1. General Information

1.1. Information on Banco BBVA Argentina S.A.

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 235 national branches.

Since December 1996, BBVA Argentina is part of the global strategy of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. (hereinafter, either “BBVA” or the “Parent”), which directly and indirectly controls the Entity, by holding 66.55% of the share capital as of March 31, 2025.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the Entity and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”). Basis of consolidation is described in Note 2.2.

Part of the Entity's share 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 Evolution of the macroeconomic situation and the financial and capital systems

In recent years, the Argentine financial market has observed a prolonged period of volatility in the market values of public and private financial instruments, including a high level of country risk, an increase in the official exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the US dollar, an increase in interest rates, and a significant acceleration in the rate of inflation (see note 2.1.5. Measuring Unit).

On December 10, 2023, the new authorities of the Argentine National Government took office and promoted a series of emergency measures within the framework of an economic policy proposal that, among its main objectives, seeks to the elimination of the fiscal deficit based on the reduction of the primary public expenditure of both the Nation and the Provinces, and the resizing of the State’s structure, by eliminating subsidies and transfers.

As soon as the new administration took office, it adopted measures aimed at normalizing the foreign exchange and financial markets. On the one hand, the devaluation of the peso in the official exchange market -mainly used for foreign trade- close to 55%, together with a comprehensive revision of monetary and fiscal policies, has contributed to the narrowing of the gap between the values of foreign currencies in the official and free exchange markets (transactions in the stock market) from a peak of 200% during the last quarter of 2023. On April 11, 2025, the Argentine government announced a series of measures aimed at loosening the regulations to access the foreign exchange market. Among other changes, these measures include establishing currency bands (between ARS 1,000 and ARS 1,400, a range which will be adjusted at a 1% per month), within which the US dollar exchange rate may fluctuate in the foreign exchange market, and the lifting of foreign exchange restrictions applicable to natural persons, including the limit to access the foreign exchange market of up to USD 200 per month for individuals. As of the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements, the abovementioned gap between the exchange rates in the official and freely floating foreign exchange markets stands at 1%.

On the other hand, the National Government and the BCRA reformulated monetary and financial policies to drastically reduce the so-called quasi-fiscal deficit. The exchange of the BCRA's obligations with banks, including puts on public securities held by financial institutions, and their transfer to the National Treasury together with the fiscal surplus obtained by the National Government and the rollover of peso-denominated debt services, significantly absorbed the money surplus in the economy, thereby reducing both inflation (8.57% during the first quarter of 2025) and nominal interest rates.

- 11 -

 

In relation to sovereign debt, various voluntary local debt swaps, along with agreements reached regarding obligations with the Paris Club and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), allowed the country to avoid defaults, and the BCRA made progress in normalizing external commercial debt and, more recently, in accumulating international reserves sourced from both the trade surplus and the Asset Regularization Regime established under Law No. 27,743. On 11 April 2025, the IMF Executive Board approved an Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangement for Argentina totaling approximately USD 20 billion. This approval included an immediate disbursement of USD 12 billion and an additional disbursement of USD 2 billion scheduled for June 2025. On the same date, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank also approved financial assistance packages to Argentina under their respective multi-annual programs, amounting to USD 12 billion (of which USD 1.5 billion is to be disbursed immediately) and USD 10 billion, respectively.

At a broader level, the National Government’s programme includes structural reforms across both the economic framework and other areas of public policy. On 20 December 2023, by means of Emergency Decree No. 70/2023, a substantial package of reforms was enacted across a wide range of sectors. Some of these measures were legally challenged by affected stakeholders, who filed injunctions (“amparos”) and constitutional claims seeking to suspend their enforcement. Subsequently, certain provisions that had been subject to legal challenge were incorporated into other legislative initiatives, which were later approved by Congress and enacted by the Executive Branch. On July 8, 2024, Law 27,742, as enacted by the Federal Executive through Executive Decree No. 592/2024, was published on the Official Gazette, includes issues such as delegated powers to the Federal Executive, and tax, labor, and social security reforms, among others.

Even though the national macroeconomic and financial situation has improved favorably in recent months, the slow and uneven recovery of the country's level of activity, together with a relatively uncertain international context, require the Entity's Management to continuously monitor the situation in order to identify any matters that may affect its financial position and performance, which may need to be reflected in future financial statements.

2. Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards

2.1. Basis for preparation

2.1.1. Applicable Accounting Standards

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Bank were prepared in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA (Communication “A” 6114 as supplemented by the BCRA). Except for the exceptions established by the BCRA which are explained in the following paragraph, such framework is based on IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish). The abovementioned IFRS Accounting Standards include the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or former IFRIC (SIC).

Out of the exceptions set forth by the BCRA to the application of current IFRS Accounting Standards, the following affects the preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements:

- 12 -

 

Had the abovementioned paragraph 5.5. “Impairment” been applied in full, according to a global estimate made by the Entity, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, its shareholders’ equity would have been reduced by 3,741,499 and 5,542,383, respectively.

Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Entity comply with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB that have been currently approved and are applicable in the preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB as adopted by the BCRA as per Communication “A” 8164. In general, the BCRA does not allow the early application of any IFRS Accounting Standards, unless otherwise specified.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. on May 21, 2025.

2.1.2. Figures stated in thousands of pesos

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements expose figures stated in thousands of Argentine pesos in terms of purchasing power as of March 31, 2025 and are rounded to the nearest amount in thousands of pesos.

The Entity and its subsidiaries consider the Argentine peso as their functional and presentation currency.

2.1.3. Presentation of Statement of Financial Position

The Entity presents its Statement of Financial Position in order of liquidity, according to the model set forth in Communication “A” 6324 of the BCRA.

Financial assets and liabilities are generally reported in gross figures in the Statement of Financial Position. They are offset and reported on a net basis only if there is a legal and unconditional right to offset them and Management has the intention to settle them on a net basis or to realize assets and settle liabilities simultaneously.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements were prepared on the basis of historical amounts, except for certain species which were valued at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) or at Fair Value through Profit or Loss. In addition, in the case of derivatives, both assets and liabilities were valued at Fair Value through profit or loss.

2.1.4. Comparative information

The consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025 is presented comparatively with data as of the end of the previous fiscal year, while the consolidated condensed statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows and the related notes for the three-month period then ended are presented comparatively with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The figures of comparative information have been restated in order to consider the changes in the general purchasing power of the currency and, as a result, are stated in the measuring unit current as of the end of the reporting period (see “Measuring unit” below).

- 13 -

 

2.1.5. Measuring Unit

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been restated to be expressed in the purchasing power currency as of that date, as set forth in IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and considering, in addition, the particular rules issued by the BCRA in Communications “A” 6651, 6849, as amended and supplemented, which established that such method should be applied to financial statements for fiscal years starting on, and after January 1, 2020 and defined December 31, 2018 as transition date.

IFRS Accounting Standards require that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in constant currency. In order to achieve uniformity in the identification of such an economic environment, IAS 29 establishes (i) certain non-exclusive qualitative indicators consisting of analyzing the behavior of the population, prices, interest rates and salaries in view of the evolution of price indexes and the loss of purchasing power of the currency, and (ii) as a quantitative characteristic, which is the condition most commonly considered in practice, to verify whether the cumulative inflation rate in three years approaches or exceeds 100%. Due to several macroeconomic factors, three-year inflation was above this figure, while the national government's targets and other available projections indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term.

Such restatement should be made as if the economy has always been hyperinflationary, using a general price index that reflects the changes in the purchasing power of currency. In order to make such restatements, a series of indexes prepared and published on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), which combines the consumer price index (CPI) as from January 2017 (base month: December 2016) with the domestic wholesale price index (IPIM, as per its Spanish acronym) published by INDEC until such date, computing for November and December 2015, for which the INDEC did not published any information on the variation of the IPIIM, the variation of the CPI in the City of Buenos Aires.

Considering the index referred to above, inflation for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 8.57% and 51.62%, respectively, and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, it was 117.76%.

Below is a description of the main impacts of applying IAS 29 and the restatement process of financial statements set forth by Communication “A” 6849, as supplemented, of the BCRA:

- 14 -

 

2.2. Basis for consolidation

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements comprise the Entity’s and its subsidiaries’ financial statements (the “Group”) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Bank. The Bank controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its continued involvement with the entity and has the ability to manage the operating and financial policies of that entity, in order to affect those returns.

