AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

(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 A3 Mercados SA (former 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.

 

On May 18, 2023, Banco Macro SA acquired 100% of the capital stock of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU). 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.

 

On January 1, 2025, Banco Macro SA acquired the control of Alianza SGR. The main purpose of this company is the granting of guarantees.

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 regulatory provisions established by the BCRA, which are explained in the following paragraph, such framework is based on IFRS Accounting Standards (International Financial Reporting Standards) as issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish). The abovementioned international standards include the International Financial Reporting Standards (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 established by BCRA to the application of effective IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB 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 Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, 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 MARCH 31, 2025

(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, according to an estimation calculated by the Bank, the Statement of income of the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, would have recorded an increase in “Interest income” for an amount of 124,428, in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 10,391 and in “Income tax on continuing operations” for an amount of 74,591 and, on the other hand, a decrease in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 338,974, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2024 a decrease in “Interest income” for an amount of 3,137,692 and, on the other hand, an increase in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 2,423,831 and in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 335,724, 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 or the total comprehensive income of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Bank comply with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 8164. Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS Accounting Standards, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Basis for preparation and consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, 2024, already issued.

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements disclose figures expressed in thousands of argentine pesos in terms of purchasing power as of March 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025, is presented comparatively with year-end data of the immediately preceding fiscal year, while the statement of income, the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the statement of cash flows and cash equivalents for the three-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”).

 

Additionally, as it is mentioned in Note 11.2, during 2024 the additional amount established in the transaction price related to the purchase of Banco BMA SAU (formerly known as Banco Itaú Argentina SA), BMA Asset Management SGFCISA (formerly known as Itaú Asset Management SA) and BMA Valores SA (formerly known as Itaú Valores SA) was agreed and paid. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, retrospective adjustments amounted to 12,507,491 were made as of December 31, 2023, increasing “Other non-financial liabilities” and decreasing “Loss from associates and joint ventures”.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

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 March 31, 2025, 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 Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, 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) 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 8.57% and 51.62% for the three-month periods ended on March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 117.76% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2024.

 

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 current measuring unit 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.

 

(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 of 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 current measuring unit 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 of 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 of the period and deferred tax related to the revaluation (surplus of the revalued value over the restated value) is recognized in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

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

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

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 Accounting Standards, 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 current measuring unit 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”.

 

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 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, 2024, already issued.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Standards amendments adopted in the fiscal year

 

For the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2025, the following amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB are effective and they did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements as a whole:

 

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

 

New pronouncements

 

Pursuant to Communiqué “A” 6114 of the BCRA, as new IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB are approved and existing IFRS Accounting Standards 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:

 

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 condensed consolidated interim 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 condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards

 

In July 2024, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11. The following is a summary of the amendments made:

 

·IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Hedge accounting by a first-time adopter.
·IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures of gain or loss on derecognition, of deferred difference between fair value and transaction price, and credit risk disclosures; amendments are also made to paragraph IG1 of the Guidance on implementing.
·IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Lessee Derecognition of Lease Liabilities. However, the amendment does not address how a lessee distinguishes between a lease modification as defined in IFRS 16 and an extinguishment of a lease liability in accordance with IFRS 9.
·IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Transaction price: paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 has been amended to replace the reference to “transaction price as defined by IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers” with “the amount determined by applying IFRS 15”.
·IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements – Determination of a "De Facto Agent": paragraph B74 of IFRS 10 has been amended to clarify that the relationship described in paragraph B74 is just one example of various relationships that might exist between the investor and other parties acting as de facto agents of the investor.
·IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows – Cost Method: paragraph 37 of IAS 7 has been amended to replace the term "cost method" with "at cost", following the prior deletion of the definition of "cost method".

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank maintains the following maximum exposures to credit risk related to this type of transactions:

 

Composition  03/31/2025   12/31/2024

Total   5,173,841,325    4,613,400,899 

 

(1)Includes transactions not covered by the financial system debtor classification standard. The Guarantees granted include an amount of 2,348,843 and 898,699, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Overdraft and unused agreed commitments include an amount of 27,715,541 and 863,156, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 

Risks related to the abovementioned contingent transactions have been assessed and are controlled within the framework of the Bank’s credit risk policy, as described in Note 44 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024, already issued.

 

Disclosures related to the allowance for ECL are detailed in item 8.5 of Note 8 “Loss allowance for expected credit losses on credit exposures not measured at fair value through profit or loss”.

