NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44) 

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Macro SA (hereinafter, the “Bank”) is a business corporation (sociedad anónima), organized in the Argentine Republic that offers traditional banking products and services to companies, including those companies operating in regional economies as well as to individuals, thus strengthening its goal to be a multiservice bank. In addition, through its subsidiaries, the Bank performs transactions as a trustee agent, manager and administrator of mutual funds and renders stock exchange services, electronic payment services and granting of guarantees.

 

Macro Compañía Financiera SA was created in 1977, as a non-banking financial institution. In May 1988, it received the authorization to operate as a commercial bank and was incorporated as Banco Macro SA. Subsequently, as a result of the merger process with other entities, it adopted other names (among them, Banco Macro Bansud SA) and since August 2006, Banco Macro SA.

 

The Bank’s shares are publicly listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA, for its acronym in Spanish) since November 1994 and as from March 24, 2006 they are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Additionally, on October 15, 2015, they were authorized to be listed on the Mercado Abierto Electrónico SA (MAE, for its acronym in Spanish).

 

Since 1994, Banco Macro SA’s market strategy has mainly focused on the regional areas outside the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA, for its acronym in Spanish). Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial banks and other banking institutions.

 

During 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Bank in conjunction with other entities of the argentine financial system made contributions in the company Play Digital SA for a total amount of 977,225 (not restated), reaching an equity interest of 9.1886%. In addition, the Bank, through its subsidiary Banco BMA SAU, indirectly owns an interest of 1.4342%, consequently, the interest at a consolidated level amounts to 10.6228%. The company’s purpose is to develop and market a payment solution linked to bank accounts held by financial system users in order to bring significant improvement to their payment experience.

 

On May 18, 2023, Banco Macro SA acquired 100% of the capital stock of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU) at USD 5,218,800 payable with the proceeds of this company’s dividends. The main purpose of this company is grain brokerage. For further information see also Note 11.

 

Additionally, on November 2, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA, for its acronym in Spanish), authorized the acquisition by Banco Macro SA of 100% of the capital stock of Banco Itaú Argentina SA, Itaú Asset Management SA and Itaú Valores SA. For further information see also Note 11.

 

On August 22, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

3.BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND APPLICABLE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Presentation basis

 

Applicable Accounting Standards

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements of the Bank were prepared in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA, in its Communiqué “A” 6114 as supplemented. Except for the exceptions established by the BCRA, which are explained in the following paragraph, such framework is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish). The abovementioned international standards include the IFRS, the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

 

The transitory exceptions and regulatory guidelines established by BCRA to the application of effective IFRS, that affect the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are as follows:

 

a)According to Communiqué “A” 6114, as amended and supplemented, and in the convergence process through IFRS, the BCRA established that since fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” by BCRA rules, in which the Bank is included, begin to apply section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55), except for the temporary exclusion for the public sector established by Communiqué “A” 6847. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the Bank is in the process of quantifying the effect of the full application of the abovementioned standard.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44) 

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

b)Through Communiqué “A” 7014 dated May 14, 2020, the BCRA established for financial institutions that received debt securities of the public sector in a swap transaction, they must be initially recognized at their carrying amount as of the date of the swap transaction, without assessing if they qualify or not for derecognition under IFRS 9 standards and as a consequence, do not eventually recognize the new instruments at the market value as provided by such IFRS (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements).

 

If IFRS 9 had been applied, and according an estimation calculated by the Bank, the Statement of income of the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, would have recorded a decrease in “Interest income” for an amount of 69,803 and, on the other hand, an increase in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 6,550 and in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 78,086, and as a counterpart an increase in “Other comprehensive income” for that period. In addition, it would have been recorded in the Statement of income of the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 a decrease in “Interest income” for an amount of 7,585,453 and on the other hand, an increase in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 241,928 and in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 7,090,639, and as a counterpart an increase in “Other comprehensive income” for that period. These changes would not have resulted into modifications to the total shareholder equity as of those dates nor the total comprehensive income of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Bank comply with the IFRS as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 7899. Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Basis for presentation and consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA as mentioned in the previous section “Applicable accounting standards” which, particularly for condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, is based on IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

 

For the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, in addition to section “Measuring unit” of this note, the Bank has applied the basis for the preparation and consolidation, the accounting policies and the material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions described in the consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023, already issued.

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements include all the necessary information for an appropriate understanding, by the users thereof, of the basis for the preparation and disclosure used therein as well as the relevant events and transactions occurred after the issuance of the last annual consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023, already issued. Nevertheless, the present condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements do not include all the information or all the disclosures required for the annual consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with the IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements must be read together with the annual consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, already issued.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank has consolidated into its Financial Statements the Financial Statements of the following companies:

Going concern

 

The Bank’s management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.

 

Transcription into books

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44) 

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Figures expressed in thousands of pesos

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements disclose figures expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos in terms of purchasing power as of June 30, 2024, and are rounded up to the nearest amount in thousands of pesos, except as otherwise indicated (see section “Measuring unit” of this note).

 

Comparative information

 

The condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, is presented comparatively with year-end data of the immediately preceding fiscal year, while the statement of income and the statement of other comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the statement of cash flows and cash equivalents for the six-month period ended on that date, are presented comparatively with data as of the same periods of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

 

The figures related to comparative information have been restated to consider the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency and, as a result, are stated in terms of the current measuring unit at the end of the reporting period (see the following section “Measuring unit”).

 

Measuring unit

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements have been restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency (Argentine pesos) as of June 30, 2024, as established by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and considering, in addition, specific rules established by BCRA through Communiqués “A” 6651, 6849, as amended and supplemented, which established the obligation to apply this method, from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and determined as the transition date December 31, 2018.

 

According to IFRS, the restatement of Financial Statements is needed when the functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment of that nature, IAS 29 establishes (i) certain nonexclusive qualitative indicators, consisting in analyzing the general population behavior, prices, interest rates and wages with changes in price indexes and the loss of purchasing power, and (ii) as quantitative characteristic, which is the most used condition in practice, to test if a three-year cumulative inflation rate is around 100% or more. Due to miscellaneous macroeconomic factors, the three-year inflation rate exceeded that figure and the Argentine government goals and other available estimates also indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term.

 

The restatement must be applied as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary, using a general price index that reflects changes in general purchasing power. To apply the restatement, a series of indexes are used, as prepared and published on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish), which combines the consumer price index (CPI) on a monthly basis published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC, for its acronym in Spanish) since January 2017 (baseline month: December 2016) with the wholesale prices index (WPI, for its acronym in Spanish) published by the INDEC until that date. For the months of November and December 2015, for which the INDEC did not publish the WPI variation, the CPI variation for CABA was used.

 

Considering the abovementioned indexes, the inflation rate was 79.77% and 50.68% for the six-month periods ended on June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 211.41% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023.

 

Below is a description of the restatement mechanism provided by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and the restatement process for Financial Statements established by BCRA Communiqué “A” 6849, as supplemented.

 

Description of the main aspects of the restatement process for statements of financial position

 

(i)Monetary items (those with a fixed nominal value in local currency) are not restated because they are already expressed in the measuring unit current as of the end of the reporting period. In an inflationary period, an entity holding monetary assets generates purchasing power loss and holding monetary liabilities generates purchasing power gain, provided that the assets and liabilities are not linked to an adjustment mechanism that offsets to some extent those effects. The net gain or loss on a monetary basis is included in profit or loss for the reporting period.

 

(ii)Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements are adjusted in accordance with such agreements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44) 

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

(iii)Non-monetary items stated at current cost at the end of the reporting period, are not restated for presentation purposes in the statement of financial position, but the adjustment process must be completed to determine, in terms of constant measuring unit, the profit or loss produced by holding these non-monetary items.

 

(iv)Non-monetary items carried at historical cost or at current cost at some earlier date before the reporting date, are restated at indexes that reflects the general level of price variation from the acquisition or revaluation date to the closing date, proceeding then to compare the restated amounts of those assets with their recoverable amounts. Profit or loss for the period related to depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, as well as any other non-monetary assets cost are determined on the basis of the new restated amounts.