- 15 -

 

This is generally observed in the case of an ownership interest representing more than 50% of its shares entitled to vote.

However, under particular circumstances, the Entity may exercise control with an ownership interest below 50% or may not exercise control even with an ownership interest above 50% in the shares of an investee.

When assessing if an Entity has power over an investee and therefore, whether it controls the variability of its yields, the Entity considers all the relevant events and circumstances, including:

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as from the date on which effective control thereof is transferred to the Entity and they are no longer consolidated as from the date on which such control ceases. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the Entity’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Transactions among consolidated entities are fully eliminated.

Any change in the ownership interest in a subsidiary, without loss of control, is booked as an equity transaction. Conversely, if the Entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other equity components, while any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, and any retained investment is recognized at fair value at the date of loss of control.

The financial statements of subsidiaries have been prepared as of the same date and for the same accounting periods as those of the Entity, using the related accounting policies consistently with those applied by the Entity. If necessary, the relevant adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries so that the accounting policies used by the Group are uniform.

Besides, non-controlling interests represent the portion of income or loss and shareholders’ equity that does not belong, either directly or indirectly, to the Entity. Non-controlling interests are exposed in these financial statements in a separate line in the Statements of Financial Position, of Income, Other Comprehensive Income and Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Entity has consolidated its financial statements with the financial statements of the following companies:

- 16 -

 

On December 7, 2010, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) filed a lawsuit for damages against the Argentine government under case No. 40.437/2010. The lawsuit was ratified by BBVA Banco Francés in its capacity as the Company’s majority shareholder. On July 1, 2021, a decision rejecting the claim was issued. On August 9, 2022, Room I of the Federal Court of Appeals in Contentious and Administrative Matters ratified the trial court decision. On August 25, 2022, a federal extraordinary appeal was filed against the abovementioned resolution, which was partially accepted in regard to the federal issue at stake and rejected the request concerning the grounds of arbitrariness through the court decision dated September 15, 2022. Considering the partial rejection, an appeal was filed with the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice on September 21, 2022. As of the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements, neither the outcome of the legal process referred to nor the final assessment of the case by the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice can be estimated. Likewise, in the hypothetical event that in the event of a rejection of the claim, all or part of the costs were imposed on Consolidar AFJP S.A. (in liquidation) and that the assets of said entity were insufficient to support them, the Bank would face such expenses, reserving the right to repeat the proportional part corresponding to the remaining shareholder.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Entity’s interest in consolidated companies is as follows:

- 17 -

 

The Entity’s and its subsidiaries’ total assets, liabilities and equity as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are as follows:

Offer for the acquisition of 50% of FCA Compañía Financiera S.A.

On December 18, 2024, the Bank accepted an offer from FIDIS S.P.A. to acquire 50% of FCA Compañía Financiera S.A.'s capital stock (“FCA CF”).

- 18 -

 

FCA CF is a financial company authorized by the BCRA's Board of Directors through Resolution No. 432, dated September 16, 1999, which became part of the Stellantis global automotive group, which is mainly engaged in providing financing to local residents of the private sector aimed at purchasing vehicles of the Fiat, Jeep and RAM brands. All of these goods are manufactured and/or sold by FCA Automobiles Argentina, S.A.

The acquisition of the shares and the payment of the price will be made after obtaining the authorization of the BCRA and all other applicable regulatory and antitrust authorizations (the “Closing”). The transaction price was initially estimated at about 14,823 million Argentine pesos based on the September 30, 2024 Financial Statements. However, under the terms of the offer, the price will be determined on the basis of the financial statements closest to the closing, and it will be subject to the usual subsequent adjustments in this type of transactions.

The Entity’s Board of Directors considers that there are no other companies or structured entities that should be included in the interim consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2025.

Trusts

The Group acts as a trustee for financial, management and guarantee trusts (see Note 50). Upon determining if the Group controls the trusts, the Group has analyzed the existence of control, under the terms of IFRS 10. Consequently, how power is configured on the relevant activities of the vehicle, the impact of changes in returns over those Structured Entities on the Group, and the relation of both have been evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, it has been concluded that the Group acts as an agent and therefore does not consolidate those trusts.

