NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR

THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2019

(Stated in thousands of pesos)

1. General information

BBVA Banco Francés S.A. (hereinafter, either “BBVA Francés”, the “Entity” or the “Bank”) is a corporation (“sociedad anónima”) incorporated under the laws of Argentina, operating as a universal bank with a network of 252 national branches.

Since December 1996, BBVA Francés is part of the global strategy of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. (BBVA or the “Parent”), which directly and indirectly controls the Entity, by holding 66.55% of the share capital as of March 31, 2019.

On April 26, 2019, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the Entity’s change of corporate name. In this sense, the corporation (sociedad anónima) incorporated under the name “BBVA Banco Francés S.A.” will continue to operate under the name “BBVA Argentina S.A.”. The change of name is pending approval of the BCRA and registration with the Argentine Superintendence of Corporations (IGJ).

These financial statements include the Entity and its controlled or subsidiary companies (collectively referred to, including the Entity, as the “Group”). The Entity’s subsidiaries are listed below:

• BBVA Francés Valores S.A.: corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina as a comprehensive clearing and settlement agent. On March 8, 2019, the Bank’s Board of Directors submitted to its Shareholders’ Meeting a proposal to carry out a merger of this company in order to attain more efficiency in its administrative processes and thus, provide better service to its customers. In this regard, on April 24, 2019, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the proposal made by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Finally, it should be noted that the CNV has authorized the merger prospectus published in the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange Bulletin on April 16, 2019.

• BBVA Francés Asset Management S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión: corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina as an agent for the management of mutual funds;

• Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings): corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina undergoing liquidation proceedings. On December 4, 2008, Law No. 26425 was enacted, providing for the elimination and replacement of the capitalization regime that was part of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, with a single government regime named the Argentine Integrated Retirement and Pensions System (SIPA). Consequently, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. ceased to manage the resources that were part of the individual capitalization accounts of affiliates and beneficiaries of the capitalization regime of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, which were transferred to the Guarantee Fund for the Sustainability of the Argentine Retirement and Pension Regime as they were already invested, and the Argentine Social Security Office (ANSES) is now the sole and exclusive owner of those assets and rights. Likewise, on October 29, 2009, the ANSES issued Resolution No. 290/2009, whereby retirement and pension funds managers interested in reconverting their corporate purpose to manage the funds for voluntary contributions and deposits held by participants in their capitalization accounts had 30 business days to express their intention to that end. On December 28, 2009, based on the foregoing and taking into consideration that it is impossible for Consolidar

- 10 -

A.F.J.P. S.A. to comply with the corporate purpose for which it was incorporated, it was resolved, at a Unanimous General and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to approve the dissolution and subsequent liquidation of that company effective as of December 31, 2009.

• Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. (VWFS): A financial company incorporated under the laws of Argentina engaged in pledge loans. On September 25, 2018, BBVA Francés lost control of the company due to the termination of the two-year term committed by the Entity to provide financing to such company if it failed to diversify its sources of funding. According to International Accounting Standard No. 28 (IAS 28), VWFS qualifies as an associate and, as such, it has been deconsolidated effective since the date of loss of control.

Argentine Capital Markets Law No. 26831, enacted on December 28, 2012 and amended by Law No. 27440 dated May 11, 2018, subsequently regulated through General Resolution No. 622/13 and General Resolution No. 731/2018 issued by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), establishes in Section 47 that agents have an obligation to register with the CNV, to act in the market in any of the capacities set forth in such law. On September 9 and 19, 2014, the Entity was registered as an Agent for the Custody of Mutual Funds under No. 4 and as a Comprehensive Clearing and Settlement Agent under No. 42. On August 7, 2014, the subsidiary BBVA Banco Francés Asset Management S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión was registered as a Mutual Fund Agent under No. 3. On September 19, 2014, the subsidiary BBVA Francés Valores S.A. was registered as a comprehensive Settlement, Clearing and Trading Agent under No. 41.

Part of the Entity’s stock capital is publicly traded and has been registered with the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and the Madrid Stock Exchange.

2. Basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements

These condensed financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 are prepared pursuant to the reporting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank (B.C.R.A.) that requires supervised entities to submit financial statements prepared pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), subject to temporary exception from applying the impairment model in Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS No. 9 “Financial instruments” and International Accounting Standard No. 29 (IAS No. 29) “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, which shall be applicable for the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and, taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulatory entity on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions as well as, the instructions provided in Memorandum No. 7/2019 issued by the BCRA dated April 29, 2019, which set forth the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. as of March 31, 2019 (“financial reporting framework established by the BCRA”).

