(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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, electronic payments services and granting of guarantees.

 

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

 

The Bank’s shares 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 has mainly focused on the regional areas outside the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA, for its acronym in Spanish). Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial 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 July 21 and January 17, 2022, the Bank made irrevocable capital contributions for an amount of 245,539 and 130,758 (not restated), respectively. On October 7, 2022, the Bank sold 22,112,340 shares for an amount of 61,889. As a consequence, the Bank’s new interest in this company is 8.9927%. 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. The amount paid on October 15, 2021 was 33,488 (not restated). As it was explained in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, already issued, Fintech SGR is a structured entity in which the Bank has control. The purpose of this company is to enable small and medium-sized companies (PyMES, for its acronym in Spanish), to have access to credit by granting guarantees.

 

In addition, on October 1, 2021 Banco Macro SA paid 50,850 (not restated) in order to purchase shares 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). See also note 13.

 

On November 23, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

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

 

Presentation basis

 

Applicable Accounting Standards

 

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

 

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

 

 - 10 - 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

a)According to Communiqué “A” 6114, as supplemented, and in the convergence process through IFRS, the BCRA established that since fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” by BCRA rules, in which the Bank is included, begin to apply section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55), except for the temporary exclusion for the 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 abovementioned standard.

 

b)As of December 31, 2021 the Bank measured its holding in Prisma Medios de Pago SA (Prisma), according to the Memorandums received from the BCRA on March 12 and 22, 2021, which established specific guidelines related to the measurement of such holding. Taking into account such guidelines, the Bank adjusted its fair value previously determined (see note 10). In March 2022, the shares related to the abovementioned holding were transferred, recording the profit for this transaction in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. If, for the fair value measurement purpose before mentioned, IFRS had been applied, the profit or loss for the previous fiscal years and for the period ended September 30, 2022, should have been modified. However, this situation does not generate differences in the shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2022.

 

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” 7411. 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, 2022, have been prepared in accordance with the accounting Framework established by the BCRA as mentioned in the previous section “Applicable accounting standards” which, particularly for condensed consolidated interim financial statements, is based on IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

 

For the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in addition to section “measuring unit” of this note, the Bank has applied the basis for the preparation and consolidation, the accounting policies and the material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions described in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021, already issued.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all the necessary information for an appropriate understanding, by the users thereof, of the basis for the preparation and disclosure used therein as well as the relevant events and transactions occurred after the issuance of the last annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021, already issued. Nevertheless, the present condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information or all the disclosures required for the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements must be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, already issued.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank has consolidated into its financial statements the financial statements of the following companies:

Going concern

 

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

 

Transcription into books

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, they are in the process of being transcribed into the Bank’s balance book (“Libro Balances”) 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, 2022, and are rounded up to the nearest amount in thousands of pesos, except as otherwise indicated (see section “Measuring unit” of this note).

 

Comparative information

 

The condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, are presented comparatively with data as of the same periods of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

 

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

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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, 2022, as established by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and considering, in addition, specific rules established by BCRA through Communiqués “A” 6651, 6849, as amended, which established the obligation to apply this method, from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and determined as the transition date December 31, 2018.

 

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

 

The restatement 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 of Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish), which combines the consumer price index (CPI) on a monthly basis published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC, for its acronym in Spanish) since January 2017 (baseline month: December 2016) with the wholesale prices 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 66.07% and 36.96% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 50.94% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021.

 

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

 

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

 

(i)Monetary items (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 to some extent such effects. The net gain or loss on a monetary basis is included in profit or loss for the period.

 

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

 

(iii)Non-monetary items stated at current cost at the end of the reporting period, are not restated for presentation purposes in the statement of financial position, but the adjustment process must be completed to determine, in terms of constant 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 for the period related to depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of Intangible Assets and other non-monetary assets 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.

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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

 

(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 determined 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 restatement on the abovementioned transition date in (i) above, all equity 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 in any other way, and the accumulated OCI balances are redetermined according to the items that give rise to it.

 

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

 

(i)All items are restated in terms of the measuring unit current 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 equivalents”.

 

Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities – Changes in business model

 

During August 2022, the Bank’s Management decided to update the objective related to the investments in Federal government treasury bonds linked to dollar 0.30% maturing April 28, 2023 (TV23). These investments were reclassified from fair value through OCI to fair value through profit or loss. The change in the business model was performed taking into account, mainly, the changing expectations in connection with macroeconomic policies and the possible issuance of Federal government bonds in pesos with dual currency yield in its future biddings, with the objective to optimize the administration of the bonds portfolio, thus take advantage of the eventual opportunities in the primary/secondary market.

