Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders´ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F-1

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of the expected credit loss allowance

As described in Notes 2.b and 45 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s expected credit loss allowance was Ps. 138,300,714 thousand as of December 31, 2023. Management assesses impairment by estimating the expected credit loss allowance in accordance with IFRS 9. Management’s models to determine the expected credit loss allowance involve significant judgement in relation to making assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward-looking factor.

The principal considerations for our determination that the valuation of the expected credit loss allowance is a critical audit matter are: (i) there was significant judgment by management in assessing impairment by estimating the expected credit losses; and (ii) the audit procedures performed related to the assessment of the valuation of the expected credit loss allowance involved significant auditor judgment and effort, as well as the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the expected credit loss allowance, including controls over the data and management’s assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward-looking factor. These procedures also included, among others; (i) evaluating the reasonableness of the process followed by management to develop macroeconomic scenarios; (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the historical and projected macroeconomic data in the scenarios developed by management; and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data provided by management. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the reasonableness of the process and the projected macroeconomic scenarios.

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for publication through Minutes of Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 706 dated April 26, 2024, except for the application of IAS 29 to re-measure the consolidated financial statements in the current currency as of September 30, 2024, as explained in Note 1.1.(a), which was approved by the Board of Directors on Meeting No.727 dated November 26, 2024.

1.1.    BASIS FOR PREPARATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance and in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC). All the IFRSs in force as of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements have been applied.

In Argentina, the Group is subject to the provisions of Article 2, Section I, Chapter I of Title IV: Periodic Information Regime of the National Securities Commission (CNV) regulations and it is required to present its financial statements in accordance with the valuation and disclosure criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.

The Argentine Central Bank, through Communication “A” 5541 and its amendments, established a convergence plan towards the adoption of IFRS as issued by the IASB, and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC, for the entities under its supervision, effective for fiscal years commencing January 1, 2018, with certain exceptions.

The Group has presented its local financial statements under these rules on March 4, 2024. Shareholders’ equity under the rules of the Argentine Central Bank is presented in Note 52.8.

Management believes that these consolidated financial statements fairly present the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows, in accordance with IFRS.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Groups´ accounting policies.

The areas involving a greater degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant for the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a)    Purpose of these recast consolidated financial statement

On April 26, 2024, the Company filed with the SEC its 2023 Form 20-F which included its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the three-years in the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”). These Audited Consolidated Financial Statements were presented in current Argentine pesos at the end of the reporting year (December 31, 2023) in accordance with IAS 29, as further described in Note 1.c).

The Company expects to file a Form F-3 in November 2024. According to SEC rules, the Company will incorporate by reference into the F-3 its latest unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2024. These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements were presented in current Argentine pesos at the end of the reporting period (September 30, 2024) in accordance with IAS 29. As a result, the Company is required to recast its Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which will also be incorporated by reference in the Form F-3, to measure them in equivalent purchasing power units as of September 30, 2024, the most recent financial period incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, in accordance with IAS 29 (the “Recast Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”).

The National Consumer Price Index as of September 30, 2024 was 7,122.2 and the cumulative variation in prices for the nine-month period then ended was 202%

(b)    Going Concern

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Group´s ability to continue as a going concern.

(c)    Measurement Unit

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of the current measurement unit as of the reporting period-end, irrespective of whether they are based on the historical cost or the current cost method. Accordingly, in general terms, non-monetary items should be adjusted for inflation occurring since the acquisition date or since the revaluation date, as the case may be. These requirements are also applicable to the comparative information reported in the financial statements. According to IAS 29, monetary assets and liabilities are not required to be restated, for they are stated in the measurement unit as of the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements will be adjusted on the basis of such agreements. Non-monetary items measured at their fair values at the end of the reporting period, such as net realizable value or otherwise, will not be restated. The other non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated by applying a general price index. The income (loss) from the net monetary position will be charged to net income for the reporting period in a separate item.

In order to conclude whether a given economy qualifies as hyperinflationary pursuant to the terms of IAS 29, the standard sets forth certain factors that should be considered, including a three-year cumulative inflation rate reaching or exceeding 100%.

The Group has applied IAS 29, Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary Economy, in preparing these consolidated financial statements for all years presented.

These consolidated financial statements are based on a historical cost.

Item IFRS 15 Translation of Foreign Currencies: Modifies the practical solution to not translate the financial statements from the recording currency to the functional currency, in order to be precise and make it clearer that in the event that they do not have subsidiaries or controllers, they must also meet the requirement of not having users who require the financial statements considering the effects of the translation to the functional currency.
Publication date March 2023.
Effective date As of January 2023.
Impact It does not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements. IAS 33 - Earnings per Share
--- ---
Item Establishes rules for calculating and presenting basic earnings per share (EPS), both in ordinary and dilution situations. Certain aspects related to preferred dividends are clarified and indications are given on how to determine if certain financial instruments are dilutive or not for the EPS calculation. Additionally, it is specified that the shares issued for the translation of a financial instrument must be considered in the calculation of the basic EPS from the date the corresponding contract is signed.

Effective date As of January 2023.
Impact It does not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements. IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts.”

On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted IFRS 17 ‘Insurance Contracts’. As required by the Standard, the Group applied the requirements retrospectively as from the transition date (January 1, 2022) with comparative data for periods before the transition date presented as previously published under IFRS 4 ‘Insurance Contracts’. IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ requires that a third statement of financial position as of the transition date of January 1, 2022 to be disclosed, since the impact of the application is not material the Group decided not to present such statement.

The Group has determined that reasonable and supportable information was available for all contracts in force at the transition date. Accordingly, the Group has: identified, recognized and measured each group of insurance contracts and each insurance acquisition cash flows asset in this category as if IFRS 17 had always applied; derecognized any existing balances that would not exist if IFRS 17 had always applied; and recognized any resulting net difference in equity. At the transition date, the implementation of this Standard was not material for the Group.

1.2.    CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries are those entities, including structured entities, where the Group is in control because (i) it has the power to direct relevant activities of the investee, which significantly affect its returns; (ii) it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns for its interest in the investee; and (iii) it has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. The existence and effect of the substantive rights, including potential voting rights, are considered when evaluating whether the Group has control over another entity. For a right to be substantive, the holder must have the practical ability to exercise it whenever necessary to make decisions on the direction of the relevant activities of the entity. The Group may be in control of an entity even when possessing less than the majority of the voting rights.

F-16

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Likewise, the protective rights of other investors, such as those related to substantive changes in the activities of the investee or applied only in exceptional circumstances, do not prevent the Group from having control over an investee. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the control is transferred to the Group, and they cease to be consolidated as of the date on which the control ceases.

The subsidiaries which have been consolidated in these Consolidated Financial Statements are detailed in Note 15.

For the purpose of consolidating its financial statements, the Group used the subsidiaries’ financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The accounting policies applied by Sudamericana Holding SA. are established by the National Insurance Superintendency and have been adjusted to those applied by the Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group’s companies were eliminated. See Note 51.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholder’s equity and consolidated statement of financial position, respectively.

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 “Business combinations”, the acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and, in a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities assumed by the acquirer with the previous owners of the investee, and the equity instruments issued by the acquirer. The transaction costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs have been incurred and the services have been received, except for the transaction costs incurred to issue equity instruments that are deducted from equity, and the transaction costs incurred to issue debt that are deducted from their carrying amount.

1.3.    TRANSACTIONS WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized within equity attributable to owners of the Group.

1.4.    ASSOCIATES

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant direct or indirect influence, but not control; generally, this implies holding between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the associates includes the goodwill identified in the acquisition less the accumulated impairment losses, if any. Dividends received from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Other changes subsequent to the acquisition of the Group’s interest in the net assets of an associate are recognized as follows: (i) the Group’s interest in the profits or losses of the associates is accounted under Share of Profit from Associates and Joint Ventures in the consolidated statement of income and (ii) the Group’s interest in other comprehensive income is recognized in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and presented separately. However, when the Group’s share in losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in it, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

F-17

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unrealized profits on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment in the transferred asset.

1.5.    SEGMENT REPORTING

An operating segment is a component of an entity (a) that conducts business activities from which it can earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same entity); (b) whose operating income is regularly reviewed by the Group´s CODM (chief operating decision maker) to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (c) for which confidential financial information is available.

Segment reporting is presented consistently with the internal reports submitted to the Board of Directors (CODM of the Group), which is responsible for making the Group’s strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments.

1.6.    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(a)    Functional Currency and Presentation Currency

The figures included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group´s entities are stated in their functional currency, that is, the currency used in the primary economic environment where it operates. The consolidated financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos (Ps.), which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. See Note 1.1.

(b)    Transactions and Balances

The transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Profits and losses in foreign currency resulting from the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency at closing exchange rate, are recognized under “Exchange rate differences on gold and foreign currency” in the statement of income, except when they are deferred in equity by transactions which qualify as cash flows hedges, if appropriate.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the US dollar defined by the Argentine Central Bank at the closing of operations on the last business day of each month.

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, balances in U.S. Dollars were translated at the reference exchange rate (Ps.808.48 and Ps.177.13, respectively) established by the Argentine Central Bank. Foreign currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into this currency using exchange rates reported by the Argentine Central Bank.

1.7.    CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The item Cash and Due from Banks includes the available cash and bank deposits freely available, which are short-term instruments with maturity less than three months from the origination date.

The assets disclosed under cash and due from banks are accounted for at their amortized cost which approximates its fair value.

1.8.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Initial Recognition

The Group recognizes a financial asset or liability in its consolidated financial statements, as appropriate, when it becomes part of the contractual clauses of the financial instrument. Purchases and sales are recognized at the trading date when the Group buys or sells the instruments.

F-18

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures financial assets or liabilities at fair value, plus or less, for instruments not recognized at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, such as fees and commissions.

When the fair value differs from the cost value of the initial recognition, the Group recognizes the difference as follows:

a.    When the fair value is according to the market value of the financial asset or liability or is based on a valuation technique solely using market values, the difference is recognized as profit or loss, as appropriate.

b.    In other cases, the difference is deferred and the recognition over time of the profit and loss is individually determined. The difference is amortized over the life of the instrument until the fair value can be measured based on market values.

Financial Assets

a.    Debt Securities

The Group considers as debt securities those instruments considered financial liabilities for the issuer, such as loans, government and private securities and bonds.

Classification

As established by IFRS 9, the Group classifies financial assets according to how they are subsequently measured: at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit or loss, based on:

•the Group’s business model to manage financial assets; and

•the characteristics of contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

Business Model

The Business Model refers to the way in which the Group manages a set of financial assets to reach a specific business objective. It represents the way the Group manages its financial instruments to generate cash flows.

Business models that the Group can follow are listed below:

•Hold the instruments to collect its contractual cash flows;

•Hold the instruments in the portfolio to collect contractual cash flows and, in turn, sell them when deemed convenient; or;

•Hold the instruments for trading.

The Group’s Business Model does not depend on the intentions that it may have for an individual instrument. Therefore, this condition is not an instrument-by-instrument classification approach, but it is determined from a higher level of aggregation.

The Group only reclassifies an instrument when, and only when, the business model for managing financial assets is modified. Such change is not expected to be frequent, and changes have not been recorded during this fiscal year.

Characteristics of Contractual Cash Flows

The Group assesses whether the cash flow of grouped instruments is not significantly different from the flow that would receive solely for interest and capital; otherwise, they shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Based on the foregoing, there are three categories of Financial Assets:

(i)    Financial assets measured at amortized cost:

F-19

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when:

(a)    the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

(b)    the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The amortized cost of a financial asset is equal to its acquisition cost less its accumulated amortization plus accrued interest (calculated according to the effective interest method), net of any impairment loss.

(ii)    Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when:

(a)    the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

(b)    the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows which are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding amount.

These instruments are initially recognized at their fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Profits and losses arising from the changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income within a separate equity component. Impairment losses or reversals, income for interest and exchange profits and losses are recognized through profit or loss. Upon its sale or disposal, the accumulated profit or loss previously recognized through other comprehensive income is reclassified to the statement of income.

(iii)    Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise:

• Instruments held for trading;

•Instruments specifically designated at fair value through profit or loss; and

•Instruments whose contractual terms do not represent cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and any gain o loss is recognized in the statement of income as they are realized.

The Group classifies a financial instrument as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred for the main purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the short term, or if it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are jointly managed and for which there is evidence of short-term earnings, or is a derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument. Derivative instruments and held-for-trading securities are classified as held for trading and measured at fair value.

b.    Equity Instruments

Equity instruments are so considered by its issuer; this means that they are instruments which do not contemplate a contractual obligation to pay cash, and which evidence a residual interest on the issuer’s asset after deducting its entire liabilities.

Such instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except when, at the time of the initial recognition, the irrevocable option had been exercised to measure them at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. This method is only applicable when the instruments are not held for trading and income shall be accounted in other comprehensive

F-20

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

income with no reclassification to profit or loss, even when they are realized. Dividends receivable arising from such instruments shall be recognized through profit or loss solely when the Group is entitled to collect the payment.

Financial Liabilities

Classification

The Group classifies their financial liabilities at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, except for:

•Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial instruments.

•Liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets not complying with the derecognition criteria.

•Financial guarantee contracts.

•Loan commitments at a lower than market rate.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss: the Group may choose to use, at the beginning, the irrevocable option to designate a liability at fair value through profit or loss, if, and only if, in doing so, it reflects a better measurement of financial information because:

• the Group eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistency which would otherwise be exposed in the valuation;

•if financial assets and liabilities are managed and their performance is assessed on a fair value basis, according to a documented investment or risk management strategy; or

•a host contract contains one or more embedded derivative instruments, and the Group has opted for designating the entire contract at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial guarantee contracts: Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts requiring the issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder for the loss incurred when a specific debtor does not comply with its payment obligation on maturity, in accordance with the original or amended terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of the loss allowance and the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized.

Derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial Assets

A financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets, is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay all of the cash flows received immediately to a third party under a pass-through agreement; and all the risks and rewards of the asset have also been substantially transferred, or, in case all the risks and rewards of the asset had not been substantially transferred or retained, the control of the asset has been transferred.

When the contractual rights of receiving the cash flows generated by the asset have been transferred, or a transfer agreement has been executed, the entity assesses if it has retained, and to what extent, the risks and awards inherent in asset ownership. When substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in asset ownership have not been transferred or retained, nor has control of the asset been transferred, the asset continues to be recognized to the extent of its continued involvement over it.

In this case, the related liability is also recognized. The transferred asset and the related liability are measured in such a way so as to reflect the rights and obligations that the Group had retained.

F-21

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A continuing involvement that takes the form of a collateral on the transferred asset is measured as the smallest amount between (i) the original carrying amount of the asset, and (ii) the maximum amount of consideration received that would be required to be returned.

Financial Liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation, has been cancelled, or has expired. When an existing financial liability is exchanged by another of the same borrower under significantly different conditions, or the conditions are significantly modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a new liability is recognized, the difference between the value in books of the initial financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

1.9.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Financial instruments, including foreign currency contracts, futures, forward contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, interest rate options and foreign currency options are recorder at their fair value.

