BBVA Argentina (NYSE: BBAR) 2025 results and FCA CF acquisition
Banco BBVA Argentina reports full-year 2025 results in constant Argentine pesos under hyperinflation accounting. Total assets rose to 25,408,873,966 thousand from 19,370,448,517 thousand, with deposits up to 17,205,076,066 thousand. Net income attributable to owners fell to 249,991,365 thousand from 464,683,539 thousand, and basic earnings per share declined to 408.0092 pesos from 758.4069. Operating cash flow was 999,824,978 thousand and year-end cash and cash equivalents reached 4,752,327,306 thousand. The bank distributed dividends of 117,621,440 thousand in 2025, equal to 145.93 pesos per share, and closed the acquisition of 50% of FCA Compañía Financiera S.A. for 37,271 million, recognizing a gain of 1,037,391.

Insights
Stronger balance sheet growth, weaker 2025 earnings, plus an auto-finance acquisition.
BBVA Argentina expanded its balance sheet in 2025, with assets rising to 25.4T pesos and deposits to 17.2T. Loan volumes increased materially, while the bank operated under Argentina’s hyperinflation framework, restating figures per IAS 29.
Profitability softened: net income attributable to owners was 249.99B pesos versus 464.68B a year earlier, and net interest income declined. Earnings per share fell to 408.01 pesos, and comprehensive income was heavily affected by fair value and OCI movements.
Strategically, the 50% purchase of FCA Compañía Financiera for 37,271M pesos adds exposure to new-car financing, with a modest bargain purchase gain of 1.04B. Future disclosures will show how this portfolio contributes to interest income and asset quality once fully reflected over a full fiscal year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, COMPARATIVE WITH THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR
(Amounts stated in thousands of Argentine pesos in constant currency – Note 2.1.5.)
(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 56)
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 234 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 December 31, 2025.
These consolidated 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
Milei’s administration took office and among its main objectives, there were 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.
The measures taken regarding the monetary policy have significantly reduced the gap between the values of currencies in the official and free exchange markets (transactions in the stock market) from a peak of 200% in Q4 2023 to 4% as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. In April 2025, new measures were established aimed at loosening the regulations to access the foreign exchange market, including establishing floating bands (started between ARS 1,000 and ARS 1,400, a range adjusted at a 1% per month until December 2025, and from January 2026 onwards, in line with the evolution of inflation), within which the US dollar exchange rate can fluctuate in the foreign exchange market, the elimination of foreign exchange restrictions applicable to individuals, the authorization of companies to transfer dividends abroad to non-resident shareholders for the fiscal years starting from January 1, 2025 and increased flexibility to make payments abroad for imports of goods and services, among other regulations.
Among other monetary and financial measures, and with the aim of drastically reducing the so-called quasi-fiscal deficit, the authorities carried out debt swaps involving the BCRA’s obligations with banks, as well as put options on government securities held by financial institutions, and transferred such instruments to the National Treasury. Together with the fiscal surplus recorded by the National Government and the rollover of peso-denominated debt services, these actions allowed for a significant reduction in inflation (31.5% during the year 2025) and in nominal interest rates, although the latter have shown an increased level of volatility.
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, in accumulating international reserves sourced from both the trade surplus and the Asset Regularization Regime established under Law No. 27,743. In 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 made in August 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 and USD 10 billion, respectively. Finally, on October 20, 2025, the BCRA announced the signing of a currency stabilization agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department for an amount of up to USD 20 billion for conducting bilateral currency swap transactions between both parties. On December 15, 2025, the BCRA announced its international reserves accumulation goals of USD 17 billion for 2026, to be met by purchasing currencies in the MULC (“Mercado Único y Libre de Cambio”, in Spanish).
|
| - 11 - |
At a broader level, the National Government’s programme includes structural reforms across both the economic framework and other areas of public policy. On October 26, 2025, national legislative elections were held, the results of which will lead to an increase in the governing party’s parliamentary representation. In the following days, there was a significant increase in the prices of Argentine financial assets and a reduction in the country-risk premium, while the Argentine government announced a call to other political forces to seek consensus to advance its package of economic, labor, and tax reforms, among others. Finally, during December 2025, the Argentine Congress approved the 2026 Budget with growth goals and a reduction of the expected inflationary level.
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 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 financial statements:
| - | Within the framework of the convergence process to IFRS Accounting Standards established by Communication “A” 6114, as amended and supplemented, the BCRA provided that for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” according to BCRA regulations, as such is the case of the Entity, are required to start to apply paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (paragraphs B5.5.1 through B5.5.55) except for exposures to the public sector, considering the exclusion set forth by Communication “A” 6847. |
Had the abovementioned paragraph 5.5. “Impairment” been applied in full, according to an estimate made by the Entity, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, its shareholders’ equity would have been reduced by 482,659 and 6,715,450, respectively.
|
| - 12 - |
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 financial statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB as adopted by the BCRA as per Communication “A” 8400. 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 March 4, 2026.
2.1.2. Figures stated in thousands of pesos
These consolidated financial statements expose figures stated in thousands of Argentine pesos in terms of purchasing power as of December 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 financial 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 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, and other Assets and Liabilities assumed in the Business Combination that were also valued at Fair Value through profit or loss.
2.1.4. Comparative information
The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Income, Other Comprehensive Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows and the related Notes as of December 31, 2025 are presented comparatively with the previous fiscal year end.
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 year (see “Measuring unit” below).
2.1.5. Measuring Unit
These consolidated financial statements as of December 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.
|
| - 13 - |
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, 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 fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 31.55% and 117.76%, respectively.
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:
| a) | Description of the main aspects of the restatement process of the statement of financial position: |
| i. | Monetary items (those with a fixed nominal value in local currency) are not restated, as they are already expressed in the measuring unit current as of the end of the reporting year. In an inflationary period, holding monetary assets generates a loss of purchasing power and holding monetary liabilities generates a gain in purchasing power, provided that such items are not subject to an adjustment mechanism that may offset these effects to some extent. Gain or loss on net monetary position is included in income (loss) for the reporting year. |
| ii. | Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments pursuant to specific agreements are adjusted according to such agreements. |
| iii. | Non-monetary items measured at their current values at the end of the reporting year are not restated for their presentation in the statement of financial position, but the adjustment process must be completed in order to determine in terms of constant measuring unit, the gain or loss generated for holding those non-monetary items. |
| iv. | Non-monetary items measured at historical cost or at a value current as of a date prior to the end of the reporting year are restated at indexes that reflect the variation occurred in the general price index as from the date of acquisition or restatement until the closing date, and then the restated amounts of said assets are compared with the relevant recoverable values. Charges to income or loss for the year of depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, as well as any other consumption of non-monetary assets are determined based on the new restated amounts. |
| v. | The restatement of non-monetary assets in terms of a measuring unit current at the end of the reporting year without an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes results in a taxable temporary difference and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities, whose balancing entry is recognized in income or loss for the year. |
| b) | Description of the main aspects of the restatement process of the statements of income and other comprehensive income: |
| i. | Expenses and income are restated as from the date of their booking, except those income or loss items that reflect or include in their determination the consumption of assets in purchasing power currency of a date prior to the booking of the consumption, which are restated taking as basis the date of origination of the asset with which the item is related; and also except for income or loss arising from comparing two measurements expressed in purchasing power currency of different dates, for which it is necessary to identify the amounts compared, restate them separately, and make the comparison again, but with the amounts already restated. |
|
| - 14 - |
| ii. | Gain or loss on net monetary position will be classified according to the item that originated it, and is presented in a separate line reflecting the effect of inflation on monetary items. |
| c) | Description of the main aspects of the restatement process of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity: |
| i. | As of the transition date (December 31, 2018), the Entity has applied the following procedures: |
| a) | Equity items, except those stated below, are restated as from the date on which they were subscribed for or paid-in, as set forth in Communication “A” 6849 for each particular item. |
| b) | Reserves, including the reserve for first time application of IFRS Accounting Standards, were maintained at their nominal value as of the transition date (non-restated legal amount). |
| c) | Restated retained earnings are determined according to the difference between restated net assets as of the transition date and the rest of the components of initial equity restated as described above. |
| d) | Balances of other accumulated comprehensive income were restated as of the transition date. |
| ii. | After the restatement as of the transition date stated in (i) above, all the shareholders’ equity components are restated by applying the general price index from the beginning of the fiscal year and each variation of those components is restated from the date of contribution or from the moment such variation occurred by other means, restating the balances of other accumulated comprehensive income according to the items that give rise to it. Under BCRA requirements, the restatement of share capital and additional paid-in capital is disclosed under “Inflation adjustment to the share capital” account. |
| d) | Description of the main aspects of the restatement process of the statement of cash flows: |
| i. | All items are restated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the end of the reporting year. |
| ii. | Monetary gain or loss on the components of cash and cash equivalents are disclosed in the statement of cash flows after operating, investing and financing activities, in a separate line and independent from them, under “Effect of net monetary income/(loss) of cash and cash equivalents”. |
2.2. Basis for consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Entity’s and its subsidiaries’ financial statements (the “Group”) as of December 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.
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:
|
| - 15 - |
| – | The purpose and design of the investee. |
| – | The relevant activities, the decision-making process on these activities and whether the Entity and its subsidiaries can manage those activities. |
| – | Contractual agreements such as call options, put options and settlement rights. |
| – | If the Entity and its subsidiaries are exposed to, or entitled to, variable yields arising from their interest in the investee, and are empowered to affect their variability. |
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 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Entity consolidates its financial statements with the financial statements of the following companies, except FCA Compañía Financiera S.A., which is consolidated by the Entity as of December 31, 2025:
| Subsidiaries | Registered Office | Province | Country | Main Business Activity |
| Volkswagen Financial Services Cía. Financiera S.A. | Av. Córdoba 111, 30th Floor | City of Buenos Aires | Argentina | Financing |
| PSA Finance Arg. Cía. Financiera S.A. | Carlos María Della Paolera 265, 22nd Floor | City of Buenos Aires | Argentina | Financing |
| FCA Compañía Financiera S.A. | Carlos María Della Paolera 265, 22nd Floor | City of Buenos Aires | Argentina | Financing |
| Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) (1) | Av. Córdoba 111, 22nd Floor | City of Buenos Aires | Argentina | Retirement and Pension Fund Manager |
| BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A.U. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión | Av. Córdoba 111, 30th Floor | City of Buenos Aires | Argentina | Mutual Funds Manager and Comprehensive Settlement and Clearing Agent |
| (1) | Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) “Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings)”: a 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 pay-as-you go system 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 fund 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. |
|
| - 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. Notice was given to the Attorney General of the Nation, who issued two non-binding opinions recommending that the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice reject the appeals filed by Consolidar AFJP S.A. 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Entity’s interest in consolidated companies is as follows, except FCA Compañía Financiera S.A., which is consolidated by the Entity as of December 31, 2025:
| Subsidiaries | Shares | Interest held by the Company | Non-controlling interest | |||
| Type | Number | Total share capital | Votes | Total share capital | Votes | |

(1) According to the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Bank controls the entity because it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its continued involvement with the entity and has the ability to direct the relevant activities in order to affect those returns, such as financial and risk management activities, among others.