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, 2024, 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 and letters of credit, 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.

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 February 2025, under the terms of section 2, Presidential Decree No. 846/2024 issued by the Ministry of Economy, the Bank entered into voluntary debt exchange. The security involved in such exchange transaction was as follows:

 

·Argentine government Treasury bonds in pesos adjusted by CER 4.25% - Maturity: 02-14-2025 (T2X5) for a face value of 28,282,779,133.

 

The holding at amortized cost includes Argentine government Treasury bonds in pesos adjusted by CER – Maturity 06-30-2027 acquired in the first quarter of 2024 through primary subscription. In the third quarter, as a consequence of a reassessment of its monetary position, the Banks's Management resolved to reduce the position of inflation-adjustable securities through the exercise of put options with the BCRA and to maintain the residual portfolio of the aforementioned security until maturity.

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

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 A3 Mercados SA (former MAE).

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank has neither changed the techniques nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

Amount at the end of the fiscal year   3,673,562    201,021    7,157,303 

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 period or fiscal year, as applicable, 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 S.A.U.” and, consequently, subject to the authorization of the Business Associations Regulatory Agency of the Province of Santa Fe (IGPJ, for its acronym in Spanish), 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   112,967 
Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss   2,332,243

Financial assets delivered as guarantee   4,491,082 
Other financial assets   17,479,165

Other non-financial liabilities   4,814,162 
    22,825,171 
Net assets acquired at fair value   2,561,707 

 

The goodwill generated by the acquisition of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU) amounted to 807,769.

 

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), starting the first installment 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.

 

On September 29, 2023, Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU) distributed cash dividends amounting to 440,000 (not restated). Those dividends were received by Banco Macro SA on October 2, 2023. As it was explained in the previous paragraphs, dividends were used to pay the liability arising from the purchase, which decreased by USD 558,651.70.

11.2Banco BMA SAU (formerly known as Banco Itaú Argentina SA) and its subsidiaries

 

On August 23, 2023, Banco Macro SA entered into a stock purchase agreement with Itaú Unibanco Holding SA, through its affiliates Itaú Unibanco SA, Banco Itaú BBA SA and Itaú Consultoria de Valores Mobiliários e Participaçoes SA (collectively, “Itaú”), pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions (substantially the approval of the transaction by the BCRA), the Bank would acquire from Itaú the shares representing 100% of the capital stock and votes of Banco Itaú Argentina SA, Itaú Asset Management SA and Itaú Valores SA.

 

On November 2, 2023, the Board of Directors of the BCRA authorized the abovementioned purchase, as per the following breakdown:

 

·Banco Itaú Argentina SA: 100% of the capital stock and votes of Banco Itaú Argentina SA were acquired, represented by 729,166,165 ordinary shares and 14,565,089 preferred shares, out of which: (i) 721,697,119 ordinary shares and 14,565,089 preferred shares representing 98.995733% of capital stock were acquired from Itaú Unibanco SA and (ii) 7,469,046 ordinary shares representing 1.004267% of capital stock were acquired from Itaú BBA SA.

 

·Itaú Asset Management SA: 11,950 shares representing 13.00% of the capital stock of Itaú Asset Management SA were directly acquired from Itaú Unibanco SA, and indirectly, 80,000 shares, which represent 87.00% of the capital stock of Itaú Asset Management SA through the acquisition of Banco Itaú Argentina SA.

 

·Itaú Valores SA: 6,814,535 shares representing 13.00% of the capital stock and votes of Itaú Valores SA were directly acquired from Itaú Consultoria de Valores Mobiliários e Participações SA; and indirectly, 45,604,965 shares, representing 87.00% of the capital stock and votes of Itaú Valores SA, through the acquisition of Banco Itaú Argentina SA.

 

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 as 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 May 2024 for an amount of USD 7,564,706. The difference between such additional amount and the estimated additional amount at the acquisition date for an amount of 12,507,491 was recorded in comparative information for prior year, presented in lines “Other non-financial liabilities” and “Loss from associates and joint ventures” in accordance with IFRS 3, as it is explained in section “Comparative information” of the Note 3.

Therefore, since November 19, 2024, the authorization of Banco BMA SAU to operate as a commercial bank was revoked, and its buildings were incorporated to Banco Macro SA as branches.

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) 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;

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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)Corporate 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.

