(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

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

 

Macro Compañía Financiera SA was created in 1977, as a non-banking financial institution. In May 1988, it received the authorization to operate as a commercial bank and 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 have been 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 Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA, for its acronym in Spanish). Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial and other banks.

 

During 2020 and 2021, the Bank made contributions in the company Play Digital SA for a total amount of 253,557 (not restated). On September 28, 2021, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Play Digital SA accepted the last irrevocable capital contributions made on March 4 and May 12, 2021 in which the Bank subscribed 96,539,571 common, registered shares, with a face value of Ps. 1, amounting to 215,717,076 shares. As a consequence, after the last acceptance of capital contribution, the Bank’s interest in Play Digital SA amounted to 10.020% while before the mentioned acceptance amounted to 9.9545%. The company’s purpose is to develop and market a payment solution linked to bank accounts held by financial system users in order to bring significant improvement to their payment experience.

 

Additionally, on October 1, 2021, Banco Macro SA decided to exercise a call option to reach 24.99% of the equity interest in Fintech SGR. Consequently, the Bank has 49.9939% of the Class B shares belonging to protector partners. The amount paid on October 15 was 33,488. The purpose of this company is to enable small and medium-sized companies (PyMES, for its acronym in Spanish), to access to credit by posting guarantees.

 

In addition, on October 15, 2021 Banco Macro SA paid 50,850 in order to purchase share representing 50% of the capital stock and votes of Finova SA. The main purpose of this company is to develop and market the website www.facturbo.com.ar, a digital solution that allows customers to negotiate credit instruments issued and accepted by large companies in favor of small and medium-sized companies (MiPyMES, for its acronym in Spanish).

 

On November 24, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Presentation basis

Except for the exceptions established by the BCRA which are explained in the following paragraph, such framework is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish). The abovementioned international standards include the IFRS, the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or former IFRIC (SIC).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

The transitory exceptions and regulatory guidelines established by BCRA to the application of effective IFRS, that have affected the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

 

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

 

b)Additionally, the Bank received on March 12 and 22, 2021 and April 29, 2019 Memorandums from the BCRA, which established specifics guidelines related to the measurement of the Bank’s holding in Prisma Medios de Pago SA as explained in note 9. Considering such guidelines, the Bank adjusted the fair value previously determined. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Bank is in the process of quantifying the difference over such fair value and the fair value calculated according to IFRS, which could be material.

 

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Bank comply with the IFRS as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 7183. 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 as of September 30, 2021, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting Framework established by the BCRA as mentioned in the previous section “Applicable accounting standards” which, particularly for condensed consolidated interim financial statements, is based on IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Nevertheless, the present condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information or all the disclosures required for the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements must be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, already issued.

Going concern

 

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

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

Transcription into books

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the same are in the process of being transcribed into the Books of Accounts of Banco Macro SA.

 

Figures expressed in thousands of pesos

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements disclose figures expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos in terms of purchasing power as of September 30, 2021, and are rounded up to the nearest amount in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise expressly stated (see section “Measuring unit” of this note).

 

Comparative information

 

The condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2021, is presented comparatively with year-end data of the immediately preceding fiscal year, while the statement of income and the statement of other comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, 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, 2021, are presented comparatively with data as of the same periods of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

 

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

 

Additionally and in accordance with Communiqué “A” 7211 certain reclassifications were made (see also section “New standards adopted in the fiscal year” of this note).

 

Measuring unit

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency (Argentine pesos) of the Bank, as of September 30, 2021, as established by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and considering, in addition, specifics rules established by BCRA through Communiqués “A” 6651, 6849, as amendments, which established to apply this method, on a mandatory basis, from fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2020, included and determined as the transition date on December 31, 2018.

 

According to IFRS, the restatement of financial statements is needed when the functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment of that nature, IAS 29 establishes (i) certain 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) as quantitative characteristic, which is the most used condition in practice, to test if a three-year cumulative inflation rate is around 100% or more. Due to miscellaneous macroeconomic factors, the three-year inflation rate exceeds that figures and the Argentine government goals and other available estimates also indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term.

 

The restatement was 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 were used, as prepared and published on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils on 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 CABA was used.

 

Considering the abovementioned indexes, the inflation rate was 36.96% and 22.29% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 36.14% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

Below is a description of the restating mechanism provided by IAS 29 and the restatement process for financial statements established by BCRA Communiqué “A” 6849, as supplementary:

 

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

 

(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 is included in profit or loss of the period.

