Credicorp Ltd. Form 6-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
Credicorp Ltd., a leading financial services holding company in Peru with operations in Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, and Panama, filed this Form 6-K on August 15, 2024. The filing addresses corrections to specific accumulated performance ratios originally published in its Second Quarter 2024 (2Q24) earnings materials. The reporting period for the corrected metrics is the first half of 2024 (1H24) and the comparative first half of 2023 (1H23).
Key Financial Metrics and Corrections
The filing does not report new revenue, profit, or cash flow figures. Instead, it corrects four specific efficiency and return ratios due to miscalculations in accumulated performance indicators. The corrected figures are as follows:
| Performance Indicator | Originally Reported | Corrected Figure |
|---|---|---|
| 1H24 Return on Equity (ROE) | 17.2% | 17.6% |
| 1H24 Funding Cost | 3.16% | 2.90% |
| 1H24 Operating Expenses / Total Average Assets | 7.4% | 3.7% |
| 1H23 Operating Expenses / Total Average Assets | 7.1% | 3.5% |
Material Changes and Impact
The corrections represent significant adjustments to efficiency metrics, particularly the Operating Expenses to Total Average Assets ratio, which was halved in the corrected figures. However, management explicitly states that these amendments do not affect the Company's reported IFRS financial results, including net income or total assets. The corrections are strictly limited to the calculation of specific accumulated ratios.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Credicorp reaffirms its full-year 2024 guidance as announced on August 8, 2024. Management confirmed that the underlying financial results remain unchanged. The Company plans to replace its quarterly materials, including the Earnings Release, Conference Call Presentation, and Historical Consolidated Charts, to reflect these conforming corrections.
