1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Macro SA (hereinafter, the Bank), is a stock corporation (sociedad anónima), organized in the Republic of Argentina 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.

Therefore, the minority shareholders of Banco del Tucumán SA will be entitled to receive at 0.65258 common shares of Banco Macro SA, for each face value $ 1 of ordinary shares they hold in the capital of Banco del Tucumán SA. Consequently, Banco Macro will issue 15,662 Class B common, registered shares, with a face value of Ps. 1 each one and entitled to one vote, to be delivered to minority Shareholders’ of Banco del Tucumán SA.

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

 

Presentation basis

 

Applicable Accounting Standards

 

On February 12, 2014, through Communiqué “A” 5541, the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA, for its acronym in Spanish) established the general guidelines towards conversion to the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for preparing financial statements of the entities under its supervision, for the annual fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018, as well as those of interim-periods.

 

Additionally, through Communiqués “A” 6114, the BCRA set specific guidelines within the scope of such convergence process, among which it defined (i) the transitory exception to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55) up to the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2020, considering Communiqué “A” 6778; and (ii) in order to calculate the effective interest rate of assets and liabilities so requiring it for the measurement thereof, pursuant to IFRS 9, up to December 31, 2019, the Bank may transitorily make a global estimate of the calculation of the effective interest rate on a group of financial assets or liabilities with similar characteristics which shall be applied such effective interest rate. If section 5.5 “Impairment”, mentioned in (i) above had applied, according to a global estimation performed by the Bank, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the shareholders’ equity would have increased by 1,536,828 and 280,978, respectively. The figures stated as of September 30, 2019 includes 1,476,799 generated by the allowance mentioned in note 10.

 

As of September 30, 2019 the conditions to apply inflation adjustment in the condensed consolidated interim financial statement for the nine-month period ended on that date, as established by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economy” were met. However, for the reasons described in section “measuring unit” of this note, financial institutions, transitorily, cannot apply the above-mentioned standard.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Bank were prepared pursuant with Conceptual Framework as established by BCRA based on IFRS (Communiqué “A” 6114 and supplementary rules of the BCRA), with the exceptions described in the preceding paragraphs. Taking into account these exceptions, the Conceptual Framework comprises the Standards and Interpretations adopted by the IASB and includes:

 

-the IFRS;
-the International Accounting Standards (IAS); and
-the interpretations developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or former IFRIC (SIC).

 

Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Basis for the preparation and consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2019, have been prepared in accordance with the framework set forth 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 “new standards adopted” 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, 2018, already issued.

Figures expressed in thousands of pesos

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements disclose figures expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos and are rounded up to the nearest amount in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Comparative information

 

The present condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2019, is presented comparatively with year-end data of the immediately preceding fiscal year, while the statement of income and the statement of other comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the statement of cash flows and cash equivalents for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, are presented comparatively with data as of the same period of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

 

Measuring unit

 

IFRS require that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment of that nature, IAS 29 establishes (i) certain qualitative indicators, not limited to, consisting of analyzing the general population behavior, prices, interest rates and wages with changes to a price index and the loss of purchasing power, and (ii) a quantitative indicator which is the most common in practice, consisting of a three-year cumulative inflation rate of 100% or above. Whilst in the recent years there was an important increase in the general level of prices, the three-year cumulative inflation had maintained in Argentina below 100%. However, due to miscellaneous macroeconomic factors the three-year inflation rate exceeds that figure, and, also the Argentine government goals and other available estimates indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term.

Consequently, the Argentine economy is currently considered hyperinflationary under IAS 29 and the Argentine financial entities that are required to apply the IFRSs adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 6114 and the functional currency of which is the Argentine peso should restate their financial statements. Such restatement should 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 will be used, as prepared and published on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish), which combines 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 indexes published by the INDEC until that date. For the months of November and December 2015, for which the INDEC did not publish the wholesale price index (WPI) variation, the CPI variation for the CABA is used.

 

Considering the abovementioned indexes, the inflation rate was 37.70% and 32.41% for the nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 47.64% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2018.

 

Notwithstanding the above, as established by BCRA Communiqué “A” 6651, considering in addition Communiqué “A” 6778, financial institutions shall start the inflation adjustment on its financial statements according to IAS 29, for the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2020.

 

The nonrecognition of changes in the general purchasing power under hyperinflationary conditions, may distort accounting information and, therefore, this situation should be taken into account in the interpretation of the Bank’s information on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements over financial position, the result of its operations and its cash flows.

 

Below there is a description of the main impacts if IAS 29 were to be applied:

 

(a)Financial statements shall be restated considering the changes in the general purchasing power of the currency to ensure that they are stated in the current measuring unit at end of the reporting period.

 

(b)To sum up, the restating mechanism provided by IAS 29 is as follows:

 

(i)Monetary items (the ones that are already stated in terms of the current measuring unit) are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at 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, in some extend such effects. The net gain or loss on a monetary basis shall be included in profit or loss for the period.

 

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

 

(iii)Nonmonetary 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 measurement unit, the income or loss produced by holding these nonmonetary items.

 

(iv)Nonmonetary items carried at historical cost or at current cost at some earlier date before the reporting date, shall be restated by an index 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. Income or loss for the period related to depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets and other nonmonetary cost shall be determined over the new restated amounts.

 

(v)When an entity capitalizes borrowing cost in the nonmonetary assets, the part of the borrowing cost that compensates for the inflation during the same period will not be capitalized.

