Net interest income for 2Q20 was $15.9 billion, decreasing 8.4% or $1.5 billion QoQ, and 17.1% or $3.3 billion YoY. The lower interest income is partially offset by lower interest expenses, driven by a decreasing trend in interest rates during the quarter, and an increase in sight deposits.

In 2Q20 interest income totaled $22.3 billion, 13.9% or $3.6 billion lower than 1Q20, and 33.9% or $11.5 billion lower than 2Q19. Quarterly decrease is explained by a decline in rates of interest-earning assets, driven by the credit support measures promoted by the Government to counteract the effects of the pandemic. Additionally, a fall in interest rates fostered by changes in the country's monetary policy has contributed to the quarterly decrease in interest income.

Income from government securities fell 10.2% or $673 million compared to 1Q20, and 52.7% or $6.6 billion compared to 2Q19. This is explained by a decrease in the monetary policy set by the BCRA (average rate of 38% in 2Q20, 47.4% in 1Q20 and 69.2% in 2Q191). This contraction is offset by an increase in the position in BCRA liquidity instruments (LELIQ), derived from new regulation that enables a higher position in LELIQ in line with what is granted in time deposits at minimum rate. 86% of results is explained by public securities at fair value with changes in the Other comprehensive income (OCI) line item, mainly LELIQ.

Interest income from loans and other financing totaled $14.2 billion, decreasing 10.7% or $1.7 billion QoQ. This is mainly explained by the implementation of credit lines to SMEs at 24%, zero rate credit lines and the lower credit card financing rate.

Income from CER/UVA adjustments was 29.6% lower QoQ and 46.8% lower YoY, mainly explained by the deceleration in inflation during the quarter (5.4% in 2Q20 vs. 7.8% in 1Q202).

Interest expenses totaled $6.5 billion, 24.9% lower than 1Q20 and 55.9% lower than 2Q19. This is a consequence of the reduction in time deposit and interest-bearing checking account average rates, derived from lower market rates and excess liquidity.

In 2Q20, net fee income grew 57.3% or $1.1 billion compared to 1Q20, and 9.2% or $261 million compared to 2Q19.

Fee income totaled $6.1 billion, 7.3% higher QoQ as a result of fees from credit card consumption received during the period, which more than offset the fall in activity due to the effects of the pandemic.

Fee expenses fell 19.3% compared to 1Q20 and 15.8% compared to 2Q19 respectively. This is mainly explained by lower expenses related to credit card benefits as a result of a lower activity due to the extension of the mandatory lockdown on COVID-19, and lower investment in client acquisition, also derived from the lower activity.

In 2Q20, net income from financial instruments at Fair Value (FV) through P&L was $1.0 billion, decreasing 21.8% or $283 million QoQ. This is explained by the lower volume in forward contract transactions, as a consequence of a lower activity driven by regulations and the broad spread in foreign exchange prices. In the year, the contraction was 67.2% or $2.1 billion, mainly explained by the cashing in of dividends received from share participation in Prisma in 2Q19 ($1.1 billion). Excluding this result, the decrease versus 2Q19 would have been 49.6% or $1.0 billion.

Income from private securities contracted 376.0% or $136 million QoQ, by cause of a higher negative impact of inflation adjustment compared to the variation in market prices.

In 2Q20, the difference in quoted prices of gold and foreign currency showed profit for $1.5 billion, falling 3.2% or $50 million compared with 1Q20, due to lower activity driven by changes in foreign exchange market regulation, partially offset by an increase in results from purchase and sale of foregin currency.

In 2Q20 Other operating income totaled $1.1 billion, increasing 4.4% or $48 million QoQ explained by increases in rental of safe deposit boxes, and decreasing 82.3% or $5.3 billion compared to 2Q19.

It is important to highlight that during 2Q19, an income was reported in the Other operating income line, from the declaratory action filed related to inflation adjustments in the Income Tax Return for fiscal year 2018. This was offset by the provision for the same amount reported in Other operating expenses.

During 2Q20, personnel benefits and administration expenses totaled $7.8 billion, decreasing 7.8% or $664 million QoQ, and 6.1% YoY. This is mainly explained by the efficiency plan put into effect as of 4Q19.

- 7 -

Personnel benefits contracted 15.2% or $712 million compared to 1Q20, and 16.6% or $790 million compared to 2Q19. As of the end of June there were no new rearrangements with labor unions regarding salary increases. On July 16, 2020, an arrangement with the union was agreed for a 26% increase in four instalments (7% in January, 6% in April, 7% in July and 6% in October), with a review clause in November 2020.

In 2Q20, administrative expenses increased 1.3% QoQ and 8.0% YoY. This increase is mainly due to adjustments applied to continue operating during the pandemic. These adjustments include cleaning and disinfection costs, purchase of protection equipment (gloves, face masks, etc.), surveillance and software costs, all of which were partially offset by the contraction in administrative services and advertising expenses.

