Presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

Note 1.3 includes further information on the definition of credit risk provision pursuant to the expected credit loss model set by IFRS 9 with scope set by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

(b)Re-expression by inflation of financial statements

 

Pursuant to IAS 29 “Financial Information in hyperinflationary economies”, financial statements of an entity, whose functional currency accounts for that currency of a hyperinflationary economy shall be expressed in terms of a current measurement unit as of the reporting fiscal year closing date regardless of whether such statements are based on the historical cost method or a current cost method. To such ends, in general terms, such entity shall calculate the inflation recorded as from the acquisition date or revaluation date, when applicable, in non-monetary items. Such requirements also include the comparative information of financial statements.

 

With the purpose of stating whether an economy is classified as Hyperinflationary in accordance with IAS 29, the provision sets forth a series of factors to be considered, which includes an accrued inflation rate in three years close to or higher than the 100%. That is the reason why, pursuant to IAS 29, the Argentine economy must be considered as a high inflation economy as from July 1, 2018.

 

In short, pursuant to IFRS 29 re-expression mechanism, monetary assets and liabilities shall not be re-expressed since such assets and liabilities are expressed in a measurement unit in force as of the reported period closing. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments tied to specific agreements, shall be adjusted pursuant to such agreements. Non-monetary items measured at current values at the end of the reported period, such as the realization net value or others, shall be re-expressed. The remaining non-monetary assets and liabilities shall be re-expressed in accordance with a general price index. The loss or earning of a net monetary position shall be included in the net income of the reported period in a separate item. It is worth to be mentioned that earnings or losses over the monetary position of instruments at fair value through profit and loss in OCI is included in Other Comprehensive Income of the period/fiscal year. Upon the sale of such instruments its result is reclassified in the line “Results from sale or withdrawal of financial instruments rated at amortized cost” in the net income of the fiscal year.

 

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6651, issued by the Argentine Central Bank on February 22, 2019, financial statements shall be prepared in a constant currency as from fiscal years starting on January 1, 2020. In this sense, Communication “A” 6849 issued by the Argentine Central Bank sets the re-expression frequency of the accounting information in a homogeneous currency on a monthly basis, and the index utilized to such ends accounts for the National Consumer Index drawn up by INDEC (basis month: December 2016) and for such items with previous initial date, IPIM issued by FACPCE is utilized, pursuant to Ruling JG 517/16. Likewise, transition date, in virtue of the retroactive application has been set on January 1, 2019.

 

(c)Other Changes in the Accounting Framework set by the Argentine Central Bank

 

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6847, financial entities will be allowed to re-categorize, as from Januray 1,2020, instruments of the non-financial public sector rated at fair value through profit and loss and at fair value through profit and loss in OCI at an amortized cost criterion, while utilizing the accounting value of such date as addition value. As for instruments affected by this option, interest accrual and accessories shall be interrupted as long as the accounting value is above its fair value. Upon such measurement, the abovementioned financial instruments, at fair value as of December 31, 2020 there would be no significant impact on equity and results for the year.

 

(d)Definition of a business – Changes in accordance to IFRS 3

 

On October 22, 2018, IASB released changes, which include the definition of business with the purpose of helping entities determine whether a transaction must be recorded as a combination of business or the acquisition of an asset. Such changes:

 

(i)clarifies that, the definition of business, an acquired group of activities and assets, shall include at least a good and a substantial process that together shall contribute significantly to the capacity of developing products;

 

(ii)removes the evaluation of whether market players can replace the lack of processes or goods and continue with the production of products;

 

(iii)add explanatory guidelines and examples to help entities evaluate whether a substantial process has been acquired;

 

(iv)restrict definitions of a business or product by focusing on goods and services granted to clients and remove the reference to the capacity of reducing costs, and

On October 31, 2018, IASB released these changes with the purpose of improving the understanding of the definition of significant or relatively significant, coordinating the drawing up of the definition in IFRS and the Conceptual Framework to avoid any misunderstanding whatsoever that may stem from the different definitions, in that sense, IASB has added support requirements in IAS 1 in the definition to add importance and clarity in its application. Additionally, said board provides existing guides regarding the definition of significant and relatively significant in a single place together with the definition.

 

This change affects mainly section 7 of IAS 1, section 5 of IAS 8 and removes section 6 of IAS 8. Such change is applicable in a prospective manner to annual periods as from January 1, 2020.

 

The Group considers that such changes have no significant effect in its financial statements.

 

(f)Amendment to the Conceptual Framework

 

IASB has issued a new Conceptual Framework. Said change will not imply any changes in the accounting standards in force. However, entities that utilize the Conceptual Framework to define accounting policies for those transactions, events or situations that are not included in the accounting standards in force, apply a new Conceptual Framework as from January 1, 2020, thus evaluating whether their accounting policies are still the most suitable ones.

 

The Group considers that such changes have no significant effect in its financial statements.

 

(g)Change in the Reference Interest rate (IBOR) – Changes to IFRS 9

 

On September 26, 2019, IASB released a change that requires additional disclosures regarding the uncertainty resulting from the reform in the reference interest rate. Such release accounts for the first reaction to potential effects that IBOR reform may produce in financial statements and modifies specific cash flow coverage accounting requirements assuming that the reference interest rate is not modified as a result of such reform. These changes have become effective as from January 1, 2020 with retroactive effect.

 

The Group considers that such changes have no significant effect in its financial statements.

 

(h)Absorption of Negative Non-Allocated Income

 

In accordance with the provisions of Title IV, Chapter III, Section 3, Subsection b) of the Regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (Restated Text 2013), the Company has made use of the option to absorb the accumulated negative results that were generated as a consequence of the inflation adjustment by application of the IAS 29, subject to the ratification of the AGM.

 

Based on the foregoing, and in accordance with the order of absorption of accumulated losses as established in such regulations, Grupo Supervielle’s Net Worth as of January 1, 2020 (transition date) is composed as follows:

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

The following sets forth changes that have not become in force as of December 31, 2020:

 

(a)Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint Venture – changes in IFRS 10 and IAS 28.

 

IASB carried out changes specifically on IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Entities” and IAS 28 “Investments in associates and joint ventures”. Such changes clarify the accounting of sales or contribution of assets between the investor and its associates and joint ventures and confirm that the accounting treatment depends on whether non-monetary assets sold or contributed to the associate or joint venture account for a “business” (as defined in IFRS 3).

 

When non-monetary assets account for a business, the investor will recognize earnings or losses of the sale or contribution of assets. If assets do not account for a business, earnings or losses are recognized by the investor only up to the amount recognized by the investor in the associate or joint venture. These changes are applied with retroactive effect.

 

IASB has decided to delay the application date for this modification until the research project over the interest method is concluded.

 

The Group is evaluating the impact of the application of this new standard.

 

(b)IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts”

 

On May  18, 2017, IASB issued IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” which provides a comprehensive framework based on principles for measurement and presentation of all insurance contracts. The new rule will supersede IFRS 4 Insurance contracts and requires that insurance contracts be measured using cash flows of existing enforcement and that income be recognized as the service is rendered during the coverage period. The standard will come into force for the fiscal years beginning as from November 1, 2023.

 

The Group is evaluating the impact of the application of this new standard.

 

c)Changes in IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 – Reference interest rate reform (IBOR)

 

With the purpose of working out issues resulting from the implementation of the reference interest rate reform (IBOR), on August 27, the IASB released changes in standards. The most important changes are related to the accounting of financial instruments at amortized cost. Such changes require that financial entities update contractual cash flows resulting from the reference interest rate reform through the modification of the effective interest rate pursuant to paragraph B5.4.5 of IFRS 9. Therefore, no impact on income is recorded as a result of such modification. Said change shall be applied only when necessary as a direct consequence of the application of the reference interest rate reform (IBOR). IFRS 16 was also modified; thus, requiring lessees to utilize the same modification when accounting changes in leasing payments to be produced as a result of the reference interest rate reform (IBOR). Such changes will become effective as from January 1, 2021.

 

The Group is assessing the impact of said new standard.

 

1.3 Impairment of financial assets

 

The Group evaluates, based on a prospective approach, expected credit losses (“ECL”) related to financial assets rated at amortized cost or fair value with changes in another comprehensive income, the exposure resulting from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts with the scope set by Communication “A” 6847 issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

The Group measures ECL of financial instruments reflecting the following:

 

(a)a probability amount, weighed and unbiased, that is defined through the evaluation of a range of possible result;

(b)the temporal value of money; and

(c)the reasonable and sustainable information available at no cost nor excessive effort on the submission date on past events, current conditions and future economic condition forecasts.

 

IFRS 9 sets forth the following “Three stages” model for the impairment based on changes in the credit quality from initial recognition:

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

·      If, on the submission date, the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, the Group will classify such instrument in “Stage 1”.

 

·      If a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) is detected, from its initial recognition, the instrument is moved to “Stage 2”, but such instrument is not deemed to contain a credit impairment.

 

·      If the financial instrument contains credit impairment, it is moved to “Stage 3”.

 

·      For financial instruments in “Stage 1”, the Bank measures ECL at an amount equivalent to the amount of expected credit loss during the useful life term of the asset that result from potential default events within the next 12 months. As for Financial Instruments in “Stage 2” and “Stage 3”, the Group measures ECL during the useful life term of the asset (hereinafter “lifetime”). Note 1.3.1 includes a description of how the Group defines when a significant increase in credit risk has occurred.

 

·      A generalized concept in the measurement of ECL pursuant to IFRS 9 shall be considered prospective information.

 

·      Financial assets with impairment on credit value, either purchased or produced, account for those financial assets which have been impaired since initial recognition. ECL of this type of financial instruments is always measured during the asset lifetime (“Stage 3”).

 

The following chart summarizes the impairment requirements pursuant to IFRS 9 (for financial assets that do not entail impairment on credit value, either purchased or produced:

 

Changes in the credit quality since initial recognition  
 
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3  
(initial recognition) (significant increase of credit
risk since initial recognition)
(Impaired credit)  
ECL over the next

Lifetime ECL  

 

The following describes the Group´s judgements and assumptions for ECL measurement:

 

1.3.1. Significant increase in credit risk

 

The Group considers that a financial asset has experienced a significant credit risk increase when one or more than the following qualitative and quantitative criteria have been observed:

 

Personal and Business Banking

 

·Portfolios between 31 and 90 days past due

·The credit origination score has deteriorated by more than 30% with respect to the current performance score

·Score of behavior less than cut off 1

·Loans and credit cards refinanced under Decree No. 260/2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19) that were impaired at the time of refinancing. Or, loans that were not impaired at the time of refinancing, but deferred more than 5 installments.

·Entrepreneurs portfolio affected by the Sectorial Analysis (explained below).

 

Corporate Banking

 

·Portfolios between 31 and 90 days past due

·Maximum Argentine Central Bank a situation equal to 2

·Credit Ratings C (Probability of default higher than 30%)

·Its rating deteriorated by more than two notes from its credit approval rating.

·Entrepreneurs portfolio affected by the Sectorial Analysis (explained below).

Sectoral Analysis – Covid-19 Risk

 

In virtue of the fact that internal impairment models do not reflect properly Covid-19 impact on the local and global economic situation (See Note 22) as historical information is utilized, a sectoral analysis has been included as additional definition of the significant risk increase.

 

In such analysis, companies’ default risk is evaluated according to the type of industry and the impact such companies have suffered in face of the current economic situation, while taking into account their features, seasonal nature, etc.

 

Finally, the different industries are classified into four types of risk. They are:

 

·Low risk

·Medium risk

·High risk

·Very high risk

 

This additional definition of a significant increase in credit risk has been applied for the SME and E&P segments, for the very high and high risk activities (only for the Single Firm portfolio):

 

Very high risk High risk
Construction Machinery & equipment
Tourism & Gastronomy Iron and steel industry
Real estate Home appliances
Entertainmet Sports
Passenger transport Textile
Professional services  

 

1.3.2. Individual and collective evaluation basis

 

Expected losses are estimated both in a collective and individual manner.

 

The Group´s individual estimation is aimed at calculating expected losses for significantly impaired risks. In these cases, the amount of credit losses is calculated as the difference between expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the operation and the value in the books of the instrument.

 

For collective estimation of expected credit losses, instruments are distributed in groups of assets depending on credit risk features. Exposures within each group are segmented in accordance with the similar features of the credit risk, including the debtor´s payment capacity pursuant to contractual conditions. These risk features need to play a key role in the estimation of future flows of each group. Credit risk features may consider the following factors, among others:

Personal and Businesses Banking

Probability of Default

Personal loans (1)
Credit cards (1)

(2)Probability of default within Corporate Banking is calculated by grouping clients based on the client size for Stage 1 facilities. For Stage 2 and Stage 3, Probability of default is calculated including all segments of Corporate Banking due to the lack of materiality to form a larger group.

 

The credit risk characteristics used to group the instruments are, among others: type of instrument, debtor's sector of activity, geographical area of activity, type of guarantee, aging of past due balances and any other factor relevant to estimating the future cash flows.

 

Grouping of financial instruments is monitored and reviewed on a regular basis by the Credit Risk and Stress Test Area.

 

1.3.3 Definition of default and impaired credit

 

The Group considers that a financial instrument is in default when such instrument entails one or more of the following criteria:

 

Personal and Businesses Banking

 

·Financial instruments delinquent after 90 days in contractual payments.

 

Corporate Banking

 

·Financial instruments delinquent more than 90 days in past due.

·Financial instruments with B.C.R.A. situation greater than or equal to 3.

·Rating C or D.

 

Consumer Finance

 

·Financial instrument more than 90 days past due.

 

These criteria are applied in a consistent manner to all financial instruments and are aligned with the internal definition of defaultused for the administration of credit risk. Likewise, such definition is consistently applied to define PD (“Probability of Default”), Exposure at Default (“EAD”) and Loss Given Default ( “LGD”).

1.3.4. Measurement of Expected Credit Loss – Explanation of inputs, assumptions and calculation techniques

 

ECL is measured on a 12-month or lifetime basis, depending on whether a significant increase in credit risk has been recorded since initial recognition or whether an asset is considered to be credit-impaired. ECL are the discounted product of the Probability of Default (“PD”), Exposure at default (“EAD”) and Loss Given Default (“LGD”), defined as follows::

 

·The PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation (pursuant to the “Definition of default and credit impaired” set forth in Note 1.3.3), either over the next 12 months or over the remaining lifetime (lifetime PD) of the obligation.

 

·EAD is based on the amounts the Group expects to be owed at the time of default, over the next 12 months (12 months EAD) or the remaining lifetime (lifetime EAD). For example, for a revolving commitment, the Group includes the current drawn balance plus any further amount that is expected to be drawn up to the current contractual limit by the time of default, should it occur.

 

·LGD represents the Group´s expectation of the extent of loss on a defaulted exposure. LGD varies by type of counterparty, seniority of claim, availability of collateral or other type of credit support. LGD is expressed as a percentage per unit of exposure at the time of default LGD is calculated on a 12-month or lifetime basis, where 12 month LGD is the percentage of loss expected to be made if the default occurs in the next 12 months and lifetime LGD is the percentage of loss expected to be made if the default occurs over the remaining expected lifetime of the loan.

 

ECL is determined by projecting PD, LGD and EAD for each future month and each individual exposure or collective segment. These three components are multiplied and adjusted for the likelihood of survival (that is, the exposure has not been prepaid or defaulted in an earlier month). This effectively calculates an ECL for each future month, which is then discounted back to the reporting date and summed. The discount rate used inthe ECL calculation is the original effective interest rate or an approximation thereof.

 

The Entity based its calculation of the ECL parameters on internal modelsthat were adapted in order to be compliant with IFRS 9.

 

The Group includes prospective economic information in its definition of DP, EAD and LGD over 12 months or Lifetime. See Note 1.3.5 for the explanation of prospective information and its consideration in the calculation of ECL.

 

1.3.5 Forward-looking information considered in expected credit loss models

 

The evaluation of significant credit increases and the calculation of ECL include prospective information. The Group carried out a historical analysis and identifies key economic variable that affect the credit risk and expected credit losses for each portfolio.

 

Forecasts of these economic variable (“base economic scenario”) are provided on a six-month basis by the Research team of the Group and offer a better estimated outlook of the economy for the next 12 months. The impact of such economic variables on DP and LGD resulted from the statistic regression analysis to understand the impact the changes in these variables has had historically on default rates and LGD components.

 

In addition to the base economic scenario, the Research team of the Group also provides two potential scenarios together with scenario analysis. The number of other scenarios is defined in accordance with the analysis of the main products to ensure the lineal effect between the future economic scenario and related expected credit losses. The number of scenarios and its features are re-evaluated on a six-month basis, except a situation occurs in the macroeconomic framework that justifies a greater regularity.