 

(v)When an entity capitalizes borrowing cost in the non-monetary assets, the part of the borrowing cost that compensates the creditor for the effects of inflation is not capitalized.

 

(vi)The restatement of non-monetary assets in terms of a measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, without an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes results in a taxable temporary difference and the recognition of deferred income tax liability whose balancing entry is recognized in profit or loss for the period. When, beyond the restatement, there is a revaluation of non-monetary assets, the deferred tax related to the restatement is recognized in profit or loss for the period and deferred tax related to the revaluation (surplus of the revalued value over the restated value) is recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

Description of the main aspects of the restatement process for statements of income and other comprehensive income

 

(i)Expenses and income are restated from the date the items were recorded, except for those profit or loss items that reflect or include, in their determination, the consumption of assets measured at purchasing power currency of a date prior to that which the consumption was recorded, which are restated using as basis the origination date of the assets related to the item; and also except for income or loss arising from comparing two measurements at purchasing power currency of different dates, for which it requires to identify the amounts compared, restate them separately and repeat the comparison, with the amounts already restated.

 

(ii)Gain or loss on monetary position will be classified based on the item that generated it and is presented in a separate line reflecting effect of inflation on monetary items.

 

Description of the main aspects of the restatement process for the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity

 

(i)As the transition date (December 31, 2018), the Bank has applied the following procedures:

 

a)The components of equity, except the ones mentioned below, were restated as from the date on which they were subscribed for or paid-in, according to the Communiqué “A” 6849 for each item.

 

b)Earnings reserved, including the special reserve for the first-time application of IFRS, were stated at their nominal value as of the transition date (legal amount not restated).

 

c)Restated unappropriated retained earnings were determined as a difference between the restated net asset as of the transition date and the rest of the components of initial equity restated as described in the abovementioned paragraphs.

 

d)The accumulated balances of other comprehensive income were recalculated as of the transition date.

 

(ii)After the restatement as of the transition date in (i) above, all equity components are restated by applying the general price index from the beginning of the fiscal year and each variation of those components is restated from the contribution date or from the moment it was produced in any other way, and the accumulated OCI balances are redetermined according to the items that give rise to it.

 

Description of the main aspects of the restatement process for the statement of cash flows

 

(i)All items are restated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the end of the reporting period.

 

(ii)Monetary gain or loss generated by cash and cash equivalents are disclosed in the statement of cash flows after operating, investing and financing activities and financing activities, in a separate and independent line, under the description “Monetary effect on cash and cash equivalents”.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44) 

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements requires the Bank’s Management to consider significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact on the reported assets and liabilities, income and expenses, as well as the determination and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the end of the reporting period. The Bank’s reported amounts are based on the best estimate regarding the probability of occurrence of different future events. Therefore, the uncertainties associated with the estimates and assumptions adopted may drive in the future to final amounts that may differ from those estimates and may require significant adjustments to the reported amounts of the affected assets and liabilities.

 

The Bank applies the same accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions described in Note 3 section “accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions” to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued.

 

Standards amendments adopted in the fiscal year

 

For the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024, the following amendments to IFRS are effective and they did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements as a whole:

 

Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” – Sale and leaseback transactions:

 

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16, specifically on the requirements that a lessee-seller uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the lessee-seller does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use. Applying these requirements will not prevent the seller-lessee from recognizing, in profit or loss, any gain or loss related to the partial or full termination of a lease. The amendment does not prescribe specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial measurement of the lease liability arising from a leaseback may result in a seller-lessee determining ‘lease payments’ that are different from the general definition of lease payments. The seller-lessee will need to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in accordance with IAS 8.

 

This amendment in the IFRS did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

Amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” – Disclosures on supplier finance arrangements:

 

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, which specify disclosure requirements to enhance the current requirements, which are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.

 

These amendments require an entity to provide information about the impact of supplier finance arrangements on liabilities and cash flows, including terms and conditions of those arrangements, quantitative information on liabilities related to those arrangements as at the beginning and end of the reporting period and the type and effect of non-cash changes in the carrying amounts of those arrangements. The information on those arrangements is required to be aggregated unless the individual arrangements have dissimilar or unique terms and conditions. In the context of quantitative liquidity risk disclosures required by IFRS 7, supplier finance arrangements are included as an example of other factors that might be relevant to disclose.

 

These amendments did not have material impacts on the disclosures of the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

New pronouncements

 

Pursuant to Communiqué “A” 6114 of the BCRA, as new IFRS are approved and existing IFRS are amended or revoked and once these changes are approved through the notices of approval issued by the FACPCE, the BCRA shall issue a statement on the approval thereof for financial entities. Generally, financial institutions shall not apply any IFRS in advance, except as specifically authorized at the time of the adoption thereof.

 

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are disclosed below. The Bank intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

 

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 related to “Lack of exchangeability”. The amendment to IAS 21 specifies how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. A currency is considered to be exchangeable into another currency when an entity is able to obtain the other currency within a time frame that allows for a normal administrative delay and through a market or exchange mechanism in which an exchange transaction would create enforceable rights and obligations. If a currency is not exchangeable into another currency, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate at the measurement date. An entity’s objective in estimating the spot exchange rate is to reflect the rate at which an orderly exchange transaction would take place at the measurement date between market participants under prevailing economic conditions. The amendments note that an entity can use an observable exchange rate without adjustment or another estimation technique.

 

When an entity estimates a spot exchange rate because a currency is not exchangeable into another currency, it will disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into another currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity's financial performance, financial position and cash flows. These amendments are effective as of January 1, 2025. The Bank is evaluating the effects that this amendment would cause on the financial statements.

 

IFRS 18 – Presentation and disclosure in Financial Statements

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and disclosure in Financial Statements”, which addresses the format for the presentation of profit or loss in the Financial Statements, management-defined performance measures and aggregation/disaggregation of disclosures information. This standard will replace IAS 1 and is effective as of January 1, 2027. The Bank is evaluating the effects that this standard would cause on the financial statements.

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and measurement of financial instruments

 

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, which:

 

Clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the “settlement date”, that is, when the related obligation is discharged, cancelled, expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. It also introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before settlement date if certain conditions are met.

 

Clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG) features and other similar contingent features.

 

Clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments.

 

Require additional disclosures for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event (including those that are ESG-linked), and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

These amendments are effective as of January 1, 2026. The Bank is evaluating the effects that these amendments would cause on the Financial Statements.

 

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

In order to meet specific financial needs of customers, the Bank’s credit policy also includes, among others, the granting of guarantees, securities, bonds, letters of credit and documentary credits. The Bank is also exposed to overdrafts and unused agreed credits on credit cards of the Bank. Since they imply a contingent obligation for the Bank, they expose the Bank to credit risks other than those recognized in the Statement of financial position and, therefore, they are an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

8.LOSS ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ON CREDIT EXPOSURES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

 

The Bank recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on all credit exposures not measured at fair value through profit or loss, like debt instruments measured at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts (not measured at fair value through profit or loss), contract assets and lease receivables.

 

Note 10 discloses financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and financial assets not recognized at fair value. This classification is made pursuant to the expressed in Note 3 “Basis for the preparation of these Financial Statements and applicable accounting standards” to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued. Additionally, Note 10 explains the information related to the valuation process.

 

Moreover, considering the temporary exclusion established by BCRA mentioned in Note 3 “Applicable accounting standards” the Bank applies the impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for public sector exposures. In addition, the Bank applies the impairment requirements for guarantees granted, undrawn commitments of credit cards, checking account advance agreements, letters of credit, which are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

For the purpose of assessing the Bank’s credit risk exposure and identifying material credit risk concentration, disclosures regarding credit risk of financial assets and off balance items are as follows.

