INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Directors of
BANCO MACRO S.A.
Registered office: Sarmiento 447
Buenos Aires City
I. | Report on the financial statements |
Introduction
1. | We have audited (a) the accompanying financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. (“the Bank”) and (b) the accompanying consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the related balance sheets as of December 31, 2015, and the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows and cash equivalents for the fiscal year then ended, and (c) a summary of the significant accounting policies and additional explanatory information. |
Responsibility of the Bank’s Management and Board in connection with the financial statements
2. | The Bank’s Management and Board of Directors are in charge of the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards set forth by the BCRA (Central Bank of Argentina) and are also in charge of performing the internal control procedures that they may deem necessary to allow for the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, either due to error or irregularities. |
Auditor’s responsibility
3. | Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements based on our audit. We have performed our work in conformity with the auditing standards established by FACPCE (Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences) Technical Resolution No. 37 and with the “Minimum standards on external audits” issued by the BCRA. Such standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. |
An audit comprises the application of procedures to obtain judgmental evidence regarding figures and the information disclosed in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or irregularities. In making these risk assessments, the auditor considers the Bank’s internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design the appropriate audit procedures in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Bank’s Board of Directors and Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the judgmental evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate for our audit opinion.
Opinion
4. | In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with BCRA standards. |
Emphasis on certain issues disclosed in the financial statements
5. | Attention should be paid to note 5 to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements describing and quantifying the main differences in measurement criteria resulting from comparing BCRA accounting standards used in preparing the accompanying financial statements and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in Buenos Aires City. This issue does not modify the opinion expressed in paragraph 4, but the differences identified should be taken into account by those using the abovementioned professional accounting standards to interpret the accompanying financial statements. |
6. | As further explained in note 26. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements, certain accounting practices used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements conform with the accounting standards established by the BCRA but may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries. |
II. | Report on other legal and regulatory requirements |
In compliance with current legal requirements, we further report that:
a) | The financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1 have been transcribed into the “Inventory and Financial Statements” book of BANCO MACRO S.A. and, in our opinion, were prepared in all material respects, in conformity with the applicable Argentine Business Associations Law provisions and CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) regulations. |
b) | The financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. result from books kept, in their formal respects, in conformity with current regulations and in conformity with the provisions of CNV Resolutions Nos. 1,032/EMI and 1,996/EMI dated March 17, and May 20, 2004, respectively. |
c) | As of December 31, 2015, the liabilities accrued in employee and employer contributions to the Integrated Pension Fund System, as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 65,254,346, none of which was due and payable as of that date. |
d) | We have applied in our audit to the stand-alone financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing procedures set forth in the current professional standards. |
e) | As stated in note 17.1 to the accompanying individual financial statements, the Bank carries shareholders’ equity and a contra account to eligible assets that exceed the minimum amounts required by relevant CNV regulations for these items as of December 31, 2015. |
f) | During the year ended December 31, 2015, we invoiced fees for auditing services rendered to BANCO MACRO S.A., which represent 97% of total invoicing to the Bank for any item, 77% of total auditing services invoiced to the Bank and its subsidiaries, and 76% of total invoicing to the Bank and its subsidiaries for any item. |

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
3.3. | Unit of measurement |
The Bank’s financial statements recognize the changes in the peso purchasing power until February 28, 2003, when the adjustments to reflect those changes were discontinued, as provided by the professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires and as required by Presidential Decree 664/2003, Article N° 312 of General Resolution No. 7/2015 of the Business Association Regulatory Agency, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921 and CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) General Resolution No. 441.

3.4. | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements requires the Bank to make, in certain cases, estimates to determine the book values of assets and liabilities, income, expenses and contingencies, as well as the disclosure thereof, as of each date of accounting information filing. The Bank´s records are based on the best estimate regarding the probability of occurrence of different future events and, therefore, the final amount may differ from such estimates, which may have a positive or negative impact on future fiscal years.
3.5. | Valuation methods |
The main valuation methods used to prepare the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, were as follows:
a) | Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency: |
The assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars were valued at Central Bank benchmark US dollar exchange rate effective as of the closing date of transactions on the last respective business day. Additionally, assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies were translated at the exchange rate communicated by the Central Bank´s dealing room. Foreign exchange differences were recorded in the related statements of income.
b) | Government and private securities: |
b.1) | Government securities - Holdings booked at market value: |
They were valued at the quoted prices or present values reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be. Differences in quoted prices and present values were recorded in the related statements of income, translated into pesos, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable.
b.2) | Government securities - Holdings booked at amortized cost: |
As set forth in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5180, as supplemented, except what is mentioned in the third paragraph, they were valued at acquisition cost increased by the accrued internal rate of return, net of the related offset account, also compared with the present values calculated by the Bank, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
b.4) | Instruments issued by the Central Bank – Holdings booked at amortized cost: |
Holdings with no volatility published by the Central Bank were valued at acquisition cost plus accrued interest, exponentially applying the internal rate of return as per their issuance terms and conditions, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable. The accruals of the internal rate of return mentioned above were recorded in the related statements of income.
