. (5) See Note 12.1 “Financial assets in concession arrangements”. (6) See details in note 4.1.9. With regard to guarantees and commitments to extend credit amounts, the maximum credit risk exposure is the amount of a commitment. Credit risk is mitigated by guarantees and collaterals as described in note 4.1.4 Mitigation of Credit Risk, Collateral and Other Credit Risk Enhancements. Each of Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries assume the credit risk for both the credit activities, which includes commercial, consumer, mortgage and microcredit credit lending, and treasury activities including interbank loans, investment portfolio management, derivatives and foreign currency trading activities among others. Despite being independent businesses, the nature of insolvency risk of a borrower or counterparty is similar and therefore the criteria in which they are evaluated is similar. 4.1.1.A. Loan portfolio disclosure Loans are recorded at amortized cost in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and are classified as commercial, consumer, residential mortgage, microcredit, interbank and overnight funds. The following table presents the portfolio balances, provision balances and net value portfolio by line of business: December 31, 2025
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. December 31, 2024
4.1.1.B Loan portfolio given as collateral As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no portfolio operations delivered as collateral in resource auction operations with Banco República. 4.1.2 Loan and Counterparty Approval Process for subsidiaries in the financial sector The principles and rules for credit management and credit risk for each financial subsidiary are contained in the corresponding manuals, both for commercial banking activities and treasury activities. Evaluation criteria to measure credit risk follows the principal instructions set forth by the Treasury and Credit Risk Committees. The maximum authority regarding lending is the Board of Directors for each bank, which approves the general policy and has the capacity to approve large size transactions. In the normal banking operation, authorizations for approval of loans and lines of credit depend on the amounts, credit quality, tenor and security collateral or guarantees offered by the client. The Board of Directors of each subsidiary has delegated part of its lending authorities to different committees and executives who process the credit requests and are responsible for the analysis and credit review. Additionally, for the approval of credits, certain considerations are considered including but not limited to the probability of default, the recovery percentage of guarantees received, current customer exposure and tenor & concentration by economic sector. Regarding treasury operations, the Boards of Directors approve lines of credit for counterparties. Risk control is essentially carried out through three mechanisms: periodic approval of lines of credit, evaluation of the conditions of the issuers at least annually and a report on concentrations for each client or economic group. Although each financial subsidiary is responsible for its credit decisions and risk management, Grupo Aval as the holding entity, oversees the implementation of appropriate risk management controls at the financial subsidiaries through the Corporate Risk Unit. The holding’s risk management staff meets on a periodically basis to discuss Grupo Aval subsidiaries’ loan portfolio, developments in industry, risks and opportunities. Additionally, Grupo Aval through the Credit Projects Unit reviews credit exposures approved by the Group's financial entities, in accordance with guidelines established based on financial indicators, group exposure limits, economic sectors and other relevant criteria. This process was designed to effectively leverage the combined equity of its Banks and support the proper identification and management of potential risk issues. Each subsidiary of the financial sector has a Credit Risk Management System, which is managed by the risk vice-presidency or its equivalent, and includes, among others, the design, implementation and evaluation of policies and risk mechanisms defined by the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors of each entity. The operation of the Credit Risk Management System has resulted in the integration of risk measurement tools into the credit approval process in each of the financial subsidiaries. Each subsidiary of the financial sector in Colombia primarily uses two models for evaluating credit risk for the approval of commercial loans. The first is the financial ratings model, which consists of statistical models based on the client´s financial information, which are used in the approval process and for portfolio management and monitoring. The second model is based on the client´s financial ratings and their historical payment behavior with the bank, used in the customer credit risk grade. For retail loans (including mortgage loans and auto loans) models are based on product line characteristic, sociodemographic variables and the historical payment behavior of the clients with the bank and the financial sector, among others. As a result of the changes caused by the national and international economic and political situation, periodically review and analyze whether it is necessary to adjust origination strategies, along with approved debt limits in accordance with individual risk analysis, especially for customers identified in high-risk sectors, segments, credit lines and among others. 4.1.3 Credit quality analysis The Credit-risk Monitoring Process and Credit rating of the loan portfolio The monitoring process and credit risk review of each financial subsidiary is carried out in several steps including portfolio analysis by vintages, risk level rating, permanent high-risk clients’ review, restructuring processes of operations and the receipt of foreclosed assets as payment. Periodically the financial subsidiaries classify each client in one of these risk categories: Category Normal, Acceptable, Appreciable, Significant and Non - recoverability, based on the statistical models that each subsidiary has. In addition, each bank evaluates the commercial portfolio by economic sectors, where macro-sectors are evaluated with the purpose of monitoring the concentration per economic sector and the risk level of each one. At least once a year, each financial subsidiary carries out an individual analysis of credit risk based on updated financial information of the client, payment record, collateral security/guarantees received, credit bureau reports and other qualitative information available; based on the information, clients are classified by risk level as mentioned above. Each risk category is explained as follows:
(*) Probability of default – “PD” is the probability that the counterpart defaults in their payment obligations of capital and/or interest. For mortgage loans and microcredits, the previous classification by risk levels is carried out monthly considering the number of days past due. In addition, the credit risk exposure is managed through a periodic analysis of the borrowers (or potential borrowers) to determine the repayment capacity of capital and interest. The credit risk exposure is also mitigated partly by obtaining collateral security, corporate and personal guarantees. The following table sets out information about the credit quality of financial assets measured at amortized cost. Unless specifically indicated, for financial assets, the amounts in the table represent gross carrying amounts. For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the amounts in the table represent the amounts committed or guaranteed, respectively. Based on the foregoing classifications, each financial subsidiary establishes and executes collection strategies directed at maximizing the collection of the loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the following is a summary of the most representative credit portfolio by probability of default. Explanation of the terms: Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 are included in Note 2 (2.5) (ix) and explained in detail in Note 4.1.5 (Measurement of Expected Credit Loss). Total Portfolio

Credit quality of financial assets (excluding loan portfolio) The following is the breakdown of the different financial assets excluding loan portfolio, by credit risk level and type of issuer based on the rating issued by the independent credit ratings agency. A financial asset is considered investment grade if its credit rating is BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor's or Fitch Ratings scale, Baa3 or higher by Moody's scale, F3 or higher by Fitch Ratings Colombia S.A or BRC3 or higher by BRC of Colombia. Otherwise, the financial asset is considered speculative.

Evaluated using general approach The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk for other accounts receivable and contract assets for corporate customers as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The credit quality of these financial assets follows the methodology of the probability of default of debt securities and other liquid financial assets (See note 4.1.5).

(2) During 2025, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the Government of Colombia’s rating from BBB- to BB+, which meant that the risk level shifted from investment grade to speculative.
(1) Sovereign credit rating is considered as the risk of the Treasury issuer or a similar agency (government debt portfolio). The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk by segment for accounts receivable related to gas and energy services, the methodology used to estimate the ECLs is the same used for Loan and Receivable (See note 4.1.5).
Evaluated using simplified approach Grupo Aval uses a probability matrix to measure the ECL for other receivables from individual customers, which have small balances. The weighted-average loss rate is calculated using a “rolling rate” method based on the probability that a receivable will progress through successive stages of default until write off. The rolling rate is calculated for exposures in different segments and separately in accordance with the following common features of credit risk. The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets from individual customers as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A.
The loss rates are based on the experience of real credit loss during a year and the balance of accounts receivable at the cut-off date for previously defined homogeneous segments. It takes into consideration elements such as: segmentation by type of receivable account, date of analysis, definition of loss, among others. Based on the characteristics of the short-term receivable accounts, these portfolios result from operations where there are no non-linear impacts, therefore, the application of macroeconomic scenarios is not considered.
