BANCO MACRO ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2007

Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 8, 2007 - Banco Macro S.A. (NYSE: BMA; Buenos Aires: BMA) (“Banco Macro”, the “Bank” or “Macro”) announced today its results for the three month ended September 30, 2007 (“3Q07”). All figures are in Argentine pesos (Ps.) and have been prepared in accordance with Argentine GAAP.

SUMMARY
 
·  
The Bank’s net income totalled Ps.88 million. This result was 17% or Ps.17.7 million lower than 3Q06’s Ps.105.7 million. The annualized ROAE and ROAA reached 18.4% and 2.6%, respectively. The Bank’s equity also increased in Ps.88 million in the quarter.
 
·  
Banco Macro decided not to take the option to value its portfolio as “investment” or “available for sale” pursuant to Communications “A” 4698 and 4702 issued by the Central Bank. The Bank continues to value its securities at market value.
 
·  
The Bank’s net interest income was Ps.233 million, decreasing 0.3% Quarter-over-Quarter (“QoQ”). The Bond portfolio income declined 2.5% QoQ due to lower bond prices.
 
·  
Banco Macro’s financing to the private increased 24% or Ps.1.8 billion QoQ and 59% or Ps.3.4 billion Year-over-Year (“YoY”). Personal loans, which represent a strategic product for the Bank, once again led private loan portfolio growth. This product grew 27% QoQ and 150% YoY.
 
·  
Total deposits grew 12% or Ps.1.5 billion QoQ, totalling Ps.13.5 billion and represented 78% of the Bank’s liabilities. Time deposits rose 15% QoQ.
 
·  
Banco Macro continued to have a strong solvency ratio, with excess capital of Ps.1.9 billion. In addition, the Bank’s liquid assets remained at a high level, reaching 59.7% of total deposits.
 
·  
The Bank’s asset quality improved to more attractive levels. In 3Q07, Banco Macro’s PDLs-to-total loans ratio reached 1.34%, improving from 2Q07’s 1.55%. The coverage ratio reached 157.1%.

Banco Macro’s 3Q07 net income of Ps.88.0 million decreased Ps.27.3 million or 24% QoQ, mainly due to lower net financial income (due to a decrease in the market value of the Government securities portfolio) which was partially offset by the increase in loan interest income. The higher financial expenses registered the increase in deposit base and higher administration expenses negatively affected 3Q07’s bottom line (see Financial Income, Financial Expense and Administrative Expense tables).
 
The Bank’s 3Q07 ROAE was 18.4%. Additionally, the obtained ROAE has a higher value considering the low leverage of Banco Macro’s balance sheet (7.8x assets-to-equity ratio).

The Bank’s financial income of Ps.440.0 million increased 9% or Ps.36.9 million QoQ.
 
In the quarter, interest on loans increased 16% QoQ and represented 62% of total financial income. This performance was in line with the sustained private sector loan growth (see “Private Sector Financing”). Within this segment, interest on documents grew 33% QoQ and interest on other loans (including interests on personal loans) increased by 23%.

Results generated by public and private securities decreased 2.5% QoQ, as a result of a smaller public securities portfolio in July and August, offset bye a steep improvement in September (NOBAC average portfolio increased 6% in the quarter). As of September 2007, the Bank’s Nobacs and Lebacs portfolio represented 91% of total public bonds. In addition, the Central Bank’s Notes portfolio, which is where the Bank allocates its excess liquidity, yields variable rate (Badlar interest rate + spread) and had an average duration of 6 months.
 
Finally, CER-adjusted income decreased Ps.10.4 million or 62%, due to the change in CPI (2Q07 CER index variation was 1.91% and in 3Q07 was 1.50%).

Financial expenses of Ps.207.0 million in 3Q07 climbed 22% QoQ mainly due to increased interest on deposits.
 
Interest on deposits represented 62% of total financial expenses. The private sector time deposit portfolio increased 15% QoQ. Therefore, the interest expense increase can be traced to time deposit portfolio growth and marginally to higher interest rates. As of September 2007, transactional accounts (current and saving accounts) represented 56% of Banco Macro’s total deposits; these are low cost accounts and are not sensitive to interest rate increases.

The "Other expense" line increased Ps.18.9 million QoQ. This growth was explained by the adjustments in the valuation of Public Sector Loans (guaranteed loans).
 
Interest on other liabilities from financial intermediation totaled Ps.21.6 million, growing Ps.3.9 million as compared to 2Q07. This was due to Senior Notes (Class 2) interest accrual, and mainly due to Senior Notes (Class 3), issued in June 2007, which only had an impact in this one month in 2Q07.
 
Finally, expenses originated by CER-adjustments decreased Ps.2.7 million or 26% QoQ due to the changes in the CPI.
 
The Bank’s net interest income of Ps.233 million was flat QoQ. This can be seen as positive since the increase in interest on loans offset the impact of lower bond prices and higher interest rates on deposits.

Banco Macro’s net fee income of Ps.125.6 million grew 4% QoQ mainly due to the increase in deposit fees (11% QoQ), in line with deposit portfolio growth.
 
The service expense increase can be explained by service fees, taxes and expense in credit card operations.

In 3Q07, Banco Macro’s administrative expenses of Ps.235.3 million grew by 3% compared to the previous quarter’s level of Ps.229.0 million.
 
Personnel expenses increased Ps.9.1 million QoQ due to the higher number of employees and remuneration while advertising expenses rose Ps.3.4 million.
 
The Bank’s efficiency ratio (cost-to-income) slightly deteriorated to 65.6% due to lower net interest income. However, net fee income to expenses ratio improved to 53.4% from 2Q07’s level of 52.9%.
 
One of Banco Macro’s challenges is to improve its efficiency performance by increasing its interest and fee income at a higher rate than expenses. It is not easy to reduce the nominal level of expenses in an inflationary economy.

The Bank’s net other income totalled Ps.11.6 million, 59% lower than 2Q07. This can be explained by a decrease in loans recovered and reversal of provisions.

The decrease in the “Other expense” line was due to the Senior Notes (Class 3) fees accounted for in 2Q07.

FINANCIAL ASSETS
 
Private sector financing
 
The volume of “core” financing to the private sector continued growing at attractive rates (59% or Ps.3.4 billion YoY and 24% or Ps. 1.8 billion QoQ), netting the effects related to the Bank’s liquidity management policy (advances to AAA rated companies) and adding the Bank’s personal financial trust and leasing portfolio. In 3Q07, Banco Macro gained market share since overal loan growth was only 11.4%.
 
The Bank’s lending portfolio expansion was mainly due to by overdrafts, documents and consumer loans. Overdrafts increased 46% QoQ or Ps.455.5 million (AAA loans mainly) and documents 48% QoQ or Ps.308.8 million. Personal loans climbed 27% QoQ or Ps.595.9 million and 150% or Ps.1.66 billion YoY.
 
Finally, leasing loans also evolved favourably (up 13% QoQ and 48% YoY), and financial trusts rose 11% QoQ and 33% YoY.

PUBLIC SECTOR ASSETS
 
The Bank’s exposure of public sector assets (net of LEBAC / NOBAC) to total assets ratio narrowed to 5.9% from 2Q07’s level of 7.4% and last year’s level of 10.0%, and was also lower than the system-wide average of 11%.
 
It is important to mention that the bank records all its securities at market value. Banco Macro decided not to take the option to value its portfolio as “investment” or “available for sale” as pursuant to Communications “A” 4698 and 4702 issued by the Central Bank.

FUNDING
 
Banco Macro’s deposit base reached Ps.13.5 billion; this is the most important source of funds for the Bank (78% of total liabilities). Deposits grew by 12% or Ps.1.5 billion QoQ. Once again, Banco Macro gained market share since system-wide deposit growth was only 4.8% in 3Q07.
 
Banco Macro’s private sector deposits grew 10% or Ps.1.1 billion QoQ. This expansion was mainly due to time deposits, which grew 15% QoQ and represented 44% of the Bank’s total deposit base. In the quarter, saving accounts also grew by 15%.
 
Finally, public sector deposits grew 24% or Ps.393.8 million QoQ.

Other sources of funds
 
The Bank’s other sources of funds increased by 2% or Ps.81.2 million QoQ.
 
The increase in the “subordinated corporate bonds” line can be traced to the conversion to Argentine pesos of the debt into dollars at a higher exchange rate. While the decrease in the “Central Bank” line was due to the partial amortization of Suquía’s (Ps.37.4 million) and Bisel’s (Ps.33.3 million) debt with the Central Bank paid in August 2007.

Banco Macro’s annual average cost of funds of 5.0% is one of the lowest in Argentina’s banking sector. Due to the large NUMBER of transactional accounts held by Banco Macro, the quarterly increase in the Bank’s cost of funds was only 50 bp.
 
LIQUID ASSETS
 
The Bank’s liquid assets increased 4% or Ps.334.8 million QoQ, mainly due to the expansion in AAA overdrafts (Ps.369.8 million) and the LEBAC/NOBAC portfolio (Ps.349.8 million) growth. This was partially offset by a reduction in “Call” of Ps.454.4 million.
 
Banco Macro’s liquid asset-to-deposits ratio remained at 59.7% and was higher than Argentina’s banking sector average of 42.3%. A conservative liquidity level was, is and will be Banco Macro’s strategic policy.

SOLVENCY
 
In 3Q07, Banco Macro had excess capital of Ps.1.9 billion (higher than the required capital of Ps.951 million). This increase can be traced to a reduction in the required capital coming from a lower net negative global position in foreign currency.
 
The capitalization ratio was 28.1%, well above the 10.5% minimum required by the Central Bank.

The main target for the Bank’s excess capital is growth with the consequent higher leverage of its balance sheet.

ASSET QUALITY
 
Banco Macro continued improving its asset quality ratios. In 3Q07, NPLs accounted for 1.34% of total financing compared to the 1.55% posted in 2Q07. This improvement can be traced to the combined effect of an increase in the Bank’s loan book and stability in the NPLs portfolio.
 
The asset quality standard obtained is highly valued considering that Banco Macro has incorporated two regional banks (Suquía and Bisel) in the last two years.
 
The coverage ratio continued at an attractive level of 157.1%.

DISCLAIMER
 
This press release includes forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current beliefs, expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting our business. Many important factors could cause our actual results to differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements, including, among other things: inflation; changes in interest rates and the cost of deposits; government regulation; adverse legal or regulatory disputes or proceedings; credit and other risks of lending, such as increases in defaults by borrowers; fluctuations and declines in the value of Argentine public debt; competition in banking, financial services; deterioration in regional and national business and economic conditions in Argentina; and fluctuations in the exchange rate of the peso.

The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “aim,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this press release because of new information, future events or other factors. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release might not occur and are not guarantees of future performance.

This report is a summary analysis of Banco Macro's financial condition and results of operations as of and for the period indicated. For a correct interpretation, this report must be read in conjunction with all other material periodically filed with the Comisión Nacional de Valores (www.cnv.gov.ar), the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov), the Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires (www.bolsar.com.ar) and the New York Stock Exchange (www.nyse.com). In addition, the Central Bank (www.bcra.gov.ar) may publish information related to Banco Macro as of a date subsequent to the last date for which the Bank has published information.

Readers of this report must note that this is a translation made from an original version written and expressed in Spanish. Consequently, any matters of interpretation should be referred to the original version in Spanish.
