Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (hereinafter, either “BBVA Argentina”, the “Entity” or the “Bank”) is a corporation (“sociedad anónima”) incorporated under the laws of Argentina, operating as a universal bank with a network of 247 national branches.

Since December 1996, BBVA Argentina is part of the global strategy of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. (hereinafter referred to as “BBVA” or the “Parent”), which directly and indirectly controls the Entity, by holding 66.55% of the share capital as of September 30, 2020.

These consolidated interim financial statements include the Entity and its subsidiary companies (collectively referred to as the “Group”).

The financial statements of the subsidiaries were prepared as of the same dates and for the same periods as those of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. The financial statements of PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. and Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. were prepared considering the financial reporting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) for Group “B” financial institutions, without considering the model established in paragraph 5.5. “Impairment” of IFRS 9 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, as stated in Note 2 to these consolidated condensed interim financial statements. As from October 2020, PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. and Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. will become Group “C” financial institutions, maintaining the same accounting framework of Group “B” financial institutions.

The Entity’s subsidiaries are listed below:

• BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión: corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina as an agent for the management of mutual funds;

• Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. undergoing liquidation proceedings (“Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. undergoing liquidation proceedings”): corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina undergoing liquidation proceedings. On December 4, 2008, Law No. 26425 was enacted, providing for the elimination and replacement of the capitalization regime that was part of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, with a single government regime named the Argentine Integrated Retirement and Pensions System (SIPA). Consequently, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. ceased to manage the resources that were part of the individual capitalization accounts of affiliates and beneficiaries of the capitalization regime of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, which were transferred to the Guarantee Fund for the Sustainability of the Argentine Retirement and Pension Regime as they were already invested, and the Argentine Social Security Office (ANSES) is now the sole and exclusive owner of those assets and rights. Likewise, on October 29, 2009, the ANSES issued Resolution No. 290/2009, whereby retirement and pension funds managers interested in reconverting their corporate purpose to manage the funds for voluntary contributions and deposits held by participants in their capitalization accounts had 30 business days to express their intention to that end. On December 28, 2009, based on the foregoing and taking into consideration that it is impossible for Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. to comply with the corporate purpose for which it was incorporated, it was resolved, at a Unanimous General and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to approve the dissolution and subsequent liquidation of that company effective as of December 31, 2009;

• PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. (“PSA”): a financial company incorporated under the laws of Argentina engaged in the granting of pledge loans; and

• Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. (“VWFS”): a financial company incorporated under the laws of Argentina engaged in the granting of pledge loans.

Argentine Capital Markets Law No. 26831, enacted on December 28, 2012 and amended by Law No. 27440 dated May 11, 2018, subsequently regulated through General Resolution No. 622/13 and General Resolution No. 731/2018 issued by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), establishes in Section 47 that agents have an obligation to register with the CNV to act in the market in any of the capacities set forth in such law. On September 9 and 19, 2014, the Entity was registered as an Agent for the Custody of Mutual Funds under No. 4 and as a Comprehensive Clearing and Settlement Agent under No. 42. On August 7, 2014, the subsidiary BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión was registered as a Mutual Fund Agent under No. 3.

Part of the Entity’s stock capital is publicly traded and has been registered with the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and the Madrid Stock Exchange.

1.2 Economic context

The Bank continues to operate in a complex economic context, signaled by the persistence of high levels of inflation along with a sharp drop in the level of activity. The scenario is accompanied by volatile financial variables, including, among others, a country risk indicator that has increased after the successful renegotiation of sovereign debt, as well as the imputed exchange rates impacting the outstanding public debt denominated in foreign currency.

As of the date of these financial statements, and as a result of the favorable evolution of the health situation, Decree 875/2020 dated November 9, 2020 has established, for several regions of the country, the transition from the Mandatory Social Preventive Lockdown stage to the Mandatory Social Preventive Distancing stage, applicable to Buenos Aires Metropolitan region (AMBA), Córdoba, Mendoza, Entre Ríos, Corrientes, Misiones, Salta, Tucumán, Jujuy, Catamarca, La Rioja and 35 districts in the Province of Buenos Aires, among others.

In particular, and concerning financial assets, the Argentine Government issued Decree No. 596/2019 dated August 28, 2019, putting off the maturity of short-term securities (Letes, Lecap, Lecer, and Lelink). Furthermore, by means of Decree No. 49/2019 dated December 19, 2019, the Argentine Government put off the repayment of US-dollar denominated Treasury Bills until August 31, 2020.

Against this backdrop, on December 23, 2019, the Public Emergency, Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law (the “Economic Emergency Law”) was published in the Official Gazette, declaring Argentina in economic, financial, administrative, social security, energy, public health and social emergency until December 31, 2020.

The Economic Emergency Law has also put off until December 31, 2021 the reduction of the income tax rate (see Note 15) and 2017 Fiscal Covenant which established a gradual decrease in turnover tax until December 31, 2020.

In addition, Decree No. 141/2020 dated February 11, 2020 rolled over the repayment of Argentina’s dual currency bonds due in 2020 (“Bonos de la Nación Argentina en Moneda Dual Vencimiento 2020”) to September 30, 2020, while interrupting the accrual of interest on such instruments. In addition, Decree No. 346/2020 dated April 5, 2020 mandated the deferral of principal and interest payments on Argentina’s sovereign debt in the form of US dollar-denominated securities issued under Argentine law until December 31, 2020, or until such other earlier date as the Ministry of Economy may determine from time to time, considering the progress made against and the execution of the process to restore Argentina’s public debt sustainability.

As mentioned in the preceding paragraph and pursuant to the provisions of Decrees No. 141/20 and 193/20, on July 17, 2020, the Bank exchanged US dollar-denominated Lelinks with a nominal value of 224,675,000, the original maturity of which (December 4, 2019) had been extended, for the following securities:

- 11 -

• Argentine Treasury bonds in pesos adjusted by CER + 1.4% due March 25, 2023 (BONCER 2023) with a nominal value of 2,675,346,340, with interest payable semi-annually and principal repayable in full upon maturity; and

• Argentine Treasury Bonds in pesos adjusted by CER + 1.5% due March 25, 2024 (BONCER 2024) with a nominal value of 6,240,472,351, with interest payable semi-annually and principal payable in full upon maturity.

The bonds received in exchange are measured at fair value through OCI.

On September 1, 2019, the Argentine Government published Executive Decree No. 609/2019 setting forth extraordinary and interim guidelines concerning the foreign exchange market. Besides, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6770, as amended, whereby, among other measures, it provided that up to and including December 31, 2019, the BCRA’s previous consent would be required to access the foreign exchange market for the remittance of profits and dividends, payment of services to foreign related companies, and early payment of financial debts (principal and interest) over three business days before their due date. Then, on December 30, 2019, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6856, establishing that the preceding provisions would remain in force on and after December 31, 2019. As of the date of these financial statements, the BCRA has issued further regulations imposing new restrictions to access the exchange market.

1.3 COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic, due to its fast pace of proliferation to more than 150 countries. Most governments took restrictive measures to contain the spread, including, without limitation, social distancing, confinement, lockdowns, and restrictions to the free movement of people, closure of governmental and private facilities other than those deemed essential (i.e., heath, food, fuel and communication facilities), border closures, and drastic reductions in transportation by air, sea, railroad and land.

As for Argentina, where the Entity operates, on March 12, 2020, Executive Decree No. 260/2020, as amended, was issued, declaring the country in health emergency in order to cope with the crisis brought about by the COVID-19. Finally, on March 19, 2020, Executive Decree No. 297/2020 was issued, mandating social and preventive lockdown measures, effective from March 20, 2020 through November 8, 2020, pursuant to successive extensions established by subsequent Decrees published in the Official Gazette. By means of Decree No. 875/2020 dated November 7, 2020, the Executive Branch established mandatory social preventive distancing until November 29, 2020 and extended until such date the effectiveness of Decree No. 297/2020 for people residing in or located in urban agglomerations and in the districts or provinces not complying with the epidemiological and health parameters therein set forth.

The measures adopted by the Executive Branch originally led to the slowdown or suspension of most non-essential activities carried out by individuals and, as such, have had significant impact on the economy at the national, regional and global levels, due to the disruption or slowdown of supply chains, coupled with rising economic uncertainty, as evidenced by the increased volatility in asset prices and exchange rates, and a decline in long-term interest rates. Then, due to the epidemiological evolution in different regions of the country, the restrictive measures progressively became more flexible, allowing to gradually resume economic and personal activities.