The accumulated efficiency ratio as of 2Q20 was 47.4%, remaining stable compared to the 47.4% reported in 1Q20, and higher than the 36.1% reported in 2Q19. This is a result of a deeper percentage fall in the denominator (income), than the fall recorded in the numerator (expenses).

In 2Q20, other operating expenses decreased 26.7% or $939 million QoQ, and 71.1% or $6.4 billion YoY.

The QoQ decrease is mainly explained by the decline in Other allowances, due to unused checking accounts' overdraft lines of credit.

As mentioned previously, in 2Q19 a provision for contingent liabilities was reported, as requested by the BCRA, corresponding to the declaratory action filed by the Bank related to inflation adjustments in the Income Tax Return presented for fiscal year 2018

Income from associates

This line reflects the results from non-consolidated associate companies. During 2Q20, a profit of $188 million has been reported, mainly due to the participation in BBVA Consolidar Seguros S.A., Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A., and Interbanking S.A.

Income tax

Income tax charges decreased $243 million compared to 2Q19 and $432 million compared to 1Q20, reporting a loss of $2.3 billion and an effective rate of 44%. The increment in such rate compared to the regulatory 30% is caused by the difference between BCRA accounting regulation and tax regulations related to inflation adjustments, resulting in different taxable incomes.

Private loans totaled $250.4 billion, growing 5.4% or $12.8 billion QoQ, and decreasing 5.0% or $13.3 billion YoY.

Loans to the financial sector fell 33.7% QoQ, mainly because of the reduction in call money transactions of less than 30 day duration with subsidiaries.

Loans to the private sector in pesos grew 11.1% in 2Q20, and 30.2% in the year. Loans to the private sector denominated in foreign currency fell 19.6% QoQ and 64.2% YoY, mainly driven by the prudential reduction in USD-denominated loans after August 2019 turmoil, and by the increase in demand for credit in pesos. These loans, measured in U.S. dollars, fell 26.4% and 78.4% QoQ and YoY respectively. The increase in the currency exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar was 9.3% QoQ and 66.0% YoY.

Considering retail loans (mortgage, pledge, consumer and credit card loans), these have decreased 0.2% QoQ and grown 0.9% YoY. In the quarter, the deepest declines are reflected in pledge loans and consumer loans (15.2% and 5.5% respectively), offset by the increase in credit card consumption boosted by zero rate credit lines and Ahora 12 programs.

Commercial loans (including overdrafts, discounted instruments, receivables from financial leases, loans for the prefinancing and financing of exports, and other loans) grew 11.6% QoQ and fell 10.3% YoY. The quarterly increase is mainly explained by a strong growth in Other loans (especially company loans or "Préstamos a Interés Vencido") which increased 63.2% or $18.5 billion, followed by discounted instruments that grew 9.0% or $2.0 billion QoQ. This growth is partially offset by the 24.8% fall in Loans for the prefinancing and financing of exports, and a 14.5% fall in Receivables from financial leases.

  1. Non-performingloans include: all loans to borrowers classified as "Deficient Servicing (Stage 3)", "High Insolvency Risk (Stage 4)", "Irrecoverable" and/or "Irrecoverable for Technical Decision" (Stage 5) according to BCRA debtor classification system

In 2Q20, asset quality ratio or NPL (total non-performing portfolio / total portfolio) was 1.56%. This ratio was positively affected by the temporary flexibility in BCRA regulation regarding debtor classification during the COVID-19 pandemic, which extends grade periods in 60 days before a loan is classified as non- performing, and suspends the mandatory reclassification of clients that have an irregular performance with other institutions but a regular performance with the Bank. The NPL ratio was also benefited by the Molinos Cañuelas debt write-off.

The coverage ratio (allowances / total non-performing portfolio) increased to 269.38% in 2Q20, from 186.91% in 1Q20. This is explained by a decrease in non-performing loans, partly due to the Molinos Cañuelas write-off (which is greater than the increase in allowances as a consequence of the implementation of impairment models), and the change in BCRA regulation regarding debtor classification.

* ECL: Expected credit loss

Note: to be consistent with Financial Statements, it must be recorded from the beginning of the year instead of the quarter

Allowances for the Bank in 2Q20 reflect expected losses driven by the adoption of the IFRS 9 standards as of January 1, 2020, except for debt instruments issued by the nonfinancial government sector which were temporarily excluded from the scope of such standard.

The financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries PSA and VWFS were prepared considering the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA for Group "B" financial institutions, without considering the model established in paragraph 5.5. "Impairment" of IFRS 9 for fiscal years commencing on and after January 1, 2021.

During 2Q20, total deposits were $373.3 billion, recording an increase of 8.0% or $27.7 billion QoQ, and an 8.3% or $33.9 billion contraction YoY.

Private sector deposits in 2Q20 were $367.5 billion, increasing 7.6% or $25.9 billion QoQ, and decreasing 8.5% or $34.0 billion YoY.