All derivative financial instruments are recorder as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative, against the agreed price. The changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in profit or loss.

In these consolidated financial statements, the Group has not applied hedge accounting.

1.10.    REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

Reverse Repurchase Transactions

According to the derecognition principles in IFRS 9, these transactions are considered as secured borrowings, since the risk has not been transferred to the counterpart.

Financing granted through reverse repurchase transactions are recorded under “Repurchase Transactions” accounts, classified by counterparty and considering the asset received as collateral.

At the closing of each month, accrued interest receivable is imputed to the “Repurchase Transactions” account with offsetting entry in “Interest Income”.

The underlying assets received for the reverse repurchase transactions will be recorded in Off-Balance Sheet Items. The assets received that have been sold by the Group are not deducted, but derecognized only when the repo transaction finishes, recording a liability in kind for the obligation to deliver the security sold.

Repurchase Transactions

Financing received through repurchase transactions are recorded under “Repurchase Transactions” accounts, classified by counterparty and considering the asset pledged as collateral.

In these transactions, when the receiver of the underlying asset obtains the right to sell it or pledge it as collateral, this is reclassified to the “Financial Assets Pledged as Collateral” accounts.

At the closing of each month, accrued interest payable is imputed to the “Repurchase Transactions” account with offsetting entry in “Interest Expenses”.

F-22

1.11.    EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS ALLOWANCE

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss (“ECL”) associated with its debt instruments assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI, together with the exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. The Group recognizes a loss allowance for such losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:

•An unbiased and probability-weighted amount is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes,

•The time value of money, and

•Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Note 45 provides more detail of how the expected credit loss allowance is measured.

1.12.    LEASES

1.12.1.    Lease activities of the Group

The Group is the lessee of various properties to be used in its ordinary course of business. Lease contracts are generally made for fixed periods, from 1 to 20 years, but in some cases, there may be price agreements for shorter periods with extension options. Lease terms are individually negotiated and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.

From January 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability, on the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

•fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

•variable lease payments based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate on the initial date;

•amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

•the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

•payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if it can be determined; or otherwise, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate will be applied, which is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary funds to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of- use asset, in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period, to produce a constant, periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at their cost, comprising the following:

•the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

•any lease payment made on or before the initial date, less any lease incentives received;

•any initial direct cost; and

•restoration and dismantling costs.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset useful life and the lease term on a straight-line method.

F-23

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Payments related to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not contain a bargain purchase option. Low-value assets are mainly small physical spaces to place equipment which are owned by the Bank.

1.12.2.    Extension and Termination Options

The extension and termination options that are included in several Property, Plant and Equipment leases were considered to determine the term of the lease. These options are used to maximize the operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in our operations. Most of the extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.

1.13.    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Assets are measured at their acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciations and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost includes the expenses directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the items.

Property, Plant and Equipment acquired through business combinations were initially valued at the estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

Subsequent costs are included in the value of the asset or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, if and only if they are likely to generate future economic benefits for the Group, and its cost can be reasonably measured. When improvements are made to the asset, the carrying amount of the replaced asset is derecognized, the new asset being amortized for the remaining useful life.

Repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the year in which they are incurred.

The depreciation of these assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over, their estimated useful lives. If an asset includes significant components with different useful lives, they are recognized and depreciated as separate items.

The residual values of Property, Plant and Equipment, the useful lives and the depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if necessary, at the closing date of each fiscal year, or when there is evidence of impairment.

The book value of the Property, Plant and Equipment is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount when it is greater than the estimated recoverable value.

Profits and losses from the sale of Property, Plant and Equipment items are determined by comparing the proceeds from the disposal to the carrying amount of the respective asset and are charged to income.

1.14.    INTANGIBLE ASSETS

1.14.1.    Licenses

Licenses acquired individually are initially valued at cost, while those acquired through business combinations are recognized at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

At the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, intangible assets with a finite useful life are presented net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. These assets are subject to impairment tests annually, or when there is evidence of impairment.

The licenses acquired by the Group have been classified as intangible assets with a finite useful life, being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the license.

F-24

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are the assets arising from contracts or other legal rights, that can be renewed without significant cost, and for which, based on an analysis of all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit of the period along which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the Group. These intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to impairment tests, annually or when there is evidence of impairment, either individually or at the level of the cash generating unit. The determination of the indefinite useful life is annually reviewed to confirm if it continues being applicable.

1.14.2.    Software

The costs related to software maintenance are recognized as expense when incurred. The development, acquisition and implementation costs that are directly attributable to software design and testing, identifiable and monitored by the Group, are recognized as assets.

The costs incurred in software development, acquisition or implementation, recognized as intangible assets, are amortized by applying the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

1.15.    ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

1.15.1.    Assets Held for Sale

The assets, or group of assets, classified as available for sale in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,” will be disclosed separately from the rest of the assets.

Non-current assets or disposal groups (including the loss of control over a subsidiary) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. In order for an asset to be classified as held for sale, it must meet the following conditions:

•it must be available for immediate sale in its current condition;

•Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and must have initiated an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan;

•the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price in relation to its current fair value;

•the sale is expected to be completed within 12 months from its reclassification date; and

•it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn.

The assets, or groups of assets, classified as held for sale in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and are restated in accordance with Note 22.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale

1.15.2.    Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of, or that has been classified as held for sale, and complies with any of the following conditions:

•it represents line of business or a geographical area, which is significant and can be considered as separated from the rest;

•it is part of a single coordinated plan to have a business line, or geographical area of the operations which is significant and can be considered as separated from the rest; or

•it is an independent entity exclusively acquired to resell it.

Any profit or loss arising from re-measuring an asset (or group of assets for its disposal) classified as Held for Sale, which does not meet the definition of discontinued operation, will be included in the Income from continuing operations.

F-25

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.16.    IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Assets with indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or, at least, on an annual basis.

Depreciation and impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount exceeds their recoverable value. The recoverable value of assets is the greater of the net amount that it would obtain from its sale, or its value in use. For the impairment tests, the assets are grouped at the lowest level where they generate identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). The carrying amount of non-financial assets other than goodwill over which depreciation and impairment have been recorded, are reviewed at each reporting date for verifying possible depreciation and impairment reversals.

1.17.    TRUST ASSETS

The assets held by the Group in its trustee role are not reported in the consolidated statement of financial position, because the Group is not in control of the trust or the risks and rewards of the underlying assets. Fees received from trust activities are recorded in Fee Income.

1.18.    OFFSETTING

Financial assets and liabilities are offset by reporting the net amount in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.19.    FINANCING RECEIVED FROM THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

The amounts owed to other Financial Institutions are recorded at the time the principal is disbursed to the Group. Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. If the Group repurchases its own debt, this is eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid is recognized as a financial income or expense.

1.20.    PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

In accordance with IFRS a provision will be recognized when:

a.an Entity has a current obligation (either legal or implicit) as a consequence of a past event;

b.it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

c.the amount can be reliably estimated.

It will be understood that the Group has an implicit obligation if (a) as a result of previous practices or public policies, the Group has assumed certain liabilities; and (b) as a result, it has created expectations that it will comply with those obligations.

The Group recognizes the following provisions:

•For labor, civil, and commercial lawsuits: provisions are determined based on the lawyers’ reports on the status of the lawsuits and the estimate made on the bankruptcy possibilities to be faced by the Group, as well as on past experience regarding this type of lawsuits.

•For miscellaneous risks: provisions are set up to face contingent situations that may give rise to obligations for the Group. When estimating the amounts, the probability of their materializing is taken into account, considering the opinion of the Group’s legal advisors and professionals.

F-26

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The amount recognized as provision must be the best estimate of the disbursement needed to cancel such obligation, at the end of the year being reported.

When the financial effect produced by the discount becomes important, the amount of the provision must be the present value of the disbursements that are expected to be required to cancel the obligation by using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects the current market conditions on the value of money and the specific risks for such obligation. The increase in the provision for the lapsing of time would be recognized in the Net Financial Income item of the Statement of Income.

The Group will not record the positive contingencies, except those arising from deferred taxes and those which materialization is virtually certain.

At the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group Directors understand that there have been no elements that allow determining the existence of other contingencies that may be materialized and generate a negative impact on these consolidated financial statements, as detailed in Note 29.

1.21.    OTHER NON-FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Non-financial accounts payable are accrued when the counterparty has complied its contractual obligations under the contract, and they are measured at amortized cost.

1.22.    DEBT SECURITIES AND SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES

The Group’s Debt Securities and Subordinated Debt Securities are measured at amortized cost. If the Group purchases debt securities of their own, the obligation in Liabilities related to such debt securities is considered extinguished, and, therefore, it is derecognized. If the Group repurchases its own debt, this is eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid is recognized as a financial income or expense.

1.23.    ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE CONTRACTS

On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted IFRS 17 ‘Insurance Contracts’. For more information about the adoption and transition processes see note 1.1.c).

Insurance contracts

Insurance contracts are contracts under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from a policyholder by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specific uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder. In making this assessment, all material rights and obligations, including those arising from laws or regulations, are considered on a contract-by-contract basis. The Group uses its judgment to assess whether a contract transfers insurance risk (i.e., whether there is a scenario with commercial substance in which the Group has the possibility of a loss on a present value basis) and whether the insurance risk accepted is significant.

Separation of components

Contracts that have a legal form of insurance but do not transfer significant insurance risk and expose the Group to financial risks are classified as investment contracts and follow the accounting for financial instruments under IFRS 9. The Group has assessed whether its contracts accept significant insurance risk from another party by agreeing to compensate the insurance policyholder if an uncertain future event occurs that adversely affects it. From this assessment it has been concluded that all insurance contracts that were under the scope of IFRS 4 meet the definition of an insurance contract and therefore the introduction of IFRS 17 does not result in any reclassification.

Aggregation level

The grouping of contracts in units of account is made according to the types of products, onerousness and year of underwriting; since they have similar risks, they are managed together and no portfolio of contracts may contain contracts issued more than one year apart.

The Group classifies a portfolio of insurance contracts as onerous or non-onerous based on the expected profitability at the policy or contract level at the time of recognition.

Recognition of insurance and reinsurance contracts

F-27

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

IFRS 17 includes three measurement models, reflecting a different degree of policyholder involvement in the investment performance or overall performance of the insurance entity: the General Measurement Model (GMM, also known as the Building Block Approach (BBA)), the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) and the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA).

Measurement of Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts

General Model

In the measurement of contracts that include discretionary contractual features of policyholder participation, the Group has defined to apply the modified BBA Model. This method will be applied to the following units of account: Long-term Individual Life, Endowment, Retirement, USD Retirement and Provisional Annuity.

The amount of contracts valued following the general model (BBA) is residual in the group. The General Model requires that insurance contracts be initially valued for the total of:

a.fulfillment cash flows, which comprise the estimation of future cash flows discounted to reflect the time value of money, the financial risk associated, and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk that would represent the compensation required for the uncertainty associated with the amount and timing of the expected cash flows;

b.and the contractual service margin (CSM), which represents the expected unearned profit from insurance contracts, which will be recognized in the entity’s income statement as the service is provided in the future, instead of being recognized at the time of the estimation.

Simplified Model

For the remaining insurance contracts issued by the Group, the Simplified Model has been applied since the remaining hedge liability of such contracts has a coverage period of one year or less, or in those contracts with a duration of more than one year, a material valuation other than the General Model is not expected to occur.

Under the simplified approach, the Group assumes that such contracts are not onerous at initial recognition, unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise. If facts and circumstances indicate that some contracts are onerous, an additional assessment is made to distinguish onerous from non-onerous contracts. For non-onerous contracts, the Group assesses the likelihood of changes in the applicable facts and circumstances in subsequent periods to determine whether the contracts have a significant possibility of becoming onerous.

Under this model, the remaining hedge liability consists of the premiums received (collected), less the insurance acquisition cash flows paid, plus or minus the allocation to income of the premiums or expected acquisition cash flows, respectively. The allocation to income is made on a straight-line basis over the period of coverage of the contract, in the event that the accrual of income is also straight-line. The Group has chosen to defer acquisition costs, although there is an option to recognize such costs as they are incurred.

The Group does not adjust the remaining hedge liability for insurance contracts issued for the effect of the time value of money because the insurance premiums expire within the coverage period of the contracts, which is one year or less.

Groups of contracts measured under the simplified model have an incurred claims liability calculated in a manner similar to that of the General Model. For contracts measured under the simplified method, the incurred claims liability is measured similarly to the measurement under the general model. Future cash flows are adjusted for the time value of money, as certain insurance contracts issued by the Group and measured under the PAA typically have a settlement period longer than one year. In addition, the risk adjustment for non-financial risk is applied to the present value of estimated future cash flows and reflects the compensation the Group requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of non-financial risk cash flows as the Group fulfills insurance contracts.

Discount rate

IFRS 17 requires a measurement of the present value of future cash flows, for which it is necessary to define discount rates that reflect the time value of money. Without precise guidelines, the standard refers to bottom-up and top-down approaches, respectively.

The bottom-up approach is based on a risk-free curve to which an illiquidity premium is added; the top-down approach is based on a measure of return on a linked portfolio of assets, from which the associated credit risk is subtracted.

The Group has defined a methodology for the determination of discount rates, taking into account the general indications of the standard.

F-28

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group used the following yield curves to discount the cash flows:

Year/Quarter Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
2024 74.0 % 30.0 % 13.1 % 9.0 %
2025 10.9 % 9.0 % 9.1 % 9.6 %
2026 7.0 % 7.0 % 7.0 % 7.0 %
2027 5.5 % 5.5 % 5.5 % 5.5 %
2028 5.5 % 5.5 % 5.5 % 5.5 %

Risk margin

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the compensation the Group requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of cash flows arising from insurance risk and other non-financial risks such as lapse risk and expense risk. It measures the degree of variability of expected future cash flows and the Group's specific price for assuming that risk and reflects the Group's degree of risk aversion. The resulting risk adjustment corresponds to a confidence level of 64% for Galicia Seguros S.A.U. and 67% for Sudamericana Seguros Galicia SA. (formerly Seguros Sura S.A.).

Reinsurance

In general, the Group values reinsurance contracts under the Simplified Model, valuing the asset for remaining coverage of contracts with a coverage period equal to or less than one year, or in those contracts with a duration of more than one year, but which are not expected to result in a valuation significantly different from that of the General Model. This method also includes the asset for claims incurred.

Insurance service results

Insurance revenue reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the provision of coverage and other insurance contract services. Insurance service expenses comprise claims incurred and other insurance service expenses incurred, and losses on onerous groups of contracts and reversals of such losses.

The Group applies the accounting policy set out in IFRS 17.86 and presents the financial performance of groups of reinsurance contracts held on a net basis in net income (expense) from reinsurance contracts held.

As a general rule, for the presentation of financial income or expense from insurance contracts arising as a result of the effect of the time value of money and the effect of financial risk disclosed in "Other Operating Expenses", the Group does not disaggregate changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk between insurance service result and insurance financial income or expense.