 

8.1Loans and other financing measured at amortized cost

 

According to the nature of the information to be disclosed and the loan characteristics, the Bank groups them as follows:

 

Composition  06/30/2024   12/31/2023 
Loans and other financing   3,553,228,620    3,399,145,881

Collective assessment   2,367,185,662    2,610,341,090 
Less: Allowance for ECL (1)   (80,304,353)   (96,444,054)
Total   3,472,924,267    3,302,701,827 

 

(1)As explained in Note 3, ECL is not calculated to public sector exposures.

 

As explained in Note 45.1.3 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued, “Additional Forward-looking allowances based on expert credit judgment”, section “Adjustment for expectations of increased risk due to the change in economic policy”, the Bank resolved to carry out an adjustment with a prospective vision as a consequence of estimating an incremental effect in the forecasts determined by ECL for the purposes of covering a scenario of uncertainty regarding the impacts that could originate from the change in the economic policy regime, the implementation of a program to adjust imbalances macroeconomics and an inflation stabilization plan. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, said adjustment was estimated at 3,529,297 and 19,735,686, respectively, as explained in the section "Adjustment for expectations of increased risk due to the change in economic policy" of the aforementioned note.

 

The following table shows the credit quality and the carrying amount of credit risk, based on the Bank’s credit risk rating system, the probability of default (PD) and the year-end stage classification, taking into account what was mentioned in the previous paragraph. The amounts are presented gross of the impairment allowances.

8.2Other debt securities at amortized cost

 

The criterion used to calculate ECL of Financial Trusts and Corporate Bonds is based on the rating granted by risk rating agencies to each debt security type making up each financial trust or each corporate bond series, respectively. This means that the factor to be used will vary depending on the debt securities holdings (A or B). The EAD is assumed to be equal to the outstanding balance.

(1)In January 2023, the Bank entered into voluntary debt exchange under the terms of section 11, Presidential Decree No. 331/2022 issued by the Ministry of Economy. The securities involved in such swap transactions were as follows:

 

·Argentine government Treasury bills in pesos adjusted by CER – Maturity: 02-17-2023 (X17F3) for a face value of 20,900,000,000.
·Argentine government discount Treasury bills in pesos – Maturity: 02-28-2023 (S28F3) for a face value of 12,893,000,000.
·Argentine government Treasury bills in pesos adjusted by CER – Maturity: 01-20-2023 for a face value of 290,000,000.

 

As mentioned in Note 5, during March 2023, the following securities entered into the exchange:

 

·Argentine government discount Treasury bills in pesos – Maturity: 06-30-2023 (S3OJ3) for a face value of 26,640,975,851.
·Argentine government Treasury bills in pesos adjusted by CER – Maturity: 06-16-2023 (X16J3) for a face value of 4,516,000,000.
·Argentine government Treasury bills in pesos adjusted by CER – Maturity: 05-19-2023 (X19Y3) for a face value of 1,759,369,713.

 

With almost all the instruments received, the Bank acquired put options with the BCRA. These options give the Bank the opportunity to sell (put option) the underlying asset at a value determined by the applicable BCRA regulations. In this transaction, the options could be exercised up to one day before the maturity of the underlying instrument. Considering the terms and conditions of these put options established by the BCRA, they are considered "out of the money" with fair value amounted to zero. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, their notional value amounted to 129,884,219 and 162,059,391, respectively (see also Note 5).

 

10.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

The fair value is the amount at which an asset can be exchanged, or at which a liability can be settled, in mutual independent terms and conditions between participants of the principal market (or the most advantageous market) who are duly informed and willing to transact in an orderly and current transaction, at the measurement date under the current market conditions whether the price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique under the assumption that the Bank is an ongoing business.

 

When a financial instrument is quoted in a liquid and active market, its price in the market in a real transaction provides the most reliable evidence of its fair value. Nevertheless, when there is no quoted price in the market or it cannot be evidence of the fair value of such instrument, in order to determine such fair value, the entities may use the market value of another instrument with similar characteristics, the analysis of discounted cash flows or other applicable techniques, which shall be significantly affected by the assumptions used.

Although the Bank’s Management has used its best judgment to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments, any technique to perform such estimate implies certain inherent fragility level.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The Bank uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments, according to the valuation technique applied:

 

-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) observable in active markets that the Bank accesses to at the measurement day for identical assets or liabilities. The Bank considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with respect to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available at the end of each period or fiscal year, as applicable.

 

-Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the data and variables having a significant impact on the determination of the fair value recognized or disclosed are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets and observable inputs other than quoted prices, such as interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. In addition, adjustments to level 2 inputs may be required for the condition or location of the asset or the extent to which it relates to items that are comparable to the valued instrument. However, if such adjustments are based on unobservable inputs that are significant to the entire measurement, the Bank will classify the instruments as Level 3.

 

-Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the data and variables having a significant impact on the determination of the fair value recognized or disclosed are not based on observable market information.

 

The following tables show the hierarchy in the Bank’s financial asset and liability at fair value measurement on a recurring basis, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Description of the valuation process

 

The fair value of instruments categorized as level 1 was assessed by using quoted prices effective at the end of each period or fiscal year, as applicable, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, if representative. Currently, for most of the government and private securities, there are two principal markets in which the Bank operates: BYMA and MAE. Additionally, in the case of derivatives, both MAE and Mercado a Término de Rosario SA (ROFEX) are deemed active markets.

 

On the other hand, for certain assets and liabilities that do not have an active market, categorized as level 2, the Bank used valuation techniques that included the use of market transactions performed under mutual independent terms and conditions, between interested and duly informed parties, provided that they are available as well as references to the current fair value of another instrument being substantially similar, or otherwise the analysis of cash flows discounted at rates built from market information of similar instruments.

 

In addition, certain assets and liabilities included in this category were valued using price quotes of identical instruments in “less active markets”.

 

Finally, the Bank has categorized as level 3 those assets and liabilities for which there are no identical or similar transactions in the market. To determine the market value of these instruments the Bank used valuation techniques based on own assumptions and independent appraisers’ valuations. For this approach, the Bank mainly used the cash flow discount model.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank has neither changed the techniques nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

(1)Transfer of equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss from level 3 to level 1 that were measured using quoted prices observable in active markets as of December 31, 2023.

 

The fair values of instruments measured at level 3 are determined by the Bank based on valuation techniques derived from the "income method", whose main unobservable data are related to discount rates, and on which a reasonable change in such input data would not generate significant effects on the Financial Statements taken as a whole.

 

Changes in fair value levels

 

The Bank monitors the availability of information in the market to evaluate the classification of financial instruments into the fair value hierarchy as well as the resulting determination of transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 at each period end.

 

Except for the foregoing, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank has not recognized any transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

 

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

 

Next follows a description of the main methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values of financial instruments not recognized at their fair value in these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements:

 

-Instruments with fair value similar to the carrying amount: financial assets and liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturities (less than three months) were deemed to have a fair value similar to the carrying amount.

 

-Fixed and variable rate of financial instruments: the fair value of financial assets was recognized discounting future cash flows at current market rates for each fiscal year for financial instruments of similar characteristics. The estimated fair value of fixed-interest rate deposits and liabilities was assessed discounting future cash flows by using estimated interest rates for deposits or placings with similar maturities to those of the Bank’s portfolio.

 

-For public listed assets and liabilities, or those for which the prices are reported by certain renowned pricing providers, the fair value was determined based on such prices.

11.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

11.1Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU)

 

On May 18, 2023, the Bank acquired from Inversora Juramento SA, 100% of the capital stock and votes of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU), a company engaged in the grain brokerage business.

 

The Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 6, 2023 deemed it appropriate and approved the change of its corporate name to “Macro Agro SAU” and consequently, subject to the authorization of the Business Associations Regulatory Agency of the Province of Santa Fe (IGPJ), proposed the amendment of section 1 of the by-laws. On October 27, 2023, the proceedings were filed with the IGPJ. Additionally, on March 5, 2024, the Bank was notified of the resolution of the IGPJ, which approved the reform of the by-laws with the name of Macro Agro SAU.

