Message from the CFO
“In spite of a less favorable global context and a local environment characterized by the difficulty of correcting current macroeconomic distortions and of meeting the established objectives in the loan agreement reached in March of last year with the International Monetary Fund, economic activity has shown dynamism in 2022. GDP grew 5.2% in 2022 and would fall 2.5% in 2023, according to BBVA Research. The global context, high local inflation (94.8% accumulated as of December 2022, and foreseeably higher in 2023), financial volatility, the limited leeway to adopt new stimulus measures, and uncertainty about economic policy in a presidential-election year, legitimate the expectations of a contraction of GDP in 2023.
In March 2023, private credit in pesos for the system grew 78% YoY, while BBVA Argentina increased its private loan portfolio in pesos by 117%. Unlike the System, the Bank’s YoY loan growth exceeded that of inflation (which reached 104.3% YoY as of March 2023), and achieved to increase its consolidated market share in the year by 144 bps, reaching 9.33%. Regarding private deposits, the system grew 106% while the Bank grew 98%, in this case the System beating inflation in the year. Consolidated market share of deposits for BBVA Argentina was 6.83%.
Referring to BBVA Argentina performance, a better operating income in March 2023 was a product of an improvement in interest income, boosted by the loan portfolio.
As of March 2023, BBVA Argentina reached an NPL ratio of 1.31%, way below the last available system NPL (March 2023) of 3.15%. Concerning liquidity and solvency indicators, the Bank ends the quarter with 78.7% and 27.9% respectively, levels which undoubtedly allow to address business growth in the case of an economic recovery.
As of the date of this report, the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 28, 2023, approved the authorization request to the BCRA for the distribution of $50.4 billion, $35.6 billion of which were declared and approved by said Meeting and are added to the $14.8 billion pending distribution.
Relative to digitalization, our service offering has evolved in such way that by the end of March 2023, retail digital client penetration reached 62%, remaining stable versus a year back, while that of retail mobile clients reached 56% from 54% in the same period. In the quarter, new client acquisition through digital channels over traditional ones was 72%, while in 1Q22 it was 69%.
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. The Bank works with the highest integrity, long-term vision and best practices, and is present through the BBVA Group in the main sustainability indexes.
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.”

BBVA Argentina 1Q23 net income was $15.0 billion, declining 27.8% or $5.8 billion quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and increasing 82.2% or $6.8 billion year-over-year (YoY). This implied a quarterly ROAE of 13.7% and a quarterly ROAA of 2.6%.
Quarterly operating results are mainly explained by greater interest income driven by (i) better interest income results as a product of a higher monetary policy rate compared to the previous quarter, which allowed a higher average interest rate, and (ii) a decline in other operating expenses.
This effect was partially offset by an increase in (i) net fee income and, (ii) an increase in administrative expenses.
It is worth mentioning that on 1Q23, the lines net income from measurement of financial instruments at FV through P&L and other operating income, respectively, include the effect of the sale of the 49% remaining position of the Bank in Prisma, which generated a total benefit before taxes of $7.1 billion at current currency. Additionally, a marginal effect of this sale is also seen in the line foreign exchange and gold gains.

Net Income for the period was highly impacted by income from net monetary position, as inflation increased from 17.3%1 in 4Q22 to 21.7%1 in 1Q23.
Lastly, the OCI line totaled a loss of $644 million, mainly due to results of financial instruments at fair value through OCI.

