Message from the CFO
“The significant fiscal consolidation, the relative FX rate stability and the sharp contraction in economic activity, have led to a gradual moderation of inflation in recent months. Despite the uncertainty and related risks, it is likely, according to BBVA Research, that ongoing adjustments, eventually complemented by additional measures, could set the bases for an inflation slowdown along the year. On the other hand, although the deterioration of economic activity could be reversed by mid-year, it is expected that, after falling by 1.6% in 2023, GDP will decrease by 4.0% in 2024 (unchanged since the last forecast). A 135% inflation is expected by 2024 year end (with a downward bias), versus 211% in December 2023.
As of June 2024, private credit in pesos for the system grew 176% YoY, while BBVA Argentina increased its private loan portfolio in pesos by 230%1. Neither the System nor the Bank’s YoY loan growth exceeded that of inflation (which reached 272% YoY as of June 2024). Nonetheless, as of April 2024, BBVA Argentina started to have a monthly real term growth, while the System did so as of May. Consolidated market share increased 153 bps from 9.01% in June 2023, to 10.54% in June 2024, sustaining a two-digit figure.
Concerning consolidated private deposits, the system grew 167% while the Bank grew 185%, without beating inflation in the year in both cases. Consolidated market share of deposits for BBVA Argentina was 7.50%, 46 bps higher YoY.
Regarding shareholder remuneration, as of the date of this report, the Bank has ended its payment schedule of dividends in three consecutive installments, in cash or in kind, for ARS 264.2 billion, expressed in December 31, 2023 currency, and that pursuant to BCRA regulation it has been adjusted by inflation as of the day of each payment.
BBVA Argentina net income in 2Q24 grew 178.8% QoQ, levered on the decline of inflation. That being said, operating income in the quarter was affected by a fall in interest rates (connected to the decrease in the monetary policy rate, which declined from 80% to 40% during the second quarter of 2024) and the boosted growth of the private loan portfolio, which grew in real terms for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2022. This dynamic is mainly denoted in the commercial portfolio and its weight in the balance sheet QoQ versus the previous quarter, in line with the Bank’s strategy of giving support to companies, SMEs and entrepreneurs. On the retail side, as of June 15, 2024, the Bank began to offer UVA adjusted mortgage credit lines for the purchase of a first or second house of permanent use. Also, NPL for private loans of BBVA Argentina was 1.18%, below the System’s 1.90% (May 2024, last information available). Concerning liquidity and solvency indicators, the Bank ends the quarter with 69.5% and 25.3% respectively. The decrease in capital is consequent to the increase in activity denoted in the loan portfolio, in addition to the dividend distribution.
On digitalization, our service offering has evolved in such way that by the end of June 2024, mobile monetary transactions increased 60% compared to the same period a year back. In the year, new client acquisition through digital channels over traditional ones was 84%, while in June 2023 it was 81%.
Regarding ESG, BBVA Argentina has a corporate responsibility with society, inherent to the Bank’s business model, which bolsters inclusion, financial education and supports scientific research and culture. In this context, and within the plan of realty sustainable renovation and the aim of improving the experience of employees and clients, BBVA has invested more than ARS 3.5 billion in Argentina in its refurbishing project of 10 branches. Among the sustainability criteria that have been implemented in the different branches, we can find: water consumption reduction, storage and recollection of recyclable products, deploy of solar energy for the generation of electricity and warming of water, as well was the installation of efficient framings and micro perforated fabric façades for daylight control.
Lastly, the Bank actively monitors its business, financial conditions and operating results, in the aim of keeping a competitive position to face contextual challenges in a decisive year for the Argentine Republic.”