The Group includes all insurance financial income or expense for the period in profit or loss.

1.24.    SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Shareholders’ equity accounts are restated in accordance with Note 1.1.b., except for the item “Capital Stock”, which is carried at face value. The restatement adjustment is included in “Equity Adjustments”.

Ordinary shares are classified in Shareholders’ Equity and remain recorded at their nominal value. When any company forming part of the Group buys Company shares (treasury shares in portfolio), the payment made, including any costs directly attributable to the transaction (net of taxes) is deducted from the Shareholders’ Equity until the shares are canceled or sold.

1.25.    PROFIT RESERVES

According to Art. 70 of the General Companies Act, the Company and its subsidiaries, except Banco Galicia and Naranja Digital Compañía Financiera S.A.U., must transfer to Legal Reserve 5% of the profit for the year, until said reserve reaches 20% of the capital stock plus the balance of the Equity Adjustment account.

Regarding Banco Galicia and Naranja Digital Compañía Financiera S.A.U., in accordance with the regulations established by the Argentine Central Bank, it is required to allocate to Legal Reserve 20% of the profits for the year, net of the eventual

adjustments of previous fiscal years, if applicable. However, for the allocation of Other Reserves, the Financial Institutions must comply with the Argentine Central Bank provisions of the Amended Text on income distribution detailed in Note 52.

1.26.    DIVIDENDS DISTRIBUTION

The dividends distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements in the year in which the dividends are approved by the Group’s shareholders.

1.27.    REVENUE RECOGNITION

Financial income and expenses are recorded for all debt instruments according to the effective interest rate method, by which all gains and losses that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of the transaction are deferred.

The income included in the effective interest rate includes disbursements or income related to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or liability, such as, for example, the preparation and processing of the documents necessary to conclude the transaction and the compensation received by the granting of credit agreements. The Group records all its non-derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost, except those included in the item “Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” which are measured at fair value.

Fees received by the Group for the origination of syndicated loans are not part of the effective interest rate of the product and are recognized in the statement of income at the time the service is provided, to the extent the Group does not retain part of it, or this is maintained in the same conditions as the rest of the participants. Commissions and fees earned by the Group on negotiations in third parties’ transactions are not part of the effective interest rate either, and are recognized at the time the transactions are executed.

IFRS 15 establishes the principles that an entity shall apply to recognize revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers.

The amount that should be recognized will be the amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the services delivered to customers.

The Group’s income from services is recognized in the statement of income to the extent the performance obligations are complied with, thus deferring those revenues related to customer loyalty programs, which are provisioned based on the fair value of each point and its redemption rate, until they are exchanged by the customer and can be recognized in the income for the year.

Retail product and service fees related to savings and checking account operations have a monthly charging frequency; safe deposit boxes fees are charged quarterly; renewal of credit cards is charged annually, and bond and shares transactions are charged at the time the transactions are executed.

Additionally, fees for wholesale products corresponding to maintenance of accounts, deposits and withdrawals between entities, are charged on a monthly basis; foreign trade transactions are charged at the time the transactions are executed.

1.28.    INCOME TAX

The Income tax expense for the year comprises the current and the deferred taxes. Income tax is recognized in the statement of income, except when there are items that must be directly recognized in other comprehensive income. In this case, income tax liability related to such items is also recognized in this Statement.

The current income tax expense is calculated based on the tax laws enacted, or substantially enacted as of the date of the consolidated financial statements in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The Group periodically assesses the position assumed in tax returns as regards the situations in which tax laws are subject to interpretation. Likewise, when applicable, the Group sets up provisions on the amounts that it expects to be paid to tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is determined by the liability method on the temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. However, the deferred tax that arises from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction not corresponding to a business combination, which at the time of the transaction does not affect neither the profit nor the accounting or taxable loss, is not recorded. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and legislation) that have been enacted as of the date of the financial statements and are expected to be applicable when the deferred tax assets are realized, or the deferred tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent future tax benefits are likely to arise against which the temporary differences might be offset.

The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, unless the following two conditions are met:

(i)    the Group controls the timing on which temporary differences will be reversed, and.

(ii)    such temporary differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

The balances of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when a legal right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and to the extent such balances are related to the same tax authority of the Group or its subsidiaries, where tax balances are intended to be, and may be, settled on a net basis.

1.29.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income attributable to parent company’s owners by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

NOTE 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
---

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the accounting standards to define the Group’s accounting policies.

The Group has identified the following areas involving a greater degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, and which are essential to understand the underlying accounting/financial reporting risks.

a.    FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 are not listed in active markets and is therefore determined by using valuation techniques. The valuation of level 3 financial instruments involves one or more inputs which are unobservable and significant to their fair value measurement. The Group uses valuation models and unobservable inputs, including projected cash flows, discount rates and volatilities and correlations relating to interest rates and spreads, to estimate the fair value of level 3 financial instruments. These valuation techniques require management to make significant estimates and judgments.

b.    VALUATION OF THE EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS ALLOWANCE

The Group records the allowance for loan losses under the expected credit losses (ECL) method included in IFRS 9. The most significant judgments of the model relate to making assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward looking factor. A high degree of uncertainty is involved in making estimations using assumptions that are highly subjective and very sensitive to the risk factors.

c.    IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Intangible assets with finite useful lives and property, plant and equipment are amortized or depreciated on a straight-line basis during their estimated useful life. The Group monitors the conditions related to these assets to determine whether the events and circumstances require a review of the remaining amortization or depreciation term, and whether there are factors or circumstances indicating impairment in the value of the assets that cannot be recovered.

The Group has applied judgment to identify impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Group has concluded that there were no impairment indicators for any of the years reported in its consolidated financial statements.

d.    INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX

Significant judgment is required when determining current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The current income tax is accounted according to the amounts expected to be paid; while deferred income tax is accounted on the basis of temporary differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, at the rates expected to be in force at the time of their reversal.

A deferred tax asset is recognized when future taxable income is expected to exist to offset such temporary differences, based on Management’s assumptions about the amounts and timing of such future taxable income. Actual results may differ from these estimates, for instance, changes in the applicable tax laws or the outcome of the final review of the tax returns by the tax authorities and tax courts.

Future taxable income and the number of tax benefits likely to be available in the future are based on a medium-term business plan prepared by management, on the basis of expectations which are deemed reasonable.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUES

The Group classifies the fair values of the financial instruments in 3 levels, according to the quality of the data used for their determination

Fair Value Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (as publicly traded derivative instruments, debt securities or instruments available for sale) is based on the quoted market prices as of the date of the reporting period. If the quoted price is available within the 5 business days of the valuation date, and there is an active market for the instrument, this will be included in Level 1.

Fair Value Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active markets, for example, over-the-counter derivatives, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. If all the significant inputs required to obtain the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. If all or some of the inputs required to determine the price are not observable, the instrument will be included in Level 3.

Fair Value Level 3: If one or more relevant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Valuation Techniques

The valuation techniques to determine fair values include:

•Market prices for similar instruments.

•Determining the estimated present value of instruments.

F-34

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The valuation technique to determine the fair value Level 2 is based on data other than the quoted price included in Level 1, which are directly observable for assets or liabilities, both directly (i.e., prices) and indirectly (i.e., deriving from prices).

Financial instruments classified as level 3 mainly include equity instruments for which the fair value was calculated with the assistance of independent appraisers using methods of future discounted cash flows involving a combined income and market approach.

The valuation technique to determine the fair value of other Level 3 financial instruments is based on a method that compares the existing spread between the curve of sovereign bonds and the average yield of primary offerings, for different segments, according to the different risk ratings. If there are no representative primary offerings during the month, the following alternatives will be used:

(i)Secondary market prices of instruments under the same conditions, which had quoted in the evaluation month.

(ii)prior month bidding and/or secondary market prices, which will be taken based on their representativeness.

(iii)prior month spread applied to the sovereign curve.

(iv)A specific margin is applied, defined according to historical yields of instruments under the same conditions.

As stated above, the rates and spreads to be used to discount future cash flows and originate the price of the instrument are determined.

All the modifications to the valuation methods are previously discussed and approved by the Group’s key personnel.

The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period are detailed below:

NOTE 5. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
---

Cash equivalents are held to meet short-term payment commitments, rather than for investment or similar purposes. A financial asset is classified as cash equivalent if it can be readily convertible into a certain amount of cash and its risk of changes in value is immaterial. Accordingly, an investment with original maturity of three months or less is classified as cash equivalent. Equity interests are excluded from cash equivalents.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT WITH NO DELIVERY OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

The Electronic Open Market (Mercado Abierto Electrónico, MAE) and the Rosario Forward Market (ROFEX) have trading areas for the closing, recording and settlement of forward financial transactions between their Agents, including Banco Galicia. In general, the settlement of these transactions is made without delivering the underlying asset. The settlement is carried out daily in Argentine pesos for the difference, if any, between the closing price traded of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset of the previous day, the price difference impacting on Income.

The transactions are recorded in Off-balance Sheet Items The accrued balances pending settlement are disclosed in the “Derivative Financial Instruments” line, in Assets and/or Liabilities, as appropriate.

PURCHASE - SALE TAKEN WITH DELIVERY OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

As from July 2022, the Argentine Central Bank may make put option bids on securities issued by the National Treasury. Put option contracts are non-transferable and such options may be exercised at any time, from 5 business days after the security settlement until the date established in the option term. The call premiums of the options are set by the Argentine Central Bank prior to the bids, and auctions end by price acceptance.

Put option contracts are intended for those instruments with maturities until December 31, 2025. The exercise price arises from the nominal rates traded for the underlying asset the day before the exercise date, considering the highest rate between the average rate traded on the day and the closing value for the market with the highest volume traded between Argentine Stock Exchanges and Markets (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos, BYMA) and MAE, plus an additional charge set by the Argentine Central Bank.

The transactions are recorded in Off-Balance Sheet Items, at exercise price. The balances for the transaction premiums are exposed in Assets, in the “Derivative Financial Instruments” line.

The amounts of transactions as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 are as follows:

15.3 Business combination

On August 11, 2023 Sudamericana Holding S.A. entered into a share purchase agreement with Suramericana S.A. and Santa María del Sol S.A.U. (collectively “the seller”), whereby they agreed to sell their entire shareholding in Seguros Sura S.A. after approval of such transaction by the Argentine Superintendency of Insurance (Superintendencia de Seguros de la Nación, SSN).

On September 21, 2023, the SSN approved the transaction and, as a consequence, on October 11, 2023, it was materialized through the transfer 4,512,697,946 ordinary shares with a nominal value of Ps.1 (expressed in Argentine pesos) and with one vote per share, representing 99.43% of the capital and votes of Sudamericana Seguros Galicia S.A. (formerly Seguros Sura S.A.).

The acquiree company is an insurance company that offers insurance solutions and services for individuals and families, large companies and the agricultural and livestock segment, served by a broad network of insurance advisors who make it possible to achieve more than half of the insurer's turnover. The incorporation of the aforementioned company complements the marketing of insurance, which until now was only channeled through the Bank. Seguros Sura S.A. has 775,000 customers and 13 branch offices in the country and a network of approximately 5,000 insurance producers.

The acquired business generated, from the insurance activity, income for the Group amounting to Ps.59,521,234 and a loss of Ps.(912,395) for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2023. If such acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, the income would have amounted to Ps.218,743,593 and the loss would have amounted to Ps.(4,292,010).

The consideration paid for the business combination amounted to Ps.22,475,933.

The fair value of the net assets acquired as at September 30, 2023 amounted to Ps.32,306,345.

Due to the strategy of concentrating its operations in fewer countries and the need to sell the company in Argentina, the

seller accepted the fair value of the price paid. Since the latter is lower than the amount of net assets acquired, the Group recorded a gain of Ps.9,830,412 in “Profit or Loss from Associates and Joint Ventures.”

The fair value of the net assets acquired is currently under review and could be subject to changes within one year from the date of acquisition, in accordance with IFRS 3; however, it is estimated that no significant variations will arise from the aforementioned review.

The Assets and Liabilities arising from the acquisition are detailed below:

Tax Inflation Adjustment

•Law 27,430 introduced an amendment establishing that the subjects referred to in paragraphs a) to e) of Article 53 of the current Income Tax Act, for the purposes of determining the net taxable earnings, should deduct or incorporate the tax inflation adjustment to the tax income for the fiscal year being settled. Said adjustment would be applicable in the fiscal year where a variation percentage of the consumer price index is verified, greater than one hundred percent (100%), accumulated in the thirty-six (36) months prior to the closing of the fiscal year being settled.

•The positive or negative inflation adjustment, as the case may be, to be calculated, would be charged as follows: for the first and second fiscal years commenced on or after January 1, 2019, one sixth (1/6) had to be charged in that fiscal year, and the remaining five sixths (5/6), in equal parts, in the following five (5) immediate fiscal years. Later, for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2021, the inflation adjustment would be charged in full (100%), with no deferral at all. In this regard, the whole inflation adjustment calculated for this year has to be included in the current fiscal year.

Tax rates

On June 16, 2021, Law 27,630 was enacted establishing a new graduated income tax rate structure for capital companies, with three segments in relation to the level of accumulated taxable net earnings, to be applied for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2021, this date included.

The new tax rate in the framework of this treatment are:

For the fiscal year beginning on 01.01.23 and ended 12.31.23:

Accumulated taxable net earnings
Over Ps. At Ps. Will pay Ps Plus % On the surplus of Ps.
14,301 25 %
14,301 143,012 3,575 30 % 14,301
143,012 Onwards 42,189 35 % 143,012

For the fiscal year beginning on 01.01.22 and ended 12.31.22:

Accumulated taxable net earnings
Over Ps. At Ps. Will pay Ps Plus % On the surplus of Ps.
7,605 25 %
7,605 76,049 1,901 30 % 7,605
76,049 Onwards 22,435 35 % 76,049

The amounts provided for above will be adjusted annually, based on the annual variation of the CPI provided by INDEC, corresponding to the month of October of the year prior to the adjustment, with respect to the same month of the previous year.

Dividend tax: it is established that dividends or profits distributed to individuals, undivided estates or foreign beneficiaries will be taxed at the rate of 7%.

NOTE 45. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND RISK POLICIES
---

The tasks related to risk information and internal control of each of the companies controlled by Grupo Financiero Galicia are defined and carried out rigorously by each of them.

Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which as well gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.

As concerns risks, Banco Galicia embraces a policy that takes into consideration several aspects of the business and operations, abiding by the main guidelines of internationally accepted standards.

F-83

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The specific function of the integral management of risks faced by Banco Galicia has been assigned to the Risk Area Management, ensuring its independence from the rest of the business areas by depending directly on the Bank’s General Management. Likewise, in order to have timely information and an agile and efficient structure that allows responding and adapting to the prevailing macro and microeconomic variables, the functions of granting and recovering credits, both for companies and individuals, are in charge of managements directly reporting to the Area, thus seeking greater efficiency in decision-making.

Additionally, the control and prevention of the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities, are in charge of the Prevention of Money Laundering Management, reporting to the Board of Directors, thus ensuring the Board of Directors is fully knowledgeable of the risks the Bank is exposed to, being in charge of designing and proposing the required policies and procedures for their identification, evaluation, follow-up, control, and mitigation.