Reimbursement actions – Fiscal years 2013 to 2017 and 2018

 

On October 24, 2019, Banco Macro SA filed with the former AFIP 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 2013 through 2017 and 2018 tax periods, respectively, arising from the impossibility to apply the inflation adjustment and other adjustment mechanisms set forth by income tax Law (prior to the amendments introduced by Laws No. 27430 and 27468 for 2013 through 2017 tax periods, 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). In the absence of a resolution by the tax authorities with respect to the abovementioned claims, on August 7, 2020, the Bank filed both reimbursement requests under the terms of the second paragraph of the abovementioned 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 2018 tax period, the evidence stage is closed and the process for allegation was delivered.

 

Regarding to the tax periods mentioned in the previous paragraph, on December 19, 2019, the former 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 to 2017, both inclusive. On October 4, 2021, the former 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.

 

Regarding to the periods 2013 to 2017, on October 8, 2024, the Federal Contentious and Administrative Trial Court No. 8 issued a favorable sentence to the Bank's request, in which it admitted the recovery action for the amount of Ps. 4,782,766 plus compensatory interest. The aforementioned court considered that the lack of application of the tax inflation adjustment generated the taxation of a confiscatory income tax in the periods 2013/2017.

 

On October 16, 2024, the former AFIP appealed the sentence.

 

Reimbursement actions - Banco BMA SAU

 

Fiscal year 2016 - Banco BMA SAU

 

On September 19, 2017 Banco BMA SAU filed with the former AFIP a reimbursement action under the terms established by the first paragraph of section 81, Law No. 11683 requesting the reimbursement of 315,987 (not restated) paid to tax authorities as income tax during 2017 tax period, arising from the impossibility to apply the inflation adjustment and other adjustment mechanisms set forth by income tax Law (prior to the amendments introduced by Laws No. 27430 and 27468, plus the related compensatory interest). In the absence of a resolution by the tax authorities with respect to the abovementioned claim, Banco BMA SAU filed an appeal for delay with the Federal Administrative Tax Court. Against the original favorable sentence (from 2019), the former AFIP filed an extraordinary federal appeal. The appeal was denied by the Court, which caused the complaint being filed before the Court. On November 7, 2023, that complaint was rejected, leaving the favorable sentence of 2019 firm and confirmed in all its parts. An asset was recognized for the capital plus interest.

 

On February 15, 2024, a note was submitted to the former AFIP requesting that the favorable sentence be considered fulfilled and the balance in favor of the principal plus interest be credited.

 

On March 18, 2024, the former AFIP proceeded to recognize the balance in favor of the claimed capital (315,987, not restated) in the Tax Accounts System. For the interest owed by the tax authorities, an immediate release was submitted on April 17, 2024 for the amount of the updated interest (816,473, not restated).

 

Fiscal year 2017 - Banco BMA SAU

 

On December 17, 2018 Banco BMA SAU filed with the former AFIP a reimbursement action under the terms established by the first paragraph of section 81, Law No. 11683 requesting the reimbursement of 251,756 (not restated) paid to tax authorities as income tax during 2017 tax period, arising from the impossibility to apply the inflation adjustment and other adjustment mechanisms set forth by income tax Law (prior to the amendments introduced by Laws No. 27430 and 27468, plus the related compensatory interest). In the absence of a resolution, on April 29, 2019, an appeal for delay was filed with the Federal Administrative Tax Court, which processes the case in a paper file (as opposed to 2018, which is digital).

 

The tax authorities opportunely responded to the appeal, objecting to the evidence. On August 13, 2019, Banco BMA SAU responded to the notification of opposition to the evidence.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Since March 2020, the processing of paper files has been suspended due to the pandemic. In April 2021, the judicial recess was requested to be authorized because it was an exceptional case, which was rejected. Currently, the reimbursement has been accumulated for the periods 2019-2020, and it has not yet been opened to evidence.

 

Fiscal year 2018 - Banco BMA SAU

 

On May 28, 2019 Banco BMA SAU filed with the former AFIP a reimbursement action under the terms established by the first paragraph of section 81, Law No. 11683 requesting the reimbursement of 558,439 (not restated) paid to tax authorities as income tax during 2018 tax period, arising from the impossibility to apply the inflation adjustment and other adjustment mechanisms set forth by income tax Law, plus the related compensatory interest (SIGEA [case and file management system] file 19144-3641/2019). In the absence of a resolution by the tax authorities with respect to the abovementioned claim, on November 22, 2019 Banco BMA SAU filed an appeal for delay with the Federal Administrative Tax Court (EX-2019-104149820 -APN-DTD #JGN).