 

As of January 1, 2020 and as of December 31, 2020, as for its portfolios, the Group concluded that three scenarios have properly captured non-lineal items. Scenario analysis are defined by means of a combination of statistic and know-how judgement analysis, taking into account the range of potential results of which each scenario is representative. The evaluation of credit risk significant increases is carried out by means of the utilization of DP lifetime in the base scenario and other scenarios, multiplied by the related analysis of each scenario, together with qualitative and quantitative and backstop indicators (See Note 1.3.1). The aforementioned is defined if the financial instrument is in Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3 and, therefore, whether to register a 12-month ECL or Lifetime. As with any economic forecast, projections and probabilities of occurrence are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty, and therefore actual results may be significantly different than projected. The Group considers that these forecasts account for its best calculation of potential results and has analyzed the non-lineal and asymmetric impacts within the different portfolios of the Group to establish that chosen scenarios are representative of the range of potential scenarios.

1.3.7 Collateral and other credit enhancements

 

Collateral is an instrument pledged as security for repayment of a loan, to be forfeited in the event of default. The Entity accepts collateral as security before a potential breach on behalf of a debtor occurs.

 

The Argentine Central Bank classifies these guarantees in three types: Preferred “A” (considered self-settleable), Preferred “B” (made up by mortgage or pledge loans) and remaining guarantees (mainly bank guarantees and fines).

 

In virtue of the administration of collateral, the Group relies on a specific area devoted to the review of the legal compliance and suitable instrumentation of received collateral. In accordance with the type of collateral, the guarantors may be people or companies (in the case of mortgages, pledges, fines, guarantees and liquid funds) and international top level Financial Entities (for credit letters stand by).

 

The Group monitors collateral held for financial assets considered to be credit-impaired as it becomes more likely that the Group will take possession of collateral to mitigate potential credit losses.

1.3.8 Allowances for loan loss

 

Allowances for loan losses recognized in the year is affected by a range of factors as follows:

 

·Transfers between Stage 1 and Stage 2 or 3 given financial instruments experience significant increases (or decreases) in credit risk or are impaired over the period, and the resulting “increase” between ECL at 12 months and Lifetime;

·Additional assignments for new financial instruments recognized during the period, as well as write-offs for withdrawn financial instruments;

·Impact on the calculation of ECL of changes in DP, EAD and LGD during the period, resulting from the regular updating of model inputs;

·Impact on the measurement of ECL as a result of changes in models and assumptions;

·Impact resulting from time elapsing as a consequence of the current value updating;

·Conversion to local currency for foreign-currency-denominated assets and other movements; and

·Financial assets withdrawn during the year and application of provisions related to assets withdrawn from the balance sheet during the year.

 

The following charts explain changes in the provision for credit risk between the beginning and end of the year due to the following factors:

1.3.9 Write-off policy

 

The Group writes off, in whole or in part, when it has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include: (i) ceasing enforcement activity and (ii) where the Group´s recovery method is foreclosing on collateral and the value of the collateral is such that there is no reasonable expectation of recovering in full.

 

The Group may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity, The outstanding contractual amounts of such assets written off during the year ended on December 31, 2020 and 2019 amount to 7,198,080 and 5,240,360 respectively.

1.4 Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the accounting standards established by the Argentine Central Bank to establish the Group's accounting policies.

 

The Group has identified the following areas that involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas in which the assumptions and estimates are significant for the consolidated financial statements that are essential for understanding the underlying accounting / financial reporting risks:

GRUPO SUPERVIELLE S.A. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 

Presented on comparative basis 

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

a)            Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments that do not list in active markets are measured through the use of valuation techniques. Such techniques are validated and regularly reviewed by qualified independent personnel of the area that developed such techniques. All models are evaluated and adjusted before being use in order to make sure that results express current information and comparative market prices. As long as possible, models use only observable information; however, factors such as credit risk (own or counterparty), volatilities and correlations require the use of estimates. Changes in assumptions regarding such factors may impact on the fair value reported for financial instruments.

 

b)            Allowances for loan losses and advances.

 

As of January 1, 2020, the Group adopted retroactively to January 1, 2019, with the scope mentioned in Note 1.2.4. (a), section 5.5. of IFRS 9 referring to the impairment of financial assets. In this sense, the Group evaluates the expected credit losses (ECL) on a prospective basis of the credit risk associated with the financial assets measured at amortized cost, to the debt instruments measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, to accounts receivable for leases, as well as commitments and guarantees granted not measured at fair value, with the exception of debt instruments of the Non-Financial Public Sector that are temporarily excluded from the provisions for impairment of financial assets, contained in section 5.5 of IFRS 9, as well as the provisions of Cordial Compañía Financiera S.A. as provided in Communication “A” 6990 of the B.C.R.A.

 

The measurement of expected credit losses is an area that requires the use of complex models and significant assumptions about future economic conditions and credit behavior (for example, the probability that the customer will go into default and that losses will result for the Group). The explanation of the inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used to measure the ECL is presented in more detail in Note 1.3, including the key sensitivities of the ECL to changes in these elements.

 

It should be noted that, in the application of accounting requirements to measure ECL, significant judgments are necessary, such as:

 

(i)  Determination of the criterion of significant increase in credit risk 

(ii)  Choice of appropriate models and assumptions for the measurement of ECL 

(iii) Establishment of the number and relative weight of the prospective scenarios for each portfolio segment and the associated ECL, and 

(iv)  Establishment of groups of similar financial assets for the purpose of measuring ECL.

 

c)            Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

 

Intangible assets with finite lives and property, plants and equipment are amortized or depreciated along their useful lives in a straight-line method. The Group reviews the conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances justify a review of the amortization and remaining depreciation period and whether there are factors or circumstances that imply an impairment in the value of assets that cannot be recovered.

 

The Group has applied the judgment in the identification of impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Group has defined that there was no evidence of impairment for any period included in the consolidated Financial Statements. Given the aforementioned, no recoverable value has been calculated.

 

The evaluation process for potential impairment of an asset of indefinite useful life is subject to and require a significant judgment in many points over the course of the analysis, including the identification of its cash-generating unit, the identification and allocation of assets and liabilities to a cash-generating unit and the definition of their recoverable value. The recoverable value is compared with the carrying value in order to define the non-recoverable portion of such value. When calculating the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit in virtue of the assessment of annual or regular impairment, the Group use estimates and significant judgments on future cash flows of the cash-generating unit. Its cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that account for the best use of its cash-generating unit.

 

Although the Group believes that assumptions and forecasts used are suitable in virtue of the information available for the administration, changes in assumptions or circumstances may require changes in the assessment. Negative changes in assumptions utilized in an impairment tests of indefinite useful life intangible assets may result in the reduction or removal of the excess of fair value over the book value, which would result in the potential recognition of the impairment.

 

The Group decided that it would not be necessary to recognize an impairment loss in indefinite useful life intangible assets under such conditions.

d)     Income tax and deferred tax

 

A significant judgment is required to determine liabilities and assets from current and deferred taxes. The current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authority using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period. The deferred tax is measured over temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and book values at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.

 

Assets from deferred tax are recognized upon the possibility of relying on future taxable earnings against which temporary differences can be used, based on the Senior Management´s assumptions regarding amounts and opportunities of future taxable earnings. Later, it is necessary to determine whether assets from deferred tax are likely to be used and set off future taxable earnings. Real results may differ from estimates, such as changes in tax legislation or the result of the final review of affidavits issued by tax authorities and tax courts.

 

Likely future tax earnings and the number of tax benefits are based on a medium term business plan prepared by the administration. Such plan is based on reasonable expectations.

 

1.5.Changes in loans and other financing

 

Under certain circumstances, the Group renegotiates or changes contractual cash flows of loans granted to clients. In these cases, the Group evaluates whether the new terms are substantially different from initial terms. The Group carries out this practice while taking into account the following:

 

(i)       If the client is in financial difficulties, the Bank evaluates whether such change only reduces contractual cash flows to amounts expected to be paid by the borrower.

(ii)      Significant extension of the term when the borrower does not have financial difficulties.

(iii)     Significant change in the interest rate.

(iv)     Change in the currency in which the loan is denominated.

(v)      Integration of guarantees or credit improvements that significantly affect the credit risk related to the loan.

 

If, after the change, the loan terms are substantially different, the Group withdraws the original financial instrument and recognizes a new asset at fair value and recalculates a new effective interest rate for such asset. Therefore, renegotiation date is considered as the initial recognition date in virtue of the calculation of impairment and the definition of a new significant increase in credit risk. However, the Group also evaluates whether the new recognized asset is considered as an impaired asset, especially when the renegotiation stemmed from the lack of payment capacity on behalf of the client. The differences in the accounting value are recognized in the results as well as losses and earnings resulting from the withdrawal of such financial asset.

 

If the terms of the loan after the change are not substantially different, the renegotiation or change will not produce the withdrawal of the financial asset, and the Group will recalculate the gross accounting value based on reviewed funds flow while recognizing a guarantee or loss from the change in results. The new gross accounting value is recalculated as the value discounted from the modified funds flow at the initial effective interest rate.

 

1.6.Consolidation

 

A subsidiary is an entity (or subsidiary), including structured entities, in which the Group has control because it (i) has the power to manage relevant activities of the subsidiary (ii) has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involment with the subsidiary, and (iii) has the ability to use its power over the subsidiary in order to affect the amount of the investor´s returns. The existence and the effect of the substantive rights, including substantive rights of potential vote, are considered when evaluating whether the Group has power over the other entity. For a right to be substantive, the right holder must have the practical competence to exercise such right whenever it is necessary to make decisions on the direction of the entity’s relevant activities. The Group can have control over an entity, even when it has less voting powers than those required for the majority.

 

Accordingly, the protecting rights of other investors, as well as those related to substantive changes in the subsidiary´ activities or applicable only in unusual circumstances, do not prevent the Group from having power over a subsidiary. The subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date on which control is transferred to the Group, ceasing its consolidation as from the date on which control ceases.

Goodwill is measured as the difference between the net of the amounts at the acquisition date of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, the consideration transferred, the amount of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of an interest in the acquired prior to the acquisition date.

 

The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred by the acquirer, of the liabilities incurred by it with the former owners of the acquiree and of the equity interests issued by the acquirer. Transaction costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which costs have been incurred and services have been received, except for transaction costs incurred to issue equity instruments that are deducted from equity and transaction costs incurred to issue debt deducted from their book value.

As for financial trusts, the Group has evaluated the following:

 

·The purpose and design of the trust

·Identification of relevant activities

·Decision-making process on these activities

·If the rights that the Group owns allow it to direct the relevant activities of the trust

·If the Group is exposed, or is entitled to the variable results from its participation in said trust

·If the Group has the capacity to affect said results through its power over the trust

 

In accordance with the aforementioned, the Group has decided that it holds control on such financial trusts and, therefore, such structured entities have been consolidated.

 

The following chart details the assets and liabilities of Structured Entities that have been consolidated by the Group as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and January 1 2019:

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2020   12/31/2018

Total Liabilities   -    1,995,970    2,181,678 

 

Transactions with non-controlling interest

 

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Group.

 

1.8.Foreign currency translation

 

(a)       Functional and presentation currency

 

Figures included in the consolidated financial statements as per each entity of the Group are expressed in the functional currency, that is, in the currency of the main economic setting where it operates. Consolidated financial ftatements are expressed in Argentine pesos, which is the functional currency and the reporting currency of the Group.

 

(b)       Transactions and balances

 

Transactions in foreign currency are converted in the functional currency at the reference Exchange rate released by the Argentine Central Bank and those carried out in other currencies, at the repo rate in US dollars for the reference Exchange rate released by the Argentine Central Bank. Earnings and losses in foreign currency that result in the liquidation of such transactions and the conversion of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at closing exchange rates, are recognized in the integral income statement, under “Difference of exchange rate in gold and foreign currency”, except when such items are deferred in the shareholders’ equity for transactions classified as cash flow hedging, when applicable.

 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the balances in US dollars were converted at the reference exchange rate determined by the Argentine Central Bank. In the case of foreign currencies other than US dollars, they have been converted to this currency using the types of passes reported by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

1.9.Cash and due from banks

 

Cash and due from banks includes cash available, freely available deposits in local banks and correspondent banks abroad, which are liquid short-term instruments and have a maturity of less than three months from the date of origination.

1.10.Associated

 

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence (directly or indirectly), but not control, generally accompanying a stake of between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method, and are initially recognized at cost. The book value of the associates includes the goodwill identified in the acquisition less accumulated impairment losses, if applicable. Dividends received from associated entities reduce the book value of the investment in them. Other changes subsequent to the acquisition in the Group's participation in the net assets of an associate are recognized as follows: (i) the Group's participation in the gains or losses of associates is recorded in the income statement as profit or loss. by associates and joint ventures and (ii) the Group's share in other comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income and is presented separately. However, when the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group will cease to recognize its share of additional losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's participation in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.

 

1.11.Segment Reporting

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity or a Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), and whose financial information is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker.

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to:

 

(i)             Key personnel of the senior management who account for the main authority in operating decision-making processes and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of operating segments; and

 

(ii)            The Board, who is in charge of making strategic decisions of the Group.

 

1.12.Financial Instruments

 

Initial Recognition and measurement

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset or liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability, such as fees and commissions. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Immediately after initial recognition, an expected credit loss allowance (ECL) is recognized for financial assets measured at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described in note 1.12, which results in an impariment loss being recognized in profit or loss when an asset is newly originated.

 

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities differs from the transaction price on initial recognition, the Group recognizes the difference as follows:

 

-When the fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or based on a valuation technique that only uses data from observable markets, the difference is recognized as a gain or loss.

 

In all other cases, the difference is deferred and the timing of recognition of deferred day one profit or loss is determined individually. It is either amortized over the life of the instrument until its fair value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realized through settlement.

 

Financial Assets

 

a – Debt Instruments

 

Debt instruments are those instruments that meet the definition of a financial liability from the issuer’s perspective, such as loans, government and corporate bonds and, accounts receivables purchased from clients in non-recourse factoring transactions.

 

Classification

 

Pursuant to IFRS 9, the Entity classifies financial assets depending on whether these are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, on the basis of:

 

a)the Group’s business model for managing financial assets, and;

 

b)the cash-flows characteristics of the financial asset

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

Business Model

 

The business model reflects how the Group manages a group of financial assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, whether the Group’s objective is solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets (measured at amortized cost) or is to collect both the contractual cash flows and cash flows arising from the sale of assets (measured at fair value through other comprehensive income). If neither of these is applicable, then the financial assets are classified as part of other business model and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The business model of the Group does not depend on the management’s intentions for an individual instrument. Consequently, such business model is not assessed instrument by instrument, but at a higher aggregated level.

 

The Group reclassifies an instrument when and only when its business model for managing those assets has changed.

 

Therefore, this business model is not evaluated instrument by instrument, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as:

 

-How the business model’s return is evaluated and how financial assets held in that business model are evaluated and reported to the Group’s key personnel.

-The risks affecting the business model’s return (and financial assets held in that business model) and, particularly, the way these risks are managed.

-How the Group’s key personnel is compensated (for instance, if salaries are based on the fair value of the assets managed or on contractual cash flows collected)

-The expected frequency, the value, moment and reasons of sales are also important aspects.

 

The evaluation of the business model is based on reasonably expected scenarios, irrespective of worst-case or stress case scenarios. If after the initial recognition cash flows are realized in a different manner from the original expectations, the Group will not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but it will consider such information for evaluating recent purchases or originations. An instrument’s reclassification is only made when, and only when, an entity changes its business model for managing financial assets.

 

Contractual Cash Flow Characteristics

 

Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to collect contractual cash flows and sell, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the related financial asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Based on the aforementioned, there are three different categories of Financial Assets:

 

i)            Financial assets at amortized cost.

 

Financial assets shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

 

(a)the financial asset is held for collection of contractual cash flows, and

 

(b)the assets’s cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

 

The amortized cost is the amount at which it is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any loss allowance.

 

ii)            Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

 

Financial assets shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when:

 

(a)the financial asset is held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling financial assets and

 

(b)the asset’s cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

GRUPO SUPERVIELLE S.A.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020

Presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

These instruments shall be initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the instrument, and subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising out of changes in fair value shall be included in other comprehensive income within a separate component of equity. Impairment gains or losses or reversal, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses on the instrument’s amortized cost shall be recognized in profit or loss. At the time of sale or disposal, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the income statement. Interest income from these financial assets is determined using the effective interest rate method.

 

iii)            Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise:

 

-Instruments held for trading

-Instruments specifically designated at fair value through profit or loss

-Instruments with contractual cash-flows that do not represent solely payments of principal and interest

 

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and any change in fair value measurement is charged to the income statement.

 

The Group classifies a financial instrument as held for trading if such instrument is acquired or incurred for the main purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the short term, or it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments which are managed together and for which there is evidence of short-term profits or if it is a derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument. Derivatives and trading securities are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value.

 

b – Equity Instruments

 

Equity instruments are instruments that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer’s net assets.

 

Such instruments are measured at fair value through profit and loss, except where the Group’s senior management has elected, at initial recognition, to irrevocably designate an equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. This option is available when instruments are not held for trading. The gains or losses of these instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss, including on disposal. Dividends that result from such instrument will be charged to income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

 

Derecognition of Financial Assets

 

The Group recognizes the write-off of financial assets only when any of the following conditions are met:

 

1.The rights on the financial asset cash flows have expired; or

2.The financial asset is transferred pursuant to the requirements in 3.2.4 of IFRS 9.

 

The Group derecognizes financial assets that have been transferred only when the following characteristics are met:

 

1.The contractual rights to receive the cashflows from the assets have expired or when they have been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

2.The Entity retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows from assets but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to oher entities and transfers subtantially all of the risks and rewards. These transactions result in derecognition if the Group:

 

a.            Has no obligation to make payments unless it collects amounts from the assets;

b.            Is prohibited from selling or pledging the financial assets;

c.            Has an obligation to remit any cash it collects from the assets without material delay.

 

Write Off of Financial Assets

 

The Group reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when it has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety of a portion thereof. A write-off constitues a derecognition event.

Financial Liabilities

 

Classification

 

The Group classifies its financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective rate method, except for:

 

-Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

-Financial liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets which did not qualify for derecognition.

-Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments.

 

Financial Liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss: At initial recognition, the Group can designate a liability at fair value through profit or loss if it reflects more appropriately the financial information because:

 

-The Group eliminates or substantially reduces an accounting mismatch in measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

-if financial assets and financial liabilities are managed and their performances assessed on a fair value basis according to an investment strategy or a documented risk management; or

-if a host contract contains one or more embedded derivatives and the Group has opted for designating the entire contract at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Financial guarantee contract: A guarantee contract is a contract which requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

 

Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of the loss allowance and the unaccrued premium at year end.

 

Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

The Entity derecognizes financial liabilities when they are extinguished; this is, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

 

1.13.Derivatives

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at their fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.

 

All derivative instruments are recognised as assets when their fair value is positive, and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any change in the fair value of derivative instruments is included in the income statement.

 

The Group has not applied hedge accounting in these consolidated financial statements.

 

1.14.Repo Transactions

 

Reverse Repo Transactions

 

According to the derecognition principles set out in IFRS 9, these transactions are treated as secured loans since the risk has not been transferred to the counterparty. Loans granted in the form of reverse repo agreements are accounted for under “Repo Transactions”, classified by counterparty and also by the type of assets received as collateral. At the end of each month, accrued interest income is charged under “Repo Transactions” with its corresponding offsetting entry in “Interest Income.” The assets received and sold by the Group are derecognized at the end of the repo transaction, and an in-kind liability is recorded to reflect the obligation to deliver the security disposed of.

 

Repo Transactions

 

Loans granted in the form of repo transactions are accounted for under “Repo Transactions”, classified by counterparty and also by the type of asset pledged as collateral. In these transactions, when the recipient of the underlying asset becomes entitled to sell it or pledge it as collateral, it is reclassified to “Financial assets pledged as collateral”. At the end of each month, these assets are measured according to the category they had before they were subject to the repo transaction, and results are charged against the applicable accounts, depending on the type of asset. At the end of each month, accrued interest expense is charged under “Repo Transactions” with its corresponding offsetting entry in “Interest-Expenses”.

1.15.Leases

 

Operating leases

 

Leases where the lessor retains a substantial portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of lease incentives) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, the Group recognizes the associated costs such as amortization and expenses.

 

The historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of these items and those expenses are charged to profit or loss during the lease term.

 

The depreciation applied to the leased underlying assets is consistent with the one applied to similar assets’ group. In turn, the Group applies IAS 36 for the application of identified losses

 

Finance leases

 

They have been recorded at the current value of the unearned amounts, calculated according to the conditions agreed in the respective contracts, based on the interest rate implicit in them.

 

Initial measurement

 

The Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease to measure the net investment. This is defined in such a way that the initial direct costs are automatically included in the net investment of the lease.

 

Initial direct costs, other than those incurred by manufacturers or concessionaires, are included in the initial measurement of the net investment of the lease and reduce the amount of income recognized over the term of the lease. The interest rate implicit in the lease is defined in such a way that initial direct costs are automatically included in the net investment in the lease; there is no need to add them separately.

 

The difference between the gross amount receivable and the present value represents the finance income that is recognized over the term of the lease. Finance income from leases is recorded in profit or loss for the year. Impairment losses are recognized in income for the year.

 

1.16.Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less depreciation, except for land and buildings, where the Group adopted the revaluation model. The historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition or building of these items.

 

All other property, plant and equipment were valued at acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciation and / or accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for real estate, for which the Group adopted the revaluation method. The cost includes the expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of these items.

 

Management updates the valuation of the fair value of land, buildings, facilities and machinery (classified as property, plant and equipment), taking into account independent valuations. Management determines the value of property, plant and equipment within a range of fair value estimates and considering the currency in which the market transactions are carried out. The revaluations are carried out with sufficient regularity, in order to ensure that the book value, at all times, does not differ significantly from the fair value of each asset subject to revaluation.

 

The subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of an asset is derecognized when replaced.

 

Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to profit or loss when they are incurred.

The depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, applying annual rates sufficient to extinguish the values of assets at the end of their estimated useful lives. In those cases in which an asset includes significant components with different useful lives, such components are recognized and depreciated as separate items.

 

The following chart presents the useful life for each item included in property, plant and equipment:

 

Property, plant and equipment Estimated useful
life
Buildings 50 Years
Furniture   10 Years
Machines and equipment 5 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Others 5 Years

 

The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

 

a)Result from sale

 

The results for the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the income obtained with the book value of the respective asset. The resulting profits or losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

b)Buildings- Revaluation and historical cost

 

The following table reveals the following information related to the class of assets that have been accounted for at their revalued value, as well as the book values that would have been recognized if the assets had been accounted for under a cost model:

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

In fiscal year 2020, the sum of $ 687,598 is allocated to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

 

1.17.Investment properties

 

Investment properties are composed of buildings held for obtaining a rent or for capital appreciation or both, but is never occupied by the Group.

 

Investment properties are measured at its fair value, and any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value is recognized in profit or loss. Investment properties are never depreciated. The fair value is determined using sales comparison approach prepared by the Group’s management considering a report of an independent valuation expert.

 

Investment properties under the cost approach reflect the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of the asset. They were valued at acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciation and / or accumulated depreciation losses. The cost includes expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of these items.

 

Movements in investment properties for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019 
Income derived from rents (rents charged)   9,719    14,998 
Direct operating expenses of properties that generated income derived from rents   (6,637)   (13,168)
Fair value remeasurement   (92,457)   - 

 

The net result generated by the investment property as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts to a loss of 89,375 and an income of 1,830 respectively, and is recognized under "Other operating income", "Administrative expenses" and "Other operating expenses". in the consolidated comprehensive income statement.

 

Gain and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.

 

1.18.Intangible Assets

 

(a)Goodwill

 

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures account for the excess of the:

 

(i)consideration transferred, valued at fair value as of acquisition date
(ii)amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity; and
(iii)acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity
(iv)over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

 

Goodwill is included in the intangible assets item in the consolidated financial statement.

 

Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but it is annually tested for impairment. Impairment losses are not reverted once recorded. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

 

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill impairment is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount which derives from the fair value of the cash-generating unit.

 

The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using discounted cash flows techniques.

 

(b)Trademarks and licenses

 

Trademarks and licenses acquired separately are initially valued at historical cost, while those acquired through a business combination are recognized at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date..

 

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and / impairment losses, if any. These assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

GRUPO SUPERVIELLE S.A.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020

Presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

Trademarks acquired by the Group have been classified as intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The main factors considered for this classification include the years in which they have been in service and their recognition among industry customers.

 

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are those that arise from contracts or other legal rights that can be renewed without a significant cost and for which, based on an analysis of all the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit of the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the Group. These intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, either individually or at the level of the cash generating unit. The categorization of the indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to confirm if it is still applicable.

 

(c)Software

 

Costs associated with software maintenance are recognized as an expense when incurred. Development, acquisition and implementation costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of the identifiable and unique software that the Group controls are recognized as assets.

 

The development, acquisition or implementation costs initially recognized as expenses for a period are not subsequently recognized as the cost of the intangible asset. The costs incurred in the development, acquisition or implementation of software, recognized as intangible assets, are amortized by applying the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, in a term that does not exceed five years.

 

Goodwill impairment

 

Goodwill is assigned to the Group's cash generating units on the basis of the operating segments.

The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is determined on the basis of its value in use. These method uses cash flow projections based on approved financial budgets covering a period of five years.

 

The key assumptions are related to marginal contribution margins. These were determined on the basis of historic performances, other external sources of information and the expectations of market development.

 

The discount rates used are the respective average cost of capital ("WACC"), which is considered a good indicator of the cost of capital. For each cash generating unit, where the assets are assigned, a specific WACC was determined considering the industry, the country and the size of the business.

 

The main macroeconomic premises used are detailed below:

 

   Real   Forecast   Forecast   Forecast   Forecast   Forecast 
   2020   2021   2022   2023   2024   2025 
Inflation (end of period)   35.6%   46.8%   29.2%   19.6%   18.0%   18.0%
Inflation (average)   44.6%   41.1%   37.7%   24.3%   18.7%   18.0%
Cost of funding (average)   31.3%   40.0%   26.8%   21.5%   18.8%   18.8%
Loan’s interest rate (average)   59.4%   57.9%   54.8%   50.1%   47.6%   46.0%

 

Goodwill has been tested annually for impairment. No impairment adjustments have been determined over these assets as a result of the tests performed.

The sensitivity analysis for the cash-generating unit to which the Goodwill was allocated was based on a 1% increase in the weighted average cost of capital. The Group concluded that no impairment loss would need to be recognized on the Goodwill in the segment under these conditions.

 

1.19.Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes the acquisition costs (net of discounts, rebates and similar), as well as other costs that have been incurred to bring the inventories to their current location and conditions to be commercialized. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of sale.

 

The inventories’ net realizable values are reviewed and adjusted if carrying amount is greater than its net realizable value at the end of each reporting period.

 

The Group establishes an allowance for obsolete inventory and low turnover rate products at the end of each year.

 

1.20.Assets held for sale

 

The assets, or groups of assets, with some directly associated liabilities, classified as held for sale in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" will be disclosed separately from the rest of assets and liabilities.

 

An asset may be classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered primarily through a sale transaction, rather than through its continued use, and a sale is considered highly probable.

 

To apply the above classification, an asset must meet the following conditions:

 

-It must be available for immediate sale in its current conditions;
-Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and have started an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan;
the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price, in relation to its current fair value;
-the sale must be expected to be completed within 12 months from the reclassification date;
-it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn.

 

The assets, or groups of assets, possibly with some directly associated liabilities, classified as held for sale in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations", are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

 

The Group will not depreciate the asset while classified as held for sale.

 

The balances of financial instruments, deferred taxes and investment properties classified as held for sale are not subject to the valuation methods detailed above.

 

1.21.Impairment of non-financial assets

 

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization but are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or, at least, on an annual basis.

 

Impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

 

1.22.Trust Assets

 

Assets held by the Group in its Trustee role, are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Commissions and fees earned from trust activities are included in Service fee income.

1.23.Offsetting

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated financial statement where the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

1.24.Financing received from the Argentine Central Bank and other Financial Institutions

 

The amounts owed to other financial institutions are recorded at the time the bank disburses the proceeds to the Group. Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.

 

1.25.Provisions / Contingencies

 

A provision will be recognized when:

 

-an entity has a present obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of past event;
-it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
-the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

An Entity will be deemed to have an implicit obligation where (a) the Group has assumed certain responsibilities as a consequence of past practices or public policies and (b) as a result, the Group has created an expectation that it will discharge those responsibilities

 

The Group recognizes the following provisions:

 

For labor, civil and commercial lawsuits: provisions are calculated based on lawyers’ reports about the status of the proceedings and the estimate about the potential losses to be afforded by the Group, as well as on the basis of past experience in this type of claims.

 

For miscellaneous risks: These provisions are set up to address contingencies that may trigger obligations for the Group. In estimating the provision amounts, the Group evaluates the likelihood of occurrence taking into consideration the opinion of its legal and professional advisors.

 

Other contingent liabilities are: i) possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or ii) present obligations that arise from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to its settlement; or whose amount cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

 

Other contingent liabilities are not recognized. Contingent liabilities, whose possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote, are not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee is disclosed.

 

The Group does not account for positive contingencies, other than those arising from deferred taxes and those contingencies whose occurrence is virtually certain.

 

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Group's management believes there are no elements leading to determine the existence of contingencies that might be materialized and have a negative impact on these consolidated financial statements other than those disclosed in Note 13.

 

1.26.Other non-financial liabilities

 

Non-financial accounts payable are accrued when the counterparty has fulfilled its contractual obligations and are measured at amortized cost.

1.27.Employee benefits

 

The Group approved a long-term incentive plan for members of senior management and the Board of Directors, in which participants will be entitled to receive cash payments over time if certain performance targets are met.

 

In addition, provisions are made related to early retirement plans and for benefits related to career awards. The liability related to these plans and benefits is not expected to be canceled in the next 12 months. Therefore, they are measured at the present value of future cash flows expected to be made with respect to the services provided by employees until the end of the year using the unit credit method. The level of salaries, experience and severance, as well as years of service are taken into account. Expected future payments are discounted using the market rate at the end of the fiscal year corresponding to sovereign bonds with terms and currency that match the expected flows. Remeasurements as a result of experience and changes in actuarial premises are recognized in income.

 

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

 

1.28.Debt Securities

 

Subordinated and unsubordinated Debt Securitiesissued by the Group are measured at amortized cost. Where the group buys back its own debt securities , such obligations will be derecognized from the Consolidated Financial Statements and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid will be recognized as financial income or expenses.

 

1.29.Assets and liabilities derived from insurance contracts

 

The Group applies IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts” in order to recognize and measure the assets and liabilities derived from insurance contracts.

 

Assets derived from insurance contracts

 

An insurance contract is a contract under which the Group (the insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder.

 

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the rest of its term, even if the insurance risk is significantly reduced during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expired.

 

The insurance contracts offered by the Group include property insurance that covers combined family insurance, theft and similar risks, property damage, personal accidents, among other risks. They also include temporary life insurance contracts.

 

Total premiums are recognized on the date of issuance of the policy as an account receivable. At the same time, a reserve for unearned premiums representing premiums for risks that have not yet expired is recorded as a liability. Unearned premiums are recognized as income during the contract period, which is also the coverage and risk period. The book value of insurance accounts receivable is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the book value may not be recoverable. The impairment loss is recorded in the income statement.

 

Liabilities derived from insurance contracts

 

Debt with insured

 

The insurance claims reserves represent debts with insured people for claims reported to the company and an estimate of the claims that have already been incurred but that have not yet been reported to the company (IBNR). The reported claims are adjusted on the basis of technical reports received from independent appraisers.

Debts with reinsurers and co-insurers

 

The Group mitigates the risk for some of its insurance businesses through co-insurance or reinsurance contracts in other companies. In the case of co-insurance, the Group associates with another company to cover a risk assuming only a percentage of it and also the premium. In reinsurance, the risk is transferred to another insurance company both proportionally (as a percentage of the risk) and not proportionally (excess loss is covered above a certain limit). The reinsurance agreements assigned do not exempt the Group from its obligations to the insured.

 

Coinsurance and reinsurance liabilities represent balances owed under the same conditions and the amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the contract that gave rise to them.

 

Debts with producers

 

They represent liabilities with insurance agents originated in the commissions for the insurance operations that they originate for the Group companies. The balances of the current accounts with these entities are also included.

 

Technical commitments

 

The current risk reserve regularizes the premiums to be collected based on the incurred but not reported risks.

 

1.30.Capital

 

The accounts that make up this item are expressed in currency that has not considered the variation of the price index since February 2003, except for the item "Capital Stock", which has been kept at its nominal value.

 

Common shares are recognized in shareholders´ equity and carried at nominal value.

 

1.31.Reserves and Dividend distribution

 

Pursuant to provisions set by the Argentine Corporations law, the Group and its subsidiaries, other than Banco Supervielle and Cordial Compañía Financiera, are required to appropriate 5% of the net income for the fiscal year to the legal reserve until such reserve is equal to 20% of Capital stock, plus the balance of the Capital Adjustment account.