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)Non-monetary items carried at historical cost or at current cost at some earlier date before the reporting date, are restated 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 of the period related to depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of Intangible Assets and other non-monetary cost are determined over the new restated amounts.

 

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

 

(vi)The restatement of non-monetary 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 of the period. When, beyond the restatement, there is a revaluation of non-monetary assets, the deferred tax related to the restatement is recognized in profit or loss of the period and deferred tax related to the revaluation is recognized in other comprehensive income of the period.

 

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

 

(i)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 which the consumption was recorded, which is restated using as a basis the acquisition date of the assets related to the item, 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.

 

(ii)The gain or loss from monetary position will be classified based on the item that generated it and will be separately disclosed reflecting the inflationary effects over such items.

 

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

 

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

 

(a)The components of equity, except the ones mentioned below, were restated from the dates the components were contributed or otherwise arose according to BCRA Communiqué “A” 6849, for each item.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

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

 

(c)The unappropriated retained earnings were determinated as a difference between the restated net asset at the transition date and the other components of equity, restated as disclosed in the abovementioned paragraphs.

 

(d)The accumulated balances of other comprehensive income were recalculated in terms of measuring unit current at the transition date.

 

(ii)After the transition date restatement abovementioned in (i), all equity’s components are restated by applying a general price index as mentioned before from the beginning of the period and each variation of those components is restated from the contribution date or from the moment it was produced by any other way, and the accumulated OCI balances are redetermined according to the items that generated.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)The monetary gain or losses generated by cash and cash equivalents are separately disclosed in the statement of cash flows after the cash flow from operating investment activities and financing activities, in a separate and independent line, under the description “Monetary effect on cash and cash equivalent”.

 

Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

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

 

The Bank applies the same accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions described in note 3 section “accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions” to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, already issued.

 

New standards adopted in the fiscal year

 

For the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2021 the following amendment to accounting framework of the BCRA is effective:

 

Disclosures of the monetary effect from the application of the procedure for restating the financial statements (Communiqué “A” 7211):

 

As from this year, the Bank started recording in profit or loss of the period the monetary effect accrued from the monetary items measured at fair value through OCI. As a consequence, at the beginning of this fiscal year, the related unappropriated retained earnings were adjusted as a prior period earning adjustment (AREA, for its acronym in Spanish) in order to include the monetary effect of the abovementioned assets that would have been recorded in OCI as of such date.

 

Below are the amounts adjusted in the statement of income and other comprehensive income and in the statement of changes in the shareholders’ equity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, as a consequence of aforementioned procedure:

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.

 

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

 

a)Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual: the amendments are intended to replace a reference to a previous version of the IASB’s Conceptual Framework with a reference to the current version issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements. The amendments add an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” or IFRIC 21 “Levies”, if incurred separately. The exception requires entities to apply the criteria in IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to determine whether a present obligation exists at the acquisition date. At the same time, the amendments add a new paragraph to IFRS 3 to clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2022. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

b)Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E): proceeds before Intended Use. The amendment prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E, any proceeds of the sale of items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2022. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

c)Amendments to IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract: the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendments apply a ‘directly related cost approach’. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract. The impact of these amendments on Entities that previously applied the incremental cost approach, is that they will see provisions increase to reflect the inclusion of costs related directly to contract activities, whilst entities that previously recognized contract loss provisions using the guidance from the former standard, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, will be required to exclude the allocation of indirect overheads from their provisions. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2022. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

d)Annual improvement cycle (2018-2020): the following is a summary of the amendments from the 2018-2020 annual improvements cycle:

 

·IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting – Subsidiary as a first-time adopter: the amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS. This amendment is also applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2022.

 

·IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Fees in the ’10 per cent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities: the amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of them original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2022.

 

·IFRS 16 “Leases” Illustrative examples - Lease incentives: the amendment removes the Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements. This removes potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives when applying IFRS 16.