 

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed

 

The fair value of the assets identified and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date is as follows:

 

Composition  Fair value recognized
on acquisition
 
Assets     
Cash and deposits in banks   85,899 
Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss   1,773,396 
Loans and other financing   248,170 
Financial assets delivered as guarantee   3,414,940 
Other financial assets   13,290,850

Other non-financial liabilities   3,660,604 
    17,355,860 
Net assets acquired at fair value   1,947,876 

 

The goodwill generated by the acquisition of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU) amounted to 611,152.

 

In accordance with the share purchase contract, the transaction price was set at USD 5,218,800, which will be paid in variable annual installments using the proceeds from the dividends of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU). Thus, the Bank assigns 100% of the rights over the dividends in favor of the seller, up to the full payment of the purchase price. Each installment will become due within fifteen days as from the Shareholders’ Meeting approval of the Financial Statements of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU). The first installment will become due in 2024.

 

To measure the liabilities arising from this transaction the Bank estimated the company's future income, discounting them at its own business rate. As a consequence, at the acquisition date, the liability amounted to USD 2,973,375.

For the valuation of the core deposits intangible, the favorable source of funds methodology was used. This method determines the spread between the cost of central deposits acquired and the cost of an alternative source of financing over the estimated life of the core deposit base. As a result of this transaction, the intangible asset recognized amounted to 9,320,828. See Note 10 for additional fair value valuation techniques for other assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

 

The price of this transaction was established at USD 50,000,000, which was set at the time of the agreement and paid on November 3, 2023, and an additional amount resulting from the adjustment of the result obtained by Banco BMA SAU (formerly known as Banco Itaú Argentina SA), BMA Asset Management SGFCISA (formerly known Itaú Asset Management SA) and BMA Valores SA (formerly known as Itaú Valores SA) between April 1, 2023 and the closing date established in the purchase contract, which was agreed between the parties in the month of May 2024 for an amount of USD 7,564,706.

 

If the business combination had taken place at the beginning of the year 2023, the interest income and commission income of the Bank would have amounted to 5,082,809,751 and 473,890,390, respectively, and the net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 would have amounted to 1,066,546,585.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

As the amount of the net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the price paid, including the estimated price adjustment based on the information available, the Bank recorded a gain generated by this acquisition for 281,826,263, which is recorded in “Income from associates and joint arrangements” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The gain was related to the price of this transaction determined in the arm’s length basis and the net assets acquired.

20.DISCLOSURES BY OPERATING SEGMENT

 

For management purposes, the Bank’s Management has determined that it has only one operating segment related to the banking business. In this sense, the Bank supervises the operating segment income (loss) for the fiscal year in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, which is measured on a consistent basis with the profit or loss in the Financial Statements.

 

21.INCOME TAX

 

a)Inflation adjustment on income tax

 

Tax Reform Law 27430, amended by Laws 27468 and 27541, established the following, regarding inflation adjustment on income tax for the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018:

 

i)such adjustment will be applicable in the fiscal year in which the variation of the CPI is higher than 100% for the thirty-six months before the end of the tax period;

 

ii)regarding the first, second and third fiscal year after its effective date, this procedure will be applicable if the variation of the abovementioned index, calculated from the beginning until the end of each of those fiscal years exceeds 55%, 30% and 15% for the first, second and third fiscal years of application, respectively;

 

iii)the positive or negative inflation adjustment, as the case may be, corresponding to the first, second and third fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018, shall be allocated one third in the fiscal year for which the adjustment is calculated and the remaining two thirds in equal parts in the following two immediate fiscal years;

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

iv)the positive or negative inflation adjustment, corresponding to the first and second fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2019, shall be allocated one sixth to the fiscal year in which the adjustment is determined and the remaining five sixth in the following immediate fiscal years; and

 

v)for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2021, 100% of the adjustment may be deducted in the year in which it is determined.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all the conditions established by the income tax Law to practice the inflation adjustment are met (see section “Fiscal years 2019 and 2020” and “Fiscal year 2021” of this note).

 

b)Income tax rate

 

On June 16, 2021, through Decree No. 387/2021, Law No. 27630 was issued. This law established for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, a progressive tax rates scheme of 25%, 30% and 35% which will be applied, on a progressive basis, to the taxable accumulated net profit at the end of each fiscal year.

 

c)The main items of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are as follows:

Fiscal years 2019 and 2020

 

As decided by the Board of Directors in the meeting held on May 11, 2020, considering certain case law on the matter assessed by its legal counsel and tax advisors, on May 26 of that year, the Bank filed with the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (AFIP, for its acronym in Spanish) its annual income tax return considering the total effect of the inflation adjustment on income tax (see section a) iv) of this note). As a result, the current income tax determined by Banco Macro SA for fiscal year 2019 amounted to 7,002,124 (not restated). The same criterion was applied to determine the annual income tax report for 2020, which generated accrued income tax for Banco Macro SA for such fiscal year that amounted to 9,933,210 (not restated).

 

In addition, on July 23, 2021, the Bank filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 254,305 (not restated) paid as income tax for the 2020 tax period be reimbursed.

 

As to the tax periods mentioned in previous paragraphs, on November 1, 2021, the AFIP notified the beginning of an income tax audit, which is in progress.

 

Along with the filings mentioned in the first paragraph of this section, on December 28, 2021, the Bank filed petitions for declaratory judgment with the Federal Administrative Contentious Court for the periods under analysis. The file 22274/2021, for the fiscal year 2019, is in process in Court No. 12 and the file 22278/2021, for the fiscal year 2020, is in process in Court No. 1.

 

Fiscal year 2021

 

On October 17, 2022, Banco Macro SA filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 382,189 (not restated) paid as income tax for the 2021 tax period be reimbursed.

 

On January 3, 2023, the AFIP notified the beginning of an income tax audit related to the abovementioned fiscal year. On April 8, 2024 the AFIP notified the closure of the audit, without tax adjustment as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

Fiscal year 2022

 

On June 30, 2023, Banco Macro SA filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 654,673 (not restated) paid as income tax for the 2022 tax period be reimbursed.

 

On 16 November, 2023, the AFIP notified the beginning of an income tax audit related to the abovementioned fiscal year, which is in progress as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

Reimbursement actions – Fiscal years 2013 to 2017 and 2018

 

On October 24, 2019, Banco Macro SA filed with the AFIP-DGI (Argentine tax authorities) two reimbursement actions under the terms established by the first paragraph of section 81, Law No. 11683 requesting the reimbursement of 4,782,766 and 5,015,451 (not restated amounts) paid to tax authorities as income tax during tax periods 2013 through 2017 and 2018, respectively, arising from the impossibility to apply the adjustment for inflation and other adjustment mechanisms set forth by income tax Law (prior to the amendments introduced by Laws No. 27430 and 27468 for periods 2013 through 2017, and as revised in 2019 and amended for the 2018 tax period), plus the related compensatory interest (SIGEA [case and file management system] files No. 19144-14224/2019 and 19144-14222/2019). Since tax authorities have not yet issued a resolution with respect to the abovementioned claims, on August 7, 2020, the Bank filed both reimbursement requests under the terms of section 81, Law No. 11683 with the Federal Contentious and Administrative Trial Courts, which are pending in Courts No. 8 and 2 of such jurisdiction, respectively (cases No. 11285/2020 and 11296/2020). Currently, in connection with the file for the fiscal year 2018, the evidence stage is closed and the process for allegation was delivered.

 

In connection with the tax periods mentioned in the previous paragraph, on December 19, 2019, the AFIP notified the beginning of the income tax audit for the 2018 tax period, and on May 3, 2021, it notified the beginning of the income tax audit for periods 2013 through 2017. On October 4, 2021, the AFIP ended the audit for periods 2013 through 2017 as the Bank had exercised in due time its right to resort to justice, and that the admission of reimbursement is subject to a court decision.

