Buenos Aires, November 10, 2017 - BBVA Francés (NYSE: BFR.N; BCBA: FRA.BA; LATIBEX:

BFR.LA) reports consolidated third quarter results for the January-December 2017

financial year.

 

 

Highlights of the quarter

 

 

    BBVA Francés earned a net profit of $ 1,134.6 million in the third quarter of 2017, thus generating an accumulated result of $ 2,457.4 million in the first nine months of the year. The quarter’s result showed a 25.7% increase in relation to the previous quarter, net of the effect of the income tax recorded in said period, and a 21.6% rise compared to the same quarter of 2016.

 

    The quarterly annualized return on average equity was 21.7%, and the return on average assets amounted to 2.5%.

 

    In July 2017, BBVA Francés carried out a primary follow-on equity offering in Argentina and abroad, issuing 75,781,788 new ordinary shares, equivalent to USD 400 million, which will allow the Bank to develop its growth plan.

 

    Net financial income showed a 15.7% rise in relation to the previous quarter, and a 40% increase compared to the same quarter of 2016. Such increases are mainly the result of the credit activity growth in the private sector, due to foreign exchange differences and a higher volume of the Bank’s own funds.

 

    Net commissions grew 31.1% during the quarter, and 20% as compared to the same quarter of 2016, whereas administrative expenses increased 4.3% and 33% in the same periods.

 

    In terms of activity, the private sector loan portfolio evolved positively, growing 20.8% in the quarter and 52.1% in the last twelve months.

 

    Total non-performing loan ratio fell to 0.70%, whereas coverage amounts to 271.1%. Both effects are mainly explained by the growth of the loan portfolio. The higher generic provisions result in a 41% rise of charges of non-performing loans.

 

    Total deposits reached $ 129.9 billion, showing a moderate growth of 3.4% during the quarter, aligned with the industry and of 41.4% during the year. As of September 30, 2017, sight deposits represented 65% of the Bank’s total deposits, thus remaining at a level similar to the previous quarter.

 

    The Bank’s liquidity level amounts to 34.7%, thus showing a 700 bp decrease with respect to the previous quarter, as a result of the higher loan volume. The capital ratio at the end of the quarter was 14.8%.

 

    On August 10, 2017, BBVA Francés paid out AR$ 911 million cash dividends corresponding to the 2016 fiscal year, which amounts to 148.69% of the share capital or $ 1.4869 per share.

 

    During the quarter, BBVA Francés executed repos with the Republic of Argentina for a total USD 250 million.

Argentina has commenced the fourth consecutive quarter of economic recovery, with a 0.7% growth in the second quarter 2017 (deseasonalized), whereas, measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the economy grew 2.7% in the second quarter compared to the same period of 2016. The activity was mainly driven by investment, which increased 7.7% year-over-year, and by consumption performance, which hiked 4.3% in the same period.

Such recovery is validated by other higher frequency estimators. Thus, the August figure, the last available issue of the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator (EMAE in Spanish), shows economic activity gaining momentum by increasing 0.3% (deseasonalized series) and 4.3% year-over-year.

Similarly, the industrial activity grew 5.1% in August, as compared to the same period of the previous year, accumulating 1.4% in the first eight months of the year, according to the Monthly Industrial Estimator (EMI in Spanish) that shows signs of recovery in most sectors surveyed.

In the third quarter, inflation was 5.1%, thus the CPI accumulates a 17.6% variation during the year. Whereas core inflation grew 4.9% in the same period, regulated prices increased 4.6% driven by public services rates adjustments.

The BCRA continued with its astringent monetary policy profile, keeping the reference rate at 26.25% until October. Then, reaffirming its commitment, the Central Bank carried out two monetary policy rate raises: the rate increased by 150 bp and 100 bp in the meeting held October 25 and November 7, respectively, reaching 28.75%.

In the third quarter 2017, the peso depreciated by 4.3%, from AR$ 16.60 /USD at the end of June to AR$ 17.32 at the close of September, evidencing thus a devaluation of 14.2% in the last 12 months.

As of September 30, 2017, international reserves amounted to USD 50,237 million, a growth of USD 2,242 million since the closing of June 2017.