 

On April 18, 2023, Banco BMA SAU was notified of the final sentence, which approved the appeal for delay in resolving the reimbursement claim, ordering the former AFIP to return the sum of 558,439 (not restated) plus the applicable interest according to the BCRA's passive rate. The tax authorities subsequently appealed the sentence on the merits and the interest applied.

 

On May 15, 2025, the Court issued a sentence and rejected the extraordinary appeal filed by the national tax authorities. This milestone confirms the finality of the sentence that invoked the reimbursement claim for an amount of 558,439, to which must be added the accrued interest up to the payment date.

 

Fiscal years 2019 and 2020 - Banco BMA SAU

 

On December 29, 2022 Banco BMA SAU filed with the former AFIP a reimbursement action under the terms established by the first paragraph of section 81, Law No. 11683 requesting the reimbursement of 639,325 (not restated) and 965,670 (not restated) paid to tax authorities as income tax during 2019 and 2020 tax periods, respectively, as a result of settling the tax by partially incorporating the inflation adjustment set forth by the Section VI of the income tax Law (according to Decree 824/2019), one sixth (1/6) in accordance with section 194 incorporated by Law 27541 and computing the updated amortizations only for the fix assets and intangibles acquired since January 1, 2018, plus the related compensatory interest. In the absence of a resolution by the tax authorities with respect to the abovementioned claim, on June 5, 2023 Banco BMA SAU filed an appeal for delay with the Federal Administrative Tax Court (EX-2023- 63876605- -APN-SGAI#TFN – in process in Courtroom “B”, Office 6). On September 15, 2023, the tax authorities responded to the appeal for delay and ordered the accumulation of the file with that of 2017 (File No. 49836-I).

 

Regarding to the tax periods mentioned in the previous paragraph, on May 19, 2023, the former AFIP notified the beginning of an income tax audit, which is in progress.

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:

In calculating the weighted average of outstanding common shares, the number of shares at the beginning of the fiscal year is adjusted, if applicable, by the number of common shares issued or withdrawn during the period, weighted by the number of days those shares have been outstanding. Note 29 provides a breakdown of the changes in the Bank's capital stock.

 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is provided in the “Earnings per share” table of the condensed consolidated interim income Statement. See also Note 40.

31.DEPOSIT GUARANTEE INSURANCE

 

Law No. 24485 and Decree No. 540/1995 created the Deposit Guarantee Insurance System, which was featured as a limited, compulsory and onerous system, aimed at covering the risks of bank deposits, as subsidiary and supplementary to the deposit privilege and protection system established under the Financial Entities Law.

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

 

They are mainly composed of prepayments towards the placement price of provisional trust securities of financial trusts under public and private offering (Confibono, Secubono, Consubond and Megabono Crédito). The assets managed by these trusts are mainly related to securitizations of consumer loans. Trust securities are placed once the public offering is authorized by the CNV. Upon expiry of the placement period, once the trust securities have been placed on the market, the Bank recovers the disbursements made plus an agreed-upon compensation. If after making the best efforts such trust securities cannot be placed, the Bank will retain the definitive trust securities for itself.

 

Additionally, the portfolio of financial trusts for investment purposes is completed with definitive trust securities of financial trusts in public and private offering (Payway Cobro Acelerado, Secubono, Red Surcos and Megabono Crédito) and certificates of participation (Arfintech).

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts for investment purposes, amounted to 24,153,797 and 5,422,072, respectively.

 

According to the latest accounting information available as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the corpus assets of the trusts exceed the carrying amount in the related proportions.

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 5,667, 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.

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 4,746,540 and 5,137,992, respectively.

 

33.4Trusts in which the Bank acts as Trustee (Management)

 

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.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the assets managed by the Bank amounted to 128,843,896 and 103,116,132, respectively.

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.

 

There follows a description of the situation of Banco Macro SA as of March 31, 2025:

 

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 03/01/2021 the Bank paid the fines. 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). On 10/08/2024, the CSJN rejected the complaint appeal, upholding the Court's sentence that rejected the Direct Appeal filed by the Bank and the Directors.

 

Criminal foreign exchange summary proceedings: No. 7642 dated 10/18/2021.

 

Reason: supposed noncompliance with article 1 sections e) and f) of the Criminal Foreign Exchange Regime (TO by Decree No. 480/95), together with points 5, 9, 15 and 18 of BCRA Communiqué “A” 6770, and points 1.2 and 5.3 of the BCRA Communiqué “A” 6844.