The details of credit rating determined by independent credit rating agents of counterparties in trading derivatives and hedge derivatives in active position are as follows:
The following table shows an analysis of counterparty credit exposures that arise from derivative transactions. Transactions derived from Grupo Aval are generally fully guaranteed with cash: Trading derivatives
Hedging derivatives
Derivative transactions of Grupo Aval are collateralized by cash of Ps. (378,080) as of December 31, 2025, and of Ps. (246,003) as of December 31, 2024, see note 4.1.10 “Offset of financial assets and liabilities”.
Grupo Aval held cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 19,354,710 as of December 31, 2025 (2024: Ps. 16,998,859). The cash and cash equivalents are held in central banks and financial institution counterparties. The following table shows an analysis of counterparty credit exposures:
(1) Cash held by each Grupo Aval’s bank in custody in vaults, ATMs and cash. (2) During 2025, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the Government of Colombia’s rating from BBB- to BB+, which meant that the risk level shifted from investment grade to speculative.

The existence of collateral security or guarantees can be a requirement but not a determining factor in approval of a credit. Credit risk policies of Grupo Aval require an evaluation of the debtor’s payment capacity based on the debtor´s ability to generate the resources needed for the timely and complete payment of their obligations. Credit risk management includes the following activities:
The methods used for the evaluation of collateral security / guarantees are aligned with the market practices and include the use of independent real estate appraisers or the market value of securities. All collateral security / guarantees must be legally evaluated and drafted following the parameters of applicable legal regulations. Mortgage lending The following tables classify credit exposures for mortgage loans and advances to retail customers by ranges of loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. LTV is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount of the loan – or the amount of the loan commitments – to the value of the collateral. The value of the collateral for mortgage loans is based on the collateral value at origination updated based on changes in housing price indices.

In assessing whether a borrower is in default, Grupo Aval considers indicators as follows:
Inputs used in the assessment of whether a financial instrument is in default may vary over time to reflect changes in circumstances. Inputs, assumptions and techniques used to estimate expected credit loss allowance Credit risk models measure the exposure for individual counterparties, based on the following parameters: probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD). For a specific credit facility (loans, debt securities, other liquid financial assets, other accounts receivable, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts) the product of these three parameters results in the expected credit loss. See accounting policy in Note 2 (2.5 ix). Measurement of ECL The measurement of expected credit losses is a calculation that involves an important number of interrelated inputs and assumptions, such as the financial asset’s probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, which are modelled based on macroeconomic variables. Furthermore, the determination of the ECL requires the application of expert credit judgment to assess the current situation. As mentioned above, the key inputs for the measurement of ECLs are usually the following variables:
The estimation of these parameters depends on the credit facility. Loans and receivables methodology uses information derived from internally developed statistical models, comprising both quantitative and qualitative factors, and other historical data. On the other hand, debt securities methodology incorporates relevant external market information or international credit ratings. PD is the probability that a counterparty defaults in its payment obligations of capital and/or interest. Credit risk grades are the primary input in the determination of the term structure of PD for exposures. Grupo Aval collects performance and default information about its credit risk exposures analyzed by jurisdiction or region, by type of product and borrower, and by credit risk grade. For some portfolios, information purchased from external credit bureaus may also be used. Grupo Aval employs statistical models to analyze the data collected and generates estimates of the remaining lifetime PD of exposures and how these are expected to change as a result of the passage of time. LGD is an estimate of the loss arising at default, which is computed as a percentage of exposure that the entity ultimately expects to lose in the event of a default in a financial instrument. Grupo Aval estimates LGD parameters based on the history of recovery rates of claims against defaulted counterparties. The LGD models considers the collateral structure, seniority of the claim, counterparty industry and recovery costs of any collateral that is integral to the financial asset. For loans secured/ guaranteed by real estate, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios will be a key parameter in determining LGD. Estimates are calibrated for different economic scenarios and, for real estate lending, to reflect possible changes in property prices. The EAD represents the expected exposure in the event of default. Grupo Aval derives the EAD from the current exposure to the counterparty and potential changes to the current amount allowed under the contract, including amortization and prepayments. The EAD of a financial asset is the gross carrying amount at default. For lending commitments and financial guarantees, the EAD considers the amount drawn, as well as potential future amounts that may be drawn or repaid under the contract, which are estimated based on historical observations and forward-looking forecasts. Subject to using the Lifetime PD for financial assets for which credit risk has significantly increased, Grupo Aval measures ECLs considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period (including any borrower’s extension options) over which there is exposure to credit risk, even if for risk management purposes, Grupo Aval considers a longer period. The maximum contractual period extends to the date at which Grupo Aval has the right to require repayment of an advance or terminate a loan commitment or guarantee. For retail overdrafts, credit cards, and certain corporate revolving facilities that include both a loan and an undrawn commitment component, Grupo Aval measures ECLs over a period longer than the maximum contractual period if Grupo Aval’s contractual ability to demand repayment and cancel the undrawn commitment does not limit Grupo Aval’s exposure to credit losses to the contractual notice period. These facilities do not have a fixed term or repayment structure and are managed on a collective basis. Grupo Aval can cancel them with immediate effect, but the contractual right is not enforced in the normal day-to-day management, but rather when Grupo Aval becomes aware of an increase in credit risk of a particular facility. This period is estimated considering the credit risk management actions that Grupo Aval expects to mitigate ECLs. These include a reduction in the limits and the cancellation of the credit. Where modelling of a parameter is carried out on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared risk characteristics that include:
The groups are subject to regular review to ensure that exposures within a particular group remain appropriately homogeneous. In addition, for significant impaired loans, allowance estimates are made through individual evaluation based on quantitative criteria, such as the methods contemplated in IFRS 9 of discounted cash flow and fair value of the guarantee, and qualitative criteria that involve knowledge of the customer's current situation, the environment in which it carries out its activities, legal or bankruptcy proceedings and expert judgment, among other aspects. Credit Risk Model: Loans and receivables I. Transitions between stages Significant Increase in Credit Risk When determining whether the credit risk (i.e. risk of default) of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, Grupo Aval considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort, including both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on Grupo Aval’s historical experience, expert credit assessment and forward-looking information. The following criteria are used to determine if a significant increase in credit risk has occurred:
The criteria for determining whether credit risk has increased significantly will vary by portfolio and will include a backstop based on delinquency. Grupo Aval will monitor the effectiveness of the criteria used in identifying significant increases in credit risk through regular reviews to confirm that:
II. PD – Probability of Default Term structure of PD Credit risk grades are the primary input in the determination of the term structure of PD for exposures. Grupo Aval collects performance and default information about its credit risk exposures by type of product and borrower, and by credit risk grade. For some portfolios, information purchased from external credit bureaus may also be used. Grupo Aval employs statistical models to analyze the data collected and generates estimates of the remaining lifetime PD of exposures and how these are expected to change as a result of the passage of time. This analysis includes the identification and calibration of the relation between changes in default rates and changes in key macro-economic factors, as well as an in-depth analysis of the impact of certain other factors (e.g. cancellations) on the risk of default. For exposures to specific industries and/or regions, the analysis may extend to relevant commodity and/ or real estate prices. For stage 1 the PD estimates the probability that the credit will default in the next 12 months, while the PD in stage 2 is the result of the probabilities for the remaining life of the credit. The probability in Stage 3 is defined as 100%. Grupo Aval’s approach to incorporating forward-looking information into this assessment is discussed below. Forward-Looking Information Grupo Aval incorporates forward-looking information into both its assessment of whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition and its measurement of ECLs. Grupo Aval formulates a ‘base case’ view of the future direction of relevant economic variables and a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios based on forecasts provided by economic experts and considering a forecast of multiple variables. This process involves developing two or more additional economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome. The B scenario (base case) represents a most-likely outcome. It is aligned with information used by Grupo Aval for other purposes, such as budgeting. The other scenarios represent more optimistic (C) and more pessimistic (A) outcomes with their respective probability of occurrence. Grupo Aval has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses for each portfolio of financial instruments and, using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationships between macro-economic variables and risks and credit losses. Changes in economic conditions will be monitored by Grupo Aval´s Entities and subsidiaries to be incorporated into the macroeconomic parameters used to prepare stress scenarios and financial projections. Forward looking information was adjusted, recognizing macroeconomic impacts based on the available information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions. The following table presents one-year projections for Colombia made in December 2024, compared to the official data for December 2025.