In an effort to address the challenges brought about by the pandemic, the BCRA took several measures primarily aimed at facilitating credit access by economic players, including, without limitation:

a) eased calculation of days in arrears and suspension of certain mandatory reclassification provisions for purposes of the classification and setting up of provisions for the financial system’s debtors classification and allowance assessment, according to the BCRA’s rules and regulations;

b) restrictions on positions held by entities in Bills issued by the BCRA (LELIQs);

- 12 -

c) credit facilities to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) at an annual nominal interest rate of 24% to cover working capital requirements or to pay for wages;

d) extension of the payment term of credit card outstanding balances, and suspended indexation of mortgage loan payments until September 30, 2020;

e) suspended hikes in fees and commissions from February 19, 2020, for a term of 180 days; and hikes from November 5, 2020 with maximum percentages allowed by the BCRA. Such percentages shall be communicated to the BCRA at least 30 days prior to date scheduled to inform the user and they shall only be applied 60 days after the users have been informed. This implies that the nearest effective date for these increases will be early February 2021;

f) ceiling rates on credit card financing arrangements and floor rates on time deposits;

g) new credit facilities at a subsidized interest rate of 24%, including a special tranche for Argentine-sourced capital goods and minimum requirements for companies which had no access to bank loans;

h) implementation of corporate loans at subsidized interest rates under the Employment and Production Emergency Assistance Program, which interest rates are determined considering the year-on-year changes in the company’s turnover, and zero-interest rate credit facilities in pesos for taxpayers under the simplified tax regime and self-employed workers engaged in cultural activities; and

i) new scheme of Financing line for productive investment of MiPyme that Group “A” financial institutions are required to maintain from October 16, 2020 to March 31, 2021, for financing of investment projects, working capital and discount of deferred checks and other documents, and other special cases with maximum rate ranging from 30% to 35% and maximum terms ranging from 24 to 36 months, depending on the allocation of funds.

In addition, the distribution of profits by financial institutions was suspended until December 31, 2020.

The events described in the preceding Notes 1.2. and 1.3. impact the Entity’s operations, while also affecting the calculation of expected losses under IFRS 9 and the valuation of debt instruments issued by the government sector, by decreasing the financial margin and restricting the Entity’s ability to charge fees and commissions on certain activities.

As of September 30, 2020, minimum capital and minimum cash surpass the minimum thresholds required by the BCRA, with no deficiencies in these ratios being expected for the following twelve months.

The Entity’s management monitors the development of these events on an ongoing basis in order to define the potential actions to be taken and identify their impact on its financial position.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, these events have not had any significant impact on the Entity’s financial position, the results of its operations and/or its cash flows. Management estimates that, if at least current activity levels are maintained, they will not have a significant impact in the future, either.

2. Basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 were prepared in accordance with the reporting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) pursuant to which entities under its supervision are required to submit financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the following exceptions (“financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA”):

a) Impairment of financial assets

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6847 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has applied the expected loss model set forth under paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9, except for debt instruments issued by the non-financial government sector which were temporarily excluded from the scope of such standard. If the Entity had applied the impairment model established in paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9, its shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 would have been reduced by 3,001,377 and 4,415,774, respectively, net of the deferred tax effect.

- 13 -

In addition, on March 19, 2020, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6938 deferring the application of the impairment model set forth in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9 until fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” institutions (institutions consolidated by the Bank), which would remain subject to the impairment model established by the BCRA through Communication “A” 2950, as amended. Such model requires that financial institutions recognize an allowance for loan losses based on the minimum guidelines set forth by the BCRA.

b) Measurement of the remaining investment held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.

By means of Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019, the BCRA established the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. recognized under “Investments in Equity Instruments” as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (see Note 16).

c) Uncertain tax positions

The BCRA issued Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be afforded to uncertain tax positions. Had the IFRS treatment regarding uncertain tax positions been applied, liabilities would have decreased by 5,447,078 and 6,661,166 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

d) Registration of exchanged debt securities of the government sector

By means of Communication “A” 7014, the BCRA mandated that debt securities issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured at the carrying value of the instruments delivered in replacement on such date (Note 6.2). According to the IFRS, these instruments should be accounted for at fair value, recognizing in profit or loss the difference with the carrying value of the instruments delivered. Had the IFRS been applied, the effect would not have been significant.

The exceptions described above imply a deviation from the IFRS.

As this is an interim period, the Entity has opted to present condensed information, pursuant to the guidelines of IAS No. 34 “Interim Financial Information”; therefore, not all the information required for the preparation of complete financial statements under IFRS is included. Therefore, these financial statements should be read jointly with the financial statements as of December 31, 2019. However, explanatory notes of events and transactions that are material for understanding any changes in the financial position as from December 31, 2019 are included.

Furthermore, the BCRA, through Communications “A” 6323 and 6324 set forth guidelines for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements of financial institutions for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, including the additional reporting requirements as well as the information to be submitted as Exhibits.

These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. as of November 24, 2020.

3. Functional and presentation currency

The Bank considers the Argentine Peso as the functional and presentation currency. All amounts are stated in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise stated.

As mentioned in Note 5.1, the Entity presents all the periods reflected in these financial statements in constant currency as of September 30, 2020.

4. Accounting estimates and judgments

Significant judgments made by the Board of Directors in the application of accounting policies as well as the premises and estimates on uncertainties as of September 30, 2020 were the same as those described in Note 4.1. and 4.2. to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

- 14 -

In addition, the Group applies the same methodologies for the assessment of fair values and the same criteria for the classification of fair value levels as those described in Note 4.3. to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

However, the level of significance of nonobservable inputs used to determine the fair value hierarchy of loans and other financing at amortized cost has been reviewed, resulting in a higher exposure, classified as Level 3.

5. Significant accounting policies

In preparing these consolidated condensed financial statements, the Entity applied the same accounting policies as those relied on in preparing its financial statements as of December 31, 2019, with the following exceptions:

• The adoption of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” (“IAS 29”), as mandated by the BCRA through Communication “A” 6651, and

• A change in the method applied for the calculation of the impairment of financial assets according to Communication “A” 6778 issued by the BCRA, which established the adoption of the expected loss model set forth under paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9 to calculate allowances for loan losses, temporarily excluding debt instruments issued by the non-financial government sector from the scope of such standard (“IFRS 9 as per BCRA”) for Group “A” institutions.

Below is a description of the new accounting policies applied by the Entity:

5.1. Adoption of IAS 29

IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in the measuring unit current at the reporting period end. IAS 29 provides certain qualitative and quantitative guidelines to determine the existence of a hyperinflationary economy. Accordingly, hyperinflation shall be deemed to exist where the last three years’ cumulative inflation approaches or exceeds 100%. In Argentina, consensus has been reached among local professional associations in that, commencing on July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy should be regarded as hyperinflationary based on the guidelines established in IAS 29.

By means of Communication “A” 6651, as amended, the BCRA mandated the retroactive application of IAS 29 to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

Entities should rely on the following price indexes for such purposes:

• for items subsequent to December 2016: Consumer Price Index (CPI) compiled by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (“INDEC”); and

• for items previous to December 2016: The price index released by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE).

Under IAS 29, assets and liabilities which are not stated in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period should be adjusted for the pertinent price index. The adjusted value of a non-monetary item is written down if it exceeds its recoverable value.

The Entity recognized the impact of the adoption of IAS 29 at the beginning of the first comparative period (January 1, 2019) under Unappropriated retained earnings. All items of the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income are restated into the measuring unit current at the reporting period end (September 30, 2020). The gain or loss on net monetary position is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Gain (loss) on net monetary position”, except for gains or losses related to investments in equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognized in real terms under “Net income from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss” in the consolidated statement of income, and financial instruments at fair value through OCI, which are included in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, pursuant to Communication “A” 6849 of the BCRA.

- 15 -

The Bank prepares its financial statements based on the historical cost approach, and has applied the guidelines of IAS 29 as follows:

a) the statement of financial position as of January 1, 2019 was restated, which is the oldest financial information reported;

b) the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2019 was restated;

c) the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 were restated, calculating and separately disclosing the gain or loss on net monetary position;

d) the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019 was restated;

e) the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020 was restated;

f) the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 were restated, calculating and separately disclosing the gain or loss on net monetary position.

In applying IAS 29 to the statement of financial position, the Bank has relied on the following methodology and criteria:

a) Non-monetary assets and liabilities were restated applying the price index from their date of addition. The restated amounts were written down to their recoverable values, applying the pertinent IFRS, where appropriate.

b) Monetary assets and liabilities were not restated.

c) Assets and liabilities contractually related to changes in prices, such as index-linked securities and loans, were measured on the basis of the pertinent contract.

d) The measurement of investments accounted for under the equity method was based on associates’ and joint businesses’ information prepared in accordance with IAS 29.

e) Deferred income tax assets and liabilities were recalculated on the basis of the restated amounts.

f) As of January 1, 2019, all shareholders’ equity items, other than Unappropriated retained earnings, were restated by applying the price index, as from the date of contribution or origination. In subsequent periods, all shareholders’ equity items were restated applying the price index since the beginning of the year, or since the contribution date, if later.