 

The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

e)Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosures to accounting policies: the amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policies and examples of when an accounting policy likely. Therefore, a guidance with explanations and examples denominated “four-step materiality process” was developed. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2023. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

f)Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and Errors” – Definition of Accounting Estimates: the amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The amended standard clarifies that the effects on an accounting estimate of a change in an input or a change in a measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors. The previous definition of a change in accounting estimate specified that changes in accounting estimates may result from new information or new developments. Therefore, such changes are not corrections of errors. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2023. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

g)Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Tax” – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction: the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments clarify that where payments that settle a liability are deductible for tax purposes, it is a matter of professional judgement (having considered the applicable tax law) whether such deductions are attributable for tax purposes to the liability recognized in the financial statements (and interest expense) or to the related asset component (and interest expense). Professional judgement is important in determining whether any temporary differences exist on initial recognition of the asset and liability. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2023. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank maintains the following maximum exposures to credit risk related to this type of transactions:

 

Composition  09/30/2021   12/31/2020

Subtotal   149,268,051    134,095,966 
Less: Allowance for expected credit losses (ECL)   (279,950)   (23,566)
Total   148,988,101    134,072,400 

 

(1)Includes transactions not covered by BCRA debtor classification standard. For Guarantee granted, it includes an amount of 29,208 and 221,693 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. For Overdraft and unused agreed commitments, it includes an amount of 898,449 and 111,789 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 41 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, already issued.

 

5.DEBT SECURITIES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

 

The composition of debt securities at fair value through profit or loss as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

 

Composition  09/30/2021   12/31/2020

The composition of the other financial assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

 

Composition  09/30/2021   12/31/2020 
Sundry debtors (see note 9)   9,192,534    10,122,149 
Receivables from spot sales of foreign currency pending settlement   6,912,522    11,559,730 
Receivables from other spot sales pending settlement   2,617,489    2,358,532

Less: Allowances for ECL   (25,396)   (25,922)
Total   21,429,022    25,866,273 

 

Disclosures related to allowance for ECL are detailed in note 7 “Loss allowance for credit losses on credit exposures not measured at fair value through profit or loss”, section 7.4.

 

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

 

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

 

Note 10 discloses financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and financial assets not recognized at fair value. This classification is made pursuant to the expressed in note 3 “Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards” for the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, already issued. Additionally, note 10 explains the information related to the valuation process.

 

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

7.2Other debt securities at amortized cost

 

For corporate bonds bought, PD and LGD parameters calculated for loan exposures of those issuers were used. The corporate bonds’ EAD is considered equal to the debt balance.

 

For financial trusts at amortized cost, the criteria that was used in the calculation of ECL is based on credit risk ratings given by a credit rating agency for each types of debt securities that compose each financial trust. That is, the factor to be used will vary in relation to the holding debt securities (A or B). It is assumed that the EAD is equal to the debt balance.

(1)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 for 5 years as follows: (i) 30% of such amount in Pesos adjusted by Unit of Purchasing Power (UVA, for its acronym in Spanish) 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 (Prisma) 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, 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.

 

The amounts receivable, in pesos and US dollars, are recorded in the item “Other financial assets”.

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

The remaining holding of the Bank in Prisma (equivalent to 49%), is recorded in “Equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss” determined from valuations performed by independent experts, which was adjusted in less, according to Memorandums issued by the BCRA. As of September 30, 2021 the valuation was adjusted by Memorandums dated March 12 and 22, 2021 while, as of December 31, 2020, as required by a Memorandum dated April 29, 2019.

 

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, and have the possibility to execute a put for the non-sold shares of this transaction (49%) and the buyer has the obligation to buy them, on an specific term established on the agreement, according to specifics clauses. 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.

 

On February 22, 2021 the Bank collected cash dividends for an amount of 541,144 which 275,065 were applied to decrease the receivable generated by the financing granted to AI ZENITH (Netherlands) BV, for the purchase of Prisma´s shares. In addition, on May 28, 2021, the Bank collected cash dividends for an amount of 340,940 which 171,327 were applied to decrease the receivable generated by the financing abovementioned.

 

On October 1st, 2021, the Bank together with the other Shareholders of Prisma, sent the relevant exercise notice for their option to sell the 49% of the capital stock and votes of Prisma to AI ZENITH (Netherlandas) BV that they still hold. The price of such shares shall be determined pursuant to the calculation proceeding contractually agreed the parties shall agree upon which, as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, it is not completed.

 

10.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

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

 

When a financial instrument is quoted in a liquid and active market, its price in the market in a real transaction provides the most reliable evidence of its fair value. Nevertheless, when there is no quoted price in the market or it cannot be 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.

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

-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, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank has neither changed the techniques nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank has not recognized any transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

 

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

 

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

18.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.