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA, Foreign Trade Team Leader, Regular Head of Foreign Exchange Control, Banking Transactions Manager and Compliance Manager.

 

Status: on 12/29/2021, Banco Macro SA and the natural persons subject to summary proceedings filed their joint defenses, offering evidence and requesting an acquittal. On 03/15/2022, the BCRA dismissed the previous defenses performed by the Bank and the rest of the responsible parties who, on 03/25/2022, filed an appeal and a nullity request which was dismissed by the BCRA. Against such resolution, on 04/25/2022 a complaint appeal was filed to the Federal Court in Economic and Criminal Matters, Courtroom No. 5, which dismissed the abovementioned appeal and submitted the file to an administrative area to continue with the proceeding. On 04/04/2023, the Bank filed a Defense Statement, being closed the evidence stage. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the case is pending resolution.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

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

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

Criminal foreign exchange summary proceedings: No. 8062 dated 08/08/2023.

 

Reason: alleged infringements of Criminal Foreign Exchange Law, section 1(e) and (f), as well as points 1.2, 3.6.2, 3.16.1, 5.3, 10.4.2.4 and 10.4.2.5 of the Revised Text on Foreign Exchange Matters. On 03/15/2024, the BCRA dismiss the previous defenses performed by the responsible parties. Against this, on 03/20/2024, they filed an appeal and a nullity request, for its resolution in court, which were rejected because the Court in Economic and Criminal Matters considered that the resolutions issued by the BCRA during the summary investigation are not appealable.

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA, Trade Team Leader, Regular Head of Foreign Exchange Control, Banking Transactions Manager and Compliance Manager.

 

Status: the case is in evidence production stage (the production of evidence was notified by the BCRA on 10/03/2024). As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the BCRA is still pending to close the evidence stage and place the file for arguments.

 

File: No. 7810.

 

Reason: alleged breach in exchange matters, 1 operation in 2018 and 12 operations in 2020.

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Itaú Argentina SA, General Manager of former Banco BMA SAU, 1 member of the Board of Directors, Regular Head of Foreign Exchange Control, Alternate Head of Foreign Exchange Control, Transactions Manager and Head of Foreign Trade.

 

Status: on October 25, 2022, former Banco BMA SAU filed their defenses. On April 20, 2023, the BCRA ordered the opening of the evidence stage. On May 6, 2024, the BCRA resolved to close the probationary period. On May 13, 2024, each of the defendants lodged their memorials. The next step will be for the BCRA to submit the summary proceedings to the Federal Court of First Instance in Economic and Criminal Matters.

 

Penalties imposed by the Financial Information Unit (UIF, for its acronym in Spanish)

 

File: No. 248/2014 (UIF Note Presidency 245/2013 11/26/2013) dated 07/30/2014.

 

Reason: alleged deficiencies in preparing certain reports on suspicious transactions (ROS, for its acronym in Spanish) due to cases of infringement detected in certain customer files. Penalty amount: 330 (not restated).

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA, members of the Board of Directors and those in charge of anti-money laundering regulation compliance.

 

Status: on 12/26/2016 the UIF passed Resolution No. 164/16 imposing fines on those responsible and issuing a favorable decision on the plea of lack of capacity to be sued lodged by two of the Directors. On 01/26/2017 the fines imposed were paid. Against such resolution, the Bank and the individuals liable filed direct appeals, which will be decided at Room III of the CNACAF. Such appeals were dismissed through a final sentence dated 07/18/2019. On 08/15/2019, the Bank filed a federal extraordinary appeal which was dismissed through resolution dated 09/26/2019. On 10/03/2019 the Bank filed a complaint appeal to CSJN which was dismissed on 02/29/2024, therefore, the Bank does no longer has elements to attempt to reduce the fines imposed by the UIF, and the aforementioned penalty is confirmed.

 

Additionally, there are pending summary proceedings before the CNV and the UIF, as described below:

 

File: No. 1480/2011 (CNV Resolution No. 17529) dated 09/26/2014.

 

Reason: potential non-compliance with the obligation to inform a “Significant Event”. Penalty amount: 500 (not restated).

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA, 10 members of the Board of Directors, 3 regular members of the Statutory Audit Committee and the person in charge of market relations.