 

(vi)The restatement of nonmonetary assets in terms of a current measurement unit at the end of the reporting period, without an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes generates a taxable temporary difference and a deferred income tax liability is recognized and the contra account is recognized as profit or loss for the period. When, beyond the restatement, there is a revaluation of nonmonetary assets, the deferred tax related to the restatement is recognized in profit or loss for the period and deferred tax related with the revaluation is recognized in other comprehensive income for the period.

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

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

 

(viii)At the beginning of the first period of application of the restatement of financial statements in constant currency, the components of equity, except for the retained earnings, are restated according IAS 29, and the retained earning amount is determinated as a difference, once the equity items were restated.

 

If the Bank, according to a global estimation, had applied IAS 29 the Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 would have increased by 12,428,326 and 29,233,222, respectively, including the effects for the application of section 5.5. “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 abovementioned. On the other hand, the comprehensive income for the nine-month period would have decreased by 15,584,652.

 

New standards adopted

 

For the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2019, the following IFRS amendments and interpretation (hereinafter, “IFRIC”) are applicable and they did not have a material impact over these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as a whole.

 

IFRS 16 “Leases”

 

IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17 “Leases” and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, introducing significant changes when the Bank acts as lessee. In cases when the Bank acts as a lessor, no significant changes were generated with respect to the preceding IAS.

 

When the Bank acts as a lessee, the lease contracts (and sub lease) are recognized under a single accounting model which eliminates the dual accounting method that distinguishes between operating leases and finance leases and implies the recognition of an asset for the right of use of the leased asset and a liability that represents the obligation to make future payments for the lease.

 

Additionally, on a separate basis, interest expenses on the lease liabilities and depreciation charges for the right of use of the asset are recognized.

 

The Bank adopted IFRS 16 under the modified retrospective approach from January 1, 2019, as the date of initial application.

 

The effect of adoption of IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 was an increase of the Bank’s assets and liabilities for the following amounts:

 

Assets  
Right-of-use assets 401,037
Liabilities  
Finance lease payable 401,037

 

The weighted average of the incremental borrowing rate applied, at the transition date, to lease liabilities was 45.98% for leases in pesos and 4.63% for leases in US Dollars.

 

a)Nature of the effect of adoption of IFRS 16

 

Before the adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank classified its leases (as lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. The Bank has neither acted nor acts as a leese in agreements classified as finance lease. In an operating lease, the leased property was not capitalized and the lease payments were recognized as rent expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 39)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

Since the adoption of IFRS 16, the Bank has applied a single accounting model for the recognition and measurement of all its leases. Additionally, the Bank applied the following practical expedients established by the standard:

 

·   Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

 

·   Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months at the date of initial application.

 

·   Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

 

b)New accounting policies

 

Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Bank upon adoption of IFRS 16, which have been applied from the date of initial application:

 

·    Right-of-use assets

 

The Bank recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

 

·    Lease liabilities

 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Bank recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Bank and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Bank exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

 

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Bank uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

 

c)Amounts recognized in the statement of financial position and in the statement of income

 

As of September 30, 2019, the carrying amount of assets recognized for the right-of-use assets identified in the lease contracts, depreciation expense for the period and the additions to right-of-use assets are disclosed in Exhibit F to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Additionally, the short term leases recognized as rent expense for the period amounted to 73,122.

 

On the other hand, the carrying amount of liabilities generated by lease contracts as of September 30, 2019, amounted to 940,715 and were recorded in the item “Other financial liabilities” (see additionally note 12). The accrued interests of such liabilities for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2019, amounted to 62,700 and are recognized in the Item “Other operating expenses” (see additionally note 21).

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatment”

 

This interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 “Income tax”. This interpretation addresses specifically the following:

 

·          whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately;

·          the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities;

·          how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates; and

·          how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.

 

This interpretation did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements since, currently, there are not material uncertainties over income tax treatments.

 

New pronouncements

 

Pursuant to Communiqué “A” 6114 of the BCRA, as new IFRS are approved and existing IFRS are amended or revoked and, once these changes are approved through the notices of approval issued by FACPCA, 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. In this case, the Bank shall adopt the following standards:

 

·Amendments to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: the IASB issued the Conceptual Framework in March 2018. The Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. The changes to the Conceptual Framework may affect the application of IFRS in situations where no standard applies to a particular transaction or event. This Conceptual Framework is applicable to fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2020. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact.

 

·IFRS 3 “Business Combination” – amendments in definition of a business: the amendments will help entities determine whether an acquisition made is a business or the purchase of a group of assets. The new amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits. This standard is applicable to fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2020. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” – amendments to definition of material: the new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information or both. These amendments replaced the threshold “could influence” with “could reasonably be expected to influence”. This implies that the materiality assessment will need to take into account how primary users could reasonably be expected to be influenced in making economic decisions. This standard is applicable to fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2020. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated 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. Although these transactions are not recognized in the statement of financial position, since they imply a possible liability for the Bank, they expose the Bank to credit risks other than those recognized in statement of financial position and they are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank maintains the following contingent transactions:

 

   09/30/2019   12/31/2018 
Undrawn commitments of credit cards and checking accounts   92,501,723    95,020,861 
Overdraft and unused agreed commitments (*)   2,472,081    634,288 
Guarantees granted (*)   706,074    940,990 
Letters of credit   312,141    256,788 
    95,992,019    96,852,927

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

(*) Includes transactions not covered by BCRA debtor classification standards of financial sector. For overdraft and unused agreed commitments, it includes an amount of 710,153 and 221,220, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For Guarantees granted it includes the amount of 185,942 and 166,650, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Risks related to the contingent transactions described above have been evaluated and are controlled within the framework of the Bank’s credit risk policy described in note 39 to consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, already issued.

