message from the
President

Dear collaborators, qualified users, investors, authorities and friends of the Barranquilla Free Trade Zone:

As we close the first year of our 30-year contract with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism, I want to share with you an honest and motivating assessment of what we have achieved together.

This new contract brought with it greater demands: a lease payment that more than doubled in the first year, significant investments in warehouses and maintenance, warranty policies, and a commitment to raising our environmental standards. Through coordinated management between the commercial, legal, and financial departments, we were able to balance these new commitments with the operational viability of our users. Negotiating fair contractual terms allowed us to sign new agreements that benefit both parties and guarantee the long-term sustainability of our operations.

Thanks to this joint effort, we exceeded our targets and generated real value for all our stakeholders. Our revenue grew by 13.5% compared to 2024, we strengthened our equity by 0.82%, and we achieved an EBITDA of 22.361 billion pesos. In Zofia, our private free trade zone, we stood out with extraordinary sales of over 19.150 billion pesos and significant operating profit. Simultaneously, we launched a robust infrastructure expansion program that includes new, modern warehouses and the preparation of land for larger-scale projects.

In the area of ​​sustainability, we proudly received the ICONTEC Silver Category Seal, which recognizes our comprehensive management of ESG criteria. Furthermore, we were selected to participate in the OECD's global pilot program for certification as a Secure Free Trade Zone, once again making us pioneers in the Colombian free trade zone system. Soon, our client companies will be able to display this important international seal, which adds competitive value in global markets.

We know that our role goes beyond facilitating foreign trade. We are a key player in the region's economic and social development. Therefore, we maintain a constant and constructive dialogue with authorities and trade associations, always seeking the best conditions for companies established here to grow with stability and competitiveness.

Although the outlook for 2026 presents challenges related to the electoral context and the dynamics of international trade, we have the experience, knowledge, and solid financial structure to successfully meet them. We will continue to diversify our offerings, invest in technology and innovation, and expand our logistics capacity to remain a reliable strategic partner.

My deepest gratitude to the Board of Directors for their prudent and visionary guidance, to our entire team for their commitment and ability to overcome challenges, and to our shareholders for believing in this project and supporting us every step of the way.

Together, we will continue building a Free Trade Zone that not only generates economic growth, but also contributes to the well-being and sustainable progress of Barranquilla and Colombia.
