Banco BBVA
Argentina S.A. announces Second Quarter 2023 results
Buenos Aires,
August 23, 2023 – Banco BBVA Argentina S.A (NYSE; BYMA; MAE: BBAR; LATIBEX: XBBAR) (“BBVA Argentina” or “BBVA”
or “the Bank”) announced today its consolidated results for the second quarter (2Q23), ended on June 30, 2023.
As of January
1, 2020, the Bank started to inform its inflation adjusted results pursuant to IAS 29 reporting. To facilitate comparison, figures of
comparable quarters of 2022 and 2023 have been updated according to IAS 29 reporting to reflect the accumulated effect of inflation adjustment
for each period up to June 30, 2023.
2Q23 Highlights
| · | BBVA Argentina’s inflation adjusted net income
in 2Q23 was $30.4 billion, 63.3% greater than the $18.6 billion reported on the first quarter of 2023 (1Q23), and 11.4% lower than the
$34.3 billion reported on the second quarter of 2022 (2Q22). BBVA Argentina’s inflation adjusted net income for the first half of
2023 (2H23) totaled $49.0 billion, 10.1% higher than the $44.5 billion reported in the first half of 2022 (2H22). |
| · | In 2Q23, BBVA Argentina posted an inflation adjusted average return on assets (ROAA)
of 3.9% and an inflation adjusted average return on equity (ROAE) of 21.3%. In 2H23, BBVA Argentina posted an inflation adjusted ROAA
of 3.2% and an inflation adjusted ROAE of 17.7%. |
| · | Operating income in 2Q23 was $125.3 billion, 28.6% above the $97.5 billion recorded
in 1Q23 and 81.7% over the $69.0 billion recorded in 2Q22. In 2H23, operating income was $222.8 billion, 69.3% above the $131.6 billion
recorded in 2H22. |
| · | In terms of activity, total consolidated financing
to the private sector in 2Q23 totaled $1.1 trillion, remaining practically stable with a mild fall of 0.3% in real terms compared to 1Q23,
and contracting 3.5% compared to 2Q22. In the quarter, the variation was mainly driven by a decline in overdrafts by 37.5%, offset
by an increase in discounted instruments and other loans by 18.3% and 9.0% respectively. BBVA’s consolidated market
share of private sector loans reached 9.01% as of 2Q23. |
| · | Total consolidated deposits in 2Q23 totaled $2.0 trillion,
increasing 3.3% in real terms during the quarter, and falling 4.3% in the year. Quarterly increase was mainly explained by sight deposits,

1.38%, with a 218.44% coverage ratio. |

total deposits as of 2Q23. |
Message
from the CFO
“On Sunday, August 13,
Javier Milei, the candidate for “La Libertad Avanza”, was the most voted in the primary presidential elections, gaining 30.2%
of total votes, quite above what surveys were estimating. In the second place were the sum of candidates running for “Juntos por
el Cambio”, and in third place ended the sum of candidates for “Union por la Patria”. This implies a high uncertainty
scenario facing the general elections in October, and it is expectable that high volatility will persist in financial indicators in an
already deteriorated macroeconomic environment.
At the same time, the unfavorable
macroeconomic conditions have continued to deteriorate, increasing the risk of economic and financial turbulence ahead of the presidential
elections scheduled for the last quarter of the year. GDP is expected to fall by around 3.5% this year, 100 basis points more than previously
forecast by BBVA Research (-2.5%), due to the impact of the negative weather shock on the production and export of agricultural goods,
coupled with increasing exchange rate restrictions and political uncertainty. In this context, its impact on the external and fiscal accounts
has contributed to accelerate the exchange rate depreciation and inflation, which in annual terms reached 113.4% in July.
In June 2023, private credit
in pesos for the system grew 92% YoY, while BBVA Argentina increased its private loan portfolio in pesos by 113%. Neither the System,
nor Bank’s YoY loan growth exceeded that of inflation (which reached 115.6% YoY as of June 2023). Consolidated market share increased
66bps from 8.35% to 9.01% YoY. Regarding consolidated private deposits, the system grew 108% while the Bank grew 105%, in both cases neither
beating inflation in the year. Consolidated market share of deposits for BBVA Argentina was 7.03%, lower than the 7.16% recorded the prior
year.
Referring to BBVA Argentina
performance, a better operating income in the second quarter 2023 was a product of an improvement in interest income, boosted especially
by government securities and liquidity instruments, and better fee income.
As of June 2023, BBVA Argentina
reached an NPL ratio of 1.38%, way below the last available system NPL (June 2023) of 3.0%. Concerning liquidity and solvency indicators,
the Bank ends the quarter with 84.1% and 28.4% respectively, levels which undoubtedly allow to address business growth in the case of
an economic recovery.
As of the date of this report,
BBVA Argentina has distributed 3 of the 6 installments scheduled on dividend payments, from $50.4 billion total to be paid, according
to the plan published on June 7, 2023, on the terms agreed with the Central Bank.
On digitalization, our service
offering has evolved in such way that by the end of June 2023, retail digital client penetration reached 62%, remaining stable versus
a year back, while that of retail mobile clients reached 56% from 54% in the same period. In the quarter, new client acquisition through
digital channels over traditional ones was 75%, while in 2Q22 it was 70%.
BBVA Argentina has a corporate
responsibility with society, inherent to the Bank’s business model, which bolsters inclusion, financial education and supports scientific
research and culture. The Bank works with the highest integrity, long-term vision and best practices, and is present through the BBVA
Group in the main sustainability indexes.
Lastly, the Bank actively monitors
its business, financial conditions and operating results, in the aim of keeping a competitive position to face contextual challenges in
a decisive year for the Argentine Republic.”

