**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm** 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (not presented herein) appearing under Item 15 of the Company´s 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F . Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded GGAL Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries, from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 because they were acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2024. We have also excluded GGAL Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. GGAL Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries are subsidiaries excluded from management's assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting whose total assets, shareholder's equity and net income from interest, collectively represent approximately 19%, 26% and 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and

------

procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

*Valuation of the expected credit loss allowance*

As described in Notes 2.b and 45 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's expected credit loss allowance was Ps. 770,114,642 thousand as of December 31, 2024. Management assesses impairment by estimating the expected credit loss allowance in accordance with IFRS 9. Management's models to determine the expected credit loss allowance involve significant judgement in relation to making assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward-looking factor.

The principal considerations for our determination that the valuation of the expected credit loss allowance is a critical audit matter are: (i) the significant judgment by management in assessing impairment by estimating the expected credit losses; and (ii) the audit procedures performed related to the assessment of the valuation of the expected credit loss allowance involved significant auditor judgment and effort, as well as the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the expected credit loss allowance, including controls over the data and management's assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward-looking factor. These procedures also included, among others; (i) evaluating the reasonableness of the process followed by management to develop macroeconomic scenarios; (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the historical and projected macroeconomic data in the scenarios developed by management; and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data provided by management. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the reasonableness of the process and the projected macroeconomic scenarios.

*Purchase price allocation in the business combination process of GGAL Holdings S.A.*

As described in Note 2.e. and 15.3. to the consolidated financial statements, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. acquired, directly and indirectly, 100% of GGAL Holdings S.A. On December 6, 2024, the business combination was materialized through the transfer of the participation and the fair value of the net assets acquired was Ps. 1,946,905,973. The Company applied IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" which establishes the purchase method as the methodology for accounting for business acquisitions. Under this method, the Company's assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value. In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent available. When Level 1 data are unavailable, the Company estimates the fair value of an asset or liability by converting future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and expenses) to a single present value (i.e., discounted). Management's cash flow projections for the acquired intangible assets involve significant judgments and estimates such as discount rates, revenue growth rates and attrition rates for the various identified intangibles.

The principal considerations for our determination that the purchase price allocation in the business combination process of GGAL Holdings S.A. is a critical audit matter are: (i) the significant judgment by management in the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired that do not have observable input data in the market to make the estimation which involve significant judgments and estimates related to discount rates, revenue growth rates and attrition rates for the various identified intangibles; and (ii) the audit procedures performed related to the assessment of the valuation of those

------

assets and liabilities involved significant auditor judgment and effort, as well as the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management's valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired. These procedures also included, among others; (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the methods used by management; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the methods; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth rates and discount rates for fair value estimations. Evaluating management's assumptions related to discount rates, revenue growth rates and attrition rates involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the GGAL Holdings S.A. business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness and consistency of the fair value estimation models and methods and (ii) the reasonableness of key assumptions such as discount rates, revenue growth rates and attrition rates.

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

**(a) Purpose of these recast consolidated financial statement**

On April 25, 2025, the Company filed with the SEC its 2024 Form 20-F which included its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three-years in the period ended December 31, 2024 (the "Audited Consolidated Financial Statements"). These Audited Consolidated Financial Statements were presented in the purchasing power current at the end of the reporting year (December 31, 2024) in accordance with IAS 29, as further described in Note 1.c).

The Company plans to file a post effective amendment on its Form F-3 (File No. 333-284113) (the "Registration Statement") on June 2025. The referred Registration Statements will incorporate by reference the Company´s latest unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2025. These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements are presented in the current purchasing power at the end of the reporting period (March 31, 2025) in accordance with IAS 29. Therefore, the Company is preparing these recast Audited Consolidated Financial Statements to measure them in equivalent purchasing power units as of March 31, 2025, the most recent financial period incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, in accordance with IAS 29 (the "Recast Audited Consolidated Financial Statements").

The National Consumer Price Index as of March 31, 2025 was 8353.3158 and the cumulative inflation rate for the three-month period then ended was 8.60%.

**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Going Concern** 

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Group´s ability to continue as a going concern.

**(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Measurement Unit** 

IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of the current measurement unit as of the reporting period-end, irrespective of whether they are based on the historical cost or the current cost method. Accordingly, in general terms, non-monetary items should be adjusted for inflation occurring since the acquisition date or since the revaluation date, as the case may be. These requirements are also applicable to the comparative information reported in the financial statements. According to IAS 29, monetary assets and liabilities are not required to be restated, for they are stated in the measurement unit as of the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements will be adjusted on the basis of such agreements. Non-monetary items measured at their fair values at the end of the reporting period, such as net realizable value or otherwise, will not be restated. The other non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated by applying a general price index. The income (loss) from the net monetary position will be charged to net income for the reporting period in a separate item.

In order to conclude whether a given economy qualifies as hyperinflationary pursuant to the terms of IAS 29, the standard sets forth certain factors that should be considered, including a three-year cumulative inflation rate reaching or exceeding 100%.

The Group has applied IAS 29, *Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary Economy*, in preparing these consolidated financial statements for all years presented.

These consolidated financial statements are based on a historical cost.

---

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not effective and that are expected to have a significant impact on the Group.

**1.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONSOLIDATION**

Subsidiaries are those entities, including structured entities, where the Group is in control because (i) it has the power to direct relevant activities of the investee, which significantly affect its returns; (ii) it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns for its interest in the investee; and (iii) it has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. The existence and effect of the substantive rights, including potential voting rights, are considered when evaluating whether the Group has control over another entity. For a right to be substantive, the holder must have the practical ability to exercise it whenever necessary to make decisions on the direction of the relevant activities of the entity. The Group may be in control of an entity even when possessing less than the majority of the voting rights.

Likewise, the protective rights of other investors, such as those related to substantive changes in the activities of the investee or applied only in exceptional circumstances, do not prevent the Group from having control over an investee. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the control is transferred to the Group, and they cease to be consolidated as of the date on which the control ceases.

The subsidiaries which have been consolidated in these Consolidated Financial Statements are detailed in Note 15.

For the purpose of consolidating its financial statements, the Group used the subsidiaries' financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies applied by Sudamericana Holding SA., GGAL Seguros S.A. and GGAL Seguros de Retiro S.A. are established by the National Insurance Superintendency and have been adjusted to those applied by the Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group's companies were eliminated. See Note 51.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholder's equity and consolidated statement of financial position, respectively.