The exceptions described are a deviation from IFRS and are detailed below:

a) Regarding the impairment model set forth in Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9, on December 5, 2018, the Entity filed with the BCRA the impairment model to be applied within the framework of IFRS No. 9 as from January 1, 2020. The Entity filed quantification with the BCRA on March 29, 2019;

b) Regarding IAS No. 29, the existence of an inflationary context significantly affects the Entity’s financial position and profit or loss and, therefore, the impact of inflation shall be taken into consideration in the interpretation of the information the Entity provides in these financial statements on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows;

- 11 -

c) Had the IFRS treatment regarding uncertain tax positions been applied, liabilities would have decreased by 2,207,318 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Likewise, the income/(loss) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 would have increased by 1,021,518 (Note 15.c), and

d) As regards the investment held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. recorded under “Investments in Equity Instruments” as of March 31, 2019, it should be recognized at fair value determined as of such date pursuant to IFRS No. 9 (Note 16).

As this is an interim period, the Group has opted to present condensed information, pursuant to the guidelines of IAS No. 34 “Interim Financial Information”; therefore, not all the information required for the preparation of complete financial statements under IFRS is included. Therefore, these financial statements should be read jointly with the financial statements as of December 31, 2018. However, explanatory notes of events and transactions that are material for understanding any changes in the financial position as from March 31, 2019 are included.

Furthermore, the B.C.R.A., through Communications “A” 6323 and 6324 set forth guidelines for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements of financial institutions for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, including the additional reporting requirements as well as the information to be submitted as Exhibits.

These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of BBVA Banco Francés S.A. as of May 8, 2019.

3. Functional and presentation currency and Unit of account

3.1. Functional and presentation currency

The Group considers the Argentine Peso as the functional and presentation currency. All amounts are stated in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise stated.

3.2. Unit of account

According to IAS No. 29, entities are required to restate financial statements stated in local currency as their functional currency to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of such currency, based on the existence or not of a hyperinflationary economy. IAS No. 29 provides certain qualitative and quantitative guidelines to determine the existence of a hyperinflationary economy. Accordingly, hyperinflation shall be deemed to exist where the last three years’ cumulative inflation approaches or exceeds 100%.

As a result of the increase in inflation that has been experienced in the first months of fiscal year 2018, there has been consensus on that the Argentine economy would qualify as a highly inflationary economy according to the guidelines set forth under IAS No. 29. This consensus implies the need to apply IAS No. 29 in preparing financial statements under IFRS for annual and interim periods ended after July 1, 2018.

IAS 29 sets forth that the financial statements of an entity with a functional currency of a high inflationary economy shall be restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, regardless of whether the financial statements are based on an historical cost or current cost approach. For such purposes, monetary items shall not be restated, non-monetary items shall be restated by applying the variation of a general price index between the date of acquisition or the date of revaluation and the date of the financial statements to be submitted. The components of shareholders’ equity, except accumulated income/(loss) and surplus of appreciation of assets, shall be restated by applying the general price index to the various items between the date of contribution,

- 12 -

or between the date of acquisition for any other cause and the date of the financial statements to be submitted. Income and expenses for the period shall be adjusted by applying the general price index between the date those items were acquired and the date of the financial statements to be submitted.

Furthermore, the figures for the preceding fiscal years or periods presented for comparative purposes shall be restated.

As mentioned in Note 2, the application of the guidelines in IAS 29 is exempted and shall be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020 as set forth by the BCRA through Communication “A” 6651 issued on February 22, 2019, and therefore the Group does not and shall not restate its financial statements until the date referred to above

The financial statements as of March 31, 2019 of the following subsidiaries: BBVA Francés Valores S.A., BBVA Francés Asset Management S.A. and Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (Undergoing liquidation proceedings) were prepared in constant currency in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 107/18 of the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires (CPCECABA), which state the need to restate in constant currency financial statements for fiscal years ended on or after July 1, 2018, in accordance with JG Resolution issued by the Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE)No. 539/18 dated September 29, 2018. For the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA, the Entity has made the necessary adjustments to eliminate the inflation restatement.

The Entity’s Management estimates that the Group shareholders’ equity and income/(loss) may significantly differ if IAS No. 29 is applied.

The existence of such inflationary economic environment affects the Group’s financial position and results of operations. Therefore, the impact of inflation may distort the financial information and should be taken into consideration in understanding the Group’s information reported in these financial statements about its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows.

4. Accounting estimates and judgments

Significant judgments made by the Board of Directors in the application of accounting policies as well as the premises and estimates on uncertainties as of March 31, 2019 were the same as those described in Note 4.1. and 4.2. to the financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

In addition, the Bank applies the same methodologies for the assessment of fair values and the same criteria for the classification of fair value levels as those described in Note 4.3. to the financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

5. Significant accounting policies

Except as stated in Notes 5.1 and 5.2 below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, in all the periods presented in these financial statements.

5.1. Assets acquired through financial leases

On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, replacing IAS 17 “Leases” for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Said standard was adopted by the BCRA through Communication “A” 6560. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases. There are recognition exceptions for short term leases and leases where the underlying asset has a low value. The lessee has to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset and a lease liability for the obligation of making payments for the lease.