Closing of the acquisition of 50% of FCA Compañía Financiera S.A.’s capital stock and determination of final consideration
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.
On November 5, 2025, the BCRA issued a resolution whereby it decided not to make any findings under section 15, Financial Institutions Law No. 21,526, to the changes in shareholding made in FCA CF, whereby the Bank and Stellantis Financial Services Europe has become shareholders, each with an equity interest of 50% (fifty percent) in FCA CF’s capital stock and voting rights upon consummation of the transaction involving the actual transfer of 100% of FCA’s capital stock from Fidis S.p.A. and FCA Automobiles Argentina S.A. in favor of the new shareholders.
In addition, on November 6, 2025, based on the recommendation of the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (Argentine anti-trust board), the Department of Industry and Trade authorized the economic concentration consisting of the acquisition of the joint control over FCA Compañía Financiera S.A. by the new shareholders under section 14(a), Law No. 27,442.
On December 10, 2025, the closing of the transaction took place, through which BBVA Argentina acquired 50% of the share capital of FCA CF, following the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals and the holding of the FCA CF Shareholders' Meeting, at which, among other matters, the amendment of the bylaws as well as changes to the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee were approved. This transaction allows BBVA Argentina to strengthen its customer service in the new-car financing segment, in a market with significant potential.
Furthermore, the transaction price of the operation amounted to 37,271 million, including the adjustment determined in accordance with the applicable contractual terms and based on the financial information as of November 30, 2025.
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of FCA CF as of the acquisition date were as follows:
| ASSETS | ||
| Cash and deposits in banks | 9,246,080 | |
| Other financial assets | 18,310 | |
| Loans and other financing | 385,839,724 | |
| Property, plant and equipment | 634,988 | |
| Intangible assets | 795,375 | |
| Other non-financial assets | 219,543 | |
| 396,754,020 | ||
| LIABILITIES | ||
| Deposits | 25,832,464 | |
| Derivatives | 148,556 | |
| Other financial liabilities | 89,685,797 | |
| Financing received from the BCRA and other financial institutions | 160,466,036 | |
| Corporate bonds issued | 27,187,690 | |
| Current income tax liabilities | 4,979,342 | |
| Provisions | 524,954 | |
| Deferred income tax liabilities | 6,573,903 | |
| Other non-financial liabilities | 4,739,278 | |
| 320,138,020 | ||
| NET ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE | 76,616,000 | |
Since the amount of the net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the price paid, including the estimated price adjustment based on available information, the Entity recorded a gain of 1,037,391, which is recorded in the item " Income from associates and joint ventures".
|
| - 19 - |
The Entity has elected to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the proportion of its ownership interest in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
In accordance with the Basis for Conclusions of IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the Bank elected to use a “convenience” date to determine the date on which control of the acquiree was obtained. Accordingly, December 31, 2025 was defined as the effective date of obtaining control for accounting purposes, instead of the actual acquisition date (December 10, 2025).
This approach was adopted as no significant changes were identified in the equity or results of FCA CF during the period between those dates and, therefore, the effect of this simplification is considered immaterial for the purposes of these financial statements.
As a result, FCA CF has not contributed results to the consolidated operations of BBVA Argentina for the year ended December 31, 2025. If the business combination had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year, the Bank’s profit before tax would have increased by 8,006,274 after considering the non-controlling interest. In addition, in the group’s consolidated financial statements the interest income would have increased by 93,092,849.
The Board of Directors of the Entity considers that there are no other companies or structured entities that should be included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Trusts
The Group acts as a trustee for financial, management and guarantee trusts (see Note 51). 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 52). 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. Significant accounting policies
These consolidated financial statements as of December 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”.
In preparing these consolidated 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 significant accounting assumptions for the fiscal years presented in these consolidated financial statements, except as indicated in Note 2.5.
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.
2.3.2. Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of Group entities at the spot exchange rates published by the BCRA at the date of the transactions.
|
| - 20 - |
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate at fiscal year-end.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange rate differences are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the line “Foreign exchange and gold gains/ (losses)”.
2.3.3. Cash and deposits in banks
The item “Cash and cash equivalents” includes cash and unrestricted balances kept with the BCRA and on-demand accounts held at local and foreign financial institutions.
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
2.3.4. Financial assets and liabilities
a) Recognition
The Group initially recognizes loans, deposits, debt securities issued and liabilities at the date of origination. All other financial instruments (including ordinary purchases and sales of financial assets) are recognized on the date of negotiation, that is to say, the date when the Group becomes part to contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group recognizes purchases of financial instruments with the commitment of non-optional repurchase at a certain price (repos) as a financing granted in the line “Repo transactions” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The difference between the purchase and sale prices of those instruments is recorded as interest accrued during the term of the transactions using the effective interest method.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized at fair value plus (in the case of assets) or minus (in the case of liabilities) the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset or the issuance of the liability.
The transaction price is usually the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition.
However, if the Group determines that the fair value at initial recognition is different from the consideration received or paid, when the level of the fair value hierarchy is 1 or 2, the financial instrument is initially recognized at fair value and the difference is recognized in profit or loss. If the level of the fair value hierarchy at initial recognition is 3, the difference between the fair value and the consideration is deferred in the term of the instrument. After initial recognition, the Group will recognize such deferred gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account in pricing the asset or liability. The difference referred to above, which mainly corresponds to credit card transactions, is recognized in “Initial recognition of loans” under “Other operating expenses” in the consolidated statement of income. Then, these assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b) Classification of financial assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified and measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions:
| – | the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows, and |
| – | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest.” |
|
| - 21 - |
A financial asset is measured at fair value through OCI if it meets both of the following conditions:
| – | the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and |
| – | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest.” |
For a financial asset measured at FVOCI, gains and losses are recognized in OCI, except for the following, which are recognized in profit or loss in the same manner as financial assets measured at amortized cost:
| – | Interest income using the effective interest method; |
| – | Expected credit losses (ECL) and reversals; and |
| – | Exchange gains and losses. |
When a financial asset measured at FVOCI is derecognized, the accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
In the initial recognition of an equity instrument not held for trading, the Group may choose for each instrument individually to present changes in fair value in OCI. Gains and losses on such equity instruments are never reclassified to profit or loss and no impairment in profit or loss is recognized. Dividends are recognized in profit or loss unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment, in which case they are recognized in OCI. Accrued gains and losses recognized in OCI are transferred to retained earnings at the time of disposition of an investment.
In the initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or FVOCI or FVPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting asymmetry that would otherwise arise.
All other financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. This category includes derivative financial instruments.
Business model assessment
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of a business model in which an asset is held at a portfolio level. The information considered includes:
| – | the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the implementation of those policies. In particular, whether Management focuses on revenues derived from contractual interest; |
| – | how the performance of the portfolio is assessed and reported to Management; |
| – | the risks that affect the performance of the business model and how those risks are managed; |
| – | how managers of the portfolio are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the cash flows collected; and |
| – | the frequency, volume and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and future sales projection. However, information about sales levels is not considered in isolation, but as part of an overall assessment of how the Group sets its financial asset management objectives. |
Financial assets that are held for trading or managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Assessment on whether cash flows are “solely payments of principal and interest” (SPPI test)
In the assessment of whether contractual cash flows are “solely payments of principal and interest”, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risks associated with the outstanding principal amount. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition.
|
| - 22 - |
In performing such assessment, the Group considers:
| – | Contingent events that would change the amount and timing of cash flows; |
| – | Leverage features; |
| – | Prepayment and extension terms; |
| – | Terms that limit the Bank’s claim to cash flows from specified assets; and |
| – | Features that modify consideration of the time value of money (e.g. periodical reset of interest rate). |
Reclassifications
Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition, except for a change in the Group's business models. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
c) Classification of financial liabilities
The Group classifies its financial liabilities, other than derivatives, guarantees issued and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as measured at amortized cost.
Financial instruments held for trading and derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities held for trading have been acquired or incurred primarily to be sold or repurchased in the short term, or are held as part of a portfolio which is jointly managed to make short-term profits or to take positions. Trade liabilities are initially recognized and then measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, with transaction costs being recognized through profit or loss. Changes in fair value are recognized through profit or loss as part of the net revenues from trading.
Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss that it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when it is due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
The debt from financial guarantees issued is initially recognized at fair value. The debt is subsequently measured at the higher of the amortized amount and the present value of any expected payment to settle the liability when a payment under the contract has become probable.
The Group recognizes sales of financial instruments with the commitment of non-optional repurchase at a certain price (repos) as a financing received in the line “Repo transactions” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The difference between the purchase and sale prices of those instruments is recorded as interest accrued during the term of the transactions using the effective interest method and is accounted for in the line "Interest expenses" in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
d) Measurement at amortized cost
The amortized cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount of its initial recognition less the capital reimbursements, plus or less the amortization, using the effective interest method, of any difference between the initial amount and the amount at maturity. In the case of financial assets, it also includes any impairment.
e) Changes in financial assets and liabilities
i) Financial assets
If the terms of a financial asset are changed, then the Group assesses whether the cash flows of the changed asset are substantially different.
|
| - 23 - |
If the cash flows are substantially different, then the contractual rights to the cash flows of the original financial asset are considered to have expired. In this case, the original financial asset is derecognized, and a new financial asset is recognized at its fair value plus any eligible transaction costs. Any fees received as part of the modification are accounted for as follows:
| – | Fees that are considered in determining the fair value of the new asset and fees that represent the reimbursement of eligible transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of the asset; and |
| – | Other fees are included in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on derecognition. |
If cash flows are modified when the borrower is facing financial difficulties, then the purpose of the modification is usually to maximize the recovery of the original contractual terms rather than originating a new asset with substantially different terms. If the Group plans to modify a financial asset in a way that results in the forgiveness of cash flows, then it first considers whether a portion of the asset should be written off before the modification is carried out. This approach impacts the outcome of the quantitative assessment, and the derecognition criteria are generally not met in such cases.
If the modification of a financial asset measured at amortized cost or FVOCI does not result in the financial asset being derecognized from the accounts, then the Group first recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset using the original effective interest rate of the asset and recognizes the resulting adjustment as a modification of gain or loss in profit or loss. For floating-rate financial assets, the original effective interest rate used to calculate the gain or loss of the modification is adjusted to reflect the current market terms at the time of the modification. Any costs or fees incurred, and fees received as part of the modification adjust the gross carrying amount of the modified financial asset and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified financial asset.
If such modification is carried out due to financial difficulties of the borrower, then the gain or loss is presented along with impairment losses. In other cases, it is presented as interest income calculated using the effective interest rate method.
ii) Financial Liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at its fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss. The consideration paid includes any non-financial assets transferred, if any, and the assumption of liabilities, including the new modified financial liability.
If the modification of a financial liability is not accounted for as derecognition, then the amortized cost of the liability is recalculated by discounting the modified cash flows at the original effective interest rate, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. For floating-rate financial liabilities, the original effective interest rate used to calculate the gain or loss on modification is adjusted to reflect the current market terms at the time of modification. Any costs and fees incurred are recognized as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the liability and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified financial liability by recalculating the effective interest rate of the instrument.
f) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
i) Financial Assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognized) and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in OCI is recognized in profit or loss.
|
| - 24 - |
Any cumulative gain/loss recognized in OCI in respect of equity investment securities designated as at FVOCI is not recognized in profit or loss on derecognition of such securities. Any interest in transferred financial assets that qualify for derecognition that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. In such cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized. Examples of such transactions are securities lending and sale-and-repurchase transactions.
When assets are sold to a third party with a concurrent total rate of return swap on the transferred assets, the transaction is accounted for as a secured financing transaction similar to sale-and-repurchase transactions, because the Group retains all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of such assets.
In transactions in which the Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and it retains control over the asset, the Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset.
In certain transactions, the Group retains the obligation to service the transferred financial asset for a fee. The transferred asset is derecognized if it meets the derecognition criteria. An asset or liability is recognized for the servicing contract if the servicing fee is more than adequate (asset) or is less than adequate (liability) for performing the servicing.
ii) Financial Liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.
g) Impairment of financial assets
By means of Communication “A” 6778, as amended, the BCRA established the adoption of the expected credit 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”) for Group “A” institutions, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with retroactive effects. The impact of the change in accounting policy was recognized in Unappropriated retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which is the transition date. Until such date, the Entity applied the impairment model established by the BCRA pursuant to Communication "A" 2950 as amended, which requires the recognition of allowances for loan losses based on minimum guidelines established by the BCRA.
As from January 1, 2020, the Bank recognizes the allowance for loan losses based on the expected credit loss model, for the following financial instruments that 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 IFRS 9 impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for investments in equity instruments. Additionally, all financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are excluded from the impairment model.
|
| - 25 - |
The standard classifies financial instruments into three categories, which depend on the evolution of their credit risk from the moment of initial recognition. The first category includes the transactions with no significant increase in credit risk since their initial recognition and not impaired for which a 12-month ECL is recognized (Stage 1); the second comprises the financial assets for which a significant increase in credit risk has been identified since its initial recognition but which are not credit-impaired (Stage 2) for which a lifetime ECL is recognized; and the third category which is for impaired financial assets where one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred (Stage 3).
The calculation of provisions for credit risk in each of these three categories is carried out differently according to expected loss concepts:
| – | Expected loss at 12 months: Expected credit loss arising from possible default events within the 12 months following the date of financial statements presentation, applicable to financial assets classified in Stage 1; and |
| – | Expected credit losses over the life of the transaction: It is the expected credit loss arising from all possible default events during the remaining life of the financial instrument, applicable to financial assets classified in Stage 2 and 3. |
All of this requires considerable judgment, both in modeling for the estimation of expected losses and in forecasts, on how economic factors affect such losses, which must be made on a weighted probability basis.
The Group has applied the following definitions in accordance with IFRS 9:
Definition of Default
It will be consider that a default can occur when one or both of the following conditions are met:
| – | Objective Default: the obligor has material past due balances for more than 90 consecutive days with respect to any credit obligation. Materiality is defined by an absolute threshold (maximum amount of the sum of all past due amounts fixed in local currency at 30 thousand pesos for retail portfolios and 151 thousand pesos for wholesale portfolios) and a relative threshold (percentage reflecting the past due amount in relation to the total amount of all exposures to the obligor included in the balance sheet, excluding equity exposures, fixed at 1% for all portfolios). |
| – | Subjective Default: when there are reasonable doubts about the entity’s ability to pay all of its debt obligations. In addition to an objective default, subjective default takes into account other indicators of probability of default such as a specific credit risk adjustment, forced restructurings, connected clients, clients in bankruptcy, among others. |
Restructured financial assets
Policies and principles regarding refinancing and restructuring transactions
Refinancing and restructuring transactions are carried out with customers who have requested such transactions in order to meet the payments of their current loans if they are expected, or may be expected, to experience financial difficulties in making payments in the future.
The basic objective of a refinancing or restructuring transaction is to provide the customer with a financially viable situation over time by adapting the repayment of the loan contracted with the Group to the customer’s new cash-generation situation. The use of refinancing and restructuring for other purposes, such as delaying the recognition of losses, is contrary to the Group’s policies.
The Group’s refinancing and restructuring policies are based on the following general principles:
– Refinancing and restructuring are authorized based on customers’ ability to pay the new installments. This involves first identifying the source of the payment difficulties and then conducting an analysis of the customers’ viability, including an updated analysis of their economic and financial situation and their ability to pay and generate funds. If the customer is a company, the analysis also covers the situation of the industry in which it operates.
|
| - 26 - |
– With the aim of increasing the solvency of the operation, new guarantees and/or guarantors of demonstrable solvency are obtained where possible. An essential part of this process is an analysis of the effectiveness of both the new and original collateral.
– This analysis is carried out from the overall perspective of the customer or the group.
– Refinancing and restructuring transactions generally do not increase the amount of the customer’s loan, except for expenses inherent to the transaction itself.
– The capacity to refinance and restructure loans is not delegated to the branches, but decided by the risk units.
– The decisions taken are periodically reviewed in order to assess full compliance with the refinancing and restructuring policies.
In the case of retail customers (private individuals), the main aim of the Group’s policy on refinancing and restructuring loans is to avoid default arising from a customer’s temporary liquidity problems by implementing structural solutions that do not increase the balance of the customer’s loan. The solution required is adapted to each case and the loan repayment is facilitated, in accordance with the following principles:
– Analysis of the viability of the operations based on the customer’s willingness and ability to pay, which may be reduced, but should nevertheless be present. The customer must therefore repay at least the interest on the operation in all cases. No arrangements may be concluded that involve a grace period for both principal and interest.
| – | Refinancing and restructuring of operations is only allowed on those loans in which the Group originally entered into. |
| – | Customers subject to refinancing and restructuring operations are excluded from marketing campaigns of any kind. |
In restructuring or refinancing, the cure period is defined as one year from the latest of the following:
– The moment of extending the restructuring measures.
– The moment at which the exposure has been classified as defaulted.
– The end of the grace period included in the restructuring agreements.
In addition, this period must not be shorter than the period during which the customer has made the material payment.
During the cure period, the financings will be assigned a 100% PD and classified in Stage 3.
Once the Stage 3 cure period has ended, the refinanced or restructured contract will be transferred to Stage 2 for an additional two years.
If the terms of a financial asset are renegotiated or amended, or if the financial asset is replaced with 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 restructuring does not result in the derecognition of the existing asset, then, the expected cash flows from the restructured financial asset are considered in the calculation of the cash deficits of the existing asset. |
| – | If the restructuring results in the derecognition of the existing asset, then, the expected fair value of the new asset is considered as the final cash flow from the existing financial asset at the time of its derecognition. |
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting year end, the Group 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, |
|
| - 27 - |
| – | 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. |
It may not be possible to identify a single discrete event. Instead, the combined effect of multiple events may cause financial assets to become credit-impaired.
The definition of impaired financial assets within the Group aligns with the default definition explained earlier.
Significant Increase in Credit Risk
The purpose of impairment requirements is to recognize ECLs for financial instruments for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, considering all reasonable and documented information, including that information which is forward-looking.
The model developed by the Group to assess the significant increase in credit risk has a dual focus:
| – | Quantitative Criterion: The Group employs a quantitative analysis based on comparing the current expected probability of default over the life of the transaction with the adjusted original expected probability of default, ensuring both values are comparable in terms of expected probability of default for their residual life. The thresholds used to consider a significant increase in risk take into account special cases based on geographic areas and portfolios. Depending on the age of the existing transactions at the time of standard implementation, some simplification is made to compare default probabilities between the current and original timeframes, based on the best available information at that time. |
| – | Qualitative Criterion: Most indicators for detecting significant increases in risk are included in the Group's systems through rating/scoring systems or macroeconomic scenarios, thus the quantitative analysis covers most circumstances. The Group will use additional qualitative criteria when it deems it necessary to include circumstances not reflected in the rating/scoring systems or macroeconomic scenarios used. |
Additionally, instruments meeting any of the following main circumstances are classified as Stage 2 (Qualitative Criterion):
| – | Over 30 days past due. However, this presumption may be rebutted in cases where the Group, based on reasonable and documented information, considers that such default does not represent a significant increase in risk. The Group has not considered periods exceeding 30 days for any of the significant portfolios. |
| – | Watchlist: These are subject to special monitoring by Risk units due to negative signs in their credit quality, even if there is no objective evidence of impairment. |
| – | Refinancing or restructuring that does not show evidence of impairment. |
Method for calculating ECLs
The measurement of ECLs should reflect:
| – | An amount that is considered fair and unbiased, determined by evaluating a variety of possible outcomes. |
| – | The time value of money. |
| – | Reasonable and documented information that is available at no cost or undue effort and that reflects current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. |
The Group measures ECLs both individually and collectively.
|
| - 28 - |
For significantly impaired instruments, the amount of credit losses is calculated as the difference between the expected discounted cash flows at the effective interest rate of the transaction and the carrying amount of the instrument.
To determine which and how many clients need to be analyzed individually, the Group adopts the criterion defined by BBVA Group, which is a relative weight in terms of total risk over the total delinquency risk of the wholesale exposure and, in terms of total risk, over the total risk Watchlist of the wholesale exposure.
The scope of individual analysis is defined with the following criteria to analyze all clients with at least one asset past due and with total risk above the local threshold (200,000) or with at least one asset on the Watchlist with total risk above the local threshold (900,000), namely:
a) Stage 3 and Total Risk > 200,000;
b) Stage 2, Watchlist, and Total Risk > 900,000.
Threshold for Default Exposure: The threshold is set in such a way that clients with total risk above this threshold are individually assessed for at least 40% of the total default risk of the wholesale portfolio.
Threshold for Watchlist Exposure: The threshold is set in such a way that clients with total risk above this threshold are individually assessed for at least 20% of the total risk of the wholesale portfolio on the Watchlist.
For the collective measurement of expected losses, instruments are grouped into asset pools based on their risk characteristics. Exposure within each group is segmented according to common credit risk characteristics, which are indicative of the borrower's repayment ability in accordance with their contractual conditions. These risk characteristics must be relevant in estimating the future cash flows of each group. Credit risk characteristics may include, among others, the following factors:
| – | Type of instrument. |
| – | Rating or scoring tools. |
| – | Type of collateral. |
| – | Time period in default for Stage 3. |
| – | Segment. |
| – | Qualitative criteria that may signify a significant increase in risk. |
ECLs are derived from the following parameters:
| – | Probability of Default (PD): Estimate of the likelihood of default within a specified timeframe. |
| – | Exposure at Default (EAD): Estimate of exposure in the event of default in each future period, considering changes in exposure after the financial statements' filing date. |
| – | Loss Given Default (LGD): Estimate of loss in the event of default, calculated as the difference between contractual cash flows and receivables, including collateral. |
| – | Credit Conversion Factor (CCF): Estimate made on off-balance sheet balances to determine exposure subject to credit risk in the event of default. The Entity discloses in “Additional information on the credit quality of assets” in Note 44 the estimate of credit risk exposure determined on the basis of the balances of credit commitments and financial guarantees. |
|