The Risk Appetite framework has been specified as the risk level that would eventually be assumed in order to meet the business objectives. This specified Risk Appetite framework counts on different levels of risk acceptance, both in individual and consolidated terms. The Risk Appetite monitors, through a series of metrics and associated thresholds, the main risks assumed by the Bank, and divides them into the following dimensions: (i) Capital Risk (or Solvency); (ii) Financial Risk; (iii) Credit Risk; (iv) Operational Risk; (v) Cybersecurity. It should be noted that the last two dimensions also include monitoring the Reputational and Technological Risks.

Additionally, the Risks Area Management monitors the risk appetite set up, and conducts prospective analysis of the risk levels, aligning the management to the strategy and the business plan defined by the Board of Directors. It also promotes corporate policies aimed at mitigating verified (or potential) deviations from the accepted risk levels.

Capital Management

The Company’s goals are to generate returns to its shareholders, benefits to other groups of interest and keep the best capital structure. The latter will be given by the needs for investment in subsidiaries and new ventures, keeping the expected profitability levels and complying with the liquidity and solvency goals set.

Banco Galicia’s subsidiary determines the minimum capital requirement for each risk, in accordance with Argentine Central Bank regulations. The capital risk management is cross-sectional with respect to the other risks. Senior management is responsible for monitoring, overseeing, adjusting and ensuring compliance with its stated goals concerning capital management.

The Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (Proceso de Evaluación de Suficiencia de Capital—PESC) (reflected in the Capital Adequacy Report—IAC, as per its acronym in Spanish) enables to assess the relationship between own resources available and necessary resources to maintain an appropriate risk profile. This process also allows for the identification of both the economic capital needs and the sources to meet such needs.

To perform stress tests, four scenarios with different likelihood of occurrence are defined, which could affect the solvency and liquidity. The most likely to occur scenarios are used in management stress testing and are referred to when defining Risk Appetite thresholds. The least-likely to occur or least-severe scenarios are used in developing the Recovery Plan, which specifies the protocol defined for situations or events that may compromise the Bank’s operational capacity.

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, Banco Galicia complied with the minimum capital requirement established by the Argentine Central Bank regulations. The balances of these items for Banco Galicia are detailed below, in accordance with the regulations and the currency in force each year.

Financial Risks

Financial risk is a phenomenon inherent to the financial brokerage activity. The exposure to the different financial risk factors is a natural circumstance that cannot be completely avoided without affecting the Group’s long-term economic viability. However, the lack of management regarding risk exposures is one of the most significant short-term threats. Risk factors need to be identified and managed within a specific policy framework that envisages the profile and the level of risk it has been decided to take to achieve long-term strategic goals.

Market Risk

The “price risk” is the possibility of incurring losses as a consequence of the variation of the market price of financial assets whose value is subject to negotiation. Financial assets subject to “trading” or allocated to “own positions” will be government and private debt securities, shares, currencies, derivatives and debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

Brokerage/trading transactions that are allowed and regulated by the Policy are as follows:

•Brokerage of Government and Provincial Securities.

•Brokerage of Currencies on the Spot and Futures Markets

•Brokerage of Interest Rate Derivatives. Interest Rate Futures and Interest Rate Swaps.

•Brokerage of Debt Instruments Issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

•Brokerage of Third-party Debt securities.

•Brokerage of Shares.

For the fiscal year 2023, a limit of 2.25% of TIER1 was set for all operations, with a closing amount of Ps.58,755,406.

The “price risk” (market) is daily managed according to the strategy approved, the purpose of which is to keep the Group present in the different currencies, variable- and fixed-income and derivatives markets, while obtaining the maximum return as possible on brokerage, without exposing the latter to excessive risk levels. Finally, the designed policy contributes

F-85

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

to providing transparency and facilitates the perception of the risk levels to which it is exposed. In order to measure and monitor risks derived from the variation in the price of financial instruments that form the trading or brokerage securities portfolio, a model known as “Value at Risk” (also known as “VaR”) is used. This model determines the possible loss that could be generated by different financial instruments at each time under the following critical parameters.

Currency Risk

The composition of Assets and Liabilities in domestic currency and foreign currency exposes the Bank’s financial position to the so-called “Currency Risk”, as a consequence of market fluctuations in the prices of the different currencies in which Assets and Liabilities are nominated.

The Group’s exposure to the foreign exchange risk as of year-end by type of currency is shown below:

Interest Rate Risk

The different sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in “market interest rates” exposes the Group to the “interest rate risk”. It is the risk that the financial margin and the economic value of equity may vary as a consequence of fluctuations in market interest rates. The magnitude of such variation is associated with the sensitivity to interest rates of the structure of the Group’s assets and liabilities.

This risk factor (the change in interest rates) has an impact on two key variables: the “Net Financial Income (Expense)” and the “Present Value of Shareholders’ Equity”.

These methodologies imply a “short-term” approach (RFN), for which a “base case scenario” is submitted to a 400 basis points “interest rates” shock for Argentine pesos, and 200 basis points for Dollars and CER/UVA, and the variation of the Net Financial Income is estimated and compared with the limits assigned to said changes in the variables subject to control. For “long-term approach” (VP), statistical simulations of interest rates are performed, and a “critical” scenario is obtained, arising from the exposure to the interest rate risk presented by the balance sheet structure. The economic capital is obtained from the difference resulting from the “critical” scenario and the balance sheet market value, within a 99.5% confidence interval.

The Group’s exposure to the interest rate risk is detailed below. This table shows the residual value of assets and liabilities, classified by the sooner of the interest renegotiation date or the maturity date.

Liquidity Risk

It contemplates the risk that the Group is unable to offset or liquidate a position at market value because:

•the assets that are part thereof do not have a sufficient secondary market; or

•market changes.

In measuring and daily following up the “stock liquidity” an internal model is used, which contemplates the characteristics of behavior of the Group’s main funding sources. Based on the Group’s experience in connection with the changes in deposits and other liabilities, this model determines the “liquidity requirements” applied to liabilities subject to the policy and give rise to the “Management Liquidity Requirement”. In determining these liquid resources, the remaining term of liabilities is also contemplated, as well as the currency in which they are denominated. The resulting liquidity requirement is allocated to “eligible assets” set by the policy. The management liquidity requirement, along with the legal minimum cash requirements, are part of the total liquidity available.

Daily liquidity management is supplemented by the estimated available funds or needs for the day, considering the opening balance of Argentine Central Bank’s account, deducting the daily minimum requirement, and including the main movements for the day. The latter results in the overestimated/underestimated balance that will be considered by operators in order to place funds or meet the financing needs.

The monthly liquidity follow-up and control from the “flow” standpoint, called “liquidity mismatch/liquidity gap”, are performed by estimating the accumulated mismatches within the first year as a percentage of total liabilities. The gap methodology used (contractual gaps) is consistent with the best international practices in the field.

In addition, the concentration of deposits is followed up and measured. In order to mitigate this risk factor, the policy designed restricts the involvement of two groups of customers to the total deposits: the first 10 customers and second 50 customers.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility of suffering losses due to a debtor’s or counterparty’s noncompliance with its contractual obligations. It is the one that requires the greatest need for capital, including that arising from the risk of individual and sectorial concentration, which represents supplementary approximations to the intrinsic credit risk.

Accordingly, the Group uses credit assessment and risk monitoring tools that allow the entity to manage risks in a streamlined and controlled manner and that foster the adequate diversification of portfolios, both on an individual basis and by economic sector, thus controlling its exposure to potential risks.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of credit risk

The following disclosures present the gross carrying amount of financial instruments to which the impairment requirements in IFRS 9 are applied and the associated allowance for loan losses.

Those credits that do not have reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows are eliminated from the Group’s assets and are recognized in “Off-balance Items”.

The credit quality related to loans granted is detailed in Schedule B.

The breakdown by term of “Net Loans and Other Financing” is detailed in Schedule D.

Impairment of financial assets

The “Expected Credit Loss” (“ECL”) model applies to financial assets which are valued at both amortized cost and fair value through OCI.

The standard establishes three categories to classify financial instruments, primarily considering the credit risk evolution over time. Stage 1 includes financial assets with normal or no significant risk associated; Stage 2 includes financial assets for which a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) has been identified but they are not yet deemed to be credit-impaired, and Stage 3 comprises financial assets which are defaulted and/or subject to serious risk of impairment.

To calculate the provisions for credit impairment risk, IFRS 9 differentiates between each of the three stages. The resulting concepts are explained as follows:

•Expected Credit Losses within a 12-month period: possible events of default within the 12 months following the date of the presentation of financial statements. Assets included in Stage 1 have their ECL measured at 12-month ECL.

•Lifetime Expected Credit Losses: ECL during the active period of the financial asset, which results of calculating the probability of impairment of an asset throughout its duration, up until its maturity. Instruments in Stage 2 or 3 have their ECL measured based on lifetime ECL.

A pervasive concept in measuring ECL in accordance with IFRS 9 is that it should consider forward looking information. The Group has included below an explanation on how it has incorporated this in its ECL models.

Grouping of instruments for losses measured on a collective basis

For expected credit loss provisions modelled on a collective basis, a grouping of exposures is performed based on shared risks characteristics, such that risk exposures within group are homogeneous. In performing this grouping, there must be sufficient information for the group to be statistically credible. Where sufficient information is not available internally, the Group has considered benchmarking internal/external supplementary data to use for modelling purposes.

The Group has identified four groupings: Retail, Retail-like, Wholesale and Naranja X, amongst these four segments the Group estimates parameters in a more granular way based on the shared risk characteristics.

Stage classification

Each subsidiary of Grupo Galicia classifies financial instruments subject to impairment under IFRS 9 in stages, as follows:

•Stage 1: in the case of retail portfolios, it includes every operation up to 31 days past due. In the case of wholesale portfolios, it considers every client whose BCRA situation indicates a normal status (A1) (i.e. low risk of bankruptcy).

•Stage 2: considers two groups:

•For retail and retail like Portfolios between 31 and 90 days past due. For wholesale it considers credit ratings for which the risk of default has increased significantly (B).

•Probability of Default (“PD”) or Score with impairment risk.

F-92

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

•Stage 3: For retail portfolios, it includes every operation amounting 90 or more days past due. For wholesale portfolios, it considers every client whose BCRA situation indicates serious risk of bankruptcy (C, D, E). Furthermore, this stage also includes refinanced transactions originated more than 90 days past due or with another transaction in force within the last 24 months.

Significant Increase in credit risk

The Group considers a financial instrument to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk when any of the following conditions exist:

____________________

| 1 | The analysis of the customer’s cash flow shows that it is capable of attend adequately all its financial commitments. | | --- | --- || Retail Portfolio | | | --- | --- | | BCRA situation | Extra conditions to be considered stage 2 | | A, B1 | - Cure (*) | | | - Between 30 and 90 past due days | | | - Probability of Default (“PD”) or Score (**) with impairment risk | | C | - It does not apply to defaulted clients | | Retail-like Portfolio | | | BCRA situation | Extra conditions to be considered stage 2 | | A, B1 | - Cure (*) | | | - Between 30 and 90 past due days | | | - Probability of Default (“PD”) or Score (**) with impairment risk | | C | - It does not apply to defaulted clients | | Wholesale Portfolio | | | BCRA situation | Extra conditions to be considered stage 2 | | A | - Cure (*) | | | - BCRA situation B1 | | | - Probability of Default (“PD”) or Score (**) with impairment risk | | C | - It does not apply to defaulted clients || (*) | It refers to customers who have been in stage 3 and back to stage 1, the entity has decided to keep them in stage 2. | | --- | --- | | (**) | Internal scoring. |

Definition of Default

A financial asset is in default whenever a payment is more than 90 days past due, or if the Company considers the payment will not be fully reimbursed.

The credit analysis for wholesale loans is not the same as for retail loans, Grupo Galicia’s definition of default for wholesale portfolios is based on a credit analysis of the individual borrower.

F-93

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The default definition has been applied consistently to model the Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss given Default (LGD) throughout the Group’s expected loss calculations:

•Probability of Default (“PD”): it represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation (as per the definition of default included above), either over the next 12 months or the remaining lifetime of the obligation.

•Exposure at the moment of Default (“EAD”): it is based on the amounts the Group expects to be owed at the time of default, over the next 12 months or over the remaining lifetime. For example, for a revolving commitment, the Group includes the current draw down balance plus any further amount that it is expected to be drawn up to the current contractual limit by the potential time of default.

•Loss given Default (“LGD”): this represents Grupo Galicia’s expectation of effective loss from the total exposure at default. Its value changes according to the counterparty, seniority of the claim and availability of collateral or other credit support. LGD is expressed as a percentage loss per Peso of exposure at the time of default and is calculated over the term of the relevant obligation.

An instrument is considered to no longer be in default when it no longer meets any of the default criteria above mentioned.

Methodology for Expected Credit Loss estimation

Expected credit loss impairment allowances recognized in the financial statements reflect the effect of a range of possible economic outcomes, calculated on a probability-weighted basis, based on the economic scenarios described below. The recognition and measurement of expected credit losses (‘ECL’) involves the use of significant judgment and estimation. It is necessary to formulate multiple forward-looking economic forecasts and incorporate them into the ECL estimates. Grupo Galicia uses a standard framework to form economic scenarios to reflect assumptions about future economic conditions, supplemented with the use of management judgment, which may result in using alternative or additional economic scenarios and/or management adjustments.

IFRS 9 establishes the following standards regarding the estimation of credit loss:

•An unbiased weighted probability index determined by the evaluation of different outcomes.

•Time value of money

•Reasonable and sustainable information available at no additional cost or effort that provides evidence to support forecasts, as well as present conditions and past events.

According to IFRS 9, Grupo Galicia prepared three different scenarios with different probabilities: a base scenario with 70% probability of occurrence, a pessimistic scenario with 15% probability of occurrence and an optimistic scenario with 15% probability of occurrence.

Scenario Probabilities Base Optimistic Pessimistic
Retail, Retail like and Wholesale 70 % 15 % 15 %
Naranja 70 % 15 % 15 %

In order to toake time value of money into account, Grupo assumes expected losses will take place according to the PD behavior.

The ECL is determined by calculating the PD, EAD and LGD for each future month or collective segment. These three components are multiplied together and adjusted for forward looking information. This effectively calculates an ECL for each future month, which is then discounted back to the reporting date and summed. The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is the original effective interest rate or an estimation of it.

Maximum exposure to credit risk

Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when they are 30 days past due (“DPD”) and are transferred from stage 1 to stage 2. The following disclosure presents the ageing of stage 2 financial assets. It distinguishes those assets that are classified as stage 2 when they are less than 30 days past due (1-29 DPD) from those that are more than 30 DPD (30 and >DPD). Past due financial instruments are those loans where customers have failed to make payments in accordance with the contractual terms of their facilities.

The following table contains an analysis of the credit risk exposure of financial instruments for which an ECL allowance is recognized.