- 13 -

As to the lessor´s recognition, IFRS 16 substantially keeps the requirements of IAS 17. Therefore, lessors continue classifying leases as operating or financial, and each of them are recognized differently.

The Bank has opted for applying the modified retrospective method consisting in recognizing lease liabilities in the amount equivalent to the current amount of future payments agreed. As a result of this approach, as of such date, the Entity recognizes right-to-use assets and lease liabilities, mainly from leases of offices in its network of branches (Note 29).

5.2. Investments in equity instruments

By virtue of the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. as explained in Note 16, the remaining stake has been measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of the valuation reports issued by independent appraisers, net of the valuation adjustment mandated by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019. The accounting criteria applied as required above, imply a deviation from IFRS.

5.3. Interim financial information

These financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial information” and pursuant to the policies adopted by the Entity in its annual financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

5.4. Comparative information

For comparative purposes, certain reclassifications were made to the information presented for the previous year/period, in order to present them on a consistent basis. The changes of comparative information do not imply changes in any decisions taken on the basis thereof.

6. IFRS issued but not yet effective

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6114 issued by the BCRA, as the new IFRS are approved, or the current IFRSs are modified or repealed and, once such changes are adopted by the FACPCE, the BCRA shall issue a statement of its approval for financial institutions. In general, early adoption of an IFRS shall not be allowed, unless specifically admitted when adopted.

a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Impairment

Regarding Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS No. 9, Communication “A” 6430 issued by the BCRA established its application as from fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. On the subject, the Entity submitted to the BCRA a description of the expected losses calculation model under that standard on December 5, 2018 and made the quantification of its impact and submitted such information to the regulatory entity on March 29, 2019, as required by Communication “A” 6590 issued by the BCRA.

- 14 -

b) IAS 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies

In addition, Communication “A” 6651 issued by the BCRA on February 22, 2019 set forth the application of a the restatement in constant currency set forth by IAS 29 in hyperinflationary economies for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. As stated in Note 2 to these financial statements, the Entity estimates that the effect of adopting this regulation has a significant impact on its statements of financial position, income and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of March 31, 2019.

• Income tax– Tax inflation adjustment for fiscal years 2016 and 2017.

On May 10, 2017 and May 10, 2018, and based on related case law, the Entity approved the filing of an action for declaratory judgment of unconstitutionality of Section 39 of Law 24073, Section 4 of Law 25561, Section 5 of Decree No. 214/02 issued by the Argentine Executive and any other regulation whereby the inflation adjustment mechanism provided for under Law 20628, as amended, is considered not applicable due to the confiscatory effect on the specific case, for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. Consequently, the Entity filed its Income Tax Returns for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 taking into consideration the effect of those restatement mechanisms.

The net impact of this measure is an adjustment to the Income Tax assessed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 in the amount of 1,185,800 while during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 the Income Tax adjustment amounted to 1,021,518.

Through Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017, the BCRA, without resolving on the decisions adopted by the authorities of the Entity or the right of the Entity regarding the suit filed, in its capacity as issuer of accounting standards, requested the Entity to record a contingent provision included in “Liabilities” in the amount equivalent to income recorded, as it considers that “a reassessment of the income tax by applying the inflation adjustment is not addressed by the BCRA regulations”.

In response to this Memorandum, the Entity filed the related answer and confirmed its position by providing the documentation supporting the referred recording. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Entity recorded the requested provision in the “Provisions” account under liabilities and in “Other operating expenses” in the Statement of Income, as specifically pursuant to the accounting standards prescribed by the regulator for this case.

As a result of the assessment made and based on the opinion of its legal and tax advisors, the Entity considers that it is more likely than not for the Entity to obtain a final favorable judgment supporting the idea that this period’s income tax shall be assessed including the tax inflation adjustment, based on the confiscatory nature of the rate that would result from not applying said adjustment in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Therefore, the recording of the contingent provision required by the BCRA results in a departure from IFRS, as stated in Note 2.

• Income tax – requests for recovery of payments made for fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015.

- 20 -

Regarding fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Entity assessed income tax without applying the tax inflation adjustment, consequently a higher tax was paid in the amounts of 264,257, 647,945 and 555,002 for those periods.

Based on the grounds stated above, on November 19, 2015, the petition for recovery of the payments made was filed for periods 2013 and 2014, and the related complaint was filed on September 23, 2016 for both periods, given that no answer to the petition above was received.

In turn, on April 4, 2017, a petition for recovery of the payments made for the higher amount of tax paid for fiscal year 2015 was filed. Likewise, on December 29, 2017, the related complaint was filed for this fiscal year.

As of the date of these financial statements, the tax authorities have not issued a resolution regarding the claims filed.

Pursuant to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA, the Entity does not record assets in relation to contingent assets derived from the claims filed.