Use of present, past, and future information.
ECLs require the integration of present, past, and future information to detect any significant increase in risk and measure the expected loss.
ECLs does not require the identification of all possible scenarios to measure the expected loss. However, it is also necessary to consider the probability of a loss event occurring and the probability of it not occurring, even if the likelihood of a loss may be very small. Additionally, when there is no linear relationship between the different future economic scenarios and their associated expected losses, more than one future economic scenario should be used for measurement.
The approach employed by the Group involves initially using the most probable scenario (base scenario) consistent with that used in the Group's internal management processes, and then applying an additional adjustment calculated by considering the weighted average of expected losses in other economic scenarios (a more positive and a more negative one). This adjustment is applied every six months, and the macro model is calibrated at least once a year. The primary macroeconomic variable in each of the scenarios is the Gross Domestic Product ("GDP").
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. |
| – | Loan commitments and financial guarantees contracts: recognized under the line Provision for contingent commitments under liabilities, 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. |
Measurement of expected credit losses (ECL)
The ECL of a financial instrument shall be measured in a way that reflects an unbiased estimate, the time value of money and a forward-looking perspective (including the economic forecast).
Therefore, the recognition and measurement of ECL is highly complex and involves the use of significant analysis and estimation including formulation and incorporation of forward-looking economic conditions into ECL.
Risk parameters adjusted by macroeconomic scenarios
ECL must include forward-looking macroeconomic information. The Group uses the credit risk parameters probability of default (PD), loss-given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) in order to calculate the ECL for the credit portfolios.
The Group´s methodological approach in order to incorporate the forward-looking information aims to determine the relation between macroeconomic variables and risk parameters following three main steps:
| – | Step 1: Analysis and transformation of time series data. |
| – | Step 2: For each dependent variable, find conditional forecasting models that are economically consistent. |
| – | Step 3: Select the best conditional forecasting model from the set of candidates defined in Step 2, based on their out of sample forecasting performance. |
|
| - 30 - |
How economic scenarios are reflected in calculation of ECL
Based on economic theory and analysis, the macroeconomic variables most directly relevant for explaining and forecasting the selected risk parameters are:
| – | The net income of families, corporations or public administrations. |
| – | The payment amounts on outstanding loans’ principal and interest. |
The Group approximates these variables by using a proxy indicator from the set included in the macroeconomic scenarios provided by the economic research department.
Only a single specific indicator for each of the two variables can be used, and only core macroeconomic indicators should be selected as first choice: for a) using Real GDP Growth can be seen as the single sufficient “factor” required for capturing the influence of all potentially relevant macro-financial scenario on internal PDs; for b) using the most representative short term interest rate or exchange rates expressed in real terms.
Real GDP growth is given priority over any other indicator not only because it is the most comprehensive indicator of income and economic activity, but also because it is the central variable in the generation of macroeconomic scenarios.
Multiple scenario approach under IFRS 9
IFRS 9 requires calculating an unbiased probability weighted measurement of ECL by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, including forecasts of future economic conditions.
The BBVA Research team produces forecasts of macroeconomic variables under a baseline scenario, which are used in the rest of the related processes of the Group, such as budgeting, the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), risk appetite framework and stress testing.
Additionally, the BBVA Research team produces alternative scenarios to the baseline scenario so as to meet the requirements under the IFRS 9 standard.
Alternative macroeconomic scenarios
For each of the macroeconomic variables (GDP or interest rate or exchange rate), the BBVA Research team produces three scenarios.
Each of these scenarios corresponds to the expected value of a different area of the probabilistic distribution of the possible projections of the economic variables.
The approach of the Group consists in using the scenario that is the most likely scenario, which is the baseline scenario, consistent with the rest of internal processes (ICAAP, Budgeting) and then applying upside and downside scenarios by taking into account the weighted average of the ECL determined by each of the scenarios.
It is important to note that, in general, it is expected that the effect of the adjustment due to the application of multiple scenarios will increase the ECL. It is possible that the referred adjustment does not have that effect, whenever the relationship between macro scenarios and losses is linear, however, it is not expected to reduce the ECL.
h) Writte-off
Loans and debt securities are written off (either partially or in full) when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. This assessment is carried out at the individual asset level.
|
| - 31 - |
Recoveries of amounts previously written off are included in the "impairment of financial assets" in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Financial assets that have been written off may still be subject to enforcement activities to comply with the Group's procedures for recovering outstanding amounts.
i) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and their net amount is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if, and only if, the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognized and the intention to settle them on a net basis, or the intention to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Revenues and expenses are disclosed on a net basis only to the extent permitted by the IFRS, or otherwise to reflect profits or losses arising from a group of similar transactions.
2.3.5. 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 or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as per the business model elected for each case.
2.3.6. Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Group has a significant influence but no control or joint control over financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. A joint venture is an agreement whereby the Group has joint control, that is to say, the Group has a right over the net assets, rather than over the assets and liabilities, of the agreement.
Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share in the profit or loss and OCI of investments accounted for using the equity method, until the date when the significant influence or joint control cease.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate accounted for under the equity method, the carrying amount of such interest, including long-term investments, is written down to zero, without recognizing additional losses, except to the extent the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Business combinations
A business combination is a transaction, or any other deal, by which the Group obtains control over one or more businesses, accounting for by applying the “acquisition method”.
According to this method, the acquirer has to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, including those that the acquired entity had not accounted for. The method involves the measurement of the consideration paid or delivered for the business combination and its allocation to the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities measured according to their fair value, at the acquisition date, as well as the recognition of any non-controlling participation (minority interests) that may arise from the transaction.
The acquirer shall recognize an asset in the consolidated balance sheet under the heading “Intangible assets - Goodwill” if on the acquisition date there is a positive difference between:
| – | the sum of the consideration paid, the amount of all the minority interests and the fair value of the stock previously held in the acquired business; and |
|
| - 32 - |
| – | the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. |
Goodwill is initially measured at cost (the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for the non-controlling interest and any previously held interest over the net identifiable value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities). After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses in accordance with item 2.3.12, Impairment of non-financial assets.
If the difference is negative, that is, if the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities exceeds the sum of the consideration given, the Entity shall reassess whether it has correctly identified all the acquired assets and all the assumed liabilities and shall review the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the sum of the consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss (“Shared of profit or loss of entities accounted using the equity method”).
In accordance with IFRS 3, in each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree may be measured in one of two ways: (i) at fair value at the acquisition date or (ii) at the amount representing the minority proportionate interest in the acquiree's identifiable net assets measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The BBVA Group has always opted for the second method.
2.3.7. Property and equipment
Property and equipment items are measured at restated cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost includes the spot purchase price and expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating as intended by Management.
As of the transition date to IFRS, January 1, 2017, the Group considered the fair value of its real properties as of such date determined through technical appraisals as their attributed cost.
If significant parts of a property and equipment item have different useful lives, such parts are recognized as separate items (main components) of property and equipment.
Gains or losses from the disposal of a property and equipment item are carried at net amounts under Other income in the Statement of Income.
Subsequent expenses are only capitalized if they are likely to provide future economic benefits for the Group. Repairs and maintenance in progress are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method during the estimated useful lives of the assets and is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income under “Asset depreciation and impairment.” The estimated useful lives of significant property and equipment items are as follows:
| - | Buildings: as reported in the technical appraisal corresponding to each building |
| - | Furniture and facilities: 10 years |
| - | Equipment: 3-5 years |
| - | Vehicles: 5 years |
Depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if necessary.
As a non-monetary asset, this item was adjusted for inflation.
2.3.8. Leases
IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model, requiring that lessees recognize a right of use of the leased asset and a lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments. The Entity has opted to apply the exceptions related to the recognition of short-term leases and leases where the underlying asset is of low value.
|
| - 33 - |
As to the lessor's accounting, and according to IFRS 16, lessors continue classifying leases as operating or finance, and each of them is recognized differently.
The Group recognizes the right of use as an asset and the lease liability as a liability, mainly related to the leases of offices in its branch network (Note 25).
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Entity has not entered into agreements related to variable lease payments. As of such date, there are no leases that have not yet commenced, pursuant to which the Entity has undertaken commitments, and which enter into force in subsequent years.
Below is a detail of the related accounting policies:
Contracts that contain a lease
At the contract inception, the Group evaluates whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, at lease inception, it determines whether it is a finance or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Group evaluates if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease, otherwise, it is an operating lease.
In a finance lease, the leased asset is derecognized and recognized as a receivable for an amount equivalent to the net investment in the lease under “Loans and other financing.”
Lease payments included in the measurement of the net investment are as follows:
| – | Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; |
| – | Variable lease payments, which depend on a rate or index, initially measured using the rate or index as at the lease commencement date; |
| – | Any amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; |
| – | The exercise price under purchase options, if it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised; |
| – | Any penalties for early termination, if it is reasonably certain that the contract will be early terminated. |
Collections received under a finance lease are broken down into interest and the reduction of the net investment in the lease. Interest is recognized over the lease term applying an effective interest rate. Contingent leases are not considered in determining the net investment in the lease.
In an operating lease, the leased asset (generally investment properties) is not derecognized, and the collection received is recognized as revenues applying the straight line method.
As a lessee
The Group recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle or restore the underlying asset, less any incentives received.
|
| - 34 - |
The right of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the expiration of the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
| – | Fixed payments, including fixed payments in kind; |
| – | Variable lease payments, which depend on a rate or index, initially measured using the rate or index as at the lease commencement date; |
| – | Any amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantee; |
| – | The exercise price under a purchase options, if it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised; |
| – | Any amounts expected to be payable for renewal periods if it is reasonably certain that the extension options will be exercised; and |
| – | Any penalties for early termination, if it is reasonably certain that the contract will be early terminated. |
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in a rate or index, if there is a change in the Group´s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or early termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the relevant adjustment is made to the right of use asset.
US dollar-denominated lease liabilities are converted into functional currency at the spot exchange rate as of the reporting date. Exchange gains or losses resulting from conversion are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense, on a straight-line basis during the lease term.
2.3.9. Intangible assets
Intangible assets include the information systems restated costs of acquisition and implementation, which are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairments, if any.
Subsequent disbursements related to information systems are only capitalized if the economic benefits of the related asset increase. All other expenses are recognized as a loss as incurred.
Information systems are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 5 years, and their amortization is recognized in “Asset depreciation and impairment” in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Amortization methods, as well as the useful life assigned are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if applicable.
As a non-monetary asset, this item was adjusted for inflation.
|
| - 35 - |
2.3.10. Other non-financial assets
Investment properties
Investment properties are measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost includes the spot purchase price and expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating as intended by Management.
As of the date of IFRS transition, January 1, 2017, the Group considered as attributed cost of its real property the fair value as of such date determined by means of technical appraisals.
Any gain or loss from the disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between net revenues from the disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit or loss.
When the use of a given property changes such that it is reclassified to property and equipment, its fair value as of the reclassification date becomes the cost at which the asset will be subsequently recognized.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method during the estimated useful lives of the assets and is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income under “Depreciation and impairment.”
Depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if necessary.
As a non-monetary asset, this item was adjusted for inflation.
For the purposes of the depreciation calculation, the guidelines described in 2.3.7. are followed.
Assets acquired as security for loans
Assets acquired as security for loans are measured at fair value at the date on which the Entity becomes the owner thereof, and any differences with the accounting balance of the related loan are recognized in profit or loss. The subsequent valuation will be based on the acquired asset.
Rest of other nonfinancial assets
Other nonfinancial assets (prepaid expenses, advances to employees, tax prepayments, prepayments for the purchase of goods, etc.) are booked when the right to collect or receive consideration is earned and are valued at amortized cost less impairment losses.
2.3.11. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale, if it is highly likely that they will be recovered, mainly through their sale, which is estimated to occur within 12 months following the date of their classification as such.
These assets or group of assets are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less the cost of disposal. As non-monetary assets, this item was updated to reflect inflation adjustments.
When a property and equipment item is classified as “non-current assets held for sale,” depreciation is no longer applied.
2.3.12. Impairment of non-financial assets
At least at each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are indications that a non-financial asset may be impaired (except deferred tax assets). If there is such an indication, the asset's recoverable value is estimated.
For the impairment test, assets are grouped into the smallest group of assets generating cash inflows from their continuous use, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or other cash generating units (CGU).
|
| - 36 - |
The “recoverable value” of an asset or CGU is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less the cost of sale. The “value in use” is based on estimated cash flows, discounted at their present value using the pre-tax interest rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
If the accounting balance of an asset (or CGU) is higher than its recoverable value, the asset (or CGU), is considered impaired and its carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable value and the difference is recognized in profit or loss.
Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent the accounting value of the assets does not exceed the value they would have had if the impairment had not been recognized.
2.3.13. Provisions
The Group recognizes a provision if, as a result of a past event, there is a legal or implied obligation for an amount that can be reliably estimated and it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle such obligation.
To assess provisions, the existing risks and uncertainties were considered, taking into consideration the opinion of the Group's external and/or internal legal advisors. Based on the analysis carried out, the Group recognizes a provision for the amount considered as the best estimate of the potential expense necessary to settle the present obligation at each year-end date.
The provisions recognized by the Group are reviewed at each year-end date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate available.
2.3.14. Personnel benefits
a) Short-term personnel benefits
Short-term personnel benefits are recognized in profit or loss when the employee provides the related service. A provision is recognized if the Group has the legal or implied obligation as a result of past services provided by the employee, to pay an amount that can be reliably estimated.
b) Other long-term personnel benefits
The Group's obligation in relation to long-term personnel benefits is equivalent to the amount of the future benefit the employees have earned in exchange for services provided during the reporting and prior years. The benefit is discounted at present value. Changes in the measurement of the obligation are recognized in profit or loss.
c) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are accounted for as an expense at the earlier of the following dates: when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes restructuring costs. If benefits are not expected to be settled in full within the 12 months subsequent to the reporting date, then such benefits are discounted.
2.3.15. Share Capital and capital adjustments
The “Share Capital” is exposed at its nominal value, in accordance with regulations in force, and the difference with its restated amount is presented in the supplementary account “Capital adjustments”.
Incremental transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction in the contributions received, net of the related income tax.
|
| - 37 - |
2.3.16. Interest income and expenses
Interest income and expenses are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate whereby the contractual payment and collection cash flows are discounted during the expected lifetime of the financial instrument at the book value of the financial asset or liability.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes transaction costs, commissions and other items paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of a financial asset or the issuance of a financial liability.
The “amortized cost” of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus cumulative amortization, using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the amount at maturity and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit loss provision.
The “gross carrying amount of a financial asset” is the amortized cost of a financial asset before adjustments to reflect the expected credit loss provision.
In calculating interest income and expenses, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit impaired) or to the amortized cost of the liability.
However, for credit-impaired financial assets after initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit impaired, then interest income is again calculated on a gross basis.
Interest income and expenses presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income include interest on:
| – | financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost; and |
| – | financial assets measured at fair value through OCI. |
2.3.17. Commission income and expenses
This item includes commission income from transactions with customers, primarily related to maintenance and administration commissions in respect of checking accounts, savings accounts, credit cards, custody of securities and exchange transactions.
Commissions, fees and similar items that are part of a financial asset or liability's effective interest rate are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.
The breakdown of commission income and expenses is presented in Notes 30 and 31 to these financial statements.
All other commission income items are recognized when the related services are rendered:
| - | at a certain moment (in connection with service fees, mutual funds management fees, sales commissions and loan syndication fees), or |
| - | during the period of the performance obligation (in connection with annual commissions for credit cards, issuance of financial guarantees). |
Commission expenses are recognized in income or loss when the related service is received.
2.3.18. Current and deferred income tax
Income tax expense for each period includes the current income tax and deferred income tax and is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to an item recognized in OCI or directly in shareholders’ equity.
|
| - 38 - |
a) Current tax
Current income tax includes the income tax payable, or advances made during the year and any adjustment payable or receivable related to previous years. The amount of the current tax payable (or to be recovered) is the best estimate of the amount that is expected to be paid (or to be recovered) measured at the applicable rate at the year-end date.
b) Deferred tax
Deferred income tax recognizes the tax effect of temporary differences between the accounting balances of the assets and liabilities and the related tax bases used to assess taxable income.
Deferred tax is not recognized on:
| – | Temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction other than a business combination and which does not affect either the accounting or the taxable profit or loss. |
| – | Temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, to the extent it is probable that the reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future; and |
| – | Taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. |
A deferred tax liability is recognized for the tax effect of all taxable temporary differences.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for the tax effect of unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences, insofar as it is likely that future taxable income will be generated against which such temporary differences can be applied. Future taxable income is determined on the basis of the Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ business plans. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each year-end date, and are reduced to the extent the associated tax benefits are no longer expected to be realized. Such reductions are reversed as future taxable income is more likely to be generated.
Deferred tax assets that have not been recognized will be reassessed at each year-end date and will be recognized insofar as it is likely that the Entity will have future taxable income against which such assets can be applied.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to be applied upon reversal of the temporary differences, using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates at year-end.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences of the manner in which the Group expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities at year-end.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities can be offset only if certain criteria are met.
2.3.19. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group engaged in business activities from which it can generate revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with any other components of the Group. The operating results of these segments are periodically reviewed by the highest operational decision-making authority to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Discrete financial information is available for such segment. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group has determined that it has only one reportable segment related to banking activities.
2.3.20. Customer Loyalty Program
The loyalty program offered by the Bank involves accumulating points generated from purchases made with credit cards, which may be exchanged for any available reward on the program platform.
While the program is managed by the Bank, it has concluded that it is acting as an agent in relation to the points and consequently, the allocated transaction price consists only of the commission on the amounts paid to the principal.
The Bank concluded that the rewards to be granted create a separate performance obligation. Therefore, at the end of each fiscal year, the Bank recognized a provision for the rewards to be granted under the item "Other Liabilities."