 

As concerns Banco Supervielle and Cordial Compañía Financiera, according to the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, 20% of net income for the fiscal year, net of previous years’ adjustments, if any, is required to be appropriated to the legal reserve. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in appropriating amounts to other reserves, Financial Institutions are required to comply with the provisions laid down by the Argentine Central Bank in the revised text on distribution of dividends described in Note 16.6.

 

The distribution of dividends to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year in which dividends are approved by the Group’s Shareholders.

 

1.32.Revenue Recognition

 

Financial income and expense is recognized in respect of all debt instruments in accordance with the effective interest rate method, pursuant to which all gains and losses which are an integral part of the transaction effective interest rate are deferred.

 

The results that are included within the effective rate include expenditures or income related to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or liability, such as compensation received for the analysis of the client's financial condition, negotiation of the terms of the instrument, the preparation and processing of the documents necessary to conclude the transaction and the compensations received for the granting of credit agreements that are expected to be used by the client. The Group records all its non-derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost, except those included in the caption "Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss", which are measured at fair value.

 

It should be noted that the commissions that the Group receives for the origination of syndicated loans are not part of the effective rate of the product, being these recognized in the Statement of Income at the time the service is provided, as long as the Group does not withhold part of it or this is kept in the same conditions as the rest of the participants. The commissions received by the Group for the negotiations in the transactions of a third party are not part of the effective rate either, these being recognized at the time they are perfected.

 

IFRS 15 establishes the principles that an entity must apply to account for income and cash flows from contracts for the sale of goods or services to its customers.

The amount to be recognized will be that which reflects the payment to which it is expected to be entitled for the services provided.

 

The income from the Group's services is recognized in the income statement in accordance with the fulfillment of performance obligations, thus deferring those income related to customer loyalty programs, which are provisioned based on the fair value of the point and its redemption rate, until they are exchanged by the client and can be recognized in the results of the year.

 

Below is a summary of the main commissions earned by the Group:

 

Commission Frecuency of revenue
recognition
Account maintenance Monthly
Safe deposit boxes Semi-annual
Issuing Bank Event driven
Credit Card renewal Annual
Check management Event driven

 

Income from investment property rentals is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income based on the straight-line method over the term of the lease, in accordance with the provisions of note 1.15.

 

1.33.Income tax

 

Income tax expense for the year includes current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, except for items required to be recognized directly in other comprehensive income. In this case, the income tax liability related to such items is also recognized in such statement.

 

Current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as of the date of the Statement of Financial Position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. The Group periodically assesses the position assumed in tax returns in connection with circumstances in which the tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group sets up provisions in respect of the amounts expected to be required to pay to the tax authorities.

 

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the deferred tax liability method, on temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. However, the deferred tax arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination which, at the time of the transaction does not affect income or loss for accounting or tax purposes, is not recorded. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) enacted as of the date of the Financial Statements and that are expected to be applicable when the deferred tax assets are realized or the deferred tax liabilities are settled.

 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent future tax benefits are likely to arise against which the temporary differences can be offset.

 

The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, except that the following two conditions are met:

 

·the Group controls the timing on which temporary differences will be reversed; and
·such temporary differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when a legal right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and to the extent such balances are related to the same tax authority of the Group or its subsidiaries, where tax balances are intended to be, and may be, settled on a net basis..

 

1.34.Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Group’s shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares issued and dilutive potential common shares at year end. Since the Company has no dilutive potential common shares outstanding, there are no dilutive earnings per share amounts.

3.INCOME TAX

 

On December 21, 2019, the National Executive enacted Income Tax Law 27,541. This law has introduced several changes to the previous income tax treatment. Some of the key changes involved in the reform include:

 

Article 27 of the Law stipulates that the inflation adjustment, positive or negative, corresponding to the first and second fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2019, should allocate a sixth (1/6) in that fiscal period and the remaining five sixth (5/6), in equal parts, in the next five (5) immediate fiscal periods.

 

In turn, it is clarified that said provision does not preclude the allocation of the remaining thirds corresponding to previous periods, calculated in accordance with the previous version of article 194 of the Income Tax Law.

 

Article 48 of the Law 27,541 establishes that until the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2021 inclusive, the tax rate will be thirty percent (30%) -Dividends or distributed profits will be 7%.

 

The following table reconciles the statutory income tax rate in Argentina to the Group´s effective tax rate as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019 
Current income tax   (1,105,459)   (324.684)
Income tax – deferred method   1,609,262    524.618 
Income tax allotted in the Income Statement   503,803    199.934 
Income tax allotted in Other comprehensive income   231,171    50.423 
Total Income Tax Charge   734,974    250.357 

 

The following is a reconciliation between the income tax charged to income as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, that which would result from applying the current tax rate on the accounting profit

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019

Deferred tax assets   3,020,783    1.781,699

5.FAIR VALUES

 

Fair value is defined as the amount by which an asset may be exchanged or a liability may be settled, in an arm’s length orderly transaction between knowledgeable principal market participants (or more advantageous) at the date of measurement of the current market conditions regardless of whether such price is directly observable or estimated utilizing a valuation technique under the assumption that the Group is a going concern.

 

When a financial instrument is sold in a liquid and active market, its settled price in the market in a real transaction provides the best evidence of its fair value. When a stipulated price is not settled in the market or when it cannot be an indicator of a fair value of the instrument, in order to determine such fair value, another similar instrument’s fair value may be used, as well as the analysis of discounted flows or other applicable techniques. Such techniques are significantly allocated by the assumptions used.

Presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

The Group classifies the fair values of the financial instruments into 3 levels, according to the quality of the data used for their determination.

 

Fair Value level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly-traded derivatives, debt securities or available for sale) is based on market quoted prices as of the date of the reporting period. If the quote price is available and there is an active market for the instrument, it will be included in Level 1.

 

Fair Value level 2: The fair value of financial instruments which are not traded in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data and rely the least possible on the Group’s specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value a financial instrument are observable, such instrument is included in level 2.

 

Fair Value level 3: If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

 

The portfolio of financial instruments held by the Group is detailed below, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

Instrument portfolio as of 12/31/2020  FV level 1   FV level 2   FV level 3

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between fair value levels only at end of period. The transfers were produced by the classification as Level 3 of the financial instruments with lack of observable prices.

Valuation Techniques

 

Valuation techniques to determine fair values Level 2 and Level 3 include the following:

 

-Market or quoted prices for similar instruments.
-The estimated present value of instruments.

 

The valuation technique to determine fair value Level 2 is based on inputs other than the quoted price included in Level 1 that are readily observable for the asset or liability (i.e., prices).

 

For Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques through spot rate curves which calculate the yield upon market prices.

 

These valuation techniques are detailed below:

 

-    Interpolation model: It consists of the determination of the value of financial instruments that do not have a market price at the closing date, based on quoted prices for similar assets (both in terms of issue, currency, and duration) in the active markets ( MAE, Bolsar or secondary) through the linear interpolation of them. This technique has been used by the Entity to determine the fair value of the instruments issued by the BCRA and Treasury Bills without quotation at the end of this period.

-    Performance Curve Model under Nelson Siegel: This model proposes a continuous function to model the trajectory of the instant forward interest rate considering as a domain the term comprised until the next interest and / or capital payment. It consists in the determination of the instrument’s price estimating volatility through market curves. The Entity has used this model to estimate prices in debt securities or financial instruments with variable interest rate.

 

The principal inputs considered by the Group for its determination of fair values ​​under the linear interpolation model are:

 

-    Instrument prices that were quoted between the date the curve is estimated and the settlement date of the latest payment available.

-    Implicit rates in the last available tender.

-    Only instruments that have been traded with a 24-hour settlement are considered.

-    If the same instrument has been listed on MAE (“Mercado Abierto Electrónico”) and Bolsar, only the market price that has been traded in the market with higher volume is considered

-    The yield curve is standardized based on a set of nodes, each of which has an associated expiration date.

-    Instruments denominated in US dollars are converted at the exchange rate on the date the instrument is negotiated.

 

Likewise, for the determination of fair values under the Nelson Siegel model, the main data and aspects considered by the Entity were:

 

-    The Spot rate curves in pesos + BADLAR and the Spot rate curve in US dollars are established based on bonds predefined by Financial Risk Management.

-    The main source of prices for Bonds is MAE, without considering those corresponding to operations for own portfolio.

-    The portfolio of bonds used as input is changed with every issuance.

 

The Group periodically evaluates the performance of the models based on indicators which have defined tolerance thresholds.

 

Under IFRS, the estimated residual value of an instrument at inception is generally the transaction price.

 

In the event that the transaction price differs from the determined fair value, the difference will be recognized in the income statement proportionally for the duration of the instrument.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

The following describes the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair values of financial instruments not recorded at their value in these financial statements:

 

-    Assets whose fair value is similar to book value: For financial assets and liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturities (less than three months), the book value is considered to be similar to fair value.

-    Fixed rate financial instruments: The fair value of financial assets was determined by discounting future cash flows at the current market rates offered, for each year, for financial instruments with similar characteristics. The estimated fair value of deposits with a fixed interest rate was determined by discounting future cash flows through the use of market interest rates for deposits with maturities similar to those of the Group's portfolio.

-    For listed assets and the quoted debt, fair value was determined based on market prices.

6.TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

 

When the Group transfers financial assets under an agreement that meets all requirements to derecognize such assets, the difference between the carrying amount of those assets and the amount received as consideration is charged to income.

 

(a)Transfers that do not qualify for derecognition

 

The following is a detail of the financial assets transferred by the Group that continue to be recognized in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019 
Securitized Personal Loans        
Asset         -    2,197,444 
Liabilities   -    1,156,889 
Transfers of receivables with recourse          
Asset   -    41,116 
Liabilities   -    - 

 

(b)Transfers of financial assets that qualify for derecognition

 

The Group makes, in certain opportunities, non-recourse portfolio sales. In these cases, the Group has not retained any substantial risk or reward regarding the transferred portfolio, and therefore, such portfolio meets derecognition requirements.

 

7.NON CONTROLLING INTEREST

 

The movements in the Group's significant non-controlled interests as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019

9.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Related parties are considered to be all those entities that directly, or indirectly through other entities, control over another, are under the same control or may exercise significant influence over the financial or operational decisions of another entity.

 

The Group controls another entity when it has power over the financial and operating decisions of other entities and in turn obtains benefits from it. On the other hand, the Group considers that it has joint control when there is an agreement between the parties regarding the control of a common economic activity.

 

Finally, those cases in which the Group has significant influence is due to the power to influence the financial and operating decisions of another entity but not being able to exercise control over them. For the determination of such situations, not only the legal aspects are observed but also the nature and substance of the relationship.

 

Additionally, related parties are considered to be the key personnel of the Group's Management (members of the Board and managers of the Group and its subsidiaries), as well as the entities over which key personnel may exercise significant influence or control.

 

Controlling Entity

 

Mr. Julio Patricio Supervielle is the main shareholder of the Groups, with registered address on Bartolomé Mitre 434, 5th floor, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Julio Patricio Supervielle´s interest in the capital and votes of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts to the 35.12% and 57.89%, respectively.

Transactions with related parties

 

The financings, including those that were restructured, were granted in the normal course of business and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and guarantees, as those in force at the time to grant credit to non-related parties. Likewise, they did not imply a risk of bad debts greater than normal nor did they present any other type of unfavorable conditions.

Items  12/31/2020 
Right-of-use assets – Depreciation   780,397 
Interest expenses on lease liabilities (Other operating expenses)   207,035 

 

(iii)Lease activities:

 

The Group leases several branches. Rental agreements are generally made for fixed periods of 1 to 3 years, but may have extension options as described in (iv) below.

 

Contracts may contain lease components or not. The Group assigns consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their independent relative prices. However, for the leases of real estate for which the Group is a lessee, it has chosen not to separate the lease components and those that are not, and instead counts them as a single lease component.

 

Lease terms are negotiated individually and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Lease agreements do not impose other obligations to do or not do, other than the leased assets owned by the lessor. Leased assets cannot be used as collateral for obtaining loans.

 

Until 2018, Property, Plant and Equipment leases were classified as operating leases. As of January 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset by registering a liability as a counterparty on the date on which the leased asset is available for use by the Entity.

 

Assets and liabilities arising from leases are initially measured based on the present value. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

 

·fixed payments (including fixed payments in substance), less any incentives receivable;

·variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

·amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;

·the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

·payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

 

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.

 

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be easily determined, which is generally the case with leases in the Group, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, which is the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary funds to obtain an asset of similar value to the asset by right of use in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

 

To determine the incremental interest rate, the Group:

 

·whenever possible, uses the external financing recently received as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since the external financing was received.

·uses a rate determination approach that begins with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases that the Entity already has for those cases in which it does not have recent third-party financing, and

·makes specific adjustments for the lease, for example, term, currency and guarantee.

 

The Group is exposed to possible future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they become effective. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate become effective, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

 

Lease payments are allocated between capital and financial cost. The financial cost is charged to income during the lease period to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

 

The right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 

·the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

·any lease payment made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

·any initial direct costs, and

·an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

 

The right-of-use assets are generally depreciated during the shortest useful life of the asset and the lease term in a linear fashion.

 

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognized linearly as an expense in income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and that does not contains a purchase option. Low-value assets include computer equipment and small items of office furniture.

 

(iv) Extension and termination options

 

Extension and termination options are included in several property leases. These are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in operations. Most of the extension and termination options maintained are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.

16.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE BCRA

 

16.1 CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEPOSIT INSURANCE SYSTEM

 

Law No. 24485 and Decree No. 540/95 established the creation of the Deposit Insurance System to cover the risk attached to bank deposits, in addition to the system of privileges and safeguards envisaged in the Financial Institutions Law.

 

Through Decree No. 1127/98 dated September 24, 1998, the National Executive Branch established the maximum coverage limit of the guarantee system, applicable to demand or time deposits, in pesos and/or foreign currency. Until February 28, 2019, such limit amounts to 450, pursuant to Communication “A” 5943. As from March 1, 2019, such limit amounted to 1,000 pursuant to Communication “A” 6654. As from May 1, 2020, the new limit amounts to $ 1,500, pursuant to Communication “A” 6973.

 

This regime does not include deposits made by other financial institutions (including time deposit certificates acquired through a secondary transaction), deposits made by persons directly or indirectly related to the entity, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees, and those set up after July 1, 1995 at an interest rate higher than that periodically set forth by the Argentine Central Bank on the basis of the daily survey carried out by that agency (*). Excluded from the regime are also the deposits whose ownership was acquired through endorsement and placements offering incentives additional to the interest rate. The system has been implemented through the creation of the so-called “Deposit Guarantee Fund" (F.G.D.), which is managed by the company Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (SEDESA) and whose shareholders are the Central Bank and the financial institutions in the proportion determined for each of them by that agency on the basis of contributions made to such fund.

 

(*) Enforced on January 20, 2019, pursuant to provision “A” 6435, such exclusions are as follows: Sight deposits with agreed-upon rates exceeding reference rates and term deposits and investments exceeding 1.3 times such rate. Reference rates are released on a regular basis by the Argentine Central Bank in accordance with a mobile average of the last five banking business days of passive rates that may arise for term deposits of up to 100 (or its equivalent in other currencies) from the survey to be carried out by said institution.

17.CONTRACT AS A FINANCIAL AGENT BY THE PROVINCE OF SAN LUIS

 

On January 17, 2017, Banco Supervielle S.A. received a communication from the Ministry of Public Treasury of the Province of San Luis giving notice of the termination of the Financial Agent Contract that Banco Supervielle has with the Province, effective as of February 28, 2017. The communication also states that, without prejudice to the exercise of the right to terminate the contract, the Province may continue to operate with the Bank until a new financial agent is selected.

 

Since February 2017, the Bank has continued rendering financial services to the Government of San Luis Province and its employees.

 

On June 7, 2018, the Province ratified said agreement over a 12-month period, thus regularizing the Bank´s role as exclusive payment agent, which has not been interrupted since 20 years ago. Such agreement has been renewed several times and according to the last renewal signed, it expires on November 30, 2020.

 

In January 2019, the government of San Luis Province disclosed the terms and conditions of the auction to be held by the Province for the new financial agent agreement. The Bank submitted its offer on March 15, 2019. Only two offers were submitted. On December 6, 2019, the Government of San Luis issued Decree N°8589 by means of which the auction was closed without assigning such financial agent agreement.

 

As of these financial statements, the Bank continues rendering financial services to the government of San Luis province and its employees.

 

18.FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

 

Comprehensive Risk Management is a key discipline for financial institutions. The Group intends to create, through its subsidiaries, a solid and efficient organization in risk management, the framework for an optimal use of its capital and to identify business opportunities in the markets and geographic regions in which it operates, seeking the best risk-reward balance for its shareholders. The risk management framework is communicated to the entire organization and strives to strike a balance between a strong risk culture and being an innovative company, focused on its customers and recognized for its agile, easy and friendly operating style.

 

The Company's Board of Directors considers that its criteria and guidelines regarding risk management are a key part of its Corporate Governance. The risks to which the Group is exposed are inherent to the financial industry, such as credit, the market, interest rate, liquidity, operational risk, reputation and strategic risk. In addition, the Group is exposed to the risk of securitization, given its leadership role on this issue.

 

Financial risk factors

 

Credit risk

 

The Integral Risk Committee approves credit risk strategies and policies submitted in accordance with recommendations provided by the Integral Risk Corporate Department, the Credit Corporate Department and commercial sectors and in compliance with regulations set by the Argentine Central Bank. The credit strategy and policy is aimed at the development of commercial opportunities within the framework and conditions of the Group´s business plan, while keeping suitable caution levels in face of the risk.

 

Policies and procedures enable the definition of accurate aspects aimed at the deployment of the Group´s Strategy related to the administration of credit risk; among them, the Group´s criteria to grant loans, credit benefits and powers, types of products and the way in which the structure is organized, among other aspects. Likewise, the Group relies on an integral risk policy where aspects related to general key risk governance as well as specific manuals and procedures that include, among others, all relevant regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

The Group´s credit risk management policies are applied to corporate and individuals. To such ends, a customer segmentation has been defined for Corporate Banking and Personal and Business Banking.

 

The Group focuses on supporting companies belonging to sectors with potential, and successful in their activity. Within the range of credit products offered for the business segment, the Group aims to develop and lead the factoring and leasing market, as well as to be a benchmark in foreign trade.

Within Corporate Banking, we seek a solid proposal for medium and large companies’ market, seeking to maintain proximity with clients through service centers, agreements with clients throughout their value chain, and providing agile responses through existing credit processes.

 

Regarding Personal and Business Banking, in addition to payroll and senior citizens segments, special focus is placed on Entrepreneurs and SMEs, SMEs as well as the Banks´s Identité segment.

 

In the case of CCF, the focus is consumer finance, fundamentally in granting personal loans, credit cards and car loans.

 

The area of Capital Markets and Structuring targets the trust business segment; placement of assets in the capital market through financial trusts and debt securities, own and of third parties; and for its part, the area of Treasury and Finance has the Trading Desk within its scope. Among traded products are: interbank call, REPO transactions, corporate call, securities from public sector and monetary policy instruments of the Central Bank, acquisition of consumer portfolios, third-party financial trusts, negotiation of financial derivatives (futures, rate swaps, etc.), among others.

 

The Group is willing to carry out a strategy that enable it to address its contractual commitments, both under normal market conditions and adverse situations. Therefore, the Group relies on scoring and rating models to estimate probability of default (PD) for the different client portfolios. As for risk appetite framework, the Group relies on cut-offs for each risk-based segment that express the maximum risk to be assumed in terms of probability of default.

 

In addition to PD parameters, the Group relies on estimates of exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters with the purpose of estimating Group’s allowance for loan losses and the necessary economic capital to face unexpected losses that may arise due to credit risk.

 

The Group is aimed at keeping a diversified and atomized portfolio, in order to minimize risk concentration. To such ends, loan originationand client portfolio profiles are adjusted to each different circumstance. To this end, the entity has an indicators dashboard linked to the appetite for credit and concentration risk. The evolution of the NPL, Coverage and Cost of Risk indicators is monitored in relation to target limits established according to risk appetite and the strategy determined in the entity's business plan. Likewise, there is a portfolio limits scheme that measures balance concentration by debtor or economic group, the concentration of the main debtors, concentration by value chain, economic activities, portfolio by risk level based on the facility risk rating. and the exposure in foreign currency both at a total level and by product type.

 

Credit Risk Measurement Models

 

The Entity relies on models aimed at estimating the distribution of potential credit losses in its credit portfolio, which depend on defaults by the counterparties (PD – Probability of Default), as well as the assumed exposure to such defaults (EAD –Exposure At Default) and the recoveries of each defaulted loan (LGD – Loss Given Default).

 

Based on the aforementioned, the Group has developed a Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) model.

 

Regarding CCF, it also has estimates of the aforementioned parameters related to credit risk and a monitoring model of the RAROC Measurement metric.

 

The Group has deepened its work on the expected loss methodologies under IFRS 9, focusing on methodological improvements in the estimation of parameters (PD, EAD and LGD), aligning the definition of the parameters to the credit process. The forward looking model has been redesigned including more variables and openings. Likewise, effects resulting from the pandemic have been evaluated and incorporated into the expected loss calculation.

 

Allowances for loan losses calculation

 

Based on the results of the PD (probability of default), EAD (exposure at the time of default) and LGD (loss in the event of default) estimates, the associated statistical forecast is calculated.

 

Allowances for loan losses calculation is based on models that analyzes the Group’s own portfolio information to estimate, in global terms, the average value of the loss distribution function over an annual term (expected credit loss). The expected credit loss is determined based on PD, EAD, and LGD loss factors.

Economic Capital Calculation

 

The economic capital for credit risk is the difference between the portfolio’s value at risk (according to the confidence level for individuals of 99.9% and for companies of 99%) and the expected credit losses.

 

The Group relies on economic capital models for credit risk (one for individuals and another for companies). Such quantitative models include the exacerbation of capital by concentration risk and Securitization Risk. In the economic capital calculation models a one year holding period is used, except from factoring exposures where a six month holding period is used.

 

Counterparty Risk Management

 

The Group relies on a Counterparty’s Risk Map approved by the Credit Committee where the following limits are defined for each counterparty according to the Group’s risk appetite: credit exposure and settlement limits, foreign exchange settlement risk, securities settlement risk and Repo transactions settlement risk, among other.

 

Regarding the economic capital for the counterparty’s risk, it is included in the Economic Capital Quantitative Model for Credit Risk.

 

Impairment of Financial Instruments

 

Those credits classified as irrecoverable are eliminated from assets, recognizing them in off-balance sheet accounts. Their balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts to 7,198,080 and 5,240,360 respectively.

 

Market risk

 

Group defines Market Risk as the risk resulting from deviations in the trading portfolio value as a result of market fluctuations during the period required for the settlement of portfolio positions.

 

The Risk Department’s measurement, control and follow-up perimeter covers those operations where certain loss risk in the Group ´s shareholders equity value is assumed, as a result of changes in market factors. Such risk results from the variation in risk factors under evaluation (interest rate, exchange rate, market price of equity instruments and options), as well as liquidity risk in the different products and markets where the Group operates.

 

According to its business strategy, Banco Supervielle is the component of the Group with the greatest exposure to this risk. On the other hand, Cordial Compañía Financiera has a minimum exposure to market risk and associated with liquidity management purposes. That is why market risk controls present a greater level of detail and emphasis on Banco Supervielle's trading portfolio.

 

With the purpose of measuring the risk of positions homogeneously and therefore, setting a limit and threshold structure to support management and control schemes, Banco Supervielle uses the VaR model (Value at Risk), which defines the maximum expected loss to be recorded in a financial asset portfolio in normal market conditions, within a certain period of time and at a pre-established confidence level. Indicators obtained from this enable the Group to identify a potential market risk and take preventive measures.

 

Market risk management is focused on the trading portfolio managed by the Trading desk, although there is also a broader control including managed positions with liquidity management objectives. For this reason, in terms of the broader trading portfolio, the controls are limited to the exposure to the assumed risk, measured using the VaR methodology, in relation to the regulatory capital (RC). In addition, a control is carried out on the VaR by group of assets, thus limiting the risk that the Entity can assume in each group of assets considered in isolation. The objective is to incorporate an element of alert to credit events or break in the correlations between groups of assets, events that may escape the consideration of a diversified VaR.

 

The controls over the Trading desk are more exhaustive. Approved strategies and policies are reflected in what is known internally as a unified Risk Map document, where detailed operations enabled by the Trading desk can be explained in detail. In the same document the entire framework of controls that translate the risk appetite with which the Entity is willing to operate is exposed. In this way, limitations are established on the open position in certain financial instruments, VaR limit on the diversified portfolio, maximum allowable loss amount before executing the stop loss policy and conditions that could lead to the execution of a stop strategy gain. The entire control scheme is complemented by action plans that must be implemented once a violation occurs within the limits established therein.

Sensitivity Analysis

 

It is important to note that within the daily report provided to the trading desk for the monitoring of the exposure to assumed risk, the Financial Risk Management makes a comparison between the profitability obtained and the implicit risk for each asset. When using a diversified VaR methodology, it is important to provide information related to the contribution that each asset in the portfolio makes to the aggregate VaR measurement, and fundamentally if this asset generates risk diversification or not. That is why, within the variables included in the daily report, the VaR component of each asset is included, thus allowing a sensitivity analysis on the impact of each asset on the total risk.

 

With the aim of improving the assumed risk analysis through the use of alternative measurement metrics, the Group recognizes the change in market conditions on exposure to risk through an adjustment to the volatilities used in the VaR calculation. According to the methodology used, the returns of assets registered in more recent dates have a greater incidence in the calculation of volatilities. In parallel, the Entity performs a measurement and monitoring of the assumed risk through the application of an expected shortfall methodology, analyzing the universe of unexpected losses located in the distribution queue beyond the critical point indicated by VaR.

 

Economic capital calculation

 

Banco Supervielle adopts the diversified Parametric VaR methodology for the calculation of market risk economic capital, both at a consolidated and individual level. It should be noted that in the case of Cordial Compañía Financiera, according to the provisions established by the Argentine Central Bank, its Board of Directors has chosen to quantify its needs for economic capital by applying a simplified methodology. According to this methodology, the aggregate economic capital arises from the following expression:

 

EC = (1,05 x MC) + max [0; ΔEVE – 15 % x bS)]

 

Where, EC: economic capital according to profile’s risk (ICAAP).

 

MC: Minimum capital requirement in accordance with Argentine Central Bank regulations.

ΔEVE (Economic Value): measure of interest rate risk calculated according to the Standardized Framework bS (Basic Shareholders’ equity) : Tier 1 capital.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk is the risk derived from the likelihood that changes in the Group’s financial condition occur as a result of market interest rate fluctuations, having effect on its financial income and economic value. The following are such risk factors:

 

üDifferent terms maturity and interest rate re-adjustment dates for assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items.

üForecast, evolution and volatility of local interest rates and foreign interest rates.

üThe basis risk that results from the unsuitable correlation in the adjustment of assets and liabilities interest rates for instruments that contain similar revaluation features;

 

The Group’s interest rate risk management model, includes the analysis of interest rates gaps. Such analysis enables the basic explanation of the financial statement structure as well as the detection of interest rate risk concentration along the different terms. Special attention focuses on the accumulated gap during the first ninety days, as it is the holding period used when evaluating exposure to interest rate risk in each of the entities and due to its relevance when evaluating actions that may modify the structural balance positioning.

 

The interest rate risk management is aimed at keeping the Group’s exposure within those levels of risk appetite profile validated by the Board upon changes in the market interest rates.

 

To such ends, the interest rate risk management relies on the monitoring of two metrics:

 

üMVE – VaR Approach: measures the difference between the economic values estimated given the interest rate market curve and said value estimated given the interest rate curve resulting from the simulation of different stress scenarios. The Group uses this approach to calculate the economic capital for this risk.

üNIM – EaR Approach: measures changes in expected accruals over a certain period of time (12 months) upon an interest rate curve shift resulting from a different stress situation simulation practices.

 

With the publication of Communication "A" 6397, the Argentine Central Bank presented the applicable guidelines for the treatment of interest rate risk in the investment portfolio. The regulation makes a distinction between the impact of fluctuations in interest rate levels on the underlying value of the entity's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (economic value or MVE), and the alterations that such movements in the interest rate may have on sensitive income and expenses, affecting net interest income (NII). This same criterion had already been adopted by Banco Supervielle, so that the new regulations implied a readaptation of the management model to the suggested measurement methodology, maintaining some criteria and incorporating others.

 

As established by the regulator, both Banco Supervielle and Cordial Compañia Financiera must use the Standardized Framework described in point 5.4. of the Communication "A" 6397 for the measurement of the impact on the economic value of the entities (ΔEVE) of six proposed disturbance scenarios. These scenarios include parallel movements in the curves of market interest rates upwards or downwards, flattening or steepening of the slope of these curves, as well as an increase or decrease in short-term interest rates. A base curve of market interest rates is considered for each of the significant currencies in the financial statement of each entity. According to the applicable regulation, Banco Supervielle has to use an internal measurement system (SIM) for measurement based on results (ΔNIM). This requirement is not applicable to Cordial Compañía Financiera. It is important to highlight that Banco Supervielle, which has not been qualified by the Argentine Central Bank as having a local systemic importance (D-SIB), is not legally bound to have its own internal measurement system (SIM) for the measurement based on economic value (ΔEVE).

 

Beyond the regulatory provisions, it is important to note that both Banco Supervielle and Cordial Comapñia Financiera have been working with internal measurement systems (SIM) to measure the impact of rate fluctuations, both on economic value (ΔEVE) and on results (ΔNIM). The development of these systems included the definition of assumptions for the determination of the maturity flow of different lines of assets and liabilities without defined maturity or with implicit or explicit options of behavior.

 

During 2020 an important methodological change was implemented, since the Entity decided to align itself with the provisions of the Standardized Framework in relation to assets and liabilities with Units of Purchasing Power (UVA) adjustment and stopped considering them as susceptible to interest rate risk in the risk calculation with its internal measurement systems (SIM).

Following good practices in risk management and with the aim of ensuring the goodness of fit of the internal models used, a backtesting methodology was developed applicable to the results obtained with the interest rate risk measurement tool (approach MVE-VaR). Specifically, an evaluation of the discount rates projected in the critical scenario is carried out.

 

Improvements were made to the dynamic rate GAP measurement tool, allowing various sensitivity exercises to be carried out in a year characterized by a changing context and numerous regulations that altered financial margins.

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

As a first step to calculate economic capital, Banco Supervielle calculates its exposure to interest rate risk from the MVE-EaR (economic value) approach of its internal measurement system (SIM), using a holding period of three months (90 days) and a confidence level of 99%. This quantitative model includes the exacerbation of capital by securitization risk. The result obtained is compared with the worst result of the alterations proposed in the six scenarios proposed by the Standardized Framework, with the resulting economic capital being the worst of both measurements (SIM and Standardized Framework).

 

In the case of Cordial Compañía Financiera, as mentioned above, the Entity's Board of Directors has chosen to quantify its needs for economic capital by applying a simplified methodology. With regard to interest rate risk, the Group measures the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on the economic value based on the application of the Standardized Framework. In the event that the worst ΔEVE of the six scenarios proposed by the regulation exceeds 15% of the basic net worth (capital level one) of the Entity, the sum of the economic capital calculated according to the simplified methodology would be increased by said excess.

Liquidity Risk

 

The Group defines Liquidity Risk as the risk of assuming additional financing expenses upon unexpected liquidity needs. Such risk results from the difference of sizes and maturities between the Group’s assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the following:

 

üFunding Liquidity Risk means the risk to obtain funds at normal market cost when needed, based on the market’s perception of the Group.

üMarket Liquidity Risk means the risk resulting from the Group’s incapacity to offset an asset position at market price, as a consequence of the following two key factors:

   
·Assets are not liquid enough,

·Changes in the markets where those assets are traded.

 

Liquidity and concentration indicators of funding sources are used to determine the tolerance to this risk, starting from the most restrictive definitions to the most comprehensive ones.

 

The following are the main core metrics used for liquidity risk management:

 

üLCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio): measures the relation between high quality liquid assets and total net cash outflows over a 30-day period. The Group estimates this indicator on a daily basis, having met during the year the minimum value established by law, as well as that established internally based on their risk appetite.

üNet Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR): measures the ability of the Group to fund its activities with sufficiently stable sources to mitigate the risk of future stress situations arising from its funding. The Group calculates this indicator on a daily basis, having complied with the minimum value required by the regulator and that that established internally based on its risk appetite.

üCoverage of Remunerated Accounts and Pre-Payable Term Deposits this indicator is aimed to reduce funding dependence of unstable sources in non-liquid scenarios.

 

In addition, the Assets and Liabilities Committee performs a daily monitoring of some follow-up metrics . Such indicators are used to analyze the main components of LCR while assessing the Group’s liquidity condition and warning upon trend changes that may affect the guidelines set by the risk appetite policy. Additionally, within these monitoring indicators, Committee assess for the availability of liquid assets to respond to an eventual withdrawal of more volatile deposits, such us remunerated sight accounts and deposits of the public sector in foreign currency.