Evolution of the exposure to credit risk and the related allowances

The credit risk allowance recognized in the fiscal year is affected by a variety of factors, such as:

•transfers between Stage 1 and Stages 2 or 3 because the financial instruments experience significant credit risk increases (or decreases), or become impaired in the period, with the corresponding “increase” (or “decrease”) between the 12-month and Lifetime ECL;

•additional allocations for new financial instruments recognized during the fiscal year, as well as reversals of allowances for loan losses for financial instruments derecognized in the fiscal year;

•impact on ECL measurements of changes in PD, EAD and LGD in the fiscal year, arising from the periodic update of inputs to the models;

•impact on ECL measurement due to changes in models and assumptions;

•impacts due to passing of time resulting from an update to the present value;

•local currency translations for assets denominated in foreign currency and other changes;

•financial assets derecognized during the period and application of allowances related to assets derecognized in the balance sheet during the fiscal year; and

Use of information

Grupo Financiero Galicia, according to IFRS 9 standards, uses all information available, past, present and future to identify and estimate expected credit loss.

Operational Risk

The operational risk management is understood as the identification, assessment, monitoring, control and mitigation of this risk. It is an ongoing process carried out throughout the Group, which fosters a risk management culture at all organization levels through an effective policy and a program led by Senior Management.

Identification

The starting point of the operational risk management is the identification of risks and their association with the controls established to mitigate them, considering internal and external factors that may affect the process development. The results

F-109

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

of this exercise are entered into a log of risks, which acts as a central repository of the nature and status of each risk and controls thereof.

Assessment

Once risks have been identified, the size in terms of impact, frequency and likelihood of risk occurrence is determined, considering the existing controls. The combination of impact with likelihood of occurrence determines the risk exposure level. Finally, the estimated risk levels are compared to pre-established criteria, considering the balance of potential benefits and adverse results.

Monitoring

The monitoring process allows detecting and correcting the possible deficiencies in operational risk management policies, processes and procedures and their update.

Risk Control and Mitigation

The control process ensures compliance with internal policies and analyzes risks and responses to avoid, accept, mitigate or share them, by aligning them with the risk tolerance defined.

IT Risk

The Group manages the IT risk inherent to its products, activities and business processes. It also manages the risk associated with the material information systems, technology and information security processes. It also covers the risks derived from subcontracted activities and from services rendered by providers.

Reputational Risk

The reputational risk may result from the materialization of other risks: Legal, Compliance, Operational, Technological, Strategic, Market, Liquidity, Credit, etc.

The groups of interest are at the core of management, being considered upon establishing any type of mitigation measure.

Banco Galicia’s reputational risk management function was allocated to the Compliance Management Division, seeking to obtain a more comprehensive vision and be able to make immediate decisions that protect the entity’s image and reputation by using tools that enable to monitor and follow up to the perception of different groups of interest.

Banco Galicia defined an internal policy to reduce the occurrence of reputational events with negative impact, by defining a governance model with roles and responsibilities, and identifying critical scenarios that require management and visibility.

Contacts have been established with key business areas, devising a work scheme based on synergy and ongoing communication in order to spread the risk culture across the organization.

The Reputational Crisis Committee is in charge of becoming aware of the events that may affect the Bank’s reputation. In the face of an event of such characteristics, all the necessary information is gathered in the shortest time possible in order to be able to make assertive decisions, formally declare the crisis situation, if appropriate, and define the action plan to alleviate the crisis. In addition, such committee determines the communication strategy to be followed, considering the groups of interest involved. Finally, the strategy and related actions are followed to tackle the crisis.

Strategic Risk

Strategic risk is that which arises from an inappropriate business strategy or an adverse change in forecasts, parameters, goals and other functions that support such strategy.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

It represents the possibility of fluctuations in placements that prevent Banco Galicia or its subsidiaries from obtaining the expected results of operations. These potential affected results of operations would give rise to lower income or higher costs regardless of what was budgeted.

Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk

As regards the control and prevention of asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities, Banco Galicia complies with the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Financial Information Unit and Law No. 25246, as amended, which creates the Financial Information Unit (UIF), within the purview of Argentina’s Ministry of Treasury and Public Finance with functional autarchy. The Financial Information Unit is in charge of analyzing, addressing and reporting the information received, in order to prevent and avoid both asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities.

The Bank has promoted the implementation of measures designed to fight against the use of the international financial system by criminal organizations. For such purposes, Banco Galicia has control policies, procedures and structures that are applied using a “risk-based approach”, which allow for the monitoring of transactions, pursuant to the “customer profile” (defined individually based on the information and documentation related to the economic and financial condition of the customer), in order to detect such transactions that should be considered unusual, and to report them to the UIF in applicable cases. The Anti-Money Laundering Management Division (“PLA”, as per its initials in Spanish) is in charge of managing this activity, through the implementation of control and prevention procedures as well as the communication thereof to the rest of the organization by drafting the related handbooks and training all employees. In addition, the management of this risk is regularly reviewed by Internal Audit.

The Bank has appointed a director as Compliance Officer, pursuant to Resolution 121/11, as amended, handed down by the UIF, who shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with and implementation of the proceedings and obligations on the issue.

The Bank contributes to the prevention and mitigation of risks from these transaction-related criminal behaviors, by being involved in the international regulatory standards adoption process.

Cybersecurity Risk

The use of technologies in place facilitates us a significant number of tools that expedite and improve the Bank’s processes, having a positive impact on our products and services. However, along with the above-mentioned benefits, risks and/or threats related to these new opportunities provided by digital technologies appear.

The cybersecurity-related risk is a matter inherent to the introduction of these new technologies. On one hand, such risk management stands out among Banco Galicia’s main goals, and, on the other, all the personnel’s as well as customers’ awareness of the considerations as regards the use of the above-mentioned technologies. In this respect, it is vital for the organization to understand thoroughly its internal processes, the tools used and the available techniques to mitigate cybersecurity-related risks.

NOTE 46. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

a) Tax Issues

At the date of these consolidated financial statements, provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting reviews and assessments mainly in respect of matters resulting from applying turnover tax.

These proceedings and their possible effects are constantly being monitored. Even though it is considered that it has complied with its tax liabilities in full pursuant to current regulations, the provisions deemed adequate pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding have been set up.

Banco Galicia has filed to the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, AFIP) several claims for refund of the Income Tax paid in excess for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, for the amounts of Ps.433,815, Ps.459,319, Ps.944,338, Ps.866,842, Ps.3,646,382, Ps.4,403,712,

F-111

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Ps.629,837 and Ps.4,039,802, respectively. These claims are based on Argentine jurisprudence that establishes the unconstitutionality of the rules disabling the application of the tax inflation adjustment, resulting in confiscatory situations. Considering the delay in the resolution by the Federal Administration of Public Revenue, the corresponding judicial claims were filed.

Identical claims were filed by other Group subsidiaries before the Federal Administration of Public Revenue: Tarjetas Cuyanas S.A., (Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. predecessor company), for 2014 and 2016 periods, for an amount of Ps.145,478, nominal value; Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U., for 2014 and 2016 periods, for a total amount of Ps.580,164, nominal value; and for 2015, 2017, and 2018 periods, for an amount of Ps.149,763, Ps.326,498, and Ps.973,843, nominal value, respectively. Considering the delay in the resolution by the Federal Administration of Public Revenue, the corresponding judicial claims were filed. On May 26, 2020, Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. filed before the AFIP a claim for the repetition of the Income Tax corresponding to 2019 period for Ps.1,364,949 in nominal value.

At the closing of these Financial Statements, the Group does not record contingent assets derived from the aforementioned presentations.

b) Consumer Protection Associations

Consumer Protection Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against Banco Galicia regarding the collection of certain fees, interest rates and financial charges.

The Group believes that the resolution of these controversies will not have a significant impact on its financial condition.

NOTE 48. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
---

In the normal course of business and in order to meet customers’ financing needs, off-balance sheet transactions are performed. These instruments expose the Group to the credit risk, in addition to loans recognized in assets. These financial instruments include credit lending commitments, letters of credit reserve, guarantees granted and acceptances.

The same credit policies for agreed credits, guarantees and loan granting are used. Outstanding commitments and guarantees do not represent an unusually high credit risk.

Agreed Credits

They are commitments to grant loans to a customer in a future date, subject to compliance with certain contractual agreements that usually have fixed maturity dates or other termination clauses and may require a fee payment.

Commitments are expected to expire without resorting to them. The total amounts of agreed commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s solvency is assessed case by case.

52.1.    CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEPOSIT INSURANCE SYSTEM

Law No. 24485 and Decree No. 540/95 established the creation of the Deposit Insurance System to cover the risk attached to bank deposits, in addition to the system of privileges and safeguards envisaged in the Financial Institutions Law.

The National Executive Branch through Decree No. 1127/98 established the maximum amount for this insurance system to demand deposits and time deposits denominated either in Pesos and/or in foreign currency. Such limit was set at Ps.1,500 as from May 1, 2020. This amount as of January 1, 2023 will increase to Ps.6,000.

This system does not cover deposits made by other financial institutions, deposits made by parties related to the Bank, either directly or indirectly, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees and those deposits set up at an interest rate exceeding the one established regularly by the Argentine Central Bank.

This system has been implemented through the creation of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“FGD”), which is managed by a company called Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (“SEDESA”). SEDESA’s shareholders are the Argentine Central Bank and the financial institutions in the proportion determined for each one by the Argentine Central Bank based on the contributions made to the fund.

52.7.    ISSUANCE OF DEBT SECURITIES

The issuance of debt securities is detailed in Notes 27 and 28.

52.8.    RESTRICTIONS FOR THE INCOME DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. should transfer 5% of the net income for the year to the Legal Reserve until 20% of the capital stock is reached, plus the balance of the Capital Adjustment account.

With respect to Banco Galicia, the Argentine Central Bank regulations require that 20% of the profits shown in the Income Statement at fiscal year-end, plus (or less), the adjustments made in previous fiscal years and, less, if any, the loss accumulated at previous fiscal year-end, be allocated to the legal reserve.

This proportion applies regardless of the ratio of the Legal Reserve fund to Capital Stock. Should the Legal Reserve be used to absorb losses, earnings shall be distributed only if the value of the Legal Reserve reaches 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment.

The Argentine Central Bank sets rules for the conditions under which financial institutions can make distributions of profits. According to these rules, profits can be distributed as long as results of operations are positive after deducting not only the Reserves, which may be legally and statutory required, but also the following items from Retained Income: The difference between the carrying amount and the market value of public sector assets and/or debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank not valued at market price, the amounts capitalized for lawsuits related to deposits and any unrecorded adjustments required by the external auditors or the Argentine Central Bank.

Table of Contents

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Moreover, in order that a financial institution be able to distribute profits, such institution must comply with the capital adequacy rule, i.e. with the calculation of minimum capital requirements and the regulatory capital.

For these purposes, this shall be done by deducting from its assets and Retained Income all the items mentioned in the paragraph above. Moreover, in such calculation, a financial institution shall not be able to compute the temporary reductions that affect minimum capital requirements, computable regulatory capital or its capital adequacy.

The Argentine Central Bank established that a capital conservation margin must be maintained in addition to the minimum capital requirement, equivalent to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets. Said margin must exclusively be integrated with level I, net of items deductibles. Income distribution will be limited when the level and composition of the institution’s Regulatory Capital puts said distribution within the range of the capital conservation margin.

The Argentine Central Bank provided that income distribution must be performed with its prior authorization.

Business Conduct Policy and/or Code of Ethics

Information Related to Personnel Economic Incentive Practices

The Human Resources and Governance Committee, composed of two (2) Directors, the General Manager and the Organizational Development and Human Resources Division Manager, is in charge of establishing the compensation policy for Banco Galicia’s personnel.

It is the policy of Banco Galicia to manage the full compensation of its personnel based on the principles of fairness, meritocracy, and justice, within the framework of the legal regulations in force.

The aim of this policy is to provide an objective and fair basis, through the design and implementation of tools for the management of the fixed and variable compensation paid to each employee, based on the scope and complexity of each position’s responsibilities, individual performance with regard to compliance thereof, contribution to the Bank’s results and conformity to market values, with the purpose of:

•Attracting and creating loyalty with regard to quality personnel suitable for the achievement of the business strategy and goals.

•Being an individual motivation means.

•Easing the decentralized management of compensation administration.

•Allowing the effective budget control of personnel costs.

•Guaranteeing the internal fairness in order to monitor and ensure both external and internal fairness with regard to the payment of fixed and variable compensation.

surveys published by consulting firms specialized in compensation issues, pursuant to the market positioning policies defined by the management division for the different corporate levels.

With the purpose of gearing individuals towards the achievement of attainable results that contribute to the global performance of the Bank/Area, and to the increase in motivation for the common attainment of goals, differentiating individual contribution, Banco Galicia has different variable compensation systems:

1)Business Incentives and/or Incentives through Commissions system for business areas.

2)Annual Bonus System for management levels, officers and the rest of the employees who are not included in the business incentives system. The annual bonus is determined based on individual performance and the Bank’s results and is paid in the first quarter of the next fiscal year. To determine the variable compensation for the Senior Management and Middle Management, the Bank uses the Management Performance Assessment System. This system has been designed including both qualitative and quantitative KPI (Key Performance Indicators). Criteria are all quantitative, and built considering at least three characteristics:

a)Results.

b)Business volume or size.

c)Projections: Indicators that protect the business for the future (For example: Quality, internal and external customer satisfaction, risk coverage, work environment, etc.).

The significance or impact of each of them is monitored and adjusted yearly pursuant to the strategy approved by the Board of Directors.

The interaction among these three aspects seeks to make incentives related to results and growth consistent with the risk thresholds determined by the Board of Directors. In turn, there is no deferred payment of variable compensation subject to the occurrence of future events or in the long term, taking into consideration that the business environment in the Argentine financial system is characterized by being mainly transactional, with lending and borrowing transactions with a very short seasoning term.

Annual budget and management control – the latter carried out monthly in a general manner and quarterly in a more detailed manner—include different risk ratios, including the ratio between compensation and risks undertaken. Variable compensation is only paid in cash. There are no share-based payments. Every change to this policy is submitted to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Human Resources Committee for its consideration.

Gender policies and practices implemented

The Group's Diversity strategy is made up of 2 lines of work: gender and disability.

This strategy has as its main objective the search for representation of women at all levels of the organization and the hiring of people with disabilities.

The Group uses the main initiatives, guidelines, standards and international certifications on gender as a guide; United Nations Global Compact; UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB); United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs).

As part of a strategy of good and exemplary practices in corporate governance, the Group seeks to promote gender-equitable integration in its subsidiaries, both in the Management body and in the Supervisory Committee.

As of December 31, 2023, the percentage (%) of women in the Group is as follows:

NOTE 53. ECONOMIC CONTEXT WHERE THE GROUP OPERATES

The Group operates in a complex economic context, both in the national and international spheres.

