Access earnings results, analyst expectations, report, slides, earnings call, and transcript.
Overview
The earnings call highlights several negative factors: rising NPL ratio, significant decline in NIM, net loss, and regulatory uncertainties. The Q&A reveals optimism for future growth but lacks specific details, and management's vague responses on key issues add uncertainty. Despite some positive elements like deposit growth and potential long-term ROE improvement, the immediate financial challenges and lack of clear guidance suggest a negative short-term market reaction.
Key Financial Performance
Net Loss ARS 50.3 billion in Q3 2025, attributed to systemic pressures, high real interest rates, and historic reserve requirements ahead of elections.
Loan Growth 8% in real terms year-over-year, led by corporate segment growth, while retail declined slightly due to tightened origination standards.
Non-Performing Loan (NPL) Ratio 3.9%, an increase driven by the retail side, though the NPL ratio for individuals remains below the retail loan share.
Deposit Growth 15% quarter-on-quarter in real terms and over 40% year-on-year, with dollar deposits up 31% sequentially, driven by a remunerated account strategy.
Net Financial Income Declined 43% sequentially due to increased funding costs (ARS 56 billion), bond price volatility, and higher reserve requirements.
Net Interest Margin (NIM) Peso NIM declined to 11.7% and total NIM fell to 10.8%, down 1,100 and 1,000 basis points quarter-over-quarter, respectively, due to high real interest rates and reserve requirements.
Operating Costs Declined 2% quarter-on-quarter and 12% year-to-date in real terms, reflecting tight cost control measures.
CET1 Ratio 13.2% at quarter-end, rising to 14.5% in October, supported by lower deferred asset tax deductions.

Risk or Challenges
Systemic pressures and tight monetary policy: The company faced systemic pressures and a very tight monetary policy characterized by unsustainably high real interest rates and historic reserve requirements ahead of the elections. This led to significant compression of financial margins and constrained lending capacity.
Net financial loss: The company recorded a net loss of ARS 50.3 billion in Q3 2025, driven by macroeconomic and regulatory challenges.
High funding costs: One-day interest rates peaked at over 90%, and 150% when adjusted by reserve requirements, leading to a funding cost increase of ARS 56 billion. This created a temporary squeeze on spreads as deposit rates adjusted immediately while loan repricing lagged.
Increased reserve requirements: The Central Bank raised minimum reserve requirements by over 23 percentage points and moved compliance from a monthly average to a daily basis, negatively impacting liquidity by nearly ARS 21 billion.
Negative spread on UVA mortgage portfolio: The sharp rise in real interest rates generated a negative spread on the UVA mortgage portfolio, impacting financial margins by close to ARS 18 billion.
Weakened asset quality: The NPL ratio rose to 3.9%, mainly driven by the retail segment, reflecting weakened asset quality.
Challenging economic environment: The company anticipates an NPL ratio of 4.7% to 5.1% for the full year, reflecting ongoing challenges in asset quality and consumer trends.
Decline in profitability: Net interest margin (NIM) declined significantly, with peso NIM falling to 11.7% and total NIM to 10.8%, down 1,100 and 1,000 basis points respectively, quarter-over-quarter.
Regulatory and macroeconomic uncertainty: The company faces uncertainty around reserve requirements, liquidity conditions, and broader macroeconomic frameworks, impacting its ability to provide a clear 2026 outlook.

Key Q&A
Q:What are your loan growth expectations for next year, and can you provide details on private investment announcements?
A:Loan growth this year was constrained by tight monetary conditions, but signs of improvement are visible post-midterm elections. Real loan growth in 2026 is expected to reach 30%-40%, led by corporate and SME lending, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Retail lending is expected to pick up in Q2 2026. Specific private investment details were not provided, but significant activity is noted in mining and oil and gas sectors across various provinces.
Q:What are your ROE expectations for next year and beyond?
A:ROE for 2026 is expected to improve due to factors like gradual releveraging of banks, improved consumer confidence, and reduced liquidity requirements. While the path to 15%-20% ROE may be extended, the company aims for high single-digit or low double-digit ROE in 2026, with medium-term targets achievable by 2027-2028.
Q:Will corporate loans reach 50% of the loan mix in 2026, and how will this affect risk-adjusted NIMs?
A:Corporate loans are expected to exceed 50% of the loan mix in early 2026, with a more balanced mix anticipated by year-end. Risk-adjusted NIMs are expected to recover earlier than late 2026, driven by reduced cost of risk and improved retail loan growth.
Q:What are your thoughts on risk management and potential challenges if the base case scenario does not materialize?
A:Management is optimistic but acknowledges risks like high reserve requirements and volatile global conditions. They are open to strategic alliances, asset sales, and M&A to adapt to challenges. The company is focused on improving resiliency and leveraging its ecosystem for growth.
Q:What are your expectations for NPL dynamics and coverage ratios?
A:NPLs are expected to peak in Q4 2025, with gradual improvement as macro conditions normalize. Coverage ratios are expected to remain above 100%, in the range of 110%-120%.
Q:What actions are needed to capitalize on positive credit growth expectations for 2026?
A:The company plans to increase leverage through international markets and multilaterals, explore peso-linked debt, and potentially rotate assets to grow without consuming capital.
Q:How do you assess liquidity conditions and potential constraints for 2026?
A:Liquidity conditions are expected to improve with increased money demand and deposit growth post-elections. The company plans to tap international markets and leverage its ecosystem to capture stable deposits.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific details on private investment announcements and exact ROE figures for 2026, citing the need for more clarity on monetary policy and regulations post-elections. Additionally, some responses included vague language about long-term strategies and potential risks.
