Comments from Mr. Carlos Labarthe, Grupo Compartamos' CEO:
The Company finalized the first half of the year, demonstrating a solid performance. During the second quarter, we delivered 32% growth in the total loan portfolio and solid net income up by 20% compared to the second quarter of 2012. The Group´s subsidiaries are developing in accordance to plan and we are enthusiastic to enter the second half of this year.
For the quarter Banco Compartamos generated outstanding net income growth of more than 36%. This was result of the benefits obtained from investments in strategic projects implemented by the Company, in order to better serve our customers.
Financiera CREAR in Peru was renamed as "Compartamos Financiera" in a strategic effort to invest in and build the "Compartamos" brand in the region. Now we can say that we not only aim to create a regionally recognized company, we are actually doing it under the Compartamos identity. It is also worthy of mentioning that Group Loan product generated strong demand, growing 183% in the number clients served during the past quarter.
In Guatemala, Compartamos S.A. currently has 28 service offices serving more than 58 thousand clients, 87.7% more than in the second quarter of 2012. The Guatemalan operation aims to accelerate the use of its existing infrastructure, as quickly and efficiently as possible, to meet demand. YASTAS, our correspondent network manager, affiliated over 1,000 new businesses in this quarter alone, an unprecedented figure. Likewise, we are also very encouraged with the evolution of our micro insurance broker ATERNA, which serves 3.2 million customers with active policies.
We would not have achieved these results without our team. As a company we strongly believe that we can make our dream come true of eradicating financial exclusion as long as we have the right people, which we are confident that we do. As such, we look forward to the challenges in the second half of the year and we are as committed as ever to serving our clients, employees and shareholders to the best of our ability generating social, human and economic value in their lives and communities.