 

19.INCOME TAX

 

a)Inflation adjustment on income tax

 

Tax Reform Law 27430, amended by Laws 27468 and 27541, 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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all the conditions established by the income tax Law to practice the inflation adjustment are met and the current and deferred income tax was recognized, including the effects of the application of the inflation adjustment on income taxes established by Law (see the last paragraphs of this note).

 

b)Income tax rate

 

The Law No. 27541 suspended, up to fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2021 included, the income tax rate reduction that had established the Law 27430, setting up for the suspended period a rate of 30%. On June 16, 2021, through Decree 387/2021, the Law 27630 was issued. This law established for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2021 included, a progressive tax rates scheme of 25%, 30% and 35% which will be applied, on a progressively basis, to the taxable accumulated net profit at the end of each the fiscal year.

(1)  See the following paragraph.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

26.ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES IN THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

 

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

 

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:

Note 27 provides a breakdown of the changes in the Bank’s capital stock.

31.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:

 

31.1.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 (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 (Secubono, Accicom and Confibono) and certificates of participation (Arfintech).

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts for investment purposes, total 347,621 and 779,237, 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.

 

31.2.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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 9,604 and 9,095, respectively.

 

31.3.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 non-compliance.

 

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 non-compliance 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.

37.TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

37.1.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 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.

 

37.2.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 CABA, Clerk’s Office No. 5, whereby it was required to reimburse to its clients the life insurance amounts overcharged to amounts payable as well as to reduce the amounts charged in this regard in the future; this legal proceeding was concluded upon the abovementioned merger because BPI complied in full with the terms of the court-approved agreement reached with Adecua before answering the complaint. However, in March 2013, when BPI had already been merged with and into the Bank, the trial court resolved to amend the terms of the agreement and ordered the reimbursement of amounts of money to a larger number of clients as compared to the number arising from the terms approved by the court in due time. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank as BPI’s surviving company. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeals, which abrogated both the trial court decision and the court-approved agreement, thus ordering the Bank to answer the complaint. This gave rise to the filing of an extraordinary appeal against such decision as well as the subsequent filing of a complaint for the extraordinary appeal denied. On May 5, 2021, the Bank was notified of the dismissal of the complaint appeal, ordering the return of the main process to the CNACAF for continuing with the proceedings.

 

Moreover, the Bank is also subject to three class actions initiated by consumers’ associations for the same purpose, all of them currently pending with Commercial Court No. 7 in and for the CABA, Clerk’s Office No. 13: a) Adecua v, Banco Macro on ordinary proceedings, File No. 20495/2007; b) Damnificados Financieros Asociación Civil Para Su Defensa et al v, Banco Macro on summary proceedings, File No. 37729/2007; c) Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores v. Nuevo Banco Bisel on ordinary proceedings, File No. 44704/2008. Regarding the actions mentioned in a) and b), on February 1, 2021, an agreement was reached and filed for court-approval effects. On such agreement, the Bank assumed to reimburse to its clients and former clients under the agreement, the 75% (seventy five percent) of the difference between the premium collected for life insurance over the debt balance of several products, and the amount that results for applying 2.45 per thousand on the assured amounts for the period between May 2, 2004, and July 31, 2011, both included, plus interest at the current rate of Banco de la Nación Argentina until the final approval of the agreement. On March 16, 2021, the agreement was approved by the Court. On April 8, 2021, the Bank completed the first stage of the approved agreement, while the rest of it will be fulfilled between May and November 2021. During the last month, the remaining funds were transferred into a judicial account and the Bank’s obligations, generated on this agreement, were totally fulfilled.

 

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

Furthermore, in other case the Bank was challenged 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 was 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 CABA, 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 VAT 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 of that the Court of Appeals approved related actions against other two banks, an agreement was reached and filed for court-approval effects on 11/03/2020. On such agreement, the Bank compromised to reimburse to credit card users for the period from August 2007 to December 2014, the amounts collected over the abovementioned concepts plus VAT over such commissions and interest calculated at the average current rate for Documents transactions in force at the Banco de la Nación Argentina. On August 26, 2020, the agreement was approved by the judge. On October 28, 2020, the first stage of the agreement was fulfilled while the second stage will be fulfilled in the next 12 months. During November 2021, the Bank will transfer the remaining funds into a judicial account and its obligations, generated on this agreement, will be totally fulfilled.