 

Status: on 10/28/2014 the Bank and the persons involved filed their defenses offering evidence and requesting their acquittal. On 08/03/2015 the term to produce evidence was closed and on 08/19/2015 the defendants lodged their memorials. On 03/04/2021, the Board of Directors of the CNV filed a resolution dismissing the nullity and imposing a fine to the Bank jointly and severally with its Directors at the moment when the facts were investigated. Against such resolution, on 05/03/2021 a direct appeal was filed. In December 2021, the CNV referred the proceedings to the National Court of Appeals of Federal Administrative Litigation (CNACAF, for its acronym in Spanish), under the file number 14633/2021. On 08/10/2023, the Court considered the notice sent to the Argentine Government’s legal counsel. On 02/20/2024, the Court resolved to revoke the appealed resolution, declaring the sanctioning action extinguished for having infringed the guarantee of reasonable period and due process, with costs to the defeated party. On 03/06/2024 the CNV brought an Extraordinary Federal Appeal, which was answered on 07/04/2024 requesting its dismissal and answering the grievances in subsidy. On 09/05/2024, the Courtroom II of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court decided to deny the extraordinary appeal filed. On 09/12/2024, the CNV filed a complaint appeal against the denial of the Extraordinary Federal Appeal. The file is currently in Judicial Secretariat No. 1 of the Federal Supreme Court of Justice.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

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

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

File: No. 137/2015 (UIF Resolution No. 136/2017) dated 12/19/2017.

 

Reason: alleged breach to the contents of the Code of Procedure applicable to Anti-money Laundering and Terrorism Financing as ALyC - Integral at the time of an inspection of the CNV and to the Internal Audit Process referred to in its capacity as ALyC - Integral (UIF Resolution No. 229/2011, as amended), Penalty amount: 50 (not restated).

 

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

 

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 individuals subject to summary proceedings 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. On 08/30/2024 the Legal Matters Management issued a verdict analyzing the legality of the proceedings, emphasizing the lack of a quorum in the Advisory Council, which allows the President of the UIF to make decisions without its intervention. It was concluded that, despite material errors corrected, there are no legal objections to continue with the administrative procedure, emphasizing the importance of the UIF in the prevention of financial crimes. On 09/17/2024, the UIF resolved to reject the Bank's defenses and impose a fine for a total amount of 400 on Banco Macro SA and a fine for a total amount of 400 on several of its directors for noncompliance with the regulations for the anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. On 10/30/2024, a direct appeal was filed before the CNACF against Resolution No. RESAP-2024-13-APN-UIF#MJ, which is being processed before Chamber I of the aforementioned Court of Appeals, under the file “BANCO MACRO SA Y OTROS c/ UIF (EX 379/15 - RESOL 13/24) s/CODIGO PENAL - LEY 25246 - DTO 290/07 ART 25” (File No. 18631/2024). On 12/17/2024, the Court served notice on the Prosecutor, who issued his verdict on 02/11/2025 verifying that the direct appeals were filed on time. On 02/24/2025, the transfer of the appeals to the UIF was ordered for a period of 30 days. On this matter, on 03/11/2025 the UIF was notified of the transfer, with its expiration date on 04/28/2025.

 

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.

On April 26, 2016, the General Regular Shareholders’ Meeting approved the creation of a Global Program for the Issuance of Medium-Term Debt Securities, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 23576, as amended and further applicable regulations, up to a maximum amount outstanding at any time during the term of the program of USD 1,000,000,000 (one billion US dollars), or an equal amount in other currencies or power units, under which it is possible to issue simple corporate bonds, not convertible into shares in one or more classes. Also, on April 28, 2017, the General Regular and Special Shareholder’ Meeting resolved to extend the maximum amount of the abovementioned Global Program up to USD 1,500,000,000 (one thousand five hundred millions US dollars), and on April 27, 2018, the abovementioned Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to increase the maximum amount of the Global Program for the Issuance of Corporate Bonds, in face value, from USD 1,500,000,000 to USD 2,500,000,000 or an equal amount in other currencies, as determined by the Board of Directors in due time. Finally, on October 20, 2021 due to a Board of Director resolution, the Bank required from the CNV a five-year extension of the abovementioned program, which was approved by the Regulator through a note issued on December 15, 2021.

 

(1)On November 4, 2016, under the abovementioned Global Program, the Bank issued Subordinated Resettable Corporate Bonds, class A, at a fixed rate of 6.75% p.a. until reset date, fully amortizable upon maturity (November 4, 2026) for a face value of USD 400,000,000 (four hundred million US dollars), under the terms and conditions set forth in the pricing supplement dated October 21, 2016. Interest is paid semiannually on May 4 and November 4 of every year and the reset date was November 4, 2021.

