Date of authorization of Financial Statements
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been approved and authorized for publication through Board of Directors' Minutes No. 743 dated June 9, 2025.
Basis for Preparation
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 “Interim Financial Information” (IAS 34).
In Argentina, the Group is subject to the provisions of Article 2, Section I, Chapter I of Title IV: Periodic Information Regime of the National Securities Commission (CNV) regulations and it is required to present its financial statements in accordance with the valuation and disclosure criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.
The Management of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. has concluded that the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements reasonably present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, in accordance with the IAS 34.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the notes normally included in an annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these consolidated condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
It should be noted that the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared by applying accounting standards and measurement criteria consistent with those applied by the Company for the preparation of the annual Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the modifications described in Note 1(e).
The accounting standards have been consistently applied in all entities of the Group.
(a)    Measurement Unit
IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of the current measurement unit as of the reporting period-end, irrespective of whether they are based on the historical cost or the current cost method. Accordingly, in general terms, non-monetary items should be adjusted for inflation occurring since the acquisition date or since the revaluation date, as the case may be. These requirements are also applicable to the comparative information reported in the financial statements. According to IAS 29, monetary assets and liabilities are not required to be restated, for they are stated in the measurement unit as of the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific
agreements will be adjusted on the basis of such agreements. Non-monetary items measured at their fair values at the end of the reporting period, such as net realizable value or otherwise, will not be restated. The other non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated by applying a general price index. The income (loss) from the net monetary position will be charged to net income for the reporting period in a separate item.
In order to conclude whether a given economy qualifies as hyperinflationary pursuant to the terms of IAS 29, the standard sets forth certain factors that should be considered, including a three-year cumulative inflation rate reaching or exceeding 100%.
The Group has applied IAS 29, Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary Economy, in preparing these consolidated condensed interim financial statements for all periods presented.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements are based on a historical cost.
(b)    Foreign Currency Translation
Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
The figures included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are stated in their functional currency, that is, in the currency of the main economic environment in which the Group operates.

Transactions and Balances
The transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate in force on the transactions or the valuation dates when the items are measured at closing exchange rate. Profits and losses in foreign currency resulting from the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency at closing exchange rate, are recognized in the Statement of Income in the item “Exchange Rate Differences Foreign Currency,” except when they are deferred in equity by transactions which qualify as cash flows hedges, if appropriate.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the US dollar defined by the Argentine Central Bank, in force at the close of operations on the last business day of each month.
As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, balances in US dollars were translated at the reference exchange rate (Ps. 1073.8750, Ps. 1032.5000, and Ps. 857.4167, respectively established by the Argentine Central Bank. Foreign currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into this currency using the types of exchange rate reported by the Argentine Central Bank.