 

During 2020 the local financial market operated with high levels of liquidity due to the impact of restrictions on mobility, the consequent drop in the level of economic activity and the strong monetary issue faced by the Central Bank of Argentina to cover the needs of assistance to the sectors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This strong initial growth of the monetary base had its correlation in the use of LELIQ and Pasive Repo by the monetary authority as an absorption mechanism. In line with the aforementioned, Banco Supervielle experienced strong growth in demand balances, both for retail and institutional clients. The latter, with their correlate in loans to the Central Bank of Argentina via LELIQ and / or Repo, counteracted the positive effect of growth in retail balances and put pressure on the LCR, which was effectively managed throughout the year, staying within comfort values established by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidity in dollars strengthened throughout the year. On the one hand, the strong drop in deposits that began in August 2019 gradually diminished until reaching a reversal and slightly positive monthly variations towards the end of 2020. This was combined with an active management of loan collections in dollars, which is reflected in a significant fall in balances on this line of the balance sheet.

 

Economic capital calculation

 

The Group relies on the following elements that ensure the suitable management of this type of risk:

 

üBroad liquidity indicators dashboard, to monitor liquidity levels. Each indicator relies on its relevant threshold and limit, which are monitored on a daily basis by the Risk Area (sending due warnings upon violation cases), on a byweekly basis by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) and on a monthly basis by the Integral Risk Committee. Likewise, a weekly report is drawn up and sent to members of the Integral Risk Committee, ALCO and the Board.

üIndicators that measure the concentration of funding sources, establishing the Group’s risk appetite.

 

üDevelopment and monitoring of new liquidity coverage and leverage indicators set by the Argentine Central Bank in compliance with Basle III route map.

 

üDifferent liquidity risk follow-up tools have been added, including a disaggregate assessment of contractual term mismatches and funding concentration reports, by counterparty, product and significant currency. The accuracy of the information required for such reports contributed to the improvement of our Risk Management Information System (MIS).

 

üThe liquidity coverage ratio is used to assess the Group’s capacity to meet liquidity needs over a 30-day period within a stress scenario described by the Argentine Central Bank. The follow-up of this indicator is carried out on a daily basis, keeping the Group’s liquidity director and officials updated on its evolution.

 

üPermanent monitoring of limit and threshold compliance in virtue of the stable funding ratio (NSFR).

 

üIndividual stress tests, carried out on a daily basis upon an eventual critical scenario of a sudden withdrawal of deposits and its impact on the minimum cash position and LCR.

 

üIntraday liquidity monitoring tools as indicated above.

 

üRegarding contingency plans, the Group follows a policy that ensures the application of its guidelines in stress tests, according to the decision taken by ALCO Committee and Integral Risk Committee.

 

The Risk management framework described herein enables a suitable liquidity condition; therefore, the Group considers the economic capital estimation unnecessary to cover such risk, as long as the Group’s solvency should not be affected once the stress tests contingency plan have been implemented.

23.IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON GROUP`S OPERATIONS

 

The Group operates in a complex economic context which main variables have been featured by strong volatility at a national and international level.

 

The pandemic outbreak in March 2020 produced by Covid-19 has had significant consequences globally, most countries implemented a series of unprecedented restrictions.The different sanitary restricting measures produced, to a greater or lesser extent, an almost immediate impact on economies which witnessed the quick fall of production and activity indicators. Accordingly, most governments implemented fiscal aid packages to sustain part of the population’s income and reduce the risk of breaches in payment chains; thus, avoiding a financial and economic crisis as well as companies´ bankruptcies, Argentina was not the exception and the Government took action in the wake of the pandemic,

 

The Argentine economy was in a recessive process and the pandemic outbreak in March 2020 turned the scenario even more complex. The country is expected to close 2020 with activity fall,

 

The following are the main local indicators:

 

GDP estimated fall (EMAE) as of December 2020 amounted to a 10,0%,

Accrued inflation between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 amounted to a 36,1% (Consumer Price Index - CPI),

Between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, the peso recorded a 40% depreciation against the USD, according to the Exchange rate released by Banco de la Nación Argentina,

The monetary authority implemented additional Exchange restrictions which, in turn, affected the foreign currency value in existing alternative markets for certain Exchange operations restricted in the official market,

 

These measures, aimed at restricting the access to the exchange market with the purpose of containing the demand of dollars, entail the Argentine Central Bank´s prior authorization request for certain operations; thus, the following operations impact for the society:

 

Payment of dividends and earnings to non-residents

Payment of financial loans granted to non-residents: those companies that register scheduled capital maturities between 10/15/2020 and 03/31/2021 shall submit a capital refinancing program of at least the 60%, with new external indebtedness and an average life of two years and shall be allowed to acquire only the equivalent to the 40% of agreed-upon capital commitments

Payment of debt securities issuance with public registration

Payment of indebtedness among residents in foreign currency

 

Additionally, the exchange regime mandated the registration and settlement of funds resulting from the following operations and concepts in local currency:

 

Exports of goods and services

Collection of prefinancings, advances and post-financing of exports of goods

Exports of services

Disposal of non-produced non-financial assets

Disposal of external assets

 

Such exchange restrictions, or those to be issued, might affect the Group's capacity to access the Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (MULC) for the acquisition of necessary foreign currency to address financial obligations, Assets and liabilities in foreign currency as of December 30, 2020 have been estimated in accordance with MULC´s quotations in place,

 

Likewise, in October 2020, the Government launched a set of measures aimed at contributing with the development of exportable goods and promoting the local market and construction industry,

Notes to Separate Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

1.ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Grupo Supervielle S.A. (hereinafter, “the Group”), is a company whose main activity is the investment in other companies. Its main income is given by the distribution of dividends of such companies and the raising of earnings of other financial assets.

 

The main investment of the Company accounts for the stake in Banco Supervielle S.A., a financial entity governed pursuant to Law N° 21,526 of Financial Statements and subject to provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank, in virtue of which the entity has adopted valuation and disclosure guidelines pursuant to provisions included in Title IV, chapter I, Section I, article 2 of the Amended Text 2013 issued by the National Securities Commissions.

 

The issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements as of the three-month period ended on December 31, 2020 was passed by the Board of the Company over the course of its meeting held on March 8, 2021.

 

1.1.Differences between the accounting framework established by the BCRA and IFRS

 

These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to: (i) provisions set by Intenational Accounting Standards N° 34, “Interim Financial Information” (IAS 34) and (ii) the accouting information framework set by the Argentine Central Bank which is based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretation Committee with the following exceptions:

 

(a)Temporary exception of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” application over debt instruments of the non-financial public sector,

(b)Temporary exception of the application of Section 5.5 (Value Impairment) for Group C entities, a category that includes Cordial Compañia Financiera S.A.. Therefore, provisions of the aforementioned Entity are held under minimum provisions standards set by the Argentine Central Bank. See note 1.2.4 a).

(c)Presentation within other comprehensive income of the monetary result corresponding to items of a monetary nature that are measured at fair value with a counterpart in other comprehensive income. Communication “A” 7211 established that said monetary result must be presented within the income for the year as of 1.1.21. Had the aforementioned exposure criterion been applied at the end of the year ended December 31, 2020, the net result would have amounted to $ 3,400,539 and the Other Comprehensive Income to $ 3,948,981.

 

1.2.Preparation basis

 

These separated financial statements have been prepared in acoordance whith the accounting framework established by B.C.R.A. described in Note 1.1.

 

The Gruop´s Board has concluded that these consolidated financial statements reasonably express the financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires that the Group carries out calculations and evaluations that affect the amount of incomes and expenses recorded in the period. In this sense, calculations are aimed at the estimation of, for example, credit risk provisions, useful life of property, plant and equipment, impairments and amortizations, recoverable value of assets, income tax charges and the reasonable value of certain financial instruments. Future real results may defer from calculations and evaluations as of the date of these separate financial statements preparation.

 

As of these financial statements issuance date, such statements are pending of transcription to Inventory and Balance Sheet Book.

 

1.2.1.Going concern

 

As of the date of these separate Financial Statements there are no uncertainties with respect to events or conditions that may raise doubts regarding the possibility that the Group continues to operate normally as a going concern.

 

1.2.2.Measuring unit

 

Figures included in these financial statements are expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, unless otherwise stated.

Notes to Separate Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

The Group´s financial statements recognice changes in the currency purchasing power until August 31, 1995. As from such date, in virtue of existing economic stability conditions and pursuant to Communication “A” 2365 issued by the Argentine Central Bank, accounting measurements were not re-expressed until December 31, 2001. In virtue of Communication “A” 3702 issued by the Argentine Central Bank, the application of the method was resumed and became effective on January 1, 2002. Previous accouting measurements were considered to be expressed in the currency as of December 31, 2001.

 

Pursuant to Communication “A” 3921 issued by the Argentine Central Bank, in compliance with Decree 664/03 issued by the National Executive Power, the application of the re-expression of financial statements in homogeneous currency was interrupted as from March 1, 2003. Therefore, the Group applied said re-expression until February 28, 2003.

 

In turn, Law N° 27,468 (B.O. 04/12/2018) amended article 10° of Law N° 23,928 and its amendments, thus establishing that the abolition of all legal and regulating standards that set and authorize price indexing, monetary updating, cost changes or any other manner of re-increasing debts, taxes, prices or fees for goods, works or services does not include financial statements, regarding which the application of article 62 of the General Corporations Law N° 19,550 (T.O 1984) and its amendments shall prevail. Likewise, the aforementioned legal body set de abolition of Decree N° 1269/2002 dated on July 16, 2002 and its amendments and instructed the National Executive Power, through its controlling agencies, to set the date as from which said regulations became into effect in relation with financial statements to be submitted. Therefore, on February 22, 2019, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6651 which established that financial statements shall be prepared in a homogeneous currency as from January 1, 2020. Therefore, these financial statements have been re-expressed as of December 31, 2020.

 

1.2.3.Comparative information

 

The information included in these financial statements and in the aforementioned notes as of December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019 is presented, exclusively with comparative purposes regarding the information as of December 31, 2020.

 

It is worth to be mentioned that, Communication “A” 6778, issued by the Argentine Central Bank, required the retroactive application of the impairment model set forth in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 with temporary withdrawal of non-financial public sector´s debt instruments and the re-expression of financial statements pursuant to IAS 29. In virtue of the aforementioned, the Group has applied the following:

 

(i)Retroactive re-expression of figures included in the Financial Situation as of December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019 for the purpose of submitting such figures as if the new accounting policies had been in force since January 1, 2019, and

(ii)Retroactive re-expression of figures included in the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income and Changes in the Shareholders’ Equity Statement as of December 31, 2019 for the purpose of submitting such figures as if the new accounting policies had been in force since January 1, 2019.

(iii)Present a third column in the statement of financial position with the balances as of January 1, 2019

 

1.2.4.Changes in accounting policies and new accounting standards

 

With the approval of new IFRS, modifications or derogations of the standards in force, and once such changes are adopted through Adoption Bulletins issued by Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales en Ciencias Económicas (FACPCE), the Argentine Central Bank will determine the approval of such standards for financial entities. In general terms, no anticipated IFRS application shall be allowed unless upon adoption such anticipated measure is specified.

 

The following are changes that were made effective over the course of the quarter ended on December 31, 2020:

 

(a)Impairment of financial assets

 

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6430 and 6847 Financial Entities shall start to apply provisions on Financial Assets Impairment included in paragraph 5.5 of IFRS 9 as from fiscal years starting on 1 January, 2020, except for Non-financial Public Sector´s debt securities, which shall be temporarily excluded from the scope of said provisions. Likewise, Communication “A” 6938 issued by the Argentine Central Bank set the postponement of the application of the section targeted to “B” group Companies until January 1, 2021,a category that includes Cordial Compañía Financiera S.A.; therefore, provisions of said Entity are held under the minimum provisions regulations set by the Argentine Central Bank. It is worth mentioning that through communications "A" 7108 and 7134, the Argentine Central Bank ordered the classification of financial entities into groups "A", "B" and "C", leaving Cordial Compañía Financiera classified as Group "C" as of October 1, 2020.

Notes to Separate Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

Upon the application of impairment model included in section 5.5 of IFRS 9, a decrease of about 689 million and 1,042 million would have been recorded in the shareholders ´equity as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively.

 

(b)Re-expression by inflation of financial statements

 

Pursuant to IAS 29 “Financial Information in hyperinflationary economies”, financial statements of an entity, whose functional currency accounts for that currency of a hyperinflationary economy shall be expressed in terms of a current measurement unit as of the reporting fiscal year closing date regardless of whether such statements are based on the historical cost method or a current cost method. To such ends, in general terms, such entity shall calculate the inflation recorded as from the acquisition date or revaluation date, when applicable, in non-monetary items. Such requirements also include the comparative information of financial statements.

 

With the purpose of stating whether an economy is classified as Hyperinflationary in accordance with IAS 29, the provision sets forth a series of factors to be considered, which includes an accrued inflation rate in three years close to or higher than the 100%. That is the reason why, pursuant to IAS 29, the Argentine economy must be considered as a high inflation economy as from July 1, 2018.

 

In short, pursuant to IFRS 29 re-expression mechanism, monetary assets and liabilities shall not be re-expressed since such assets and liabilities are expressed in a measurement unit in force as of the reported period closing. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments tied to specific agreements, shall be adjusted pursuant to such agreements. Non-monetary items measured at current values at the end of the reported period, such as the realization net value or others, shall be re-expressed. The remaining non-monetary assets and liabilities shall be re-expressed in accordance with a general price index. The loss or earning of a net monetary position shall be included in the net income of the reported period in a separate item. It is worth to be mentioned that earnings or losses over the monetary position of instruments at fair value through profit and loss in OCI is included in Other Comprehensive Income of the period/fiscal year. Upon the sale of such instruments its result is reclassified in the line “Results from sale or withdrawal of financial instruments rated at amortized cost” in the net income of the period/fiscal year.

 

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6651, issued by the Argentine Central Bank on February 22, 2019, financial statements shall be prepared in a constant currency as from fiscal years starting on January 1, 2020. In this sense, Communication “A” 6849 issued by the Argentine Central Bank sets the re-expression frequency of the accounting information in a homogeneous currency on a monthly basis, and the index utilized to such ends accounts for the National Consumer Index drawn up by INDEC (basis month: December 2016) and for such items with previous initial date, IPIM issued by FACPCE is utilized, pursuant to Ruling JG 517/16. Likewise, transition date, in virtue of the retroactive application has been set on January 1, 2019.

 

(c)Other Changes in the Accounting Framework set by the Argentine Central Bank

 

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6847, financial entities will be allowed to re-categorize, as from Januray 1,2020, instruments of the non-financial public sector rated at fair value through profit and loss and at fair value through profit and loss in OCI at an amortized cost criterion, while utilizing the accounting value of such date as addition value. As for instruments affected by this option, interest accrual and accessories shall be interrupted as long as the accounting value is above its fair value. Upon such measurement, the abovementioned financial instruments, at fair value as of December 31, 2020 there would be no significant impact on equity and results for the year.

 

1.3.Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

The accounting policies are consistent with those used in the financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the Entity to make estimates and evaluations that affect the amount of the assets and liabilities recorded, and the disclosure of contingencies, as well as the income and expenses recorded in the year. In this sense, estimates are made to calculate, for example, provisions for uncollectible, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization, the recoverable value of assets, the charge for income tax, , some labor positions and the contingency, labor, civil and commercial lawsuits. Actual future results may differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Separated Financial Statements.

1.7.Financial Instruments

 

Other financial assets and other deb securities

 

i)            Financial assets at amortize cost

 

Financial assets shall be measured at amortized cost if:

 

(a)            the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

 

(b)            the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

These financial instruments shall be measured at its fair value plus incremental, directly attributable, transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

A financial asset’s amortized cost is the amount at which it is acquired minus the cumulative amortization plus accrued interests (using the effective interest method), net of any impairment loss.

 

The effective interest method uses the rate that allows the estimated future cash flows to be discounted to be received or paid over the life of the instrument or a shorter period, if appropriate, equalizing the net book value. By applying this method, the Group identifies the incremental direct costs as an integral part of the effective interest rate.

 

ii)            Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

 

Financial assets shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when:

 

(a)            the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

 

(b)            the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding.

 

These instruments shall be initially recognized at fair value plus incremental, directly attributable, transaction costs, and subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive incomes. Gains and losses arising out of changes in fair value shall be included in other comprehensive incomes within a separate component of equity. Impairment losses or reversal, interest revenue and foreign exchange rate gains and losses shall be recognized in profit or loss. At the time of sale or disposal, the accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive incomes are reclassified from equity to the income statement.

