Management Commentary

Commenting on fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 results, Patricio Supervielle, Grupo Supervielle's Chairman &

CEO, noted: "Our flexible business model allowed us to adapt to the many challenges posed by the pandemic, the deep recession that ensued and a shifting regulatory framework. During 2020, we achieved low double digit ROAE adjusted for inflation and including comprehensive income. We also further increased our coverage ratio throughout the year while maintaining strong liquidity levels, despite operating in a very difficult environment. In this complex scenario, we continued to manage the credit cycle, leveraging our flexibility with the goal of balancing risk and profitability. In parallel, we diligently worked on executing our transformation strategy which is not only aimed at driving sustainable growth as demand resumes but at enhancing our current competitiveness."

"Throughout the quarter we continued to see pressure on NIM, impacted by higher cost of funds resulting from the floor on interest rates on time deposits and subsidized rates on loans. We expect these conditions to continue in the near term."

"On our digital transformation, we are accelerating the initiatives that were already in motion, both in our digital and automatic channels, given the significant growth of active digital customers at the bank, increasing by 73% since the end of 2019. Moreover, we have extended the thorough and profound digital transformation of our business across all subsidiaries under the rubric of three axes: i) the generation of a modern technological architecture, ii) a review of our entire branch network infrastructure, and iii) the addition of capabilities to connect to third parties and prepare for open banking. The successful implementation to date has benefitted from a deep cultural transformation across the Company, consolidating the adoption of agile working methodologies and a new operating model that places the customer at the center of all we do."

"Over the next two years, we plan to step-up investments to scale innovations and advance on the progress started in 2020. In terms of our branch infrastructure, our goal is to evolve our network by improving the client experience driven by a mix of higher digital adoption, as well as effectively serving our customers in expanded 24-hour service lobbies. Pilot programs we have been implementing are demonstrating significant improvements in the Net Promoter Score and efficiency and we plan to roll out these enhancements across our branch network.

We are also investing in technology to facilitate API architecture to enable integration with internal and external developers. As an example, during the first quarter of this year we plan to integrate several new financial services through fintechs within our homebanking and mobile channels."

"Looking ahead, on the macro front we see the economy beginning to rebound following the 10% GDP contraction last year and in the context of better external conditions, particularly higher commodity prices. These are positively impacting export activity and providing a solid foundation for real GDP to post an expected recovery above 7% in 2021. Recovery, however, is still subject to advances in the vaccination program to contain the health crisis, the resumption of IMF negotiations and the regulatory framework."

"We are confident that the advancements on our digital transformation, including evolving our branch model, will

place Grupo Supervielle in a position of strength to drive profitable growth when loan demand resumes." concluded

Mr. Supervielle.

ROAE calculated including Other Comprehensive Income was 11% in 4Q20.

Fourth quarter 2020 & FY20 Highlights

PROFITABILITY

Attributable Net income of AR$657.4 million in 4Q20, compared to a loss of AR$703.7 million in 4Q19 and a profit of AR$957.0 million in 3Q20.

4Q20 QoQ performance was explained by: i) a lower financial margin resulting from the increase in cost of funds due to the full impact in the quarter of higher market interest rates and minimum rates on time deposits while yields on loans remained stable impacted by credit lines at subsidized rates, ii) lower volumes in Central Bank Securities holdings and Repo transactions, and iii) higher administrative expenses in connection with initiatives related to the acceleration of the digital transformation process. These were partially offset by: i) lower LLPs following the creation of Covid-19 anticipatory provisions in previous quarters, and ii) lower personnel expenses despite some non-recurring charges on severances and early retirement program in the quarter.

Other Comprehensive Income to market value at each revaluation date partially offset by the result from the changes in the purchasing power of the currency on securities classified as Available for Sale and Income tax related to this line item.