 

At the reclassification date abovementioned, the fair value of these investments amounted to 40,978,036.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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, 2021, already issued.

 

New standards adopted in the fiscal year

 

For the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022, the following amendment to IFRS are effective and they did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

 

Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework.

 

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 did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements since currently, the Bank has not performed business combination transactions with contingent assets and liabilities.

 

Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E): proceeds before Intended Use.

 

The amendment prohibits entities to deduct 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 under the conditions required 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 did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as the Bank does not have these type of items.

 

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 did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as the Bank does not have these type of contracts.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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 did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

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 the 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 did not have a material impact on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

New pronouncements

 

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

 

The new and amended standards and 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 become effective.

 

a)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.

 

b)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.

 

c)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 judgment (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 judgment 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.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

d)Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” – Sale and Leaseback: the amendment to IFRS 16 specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The amendment does not prescribe specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial measurement of the lease liability arising from a leaseback may result in a seller-lessee determining ‘lease payments’ that are different from the general definition of lease payments. The seller lessee will need to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in accordance with IAS 8. This amendment is applicable as of January 1, 2024. 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 the statement of financial position and, therefore, they are an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank maintains the following maximum exposures to credit risk related to this type of transactions:

 

Composition  09/30/2022   12/31/2021

Total   511,286,133    373,199,188 
           

(1)Includes transactions not covered by BCRA debtor classification standard. The Guarantees granted include an amount of 42,677 and 43,332 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Overdraft and unused agreed commitments include an amount of 371,998 and 159,778 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

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

 

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 43 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

 

Composition  09/30/2022   12/31/2021

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

 

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

 

Note 11 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, 2021, already issued. Additionally, note 11 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.

 

For the purpose of assessing the Bank’s credit risk exposure and identifying material credit risk concentration, disclosures regarding credit risk of financial assets and items not recognized in the statement of financial position are as follows:

 

8.1 Loans and other financing measured at amortized cost

 

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

8.2 Other debt securities at amortized cost

 

For purchased corporate bonds, 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 type of debt securities that compose each financial trust. That is, the factor to be used will vary in relation to the holding debt securities class (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.

 

On October 1, 2021, the Bank, together with the other class B Shareholders of Prisma, gave notice with respect to the exercise of the existing put option and therefore started the procedure to sell the remaining 49% of the capital stock of Prisma.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

As of December 31, 2021, the holding of the Bank in Prisma (equivalent to 49%), was 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 on March 12 and 22, 2021.

 

On March 18, 2022, the Bank completed the transfer of all remaining shares held in Prisma in favor of AI ZENITH (Netherlands) BV, representing 4.4941% of Prisma’s capital stock.

 

The price of such shares is (in thousand) USD 33,018 and shall be paid as follows: (i) 30% in Pesos at UVA plus a nominal annual rate of 15% that shall be paid 50% on March 18, 2027 and the remaining on March 18, 2028, and (ii) 70% in US Dollars at a nominal annual rate of 10% that shall be paid 50% on March 18, 2027 and the remaining on March 18, 2028. The profit generated for the sale of those shares is recorded in the statement of income under “Profit from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss”.

 

On the other hand, the parties agreed that: (i) the 40% of the outstanding balance of the sale of 51% mentioned in the first paragraph of this note was paid on March 30, 2022 and (ii) the remaining balance shall be paid in two installments, on January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2027, respectively.

 

Finally, sellers retained the usufruct (dividends) of the shares sold to be declared 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. On March 18, 2022 an agreement updated was performed for the 100% of the shares.

 

11.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.

-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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

Description of the valuation process

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank has neither changed the techniques nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

 

Below is the reconciliation between the amounts at the beginning and at the end of the period or fiscal year, as applicable, of the financial assets recognized at fair value categorized as level 3:

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank has not recognized any transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

 

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Tax inflation adjustment – Fiscal years 2019 and 2020

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Moreover, on October 17, 2022, the Bank filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 382,189 paid as income tax for the 2021 tax period be reimbursed.

