Management Commentary
Commenting on fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 results,
Patricio Supervielle, Grupo Supervielle's Chairman & CEO,
noted: “Our flexible business model allowed us to adapt to the many
challenges posed by the pandemic, the deep recession that ensued
and a shifting regulatory framework. During 2020, we achieved low
double digit ROAE adjusted for inflation and including
comprehensive income. We also further increased our coverage ratio
throughout the year while maintaining strong liquidity levels,
despite operating in a very difficult environment. In this complex
scenario, we continued to manage the credit cycle, leveraging our
flexibility with the goal of balancing risk and profitability. In
parallel, we diligently worked on executing our transformation
strategy which is not only aimed at driving sustainable growth as
demand resumes but at enhancing our current competitiveness.”
“Throughout the quarter we continued to see pressure on NIM,
impacted by higher cost of funds resulting from the floor on
interest rates on time deposits and subsidized rates on loans. We
expect these conditions to continue in the near term.”
“On our digital transformation, we are accelerating the
initiatives that were already in motion, both in our digital and
automatic channels, given the significant growth of active digital
customers at the bank, increasing by 73% since the end of 2019.
Moreover, we have extended the thorough and profound digital
transformation of our business across all subsidiaries under the
rubric of three axes: i) the generation of a modern technological
architecture, ii) a review of our entire branch network
infrastructure, and iii) the addition of capabilities to connect to
third parties and prepare for open banking. The successful
implementation to date has benefitted from a deep cultural
transformation across the Company, consolidating the adoption of
agile working methodologies and a new operating model that places
the customer at the center of all we do.”
“Over the next two years, we plan to step-up investments to
scale innovations and advance on the progress started in 2020. In
terms of our branch infrastructure, our goal is to evolve our
network by improving the client experience driven by a mix of
higher digital adoption, as well as effectively serving our
customers in expanded 24-hour service lobbies. Pilot programs we
have been implementing are demonstrating significant improvements
in the Net Promoter Score and efficiency and we plan to roll out
these enhancements across our branch network. We are also investing
in technology to facilitate API architecture to enable integration
with internal and external developers. As an example, during the
first quarter of this year we plan to integrate several new
financial services through fintechs within our homebanking and
mobile channels.”
“Looking ahead, on the macro front we see the economy beginning
to rebound following the 10% GDP contraction last year and in the
context of better external conditions, particularly higher
commodity prices. These are positively impacting export activity
and providing a solid foundation for real GDP to post an expected
recovery above 7% in 2021. Recovery, however, is still subject to
advances in the vaccination program to contain the health crisis,
the resumption of IMF negotiations and the regulatory
framework.”
“We are confident that the advancements on our digital
transformation, including evolving our branch model, will place
Grupo Supervielle in a position of strength to drive profitable
growth when loan demand resumes,” concluded Mr. Supervielle.
Fourth Quarter 2020 & FY20 Highlights
Attributable Net income of AR$657.4 million in 4Q20,
compared to a loss of AR$703.7 million in 4Q19 and a profit of
AR$957.0 million in 3Q20. Attributable Net Income of AR$3.4 billion
in FY20 compared to a Net loss of AR$4.0 billion in FY19.
4Q20 QoQ performance was explained by: i) a lower financial
margin resulting from the increase in cost of funds due to the full
impact in the quarter of higher market interest rates and minimum
rates on time deposits while yields on loans remained stable
impacted by credit lines at subsidized rates, ii) lower volumes in
Central Bank Securities holdings and Repo transactions, and iii)
higher administrative expenses in connection with initiatives
related to the acceleration of the digital transformation process.
These were partially offset by: i) lower LLPs following the
creation of Covid-19 anticipatory provisions in previous quarters,
and ii) lower personnel expenses despite some non-recurring charges
on severances and early retirement program in the quarter.
Attributable Comprehensive Income of AR$ 981.1 million in
4Q20 compared to a loss of AR$582.9 million in 4Q19 and a gain of
AR$846.8 million in 3Q20. Attributable Comprehensive Income of AR$

bps YoY, and 170 bps QoQ
The total NPL ratio was 3.7% in 4Q20 decreasing by 374
bps YoY and 80 bps QoQ. The QoQ NPL decline was mainly due to the
write-off of atomized consumer loans in the personal & business
banking segment reflecting the Company´s credit policy of
writing-off delinquent loans at 270 days.
Loan loss provisions (LLP) totaled AR$1.0 billion in
4Q20, down 34.4% YoY and 66.6% QoQ. The level of provisioning
reflects the Company’s IFRS9 expected losses models. The
Coverage ratio increased to 191.5% from 83.0% in 4Q19 and
181.3% in 3Q20. As of December 31, 2020, collateralized
non-performing commercial loans increased to 80% of total, from 78%

Loans to deposits ratio of 61.8% declining from 103.6% as
of December 31, 2019 and compared to 60.6% as of September 30,
2020.
Total Deposits measured in comparable AR$ units at the
end of 4Q20 increased 47.4% YoY but declined 5.8% QoQ to AR$178.6
billion. The QoQ decline in AR$ deposits was mainly driven by the
strategy to reduce institutional funding given the decline in
market spreads, while core peso deposits remained flat.

declined 12.0% YoY and 3.6% QoQ to AR$110.4 billion.
Total Assets were up 22.9% YoY, but declined 5.0% QoQ, to
AR$249.9 billion as of December 31, 2020. The QoQ performance
reflects a 3.6% decrease in loans along with lower holdings of
Central Bank instruments following the decline in market
spreads.

13.8%, compared to 14.0% reported as of September 30, 2020 and