Net interest income for 1Q23 was $131.2 billion, increasing 1.6% or $2.1 billion QoQ, and 63.7% or $51.0 billion YoY. In 1Q23, interest income, in monetary and percentage terms, increased more than interest expense, mainly due to (i) increase in income from interests from loans, in particular overdrafts, discounted instruments and credit cards, and (ii) increases in income from REPOs. The items mentioned take place in a context of increasing interest rates of products, derived from an increase in the monetary policy rate by the BCRA during the previous and current quarter.
In 1Q23, interest income totaled $249.2 billion, increasing 1.5% compared to 4Q22 and 76.7% compared to 1Q22. Quarterly increase is mainly driven by (i) an increase in interests from loans, mainly overdrafts, discounted instruments and credit cards, especially due to the increment in interest, and (ii) an increase in REPO premiums.
Income from government securities increased 1.1% compared to 4Q22, and 113.4% compared to 1Q22. This is partially due to the higher average position in LELIQ, added to a slightly higher average monetary policy rate compared to the prior quarter. 93% of these results are explained by government securities at fair value through OCI (of which 72% are BCRA securities) and 4% are securities at amortized cost (2027 National Treasury Bonds at fixed rate and National Treasury Bonds Private 0.70 Badlar Rate maturing on November 2027, used for reserve requirement integration).
6 |
Interest income from loans and other financing totaled $95.2 billion, increasing 9.9% QoQ and 71.5% YoY. Quarterly growth is mainly due to an increase in overdrafts by 39.6%, discounted instruments by 12.2% and credit cards by 8.3%, all of them denoting the increase in rates.
Income from CER/UVA adjustments fell 25.3% QoQ and 48.8% YoY. Quarterly decline is explained by the delay with which the inflation adjustment effects are recorded, and impact on the subsequent financial statements.72% of income from interests from CER/UVA clause adjustments is explained by interests generated by bonds linked to such indexes.
Interest expenses totaled $118.0 billion, denoting a 1.4% increase QoQ and a 93.9% increase YoY. Quarterly increase is described by higher time deposit expenses, offset by a fall in CER/UVA adjustment expenses (connected to CER-linked time deposits).
Interests from time deposits (including investment accounts) explain 82.8% of interest expenses, versus 79.9% the previous quarter. These increased 5.1% QoQ and 120.0% YoY.
NIM
As of 1Q23, net interest margin (NIM) was 31.3%, above the 30.3% reported in 4Q22. In 1Q23, NIM in pesos was 32.4% and 2.0% in U.S. dollars.

Net fee income as of 1Q23 totaled $11.3 billion, decreasing 8.5% or $1.0 billion QoQ and 16.4% or $2.2 billion YoY.
In 1Q23, fee income totaled $22.0 billion, falling 8.7% QoQ and 17.0% YoY. The quarterly decrease is mainly explained by (i) the 12.7% fall in fees from credit cards, considering that this line includes Puntos BBVA program negative effect, and that there has been an increased exchange of BBVA credit points due to seasonal factors, and (ii) fees linked to liabilities, where a decrease is observed compared to 4Q22 due to the price increase applied during said quarter.
Regarding fee expenses, these totaled $10.7 billion, falling 9.0% QoQ and 17.5% YoY. Lower expenses in the quarter are partially explained by increased expenditures at year end, linked to commercial promotions and acquisition costs.

Quarterly results are mainly explained by an increase in the income from foreign currency forward transactions line item.
In the year, a contrast is generated by the sale procedure of the Bank’s remaining position in Prisma. As of March 18, 2022, the transfer of the whole remaining stock participation of the Bank in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. was completed for a price of USD 40 million. This generated profit of $5.4 billion in the Income from write-down or sale of financial assets line item.

During 1Q23, personnel benefits and administrative expenses totaled $46.0 billion, increasing 5.8% or $2.5 billion compared to 4Q22, and 21.3% or $8.1 billion compared to 1Q22.
11 |
Personnel benefits decreased 1.2% QoQ, and increased 19.1% YoY. The quarterly decrease is partially explained by the decline in severance pay (provisioned in 2022 but that would be settled in 2023). This is offset by the effect of collective agreement on wages with the unions for 2023 (+24.1% as of March 2023), and an additional for 2022 (+0.7%).
As of 1Q23, administrative expenses increased 13.2% QoQ, and 23.4% YoY. The quarterly increase is partially explained by (i) outsourced administrative expenses, (ii) greater rent expenses related to software and licenses contracted with the Parent company, (iii) increase in software services and (iv) greater advertising expenses.
The quarterly efficiency ratio as of 1Q23 was 62.4%, deteriorating compared to the 53% reported in 4Q22, and improving versus the 72.2% reported in 1Q22. The quarterly deterioration is explained by a higher increase in the numerator (expenses) than the denominator (income considering monetary position results), especially due to a significant increase in the negative quarterly results from the net monetary position.
The accumulated efficiency ratio as of 1Q23 was 62.4%, improving compared to the 64.0% reported in 4Q22, and versus the 72.2% reported in 1Q22.

