As of January 1, 2020, the Bank started to inform its inflation adjusted results pursuant to IAS 29 reporting. To facilitate comparison, figures of comparable quarters of 2021 and 2022 have been updated according to IAS 29 reporting to reflect the accumulated effect of inflation adjustment for each period up to June 30, 2022.
2Q22 Highlights

Message from the CFO
“In a less favourable global context, facing the difficulties of correcting macroeconomic distortions and meeting the established objectives in the loan agreement reached in March 2022 with the International Monetary Fund, market volatility has significantly increased, especially in the FX markets and local currency debt markets. A high uncertainty persists about the future development of economic policy. According to BBVA Research, inflation, which reached 46.2% accumulated as of July 2022, will probably be higher in the future, and GDP will grow around 2.5% in 2022 (below previous estimates of 3.5%).
Regarding 2Q22, inflation rate reached 17.3%, versus 16.1% in 1Q22. During 2Q22, private loans in pesos of the system grew 19%, while that of BBVA Argentina increased 23%1, achieving a positive real growth and, in total currency, growing 46 bps its consolidated market share.
Concerning BBVA Argentina’s quarterly performance, outstanding behavior in net interest income and fee income definitely contributed to an improvement of 10.2% in operating income.
As of June 2022, BBVA Argentina reached an NPL ratio of 1.08%, very well below the last available system NPL (May 2022) of 3.4%. Concerning liquidity and solvency indicators, the Bank ends the quarter with 76.7% and 22.9% respectively, levels which undoubtedly allow to address business growth in the case of an economic recovery.
As of the date of this report, BBVA Argentina has distributed dividends by $8.8 billion (instalments 1 to 8) according to the established schedule published on June 16, 2022.
With respect to digitalization, our service offering has evolved in such way that by the end of June 2022, digital client penetration reached 62% keeping stable versus a year back, while that of mobile clients reached 54% from 52% in the same period. The response on the side of customers has been satisfactory, and we are convinced this is the path to pursue, in the aim of sustaining and expanding our competitive position in the financial system. In the quarter, new client acquisition through digital channels over traditional ones was 66%, while in 2Q21 it was 70%.
BBVA Argentina has a corporate responsibility with society, inherent to the Bank’s business model, which bolsters inclusion, financial education and supports scientific research and culture. The Bank works with the highest integrity, long-term vision and best practices, and is present through the BBVA Group in the main sustainability indexes.
Lastly, the Bank actively monitors its business, financial conditions and operating results, in the aim of keeping a competitive position to face contextual challenges.”

BBVA Argentina 2Q22 net income was $15.8 billion, increasing 235.8% or $11.2 billion quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and 34.2% or $4.0 million year-over-year (YoY). This implied a quarterly ROAE of 28.3% and a quarterly ROAA of 4.6%.
Quarterly operating results are mainly explained by (i) greater interest income and (ii) a better net fee income (iii) lower operating expenses. This allowed net operating income to increase above operating expenses.
These effects were partially offset by a fall in net income from measurement of financial instruments at FV through P&L, which includes the sale of the remaining participation of the Bank in Prisma in 1Q22.
Net income for the period was improved by a benefit in the income tax line, as a result of the implications of tax deferrals.

Net interest income for 2Q22 was $54.3 billion, increasing 18.0% or $8.9 billion QoQ, and 36.3% or $14.5 billion YoY. In 2Q22, interest income, in monetary terms, increased more than interest expense, mainly due to (i) higher income from government securities, (ii) increases in income from CER/UVA clause adjustments and (iii) an increase in income from interests from overdrafts and oher loans. Items (i) and (ii) take place in a context of increasing interest rates, derived from sequential increases in the monetary policy rate by the BCRA2, as well as an increase in the inflation rate3, and justified by a change in regulation issued at the beginning of 2022 (Com. “A” 7432) which allowed financial institutions to increase their BCRA liquidity bills (LELIQ) position.
In 2Q22, interest income totaled $99.6 billion, increasing 23.0% compared to 1Q22 and 39.1% compared to 2Q21. Quarterly increase is mainly driven by (i) higher income from government securities, both from an increase in the nominal rate and the volume in the position of LELIQ; and (ii) an increase in CER/UVA clause adjustments, especially from government securities linked to such indexes, which position has increased during the quarter. Income from overdrafts and other loans also stand out, mainly because of the adjustment of increasing rates and an increase in activity. All this was offset by lower income on premiums on reverse REPO transactions (seven-day REPOs), considering such instruments were gradually removed from the market by the Central Bank.
2 For further details on the gradual increase in interest rates refer to the Main Regulatory Changes section.
3 From 16.1% in 1Q22 to 17.3% in 2Q22. Source: Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC).
Income from government securities increased 47.6% compared to 1Q22, and 131.8% compared to 2Q21. This is partially due to the higher position in LELIQ, continuing with the progressive swap from REPOs towards these securities, added to the gradual increase of the monetary policy rate, which was at 44.5% (nominal annual terms) at the beginning of the quarter and ended at 52.0%. 93% of these results are explained by government securities at fair value through OCI, of which 73% are BCRA securities, and 4% are securities at amortized cost (2022 and 2027 National Treasury Bonds at fixed rate, used for reserve requirement integration).
Interest income from loans and other financing totaled $34.9 billion, increasing 9.5% QoQ and 19.5% YoY. Quarterly growth is mainly due to an increase in overdrafts by 20.9% and in other loans by 20.2%, the latter boosted by floorplan loans from consolidated companies.
Income from CER/UVA adjustments increased 81.5% QoQ and 73.4% YoY. Quarterly growth was driven by a higher yield and a greater position in CER-linked securities, taking into consideration that quarterly inflation reached 17.3% versus 16.1% the previous quarter. 73% of income from interests from CER/UVA clause adjustments is explained by interests generated by bonds linked to such indexes.
Interest expenses totaled $45.3 billion, denoting a 29.7% increase QoQ and a 42.7% increase YoY. Quarterly increase is described by higher time deposit and checking account expenses, together with higher CER/UVA adjustment expenses.
Interests from time deposits (including investment accounts) explain 69.3% of interest expenses, versus 73.0% the previous quarter. These increased 23.0% QoQ and 33.7% YoY.
NIM
As of 2Q22, net interest margin (NIM) was 22.1%, above the 19.2% reported in 1Q22. In 2Q22, NIM in pesos was 23.2% and 2.1% in U.S. dollars.