(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. Credit Risk Rating Grupo Aval allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data intended to be predictive of the probability of default and applying experienced credit judgment. Grupo Aval uses these grades with the purpose identifying significant increases in credit risk. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default. These factors may vary depending on the nature of the exposure and the type of borrower. Each exposure is allocated to a credit risk grade at initial recognition based on available information about the borrower. Exposures are subject to ongoing monitoring, which may result in an exposure being moved to a different credit risk grade. The monitoring typically involves using of the following data.
III. LGD – Loss Given Default LGD is a measure of the likely loss in the event of a default. To estimate LGD, Grupo Aval uses information of the collateral security / guarantee which covers each individual credit, when available. In any case, Grupo Aval uses historical and forward-looking information (the same information described above in II. PD – Probability of Default - Forward-Looking Information) to estimate the expected potential recovery in case of a default. The LGD is estimated in groups by type of credit, collateral security / guarantee or maturity. IV. EAD – Exposure at Default EAD represents the expected exposure from a counterparty at the time of a possible default. For stage 2 Grupo Aval incorporates in the analysis of the exposure at default the probability of payments and increase in exposure during the lifetime of the credit. These probabilities are estimated using the historical information collected by the financial subsidiaries and are grouped by type of product. The probabilities are constantly reviewed in order to accurately estimate them and calibrate them. Credit Risk Model: Debt securities and other liquid financial assets This model estimates the impairment of credit risk in debt securities. In general, at the moment of inception, all financial assets originate ECLs for the next 12 months. If credit risk increases significantly and there is enough objective evidence of increase of probability of default, then the reserve is adjusted for the remaining life of the financial asset. I. Transition between stages A financial asset is classified as a low credit risk asset if the issuer is related to an investment grade credit rating. Financial assets different than low credit risk must be evaluated individually. The first step in the methodology consist in evaluating a significant increase in credit risk by comparing the current status against the status at initial recognition of the security. External elements related to a significant increase in credit risk are detailed below:
If the financial asset loses its low credit risk condition or if changes in external environment results in a review of the condition, then this probably shows a significant increase in credit risk. Consequently, the financial asset will be analyzed to determine if there is a significant increase of credit risk (stage 2) or if the asset should be classified as stage 3. Objective evidence of impairment is the second step in making changes between stages. It is concluded that there is objective evidence of impairment if one the following situations is met:
II. PD – Probability of default PD depends on the external credit rating of the issuance, issuer or counterparty. Credit rating information is published by international credit rating corporations, such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings, or national credit rating corporations, such as Fitch Ratings Colombia S.A. or BRC. In any case, international ratings have priority over national ratings. Credit ratings from S&P have priority over the other rating corporations. If the issuance, issuer or counterparty is not rated by S&P, credit ratings from Moody’s or Fitch Ratings can be used but they must be translated to the S&P rating scale. The order of priority in credit rating corporations is as follows: S&P in first place, Moody’s in second place and Fitch Ratings in the third one. The reason for choosing this hierarchy is to avoid discretion at the time of assigning a rating. National credit ratings can be used only if international credit ratings are not available, and the translation condition to the S&P rating scale must be followed as well. For financial assets classified as stage 1, PD correspond to the probability of default for the next 12 months established in accordance to “Cumulative Default Rates by Rating Modifiers” for both sovereign and corporate issuers, expressed at an annual basis. If the remaining life of the assets is less than 12 months, the resulting PD will correspond to the weighted 12 months-PD with the remaining life of the financial asset. For financial assets classified as stage 2, lifetime PD must be used and computed using the “Cumulative Default Rates by Rating Modifiers” for both sovereign and corporate issuers, expressed at an annual basis and according to the term of each flow. For financial assets classified as stage 3, lifetime PD will equal 100% for any issuance, issuer or counterparty. The PD value tables are made available and published annually by S&P Global Ratings in the reports “2024 Annual Global Sovereign Default and Rating Transition Study” and “2024 Annual Global Corporate Default and Rating Transition Study”, as of December 31, 2025, as well as in the reports “2023 Annual Global Sovereign Default and Rating Transition Study” and “2023 Annual Global Corporate Default and Rating Transition Study” as of December 31,2024. Forward-Looking Information Grupo Aval incorporates forward-looking information into its assessment of whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition and its measurement of ECL. This information will directly affect the PD and the stage classification. When rating the sovereign and corporate issuers, credit ratings agencies incorporate prospective information, as well as forecasting of macroeconomic variables and the influence of these factors over the business conditions. Grupo Aval’s methodology includes external credit ratings which, under the previous argument, have already considered prospective information. Furthermore, credit ratings are also subject to rating outlooks which can modify the current credit ratings. Details are provided below. Rating outlooks are published by credit rating corporations and reflect the perspective of the potential long-term credit rating over the next 6 to 24 months.
III. LGD – Loss given default LGD is a measure of the potential loss if a default scenario occurs. To establish the LGD, Grupo Aval’s methodology uses information published by Moody’s credit rating corporation. LGD is based on relevant external default data, such as the historical recovery rates, which is defined as the complement of LGD calculation. Moody’s computes Recovery Rates as the ratio between market prices after 30 days of the default or the debt swap price at the closing date, and the market price of the issuance at the beginning of the default. In the case of unavailable market prices, recovery rates will be the resulting ratio between present value of expected cash flows of the new instruments received with the debt swap and the present value of the initial instruments. Grupo Aval´s methodology assigns weights for recovery rates for Sovereigns Debt and Corporates Debt. Sovereign Debt recovery rates remained at 53% in 2025, also Corporate Debt recovery rates increased moderately from 46.9% in 2024 to 47% in 2025. Additional information is available and published annually by Moody’s in the reports “Sovereign Default and Recovery Rates, 1983–2024” and “Annual Default Study: Corporate Default Rate to Fall Below Its Long-Term Average in 2025” as of December 31, 2025, and in the reports “Annual Default Study: Corporate Default Rate to Moderate in 2024 but Remain Near Its Long-Term Average” and “Sovereign Default and Recovery Rates, 1983–2023” as of December 31, 2024. IV. EAD – Exposure at default EAD represents the amount owed from a counterparty at the time of a possible default and only for securities classified at amortized cost or FVOCI. See accounting policy in Note 2 (2.5 ix). For stage 1 and stage 3 financial assets, EAD will correspond to the full valuation of the assets at amortized cost. For stage 2 financial assets, EAD will consider the financial asset amortized scheme assuming no default in the previous years. In the case that financial assets present a guarantees or security collateral, these could reduce total EAD. This is a typical case of collateralized interbank loans. Credit Risk Model: Other accounts receivable Grupo Aval uses two approaches to estimate ECL of financial assets classified as other accounts receivables. The first one is the simplified approach where Grupo Aval uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from individual customers, which comprise a very large number of small amounts. Loss rates are calculated using a ‘roll rate’ method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write-off. Roll rates are calculated separately for exposures in different segments based on the following common credit risk characteristics like type of product purchased. Loss rates are based on the experience of real credit loss during a year and the balance of accounts receivable at the cut-off date for previously defined homogeneous segments. It takes into consideration elements such as: segmentation by type of receivable account, date of analysis, definition of loss, among others. Based on the characteristics of the short-term receivable accounts, these portfolios result from operations where there are no non-linear impacts, therefore, the application of macroeconomic scenarios is not considered. The second one is the general approach, it considers the methodologies explained above for loans and debt securities. For non-financial companies in the oil and gas sector, the loans methodology is considered, while the debt securities methodology is considered for government and other government related entities.