Reimbursement actions – Fiscal years 2013 to 2017 and 2018

 

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

 

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

29.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:

 

Reconciliation  09/30/2022   12/31/2021   09/30/2021   12/31/2020

30.CAPITAL STOCK

 

The Bank’s subscribed and paid-in capital from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2022, amounted to 639,413. The capital stock composition is detailed in Exhibit K to the condensed separated interim financial statements.

 

31.EARNINGS PER SHARE - DIVIDENDS

 

Basic earnings per share were calculated by dividing net profit attributable to common shareholders of the Bank by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

To determine the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, the Bank used the number of common shares outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year adjusted, if applicable, by the number of common shares bought back or issued during the period multiplied by the number of days that the shares were outstanding in the period. Note 30 provides a breakdown of the changes in the Bank’s capital stock.

 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is disclosed in the table of Earnings per share included in the condensed consolidated interim statement of income. See additionally note 41.

34.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:

 

34.1.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 (Accicom, Confibono, Red Surcos and Secubono). 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts for investment, amounted to 1,151,575 and 881,683, 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.

 

34.2.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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia SAU (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 11,680 and 15,950, respectively.

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

34.3Trusts guaranteeing loans granted by the Bank

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the assets managed by the Bank amounted to 2,491,731 and 3,361,203, respectively.

 

34.4Trusts in which the Bank acts as Trustee (Management)

 

The Bank, through its subsidiaries, performs management duties of the corpus assets directly according to the agreements, performing only trustee duties and has no other interests in the trust.

 

In no case shall the Trustee be liable with its own assets or for any obligation deriving from the performance as trustee. Such obligations do not imply any type of indebtedness or commitment for the trustee and they will be fulfilled only through trust assets. In addition, the trustee will not encumber the corpus assets or dispose of them beyond the limits established in the related trust agreements. The fees earned by the Bank from its role as trustee are calculated according to the terms and conditions of the agreements.

 

Trusts usually manage funds derived from the activities performed by trustors, for the following main purposes:

 

-Guaranteeing, in favor of the beneficiary the existence of the resources required to finance and/or pay certain obligations, such as the payment of amortization installments regarding work or service certificates, and the payment of invoices and fees stipulated in the related agreements.

 

-Promoting the production development of the private economic sector at a provincial level.

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the assets managed by the Bank amounted to 17,361,871 and 20,197,991, respectively.

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46) 

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos in terms of purchasing power of Argentine pesos as of September 30, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

Proceeding filed against: Banco Macro SA and the Members of the Board of Directors (Jorge Horacio Brito, Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo, Jorge Pablo Brito, Marcos Brito, Juan Pablo Brito Devoto, Luis Carlos Cerolini, Carlos Enrique Videla, Alejandro Macfarlane, Guillermo Eduardo Stanley, Constanza Brito and Emanuel Antonio Alvarez Agis).

 

Status: On 04/07/2016, the Bank filed the defenses and evidence on the BCRA. On 05/18/2016 the Bank requested on behalf of Mr. Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo the resolution of the motion for lack of standing to be sued. On 09/09/2020, the BCRA filed Resolution No. 132/20 (notified on 02/22/2021) which acquitted Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo and imposed a fine to the Bank and other responsible directors. On 03/01/2021 the Bank paid the fines. On 03/15/2021 the Bank filed a direct appeal against such resolution to the BCRA, which will be decided at Courtroom I of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court of Appeals (CNACAF, for its acronym in Spanish), where resolution is pending. The fine imposed to Mr. Jorge Horacio Brito was abrogated due to his passing. On 12/03/2021, the BCRA answered the notice of the direct appeal, requesting the dismissal. At the same date the CNACAF decided to include the process into the agreement to issue a sentence. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, this proceeding is pending resolution.

 

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

 

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

 

Responsibles: Banco Macro SA, Foreign Exchange Team Leader (Alfredo Muscari), head of Foreign Exchange and Banking Operations manager (Eduardo Roque Covello) and Compliance manager (Gustavo Emilio Pessagno).