In applying IAS 29 to the statements of income, other comprehensive income and cash flows, the Bank has relied on the following methodology and criteria:

a) all items of the statements of income, other comprehensive income and cash flows were restated into the measuring unit current at September 30, 2020;

b) the gain or loss on net monetary position is recognized in the statement of income (with the exceptions mentioned above regarding investments in equity instruments at fair value and securities at fair value through OCI); and

c) gains or losses on cash and cash equivalents are disclosed in the statement of cash flows separately from the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as a reconciling item between cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and at the end of the period.

5.2. Impairment of financial assets

By means of Communication “A” 6778, as amended, the BCRA established the adoption of the expected loss model set forth under paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9 to calculate allowances for loan losses, excluding debt instruments issued by the non-financial government sector from the scope of such standard (“IFRS 9 as per BCRA”), effective since January 1, 2020 for Group “A” institutions, with retroactive effects. The impact of the change in accounting policy is recognized in Unappropriated retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which is the transition date.

Below is a description of the accounting policy applied in preparing these financial statements and before:

a) Since January 1, 2020

The Bank recognizes an allowance for loan losses on the basis of the expected credit loss model, for the following financial instruments which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss:

• financial assets that are debt instruments,

• lease receivables,

• financial guarantee contracts, and

• loan commitments.

No impairment is recognized in respect of debt instruments issued by the non-financial government sector or in respect of equity instruments.

The Bank measures the allowance for loan losses as the expected credit losses for the following twelve months on financial instruments (other than lease receivables) which have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The expected credit losses for the following 12 months represent the portion of expected credit losses resulting from a default event on a financial instrument which is likely to occur within 12 months after the reporting period end.

As for the rest, the Bank measures the allowance for loan losses at an amount equal to the expected credit losses throughout the instrument lifetime.

An allowance for loan losses related to lease receivables is always measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses throughout the instrument lifetime.

Measurement of expected credit losses (ECL)

ECLs are a weighted average, which is calculated by considering:

• financial assets that are not impaired at the reporting period end: the present value of the difference between cash flows owing to the Bank calculated on the basis of contractual terms, and the cash flows the Bank expects to receive;

• financial assets that are impaired at the reporting period end: it is the difference between the carrying amount (before allowances) and the estimated present value of future cash flows;

• undisbursed loan commitments: the present value of the difference between contractual cash flows if the Bank grants a loan, and the cash flows the Bank expects to receive;

• financial guarantee contracts: payments expected to be reimbursed to the guarantee holder, net of any amount the Bank expects to recover.

Restructured financial assets

If the terms of a financial asset are renegotiated or amended, or if the financial asset is replaced for another one as a consequence of debtor’s financial distress, then such financial asset will be assessed for derecognition, and an allowance for loan losses will be calculated as follows.

• If the expected restructuring does not result in the derecognition of the existing asset, then, the expected cash flows from the restructured financial asset is considered;

• If the expected restructuring results in the derecognition of the existing asset, then, the fair value of the new asset is considered as the final cash flow from the existing financial asset.

- 18 -

Impaired financial assets

At each reporting period end, the Bank assesses assets measured at amortized cost and debt instruments (financial assets) measured at fair value through OCI for impairment. A financial asset is impaired when one or more events have occurred having a negative impact on the estimated cash flows from the financial asset.

Evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes the following observable inputs:

• borrower’s or issuer’s significant financial distress,

• contractual breach,

• restructuring of a loan under conditions the Bank would not otherwise agree to,

• when borrower is likely to go into bankruptcy or other form of financial reorganization, or

• disappearance of an active market for a security due to issuer’s financial distress.

A loan that was renegotiated due to an impairment in borrower’s credit status is usually deemed impaired, unless objective evidence exists that the risk of not receiving contractual cash flows has decreased, with no other evidence of impairment. In addition, a consumer loan over 90 days past due is deemed impaired.

Recognition of the allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized as follows:

• Financial assets measured at amortized cost: as a write-down of the asset carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

• Financial assets measured at fair value through OCI: no allowance is recognized in the statement of financial position because the assets are measured at fair value. However, the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in OCI.

• Loan commitments and financial guarantees contracts: recognized under the line Provision for contingent commitments under liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Derecognitions

Loans are derecognized (partially or totally) when there are no realistic expectations of recovery.

b) Prior to January 1, 2020

Prior to January 1, 2020, the Entity recognized the impairment of financial assets according to Communication “A” 2950, as amended, issued by the BCRA. As mandated by such regulation, the Bank was required to:

• classify debtors based on their “status” pursuant to the guidelines of the BCRA, and

• recognize an allowance for loan losses based on a schedule that indicates the percentage rates to be accrued for, taking into consideration debtor’s standing and guarantees in force.

The BCRA required that customers within the “commercial portfolio” be analyzed and classified on an individual basis. The commercial portfolio included loans exceeding an amount set forth by the BCRA, with repayment being related to the course of customer’s productive or business activity. The assessment of debtor’s repayment capacity was based on financial flows estimated on the basis of updated financial information and industry parameters, taking into consideration other circumstances of the business activity.

The “consumer portfolio”, in turn, was analyzed globally, and debtors were classified based on the days in arrears. The consumer portfolio included consumer loans, housing loans and loans up to an amount set forth by the BCRA.

Increases in the allowance for loan losses related to “Loans and other financing” were recognized in “Loan loss allowances” in the consolidated Statement of income.

d) Accounting policy applicable to Group “B” financial institutions (consolidated subsidiaries PSA and VWFS)

As mentioned in Note 2 to these financial statements, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6938 deferring the application of the impairment model set forth in paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 until the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” financial institutions. Therefore, such financial institutions shall continue applying the model for recognizing loan losses from financial assets established by the BCRA by way of Communication “A” 2950, as amended.

5.3 Comparative information

The consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020 is presented on a comparative basis to the balances for the previous year-end, while the consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, and their related notes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, are presented on a comparative basis to the balances as of the same period of the previous year. The comparative information was restated and includes the changes indicated in Note 5.1 to these condensed interim financial statements.

6. IFRS issued but not yet effective for financial institutions

6.1 New regulations

Pursuant to the provisions of Communication “A” 6114 issued by the BCRA, as the new IFRS are approved, or the current IFRS are modified or repealed and, once such changes are adopted by means of the Adoption Circulars issued by the FACPCE, the BCRA shall issue a statement of its approval for financial institutions. In general, early adoption of an IFRS shall not be allowed, unless specifically admitted when adopted.

The IASB issued “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)”, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Such amendment:

• clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period;

• clarifies that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and

• makes clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.

Moreover, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16 “Leases – COVID-19-related rent concessions”. This amendment applies to annual presentation periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. A practical expedient is added, whereby the lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. In this way, upon making such election, lessees shall account for any change in the lease payments resulting from such a concession, as if the change were not a lease modification, provided that certain conditions are met.

These amendments were not early adopted by the Bank in these condensed interim financial statements.

6.2 Other amendments to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA

By means of Communication “A” 7014 dated May 14, 2020, the BCRA mandated that, since then, debt instruments issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured upon initial recognition at the carrying amount as of that date of the instruments delivered in replacement. Therefore, such exchange does not have an impact on the statement of income. There are no other standards which have not come effective yet and which are expected to have a material impact on the Entity.

9. Derivatives

Bank:

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank carried out foreign currency forward transactions with daily or upon-maturity settlement of differences, with no delivery of the underlying asset and interest rate swap transactions. These transactions do not qualify as hedging pursuant to IFRS 9—“Financial Instruments”.

The aforementioned instruments are measured at fair value and were recognized in the consolidated condensed statement of financial position in the item “Derivative instruments”. Changes in fair values were recognized in the consolidated condensed Statement of Income in “Net income/(loss) from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss”.

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank has accounted for premiums from put options taken in respect of the Bank’s right to sell its equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. to the buyer as of December 30, 2021. Such equity interest was measured at fair value, as calculated by management in reliance of a report prepared by independent appraisers (Note 43).

As of the same date, the Bank has premiums from call options taken and premiums from call options offered. Both of them were made with BBVA Madrid on September 23, and are due on December 18, 2020. They are valued at their fair value as of September 30, 2020.

Subsidiaries:

As of December 31, 2019, PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. performed interest rate swaps with third parties, which are recognized by the subsidiaries as cash flow hedge. The actual portion of the cumulative change in the fair value of swaps pending subsequent recognition in income is recognized in other comprehensive income under the caption “Profits or losses from hedge instruments—Cash flow hedge.” The balance sheet, profit & loss, and comprehensive income balances related to swaps entered into by and between the Bank and its subsidiaries were eliminated during the consolidation process.

		(5,839,355	)		(7,889,253	)

Pursuant to IAS No. 34, income tax is recognized in interim periods over the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate expected by the Entity for the fiscal year.

The Group’s effective rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was 39%, while for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, it was 26%.

