Buenos Aires, August 11, 2014 - BBVA Frances (NYSE: BFR.N; BCBA: FRAN.BA;
LATIBEX: BFR.LA) reports consolidated second quarter earnings for fiscal year 2014.
Highlights
| • | | BBVA Francés net income for the second quarter of 2014 was AR$ 399.1 million, accumulating AR$ 1,761.2 million in the first six months of the year. |
| • | | Net financial income grew 49.5% compared to the second quarter of 2013; such growth is mainly due to a higher intermediation with the private sector and higher income from foreign exchange difference and the futures position. Net financial income fell in comparison to the previous quarter, mainly due to the appreciation of the exchange rate that took place in January 2014. |
| • | | In terms of activity, the private sector loan portfolio totaled AR$ 37.9 billion, increasing 20.3% in the last twelve months and 3.4% during the quarter. |
| • | | Regarding asset quality, BBVA Francés has maintained the best asset quality indicators in the Argentine financial system, in an environment that has shown signs of deterioration. The non-performing loan ratio (non-performing loans/total loans) reached 0.97% as of June 30, 2014, with a coverage ratio (provisions/non-performing loans) of 218.19%. |
| • | | Total deposits reached AR$ 48.1 billion, increasing 30.1% in the last twelve months and 7.0% during the quarter. |
| • | | BBVA Francés maintained adequate levels of liquidity and solvency. As of June 30, 2014 liquid assets (Cash and due from banks plus BCRA bills and notes) represented 40.0% of the Bank’s total deposits. The capital ratio reached 15.8% of weighted risk assets; with an excess of capital of AR$ 4.4 billon, which represents 91.2% over the minimum regulatory requirements. |
| • | | On June 10, 2014, the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) issued Communications “A “ 5590- 5591- 5592, through which, it adopted a set of rules regarding the reference interest rate for personal loans and car loans granted to retail customers, that are not considered as micro, small and medium size companies (MiPyMEs). In addition, it established new rules regarding fees and charges for basic financial products and services. Beginning on the effective date of the rule, financial institutions must have prior authorization from the Central Bank to implement increases to the cost of those services. The rule also specifically defines which financial services are considered basic. Finally, the rule defines the Total Nominal Annual Financial Cost (Costo Financiero Total Annual or CFT). From now on, the Nominal Annual Interest Rate will be use as the sole expression of financing CFT. |
| • | | The BCRA extended the line of credits for investment projects for the second half of 2014 through its Communication “A” 5600. Banks must allocate 5.5% of total deposits to small and medium size companies (PyMEs) at a fixed rate of 19.5% and for a minimum term of three years. Each financial entity may allocate 35% of the quote to discount deferred payment checks. |
Other events
| • | | During July, 2014 the Bank made cash dividend payments for a total amount of AR$ 28.8 million. |
| • | | On July 18, 2014, the Bank issued series 10 and 11 of its bonds (Obligaciones Negociables), which were fully subscribed and paid for a total amount of AR$ 233.8 million due in 18 months and AR$ 165.9 million due in 36 months, respectively. |
Economic Environment
The Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity (known by its acronym in Spanish as EMAE) registered a fall of 0.2% in May 2014 compared to May 2013, but increased 0.5% (seasonally adjusted) compared to April 2014. As a result, the EMAE grew 0.1% in April-May compared to the first quarter of 2014.
In the industrial sector, the Monthly Industrial Estimator fell 0.5% in April-May compared to the first quarter of 2014, while it decreased 4.5% in comparison with the same two-month period of 2013. In the construction sector, the Synthetic Index of Construction Activity increased 2.6% in April-May 2014, in comparison to the first quarter of the year, but decreased 3.6% with respect to the same two-month period of 2013.
Inflation, measured since January by the new official National and Urban Consumer Price Index (which is use to calculate the CER adjustment for some sovereign bonds) increased by 4.6% in the second quarter of 2014. The new index is national in scope (compared to the previously used indicator which covered the Greater Buenos Aires area) and uses the year 2013 as a base year (2013=100). Given this change, no historical data exists and it is not possible to make a comparative analysis with the previous rates.
The national public sector fiscal balance showed a primary surplus of AR$ 3.7 billion during April-May 2014 compared to a surplus of AR$ 3.1 billion in the same period of 2013, an increase of 20.4 %. Primary public sector spending increased 42.2% and public sector revenues had a smaller increase, of 41.6 % during the same period.