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business combinations", the acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date. The group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.

The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities assumed by the acquirer with the previous owners of the investee, and the equity instruments issued by the acquirer. The transaction costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs have been incurred and

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

the services have been received, except for the transaction costs incurred to issue equity instruments that are deducted from equity, and the transaction costs incurred to issue debt that are deducted from their carrying amount.

The excess of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the consideration transferred,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity

over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

**1.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 within equity attributable to owners of the Group.

**1.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASSOCIATES**

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant direct or indirect influence, but not control; generally, this implies holding 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 carrying amount of the associates includes the goodwill identified in the acquisition less the accumulated impairment losses, if any. Dividends received from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Other changes subsequent to the acquisition of the Group's interest in the net assets of an associate are recognized as follows: (i) the Group's interest in the profits or losses of the associates is accounted under Share of Profit from Associates and Joint Ventures in the consolidated statement of income and (ii) the Group's interest in other comprehensive income is recognized in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and presented separately. However, when the Group's share in losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in it, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

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

**1.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SEGMENT REPORTING** 

An operating segment is a component of an entity (a) that conducts business activities from which it can earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same entity); (b) whose operating income is regularly reviewed by the Group´s CODM (chief operating decision maker) to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (c) for which confidential financial information is available.

Segment reporting is presented consistently with the internal reports submitted to the Board of Directors (CODM of the Group), which is responsible for making the Group's strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments.

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

**1.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION** 

**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Functional Currency and Presentation Currency** 

The figures included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group´s entities are stated in their functional currency, that is, the currency used in the primary economic environment where it operates. The consolidated financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos (Ps.), which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.

**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transactions and Balances** 

The transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Profits and losses in foreign currency resulting from the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency at closing exchange rate, are recognized under "Exchange rate differences on gold and foreign currency" in the statement of income.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the US dollar defined by the Argentine Central Bank at the closing of operations on the last business day of each month.

As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, balances in U.S. Dollars were translated at the reference exchange rate (Ps.1,032.50 and Ps.808.48, respectively) established by the Argentine Central Bank. Foreign currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into this currency using exchange rates reported by the Argentine Central Bank.

**(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Group companies**

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions). Subsequently, the converted balances were adjusted for inflation in order to present them in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

**1.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS** 

The item Cash and Due from Banks, includes cash on hand, demand deposits held with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, which are short-term instruments with maturity less than three months from the origination date.

The assets disclosed under cash and due from banks are accounted for at their amortized cost which approximates its fair value.

**1.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

**Initial Recognition** 

The Group recognizes a financial asset or liability in its consolidated financial statements, as appropriate, when it becomes part of the contractual clauses of the financial instrument. Purchases and sales are recognized at the trading date when the Group buys or sells the instruments.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures financial assets or liabilities at fair value, plus or less, for instruments not recognized at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, such as fees and commissions.

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

a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 profit or loss.

b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In all other cases, the difference is deferred and the timing of recognition of deferred day one profit or loss is individually determined. 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Debt Securities**

The Group considers as debt securities those instruments considered financial liabilities for the issuer, such as loans, government and private securities, bonds and accounts receivable from customers.

<u>Classification</u> 

As established by IFRS 9, the Group classifies financial assets according to how they are subsequently measured: at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit or loss, based on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Group's business model to manage financial assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the characteristics of contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

<u>Business Model</u> 

The Business Model refers to the way in which the Group manages a set of financial assets to reach a specific business objective. It represents the way the Group manages its financial instruments to generate cash flows.

Business models that the Group can follow are listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hold the instruments to collect its contractual cash flows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hold the instruments in the portfolio to collect contractual cash flows and, in turn, sell them when deemed convenient; or;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hold the instruments for trading.

The Group's Business Model does not depend on the intentions that it may have for an individual instrument. Therefore, this condition is not an instrument-by-instrument classification approach, but it is determined from a higher level of aggregation.

The Group only reclassifies an instrument when, and only when, the business model for managing financial assets is modified. The reclassification is made as of the beginning of the year in which the change occurs. Such change is not expected to be frequent, and changes have not been recorded during this fiscal year.

<u>Characteristics of Contractual Cash Flows</u> 

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.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

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

(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial assets measured at amortized cost:

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when:

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

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

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The amortized cost of a financial asset is equal to its acquisition cost less its accumulated amortization plus accrued interest (calculated according to the effective interest method), net of any impairment loss.

(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

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

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows which are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding amount.

These instruments are initially recognized at their fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Profits and losses arising from the changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income within a separate equity component. Impairment losses or reversals, income for interest and exchange profits and losses are recognized through profit or loss. Upon its sale or disposal, the accumulated profit or loss previously recognized through other comprehensive income is reclassified to the statement of income.

(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Instruments held for trading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Instruments specifically designated at fair value through profit or loss; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Instruments whose contractual terms do not represent cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income as they are realized.

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

**b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equity Instruments** 

Equity instruments are instruments that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay cash or any other financial asset 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 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

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

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.

**Financial Liabilities** 

<u>Classification</u>

The Group classifies their financial liabilities at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, except for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets not complying with the derecognition criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial guarantee contracts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Loan commitments at a lower than market rate.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss: the Group may choose to use, at the beginning, the irrevocable option to designate a liability at fair value through profit or loss, if, and only if, in doing so, it reflects a better measurement of financial information because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Group eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistency which would otherwise be exposed in the valuation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if financial assets and liabilities are managed and their performance is assessed on a fair value basis, according to a documented investment or risk management strategy; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a host contract contains one or more embedded derivative instruments, and the Group has opted for designating the entire contract at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial guarantee contracts: Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts requiring the issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder for the loss incurred when a specific debtor does not comply with its payment obligation on maturity, in accordance with the original or amended terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of the loss allowance and the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized.

**Derecognition of Financial Instruments** 

<u>Financial Assets</u>

A financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets, is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay all of the cash flows received immediately to a third party under a pass-through agreement; and all the risks and rewards of the asset have also been substantially transferred, or, in case all the risks and rewards of the asset had not been substantially transferred or retained, the control of the asset has been transferred.

When the contractual rights of receiving the cash flows generated by the asset have been transferred, or a transfer agreement has been executed, the entity assesses if it has retained, and to what extent, the risks and awards inherent in asset ownership. When substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in asset ownership have not been transferred or retained, nor has control of the asset been transferred, the asset continues to be recognized to the extent of its continued involvement over it.