 

Investments in Mutual Funds: they have been valued according to the value of the share in force on the last business day corresponding to the end of the fiscal year.

 

iii)            Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise:

 

-     Instruments held for trading

 

-     Instruments specifically designated at fair value through profit or loss

 

-     Instruments with contractual terms that do not represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

 

These financial instruments shall be initially recognized at fair value and any gain or loss shall be recognized in profit or loss upon effectiveness.

 

The Group classifies a financial instrument as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred with an intention to sell or repurchase them in the short term, or it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking or it is a derivative which is not embedded in a qualifying hedging relationship. Derivatives and instruments held for trading shall be classified as held for trading and are recognized at fair value.

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the prices prevailing at the end of each year in active markets, if representative. In the absence of an active market, valuation techniques were used that included the use of market operations carried out in conditions of mutual independence, between interested parties and duly informed, whenever available, as well as references to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially similar, or the analysis of discounted cash flows. The estimation of fair values is explained in more detail in the section "critical accounting policies and estimates".

 

Additionally, financial assets can be valued ("designated") at fair value through profit or loss when, in doing so, the Group eliminates or significantly reduces an inconsistency in measurement or recognition.

 

iv)Financial liabilities – Debt securities issued

 

Debt securities issued by Group are measured at amortize cost.

 

v)Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

 

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when such entity is exposed, or holds control, to receive variable yields as a result of its interest, and has the capacity to utilize its power to run operating and financial policies of such entity to impact on yields. Subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date on which the control is transferred to the Company, and are excluded from consolidation as from the date such control ceases.

 

Associates are entities on which the Group has a significant influence, that is, the power to intervene in financial-and-business-related decision making processes of such associate, but without gaining control.

 

Pursuant to IAS 27 and 28, separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and associates may be recorded through the use of “interest method” or “proportional equity value method”.

 

In virtue of the utilization of Interest Method, investments are initially recognized at cost, and such amount increases or decreases for the recognition of investor´s interest in earnings and losses of the entity after the acquisition/set-up date.

 

Likewise, net indentifiable assets and contingent liabilities acquired in the initial investment in a subsiadiary and/or associateare initially valuated at fair value as of investment date. When applicable, the value of interest in subsidiaries and associates includes the goodwill recognized on such date. When the interest of the group in losses is equivalent to or exceeds the value of the interest in such entities, the Entity does not recognize additional losses, except upon the existence of legal or assumed obligations related to the provision of funds or payments on behalf of such entities.

 

The interest in earnings and losses of subsidiaries and associates is recognized in the line “Income from associates and joint ventures” in the separate income statement. The interest of the Entity in other income from subsidiaries and associates is recognized in the line “Interest of associates and joint ventures recorded through the utilization of Interest method of the separate statement of other comprehensive results.

 

The Group determines the date of each report upon the existence of objective evidence showing that an investment in a subsidiary or associate is not recovereable. If so, the devaluation amount is calculated as the difference between the recovereable value of such investment and its accounting value, while recognizing the resulting amount in “Income from associates and joint ventures” in the separate income statement.

 

1.8.Intangible Assets

 

a)            Goodwill:

 

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures accounts for the excess between:

 

(i)            the cost of one acquisition, which is valued as the amount of the transferred payment, valued at fair value as of the acquisition date plus the amount of non-controlling interest; and

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

(iii)the fair value of recognizable acquired assets and assumed liabilities of such acquisition.

 

All goodwill is included in the item intangible assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Goodwill is not amortized. The Group evaluates, annually or upon devaluation indicators, the recoverability of goodwill based on future discounted fund flows plus any other information available as of the preparation of consolidated Financial Statements. Earnings and losses from the sale of an entity include the goodwill balance in the sold entity.

 

Goodwill is assigned to cash-raising units with the purpose of carrying out recoverability tests. Such assignment applies to those cash-raising units (or group of units), identified in accordance with the operating segment criterion and benefiting from the combination of businesses from which goodwill resulted.

 

Goodwill´s impairment test

 

Goodwill are assigned to the Group's cash generating units on the basis of the operating segments.

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019   01/01/2019 
Supervielle Seguros S.A.   9,721    9,721    9,721 
Cordial Compañía Financiera S.A.   11,928    11,928    11,928 
InvertirOnline S.A.U. / InvertirOnline.Com Argentina S.A.U.   1,864,559    1,864,559    1,846,041 
Micro Lending S.A.U.   1,453,519    1,453,519    1,453,519 
Futuros del Sur S.A.   5,127    5,127    - 
Easy Cambio S.A.   7,291    -    - 
 TOTAL   3,352,145    3,344,854    3,321,209 

 

The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is determined on the basis of use value calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on approved financial budgets covering a period of five years.

 

The main key assumptions are related to marginal contribution margins. These were determined on the basis of past results, other external sources of information and their expectations of market development.

 

The discount rates used are the respective average cost of capital ("WACC"), which is considered a good indicator of the cost of capital. For each cash generating unit, where the assets are assigned, a specific WACC was determined considering the industry, the country and the size of the business.

 

The goodwill values recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, have been tested as of the date of the financial statements and no adjustments for impairment have been determined as a result of the analyzes performed.

 

b)            Trademarks and licenses

 

Trademarks and licenses acquired separately are initially valued at historical cost, while those acquired through a business combinations are recognized at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

 

As of the closing date of the separate financial statements , intangible assets with a finite useful life are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and / impairment losses, if any. These assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

 

The trademarks acquired by the Group have been classified as intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The main factors considered for this classification include the years in which they have been in service and their recognition among industry customers.

 

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are those that arise from contracts or other legal rights that can be renewed without a significant cost and for which, based on an analysis of all the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit of the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the Group. These intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject, annually or whenever there are indications of devaluation, to annual assessment for impairment, either individually or at the level of the cash generating unit. The categorization of the indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to confirm if it is still sustainable.

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

Impairment losses are recognized when the book value exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value of the assets corresponds to the higher of the recoverable value of the asset or its value in use. For purposes of the impairment test, the assets are grouped at the lowest level in which they generate identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). The devaluations of these non-financial assets - other than goodwill - are reviewed at each reporting date to verify possible reversals.

 

c)            Software

 

Costs related to software maintenance are recognized as expenses when incurred. Development, acquisition or implementation costs which are directly attributable to identifiable and single software design and tests controlled by the Group are recognized as assets.

 

Development, acquisition or implementation costs recognized initially as period expenses, are not recognized as intangible asset cost. Costs incurred in the development, acquisition or implementation of software, recognized as intangible assets are amortized through the application of straight-line method during their estimated useful lives, over a term not exceeding five years.

 

1.9.Property, plant and equipment

 

Lots and buildings were recorded at their revaluated values based on periodically appraisals; for which purpose independent appraisers were hired, net of the consequent building depreciation. A revaluation reserve is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

 

Any property, plant and equipment are recorded at their net historical cost of accrued depreciations and/or accrued devaluation losses, if any, except for real estate, for which the Group adopted the revaluation method. The cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition or building of these ítems.

 

Management updates the valuation of the fair value of land, buildings, facilities and machinery (classified as property, plant and equipment), taking into account independent valuations. Management determines the value of a property, plant and equipment within a range of estimates of their fair value and considering the currency in which transactions are carried out in the market. The revaluations are carried out with sufficient regularity, in order to ensure that the book value, at all times, does not differ significantly from the fair value of each asset subject to revaluation.

 

The subsequent costs are included in the active value or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, if and only if it is probable that they generate future economic benefits for the Entity, and their costs can be fairly measured. The book value of the asset that is being replaced is withdrwan, thus the new asset is amortized by the number of years of useful life left at the moment of the improvement.

 

The maintenance and reparations expenses are recognized in the consolidated income statement of the fiscal year in which they are incurred.

 

The depreciation is calculated utilizing the straight-line method, applying annual rates sufficient to extinguish the values of goods at the end of their estimated useful life. In the event that an asset includes significant components with different useful lives, they are recognized and depreciated as separate items.

 

The following chart presents the useful life for each of the items forming part of the item property, plant and equipment:

 

Property, plant and equipment  Estimated Useful Life
Buildings  50 Years
Furnitures and Facilities  10 Years
Machines and equipment  5 Years
Vehicles  5 Years
Others  5 Years

The residual value of the property, plant and equipment, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if necessary, at each fiscal year closing or when there are devaluation signs.

 

The book value of the property, plant and equipment is immediately reduced at its recoverable amount when the book amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount.

 

1.10.Other receivables and debts

 

Receivables and liabilities have been valued at their nominal value plus financial results accrued as of each financial year closing. Such resulting values do not differ significantly from those recorded by applying existing accounting standards, which establish that they are to be valued at their best possible estimated receivable or payable amount, respectively, discounted by utilizing a certain rate that shows the time value of the money and specific risks involved in the estimated operation at the moment of its inclusion in assets and liabilities respectively.

 

Banking and financial debts have been valued in accordance with the amount of money received, net of transaction costs, plus accrued financial results based on the return interest rate estimated upon initial recognition.

 

1.11.Reserved Earnings and dividend distribution

 

As for income resulting from dividends, there are certain restrictions for Companies where the Group holds interest. Such restrictions are mentioned in Note 1.29 as per Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

1.12.Recognition of income

 

Financial income and expenses are recorded for all assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective rate method, thus the differentiation from all positive and negative results which are an integral part of the operation effective rate.

 

Results contained in the effective rate include expenses or income related to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or liability.

 

The Group´s income from services are recognized in the income statement in accordance with the performance obligations compliance.

3.FAIR VALUES

 

Fair value is defined as the amount by which an asset may be exchanged or a liability may be settled, in an arm’s length orderly transaction between knowledgeable principal market participants (or more advantageous) at the date of measurement of the current market conditions regardless of whether such price is directly observable or estimated utilizing a valuation technique under the assumption that the Group is a going concern.

 

When a financial instrument is sold in a liquid and active market, its settled price in the market in a real transaction provides the best evidence of its fair value. When a stipulated price is not settled in the market or when it cannot be an indicator of a fair value of the instrument, in order to determine such fair value, another similar instrument’s fair value may be used, as well as the analysis of discounted flows or other applicable techniques. Such techniques are significantly allocated by the assumptions used.

 

The Group classifies the fair values of the financial instruments into 3 levels, according to the quality of the data used for their determination.

 

Fair Value level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly-traded derivatives, debt securities or available for sale) is based on market quoted prices as of the date of the reporting period. If the quote price is available and there is an active market for the instrument, it will be included in Level 1.

 

Fair Value level 2: The fair value of financial instruments which are not traded in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data and rely the least possible on the Group’s specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value a financial instrument are observable, such instrument is included in level 2.

 

Fair Value level 3: If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

 

The portfolio of financial instruments held by the Group is detailed below, at the close of the period ended on December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

Portfolio of instruments at  12/30/2020  FV Level 1   FV Level 2   FV Level 3

8.INCOME TAX

 

Law 27,451 has been recently enacted, which mainly establishes the following accounting impacts:

 

Article 27 of the Law stipulates that the inflation adjustment, positive or negative, corresponding to the first and second fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2019, should allocate a sixth (1/6) in that fiscal period and the remaining five sixth (5/6), in equal parts, in the next five (5) immediate fiscal periods.

 

In turn, it is clarified that said provision does not preclude the allocation of the remaining thirds corresponding to previous periods, calculated in accordance with the previous version of article 194 of the Income Tax Law.

 

Article 48 of the Law 27,541 establishes that until the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2021 inclusive, the tax rate will be thirty percent (30%) -Dividends or distributed profits will be 7%.

 

The following table reconciles the statutory income tax rate in Argentina to the Group´s effective tax rate as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   12/31/2020   12/31/2019 
Comprehensive Income of the financial year Income Tax   2,907,062    (3,442,686)
Tax Rate in Force   30%   30%
Result of financial year before Income Tax at the tax rate   872,118    (1,032,806)
Permanent differences (at tax rate):          
Result of equity investments   (891,894)   1,192,181 
Untaxed results   16,250    (36,188)
Tax Inflation adjustment   32,461    427,601 
Deferred tax rate difference   (570,021)   - 
Affidavit adjustment 2019   36,037    - 
Income Tax/(Breakdown) of the fiscal year   (505,049)   550,788 

 

Additionally, minimum presumed income tax is determined by applying the 1% tax over computable assets as of financial year closing. This tax complements income tax.

The Group’s tax obligation in the financial year will coincide with the highest amount of both taxes. However, if, in a financial year, the minimum presumed income tax exceeds income tax, such excess may be recorded as a down-payment of any income tax excess over the minimum presumed income tax that might be produced in any of the following ten financial years.

 

The evolution of liabilities balance from deferred tax is expressed as follows:

 

Item  Deferred income tax
assets
   Deferred income
tax liabilities
 
Balance at the beginning of financial year   89,694    (22,333)

The Board of Directors considers that its criteria and guidelines regarding risk management are a key part of its Corporate Governance. The risks to which the Company is exposed are inherent to the financial industry, such as credit, the market, the interest rate, liquidity, operational risk, reputation and strategic risk. In addition, the Company is exposed to the risk of securitization, given the leadership role it has over this issue.

 

Financial risk factors

 

Credit risk

 

The Integral Risk Committee passes credit risk strategies and policies submitted in accordance with recommendations provided by the Integral Risk Corporate Department, the Credit Corporate Department and commercial sectors and in compliance with regulations set by the Argentine Central Bank. The credit strategy and policy is aimed at the development of commercial opportunities within the framework and conditions of the Group´s business plan, while keeping suitable caution levels in face of the risk.

 

Policies and procedures enable the definition of accurate aspects aimed at the deployment of the Bank´s Strategy related to the administration of credit risk; among them, the Group´s criteria to grant loans, credit benefits and powers, types of products and the way in which the structure is organized, among other aspects. Likewise, the Group relies on an integral risk policy where aspects related to general key risk governance as well as specific manuals and procedures that include, among others, all relevant regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

The entity´s credit risk administration policy is open to corporate and individual markets. To such ends, a customer segmentation has been defined for corporate banking, retail banking and finance..

 

The Group is focused on supporting companies that belong to potential sectors, and, rely on a successful background in their activities. Within the credit products range offered to the Corporate segment, the Group aims at developing and keeping its leading position in the factoring and leasing market in addition to playing a reference role in international trade.

 

As for corporate banking, we seek to have a solid proposal for the Megras market by building close ties with clients through attention centers, agreements with clients along with their value chain and the delivery of effective responses through existing credit processes.

 

With regard to Personal and Businesses, in addition to the loose flat segments and beneficiaries of pension assets (retirees), special focus is placed on Entrepreneurs and SMEs, SMEs as well as the Bank's Identity segment.

 

In the case of CCF, the focus is consumer finance, fundamentally in granting personal loans, credit cards and car loans.

 

In turn, the Finance area is focused on trust businesses, asset allocation in the capital market through financial trusts and bonds, its own portfolio or third parties´, and the trading desk. Some of the existing products are: interbanking call, Repo transactions, call corporate, Government Securities and currency policy instruments of the Central Bank, Consumption portfolio purchase, third parties´ financial trusts, swap negotiation (futures, swaps, etc.), among others.

 

The Group is willing to carry out a strategy that enable it to address its contractual commitments, both under normal market conditions and negative situations. Therefore, the Entity relies on scoring and rating models with the purpose of estimating probability of default (PD) of the different client portfolios. As for risk appetite framework, the Group relies on cut-offs for each segment that express the maximum risk to be assumed in terms of probability of default.

 

In addition to PD parameters, the Group relies on estimates of exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters with the purpose of estimating Group’s allowance for loan losses and the necessary economic capital to face unexpected losses that may arise due to credit risk.

 

The Group is aimed at keeping a diversified and atomized portfolio, in order to minimize risk concentration. To such ends, loan originationand client portfolio profiles are adjusted to each different circumstance. To this end, the entity has an indicators dashboard linked to the appetite for credit and concentration risk. The evolution of the NPL, Coverage and Cost of Risk indicators is monitored in relation to target limits established according to risk appetite and the strategy determined in the entity's business plan. Likewise, there is a portfolio limits scheme that measures balance concentration by debtor or economic group, the concentration of the main debtors, concentration by value chain, economic activities, portfolio by risk level based on the facility risk rating and the exposure in foreign currency both at a total level and by product type.

Credit Risk Measurement Models

 

The Entity relies on models aimed at estimating the distribution of potential credit losses in its credit portfolio, which depend on defaults by the counterparties (PD – Probability of Default), as well as the assumed exposure to such defaults (EAD –Exposure At Default) and the recoveries of each defaulted loan (LGD – Loss Given Default).