The exposure limit by a financial subsidiary of Grupo Aval to an individual client or economic group depends on the risk profile of the client (or economic group), the nature of the risk of the debtor and the experience of each financial subsidiary in a specific market or sector. Concentration risk control is key to the risk management process. Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries monitor the degree of credit risk concentration by sector and individual or group customer. In order to avoid credit risk concentration at Grupo Aval level, management relies on the financial subsidiaries Credit Risk Unit or its equivalent, which consolidates, and monitors the credit risk exposures of all financial subsidiaries, to determine the maximum levels of concentration. Pursuant to Colombian regulations, in 2024 financial subsidiaries in Colombia cannot grant unsecured loans to borrowers, which on a combined basis exceed 10% of the financial subsidiary´s regulatory capital (patrimonio técnico, by its name in Spanish language) calculated according to the definitions of the Ministry of Finance. Loans maybe more than 10% of the regulatory capital (patrimonio técnico) of the financial subsidiary when they are secured by acceptable collateral and/or certain guarantees. In 2025, a new regulation went into effect modifying the regime relating to large exposures and legal credit limits, so banks in Colombia generally cannot have exposures with a counterparty or connected group of counterparties that exceed 25% of the bank's regulatory capital Tier 1 (patrimonio básico ordinario, by its name in Spanish language + patrimonio básico adicional, by its name in Spanish language) calculated in accordance with the definitions of the Ministry of Finance. Concentration by sector Below is the credit portfolio distribution of Grupo Aval by economic sector as of December 31, 2025, and 2024:
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. Concentration by country The detail of credit risk at the level of Grupo Aval in the different geographic areas determined according to the domicile of the debtor, without taking into consideration loan loss provisions as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 is as follows:
(1) The decrease corresponds to the reclassification to Non-Current Assets Held for Sale of Multi Financial Group operation as of December 31, 2025, see note 13.A.
Concentration by currency The classification of loan portfolio by type of currency is as follows:
(1) The decrease corresponds to the reclassification to Non-Current Assets Held for Sale of Multi Financial Group operation as of December 31, 2025, see note 13.A.
As of December 31, 2025, the loan portfolio in foreign currency represents 9.2% of the total portfolio, equivalent to US$ 4,699 million. As of December 31, 2024, the loan portfolio in foreign currency represents 18.4%, equivalent to US$ 8,349 million. Investment debt securities Grupo Aval entities monitor concentrations of credit risk by sector and by geographic location. An analysis of concentrations of credit risk from investment securities is shown below. Concentration by sector Trading debt securities (see note 8.1) The balance of financial assets in investments in trading debt securities includes the following as of December 31, 2025, and 2024:

Concentration by Sovereign Debt As a general rule, Grupo Aval considers sovereign risk to be the risk assumed in deposits with Central Banks (including the mandatory deposits), investments in debt issues of a Colombian Government. In addition, the risk arising from transactions with public sector entities that have the following features: their funds are obtained only from fiscal income, they are legally recognized as entities directly included in the government sector, and their activities are of a non-commercial nature. Sovereign risk exposure arises mainly from Grupo Aval’s banking subsidiaries obligations to maintain certain mandatory deposits in Central Banks and from the fixed-income portfolios held as part of the on-balance-sheet structural interest rate risk management strategy and in the trading books of the treasury department. Most of these exposures are denominated in pesos and are financed through peso denominated repurchase agreements or customer deposits. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the investment portfolio of financial assets in debt instruments is comprised mainly of securities issued or secured by entities of the Republic of Colombia, which represent 79.90% and 72.58%, respectively of the total portfolio. Below is the detail of Grupo Aval’s sovereign debt portfolio issued by Central Governments per country:
Below is the detail of Grupo Aval’s debt portfolio issued by Central Banks:
(1) Investment grade includes Fitch Ratings Colombia S.A. risk ratings from F1+ to F3, BRC de Colombia ratings from BRC 1+ to BRC 3, and Standard & Poor’s ratings from AAA to BBB–. 4.1.7 Modified Financial Assets - troubled debt restructuring business process. Each financial subsidiary of Grupo Aval periodically carries out, at the request of the client, restructurings of obligations. Such restructurings generally consist of extensions of tenors, decrease of interest rates, partial write-off of indebtedness or payment with assets of the debtor or guarantor. Our banking subsidiaries follow highly rigorous definitions and policies in this management process, so that it is performed in accordance with the best practices and in strict compliance with regulatory requirements. In connection to this, Grupo Aval´s banking subsidiaries have a detailed policy with regard to the aforementioned transactions. The objective of granting such restructurings is to provide the client with a viable alternative to meet its obligations to the bank and to adapt to changing conditions. When a loan is restructured due to a debtor´s financial difficulties, the debt is flagged within the records of each bank as a restructured credit in accordance with the regulations of the Superintendency of Finance. The restructuring process has a negative impact on the debtor’s rating, which can only be improved when the client has complied during a prudent period with the terms of the restructurings, its financial condition has improved or when sufficient additional guarantees have been obtained. Restructured loans are included for impairment evaluation and determination of provisions. However, the marking of a credit as restructured does not necessarily imply its rating is impaired, because in some cases new guarantees are obtained supporting the obligation. The following is the balance of restructured loans as of December 31, 2025, and 2024:
(1) The decrease corresponds to the reclassification to Non-Current Assets Held for Sale of Multi Financial Group operation as of December 31, 2025, see note 13.A. 4.1.8 Foreclosed assets business process When persuasive collection processes or credit restructurings are not effective, a legal proceeding is carried out or an agreement is reached with the client for the receipt of assets as payment. Each subsidiary of the financial sector has clearly established policies for receiving assets and has a separate department specialized in the management of these cases and in charge of their eventual sale or liquidation. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the following is the total of foreclosed assets received and sold during such periods:
4.1.9 Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts As part of our operations, Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries grants guarantees and letters of credit to its customers wherein Grupo Aval financial subsidiaries are irrevocably committed to make payments to third parties when customers do not comply with their obligations with such third parties. These products have the same policies for approval of disbursements of loans regarding client’s credit risk and guarantees required according to the circumstances of each client. The commitments for credit extension represent unused portions of authorizations to grant loans, use of credit cards, overdraft limits and letters of credit. With respect to credit risk over commitments to extend credit lines, Grupo Aval is potentially exposed to credit risk in an amount equal to the total amount of unused commitments, if the unused amount were to be withdrawn in whole. However, the amount of the loss is less that the total amount of commitments unused, since most commitments to extend credits are contingent on the customer maintaining specific credit risk standards. Pending unused credit lines and guarantees do not necessarily represent future cash-out flows, because such facilities may expire and not be used whole or in part. Following is the detail of the guarantees, letters of credit and credit commitments on non-used credit lines as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts
The following is the detail of the credit commitments by type of currency:
(1) The decrease corresponds to the reclassification to Non-Current Assets Held for Sale of Multi Financial Group operation as of December 31, 2025, see note 13.A. 4.1.10 Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities The disclosures set out in the following tables include financial assets and liabilities that:
The ‘similar agreements’ include derivative clearing agreements; global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements. Similar financial instruments include derivatives, sale-and-repurchase agreements, reverse sale-and-repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending agreements. Financial instruments such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the following tables unless they are offset in the statement of financial position. The ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) and similar master netting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position. This is because they create for the parties to the agreement a right of set-off of recognized amounts that is enforceable only following an event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of Grupo Aval or of the counterparties or following other predetermined events. In addition, Grupo Aval and its counterparties do not intend to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Grupo Aval receives and gives collateral in the form of cash and marketable securities in respect of the following transactions:
This collateral is subject to standard industry terms including, when appropriate, an ISDA credit support annex. This means that securities received/given as collateral can be pledged or sold during the term of the transaction but have to be returned on maturity of the transaction. The terms also give each party the right to terminate the related transactions on the counterparty’s failure to post collateral. The gross amounts of financial assets and liabilities and their net amounts disclosed in the tables below have been measured in the statement of financial position on the following basis:
The following is the detail of the financial instruments subject to offset contractually required as of December 31, 2025, and 2024: December 31, 2025

| Disclosure of risk management, market risk [text block] | 4.2 Market Risk Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, rates, indices, volatilities, correlations or other market factors, such as liquidity, will result in losses in a position or in the portfolio. Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries (namely Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular, Banco AV Villas, the trust companies of the financial subsidiaries, Corficolombiana y Porvenir) actively participate in money markets, foreign exchange markets and capital markets, for both of their books (for balance sheet risk management and trading book) and to provide financial services to their customers. This is subject to established policies and risk limits. In that regard, they hold financial asset portfolios within the allowed limits and risk levels. Market risk arises from the positions of Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries in debt securities investment portfolios, derivatives and equity instruments. These risks are created by changes in factors such as interest rates, inflation, foreign currency exchange rates, share prices, credit margins of instruments and their volatility, as well as the liquidity in the markets where Grupo Aval operates. Our business units and trading desks are responsible for ensuring that market risk exposures are well-managed and prudent. The risk management groups and our business unit management ensure that these risks are measured and closely monitored. A variety of limits and controls are designed to manage price and liquidity risk. Market risk is monitored through various mechanisms such as: statistic analysis (using Value-at-Risk models and related analytical measures), risk factor sensitivity analysis, and routine stress testing, conducted in collaboration with the business units by the Market Risk Unit. The material risks identified by these processes are summarized in reports produced by the Market Risk Unit that are circulated to and discussed with senior management. 4.2.1 Trading Book Risk Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries trade financial instruments for various reasons, mainly:
In carrying out these operations, Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries take risks, within predetermined limits. These risks are mitigated with the use of derivative products and other financial instruments within limits that are permanently monitored by risk. The following is a breakdown of Grupo Aval’s financial assets and liabilities exposed to trading risk held at December 31, 2025 and 2024:
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. 4.2.2 Description of Objectives, Policies and Processes to Manage Trading Risk Our financial subsidiaries participate in money markets, foreign exchange markets and capital markets to meet their needs and those of their customers, subject to established policies and risk levels. In this respect, they manage different portfolios of financial assets within the limits and risk levels allowed. The risks assumed by Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries in transactions related to the trading or treasury book are consistent with the overall trading strategy, considering the market depth for each instrument, its impact on risk-weighted assets and regulatory capital, the profit budget established for each business unit, and the balance sheet structure. Trading strategies are established on the basis of approved limits, in an effort to balance the risk / return relationship. Moreover, there is a structure of limits consistent with Grupo Aval’s general philosophy and is based on capital levels, earnings performance and risk appetite. The Integral Risk Management System (SIAR in Spanish) allows Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries to identify, measure, control and monitor the market risk they are exposed to in carrying out their operations. There are several scenarios in which Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries are exposed to trading risks.
Grupo Aval’s financial subsidiaries are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of its market-making activities and proprietary trading in interest rate sensitive financial instruments (e.g., risk arising from changes in the level or implied volatility of interest rates, the timing of mortgage prepayments, the shape of the yield curve and credit spreads for credit sensitive instruments). Additionally, as part of the interest rate risk management, asset and liability management committees have been established to monitor the execution of these strategies.
Grupo Aval’s financial subsidiary’s portfolios are exposed to foreign exchange rate and implied volatility risk as a result of market making negotiation in foreign currencies and from maintaining foreign exchange positions.
Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries are exposed to equity price risk in specific investments and are exposed to mutual fund risk. 4.2.2.1 Risk Management Grupo Aval financial subsidiaries manage their trading positions by employing a variety of risk mitigation strategies. These strategies include diversification of risk exposures and hedging through the purchase or sale of positions in related securities and financial instruments, including a variety of derivative products (e.g., futures, forwards, swaps and options). The financial subsidiaries manage their market risk associated with its trading activities on a decentralized basis. Our corporate risk unit supervises the level of risk taken in order to ensure that its global exposure limits are observed. Senior management and the Boards of Directors of our banks and their financial subsidiaries play an active role in managing and controlling market risk. They do so by analyzing established reports and through committees that comprehensively monitor - both technically and fundamentally - the different variables that influence domestic and foreign markets. This process is intended to support strategic trading and portfolio decisions. Analyzing and monitoring the market risks that Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries take in their operations is essential for decision making and to assess potential effects on their financial position. An ongoing analysis of macroeconomic conditions is necessary in order to achieve an ideal combination of market risk, return and liquidity. The risks assumed in financial operations are reflected in a limit structure that includes different types of instruments, specific trading strategies, the market depth in which Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries operate, the impact on risk-weighted assets and regulatory capital, as well as the balance sheet structure. These limits are monitored daily and reported regularly to the Board of Directors of Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries. In order to minimize interest rate and exchange rate risks in specific positions and transactions, Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries manage hedging strategies by taking positions in derivative instruments such as non-deliverable forwards (NDF) related to securities, money market transactions and foreign exchange forwards. 4.2.2.2 Methods Used to Measure Market Risk The Market Risk areas independently review the Company’s trading portfolios on a regular basis from a market risk perspective utilizing Value at Risk (VaR) internal and regulatory models, and other quantitative and qualitative risk measures and analyses. Each trading business and the market risk areas also use, as appropriate, measures such as sensitivity to changes in interest rates, prices, and implied volatilities to monitor and report market risk exposures. Stress testing, which measures the impact on the value of existing portfolios of specified changes in market factors for certain products, is performed periodically and reviewed by our risk and trading areas. Reports summarizing material risk exposures are produced by the market risk areas and are provided to senior management for their review and challenge. The Boards of Directors and the Risk Committees of Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries approve a framework of limits based on the value-at-risk related to the annual budget. Regulatory VaR (regulatory calculation) The Regulatory VaR calculation is primarily used for the Superintendency of Finance’s solvency ratio calculations. Each bank has standard models for capital purposes; however, they also maintain internal models in order to manage their day-to- day risk and profit decisions. The Superintendency of Finance methodology is based on the Basel II model. This model applies only to the financial subsidiaries’ investment portfolio and excludes investments not classified as trading. Total market risk is calculated on a daily basis by aggregating the VaR for each risk exposure category on a ten-day horizon, based on risk factors calculated under extreme market stress scenarios. VaR at month-end is part of the capital adequacy ratio calculation (as set forth in Decree 2555 of 2010). The Superintendency of Finance’s rules require the financial subsidiaries to calculate VaR for the following risk factors: interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, equity price risk and fund risk. Correlations between risk factors are not considered. The fluctuations in the portfolio’s VaR depend on sensitivity factors determined by the Superintendency of Finance, modified duration and changes in balances outstanding. The ten-day horizon is defined as the average time in which an entity could sell a trading position in the market. The VaR calculation includes all the portfolios of the entities and their financial subsidiaries and is estimated under the methodology defined by the Superintendency of Finance of Colombia. These VaR calculation models are used to determine the occurrence of potential losses among the different business units. The methods also allow comparisons of activities in different markets and identification of the riskiest positions in treasury activities. These tools are also used to determine limits on traders’ positions and to promptly review positions and trading strategies in response to changes in market conditions. VaR models have inherent limitations, partially because they rely on historical data, which may not be an indicative of future market conditions. VaR models could overestimate or underestimate the value at risk if market conditions vary significantly and they do not calculate the greatest possible loss. That’s why each company uses additional measurement tools in order to compensate for the VaR limitations. Expected Shortfall analysis, stress test and back tests are part of the risk measurement tools in the financial subsidiaries. The methods used to measure VaR are assessed regularly and back tested to check their efficiency. Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries have tools to carry out portfolio stress and/or sensitivity tests, using extreme scenario simulations. Additionally, there are limits according to the "risk type" associated with each of the instruments comprising the different portfolios. These limits are related to sensitivity or impact on the value of the portfolio as a result of fluctuations of specific risk factors such as: interest rate (Rho), exchange rate (Delta) and volatility (Vega). Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries have counterparty and trading limits for each trader in the trading platforms for the markets where they operate. Trading limits are controlled daily by the back and middle offices of each entity. Trading limits for individual traders are assigned based upon the individual´s level in the organization, market and trading experience and product and portfolio management knowledge. There is also a process to monitor the prices of fixed-income securities traded in foreign markets published by investment price providers for those jurisdictions. In addition, fixed income securities are subject to a qualitative liquidity analysis to determine the market depth for those instruments. Finally, the daily transaction monitoring process includes controlling different aspects of trading, such as terms of negotiation, non-conventional or off-market transactions, and related party transactions. According to the standard model, the market value-at-risk (VaR) for Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries consolidated at their level of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:
(1) The market value at risk information corresponds to Banco Popular's consolidated information. Corficolombiana's information is presented separately, due to its materiality. The following tables show the VaR calculation relating to each of the risk factors described above and based on the Superintendency of Finance Methodology (Regulatory VaR) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, for a ten-day horizon for each of our Colombian banking subsidiaries. The minimum, maximum and average levels are determined based on end-of-quarter calculations, using consolidated results from the last four quarters.. Banco de Bogotá S.A
The market risk-weighted assets of Banco de Bogotá, as of December 31, 2025, accounted for 3.13% of the total risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2024, market risk-weighted assets represented 3.25% of the total risk-weighted assets. Banco de Occidente S.A
The market risk-weighted assets of Banco de Occidente, as of December 31, 2025, accounted for 3.3% of the total risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2024, market risk-weighted assets represented 8.2% of the total risk-weighted assets. Banco Comercial AV Villas S.A
The market risk-weighted assets of Banco AV Villas, as of December 31, 2025, accounted for 1.3% of the total risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2024, market risk-weighted assets represented 2.1% of the total risk-weighted assets. Banco Popular S.A
(1) The market value at risk information corresponds to Banco Popular's consolidated information. Corficolombiana's information is presented separately, due to its materiality.
The market risk-weighted assets of Banco Popular, as of December 31, 2025, accounted for 7.55% of the total risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2024, market risk-weighted assets represented 5.61% of the total risk-weighted assets. Corficolombiana S.A
(1) The market value at risk information at December 31, 2025 corresponds to Corficolombiana's separate information.
(1) The market value at risk information at December 31, 2024 corresponds to Corficolombiana's separate information.
The market risk-weighted assets of Corficolombiana, as of December 31, 2025, accounted for 12.3% of the total risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2024, market risk-weighted assets represented 13.31% of the total risk-weighted assets.. As Corficolombiana does not have a relevant number of loans or other significant risk weighted assets, the ratio of the market risk weighted assets to total risk weighted assets is higher than in the banks. Porvenir S.A As a pension fund, Porvenir has a value-at-risk measurement methodology that differs from credit establishments and is established by the Superintendency of Finance. The following tables show the VaR calculation relating to each of the risk factors described above and based on that Methodology (Regulatory VaR) for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, for a ten-day horizon.
The market risk-weighted assets of Porvenir, as of December 31, 2025, accounted for 2.13% of the total risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2024, market risk-weighted assets represented 2.1% of the total risk-weighted assets. Investment Price Risk in Equity Instruments Equity Investments The variations in equity price risk measured according to the regulatory VaR methodology consider investments in equity securities included in the treasury book, including investments in shares issued abroad and listed in Colombia, and exclude, in the case of credit institutions, investments that have been deducted from the Entity's core capital. In 2024, Corficolombiana held investments subject to regulatory VaR. As of December 31, 2025, however, none of the subsidiaries maintain investments that meet these characteristics. 4.2.3 Structural foreign exchange risk Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries have agencies and subsidiaries offshore and have assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and are thus exposed to changes in the exchange rates, primarily the United States Dollar. Foreign exchange risk is present when there are assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, when investments are made in foreign subsidiaries and branches and when we extend loans or take funds in foreign currency. Foreign exchange risk is also present in foreign currency off- balance sheet transactions. Subsidiaries of the financial sector in Colombia are authorized by the country’s central bank (Banco de la República) to trade currencies and maintain balances in foreign currency in accounts abroad. Colombian law allows banks to maintain a net daily asset or liability position in foreign currency, determined as the difference in foreign currency denominated rights and foreign currency denominated obligations, including both on and off-balance sheet positions. On an entity individual basis, the average of this difference over three business days cannot exceed twenty percent (20%) of the entity’s regulatory capital. On a consolidated basis, the average of this difference over three business days (positive or negative) cannot exceed forty percent (40%) of the consolidated entity´s regulatory capital. The maximum and minimum total foreign currency position and the spot foreign currency position are determined according to the regulatory capital of each entity. The regulatory capital used (individual or consolidated) is that of the last business day two months prior. The exchange rate used in the calculation is the average of the exchange rate established by the Superintendency of Finance for the previous month or the last calculation on a consolidated basis. A substantial amount of Grupo Aval’s foreign currency assets and liabilities are in U.S. dollars. Details of the assets and liabilities in foreign currency held by Grupo Aval as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are shown below:
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. (2) As of December 2025, the liabilities related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Liabilities directly associated with non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A.
Grupo Aval’s financial subsidiaries hedge their foreign exchange exposure using derivatives instruments, especially forwards. The net foreign currency position of each subsidiary is monitored on a daily basis. Grupo Aval has several investments in foreign subsidiaries and branches whose net assets are exposed to foreign exchange risk because of the translation of gains or losses for the purpose of consolidating their financial statements. The exposure arising from net assets in foreign operations is hedged primarily with financial obligations, bonds and foreign exchange derivative instruments. The following table presents sensitivities of profit or loss before taxes and equity (OCI) to reasonably possible changes in exchange rates applied at the end of the reporting period relative to the functional currency of the respective Group entities, with all other variables held constant:
(1) The sensitivity in equity considers mainly assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies different from the Group’s presentation currency compensated with derivatives and financial labilities designated to hedge net investments in foreign operations.