21. Non-current assets held for sale

On December 19, 2018, the Board of Directors agreed to a plan to sell a group of real property assets located in Argentina. Therefore, these assets, the value of which, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 amounts to 59,776, were classified as “Non-current assets held for sale”, after the efforts to sell that group of assets began.

During November 2017, the Board of Directors agreed to a plan to sell its ownership interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., and therefore the accounting balance thereof was presented as “Non-current assets held for sale”, in the amount of 433,597 as of December 31, 2018. The sale of 51% of the Bank’s shareholding in such company was completed on February 1, 2019.

It includes the estimated amounts to pay highly likely liabilities which, in case of occurrence, would generate a loss for the Entity.

The breakdown and changes of provisions are included in Exhibit J. However, below is a brief description:

• Re-assessment of Income Tax due to the application of the inflation adjustment: it reflects the provision required by the BCRA through Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017, as it was considered that the reassessment of the income tax by applying the inflation adjustment is not addressed by the current regulations. The Bank has answered the BCRA memorandum and evidenced the validity of the recognition timely made and has requested that it be reviewed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision requested by the BCRA was set up.

• Contingent commitments: it reflects the credit risk arising from the assessment of the degree of compliance of the beneficiaries of unused overdrafts, guarantees, sureties and other contingent commitments for the benefit of third parties on behalf of customers, and of their financial position and the counter guarantees supporting those transactions.

• Administrative, disciplinary and criminal penalties: administrative penalties initiated by the Financial Information Unit, even if there were court or administrative measures to suspend payment and regardless of the status of the proceedings regarding penalties.

• Termination benefit plans: for certain terminated employees, the Bank bears the cost of private health care plans (total or partial) for a certain period after termination. The Bank does not bear any situations requiring medical assistance, but it only makes the related health care plan payments.

• Other: it reflects the estimated amounts to pay tax claims, labor-related and commercial claims and miscellaneous complaints.

In the opinion of the Entity’s Board of Directors and its legal advisors, there are no other significant effects other than those stated in these financial statements, the amounts and repayment terms of which have been recorded based on the actual value of those estimates, considering the probable date of their final resolution.

Derivative instruments		1,377,259		1,377,259		—		1,377,259

The fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The most objective and usual reference of the fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be paid in an orderly, transparent and deep market, that is to say its quoted or market price.

If it is not possible to obtain a market price, a fair value is determined using best market practice quoting techniques, such as cash flows discount based on a yields curve for the same class and type of instrument, or if there is no market curve with the same characteristics of the bond, the technical value is calculated considering the latest market price plus interest accrued until the valuation date (whichever is more representative for the species).

In line with the accounting standard, a three-level classification of financial instruments is established. This classification is mainly made based on the observability of the necessary inputs to calculate that fair value, defining the following levels:

• Level 1: Financial instruments valued with quoted prices in an active market. Active market means a market that allows the observation of representative prices with sufficient frequency and daily volume

- 32 -

• Level 2: Financial instruments that do not have an active market, but that may be valued through market observable data.

• Level 3: Valuation using models where variables not obtained from observable market information are used.

Financial assets at fair value mainly consist of BCRA Liquidity Bills and Argentine Treasury Bills (Letes), together with a minor share in Argentine Government Bonds and Corporate Bonds. Likewise, financial derivatives are classified at fair value, which includes foreign currency forward transactions and interest rate swaps with settlement at maturity.

b) Transfers between hierarchy levels

b.1) Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2

The following instruments measured at fair value were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy:

	12.31.18
Argentine Bond in Pesos due 2038		1,615

The transfer is due to the fact that the bond was not listed on the market the number of days necessary to be considered Level 1.

No transfers have occurred from Level 1 to Level 2 as of March 31, 2019.

b.2) Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1

No transfers have occurred from Level 2 to Level 1 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

b.3) Valuation techniques for Levels 2 and 3

The determination of fair value prices set forth by the bank for fixed income consists of considering reference market prices for active markets MAE (“Mercado Abierto Electrónico”) and BYMA (“Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos”). If there are no quoted prices for the last 10 business days, a theoretical valuation is made.

The valuation allocated to financial assets that were not listed on the last 10 business days is determined by considering the latest quoted market price, plus interest accrued until the valuation date or technical value, whichever more representative.

The theoretical valuation carried out for swaps and non-delivery forwards consists in discounting the future flows of the investment applying the interest rate as per the proper spot rates curve.

The estimate of future cash flows for swaps is made considering the spot rates in pesos and the BADLAR rate curve as input. In the case of non-delivery forwards, future cash flows are estimated considering the fair values of Rofex futures as inputs.