BBVA Argentina 2Q23 net income
was $30.4 billion, increasing 63.3% or $11.8 billion quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and falling 11.4% or $3.9 billion year-over-year (YoY).
This implied a quarterly ROAE of 21.3% and a quarterly ROAA of 3.9%.
Quarterly operating results are
mainly explained by (i) better interest income results through public securities and liquidity instruments, (ii) better fee income, and
(iii) higher income from write-down of assets at amortized cost and at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), mainly due
to the voluntary bond swap offered in June by the National Treasury.
This effect was partially offset
by (i) an increase in other operating expenses, pushed by greater turnover tax due to a higher LELIQ position, (ii) an increase in personnel
expenses, and (iii) an increase in administrative expenses.
Net Income for the period was
highly impacted by income from net monetary position, as inflation increased from 21.7%1 in 1Q23 to 23.8%1
in 2Q23.
1 Source:
Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC).
Lastly, the OCI line totaled
a positive result of $5,226 million, mainly due to results of financial instruments at fair value through OCI, particularly through the
revaluation of inflation-linked (CER) National Treasury bond portfolio.

During the first half of 2023,
BBVA Argentina net income was $49.0 billion, 10.1% higher than the $45.0 billion reported in the first half of 2022. This implied an accumulated
annualized ROAE of 17.7% and a ROAA of 3.2% in 2022, compared to an accumulated annualized ROAE of 18.9% and a ROAA of 3.0% in 2022.
The 69.3% increment in real terms
of the Bank’s operating income is mainly explained by (i) an increase in interest income, mostly due to an increase in the position
and yield of Central Bank instruments, and (ii) better net income from financial instruments at fair value through P&L, explained
both by an increase in the position of BCRA liquidity bills (LELIQ) and CER bonds.
These effects were negatively
offset by (i) greater expenses related to personnel benefits lead by collective agreements with the unions, (ii) other operating expenses,
the latter affected by the increase in turnover tax derived from a greater income from LELIQ interests, and (iii) administrative expenses,
mainly due to expenses related to software and licenses hired through the controlling company.
Another
factor to consider is the income tax line, which had a positive result in 2H22 of $11.7 billion, explained by
the implications of fiscal inflation adjustments in the determination of payable taxes and tax deferrals, recorded during the second quarter
of 2022.
Additionally,
net income is affected by income from net monetary position in a context of higher inflation (50.7% 2023 six month accumulated, versus
36.2% accumulated in the same period of 2022).

