2Q20 Earnings<br> Release

In 2Q20 Net Income from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss totaled a Ps.2 billion loss, improving from the Ps.4.3 billion loss posted in the previous quarter. This improvement can be traced to a lower loss related to sale of financial assets at fair value as a consequence of the inflation adjustment applied to our Leliq holdings (lower inflation was observed during 2Q20) and a Ps.616 increase in profit from government securities.

In 2Q20 Banco Macro’s administrative expenses plus employee benefits totaled Ps.8.6 billion, 11% or Ps.840 million higher than the previous quarter, due to higher (15%) expenses related to employee benefits (salary increases) and higher administrative expenses (3%).

Asset Quality

In 2Q20, Banco Macro’s non-performing to total financing ratio (under Central Bank rules) reached a level of 1.52%, up from 1.36% in 1Q20, and down from the 2.12% posted in 2Q19.

Consumer portfolio non-performing loans deteriorated 14b.p. (up to 1.50% from 1.36%) while Commercial portfolio non-performing loans deteriorated 18 b.p. in 2Q20 (up to 1.54% from 1.36%).

Consumer portfolio non-performing loans ratio continues to be positively impacted by recent measures adopted by the Central Bank of Argentina in the current Covid19 pandemic context, particularly the 60 day grace period that was added to debtor classification before a loan is considered non performing and the possibility to refinance outstanding credit card balances.

The coverage ratio (measured as total allowances under Expected Credit Losses over Non Performing loans under Central Bank rules) improved to 210.65% in 2Q20. Write-offs over total loans totaled 0.21%.

The Bank is committed to continue working in this area to maintain excellent asset quality standards.

Expected Credit Losses (E.C.L) (I.F.R.S.9)

The Bank records an allowance for expected credit losses for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss, together with loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, in this section all referred to as ‘financial instruments’. Equity instruments are not subject to impairment under IFRS 9. The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected credit loss), unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the allowance is based on the 12 months expected credit loss.(For further information please see our 2019 20-F)

The table below shows, under the E.C.L model, the allowances for credit losses with their respective classification in stages, and the impact the transition to I.F.R.S. 9 has on earnings.

· Covid-19: In early March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized Coronavirus (Covid-19)<br> as a pandemic that is severely affecting almost all countries around the world. The spread<br> of this disease globally has forced the authorities to take drastic health and financial<br> measures to contain and mitigate its effects on health and economic activity. Particularly<br> in the Argentine Republic, on March 19, 2020, through Decree No. 297/2020,<br> the Government established the “social, preventive and compulsory isolation”<br> measure until March 31, 2020, which was then extended until June 7, 2020. Along<br> with health protection rules, tax and financial measures were taken to mitigate the impact<br> on the economy associated with the pandemic, including public direct financial assistance<br> measures for part of the population, the establishment of financial and fiscal facilities<br> for both individuals and companies. As regards measures related to the Entity’s<br> business, the BCRA established maturities extensions, froze the mortgage loan installments<br> and encouraged banks to lend to companies at reduced rates. In addition, the distribution<br> of dividends of the finance institutions was suspended until June 30, 2020. In addition,<br> in the mandatory quarantine context, the BCRA ruled that financial institutions would<br> not be able to open their branches for public service during that period and should continue<br> to provide services to users remotely. They could also trade with each other and their<br> clients in the exchange market remotely. During quarantine, remote trading of stock exchanges<br> and capital markets authorized by the CNV, the custodians and capital market agents registered<br> with the CNV was admitted. In view of the extension of mandatory quarantine, the BCRA<br> then decided that financial institutions would open their branches from Friday, April 3,<br> 2020 for public attention through previous appointments obtained by the Bank’s<br> website. The Bank is developing its activities under the conditions detailed above, giving<br> priority to the compliance of social isolation measures by its employees, with the primary<br> objective of taking care of the public health and well-being of all its stakeholders<br> (employees, suppliers, customers, among others). To this end, it has put in place contingency<br> procedures and has enabled its staff to carry out their tasks remotely. From a commercial<br> point of view, it has emphasized maintaining a close relationship with its customers,<br> trying to respond to their needs at this difficult time, sustaining all virtual channels<br> of care to ensure operability and good response to requirements, monitoring compliance<br> with their business obligations and monitoring the active portfolio in order to detect<br> possible delays in collection and set new conditions for them. Considering the size of<br> the abovementioned situation, the Bank’s Management estimates that this situation<br> could have an impact on its operations and the financial situation and the results of<br> the Bank, which are under analysis, and will ultimately, depend on the extent an duration<br> of the health emergency and the success of the measures taken and taken in

The interest rate<br> will be determined according to the year over year increase in the company’s revenues<br> (with a maximum rate of 15%).