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the reset rate was established until the maturity date at 6.643% as a result of the benchmark reset rate plus 546.3 basis points, according to the abovementioned terms and conditions. As the Bank had not exercised the option to fully or partially redeem the issuance on the reset date and under the conditions established in the pricing supplement, it was established up to maturity.

 

On the other hand, it could be fully redeemed, not partially, and only for tax or regulatory purposes. The Bank used the funds derived from such issuance to grant loans in accordance with BCRA guidelines.

 

(2)On February 29, 2008, the shareholders’ meeting of former Banco BMA SAU, now merged with Banco Macro SA, approved the presentation of a program for the issuance and placement of corporate bonds for USD 250,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. On April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors of the CNV authorized through resolution No. 15869 the entry of Banco Itaú Argentina SA into public offering regime through the issuance of corporate bonds for up to an amount of USD 250,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. On April 30, 2008, the CNV approved the Program Prospectus.

 

On March 9, 2013, the shareholders’ meeting of former Banco BMA SAU resolved to extend the amount of the Corporate Bonds Program up to USD 350,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. On May 23, 2018, the CNV approved through resolution No. 19527 the increase in the amount and the extension of the Program.

 

On March 14, 2022, under the abovementioned Program, former Banco BMA SAU issued non-subordinated corporate bonds Series XXXII at a fixed rate of 2.78% plus UVA adjustment, fully amortizable upon maturity (August 18, 2025). Interest is paid quarterly, in arrears.

39.TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

39.1Tax claims

 

The former 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)Former 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 former 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.

 

On 09/02/2024, the National Tax Court issued a sentence against the Bank’s interests, with costs at its expense. On 09/16/2024, a limited review and appeal request was filed before the Federal Administrative Contentious Court, which was initiated on 09/23/2024 and is pending elevation and, therefore, resolution. As a consequence of the above, on 09/23/2024 the Bank promoted an autonomous cautionary action, requesting the intervening Judge to order the former AFIP to suspend the coercive claim until the final resolution of the substantive issue, currently with a pending appeal request before the Court. The aforementioned cautionary action is being processed before the Federal Administrative Contentious Court No. 12, under file No. 16201/2024.

 

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 tax advisors and legal counsel consider no further significant accounting effects could arise from the final outcome of the abovementioned proceedings other than those disclosed in these consolidated 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 March 31, 2025 was 157,571,458 (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” 8214, the BCRA established that up to December 31, 2025, 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 ten equal, monthly and consecutive installments (from June 30, 2025 and no earlier than the penultimate working day of the following months). 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 or the date of payment of each installment, as applicable. Subsequently, through Communiqué “A” 8235, the BCRA established that financial institutions that resolve to distribute earnings within the framework of what is expected by the Communiqué "A” 8214, 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.

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

 

As a financial institution, the activities of Banco Macro SA are 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.

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 prices of public and private financial instruments, including a significant increase of country risk, the strong devaluation of the argentine peso, the acceleration of the inflation rate (see Note 3, section "Unit of measurement") and the rising interest rates.

 

On December 10, 2023, the new authorities of the argentine National Government took office and issued a series of emergency measures within the framework of an economic policy proposal that, among its main objectives, pursues the elimination of the fiscal deficit on the basis of reducing primary public spending of both the Nation and the Provinces, and the resizing of the Federal Government’s structure, eliminating subsidies and transfers.

 

As soon as the new administration took office, it adopted measures aimed at normalizing the exchange and financial markets. On the one hand, the devaluation of the peso in the official exchange market -used mainly for foreign trade- close to 55%, together with a complete reconsideration of monetary and fiscal policies, has allowed to begin to reverse the gap between the values of currencies in the official and free exchange markets (stock market operations) from its maximum of 200% during the last quarter of 2023. On April 11, 2025, the argentine National Government announced a series of measures aimed at easing regulations related to access to the foreign exchange market. Among other modifications, these measures include the establishment of floating bands (between Ps. 1,000 and Ps. 1,400, range to be updated at a rate of 1% per month) within which the dollar exchange rate in the foreign exchange market may fluctuate, and the elimination of foreign exchange restrictions applicable to individuals, including the limit of access to the foreign exchange market for up to USD 200 per month. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the mentioned gap between the values of currencies in the official and free exchange markets arises to 1%.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

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

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in constant currency)

 

On the other hand, the National Government and the BCRA reformulated monetary and financial policies to drastically reduce the known as quasi-fiscal deficit. The debt exchange of the BCRA with the banks, including puts on government securities held by financial institutions, and their transfer to the National Treasury, together with the fiscal cash surplus obtained by the Nation and the renewal of the debt services denominated in pesos, allowed to significantly absorb the excess of money in the economy and, in this way, reduce both inflation (8.57% during the first quarter of 2025) and nominal interest rates.