The sensitivity in profit or loss was calculated for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities of the Group, including intercompany balances which are not hedged. The sensitivity takes into consideration the variations that could occur in the spot exchange rate, excluding from this calculation any changes that may arise in the forward curve. The Group’s exposure to currency risk at the end of the reporting period is not representative of the typical exposure during the year. 4.2.4 Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book In Colombia, the Superintendency of Finance, in line with the best practices of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, issued External Circular 025 on November 17, 2022. This circular introduced guideline applicable to the management of Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) and the Credit Risk Spread in the Banking Book (CRSBB) within the financial system. The afore mentioned circular establishes that supervised entities must adopt specific strategies, policies, and procedures for the adequate management of IRRBB. Additionally, it introduces two indicators to recognize the level of exposure of entities to balance sheet risks: Economic Value of Equity (EVE) and Net Interest Margin (NIM). External Circular 025 of 2022, effective as of December 1, 2024, required supervised entities that, as of December 31, maintained a banking book to report balance sheet risk exposure indicators on an individual basis. In addition, the circular established the obligation to report consolidated balance sheet risk exposure indicators for entities with consolidated financial statements that include institutions holding a banking book. This requirement applies for the first time with financial information as of December 31, 2025. The following section outlines the general considerations of the standard measurement methodology established under the applicable regulations, which must be applied to the assets and liabilities recorded in the Banking Book of Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular, and Banco AV Villas. Furthermore, in the case of Banco de Bogotá and Banco de Occidente, this methodology must also be applied to the financial assets and liabilities consolidated with subsidiaries that maintain banking books. Corficolombiana, however, was exempted by the supervisory authority from applying this regulation, as it does not maintain an accounting book for measurement purposes. Financial subsidiaries are exposed to Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) when interest rates change, as the present value and timing of future cash flows may be affected. This, in turn, impacts the underlying value of the entity's assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items, and consequently, the Economic Value of Equity (EVE). Changes in interest rates also affect the entity's earnings by altering interest-sensitive income and expenses, thereby impacting its Net Interest Margin (NIM). This risk includes (i) gap risk, which arises from the mismatch (the difference between assets and liabilities on the entity's balance sheet for a given date and time band) in the maturity structure of instruments exposed to interest rate risk; (ii) basis risk, which corresponds to the impact of relative changes in interest rates for financial instruments with similar maturities but whose prices are determined using different interest rate indices; and (iii) option risk, which refers to the probability that the entity will incur losses due to the exercise of options embedded implicitly or explicitly in assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items that are contractually and legally exposed, such as loan prepayments. To manage IRRBB, the banks within Grupo Aval have established in their policies that this risk is only applicable to Banking Book operations that do not consume capital for market risk, including asset, liability, and off-balance sheet operations with such exposure. The measurement of IRRBB is conducted using two main metrics: the Economic Value of Equity (EVE), which assesses the fluctuation of equity in response to changes in interest rates using a liquidation balance sheet, and the Net Interest Margin (NIM), which calculates the impact on interest income due to movements in interest rates using a constant balance sheet and a 12-month window. The regulation establishes, for both individual and consolidated information, the application of the outlier test. This test compares the maximum Delta VEP calculated by the entity under interest rate shock scenarios against 15% of the sum of Ordinary Core Capital (CET1 – Patrimonio Básico Ordinario in spanish language) and Additional Core Capital (ATI1 – Patrimonio Básico Adicional in spanish language) in effect at the reporting date. As of the reporting date, this reference established in the regulation remains solely a monitoring threshold and, for the time being, does not impose restrictions on the operation of our Banks. For entities that exceed this level in the outlier test, the regulation requires the submission of an adjustment plan that includes one or more of the following measures to mitigate the impact of increased exposure to IRRBB: (i) reduce exposures to IRRBB, (ii) impose restrictions on internal risk parameters, (iii) enhance the risk management framework, (iv) evaluate increasing capital resources, or (v) adopt other measures that allow mitigating the level of exposure to IRRBB. In accordance with the regulation, Delta EVE corresponds to the maximum difference in the Economic Value of Equity (EVE) observed between the baseline scenario and six scenarios simulating adverse movements in interest rate curves, as follows:
Individual results: Below are the results of the Delta EVE and Delta NIM measurements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:
As of December 31, 2025, Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente and Banco AV Villas maintained their Delta EVE percentages below the threshold established for outlier tests. As of December 31, 2025, Banco Popular exceeded the 15% reference established in the regulation and, in compliance with regulatory requirements, submitted the corresponding adjustment plan to the Superintendency of Finance. Consolidated results: Below are the results of the Delta EVE and Delta NIM measurements as of December 31, 2025:
As of December 31, 2025, Banco de Bogotá and Banco de Occidente maintained their Delta EVE percentages below the threshold established for outlier tests. In the case of Banco Popular and Banco AV Villas, since they do not have subsidiaries with a banking book, they are exempt from reporting consolidated information. The management of interest rate risk in Grupo Aval's banks is structured with strong governance, led by the Board of Directors, which approves policies and limits, and supported by the Risk Committee and the ALCO Committee, which oversee the risk profile and strategies. The risk area develops methodologies and models to measure, monitor, and evaluate risk, while the treasury analyzes and projects interest rate risk and proposes hedging measures. Internal audit conducts independent evaluations of the risk system. Grupo Aval's banks identify positions affected by interest rate risk, including assets, liabilities, and derivatives, and analyze their impact. For measurement, they calculate the impact on Net Interest Margin (NIM) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) under regulatory scenarios and perform sensitivity analyses. Stress tests are conducted based on interest rate movements, and limits and alerts are established to control risk. Monitoring is carried out through periodic reports to the Board of Directors and other committees, ensuring effective risk management. Results of NIM and EVE Shocks The following section presents the results of the shocks applied to the EVE and NIM metrics as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, for individual results. Regarding the consolidated information, the results are presented only as of December 31, 2025: Individual Results
Consolidated Results Consolidated results are presented only for Banco de Bogotá and Banco de Occidente, as they are the only financial institutions with subsidiaries that have a defined Banking Book, in accordance with regulatory provisions.
In the case of Banco Popular and Banco AV Villas, since they do not have subsidiaries with a banking book, they are exempt from reporting consolidated information. 4.2.5 Interest Rate Risk – Sensitivity of Grupo Aval’s Consolidated Balance Sheet Non-trading instruments consist primarily of loans and deposits. The net interest margin of our financial subsidiaries may be affected by changes in interest rates. Losses can result from unexpected movements in interest rates. For this reason, our financial subsidiaries monitor the interest rate risk daily and set limits on asset and liability mismatches. Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries monitor their interest rate risk daily and set limits to repricing mismatches between assets and liabilities. They analyze their interest rate exposure in a dynamic way. Scenario modelling considers renewal of existing positions, financing alternatives, and hedges. Considering these scenarios, the financial subsidiaries calculate the profit and loss impact of changes in interest rates. The following table shows interest rates exposure of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing for financial assets and liabilities by maturity bucket for our financial subsidiaries at December 31, 2025 and 2024. In this table, fixed rate instruments are classified according to their maturity date and floating rate instruments are classified according to their repricing date: December 31,2025
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. (2) As of December 2025, the liabilities related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Liabilities directly associated with non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. December 31,2024
As part of their interest rate risk management process, our financial subsidiaries analyze the interest rate mismatches between their interest-earning assets and their interest-earning liabilities. This sensitivity analysis, based on hypothetical changes, assumes that the composition of Grupo Aval´s statement of financial position remains constant over the period being measured. Based on the financial statement as of December 31, 2025, a linear accounting sensitivity exercise to interest rate variations is carried out, assuming a constant market situation, without incorporating the existing effects on financial assets and liabilities resulting from discretionary decisions of clients and changes that may occur in macroeconomic fundamentals. Thus, if market interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points, without considering the maturity of the instruments or the repricing periods but only the balance as of the cut-off date, and assuming there is no asymmetric movement in the yield curves, the profit for the year would have been Ps. 83,572, which represents 1.10% of total net interest income as of December 31, 2025, and Ps. 33,715, which represented 0.46% of total net interest income as of December 31, 2024, mainly higher as a result of higher interest income on variable interest assets offset by higher interest expenses on variable interest liabilities and lower fair values of investments at fair value through profit or loss, due to the proportion of assets indexed to variable rates being higher than liabilities indexed to variable rates. Other comprehensive income in equity would have been Ps. 835,812 as of December 31, 2025, and Ps. 868,462 as of December 31, 2024, mainly lower because of a decrease in the fair values of fixed-rate financial assets classified as fair value through OCI. The following is a breakdown of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing assets and liabilities by interest rate type and by maturity, as at December 31, 2025 and 2024. December 31,2025
(1) As of December 2025, the assets related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A. (2) As of December 2025, the liabilities related to Multi Financial Group (MFG) were no longer presented line-by-line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and were instead reported in a single line item within “Liabilities directly associated with non-current assets held for sale”, see note 13.A.