 

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.

 

38.RESTRICTION ON DIVIDENDS DISTRIBUTION

 

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

 

b)Through Communiqué “A” 6464, 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 BCRA Communiqué “A” 6886, 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”), the reduction of the lower loss allowances and a higher computable equity (RPC, for its acronym in Spanish) as a consequence of the application of Communiqué “A” 6946 section 2, as amended, for payroll financing to microenterprises and the restatement of financial statements according to Communiqué “A” 6651 in accordance with accounting standards established by Communiqué “A” 6847 and the guidelines to apply the restatement procedures established by Communiqué “A” 6849.

 

In addition, profits may only be distributed to the extent that the financial institution has positive results, after deducting, on a non-accounting basis, from retained earnings and the optional reserves for the future distribution of profits, (i) the amounts of the legal and other earnings reserves which are mandatory, (ii) all debit amounts of each one of the accounting items recognized in “Other Comprehensive Income”, (iii) income from 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 was created a special reserve, and its balance as of September 30, 2021 was 9,969,216 (nominal value: 3,475,669).

In addition, through Communiqué “A” 7312, the BCRA established the suspension of earning distribution of financial entities up to December 31, 2021.

In compliance with the abovementioned the General regular and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Banco Macro SA held on April 30, 2021 and taking into account that at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Bank had negative unappropriated retained earnings for 50,602,847 and personal property tax on business corporation for 311,944, decided to apply them as follows (figures stated in terms of purchasing power as of December 31, 2020):

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

 

During the second half of 2019, in a political context of federal general elections which gave rise to a change in the federal authorities, a significant volatile period began for the market values of government and private financial instrument and a process of rescheduling maturities and swaps of certain government debt instruments started. In addition, material increases were observed in the country risk and in the exchange rate between the Argentinian peso and US dollar.

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 43)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless otherwise expressly stated)

 

During 2020, among other regulations, relevant modifications to the tax regulation system were introduced, including changes in the income tax, withholdings related to foreign exchange transactions and for the acquisition of foreign currency for hoarding purposes, and were also established material restrictions to the exchange market access.

 

At the same time, the government’s debt restructuring process continued under domestic and foreign legislation which includes the undergoing negotiation with the International Monetary Funds.

 

Particularly, regarding to the price of Us dollar, since the end of 2019, the gap between the official price of the US dollar -used mainly for foreign trade- and the alternative values that arise through the stock market operation and also with respect to the unofficial value, began to widen around 100% as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Although, at the end of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements certain volatility levels abovementioned have been decreased, the local and international macroeconomic context generates certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress, and also considering the effect mentioned in note 41, mainly related to the level of the global economic recovery.

 

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.

 

41.EFFECTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) OUTBREAK

 

In early March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized Coronavirus (Covid-19) as a pandemic. This emergency situation over public health was worldwide expanded and several countries have taken different measures to contain the effects. This situation and the measures adopted have materially affected the international economy activity with different impacts on several countries and business lines.

 

Particularly in the Argentine Republic, on March 19, 2020, through Decree No. 297/2020, the Government established the "social, preventive and compulsory isolation".

 

Along with health protection rules, tax and financial measures were taken to mitigate the impact on the economy associated with the pandemic, including public direct financial assistance measures for part of the population, the establishment of financial and fiscal facilities for both individuals and companies. As regards measures related to the financial institutions, the BCRA established maturities extensions, froze the mortgage loan installments and encouraged banks to lend to companies at reduced rates. In addition, as explained in note 28, the distribution of dividends of the finance institutions was suspended until December 31, 2021.

 

The Bank is developing its activities under the conditions detailed above, giving priority to the compliance of social distancing measures by its employees, with the primary objective of taking care of the public health and well-being of all its stakeholders (employees, suppliers, customers, among others). To this end, it has put in place contingency procedures and has enabled its staff to carry out their tasks remotely.

 

From a commercial point of view, it has emphasized maintaining a close relationship with its customers, trying to respond to their needs at this difficult time, sustaining all virtual channels of care to ensure operability and a good response to requirements, monitoring compliance with their business obligations and monitoring the active portfolio in order to detect possible delays in collection and set new conditions for them.

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, certain health control measures continue to be effective. However, social, commercial and professional activities started to be performed with less restrictions, but subject to controls and protocols and with limited capacity of people, while restrictions in public transport were eliminated.