In the international arena, during the last quarter of 2023, the world’s Central Banks continued with their contractionary monetary policies, seeking to bring inflation to their target levels. This scenario, which began in 2022, favored a slowdown in prices, but negatively affected the level of activity in certain regions, such as Europe. In contrast, the United States maintained its growth, supported by both a solid level of consumption and a labor market that remained steady. This boosted the level of salaries, which led to higher service costs, pushing inflation sideways during the last quarter of the year. Against this context, the Federal Reserve maintained rates at 5.5% in order to achieve sufficiently restrictive levels for the economy, and thus slow down the level of activity. The same path was taken by the European Central Bank, which held interest rates steady at its last meeting. Against this context, the focus will be on the effects of these policies on both growth at world level and international markets.

At the local level, the main indicators in Argentina were:

•The country ended 2023 with a 1.6% drop in activity, according to the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator.

•Between January 1 and December 31, 2023, the accumulated inflation reached 211.4% (CPI).

•Between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Argentine peso depreciated against the US Dollar from Ps. 178.1417/USD at the beginning of the fiscal year to Ps. 808.4833/USD at the end of the fiscal year, in accordance with the Argentine Central Bank Communication “A” 3500.

•Since the end of 2019, the monetary authority has been imposing increasing foreign exchange restrictions in order to contain the demand for dollars. This implied, among other things, the requirement to request prior authorization from the Argentine Central Bank to make payments abroad in transactions such as the payment of dividends to non-residents, the payment of financial loans abroad and the payment of imports of certain goods and services, among others. These restrictions continued to intensify in 2023.

On December 10, 2023, a new government took office in Argentina, which has set among its objectives the establishment of a new economic regime in the country, for which a wide-ranging reform of laws and regulations is intended to take place.

The new government proposes to move forward with a significant deregulation of the economy and with structural reforms that will free up restrictions to invest and operate in the country, including the gradual easing of the aforementioned exchange restrictions, with the objective of eliminating them once the macroeconomic conditions to do so are in place.

On December 12, 2023, the Ministry of Economy presented the economic program of the new administration, whose cornerstone is to eliminate the fiscal deficit and its financing through money issuance by the Argentine Central Bank, as well as the strong expansion of interest-bearing liabilities resulting from sterilization operations. Another central element of the new program is the elimination of distortions, restrictions and bureaucratic obstacles and the correction of relative prices (especially the exchange rate and utility rates), as a prerequisite for stabilizing the economy.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.<br><br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Argentine GDP fell 1.6% in 2023. The economy displayed a retraction of 1.9% in seasonally adjusted terms with respect to the third quarter of 2023. Although at the time of publishing this report the National Accounts for the first quarter of 2024 have not yet been released, the performance of the Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity for the first month of the year is known. According to this indicator, the economy fell 4.3% year-over-year in January, while, in seasonally adjusted terms, the retraction was 1.2% month-over-month.

The Non-financial Public Sector showed a primary deficit of Ps. 5,483,305 million (equivalent to 2.9% of GDP), with total revenues falling in real terms in greater proportion than primary expenditure. Resources accumulated a real drop of 7.3%, while expenditure fell 4.9% (the comparison excludes income from primary issues computed in 2022, which exceeded the limit agreed with the International Monetary Fund). The financial deficit amounted to Ps. 8,737,137 million (-4.6% of GDP), with interests totaling Ps. 3,253,832 million. Additionally, the fiscal result for February 2024 was published, which showed a primary surplus of Ps. 1,232,525 million and a financial result of Ps. 338,112 million. Primary expenditure fell by 36.4% year-over-year in real terms, while revenues decreased by 6.3%.

International Reserves accumulated a drop of US$ 21,525 million, ending the year at US$ 23,073 million. This was the result of the variation of different factors such as the payment of principal and interest maturities to the International Monetary Fund, to other international organizations and to foreign currency debt holders, the fall in minimum cash requirements, the sales of foreign currency to the private sector during most of the year, the repurchase of sovereign bonds by the Treasury and the purchase of securities by the Central Bank. It is worth noting that, as of December 13, the Central Bank began to purchase foreign currency from the private sector, reversing the dynamic of falling Reserves evidenced during most of 2023. This change in trend occurred after the correction of the official exchange rate validated by the monetary entity. During the last two weeks of 2023, foreign currency purchases from the private sector totaled US$ 2,863 million and reserves increased by US$ 1,940 million. As of April 18, 2024, foreign exchange purchases from the private sector continued to show a positive balance and accumulated US$ 11,103 million so far this year.

The inflation rate closed the year at 211.4%, an increase of 116.6 p.p. with respect to inflation in 2022 (+94.8%). Inflation showed an increasing dynamic throughout 2023. The year had started with monthly average rates of 6.8%, while inflation was 8.3% in October, 12.8% in November and 25.5% in December. The acceleration in December was partly due to the rise in the exchange rate and to the correction of prices of some of the goods and services that had accumulated lags. On the other hand, after showing variations of 20.6% and 13.2% in January and February 2024, respectively, the third measurement of the year amounted to 11.0%. Thus, year-over-year inflation rose to 287.9%.

The exchange rate showed a crawling peg during most of the year. However, it did display discrete jumps on two occasions. The first took place on August 14, when the peso increased from $/US$ 286.2 to US$ 350 overnight . The second jump occurred on December 13, when the exchange rate went from $/US$ 366.5 to $/US$ 800.0, implying a discrete jump of 118.3%. In the weeks following this correction, the exchange rate maintained a daily crawl equivalent to 2.0% per month. The exchange rate closed 2023 at $/US$ 808.5, an increase of 356.4% with respect to the close of 2022. The crawling speed remained at the level of 2.0% per month during the first quarter of 2024 and is still in effect at the time of writing this report.

During 2023, the BCRA raised the interest rate on Liquidity Notes (LELIQ) on six occasions. The first increase took place in March, with rates rising from 75% to 78% (Nominal Annual Rate). In April the rate was increased twice, first from 78% to 81%, and then to 91%. In May, the benchmark interest rate increased to 97%, a level at which it remained until mid-August. After the primary elections, the monetary authority raised the interest rate to 118% and to 133% in October. On December 18, the Central Bank announced that the reference rate would be the Overnight Repo rate, and simultaneously cut it to 100%. Additionally, the Central Bank implemented a reduction in the minimum interest rate limits for time deposits of individuals, which went from 133% to 110%. Subsequently, on March 11, the monetary authority made a further cut in the reference rate, bringing it to 80%. It also deregulated the minimum rate on time deposits. Finally, on April 11, it made the last cut so far, bringing the monetary policy rate to 70%.

During January, the International Monetary Fund reported that its technical team had completed the seventh review of the Extended Fund Facility Agreement, which was approved by the IMF's Board of Directors. This allowed for a disbursement of approximately US$4,700 million (SDR 3,500 million). Part of this disbursement was used to cover the principal payment of approximately US$ 1,900 million to the IMF.

The EFF’s seventh review confirmed that the targets for primary fiscal deficit, monetary financing to the Treasury, accumulation of Net International Reserves (NIR) and domestic arrears for 2023 were not met. Additionally, a target for NIR accumulation of US$ 10,000 million and a primary fiscal surplus of 2% of GDP were set for 2024. At the same time, the monetary financing criterion was modified, and the target was set at $ 0 for the year.

In addition, the new government published a Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) which annuls and/or modifies some 300 laws, introducing reforms in the labor market, the customs code and the status of public companies, among others. Although the DNU must be approved and ratified by at least one of the chambers of the Congress, its provisions are effective as of December 29, 2023.

In addition, the Congress of the Nation held extraordinary sessions to deal with a series of legislative initiatives, among them a bill of "Omnibus Law" with tax reforms, including changes to the Civil and Commercial Code. However, the ruling party withdrew the bill after the lack of support for its approval.

The context of volatility and uncertainty continues as of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The Group’s Management permanently monitors the evolution of the variables that affect their business to define their course of action and identify the potential impacts on their equity and financial position. These consolidated financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.

Item 5.    Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

A. Operating Results

The following discussion and analysis are intended to help you understand and assess the significant changes and trends in our historical results of operations and the factors affecting our resources. You should read this section in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and their related notes included elsewhere in this annual report.

A.1 Overview

In recent years, we have strengthened our position as a leading domestic private-sector financial institution, increasing our market share of loans and deposits and strengthening Banco Galicia’s, our principal subsidiary, regulatory capital reserves through the issuance of subordinated bonds and follow-on equity offerings and internal profit origination.

Despite the deterioration of the Argentine economy, high levels of inflation and the devaluation of the Peso, in 2022 we were able to maintain our asset quality and adequately cover credit risks and maintain solvency, liquidity and profitability metrics at what we believe are reasonable levels.

In addition, uncertainty and volatility in the Argentine economy may increase as a series of challenges arise from the path towards the normalization of global economic activity after 3 years of the pandemic, the continuing increases in inflation levels in many developed countries and the changes in monetary policies expected to be put in place, and their impact on international prices, interest rates and level of economic activity.

Further, the war between Russia and Ukraine adds economic uncertainty, including its impact on global trade and commodity prices, which could also have an impact on the Argentine economy and on Grupo Financiero Galicia’s business.

Exhibit 99.1

In Argentina, in addition to the above listed conditions -e.g. high inflation, fiscal deficit and its financing, low level of economic growth, poverty-, we have to add political difficulties that arose in a year in which there are presidential elections, both in the ruling coalition and in opposition parties, which makes it even more difficult to achieve the necessary consensus to resolve urgent problems, such as a fiscal primary deficit reduction, limitations to monetary financing, tariff adjustments, the accumulation of international foreign reserves, and controlling the increase of public debt.

Considering all the above, fiscal year 2024 is expected to be a challenging year, but we are confident that we will be able to sustain adequate levels of liquidity, solvency and profitability, with a healthy asset quality.

A.2 The Argentine Economy

International markets are currently focusing on the consequences of the contractionary monetary policies adopted by major central banks around the world, as has been the focus since 2023. The rise in interest rates managed to push inflation back from its peak levels reached in 2022, and the concern now lies on when will inflation rates return to the monetary authorities' targets and the effect this could have on global growth. Added to this scenario is the geopolitical conflict that continues to escalate in the Middle East, which could put pressure on oil prices.

Within this context, the Federal Reserve kept its reference rate unchanged in the last meetings, remaining in the range of 5.25% - 5.5% since July 2023 (highest level since 2007). The European Central Bank marked the same path by leaving its reference rate at 4.5% since October 2023.

These measures succeeded in continuing the disinflationary trend that began in 2022, notwithstanding recent fluctuations observed in the preceding months. Specifically, the latest year-on-year figure for the United States was 3.5%, down from 5% a month earlier. On the other hand, the Eurozone showed a greater drop with the latest figure standing at 2.4% from the 6.9% it had recorded in March 2023. It is worth noting the importance of the fall in oil prices on the disinflationary dynamics during 2023. Crude oil had a lower global energy demand, especially during the last quarter of that year, which led its price to fall by 15.2% during this period. However, with the Middle East conflict on the rise, crude oil prices rebounded again, advancing by almost 20.1% in the first three months of 2024.

In this scenario, it becomes evident that while inflation metrics may approximate central banks' objectives, significant progress remains necessary, particularly within the services sector. In the United States, real wages were positive during the months prior to this form as a result of a labor market that remains solid. This favored consumption and led the country's growth to end up exceeding estimates, with the latest annualized GDP figure reaching 3.4%.

As a consequence of the latter, investors began to expect central banks to cut interest rates earlier than expected, which in turn, increased optimism and favored the markets, continuing the rally of the last half of 2023 during the first months of 2024. Specifically, the S&P and Nasdaq indices are up 8.3% and 7% year-to-date, respectively, both reaching new records and thus surpassing the previous highs recorded in November 2021. In the Eurozone, the Stoxx 600 advanced 5.6%, while China's Shanghai Composite, on the other hand, recorded a more moderate rise of 0.5%. Regarding fixed income, US Treasury bond yields showed greater aversion, advancing by almost 66 bps so far this year. Among other relevant variables, the DXY dollar index advanced 3.8% to 105.1%.

By the end of the first quarter of 2024, expectations of interest rate cuts were changing. While at the beginning of the year the first cut was projected to occur during the Federal Reserve Board March meeting, the outlook shifted and he first rates cut is now expected to occur in September 2024.

The main focus of this new year will be on the effects that high interest rates may have on market activities, given that regions such as China or Europe are already showing contractions in the services and industry segments. Given this scenario, investors expect central banks to ease their monetary policies during 2024. Despite this view, this rate adjustment will depend not only on factors endogenous to the economy, such as financial conditions and inflation, but also on exogenous factors, such as escalations in geopolitical conflicts.

Exhibit 99.1

At a local level, the economy began to show a decline in activity, after the recovery process observed during 2021-2022 as a consequence of the end of the pandemic. After growing 5.0% in 2022, the economy contracted around 1.6% in 2023. In particular, the drought that affected the 2022/23 season had a negative impact on the production of the agricultural sector. Conversely, there was a fall in the manufacturing industry but an increase in mining, oil and gas which expanded during 2023.

The unemployment rate decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023 (latest data available), reaching 5.7% of the economically active population. This figure compares with an unemployment rate of 6.3% in the same quarter of 2022 and with an unemployment rate of 7.0% for the same quarter of 2021. The activity and employment rates were at 48.6% and 45.8%, respectively. Urban poverty amounted to 41.7% of the population during the second half of 2023, and indigence reached 11.9%. Compared to the values for the same period in 2022, poverty and indigence increased from 39.2% and 8.1%, respectively. The monetary base ended 2023 with a balance of Ps.9,607,992 million, a year-over-year increase of 84.6%. The increase of the monetary base was mainly explained by the interest paid on the overnight repos and Liquidity Notes (LELIQ), and other factors such as the intervention of the BCRA in the secondary sovereign debt market in pesos and the net purchase of foreign currency to the private sector.

For instance, the monetary authority issued Ps.1,298,000 million in temporary advances during 2023, while the profit transfers amounted to Ps.400,000 million. Additionally, the BCRA issued Ps.16,327,458 million in interest corresponding to interest-bearing liabilities. These factors were combined with the expansion of pesos resulting from the purchase of foreign currency from the private sector (Ps.2,446,311 million), while the sales of dollars corresponding to the public sector generated a contraction of the monetary base (Ps.1,984,942 million).

However, the monetary base expansion was partially neutralized via the placement of overnight repos (Ps.22,119,002 million), while LELIQs generated an expansion of Ps.6,134,847 million. It is worth noting that during the last weeks of 2023, LELIQs stopped being used as an instrument for neutralizing peso issuance. The liquidity of the financial system that had been placed in LELIQ during the year was channeled through overnight repos with the BCRA, following changes by the monetary entity in the interest rate and in its monetary policy instrument. Finally, the other factor not included above also involved an issuance of pesos for Ps.5,161,275 million.

So far in 2024, the monetary base has expanded by Ps.1,996,685 million (data as of April, 3), driven by the accrual of interest on interest-bearing liabilities (Ps.7,262,226 million), the net purchase of foreign currency (Ps.5,685,824 million), the elimination of LELIQ ($1,486,737 million) and the Other factor ($498,901 million). The latter includes the absorption of pesos through the placement of BOPREAL (as defined below), the expansion through the purchase of BCRA securities in the secondary market and the execution of put options by financial institutions. On the other hand, Ps.8,217,380 million were absorbed via repos and Ps.4,720,624 million through Treasury operations, including the sale of government-issued securities, which the Treasury has been repurchasing from the BCRA.