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 year.
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.
2.4.1. Judgments
The information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is described in Note 2.2. Determination of the “Basis of consolidation” regarding the existence of control of other entities and Note 2.3. “Significant accounting policies” under the following headings:
| – | Note 2.3.4. b) “Classification of financial assets” |
| – | Note 2.3.4. g) “Impairment of financial assets” |
| – | Note 2.3.8. “Leases” - “Contracts that contain a lease” |
| – | Note 2.3.12. “Impairment of non-financial assets” |
2.4.2. Assumptions and estimations of uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation of uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to these consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:
| – | Note 2.3.4. g) “Impairment of financial assets” – “Measurement of Expected Credit Losses (ECL)” regarding impairment of financial assets: establishing the criteria for determining whether credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, determining the methodology for incorporating forward-looking information into the measurement of ECL and selection and approval of models used to measure ECL. |
| – | Note 2.3.6. “Investments in associates and joint ventures” related to business combination accounting policy and the estimates and methodology for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities of FCA Compañía Financiera S.A. |
| – | Note 11 – “Income tax,” regarding availability of future taxable profit against which deferred tax assets may be realized and the effect of the final resolution of uncertain tax positions. |
| – | Note 23 – “Provisions” egarding the likelihood, timing and amount of outflow of resources. |
| – | Note 41.3. “Level 2 and 3 valuation techniques” regarding measurement of the fair value of financial instruments with observable and unobservable inputs, respectively. |
2.4.3. Measurements at fair value
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.
|
| - 40 - |
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 fair value is calculated considering the latest market price plus interest accrued until the valuation date (whichever is more representative for the security).
In line with the accounting standard, a three-level classification of financial instruments is established. This classification is mainly based on the observability of the necessary inputs to calculate that fair value, defining the following levels:
| – | Level 1: Financial instruments measured using 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: The estimated amount of such claims is 66,150, out of which a cash disbursement of approximately 3,446 is expected for the next 3 months. Financial instruments without an active market, but that may be measured through observable market inputs. Observable market inputs shall mean as such assets traded in markets that allow to calculate an interest rate curve or determine a credit spread. |
| – | Level 3: Measurement using models based on variables not obtained from observable market inputs. |
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 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. These amendments have no effect on the financial statements.
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.
|
| - 41 - |
The standards and interpretations applicable to the Entity, issued but ineffective as of the date of these consolidated 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 that this standard will 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:
| · | Clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the “settlement date,” i.e., when the related obligation is fulfilled, cancelled, expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. It also introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date if certain conditions are met. |
| · | Clarify how to assess contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG) and other similar contingent characteristics. |
| · | Clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments. |
| · | Require additional disclosures for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that refer to a contingent event (including those that are linked to ESG) and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. |
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:
| · | IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - Hedge Accounting by a first-time adopter. |
| · | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures about gain or loss on derecognition, deferred difference between fair value and transaction price, and disclosures about credit risk; amendments are also made to paragraph IG1 of the Implementation Guidance. |
| · | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Derecognition of lease liabilities by the lessee. However, the amendment does not address how a lessee distinguishes between a lease modification as defined in IFRS 16 and an extinguishment of a lease liability in accordance with IFRS 9. |
| · | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Transaction Price: paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 has been amended to replace the reference to “transaction price as defined by IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers” with “the amount determined by applying IFRS 15”. |
| · | IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements - Determination of a “de facto agent”: paragraph B74 of IFRS 10 has been amended to clarify that the relationship described in paragraph B74 is only one example of the various relationships that could exist between the investor and other parties acting as de facto agents of the investor. |
| · | IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows - Cost Method: paragraph 37 of IAS 7 has been amended to replace the term “cost method” with “at cost”, following the previous deletion of the definition of “cost method”. |
|
| - 42 - |
These amendments are effective from January 1, 2026. The Entity is evaluating the effects these amendments may have on the financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Power Purchase Agreements
In December 2024, the IASB issued amendments regarding nature-dependent electricity contracts, which include:
– Clarify the application of the “own use” requirements.
– Permit hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments.
– Add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows.
The clarifications regarding the “own use” requirements must be applied retrospectively, whereas the guidance permitting hedge accounting must be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated on or after the initial application date.
These amendments are effective from January 1, 2026. The Entity is evaluating the effects these amendments may have on the financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 21 – Translation into a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency
In November 2025, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 requiring the conversion of a non-hyperinflationary functional currency to a hyperinflationary presentation currency at the closing exchange rate.
If an entity’s functional currency is the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, but its presentation currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, its results and financial position are translated into the presentation currency by converting all amounts (i.e., assets, liabilities, equity items, income, and expenses) and all comparative data at the closing exchange rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. An entity whose functional and presentation currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy restates the comparative amounts of a foreign operation whose functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy by applying the general price index, in accordance with paragraph 34 of IAS 29, to the comparative figures of the foreign operation.
The amendments also introduce certain additional disclosure requirements.
These amendments are effective as of January 1, 2027. The Entity is currently evaluating the impact that of these amendments on its financial statements.