Private non-financial sector deposits in pesos totaled $253.9 billion, growing 14.6% or $32.3 billion QoQ, and 20.1% or $42.5 billion YoY. This is mainly explained by the strong growth in time deposits, savings accounts and checking accounts, which offsets the quarterly fall in interest-bearing checking accounts (included in savings accounts).

Private non-financial sector deposits in foreign currency expressed in pesos fell 5.3% or $6.4 billion QoQ and 40.2% or $76.5 billion YoY. Measured in U.S. dollars, these deposits fell 13.4% QoQ and 64.0% YoY. During 2Q20 U.S. dollar deposit withdrawal continued, but at a much lower pace than what was observed during the last months of 2019.

Fee suspension extended. (Communication "A" 7044, 06/18/2020). The BCRA extended until September 30, 2020 (previously June 30) the regulation stating that financial institutions cannot charge fees for transactions done through ATMs (Communication "A" 6945).

The BCRA also states that unpaid instalments deferral to maturity will apply to loans maturing until September 30, 2020 (previously June 30).

Exclusion of concepts from credit risk fractioning regulation (Communication "A" 7045, 06/18/2020). The BCRA stated that primary underwritings of national public securities to be settled with funds from the capital and interest payments of other national public securities, shall be excluded from the credit risk fractioning limits calculation (as long as the period between underwriting and settlement is no longer than 3 business days).

Reserve requirements. Consolidated calculation. (Communication "A" 7046, 06/18/2020). The BCRA overruled the consolidated calculation of the reserve requirements in pesos for the periods July/August and December/January of the following year.

Minimum holding period. (CNV General Resolution 843, 06/22/2020). The National Securities Commission (CNV in Spanish) stated that purchase and sale of securities in the local market with foreign

- 16 -

settlement shall be compensated. A 5 business day minimum holding period is established for securities transferred from abroad and that will be settled in foreign currency.

Account closures. Extension. (Communication "A" 7048, 06/23/2020). The suspension in account closures and disabling of checking accounts for lack of fine payment is extended until December 31, 2020.

Subsidized loans to non-SME clients. Reserve requirements. (Communication "A" 7054, 06/25/2020). As of July 1, 2020, financing at 24% is enabled for non-SMEclients, as long as the funds are used for the purchase of machinery and equipment produced by local SMEs. These financings are included in the reserve requirement reduction and calculation of daily net position of LELIQ, which limit is additionally reduced in 5%.

Repurchase agreement (REPO) with the BCRA collateral. (Communication "A" 7063, 07/03/2020). The BCRA incorporated corporate bonds as eligible collateral for its daily REPO transactions. As a condition, these must have been traded in the last five business days. The financial institution using corporate bonds as collateral cannot use securities that have been issued or secured by the same institution, or any other that is closely economically linked to it.

Exclusion of USD linked bonds from the Foreign Currency Global Net Position (PGNME). (Communication "A" 7071, 07/16/2020). The BCRA stated that as of July 20, 2020, securities linked to the change in price of a foreign currency, must be excluded from the calculation of the PGNME.

Special cautions on USD wire transfers. (Communication "A" 7072, 07/16/2020). The BCRA requested special caution previous to the realization of a wire transfer, in particular, over target accounts denominated in foreign currency, as of the second transfer received during the same calendar month. The institution must defer the accreditation of funds until all non-compliancesuspicions related to the purchase of foreign currency by individuals are cleared.

Excess LELIQ position increment against PGNME margin (Communication "A" 7077, 07/30/2020). As of August 1, 2020, the excess net position in LELIQ can be incremented by the positive difference between: the maximum limit of the cash position within the Net positive Global Currency Position (the highest between USD 2.5 million, or 4% of the month's regulatory capital, known as Responsabilidad Pratrimonial Computable or RPC) and the current cash position observed. In the case that the difference is negative, the increment in limit is zero.

Foreign exchange operations. (Communication "A" 7079, 07/30/2020). The BCRA extends until August 31, 2020, the period of validity of regulation stated in Communication "A" 7030 and amendments, which restrict the access of importers to the foreign exchange market.

New subsidized credit lines. (Communication "A" 7082, 08/06/2020). The BCRA stated that financial institutions must grant "Credits at subsidized rates" to all companies that request them, as long as they are in the beneficiary list that will be released by the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP). The interest rate will be determined according to the year over year increment in the company's revenues (with a maximum rate of 15%). The Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Productivo (FONDEP) will recognize an annual nominal rate equivalent to the difference between 15% and the interest rate paid by the company, in line with the previously mentioned limits.

Additionally, financial institutions must grant "Zero rate culture credits". The AFIP will release the list of eligible beneficiaries, the amount and institution that will grant the loan. The nominal annual rate recognized by the FONDEP to financial institutions will be 15%.

For both credit lines, reserve requirements can be reduced in 60% of the total amount of financings granted. The beneficiaries will not have access to the foreign exchange market, cannot settle securities in foreign currency, nor be granted time deposits at the minimum interest rate.
