Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) is an issuer of securities in Colombia and in the United States, registered with Colombia’s National Registry of Shares and Issuers (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, it is subject to the control of the Superintendency of Finance and compliance with applicable U.S. securities regulation as a “foreign private issuer” under Rule 405 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.

All of our banking subsidiaries (Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular and Banco AV Villas), Porvenir and Corficolombiana, are subject to inspection and surveillance as financial institutions by the Superintendency of Finance. Although we are not a financial institution, as a result of the enactment of Law 1870 of 2017, also known as Law of Financial Conglomerates, starting on February 6, 2019, Grupo Aval will be subject to the supervision and regulation of the Superintendency of Finance. Grupo Aval, as the holding company of its financial conglomerate will become responsible for the compliance with capital adequacy requirements, corporate governance standards, financial risk management and internal control framework and criteria for identifying, managing and revealing conflicts of interest, applicable to its financial conglomerate.

The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this document is presented in accordance with IFRS as currently issued by the IASB. Details of the calculations of non-GAAP measures such as ROAA and ROAE, among others, are explained when required in this report.

The results for 1Q2018, 2Q2018 and 3Q2018 are not comparable to previous quarters due to the prospective adoption in Colombia of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 starting in January 1, 2018.

The previously reported figures for 2Q2018 had been adjusted to reflect the treatment of provision charges to stage 3 loans as described under IFRS 9 and detailed in KPMG’s practical guide to IFRS standards whose content we learnt post the 2Q2018 conference call and that clarifies the methodology that needs to be used to fully adopt this new standard.

This report may include forward-looking statements, which actual results may vary from those stated herein as a consequence of changes in general, economic and business conditions, changes in interest and currency rates and other risks factors as evidenced in our Form 20-F available at the SEC webpage. Recipients of this document are responsible for the assessment and use of the information provided herein. Grupo Aval will not have any obligation to update the information herein and shall not be responsible for any decision taken by investors in connection with this document. The content of this document and the unaudited figures included herein are not intended to provide full disclosure on Grupo Aval or its affiliates.

When applicable, in this document we refer to billions as thousands of millions.

The quality of our loan portfolio slightly deteriorated during the quarter mainly driven by a deterioration of the commercial portfolio’s PDL’s (27 bps) and NPL’s (23 bps) mostly driven by slow growth in Colombia and specific corporate clients in Central America. This was partially offset by improving PDL´s (18 bps) and NPL’s (11 bps) for the consumer portfolio during the quarter, an indication that the worst of the credit cycle, which impacted mostly these portfolios, is over.

Our 30 days PDL to total loans closed 3Q18 in 4.5%, compared to 4.4% in 2Q18 and 4.0% in 3Q17. The ratio of 90 days PDL to total loans was 3.2% for 3Q18, compared to 3.1% in 2Q18 and 2.7% in 3Q17. Finally, the ratio of CDE Loans to total loans was 7.1% in 3Q18, 6.9% in 2Q18 and 5.2% in 3Q17.

Commercial loans’ 30 days PDL ratio was 4.1% for 3Q18, 3.8% for 2Q18 and 3.4% for 3Q17; 90 days PDL ratio was 3.5%, 3.3% and 2.8%, respectively. Consumer loans’ 30 days PDL ratio was 5.2% for 3Q18, 5.3% for 2Q18 and 5.1% for 3Q17; 90 days PDL ratio was 2.9%, 3.0% and 2.7%, respectively. Mortgages’ 30 days PDL ratio was 4.1% for 3Q18, 4.0% for 2Q18 and 3.7% for 3Q17; 90 days PDL ratio was 2.2%, 2.2% and 2.0%, respectively.

Total non-controlling interest represents 39.5% of total equity as of September 30th, 2018. Total non-controlling interest derives from the sum of the combined minority interests of our banks and of Grupo Aval, applying eliminations associated with the consolidation process of Grupo Aval.

Total other income (expense) for 3Q18 totaled Ps 297.6 billion decreasing by 6.3% versus 3Q17 and increasing 121.2% versus 2Q18. The quarterly increase was mainly driven by higher income from foreign exchange gains, net.

4. Other expenses

Total other expenses for 3Q18 totaled Ps 2,231.4 billion increasing by 2.8% versus 3Q17 and decreasing 0.9% versus 2Q18. Our efficiency ratio measured as operating expenses before depreciation and amortization to total income, was 39.1% in 3Q18 (in absence of the Ps 330 billion of retroactive income this ratio would have been approximately 42%), 46.1% in 2Q18 and 46.8% in 3Q17.

5. Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest in Grupo Aval reflects: (i) the minority stakes that third party shareholders hold in each of its direct consolidated subsidiaries (Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular, Banco AV Villas and Corficolombiana), and (ii) the minority stakes that third party shareholders hold in the consolidated subsidiaries at the bank level (mainly Porvenir). For 3Q18, non-controlling interest in the income statement was Ps 670.4 billion, showing a 118.1% increase versus 3Q17 and a 46.5% increase versus 2Q18. The ratio of non-controlling interest to income before non-controlling interest was 46.1% in 3Q18, 40.2% in 2Q18 and 41.2% in 3Q17.

The increase in non-controlling interest is mainly driven by (i) higher net income from Corficolombiana and (ii) by the dilution resulting from Corficolombiana’s capitalization process in August 2018.

22 Update on Aval’s 4G infrastructure projects; Impact on Corficolombiana  s results of full adoption of IFRS 15 • Update : As of September, 2018 Corficolombiana had started construction of two 4 G road concessions : Pacifico 1 and Chirajara - Fundadores . Completion of the construction phase of these two projects is estimated by the end of the year 2023 . It is expected that construction of a third 4 G project (Villavicencio – Yopal ) will commence during November 2018 and be completed by the year 2024 . The construction of a fourth project ( Mulalo – Loboguerrero ) should commence in the third quarter of 2019 and be completed by the year 2025 . Corficolombiana is the sole shareholder in two of these projects and a 90 % shareholder of the third . • IFRS 15 : With the introduction and full adoption of IFRS 15 1 , Corficolombiana has changed the way it accounts its concession projects in line with the risk associated with the two stages of a toll road : construction and operation . According to IFRS 15 , Corficolombiana has to differentiate the two phases of each Concession Project, because the services provided to the client (the Colombian Government) in each phase are different ; in line with this Corficolombiana has to reflect a differentiated return in each of the phases depending on the level of implied risk . As the risks involved during the construction phase of the toll - roads are, by far, larger, than the risk of the operating phase, the returns obtained during the construction years are expected to be much larger than the ones obtained during the operating years . IFRS 15 establishes the principles that an entity applies when reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from a contract with a customer . Applying IFRS 15 , an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services . To recognize revenue under IFRS 15 , an entity applies the following five steps : i ) identify the contract(s) with a customer, ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract . Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer to a customer goods or services that are distinct, iii) determine the transaction price . The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer . If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, an entity must estimate the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer, iv) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand - alone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract , and v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service) . A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer services to a customer) . For a performance obligation satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied . Pre IFRS 15 accounting The construction and operating phases were analyzed as one and consequently income was accrued uniformly during the total duration of the contract without consideration of the different levels of risk assumed in each phase contracted (construction and operation) . IFRS 15 accounting The construction and operating phases are analyzed as two independent phases (because the services provided in each phase are different) and income depends on the level of risk assumed in each phase . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Expected Net Income of a Concession Project Pre IFRS 15 IFRS 15 Construction phase Operating phase Risk assumed