b.5) | Private Securities – Investment in listed private securities: |
They were valued at the quoted price as of the last respective business day. Differences in quoted prices were recorded in the related statements of income.
c) | Guaranteed loans – Presidential Decree No. 1387/2001: |
As set forth in Central Bank Communiqués “A” 4898, “A” 5180, as supplemented, the guaranteed loans issued by the Argentine Government under Presidential Decree No. 1387/01 were valued at the specific acquisition value of each security, increased by accrued income including the benchmark stabilization coefficient (CER), net of the related offset account, compared in turn with the present values reported by the Central Bank.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 533,962 and 429,982, respectively.
d) | Interest accrual: |
Interest has been accrued according to a compound interest formula in the period in which it was generated, except interest on transactions in foreign currency and those whose maturity does not exceed 92 days, on which interest has been accrued according to a simple interest formula.
The Bank suspends the interest accrual whenever loan payments are not settled (generally, after 90 days) or when the recoverability of the collection of principal or interest accrued is doubtful. Accrued interest is considered part of the loan balance when determining the allowances for loan losses. Afterwards, interest is only recognized on a cash basis.
e) | CER accrual: |
Receivables and payables have been indexed by the CER, wherever applicable, as follows:
e.1) | Guaranteed loans: as explained in Note 3.5.c). |
e.2) | Deposits and other assets and liabilities: the CER as of the last respective business day was applied. |
f) | Allowance for loan losses and provision for contingent commitments: |
These provisions have been calculated based on the estimated uncollectibility risk of the Bank's credit portfolio, which, among other factors, results from the evaluation of the degree of debtors compliance and the guarantee/security supporting the respective transactions, considering Central Bank Communiqué “A” 2950, as supplemented, and the Bank’s provisioning policies.
When loans covered by specific allowances are settled or generate a reversal of the allowances recorded in the current fiscal year, and in cases where the allowances set in prior years exceed what is considered necessary, the excess allowance is reversed with effects on income for the current fiscal year.
The recovery of receivables previously classified under “Debit-balance control memorandum accounts - Receivables classified as irrecoverable” are recorded directly in the related statements of income.
The Bank assesses the credit risk related to possible commitments and determines the appropriate amount of allowances to be recorded. The allowances related to amounts recorded in memorandum accounts, contingent commitments, are included under “Provisions”.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
g) | Other receivables from financial intermediation and Other liabilities from financial intermediation: |
g.1) | Amounts receivable from spot and forward sales pending settlement and amounts payable for spot and forward purchases pending settlement: |
They were valued based on the prices agreed upon for each transaction, plus related premiums accrued.
g.2) | Securities and foreign currency to be received for spot and forward purchases pending settlement and to be delivered for spot and forward sales pending settlement: |
i. | With volatility (active market): they were valued at the effective quoted prices for each of them at the last respective business day. Differences in quoted prices were recorded in the related statements of income. |
ii. | Without volatility (without active market): they were valued at their cost value increased exponentially by their internal rate of return. Such accruals were recorded in the related statements of income. |
g.3) | Debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts: |
i. | Debt securities: they were valued as provided by Central Bank Communiqué “A” 4414, at their cost value, increased exponentially by their internal rate of return, translated into pesos according to the method described in Note 3.5.a), as the case may be. |
ii. | Certificates of participation: they were stated at cost or face value increased as the case may be, by interest accrued until the last respective day, translated into Argentine pesos according to the method described in Note 3.5.a), as appropriate. |
The values recorded, net of allowances, do not exceed the recoverable values from the respective trusts.
g.4) | Unlisted corporate bonds purchased: |
They were valued by the accrual method based on their internal rate of return, as provided by Central Bank Communiqué "A" 4414, as supplemented. Such accruals were recorded in the related statements of income.
g.5) | Non subordinated corporate bonds issued: |
They were valued at the amount due for principal and interest accrued, translated into pesos pursuant to the method described in Note 3.5.a). Such accruals were recorded in the related statements of income.
g.6) | Receivables from forward transactions without delivery of underlying assets: |
They were valued at the amounts outstanding originated in forward transactions of foreign currency payables in pesos without delivery of the underlying asset. Such amounts arise from the difference between quoted price of transactions on the last respective business day and the related future price agreed.
h) | Receivables from financial leases: |
In accordance with Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5047, as supplemented, they were valued according to the discounted value of the sum of minimum installments pending collection (excluding any contingent installments), from the previously agreed residual value and the purchase options, for the financial lease agreements in which the Bank acts as lessor. The discounted value is calculated by applying the imputed interest rate of each lease agreement.