In this case, the related liability is also recognized. The transferred asset and the related liability are measured in such a way so as to reflect the rights and obligations that the Group had retained.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

A continuing involvement that takes the form of a collateral on the transferred asset is measured as the smallest amount between (i) the original carrying amount of the asset, and (ii) the maximum amount of consideration received that would be required to be returned.

<u>Financial Liabilities:</u> 

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation, has been cancelled, or has expired. When an existing financial liability is exchanged by another of the same borrower under significantly different conditions, or the conditions are significantly modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a new liability is recognized, the difference between the carrying value of the initial financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. When the conditions of the renegotiation are not significantly different or the conditions are not substantially modified, the cash flows of the modified financial liabilities are discounted at the effective interest rate of the original contract.

**1.9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

Derivative Financial instruments, including foreign currency contracts, futures, forward contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, interest rate options and foreign currency options are recorder at their fair value.

All derivative financial instruments are recorded as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative, against the agreed price. The changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in profit or loss.

In these consolidated financial statements, the Group has not applied hedge accounting.

**1.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS** 

**Reverse Repurchase Transactions** 

According to the derecognition principles in IFRS 9, these transactions are considered as secured borrowings, since the risk has not been transferred to the counterpart.

Financing granted through reverse repurchase transactions are recorded under "Repurchase Transactions" accounts, classified by counterparty and considering the asset received as collateral.

At the closing of each month, accrued interest receivable is imputed to the "Repurchase Transactions" account with offsetting entry in "Interest Income".

The underlying assets received for the reverse repurchase transactions will be recorded in Off-Balance Sheet Items. The assets received and sold 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.

**Repurchase Transactions** 

Financing received through repurchase transactions are recorded under "Repurchase Transactions" accounts, classified by counterparty and considering the asset pledged as collateral.

In these transactions, when the receiver of the underlying asset obtains the right to sell it or pledge it as collateral, this is reclassified to the "Financial Assets Pledged as Collateral" accounts.

At the closing of each month, accrued interest payable is imputed to the "Repurchase Transactions" account with offsetting entry in "Interest Expenses".

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

**1.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS ALLOWANCE** 

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss ("ECL") associated with its debt instruments assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI, together with the exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. The Group recognizes a loss allowance for such losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An unbiased and probability-weighted amount is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The time value of money, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Note 45 provides more detail of how the expected credit loss allowance is measured.

**1.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEASES** 

**1.12.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lease activities of the Group** 

The Group is the lessee of various properties to be used in its ordinary course of business. Lease contracts are generally made for fixed periods, from 1 to 20 years, but in some cases, there may be price agreements for shorter periods with extension options. Lease terms are individually negotiated and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• variable lease payments based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate on the initial date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

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

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if it can be determined; or otherwise, the Group's incremental borrowing rate will be applied, which is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary funds to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of- use asset, in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period, to produce a constant, periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at their cost, comprising the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any lease payment made on or before the initial date, less any lease incentives received;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any initial direct cost; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restoration and dismantling costs.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset useful life and the lease term on a straight-line method.

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 take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate become effective, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted to the right-of-use asset.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Payments related to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not contain a bargain purchase option. Low-value assets are mainly small physical spaces to place equipment which are owned by the Group.

**1.12.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extension and Termination Options** 

The extension and termination options that are included in several Property, Plant and Equipment leases were considered to determine the term of the lease. These options are used to maximize the operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in our operations. Most of the extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.

**1.13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT** 

Assets are measured at their acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciations and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost includes the expenses directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the items.

Property, Plant and Equipment acquired through business combinations were initially valued at the estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

Subsequent costs are included in the value of the asset or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, if and only if they are likely to generate future economic benefits for the Group, and its cost can be reasonably measured. When improvements are made to the asset, the carrying amount of the replaced asset is derecognized, the new asset being amortized for the remaining useful life.

Repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the year in which they are incurred.

The depreciation of these assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over, their estimated useful lives. If an asset includes significant components with different useful lives, they are recognized and depreciated as separate items.

The residual values of Property, Plant and Equipment, the useful lives and the depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if necessary, at the closing date of each fiscal year, or when there is evidence of impairment.

The book value of the Property, Plant and Equipment is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount when it is greater than the estimated recoverable value.

Profits and losses from the sale of Property, Plant and Equipment items are determined by comparing the proceeds from the disposal to the carrying amount of the respective asset and are charged to income.

For certain properties, which are not in use, an impairment was recognized as their carrying amount exceeded the fair value. The determination of the fair values as at 31 October 2024 was performed by external valuers. The external valuers used the 'direct comparison' methodology for the calculation of the property valuations. This method of calculating fair value corresponds to Level 3. As at 31 December 2024, the Group has recognized impairment on the value of real estate in the amount of Ps.2,175,874.

**1.14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INTANGIBLE ASSETS** 

**1.14.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Licenses** 

Licenses acquired individually are initially valued at cost, while those acquired through business combinations are recognized at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

At the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, intangible assets with a finite useful life are presented net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. These assets are subject to impairment tests annually, or when there is evidence of impairment.

The licenses acquired by the Group have been classified as intangible assets with a finite useful life, being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the license.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are the assets arising from contracts or other legal rights, that can be renewed without significant cost, and for which, based on an analysis of all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit of the period along which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the Group. These intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to impairment tests, annually or when there is evidence of impairment, either individually or at the level of the cash generating unit. The determination of the indefinite useful life is annually reviewed to confirm if it continues being applicable.

**1.14.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Software** 

The costs related to software maintenance are recognized as expense when incurred. The development, acquisition and implementation costs that are directly attributable to software design and testing, identifiable and monitored by the Group, are recognized as assets.

The costs incurred in software development, acquisition or implementation, recognized as intangible assets, are amortized by applying the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

**1.14.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Core Deposits**

Core deposits intangible was identified as part of the GGAL Holdings S.A. acquisition (Note 15.3). This asset was not recognized in GGAL Holdings S.A.'s financial statements. Fair value was determined using the cost savings method under the income approach. Cost savings were calculated by comparing the cost of existing deposits (including the cost of maintaining them) with the cost of obtaining alternative funds from a mix of diversified funding sources available to market participants. The core deposits intangible asset represents the present value of the cost savings expected to be realized over the deposits' remaining useful life. The valuation of the intangible asset includes assumptions consistent with how a market participant would estimate fair values, such as growth and attrition rates and projected fee and interest income, as well as deposit-related costs and discount rates. Depreciation was based on the terms of the core deposits identified at the acquire.

**1.15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASSETS HELD FOR SALE** 

The assets, or group of assets, classified as available for sale in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations," are disclosed separately from the rest of the assets.

Non-current assets or disposal groups (including the loss of control over a subsidiary) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. In order for an asset to be classified as held for sale, it must meet the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it must be available for immediate sale in its current condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and must have initiated an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price in relation to its current fair value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the sale is expected to be completed within 12 months from its reclassification date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn.

The assets, or groups of assets, 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 and are restated in accordance with Note 22.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale.

**1.16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS** 

Assets with indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and 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.

Depreciation and impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount exceeds their recoverable value. The recoverable value of assets is the greater of the net amount that it would obtain from its sale, or its value in use. For the impairment tests, the assets are grouped at the lowest level where they generate identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). The carrying amount of non-financial assets other than goodwill over which depreciation and impairment have been recorded, are reviewed at each reporting date for verifying possible depreciation and impairment reversals.

For certain properties, which are not in use, an impairment was recognized as their carrying amount exceeded the fair value. The determination of the fair values as at 31 October 2024 was performed by external valuers. The external valuers used the 'direct comparison' methodology for the calculation of the property valuations. This method of calculating fair value corresponds to Level 3. As at 31 December 2024, the Group has recognized impairment on the value of real estate in the amount of Ps.18,564,440.

**1.17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TRUST ASSETS** 

The assets held by the Group in its trustee role are not reported in the consolidated statement of financial position, because the Group is not in control of the trust or the risks and rewards of the underlying assets. Fees received from trust activities are recorded in Fee Income.

**1.18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OFFSETTING** 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset by reporting the net amount in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

**1.19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCING RECEIVED FROM THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS**

The amounts owed to other Financial Institutions are recorded at the time the principal is disbursed to the Group. Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. If the Group repurchases its own debt, it is eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid is recognized as a financial income or expense.

**1.20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES** 

In accordance with IFRS a provision will be recognized when:

a.an Entity has a current obligation (either legal or implicit) as a consequence of a past event;

b.it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

c.the amount can be reliably estimated.

The Group will be deemed to have a constructive obligation if (a) as a result of past practices or public policies the Group has assumed certain responsibilities; and (b) as a result, it has created expectations that it will comply with those obligations. The Group recognizes the following provisions:

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For labor, civil, and commercial lawsuits: These are determined based on attorneys' reports on the status of the lawsuits and estimates of the potential for losses the Group may face, as well as past experience with these types of lawsuits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For miscellaneous risks: these are established to address contingent situations that could give rise to obligations for the Group. The estimated amounts consider the likelihood of their occurrence, taking into account the opinions of the Group's legal and professional advisors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Termination benefits: 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 recognizes 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 recognizes 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.

The amount recognized as provision must be the best estimate of the disbursement needed to cancel such obligation, at the end of the year being reported.

When the financial effect of the discount is significant, the provision amount should be the present value of the expected disbursements required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects current market conditions regarding the time value of money and the risks specific to that obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time would be recognized in the net financial results line of the income statement.

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

As of the date of issue of these consolidated financial statements, Group Management understands that no elements have been presented that would allow determining the existence of other contingencies that could materialize and generate a negative impact on these consolidated financial statements other than those detailed in Notes 29 and 46.

**1.21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OTHER NON-FINANCIAL LIABILITIES** 

Non-financial accounts payable are accrued when the counterparty has complied its contractual obligations under the contract, and they are measured at amortized cost.

**1.22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DEBT SECURITIES AND SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES** 

The Group's Debt Securities and Subordinated Debt Securities are measured at amortized cost. If the Group purchases its own debt, the obligation in Liabilities related to such debt securities is considered extinguished, and, therefore, it is derecognized. If the Group repurchases its own debt, this is eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid is recognized as a financial income or expense.

**1.23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE CONTRACTS** 

On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts'.

**Insurance contracts**

Insurance contracts are contracts under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from a policyholder by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specific uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder. In making this assessment, all material rights and obligations, including those arising from laws or regulations, are considered on a contract-by-contract basis. The Group uses its judgment to assess whether a contract transfers insurance risk (i.e., whether there is a scenario with commercial substance in which the Group has the possibility of a loss on a present value basis) and whether the insurance risk accepted is significant.

**Separation of components**

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Contracts that have a legal form of insurance but do not transfer significant insurance risk and expose the Group to financial risks are classified as investment contracts and follow the accounting for financial instruments under IFRS 9. The Group has assessed whether its contracts accept significant insurance risk from another party by agreeing to compensate the insurance policyholder if an uncertain future event occurs that adversely affects it.

**Aggregation level**

The grouping of contracts in units of account is made according to the types of products, onerousness and year of underwriting; since they have similar risks, they are managed together and no portfolio of contracts may contain contracts issued more than one year apart.

The Group classifies a portfolio of insurance contracts as onerous or non-onerous based on the expected profitability at the policy or contract level at the time of recognition.

**Recognition of insurance and reinsurance contracts** 

IFRS 17 includes three measurement models, reflecting a different degree of policyholder involvement in the investment performance or overall performance of the insurance entity: the General Measurement Model (GMM, also known as the Building Block Approach (BBA)), the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) and the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA).

**Measurement of Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts**

**Liability for remaining coverage under the GMM/VFA**

The liability for remaining coverage (LRC) under the GMM consists of the fulfillment cash flows related to future services and the contractual service margin (CSM). The fulfillment cash flows represent the risk adjusted present value of Group's rights and obligations to the policyholders, comprising the building blocks of estimates of expected future cash flows, discounting, and an explicit risk adjustment for nonfinancial risk. The CSM represents the unearned profit from in-force contracts that an entity will recognize as it provides services over the coverage period. Each building block is measured separately, both on initial recognition and for subsequent measurement.

Estimated of expected cash flows: comprise the estimation of future cash flows discounted to reflect the time value of money, the financial risk associated, and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk that would represent the compensation required for the uncertainty associated with the amount and timing of the expected cash flows.