The same as in the first two quarters of the year, the fiscal deficit easily met the goal, set at 3.2% of GDP. In the third quarter of the year, primary deficit totaled $ 78,093 million, which represents 2.2% of GDP, and a 19.3% reduction in relation to the result shown in the same period of 2016. Economic subsidies, which basically comprise energy and transport, and account for 66% of the primary fiscal deficit of the period July-September, fell 33.9% compared to the same period of the previous year, in which they accounted for 80.9% of the primary fiscal result.

Net financial income grew 15.7% in the third quarter of the year, and 40% compared to the same quarter of 2016, mainly due to a higher volume of intermediation with the private sector, and to the increase of own funds.

On the other hand, income from assets adjusted by inflation fell as the result of the lower increase of the CER index in relation to the second quarter. Deposits average rate showed a slight increase, as a consequence of the policy implemented by the Central Bank.

The result for foreign exchange difference showed a positive evolution, both in trading income, which grew $ 129.1 million, and in results from holdings that rose $ 72.9 million during the quarter.

The Bank continued working on the reduction of local currency physical bills balance held at branches. During the quarter, said balances fell 12% versus the previous one, which represents an average 5% of deposits.

The NIM in local currency is the same compared to the previous quarter. Although there is a fall in lending rates, it is offset with a better funding mix. The NIM in foreign currency increased 30 basis points, driven by the improvement seen on the loan portfolio return.

Although the NIM by currency showed a positive evolution, total NIM fell 30 basis points due to the change in the mix, since dollar denominated assets grew 44% in the quarter, as the result of the placement of liquidity surpluses, whereas the peso denominated ones grew 10%. Total NIM deducting foreign exchange results fell 70 basis points in the quarter.

Administrative expenses increased 4.3% in the last three months and 33.0% in comparison with the same quarter of 2016.

General personnel expenses grew 2.5% over the previous quarter and 31% year-over-year. The period includes an $ 80 million provision corresponding to personnel compensation commitments included in the banking collective agreement, which in 2016 impacted on the fourth quarter. Without such provision, expenditures would have fallen slightly during the quarter, and increased 25% compared to the same period of 2016.

General expenses rose 6.5% over the previous quarter and 35.6% year-over-year.

During the period, higher tax charges and amortizations were recorded due to higher activity, investments in technology and the addition of the corporate office. Price of branch rents also went up. These effects were partially offset by a reduction of the transport of valuables item, which evidences the actions taken by the Bank to control this expenditure.

The efficiency ratio improves by 850 bp during the quarter, to 57%, as the result of both higher income, and higher expenditure restraint.

Within the frame of the transformation strategy, it is worth highlighting that, during the year, cashier transactions in branches decreased 20%, thus allowing for a reallocation of resources to more productive tasks, while hard copy account statements continued to be reduced, as a result of a strong campaign to lure customers to choose the digital format.

Other Income / Expenditures

The Other Income/Expenditure item showed a loss of $ 121.6 million in the third quarter of 2017, as the result of the fact that it includes higher provisions for other contingencies, mainly commercial.

Income from Equity Investments

Income from equity investments sets forth net income from related companies that are not consolidated. During the third quarter of 2017, the profit amounted to $ 118.2 million.

The portfolio of public securities fell 5.8% over the previous quarter and increased 120.5% in the last twelve months, mainly due to a larger placement in dollar denominated Treasury Bills.

During the quarter, repos were executed with the Argentine Republic for USD 250 million, maturing in December 2018 and March 2019.

As of September 30, 2017, the Federal Government public debt represented 3.7% of the Bank’s assets, while Central Bank Bills totaled 7.2% thereof.

(1) Non-performing loans include: all loans to borrowers classified as “Problem”, “Deficient Servicing”, “High Insolvency Risk”, “Difficult Recovery”, “Irrecoverable” and “Irrecoverable for Technical Decision” according to the new Central Bank debtor classification system.

As of September 30, 2017, the asset quality ratio (non-performing loans/total loans) was 0.7%, with a coverage ratio (provisions/non-performing loans) of 271.06%.

The non-performing ratio showed an improvement in relation to both the previous quarter, and the same quarter of 2016, evidencing a fall of 15 and 13 basis points, respectively, mainly due to the important growth of the loans portfolio.

On the other hand, the risk cost was 1.43%. The increase is explained by the higher generic provisions recorded during the quarter.

The following table shows the evolution of provisions for loan losses, including charges from transactions accounted for under “Other receivables” due to financial intermediation.