 

5.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 an 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.

 

Notwithstanding the above, 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 regards to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available at each reporting period.

 

-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 which 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Description of 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 government and private securities, there are two principal markets in which the Bank operates: BYMA and MAE. Additionally, in the case of derivatives, both MAE and Mercado a Término de Rosario SA (ROFEX) are deemed active markets.

 

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

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

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. In order to determine the market value of these instruments, the Bank used valuation techniques based on its own assumptions. For this approach, the Bank mainly used the cash flow discount model.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank has neither changed the techniques nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

 

Below there is the reconciliation between the amounts at the beginning and at the end of the period or fiscal year, as applicable, of the financial instruments recognized at fair value, using the valuation technique based on the Bank’s own assumptions, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Instruments measured as level 3 include mainly Equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss and debt securities, for which the construction of fair values was obtained based on the Bank’s own assumptions that are not easily available in the market.

 

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.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank has not recognized any transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial assets and liabilities not recognized 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-rate 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 prices reported by certain renowned suppliers of prices, the fair value was determined based on such prices.

 

The following table shows a comparison between the fair value and the carrying amount of financial instruments not measured at fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

9.MODIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

 

As explained in note 37, on August 28, 2019, the Federal Executive Power, through the Emergency Decree No. 596/2019 (DNU, for its acronym in Spanish) set, for certain government securities in the short-term, an immediate and stepped extension of their maturities, with no effects on the denomination currency, principal and the agreed-upon interest rate. This DNU, established the following schedule related to how these obligations will be canceled: (i) at the original maturity day, 15% of the debt amount will be cancelled at the respective date, (ii) 90 days after the payments described in (i), 25% of the debt amount will be cancelled, plus accrued interest over the carrying amount (net of the payments made according to section (i)); and (iii) the remaining debt amount will be cancelled 180 days later than the payments described in (i). For LECAPS with maturity date from January 1, 2020, the remaining debt amount, after the payments described in section (i), will be fully cancelled at 90 days after such payments.

 

As the Bank had in its portfolio government securities which contractual cash flows were modified as explained above under business model amortized cost, the Bank recalculated, at the modification date, the gross carrying amount of those financial assets as the present value of the modified contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective rate.

 

At the modification date, the gross carrying amount of the modified financial assets amounted to 8,525,679. As a consequence, the new gross carrying amount amounted to 5,960,119 and generated a modification loss for 2,565,560 included in “other operating expenses” (see additionally note 21). As of September 30, 2019 the gross carrying amount of these financial assets amounted to 6,020,988.

 

10.NONCURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – PRISMA MEDIOS DE PAGO SA

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Bank maintained recorded its investment in Prisma Medios de Pago SA (“Prisma”), under noncurrent assets held for sale, due to the obligation to transfer all its shares within the scope of the Divestment obligation undertaken with the Argentine Antitrust Commission. Therefore, the investment was valued according to IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, at the lowest of its carrying amount and the best estimation of the fair value less costs until its sale. As of December 31, 2018 the investment amount, included in this item, amounted to 105,287.

 

On January 21, 2019, the Bank, together with the other shareholders, accepted a purchase offer made by AI ZENITH (Netherlands) B.V. (a company related to Advent International Corporation) for the acquisition of 1,933,051 common shares of par value Ps.1 each and entitled to one vote, representing 4.6775 % of its share capital, equivalent to 51% of the Bank’s capital stock in such company.

 

On February 1, 2019, the Bank completed the transfer of such shares for a total purchase price of (in thousands) USD 64,542 out of which the Bank received on the date hereof (in thousands) USD 38,311 and the payment of the balance for an amount of (in thousands) USD 26,231 shall be deferred during the next 5 years as follows: (i) 30% of such amount in Pesos adjusted by UVA at a 15% nominal annual rate; and (ii) 70% in US Dollars at a 10% nominal annual rate. The purchase price is guaranteed by the issuance of notes in favor of the Bank and pledges of the transferred shares.

 

During July 2019, the process to determine the final selling price of the shares of Prisma Medios de Pago SA was completed and the final price was (in thousands) USD 63,456. The difference arising from a final price lower than the estimated price was deducted from the price balance, and therefore there was no need for the Bank to return any amounts received. All other payment conditions were not modified and remain in full force and effect under the terms described in this note.

 

Profits generated by the sale were recorded in the item “Other operating income” (see note 18). The amounts receivable, in pesos and US dollars, are recorded in the item “Other financial assets” and for such amounts an allowance was recorded, according to BCRA rules (see note 7).

 

The remaining of the Bank holding in Prisma Medios de Pago SA (equivalent to 49%), is recorded in “Equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss” determined from valuations performed by independent experts and taking into account parameters established by BCRA on this subject.

In addition, sellers retained the usufruct (dividends) of the shares sold to be reported by Prisma for the year ended December 31, 2018, which were collected on April 26, 2019. Besides, the proportion applicable to the buyer of the dividends to be reported for the following fiscal years –with the buyer’s commitment to voting in favor of the distribution of certain minimum percentages– will be used to create a guarantee trust to repay the deferred price amount through the concession by the buyer and Prisma of a usufruct over the economic rights of the shares in favor of such trust.

14.DISCLOSURES BY OPERATING SEGMENT

 

For management purposes the Bank’s Management has determined that it has only one operating segment related to the banking business. In this sense, the Bank supervises the operating segment income (loss) for the period 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.