Law No. 27468 amended the transition rules set forth by Law No. 27,430 regarding the application of the inflation adjustment for tax purposes under the Income Tax Law, establishing that such adjustment will be applicable for fiscal years beginning on and after January 1, 2018, provided the changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), calculated from the beginning to the end of the fiscal year, are in excess of fifty five per cent (55%) during the first fiscal year, thirty per cent (30%) during the second fiscal year, and fifteen per cent (15%) during the third fiscal year. According to such law, one third of the resulting inflation adjustment, whether gain or loss, shall be recognized during that fiscal year, with the remaining two thirds being computed, in equal parts, over the two immediately following fiscal years.

The Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law—published in the Official Gazette on December 23, 2019—maintains the inflation adjustment mechanism set out under Title VI of the Income Tax Law. Nevertheless, one sixth of the resulting inflation adjustment amount for the first and second fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2019 should be recognized during that fiscal year, with the remaining five sixths being computed, in equal parts, over the five immediately following fiscal years.

Furthermore, the Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law provides for the discontinuance of the application of the 25% income tax rate established under Section 86, paragraph d), of Law No. 27430 until fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2022. For as long as application of such rate remains suspended, the income tax rate will amount to 30%. Accordingly, the application of the 13% income tax rate on dividend distributions has also been suspended for the same fiscal years. Such rate has been set at 7%.

Considering that, as of the date of these financial statements, the changes in the CPI are expected to surpass the 15% limit applicable to the third year, the Entity’s management has included the estimated tax loss for inflation in the provision for income tax. The effect of the deferral of the respective five sixths has been recognized as a deferred tax asset.

• Income tax—Inflation adjustment for tax purposes. Fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

On May 10, 2017, May 10, 2018 and May 13, 2019, and based on related case law, the Entity approved the filing of actions for declaratory judgment of unconstitutionality under Section 39 of Law 24073, Section 4 of Law 25561, Section 5 of Decree No. 214/02 issued by the Argentine Executive, Law 27468 and any other regulation whereby the inflation adjustment mechanism provided for under Law 20628, as amended, is considered not applicable due to the confiscatory effect on the specific case, for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Consequently, the Entity filed its income tax returns for such fiscal years taking into consideration the effect of those restatement mechanisms.

The net impact of this measure is an adjustment to the income tax assessed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 in the amount of 1,185,800; for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, in the amount of 1,021,518, and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, in the amount of 3,239,760.

Through Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017, the BCRA, without resolving on the decisions adopted by the authorities of the Entity or the right of the Entity regarding the action filed, in its capacity as issuer of accounting standards, requested the Entity to record a provision for contingencies included in “Liabilities” in an amount equivalent to the income recorded, as it considers that “a reassessment of the income tax by applying the inflation adjustment is not addressed by the BCRA regulations”.

In response to this Memorandum, the Entity filed the related answer and confirmed its position by providing the relevant supporting documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Entity recorded the requested provision in the “Provisions” account under liabilities and in “Other operating expenses” in the statement of income, pursuant to the accounting standards prescribed by the regulator for this case.

As a result of the assessment made and based on the opinion of its legal and tax advisors, the Entity considers that it is highly likely for the Entity to obtain a final favorable judgment supporting the idea that this period’s income tax shall be assessed including the tax inflation adjustment, based on the confiscatory nature of the rate that would result from not applying said adjustment in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

In addition, on June 8, 2020, the Federal Court on Administrative Matters (JCAF 12-23) ruled upon the action for declaratory judgment filed on May 12, 2017, upholding the complaint and thus declaring that the prohibition to apply the inflation adjustment mechanism for the purposes of the income tax return filed by the Bank for fiscal period 2016 is not applicable to the instant case.

The tax authorities (AFIP) filed an appeal against this judgment before the Appellate Court. Therefore, on September 24, 2020, the Bank submitted the answer to the grounds supporting such appeal.

As stated in Note 2, the recognition of the provision for contingencies required by the BCRA results in a deviation from IFRS.

• Income tax—Requests for recovery of payments. Fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Regarding fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Entity assessed income tax without applying the tax inflation adjustment, consequently a higher tax was paid in the amounts of 264,257, 647,945 and 555,002 for those periods.

Based on the grounds stated above, on November 19, 2015, the request for recovery of the payments made was filed at the administrative stage for periods 2013 and 2014, and the related complaint was filed at the judicial stage on September 23, 2016 for both periods, given that no answer to the request above was received.

In turn, on April 4, 2017, a request for recovery of the payments made for the higher amount of tax paid for fiscal year 2015 was filed. Likewise, on December 29, 2017, the related complaint was filed at the judicial stage for this fiscal year.

As of the date of these financial statements, the tax authorities have not issued a resolution regarding the claims for the years 2013 and 2015.

On October 21, 2020, we were notified that Court of First Instance on Administrative Matters No. 1 rendered judgment upholding the request for recovery of payments made by the Bank for fiscal year 2014. The AFIP filed an appeal against such judgement before the Appellate Court.

Pursuant to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA, the Entity does not recognize any assets in relation to contingent assets derived from the claims filed.

16. Investments in equity instruments

Investments in equity instruments for which the Group has no control, joint control or a significant influence are measured at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income. Breakdown is as follows:

16.1 Investments in equity instruments through profit or loss

	09.30.20		12.31.19
Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. (1)		1,517,165		2,305,462
Private securities—Shares of other non-controlled companies		226,576		175,159
TOTAL		1,743,741		2,480,621

(1) This balance is related to the 2,252,139 shares held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., representing 5.44% of such company’s capital stock. Said investment was measured at fair value estimated by the Management based on the report prepared by independent professionals, net of the valuation adjustment required by the BCRA in Memorandum No. 7/2019 and the collection of dividends. The accounting criterion applied as stated above constitutes a deviation from IFRS.

On February 1, 2019, the transfer of 2,344,064 registered, common shares with a nominal value of $ 1 each and one vote per share, owned by the Bank in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. was made for the benefit of AI Zenith (Netherlands) B.V. (a company related to Advent International Global Private Equity).

In accordance with the provisions of the Offer for the purchase of those shares by AI Zenith (Netherlands) B.V., and accepted by the Bank, the total estimated price adjusted was USD 78,265,273, out of which, on February 1, 2019, the Bank received USD 46,457,210, and the unpaid balance is deferred over the following 5 (five) years and settled as follows; (i) 30% of that amount shall be paid in pesos, adjusted by CER (UVA) at an annual nominal rate of 15% and (ii) 70% in US Dollars at an annual nominal rate of 10%.

On July 22, 2019, the Entity completed the assessment of the selling price of the shares. Such price amounts to USD 76,947,895.33. The gap between the final price and the estimated price was discounted from the outstanding balance; therefore, the Bank did not have to return the funds it had received. The transaction terms included a put option, pursuant to which the Bank is entitled to sell the remaining shares in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. to the buyer as of December 31, 2021 (see Note 9).

The other payment conditions have remained unaltered.

As a consequence of this transaction, a profit of 4,672,744 was recognized in “Other operating income” as of September 30, 2019 (Note 38).

The project provides for the participation of other financial institutions as holders of equity interests in the company’s capital stock; therefore, the equity interests of the founder financial institutions will be significantly reduced.

The company’s purpose is to engage, directly and/or through third parties, or in association with third parties, in the following activities in Argentina or abroad:

On July 15, 2020, the Bank received a proposal from the above referred company to make an irrevocable contribution on account of future share subscriptions in the amount of 13,750, which was accepted and subsequently transferred on July 20, 2020.

Therefore, the Bank’s equity interest in Play Digital S.A. was reduced from 33 to 25%.

On August 26, 2020, Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. made a contribution of 27,250, maintaining its interest.

As of September 30, 2020, the interest held in Play Digital S.A. is recognized in Investments in associates in an amount of 43,500. On October 15. 2020, a new Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting was held (See Note 58).

It includes the estimated amounts to pay highly likely liabilities which, in case of occurrence, would generate a loss for the Entity.

The breakdown and changes of provisions recognized for accounting purposes are included in Exhibit J. However, below is a brief description:

• Re-assessment of income tax due to the application of the inflation adjustment: it reflects the provision required by the BCRA through Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017, as it was considered that the reassessment of the income tax by applying the inflation adjustment is not addressed by the current regulations. The Bank answered the BCRA memorandum and evidenced the validity of the recognition timely made and requested that it be reviewed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision requested by the BCRA was set up.

• Provisions for reorganization: Consistent with the goal of further aligning the organizational structure with the corporate strategy during the current year, achieving efficiency gains and streamlining the decision-making process across all work teams.

• Contingent commitments: it reflects the credit risk arising from the assessment of the degree of compliance of the beneficiaries of unused overdrafts, unused credit card balances, guarantees, sureties and other contingent commitments for the benefit of third parties on behalf of customers, and of their financial position and the counter guarantees supporting those transactions.

• Termination benefit plans: for certain terminated employees, the Bank bears the cost of private health care plans (total or partial) for a certain period after termination. The Bank does not cover any situations requiring medical assistance, but it only makes the related health care plan payments.