 

Status: On 12/29/2021, Banco Macro SA and the natural persons subject to summary proceedings filed their joint defenses, offering evidence and requesting an acquittal. Such filing established that: (i) the crime charged in the summary proceedings is inadmissible and inappropriate; ii) the Criminal Foreign Exchange System is unconstitutional; iii) the infringements charged are barred by the statute of limitations; iv) the charge is null because it was filed by the director of the SEFyC (Financial Institutions and Foreign Exchange Regulatory Agency); v) the accusation made by the BCRA lacks the minimum requirements for the criminal charge to be valid; vi) there are no arguments or evidence proving a criminal behavior by Banco Macro SA’s staff; therefore, this would be an objective charge; vii) the parties charged have not participated in the events under investigation, and viii) the infringements under investigation are atypical from the objective and subjective perspectives. On 03/15/2022, the BCRA dismissed the previous defenses performed by the Bank and the rest of the responsibles who, on 03/25/2022, filed an extraordinary appeal and a nullity request which was dismissed by the BCRA. Against such resolution, on 04/25/2022 a complaint appeal was filed to the Economic Federal Court, Courtroom No. 5, which dismissed the abovementioned appeal and submitted the file to an administrative area to continue with the proceeding. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the file is on evidence stage.

 

Penalties imposed by the Financial Information Unit (UIF)

 

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

 

Reason: alleged deficiencies in preparing certain “Reports on suspicious transactions (ROS)” due to cases of infringement detected in certain customer files. Penalty amount: 330 (not restated).

 

Penalty imposed on: Banco Macro SA, the members of the Board and those in charge of anti-money laundering regulation compliance (Luis Carlos Cerolini –both as Compliance Officer and Director- and Jorge Horacio Brito, Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo, Juan Pablo Brito Devoto, Jorge Pablo Brito, Alejandro Macfarlane, Carlos Enrique Videla, Guillermo Eduardo Stanley, Constanza Brito, Emanuel Antonio Alvarez Agis, Marcos Brito and Rafael Magnanini, as Directors of Banco Macro SA).

 

Status: on 12/26/2016 the UIF passed Resolution No. 164/16 imposing fines on those responsible and issuing a favorable decision on the plea of lack of capacity to be sued lodged by Messrs. Carballo and Magnanini. Against such resolution, the Bank and the individuals liable filed direct appeals, which will be decided at Room III of the CNACAF. Such appeals were dismissed through a final sentence dated 07/18/2019. On 08/15/2019, the Bank filed a federal extraordinary appeal which was dismissed through resolution dated 09/26/2019. On 10/03/2019 the Bank filed a complaint appeal before Argentine Supreme Court (CSJN, for its acronym in Spanish), which is still pending resolution.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Persons subject to the summary proceedings: Banco Macro SA, Jorge Horacio Brito, Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo, Jorge Pablo Brito, Marcos Brito, Juan Pablo Brito Devoto, Carlos Enrique Videla, Alejandro Macfarlane, Guillermo Eduardo Stanley, Emanuel Antonio Alvarez Agis, Constanza Brito and Luis Carlos Cerolini.

 

Status: On 10/02/2019, Banco Macro SA and the liable individuals were notified about the initiation of the proceedings. On 10/31/2019, the Bank and the individuals subject to summary proceedings filed their defense. On 01/07/2020, the party hearing the summary proceedings considered the defense filed and deferred the motion to dismiss for lack of capacity to be sued and statute of limitations upon issuing an opinion about the substance of the case. The administrative terms were suspended due to the social and preventive lockdown declared in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic (DNU 297/2020), up to and including 11/29/2020. On 11/30/2020, terms were resumed (DNU 876/2020). On 03/02/2021, the passing of Mr. Jorge Horacio Brito was informed and the lapse of the action against him was requested. In addition, as part of the BCRA summary proceedings styled “File No. 100889/15 – Banco Macro SA, Summary Proceedings No. 1496”, Resolution No. 2020-132-E-GDEBCRA-SEFYC#BCRA was issued, whereby penalties were imposed on Banco Macro SA and the parties subject to those proceedings, currently pending before the CNACAF, Courtroom I (File No. 3784/2021). The transactions for which the parties are investigated have already been subject to penalties in the abovementioned BCRA summary proceedings; therefore, there cannot be simultaneous penalties based on the same subject matter. As a result, a request was made to prevent the application of all types of penalties to the parties subject to the summary proceedings. On 04/22/2021, the judge in charge of the summary proceedings informed that the pleas filed will be resolved in the final ruling; therefore, the brief will be added to the case file without analyzing the issue, expecting the issuance of a resolution. On 05/26/2021, it was advised that the terms of the summary proceedings pending with the UIF would be suspended from 05/26/2021, up to and including 05/28/2021. On 08/18/2021, it was resolved to set the case for the production of evidence and to summon all the parties involved to give testimony as parties subject to the summary proceedings. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the case is on the final report stage.