Net fee income as of 2Q22 totaled $10.3 billion, increasing 32.4% or $2.5 billion QoQ and increasing 15.8% or $1.4 billion YoY.
In 2Q22, fee income totaled $14.4 billion, falling 5.3% QoQ and 8.0% YoY. The quarterly fall is mainly explained by a decline in fees linked to liabilities, especially due to the lag in increases in prices of account and packaged accounts’ maintenance, which last increment took place the previous quarter.
Regarding fee expenses, these totaled $4.1 billion, contracting 44.9% QoQ and 39.3% YoY. Lower expenses in the quarter are partially explained by the migration of clients from the Latam benefit program into the Puntos BBVA program (given the former’s partnership end in February 2022), and lower expenditures linked to credit and debit cards.

In 2Q22, net income from financial instruments at fair value (FV) through P&L was $1.3 billion, decreasing 72.0% or $3.5 billion QoQ and 34.6% or $711 million YoY.
These results are mainly explained by an increase in the income from government securities line item, especially due to the greater position and interest rate generated by the LELIQ portfolio, and a greater CER linked National Treasury bond portfolio.
Nonetheless the result falls, explained by the sale procedure of the Bank’s remaining position in Prisma during 1Q22, which had generated a $3.1 billion profit (at current values) in that period.
There is also a decrease in the line gains from foreign currency forward transactions.

Quarterly decrease is partially explained by a 92.5% fall in the Income from sale of assets in equity instruments line item, as a result from the sale procedures of the remaining stock participation of the Bank in Prisma in 1Q22. Additionally, there has been a 15.1% decrease in the rental of safe deposit boxes line item, especially due to a lag in price increases (as they have been last changed during the previous quarter) and a 37.5% increase in adjustments and interest on miscellaneous receivables.

During 2Q22, personnel benefits and administrative expenses totaled $25.0 billion, increasing 14.6% or $3.2 billion compared to 1Q22, and 24.4% or $4.9 billion compared to 2Q21.
Personnel benefits grew 19.5% QoQ, and 21.9% YoY. The quarterly increase is partially explained by the collective wage agreement reached with the unions, and its retroactive effect corresponding to 1Q22 which impacted in April (16.1% as of January 1, 34.1% as of April 1, 51.1% as of July 1, and 60% accumulated as of October 1), with review clauses in October and November 2022. Also, during 2Q22, the stock of vacation not taken was revaluated, and variable compensation increased.
As of 2Q22, administrative expenses increased 9.8% QoQ, and 27.2% YoY. The quarterly increase is partially explained by (i) an increase in outsourced administrative expenses, (ii) an increase in rent and (iii) an increase in software expenses.
The negative effect of the aforementioned items was offset by a reduction in the taxes line item, explained by a fall in municipal charges, maintenance and reparation expenses, and in armored transportation given the efficiency plan applied on the latter.
The accumulated efficiency ratio as of 2Q22 was 71.3%, improving compared to the 72.2% reported in 1Q22, and deteriorating versus the 70.1% reported in 2Q21. The quarterly improvement is explained by a higher percentage increase in the denominator (income considering monetary position results) than the numerator (expenses), especially thanks to better net results from fees and interest income.
Excluding inflation adjustments considered in the income from the monetary position line item, the 2Q22 accumulated efficiency ratio would have been 43.3%, remaining stable compared to the 43.3% of 1Q22 and improving compared to the 48.5% of 2Q21.