The 40.3% fall in quarterly operating results are explained by a lower operating income, mainly due to (i) lower interest income, basically due to the decline in the monetary policy rate, (ii) lower results from write-down of assets at amortized cost and at fair value (FC) through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), in particular due to the contrast generated by the sale of CPI linked bonds (through the exercise of put options) in 1Q24, followed by (iii) higher loan loss allowances, in line with the growth in real terms of the loan portfolio.
Net Income for the period was highly impacted by income from net monetary position. Inflation on 2Q24 was 18.6%2, noticeably lower than 1Q24’s 51.6%. Consequently, the income from net monetary position line recorded a 59.9% lower loss than the previous quarter, having a positive impact in the net income comparison.

In the first 6 months of 2024, BBVA Argentina net income was $153.4 billion, 15.7% lower than the $181.9 billion reported in the same period of 2023. This implied an accumulated annualized ROAE of 13.3% and a ROAA of 3.0% in 2024, compared to an accumulated annualized ROAE of 17.8% and a ROAA of 3.2% in 2023.
The 44.4% increment in real terms of the Bank’s operating income is mainly explained by (i) an increase in net interest income, mostly due to a reduction in interest expenses YoY, following the de-regulation of the time deposit minimum rate by the end of March 2024, and (ii) better net income from write-down of assets at FV through OCI, mainly due to the sale of CPI linked bonds in 1Q24. On the other hand, there is an increase in administrative expenses and other operating expenses, the latter affected by a higher cost produced by the inflation adjustment of dividend payments and an increase in expenses due to turnover tax.
Additional to these factors, the net result is impacted by the income from net monetary position line, in a context of higher inflation (2024 6-month-accumulated inflation was 79.8% while 2023 6-month-accumulated inflation was 50.7%).

Net interest income in 2Q24 was $678.6 billion, falling 27.4% or $255.5 billion QoQ, and 1.5% or $10.6 billion YoY. In 2Q24, interest income in monetary terms, decreased more than interest expenses. The former fall was due to a lower income from loans, REPOs and CPI linked bonds. The latter, is explained by lower expenses on checking accounts, time deposits and investment accounts.
In 2Q24, interest income totaled $973.3 billion, falling 35.7% compared to 1Q24 and 29.4% compared to 2Q23. Quarterly decrease is mainly driven by (i) lower income from loans, and (ii) lower income from REPOs, both explained by a decline in the monetary policy rate from 80% at the beginning of April, to 40% by mid-May and for the rest of the quarter. Also, the decline in quarterly inflation caused the decrease in income from CPI linked bonds.

Income from government securities increased 109.2% compared to 1Q24, and fell 75.3% compared to 2Q23. This is partially due to a swap of the LELIQ portfolio, which was removed from the market by the BCRA at the beginning of 1Q24, to a LECAP (Treasury bills capitalized in pesos) portfolio. This occurs as the Government seeks to transfer BCRA debt onto Treasury debt. 89% of these results correspond to government securities at fair value through OCI (of which 99% are Treasury securities) and 11% correspond to securities at amortized cost (2027 National Treasury Bonds at fixed rate, National Treasury Bonds Private 0.70 Badlar Rate maturing on November 2027, and National Treasury Bonds CER 2025, used for reserve requirement integration).
Interest income from loans and other financing totaled $373.8 billion, decreasing 23.4% QoQ and 21.0% YoY. Quarterly decline is mainly due to a decrease in average rates, in spite of growth in real terms of the loan portfolio. Interest from loans with the sharpest decline were discounted instruments, overdrafts and other loans, the latter affected by loans from the subsidiaries and in floorplanning loans.
Income from CER/UVA adjustments decreased 25.0% QoQ and increased 40.5% YoY. Quarterly decrease is explained by the delay with which the inflation adjustment effects are recorded, and impact on the subsequent financial statements, with a quarterly inflation below the previous quarter. 82% of income from interests from CER/UVA clause adjustments is explained by interests generated by CPI linked bonds.
Interest expenses totaled $294.7 billion, denoting a decrease of 49.1% QoQ and 57.3% YoY. Quarterly decline is described by lower checking accounts (in particular interest-bearing checking accounts), followed by time deposit and investment account expenses, due to lower rates (de-regulation of minimum time deposit rate).
Interests from time deposits (including investment accounts) explain 64.6% of interest expenses, versus 47.0% the previous quarter. Time deposit expenses fell 33.7% QoQ and 70.5% YoY, in spite of the time deposit portfolio growing in detriment of the interest-bearing checking accounts.