The key factor explaining the quarterly growth is in the turnover tax line item, especially due to an increased revenue from LELIQs. These were offset by a fall in other allowances, by 57.1%, mainly due to a contrast with the previous quarter, where credit card purchase limits were increased, also affected by the update in IFRS 9 impairment loss models in 4Q22.

Income from Associates
This line reflects the results from non-consolidated associate companies. During 1Q23, a loss of $60 million has been reported, mainly due to the Bank’s participation in BBVA Seguros Argentina S.A., Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A., Interbanking S.A. and Play Digital S.A. and Openpay Argentina S.A.

Private sector loans as of 1Q23 totaled $875.3 billion, decreasing 2.0% or $17.6 billion QoQ, and increasing 3.7% or $31.3 billion YoY.
Loans to the private sector in pesos fell 1.6% in 1Q23, and increased 4.1% YoY. During the quarter, the decrease was especially driven by a 24.5% decline in other loans, especially corporate and commercial (“PIV)” loans (due to maturing and non-renewal of loans), followed by a 4.3% fall in credit cards. The latter are explained by contrast with the 4Q22 seasonal factor. The fall was offset by a 40.5% increase in overdrafts.
Loans to the private sector denominated in foreign currency decreased 8.6% QoQ and 2.9% YoY. Quarterly decrease is mainly explained by a 50.2% reduction in other loans, and partially offset by a 7.0% increase in financing and prefinancing of exports. Loans to the private sector in foreign currency measured in U.S. dollars fell 5.7 QoQ and increased 5.4% YoY. The depreciation of the argentine peso versus the U.S. dollar was 15.2% QoQ and 46.9% YoY3.
In 1Q23, total loans and other financing totaled $880.7 billion, falling 2.0% compared to 4Q22 and 3.1% compared to 1Q22.

In real terms, retail loans (mortgage, pledge, consumer and credit cards) have decreased 2.9% QoQ and 6.5% YoY in real terms. During the quarter, decline is mainly explained by a 4.0% decrease in credit cards.
Commercial loans (overdrafts, discounted instruments, receivables from financial leases, loans for the prefinancing and financing of exports, and other loans) remained practically stable, falling 0.8% QoQ and 19.8% YoY, both in real terms. This is justified by quarterly decreases in other loans by 27.3%, and offset by a 40.5% increase in overdrafts, respectively.
As observed in previous quarters, loan portfolios were impacted by the effect of inflation during the first quarter of 2023, which reached 21.7%. In nominal terms, BBVA Argentina managed to increase the retail, commercial and total loan portfolio by 18.2%, 20.7% and 19.3% respectively during the quarter, not reaching quarterly inflation levels.

As of 1Q23, asset quality ratio or NPL (total non-performing portfolio / total portfolio) keeps a very good performance at 1.31%. The increase from 4Q22’s 1.13% is explained by a slight increase in the retail non-performing portfolio. The ratio is stable compared to the same period in 2022, 1.29% in 1Q22.
Coverage ratio (allowances / total non-performing portfolio) decreased from 242.24% to 220.30% in 1Q23 due to a greater increase in the non-performing portfolio compared to the increase in allowances. Such increase is explained by the retail loan portfolio.
Cost of risk (allowances / total non-performing average portfolio) decreased from 4.09% in 4Q22 to 3.73% in 1Q23. Both portfolios, retail and commercial, increased more than allowances.

The quarterly decrease is explained by a reduction in the position of National Treasury bills in U.S. dollars, as well as National Treasury bonds in pesos.
Short-term liquidity is mostly allocated in BCRA instruments, which fell 10.2% QoQ and 4.1% YoY in real terms. Nonetheless, total exposure to the BCRA increased 2.6% in 1Q23, mainly due to a higher REPO position (at quarter-end).