The effective financial lease agreements do not represent significant amounts with respect to the total financing granted by the Bank. Additionally, their characteristics are among the usual ones for this kind of transactions, and there are no differentiating issues of any kind compared with the transactions agreed on the Argentine financial market. These transactions are distributed among the Bank’s customers, and there are no pre-established contingent installments or automatic renewal clauses.

Cash and cash equivalents | 18,907,789 | 14,690,022 |
4. | INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX |
The Bank calculates income tax by applying the effective 35% rate to the estimated taxable income for each fiscal year, without considering the effect of temporary differences between book and taxable income.
In 1998, Law No. 25,063 established minimum presumed income tax for a ten-year term. At present, after subsequent extensions, such tax is effective through December 30, 2019. This tax is supplementary to income tax, while the latter is levied on the taxable income for the year, minimum presumed income tax is a minimum levy assessment by applying 1% over 20% of certain assets as provided by the law for financial institutions. Therefore, the Bank’s tax obligation for each year will be equal to the higher of these taxes. However, if minimum presumed income tax exceeds income tax in a given tax year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of any income tax in excess of minimum presumed income tax that may occur in any of the following ten years, once accumulated net operating losses (NOLs) have been used.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 2,207,000 and 1,785,000, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed for fiscal years ended on such dates.

(1) | Additionally, according to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, individual and consolidated income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, would have increased by 100,610. |
(a) | Holdings of government securities, instruments issued by the Central Bank and credit assistance to the nonfinancial government sector: these holdings and financing are valued based on the specific regulations and standards issued by the Argentine government and the Central Bank, which set forth, among other issues, the use of present values, technical values and offset accounts, as explained in Notes 3.5.b.2), 3.5.b.4) and 3.5.c). Pursuant to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, the securities, instruments and assistance mentioned in those notes should be stated at their market and/or present values, as the case may be. In addition, current Central Bank regulations establish that financing to the nonfinancial government sector is not subject to loan-loss provisioning, whereas the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires require that assets in general to be compared with their recoverable value every time financial statements are prepared. |

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
(b) | Business combinations: under the standards set forth by Central Bank, business acquisitions are recorded according to the book values of the acquired company and, if the purchase price exceeds the book value, the excess amount is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a positive goodwill. On the other hand, if the purchase price is lower than book value, the difference is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a negative goodwill. If the goodwill is positive, Central Bank standards establish that such goodwill should be amortized under the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of ten years. If the goodwill is negative, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3984 establishes specific amortization methods; the maximum amortization allowed per year is 20%. |
According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, business combinations are recorded based on the market values of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets and the difference between the purchase price and the identifiable net asset measurement value is recorded as either a positive or a negative goodwill, as the case may be. If a positive goodwill is recognized, this goodwill will be amortized systematically over the estimated useful life, unless it has an indefinite useful life considering the estimates made by the Bank´s Management, in which case it shall not be amortized, but compared with its recoverable value as of each year-end. If a negative goodwill is recognized due to expected losses or future expenses of the acquired entity and which should not have been recorded as liabilities as of the acquisition date, it will either be charged to the statement of income according to the change in specific circumstances that gave rise to it or systematically, taking into account an average weighted useful life of the acquired entity’s assets subject to depreciation and amortization.
(c) | Subsidiary Banco del Tucumán SA prepares its financial statements in conformity with Central Bank rules which differ from the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires. |
(d) | Income tax: The Bank and its subsidiaries determine income tax applying the effective rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of the temporary differences between book and taxable income. According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, income tax should be booked following the deferred tax method, according to which (i) in addition to the current tax payable, either an asset (if certain conditions are met) or a liability is recognized for deferred taxes related to the tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax valuation of assets and liabilities, and (ii) a tax expense (income) is recognized in relation to the portion involving the current tax expense (income) as well as the one involving the deferred tax expense (income), resulting from the creation and reversal of the abovementioned temporary differences in the year. Under Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, a deferred tax asset is recognized when there are unused NOLs or tax credits that can be deducted from future taxable income, provided they are likely. |
(e) | The Bank books the effects of the Argentine Supreme Court (CSJN) rulings dated December 27, 2006, and August 28, 2007, upon payment of such precautionary measures, in conformity with Central Bank indications in the notice dated August 4, 2008. According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, the Bank should have recorded a liability related to this item. Additionally, as explained in Note 3.5.m), the Bank booked certain provisions that should not have been booked under the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, in view of their remote probability of occurrence (see Note 21.). |
6. | IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) |
On February 12, 2014 the Central Bank, through Communiqué “A” 5541 established the general guidelines towards conversion to the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for preparing financial statements of the entities under its supervision, for the annual fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018 as well as those of interim-periods.