In the meantime, the M2 measure of money supply (comprised by the currency held by the public and private sector's checking and savings accounts) registered an expansion of 169.9% at the end of December compared to the end of 2022. At March 2024, the increase in private M2 was 157.8% year-over-year.

Regarding domestic interest rates, the 28-day LELIQ rate was increased to 133% annually, with an increase of 58 percentage points (p.p.) during 2023. However, with the new administration, on December 18, 2023 the BCRA established that overnight repos would be the new monetary policy instrument, and at the same time it was announced that no more LELIQ would be put out to tender.

Additionally, the BCRA reduced the reference interest rate from 133% to 100%. The year closed with an increase of 25 p.p. with respect to the end of 2022, when the rate was 75%. As of 11 April 2024, it currently stands at 70%. The

Exhibit 99.1

BADLAR rate of private banks went from around 69.4% at the end of 2022 to 109.75% in December 2023. In addition, the BADLAR ended March 2024 at 70.88%.

The inflation rate closed 2023 at 211.4%, an increase of 116.6 p.p. regarding inflation in 2022 (+94.8%). Inflation showed a growing dynamic throughout 2023. The year had begun with average monthly rates of 6.8%, while fourth quarter inflation was 8.3% in October, 12.8% in November and 25.5% in December. The acceleration in December was partially driven by the rise in the exchange rate and the price correction of some of the goods and services that were accumulating delays. The first measurement of the year showed a variation of 20.6%, so the year-on-year rate amount rose to 254.2% in January, and slowed down in February to 13.2%, while the year-on-year rate climbed to 276.2%.

The exchange rate showed a daily variation or crawling peg for most of the last year. However, it verified discrete jumps on two occasions. The first took place on August 14th, 2023, the day on which the peso increased to Ps./US$ 350 from Ps./US$ 286.2, value it had closed the previous week. The second jump occurred on December 13th, 2023, when the exchange rate went from Ps./US$ 366.5 to Ps./US$ 800.0, implying an increase of 118.3%. In the following weeks, the exchange rate maintained a daily variation rate equivalent to 2.0% monthly. The exchange rate closed 2023 at Ps./US$ 808.5, an increase of 356.4% compared to the end of 2022. The crawling speed remained at the level of 2.0% per month during the first quarter of 2024 and remains at the same rate at the time of writing this report.

At the fiscal level, during 2023 tax resources grew 113.2% compared to the 78.8% year-on-year expansion in 2022. Primary spending expanded 123.0% in 2023, above the 70.5% of the previous year. However, the evolution of both variables was below the average inflation for the year (+133.5%), observing real falls of 7.0% and 4.9%. Thus, the national public sector registered a primary deficit of Ps.5,483,305 million, equivalent to -2.9% of GDP, which implies a deterioration compared to the primary result of 2022, which was -2.4%.

The financial deficit in 2023 amounted Ps.8,737,137 million (-4.6% of GDP), with interests that totaled Ps.3,253,832 million. This result implied a significant increase compared to 2022, representing 3.3% of GDP.

Additionally, the fiscal result for January and February 2024 was published, which presented an accumulated primary surplus of Ps.3,243,270 million and a financial surplus of Ps.856,520 million. Primary spending fell 38.0% year-over-year in real terms, while income dropped 2.5%.

In connection with regulatory matters, in December 2023 the new administration of President Milei eliminated the Import System of the Argentine Republic (SIRA), replacing it with a statistical and information system that does not require prior approval of licenses. In turn, the importers' debt was recorded in the commercial debt register, totaling US$42,600 million according to official sources. The BCRA launched a dollar title whose objective is to provide predictability regarding payments associated with the stock of commercial debt of importers accumulated until December 12, 2023 called Bond for the Reconstruction of a Free Argentina (BOPREAL).

In relation to the external sector, in 2023 the country's current account of the exchange balance published by the BCRA (cash basis) recorded a deficit of US$3,581 million, less than the surplus of US$4,779 million registered in 2022. In connection to GDP, the current account deficit was around -0.6%, showing a deterioration of 1.4 p.p. compared to the result of 0.8% in 2022.

The deterioration of the country's current account in 2023 was due to a lower trade balance of goods (US$ 12,486 million in 2023 versus US$ 21,817 million in 2022) and an increase in the net interest payment (US$ 9,534 million in 2023 ), which offset the reduction in net expenses for services (US$6,195 million in 2023 versus US$10,106 million in 2022). Additionally, the trade balance showed a 31.9% drop in export collections, which totaled US$61,663 million. Import payments fell 28.4%, totaling US$49,178 million in 2023. On the other hand, expenses for services fell by 22.7%, accumulating US$13,737 million.

Exhibit 99.1

Simultaneously, the capital and financial account of the exchange balance recorded a net outflow of foreign currency of US$18,092 million in 2023, a figure that is compared to a net income of US$2,138 million in 2022. By the end of 2023, the BCRA's International Reserves amounted to US$23,073 million, US$21,525 million lower than a year earlier.

On Wednesday, January 10, the International Monetary Fund announced that its technical team had completed the seventh review of the Extended Fund Facility Agreement. On January 31, the IMF's Directors Board approved this review, after which a disbursement of approximately US$ 4,700 million (SDR 3,500 million) was made. Part of that disbursement was used to cover the capital payment of approximately US$ 1,900 million to the IMF.

With the publication of the seventh review, the non-compliance with the goals of primary fiscal deficit, monetary financing to the Treasury, accumulation of Net International Reserves (NIR) and domestic arrears for 2023 was confirmed. Additionally, a NIR accumulation goal was set for 2024 at US$ 10,000 million, while another one was established for the primary fiscal surplus at 2% of GDP. Accordingly, the monetary financing criterion was modified and set at Ps.0 for the year.

A.3 The Argentine Financial System

____________________

(1)As of December 31, 2023, Banco Galicia had a net assets foreign currency position of Ps.1,160,058 million (US$711.8 million) after adjusting its on-balance sheet net assets position of Ps.1,048,414 million (US$643.3 million) by net forward purchases of foreign currency without delivery of the underlying liability, for Ps.111,644 million (US$68.5 million), recorded off-balance sheet.

Funding of Banco Galicia’s long position in CER/UVA-adjusted assets through Peso-denominated liabilities bearing a market interest rate (and no principal adjustment linked to inflation) exposes Banco Galicia to differential fluctuations in the inflation rate and in market interest rates, with a significant increase in market interest rates vis-à-vis the inflation rate (which is reflected in the CER/UVA variation), which in turn has a negative impact on our gross brokerage margin.

Two other currencies have been defined apart from the Argentine Peso: assets and liabilities adjusted by CER/UVA and foreign currency. Banco Galicia’s policy in effect establishes limits in terms of maximum “net asset positions” (assets denominated in a currency which are higher than the liabilities denominated in such currency) and “net liability positions” (assets denominated in a currency which are lower than the liabilities denominated in such currency) for mismatches in foreign currency, as a proportion of Banco Galicia’s RPC, on a consolidated basis. An adequate balance between assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency characterizes the management strategy for this risk factor, seeking to achieve full coverage of long-term asset-liability mismatches and allowing a short-term mismatch management margin that contributes to the possibility of improving certain market situations. Short- and long-term goals are attained by appropriately managing assets and liabilities and by using the financial products available in our market, particularly “dollar futures” both in institutionalized markets (MAE and Mercado a Término de Rosario (ROFEX)) and in forward transactions performed with customers. Transactions in foreign currency futures (specifically, dollar futures) are subject to limits that take into consideration the particular characteristics of each trading environment.

A.7 Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(1)Does not include deposits with the BCRA, which constitute one of the items by which Banco Galicia complies with the BCRA’s minimum cash requirements.

As of December 31, 2023, the exposure to the public sector amounted to Ps.7,224,304 million, a decrease of 10% as compared to Ps.8,064,274 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the debt securities issued by the BCRA, the Bank’s exposure amounted to Ps.4,299,701 million equal to 25% of total assets.

A.10 Funding

Banco Galicia’s and Naranja X’ lending activities are our main asset-generating businesses. Accordingly, most of our borrowing and liquidity needs are associated with these activities. We also have liquidity needs at the level of our holding company, which are discussed in Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”—B. “Liquidity and Capital Resources”—“Liquidity-Holding Company on an Individual Basis”. Our objective is to maintain cost-effective and well diversified funding to support current and future asset growth in our businesses. For this, we rely on diverse sources of funding. The use and availability of funding sources depends on market conditions, both local and foreign, and prevailing interest rates. Market conditions in Argentina include a structurally limited availability of domestic long-term funding.

Our funding activities and liquidity planning are integrated into our asset and liability management and our financial risks management and policies. The liquidity policy of Grupo Financiero Galicia is described in Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”—B. “Liquidity and Capital Resources”—“Liquidity Management” and

Exhibit 99.1

our other financial risk policies, including interest rate, currency and market risks are described in Item 11. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”. Our funding sources are discussed below.

Traditionally, our primary source of funding has been Banco Galicia’s deposit taking activity. Although Banco Galicia has access to BCRA financing, management does not view this as a primary source of funding in line with our overall strategies discussed herein. Other important sources of funding have traditionally included issuing foreign currency-denominated medium and long-term debt securities issued in foreign capital markets and borrowing from international banks and multilateral credit agencies. Banco Galicia entered into a master loan agreement with the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) in 2016, for US$130 million, divided into two parts, one with the purpose of providing funding via long-term loans to SMEs and the other part with the purpose of funding renewable energy projects and efficiency energy power projects. Additionally, Banco Galicia entered into a master bond agreement with the IFC for US$100 million in order to expand its loan program for environmental efficiency projects. As of the date hereof, the debt outstanding pursuant to the master loan agreement entered into with the IFC amounts to US$27 million. On the other hand, as of the date hereof, the debt outstanding pursuant to the master bond agreements with the IFC amounts to US$44 million.

Selling government securities under repurchase agreement transactions has been a recurrent source of funding for Banco Galicia. Although not presently a key source of funding, repurchase agreement transactions are part of the liquidity policy of the Bank. Within its liquidity policy, Banco Galicia considers its unencumbered liquid government securities holdings as part of its available excess liquidity. See Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” —B. “Liquidity and Capital Resources”—“Liquidity Management”.

Naranja X funds its business through the issuance of debt securities in the local and international capital markets, borrowing from local financial institutions and debt with merchants generated in the ordinary course of business of any credit card issuing company. In 2022, Naranja X issued debt securities in an amount equal to Ps.104,520 million and US$7.5 million.

As of December 31, 2023, deposits represented 56% of our funding, a decrease from the 64% of our funding that it represented as of December 31, 2022. Our deposit base decreased 14% in 2023 as compared to 2022. During fiscal year 2023, the Ps.1,940,221 million decrease in deposits was due to a decrease in amounts on deposit in our time deposits from Ps.5,315,218 million in December 2022 to Ps.2,339,264 million in December 2023, offset by an increase in saving accounts for Ps.1,337,385. For more information on deposits, see Item 4. “Information on the Company”—B. “Business Overview” — “Selected Statistical Information”—“Deposits”.

As of December 31, 2023, credit lines from international financial institutions amounted to Ps.7,729 million, which corresponded to amounts received from the IFC pursuant to a loan agreement. Also as of December 31, 2023, correspondents amounted to Ps.2,044 million and financing from local financial institutions totaled Ps.205,659 million, of this total Ps.190,718 million corresponded to agreements with banks and Ps.12,464 million corresponded to amounts received from the BICE (Argentine subsidiary of development bank called BICE “Banco de Inversion y Comercio Exterior”).

Exhibit 99.1

Our debt securities outstanding (only principal) were Ps.601,372 million as of December 31, 2023, as compared to Ps.707,513 million as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of 15%.

ii) Debt Programs

On March 9, 2009, Grupo Financiero Galicia’s shareholders, during an ordinary shareholders’ meeting, and the Board of Directors created a global short-,medium- and long-term notes program, for a maximum outstanding amount of US$60 million. This program was authorized by the CNV pursuant to Resolution No.16,113 of April 29, 2009.

In August 2012, during an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, it was decided to ratify the decision made at the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held in April 2010 with regard to the approval of the US$40 million increase in the amount of Grupo Financiero Galicia’s global notes program. Therefore, once approved by the CNV, the amount was for up to US$100 million or its equivalent in other currencies. On May 8, 2014, the CNV, pursuant to Resolution No.17,343, granted an extension of the debt program for another five-year period. On August 6, 2019, the CNV, pursuant to Resolution No. DI-2019-63-APN-GE#CNV granted an extension of the debt program for another five-year period.

Currently, Grupo Financiero Galicia does not have any outstanding debt under its notes program that was put into place in 2009.

Exhibit 99.1

Banco Galicia has a program in place for the issuance and re-issuance of non-convertible notes, subordinated or non-subordinated, floating or fixed-rate, secured or unsecured, with a term from 30 days to up to 30 years, for a maximum outstanding principal amount of up to US$483.25 million. This program was originally approved by the CNV on November 4, 2005 and was most recently extended on April 4, 2020 by the CNV until April 4, 2025. Pursuant to Resolution No.18,480, the CNV also approved an increase of the maximum outstanding principal amount under the program to US$1,100 million. Pursuant to Resolution No.19,520, dated May 17, 2018, the CNV approved an increase of the maximum outstanding principal amount under the program to US$2,100 million and the modification of the terms and conditions of the same.

Banco Galicia, also has a program for frequent issuance of notes, approved by the CNV on November 13, 2019; and registered under the number 11 for a maximum outstanding principal amount of US$2,100 million.

Naranja has a Global Short-Term, Medium-Term and Long-Term Note Program (the "Program") for the issuance of up to US$1,000 million (or the equivalent amount in other currencies) that was approved by the CNV on May 10, 2018. Such notes may be unsecured or secured, denominated in Pesos, Dollars or, at Naranja’s option, in other currencies, with maturities of not less than 30 days after their issuance date. Also, such Notes may be offered in separate classes and/or series and may be re-issued, as applicable, in the amounts, at the prices and under the conditions to be established and specified in the applicable pricing supplement. On February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors of Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. approved the extension of the term of the Program for 5 years. Then, on March 18, 2020, the National Securities Commission authorized said extension through Provision No. DI-2020-20-APN-GE#CNV.

Additionally, Naranja applied to the CNV to be registered as a frequent issuer, which was granted by Provision No. DI-2022-39-APN-GE#CNV on July 22, 2022. The status of a frequent issuer must be renewed annually, with the most recent renewal granted by Provision No. DI-2023-10-APN-GE#CNV on April 10, 2023. As of today, Naranja is processing the renewal for 2024.The program contains certain restrictions on liens, subject to the provisions established in the applicable pricing supplement with respect to each class and/or series of notes, so long as any note issued under such program remains outstanding.

Certain notes issued under Naranja’s program are subject to covenants that limit the ability of Naranja and their subsidiaries, subject to important qualifications and exceptions such as to: (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution in respect of its capital stock; (ii) redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock; (iii) make certain restricted payments; (iv) consolidate, merge or transfer assets; and (v) incur in any indebtedness, among others.