 

Considering the size of the abovementioned situation, the Bank's Management estimates that this situation could have an impact on its operations and the financial situation and the profit or loss of the Bank, which are under analysis, and will ultimately depend on the extent and duration of the health emergency and the success of the measures taken and taken in the future.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 40)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless expressly stated)

 

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 Macro Bank Limited (a company organized under the laws of Bahamas), Macro Securities SA, Macro Fiducia SA, Macro Fondos SGFCISA and Argenpay SAU.

 

Macro Compañía Financiera SA was created in 1977 as a non-banking financial institution. In May 1988, it received the authorization to operate as a commercial bank and 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 Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA, for its acronym in Spanish). Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial 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, the Bank acquired control over Banco del Tucumán SA, which was merged with Banco Macro SA in October 2019.

 

During 2020 and 2021 the Bank made irrevocable capital contributions in the company Play Digital SA for a total amount of 253,557 (not restated), subscribing 215,717,076 common, registered shares, with a face value of Ps. 1. See note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

In addition, on October 1, 2021 the bank decided to exercise a call option to reach 24.99% of the equity interest in Fintech SGR. Additionally, on October 15, 2021, the bank paid 50,850 in order to purchase share representing 50% of the capital stock and votes of Finova SA (see also note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements).

 

On November 24, 2021, 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 with the provincial and municipalities governments.

 

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

 

Applicable Accounting Standards

 

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

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 40)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless expressly stated)

 

The transitory exceptions and regulatory guidelines established by BCRA to the application of effective IFRS, that have affected the preparation of these condensed separate interim financial statements are as follows:

 

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

 

b)Additionally, the Bank received on March 12 and 22, 2021 and April 29, 2019 Memorandums from the BCRA, which established specifics guidelines related to the measurement of the Bank’s holding in Prisma Medios de Pago SA as explained in note 7. Considering such guidelines, the Bank adjusted the fair value previously determined. As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim financial statements, the Bank is in the process of quantifying the difference over such fair value and the fair value calculated according to IFRS, which could be material.

 

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Bank comply with the IFRS as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the BCRA through Communiqué “A” 7183. Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements presents further detailed descriptions of the basis for the presentation of such financial statements and the main accounting policies used and the relevant information of the subsidiaries. All that is explained therein shall apply to these condensed separate interim financial statements.

 

Going concern

 

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

 

Subsidiaries

 

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

 

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

 

As provided under IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, investments in subsidiaries were accounted for using the “equity method”, established in IAS 28 “Investment in associates and joint ventures”. When using this method, investments are initially recognized at cost, and such amount increases or decreases to recognize investor’s interest in 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 / (loss) from associates and joint ventures” in the statement of income. Ownership interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries is accounted for under “Income / (loss) of 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.

 

Transcription into books

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim financial statements, the same are in the process of being transcribed into the Books of Accounts of Banco Macro SA.

 

New standards adopted

 

New standards adopted are described in note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

New pronouncements

 

New pronouncements are described in note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

In order to meet specific financial needs of customers, the Bank’s credit policy also includes, among others, the granting of guarantees, securities, bonds, letters of credit and documentary credits. The Bank is also exposed to overdrafts and unused agreed credits on credit cards of the Bank. Since they imply a contingent obligation for the Bank, they expose the Bank to credit risks other than those recognized in statement of financial position and they are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank. These transactions are detailed in note 4 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

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 41 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, already issued.

8.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

Note 10 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements describes the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value, both of the financial instruments recognized at fair value as of those not accounted for at such fair value in these condensed separate interim financial statements. In addition, the Bank discloses the relevant information as to instruments included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

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

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

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

 

-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) observable in active markets that the Bank accesses to at the measurement day for identical assets or liabilities. The Bank considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 40)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2021, unless expressly stated)

 

As decided by the Board of Directors in the meeting dated May 11, 2020, considering certain case-law on the subject assessed by its legal and tax advisors, on May 26, 2020, the Bank filed with the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (AFIP, for its acronym in Spanish) its annual income tax return considering the total effect of the inflation adjustment on income tax (see section a) iv) of note 19 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements). As a result, the current income tax determined by Banco Macro SA for fiscal year 2019 amounted to 7,002,124 (not restated). The same criterion was applied to determine the annual income tax report for 2020, which generated an accrued income tax for the Bank for such fiscal year that amounted to 9,933,210 (not restated).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

24.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:
