BBVA Argentina 4Q19 net income was $7.4 billion, 33.0% or $3.7 billion lower than 3Q19, and 153.5% or $4.5 billion higher than 4Q18. The Quarter-over-Quarter (QoQ) decrease is mainly explained by loan loss allowances corresponding to Molinos Cañuelas y Compañía Argentina de Granos' ("Molca" as a whole) provisions, and the increase in operating expenses arising from the set-up of the Bank's efficiency plan.

Net income for 2019 was $31.4 billion, 223.0% higher Year-over-Year (YoY), representing a ROE of 60.6% and a ROA of 7.9%. If 1Q19 Prisma sale is not taken into consideration, accumulated ROE and ROA for 2019 would have been 55.6% and 7.2% respectively.

As of 4Q19, net operating income was $21.8 billion, 2.4% or $508 million higher QoQ, and 94.9% or $10.6 billion higher YoY.

Operating income in 4Q19 was $7.6 billion, decreasing $2.9 billion or 27.9% QoQ, and growing $3.9 billion or 103.6% YoY.

Net interest income for 4Q19 was $16.8 billion, increasing 7.8% or $1.2 billion QoQ, and $8.3 billion or 98.8% YoY. The lower interest income is partially offset by a decrease in interest expenses due to lower interest rates and an increase in sight deposits.

In 4Q19, interest income totaled $25.9 billion, 4.2% lower than 3Q19 and 46.3% lower than 4Q18.

Income from public securities contracted 30.9% or $3.0 billion compared to 3Q19, and grew 51.9% or $2.3 billion compared to 4Q18. This is due to a decrease in the BCRA's monetary policy rate, together with a lower position in BCRA instruments (LELIQ) derived from BCRA restrictions in regards to integrating sight deposits reserve requirements with these securities. 87% 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 $15.4 billion, 1.5% or $221 higher compared to 3Q19, led by interests from documents, overdrafts and credit cards. The last is boosted by the Ahora 12 program, which was extended until March 2020.

Income from CER/UVA adjustments grew 72.1% QoQ and 57.7% YoY. This is mainly explained by an increase in inflation during the last quarter, compared to the previous quarter and year.

Interest expenses reached $9.1 billion, 20.4% lower QoQ and 1.6% lower YoY.

Interests from time deposits explain 85.5% of total interest expenses, decreasing 11.7% compared to 3Q19 and increasing 24.5% compared to 4Q18.

In 4Q19 net fee income grew 4.0% or $62 million compared to 3Q19 and decreased 4.4% or $75 million compared to 4Q18.

Fee income totaled $5.1 billion, increasing 9.4% QoQ, mainly driven by the increment in credit card fees, pushed by end-of-year spending and the effect of salary bonus payments. These increase the activity in sight accounts (Linked to liabilities).

Fee expenses grew 12.1% QoQ and 70.9% YoY. This is driven by an increase in client-acquisition campaign costs, and greater processing and credit card benefit costs (both including U.S. dollar expense components)

In 4Q19, net income from financial instruments at fair value (FV) through P&L was $2.0 billion, increasing $527 million or 36.8% QoQ.

This increase is mainly driven by income from private securities, explained by an update of Prisma valuation and the result of the put option on Prisma sale valuation ($685 million).

Interest rate swaps results fell 315.4% or $123 million due to Rombo deconsolidation.

Results from corporate bonds increased 215.8% or $82 million due to a good trading performace.

During 4Q19, administrative expenses plus personnel benefits totaled $7.9 billion, 11.0% and 65.5% higher than 3Q19 and 4Q19 respectively. This is mainly explained by an increase in personnel benefits and incurred expenditures in the quarter.

Personnel benefits increased 13.2% or $480 million compared to 3Q19, and 60.7% or $1.6 billion compared to 4Q18. This was driven by current salary increase agreements based on labor union negotiations (53.8% salary increase in respect to December 2018) and their compensation schemes.

In 4Q19 administrative expenses increased 8.8% QoQ and 71.1% YoY. This increase is explained by incurred costs in upgrading branches and equipment, together with an increment in U.S. dollar costs.

The accumulated efficiency ratio as of 4Q19 was 37.0%, higher than the 35.6% reported on 3Q19 and significantly improving compared to the 48.9% reported on 4Q18.

As of 4Q19, other operating expenses increased 70.4% or $2.3 billion QoQ, and 125.1% or $3.0 billion YoY.

In line with the digital transformation process, the Bank has decided to implement a plan that aims to generate higher efficiency and agility in decision-making processes. This plan involves expenses that will be undertaken during 2020, and are reflected on the "Other operating expenses" line.