 

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

 

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

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 46)

Finally, on October 20, 2021 due to a Board of Director resolution, the Bank required from the CNV a five-year extension of the abovementioned program, which was approved by the Regulator through a note issued on December 15, 2021.

Interest is paid semiannually on May 4 and November 4 of every year and the reset date was November 4, 2021.

 

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

 

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

 

(2)On May 2, 2022, under the Global Program abovementioned, the Bank issued non-subordinated simple corporate bonds Class E not convertible into shares, for a face value of USD 17,000,000 at a fixed rate of 1.45%, fully amortizable upon maturity (May 2, 2024), under the terms and conditions set forth in the price supplement dated April 21, 2022.

At any time and according to the current regulations and by the foreign exchange regime issued by the BCRA, in particular, the Bank will be able to redeem, fully but not partially, the Class E Corporate Bonds to a price equally to (a) 102% of the remaining principal if the Bank will decide to redeem during the term between the Issuance and the Settlement date up to 9 (nine) month, including the last day; (b) 101 % of the remaining principal, if the Bank will decide to redeem during the terms beginning after the 9 (nine) month since the Issuance date up to maturity date of the Class E, in all cases with expenses and accrued interest not paid, excluding the redeem date.

 

(3)On May 8, 2017, under the Global Program mentioned in item a.1), Banco Macro SA issued non-subordinated simple corporate bonds Class B not convertible into shares, at a fixed rate of 17.50%, fully amortizable upon maturity (May 8, 2022) for a face value of pesos 4,620,570,000 equivalent to USD 300,000,000 (three hundred million US dollars), under the terms and conditions set forth in the price supplement dated April 21, 2017. Interest is paid semiannually on November 8 and May 8 of every year, beginning on November 8, 2017.

 

On the other hand, the Bank may fully redeem the issuance for tax matters, but not partially. The Bank used the funds derived from such issuance to grant loans in accordance with BCRA guidelines.

 

On October 17, 2018 and October 16, 2019, the Board of Directors decided to pay off these corporate bonds for a face value of 1,229,518,000 and 501,861,000, respectively, equivalent to the amount of purchases made as of those dates.

40.TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

40.1.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 from June 30, 1995, through June 30, 1999, and for the irregular six-month period ended December 31, 1999) and by former Banco Macro SA (for the fiscal years ended from December 31, 1998, through December 31, 2000).

 

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

 

b)The AFIP’s ex-officio undocumented expenses determinations for the periods February, April, May 2015 and from July 2015 through January 2018, both included of date April 19, 2021. On October 5, 2021, the Bank filed an appeal to the Federal Tax Court which is in process in Courtroom B, Office 6, under file 2021-96970075.

 

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

 

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

40.2.Other claims

 

Before merging with and into the Bank, Banco Privado de Inversiones SA (BPI) had a pending class action styled “Adecua v. Banco Privado de Inversiones on ordinary proceedings”, File No. 19073/2007, pending with 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, who also submitted them to the trial court, which received them on 09/27/2021 and were requested as effectum vivendi in proceedings “Estado Nacional – Ministerio Producción de la Nación c/ Asociación de Defensa de los Consumidores y Usuarios de la R.A y otros s/Ordinario” (File No. 6757/2013), in which the Bank is not a party, by the commercial court, clerk’s office No. 11. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, resolution is still pending.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

41.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, 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.

43.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, the existing volatile was accentuated for the market values of government and private financial instruments and a process of rescheduling maturities and swaps of certain government debt instruments started. In addition, material increases were observed in the country’s risk and in the exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the US dollar.

 

Subsequently, 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 material restrictions to the exchange market access were also established.

 

At the same time, the government’s debt restructuring process continued under domestic and foreign legislation, including several voluntary swaps and reached agreements regarding the country’s indebtedness with the International Monetary Fund and the Paris Club, among others.

 

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 85% as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Even though, at the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements certain volatility levels previously mentioned have been decreased, the local and international macroeconomic context generates certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress, and also considering the effects of the military conflict between Russian and Ukraine in the level of the global economic recovery, after the pandemic as mentioned in note 44.

 

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.

 

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

 

In early March 2020, the World Health Organization declared Coronavirus (Covid-19) a pandemic. This emergency situation over public health was worldwide expanded and several countries took 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 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.