• Administrative, disciplinary and criminal penalties: administrative penalties imposed by the Financial Information Unit, even if there were court or administrative measures to suspend payment and regardless of the status of the disciplinary proceedings.

• Other: it reflects the estimated amounts to pay tax, labor-related and commercial claims and miscellaneous complaints.

In the opinion of the Group’s Board of Directors and its legal advisors, there are no significant effects other than those stated in these financial statements, the amounts and repayment terms of which have been recorded based on the actual value of those estimates, considering the probable date of their final resolution.

In turn, as of September 30, 2020, approximately 100 contingent claims, including civil and commercial tax claims, which might potentially result in a loss, were brought against the Bank. All such claims have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These actions are primarily related to leasing claims and petitions to secure evidence. The Group’s management and legal advisors consider that these cases might, but are not likely to, result in cash outflows, and that the potential cash disbursements are not material.

The fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The most objective and usual reference of the fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be paid in an orderly, transparent and deep market, that is to say its quoted or market price.

If it is not possible to obtain a market price, a fair value is determined using best market practice quoting techniques, such as cash flows discount based on a yields curve for the same class and type of instrument, or if there is no market curve with the same characteristics of the bond, the technical value is calculated considering the latest market price plus interest accrued until the valuation date (whichever is more representative for the species).

In line with the accounting standard, a three-level classification of financial instruments is established. This classification is mainly made based on the observability of the necessary inputs to calculate that fair value, defining the following levels:

• Level 1: Financial instruments valued with quoted prices in an active market. Active market means a market that allows the observation of representative prices with sufficient frequency and daily volume

• Level 2: Financial instruments that do not have an active market, but that may be valued through market observable data.

• Level 3: Valuation using models where variables not obtained from observable market information are used.

Financial assets at fair value mainly consist of BCRA Liquidity Bills and Argentine Treasury Bills (Letes), together with a minor share in Argentine Government Bonds and Corporate Bonds. Likewise, financial derivatives are classified at fair value, which includes foreign currency forward transactions and NDF (non-delivery forwards), put options and interest rate swaps.

b) Transfers between hierarchy levels

b.1) Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2

No transfers have occurred from Level 1 to Level 2 as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

b.2) Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1

No transfers have occurred from Level 2 to Level 1 as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

b.3) Valuation techniques for Levels 2 and 3

- 39 -

The valuation techniques used for Level 2 securities require market observable input data: the last quoted market price (Mercado Abierto Electrónico—MAE), the terms of the bond issue as detailed in the respective offering memorandum or, in the particular case of bonds adjustable for the BADLAR rate published at the BCRA’s web site, the spot discount curve in pesos, US dollars, CER, the yield curve in pesos arising from ROFEX futures, the yield curve in pesos arising from futures traded by ICAP Broker, and the spot selling exchange rate published by Banco de la Nación Argentina (BNA). Below is a detail of the valuation techniques for each financial product:

Fixed Income

The determination of fair value prices set forth by the Bank for fixed income consists of considering reference market prices (MAE).

For Argentine Treasury Bonds and bills, prices are captured from MAE. If bonds have not traded for the last 10 business days, a theoretical valuation is made, discounting cash flows using the pertinent discount curve, except for cash-reserve bonds, fixed-rate Argentine Treasury Bonds in pesos maturing on November 21, 2020 (TN20) and fixed-rate Argentine Treasury Bonds in pesos maturing in May 2022 (TY22), which are carried at their technical value. In the specific case of GDP-linked securities denominated in pesos (TVPP), the BYMA’s market traded price was considered, as they were not traded in the principal market (MAE) and due to the features of the cash flows of this kind of bonds, it was decided to consider their BYMA market traded price (given their significant volume) instead of an estimated theoretical price.

Liquidity bills issued by the BCRA without quoted prices in MAE on the last day of the month were assigned a theoretical value, discounting cash flows using the monetary policy rate.

Finally, corporate bonds were measured at their market prices prevailing on the last 10 business days in MAE, where available. In the absence of market prices, these securities were assigned a theoretical value, based on the last market price available, plus accrued interest. If they were not traded from their issue date, they are measured at their technical value.

SWAPS

For swaps, the theoretical valuation consists of discounting future cash flows using the interest rate, according to the estimated curve based on fixed-rate bonds in pesos and bills issued by the Argentine Government.

Non Delivery Forwards

The theoretical valuation of NDFs consists of discounting the future cash flows to be exchanged pursuant to the contract, using a discount curve that will depend on the currency of each cash flow. The result is then calculated by subtracting the present values in pesos, estimating the value in pesos based on the applicable spot exchange rate, depending on whether the contract is local or offshore.

For local peso-dollar swap contracts, cash flows in pesos are discounted using the yield curve in pesos resulting from the prices of ROFEX futures and the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA. Cash flows in US dollars are discounted using the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) international dollar yield curve. Then, the present value of cash flows in dollars is netted by converting such cash flows into pesos using the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA.

For local peso-euro swap contracts, cash flows in pesos are discounted using the yield curve in pesos resulting from the prices of ROFEX futures and the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA. Cash flows in euros are discounted using the yield curve in euros. Then, the present value of cash flows in euros is netted by converting such cash flows into pesos using the euro spot selling exchange rate published by BNA.

For offshore peso-dollar swap contracts, cash flows in pesos are discounted using the yield curve in pesos resulting from market quoted forward prices sourced from ICAP and the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA. Cash flows in dollars are discounted using the OIS yield curve. Then, the present value of cash flows in dollars is netted by converting such cash flows into pesos using the Emerging Markets Traders Association (EMTA) US dollar spot exchange rate.

Investments in Equity Instruments

The fair value of the equity interest held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.—classified as Level 3—was calculated on the basis of independent appraisers’ valuations, who relied on a future discounted cash flow method embracing an income approach, net of the valuation adjustment required by the BCRA under Memorandum No. 7/2019, and net of cashed dividends (Note 16).

The most relevant non-observable inputs include:

• Pro forma EBITDA and Free cash flow (primarily determined on the basis of the expected changes in the level of transactions and fees);

• Minority discount rate (equivalent to 1 / (1 + control premium) -1);

• WACC - Weighted Average Cost of Capital of Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.; and

• g = terminal value growth factor.

Below is a detail of the sensitivity analysis related to the valuation of the remaining 49% interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. held by the shareholders. Sensitivity is related to the following two variables: WACC and “g” level (growth factor for future cash flows after 2023 which determines the terminal value):

Value of 49% equity interest + minority discount (9.09%) – in millions of US$
			(g – annual)
				2.50	%	3.00	%	3.50	%
WACC	97.5	%		467.8		480.0		493.3
	100	%		461.8		473.8		486.8
	102.5	%		455.9		467.7		480.5

The valuation scenario considers a WACC equals to 100% and a “g” level of 3%.

Premiums from Put Options

The Group has classified the put option taken in respect of its equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. as Level 3, since the fair value of such put option was based on significant non-observable inputs. The income (loss) from the asset measured at fair value on the basis of non-observable input data is booked under Net income / (loss) from financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss.

These instruments were measured using a valuation technique based on the binomial option pricing model. This model involves creating a comparable portfolio under the same conditions as the put, considering several scenarios. The pricing model factors in the Company’s projected cash flows and financial indebtedness as of year-end (34 months subsequent to the contract closing date). Expected cash flows are discounted using the WACC discount rate.

Some of the most relevant observable input data used in the pricing model include:

• Monthly volatility (sensibility to volatility ranging from 10%, 12.2%, 15% and 20%)

• Notional exercise price. This price is 7 time the expected EBITDA for the third year. EBITDA is calculated considering expected cash flows and financial indebtedness, based on Cash and Banks and Short-term investments, and financial indebtedness projected as of the option exercise date.

Any potential substantial change in any of the aforementioned non-observable input data may increase or decrease the put option estimated fair value.

The table below shows the sensitivity analysis for the valuation of the put option per share, based on the implicit volatility level and the notional exercise price of the share:

- 41 -

Sensitivity – in US$
			Volatility
				10.0	%	12.2	%	15.0	%	20.0	%
EBITDA	95	%		0.84		0.98		1.16		1.45
	100	%		0.95		1.10		1.29		1.59
	105	%		1.08		1.23		1.42		1.73
Sensitivity – in pesos
			Volatility
				10.0	%	12.2	%	15.0	%	20.0	%
EBITDA	95	%		48.15		56.30		66.51		83.47
	100	%		54.88		63.43		74.04		91.58
	105	%		62.43		70.55		81.58		99.70

The valuation scenario considers EBITDA at 100% and volatility at 12.2%, with a fair value equal to 685,000 based on the position held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.

b.4) Reconciliation of opening and ending balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities at fair value

The following table shows a reconciliation between opening balances and final balances of Level 3 fair values:

Monetary gain (loss) generated by assets at fair value		(572,880	)		—
Balance at fiscal period-end		2,202,165			3,143,140

c) Fair value of Assets and Liabilities not measured at fair value

Below is a description of methodologies and assumptions used to assess the fair value of the main financial instruments not measured at fair value, when the instrument does not have a quoted price in a known market.