Net interest
income for 2Q23 was $185.5 billion, increasing 14.2% or $23.1 billion QoQ, and 58.4% or $68.4 billion YoY. In 2Q23, interest income, in
monetary terms, increased more than interest expense, mainly due to (i) an increase in income from CER/UVA adjustments, especially public
securities with this adjustment, and (ii) a higher position and yield of public securities, in particular of LELIQ. Additionally, there
is a positive effect from income from loans, mainly discounted instruments, and from premium from reverse REPOs.
In 2Q23, interest income totaled
$371.2 billion, increasing 20.3% compared to 1Q23 and 72.9% compared to 2Q22. Quarterly increase is mainly driven by (i) an increase in
CER/UVA adjustments, mainly public securities with this adjustment, and (ii) a higher position in public securities, especially LELIQ.
Income from government securities
increased 16.1% compared to 1Q23, and 68.6% compared to 2Q22. This is partially due to the higher average position in LELIQ, added to
a gradual increase in the monetary policy rate from 78% at the beginning of the quarter up to 97% at quarter end. 94% of these results
are explained by government securities at fair value through OCI (of which 76% are BCRA securities) and 4% are securities at amortized
cost (2027 National Treasury Bonds at fixed rate, National Treasury Bonds Private 0.70 Badlar Rate maturing on November 2027, and National
Treasury Bonds CER 2025, used for reserve requirement integration).
Interest income from loans and
other financing totaled $127.3 billion, increasing 8.0% QoQ and 69.2% YoY. Quarterly growth is mainly due to an increase in discounted
instruments by 35.9%, both through an increase in activity and in rates.
Income from CER/UVA adjustments
increased 56.7% QoQ and 28.4% YoY. Quarterly growth is explained by the delay with which the inflation adjustment effects are recorded,
and impact on the subsequent financial statements, recording the increase in inflation in 1Q23 and part of the increment in 2Q23. 77%
of income from interests from CER/UVA clause adjustments is explained by interests generated by bonds linked to such indexes.
Interest expenses totaled $185.7
billion, denoting a 27.1% increase QoQ and a 90.1% increase YoY. Quarterly increase is described by higher time deposit expenses.
Interests from time deposits
(including investment accounts) explain 77.7% of interest expenses, versus 82.8% the previous quarter. These increased 19.2% QoQ and 113.2%
YoY.
NIM
As of 2Q23, net
interest margin (NIM) was 33.3%, above the 31.3% reported in 2Q23. In 2Q23, NIM in pesos was 34.9% and 1.4% in U.S. dollars.

In 2Q23, the
total differences in quoted prices of gold and foreign currency showed profit for $2.9 billion, increasing 40.7% or $848 million compared
to 2Q22.
The quarterly
increase in foreign exchange and gold gains is mainly explained by a lower loss contained in the From foreign exchange position
line and a higher gain in income from purchase-sale of foreign currency, the latter mainly due to higher activity, especially in Chinese
Yuan transactions. Increases have been partially offset by income from foreign currency forward transactions.

During 2Q23,
personnel benefits and administrative expenses totaled $60.2 billion, increasing 5.6% or $3.2 billion compared to 1Q23, and 11.8% or
$6.3 billion compared to 2Q22.
Personnel benefits
increased 6.3% QoQ, and 5.9% YoY. The quarterly increase is mainly explained by the inflation adjustment of vacation stock provisions.
Increases were also generated by the effect of collective agreement on wages with the unions for 2Q23 by 25.8% (+56% accumulated year
to date).
As of 2Q23, administrative
expenses increased 5.0% QoQ, and 17.9% YoY. The quarterly increase is mainly explained by (i) outsourced administrative expenses, (ii)
greater rent expenses and (iii) increase in software services, all of them related to software, licenses and services contracted with
the Parent company.
The quarterly
efficiency ratio as of 2Q23 was 52.0%, improving compared to the 62.4% reported in 1Q23, and versus the 70.4% reported in 2Q22. The quarterly
improvement is explained by a lower increase in the numerator (expenses) than the denominator (income considering monetary position results),
especially due to a significant increase in interest and fee income.
The accumulated
efficiency ratio as of 2Q23 was 56.6%, improving compared to the 62.4% reported in 1Q23, and versus the 71.3% reported in 2Q22.

In 2Q23, other
operating expenses totaled $29.1 billion, increasing 15.8% or $4.0 billion QoQ, and increasing 31.6% or $7.0 billion YoY.
The key factor
explaining the quarterly growth is in the turnover tax line item, especially due to an increased revenue from LELIQ.
Income from Associates
This line reflects
the results from non-consolidated associate companies. During 2Q23, a profit of $593 million has been reported, mainly due to the Bank’s
participation in BBVA Seguros Argentina S.A., Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A., Interbanking S.A. and Play Digital S.A. and
Openpay Argentina S.A.
Income Tax
Accumulated income
tax during the first six months of 2023 recorded a loss of $26.6 billion. As of 2Q23, income tax expense was $18.1 billion.
The accumulated
effective tax rate in 2023 was 35%2.
Accumulated
income tax during the first six months of 2022 recorded a profit of $11.7 billion. Regarding 2Q22, income tax expenses show a positive
result, affected by the implications of inflation adjustments in the determination of payable taxes and tax deferrals.
2 Income tax, according to IAS 34, is recorded on interim
financial periods over the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate expected for the fiscal year.