The CSM represents the unearned profit and results in no income or expense at initial recognition when the group of contracts is profitable. The CSM is adjusted at each subsequent reporting period for changes in fulfillment cash flows relating to future service (e.g. changes in noneconomic assumptions, including mortality and morbidity rates). For initial recognition of onerous groups of contracts and when groups of contracts become onerous subsequently, losses are recognized in insurance service expense immediately.

For groups of contracts measured using the VFA, changes in the Group's share of the underlying items, and economic experience and economic assumption changes adjust the CSM, whereas these changes do not adjust the CSM under the GMM, but are recognized in profit or loss as they arise.

The CSM is systematically recognized in insurance revenue to reflect the insurance contract services provided.

**Risk adjustment for non financial risk**

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the compensation the Group requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of cash flows arising from insurance risk and other non-financial risks such as lapse risk and expense risk. It measures the degree of variability of expected future cash flows and the Group's specific price for assuming that risk and reflects the Group's degree of risk aversion. The resulting risk adjustment corresponds to a confidence level of 75% .

**Discount rate**

IFRS 17 requires a measurement of the present value of future cash flows, for which it is necessary to define discount rates that reflect the time value of money. Without precise guidelines, the standard refers to bottom-up and top-down approaches, respectively.

The bottom-up approach is based on a risk-free curve to which an illiquidity premium is added; the top-down approach is based on a measure of return on a linked portfolio of assets, from which the associated credit risk is subtracted.

The Group has defined a methodology for the determination of discount rates, taking into account the general indications of the standard.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

For the long term insurance business acquired in 2024 the Group has used the following yield curves to discount the estimate of future cash flows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Currency | Ps. | US$ | Ps, CER |
| Maturity (years) | 12.31.24 | 12.31.24 | 12.31.24 |
| 1 | 32.55% | 4.50% | 7.53% |

**Mortality Tables – Life business**

The Group derives mortality rates assumptions from the tables that are detailed in this note. An investigation into the Group's experience is performed, and statistical methods are used to adjust the mortality tables to produce the probability-weighted expected mortality rates in the future over the duration of the insurance contracts.

The mortality assumptions were based on mortality tables CSO2001 and AR2010 for the insurance business acquired in 2024.

For the remaining life business the mortality assumptions were based on mortality tables GAM83.

**Simplified Model**

The Simplified Model has been applied for contracts of a coverage period of one year or less, or in those contracts with a duration of more than one year, a material valuation other than the General Model is not expected to occur.

Under the simplified approach, the Group assumes that such contracts are not onerous at initial recognition, unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise. If facts and circumstances indicate that some contracts are onerous, an additional

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

assessment is made to distinguish onerous from non-onerous contracts. For non-onerous contracts, the Group assesses the likelihood of changes in the applicable facts and circumstances in subsequent periods to determine whether the contracts have a significant possibility of becoming onerous.

Under this model, the remaining hedge liability consists of the premiums received (collected), less the insurance acquisition cash flows paid, plus or minus the allocation to income of the premiums or expected acquisition cash flows, respectively. The allocation to income is made on a straight-line basis over the period of coverage of the contract, in the event that the accrual of income is also straight-line. The Group has chosen to defer acquisition costs, although there is an option to recognize such costs as they are incurred.

The Group does not adjust the remaining hedge liability for insurance contracts issued for the effect of the time value of money because the insurance premiums expire within the coverage period of the contracts, which is one year or less.

Groups of contracts measured under the simplified model have an incurred claims liability calculated in a manner similar to that of the General Model. For contracts measured under the simplified method, the incurred claims liability is measured similarly to the measurement under the general model. Future cash flows are adjusted for the time value of money, as certain insurance contracts issued by the Group and measured under the PAA typically have a settlement period longer than one year. In addition, the risk adjustment for non-financial risk is applied to the present value of estimated future cash flows and reflects the compensation the Group requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of non-financial risk cash flows as the Group fulfills insurance contracts. The risk adjustment for LIC corresponds to a confidence level in the range of 65% to 67%.

**Reinsurance**

In general, the Group values reinsurance contracts under the Simplified Model, valuing the asset for remaining coverage of contracts with a coverage period equal to or less than one year, or in those contracts with a duration of more than one year, but which are not expected to result in a valuation significantly different from that of the General Model. This method also includes the asset for claims incurred.

**Insurance service results**

Insurance revenue reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the provision of coverage and other insurance contract services. Insurance service expenses comprise claims incurred and other insurance service expenses incurred, and losses on onerous groups of contracts and reversals of such losses.

The Group applies the accounting policy set out in IFRS 17.86 and presents the financial performance of groups of reinsurance contracts held on a net basis in net income (expense) from reinsurance contracts held.

As a general rule, for the presentation of financial income or expense from insurance contracts arising as a result of the effect of the time value of money and the effect of financial risk disclosed in "Other Operating Expenses", the Group does not disaggregate changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk between insurance service result and insurance financial income or expense.

The Group includes all insurance financial income or expense for the period in profit or loss.

**1.24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY**

Shareholders' equity accounts are restated in accordance with Note 1.1.b., except for the item "Capital Stock", which is carried at face value. The restatement adjustment is included in "Equity Adjustments".

Ordinary shares are classified in Shareholders' Equity and remain recorded at their nominal value. When any company forming part of the Group buys Company shares (treasury shares in portfolio), the payment made, including any costs directly attributable to the transaction (net of taxes) is deducted from the Shareholders' Equity until the shares are canceled or sold.

**1.25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PROFIT RESERVES** 

According to Art. 70 of the General Companies Act, the Company and its subsidiaries, except Banco Galicia, Banco GGAL S.A. and Naranja Digital Compañía Financiera S.A.U., must transfer to Legal Reserve 5% of the profit for the year, until said reserve reaches 20% of the capital stock plus the balance of the Equity Adjustment account.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Regarding Banco Galicia, Banco GGALS.A. and Naranja Digital Compañía Financiera S.A.U., in accordance with the regulations established by the Argentine Central Bank, it is required to allocate to Legal Reserve 20% of the profits for the year, net of the eventual adjustments of previous fiscal years, if applicable. However, for the allocation of Other Reserves, the Financial Institutions must comply with the Argentine Central Bank provisions of the Amended Text on income distribution detailed in Note 52.

**1.26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DIVIDENDS DISTRIBUTION** 

The dividends distribution to the Group's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements in the year in which the dividends are approved by the Group's shareholders.