According to such conversion process, on March 27, 2015, the Bank presented to the Central Bank, their own implementation plan together with the appointment of a person in charge, according to Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5635, which was considered and approved by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2015. Additionally, on September 30, 2015, the Bank presented to the Central Bank the implementation plan update, which was considered and approved by the Board of Directors on September 16, 2015.
As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Bank is implementing the abovementioned IFRS conversion process.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
- | debt securities related to Loma Blanca Financial Trust. |

Additionally, Note 7.1. to the consolidated financial statements, includes a list of the holdings for investment held by the Bank´s subsidiaries.
16.2 | Trusts created using financial assets transferred by the Bank |
The Bank transferred financial assets (loans) to trusts for the purpose of issuing and selling securities for which collection is guaranteed by the cash flow resulting from such assets or group of assets. This way the funds that were originally used to finance the loans are obtained earlier.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 35,339 and 20,668, respectively.
Additionally, Note 7.2. to the consolidated financial statements includes a list of those trusts with similar purposes to those included in this note, but created with corpus assets transferred by the Bank’s subsidiaries.
16.3 | Trusts guaranteeing loans granted by the Bank |
As it is common in the Argentine banking market, the Bank requires, in some cases, that the debtors present certain assets or entitlements to receive assets in a trust as a guarantee for the loans granted. This way, the risk of losses is minimized and access to the security is guaranteed in case of the debtor's noncompliance.
Trusts usually act as conduits to collect cash from the debtor’s flow of operations and send it to the bank for the payment of the debtor’s loans and thus ensure compliance with the obligations assumed by the trustor and guaranteed through the trust.
Additionally, other guarantee trusts manage specific assets, mainly real property.
Provided there is no noncompliance or delays by debtor in the obligations assumed with the beneficiary, the Trustee shall not execute the guaranty and all excess amounts as to the value of the obligations are reimbursed by the Trustee to the debtor.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed by the Bank and Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) amounted to 176,113 and 493,078, respectively.
16.4 | Trusts in which the Bank acts as trustee (management) |
The Bank performs management duties of the corpus assets directly according to the agreements, performing only trustee duties and has no other interests in the trust.
In no case shall the Trustee be liable with its own assets or for any obligation deriving from the performance as trustee. Such obligations do not imply any type of indebtedness or commitment for the trustee and they will be fulfilled only through trust assets. In addition, the trustee will not encumber the corpus assets or dispose of them beyond the limits established in the related trust agreements. The fees earned by the Bank from its role as trustee are calculated according to the terms and conditions of the agreements.
Trusts usually manage funds derived from the activities performed by trustors, for the following main purposes:
- | Guaranteeing, in favor of the beneficiary the existence of the resources required to finance and/or pay certain obligations, such as the payment of amortization installments regarding work or service certificates, and the payment of invoices and fees stipulated in the related agreements. |
- | Promoting the production development of the private economic sector at a provincial level. |

In addition, the Credit Risk Management area is in charge of interpreting, executing and guaranteeing the application of the General Credit Policy approved by the Board of Directors, ensuring proper identification, assessment, control, follow-up and mitigation of the credit risk, pursuant to the internal and external standards and regulations on the matter. Credit Risk Management reports functionally to the Deputy General Commercial Manager.
Comprehensive risk managment
“The Comprehensive Risk Management area is formed by the Financial Risk, Credit Risk and Operational Risk sectors. The main procedures carried out are:
· | Stress tests |
The process of stress test includes documenting and formalizing the program as well as the persons in charge of carrying it out, the frequency of testing and the validation of the system. It also contemplates the Contingency Plan based on the test results. The Risk Management Committee leads and coordinates this application.
· | Economic capital calculation |
The Comprehensive risk Department estimates the economic capital for each one of the individual risks (market, liquidity, interest rate, credit, counterparty credit, concentration, operational, securitization, strategic and reputational) determined for the Bank on a consolidated basis. The methods used for subsidiaries are exactly the same.
Quantified economic capital was implemented as a formal procedure, both currently and prospectively, and is a tool used in the day-to-day management of risks, in preparing the Business Plan and the Stress Tests.
The methods used to measure the economic capital of each risk were documented and approved by Management, pursuant to the internal rules on Corporate Governance and Risk Management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
The most significant risks managed by the Bank are disclosed as follows:
· | Financial risk |
Financial risk is understood to be the group comprising Liquidity, Market and Interest Rate risks, which, independently or in an interrelated manner, can affect the Bank’s liquidity and solvency.
Definitions
Liquidity Risk is mainly understood to be the funding liquidity risk, defined as that in which Grupo Macro is unable to efficiently meet cash flows that are both expected and unexpected, current and noncurrent and with guarantees, without hindering daily operations or the financial situation. Market Liquidity Risk is understood to be the risk that the Bank may not be able to offset or unwind a position at market price.
Market Risk is defined as the possibility of incurring losses in on-and off-balance sheet positions as a result of adverse fluctuations in the market price for various assets.