NIM
As of 2Q24, net interest margin (NIM) was 42.3%, below the 56.1% reported in 1Q24. In 2Q24, NIM in pesos was 47.7% and 2.3% in U.S. dollars.

Net fee income as of 2Q24 totaled $58.8 billion, falling 1.8% or $1.1 billion QoQ and 32.4% or $28.2 billion YoY. The decline is explained by a greater increase in expenses versus fee income, in monetary terms.
In 2Q24, fee income totaled $117.7 billion, increasing 9.0% QoQ and decreasing 4.1% YoY. Improvement in fee income is mostly explained by (i) greater fee income from credit cards, and (ii) greater fee income linked to liabilities, mainly account maintenance and bundles.
On the side of fee expenses, these totaled $58.9 billion, increasing 22.5% QoQ and 64.9% YoY. This is explained by higher expenses due to processing fees and promotions on debit and credit cards.

Quarterly results are mainly explained by a decrease in the income from government securities line item, due to the valuation of sovereign bonds at fair value through P&L. This was positively offset by a lower quarterly loss in income from foreign currency forward transactions.

The quarterly
increase in foreign exchange and gold gains is explained by a higher result both in income from foreign exchange position and income
from purchase-sale of foreign currency. The former is driven by a greater average position in foreign currency. This is added to the
effect of a lower loss from income from foreign currency forward transactions as mentioned previously.

In 2Q24 other
operating income totaled $28.7 billion, falling 14.8% or $5.0 billion QoQ, and increasing 5.1% or $1.4 billion YoY. Quarterly decrease
is mostly explained by a 44.6% fall in the Adjustments and interest on miscellaneous receivables line item, especially due to the
credit card business guarantee fund, which is valuated in foreign currency, with a lower devaluation of the Argentine peso versus de U.S.
dollar compared to the previous quarter. In addition, there was a 34.4% decline in the other operating income line. This was positively
offset by greater income from loans recovered, in particular due to a commercial loan which was considered uncollectible.

During 2Q24, personnel benefits and administrative expenses totaled $226.8 billion, mildly decreasing 0.9% or $2.1 billion compared to 1Q24, and increasing 1.5% or $3.3 billion compared to 2Q23 in real terms.
Personnel benefits increased 3.0% QoQ, and 1.7% YoY, with wages increasing in line with inflation.
As of 2Q24, administrative expenses fell 4.3% QoQ, and increased 1.2% YoY. This is maily explained by (i) rent, (ii) other administrative expenses and (iii) document distribution. The first two are related to an increase in inflation which was higher than the nominal increase of expenses in software licenses and services contracted and with the Parent company. This is enhanced by the liberation of provisions due to improvement in macroeconomic indicator estimates for the year. Regarding the decrease in document distribution expenses, this is due to the contrast generated by the renovation of card plastics in 1Q24.
The quarterly efficiency ratio as of 2Q24 was 55.3%, improving versus the 65.4% reported in 1Q24, and above the 52.0% reported in 2Q23. The quarterly decrease is explained by a greater increase in the denominator (income considering monetary position results) than the numerator (expenses), especially due to the lower quarterly inflation.
The accumulated efficiency ratio as of 2Q24 was 59.9%, below the 65.4% reported in 1Q24, and above the 56.6% reported in 2Q23. The deterioration in this ratio is due to an increase in expenses, but especially due to the significant increase in the net monetary position results due to high inflation.

In 2Q24, other operating expenses totaled $98.1 billion, decreasing 22.2% or $27.9 billion QoQ, and 9.3% or $10.0 billion YoY.
Despite a higher expense on turnover tax, due to additional provinces beginning to collect it (mainly Buenos Aires Province, as of January 2024), the cost of this tax has a downward trend driven by (i) lower interest rates in REPOs and loans, and (ii) a lower REPO position given the monetary policy set by the Government which promotes investment in Treasury debt (which does not pay turnover tax).
This improvement is negatively offset by expenses related to the inflation adjustment of dividend installment payments in the months of May, June and July.