| Disclosure of risk management, liquidity risk [text block] | 4.3 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk management has always been a basic element of Grupo Aval’s business strategy and a fundamental cornerstone, together with capital, on which the strength of its balance sheet rests. Liquidity risk is related to the inability of Grupo Aval´s subsidiaries to fulfill their obligations with customers, financial market counterparties, lenders, suppliers, authorities or other stakeholders at any given moment, in any currency and in any location. Structural liquidity management aims to finance the recurring nature of a company’s activities under optimal terms of time and cost, avoiding taking unwanted liquidity risks. At Grupo Aval, the financing and liquidity model is decentralized and based on autonomous subsidiaries that are responsible for covering their own liquidity needs. Therefore, each entity reviews its available resources on a daily basis in order to control its liquidity risk. The financial subsidiaries of Grupo Aval are responsible for complying with the regulatory liquidity requirements, as well as meeting the obligations arising from their current and future activity. In consequence, they will either take deposits from their customers, or by resorting to the wholesale markets where they operate. Grupo Aval’s financial subsidiaries have a strong capacity as well as to raise funds in the wholesale markets. Financial subsidiaries comply with the requirements for liquidity risk management of the jurisdictions in which they operate. They define policies that govern the functions of identification, measurement, control and monitoring required to manage daily liquidity requirements, comply with minimum liquidity buffers and establish liquidity contingency plans to deal with any unexpected situation. Financial subsidiaries controlled by Grupo Aval, in Colombia, are required to maintain adequate liquidity positions based on the Superintendency of Finance’s liquidity parameters, using a short-term liquidity index (Indicador de Riesgo de Liquidez in Spanish language), or “IRL,” that measures liquidity for different time horizons from 1 to 90 days. This index is defined as the difference between adjusted liquid assets and net liquidity requirements.
During 2020, as part of its convergence towards Basel III standards, the Superintendency of Finance incorporates the segmentation by type of deposits in the calculation of non-contractual liability cash flows. The methodology segments saving deposits in eight categories, according with their balance and the type of customer, then calculates the run-off rate for each category and finally multiplies both to determine the non-contractual reserve. Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries assess the volatility of deposits, debt levels, the asset and liability structure, the liquidity of different asset types, the availability of lines of credit and the effectiveness of asset and liability management. The objective is to have adequate liquidity to manage possible stress scenarios. The quantification of appropriate money market funding levels is an integral part of the liquidity measurement carried out by each entity. Based on statistical analysis, primary and secondary sources of liquidity are identified in order to ensure funding stability and diversification, and to minimize concentration. Financial subsidiaries in Colombia must maintain cash on hand and in Central Banks deposits in order to comply with reserve requirements. The calculation of the reserve requirement is based on the daily average of the different types of deposits every two weeks. On August 30, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Colombia (Banco de la República) issued External Resolution No. 3, which reduces the reserve requirements as follows:
There are no reserve requirements for our subsidiaries located in Panamá because there is no Central Bank to regulate such requirements. The following table presents liquid assets as of the cut-off date and their depletion for each of the time horizons established in the regulatory liquidity risk methodology (1 to 7 days, 1 to 30 days and 31 to 90 days), based on separate figures of our financial subsidiaries in Colombia at December 31, 2025 and 2024: December 31, 2025
December 31, 2024
The following tables show the individual IRL Ratio as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 for each of our banks in Colombia and Corficolombiana, expressed in Colombian pesos and as a percentage:
Supervised entities are required to calculate and report to the SFC on a weekly basis an indicator of short-term liquidity risk. The IRL is calculated in periods of 7 and 30 days and must be at least 100 percent. During 2025, Grupo Aval's Colombian banks met the minimum regulatory requirement. The liquidity calculations described above assume normal liquidity conditions, according to the contractual flows and historical experience of each of the financial subsidiaries. For extreme liquidity events caused by unusual deposit withdrawals, the financial subsidiaries have contingency plans that include available credit lines with other financial institutions and access to special lines of credit with Colombia´s Central Bank, in accordance with current regulations. These lines of credit are granted when required, and are collateralized by Colombian government securities or by a portfolio of high-quality loans, as specified in the Central Bank regulations. Grupo Aval´s financial subsidiaries did not access the Central Bank special lines of credit during the years ended at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The banks in each country are responsible for their liquidity position on a stand-alone basis. They have access to funding mechanisms with their central banks (which allow them to use their portfolios of marketable securities as collateral in money market schemes, as well as loan portfolio rediscounting mechanisms), funding through short-term credit lines offered by correspondent banks, and financing provided by multilateral organizations. The following breakdown shows the contractual undiscounted cash flows of the financial assets and liabilities including contractual interest receivable and payable at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

| Disclosure of risk management, regulatory capital management [text block] | 4.4 Regulatory capital management Decree 2555 of 2010 (as modified by Decree 1771 of 2012, Decree 1648 of 2014, Decree 2392 of 2015, Decrees 1477 of 2018 and 1421 of 2019) sets forth capital adequacy requirements for Colombian credit institutions. Technical capital for Colombian credit institutions consists of the sum of total Core Equity Tier I (CET1 or patrimonio básico ordinario), Additional Tier I capital (AT1 or patrimonio básico adicional), and Tier II capital (Tier II or patrimonio adicional). Tier I capital consist of the sum of CET1 (patrimonio básico ordinario) and AT1 (patrimonio básico adicional). Tier I and Tier II, as defined herein, may differ to the manner in which these terms are used in other jurisdictions. Pursuant to Decrees 1477 of 2018 and 1421 of 2019 Basel III principles were introduced to estimate adequate capital in credit institutions as follows:
Banco de Bogotá is considered a systemically important financial institution, according to Carta Circular 68 of November 27, 2025, Carta Circular 74 of November 28, 2024 and Carta Circular 70 of November 23, 2023, issued by the Superintendency of Finance, and therefore had to comply with the systemic buffer (explained above). Furthermore, according to Carta Circular 68 of November 27, 2025 and Carta Circular 74 of November 28, 2024, issued by the Superintendency of Finance, Banco de Occidente is also considered a systemically important financial institution. At December 31, 2025 the systemic importance buffer applicable to Banco de Occidente was 0.6%, as it was allowed a transition period to comply with the 1.0% systemic buffer, which must be fully implemented by November 2026. Total solvency ratio for pension and severance fund managers, fiduciary companies and stockbrokers is defined as the value of the regulatory capital (CET1, AT1 and Tier II) calculated under the terms of Decree 175 of 2022, divided by risk-weighted assets by level of credit, market and operational risk, at a minimum of 9%. In addition to compliance with minimum regulatory capital requirements, Grupo Aval’s entities aim to maintain capital positions that foster investor, creditor, and market confidence and to sustain future growth of their respective businesses. The capital allocation decision guards that there is balance between a more aggressive structure that can deliver higher returns on equity and a more conservative approach that encourages excess capitalization. Capital allocation decisions also considers each subsidiary’s long-term strategic objectives. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, all of Grupo Aval´s individually regulated operations have complied with the minimum regulatory capital requirements. The following tables show the separate and consolidated (where applicable) capitalization information of our main direct and indirect subsidiaries. Consolidated solvency only applies to Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente and Banco Popular. The consolidated solvency for Banco Popular and subsidiaries incorporates Corficolombiana. However, taking into account the materiality of Corficolombiana in Banco Popular’s figures, Corficolombiana is presented separately in the following section. Banco de Bogotá S.A.