15.INCOME TAX

 

a)Inflation adjustment on income tax

 

Tax Reform Act 27430, amended by Act 27468, established the following, regarding to 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 IPC will be higher than 100% for the thirty-six months before the end of the tax period;

 

ii)Regarding to 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 year of application, respectively; and

 

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, must be calculated if the assumptions mentioned in items (a) and (b) are verified and 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 immediate fiscal years.

 

At the closing date of an intermediate period, the Bank shall assess whether at the closing date of the fiscal year the conditions established by the income tax Act to practice the inflation adjustment are met. The available information at the issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements related to changes of the CPI, confirmed that such conditions are met. As a consequence, the current and deferred income tax was recognized for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, including the effects of the application of the inflation adjustment on income taxes established by Law.

 

In addition, in October 2019, Banco Macro SA filed to the Federal Public Revenue Agency (AFIP, for its acronym in Spanish) recovery actions based on section 81 of Law 11683, for the higher tax paid for fiscal years 2013 to 2018. These actions are based on related case Law which established the unconstitutionality of the standards that banned the inflation adjustment on income tax with confiscatory effects.

 

As a result of the assessment made by the legal and tax advisors and based on related case law, the Bank considers that is probable to obtain a final probable resolution. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, AFIP has not issued a resolution regarding the actions filed.

 

b)The main items of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

22.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:

27.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:

 

27.1.Financial trusts for investment purposes

 

Debt securities include mainly prepayments towards the placement price of provisional trust securities of the financial trusts under public and private offerings (Consubond, Garbarino, Accicom, Secubono, Carfacil Agrocap and Red Surcos). The assets managed for 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 all 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.

 

In addition, the Bank’s portfolio is completed with financial trusts for investment purposes, trust securities of definitive financial trusts in public and private offering (Consubond, Garbarino, Chubut Regalías Hidrocarburíferas, Secubono, Megabono and Credicuotas Consumos) and certificates of participation (Saenz Créditos, Gas Tucumán and Arfintech).

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts for investment purposes total 1,370,747 and 1,383,743, 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.

 

27.2.Trusts 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 for which 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 9,154 and 69,842, respectively.

 

27.3.    Trusts guaranteeing loans granted by the Bank

 

As it is common in the Argentine banking market, the Bank requires, in some cases, that the debtors present certain assets or entitlements to receive assets in a trust as a guarantee for the loans granted. This way, the risk of losses is minimized and access to the security is guaranteed in case of the debtor's noncompliance.

 

Trusts usually act as conduits to collect cash from the debtor’s flow of operations and send it to the Bank for the payment of the debtor’s loans and thus ensure compliance with the obligations assumed by the trustor and guaranteed through the trust.

 

Additionally, other guarantee trusts manage specific assets, mainly real property.

 

Provided there is no noncompliance or delays by debtor in the obligations assumed with the beneficiary, the trustee shall not execute the guarantee and all excess amounts as to the value of the obligations are reimbursed by the trustee to the debtor.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the assets managed by the Bank amounted to 1,059,435 and 269,507, respectively.

27.4.Trusts 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.

33.TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

33.1.Tax claims

 

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

 

a)AFIP’s challenges against the income tax returns filed by former Banco Bansud SA (for the fiscal years since June 30, 1995, through June 30, 1999, and of the irregular six-month period ended December 31, 1999) and by former Banco Macro SA (for the fiscal years ended since December 31, 1998, through December 31, 2000).

 

The matter under discussion that has not been resolved as yet and on which the regulatory agency bases its position is the impossibility of deducting credits that have collateral security, an issue that has been addressed by the Federal Administrative Tax Court and CSJN in similar cases, which have issued resolutions that are favorable to the Bank’s position.

 

b)Ex-officio turnover tax assessments in progress and/or adjustments pending resolution by the tax authorities of certain jurisdictions.

 

c)Pursuant to section 2, Presidential Decree No. 814/01, the Bank began applying the 17% rate instead of the 21% rate to settle payroll taxes as from November 2012. According to such presidential decree, the contributions made by private sector employers and by those governed by section 1, Law No. 22,016, would be taxable at a single and reduced 16% rate (subsequently, 17%).

 

The Bank was included in the scope of the abovementioned presidential decree merely due to the state’s interest governed by General Business Associations Law No. 19,550 and based on the clarifications included subsequently in Tax Reform Law No. 27,430. The Argentine Government has an interest on the Bank through the ANSES-FGS (Sustainability Guarantee Fund), as a result of the nationalization of funds from AFJPs (private pension fund managers) in 2008. As of September 30, 2019, such interest represents 27.49% of the capital stock of Banco Macro S.A. and, by exercising its voting rights, it managed to appoint the members of the Board of Directors and the Statutory Audit Committee.

 

On February 20, 2018, the AFIP (Federal Public Revenue Agency) required Banco Macro to clarify the reasons for using such reduced rate. On March 14, 2018, the Bank provided a detailed explanation ratifying its position.

 

After different procedures and the submission of factual and legal grounds, as the Bank is allowed to do by law, the AFIP submitted the case file for consultation to the Ministry of Economy, which in turn submitted it to the Argentine Attorney General’s Office on April 3, 2019, to request its participation in its capacity as the superior authority of the body of Argentine Government’s attorneys and legal services for federal public administration, where the case file is lodged as of the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 39)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

Even though the Argentine Attorney General’s Office has issued no resolution in this regard as of the date of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Bank decided to join the installment-payment plan from November 2012 through March 2019, pursuant to AFIP General Resolution No. 4477/2019. The plan offered 60 installments, an interest rate that is significantly lower than current rates applicable to tax or social security obligations and a material fine reduction. This entailed an economic and financial benefit for the Bank because, in connection with the settlement of the abovementioned social security payables and even within the context of appeals against resolutions affecting its rights, it would have required the full payment of the periods challenged –potentially obtaining the reimbursement of the amounts paid– at a 6% annual nominal rate, in accordance with the legal framework then effective.