Tax revenues increased by 35.9% due to a significant increase in export duties (73.7% q/q) and Income tax (37.5% q/q). Tax revenues were reinforced by the increase in results from the BCRA and transfers from the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) to the National Treasury.
Interest payments increased by 34.3% during April and May and the total deficit reached AR$ 5.4 billion,
an increase of 45.9% compared to the same period in 2013. Increased expending in current expenditures, public firms deficit and transfers to the private sector (by 64.1%) were primarily responsible for the increase in primary spending in the period.
In the external sector, the accumulated trade surplus reached USD 3.6 billion during the second quarter of 2014, 2.3% lower than that recorded in the same period of 2013. The performance of the trade balance is the result of total exports in the period of 2014 of USD 20.9 billion (-10.9%) and total imports of USD 17.3 billion (-12.5%).
In the FX market, the exchange rate (BCRA reference rate) closed at AR$ 8.13 per U.S. dollar on June 30, 2014, increasing 1.5% compared to the AR$ 8.01 rate registered on March 31, 2014 and 56.4% from the same period of the previous year.
In the second quarter of 2014, the stock of international reserves of the BCRA increased by USD 2.3 billion to USD 29.3 billion as of June 30, 2014. During the quarter, the Central Bank purchased USD 4.1 billion in the FX market, an increase over the USD 0.4 billion purchased during previous quarter.
The Badlar interest rate for private banks increased 17 b.p. in the second quarter of 2014, averaging 24.7% compared to a 24.5% average in the first quarter of 2014.
Private sector loans in pesos increased 2.6% compared to the first quarter of 2014, while private sector loans in dollars grew by 12.2%.
Total deposits in pesos in the financial system increased by 5.4% during the same period, private sector deposits in pesos increased by 21.1% and 5.6% in dollars.

- 2 -
The transactional plan is crucial to the Bank’s business strategy. Its goal is to place BBVA Francés as the leading bank for its clients, managing all their collections and payments and cementing customer’s loyalty. The plan involves all banking segments: retail, middle-market and corporate & investment banking division and consolidates the customer-centric vision motto.
In March 2014, the BBVA Group announced the development of a Digital Banking division, an area that has the dual mission of accelerating the transformation of the Group and promoting the development of new digital businesses.
Following the Group’s guidelines and understanding the digital transformation of its business, BBVA Francés began the process of redesigning its website and Frances Net, focusing on the clients’ experiences and new features that will make it much more user-friendly.
The construction of the BBVA Tower in Buenos Aires continuous, reaching almost 30%. The new BBVA Francés headquarters will be located at the building under construction by Consultatio Real State and within the framework of the plan designed by BBVA Francés for unification of its core areas.
During the second quarter of 2014 BBVA Francés continued to develop a series of commercial projects:
In the retail segment, during the first week of June the Bank organized the “Fashion Week” and offered its clients up to 15% discounts in more than 60 leading clothing brands all over the country. Moreover, those clients using the BBVA Lanpass program obtained a 5% additional discount.
Continuing its strategic alliance with LAN, BBVA Francés offered the chance of redeem LANPASS KMs for up to 40% discount on tickets to fly to various destinations in Argentina and up to 30% off the purchase of tickets.
It is also important to highlight that BBVA Francés continues with its expansion plan. A new VIP Space was opened at branch 202 in the City of Córdoba, and three new branches were opened during July: one in Chascomús, Buenos Aires, another one in Las Heras, Santa Cruz, and the last one in Colón, Entre Ríos.
Within this framework, the Bank has also been developing a plan to improve the image and premises of its branches with 94 buildings under renovation all over the country including the update of ATSs. As a result, the Bank plans to have 300 ATSs, self-service equipment with intelligent deposit and extended hours (7am-10pm), installed by the end of the year with the goal of providing customers with the highest quality service and excellence.
In the commercial segment and understanding the needs of its clients, during May 2014, BBVA Francés gave a series of courses to 120 managers and PyME officers on the use of a new tool called “PyME and Businesses” that allows traceability in the loan application managing process as well as improving efficiency and productivity in a segment that is of special interest to the Bank.
