Written premiums reached COP 5.ó trillion at the end of the first quarter, remaininq stable compared to March 2025. This performance reflects, on the one hand, the increase recorded in Suramericana S.A., mainly driven by the Life segment, and on the other hand, the contraction in SURA Asset Manaqement S.A., specifically in its subsidiary Asulado Sequros de Vida S.A., where a lower issuance of annuities was observed, a trend consistent with sector dynamics. Fee and commission income totaled COP 1.3 trillion, representing a growth of 11.1â compared to March 2025, supported by the solid performance of the two business lines of SURA Asset Management S.A.: Savings and Retirement and SURA Investments.

This effect was partially offset by lower claims retained in Suramericana S.A., both in the P&C and Life segments.

The business in Colombia, which contributed z7@ of this item, showed the hiqhest growth (+13@), mainly explained by the adjustment of the minimum waqe for 202ó, which was reflected in hiqher salary levels of affiliates. In Chile and Peru, the vvaqe base also showed an acceleration, driven by the increase in real waqes and by a chanqe in the composition of the portfolio towards affiliates with hiqher salary levels. Fee and commission income maintained double-diqit growth, with a variation of 12.5@ compared to the same period of the previous year, consistent with the trend observed during 2025. Fees and commissions on AUM showed the qreatest dynamism, with a growth of 19.3à, hiqhliqhtinq the performance of Afore SURA in Mexico, as well as Severance and Voluntary Pensions in Colombia, vvhich qrevv 1z.5% and 1zï.3@, respectively.

On the other hand, commissions on flow^ reqistered a variation of 3.8@ compared to the first quarter of 2025, lovver than the expansion of the commissionable salary base. Despite a qeneralized improvement in averaqe waqes in all countries, this behavior is mainly due to requlatory adjustments in Protección, where pension insurance vvent from 2.53% to 2.73a, because of the chanqes derived from the decrees associated with the increase in the minimum waqe and its coveraqe mechanism'. This adjustment reduced the net fee of the mandatory product, impactinq revenues compared to the previous year. The averaqe fee on the consolidated salary basis stood at 1.OM in the quarter. The insurance marqin, once reciprocal transactions have been eliminated, reached COP 107,t15 million, with a growth of 137.OF compared to the first quarter of 2025. This result was explained by the performance of Sequros de Vida Chile S.A. and by the evolution of Asulado, which recorded an improvement in the insurance margin explained by a lower claims ratio and a better result of the line of investments that support insurance reserves compared to the previous year, associated with higher returns in an environment of higher inflation. However, decrees related to the minimum wage and landslide coverage in Colombia continue to put pressure on the insurance business and could introduce additional volatility in the insurance margin in the coming quarters. Leqal reserves were positive in the first quarter, although lower than that recorded in the same period of the previous year, in the context of greater volatility in the markets mainly associated with qeopolitical tensions, with a more marked impact during ‌The AUM includes the followinq businesses: Afore SURA in Mexico (Mandatory and Voluntary Pensions), AFP Protección in Colombia (Voluntary Pensions and Severance Payments), AFP lntegra in Peru (Mandatory Pensions: Balance Collection Population and Voluntary Pensions), AFP Capital in Chile (Voluntary Pensions) and SURA Investments. ‌'They come from the commissionable salary base of the followinq businesses: AFP Capital in Chile (Mandatory Pensions), AFP Protección in Colombia (Mandatory Pensions), AFP Inteqra in Peru (Mandatory Pensions: population charqed by ftow, prior to the 2013 reform], and AFAP SURA in Uruquay. ‌"Decrees 1zïó9 and 1zï85 issued in December 2025.

The annualized implied return (yield) stood at 1.5@, compared to b.4°A in the first quarter of 2025. Investment income^, other than legal reserves, presented a behavior consistent with this dynamic, registering lower returns as a result of market volatility. The other operatinq income line showed significant growth in the quarter, explained by an extraordinary effect of the release of provisions associated with the previous self-insurance scheme of Protección S.A. This behavior is mainly due to adjustments in actuarial parameters derived from hiqher market rates, which reduce the balance sheet requirements for the period. However, uncertainty persists reqardinq the implementation of Decree lz85, related to the coveraqe of the minimum vvaqe, and, as the year proqresses, new provisions could be constituted. Operating expenses increased by 13.2@ year-on-year, impacted by regulatory developments in Colombia associated with the 23a increase in the minimum wage and the recognition of the Wealth Tax In addition, the expenses associated with the implementation of the pension reform in Chile also pressured the variation of the period. Operatinq profit reached COP zi99,ó15 million, with a qrovvth of 2zL8@ compared to the hrst quarter of 2025, explained by the good operatinq performance of the business, which allowed it to absorb extraordinary items from the period.

In line with the above, the EBITDA marqin showed an expansion compared to the previous year, qoinq from 40.4°A to z1.3@ with eqa reserves, and from 3ó.2%to zi0.5à vvithout eqa reserves.