 

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

 

33.2.Other claims

 

In addition, before merging with and into the Bank, Banco Privado de Inversiones SA (BPI) had a pending class action styled “Adecua v. Banco Privado de Inversiones on ordinary proceedings”, File No. 19073/2007, pending with Commercial Court No. 3 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 5, whereby it was required to reimburse to its clients the life insurance amounts overcharged to amounts payable, as well as to reduce the amounts charged in this regard in the future; this legal proceeding was concluded upon the abovementioned merger because BPI complied in full with the terms of the court-approved agreement reached with Adecua before answering the complaint. However, in March 2013, when BPI had already been merged with and into the Bank, the trial court resolved to amend the terms of the agreement and ordered the reimbursement of amounts of money to a larger number of clients as compared to the number arising from the terms approved by the court in due time. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank as BPI’s surviving company. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeals, which abrogated both the trial court decision and the court-approved agreement, thus ordering the Bank to answer the complaint. This gave rise to the filing of an extraordinary appeal against such decision, as well as the subsequent filing of a complaint for the extraordinary appeal denied. It is currently pending with the Argentine Supreme Court.

 

Moreover, the Bank is also subject to three class actions initiated by consumers’ associations for the same purpose: a) Adecua v, Banco Macro on ordinary proceedings, File No. 20495/2007, pending with Commercial Court No.7 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 13; b) Damnificados Financieros Asociación Civil Para Su Defensa et al v, Banco Macro on summary proceedings, File No. 37729/2007, pending with Commercial Court No. 7 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 13; c) Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores v. Nuevo Banco Bisel on ordinary proceedings, File No. 44704/2008, pending with Commercial Court No. 26 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 52.

 

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

 

Furthermore, there is a case challenging the Bank for charging credit card users until December 2014 a commission for “purchase limit excess” that consisted of a percentage over the purchase limit excess amount. It is styled “User and Consumer Union et. al v. Banco Macro SA on summary proceedings” [Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores y otro c/ Banco Macro SA s/ Sumarísimo], file No. 31958/2010, pending with Commercial Court No. 1 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No 1. On 03/15/2019 a court order was passed against the Bank from a trial court that ordered the reimbursement for all the collected amounts plus VAR and interest. Although this court decision was appealed, the Entity understands that there is a low probability that a favorable ruling shall be obtained from the trial court, as the Entity became aware that the Court of Appeals approved related actions against other two banks. The terms are currently suspended, and a negotiation stage was opened.

 

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

34.RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS DISTRIBUTION

 

a)According to BCRA regulations, 20% of Banco Macro SA 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)Pursuant to Law No. 25,063, dividends to be distributed in cash or in kind in excess of taxable income accumulated at the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the payment or distribution date shall be subject to a 35% income tax withholding as a single and definitive payment. For this purpose, income to be considered in each year will result from adding dividends or earnings from other corporations not computed in the calculation of those earnings in the same tax period(s) to the earnings determined under application of Income Tax Law, and deducting the tax paid for the tax period(s) in which the earnings, or the related proportional amount, being distributed were generated. This withholding shall not be applicable to earnings distributions accrue in the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2018.

 

c)Through BCRA rules related to Earnings distribution of financial entities, 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, as established by the BCRA, the earnings distribution approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Bank could only be formalized once the Superintendence of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions assesses the potential effects of the application of IFRS according to Communiqué “A” 6430 (section 5.5 IFRS 9 “Impairment”) and the restatement of financial statements according to Communiqué “A” 6651.

 

Profits may only be distributed if the financial entity has positive results, after deducting, on a nonaccounting 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 of 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. Additionally, no profit distributions shall be made out of the profit originated as a result of the first-time application of the IFRS, which shall be recognized in a special reserve, which as of September 30, 2019 amounted to 3,475,669 and is recognized in unappropriated retained earnings.

 

d)Pursuant to CNV General Resolution No. 593, 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.

 

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

 

As financial institutions, Banco Macro SA and Banco del Tucumán SA are governed by the Financial Entities Law No. 21,526, as supplemented, and the regulations issued by the BCRA and are exposed to intrinsic risks related to the financial industry. Moreover, they adhere to the good banking practices laid out in BCRA Communiqué “A” 5201 (Financial Entities Corporate Governance Guidelines) as supplemented. Detailed explanations about the main aspects related to capital management and corporate governance transparency policy and risk management related to the Bank, are disclosed in note 39 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, already issued.

37.CHANGES IN THE ARGENTINE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL MARKETS

 

The international and local macroeconomic context generates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress as a result of the financial assets and foreign exchange market volatility and, additionally certain political events and the level of economic growth, among other issues.

 

Particularly at a local level, as a step prior to general elections held on October 27, 2019, on Sunday August 11, 2019, the PASO (open primary election) was held, with an adverse outcome for the official party. On Monday August 12, there was a very significant general decrease in the market values of Argentine government and private financial instruments, and the country-risk premium and the US dollar value increased significantly. During the week following the election, the Argentine Government adopted a series of economic measures to lessen the effects of volatility on population in general, while the benchmark interest rate remained at high levels according to the contraction monetary policy applied by the BCRA.