Interest Rate Risk is defined as the possibility that there may be changes in the Bank’s financial situation as a result of fluctuations in the interest rates, which may have adverse effects on the Bank’s net financial income and financial value.
Process
The Bank has strategies, policies and limits defined for each exposure which have been approved by the Board of Directors within the framework of Market, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk management. These are also applicable to the subsidiaries in a consolidated framework. This process is reviewed periodically by the Risk Management Committee in accordance with Central Bank guidelines for Financial Institutions Risk Management and the adjustments or amendments approved by the Board of Directors.
The purpose of the Financial Risk Policy is to ensure that the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management have the proper procedures, tools and information enabling them to measure, manage and control the applicable risks.
The Risk heads will report regularly, to the Assets and Liabilities (Cap) and the Risk Management Committees on the financial risk exposure and the effects that may be caused in the Bank´s financial margin. A set of predetermined reports is prepared enabling a clear comparison between the existing exposure and the policy on limits.
The Cap is in charge of setting out the Bank’s financial strategy, analyzing the markets and establishing the policies on assets and liabilities, considering, market, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks.
The Financial Risk area uses the following instruments in preparing its reports: sensitivity analysis, stress tests, index curves and other simulations. The adoption of measures regarding the detected departures based on the information provided is left to Senior Management’s discretion, for which it must take into consideration several factors such as the market conditions or the complexity and variety of transactions, considering the defined action plans. The Risk Management Committee learns about these situations and the plans implemented, analyzing the impact on risk exposure. As a result, it may require an explanation about the case from Senior Management or, based on its survey, recommend adjustments to the policies, procedures and limits to the Board of Directors.
The goal set by the Board of Directors is to maintain an adequate degree of liquidity through the prudent management of assets and liabilities, in regard to both the cash flow as well as the concentration thereof.
The administration of liquidity is supported by an adequate planning process that considers the current and future cash needs, as well as possible changes in economic, political, regulatory and other conditions.
This makes it necessary to identify forecast and possible cash outflows, as well as alternative strategies to handle assets and liabilities in critical situations.
The reports prepared contemplate the following aspects: changes in yield curves; a mismatch of assets and liabilities in relation to currency, rates, terms and based on their volatility and speed of realization; changes, rates and volatility of term deposits, and the participation of institutional investors; liquidity and interest rate risk; established limits and issuance of warnings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
The Bank evaluates the Liquidity Risk situation through different tools, some of which include:
- | Cash Flow at Risk (CFAR): it is calculated as the difference between the liquidity gap, obtained in the average or expected scenario and that resulting from the critical scenario. The liquidity average scenario is obtained from the arithmetic mean of simulated liquidity scenarios, while the critical scenario is obtained by applying the percentile related to that confidence level for that set of simulation; |
- | stress tests: they are used to quantify the impact as a result of illiquidity scenarios arising from different shocks in the risk factors involved; |
- | Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): this indicator shows the liquidity coverage over the outflows of funds within the next 30 days. Through different weightings factors established by Basel, the indicator is able to capture those outflows in systemic stress situations. |
Market Risk is measured by computing the Var (value at risk), which consists in the maximum expected loss for a trading portfolio over a certain period of time and with a 99% confidence level.
As to the interest rate risk, Economic Value methodology (EVM), is used to measure the risk of sensitive assets and liabilities to interest rate. Through stochastic processes, different interest rate scenarios are estimated, for which different Bank´s economic values will be obtained. Var is the difference between the expected economic value (“mean value”) and the economic value for a specific confidence level and holding period as a result of simulations.
There are Contingency Plans which are assessed and reviewed on a regular basis by the Risk Management Committee.
Credit risk
The Credit Risk Area reporting to the Comprehensive Risk Management area participates in the development of the individual stress test program for credit risk and comprehensive stress tests, cooperates in defining scenarios and follows up results. It also participates in the design and implementation of contingency plans for credit risk purposes.
It is in charge of reviewing and adapting methodology and the economic capital calculation model for credit risk purposes through the capital adequacy assessment process, which, with different development and implementation stages, form part of the Bank Action Plan being undertaken to adjust to local regulations (Communiqués “A” 5394 and “A” 5398), the Basel principles and best practices for risk management.
This area is in charge of proposing and monitoring the internal limits of tolerance to credit risk, as well as defining indicators, specifying their calculation method and expressing the grounds used for alert and cap selection. Its include an automated tool for the calculation of key performance indicators, for which alert and limit values have been determined in order to monitor business changes according to the risk appetite defined by the Board of Directors. The results produced by this tool are included in a report on the credit risk tolerance limits, which is submitted to the Risk Management Committee for its consideration and to adopt corrective measures where necessary
Securitization risk
The Bank and its subsidiaries do not assume any significant risks involving securitization activities. This operation consists mainly in financing, such as prepayments of prices and underwriting in the placement of debt securities of Corporate Banking customers, loans to trusts which are given the same treatment as legal entities and potentially securitizing the proprietary portfolio.