 

Considering the size of the abovementioned situation, the Bank's Management estimates, on an ongoing basis, the effects on its operations, the financial situation and in its profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(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, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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 SAU, Macro Fiducia SAU, Macro Fondos SGFCISA, Argenpay SAU and Fintech SGR.

 

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

 

The Bank’s shares are publicly listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) 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 has mainly focused on the regional areas outside the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA, for its acronym in Spanish). Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro SA started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial 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). On July 18 and January 17, 2022, the Bank made irrevocable capital contributions in Play Digital SA for 245,539 and 130,758 (not restated). On October 7, 2022, the Bank sold 22,112,340 shares for an amount of 61,889. As a consequence, the Bank’s new interest in this company is 8.9927%. 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 increase up to 24.99% the Bank’s interest in the capital stock of Fintech SGR. As it was explained in note 3 under “Basis for consolidation” to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, already issued, Fintech SGR is a structured entity in which the Bank has control. See note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Additionally, on October 1, 2021, the Bank paid 50,850 (not restated) in order to purchase shares representing 50% of the capital stock and votes of Finova SA. See also note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

On November 23, 2022, 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 Municipal governments.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(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, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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

 

Applicable Accounting Standards

 

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

 

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

 

a)According to Communiqué “A” 6114, as supplemented, and in the convergence process through IFRS, the BCRA established that since fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” by BCRA rules, in which the Bank is included, begin to apply section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55), except for the temporary exclusion for the 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 abovementioned standard.

 

b)As of December 31, 2021 the Bank measured its holding in Prisma Medios de Pago SA (Prisma), according to the Memorandums received from the BCRA on March 12 and 22, 2021, which established specific guidelines related to the measurement of such holding. Taking into account such guidelines, the Bank adjusted its fair value previously determined (see note 8). In March 2022, the shares related to the abovementioned holding were transferred, recording the profit for this transaction in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. If, for the fair value measurement purpose before mentioned, IFRS had been applied, the profit or loss for the previous fiscal years and for the period ended September 30, 2022, should have been modified. However, this situation does not generate differences in the shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2022.

 

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” 7411. Generally, the BCRA does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS, unless otherwise expressly stated.

 

Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, already issued, presents further detailed descriptions of the basis for the presentation of such financial statements and the main accounting policies used and the relevant information of the subsidiaries. All that is explained therein shall apply to these condensed separate interim financial statements, except for the goodwill generated by the business combination, as mentioned in note 10, which according to BCRA Communiqué “A” 6618, in the condensed separate interim financial statements, is included in the net investment of the subsidiary.

 

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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(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, 2022, except as otherwise indicated)

 

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 profit and loss of the entity after the date of acquisition or creation.

 

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

 

Transcription into books

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim financial statements, they are in process of being transcribed into the inventory book (“Libro Inventario”) of Banco Macro SA.

 

New standards adopted

 

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

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

 

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank maintains the following maximum exposures to credit risk related to this type of transactions:

 

Composition  09/30/2022   12/31/2021

Subtotal  510,625,733   373,084,202 
Less: Allowance for Expected credit losses (ECL)  (737,493)  (552,929)
Total  509,888,240   372,531,273 

 

(1)Includes transactions not covered by BCRA debtor classification standard. The Guarantees granted include an amount of 42,677 and 43,332 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Overdraft and unused agreed commitments include an amount of 371,998 and 159,778 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 43 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, already issued.

9.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

Note 11 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements describes the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value, both of the financial instruments recognized at fair value as of those not accounted for at such fair value in these condensed separate interim financial statements. In addition, the Bank discloses the relevant information as to instruments included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

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

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

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

 

-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) observable in active markets that the Bank accesses to at the measurement day for identical assets or liabilities. The Bank considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with respect to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available at each 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Tax inflation adjustment – Fiscal years 2019 and 2020.

 

As decided by the Board of Directors in the meeting held on May 11, 2020, considering certain case law on the matter assessed by its legal counsel and tax advisors, on May 26, 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 22 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 accrued income tax for Banco Macro SA for such fiscal year that amounted to 9,933,210 (not restated).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Moreover, on October 17, 2022, the Bank filed a reimbursement action with the AFIP requesting that 382,189 paid as income tax for the 2021 tax period be reimbursed.

 

Reimbursement actions – Fiscal years 2013 to 2017 and 2018

 

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

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