 

In relation to national public debt, various voluntary exchanges at local level and the agreements reached regarding commitments with the Paris Club and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), allowed the country to avoid arrears and the BCRA to advance in the normalization of foreign commercial debt and, more recently, to accumulate international reserves from the external trade surplus and the Assets Regularization Regime contemplated in Law 27743. On April 11, 2025, the IMF Executive Board approved a program of Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for a total amount of approximately USD 20 billion, also approving an immediate initial disbursement of USD 12 billion and an additional disbursement of USD 2 billion scheduled for June 2025. Additionally, on April 11, 2025, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank approved the granting of financial assistance to Argentina under respective multi-year programs amounting to USD 12 billion (of which USD 1.5 billion will be deposited immediately) and USD 10 billion, respectively.

 

On a broader level, the National Government's program includes reforms to both the economic framework and other areas of government work. On December 20, 2023, through Decree of Necessity and Urgency No. 70/2023, a significant number of reforms were established in a large number of areas, some of which were challenged in the Justice by the affected sectors, presenting protections and unconstitutionality requests to stop their application. Subsequently, part of what was challenged was incorporated into other initiatives that were approved by Congress and promulgated by the National Executive Branch. On July 8, 2024, Law No. 27742 was published in the Official Gazette and promulgated by the National Executive Branch through Decree No. 592/2024 and includes among its points delegation of powers to the National Executive Branch, tax, labor and social security reforms, among others.

 

Although the argentine macroeconomic and financial environment has evolved favorably in the last months, a certain slowness and heterogeneity in the recovery of the activity level in the country and a relatively uncertain international context, require permanent monitoring of the situation by the Bank's Management in order to identify those issues that may impact its patrimonial and financial position, which may be appropriate to reflect in the Financial Statements of future periods.

 

43.EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD

 

No other significant events occurred between the end of the period and the issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements that may materially affect the financial position or the profit and loss of the period, not disclosed in these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

44.ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES – EXPLANATION ADDED FOR TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH

 

These condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are presented in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA, as mentioned in Note 3. These accounting standards may not conform to accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

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, Fintech SGR and Alianza 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 A3 Mercados SA (former 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 the control of 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, 2024, already issued, is a structured entity in which the Bank has control.

 

On May 18, 2023, Banco Macro SA acquired 100% of the capital stock of Macro Agro SAU (formerly known as Comercio Interior SAU). 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.

 

On the other hand, on November 19, 2024, the BCRA authorized Banco Macro SA, under the terms of section 7 of the Financial Institutions Law, to merge by absorption, as absorbing entity, with Banco BMA SAU.

 

On January 1, 2025, Banco Macro SA acquired the control of Alianza SGR. The main purpose of this company is the granting of guarantees.

 

On May 28, 2025, 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 IFRS Accounting Standards (International Financial Reporting Standards) as issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish). The abovementioned international standards include the International Financial Reporting Standards (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 established by BCRA to the application of effective IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB 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 Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, 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 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, according to an estimation calculated by the Bank, the Statement of income of the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, would have recorded an increase in “Interest income” for an amount of 124,428, in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 10,391 and in “Income tax on continuing operations” for an amount of 74,591 and, on the other hand, a decrease in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 338,974, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2024 a decrease in “Interest income” for an amount of 3,137,692 and, on the other hand, an increase in “Loss on net monetary position” for an amount of 2,423,831 and in “Net gain from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of 335,724, 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 or the total comprehensive income of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Bank comply with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB as adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 8164. Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS Accounting Standards, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Applicable Accounting Policies

 

Note 3 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024, 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 MARCH 31, 2025

(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 “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 “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 “Income of the period from interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity 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.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank maintains the following maximum exposures to credit risk related to this type of transactions:

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

 

Note 8 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, details the allowances recognized by the Bank under this concept.

 

Additionally, exhibit R “Value adjustment for credit losses – Allowances for uncollectibility risk”, the ECL movements at sector and product level are also disclosed.

 

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
