Management Commentary

Commenting on second quarter 2023 results, Patricio Supervielle, Grupo Supervielle’s Chairman & CEO, noted: “We delivered positive ROAE improving to 17.6% in real terms as we continue executing on our strategic plan and progressing on our path to profitability while at the same time navigating a complex macroeconomic and political environment. ROAE also benefited from a lower turnover tax burden starting this quarter.

NIM reached 26.6% driven mainly by a 20.4% sequential increase in net financial income primarily due to a combination of higher volumes and spreads. This high NIM continued into July driven by our strong asset and liability management capabilities. We increased the spread of short-term central bank securities portfolio leveraging the 16% expansion of our peso deposit base. This sequential growth in deposits was aided by public sector deposits, corporates, and the positive impact from the thirteenth salary. This more than offset a contraction in the loan book as we maintained a prudent approach to lending prioritizing high value customers.

Reflecting our focus on asset quality, the NPL ratio declined to a low of 2.5% this quarter. We maintained stringent credit scoring criteria focusing on loans to payroll, entrepreneurs and middle-market customers with early delinquency improving month over month.

Overall, we reported a solid first half of the year, with ROE in real terms at 9.9%. During 1H23 and compared with the same period a year ago, Net financial income increased 9%, loan loss provisions declined 37% reflecting a healthier loan mix, while personnel and administrative expenses declined 8% as we made significant progress in streamlining our branch network and capturing significant efficiencies while further enhancing the customer experience. Lower costs together with strong revenues resulted in an improvement in the efficiency ratio to 67% from 78% in 1H22.

Today, our branches serve a larger number of clients more efficiently while our digital capabilities have allowed us to maintain a consolidated footprint and expand our reach across the country. This year we have also been focusing on cross-selling products to our existing base of individual customers. Additionally, we see many opportunities ahead to continue serving our customers through the launch of new products and services. Starting June 3, we expanded the timeframe our customers can invest in money market funds through our App to 24/7 from 24/5, helping protect transactional funds against inflation, and positioning us as the first bank to offer this convenient service. This initiative has been well received with 90,000 clients already investing through this platform.

Looking ahead, in our view the recent Primary elections reflect a desire of Argentine citizens for a sustainable economic model with a lower tax burden and tighter monetary and fiscal discipline. After the presidential elections we look forward to a more business friendly environment while position to grow and to further develop our franchise supported by our 15.7% Tier 1 capital ratio. Our capital is hedged against inflation,” concluded Mr. Supervielle.

In addition, both Banking Associations ADEBA and ABA and the majority of financial institutions operating in these jurisdictions followed suit.