Private sector
loans as of 2Q23 totaled $1.1 trillion, slightly decreasing 0.3% or $3.8 billion QoQ, and 3.5% or $39.7 billion YoY.
Loans to the
private sector in pesos fell 1.1% in 2Q23, and 1.6% YoY. During the quarter, the decrease was especially driven by a 37.5% decline in
overdrafts, followed by a 6.8% fall in consumer loans. The fall was partially offset by a 17.8% increase in discounted
instruments and a 10.4% increase in other loans, the latter pushed by floorplanning.
Loans
to the private sector denominated in foreign currency increased 12.1% QoQ and declined 25.3% YoY. Quarterly increase is mainly explained
by a 13.9% growth in financing and prefinancing of exports. Loans to the private sector in foreign currency measured in U.S. dollars
increased 13.0% QoQ and fell 21.4% YoY. The depreciation of the argentine peso versus the U.S. dollar was 18.6% QoQ and 51.2% YoY3.
In 2Q23, total
loans and other financing totaled $1.1 trillion, remaining practically stable with a decline of 0.5% QoQ and falling 4.6% compared to
2Q22.

In real terms,
retail loans (mortgage, pledge, consumer and credit cards) remained stable with a mild fall of 0.6% QoQ and 10.1% YoY in real terms.
During the quarter, decline is mainly explained by a 6.8% decrease in consumer loans, offset by a 1.8% increase in credit cards.
Commercial loans
(overdrafts, discounted instruments, receivables from financial leases, loans for the prefinancing and financing of exports, and other
loans) remained practically stable in the quarter, and falling 5.9% YoY, both in real terms. This is justified by quarterly increases
in discounted instruments and other loans by 18.3% and 9.0% respectively, and offset by a 37.5% decrease in overdrafts.
As observed in
previous quarters, loan portfolios were impacted by the effect of inflation during the second quarter of 2023, which reached 23.8%. In
nominal terms, BBVA Argentina managed to increase the retail, commercial and total loan portfolio by 23.0%, 23.8% and 23.4% respectively
during the quarter, practically reaching quarterly inflation levels.

Non-performing loans include: all loans to borrowers classified as "Deficient Servicing (Stage 3)", "High Insolvency Risk
(Stage 4)", "Irrecoverable" and/or "Irrecoverable for Technical Decision" (Stage 5) according to BCRA debtor
classification system |
As of 2Q23, asset quality ratio
or NPL (total non-performing portfolio / total portfolio) keeps a very good performance at 1.38%. The increase from 1Q23’s 1.31%
is explained by a slight increase in the retail non-performing portfolio.
Coverage ratio (allowances /
total non-performing portfolio) decreased from 220.29% to 218.44% in 2Q23 due to a greater increase in the non-performing portfolio compared
to the increase in allowances.
Cost of risk (loan loss allowances
/ average total loans) reached 4.09% in 2Q23 compared to 3.73% in 1Q23. Even though the portfolio increased, it did so in a lower proportion
than allowances.

2Q23 total public
sector exposure (excluding BCRA) totaled $343.5 billion, increasing 29.3% or $77.9 billion QoQ, and 25.3% or $69.4 billion YoY. The quarterly
increase is explained by an increment in the position of National Treasury bills in pesos, especially with CER adjustment.
Short-term liquidity
is mostly allocated in BCRA instruments, which increased 18.3% QoQ and 10.4% YoY in real terms. Total exposure to the BCRA increased 14.5%
in 2Q23. It is worth noting the increase in LEDIV (Central Bank USD bills settled in pesos through the Reference FX rate at 0% rate),
due to greater activity from agro-exporters through the Government’s program “dólar soja III”.
Exposure to the
public sector (excluding BCRA) represents 11.0% of total assets, above the 9.1% in 1Q23 and above the 9.0% in 2Q22.

As
of 2Q23, total deposits reached $2.0 trillion, increasing 3.3% or $64.1 billion QoQ, and falling 4.3% or $90.2 billion YoY.
Private
non-financial sector deposits in 2Q23 totaled $2.0 trillion, growing 3.5% QoQ, and falling 3.4% YoY.
Private
non-financial sector deposits in pesos totaled $1.6 trillion, increasing 6.7% compared to 1Q23, and falling 2.1% compared to 2Q22. The
quarterly change is mainly affected by a 19.7% increase in savings accounts (partially pushed by exporters’ and agricultural producers’
deposits linked to the “dolar soja III” program), and a 14.8% increase in checking accounts, partially offset by a fall in
investment accounts by 18.9%.
Private
non-financial sector deposits in foreign currency expressed in pesos fell 8.5% QoQ and 9.1% YoY. Measured in U.S. dollars, these deposits
declined 7.8% QoQ, and 4.4% YoY.

The mild decrease
in the quarter is mostly explained by the 0.4% decline in equity (explained by dividend payments), offset by a 16.8% increase in financing
received from local financial institutions taken by consolidated companies, followed by a 123.9% increase in banks and international
organizations.