Law No. 27,430 of Tax Reform, as amended by Laws 27,468 and 27,541, sets forth the following as regards the inflation adjustment for tax purposes, effective for fiscal years started on or after January 1, 2018:
| i. | Such adjustment will be applicable in the tax year in which the percentage variation of the general consumer price index at national level (CPI) exceeds 100% in the thirty-six months prior to the end of the reporting fiscal year; |
| ii. | Regarding the first, second and third fiscal years as from January 1, 2018, the procedure will be applicable in the event that the variation of such index, calculated from the beginning and until the closing of each of those fiscal years, exceeds 55%, 30% and 15% for the first, second and third years of application, respectively; |
| iii. | The effect of the positive or negative inflation adjustment for tax purposes, as the case may be, corresponding to the first, second and third fiscal years started on or after January 1, 2018, is charged one third in that tax period and the remaining two thirds, in equal parts, in the two immediately following tax periods; |
| iv. | The effect of the positive or negative inflation adjustment corresponding to the first and second tax years starting on or after January 1, 2019, is charged one-sixth in the tax year in which the adjustment is determined and the remaining five-sixths in the immediately following tax periods; and |
| v. | For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, 100% of the adjustment may be deducted in the year in which it is determined. |
As of December 31, 2025, the parameters established by the income tax law to apply the inflation adjustment for tax purposes are met and the effects arising from the application of such adjustment as provided by law have been included when booking current and deferred income tax.
11.6. Income tax corporate rate:
Law No. 27,630, enacted on June 16, 2021 through Decree No. 387/2021, set forth for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2021, a tax rate scale scheme of 25%, 30% and 35% to be progressively applied according to the level of taxable net income accumulated as of each fiscal year end. In these financial statements, the Entity and its subsidiaries have determined current income tax using the tax rate applicable to the total expected income for the year, while deferred income tax balances were measured using the progressive tax rate that is expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are reversed.

11.7. Other tax matters
- Request for refund. Fiscal year 2019
As concerns fiscal year 2019, the Entity assessed its income tax liability applying the inflation adjustment for tax purposes according to the terms of the Public Emergency Law, which maintains the inflation adjustment mechanism set out under Title VI of the Income Tax Law. Nevertheless, one sixth of the resulting inflation adjustment amount should be recognized during that fiscal year, with the remaining five sixths being computed, in equal parts, over the five immediately following fiscal years. Such deferral has been recognized as a deferred tax asset.
On August 21, 2020, the Bank filed a request for refund at the administrative stage pursuant to the provisions of the first paragraph of section 81 of Law No. 11,683 (as compiled in 1998 and as amended) to recover the amount of 4,528,453 (in nominal values).
Upon no response from the tax authorities, on June 17, 2021 the Entity filed a motion for expedited proceedings and on November 18, 2021 a legal action was filed before National Court on Federal Administrative Matters No. 10 (Court Clerk’s Office No. 24).
On February 7, 2025, a favorable judgment was rendered in favor of the Entity, upholding the claim and admitting the refund of the amounts paid in excess. This judgment was appealed.
Pursuant to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA, the Entity does not book assets in relation to contingent assets derived from the action filed.
- Inflation adjustment for tax purposes. Fiscal year 2020
In relation to fiscal year 2020, the Entity determined the income tax as of December 31, 2020 by applying the inflation adjustment for tax purposes in accordance with the provisions of the Public Emergency Law.
On May 26, 2021, and based on related case law, the Entity’s Board of Directors approved the filing of an action against AFIP for declaratory judgment of unconstitutionality of section 194 of the Income Tax Law (as compiled in 2019) and/or of such rules that prohibit the full application of the inflation adjustment for tax purposes, on the grounds that they would lead to the assessment of a confiscatory income tax liability for fiscal year 2020; therefore allowing the full application of the mechanism set forth in section 106, paragraphs a) through e), Title VI of the Income Tax Law in that fiscal year.
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 (148,935,123 in restated values), with the ensuing impact on deferred tax assets by 5,033,000 (decrease) (132,010,188 in restated values) and on the income tax expense of 784,000 (16,924,947 in restated values).
On August 15, 2023, a trial court decision sustaining the claim filed by the Bank was issued. On August 22, 2023, the Bank filed an appeal against the imposition of legal costs, requiring that they be imposed on the losing party. On August 23, 2023, AFIP appealed the merits of the case, requiring the revocation of the judgment.

| - 56 - |
On July 1, 2024, the Court rejected the AFIP’s claims on the merits and resolved to impose court costs on AFIP in both instances. AFIP filed an extraordinary appeal against the favorable judgment for the Bank, which was also rejected.
On April 16, 2025, the Court decided to deny the extraordinary appeal filed by AFIP. Consequently, on April 25, 2025, AFIP filed an appeal with the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice.
- Request for refund. Fiscal year 2021
On June 30, 2022, the Bank filed a prior administrative claim before the AFIP in order to obtain the recognition of the corrective tax return in less filed on June 30, 2022 with respect to the Income Tax for the 2021 tax year for 309,000 (in nominal values), on the grounds that the partial application of the correction mechanisms of the inflation adjustment under the provisions of Section 93 of the Income Tax Law is unconstitutional, since it affects the principle of reasonableness, equality, contributive capacity and confiscatory nature.
On June 6, 2023, a prompt resolution was requested. In view of the AFIP's silence, on September 20, 2023, a claim was filed before the Federal Court on Contentious Administrative Matters No. 1, Clerks’ Office No. 1.
- Inflation adjustment for tax purposes. Fiscal year 2022
On June 2, 2023, the Bank filed an unconstitutionality action against the AFIP to obtain a ruling declaring the unconstitutionality of section 93 of Income Tax Law (as revised in 2019) or other regulations preventing the comprehensive application of the tax adjustment for inflation, as it leads to a confiscatory income tax assessment for 2022 and, consequently, allows for the comprehensive adoption of the cost and amortization adjustment method provided for by sections 62 through 66, 71, 87 and 88 of Income Tax Law. The action is pending before the Federal Court on Contentious Administrative Matters No. 9.
On October 28, 2025, judgment was passed dismissing the declaratory action for procedural reasons, issuing no resolution on the substance of the matter. Such judgment will be appealed.
- Request for refund. Fiscal year 2023
On September 13, 2024, the Bank filed an administrative claim with the AFIP requesting that the amending tax return filed on May 13, 2024, in connection with income tax for the 2023 tax year amounting to 2,491,499 (in nominal terms) be recognized. The claim was grounded on the fact that the partial application of the adjustment for inflation mechanisms under section 93, Income Tax Law, is unconstitutional because it affects the fairness, equality, tax-paying capacity and confiscation principles.
- Requests for refund. Fiscal years 2014 and 2015
Regarding fiscal years 2014 and 2015, the Entity assessed income tax without applying the inflation adjustment for tax purposes, consequently a higher tax was paid in the amounts of 647,945 and 555,002, respectively, in nominal values, based on grounds similar to those stated in the first paragraph “Inflation Adjustment for Tax Purposes. Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020”.
In the judicial case of the repetition corresponding to the fiscal period 2014, on July 12, 2023, the Entity was notified of the judgment issued by the Supreme Court of Justice, by which the extraordinary appeal and the complaint filed by the Treasury were rejected. In this way, the favorable judgments of the previous instances that recognized the Bank the repetition of 647,946 (in nominal values) for said period plus interest until effective payment become final.
Then, on November 19, 2024, the Court approved the liquidation of 647,945 (in nominal values) plus 2,226,229 (in nominal values) corresponding to accrued interest from the filing of the request for repetition until September 23, 2024 (in nominal values) calculated according to the average monthly passive rate published by the BCRA and as of July 17, 2019, the effective monthly rate published by the AFIP applies, in compliance with Resolution MH 598/19, 559/2022 and 3/2024. Without prejudice to the interest that will continue to accrue until the payment date.

As a result of the abovementioned favorable decisions by the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice and the collection of one of such cases, the Bank booked a receivable of 3,036,372 restated as of December 31, 2025.
In turn, on April 4, 2017, a request for refund was filed in relation to the higher amount of tax paid for fiscal year 2015. Likewise, on December 29, 2017, the related judicial action was filed for this fiscal year.
On June 28, 2022, the Federal Appellate Court on Administrative Matters (Courtroom VII) rendered judgment in favor of the Bank as regards the recovery of the income tax for tax period 2015 and AFIP appealed such judgment.
On October 25, 2023, the Appellate Court rendered favorable judgment in the case relating to the request for refund of the Income Tax due to the application of the tax inflation adjustment in 2015, confirming the first instance judgment.
On July 10, 2025, the Court decided to dismiss the extraordinary appeal filed by AFIP and upheld the Bank’s appeal as regards the rate applicable to the claim and the refund procedure.
On July 17, 2025, the AFIP filed a petition for denied appeal against the resolution that rejected its extraordinary appeal. The file is pending with the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice.
On October 25, 2024, through Presidential Decree No. 953/2024, the Federal Executive established that the AFIP be dissolved and the ARCA (Revenue and Customs Control Agency) be created.

In the opinion of the Group’s Management and its legal advisors, there are no significant effects other than those stated in these consolidated financial statements, the amounts and repayment terms of which have been recorded based on the current value of those estimates, considering the probable date of their final resolution.
Contingent liabilities have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements and are related to 243 claims brought against the Bank, including civil and commercial claims, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The estimated amount of such claims is 63,818, out of which a potential or possible cash disbursement of approximately 22,311 is expected for the next 12 months. These claims are primarily related to lease-purchase agreements and petitions to secure evidence. The Group's Management and legal advisors consider that the probability that these cases involve cash disbursements is possible but not probable and that the potential cash disbursements are not material.

Financial assets at fair value consist of Argentine Treasury Bonds, Argentine Treasury Bills, BCRA Bonds, private debt securities (corporate bonds), shares and mutual funds. Likewise, financial derivatives are classified at fair value. Such derivatives include futures measured at the price of the market where they are traded (A3), foreign currency NDF (non-delivery forwards) and interest rate swaps.
41.2. Transfers between hierarchy levels
The Entity monitors the availability of market information in order to assess the category of financial instruments in the different hierarchies at fair value, as well as the resulting determination of inter-level transfers at each closing, considering the comparison of hierarchy levels of the current year versus previous year levels.
41.2.1. Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2
The following instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss or through OCI were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy:
| 12.31.25 | 12.31.24 | |||
| Corporate bond John Deere Credit Cia Financiera S.A. Series X US$. Maturity 03-08-2026 | 1,475,644 | - | ||

41.2.2. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1
The following instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss or through OCI were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy:
| 12.31.25 | 12.31.24 | |||
| Corporate Bond Luz De Tres Picos 4 in US dollars. Maturity 09-29-2026 | 4,408,514 | - | ||

| Corporate Bond Petroquímica Comodoro Rivadavia Series O in US dollars. Maturity 09-22-2027 | 1,559,462 | - |
The hierarchy level of the instruments detailed above was compared with the previous year levels.
The transfer is due to the fact that the bonds and corporate bonds were listed on the market the number of days necessary to be considered Level 1.
41.3. Valuation techniques for Levels 2 and 3
The valuation techniques used for Level 2 securities require observable market data: the spot discount curve in pesos, the spot discount curve in US dollars, the discount curves of corporate bonds in US dollars (one of the energy sector and the other of several industries), the discount curve of Dollar-linked corporate bonds, CER discount curve, the yield curve in pesos arising from ROFEX futures, the yield curve in pesos arising from futures traded by ICAP Broker, the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) international dollar curve, the yield curve in euros, Badlar rate, TAMAR rate, UVA index, CER index and the spot selling exchange rates published by Banco de la Nación Argentina (BNA) and the 3500 dollar. Below is a detail of valuation techniques for each financial product:
Fixed Income
The determination of fair value pricing established by the Bank for fixed income consists in considering the representative market prices from A3 Mercados S.A. (formerly, Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A.) as the primary source and BYMA as the secondary source for quotes from the last business day at the end of the month. This criteria adjustment aims to ensure that the month-end amount reflects a valuation more accurately aligned with the market value.
The pricing process with these hierarchies is maintained over the last 10 business days, prioritizing the price from A3 Mercados S.A. and then the price from BYMA according to timeliness. For example, a quote in BYMA on T-1 is considered above a quote in A3 Mercados S.A. on T-2.
For Argentine Treasury bonds and bills, if the bonds have not traded for the last 10 business days in A3 or BYMA, fair value is determined by discounting cash flows using the pertinent discount curve.
Corporate Bonds in US dollars, if bonds have not traded for the last 10 business days in A3 Mercados S.A. or BYMA, they are valued at the present value of the future cash flows with the discount curve that corresponds to the type of industry or sector. The same criteria applies to the case of Corporate Bonds that are Dollar Link, except that in this case the discount curve used is the dollar linked curve.
SWAPS
For swaps, the theoretical valuation consists in discounting future cash flows using the interest rate, according to the curve estimated on the basis of fixed-rate peso-denominated bonds and bills issued by the Argentine Government.
|
| - 78 - |
Non-Delivery Forwards
The theoretical valuation of NDFs consists in 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 exchange rate for selling currency published by Banco de la Nación Argentina (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 exchange rate for selling currency 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 Euro exchange rate for selling currency 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 exchange rate for selling currency 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 exchange rate for selling currency published by BNA. Cash flows in dollars are discounted using the yield curve in dollars. 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.
The valuation techniques used for Level 3 financial assets require the use of variables that are not based on observable market inputs. Below is a detail of the valuation techniques used for each financial asset:
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 according to the latest available information of such companies.
Corporate bonds
For corporate bonds in pesos that are in portfolio classified as Level 3, the valuation criterion is as follows:
Latest available market price (or subscription price, if the security had not been listed in a market since the date of issuance) plus interest accrued to date. If the security has paid coupon, then the “clean” price is calculated. If principal was repaid, then repayment amount is deducted and the “dirty” price is recalculated, with interest being accrued until year-end. For this period, no corporate bonds were classified with this level.
41.4. Reconciliation of balances at beginning of year and at year-end of Level 3 assets and liabilities at fair value
The following table shows a reconciliation between balances at beginning of year and at year-end of Level 3 fair values:
|
| - 79 - |

| Equity instruments | 1,328,354 | 2,866,836 | ||
| Monetary loss from assets at fair value | (2,056,832) | (10,444,751) | ||
| Balance at fiscal year-end | 5,060,439 | 8,576,511 | ||
41.5. 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 three months, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to fair value. |
| – | 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 (un-observable input) that expresses the added value or additional cost necessary to dispose of the asset. |
| – | Variable rate financial instruments: For financial assets and financial liabilities accruing a floating rate, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to the fair value. |