Mutual funds

The Group acts as fund manager in various mutual funds (see Note 51). To determine whether the Group controls a mutual fund, the aggregate economic interest of the Group in such mutual fund (comprising any carried interests and expected management fees) is usually assessed, and it is considered that investors have no right to remove the fund manager without cause. The Group has concluded that it has no control over any of these mutual funds.

2.3. Summary of significant accounting policies

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA mentioned in Note 2.1.1 “Applied accounting policies”, which, in particular for consolidated condensed interim financial statements, is based on IAS 34 “Interim financial reporting”.

In preparing these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, in addition to what is explained in Notes 2.1.5 “Measuring Unit" and 2.5 "Regulatory changes made this year", the Entity has consistently applied the basis of presentation and consolidation, significant accounting policies and judgments, estimates and accounting assumptions described in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which have already been issued, except as indicated in Note 2.1.1.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include all the information necessary for users to properly understand the basis of preparation and presentation applied in their preparation, as well as the significant events and transactions that have occurred since the issuance of the last annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. However, these consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, these consolidated condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which have already been issued.

- 19 -

 

2.3.1. Going concern

The Entity's Management conducted an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, Management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.4. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the preparation and consideration, by the Entity’s and its subsidiaries’ Management, of significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact in the reported balances of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, as well as in the determination and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the end of the reporting period.

The entries made are based on the best estimate of the probability of occurrence of different future events. In this sense, the uncertainties associated with the estimates and assumptions adopted may result in the future in final results that would differ from such estimates and require significant adjustments to the reported balances of the assets and liabilities affected. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and their effect is recognized prospectively.

The most significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements were the same as those described in Notes 2.4.1, 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, which have already been issued.

2.5. Regulatory changes introduced during this fiscal year

In the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, the following amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards became effective, which have not had a significant impact on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements taken as a whole:

Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 relating to the “Lack of exchangeability”. The amendment to IAS 21 specifies how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when interchangeability is lacking. A currency is considered to be exchangeable for another currency when an entity is able to obtain the other currency without undue delay and through markets or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights and obligations. If a currency is not exchangeable for another currency, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate at the measurement date. An entity's purpose in estimating the spot rate is to reflect the rate at which an orderly exchange transaction would take place at the measurement date between market participants under prevailing economic conditions. The amendments state that an entity may use an unadjusted observable exchange rate or other estimation technique.

When an entity estimates a spot exchange rate because a currency is not exchangeable for another currency, it should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand how the fact of that currency not being interchangeable affects, the entity's performance, financial position and cash flows.

- 20 -

 

2.6. New pronouncements

As established in BCRA Communiqué “A” 6114, as the new IFRS Accounting Standards are approved, either by amending or repealing former ones, and once all these changes are adopted through the adoption circulars published by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE), the BCRA will issue an opinion regarding its approval for financial institutions. In general, early application will not be allowed with respect of any new IFRS unless expressly admitted upon their adoption.

The standards and interpretations applicable to the Entity, issued but ineffective as of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements are disclosed below. The Entity will adopt these standards, if applicable, when they are effective.

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements”, which addresses the format for the presentation of profit or loss in financial statements, performance measures defined by management and aggregation/disaggregation of disclosures. This standard will replace IAS 1 and is effective from January 1, 2027. The Entity is evaluating the effects these amendments may have on the financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, which:

These amendments are effective from January 1, 2026. The Entity is evaluating the effects these amendments may have on the financial statements.

Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards

In July 2024, the IASB published Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11. Below is a summary of the amendments made:

- 21 -

 

These amendments are effective from January 1, 2026. The Entity is evaluating the effects these amendments may have on the financial statements.

Such deferral has been recognized as a deferred tax asset.

Consequently, as of December 31, 2021, the Entity accounted for an adjustment in nominal values to the income tax liability assessed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 in the amount of 5,817,000 (122,918,865 in restated values), with the ensuing impact on deferred tax assets by 5,033,000 (decrease) (108,950,408 in restated values) and on the income tax expense of 784,000 (13,968,467 in restated values).