Holding debt securities or certificates of participation in trust generally creates exposure related mainly to credit risk and interest rate risk, just as in a traditional credit transaction. Therefore, they are included in the assessment and administration of each one of the risks involved.
Operational risk
The Bank adopted the definition of Operational risk under the Basel II Accord and the definition established by the Central Bank through its Communiqué “A” 5398, which consists in the risk of suffering losses due to the lack of adjustment or defects in the internal processes, systems or persons, or due to external events.
This definition includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputation risk.
The Bank has policies, procedures and structures, appointing a Head of Operational Risk. The Operational Risk Committee’s main mission is to secure an Operational Risk Management plan which includes policies, programs, measurements and competencies for identifying, assessing and managing risks, with the purpose of assisting Area Managers and the Bank’s Board of Directors, in an environment of rapidly changing and significant risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
In this context, the Evolutionary Comprehensive Operational Risk Management Model was developed, which involves the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of operational risks. A training plan was designed to begin conveying the concepts inherent to Operational Risk and the cultural change that this generates, and an implementation plan of the model was put into practice to achieve full implementation of all of its stages.
A quantitative approach is used to measure operational risk and technological risk, which includes the following:
- | assessing all relevant processes; |
- | integrating the operational and technological risk assessment models; |
- | applying risk impact and frequency evaluation matrices for the assessment of processes and subprocesses; |
- | the quantitative assessment of the risks, identifying action plans and proposals for improving the critical processes, all in full compliance with the objectives set forth; |
- | the procedure to gather information on events and losses, the purpose of which is to reduce incidents and loss amounts, thus incorporating a quantitative assessment into the risk management model, by registering risk events and losses in a centralized database; |
- | the IT tool put into practice to manage operational risk, used to manage identified risks and calculate the different indicators so as to have an information system providing an overall view of the results of the different practices and tools involved in operational risk management; and |
- | the methodology through which the IT areas identify, assess and control the risks related to the Bank’s information assets and to specific events, creating information that is later taken into account in decision-making processes. |
As regards Risk Management related to the IT and information systems, the Bank has contingency and business continuity plans in place to minimize the risks that could affect the Bank’s continuity of operations.
The Bank has an incentives system to manage operational risk in such a way that it would encourage involvement and risk assessment. The risk assessment policy has also been reinforced for new products and in modifications to existing products.
In addition, the implementation of improvements on the different functions of the risk management system also continued.
Credit risk management
Credit Risk Management is in charge of interpreting, executing and guaranteeing the application of the General Credit Policy approved by the Board of Directors, ensuring proper identification, assessment, control, follow-up and mitigation of the credit risk, pursuant to the internal and external standards and regulations on the matter.
Credit risk results from the possibility of loss derived from customers or counter-parties from fully or partially breaching financial obligations they have undertaken with the Bank.
The Bank has counter-party and credit risk policies and strategies the purpose of which is to ensure that risks fall within a risk tolerance level decided by the Board of Directors and Central Bank and other oversight agency regulations.
It has the proper structure, procedures and different tools (information systems, rating and monitoring systems, measurement models, recovery policies) which enable it to handle risk effectively.
For loan granting, there are specific policies and procedures for Corporate Banking clients and Consumer Banking clients, which in turn differ, according to the segment to which they belong (Public or Private Payroll, Retirees or Open Market).
- 34 - |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
Credit risk assessment for Consumer Banking clients includes the use of risk applications based on screening and scoring methods related to an arrears level. There is also a mass-scale and centralized qualification process for clients (which allows branches to provide assistance within defined margins) and credit prequalification models for assessment of potential customers from different sales campaigns.
Loans to Corporate Banking clients are analyzed in Credit Committee, which are made up of business and risk area officers from different levels, with powers to operate within them. Specialized risk analysts prepare a risk report per client (or group of companies), which serves to support the credit decisions made by Committee members. There are also decentralized assessment methods for Agro, SMEs and Microprojects, including screening and scoring parameters, which allow speeding up the approval of predefined products and smaller amounts. In order to authorize transactions involving lower amounts or self-liquidating collaterals, or temporary transactions, special credit powers have been granted to higher-rank officers based on their knowledge, experience and training.
Once the credit limits have been approved, the Credit Administration and Transactions Department controls the formalities and settlement of the transactions and every month it reviews the classification of debtors and the debtors’ guarantees, assessing the sufficiency of the provisions according to the standards established by the Central Bank.
In order to manage credit risk, assessment or score models are used (for admission, behavior and collections) for Retail Banking and Company Rating Models at different stages of the credit cycle, allocating an internal risk rating to customers, according to which the assigned credit limits are managed and according to which the portfolio is monitored. These tools are supplemented with the Expected Loss and Provision Models prepared by Management.