During May 2014 BBVA Francés was also part of the issuance of YPF S.A.’s Class XXXI-XXXII-XXXIII notes as one of the main arrangers and placement agents. Class XXXI notes were issued for an amount of AR$ 200 million to retail investors and the Classes XXXII and XXXIII were issued for an amount of AR$ 1,000 million to institutional investors.
The “BBVA Francés 2014 Social Compromise Plan”, with an initial investment of more than AR$ 15.9 million allocated to several areas to benefit society, establishes three lines of work: the “BBVA Scholarships for Inclusion program (“Becas de Integración BBVA Francés”) and its related programs (“Artists for Education”, “Sportsmen for Education”, “Mayors for Education” and “Analysis and Investigation”), the Environment Preservation Program and the Program encouraging entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector.
Under the Artists for Education program, in June 2014, the Bank sponsored the Teatro Colón Ballet’s performance of Don Quixote in the province of San Luis. Thus, the 2014 National Tour Company of the Ballet of the Teatro Colón has had great success and acclaim in the cities of Rosario, Córdoba, Mendoza, San Luis and Santa Fe for the third year in a row. Also, under the auspices of the same BBVA Frances sponsorship program, the Teatro Colón Children’s Choir performed at the “Iguazú in Concert” festival.
BBVA Francés together with the Boca Juniors soccer team awarded 60 scholarships under the “BBVA Francés Scholarships for Inclusion” program to children from the city of Buenos Aires and its surroundings in an event that took place at the branch “Catedral” branch in Buenos Aires.
Lastly, BBVA Frances in partnership with Cáritas, opened a new Scholarship Center at San Miguel de Tucumán. The center has been opened thanks to Cáritas initiative to allocate part of its raised funds to one of our programs.

During the second quarter of 2014, BBVA Francés reached recurring net income of AR$ 488.9 million, registering an increase of 17.6% compared to the same quarter of 2013, whereas compared to the first quarter of 2014; it registered a significant decrease mainly due to the appreciation of the exchange rate that took place on January 2014.
Net financial income grew 39.2% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, whereas it declined compared to the previous quarter. The drop in the results for foreign exchange difference and the futures position plus the loss generated by the public bond portfolio offset the gain registered by the intermediation with the private sector.
Provisions for loan losses increased both compared to the second quarter of 2013 and to the previous quarter, mainly due to the deterioration of the portfolio.
Net income from services increased 33.9% and 11.7% compared to the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Administrative expenses increased 40.6% and 8.8%, respectively, during the same periods.
On the other hand, the higher proportional income tax rate is a consequence of the tax revaluation of the Bogar 20 portfolio that took place during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Net income form services increased by 33.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same quarter of 2013 and by 11.7% compared to the previous quarter.
In the annual comparison, growth was due mainly to higher consumption with credit cards, fees associated with insurance and fees generated by an increase in the stock of deposit accounts. Such growth was partially offset by an increase in service charge expenses related to promotions associated with the LANPASS kilometers program.
In the quarterly comparison, income from services increased 8.4% due to higher fees generated by credit and debit cards purchases and insurance sales. Service charge expenses did not register variation during the period.

Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses increased by 40.6% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and 8.8% compared to the previous quarter of 2014.
Personnel expenses, during both periods, mainly reflected the impact of the wage increase and a higher number of employees.
General expenses increased 46.3% compared to the second quarter of 2013 as a consequence of a higher volume of activity, as well as the increase in prices and the effect of the devaluation over agreements denominated in dollar terms, mainly related to advertisement and technology.
Compared to the previous quarter, growth was 7.5%, during the second quarter of 2014. Commercial actions with the alliances (LAN, Francés Go), that
were re-designed at the beginning of the year were implemented during the second quarter. These expenses were partially offset by lower expenses in fees due to lower activity in consulting and legal costs (seasonally). Similarly, electricity and communications in lower consumptions were also recorded.
As of June 30, 2014, the Bank and its subsidiaries had 5,338 employees, an increase of 161 employees in the last twelve months. In addition the Bank has an extensive branch office network of 275 offices, including 245 consumer branch offices and 30 branch offices specializing in middle-market segment companies and institutions.

Income from Equity Investments
Income from equity investments sets forth net income from related companies that are not consolidated. During the second quarter of 2014, a gain of AR$ 42.5 million was recorded, mainly due to the stake held by BBVA Francés in Rombo Compañía
Financiera and the annual revaluation for the stake in Internbanking, registered during the quarter.