For Level 2 Calculations, input data observable in the market is required: the last quoted market price (MAE or BYMA), the terms and conditions of the bond issue as detailed in the respective offering memorandum or, in the particular case of BADLAR-adjustable bonds, the terms published in the BCRA’s website.

b.4) Reconciliation of opening and ending balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities at fair value

The following table shows a reconciliation between opening balances and final balances of Level 3 fair values:

Balance at the beginning of the fiscal year		—
Investments in equity instruments – Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.		1,765,000
Balance at fiscal period-end		1,765,000

c) Fair value of Assets and Liabilities not measured at fair value

Below is a description of methodologies and assumptions used to assess the fair value of the main financial instruments not measured at fair value, when the instrument does not have a quoted price in a known market.

• Assets and liabilities with fair value similar to their accounting balance

For financial assets and financial liabilities maturing in less than one year, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to fair value. This assumption also applies for deposits, because a significant portion thereof (more than 99% considering contractual terms and conditions) have a residual maturity of less than one year.

• Fixed rate financial instruments

The fair value of financial assets was assessed by discounting future cash flows from market rates at each measurement date for financial instruments with similar characteristics.

• Variable rate financial instruments

For financial assets and financial liabilities accruing a variable rate, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to the fair value.

According to the requirements of Communication “A” 5689, as amended, issued by the BCRA, below is a detail of the administrative and/or disciplinary penalties as well as the judgements issued by courts of original jurisdiction in criminal matters, enforced or brought by the BCRA of which the Entity has been notified:

The BCRA answered the request from the Court, stating that noncompliance with the provisions of Communication “A” 3471 would not currently be subject to any change that may imply a lesser offense. Moreover, the Entity is awaiting an answer from the Court regarding the transfer of the requested court files. On July 5, 2018, the Entity was notified of the hearing under Section No. 41 of the Criminal Code, which was held on August 7, 2018.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ LIMITED REVIEW REPORT ON CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the President and Directors of

BBVA Banco Francés S.A.

Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111

City of Buenos Aires

Taxpayer identification number [C.U.I.T.] 30 -50000319 -3

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of BBVA Banco Francés S.A. (the “Entity”) and its subsidiaries, which include the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, exhibits and selected explanatory notes.

The balances and other information as of December 31, 2018 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 are an integral part of the aforementioned financial statements and, therefore, shall be considered in the light of these financial statements.

Board of Directors’ and Management responsibility for the financial statements

The Entity’s Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards established by the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and, particularly, on International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), except for section 5.5 “Impairment of Value” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. Furthermore, the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulator on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions and Memorandum No. 7/2019, issued by the regulator on April 29, 2019 regarding the valuation of the investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. were taken into account. The Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to error or irregularities.

Scope of our review

Our responsibility is to issue a conclusion on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards set forth by Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE and the “Minimum Standards applicable to External Audits” set forth by the BCRA for the review of interim financial statements. In accordance with such standards, a review is limited primarily to the performance of analytical and other review procedures applied to financial data included in the interim financial statements and inquiries of personnel responsible for the preparation thereof. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards in force, and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

- 55 -

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of BBVA Banco Francés S.A. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the BCRA accounting framework described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw users’ attention to the following information disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements:

a) As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, they have been prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the BCRA financial reporting framework, which differs from IFRS as to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment of Value” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions.

b) As explained in Notes 2.b) and 3, as provided for by BCRA Communication “A” 6651, the Entity has not applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” to the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. The existence of an inflationary context affects the Entity’s financial position and results of operations and, therefore, the inflation impact may distort the financial information, which should be considered in the interpretation of the information provided by the Entity in these consolidated financial statements in respect of its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. Management estimates that both the Entity’s equity and income may differ significantly, should IAS 29 be applied.

c) As explained in Note 2 c), the accompanying financial statements have been prepared taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulator on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2019

(Stated in thousands of pesos)

1. Basis for the preparation of the separate financial statements

As mentioned in Note 2 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, BBVA Banco Francés S.A. (the “Bank”) presents consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA.

These financial statements of the Bank are supplementary to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements mentioned above, and are intended for the purposes of complying with legal and regulatory requirements.

2. Criteria for the preparation of the financial statements

These condensed interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 are prepared pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with a temporary exception for the application of the impairment model in Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (hereinafter “financial reporting framework established by the BCRA”) and International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 29 “Reporting in hyperinflationary economies” and considering, in turn, the accounting standards set forth by the BCRA through Memorandum No. 6/2017 regarding the criterion applicable to recognize uncertain tax provisions and Memorandum No. 7/2019.

As stated in Note 2 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the above mentioned circumstances result in a departure from the IFRS which has a significant impact and may distort the information provided in these separate financial statements.

As this is an interim period, the Bank has opted to present condensed information. Likewise, these separate financial statements contain the additional information and exhibits required by the BCRA through Communication “A” 6324.

To avoid duplication of information already provided, we refer to the consolidated financial statements regarding:

• Functional and presentation currency and unit of account (Note 3 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Accounting judgment and estimates (Note 4 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Significant accounting policies (Note 5 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements), except for the measurement of ownership interests in subsidiaries.