Income from associates

This line reflects the results from non-consolidated associate companies. During 4Q19, a profit of $214 million has been reported, mainly due to participation in BBVA Consolidar Seguros S.A., Rombo and Interbanking S.A.

Income tax

Income tax charges decreased $1.0 billion compared to 4Q18 and increased $942 million compared to 3Q19, reporting a loss for $366 million. In 3Q19 the Income Tax Law effect, aimed to recognize tax inflation adjustments, was incorporated.

BBVA Argentina's effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2019, was 12%, while the effective rate for the year ended December 31 2018 was 29%. The decrease was driven by inflation adjustments in income tax calculation.

Private loans totaled $201.5 billion, decreasing 4.9% or $10.4 million during the quarter, and growing 14.5% or $25.4 billion during the year.

It is important to mention that during 4Q19, BBVA Argentina was no longer consolidating Rombo's activity, which explains most of the decrease in pledge loans. If Rombo had not been consolidated in 3Q19, private loans to the non-financial sector would have decreased 1.6% instead of 4.9%.

Loans to the financial sector grew 86.3% in 4Q19, mainly explained by the increase in call money transactions plus a decrease in call money given to subsidiaries.

Private loans denominated in pesos grew 9.8% in QoQ and 43.6% YoY. Private loans denominated in foreign currency fell 40.5% QoQ and 39.9% YoY, driven by a prudential reduction in USD- denominated loans after August 2019 turmoil. These loans, measured in U.S. dollars, fell 42.8% and 62.1% compared to 3Q19 and 4Q18 respectively.

Within retail loans (including mortgages, pledge, personal and credit card loans), credit card loans increased the most, 35.4% QoQ and 72.6% YoY. Mortgage loans reflect the increment in inflation.

In commercial loans (including overdrafts, documents, leasing and other loans) decreased 21.3% QoQ and 16.1% YoY, mainly explained by a prudential reduction in pre-financing and export financing in U.S. dollars. Documents was the only line reflecting growth, increasing 7.7% or $1.7 million QoQ and falling 2.5% or $617 million YoY.

The increase in the asset quality ratio is explained by a decrease in total loans, while non-performing loans remain stable. Total loans decrease is mainly driven by a fall in foreign currency denominated commercial loans since August 2019.

Public sector exposure (excluding BCRA) was $16.1 billion, decreasing 10.2% or $1.8 billion QoQ, and 32.3% or $7.7 billion YoY.

Short-term liquidity is allocated in BCRA instruments, which decreased 45.2% or $27.3 billion compared to 3Q19, and grew 63.6% or $12.9 billion compared to 4Q19.

Exposure to the public sector (excluding BCRA), which represented 3.7% of total assets, recorded a $2.4 billion or 80bps decrease. This is mainly explained by the 15% of capital payments from dollar- linked Treasury notes (LELINK, reprofiled in August 28, 2019), as of December 4, 2019.

Exposure to the public sector (excluding BCRA) is the lowest in the last 8 quarters, mostly concentrated in peso-denominated notes or dollar-linked notes in pesos.

Other events

Relevant events

  • On February 18, 2020, BBVA Argentina has decided to schedule the Annual Ordinary and
    Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting for April 7, 2020. A $2.5 billion cash dividend distribution will be considered, corresponding to the partial write off of the optional reserve fund for future profit distribution. This distribution is subject to BCRA's prior approval.

Inflation adjustment

  • BBVA Argentina's management assesses that the Bank's equity and income statements can differ significantly by the application of IAS 29. As of December 31th 2019, and for the twelve month period ended on such date, the Bank has estimated the impact on financial statements of the re- expression in constant currency, which would result in an equity increment of $11.9 billion, totaling $74.9 billion, and a decrease in net income in $23.9 billion, totaling $3.7 billion. For 2018, equity would have increased $10.7 billion, totaling $49.3 billion, and net income would have decreased $17.1 billion, resulting in a $7.5 billion loss.

Main regulatory changes

New BCRA regulation

  • As of December 19th, 2019, through Communication "A" 6846, the BCRA creates a new USD- linked instrument denominated in pesos, through which banks will be able to give financing to small and medium-sized companies' exports. Banks will be able to hedge the FX risk with contracts over those instruments. The amount of USD-linked loans that exceeds that of USD-linked deposits, will not be taken into account for the Foreign Exchange Currency Position (PGNME in Spanish).
  • As of January 16th, 2020, through Communication "A" 6871, the BCRA established the creation of a UVA (Purchasing Value Unit adjusted by CER) denominated time deposits, with an option of withdrawal after 30 days passed and before maturity. These deposits will have a minimum maturity period of 90 days. They will pay a freely agreed rate that can't be below 1% (nominal annual rate). In the case of withdrawal before maturity, the paid rate will be 70% of the last 5 working-day average of the shortest LELIQ at the time of incorporation.