• Assets and liabilities with fair value similar to their accounting balance

For financial assets and financial liabilities maturing in less than one year, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to fair value. This assumption also applies to deposits, because a significant portion thereof (more than 99% considering contractual terms and conditions) have a residual maturity of less than one year.

• Fixed rate financial instruments

The fair value of financial assets was assessed by discounting future cash flows from market rates at each measurement date for financial instruments with similar characteristics, adding a liquidity premium (unobservable input) that reflects the added value or additional cost required to dispose of the asset.

• Variable rate financial instruments

For financial assets and financial liabilities accruing a variable rate, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to the fair value.

Furthermore, pursuant to the requirements of General Resolution No. 622 issued by the CNV, the Shareholders’ Meeting considering the financial statements with accumulated gains shall specifically provide for the allocation thereof.

Specifically, the mechanism to be followed by financial institutions to assess distributable balances is defined by the BCRA through the regulations in force on the “Distribution of earnings”, provided that there are no records of financial assistance from that entity due to illiquidity or shortfalls as regards minimum capital requirements or minimum cash requirements, and other sort of penalties imposed by specific regulators, which are deemed to be material, and/or where no corrective measures had been implemented, among other conditions.

It is worth noting that, on September 20, 2017, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6327, which provides that financial institutions shall not distribute earnings generated by first application of FRS, and shall create a special reserve which may only be reversed for capitalization or to absorb potential losses of the item “Unappropriated retained earnings”.

In addition, the Group shall maintain a minimum capital after the proposed distribution of earnings.

On August 30, 2019 and January 31, 2020, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6768 and Communication “A” 6886 setting forth that, effective since August 30, 2019, financial institutions shall be required to have the BCRA’s previous authorization to distribute profits.

Finally, by means of Communication “A” 6939 released on March 19, 2020, the BCRA suspended the distribution of profits by financial institutions until June 30, 2020. Such suspension was subsequently extended until December 31, 2020 by means of Communication “A” 7035 dated June 4, 2020.

The Deposits Guarantee Insurance System, which is limited, mandatory and for valuable consideration, has been created for the purpose of covering bank deposit risks in addition to the deposits privileges and protection system set forth by the Financial Institutions Law.

The guarantee covers the refund of the principal paid plus interest accrued up to the date of revocation of the authorization to operate or until the date of suspension of the entity by application of Section 49 of the Articles of Organization of the BCRA, if this measure had been adopted previously, without exceeding the amount of four hundred and fifty thousand pesos. For transactions in the name of two or more people, the guarantee shall be distributed on a pro-rata basis among them. In no case shall the total guarantee per person exceed the aforementioned amount, regardless of the number of accounts and/or deposits.

In addition, it is set forth that financial institutions shall make a monthly contribution to the DGF an amount equivalent to 0.015% of the monthly average of daily balances of the items listed in the related regulations.

As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the contributions to the Fund have been recorded in item “Other operating expenses—Contributions to the deposits guarantee fund” in the amounts of 459,987 and 576,348, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the President and Directors of

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A.

Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111

City of Buenos Aires

Taxpayer identification number (CUIT) 30 -50000319 -3

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (the “Entity”) and its subsidiaries, which include the consolidated condensed statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020, the consolidated condensed statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, Exhibits and selected explanatory notes.

Board of Directors’ and Management responsibility for the financial statements

The Board of Directors and Management of the Entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards established by the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and, particularly, for interim financial statements, on International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), with the exceptions described in Note 2. The Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to error or irregularities.

Auditors’ responsibility and scope of the review

Our responsibility is to issue a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards set forth by Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE and the “Minimum Standards applicable to External Audits” set forth by the BCRA for the review of interim financial statements. In accordance with such standards, a review is limited primarily to the performance of analytical and other review procedures applied to financial data included in the interim financial statements and inquiries of personnel responsible for the preparation thereof. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards in force, and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Opinion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to conclude that the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the accounting standards established by the BCRA, described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw users’ attention to the information disclosed in the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements:

a) As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, such financial statements were prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA. Such financial reporting framework differs from the IFRS in the following aspects:

i. As explained in note 2.a), in accordance with Communication “A” 6847 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has applied the expected losses model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9, excluding from its scope debt instruments of the nonfinancial public sector, Had the impairment model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 been applied, the Entity would have recorded a decrease in equity of $ 3,001,377 thousand and $ 4,415,774 thousand as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, Furthermore, in accordance with Communication “A” 6938, the BCRA postponed the application of the impairment model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 until the fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” entities (entities consolidated by the Entity), maintaining for them the impairment model set forth by the BCRA by means of Communication “A” 2950, as amended, which requires the recognition of allowances for loan losses according to minimum requirements set forth by the BCRA,

ii. As explained in Notes 2.b) and 16, by virtue of the partial sale of the ownership interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining ownership interest were recorded in “Investments in equity instruments” and stated at its fair value with changes recognized through profit or loss, based on a valuation report of the Company prepared by an external professional. In addition, the valuation adjustment established by Memorandum No. 7/1019, issued on April 29, 2019 by BCRA, was deducted from such remaining ownership interest, The accounting criterion applied implies a departure from the provisions of IFRS 9 about the measurement of equity instruments at fair value,

iii. As explained in Note 2.c), the financial statements have been prepared taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions, and

iv. As explained in Note 2.d), by means of Communication “A” 7014, the BCRA established that debt securities issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured at the carrying value of the instruments delivered in replacement. This treatment implies a deviation from the IFRS. Had the IFRS been applied, the effect would not have been significant.

b) As indicated in note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and by virtue of BCRA Communications “A” 6778 and 6651, as from January 1, 2020, the Entity has adopted the changes in its accounting policies derived from the implementation of IFRS 9 in order to recognize impairment of its financial assets, excluding debt instruments of the nonfinancial public sector, and IAS 29 for the purposes of presenting the financial statements stated in the reporting currency at period-end. Such changes are applied retroactively from January 1, 2019 as provided for by the regulatory authorities, which implies changes to the financial statements filed as of December 31, 2018, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, for comparative purposes, as disclosed in such note.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In compliance with legal provisions in force, we report that:

a) The accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements are pending transcription into the Financial Statements for Publication Book and arise from the Company’s accounting records, which are also pending transcription into the Journal, considering the situation described in Note 57 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements,

b) As of September 30, 2020, as disclosed in Note 52 to the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Entity’s equity and its eligible assets exceed the minimum amounts required by the regulations of the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (CNV),

c) We read the reporting summary (sections “Statement of financial position items”, “Statement of profit or loss items”, “Statement of cash flow items”, “Statistical data” and “Ratios”), and the additional information required by section 12 of Chapter III, Title IV of CNV regulations (compiled text), based on which, as far as it relates to our area of responsibility, we have no observations; and

d) As of September 30, 2020, the accrued liability for retirement and pension contributions payable to the Argentine Pension Fund System arising from the Entity’s accounting records amounts to $265,736,462, no amounts being due as of that date.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

(Stated in thousands of pesos)

1. Basis for the preparation of the separate financial statements

As mentioned in Note 2 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (the “Bank”) presents consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA).

These financial statements of the Bank are supplementary to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements mentioned above, and are intended for the purposes of complying with legal and regulatory requirements.

2. Criteria for the preparation of the financial statements

These condensed interim financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the nine-month period ended on that date were prepared in accordance with the regulations issued by the BCRA which provide that financial institutions under its supervision shall be required to present financial statements prepared pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the following exceptions (“financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA”):

a) Impairment of financial assets

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6847 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has applied the expected loss model set forth under paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9, except for debt instruments issued by the non-financial public sector which were temporarily excluded from the scope of such standard. If the Entity had applied the impairment model established in paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9, its shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 would have been reduced by 3,001,377 and 4,415,774, respectively, net of the deferred tax effect.

In addition, on March 19, 2020, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6938 deferring the application of the impairment model set forth in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9 until fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” entities (the Entity’s subsidiaries), which would remain subject to the impairment model established by the BCRA through Communication “A” 2950, as amended. Such model requires that financial institutions recognize an allowance for loan losses based on the minimum guidelines set forth by the BCRA.

b) Measurement of the remaining investment held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.

By means of Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019, the BCRA established the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. recorded under “Investments in Equity Instruments” as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (see Note 16 to the consolidated interim financial statements).

c) Uncertain tax positions

The BCRA issued Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be given to uncertain tax positions. Had the IFRS treatment regarding uncertain tax positions been applied, liabilities would have decreased by 5,447,078 and 6,661,166 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

d) Registration of exchanged debt securities of the government sector

By means of Communication “A” 7014, the BCRA mandated that debt securities issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured at the carrying value of the instruments delivered in replacement on such date (See Note 6.2 to the consolidated interim financial statements). According to the IFRS, these instruments should be accounted for at fair value recognizing in profit or loss the difference with the carrying value of the instruments delivered. Had the IFRS been applied, the effect would not have been significant.