In turn, the Credit recovery Management Department is in charge of managing the recovery of non performing loans, aiming at integrating these actions into the other risk instances, which increases the efficacy of collection processes and provides information on recovery management results, so as to adjust the origination and expected loss models.
20. | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY POLICY |
As a financial institution, Banco Macro SA’s business activity is governed by Financial Institutions Law No. 21,526, as supplemented, and the regulations issued by the Central Bank. Moreover, the Bank adheres to the good banking practices laid out in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5201 (Guidelines for Corporate Governance in Financial Institutions) as supplemented.
The Bank publicly trades its shares on the BCBA and, thus, it is subject to the regulations issued by the CNV.
Through General Resolution No. 622/13, the CNV established the minimum contents of the Corporate Governance Code, adding notions of good corporate governance to corporate management as guidelines or recommendations that seek to provide transparency thereto. The CNV does not require that the recommendations be implemented, although it does require that the Bank explain the reasons why it decided not to adopt the good practices described in such resolution by publishing a document called Information Report on Corporate Governance together with the letter to the shareholders for the fiscal year; the report is available on the website and that of such enforcement agency.
This regulation reinforces the notions contained in Capital Markets Law establishing principles such as “full disclosure”, “transparency”, “efficiency”, “public investor protection”, “equal footing between investors” and “protection of the stability of financial institutions and financial intermediaries”.
Moreover, as the Bank lists its shares on the NYSE, qualifying as a foreign private issuer, it is required to comply with certain corporate governance standards as established in section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, as amended.

The Incentives Committee is the body responsible for approving the Compensation Policy (salary and variable incentives), as well as any reviews it may require.
The Incentives System in place is based on assessing personal competence and performance associated with the compliance of non-related organizational objectives to be compensated based on extraordinary profit targets or direct financial achievement. The system is also adjusted according to the objective premise of generating sustained revenues (on a sustainable basis), thus, when establishing the total amount of compensation with regard to income (loss) for the year, extraordinary income is not taken into account. The system only provides cash compensation.
The Compensation Policy also includes a specific chapter regarding how remuneration is set and adjusted. In this case, the idea is to compensate personnel by ensuring performance recognition, internal equity, external competitiveness, productivity, efficiency and added value, finding an appropriate point of equilibrium with the business’s economic capacity and consistency in the long term.

The Bank Management and its legal advisors consider no further significant accounting effects than could arise from the effect of the above mentioned situations.
22. | TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS |
22.1. | The AFIP (Federal Public Revenue Agency) and provincial tax authorities have reviewed the tax returns filed by the Bank related to income tax, minimum presumed income tax and other taxes (mainly turnover tax). |
The most significant ongoing claims arising from the previous paragraph are detailed below:
a) | Afip challenged the income tax returns filed by the former Banco Bansud SA (for the fiscal years since June 30, 1995, through June 30, 1999, and of the irregular six-month period ended December 31, 1999) and by the former Banco Macro SA (for the fiscal years ended since December 31, 1998, through December 31, 2000). |
The matter under discussion that has not been resolved as yet and on which the regulatory agency bases its position is the impossibility of deducting credits that have collateral security, an issue that has been addressed by the Federal Administrative Tax Court and CSJN in similar cases, which have issued resolutions that are favorable to the Bank’s position.
b) | Afip challenged a compensation amount arising from the tax on bank account transactions for 2008, which was used to settle the amount reported in the income tax return filed by former Banco Bisel for tax period 2008, taking into account that the origin could only be computed as from the tax period following the one in which it was used. An appeal was filed with the Federal Administrative Tax Court in order to challenge the resolution issued by the Afip. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
c) | City of Buenos Aires tax authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to Banco Macro SA for fiscal period 2002, in relation to the treatment of the compensation bond, over which a precautionary measure was issued in 2009 in favor of the Bank by the Federal Court of First Instance in Countentios and Administrative No. 6, which was confirmed by the Sala IV of the CNACAF. |
d) | City of Buenos Aires tax authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to former Banco Privado de Inversiones for fiscal periods 2002 and 2003. On October 19, 2015, Courtroom II of the Administrative and Tax Contentious Court of Appeals confirmed the trial court decision as it agreed with the Bank in that the “compensation bond” is not subject to turnover tax. On December 21, 2015, the Bank was notified that the Buenos Aires City Government filed an action for declaration of unconstitutionality with the Buenos Aires City Highest Court, which is pending resolution. In 2009, the Buenos Aires City Government filed a collection claim and obtained an attachment for 827 (see also Note 8). |
Additionally, there are other appeals filed with the Tax Court, which are not relevant.
