HIGHLIGHTS

 

Net income for the quarter amounted to Ps.1,480 million, Ps.334 million (29.1%) higher than in the same quarter of the 2016 fiscal year.

 

The growth in results when compared to the first quarter of the 2016 fiscal year was mainly attributable to the 40.7% growth in net operating income,(1) due to the higher level of intermediation with the private sector, partially offset by the 87.2% increase in provisions for loan losses and by the 35.2% increase in administrative expenses, which was attributable to the higher level of activity and to the evolution of expenses.

 

The credit exposure to the private sector reached Ps.165,738 million, up 37.9% during the last twelve months, and deposits reached Ps.158,875 million, up 46.8% during the same period. As of March 31, 2017, the Bank’s estimated market share of loans to the private sector was 10.33% while its estimated market share of deposits from the private sector was 10.24%.

 

The non-accrual loan portfolio represented 3.40% of total loans to the private sector, representing an increase of 8 basis points (“bp”) from the 3.32% recorded at the end of the same quarter of the 2016 fiscal year, while its coverage with allowances for loan losses reached 100.12%, 8.19 percentage points lower than a year before.

 

In the framework of the Credit Line for Production Financing and Financial Inclusion, as of March 31, 2017, the Bank granted the mandatory amount established by the relevant regulations in force. As of the end of the quarter, the outstanding amount of loans granted within the framework of this credit line reached Ps.14,443 million.

 

As of the end of the quarter, shareholders’ equity amounted to Ps.20,386 million, and the computable capital was Ps.23,454 million, representing a Ps.7,013 million (or 42.7%) excess over the capital requirement, and reaching a regulatory capital ratio of 11.68%.

The operating income for the first quarter of the 2017 fiscal year totaled Ps.8,408 million, up 40.7% from the Ps.5,977 million recorded in the same quarter of the prior year. This positive development was due to both a higher net financial income (up Ps.1,211 million or 33.7%) and a higher net income from services (up Ps.1,220 million or 51.1%).

The net financial income for the quarter included a Ps.138 million gain from foreign-currency quotation differences (including the results from foreign-currency forward transactions), compared to a Ps.552 million profit in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. The quarter’s profit was composed of a Ps.389 million gain from FX brokerage and of a Ps.251 million loss from the valuation of the foreign-currency net position and the results from foreign-currency forward transactions, compared to profits of Ps.261 million and Ps.291 million, respectively, in the first quarter of the 2016 fiscal year.

The quarter’s net financial income before foreign-currency quotation differences amounted to Ps.4,662 million, with a Ps.1,625 million (53.5%) increase as compared to the Ps.3,037 million income from the same quarter of the 2016 fiscal year, as a consequence of the increase in the portfolio of loans to the private sector together with a higher spread.

(*) Does not include foreign-currency quotation differences. Annual nominal interest rates were calculated using a 360-day denominator.

The average interest-earning assets grew Ps.30,676 million (23.4%) as compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, primarily as a consequence of the Ps.41,040 million increase in the average portfolio of loans to the private sector (41.6%). Interest-bearing liabilities increased Ps.33,538 million (35.3%) during the same period, mainly due to the increase of the average balances of saving deposits (91.2%), primarily resulting from the Tax Amnesty Law.

The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first quarter of the 2017 fiscal year was 22.86%, representing a 144 bp decrease compared to the same quarter of the prior year, mainly due to a 386 bp decrease in interest rates on loans. Likewise, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 12.03%, representing a 611 bp decrease compared to the first quarter of the prior year, mainly due to the decrease in the average interest rate on time deposits, for 659 bp, and on debt securities, for 634 bp.

   LOGO    8


Provisions for loan losses for the first quarter of the 2017 fiscal year amounted to Ps.1,157 million, Ps.539 million higher than those recorded in the same quarter of the prior year, due to the evolution of credits in arrears of the consumer portfolio and to higher regulatory provisions on the portfolio in normal situations as a consequence of the increase in the volume of credit.

Administrative expenses for the quarter totaled Ps.4,932 million, up 35.2% from the same quarter of the previous year. Personnel expenses amounted to Ps.2,757 million, growing 36.9%, mainly as a consequence of salary increase agreements with the unions, a provision related to certain compensations and to non-recurring human resources expenses. The remaining administrative expenses amounted to Ps.2,175 million, with a Ps.542 million (33.2%) increase as compared to the Ps.1,633 million from the first quarter of the 2016 fiscal year, mainly due to increases in cash transportation, electricity and communications, security services, maintenance and taxes, which resulted from the increase in the level of activity and of expenses related to services provided to the Bank.

