Asset Quality

In 1Q20, Banco Macro’s non-performing to total financing ratio (under Central Bank rules) reached a level of 1.36%, down from 2.07% in 4Q19, and the 2.03% posted in 1Q19.

Consumer portfolio non-performing loans improved 132b.p. (down to 1.36% from 2.68%) while Commercial portfolio non-performing loans were almost unchanged in 1Q20 (up to 1.36% from 1.34%).

Consumer portfolio non-performing loans ratio improved significantly due to 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

The coverage ratio (measured as total allowances under Expected Credit Losses over Non Performing loans under Central Bank rules) reached 173.49% in 1Q20. Write-offs over total loans totaled 0.22%.

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

·     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 (hereinafter, 12mECL). The Bank’s policies for determining if there has been a significant increase in credit risk are set out in note 51.1.1.6 in our 20-F. The 12mECL is the portion of the lifetime expected credit loss (hereinafter, LTECL) that represents the ECL that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. Both the LTECL and 12mECL are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis, depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments. The Bank’s policy for grouping financial assets measured on a collective basis is explained in note 51.1.1.1 in our 20-F. The Bank has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. This is further explained in note 51.1.1.6 in our 20-F Based on the above process, the Bank groups its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Purchased or originated credit impaired (hereinafter, POCI), as described below:

o Stage 1: when financial instruments<br> subject to impairment according to section 5.5 of IFRS 9 are first recognized, the Bank<br> recognizes an allowance based on 12mECL. Stage 1 financial instruments also include facilities<br> where the credit risk has improved and the financial instrument has been reclassified<br> from Stage 2.
o Stage 2: when a financial instrument<br> has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Bank records an<br> allowance for the LTECL. Stage 2 financial instruments also include facilities, where<br> the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 3.
--- ---
o Stage 3: financial instruments considered<br> credit-impaired. The Bank records an allowance for the LTECL.
--- ---
o POCI: financial instruments that<br> are credit impaired on initial recognition. POCI assets are recorded at fair value at<br> original recognition and interest income is subsequently recognized based on a credit-adjusted<br> EIR. The ECL allowance is only recognized or released to the extent that there is a subsequent<br> change in the expected credit losses. It is worthwhile to mention that the Bank has not<br> purchased nor originated POCI financial instruments.
--- ---

For financial instruments for which the Bank has no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding amount, or a proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial instrument is reduced.

Regulatory Changes

·      Measures implemented to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

o Closure of bank branches.<br> On March 20, 2020, the Central Bank determined that bank branches in Argentina should<br> remain closed. From April 3 until April 10, 2020, branches were allowed to open with<br> limited hours, only for the attention of beneficiaries of pension schemes and certain<br> retirement benefits and beneficiaries of aid programs funded by the ANSES. During this<br> period, the rest of the banking activities were performed only through digital means.<br> Beginning on April 13, 2020, financial entities have been allowed to reopen only for<br> a limited number of services, and only by prior appointment, with teller services initially<br> restricted to pensioners and social plan beneficiaries, provided that certain health<br> and security requirements are complied with. Additionally, beginning on April 20, 2020,<br> the Central Bank has allowed the provision of teller services exclusively for deposits<br> in, and withdrawals from, foreign currency accounts.
o Postponement of loan payments.<br> The Central Bank postponed payments on loans maturing during the national lockdown period,<br> and suspended the accrual of punitive interests on loans with maturity between April<br> 1 and June 30, 2020.
--- ---
o ATM fees. The Central Bank<br> determined that, until June 30, 2020, any operation effected through ATMs will not be<br> subject to any charges or fees.
--- ---
o Mortgage loan installments and mortgage foreclosures. The government froze the monthly installments of mortgage<br> loans over properties designated as the borrower’s only and permanent residence<br> and prohibited mortgage foreclosures, until September 30, 2020. The debit balance resulting<br> from the freezing of the installment increases may be refinanced in up to nine consecutive<br> monthly installments, upon request by the borrower.
--- ---
o Credit card payments. The<br> Central Bank determined that the unpaid balances of credit card financings due between<br> April 13 and April 30, 2020 will be automatically refinanced in nine equal consecutive<br> monthly installments beginning after a three-month grace period. Interest rates on such<br> unpaid balances may not exceed an annual nominal rate of 43%.
--- ---
o Prohibition of bank account closures. The government prohibited the closure and disabling of bank accounts and the imposition<br> of penalties until April 30, 2020.
--- ---
o Time deposits minimum rate.<br> The Central Bank ruled that all non-adjustable time deposits under Ps.1 million made<br> by individuals as of April 20, 2020 will have a minimum interest rate equivalent to the<br> 70% of the average LELIQ’s tendering during the week prior to the date in which<br> the deposit was made.
--- ---
o Family emergency income and extraordinary subsidies. The government established (i) a stipend of Ps.10,000, for the month of<br> April 2020, for people who are unemployed or working informally, and self-employed workers<br> who are not currently generating or receiving other income; and (ii) an extraordinary<br> subsidy of Ps.3,000, for the month of April 2020, for beneficiaries of pension schemes<br> and certain retirement benefits.
--- ---
o Prohibition of dismissals and suspensions. The government prohibited dismissals of employees until May 30, 2020.
--- ---
o Labor market emergency assistance program. The government created a fund of specific application within the FOGAR (acronym<br> in Spanish for Fondo de Garantías Argentino), with the aim of backing financings<br> provided to PyMEs by financial entities in order to pay salaries.
--- ---

·     Easing of limitations on holding Central Bank notes. Simultaneously with the creation of the fund within the FOGAR, the Central Bank eased the limitations on banks’ holdings of notes from the Central Bank (LELIQ), in order to make liquidity available and encourage the provision of credit lines to PyMEs. More recently in May 2020 the Central Bank established that Banks could set up all reserve requirements from time deposits with Leliqs.

·     Reserverequirements. The Central Bank established that the facilities granted at a preferential rate (not more than 24% per year) within the framework of Communication “A” 6937 to PyMEs and households may be deducted from reserve requirements, considering 130% of the amount when the proceeds are for the payment of salaries and the granting entity is the payment agent of those salaries.

·      Distribution of Dividends by Financial Institutions. In March 2020 through Communication “A” 6939, the Central Bank of Argentina suspended, until June 30, 2020, the distribution of dividends by financial entities, including the Bank. Additionally on June 4, 2020 the Central Bank through Communication “A” 7035 extended the limitation to pay dividends until December 31, 2020.

·     Classification of Debtors. The Central Bank established for regulatory purposes new rules regarding the criteria for debtor classification and provisioning until September 30, 2020. These rules provide an additional 60 days period of non-payment before a debtor is required to be reclassified, and include all financings to commercial portfolio clients and loans granted for consumption or housing purposes.