In 2Q22, other operating expenses totaled $10.3 billion, increasing 12.7% or $1.2 billion QoQ, and 12.4% or $1.1 billion YoY.
The key factor explaining the quarterly growth is in the other operating expenses line item, with an increase of 93.2%, considering the provision for reorganization recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021, and which was adjusted in 2Q22 according to increases in inflation and associated wage agreements with the unions.
The aforementioned expenses are partially offset by the other allowances line item, decreasing 32.0% related to the increase in use of off-balance sheet items.
Income from Associates
This line reflects the results from non-consolidated associate companies. During 2Q22, profit of $218 million has been reported, mainly due to the Bank’s participation in BBVA Seguros Argentina S.A., Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A., Interbanking S.A. and Play Digital S.A. and Openpay Argentina S.A.
Income Tax
Accumulated income tax during the first six months of 2022 recorded a profit of $5.4 billion.
Regarding 2Q22, income tax expenses show a positive result as a result, affected by the implications of inflation adjustments in the determination of payable taxes and tax deferrals.
Accumulated income tax during the first six months of 2021 recorded a gain of $5.6 billion. As of 2Q21, tax expenses show a positive result of $4.8 billion due to the reversal of the provision connected to the repayment of income tax inflation adjustments for 2017 and 2018 fiscal years, for a total of $4.3 billion (non-adjusted figures), recorded during the first quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2019 respectively. The reversal is a result of an assessment, funded on legal and tax advisors’ opinions, in which the Bank considers that probabilities of getting a final instance favorable court ruling are higher for those fiscal years.
The accumulated benefit in the income tax line as of 2Q21 includes the positive result obtained in 1Q21 due to the reversal of a provision of $1.2 billion (non-adjusted figures) recorded during the second quarter of 2017 corresponding to 2016 fiscal year, which was funded on a favorable final sentence in court.

Private sector loans as of 2Q22 totaled $519.3 billion, increasing 7.1% or $34.6 billion QoQ, and falling 1.0% or $5.3 billion YoY.
Loans to the private sector in pesos increased 4.7% in 2Q22, and 4.8% YoY. During the quarter, growth was especially driven by a 4.2% increase in credit cards (due to greater retail consumption), a 21.2% increase in overdrafts, a 5.9% increase in other loans and a 5.3% increase in discounted instruments. Regarding other loans, these were boosted by commercial loans (“PIV”, especially productive investment lines), and concerning overdrafts, these were mainly promoted by corporate banking transactions. These increases were offset by a 5.4% fall in pledge loans.
Loans to the private sector denominated in foreign currency increased 45.8% QoQ and fell 39.2% YoY. Quarterly increase is mainly explained by a 41.5% increase in prefinancing and financing of exports, followed by a 56.2% increase in other loans and a 43.9% increase in credit cards. All the aforementioned are explained by greater activity in foreign currency. Loans to the private sector in foreign currency measured in U.S. dollars increased 51.5% QoQ and fell 23.7% YoY. The depreciation of the argentine peso versus the U.S. dollar was 11.4% QoQ and 23.5% YoY4.
In 2Q22, total loans and other financing totaled $524.9 billion, increasing 7.1% compared to 1Q22 and slightly falling 0.8% compared to 2Q21.

In real terms, retail loans (mortgage, pledge, consumer and credit cards) have increased 3.4% QoQ and decreased 3.8% YoY in real terms. During the quarter, growth is mainly explained by a 5.3% increase in credit cards, followed by a 1.0% increase in consumer loans, the latter explained by marketing actions through different channels, and lines granted to micro-entrepreneurs . These increases were offset by a 5.4% fall in pledge loans.
Commercial loans (overdrafts, discounted instruments, receivables from financial leases, loans for the prefinancing and financing of exports, and other loans) grew 13.1% QoQ and 3.4% YoY both in real terms. Quarterly increase is explained by a 10.7% growth in other loans, a 41.5% increase in prefinancing and financing of exports, followed by a 21.2% increase in overdrafts.
Loan portfolios were highly impacted by the effect of inflation during the second quarter of 2022, which reached 17.3%. In nominal terms, BBVA Argentina managed to increase the retail, commercial and total loan portfolio by 21.3%, 32.7% and 25.6% respectively during the quarter, well beyond real term growth.

In 2Q22, asset quality ratio or NPL (total non-performing portfolio / total portfolio) was 1.08%, compared to the 1.29% recorded in 1Q22. The decrease is mainly explained by a good loan portfolio behavior, mainly on the commercial side, as well as growth in the total portfolio.
The coverage ratio (allowances / total non-performing portfolio) was 219.39% in 2Q22, remaining stable versus the 219.73% recorded in 1Q22.
Cost of risk (loan loss allowances / average total loans) reached 1.94% as of 2Q22, below 1Q22’s 2.11%. This is mainly explained by a higher growth in the average loan portfolio versus quarterly loan loss allowances.

2Q22 public sector exposure (excluding BCRA) totaled $127.2 billion, growing 3.9% or $4.8 billion QoQ, and 61.3% or $48.4 billion YoY.

Short-term liquidity is mostly allocated in BCRA instruments, which increased 11.4% QoQ and 48.8% YoY in real terms. The quarterly increase is explained by a higher REPO position (at quarter-end).
Exposure to the public sector (excluding BCRA) represents 9.0% of total assets, above the 8.9% in 1Q22 and the 5.6% in 2Q21.