Net other income for the quarter amounted to Ps.48 million, with a decrease of Ps.67 million as compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

The income tax charge was Ps.887 million, Ps.206 million higher than in the first quarter of the 2016 fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2017, the Bank’s deposits amounted to Ps.158,875 million, representing a 46.8% increase during the last twelve months, as a consequence of the 23.3% increase in peso-denominated deposits and of the 156.1% increase in dollar-denominated deposits, mainly due to the Tax Amnesty Law. During the quarter the increase was of 4.5%, with a growth of 8.6% for peso-denominated deposits and a decrease of 3.7% for dollar-denominated deposits, due to a higher balance of time deposits, which grew Ps.13,194 million (30.1%), partially offset by a Ps.4,523 (8.3%) decrease in transactional deposits (current accounts and saving accounts) influenced by the high base of comparison from the last quarter of 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, the Bank’s consolidated computable capital was Ps.7,013 million (42.7%) higher than the Ps.16,441 million capital requirement. As of March 31, 2016, this excess amounted to Ps.2,043 million or 16.4%.

The minimum capital requirement increased Ps.3,984 million as compared to March 31, 2016, mainly as a result of higher requirements of (i) Ps.3,010 million due to the growth of the private-sector loan portfolio; and (ii) Ps.827 million on operational risk.

Computable capital increased Ps.8,954 million as compared to March 31, 2016, mainly as a consequence of a higher Tier I capital, for Ps.5,422 million, mainly due to the higher net income, partially offset by higher deductions, resulting from organization and development expenses. Tier II capital recorded a Ps.3,532 million increase, mainly due to (i) 100% of the subordinated notes issued on July 19, 2016, for US $250 million, which proceeds were used to cancel in advance the subordinated notes due in 2019, of which 24% was considered as computable capital; and (ii) the higher balance of the provision for loan losses on the credit portfolio in normal situation.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

BANCO GALICIA

PLAZA GALICIA

With an investment of more than US $130 million, on March 29, Banco Galicia inaugurated its first building entirely designed under sustainability standards, with 30% of the building structure dedicated to green spaces, located in the Chacarita neighborhood, in the City of Buenos Aires.

TARJETAS DEL MAR

On March 30, Banco Galicia sold all its interests in Tarjetas del Mar SA, which represented 58.8% of the capital stock of said company, to Sociedad Anónima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia S.A. In addition, Compañía Financiera Argentina sold its interests in Tarjetas del Mar SA, which represented 1.2% of its capital to Mr. Federico Braun.

The overall price of the transaction amounted to US $5 million and did not have a significant impact on the Bank’s equity.

AGUAS CORDOBESAS DEL MAR

After the end of the quarter, the Bank accepted an offer to purchase all of its interests in Aguas Cordobesas S.A., which represented 10.833% of the capital stock of said company.

The offer comprises 3,250,000 class “E” shares, 2,350,000 of which are freely transferable and the remaining 900,000 of which are subject to the prior consent of the Province of Córdoba, as the Grantor of the services provided by the company.

The price of the transaction amounted to Ps.48 million, which was paid by an initial payment of Ps.38.3 million with the balance of Ps.9.7 million to be paid once the requisite consent has been obtained from Province of Córdoba as the Grantor of the services provided by the company.

NOTES

On April 5, 2017, the Board of Directors of Banco Galicia approved the issuance of Class IV Notes under the framework of the Global Program for the issuance of short-, medium- and/or long term notes. On May 8, 2017, the CNV authorized its issuance for up to US $150 million, which could be increased up to US $300 million, with a maturity of 36 months from the date of issuance and settlement. The Class IV Notes will accrue interest at a floating rate equivalent to the simple arithmetic average of the private Badlar rate plus a spread, which will be paid quarterly.

IFRS REGULATIONS

Beginning with the financial statements corresponding to the first quarter of the 2017 fiscal year, the adjustments corresponding to the application of IFRS are reported as a note to the balance sheet. IFRS will be fully applied as of the 2018 fiscal year. As of March 31, 2017, the adjustment to Banco Galicia’s net worth as a result of the application of these standards amounted to Ps.3,260 million, reaching an adjusted net worth of Ps.23,646 million. For Grupo Financiero Galicia, the adjustment amounted to Ps.2,942 million and the adjusted balance to Ps.24,895 million. These figures are subject to changes and may only be considered definitive when preparing the annual financial statements for the year in which IFRS are applied for the first time.