Presentation of Risk Management and Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA)
Strategies and processes
The purpose of the organization is based on assuming a prudential level of risks in order to generate yields and keep acceptable levels of capital and funding, and generate benefits on a recurring basis. Therefore, it is vital that the teams assigned to risk management are highly trained professionals.
The General Risks Policy of BBVA Argentina expresses the levels and types of risk the Entity is willing to take to carry out its strategic plan, with no relevant deviations, even under stress conditions. Along this line, the process for risks management is comprehensive and proportional to the economic size and importance of the financial institution.
|
| - 86 - |
To achieve its goals, BBVA Argentina uses a management model with two guiding principles for the decision-making process:
| - | Prudential analysis: related to the management of the various risks acknowledged by the Entity. |
| - | Anticipation: it refers to the capacity to make decisions foreseeing relevant changes in the environment, the competition and customers that may have an impact in the mid-term. |
This process is adequate, sufficiently proven, duly documented and periodically reviewed based on the changes to the Entity’s risk profile and the market.
In this regard, the Board of Directors and the Senior Management are highly committed to the identification, evaluation, follow-up, control and mitigation of significant risks. These bodies periodically review credit, financial and operational risks, which may potentially affect the success of BBVA Argentina's activities, and place special emphasis on strategic, reputation and concentration risks.
Structure and organization
The Entity has a formal organizational structure in place, with a set of roles, responsibilities and powers, organized in a pyramidal structure, generating control instances by an independent area from lower to higher levels, up to the highest decision-making bodies. Below are the areas in each structure and a list of their functions:
| - | Risk Management |
| - | Committees |
| - | Reporting |
| - | Cross-Control Areas |
Risk Management:
This area is independent from business units. It is in charge of implementing the criteria, policies and procedures defined by the organization within the scope of credit risk and financial risk management, by following-up and controlling their proper application and by proposing the actions necessary to keep the quality of risks within the defined goals. Some of its main functions are to ensure proper information for the decision-making process at all levels, including relevant risk factors, such as:
-Active management throughout the risk lifetime.
-Clear processes and procedures.
-Integrated management of all risks through identification and quantification.
-Generation, implementation and dissemination of advanced decision-making support tools.
Committees:
Committees are responsible for risk management. This implies knowledge, assessment, weighting and potential mitigation. BBVA Argentina has an agile and proper structure of committees in charge of managing various risks.
Reporting:
The Reporting area is in charge of controlling procedures for risk rating and credit limit requirements; provisioning; determining the risk quota for each segment of economic activity and type of financing; and assessing and following-up fundamental metrics setting forth, in quantitative terms, the principles and general risk profile in the statement of Risk Appetite. In addition, it is in charge of generating reports to support Risk Management’s decisions in compliance with internal and control organizations’ credit policies, as well as of reviewing processes and proposing alternatives.
|
| - 87 - |
Cross-Control Areas
Internal Control - Internal Control and Compliance Department - has the following main functions: to ensure that there is a sufficient internal regulatory framework; a process and measures defined for each type of risk; to control its application and operation; and to ensure that an assessment is made of the existence of a control environment and its adequate implementation and operation.
Model Validation - Internal Control and Compliance Department - who ensures that BBVA Argentina's internal statistical risk models are adequate for their use, and must issue a well-founded and updated opinion on their adequate use.
The control and monitoring areas are in charge of giving cohesion to credit risk management and ensuring that the management of the rest of the critical risks for the Bank is carried out in accordance with the established standards.
Finally, Internal Audit, transversal to the business and support units.
Risk Appetite
Risk Appetite is a key element in financial institutions' management, providing a comprehensive framework for the Entity to determine the risks and level of risks it is willing to take to reach its business goals, expressed in terms of capital, liquidity, profitability, income recurrence, risks costs or other metrics. Risk Appetite is expressed through a Statement containing the general principles for the Bank’s strategy and quantitative metrics.
Stress Testing
In compliance with the provisions on “guidelines for risk management in Financial Institutions” set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Entity has developed a stress test program, within the Entity's comprehensive risk management.
Stress test means the evaluation of the Entity's financial position under an adverse but plausible scenario, which requires the simulation of scenarios to estimate the potential impact on the value of portfolios, profitability, solvency and liquidity for the purposes of identifying latent risks or detecting vulnerabilities.
| a) | Credit Risk |
The Bank defines credit risk as the possibility to sustain losses as a result of a debtor’s or counterparty’s noncompliance with the contractual obligations assumed.
Credit risk is present in on and off-balance sheet transactions, as well as settlement risk, that is to say, when a financial transaction cannot be completed or settled as agreed. Credit risk losses arise from a debtor's or counterparty’s noncompliance with its obligations. Also, it takes into consideration several types of risks, such as country risk, and counterparty credit risk.
BBVA Argentina defines country risk as the risk of sustaining losses generated in investments and loans to individuals, companies, and governments due to the incidence of economic, political, and social events occurring in a foreign country.
|
| - 88 - |
Strategy and processes
BBVA Argentina develops a credit risk management strategy defining the goals that will guide its granting activities, the policies to be adopted, and the necessary practices and procedures to carry out those activities.
Additionally, Risk Management annually develops, together with the rest of the Group's management departments, a budget process, including the main variables of credit risk:
| - | Expected growth per portfolio and product. |
| - | Evolution of default ratio. |
| - | Evolution of write-off portfolios. |
Thus, the standard expected credit risk values for a term of one year are set. Afterwards, the real values obtained are compared with that budget, to assess both the growth of the portfolio and its quality.
Also, maximum limits or exposures per economic activity are formalized, pursuant to the Bank’s placement strategy, which are used to follow up credit portfolios. In the event of deviations from the limits set, these are analyzed by the Risk Follow-Up Committees to take the necessary measures.
Admission
BBVA Argentina has credit risk admission policies, whereby the criteria for obtaining quality assets, establish risk tolerance levels and align credit activities with BBVA Argentina's and the Group's strategy are defined. Thus, the risk assumption policy is organized in three different levels within the Group:
- Analysis of the financial risk of the transaction, based on the debtor's ability to pay or to generate funds.
- The constitution of adequate guarantees, or in any case generally accepted guarantees, for the risk assumed, in any of the generally accepted forms: cash, in rem, personal or hedging.
- Evaluation of the repayment risk (liquidity of the assets) of the guarantees received.
Follow-up
The Bank establishes certain follow-up procedures based on the banking area involved, as the admission stage is not the end of the process. Follow-up is as important as decision-making, since risk is dynamic and customers rely on themselves and the environment.
The main follow-up procedures carried out for the various Banking areas are:
| - | Follow-up on the limit granted: Since customer profiles vary over time, the limits of products purchased are periodically reviewed for the purpose of extending, reducing, or suspending the limit assigned, based on the risk situation. |
| - | Maintenance of proactive limits: Customers’ characteristics, and therefore the characteristics of the data originating certain limits, vary over time. Therefore, there is periodical maintenance of the proactive limits, taking into consideration the changes in a customer's situation (position of assets and liabilities, and relationship). Likewise, there is a periodic follow-up on the changes in proactive limits for the purpose of controlling and ensuring the risk assigned is in accordance with the desired risk levels. |
| - | Follow-up on rating tools: Rating tools rely on the internal inputs and show the characteristics and biases of such inputs. Therefore, they need a long period of use to soften or eliminate those biases through the inclusion of new information, correction of existing information and periodic reviews optimizing the results of back-tests. |
|
| - 89 - |
| - | Portfolio analysis: The portfolio analysis consists of a follow-up process and study of the complete cycle of the risk of portfolios for the purpose of analyzing the status of the portfolio, identifying potential improvements in the management, and forecasting the future behavior. |
Additionally, the following functions shall be carried out:
| - | Follow-up on specific customers. |
| - | Follow-up on products. |
| - | Follow-up on units (branches, areas, channels). |
| - | Other follow-up actions (samples, control of admission and risk management processes, campaigns). |
The priority in credit risk follow-up processes is focused mainly on problematic or potentially problematic customers, for preventive purposes. The remaining aspects, the follow-up on products, units and other follow-up actions are supplementary to the specific follow-up on customers.
Recovery
BBVA Argentina has Recovery areas which are part of its Retail and Wholesale Risk divisions. The role of these areas is mitigating the severity of credit portfolios, of both the Bank and the companies related to the Entity, as well as contributing to the Bank's results, directly through collections of Write-Off portfolios and indirectly through collections of active portfolios, which imply a reduction in allowances.
Scope and nature of risk information and/or measurement systems
BBVA Argentina has several tools that are used in credit risk management, allowing for effective risk control and facilitating the whole risk treatment process.
Credit risk hedging and/or mitigation policy
Although risk hedges and/or mitigation with additional guarantees are an important factor when granting loans, the main factor to decide is if the customer has sufficient generation of funds to pay for the obligations agreed.
The beneficiary's repayment capacity by generating sufficient resources is above any other consideration. Thus, the risk decision is based on the borrower's payment capacity to timely and duly comply with all the financial obligations assumed, based on income obtained from its customary business or income source, without relying on sureties, guarantors or assets pledged as collateral.
In addition to the policies and follow-ups, BBVA Argentina uses collateral, comfort letters and covenants as risk mitigating tools.
Collateral
Upon assessing collateral, BBVA Argentina carefully analyzes if it is appropriate. Along this line, the milestones to update the value of collateral apply under prudential principles.
Regarding the types of collateral managed by BBVA Argentina, the following stand out:
| - | Guarantees: It includes sureties or unsecured instruments. |
|
| - 90 - |
| - | Joint and several guarantee: Upon default on payment, the creditor may collect the unpaid amount from either the debtor or the surety. |
| - | Joint guarantee: In this case the guarantors and debtholders are liable in proportion to their interest in the company / transaction and restricted to such amount or percentage. |
| - | Security interest: It includes guarantees based on tangible assets, which are classified as follows: |
| · | Mortgages: A mortgage does not change the debtor's unlimited liability, who remains fully liable. They are documented pursuant to the Bank's internal regulations for such purposes and are duly registered. Also, there is an independent appraisal, at market value, which enables a prompt sale. |
| · | Pledges: This includes chattel mortgages of motor vehicles or machinery, as well as liens on Time Deposits and Mutual Funds. To be accepted, they shall be effective upon realization accordingly, they are properly documented and shall be approved by the Legal Services area. Finally, the Bank hedges against the variation in the value of the pledge. |
Loan commitments
To meet the specific financial needs of customers, the Group's credit policy also includes, among others, granting collateral, surety, warranties, letters of credit and secured loans (recorded in debit accounts pursuant to accounting standards of the BCRA). Although these transactions are not recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position because they imply a potential liability for the Group, they expose the Group to credit risks in addition to those recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and are, therefore, an integral part of the Group's total risk.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group holds certain contingent transactions, as detailed in Note 8.
Hedging based on netting of on and off-balance sheet transactions
The Entity, within the limits defined by regulations regarding netting, negotiates with its customers the execution of master agreements (for instance, ISDA or CMOF) for the derivatives business, including the netting of off-balance sheet transactions.
The wording of each agreement determines in each case the transaction subject to netting. The reduction in the exposure of counterparty risk arising from the use of mitigation techniques (netting plus use of collateral agreements) implies a decrease in total exposure (current market value plus potential risk).
Main types of guarantors and counterparties of credit derivatives
The Bank defines that the collateral (or credit derivative) shall be direct, explicit, irrevocable, and unconditional in order to be accepted as risk mitigation. Furthermore, regarding admissible guarantors, BBVA Argentina accepts financial institutions (local or foreign), public entities, stock exchange companies, and resident and non-resident companies, including insurance companies.
|
| - 91 - |
Concentration of the market or credit risk through the instruments used to mitigate credit risk
The Entity classifies the collateral received
pursuant to the regulations in force of the BCRA into:
| - | Preferred Collateral “A” |
| - | Preferred Collateral “B” |
| - | Other Collateral (not included in the sections above) |
Preferred collateral received for loans are reported in Exhibit “B” to these consolidated financial statements.
Credit quality of financial assets which are not past due or impaired
The Group relies on certain tools (“scoring” and “rating”) to classify the credit quality of its transactions and customers, based on an assessment and subsequent mapping to probability of default (“PD”) scales. In analyzing the PD performance, the Group relies on certain monitoring tools and historical databases that contain relevant information generated in-house. These tools can be grouped in scoring and rating models. The main difference between both lies in the fact that scoring models are used to assess retail products, while rating models are intended for wholesale banking customers.
The Group calculates these different levels and their associated probabilities of default by reference to rating scales and default rates. These calculations establish the PD levels for the Bank's Master Rating Scale. Even though this scale is common to the whole Group, adjustments (mapping of scores to PD sections / Master Rating Scale levels) are made at the tool level per each country where the Group has tools available.
Exposure to credit risk and allowances
The exposure to credit risk and allowances, measured in accordance with IFRS 9 – BCRA (expected losses model, except for financial assets of the non-financial government sector) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