 

On August 28, 2019, the Federal Executive issued Presidential Decree No. 596/2019, which established payment obligations in relation to Argentine short-term public debt securities (Letes, Lecaps, Lelinks and Lecer), to be settled following a schedule. The effects and payment schedule are detailed in note 9.

 

Apart from the term extension in relation to the securities previously mentioned, the Federal Executive sent a bill to the Argentine Congress to incorporate into government securities under the Argentine legislation class action clauses to allow for an orderly reprofiling of maturity dates, similarly to the securities under foreign legislation. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, such bill was not approved by the Argentine Congress.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 39)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

Subsequently, on September 1, 2019, through Presidential Decree No. 609/2019 and BCRA Communiqué “A” 6770, certain restrictions were imposed on the foreign exchange market with different scopes and specifications for natural and artificial persons, including the acquisition of foreign currency for hoarding, transfers abroad and foreign trade transactions, among other matters.

 

Finally, on October 27, 2019, the general presidential election was held, resulting in the defeat of the official party; therefore, on December 10, 2019, the new Argentine president shall take office and replace the former president. With the definition of the election outcome, the BCRA issued Communiqué “A” 6815, which set new restrictions to the acquisition of foreign currency for hoarding, so as to preserve its reserves, as they had dropped significantly due to the retail demand during the weeks prior to the presidential election.

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, there is still a high volatility level in the abovementioned variables, while the Argentine peso-to-US dollar exchange rate as of November 7, 2019, amounted to ARS 59.5977-to-USD 1.

 

Therefore, the Bank’s Management permanently monitors any changes in the abovementioned situations in international and local markets, to determine the possible actions to adopt and to identify the possible impact on its financial situation that may need to be reflected in the future financial statements.

 

38.EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD

 

No other 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 for the period, not disclosed in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

39.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 with accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 37)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Macro SA (hereinafter, the “Bank”) is a business corporation (sociedad anónima) organized in the Republic of Argentina 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 banco del Tucumán SA, Macro Bank Limited (a company organized under the laws of Bahamas), Macro Securities SA, Macro Fiducia SA and Macro Fondos SGFCISA.

 

Macro Compañía Financiera SA was created in 1977 as a nonbanking financial institution. In May 1988, it received the authorization to operate as a commercial bank and it 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) since November 1994 and as from March 24, 2006, they are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Additionally, on October 15, 2015 they were authorized to be listed on the Mercado Abierto Electrónico SA (MAE).

 

Since 1994, Banco Macro SA’s market strategy was mainly focused on the regional areas outside the City of Buenos Aires. Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial and other banks.

 

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. In addition, during the fiscal year 2006, Banco Macro SA acquired control over Banco del Tucumán SA. Additionally, on May 21, 2019 the Bank acquired 100% of Argenpay SA (see note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements).

 

On November 8, 2019, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of these condensed separate interim financial statements.

 

2.OPERATIONS OF THE BANK

 

Note 2 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements includes a detailed description of the agreements that relate the Bank and its subsidiary Banco del Tucumán SA to the provincial and municipal governments.

 

In addition, as mentioned in note 2.4 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statement, the Bank acquired shares of Banco del Tucumán SA for an amount of 456,757. This transaction was registered by the acquisition method. The difference between the consideration paid and the application of the purchase price method gave rise to goodwill recognition for an amount of 210,927.

 

On the other hand, on October 17, 2018, the Board of Directors of Banco Macro SA, decided to initiate negotiations for the merger reorganization between Banco Macro SA and Banco del Tucuman SA.

 

On April 30 and July 19, 2019, the Shareholders' Meeting of Banco Macro SA and the Shareholders' Meeting Banco del Tucumán SA, respectively, decided, among other issues, to approve a preliminary merger agreement, the special consolidated financial statement of merger as of December 31, 2018, the exchange relationship of shares, the legal feasibility Report and the technical, economic and financial feasibility Report of the merger between Banco Macro SA and Banco del Tucumán SA.

 

On August 15, 2019, the Board of the BCRA through Resolution No. 179, authorized the merger of Banco del Tucuman SA by Banco Macro SA. On September 25, 2019, Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (CNV, for its acronym in Spanish), authorized the merger which was registered at the Public Registry of Commerce on September 30, 2019.

 

Through Communiqué “C” 84993, the Central Bank informed that according to the authorization gave in due time, on October 15, 2019 Banco Macro SA performed the merger with Banco del Tucumán SA. Additionally, since that date, the authorization of Banco del Tucumán SA to operate as a commercial bank was revoked and its buildings were incorporated to Banco Macro SA as brands.

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

 

On February 12, 2014 the BCRA, through Communiqué “A” 5541 established the general guidelines towards conversion to the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for preparing the financial statements of the entities under its supervision, for the annual fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018 as well as those of interim-periods.

 

Additionally, through Communiqués “A” 6114, the BCRA set specific guidelines within the scope of such convergence process, among which it defined (i) the transitory exception to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55) up to the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2020, considering BCRA Communiqué “A” 6778; and (ii) in order to calculate the effective interest rate of assets and liabilities so requiring it for the measurement thereof, pursuant to IFRS 9, up to December 31, 2019, the Bank may transitorily make a global estimate of the calculation of the effective interest rate on a group of financial assets or liabilities with similar characteristics which shall be applied such effective interest rate. If section 5.5 “Impairment”, mentioned in (i) above had applied, according to a global estimation performed by the Bank, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the shareholders’ equity would have increased by 1,476,601 and 202,257, respectively. The figures stated as of September 30, 2019 includes 1,476,799 generated by the allowance mentioned in note 10 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the conditions to apply inflation adjustments in the separate financial statement for the nine-month period ended on that date, as established by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economy” were met. However, for the reasons described in section “measuring unit” of this note, financial institutions, transitorily, cannot apply the abovementioned standard.