• IFRS issued but not yet effective (Note 6 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Provisions (Note 27 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Fair values of financial instruments (Note 43 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Segment reporting (Note 44 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Subsidiaries (Note 45 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Deposits guarantee regime (Note 49 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Compliance with the provisions of the Argentine Securities Commission – minimum shareholders’ equity and liquid assets (Note 51 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Trust activities (Note 53 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

- 65 -

• Mutual funds (Note 54 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Penalties and administrative proceedings initiated by the BCRA (Note 55 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Subsequent events (Note 56 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

3. Significant accounting policies

The Bank has consistently applied the accounting policies described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, in all the periods presented in these financial statements.

Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all the entities controlled by the Bank. The Bank owns a controlling interest in an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights over, the variable returns from its interest in the company, and has the power to affect the changes in such yields. The Bank reevaluates if its control is maintained when there are changes in any of the conditions mentioned.

Interests in Subsidiaries are measured using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the financial statements include the Bank’s share in profit or loss and OCI of investments accounted for using the equity method, until the date when the significant influence or joint control cease.

The interim financial statements as of March 31, 2019 of the subsidiaries BBVA Francés Valores S.A, BBVA Francés Asset Management S.A. and Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (under liquidation proceedings) were adjusted considering the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA in order to present financial information on an homogeneous basis.

Interim financial information

These financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial information” and pursuant to the policies adopted by the Entity in its annual financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ LIMITED REVIEW REPORT ON CONDENSED INTERIM SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the President and Directors of

BBVA Banco Francés S.A.

Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111

City of Buenos Aires

Taxpayer identification number [C.U.I.T.] 30 -50000319 -3

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying condensed interim separate financial statements of BBVA Banco Francés S.A. (the “Entity”), which include the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2019, the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, exhibits and selected explanatory notes.

The balances and other information as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 are an integral part of the aforementioned financial statements and, therefore, shall be considered in the light of these financial statements.

Board of Directors’ and Management responsibility for the financial statements

The Entity’s Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards established by the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and, particularly, on International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), except for section 5.5 “Impairment of Value” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. Furthermore, the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulator on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions, and Memorandum No. 7/2019, issued by the regulator on April 29, 2019 regarding the valuation of the investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. were taken into account. The Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to error or irregularities.

Scope of our review

Our responsibility is to issue a conclusion on these condensed interim separate financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards set forth by Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE and the “Minimum Standards applicable to External Audits” set forth by the BCRA for the review of interim financial statements. In accordance with such standards, a review is limited primarily to the performance of analytical and other review procedures applied to financial data included in the interim financial statements and inquiries of personnel responsible for the preparation thereof. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards in force, and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the accompanying condensed interim separate financial statements.

- 92 -

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim separate financial statements of BBVA Banco Francés S.A. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the BCRA accounting framework described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw users’ attention to the following information disclosed in the accompanying financial statements:

a) As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, they have been prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the BCRA financial reporting framework, which differs from IFRS as to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment of Value” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions.

b) As explained in Note 2, as provided for by BCRA Communication “A” 6651, the Entity has not applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” to the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. The existence of an inflationary context affects the Entity’s financial position and results of operations and, therefore, the inflation impact may distort the financial information, which should be considered in the interpretation of the information provided by the Entity in these financial statements in respect of its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. Management estimates that both the Entity’s equity and income may differ significantly, should IAS 29 be applied.

c) As explained in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulator on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions.

d) As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, by virtue of the partial sale of the ownership interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining ownership interest was reclassified to “Investments in equity instruments” and stated at its fair value with changes recognized through profit or loss, based on a valuation report of the Company prepared by an external professional. In addition, the valuation adjustment established by Memorandum No. 7/1019, issued on April 29, 2019 by BCRA, was deducted from such remaining ownership interest.

The aforementioned situations do not modify the conclusion stated in the Conclusion paragraph, but it should be considered by those users that apply IFRS to the interpretation of the accompanying financial statements.

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of

BBVA BANCO FRANCÉS S.A.

Registered Office: Av. Córdoba 111

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

1. Identification of the interim financial statements subject to review

In our capacity as members of the Supervisory Committee of BBVA BANCO FRANCÉS S.A. (hereinafter, either “BBVA Francés” or the “Entity”) designated at the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 24, 2019, and in compliance with the terms of Section 294 of the Argentine Companies Law No. 19550, we have reviewed the consolidated condensed interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2019, and the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and their respective supplementary Notes and Exhibits, as well as the separate condensed financial statements of BBVA Francés as of March 31, 2019, and its related Notes and Exhibits.

The Entity is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the above-mentioned financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to financial institutions laid down by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA), as well as for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control as the Entity might deem appropriate to prepare its financial statements free from material misstatements.

2. Scope of our Review

In discharging our duties, we have examined the work performed by the Entity’s external auditors KPMG, who, on May 8, 2019, issued their limited review report on the interim financial statements as of March 31, 2019, with an unqualified opinion.

The review of interim financial statements conducted by such auditors is substantially lesser in scope than an audit and, therefore, is not sufficient to become aware of all substantial issues that might arise during an audit. Therefore, the auditors do not render such an opinion on the financial statements referred to in section I.

Since the Supervisory Committee is not responsible for management control, the review did not encompass the corporate criteria and decisions of the Entity’s several areas, for such issues are the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors.

3. Supervisory Committee’s Opinion

Based on our review, we have no observations to raise on the accompanying interim financial statements of BBVA Francés for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 referred to in the first paragraph of Section 1 of this report. Furthermore, such financial statements reflect all substantial facts and circumstances that are known to us.

- 94 -

4. Emphasis Matter

a) As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements, such financial statements were prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and management in accordance with the financial reporting framework established by the BCRA. These standards differ from the IFRS in that the BCRA has temporarily excluded the application of paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” from the financial reporting framework applicable to financial institutions.

b) As explained in Notes 2.b) and 3 to the consolidated financial statements and in Note 2 to the separate financial statements, in compliance with the provisions of Communication “A” 6651 handed down by the BCRA, in preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Entity has not applied the provisions of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies.” The existence of an inflationary context affects the Entity’s financial position and profit or loss and, therefore, the impact of inflation may distort financial disclosures and shall be taken into consideration in the interpretation of the information the Entity provides in the accompanying financial statements concerning its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. Management estimates that the Entity’s shareholders’ equity and profit or loss may substantially differ if IAS 29 was applied.

c) As explained in Note 2.c) to the consolidated financial statements and in Note 2 to the separate financial statements, such financial statements were prepared in accordance with the terms set out in Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be afforded to uncertain tax positions.

d) As explained in Note 2.d) to the consolidated financial statements and Note 2 to the separate financial statements, in connection with the partial disposal of the equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining portion was reclassified to “Investments in Equity Instruments,” and measured at fair value through profit or loss, based on a valuation report on such company prepared by an external appraiser, net of the valuation adjustment established by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019.

The matters pointed out in the preceding paragraphs do not alter our conclusion stated in the preceding paragraph, but should be taken into account by users who rely on IFRS to understand the accompanying financial statements.

5. Information Required by Applicable Provisions

We hereby report that the figures disclosed in the accompanying financial statements arise from the Entity’s financial records which have been kept, in all formal aspects, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory standards handed down by the BCRA.

The financial statements referred to in paragraph 1 have been transcribed to the Financial Statements for Reporting Purposes book, and arise from the Entity’s accounting records which have been kept, in all formal aspects, in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

Pursuant to the BCRA’s requirements, as of March 31, 2019, the Entity’s shareholders’ equity and minimum cash contra-account in eligible assets required by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) exceed the respective minimum requirements established in applicable standards, as indicated in Note 51 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and in Note 2 to the separate financial statements.

- 95 -

We further represent that, during the reporting period, we have carried out all duties, to the extent applicable, set forth in Section 294 of Argentine Companies Law No. 19550, including attending to Board of Directors’ meetings.

We further represent that any member of this Supervisory Committee is individually authorized to sign, on behalf of such committee, all documents referred to in the first paragraph herein and all copies of this report.

REPORTING SUMMARY FOR

THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDED

MARCH 31, 2019

(Consolidated, stated in thousands of pesos)

On December 12, 2016, the BCRA decided to apply International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 subject to the temporary exception of Section 5.5 - “Impairment”, in IFRS 9 and the International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 29 “Reporting on hyperinflationary economies”, and considering, in turn, the accounting standards set forth by the referred entity through Memorandum No. 6/2017 regarding the criterion to be applied in recognizing uncertain tax positions. Besides, in the particular case of International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 29, the Argentine Central Bank has temporarily excluded its application until January 1, 2020. Additionally, the regulations set forth by the BCRA through Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019, as regards the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. (“Financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA”) has been considered. As a consequence of the application of those standards, BBVA Francés presents its financial statements prepared pursuant to the new financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2019, assets amounted to 387,741,996, liabilities amounted to 343,333,168 and shareholders’ equity amounted to 44,408,828.

On September 25, 2018, BBVA Francés ceased to have control of Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. (VWFS) due to the termination of the two-year term committed by the Bank to provide financing to the company if it failed to diversify its sources of funding.

The Entity offers its products and services through a wide multi-channel distribution network with presence in all the provinces in Argentina and the City of Buenos Aires, with more than 2.9 million customers as of March 31, 2019. That network includes 252 branches providing services for the retail segment and also to small and medium enterprises and organizations. Corporate Banking is divided by industry sector: Consumers, Heavy Industries and Energy, providing customized services for large companies. To supplement the distribution network, the Entity has 14 in-company banks, one point of sales, two points of Customer service booths, 856 ATMs and 838 self-service terminals.