| b) | Financial Risks |
Financial Risk applies the criteria, policies and procedures defined by the Board of Directors within the management of that risk, with follow-up and control on its proper application, and proposing the necessary actions to maintain the quality of risk within the defined risk appetite.
The financial risks management model of BBVA Argentina consists of the Market Risk, Structural Risk and Economic Capital Areas, which are coordinated for risks control and follow-up.
The management of these risks is in line with the basic principles of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, with a comprehensive process to identify, measure, monitor and control risks.
The organization of financial risks is completed with a scheme of committees, in which it participates, created for the purpose of having an agile management process integrated into the treatment of the various risks.
Among others:
| - | Assets and liabilities Committee (ALCO) |
| - | Risk Management Committee (RMC) |
| - | Financial Risks Committee (FRC) |
BBVA Argentina has many tools and systems to manage and follow-up market risk, to achieve effective risk control and treatment.
| c) | Market Risk |
BBVA Argentina considers market risk as the likelihood of losing value of the trading portfolio as a consequence of adverse changes in market variables affecting the valuation of financial products and instruments.
The main market risk factors the Entity is exposed to are as follows:
| - | Interest rate risk: From exposure to changes in the various interest rate curves. |
| - | Foreign exchange risk: From changes in the various foreign exchange rates. All positions in a currency other than the financial statements currency create foreign exchange risk. |
The main market risk metric is VaR (“Value at Risk”), a parameter to estimate the maximum loss expected for the trading portfolio positions with a 99% confidence level and a time horizon of 1 day.
Current management structure and procedures in force include follow-up on a limit and alert arrangement in terms of VaR, economic capital, stress and stop loss.
The market risk measurement model is periodically validated through Back-Testing to determine the quality and precision of the VaR estimate.
The Market Risk management model contemplates procedures for communication in the event the risks levels defined are exceeded, establishing specific communication and action procedures based on the exceeded threshold.
|
| - 100 - |
The market risk measurement perimeter is the trading book managed by the Global Markets unit. The trading book mainly consists of:
| - | Argentine Government Securities (Argentine Treasury bonds and bills). |
| - | BCRA Liquidity Bills |
| - | Corporate Bonds. |
| - | Foreign exchange spot. |
| - | Derivatives (Exchange rate Futures and Forwards). |
The following tables show changes in total VaR and VaR per risk factors.

Interest rate risk
Structural interest risk (SIR) gathers the potential impact of market interest rate variations on the margin of interest and the equity value of BBVA Argentina.
The process to manage this risk has a limit structure to keep the exposure to this risk within levels that are consistent with the risk appetite and the business strategy defined and approved by the Board of Directors.
|
| - 102 - |
Within the core metrics used for measurement, follow-up and control, the following stand out:
| - | Margin at Risk (MaR): It quantifies the maximum loss which may be recorded in the financial margin projected over 12 months under the worst-case scenario of rate curves for a certain level of confidence. |
| - | Economic Capital (EC): It quantifies the maximum loss which may be recorded in the Entity's economic value under the worst-case scenario of rate curves for a certain level of confidence. |
The Bank additionally carries out a sensitivity analysis on the economic value and the financial margin for parallel variations by +/- 100 basis points over interest rates.
The following table shows the progress of the sensitivity of the economic value (SEV), given a variation of +100 basis points in relation to the Core Capital:
SEV +100 bps
| 12.31.25 | 12.31.24 | |
| Closing | 1.95 % | 0.94 % |
| Minimum | 0.07 % | 0.30 % |
| Maximum | 2.00 % | 0.94 % |
| Average | 0.32 % | 0.63 % |
The following table shows the progress of the sensitivity of the financial margin (SFM), given a variation of -100 basis points in relation to the 12-month projected margin:
SFM -100 bps
| 12.31.25 | 12.31.24 | |
| Closing | 5.90 % | 0.77 % |
| Minimum | 0.17 % | 0.11 % |
| Maximum | 5.90 % | 0.77 % |
| Average | 2.86 % | 0.44 % |
| d) | Liquidity and financing risk |
Liquidity risk is defined as the possibility that the Entity may not efficiently meet its payment obligations, without incurring significant losses that may affect its daily operations or its financial position.
The short-term purpose of the liquidity and financing risk management process at BBVA Argentina is to timely and duly address payment commitments agreed, without resorting to additional funding deteriorating the Entity's reputation or significantly affecting its financial position, keeping the exposure to this risk within levels that are consistent with the risk appetite and the business strategy defined and approved by the Board of Directors. In the medium and long term, such process is aimed at watching for the suitability of the financial structure of the Bank and its changes, according to the economic situation, the markets, and the regulatory changes.
Within the core metrics used for measurement, follow-up and control of this risk, the following stand out:
LtSCD (Loan to Stable Customers Deposits): It measures the relationship between the net credit investment and the customers’ stable resources and is set forth as the key metric of risk appetite. The goal is to preserve a stable financing structure in the medium and long term.
|
| - 103 - |
Changes in LtSCD ratios are summarized below:
| 12.31.25 | 12.31.24 | |
| LtSCD Closing | 96.00 % | 88.90 % |
| Maximum | 99.10 % | 88.90 % |
| Minimum | 87.30 % | 57.70 % |
| Average | 95.20 % | 74.60 % |
LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio): It measures the relation between high quality liquid assets and total net cash outflows during a 30-day period. BBVA Argentina, as established in the regulations issued by the BCRA, “A” 5693, calculates the liquidity coverage coefficient daily.
Changes in LCR ratios are summarized below:
| 12.31.25 | 12.31.24 | |
| LCR Closing | 128 % | 141 % |
| Maximum | 151 % | 246 % |
| Minimum | 107 % | 137 % |
| Average | 129 % | 176 % |

45. Restrictions to the distribution of earnings
| a) | In accordance with the regulations of the BCRA, 20% of the income for the year plus/less adjustments of prior years' results, transfers from other comprehensive income to retained earnings and less the accumulated loss at the end of the previous year, if any, must be allocated to the legal reserve. Therefore, the next Shareholders’ Meeting must apply 49,998,273 of Unappropriated retained earnings to increase the balance of such reserve. |
| b) | By means of Communication “A” 6464, as amended and supplemented, the BCRA establishes the general procedure for the distribution of earnings. According to such procedure, distributions are allowed only if certain situations are not verified, namely: to receive financial assistance from such entity due to illiquidity, shortfalls as regards minimum capital requirements or minimum cash requirements, to fall under the scope of the provisions of Sections 34 and 35 bis of the Financial Institutions Law (sections referred to regularization and correction plans and restructuring of the Entity), among other conditions detailed in the referred communication to be complied with. Furthermore, the distribution of earnings as approved by the Entity’s Shareholders’ Meeting shall not be effective unless approved by the Superintendency of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions of the BCRA. |

In addition, no distributions of earnings shall be made with the profit resulting from the first time application of IFRS, which shall be included as a special reserve, and the balance of which as of December 31, 2025 amounts to 211,830,083.
Besides, the Entity shall verify that, once the proposed distribution of earnings is made, capital conservation margin equivalent to 2.5% of the risk-weighted assets is kept, which is additional to the minimum capital requirement set forth by law, and shall be paid in with level 1 ordinary capital (COn1), net of deductible concepts (CDCOn1).
Pursuant to Communication "A" 8214, the BCRA provided that until December 31, 2025, financial institutions that have the BCRA's prior authorization may distribute earnings for up to 60% of the amount that would have corresponded to them in ten equal, monthly and consecutive installments (as from June 30, 2025 and not before the next to last business day of the following months). In addition, it established that the items used in determining the distributable earnings, and the amounts of the abovementioned installments should be computed in constant pesos as of the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting or as of the payment date of each installment, as applicable. Subsequently, by means of Communication "A" 8235, the BCRA established that financial institutions that resolve to distribute earnings within the framework of the provisions of Communication "A" 8214, should grant nonresident shareholders the option to collect their dividends –in full or in part– in a single installment in cash, provided that such funds be directly used for the primary subscription of Bonds for the reconstruction of a free Argentina (BOPREAL, for its acronym in Spanish) in accordance with current exchange regulations.

|
| - 133 - |
IX. Business lines
The most relevant business lines are: Retail Banking, whose strategy relies on building a comprehensive relationship with customers and strengthening the credit card segment; Small and medium companies, which aims at aiding companies through both short- and long-term financing and Corporate Banking, an area concerned with Foreign Trade transactions as much as with advice in mergers and acquisitions and in capital market transactions.
X. Economic incentives for the personnel
Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. applies a policy of rewards to attract and retain the proper individuals for each position, based on the following principles:
| - | Acknowledgement and compensation based on individual performance, work team, results obtained and their quality, as well as the skills and competences applied by individuals to their work. |
- Ensuring internal fairness through structure analysis, descriptions of positions and remunerations.
- Ensuring external competitiveness by updating the information with the benchmark market.
- Rewarding the contribution of tangible results.
The rewards system includes compensations paid to employees as consideration for their contribution to the organization in terms of time, role and results, and it involves a fixed as well as a variable remuneration system.
In order to comply with such principles, the Entity has implemented the following tools within the remuneration processes:
- Salary surveys into the benchmark market: the position adopted within the survey is defined in accordance with the Bank’s needs and strategy for each period. This benchmark market is made up of a number of companies that have similar organizational structures and business sizes.
- Salary categories/brackets: these are designed on the basis of the internal structure of the positions and the information derived from market salary surveys. These brackets represent salary ranges grouping positions that rank similarly in terms of responsibility, experience, knowledge, etc.
Also, BBVA Argentina uses performance evaluations as a key tool to compensate the effort and results of each employee. At the end of each fiscal year, each person in charge evaluates the goals of their team members to obtain an individual assessment of their performance for the year. Such assessment has four types of goals: Quantitative, Customer, Tactical and Other Goals.
The result of the assessment reflects the level of contribution by each member of the team, which is the basis to assess the right to collect the rewards defined.
Classification is the process whereby the manager carries out a global assessment of each team member to evaluate the performance of their current position. The results of such assessment are used to apply certain Human Resources policies.
In turn, projection is the process whereby a manager assesses the capabilities of each team member to perform higher level functions inside BBVA Argentina. This assessment shall be based on experience, knowledge, skills, and the commitment of the team member.
Each employee has access to various rewards based on their work position and the results of their performance evaluation. The goal is to encourage and reward the achievement of results. The models currently in force are:
| - | Network rewards model: It consists of four quarterly payments and one payment of annual indicators. Payment is related to the attainment of the goals assigned to each individual, for each period. Each position has a set of goals, and each goal has a certain weight. |
|
| - 134 - |
| - | Reward model for Central Areas, Channels and Network support: It consists of a yearly variable payment assigned to each employee by the supervisor, taking into consideration their performance evaluation and the position's reference reward. Additionally, variables related to the attainment of the Entity's goals are considered, based on the criteria adopted and the degree of compliance with the budget. These factors may have an impact on the defined variable reward. |
| - | Commissions reward model: The value of the commission depends on the unit value of each product based on its contribution to the Entity's profit and loss account. The criteria to be applied for rewards through commissions are reviewed annually. They are paid monthly in arrears. |
| - | Share-based incentives reward model: An incentive program for executives whose professional activities have a material impact on the Entity’s risk profile, based on the delivery of shares of the controlling company. The number of units to be assigned is determined taking as a reference the level of responsibility of each beneficiary within the Bank. The number of shares to be actually delivered shall depend on the employee's individual performance ratio. |
Executives included in that group receive at least 50% of the annual variable reward for each year in shares of the controlling entity. The payment, both in cash and shares, shall be distributed as follows: 60% of their rewards during the first quarter of the year and the remaining 40%, 3 years after the first payment date of the variable reward.
Shares delivered to this group of employees, which are part of their annual variable reward for the year, cannot be disposed of during the 6 months immediately following delivery. The unavailability regime applies to the net amount of the shares, that is to say, discounting the portion necessary for the employee to pay taxes on the shares received. This shares unavailability regime also applies in the event of termination of the employment contract or the contract of a director with BBVA Argentina for any cause, except in the case of death and all degrees of disability for labor purposes. After the unavailability period, BBVA Argentina's employees that are part of the “Colectivo Sujeto” group may freely transfer their shares.
In addition to achieving the goals set forth for such incentive, the beneficiary shall remain active in the Entity as of the settlement date, he/she should be entitled to receive regular variable rewards for that fiscal year, and should have not been subject to penalties for serious noncompliance with the code of conduct and other internal regulations.
XI. Code of conduct
The Entity has a Code of Conduct binding on all employees and officers of BBVA Argentina.
The Code of Conduct defines the ethical behavior that the Board of BBVA Argentina considers applicable to the businesses and activities conducted by BBVA Argentina and the group companies in Argentina; builds the foundations thereof and lays down the guidelines required for corporate integrity to be outwardly expressed in: (i) relationships with customers, employees, officers, suppliers, and third parties; (ii) acting in the various markets as issuers or operators; (iii) individual actions by employees and officers; and (iv) establishing specific bodies and functions endowed with the responsibility of enforcing the Code and fostering the actions necessary to effectively safeguard corporate integrity as a whole.
XII. Conflict of interest
On November 24, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the General Conflicts of Interest Policy at BBVA Argentina and other affiliates in Argentina.
The Policy contains the following principal guidelines: (i) it determines the scope of application; (ii) it sets forth the general principles, (iii) it identifies conflicts of interest; and establishes the measures for preventing and handling conflicts of interest; (iv) it regulates the conflicts of interest of members of the management board; and (v) it provides the model of government and supervision of this Policy.
In addition, Section 12 “Standards for discharging directorship duties” of the Code of Corporate Governance regulates, among other matters, transactions between Directors and the Bank or other Group companies.
|
| - 135 - |
Basically, it mandates that any Director involved shall not be in attendance when the relevant corporate bodies, in which he/she sits, are in session to discuss the matters in which he/she might have a direct or indirect interest or which might affect persons related to him/her in the terms defined by the laws.
It also prescribes that the Director involved shall refrain from entering, either directly or indirectly, into personal, professional, or commercial transactions with the Bank or companies of its group, other than ordinary banking transactions, unless these transactions are subject to a procurement process that ensures transparency, with competing bids, and on an arm’s length basis.
XIII. Diversity and inclusion
On September 4, 2020, the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”) issued Communication “A” 7100, incorporating gender equality criteria to its "Corporate Governance Guidelines for Financial Institutions" as best corporate practice for the composition of financial institutions' governance bodies.
Within the “General Considerations” section of the "Corporate Governance Guidelines for Financial Institutions,” the Argentine Central Bank incorporated the following concepts: (i) gender equality, as a “guideline that seeks to achieve equal participation of men and women in decision-making roles at the workplace and to ensure the right to equal opportunities and non-discrimination based on gender;” and (ii) managing with gender equality, such as “developing gender-equality conditions though policies and affirmative actions.”
As stated in Communication, a good corporate governance practice is ensuring that entities' boards of directors are made up considering gender equality, to foster discussion and enrich the decision-making on strategies, policies and risks assumed.
Furthermore, the communication recommends that financial institutions: (i) select and, where necessary, replace their main executives and have an appropriate succession plan in place so that candidates meet the eligibility requirements to run the Entity, taking into account gender equality; and (ii) approve, watch and review the design and operation of their personnel's compensation plan and, if applicable, their personnel's incentive plans, according to applicable laws and considering gender equality, ensuring that they are implemented accordingly.
Besides, the boards of directors of financial institutions will be tasked with new functions, such as: (i) approving recruitment policies that foster inclusive and diverse workplaces in terms of gender, geographical origin, age, ethnics, professional experience, family composition, and caring responsibilities, in designating both senior management members and the rest of the entity's personnel; (ii) approving gender and gender violence education and training policies; and (iii) fostering mechanisms to manage with gender equality, creating, where necessary, a dedicated area, based on equal opportunities and non-discrimination on the basis of gender, applicable to the several stages of the entity's development.
In this respect, on November 24, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the General Diversity and Inclusion Policy. The policy seeks to establish guidelines that instill a culture of respect for diversity and inclusion, ensuring equal opportunities and contributing to foster a more open culture, based on respect and richness from diverse talents. All who are part of BBVA Argentina are personally responsible for following the procedures established in this policy to ensure diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination in their actions, and for reporting any discriminatory practice. Some of the principles enshrined by this policy include:
| 1. | Recognizing and appraising diversity at BBVA Argentina as part of its purpose of “bringing the opportunities of this new era to everyone.” |
| 2. | Affording a decent, respectful and equal treatment to all our employees, whether direct and indirect, without regard to their age, ethnics, sex, religion, disability, gender, financial condition, political affiliation, etc., recognizing freedom of speech and equal rights and embracing inclusion. |
| 3. | Favoring inclusion through the full recognition and exercise of people's rights and equality. |
| 4. | Considering diversity in all our actions, crosscutting all our decisions as members of BBVA Argentina, for employees as well as for customers and suppliers. |
|
| - 136 - |
| 5. | Appreciating contributions from diverse perspectives, facilitating and encouraging people's development and professional growth. |
| 6. | Facilitating team's balance in terms of work, family and leisure time, fostering actions framed under the Work Better & Enjoy Life umbrella. |
| 7. | Using appropriate language and behaviors at all times without jokes or comments that may be detrimental to people based on their age, ethnics, sex, religion, disability, gender, financial condition, political affiliation, etc. |
The Group organizes online training courses and talks on diversity and inclusion addressed to all employees to raise awareness on gender equality and non-discrimination.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025
(Amounts stated in thousands of Argentine pesos in constant currency – Note 2.1.5. to the consolidated financial statements)
(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 42)
1. Basis for the preparation of separate financial statements
As mentioned in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, 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 financial statements mentioned above and are intended for the purposes of complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
2. Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards
These separate 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 separate financial statements:
| (1) | Within the framework of the convergence process to IFRS Accounting Standards established by Communication “A” 6114, as amended and supplemented, the BCRA provided that for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” according to BCRA regulations, as such is the case of the Entity, are required to start to apply paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (paragraphs B5.5.1 through B5.5.55) except for exposures to the public sector, considering the exclusion set forth by Communication “A” 6847. |
Had the abovementioned paragraph 5.5. “Impairment” been applied in full, according to an estimate made by the Entity, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, its shareholders’ equity would have been reduced by 482,659 and 6,715,450, respectively.
Except for what was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the accounting policies applied by the Entity comply with the IFRS Accounting Standards that have been currently approved and are applicable in the preparation of these separate financial statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB as adopted by the BCRA as per Communication “A” 8400. In general, the BCRA does not allow the early application of any IFRS Accounting Standards, unless otherwise specified.
Likewise, the BCRA by means of Communications "A" 6323 and 6324 established guidelines for the preparation and presentation of financial statements of financial entities as from fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018, including additional information requirements as well as the information to be presented in the form of Exhibits.