- 75 -

As stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the above mentioned circumstances result in a departure from the IFRS which has a significant impact and may distort the information provided in these separate financial statements.

Since the current reporting period is an interim period, the Bank has opted for presenting condensed information, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in IAS 34 “Interim financial information”. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements prepared under IFRS. Therefore, these financial statements should be read jointly with the financial statements as of December 31, 2019. However, these financial statements contain notes describing the events and transactions deemed material to understand the changes in the Entity’s financial position subsequent to December 31, 2019.

Likewise, these separate financial statements contain the additional information and exhibits required by the BCRA through Communication “A” 6324.

To avoid duplication of information already provided, we refer to the consolidated financial statements regarding:

• Functional and presentation currency (Note 3 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Accounting judgment and estimates (Note 4 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Significant accounting policies (Note 5 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements), except for the measurement of ownership interests in subsidiaries.

• IFRS issued but not yet effective for Financial Institutions (Note 6 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Provisions (Note 27 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Fair values of financial instruments (Note 43 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Segment reporting (Note 44 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Subsidiaries (Note 45 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Deposits guarantee regime (Note 50 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Compliance with the provisions of the Argentine Securities Commission – minimum shareholders’ equity and liquid assets (Note 52 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Trust activities (Note 54 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Mutual funds (Note 55 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Penalties and administrative proceedings initiated by the BCRA (Note 56 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Accounting records (Note 57 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

• Subsequent events (Note 58 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements)

3. Significant accounting policies

Except as described in Note 5 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Bank has consistently applied the accounting policies described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, in all the periods presented in these financial statements.

- 76 -

Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all the entities controlled by the Bank. The Bank owns a controlling interest in an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights over, the variable returns from its interest in the company, and has the power to affect the changes in such yields. The Bank reevaluates if its control is maintained when there are changes in any of the conditions mentioned.

Interests in Subsidiaries are measured using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the financial statements include the Bank’s share in profit or loss and OCI of investments accounted for using the equity method, until the date when the significant control, influence or joint control cease.

The interim financial statements as of September 30, 2020 of the subsidiaries BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A., and Consolidar Administradora de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (under liquidation proceedings) were adjusted considering the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA in order to present information on an homogeneous basis.

The financial statements of Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A., PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. and Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. were prepared considering the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA for Group “B” financial institutions, which does not consider the model set forth in paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 until the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 as stated in note 2 to these financial statements.

6. Derivatives

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank carried out foreign currency forward transactions with daily or upon-maturity settlement of differences, with no delivery of the underlying asset and interest rate swap transactions. These transactions do not qualify as hedging pursuant to IFRS 9 - “Financial Instruments”.

The aforementioned instruments are measured at fair value and were recognized in the Statement of financial position in the item “Derivative instruments” and changes in fair values were recognized in the Statement of Income in the item “Net income from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss”.

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank has accounted for premiums from put options taken in respect of the Bank’s right to sell its equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. to the buyer as of December 30, 2021. Such equity interest was measured at fair value, as calculated by management in reliance of a report prepared by independent appraisers (Note 43 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements).

- 77 -

As of the same date, the Bank has premiums from call options taken and premiums from call options offered. Both of them were made with BBVA Madrid on September 23, and are due on December 18, 2020. They are valued at their fair value as of September 30, 2020.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE SEPARATE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the President and Directors of

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A.

Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111

City of Buenos Aires

Taxpayer identification number (CUIT) 30 -50000319 -3

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the separate condensed interim financial statements of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (the “Entity”), which include the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020, the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, Exhibits and selected explanatory notes.

Board of Directors’ and Management responsibility for the financial statements

The Board of Directors and Management of the Entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards established by the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and, particularly, for interim financial statements, on International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), with the exceptions described in Note 2. The Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to error or irregularities.

Auditors’ responsibility and scope of the review

Our responsibility is to issue a conclusion on these separate condensed interim financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards set forth by Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE and the “Minimum Standards applicable to External Audits” set forth by the BCRA for the review of interim financial statements. In accordance with such standards, a review is limited primarily to the performance of analytical and other review procedures applied to financial data included in the interim financial statements and inquiries of personnel responsible for the preparation thereof. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards in force, and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the separate condensed interim financial statements.

Opinion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying separate condensed interim financial statements of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the BCRA accounting framework described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw users’ attention to the following information disclosed in the accompanying separate condensed interim financial statements:

a) As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying separate financial statements, such financial statements were prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA. Such financial reporting framework differs from the IFRS in the following aspects:

i. As explained in note 2.a), in accordance with Communication “A” 6847 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has applied the expected losses model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9, excluding from its scope debt instruments of the nonfinancial public sector, Had the impairment model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 been applied, the Entity would have recorded a decrease in equity of $ 3,001,377 thousand and $ 4,415,774 thousand as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, Furthermore, in accordance with Communication “A” 6938, the BCRA postponed the application of the impairment model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 until the fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” entities (Entity’s subsidiaries), maintaining for them the impairment model set forth by the BCRA by means of Communication “A” 2950, as amended, which requires the recognition of allowances for loan losses according to minimum requirements set forth by the BCRA,

ii. As explained in Note 2.b), by virtue of the partial sale of the ownership interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining ownership interest were recorded in “Investments in equity instruments” and stated at its fair value with changes recognized through profit or loss, based on a valuation report of the Company prepared by an external professional. In addition, the valuation adjustment established by Memorandum No. 7/1019, issued on April 29, 2019 by BCRA, was deducted from such remaining ownership interest, The accounting criterion applied implies a departure from the provisions of IFRS 9 about the measurement of equity instruments at fair value,

iii. As explained in Note 2.c), the financial statements have been prepared taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions, and

iv. As explained in Note 2.d), by means of Communication “A” 7014, the BCRA established that debt securities issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured at the carrying value of the instruments delivered in replacement. This treatment implies a deviation from the IFRS. Had the IFRS been applied, the effect would not have been significant.

b) As indicated in note 5 to the accompanying condensed interim financial statements, and by virtue of BCRA Communications “A” 6778 and 6651, as from January 1, 2020, the Entity has adopted the changes in its accounting policies derived from the implementation of IFRS 9 in order to recognize impairment of its financial assets, excluding debt instruments of the nonfinancial public sector, and IAS 29 for the purposes of presenting the financial statements stated in the reporting currency at period-end. Such changes are applied retroactively from January 1, 2019 as provided for by the regulatory authorities, which implies changes to the financial statements filed as of December 31, 2018, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, for comparative purposes, as disclosed in such note.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In compliance with legal provisions in force, we report that:

a) The accompanying separate condensed interim financial statements are pending transcription into the Financial Statements for Publication Book and arise from the Company’s accounting records, which are also pending transcription into the Journal, considering the situation described in Note 2 to the condensed interim financial statements,

b) As of September 30, 2020, as disclosed in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, the Entity’s equity and its eligible assets exceed the minimum amounts required by the regulations of the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (CNV), and

c) As of September 30, 2020, the accrued liability for retirement and pension contributions payable to the Argentine Pension Fund System arising from the Entity’s accounting records amounts to $261.154.249, no amounts being due as of that date.

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A.

Registered Office: Av. Córdoba 111

City of Buenos Aires

1. Identification of the interim financial statements subject to review

In our capacity as members of the Supervisory Committee of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (hereinafter, either “BBVA” or the “Entity”) designated at the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 15, 2020, and in compliance with the terms of Section 294 of the Argentine Companies Law No. 19550, we have reviewed the consolidated condensed interim financial statements and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2020, which include the consolidated condensed statement of financial position, the consolidated condensed statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and their respective supplementary notes and exhibits, as well as the separate condensed financial statements of BBVA as of September 30, 2020, which include the separate condensed statement of financial position, the statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of such date, and its related notes and exhibits.

The Entity is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the above-mentioned financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to financial institutions established by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA), as well as for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control as the Entity might deem appropriate to prepare its financial statements free from material misstatements.

2. Scope of our Review

In discharging our duties, we have examined the work performed by the Entity’s external auditors KPMG, who, on November 24, 2020, issued their limited review report on the interim financial statements as of September 30, 2020, including an unqualified opinion.

The review of interim financial statements conducted by such auditors is substantially lesser in scope than an audit and, therefore, is not sufficient to become aware of all substantial issues that might arise during an audit. Therefore, the auditors do not render such an opinion on the financial statements referred to in section I.

Since the Supervisory Committee is not responsible for management control, the review did not encompass the corporate criteria and decisions of the Entity’s several areas, for such issues are the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors.

