(“Supervielle” or the “Company”) a universal financial services
group headquartered in Argentina with a nationwide presence, today
reported results for the three-month and six-months periods ended
June 30, 2020.
Starting 1Q20, the Company began reporting results applying
Hyperinflation Accounting, in accordance with IFRS rule IAS 29
(“IAS 29”) as established by the Central Bank. For ease of
comparison, figures for all quarters of 2019 have been restated
applying IAS 29 to reflect the accumulated effect of the inflation
adjustment for each period through June 30, 2020.
Management Commentary
Commenting on second quarter 2020 results, Patricio
Supervielle, Grupo Supervielle's Chairman & CEO, noted: “We
took early and decisive action to achieve the three strategic goals
established at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, we acted
rapidly to protect the well-being of our employees and our
customers. We also supported several initiatives in the communities
where we operate to help mitigate the impact of this health crisis.
Second, we established protocols to ensure the continuity of our
operations, and third, we stepped up our digital transformation
initiatives to leverage accelerated adoption in this new normal.
Our strong level of liquidity and efficient operating structure are
strengthening our capital base allowing us to navigate this complex
environment.
During this time, we have continued to seamlessly support and
serve our customers, whilst maintaining strict procedures to
promote safe banking across all customer segments.
In this low touch economy, we are rapidly executing on our
strategy of transforming our company into a cutting edge, cost
efficient and agile player with the ability to continuously serve
the evolving needs and aspirations of our customers. The use of
digital channels consistently increased across our customer
segments as we added new functionalities. For example, 70% of total
time deposits in the quarter were made through digital channels, up
from just 47% in January. We also saw significant adoption in
mobile and home banking transactions which increased 66% and 50%,
respectively since the end of 2019. Transactions at non-automated
tellers declined to 6% of total transactions this quarter from 17%
in 1Q20. Moreover, the use of our senior citizens app with face
recognition increased 116% since February, as we incentivized the
accelerated adoption of digital channels for this group of
customers. Additionally, we are very proud of our involvement with
regulatory authorities to facilitate a safer banking experience for
senior citizens overall during this health crisis.
Among SMEs, another important customer segment, we are seeing
the rapid adoption of e-checks and e-factoring. We also continue to
support payroll and working capital needs of our SME clients
through loans at preferential rates, which reached 7% of our loan
book at quarter end.
Maintaining a prudent approach to risk management, during the
quarter we increased provisions by nearly 36% sequentially as we
continued to revise our expected loss models to adjust for the
current economic outlook. Covid-19 specific anticipatory provisions
accounted for nearly half of total provisions in the quarter. We
are closely monitoring our loan portfolio and risk models and will
continue to make requisite adjustments.
Looking ahead, with the positive resolution of the Argentine
sovereign debt restructuring we expect negotiations with the IMF to
move ahead and clear the way for new sustainable monetary and
fiscal policies. The trajectory of the recovery remains uncertain
and is largely dependent on the depth and duration of this global
health crisis.
We will continue to execute on our goals during this period by
safeguarding the health and safety of our employees and customers,
offering the very best level and continuity of services, and
ensuring the long-term sustainability of our business by continuing
to prioritize the digital transformation of our Company,” concluded
Mr. Supervielle.
Second Quarter 2020 Highlights
Profit before income tax of AR$1.2 billion in 2Q20 compared to
AR$625.8 million in 2Q19 and AR$839.8 million in 1Q20 up 89.2% YoY
and 41.0% QoQ. Excluding the impact of IAS29, Profit before income
tax, would have been AR$2.0 billion in 2Q20, AR$1.6 billion in 2Q19
and AR$1.8 billion in 1Q20. QoQ improvement was explained by: i) a
16.2% increase in Net Financial Income due to higher investments in
Central Bank securities and higher trading gains, while AR$ cost of
funding decreased 870 bps, ii) a lower impact from inflation
adjustment reflecting the deceleration in inflation in 2Q20
compared to 1Q20, and (iii) Personnel Expenses remaining almost
flat (-0.7%) reflecting salary increases in line with inflation
following the bargaining agreement between banks and unions for the
quarter. These were partially offset by: (i) higher LLPs resulting
from enhancing the expected loss models to capture a worsening
macroeconomic scenario as a result of the extended Covid-19
lockdown Argentina imposed, (ii) a decrease in Net Service Fee
Income due to lower credit card usage, higher costs of massive
reprints of debit cards to deliver to our senior citizen customers
in the early days of the lockdown, and regulations prohibiting
charging ATMs fees and further repricing in all other fees until
early 2021 that offset an improvement in brokerage and asset
management fees, and (iii) an increase in Administrative Expenses
mainly related to Covid-19 protocols across the Company’s branch
network aimed at protecting its employees and customers and to
ensure business continuity, increased armored transportation costs,
and in connection with initiatives related to the acceleration of
the digital transformation process.