A.12 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet risks mainly arise from Banco Galicia’s activities. In the normal course of its business and in order to meet customer financing needs, Grupo Galicia is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These instruments expose us to credit risk in addition to loans recognized on our consolidated balance sheets. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and guarantees.

The same internal regulations and policies apply for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and guarantees. Outstanding commitments and guarantees do not represent an unusually high credit risk for Grupo Galicia.

i) Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer at a future date, subject to meeting certain contractual terms. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent actual future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

ii) Guarantees

Guarantees are agreements and/or commitments to reimburse or make payment on account of any losses or non-payments by a borrower in an event of default scenario and include surety guarantees in connection with transactions between two parties.

iii) Stand-By Letters of Credit and Foreign Trade Transactions

Standby letters of credit and guarantees granted are conditional commitments issued by Banco Galicia to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Banco Galicia also provides conditional commitments for foreign trade transactions.

Exhibit 99.1

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, guarantees granted and acceptances is represented by the contractual notional amount of those investments.

Our credit exposure related to these items as of December 31, 2023 is set forth below:

December 31, 2023
(in millions of Pesos, as of September, 2024)
Agreed Commitments 495,548
Export and Import Documentary Credits 36,840
Guarantees Granted 771,148
Responsibilities for Foreign Trade Transactions 36,920

The credit risk of these instruments is similar as the credit risk associated with credit facilities provided to individuals and companies. To provide guarantees to our customers, we may require counter-guarantees, which are classified as follows:

December 31, 2023
(in millions of Pesos, as of September, 2024)
Other Preferred Guarantees Received 34,298
Other Guarantees Received 23,704

In addition, checks to be debited and credited, notes, invoices and miscellaneous items subject to collection are recorded in memorandum accounts until such instruments are approved or accepted.

The risk of loss in these offsetting transactions is not significant.

December 31, 2023
(in millions of Pesos, as of September, 2024)
Checks and Drafts to be Debited 158,059
Checks and Drafts to be Credited 149,684
Values for Collection 1,057,210

Grupo Galicia acts as trustee pursuant to trust agreements to secure obligations in connection with financing transaction undertaken by its customers. The amount of funds and securities held in trust as of December 31, 2023 is as follows:

December 31, 2023
(in millions of Pesos, as of September, 2024)
Trust Funds 37,060
Securities Held in Custody 34,652,716

These funds and securities are not included in Grupo Galicia’s consolidated financial statements as it does not have control over the same. For additional information regarding off-balance sheet financial instruments, see Note 48 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

A.13 Principal Trends

i) Related to Argentina

During this year, the focus will be on the correction of macroeconomic imbalances that the new Government will carry out. Javier Milei's administration started with an exchange rate correction in mid-December 2023, which allowed the

Exhibit 99.1

BCRA to purchase foreign currency and accumulate international reserves again. The initial jump in the exchange rate, added to the relative price correction initiated in December, resulted in an acceleration of inflation by the end of 2023 which is expected to last during the first months of 2024.

A competitive exchange rate, together with the recovery of the harvested volume during the 2023/24 season, are expected to generate more favorable conditions to accumulate reserves. The BCRA's ability to continue buying foreign currency will also be affected by the way in which the importers' debt with their foreign suppliers is solved. Once international reserves are replenished, the regulations that continue to restrict access to the foreign exchange and financial markets could be relaxed.

The country is in need to achieve fiscal balance with the purpose of eliminating financing from the BCRA to the Treasury. Such need makes it necessary for the Government to apply an upward adjustment in public services' rates, given that the virtual freezing of tariffs in recent years has led to a fall in the ratio coverage of utilities supply costs, adding pressure on Government spending on economic subsidies. However, the absorption of pesos by the BCRA, together with the fall in monetary balances in real terms, would help inflation rates moderate once the aforementioned rate corrections are implemented.

The sustainability of the implemented corrections is subject to the achievement of the fiscal balance goal. Whether said goal is achieved will depend on the approval of tax increases (increase in withholdings on exports), the reversal of the changes made to the Income Tax and the implementation of a moratorium, among other measurements that could be taken by the Government. These measurements, in turn, will be subject to the degree of governability of the new administration and its ability to reach consensus with the different actors in the political sphere.

Economic activity will be negatively affected by the corrections adopted during the first months of the year. However, the gain in competitiveness will likely help the dynamism of the tradable sectors. In addition, there is expected to be a recovery in the harvest after the sharp drop seen during the previous season which could cushion part of the negative performance expected for certain sectors, particularly those linked to mass consumption.

ii) Related to the Financial System

The Argentine financial system will continue to interact mainly with the private sector, with short-term financing and impositions, while maintaining high levels of liquidity. The profits of entities in the financial system are currently greatly influenced by the context of high inflation. In any case, banks are expected to continue recording positive real profits, allowing capitalization levels to be maintained above minimum requirements. The current levels of irregular coverage with accounting provisions constitute another of the strengths of the financial system. The low leverage compared regionally in companies and families demonstrates the potential of Argentine financial entities.

Within the above scheme, Grupo Financiero Galicia (through Banco Galicia) will further its objective of strengthening its leadership position in the market. The quality of its products and services provided to current and future customers will continue to be the central focus, in addition to continuing the process of improving operational efficiency as a key factor in generating value both for customers and shareholders.

iii) Related to Us

We believe that 2024 will be marked by uncertainty, as previously mentioned. In a context of weak economic recovery and clear pressure on prices, we expect the BCRA and the Government to gradually reduce the regulations on our operations. In that regard, they have already eliminated the minimum interest rate for term deposits. We also anticipate a reduced volume of subsidized credit lines for the SME sector, or the removal or adjustment of maximum interest rates for some loan lines, among others.

Exhibit 99.1

During the first quarter of the year, increased inflation significantly exceeded the efforts from the BCRA to achieve positive interest rates in real terms. Looking forward, we expect consecutive rate increases that should help reduce inflation levels towards the end of the year.

With the aforementioned macroeconomic framework, we foresee the following possible impacts on Banco Galicia’s operations:

Although the Company's financial income could continue to be adversely impacted by maximum lending interest rates, a demand driven by subsidized credit and a reduction in system volumes, we expect our financial income to improve as compared to the previous year due to an increase in real interest rates expected to happen within the year 2024.

It is expected that the deceleration of prices will reduce the risk of exposure to inflation by non-monetary assets, which would benefit the Bank's financial revenues.

On the other hand, the compression of interest rates is likely to reduce the financial intermediation margins, which could be partially offset by an increase in volumes in the latter part of the year. We anticipate that this increase in volumes will occur partly organically, through an increase in our market share of deposits and loans.

Despite regulations limiting prices' increase and restrictions to access the FX Market, fee income is expected to increase in 2024 due to to efficiencies generated in the lines of business.

Given the undergoing digital transformation, Banco Galicia is becoming more efficient and such efficiencies are translated into more stable administrative expenses compared to the previous year.

In sum, the Bank’s business is expected to improve during 2024 relative to the previous year provided that the depicted macroeconomic scenario holds; i.e., experience higher monetary policy rates in real terms, reduce macroeconomic imbalances and avoid a run against the peso. However, Banco Galicia’s current liquidity and solvency levels will allow it to cope with this situation.

With respect to Naranja X, as it is a credit-and-consumption-related business, it is certainly difficult for us to make any forecast for the coming months due to the current high level of economic volatility. Based on the 2024 Argentine budget this year is expected to be marked by the aftermath of the economic crisis in Argentina and the estimated impact will be reflected in a potential drop in the volume of operations or customer transactions. Therefore, revenue obtained from services will be affected. Loan and other receivables loss provisions will increase as a consequence of the general impact of the economic environment.

Within this context, the risks and opportunities faced by Naranja X are worth highlighting. Among the risks, the country's economic instability in recent years represents one of the greatest challenges. The years of activity contraction, exchange rate volatility, high inflation, changing regulations on the sector and the implementation of reforms with uncertain results are only some examples of the challenges faced by the financial sector in general, and by Naranja X in particular.

However, Naranja X is committed to becoming the most humane and popular technological and financial platform in Argentina, with a familiar approach to its client which will allow it to scale with simplicity and massiveness, new products and services, facilitating inclusion and financial education.

On the other hand, Sudamericana does not foresee significant consequences on their business during 2024, either in economic or financial terms.

During 2024, Galicia Retiro will continue to offer its Retiro Individual in pesos, although there is not expected to be a focus on increasing the placement of the same.

Exhibit 99.1

In addition, during 2024 Galicia Seguros expects to continue implementing its strategic plan from prior years, with the aim of sustaining the growth obtained in previous years. The company will continue to work to expand its business through Banco Galicia and Naranja X’s various customer channels, as well as through the continued development of its existing sales channels by offering new products, through the application of new means of contacts and sale, and through the potential offering of insurance underwriting in new property lines.

Likewise, it plans to continue to focus on the following objectives: (i) promoting the growth of its business and offering complementary products to the core business of Banco Galicia and its subsidiaries, adjusted to the needs of each one of the segments; (ii) expanding the sale of insurance for companies; (iii) improving management efficiency in order to support the growth of its business volume, and implementing updates to its administration system; (iv) consolidating its position in relation to personal insurance, taking advantage of synergies with the financial group and developing the open market and additional channels; (v) maintaining its efforts to contain the level of expenses and obtain the projected revenue levels; and (vi) promoting a very good internal climate and being elected as an excellent company to work for by its staff.

All these actions are intended to enhance sales and billing volumes in a context aimed at continuing to obtain adequate levels of profitability.

As for Galicia Asset Management, it is estimated that, in 2023, it will obtain a growth in the volume of assets under management and will maintain its leading position in the Argentine industry by leading the Argentine fund market. The current economic context suggests that investments will be concentrated primarily in money market or short-term bond funds, and to a lesser extent in the rest of the funds. In addition, this line of business plans to continue to deepen and expand the marketing of its products through the use of distribution and placement agents, a niche that is expected to continue to grow.

The organizational structure within the company is expected to remain stable during the year, and this company plans to continue to focus on the automation of its services and on the roll out of technological changes being implemented across the Grupo Galicia family that are aimed at improving efficiency and their customer’s digital experience.

The operational management of the Grupo Financiero Galicia’s subsidiaries is currently stable, hopefully enabling us to comply with the needs and demands of our customers and of the control and supervision bodies. The implementation of work from home policies for our employees and our technological infrastructure have become invaluable tools to remain operative.

During 2024, Grupo Financiero Galicia will continue with the objective of strengthening its leadership position in the market, paying attention to the profitability of the business, leveraged by expansion and attraction of new clients. Grupo Financiero Galicia believes that this strategy is only possible to the extent that a differentiating experience is provided to its customers, which is based on digital transformation and the simplicity of the proposal.

The search for simplicity in offering products and services to its customers, as well as safer and more efficient processes are objectives that allow Grupo Financiero Galicia to face significant growth and generate operational efficiency at the same time. Tailoring offers to clients and segment and focusing on improving its customers' experience are the keys for their continuing to choose Grupo Financiero Galicia. Focusing on these pillars the Company hopes to leverage new lines of business, such as NAVE, new companies, such as Inviu and Nera, or mergers, such as those of Naranja and Naranja Digital.

The business growth of all the companies that make up Grupo Financiero Galicia takes place within the framework of a sustainable management. To this end, we will continue to seek new opportunities aimed at the common good and care for the environment.

The Board of Directors is closely monitoring the context in which we operate and taking all the required measures within their reach to preserve human life and our operations.

Exhibit 99.1

The analysis of these trends should be read in conjunction with the discussion in Item 3. “Key Information”— D. “Risk Factors”, and with consideration that the Argentine economy has been historically volatile, which has negatively affected the volume and growth of the financial system.

B.3 Liquidity Management

i) Liquidity Gaps

Exhibit 99.1

Liquidity risk is the risk that Grupo Financiero Galicia does not have a sufficient level of liquid assets to meet its contractual commitments and the operational needs of the business without affecting market prices. The goal of liquidity management is to maintain an adequate level of liquid assets that allows it to meet financial commitments at contractual maturity, take advantage of potential investment opportunities and meet demand for credit. To monitor and control liquidity risk, Grupo Financiero Galicia monitors and systematically calculates gaps in liquidity through the application of an internal model that is subject to periodic review.

Grupo Financiero Galicia’s liquidity policy covers three areas of liquidity risk:

•Stock Liquidity: The excess amount of cash and liquid assets above the legal minimum cash requirements, taking into account the characteristics and performance of Banco Galicia’s different liabilities, as well as the nature of the assets that provide such liquidity.

•Cash Flow Liquidity: Gaps between the contractual maturities of consolidated financial assets and liabilities.

•Concentration of Deposits: The concentration of deposits is regulated in terms of the top leading customers and the following 50 customers. A maximum limit with respect to the share in deposits is determined on an individual basis for such customers.

Exhibit 99.1

As of December 31, 2023, the consolidated gaps between maturities of Grupo Financiero Galicia's financial assets and liabilities based on contractual remaining maturity were as follows:

(*) Principal plus UVA adjustment. Does not include interest.

(1)Includes, mainly, debt with retailers due to credit card operations, liabilities in connection with repurchase transactions, debt with domestic credit agencies and collections for third parties.

The table above is prepared taking into account contractual maturity. Therefore, all financial assets and liabilities with no maturity date are included in the “Less than One Year” category.

Banco Galicia must comply with a maximum limit set by its board of directors for liquidity mismatches. This limit has been established at -25% (minus 25%) for the ratio of cumulative gap to total liabilities within the first year. Banco Galicia complies with the established policy, since such gap was of 9.0% as of December 2023.

ii) Banco Galicia Liquidity Management

Exhibit 99.1

The following is a discussion of Banco Galicia’s liquidity management.

Banco Galicia’s policy is to maintain a level of liquid assets that allows it to meet financial commitments at contractual maturity, take advantage of potential investment opportunities, and meet customer’s credit demand. To set the appropriate level, forecasts are made based on historical experience and on an analysis of possible scenarios. This enables management to project funding needs and alternative funding sources, as well as excess liquidity and placement strategies for such funds. As of December 31, 2023, Banco Galicia’s liquidity structure was as follows:

December 31, 2023
(in millions of Pesos, as of September, 2024)
Legal Requirement 1,108,725
Management Liquidity 1,363,782
Total Liquidity 2,472,507

Legal requirements correspond to the minimum cash requirements for Peso- and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as per the rules and regulations of the BCRA.

The assets that can be taken into account for compliance with this requirement are the balances of the Peso- and foreign currency-denominated deposit accounts at the BCRA, the liquidity bills and Bote 2027, and the escrow accounts held at the BCRA in favor of clearing houses.

Management liquidity, defined as a percentage over deposits and other liabilities, is made up of the following items: balances of checking accounts held by the BCRA exceeding minimum cash requirements, Letes, Leliq and placements held by the BCRA, overnight placements in banks abroad, net short-term interbank loans (call loans), technical cash and placements at the BCRA in excess of the amounts necessary to cover minimum cash requirements.