28.ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES IN THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

 

The Statement of Cash Flows presents the changes in cash and cash equivalents derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities during the period. For the preparation of the statement of cash flows the Bank adopted the indirect method for Operating Activities and the direct method for Investment Activities and Financing Activities.

 

The Bank considers as “Cash and cash equivalents” the item Cash and deposits in banks and those financial assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

For the preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows the Bank considered the following:

 

-Operating activities: the normal revenue-producing activities of the Bank as well as other activities that cannot qualify as investing or financing activities.

 

-Investing activities: the acquisition, sale and disposal by other means of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

 

-Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the shareholders’ equity and liabilities of the Bank and that are not part of the operating or investing activities.

 

The table below presents the reconciliation between the item “Cash and cash equivalents” in the Statement of Cash Flows and the relevant accounting items of the Statement of financial position:

 

Description  06/30/2024   12/31/2023   06/30/2023   12/31/2022

Note 29 provides a breakdown of the changes in the Bank's capital stock.

33.TRUST ACTIVITIES

 

The Bank is related to several types of trusts. The different trust agreements according to the business purpose sought by the Bank are disclosed below:

 

33.1Financial trusts for investment purposes

 

The portfolio of financial trusts for investment purposes is completed with definitive trust securities of financial trusts in public and private offering (Confibono, Secubono, Supercanal, Payway cobro anticipado, Solidario de Infraestructura Nasa IV, Moni Mobile and Red Surcos) and certificates of participation (Arfintech).

33.2Trusts created using financial assets transferred by the Bank (securitization)

 

The Bank transferred financial assets (loans) to trusts for the purpose of issuing and selling securities whose collection is guaranteed by the cash flow resulting from such assets or group of assets. Through this way the funds that were originally used by the Bank to finance the loans are obtained earlier.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia SAU (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 5,220 and 4,739, respectively.

 

33.3Trusts 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 non-compliance.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Trusts usually act as conduits to collect cash from the debtor’s flow of operations and send such cash 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 non-compliance or delays by the debtor in the obligations assumed with the beneficiary, the trustee shall not execute the guarantee and all excess amounts as to the value of the obligations are reimbursed by the trustee to the debtor.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the assets managed by Banco Macro SA and Macro Fiducia SAU, amounted to 5,818,528 and 1,441,740, respectively.

The Bank, through its subsidiaries, 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,

 

-being a party to public work concession agreements granting road exploitation, management, keeping and maintenance.

36.PENALTIES APPLIED TO THE BANK AND SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS INITIATED BY THE BCRA

 

BCRA Communiqué “A” 5689, as supplemented and amended, requires financial institutions to disclose in their Financial Statements certain information regarding summaries and penalties received from certain regulatory authorities, regardless of the amounts involved and the final conclusions of each case.

 

36.1The situation of Banco Macro SA as of June 30, 2024:

 

Summary proceedings filed by the BCRA

 

Financial summary proceedings: No. 1496 dated 02/24/2016.

 

Reason: control observations over subsidiaries. Penalty amount: 30,608 (not restated).

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA and 11 members of the Board of Directors.

 

Status: on 04/07/2016, the Bank filed the defenses and evidence on the BCRA. On 05/18/2016 the Bank requested, on behalf of the person who was acting as Vice Chairman of the Bank when this summary proceeding was initiated, the resolution of the motion for lack of standing to be sued. On 09/09/2020, the BCRA filed Resolution No. 132/20 (notified on 02/22/2021) which acquitted Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo and imposed a fine to the Bank and other responsible directors.

On 03/15/2021 the Bank filed a direct appeal against such resolution to the BCRA, which will be decided at Courtroom I of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court of Appeals (CNACAF, for its acronym in Spanish). The fine imposed on the person who was acting as Chairman of the Bank when this summary proceeding was initiated, was abrogated due to his passing. On 02/09/2023 the CNACAF issued a sentence, dismissing the direct appeals, with cost. For this reason, the Bank filed an Extraordinary Federal Appeal, which was granted for the federal law interpretation but rejected on the grounds of alleged arbitrariness. On 04/20/2023, the corresponding petition for denied appeal was filed against the rejection for the alleged arbitrariness, which is under study with the Federal Supreme Court of Justice (CSJN, for its acronym in Spanish). As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the case is pending resolution.

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 44)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA and 23 members of the Management Body during the period that is the subject matter of these summary proceedings.

 

Status: on 04/23/2019, UIF passed Resolution No. 41, whereby it resolved the lack of responsibility of three of the Directors, and also imposed fines to the rest liable. On 05/15/2019 the imposed fines were paid and on 06/12/2019, the Bank, its Board of Directors and its statutory auditors filed a direct appeal against such resolution, requesting a repeal of the penalty imposed. The file was submitted to Courtroom V of CNACAF. On 05/11/2021, such Courtroom issued a sentence dismissing the direct appeal filed by Banco Macro SA and against that, on 05/26/2021, this Bank filed an Extraordinary Federal Appeal. On 12/09/2021 the CNACAF decided to allow the imposed Extraordinary Appeal, submitting the file to the CSJN on 02/03/2022. On 04/23/2024, the CSJN declared the appeal inadmissible, so the Bank does no longer has the elements to attempt to reduce the fines imposed by the UIF, and the aforementioned penalty is confirmed.

 

File: No. 379/2015 (UIF Resolution No. 96/2019) dated 09/17/2019.

 

Reason: alleged noncompliance with Anti-Money Laundering Law, as amended, and UIF Resolution No. 121/11.

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA and 11 members of the Board of Directors.

 

Status: On 10/02/2019, Banco Macro SA and the liable individuals were notified about the initiation of the proceedings. On 10/31/2019, the Bank and the individuals subject to summary proceedings filed their defense. On 01/07/2020, the party hearing the summary proceedings considered the defense filed and deferred the motion to dismiss for lack of capacity to be sued and statute of limitations upon issuing an opinion about the substance of the case. The administrative terms were suspended due to the social, preventive and mandatory lockdown declared in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic (DNU 297/2020), up to and including 11/29/2020. On 11/30/2020, terms were resumed (DNU 876/2020). On 03/02/2021, the passing of one of the Directors was informed and the lapse of the action against him was requested. In addition, as part of the BCRA summary proceedings styled “File No. 100889/15 – Banco Macro SA, Financial Summary Proceeding No. 1496”, Resolution No. 2020-132-E-GDEBCRA-SEFYC#BCRA was issued, whereby penalties were imposed on Banco Macro SA and the parties subject to those proceedings, currently pending before the CNACAF, Courtroom I (File No. 3784/2021). The transactions for which the parties are investigated have already been subject to penalties in the abovementioned BCRA summary proceeding; therefore, there cannot be simultaneous penalties based on the same subject matter. As a result, a request was made to prevent the application of all types of penalties to the parties subject to this summary proceeding. On 08/18/2021, it was resolved to set the case for the production of evidence. On 05/05/2022 the probationary period was closed and the actions were put to pledge, and on 07/13/2022 it moved to the stage of preparation of the final report. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the case is pending resolution.

 

Although the penalties described above do not involve material amounts, as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the total amount of monetary penalties received, pending payment due to any appeal lodged by the Bank, amounts to 500 and was recognized according to the BCRA Communiqués “A” 5689 and 5940, as amended and supplemented.

 

The Bank’s Management and its legal counsel consider no further significant accounting effects could arise from the final outcome of the abovementioned judicial proceedings.

39.TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

39.1Tax claims

 

The AFIP and tax authorities of the relevant jurisdictions have reviewed the tax returns filed by the Bank related to income tax, minimum presumed income tax and other taxes (mainly turnover tax). As a result, there are claims pending at court and/or administrative levels, either subject to discussion or appeal. The most significant claims are summarized below:

 

a)AFIP’s challenges against the income tax returns filed by former Banco Bansud SA (for the fiscal years from June 30, 1995, through June 30, 1999, and for the irregular six-month period ended December 31, 1999) and by former Banco Macro SA (for the fiscal years ended from 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)The AFIP’s ex-officio undocumented expenses determinations for the periods February, April, May 2015 and from July 2015 through January 2018, both included of date April 19, 2021, On October 5, 2021, the Bank filed an appeal to the Federal Tax Court which is in process in Courtroom B, Office 6, under file 2021-96970075.