BCRA regulatory requirements

  • As of January 2nd, 2020, through Communication "A" 6857, the BCRA stated that the reduction limit on reserve requirements would be increased for financial institutions participating of the
    "AHORA 12" Program (20% of the sum of total financing in pesos give within that program), going from 1% to 1.5% of concepts in pesos included in the reserve requirement, in average, of the previous month in count.
  • As of January 9th, 2020, through Communication "A" 6858, the BCRA modifies the minimum reserve requirements, in effect as of February 1st 2020. This enables Group A financial institutions to reduce their reserve requirement for an equivalent amount of 30% of peso financing to SMEs given at a rate below 40%. At the same time, that deduction can't exceed 2% of concepts in pesos that are subject to reserve requirement regulations, in average, of the previous month in count.
  • In line with Communication "A" 6871, the BCRA enables financial institutions to exclude the withdrawal optionality in UVA adjusted time deposits from the reserve requirement count.
  • As of January 30th, 2020, through Communication "A" 6884, the BCRA sets with effect from
    February to December 2020, a special treatment for UVA financing. Financial institutions will have to deduct from the contract instalment, the 11/12 part of the increment that it would have had between August 2019 and January 2020. This deduction will decrease in 1/12s per month until it converges to the value of the contractual instalment for January 2021. Additionally, reserve requirements are reduced for financing that institutions decide to give special treatment to, requiring 0.8% of the contractual amount as of the end of November 2019.
  • As of February 13, 2020, through Communication "A" 6901, the BCRA established the reduction on regulatory reserve requirements for SMEs financing at 35% or lower, in effect as of February 17, 2020. Financing at 40% agreed before February 16th can still be deducted from reserve requirements until maturity.

Laws and decrees

  • As of December 20th, 2019, the Government's Executive Branch decided, through Decree
    49/2019, that capital payments of U.S. dollar denominated Treasury Notes (LETEs) will be postponed to August 31st, 2020. Thus, the payment scheduled planned for these notes in the debt reprofiling of August 2019 was revoked.
  • On December 23rd, 2019, the Congress passed the Law 27,541 "Solidarity and Productive Reactivation Law as a part of Public Emergency" which was proposed by the National Government.
    Main changes included:
  1. The "Para una Argentina Inclusiva y Solidaria" (PAIS) tax is created. This implies a 30% tax on the purchase of US dollars for hoarding (additional to the purchase limit of USD 200 established in October 2019), and for purchases done abroad through credit cards, for a period of 5 years. The tax will be 8% in the case of digital services in U.S. dollars. Health expenses, books, learning platforms and state-run research projects will be exempt of the PAIS tax.
  1. Inflation adjustment of companies' 2019 balance sheets. Impact on balance sheets is reduced to half through this correction. Only one sixth of the impact can be allocated on 2019, the rest will be distributed among the next five years.
  1. Employer contribution rates are fixed to 2019 values (20.4% for commercial and services sectors, 18% for the rest), revoking the schedule of decreasing rates on the 2017 tax reform.
    1. The scheduled decrease in enterprise income tax from 30% to 25% was revoked (keeping the income tax rate at 30% as of 2020). The additional rate charged for dividend payments to parent companies decreased from 13% to 7%.
  • As of January 20th, 2020, the Ministries of Finance and Economy led a voluntary bond swap of LECAPs (Treasury capitalizing notes in pesos) with original maturity on August 30th 2019, September 13th 2019, October 11th 2019, November 25th 2019 and February 28th 2020, which had been reprofiled through Decree 596 on August 30th 2019. The swap implied exchanging these notes for BADLAR adjusted notes (LEBADs), with maturities on September 18th 2020 and December 22nd 2020.
  • As of February 3rd 2020, the Ministry of Economy called for a voluntary swap of the Dual Currency Argentine Bonds (AF20) maturing on February 13rd 2020. These could be exchanged for four different instruments: CER+1% adjusted bonds, BADLAR + margin bonds, USD-linked+4% bonds or dual currency bonds, all of them maturing on 2021.
  • As of February 11th 2020, and after two failed Dual Currency Argentine Bond (AF20) swaps, the Economy Ministry decided to postpone capital payments and non-accrued interests on this bond to September 30th 2020. Individuals having up to USD 20,000 on these bonds, which have been purchased before December 20th 2019, will receive capital and interest payments in the original due time.
