The company operates as a financial services conglomerate serving both individual customers and corporate clients, with activities spanning traditional banking services and non-bank financial offerings.
From a business perspective, Grupo Supervielle is organized around core segments that reflect how it generates and manages customer relationships: (1) Personal and Business Banking, which addresses everyday banking needs through deposit products such as savings, checking and fixed-term options, as well as lending products including consumer, mortgage and vehicle loans; (2) Corporate Banking, which provides financing and transaction-oriented services for companies, such as working capital solutions, project development financing, overdraft facilities, and bank guarantees; (3) Treasury and Finance, supporting liquidity, funding and financial risk management; (4) Capital Markets and Structuring, which supports more complex financing and market-linked activities; and (5) Support Areas that enable operations across the group.
In terms of products and services, the group also supports payments and employee-related cash flows (including payroll services), issues credit/debit cards, and helps manage benefits payments for senior citizens. It further expands into trade and international services through factoring, trade finance, and international guarantees. Beyond core banking, Grupo Supervielle offers investment-related products and services such as mutual funds and investment vehicles, provides comprehensive insurance coverage (including personal accident, unemployment and pet-related insurance), and operates as an online brokerage platform. Asset management capabilities complement its broader investment offerings.
Distribution and customer access are reinforced through an extensive physical network across Argentina, including branches and self-service infrastructure, supporting both retail acquisition and service delivery. The scale of its workforce and branch footprint indicate a bank designed for mass-market coverage with the ability to serve corporate clients as well.
On scale and financial considerations, the provided snapshot metrics indicate the group’s structure typical of regional banks/financial services firms, where valuation and profitability can vary over cycles due to credit quality, funding costs and economic conditions in Argentina.

Ana Bartesaghi: Good morning, and welcome to Grupo Supervielle's Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings Call. I'm Ana Bartesaghi, Treasurer and IRO. Today's conference call is being recorded. [Operator Instructions] Speaking today are Patricio Supervielle, our Chairman and CEO; and Mariano Biglia, our CFO. Gustavo Paco Manriquez, Banco Supervielle''s CEO; and [Diego Pizzulli], CEO of Inverted Online, will also be available during the Q&A session.

Julio Patricio Supervielle: Thank you, Ana. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. In the fourth quarter, we delivered results within our guidance range and positioned the balance sheet for industry recovery. The period was marked by elevated system-wide credit stress, which we were not immune to. However, in several key areas, we outperformed the industry. Let me walk you through the key drivers of our quarter results. First, loan growth continued to outperform the industry. Total loans grew 8% sequentially and 37% year-over-year. Growth was led by corporates, which expanded 25% quarter-over-quarter and now represents 63% of the portfolio. Retail balances declined sequentially as we prioritize risk-adjusted returns and tightened underwriting in response to the more volatile environment. Second, Asset quality reflects the peak of the stress cycle. The NPL ratio increased to 5%, consistent with industry trends, rapid loan growth since 2024 and the significantly restrictive monetary conditions early in the year. Cost of risk reached the upper end of our guidance range, also reflecting updated macroeconomic assumptions under IFRS 9. Third, funding remained resilient despite strategic deleveraging. Total deposits declined sequentially as we reduced wholesale institutional funding to optimize the balance sheet. In contrast, core transactional balances remain resilient. U.S. dollar deposits increased 42% year-over-year, gaining 60 basis points of market share, while remunerated accounts continued gaining traction among payroll and SME clients. Fourth, we reported an attributable net loss of Argentine's AR 19.5 billion, narrowing significantly from the third quarter loss. The improvement reflected margin recovery and strict cost control despite elevated cost of risk based on updated macro assumptions and system-wide credit stress. Encouragingly, NIM rebounded sequentially, supported by lower funding costs and better investment portfolio yields, while personnel expenses declined 6% sequentially. Importantly, CET1 strengthened to 15.4%, up 220 basis points quarter-over-quarter, preserving flexibility for 2026 growth. In sum, 4Q '25 was a transition quarter marked by strong loan growth, peak cost of risk, margin recovery and solid capital. Let me now turn to the broader environment. The fourth quarter marked the peak of an exceptionally tight …