 

c)Ex-officio turnover tax determinations in progress and/or adjustments, as a withholding agent and over municipal fees, pending resolution by the tax authorities of certain jurisdictions.

 

The Bank’s Management and its legal counsel consider no further significant accounting effects could arise from the final outcome of the abovementioned proceedings other than those disclosed in these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

39.2Other claims

 

Before merging with and into the Bank, Banco Privado de Inversiones SA (BPI) had a pending class action styled “Adecua v, Banco Privado de Inversiones on ordinary proceedings”, File No. 19073/2007, pending with National Commercial Court No. 3, Clerk’s Office No. 5, whereby it was required to reimburse to its clients the life insurance amounts overcharged to amounts payable as well as to reduce the amounts charged in this regard in the future; this legal proceeding was concluded upon the abovementioned merger because BPI complied in full with the terms of the court-approved agreement reached with Adecua before answering the complaint. However, in March 2013, when BPI had already been merged with and into the Bank, the trial court resolved to amend the terms of the agreement and ordered the reimbursement of amounts of money to a larger number of clients as compared to the number arising from the terms approved by the court in due time. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank as BPI’s surviving company. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeals, which abrogated both the trial court decision and the court-approved agreement, thus ordering the Bank to answer the complaint. This gave rise to the filing of an extraordinary appeal against such decision as well as the subsequent filing of a complaint for the extraordinary appeal denied. On May 5, 2021, the Bank was notified of the dismissal of the complaint appeal, ordering the return of the main process to the National Court of Appeals for continuing with the proceedings, who also submitted them to the trial court, which received them on 09/27/2021 and were requested as effectum vivendi in proceedings “Estado Nacional – Ministerio Producción de la Nación c/ Asociación de Defensa de los Consumidores y Usuarios de la R.A y otros s/Ordinario” (File No. 6757/2013), in which the Bank is not a party, by the national commercial court No. 6, clerk’s office No. 11, where, as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, they are still filed.

 

Moreover, the Bank is subject to another collective action for the same purpose, currently pending with National Commercial Court No. 7, Clerk’s Office No. 13, styled Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores v, Nuevo Banco Bisel on ordinary proceedings, File No. 44704/2008.

 

There are also other class actions initiated by consumer protection associations in relation to the collection of certain commissions and/or financial charges or practices and certain withholdings made by the Bank to individuals as CABA stamp tax withholding agent.

The Bank’s Management and its legal counsel consider no further significant accounting effects could arise from the final outcome of the abovementioned proceedings other than those disclosed in these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

40.RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS DISTRIBUTION

 

a)According to BCRA regulations, 20% of Banco Macro SA income for the year, without including Other comprehensive income, for the year plus/less prior-year adjustments and less accumulated losses as for the prior year-end, if any, should be allocated to the legal retained earnings.

 

b)Through Communiqué “A” 6464, as amended, the BCRA establishes the general procedure to distribute earnings. According to that procedure, earnings may only be distributed if certain circumstances are met, such as no records of financial assistance from the BCRA due to illiquidity or shortages in payments of minimum capital or minimum cash requirement deficiencies and not being subject to the provisions of sections 34 and 35 bis of the Financial Entities Law (sections dealing with tax payment and restructuring agreements and reorganization of the Bank), among other conditions listed in the abovementioned communiqué that must be met. In addition, the earnings distribution approved by the shareholders’ meeting of the Bank could only be formalized once the Superintendence of Financial and Foreign Exchange Entities of the BCRA approved it.

 

Additionally, profits may only be distributed to the extent that the financial institution has positive results, after deducting, on a non-accounting basis, from retained earnings and the optional reserves for the future distribution of profits, (i) the amounts of the legal and other earnings reserves which are mandatory, (ii) all debit amounts of each one of the accounting items recognized in “Other Comprehensive Income”, (iii) income from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property, (iv) the positive net difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of government debt instruments and/or monetary regulation instruments issued by the BCRA for those instruments recognized at amortized cost, (v) the adjustments identified by the Superintendence of Financial and Exchange Entities of the BCRA or by the independent external auditor and that have not been recognized in the accounting records and (vi) certain franchises granted by the BCRA. Moreover, no profit distributions shall be made out of the profit originated as a result of the first-time application of the IFRS, for which a normative reserve was created, and its balance as of June 30, 2024 was 119,814,567 (nominal value: 3,475,669).

 

The Bank must verify that, after completion of the earning distribution, a capital maintenance margin equal to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets is kept, apart from the minimum capital required by law, to be integrated by Tier 1 (COn1) ordinary capital, net of deductible items (CDCOn1).

 

According to Communiqué “A” 7984, the BCRA established that up to December 31, 2024, financial institutions which have the prior BCRA’s authorization will be allowed to distribute earnings up to 60% of the amount that would have corresponded in six equal, monthly and consecutive installments. Moreover, the BCRA established that the calculation of the items to determine the distributable earnings, as well as the amount of the installments, must be stated in constant currency as of the date of the meeting and the date of payment of each installment, as applicable. Subsequently, through Communiqué “A” 7997, the BCRA established that financial institutions that resolve or have resolved to distribute earnings within the framework of what is expected by the Communiqué "A” 7984, will be allowed to distribute earnings in three equal, monthly and consecutive installments up to the related amount in accordance with the abovementioned Communiqué. Such Communiqué also established that financial institutions must grant the option to each non-resident shareholder to receive their dividends –totally or partially– in a single cash installment as long as those funds are applied directly to the primary subscription of Bonds for the reconstruction of a free Argentina (BOPREAL, for its acronym in Spanish) in accordance with current exchange regulations.

 

c)Pursuant to CNV General Resolution No. 622, the shareholders’ meeting in charge of analyzing the annual Financial Statements will be required to decide on the application of the Bank’s retained earnings, such as the actual distribution of dividends, the capitalization thereof through the delivery of bonus shares, the creation of earnings reserves additional to the legal earnings retained or a combination of any of these applications.

 

Moreover, as it is mentioned in Note 30, the Regular Shareholders’ Meeting of Banco Macro SA held on April 12, 2024 decided to applied the unappropriated retained earnings for an amount of 587,913,905 (not restated) as follows (the abovementioned figures are stated in constant currency as of December 31, 2023):

 

a)117,460,821 to the Legal Reserve;

 

b)1,737,776 to the Personal Asset Tax on Business Companies; and

 

c)468,715,308 to the Facultative Reserve for Future Distribution of Earnings.

In addition, the shareholders decided to partially apply the Facultative Reserve for Future Distribution of Earnings, in order to allocate up to the amount of 294,130,168 (the abovementioned figures are stated in constant currency as of December 31, 2023) to the payment of a cash dividend and/or dividend in kind subject to prior authorization from the BCRA. On May 6, 2024, the BCRA authorized this earnings distribution. See also Note 30.

 

41.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY POLICY AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

As a financial institution, Banco Macro SA is governed by Financial Entities Law No. 21526, as supplemented, and the regulations issued by the BCRA, and is exposed to intrinsic risks related to the financial industry. Moreover, the Bank adheres to the good banking practices laid out in BCRA Communiqué “A” 7465 - Financial Entities Corporate Governance Guidelines. Detailed explanations about the main aspects related to capital management, corporate governance transparency policy and risk management related to the Bank, are disclosed in Note 45 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued.

 

Additionally, the table below shows the minimum capital requirements measured on a consolidated basis, effective for the month of June 2024, together with the integration thereof (computable equity) as of the end of such month:

42.CHANGES IN THE ARGENTINE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AND FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL MARKETS

 

In the last years, the argentine financial market has observed a prolonged period of volatility in the market prices of public and private financial instruments, including a high level of country risk, an increase in the official exchange rate between the argentine peso and the US dollar, an increase in interest rates and a significant acceleration of the inflation rate (see Note 3. section "unit of measurement").