 

Note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements presents a detailed description of the basis for the presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements. The main accounting policies used and the relevant information of the subsidiaries as well as all that is explained therein shall apply to these condensed separate interim financial statements.

 

These condensed separate interim financial statements, were prepared in accordance with the framework set forth by the Central Bank as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, for which these condensed separate interim financial statements, are based on IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. In that sense, these condensed separate 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 separate financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Nevertheless, the present condensed separate interim financial statements do not include all the information or all the disclosures required for the annual separate financial statements prepared in accordance with the IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, these condensed separate interim Financial Statements must be read together with the annual separate financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, already issued.

 

Measuring unit

 

IFRS require that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment of that nature, IAS 29 establishes (i) certain qualitative indicators, not limited to, consisting of analyzing the general population behavior, prices, interest rates and wages with changes to a price index and the loss of purchasing power, and (ii) a quantitative indicator which is the most common in practice, consisting of a three-year cumulative inflation rate of 100% or above. Whilst in the recent years there was an important increase in the general level of prices, the three-year cumulative inflation had maintained in Argentina below 100%. However, due to miscellaneous macroeconomic factors the three-year inflation rate exceeds that figure, and, also the Argentine government goals and other available estimates indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 37)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

Consequently, the Argentine economy is currently considered hyperinflationary under IAS 29 and the Argentine financial entities that are required to apply the IFRSs adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 6114 and the functional currency of which is the Argentine peso should restate their financial statements. Such restatement should 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 will be used, as prepared and published on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish), which combines 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 indexes published by the INDEC until that date. For the months of November and December 2015, for which the INDEC did not publish the wholesale price index (WPI) variation, the CPI variation for the CABA is used.

 

Considering the abovementioned indexes, the inflation rate was 37.70% and 32.41% for the nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 47.64% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2018.

 

Notwithstanding the above, as established by BCRA Communiqué “A” 6651, considering in addition Communiqué “A” 6778, financial institutions shall start the inflation adjustment on its financial statements according to IAS 29, for the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2020.

 

The nonrecognition of changes in the general purchasing power under hyperinflationary conditions, may distort accounting information and, therefore, this situation should be taken into account in the interpretation of the Bank’s information on these condensed separate interim financial statements over financial position, the result of its operations and its cash flows.

 

Below there is a description of the main impacts if IAS 29 were to be applied:

 

(a)Financial Statements shall be restated considering the changes in the general purchasing power of the currency to ensure that they are stated in the current measuring unit at end of the reporting period.

 

(b)To sum up, the restating mechanism provided by IAS 29 is as follows:

 

(i)Monetary items (the ones that are already stated in terms of the current measuring unit) are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at 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, in some extend such effects. The net gain or loss on a monetary basis shall be included in profit or loss for the period.

 

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

 

(iii)Nonmonetary 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 measurement unit, the income or loss produced by holding these nonmonetary items.

 

(iv)Nonmonetary items carried at historical cost or at current cost at some earlier date before the reporting date, shall be restated by an index 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. Income or loss for the period related to depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets and other nonmonetary cost shall be determined over the new restated amounts.

 

(v)When an entity capitalizes borrowing cost in the nonmonetary assets, the part of the borrowing cost that compensates for the inflation during the same period will not be capitalized.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

(vi)The restatement of nonmonetary assets in terms of a current measurement unit at the end of the reporting period, without an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes generates a taxable temporary difference and a deferred income tax liability is recognized and the contra account is recognized as profit or loss for the period. When, beyond the restatement, there is a revaluation of nonmonetary assets, the deferred tax related to the restatement is recognized in profit or loss for the period and deferred tax related with the revaluation is recognized in other comprehensive income for the period.

 

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

 

(viii)At the beginning of the first period of application of the restatement of financial statements in constant currency, the components of equity, except for the retained earnings, are restated according IAS 29, and the retained earning amount is determinated as a difference, once the equity items were restated.

 

If the Bank, according to a global estimation, had applied IAS 29, the Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 would have increased by 12,562,072 and 29,366,178, respectively, including the effects for the application of section 5.5. “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 abovementioned. On the other hand, the comprehensive income for the nine-month period would have decreased by 15,583,888.

 

Subsidiaries

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Shares in profits and losses of subsidiaries and associates are recognized under “Income from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures” in the statement of income. Ownership interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries is accounted for under “Income for the period in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the participation method”, in the statement of other comprehensive income.

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. Although these transactions are not recognized in the statement of financial position, since they imply a possible liability for the Bank, they expose the Bank to credit risks other than those recognized in the statement of financial position and are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank maintains the following contingent transactions:

 

   09/30/2019   12/31/2018 
Undrawn commitments of credit cards and checking accounts   87,251,476    89,947,565 
Overdraft and unused agreed commitments (*)   2,472,081    634,288 
Guarantees granted (*)   706,074    940,990 
Letters of credit   312,141    256,788 
    90,741,772    91,779,631 

 

(*)   Includes transactions not covered by BCRA debtor classification standards. For overdraft and unused agreed commitments, it includes an amount of 710,153 and 221,220, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For guarantees granted it includes the amount of 185,942 and 166,650, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Risks related to the contingent transactions described above have been evaluated and are controlled within the framework of the Bank’s credit risk policy detail in note 39 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, already issued.

 

5.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

Note 5 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.

 

Notwithstanding the above, 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 regards to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available at each reporting period.

 

-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 which 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.