Loans to the private sector in pesos increased 24.2% in 2Q24, and fell 10.4% YoY.

In all cases, the increment is boosted by genuine growth in real terms of the portfolio, levered on the lower market interest rates.
Loans to the private sector denominated in foreign currency increased 16.0% QoQ and 98.8% YoY. Quarterly increase is mainly explained by a 14.0% growth in financing and prefinancing of exports, and a 44.0% growth in credit cards. Loans to the private sector in foreign currency measured in U.S. dollars fell 6.0% QoQ and increased 108.4% YoY.

Cost of risk (loan loss allowances / average total loans) reached 4.72% in 2Q24 compared to 3.76% in 1Q24. Loan loss allowances increase in line with the loan portfolio, even in real terms, and cost of risk is incremented as a consequence of a lower volume of loans, in average, in the first quarter.

2Q24 total public sector exposure (excluding BCRA) totaled $2.5 trillion, increasing 87.7% or $1.2 trillion QoQ, and 96.7% or $1.2 trillion YoY.
The quarterly increase is explained by the monetary policy promoted by the Government, in the aim of removing all remunerated liabilities of the BCRA, and aiming for that liquidity to migrate to Treasury debt. This is the reason for a 112.5% higher position in National Treasury Debt in pesos, composed mainly by LECAPs, which by quarter end would reflect the monetary policy rate. BBVA Argentina’s total security portfolio is mainly LECAP (78%) and Boncer (18%) as of 2Q24. As of July 2024, the market reference rate will be that of the new instrument created by the Treasury, the LeFis (Letra Fiscal de Liquidez).
As a result, a 86.6% fall in BCRA exposure is evident, with the greatest decline in REPOs by 88.6%, denoting that liquidity has migrated onto Treasury securities. Thus, exposure to the public sector, excluding BCRA, represents 26.3% of total assets, above the 13.9% in 1Q24 and the 11.0% in 2Q23.

In 2Q24, other sources of funds totaled $2.1 trillion, decreasing 15.6% or $394.1 billion QoQ, and 2.0% or $44.4 billion YoY.
The variation in the quarter is mostly explained by the 16.6% decrease in equity. This decline is explained by (i) the reclassification of dividends payable to liabilities since the announcement of approved dividend distribution by the Shareholders’ Meeting on April 26, 2024, and later authorized by the Central Bank in May 3, 2024 for its distribution in cash or kind, and (ii) due to a lower valuation of Treasury bonds, which decreases Equity through OCI. This was positively affected by the net profits of the period.

In 2Q24, liquid assets were $4.0 trillion, falling 22.5% or $1.2 trillion versus 1Q24, and 35.7% or $2.2 trillion compared to 2Q23. This was mainly driven by a decrease in net REPO transactions by 81.1%, enhanced by the negative effect of guaranteed securities.
In the quarter, the liquidity ratio (liquid assets / total deposits) reached 69.5%. Liquidity ratio in local and foreign currency reached 61.4% and 88.6% respectively. The decline is explained by a lower position in REPOs, as well as a real term growth in total deposits of 2.6%.

BBVA Argentina continues to show strong solvency indicators on 2Q24. Capital ratio reached 25.3%, below 1Q24’s 35.6%. Capital excess over regulatory requirement was $1.3 trillion or 210.3%.
The fall in the capital ratio
is partially explained by the 16.4% increase in Risk Weighted Assets (RWA), and by a fall in ordinary capital of 16.3%. The latter is
related to (i) dividend distribution, which implied the classification to liabilities and its consequent payment, followed by (ii) the
impact of OCI in Equity. The increase in RWA is linked to the real growth in the loan portfolio, in line with the increase in market risk
requirements.