3. Significant accounting policies
Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Bank. The Bank controls an entity if it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Bank reassesses whether it has control when there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.
Ownership interests in subsidiaries are accounted for 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 the profit or loss and OCI of investments accounted for using the equity method, until the date when the control, significant influence or joint control cease (See Note 2.2. under Closing of acquisition of 50% of FCA Compañía Financiera S.A.’s capital stock and determination of final price and Note 2.3.6. under Business combinations to the consolidated financial statements).
The financial statements as of December 31, 2025 of the subsidiaries BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A.U.

(Amounts stated in thousands of Argentine pesos in constant currency –Note 2.1.5. to the consolidated financial statements)
(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 56 to the consolidated financial statements)
This reporting summary was prepared on the basis of the consolidated financial statements of the Bank 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 financial statements:
| – | Within the framework of the convergence process to IFRS Accounting Standards established by Communication “A” 6114, as amended and supplemented, the BCRA provided that for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2020, financial institutions defined as “Group A” according to BCRA regulations, as such is the case of the Entity, are required to start to apply paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (paragraphs B5.5.1 through B5.5.55) except for exposures to the public sector, considering the exclusion set forth by Communication “A” 6847. |
Had the abovementioned paragraph 5.5. “Impairment” been applied in full, according to a global estimate made by the Entity, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, its shareholders’ equity would have been reduced by 482,659 and 6,715,450, 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 financial statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB as adopted by the BCRA as per Communication “A” 8400. In general, the BCRA does not allow the early application of any IFRS Accounting Standards, unless otherwise specified.
These financial statements as of December 31, 2025 have been approved by the Board of Directors of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. on March 4, 2026.
Likewise, the BCRA by means of Communications "A" 6323 and 6324 established guidelines for the preparation and presentation of financial statements of financial entities as from fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018, including additional information requirements as well as the information to be presented in the form of Exhibits.
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 December 31, 2025 and 2024.

REPORTING SUMMARY FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
(Amounts stated in thousands of Argentine pesos in constant currency –Note 2.1.5. to the consolidated financial statements)
(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 56 to the consolidated financial statements)
Accumulated net interest income totaled 2,722,708,920, down by 29.43% compared to December 2024. Such decrease was driven by less income from premiums for reverse repurchase agreements and interest on CER clause adjustments, offset by less interest on UVA clause adjustments and interest on checking accounts.
Accumulated net commission income totaled 509,021,223 accounting for a 36.93% increase compared to December 2024. This increase was due to higher commissions linked to liabilities and credit card commissions. This increase in commission income was partially offset by increased commission expenses.
As concerns accumulated administrative expenses and personnel benefits totaled 1,252,485,611, down by 11.83% vis-a-vis December 2024. This decrease was due to lower expenses for personnel compensation and bonuses and taxes. This decrease was offset by increased expenses for security services and advertising.
Prospects
Following a third quarter characterized by political instability, and the resulting monetary and foreign exchange pressures, the outcome of the mid-term legislative elections reaffirmed support for the Government’s reform agenda and fiscal consolidation. This led to a swift normalization of financial variables, which reverted to levels observed prior to such events.
BBVA Research maintains its GDP growth forecast for 2025 at 4.5% and expects the expansion to continue, albeit moderating to approximately 3% in 2026. Inflation has sustained a downward trend throughout 2025, closing the year at 31.5%, the lowest level since 2017. For 2026, inflationary pressures are expected to continue to ease, with inflation projected at 22%. Furthermore, the Central Bank has announced the main guidelines of a reserve accumulation programme, which has been under implementation since January and is expected to support the continued normalization of monetary and foreign exchange conditions.
In a year marked by interest rate volatility during the second half and a gradual deterioration in the credit quality of certain segments of the retail portfolio, BBVA Argentina continued to advance in the execution of its growth strategy, reflecting its intention to remain a relevant participant in the recovery of economic activity in Argentina.
In summary, despite a challenging operating environment, Banco BBVA Argentina has demonstrated resilience and sound management throughout 2025. Positive loan growth, non-performing loan ratios below the system average, and solid liquidity and capital levels evidence the strength of its risk management framework and its prudent approach. The Bank reaffirms its commitment to continue supporting economic activity, maintaining operational efficiency, and delivering sustainable value to its shareholders.

AUDIT REPORT ISSUED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Directors of
BANCO BBVA ARGENTINA S.A.
CUIT (Argentine tax identification number): 30-50000319-3
Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111
City of Buenos Aires
I. Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
| 1. | We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of BANCO BBVA ARGENTINA S.A. (the “Bank”) and its subsidiaries, which comprise: (a) the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025; (b) the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, the changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, and (c) explanatory information on the financial statements, which include the significant accounting policies, and other explanatory information included in the supplementary notes and exhibits. |
| 2. | In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BANCO BBVA ARGENTINA S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025, as well as its comprehensive income, the changes in shareholder´s equity and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting information framework established by the Central Bank of Argentina (“BCRA”), as indicated in the section “Responsibilities of the Bank’s Board of Directors and Management for the financial statements.” |
Basis of the opinion
| 3. | We have conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards established in Technical Resolution No. 37 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”) and with the “Minimum Standards for External Audits for Financial Institutions” issued by the BCRA. Our responsibilities under those standards are described below in the section “Auditor’s responsibilities on the audit of the financial statements.” We are independent from the Bank and we have complied with the other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires and Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE. We believe that the judgmental evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion |

Emphasis on certain issues disclosed in the financial statements
| 4. | We would like to draw attention to the information contained in note 2 “Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards”, in which the Bank quantifies the effects of the application of section 5.5. “Impairment in value” of International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 9 “Financial instruments” would have to financial assets that include exposures to the public sector, which were temporarily excluded from such application by Communication “A” 6847 of the BCRA, which is explained in such note. |
This issue does not modify the opinion expressed in paragraph 2, but it should be taken into account by the users who utilize the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board) for the interpretation of the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1.
| 5. | As further explained in Note 56 to the consolidated financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1., certain accounting practices used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements conform with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA but may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries. |
Information other than the financial statements and the related auditor´s report (“Other information”)
| 6. | “Other information” comprises the information included in the Summary of events submitted to comply with CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) regulations, and in the Board of Directors’ Letter to the Shareholders. This information is not included in the financial statements and our related auditor´s report. The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. |
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of conclusion that provides a degree of assurance on it.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is significant inconsistency between the other information and the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained by us in the audit, or whether for any other reason there appears to be a significant misstatement. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a significant misstatement of this other information, we are required to report it. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Other matters
| 7. | We have issued separately an audit report on the separate financial statements of BANCO BBVA ARGENTINA S.A. as of the same date and for the same period indicated in paragraph 1. |
Responsibilities of the Bank’s Board of Directors and Management for the financial statements
| 8. | The Bank’s Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting reporting framework established by the BCRA which, as indicated in note 2 to the financial statements mentioned on paragraph 1, is based on IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and adopted by the FACPCE, and subject to the temporary exceptions and provisions established by the BCRA explained in such note. In addition, the Bank’s Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for the internal control that they may deem necessary for the consolidated financial statements to be prepared free of material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as the case may be, the matters related to this issue and using this basis of accounting unless the Board either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities on the audit of the financial statements
| 9. | Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from significant misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor´s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with FACPCE Technical Resolution No. 37 and with the “Minimum Standards on External Audits” issued by the BCRA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on the consolidated financial statements. |

As part of the audit performed in accordance with FACPCE TR No. 37 and the Minimum Standards on External Audits” issued by the BCRA, we applied our professional judgment, and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| · | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| · | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank's internal control. |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors and Management. |
| · | Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board´s of Directors and Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that there is a material uncertainty, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, or if those disclosures are not appropriate, to express a qualified opinion. Our conclusions are based on the evidence obtained through the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| · | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |

City of Buenos Aires
In our capacity as members of the Supervisory Committee of BANCO BBVA ARGENTINA S.A.

| II. | SCOPE OF OUR EXAMINATION |
We performed our examination in accordance with the standards on statutory audit in force. Such standards require that we examine the financial statements referred to in paragraph I in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina, and that we verify the consistency of the documents subject to review with the information on corporate decisions disclosed in minutes, and the compliance of such decisions with the Law and the corporate by-laws in all formal and documentary aspects.
In conducting our examination of the documents detailed in paragraph I, we have considered the work performed by the external auditors PISTRELLI, HENRY MARTIN Y ASOCIADOS S.A., who issued their auditor reports on March 4, 2026 including an unqualified opinion and an emphasis of matter paragraph concerning certain issues disclosed in the financial statements, which are described in paragraph III of this report.
An audit entails performing procedures on a selective basis to obtain audit evidence about the disclosures included in the financial statements. The selected procedures depend on the professional judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements.
In performing such risk assessment, we have considered the Entity's existing internal control on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in order to select the appropriate auditing procedures in light of the circumstances, but not in order to render an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal control. An audit also involves assessing the accounting criteria used by the Entity, the material estimates made by the Board of Directors, and the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Therefore, we consider that valid and sufficient judgment elements are obtained in order to support our professional opinion.