22.2. | Moreover, as a result of a lawsuit filed in 2007 by consumers’ association “ADECUA” claiming about various aspects related to the collection of the “life insurance” charge for products marketed by former Banco Privado de Inversiones SA, on November 29, 2010, the parties reached a settlement agreement, approved by the Federal Commercial Court in and for the City of Buenos Aires No. 3, clerk’s office No. 5, and complied with by the Bank. |
However, on March 22, 2013, the judge hearing the case ordered to adjust the performance of the agreement, as regards the reimbursement of the funds to the customers from whom the charge had been collected, a resolution which was appealed by the Bank.
On April 24, 2014, the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeals filed and changed what was resolved in First Instance, ordered the Agreement nullity, to continue with the proceeding and to allow the Bank to answer the complaint. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank.
Additionally, there are other claims filed by consumers’ associations against the Bank, which are not relevant.
The Bank’s Management and its tax and legal advisors believe there are no additional significant effects to those already recognized in the books that may result from the final outcome of such claims.
23. | CHANGES IN THE ARGENTINE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, AND THE SITUATIONS OF THE FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL SYSTEM AND THE BANK |
The international and local macroeconomic context generates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress as a result of the volatility of financial assets, the foreign exchange market and the economic level growth, among other issues, which has been observed globally with various degrees of intensity and different behavior, over the last few years. In addition, at a local level, there is hight volatility of government and private securities and in interest rates, as well as somewhat increase significant changes in the prices for other relevant economic variables, such as salary costs, the prices of the main raw materials and the exchange rate. In addition, resolution is currently pending in a claim against the Argentine Government by holders of government securities who did not join the debt restructuring carried out in 2005 and 2010, which has generated consequences in the interest payment service of certain government securities.
Specifically in connection with the Argentine foreign exchange market, from October 2011 through mid-December 2015, there were certain restrictions to access the MUyLC (single and freely-floating foreign exchange market), the only market approved by Argentine regulations for purchasing and selling foreign exchange. As from that date, the new authorities of the Federal Government made appropriate amendments to current foreign exchange regulations, while there was a significant Argentine peso depreciation with respect to the US dollar.
The Federal Government has also implemented new monetary and tax policies, such as the regulation of lending and borrowing rates, restrictions to foreign currency positions and operations involving foreign-currency futures at the different markets, among others.
Therefore, the Bank’s Management permanently monitors the change of the abovementioned situations in international and local markets, to determine the possible actions to adopt and to identify the possible impacts on its financial situation that may need to be reflected in the financial statements for future periods.

Consequently, upcoming Shareholders´ Meeting shall apply 1,001,684 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to increase such legal reserve. |
b) | As established in the issuance conditions for the instruments representing long term debt mentioned in Note 11.a.1), the upcoming Shareholders’ Meeting shall apply 190,198 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set a special reserve for the interest to be paid upon the maturities, taking place in June and December 2016. |
c) | Under Law No. 25,063, dividends to be distributed in cash or in kind in excess of taxable income accumulated as of the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the payment or distribution date shall be subject to a 35% income tax withholding as a single and definitive payment. For this purpose, income to be considered in each year will result from adding dividends or earnings from other corporations not computed in the calculation of those earnings in the same tax period(s) to the earnings determined under application of Income Tax Law, and deducting the tax paid for the tax period(s) in which the earnings, or the related proportional amount, being distributed were generated. |

Therefore, earnings may only be distributed to the extent that income was booked, after deducting, on a nonaccounting basis, from unappropriated retained earnings and the voluntary reserve for future distribution of earnings, the amounts of the legal and statutory reserves which are mandatory, the positive net difference between the book value and market value or present value reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be, of government debt securities and/or monetary regulation instruments issued by the Central Bank not valued at market value and the amounts recognized in the bank assets due to court cases related to deposits, among other items.
On December 31, 2015, an adjustment to Unappropriated retained earnings was performed as a result of the positive difference arise from the book value and the market value of unlisted government securities for an amount of 31,020.
In addition, the maximum amount to be distributed cannot exceed the minimum capital requirements, considering solely for this purpose a 75% incremental adjustment to the total minimum capital required.
Finally, the Bank shall verify whether –after the proposed earning distribution– a capital maintenance margin equal to 0.875% of risk-weighted assets is kept, apart from the minimum capital required by regulations, to be integrated by of level-1 ordinary capital (COn1), net of deductible items (CDCOn1).
e) | Under CNV General Resolution No. 593, the Shareholders’ Meeting in charge of analyzing the annual financial statements will be required to establish a specific use for the Bank’s retained earnings, whether through the actual distribution of dividends, the capitalization thereof through the delivery of bonus shares, the creation of voluntary reserves additional to the legal reserve or a combination of any of these applications. |
Among other issues, the Regular Shareholders´ Meeting held on April 23, 2015, decided to distribute cash dividends up to the amount of 596,254. Such distribution is pending approval by Central Bank.