**1.27.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REVENUE RECOGNITION** 

Financial income and expenses are recorded for all debt instruments according to the effective interest rate method, by which all gains and losses that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of the transaction are deferred.

The income included in the effective interest rate includes disbursements or income related to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or liability, such as, for example, the preparation and processing of the documents necessary to conclude the transaction and the compensation received by the granting of credit agreements. The Group records all its non-derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost, except those included in the item "Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" which are measured at fair value.

Fees received by the Group for the origination of syndicated loans are not part of the effective interest rate of the product and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the time the service is provided, to the extent the Group does not retain part of it, or this is maintained in the same conditions as the rest of the participants. Commissions and fees earned by the Group on negotiations in third parties' transactions are not part of the effective interest rate either, and are recognized at the time the transactions are executed.

IFRS 15 establishes the principles that an entity shall apply to recognize revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers.

The amount that should be recognized will be the amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the services delivered to customers.

The Group's income from services is recognized in the statement of income to the extent the performance obligations are complied with, thus deferring those revenues related to customer loyalty programs; a contract liability is recognized based on the fair value of each point and on the basis of the likelihood of redemption, based on past experience. Revenue is recognized when the points are redeemed or when they expire.

Retail product and service fees related to savings and checking account operations are charged monthly, safe deposit box fees are charged quarterly, credit card renewal fees are charged annually, and bond and stock transactions are charged on each transaction.

Additionally, wholesale product fees related to account maintenance and inter-house deposits and withdrawals are charged monthly, and foreign trade transactions are charged on each transaction. These fees are recognized in the income statement in the years in which the services are provided, regardless of when they are received.

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

**1.28.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAX** 

The Income tax expense for the year comprises the current and the deferred taxes. Income tax is recognized in the statement of income, except when there are items that must be directly recognized in other comprehensive income. In this case, income tax liability related to such items is also recognized in this Statement.

The current income tax expense is calculated based on the tax laws enacted, or substantially enacted as of the date of the consolidated financial statements in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The Group periodically assesses the position assumed in tax returns as regards the situations in which tax laws are subject to interpretation. Likewise, when applicable, the Group sets up provisions on the amounts that it expects to be paid to tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is determined by the liability method on the temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. However, the deferred tax that arises from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction not corresponding to a business combination, which at the time of the transaction does not affect neither the profit nor the accounting or taxable loss, is not recorded. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and legislation) that have been enacted as of the date of the financial statements and are expected to be applicable when the deferred tax assets are realized, or the deferred tax liabilities are settled.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Group controls the timing on which temporary differences will be reversed, and.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such temporary differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

The balances of 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.

**1.29.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EARNINGS PER SHARE** 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income attributable to parent company's owners by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

**NOTE 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**<br>

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the accounting standards to define the Group's accounting policies.

Additionally, conditions related to non-financial assets are monitored to determine if they require a review of the remaining depreciation period, or if they indicate an impairment in value that can not be recovered.

The Group has identified the following areas involving a greater degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, and which are essential to understand the underlying accounting/financial reporting risks.

**a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS** 

The fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 are not listed in active markets and is therefore determined by using valuation techniques. The valuation of level 3 financial instruments involves one or more inputs which are unobservable and significant to their fair value measurement. The Group uses valuation models and unobservable inputs, including projected cash flows, discount rates and volatilities and correlations relating to interest rates and spreads, to estimate the fair value of level 3 financial instruments. These valuation techniques require management to make significant estimates and judgments.

**b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VALUATION OF THE EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS ALLOWANCE** 

The Group records the allowance for loan losses under the expected credit losses (ECL) method included in IFRS 9. The most significant judgments of the model relate to making assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward looking factor. A high degree of uncertainty is involved in making estimations using assumptions that are highly subjective and very sensitive to the risk factors.

**c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT**

Intangible assets with finite useful lives and property, plant and equipment are amortized or depreciated on a straight-line basis during their estimated useful life. The Group monitors the conditions related to these assets to determine whether the events and circumstances require a review of the remaining amortization or depreciation term, and whether there are factors or circumstances indicating impairment in the value of the assets that cannot be recovered.

The Group has applied judgment to identify impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Grupo Galicia has determined impairment indicators for its real estate assets this year due to a decrease in their market value and has recorded an impairments loss of Ps.20,740,314 for certain properties not assigned to its main operations, included in the "Other non-financial assets" and "Property, plant and equipment" lines of the consolidated statement of financial position. At the end of this year, the carrying amounts did not exceed their recoverable value, determined as the higher of their fair value less costs to sell and their value in use.

**d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX** 

Significant judgment is required when determining current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The current income tax is accounted according to the amounts expected to be paid; while deferred income tax is accounted on the basis of temporary differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, at the rates expected to be in force at the time of their reversal.

A deferred tax asset is recognized when future taxable income is expected to exist to offset such temporary differences, based on Management's assumptions about the amounts and timing of such future taxable income. Actual results may differ from these estimates, for instance, changes in the applicable tax laws or the outcome of the final review of the tax returns by the tax authorities and tax courts.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Future taxable income and the number of tax benefits likely to be available in the future are based on a medium-term business plan prepared by management, on the basis of expectations which are deemed reasonable.

**e.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROCESS OF GGAL HOLDINGS S.A.**

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" establishes the purchase method as the methodology for accounting for business acquisitions. Under this method, the Company's assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value. In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent available. When Level 1 data are unavailable, the Company estimates the fair value of an asset or liability by converting future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and expenses) to a single present value (i.e., discounted). Detailed information regarding the valuation techniques and assumptions used to determine the fair value of various assets and liabilities is disclosed in Note 15.3. Management's cash flow projections for the acquired intangible assets involve significant judgments and estimates such as discount rates, revenue growth rates and attrition rates for the various identified intangibles.

**NOTE 3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**<br>

Schedule P "Categories of Financial Assets and Liabilities", discloses the measurement categories and fair value hierarchies for financial instruments.

**NOTE 4. FAIR VALUES**<br>

The Group classifies the fair values of the financial instruments in 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 (as publicly traded derivative instruments, debt securities or instruments available for sale) is based on the quoted market prices as of the date of the reporting period. If the quoted price is available within the 5 business days of the valuation date, and there is an active market for the instrument, this will be included in Level 1.

Fair Value Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active markets, for example, over-the-counter derivatives, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. If all the significant inputs required to obtain the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. If all or some of the inputs required to determine the price are not observable, the instrument will be included in Level 3.