 

Particularly, related to the price of the US dollar, since the end of 2019 the gap between the official price of the US dollar -used mainly for foreign trade- and alternative market values began to widen significantly, having reached maximum peaks close to 200%. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the aforementioned gap amounts to approximately 32%.

 

Regarding the administration of the national public debt, a restructuring process has been observed, including various voluntary exchanges and agreements reached regarding debts with the Paris Club and the International Monetary Fund. Likewise, the authorities in charge of the Federal Ministry of Economy and the BCRA, established in the last months restrictive monetary policy measures, together with a process of debt transfer from the BCRA to the National Treasury, which included the repurchase by the BCRA of a significant portion of the puts on government securities held by financial institutions.

 

In this context, on December 10, 2023, the new authorities of the argentine national government took office and issued a series of emergency measures. Among the main objectives pursued, among other relevant issues, are a regulatory flexibility in economic matters, reduction of the fiscal deficit mainly through a reduction in spending, including reduction of different types of subsidies. Likewise, there was a devaluation of the argentine peso close to 55% against to the US dollar (increasing the US dollar price from 366.50 pesos to 799.95 pesos on December 13, 2023), which has generated an acceleration of the inflation rate, with interannual inflation measured from the national CPI published by INDEC being 272% at the date of issue of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

The comprehensive program pursued by the new national government includes reforms in the economy, justice, foreign relations, infrastructure and others. On December 20, 2023, through Decree of Necessity and Urgency No. 70/2023, a significant number of reforms were established, regarding which different actors presented various protections or unconstitutionality requests to Justice to stop their application. On the other hand, on July 8, 2024, Law No. 27742 was published in the Official Gazette and promulgated by the Executive Branch through Decree No. 592/2024 and include among its points delegation of powers to the Executive Branch, tax, labor and social security reforms, among others. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the aforementioned law is in process of being regulated.

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Macro SA (hereinafter, the “Bank”) is a business corporation (sociedad anónima) organized in the Argentine Republic that offers traditional banking products and services to companies, including those companies operating in regional economies as well as to individuals, thus strengthening its goal to be a multiservice bank. In addition, the Bank performs certain transactions through its subsidiaries Macro Bank Limited (a company organized under the laws of Bahamas), Macro Securities SAU, Macro Fiducia SAU, Macro Fondos SGFCISA, Argenpay SAU and Fintech SGR.

 

Macro Compañía Financiera SA was created in 1977 as a non-banking financial institution. In May 1988, it received the authorization to operate as a commercial bank and was incorporated as Banco Macro SA. Subsequently, as a result of the merger process with other entities, it adopted other names (among them, Banco Macro Bansud SA) and since August 2006, Banco Macro SA.

 

The Bank’s shares are publicly listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA, for its acronym in Spanish) since November 1994 and as from March 24, 2006, they are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Additionally, on October 15, 2015 they were authorized to be listed on the Mercado Abierto Electrónico SA (MAE, for its acronym in Spanish).

 

Since 1994, Banco Macro SA’s market strategy has mainly focused on the regional areas outside the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA, for its acronym in Spanish). Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial banks and other banking institutions.

 

In 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2010, the Bank acquired the control of Banco Bansud SA, Nuevo Banco Suquía SA, Nuevo Banco Bisel SA and Banco Privado de Inversiones SA, respectively. Such entities merged with and into Banco Macro SA in December 2003, October 2007, August 2009 and December 2013, respectively. During the fiscal year 2006, the Bank acquired control over Banco del Tucumán SA, which was merged with Banco Macro SA in October 2019. Additionally, on October 1, 2021, the Bank acquired the control of Fintech SGR that, as explained in Note 3 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued, is a structured entity in which the Bank has control.

 

During 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 the Bank in conjunction with other entities of the argentine financial system made contributions in the company Play Digital SA for a total amount of 977,225 (not restated), reaching an equity interest of 9.1886%. See also Note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

On May 18, 2023, Banco Macro SA acquired 100% of the capital stock of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU) at USD 5,218,800 payable with the proceeds of this company’s dividends. The main purpose of this company is grain brokerage. See also Note 9.

 

Additionally, on November 2, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA, for its acronym in Spanish), authorized the acquisition by Banco Macro SA of 100% of the capital stock of Banco Itaú Argentina SA, Itaú Asset Management SA and Itaú Valores SA. For further information see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

On August 22, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements.

3.BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND APPLICABLE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Applicable Accounting Standards

 

These condensed separate interim Financial Statements of the Bank were prepared in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA, in its Communiqué “A” 6114 as supplemented. Except for the regulatory provisions established by the BCRA, which are explained in the following paragraph, such framework is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish). The abovementioned international standards include the IFRS, the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

 

The transitory exceptions and regulatory guidelines established by BCRA to the application of effective IFRS, that affect the preparation of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements are as follows:

 

a)According to Communiqué “A” 6114, as amended and supplemented, and in the convergence process through IFRS, the BCRA established that since fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” by BCRA rules, in which the Bank is included, begin to apply section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55), except for the temporary exclusion for the public sector established by the Communiqué “A” 6847. As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements, the Bank is in the process of quantifying the effect of the full application of the abovementioned standard.

 

b)Through Communiqué “A 7014 dated May 14, 2020, the BCRA established for financial institutions that received debt securities of the public sector in a swap transaction, they must be initially recognized at their carrying amount as of the date of the swap transaction, without assessing if they qualify or not for derecognition under IFRS 9 standards and as a consequence, do not eventually recognize the new instruments at the market value as provided by such IFRS (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements).

 

If IFRS 9 had been applied, and according an estimation calculated by the Bank, the Statement of income of the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, would have recorded a decrease in “Interest income” for an amount of 69,803 and, on the other hand, an increase in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 6,550 and in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 78,086, and as a counterpart an increase in “Other comprehensive income” for that period. In addition, it would have been recorded in the Statement of income of the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 a decrease in “Interest income” for an amount of 7,585,453 and on the other hand, an increase in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 241,928 and in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 7,090,639, and as a counterpart an increase in “Other comprehensive income” for that period. These changes would not have resulted into modifications to the total shareholder equity as of those dates nor the total comprehensive income of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Applicable Accounting Policies

 

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Bank comply with the IFRS as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 7899. Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Note 3 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued presents further detailed descriptions of the basis for the presentation of such Financial Statements and the main accounting policies used and the relevant information of the subsidiaries. All that is explained therein shall apply to these condensed separate interim Financial Statements, except for the goodwill generated by the business combination, as mentioned in Note 9, which according to BCRA Communiqué “A” 6618, in the condensed separate interim Financial Statements, is included in the net investment of the subsidiary.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 41)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Going concern

 

The Bank’s Management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, these condensed separate interim Financial Statements were prepared on the going concern basis.

 

Subsidiaries

 

As mentioned in Note 1, the Bank performs certain transactions through its subsidiaries.

 

Subsidiaries are all the entities controlled by the Bank. An entity controls another entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its continuing involvement with such other entity and has the ability to use its power to direct the operating and financing policies of such other entity, to affect the amounts of such returns.

 

As provided under IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, investments in subsidiaries were accounted for using the “equity method”, established in IAS 28 “Investments in associates and joint ventures”. When using this method, investments are initially recognized at cost, and such amount increases or decreases to recognize investor’s interest in profit and loss of the entity after the date of acquisition or creation.

 

Shares in profit and loss of subsidiaries and associates are recognized under “(Loss) / income from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures” in the condensed separate interim statement of income. Ownership interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries is accounted for under “(Loss) / income of the period from interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the participation method”, in the condensed separate interim statement of other comprehensive income.

 

Transcription into books

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements, they are in the process of being transcribed into the Financial Statements book (“Libro Balance”) of Banco Macro SA.