 

Based on the aforementioned, the Group has developed a Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) model.

 

Regarding CCF, it also has estimates of the aforementioned parameters related to credit risk and a monitoring model of the RAROC Measurement metric.

 

The Group has deepened its work on the expected loss methodologies under IFRS 9, focusing on methodological improvements in the estimation of parameters (PD, EAD and LGD), aligning the definition of the parameters to the credit process. The forward looking model has been redesigned including more variables and openings. Likewise, effects resulting from the pandemic have been evaluated and incorporated into the expected loss calculation.

 

Allowances for loan losses calculation

 

Based on the results of the PD (probability of default), EAD (exposure at the time of default) and LGD (loss in the event of default) estimates, the associated statistical forecast is calculated.

 

The exercises for estimating statistical forecasts are studies that aim to analyze the Entity's own portfolio information in order to estimate, in global terms, the average value of the loss distribution function for an annual time horizon in healthy operations, and for the entire life of the credits in those operations that are considered impaired (provisions for expected loss).

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

The economic capital for credit risk is the difference between the portfolio’s value at risk (according to the confidence level for individuals of 99.9% and for companies of 99%) and the expected credit losses.

 

The Group relies on economic capital models for credit risk (one for individuals and another for companies). Such quantitative models include the exacerbation of capital by concentration risk and Securitization Risk. In the economic capital calculation models a one year holding period is used, except from factoring exposures where a six month holding period is used.

 

Counterparty Risk Management

 

The Entity has a counterparty risk map where it is defined by each counterparty based on the Entity's risk appetite: credit exposure and settlement limits (Settlement), settlement risk (Settlement) in exchanges, securities, repo transactions between other aspects that the Entity approves in the Credit Committee and defining a framework of action for finances.

 

Regarding the economic capital for the counterparty’s risk, it is included in the Economic Capital Quantitative Model for Credit Risk.

 

Written off loans

 

Those credits classified as irrecoverable are eliminated from assets, recognizing them in off-balance-sheet accounts. Their balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts to 7,198,080 and 5,240,360 respectively.

 

Market risk

 

Group defines Market Risk as the risk resulting from deviations in the trading portfolio value as a result of market fluctuations during the period required for the settlement of portfolio positions.

 

The Risk Department’s measurement, control and follow-up perimeter covers those operations where certain loss risk in the Group ´s shareholders equity value is assumed, as a result of changes in market factors. Such risk results from the variation in risk factors under evaluation (interest rate, exchange rate, market price of equity instruments and options), as well as liquidity risk in the different products and markets where the Group operates.

According to its business strategy, Banco Supervielle is the component of the Group with the greatest exposure to this risk. On the other hand, Cordial Compañía Financiera has a minimum exposure to market risk and associated with liquidity management purposes. That is why market risk controls present a greater level of detail and emphasis on Banco Supervielle's trading portfolio.

 

With the purpose of measuring the risk of positions homogeneously and therefore, setting a limit and threshold structure to support management and control schemes, Banco Supervielle uses the VaR model (Value at Risk), which defines the maximum expected loss to be recorded in a financial asset portfolio in normal market conditions, within a certain period of time and at a pre-established confidence level. Indicators obtained from this enable the Group to identify a potential market risk and take preventive measures.

 

Market risk management is focused on the trading portfolio managed by the Trading desk, although there is also a broader control including managed positions with liquidity management objectives. For this reason, in terms of the broader trading portfolio, the controls are limited to the exposure to the assumed risk, measured using the VaR methodology, in relation to the regulatory capital (RC). In addition, a control is carried out on the VaR by group of assets, thus limiting the risk that the Entity can assume in each group of assets considered in isolation. The objective is to incorporate an element of alert to credit events or break in the correlations between groups of assets, events that may escape the consideration of a diversified VaR.

 

The controls over the Trading desk are more exhaustive. Approved strategies and policies are reflected in what is known internally as a unified Risk Map document, where detailed operations enabled by the Trading desk can be explained in detail. In the same document the entire framework of controls that translate the risk appetite with which the Entity is willing to operate is exposed. In this way, limitations are established on the open position in certain financial instruments, VaR limit on the diversified portfolio, maximum allowable loss amount before executing the stop loss policy and conditions that could lead to the execution of a stop strategy gain. The entire control scheme is complemented by action plans that must be implemented once a violation occurs within the limits established therein.

 

The exposure to the Group's exchange rate risk at the end of the year by currency type is detailed below:

Sensitivity Analysis

 

It is important to note that within the daily report provided to the trading desk for the monitoring of the exposure to assumed risk, the Financial Risk Management makes a comparison between the profitability obtained and the implicit risk for each asset. When using a diversified VaR methodology, it is important to provide information related to the contribution that each asset in the portfolio makes to the aggregate VaR measurement, and fundamentally if this asset generates risk diversification or not. That is why, within the variables included in the daily report, the VaR component of each asset is included, thus allowing a sensitivity analysis on the impact of each asset on the total risk.

 

With the aim of improving the assumed risk analysis through the use of alternative measurement metrics, the Group recognizes the change in market conditions on exposure to risk through an adjustment to the volatilities used in the VaR calculation. According to the methodology used, the returns of assets registered in more recent dates have a greater incidence in the calculation of volatilities. In parallel, the Entity performs a measurement and monitoring of the assumed risk through the application of an expected shortfall methodology, analyzing the universe of unexpected losses located in the distribution queue beyond the critical point indicated by VaR.

 

Economic capital calculation

 

Banco Supervielle adopts the diversified Parametric VaR methodology for calculating economic capital by market risk, both at a consolidated and individual level. It should be noted that in the case of Cordial Compañía Financiera, in accordance with the provisions of point 1.3.2.3. of the T.O. of the Guidelines for Risk Management in Financial Institutions, its Board of Directors has chosen to quantify its economic capital needs by applying the simplified methodology described in point 1.3.3. of the aforementioned ordered text.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk is defined as the risk that stems from the likelihood of changes in the Group’s financial condition as a result of market interest rate fluctuations, having effect on the entity’s financial incomes as well as their economic value. The following are such risk factors:

 

üDifferent maturity terms and interest rate re-adjustment dates for assets, liabilities and holdings out of balance sheet.

üLocal rate, foreign rate and CER in virtue of their forecast, evolution and volatility

üThe basis risk that results from the unsuitable correlation in the adjustment of assets and liabilities rates for instruments that contain similar revaluation features;

üImplicit options in certain assets, liabilities and items out of the Entity’s financial statement scope

 

Group implements the interest rate risk administration model, also known as financial statement structural risk, by including the analysis of interest rates gaps. Such analysis enables the basic explanation of the financial statement structure as well as the detection of interest risk concentration along the different terms. Special attention is given to the gap accrued over the first ninety days, since it is the holding period utilized at the moment of evaluating the exposure to interest rate risk in each entity and given its importance when evaluating actions that may modify the balance sheet structural positioning.

 

The administration of the balance sheet interest rate is aimed at keeping the Group´s exposure within those levels of risk appetite profile validated by the Board upon changes in the market interest rates.

Notes to Separate Financial Statements 

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis 

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

To such ends, the interest rate risk administration relies on the monitoring of two metrics: 

 

üMVE – VaR Approach: measures the difference between the economic values estimated given the market curve and said value estimated given the interest rate curve resulting from the simulation of different stress scenarios. The entity utilizes this approach to calculate the economic capital for this risk.

üNIM – EaR Approach: measures changes in expected accruals over a certain period of time (12 months) upon an interest rate curve shift resulting from a different stress situation simulation practices.

 

Communication “A” 6397, issued by the Argentine Central Bank, disclosed the guidelines to be applied for interest risk management in the investment portfolio. Such regulation makes a difference between the impact of changes on interest rate levels over the underlying value of assets, liabilities and items out of balance sheet of the entity (economic value or MVE) and variations such as changes in rates that may affect income or expenses; thus, affecting the net income from interest (NII). This criterion had already been adopted by Banco Supervielle at an individual and consolidated level; therefore, said new regulation meant a re-adaptation of the administration model to the suggested measurement model while keeping certain criteria and adding others

 

In terms of regulations, both Banco Supervielle and Cordial Compañía Financiera must utilize the Standardized Framework specified in paragraph 5.4 of Communication “A” 6397 for the measurement of the impact on the economic value of entities (∆EVE) of six disturbance scenarios. Such scenarios include parallel up or down movements in market rate curves, flattening or steeping of such curves´ slope, as well as increases or decreases in short term rates. One average market rate curve is considered for every significant currency in the financial statement of each entity. As it belongs to Group “A” of financial entities, pursuant to the classification provided in paragraph 4.1 of provisions “Authorities of Financial Entities”, Banco Supervielle, at a consolidated and individual level, must utilize an internal measurement system (IMS) for the measurement based on Income (∆NIM). The aforementioned requirement does not apply for Cordial Compañía Financiera as it has been classified within Grupo “B”. It is worth to be mentioned that Banco Supervielle is not compelled to rely on an internal measurement system of its own for the measurement based on the economic value (∆EVE) because, temporarily, it is not classified by the Argentine Central Bank as Local Systemic Importance (LSI).

 

It is important to point out that, beyond any provision, both Banco Supervielle and Cordial Compañía Financiera have been working on internal measurement systems (IMS) for the measurement of the impact of rate changes, both over the economic value (∆EVE) and income (∆NIM). The development of these systems included the inclusion of assumptions for the determination of maturity flow of different lines of assets and liabilities without specified maturity or with behavior implicit or explicit options.

 

During 2020 an important methodological change was implemented, since the Entity decided to align itself with the provisions of the Standardized Framework in relation to assets and liabilities with Units of Purchasing Power (UVA) adjustment and stopped considering them as susceptible to interest rate risk in the risk calculation with its internal measurement systems (SIM).

 

Following good practices in risk management and in order to ensure the goodness of fit of the internal models used, a backtesting methodology was developed applicable to the results obtained with the interest rate risk measurement tool (approach MVE-VaR). Specifically, an evaluation of the discount rates projected in the critical scenario is carried out.

 

Improvements were made to the dynamic rate GAP measurement tool, allowing various sensitivity exercises to be carried out in a year characterized by a changing context and numerous regulations that altered financial margins.

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

The first step in the calculation of the economic capital of Banco Supervielle is given by the calculation of its exposure to interest rate risk based on the MVE-EaR (economic value) of its internal measurement system (IMS), utilizing a three-month holding period (90 days) and a 99% reliability level. This quantitative model includes the capital exacerbation by securitization risk. The produced outcome is compared with the worst result of changes assumed in the sis scenarios proposed by the Standardized Framework, being the resulting economic capital the worst of both measurements (IMS and Standardized Framework).

 

As for Cordial Compañía Financiera, as abovementioned, the Board of the Entity decided to quantify its economic capital need through the application of a simplified methodology. As for interest rate risk, the Entity carries out measurements of the impact of changes in market rates over the economic value through the application of the Standardized Framework. If the worst (∆EVE) of the six scenarios proposed by the regulation exceeds the 15% of the Entity´s basic net equity (level one capital), the addition of economic capitals calculated in accordance with the simplified methodology would be increased by such excess.

The following chart describes the sensitivity upon a potential addition variation in interest rates for the next fiscal year while taking into account the composition as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Changes in rates have been determined in accordance with the scenarios proposed by Communication “A” 6397 for the calculation of Interest Rate Risk in Investment Portfolio. Parameters utilized as guidelines and/or budgeted by the Bank for 2020 and 2019 fiscal year and changes are deemed reasonably likely as a result of the observation of market conditions:

Increase in the interest rate  4% ARS; 2% USD   430,992   4% ARS; 2% USD   354,392 

 

If market interest rates recorded 4 percentage points decrease for pesos-denominated instruments and 2 percentage point decrease for those dollar-denominated instruments, the net annual income, net of income tax, would fall in 433,698 and would amount to 486,558 thousand as from December 31, 2020 and 2019 closing respectively. Otherwise, if rates recorded a like increase, earnings of $ 430,992 and losses of $ 354,392 thousand would be recorded respectively.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The Group defines Liquidity Risk as the risk of assuming additional financing expenses upon unexpected liquidity needs. Such risk results from the difference of sizes and maturities between the Entity’s assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the following:

 

üFunding Liquidity Risk means the risk that results from the impossibility of relying on funds at normal market cost when needed, grounded on the market’s perception for the Entity.

üMarket Liquidity Risk means the risk resulting from the Entity’s incapacity to off-set a position at market price in one or several assets for the raising of funds, as a consequence of the following two key factors:

 

·Assets are not liquid enough; that is, do not rely on the necessary secondary market.

·Changes that may take place in those markets where it lists

 

Indicators of liquidity and concentration of funding sources enable the quantification of tolerance to this risk, starting from the most acid and restrictive definitions of liquidity concept to the most comprehensive ones that include distinctive features of the Entity’s business model.

 

The Following are the main core metrics utilized for the liquidity risk administration:

 

üLCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio): measures the relation between high quality liquid assets and total net cash outflows over a 30-day period. Banco Supervielle estimates this indicator on a daily basis, having met the minimum forecasted value in 2018 as required by regulations in force and internally in accordance with the risk appetite.

GRUPO SUPERVIELLE S.A.

As of December 31, 2020 presented on comparative basis 

(Expressed in thousands of pesos in homogeneous currency)

 

üNSFR or Stable Funding Ratio: measures Banco Supervielle´s capacity, at an individual and consolidated level, to finance its activities with stable-enough sources to mitigate the risk of future stress situation resulting from funding. As from 2018, Banco Supervielle calculates such indicator on a daily basis, having met the minimum forecasted value in 2018 as required by regulations in force and internally in accordance with the risk appetite.

üCoverage of Remunerated Accounts and Pre-Payable Term Deposits this indicator is aimed at limiting funding dependence of more unstable sources in illiquid scenarios, either idiosyncrasy or systemic.

 

Additionally, the management is complemented with the daily monitoring of a series of follow-up metrics within the scope of the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO). These indicators seek to disaggregate the main components of the LCR, offering an assessment of the liquidity situation in the entity and alerting to eventual changes in trend that may put into play the guidelines established in the risk appetite policy. Within the board of monitoring indicators within the scope of this Committee, the availability of liquid assets is also evaluated to respond to an eventual outflow of more volatile deposits, understood as paid sight accounts and public sector deposits in currency. foreign.

 

During 2020 the local financial market operated with high levels of liquidity due to the impact of restrictions on mobility, the consequent drop in the level of economic activity and the strong monetary issue faced by the Central Bank of Argentina to cover the needs of assistance to the sectors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This strong initial growth of the monetary base had its correlation in the use of LELIQ and Pasive Repo by the monetary authority as an absorption mechanism. In line with the aforementioned, Banco Supervielle experienced strong growth in demand balances, both for retail and institutional clients. The latter, with their correlate in loans to the Central Bank of Argentina via LELIQ and / or Repo, counteracted the positive effect of growth in retail balances and put pressure on the LCR, which was effectively managed throughout the year, staying within comfort values established by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidity in dollars strengthened throughout the year. On the one hand, the strong drop in deposits that began in August 2019 gradually diminished until reaching a reversal and slightly positive monthly variations towards the end of 2020. This was combined with an active management of loan collections in dollars, which is reflected in a significant fall in balances on this line of the balance sheet.

 

Economic capital calculation

 

The Group relies on the following elements that ensure the suitable management of this type of risk:

 

üBroad liquidity indicators dashboard, to monitor liquidity levels. Each indicator relies on its relevant threshold and limit, which are monitored on a daily basis by the Risk Area (sending due warnings upon violation cases), on a byweekly basis by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) and on a monthly basis by the Integral Risk Committee. Likewise, a weekly report is drawn up and sent to members of the Integral Risk Committee, ALCO and the Board.

üIndicators that measure the concentration of funding sources, establishing the Group’s risk appetite.

üDevelopment and monitoring of new liquidity coverage and leverage indicators set by the Argentine Central Bank in compliance with Basle III route map.

üDifferent liquidity risk follow-up tools have been added, including a disaggregate assessment of contractual term mismatches and funding concentration reports, by counterparty, product and significant currency. The accuracy of the information required for such reports contributed to the improvement of our Risk Management Information System (MIS).

üThe liquidity coverage ratio is used to assess the Group’s capacity to meet liquidity needs over a 30-day period within a stress scenario described by the Argentine Central Bank. The follow-up of this indicator is carried out on a daily basis, keeping the Group’s liquidity director and officials updated on its evolution.

üPermanent monitoring of limit and threshold compliance in virtue of the stable funding ratio (NSFR).

üIndividual stress tests, carried out on a daily basis upon an eventual critical scenario of a sudden withdrawal of deposits and its impact on the minimum cash position and LCR.

üIntraday liquidity monitoring tools as indicated above.