Also, it has a telephone banking service, a modern, safe and functional Internet banking platform, a mobile banking app and a total of 6,153 employees as of March 31, 2019.

The private loans portfolio totaled 185,303,977 pesos as of March 31, 2019, reflecting an increase by 32.90% as compared to the previous year, which allowed the Bank to maintain the market share in 7.7% at the end of the fiscal period.

The growth of the loans portfolio was backed by the growth of the mortgage loans portfolio, which recorded an increase by 87.79% as compared to March 2018, while the credit cards business continued to strengthen, increasing the consumer market share. Pledge loans have dropped during the period mainly due to the effect generated by the deconsolidation of Volkswagen Compañía Financiera.

In terms of portfolio quality, the Entity has managed to maintain very good ratios. The irregular portfolio ratio (Financings with irregular performance/total financing) was 2.21%, with a coverage level (total allowances/irregular performance) of 114% as of March 31, 2019.

The total exposure for securities totaled 64,016,350 pesos at year end, including repos both with the BCRA and Argentina.

- 97 -

Information not Covered by the Review Report.

In terms of liabilities, customers’ resources totaled 278,707,027, with a 74.24% increase over the last twelve months.

The market share of deposits to the private sector reached 7.77% as of March 31, 2019.

Breakdown of changes in the main income/loss items:

BBVA Francés recorded an accumulated profit 6,809,821 as of March 31, 2019, representing a return on average liabilities of 2.5% and a return on average assets of 2.2%.

Net financial income totaled 9,751,251, with an 91% growth as compared to March 2018, mainly driven by the growth of the activity and better spreads.

Net income from services totaled 1,324,023, accounting for a 94.79% increase compared to March 2018. This increase is mainly due to higher income from deposit accounts as a result of both the increase in activity and the rise in prices and commissions charged on credit and debit cards, which is reflected in the increase in the consumer segment share.

On February 1, 2019, within the Divestiture Commitment assumed by Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. and its shareholders to Argentina’s Federal Commission for the Defense of Competition, the amount of 2,344,064 registered, common shares with a nominal value of $ 1 each and one vote per share held by the Bank in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. was transferred to AI ZENITH (Netherlands) B.V. (a company related to Advent International Global Private Equity), accounting for 51% of the Bank’s shareholding in said company.

The total estimated price adjusted at period-end is USD 78.3 million. Out of this amount, the Bank has received USD 46.5 million,and the unpaid balance of USD 31.8 million shall be deferred over the following 5 (five) years and settled as follow. Thirty per cent (30%) shall be paid in Pesos, adjusted by applying the CER (UVA) at an annual nominal rate of 15% and 70% in US Dollars at an annual nominal rate of 10%.

By virtue of the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. the remaining stake has been measured at fair value through profit and loss on the basis of the valuation reports issued by independent appraisers net of the valuation adjustment mandated by the Argentine Central Bank.

Administrative expenses and personnel benefits totaled 4,757,010, a 37.27% growth in relation to those recorded for March 2018. The increase in personnel expenses is mainly a consequence of salary increases agreed with the union. The remaining expenses grow due to the increased volume of activity, the general increase in prices, currency depreciation and increase in utility rates.

Outlook

2019 will be a year of large challenges for Argentina and the financial system.

In this context, BBVA Francés has strengthened its strategy based on the growth and transformation for the purpose of leading a more efficient financial system and with a tendency towards consolidation and offering a better experience to customers through a change in banking.

Along this line, the growth plan will be focused both on obtaining new customers and strengthening the relationship with customers already in the portfolio, for the purpose of increasing cross-selling, improving the quality of service and enhancing efficiency levels as well as the development and training of teams.

- 98 -

Information not Covered by the Review Report.

Besides, the aspiration is also to grow in terms of balance sheet size. Therefore, BBVA Francés will focus on those business niches whose development is in full swing right now and on broader penetration in the case of the products and/or segments with the lowest levels of market share.

When it comes to consumer products, BBVA Francés will continue to work in order to reach a leading position in the mortgage business, see its market share in consumer loans resume an upward trend in terms of growth and maintain its outstanding position in the pledge loan and credit card segment hand in hand with its strategic partners.

When it comes to commercial lines, BBVA Francés will seek to grow its market share and to increase penetration in the smaller companies segment providing solutions in line with their needs and the new business scenario. In this respect, BBVA will focus on maintaining and attracting new customers, increasing the quantity of qualified companies and increasing the quantity of payrolls managed to evolve in terms of cross-sell.

When it comes to liabilities, the plan for 2018 will focus on increasing retail funding with an eye on a more efficient mix and on developing more relevant liabilities in order to take advantage of the transformation that the market is going through.