 

Standards amendments adopted in the fiscal year

 

Standards amendments adopted are described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

New pronouncements

 

New pronouncements are described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

In order to meet specific financial needs of customers, the Bank’s credit policy also includes, among others, the granting of guarantees, securities, bonds, letters of credit and documentary credits. The Bank is also exposed to overdrafts and unused agreed credits on credit cards of the Bank. Since they imply a contingent obligation for the Bank, they expose the Bank to credit risks other than those recognized in the Statement of financial position and, therefore, they are an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

7.LOSS ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ON CREDIT EXPOSURES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

 

The Bank recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on all credit exposures not measured at fair value through profit or loss, like debt instruments measured at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts (not measured at fair value through profit or loss), contract assets and lease receivables.

 

Note 8 discloses financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and financial assets not recognized at fair value. This classification is made pursuant to the expressed in Note 3 “Basis for the preparation of these Financial Statements and applicable accounting standards”. Additionally, Note 8 explains the information related to the valuation process.

 

Moreover, considering the temporary exclusion established by BCRA mentioned in Note 3 “Applicable accounting standards” the Bank applies the impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for public sector exposures. In addition, the Bank applies the impairment requirements for guarantees granted, undrawn commitments of credit cards, checking account advance agreements, letter of credits, which are not recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position.

 

For the purpose of assessing the Bank’s credit risk exposure and identifying material credit risk concentration, disclosures regarding credit risk of financial assets and off balance items are as follows.

 

7.1Loans and other financing measured at amortized cost

 

According to the nature of the information to be disclosed and the loan characteristics, the Bank groups them as follows:

 

Composition  06/30/2024   12/31/2023 
Loans and other financing   3,182,044,206    2,814,502,695 
Individual assessment   941,096,586    702,296,065 
Collective assessment   2,240,947,620    2,112,206,630 
Less: Allowance for ECL (1)   (64,470,291)   (64,805,673)
Total   3,117,573,915    2,749,697,022 

 

(1)As explained in Note 3, ECL is not calculated to public sector exposures.

 

As explained in Note 45.1.3 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, already issued, “Additional Forward-looking allowances based on expert credit judgment”, section “Adjustment for expectations of increased risk due to the change in economic policy”, the Bank resolved to carry out an adjustment with a prospective vision as a consequence of estimating an incremental effect in the forecasts determined by ECL for the purposes of covering a scenario of uncertainty regarding the impacts that could originate from the change in the economic policy regime, the implementation of a program to adjust imbalances macroeconomics and an inflation stabilization plan. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, said adjustment was estimated at 3,529,297 and 19,735,686, respectively, as explained in the section "Adjustment for expectations of increased risk due to the change in economic policy" of the aforementioned note.

 

The following table shows the credit quality and the carrying amount of credit risk, based on the Bank’s credit risk rating system, the probability of default (PD) and the year-end stage classification, taking into account what was mentioned in the previous paragraph.

7.2Other debt securities at amortized cost

 

The criterion used to calculate ECL of Financial Trusts and Corporate Bonds is based on the rating granted by risk rating agencies to each debt security type making up the financial trusts or each corporate bond series, respectively. This means that the factor to be used will vary depending on the debt securities holdings (A or B). The EAD is assumed to be equal to the outstanding balance.

8.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

Note 10 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements describes the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value, both of the financial instruments recognized at fair value as of those not accounted for at such fair value in these condensed separate interim Financial Statements.

 

In addition, the Bank discloses the relevant information as to instruments included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Even though the Bank’s Management has used its best judgment to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments, any technique to perform such estimate implies certain inherent fragility level.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The Bank uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments, according to the valuation technique applied:

 

-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) observable in active markets that the Bank accesses to at the measurement day for identical assets or liabilities. The Bank considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with respect to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available at each period or fiscal year, as applicable.

 

-Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the data and variables having a significant impact on the determination of the fair value recognized or disclosed are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets and observable inputs other than quoted prices, such as interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. In addition, adjustments to level 2 inputs may be required for the condition or location of the asset or the extent to which it relates to items that are comparable to the valued instrument. However, if such adjustments are based on unobservable inputs that are significant to the entire measurement, the Bank will classify the instruments as Level 3.

 

-Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the data and variables having a significant impact on the determination of the fair value recognized or disclosed are not based on observable market information.

 

The following tables show the hierarchy in the Bank’s financial asset and liability at fair value measurement, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Fiscal years 2019 and 2020

 

As decided by the Board of Directors in the meeting held on May 11, 2020, considering certain case law on the matter assessed by its legal counsel and tax advisors, on May 26 the Bank filed with the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (AFIP, for its acronym in Spanish) its annual income tax return considering the total effect of the inflation adjustment on income tax (see section a) iv) of Note 21 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements). As a result, the current income tax determined by the Bank for fiscal year 2019 amounted to 7,002,124 (not restated). The same criterion was applied to determine the annual income tax report for 2020, which generated accrued income tax for the Bank for such fiscal year that amounted to 9,933,210 (not restated).

 

In addition, on July 23, 2021, the Bank filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 254,305 (not restated) paid as income tax for the 2020 tax period be reimbursed.

 

As to the tax periods mentioned in previous paragraphs, on November 1, 2021, the AFIP notified the beginning of an income tax audit, which is in progress.

 

Along with the filings mentioned in the first paragraph of this section, on December 28, 2021, the Bank filed petitions for declaratory judgment with the Federal Administrative Contentious Court for the periods under analysis. The file 22274/2021, for the fiscal year 2019, is in process in Court No. 12 and the file 22278/2021, for the fiscal year 2020, is in process in Court No. 1.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

On January 3, 2023, the AFIP notified the beginning of an income tax audit related to the abovementioned fiscal year, which is in progress.

 

Fiscal year 2022

 

On June 30, 2023, Banco Macro SA filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 654,673 paid as income tax for the 2022 tax period be reimbursed.

 

Reimbursement actions – Fiscal years 2013 to 2017 and 2018

 

On October 24, 2019, Banco Macro SA filed with the AFIP-DGI (Argentine tax authorities) two reimbursement actions under the terms established by the first paragraph of section 81, Law No. 11683 requesting the reimbursement of 4,782,766 and 5,015,451 (not restated amounts) paid to tax authorities as income tax during tax periods 2013 through 2017 and 2018, respectively, arising from the impossibility to apply the adjustment for inflation and other adjustment mechanisms set forth by income tax Law (prior to the amendments introduced by Laws No. 27430 and 27468 for periods 2013 through 2017, and as revised in 2019 and amended for the 2018 tax period), plus the related compensatory interest (SIGEA [case and file management system] files No. 19144-14224/2019 and 19144-14222/2019). Since tax authorities have not yet issued a resolution with respect to the abovementioned claims, on August 7, 2020, the Bank filed both reimbursement requests under the terms of section 81, Law No. 11683 with the Federal Contentious and Administrative Trial Courts, which are pending in Courts No. 8 and 2 of such jurisdiction, respectively (cases No. 11285/2020 and 11296/2020). Currently, in connection with the file for the fiscal year 2018, the evidence stage is closed and the process for allegation was delivered.

 

In connection with the tax periods mentioned in the previous paragraph, on December 19, 2019, the AFIP notified the beginning of the income tax audit for the 2018 tax period, and on May 3, 2021, it notified the beginning of the income tax audit for periods 2013 through 2017. On October 4, 2021, the AFIP ended the audit for periods 2013 through 2017 as the Bank had exercised in due time its right to resort to justice, and that the admission of reimbursement is subject to a court decision.

26.ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES IN THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

 

The Statement of cash flows presents the changes in cash and cash equivalents derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities during the period. For the preparation of the statement of cash flows the Bank adopted the indirect method for Operating Activities and the direct method for Investment Activities and Financing Activities.

-Operating activities: the normal revenue-producing activities of the Bank as well as other activities that cannot qualify as investing or financing activities.

 

-Investing activities: the acquisition, sale and disposal by other means of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

 

-Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the shareholders´ equity and liabilities of the Bank and that are not part of the operating or investing activities.