Instruments measured as level 3 include mainly equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss and debt securities, for which the construction of fair values was obtained based on the Bank’s own assumptions that are not easily observable in the market.

 

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.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank has not recognized any transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

14.DISCLOSURES BY OPERATING SEGMENT

 

The Bank has an approach of its banking business that is described in note 14 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

15.INCOME TAX

 

a)Inflation adjustment on income tax

 

Tax Reform Act 27430, amended by Act 27468, established the following, regarding to 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 IPC will be higher than 100% for the thirty-six months before the end of the tax period;

 

ii)Regarding to 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 year of application, respectively; and

 

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, must be calculated if the assumptions mentioned in items (a) and (b) are verified and 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 immediate fiscal years.

 

At the closing date of an intermediate period, the Bank shall assess whether, at the closing date of the fiscal year, the conditions established by the income tax Act to practice the inflation adjustment are met. The available information at the issuance of these condensed separate interim financial statements related to changes of the CPI, confirmed that such conditions are met. As a consequence, the current and deferred income tax was recognized for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, including the effects of the application of the inflation adjustment on income taxes established by Law.

 

In addition, in October 2019, Banco Macro SA filed to the Federal Public Revenue Agency (AFIP, for its acronym in Spanish) recovery actions based on section 81 of Law 11683, for the higher tax paid for fiscal years 2013 to 2018. These actions are based on related case Law which established the unconstitutionality of the standards that banned the inflation adjustment on income tax with confiscatory effects.

 

As a result of the assessment made by the legal and tax advisors and based on related case law, the Bank considers that is probable to obtain a final probable resolution. As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim financial statements, AFIP has not issued a resolution regarding the actions filed.

22.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 Balance Sheet:

 

   09/30/2019   12/31/2018   09/30/2018   12/31/2017

REVIEW REPORT ON CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

To the Directors of

BANCO MACRO S.A.

CUIT (Argentine tax identification number): 30-50001008-4

Registered office: Avenida Eduardo Madero 1182

Buenos Aires City

 

I.Report on the financial statements

 

Introduction

 

1.We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries (“the Bank”), which comprise: (a) the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2019, (b) the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended at September 30, 2019, and the changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and (c) explanatory notes and other supplementary information.

 

Responsibility of the Bank’s Board of Directors and Management in connection with the financial statements

 

2.The Bank’s Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. in accordance with the accounting framework established by the Central Bank of Argentina (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in note 3. to the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1., is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in particular for the condensed interim financial statements on the International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as those standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE” for its Spanish acronym), only subject to the exceptions stated in (i) point 5.5. "Impairment" of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments", and (ii) International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, which were temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions. The Bank’s Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for the internal control they may deem necessary to allow the interim financial statements to be prepared free of material misstatements, whether due to errors or irregularities.

Auditor’s responsibility

 

3.Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. based on our review, which was performed in accordance with the standards established by FACPCE Technical Resolution No. 37 and with the “Minimum external auditing standards” issued by the BCRA, applicable to the review of interim financial statements, and in compliance with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the Bank’s annual financial statements. A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, mainly to the persons in charge of accounting and financial matters, as well as applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit of financial statements; therefore, we cannot obtain reasonable assurance that we will become aware of all the material issues that may arise in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

4.Based on our review, we have not become aware of anything that may lead us to believe that the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA mentioned in paragraph 2.

 

Emphasis on certain aspects disclosed in the financial statements and other issues

 

5.We would like to draw attention to the information contained in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1.:

 

(a)    Note 3. “Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards”, section “Applicable Accounting Standards”, in which the Bank quantifies the effect that the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” would have on the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1., which was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the accounting framework applicable to financial entities. This issue does not change the conclusion stated in paragraph 4., but it should be taken into account by the users of IFRS for interpreting the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1.

 

(b)    Note 3. “Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards”, section “Measuring unit”, which (a) explains that although as of September 30, 2019, the conditions mentioned in IAS 29 for the inflation adjustment of the financial statements into measuring unit current are met, BCRA Communiqué "A" 6651 does not allow such inflation adjustment temporarily; (b) describes the main impacts that would be derived from applying IAS 29, together with a quantification of certain global effects on the attached financial statements, and (c) warns that the nonrecognition of changes occurred in the general purchasing power may distort the accounting information and should be taken into account in the interpretation of the information included by the Bank in the accompanying financial statements over financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This issue does not modify the conclusion mentioned in paragraph 4., but we expressly state that although the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. were prepared pursuant to the accounting information framework established by the BCRA, the practices within this information framework concerning the measuring unit do not allow to make a presentation according to professional accounting standards.

 

   

 

3

 

6.As further explained in Note 39. to the consolidated financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1., certain accounting practices used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements conform with the accounting framework established by the BCRA but may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

 

Other matters

 

7.We also issued a separate report on the condensed separate interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. as of the same date and for the same period indicated in paragraph 1.

 

II.Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

 

8.In compliance with current legal requirements, we further report that:

 

(a)The financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1., as mentioned in note 3. thereto, are in process of being transcribed into the Books of Accounts of BANCO MACRO S.A. and, based on our review, we have not become aware of anything that may lead us to believe that these financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the applicable Argentine Business Associations Law provisions and Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”) regulations.

 

(b)The condensed separate interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. as of September 30, 2019, arise from the accounting books kept, in all formal respects, pursuant to current legal requirements.

 

(c)As of September 30, 2019, the liabilities accrued from employee and employer contributions to the Integrated Pension Fund System, as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 160,586,622, none of which was due and payable as of that date.