3. Supervisory Committee’s Opinion

Based on our review, we have no observations to raise, except as stated in paragraph 4, on the accompanying interim financial statements of BBVA for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 referred to in the first paragraph of Section 1 of this report. Furthermore, such financial statements reflect all substantial facts and circumstances that are known to us.

4. Emphasis Matter

As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated and separate financial statements, such financial statements were prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA. Such financial reporting framework differs from the IFRS in the following aspects:

i. as explained in note 2.a) to the consolidated and separate financial statements, in accordance with Communication “A” 6847 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has applied the expected losses model set forth in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9, excluding from its scope non-financial government sector debt instruments. Had the impairment model set forth in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9 been applied, the Entity would have recorded a decrease in equity of $ 3,001,377 thousand and $ 4,415,774 thousand as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Furthermore, in accordance with Communication “A” 6938, the BCRA postponed the application of the impairment model set forth in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9 until the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” institutions (institutions consolidated by the Entity), maintaining for them the impairment model set forth by the BCRA by means of Communication “A” 2950, as amended, which requires the recognition of allowances for loan losses according to minimum requirements set forth by the BCRA.

ii. as explained in notes 2.b) to the consolidated and separate financial statements and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, in connection with the partial disposal of the equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining portion was booked under “Investments in Equity Instruments,” and measured at fair value through profit or loss, based on a valuation report on such company prepared by an external appraiser, net of the valuation adjustment established by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019. The accounting criterion applied constitutes a deviation from IFRS 9 as concerns the measurement of equity instrument at fair value, and

iii. as explained in note 2.c) to the consolidated and separate financial statements, they have been prepared considering the rules set forth in Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 in connection with the treatment to be given to uncertain tax positions;

iv. as explained in note 2.d), by means of Communication “A” 7014, the BCRA mandated that debt securities issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured at the carrying value of the instruments delivered in replacement on such date. Such treatment represents a deviation from the application of IFRS. Had the IFRS been applied, the effect would not have been significant.

As explained in note 5 to the consolidated and separate financial statements, and pursuant to the provisions of Communications “A” 6778 and 6651 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has adopted effective January 1, 2020, the changes in the accounting policies arising from the implementation of IFRS 9 as regards the recognition of the impairment of financial assets, excluding non-financial government sector debt instruments and IAS 29 as concerns the presentation of financial statements expressed in the measuring unit current at the reporting period end. Such changes are applied retrospectively as of January 1, 2019 as set forth by the BCRA, implying changes to the financial statements as of December 31, 2018, June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, presented for comparative purposes, which are described in such note.

5. Information Required by Applicable Provisions

We hereby report that in compliance with the regulations in force, the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements are pending transcription into the Financial Statements for Reporting Purposes book, and arise from the accounting records also pending transcription into the Daily Ledger, considering the situation described in Note 57 to the referred consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

As of September 30, 2020, as it arises from note 52 to the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Entity’s shareholders’ equity and minimum cash contra-account in eligible assets exceed the respective minimum required by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV).

We further represent that, during the reporting period, we have carried out all duties, to the extent applicable, set forth in Section 294 of Argentine Companies Law No. 19550, including attending to Board of Directors’ meetings.

We further represent that any member of this Supervisory Committee is individually authorized to sign, on behalf of such committee, all documents referred to in the first paragraph herein and all copies of this report.

REPORTING SUMMARY FOR

THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

(Consolidated, stated in thousands of pesos)

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 are prepared pursuant to the financial reporting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) pursuant to which entities under its supervision are required to submit financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the following exceptions (“financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA”):

a) Impairment of financial assets

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6847 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has applied the expected loss model set forth under paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9, except for debt instruments issued by the non-financial public sector which were temporarily excluded from the scope of such standard.

In addition, on March 19, 2020, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6938 deferring the application of the impairment model set forth in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9 until fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 for Group “B” institutions (institutions consolidated by the Bank), which would remain subject to the impairment model established by the BCRA through Communication “A” 2950, as amended. Such model requires that financial institutions recognize an allowance for loan losses based on the minimum guidelines set forth by the BCRA.

b) Measurement of the remaining investment held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.

By means of Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019, the BCRA established the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. recognized under “Investments in Equity Instruments” as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (see Note 16).

c) Uncertain tax positions

The BCRA issued Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be given to uncertain tax positions.

d) Registration of exchanged debt securities issued by the government sector

By means of Communication “A” 7014, the BCRA mandated that debt securities issued by the government sector received in exchange for other instruments should be measured at the carrying value of the instruments delivered in replacement on such date (Note 6.2).

As a consequence of the application of those standards, the Bank prepares its financial statements according to the new financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Information not Covered by the Review Report.

That network includes 247 branches providing services for the retail segment and also to small and medium enterprises and organizations.

- 110 -

Corporate Banking is divided by industry sector: Consumers, Heavy Industries and Energy, providing customized services for large companies. To supplement the distribution network, the Entity has 883 ATMs, 860 self-service terminals, 15 in-company banks, two points of Customer service booths.

Moreover, it has a telephone banking service, a modern, safe and functional Internet banking platform, and a mobile banking app. As for its payroll, Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. has 6,065 employees, including 97 employees of BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A., PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. and Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. (total effective employees, net of temporary replacements).

The loans portfolio net of allowances for loan losses totaled 250,919,952 pesos as of September 30, 2020, reflecting a decrease of 10.73% in the last twelve months.

As it relates to consumer loans, including personal loans, credit cards, mortgage loans and pledge loans, credit cards have experienced the most remarkable increase, by 25.69% compared with the previous year. BBVA Argentina S.A.’s consolidated market share in private-sector financing was 8.25% at period-end, based on the BCRA’s daily information (capital balance as of the last day of each quarter on a consolidated basis).

In terms of portfolio quality, the Entity has managed to maintain very good ratios. The irregular portfolio ratio (Financings with irregular performance/total financing) was 1.16%, with a coverage level (total allowances/irregular performance) of 355.26% as of September 30, 2020.

The total exposure for securities totaled 130,851,330 pesos as of September 30, 2020, including repos.

In terms of liabilities, customers’ resources totaled 399,606,699, with a 6.54% increase over the last twelve months.

The consolidated market share of deposits to the private sector of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. reached 6.48% at period-end, based on the daily information of the BCRA (principal balance as of the last day of each quarter).

Breakdown of changes in the main income/loss items:

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. recorded an accumulated profit of 9,111,005 as of September 30, 2020, representing a return on average shareholders’ equity of 9,09%, a return on average assets of 1.55%, and a return on average liabilities of 1.87%.

Net accumulated interest income totaled 52,394,184, with a 12.78% reduction as compared to September 2019, mainly driven by a decrease in interest from government securities and interest from credit card loans, offset by a decrease in interest expenses for time deposits.

Net accumulated commission income totaled 8,479,144, increasing 7.00% compared to September 2019. This decrease is mainly due to lower income due to a smaller volume of transactions, commissions linked to liabilities (deposits), credit cards and foreign trade and currency transactions, offset by lower commission expenses for credit and debit cards.

Accumulated administrative expenses and personnel benefits totaled 26,445,300, a 3.71% drop in relation to those recorded for September 2019. The increase in personnel expenses is mainly a consequence of salary increases agreed with the union. The remaining expenses grow due to general increase in prices, currency depreciation and increase in utility rates.

Outlook

The persistence of the Pandemic during the third quarter of the year has had an impact on the continued uncertainty regarding the economic situation in Argentina, although it has also continued to underpin the trends seen since the beginning of the lockdown regarding the use of banking services by customers.

“Digital transformation” is no longer a two-word phrase that reflects a path to be followed, it is a reality that is being consolidated day by day. Eventually, we will leave the Pandemic behind, and the uncertainties about the economy will be reduced; but all these months will have served as an accelerated consolidation of digitalization in banking services.

Information not covered by the Review Report.

BBVA Argentina has made available to its customers, through its traditional and digital channels, not only its wide range of products but also all the alternatives that have emerged in the light of the health emergency regulations implemented by the Argentine Government.

In this line, the digitalization of our service offer has evolved in such a way that by the end of September 2020, the penetration of our digital customers reached 71% from 65% the previous year, while the penetration of mobile customers reached 59% from 50% a year ago.

BBVA Argentina also maintains a very solid balance sheet, both in terms of the performance of its credit portfolio (NPL ratio of 1.16%), and in terms of liquidity and capital, which at the end of September stood at 66% (liquidity ratio) and 23.3% (regulatory capital ratio), respectively, placing the Bank in a strong position to face a potential economic recovery scenario in the coming months.

Meanwhile, the Bank is actively monitoring the impact of the pandemic on its business, financial condition and operating results, with the aim of anticipating measures that will optimize the value for its shareholders while maintaining the robustness that the Bank has been able to develop, as long as a volatile environment such as that seen in 2020 persists.

In terms of responsible banking, as part of its commitment to the country, BBVA Argentina keeps working on its sustainability model, and supporting responsible business actions to address issues such as inclusion, financial literacy, and environmental protection.