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

**Valuation Techniques** 

The valuation techniques to determine fair values include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market prices for similar instruments.

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Determining the estimated present value of instruments.

The valuation technique to determine the fair value Level 2 is based on data other than the quoted price included in Level 1, which are directly observable for assets or liabilities, both directly (i.e., prices) and indirectly (i.e., deriving from prices).

Financial instruments classified as level 3 mainly include equity instruments for which the fair value was calculated with the assistance of independent appraisers using methods of future discounted cash flows involving a combined income and market approach.

The valuation technique to determine the fair value of other Level 3 financial instruments is based on a method that compares the existing spread between the curve of sovereign bonds and the average yield of primary offerings, for different segments, according to the different risk ratings. If there are no representative primary offerings during the month, the following alternatives will be used:

(i)Secondary market prices of instruments under the same conditions, which had quoted in the evaluation month.

(ii)prior month bidding and/or secondary market prices, which will be taken based on their representativeness.

(iii)prior month spread applied to the sovereign curve.

(iv)A specific margin is applied, defined according to historical yields of instruments under the same conditions.

As stated above, the rates and spreads to be used to discount future cash flows and originate the price of the instrument are determined.

All the modifications to the valuation methods are previously discussed and approved by the Group's key personnel.

The Group's financial instruments measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period are detailed below:

*(\*)Include the movements of levels of financial instruments classified as fair value Level 3, as described below.*

The Group's policy is to recognize transfers at the end of each month between fair value levels for the transfer to Level 3 of instruments that do not have observable market prices and for the movement to Level 1 of instruments that have observable market prices at the end of each month. Transfers are also recognized for those cases in which an instrument, in order to obtain a representative price by accruing an IRR, was categorized as Level 2.

The transfers occurred due to the transfer to Level 3 of the instruments that do not have observable market prices at the end of the period for a total of Ps.33,576,752, due to the transfer to Level 1 of the instruments that were in Level 3 for a total of Ps.(1,813,977) and due to the transfer to Level 2 of the instruments that were in Level 3 for a total of Ps.(518,150).

**NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**<br>

FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT WITH NO DELIVERY OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

The Electronic Open Market (Mercado Abierto Electrónico, MAE) and the Rosario Forward Market (ROFEX) have trading areas for the closing, recording and settlement of forward financial transactions between their Agents, including Banco Galicia and Banco GGALS.A. In general, the settlement of these transactions is made without delivering the underlying asset. The settlement is carried out daily in Argentine pesos for the difference, if any, between the closing price traded of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset of the previous day, the price difference impacting on Income.

The transactions are recorded in Off-balance Sheet Items The accrued balances pending settlement are disclosed in the "Derivative Financial Instruments" line, in Assets and/or Liabilities, as appropriate.

PURCHASE - SALE TAKEN WITH DELIVERY OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

Between July 2022 and 2024, the Argentine Central Bank conducted auctions for put option bids on securities issued by the National Treasury. Put option contracts were non-transferable and such options may be exercised at any time, from 5 business days after the security settlement until the date established in the option term. The call premiums of the options were set by the Argentine Central Bank prior to the bids, and auctions end by price acceptance.

The exercise price arised from the nominal rates traded for the underlying asset the day before the exercise date, considering the highest rate between the average rate traded on the day and the closing value for the market with the

------

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

highest volume traded between Argentine Stock Exchanges and Markets (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos, BYMA) and MAE, plus an additional charge set by the Argentine Central Bank.

In July 2024, the Argentine Central Bank offered Financial Entities the possibility to terminate the liquidity options on public securities. These options were terminated by the Entity for the full nominal value at an amount equivalent to the premium in pesos agreed upon at the time, proportional to the number of remaining days until the expiration of each contract, and increased in accordance with the variation of the CER index from the date it was paid until the settlement date of the termination.

The transactions are recorded in Off-Balance Sheet Items, at exercise price. The balances for the transaction premiums are exposed in Assets, in the "Derivative Financial Instruments" line.

The amounts of transactions as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 are as follows:

**15.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business combinations**

*Sudamericana Seguros Galicia S.A. (ex Seguros Sura S.A.)*

On August 11, 2023 Sudamericana Holding S.A. entered into a share purchase agreement with Suramericana S.A. and Santa María del Sol S.A.U. (collectively "the seller"), whereby they agreed to sell their entire shareholding in Seguros Sura S.A. after approval of such transaction by the Argentine Superintendency of Insurance (Superintendencia de Seguros de la Nación, SSN).

On September 21, 2023, the SSN approved the transaction and, as a consequence, on October 11, 2023, it was materialized through the transfer of 4,512,697,946 ordinary shares with a nominal value of Ps.1 (expressed in Argentine pesos) and with one vote per share, representing 99.43% of the capital and votes of Sudamericana Seguros Galicia S.A. (formerly Seguros Sura S.A.).

The acquiree company is an insurance company that offers insurance solutions and services for individuals and families, large companies and the agricultural and livestock segment, served by a broad network of insurance advisors who make it possible to achieve more than half of the insurer's turnover. The incorporation of the aforementioned company complements the marketing of insurance, which until now was only channeled through the Bank. Seguros Sura S.A. has 775,000 customers and 13 branch offices in the country and a network of approximately 5,000 insurance producers.

The acquired business generated, from the insurance activity, income for the Group amounting to Ps.69,809,430 and a loss of Ps.(1,070,102) for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2023. If such acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, the income would have amounted to Ps.256,553,244 and the loss would have amounted to Ps.(10,147,344).

The consideration paid for the business combination amounted to Ps.26,360,879.

The fair value of the net assets acquired as at September 30, 2023 amounted to Ps.37,890,471.

Due to the strategy of concentrating its operations in fewer countries and the need to sell the company in Argentina, the

seller accepted the consideration paid. Since the latter is lower than the amount of net assets acquired, the Group recorded a gain of Ps.11,529,592 in "Share of profit from Associates and Joint Ventures."

The Assets and Liabilities arising from the acquisition are detailed below:

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

The acquired business has 101 branches, whose geographic distribution is very similar to that of Grupo Galicia. In terms of revenue synergies, this transaction incorporates 593,330 individual and 10,141 corporate customers.

