Asset Quality

In 1Q21, Banco Macro’s non-performing to total financing ratio (under Central Bank rules) reached a level of 0.92%, up from 0.78% in 4Q20, and down from the 1.14% posted in 1Q20.

Consumer portfolio non-performing loans increased 16b.p. (up to 0.89% from 0.73%) while Commercial portfolio non-performing loans increased 10b.p. in 4Q20 (up to 1% from 0.9%).

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 as 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) reached to 387.82% in 1Q21. Write-offs over total loans totaled 0.36%.

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 2020 20-F)

· 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, the Government<br> established the “social, preventive and compulsory isolation” measure until March<br> 31, 2020, which was then extended until June 7, 2020. Along with health protection rules,<br> tax and financial measures were taken to mitigate the impact on the economy associated with<br> the pandemic, including public direct financial assistance measures for part of the population,<br> the establishment of financial and fiscal facilities for both individuals and companies.<br> As regards measures related to the Entity’s business, the BCRA established maturities<br> extensions, froze the mortgage loan installments and encouraged banks to lend to companies<br> at reduced rates. In addition, the distribution of dividends of the finance institutions<br> was suspended until June 30, 2020. In addition, in the mandatory quarantine context, the<br> BCRA ruled that financial institutions would not be able to open their branches for public<br> service during that period and should continue to provide services to users remotely. They<br> could also trade with each other and their clients in the exchange market remotely. During<br> quarantine, remote trading of stock exchanges and capital markets authorized by the CNV,<br> the custodians and capital market agents registered with the CNV was admitted. In view of<br> the extension of mandatory quarantine, the BCRA then decided that financial institutions<br> would open their branches from Friday, April 3, 2020 for public attention through previous<br> appointments obtained by the Bank’s website. The Bank is developing its activities<br> under the conditions detailed above, giving priority to the compliance of social isolation<br> measures by its employees, with the primary objective of taking care of the public health<br> and well-being of all its stakeholders (employees, suppliers, customers, among others). To<br> this end, it has put in place contingency procedures and has enabled its staff to carry out<br> their tasks remotely. From a commercial point of view, it has emphasized maintaining a close<br> relationship with its customers, trying to respond to their needs at this difficult time,<br> sustaining all virtual channels of care to ensure operability and good response to requirements,<br> monitoring compliance with their business obligations and monitoring the active portfolio<br> in order to detect possible delays in collection and set new conditions for them. Considering<br> the size of the abovementioned situation, the Bank’s Management estimates that this<br> situation could have an impact on its operations and the financial situation and the results<br> of 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.
