Asset Quality
In 4Q21, Banco Macro’s non-performing to total financing ratio (under Central Bank rules) reached a level of 1.30%, down from 1.67% in 3Q21, and higher than the 0.78% posted in 4Q20.
Consumer portfolio non-performing loans improved 65b.p. (down to 1.4% from 2.05%) while Commercial portfolio non-performing loans deteriorated 43b.p. in 4Q20 (up to 0.99% from 0.57%).
The improvement in Consumer non-performing loans is explained by the sale of part of the consumer portfolio.
During 2020 Consumer portfolio non-performing loans ratio were positively impacted by 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 was considered as non performing and the possibility to refinance outstanding credit card balances. These measures were in place until March 31^st^, 2021.

The coverage ratio (measured as total allowances under Expected Credit Losses over Non Performing loans under Central Bank rules) improved to 209.61 in 4Q21. Write-offs over total loans totaled 0.16%.
The Bank is committed to continue working in this area to maintain excellent asset quality standards.

| o | COVID19<br> Adjustments: |
|---|
During FY2020, in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, the Bank resolved to record a special adjustment (forward looking) based on the possible credit deterioration of those clients who showed higher vulnerability or complications arising from the COVID19 pandemic. This adjustment (Ps.5.6 billion as of December 31^st^, 2020) was based on estimations of future behavior of clients that had refinanced their debts or extended their maturities in accordance with Central Bank measures adopted in March 2020.
In March 2021, as the period for mandatory refinancing ended, the Bank started to assign loan loss provisions to those clients who were not performing on their loans. Given that as of December 31^st^ 2021 the extraordinary circumstances under which the COVID19 adjustment originated were considered to be over the Bank decided not to record any adjustment.
| o | Uncertainty<br> arising from Foreign Debt refinancing: |
|---|
As of December 31s, 2021 the Bank decided to record an adjustment (forward looking) with the intention of increasing loan loss provisions determined by the Expected Credit Losses model, with the intention of reflecting a possible adverse scenario resulting from a non-agreement with the International Monetary Fund and the ongoing foreign debt renegotiation.
As of the date of this financial statements the Bank considered the macroeconomic imbalances that could arise from the hefty interest and principal payments due that Argentina should make to the IMF as established in the original loan agreement in 2018, in the event that a deal is not reached for the refinancing of its debt.
The Bank also considered the possible effects that a no deal could have on the level of foreign reserves, which are deemed low enough already, uncertainty around the possibility of reaching an agreement, which in addition should be passed as law through Congress.
In this context of great uncertainty, which is not fully captured by the forward-looking Expected Credit Losses models used by the Bank, Banco Macro decided to record a Ps.2 billion additional adjustment on Provisions for loan losses based on expert judgement. This amount was estimated using an adverse macroeconomic scenario with a 100% weighing with its implications in GDP, CPI and interest rates, and calculation the effect of the afore mentioned situation in expected credit losses of those clients which show higher vulnerability and are classified as stage 2 and 3.
Ajuste Incertidumbre sobre Reestructuración de Obligaciones Externas
Frente a este escenario de incertidumbre que no es capturado íntegramente por los modelos prospectivos usados por la Entidad en el ajuste de los parámetros utilizados en el cálculo de las PCE, se decidió registrar al cierre de ejercicio un ajuste adicional, basado en el criterio experto, de $1.986.000.
El monto del ajuste fue determinado utilizando (i) un escenario macroeconómico adverso en función de lo mencionado en los párrafos precedentes con una ponderación del 100%, con su consecuente efecto en las variables de construcción de los modelos, en especial los cambios en el PBI y los niveles de precios y tasas de interés futuros y (ii) estimando el efecto de la