As a result, Grupo Galicia became the largest private financial group in Argentina, confirming its commitment to the sustainable development and growth of the country. This transaction allows the group to generate economies of scale and strengthen its value proposition based on our three strategic pillars -experience, growth and profitability-. In this way, we will continue to differentiate ourselves from our competitors, improve the daily lives of our customers and complement our product offering, generating capabilities for the development of our businesses and stakeholders.

Furthermore, the acquisition of life and pension insurance businesses represents a strategic move in the insurance sector, adding two high-potential product segments to the group's portfolio. This opportunity represents an excellent proposition to continue adding assets and businesses, strengthening the group's economic and financial position, solvency and liquidity, and the sustainability of the organization.

The acquired business generated revenue for the Group of Ps. 74,847,658 and a result (loss) of Ps.(184,768,527) for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2024.

If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2024, the revenue would have been Ps 1,724,539,992, and the result would have been a profit of Ps. 46,344,327.

The transaction amount at the closing currency exchange rate amounted to Ps.1,262,930,673.

*(\*) Non-controlling Interest is proportionate to Purchase Price Allocation.*

The acquisition of the business at a value lower than its market value was due to a combination of strategic and negotiation factors. The seller's intention to concentrate its operations in fewer countries led them to sell their companies in Argentina and accept the price paid. This purchase represents an investment that allows us to obtain valuable assets and key capabilities at a reduced cost, thus strengthening our competitive position. Since the price paid is lower than the fair value of the assets acquired, Grupo Galicia recorded a gain of Ps.786,610,176 in "Share of profit from Associates and Joint Ventures".

On December 6, 2024, Grupo Galicia cancelled its obligations with HLA for a total of Ps. 1,262,654,172. This settlement was made through a bank transfer of Ps. 417,790,982, the issuance of shares for Ps. 739,572,218 (see N<u>ote 31</u>), the issuance of a non-publicly offered negotiable obligation for Ps. 89,500,082 (US$81,158, at the exchange rate in effect on

the settlement date) (see N<u>ote 27</u>), and a liability of Ps. 15,790,890 (US$14,319.03, at the exchange rate in effect on the settlement date). The last two amounts correspond to the price adjustment agreed upon in the transaction.

**NOTE 45. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND RISK POLICIES**<br>

The tasks related to risk information and internal control of each of the companies controlled by Grupo Financiero Galicia are defined and carried out rigorously by each of them.

Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which as well gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

As concerns risks, Banco Galicia embraces a policy that takes into consideration several aspects of the business and operations, abiding by the main guidelines of internationally accepted standards.

The specific function of the integral management of risks faced by Banco Galicia has been assigned to the Risk Area Management, ensuring its independence from the rest of the business areas by depending directly on the Bank's General Management. Likewise, in order to have timely information and an agile and efficient structure that allows responding and adapting to the prevailing macro and microeconomic variables, the functions of granting and recovering credits, both for companies and individuals, are in charge of managements directly reporting to the Area, thus seeking greater efficiency in decision-making.

Additionally, the control and prevention of the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities, are in charge of the Prevention of Money Laundering Management, reporting to the Board of Directors, thus ensuring the Board of Directors is fully knowledgeable of the risks the Bank is exposed to, being in charge of designing and proposing the required policies and procedures for their identification, evaluation, follow-up, control, and mitigation.

The Risk Appetite framework has been specified as the risk level that would eventually be assumed in order to meet the business objectives. This specified Risk Appetite framework counts on different levels of risk acceptance, both in individual and consolidated terms. The Risk Appetite monitors, through a series of metrics and associated thresholds, the main risks assumed by the Bank, and divides them into the following dimensions: (i) Capital Risk (or Solvency); (ii) Financial Risk; (iii) Credit Risk; (iv) Operational Risk; (v) Cybersecurity. It should be noted that the last two dimensions also include monitoring the Reputational and Technological Risks.

Additionally, the Risks Area Management monitors the risk appetite set up, and conducts prospective analysis of the risk levels, aligning the management to the strategy and the business plan defined by the Board of Directors. It also promotes corporate policies aimed at mitigating verified (or potential) deviations from the accepted risk levels.

**Capital Management**

The Company's goals are to generate returns to its shareholders, benefits to other groups of interest and keep the best capital structure. The latter will be given by the needs for investment in subsidiaries and new ventures, keeping the expected profitability levels and complying with the liquidity and solvency goals set.

Banco Galicia's subsidiary determines the minimum capital requirement for each risk, in accordance with Argentine Central Bank regulations. The capital risk management is cross-sectional with respect to the other risks. Senior management is responsible for monitoring, overseeing, adjusting and ensuring compliance with its stated goals concerning capital management.

The Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (*Proceso de Evaluación de Suficiencia de Capital*—PESC) (reflected in the Capital Adequacy Report—IAC, as per its acronym in Spanish) enables to assess the relationship between own resources available and necessary resources to maintain an appropriate risk profile. This process also allows for the identification of both the economic capital needs and the sources to meet such needs.

To perform stress tests, four scenarios with different likelihood of occurrence are defined, which could affect the solvency and liquidity. The most likely to occur scenarios are used in management stress testing and are referred to when defining Risk Appetite thresholds. The least-likely to occur or least-severe scenarios are used in developing the Recovery Plan, which specifies the protocol defined for situations or events that may compromise the Bank's operational capacity.

As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Banco Galicia complied with the minimum capital requirement established by the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

**Financial Risks**

Financial risk is a phenomenon inherent to the financial brokerage activity. The exposure to the different financial risk factors is a natural circumstance that cannot be completely avoided without affecting the Group's long-term economic viability. However, the lack of management regarding risk exposures is one of the most significant short-term threats. Risk factors need to be identified and managed within a specific policy framework and policies are adopted that consider the risk profile and appetite to achieve long-term strategic objectives.

*<u>Market Risk</u>*

The "price risk" is the possibility of incurring losses as a consequence of the variation of the market price of financial assets whose value is subject to negotiation. Financial assets subject to "trading" or allocated to "own positions" will be government and private debt securities, shares, currencies, derivatives and debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

Brokerage/trading transactions that are allowed and regulated by the Policy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage of Government and Provincial Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage of Currencies on the Spot and Futures Markets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage of Interest Rate Derivatives. Interest Rate Futures and Interest Rate Swaps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage of Debt Instruments Issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage of Third-party Debt securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brokerage of Shares.

For the fiscal year 2024, a limit of 2.25% of TIER1 was set for all operations, with a closing amount of Ps.31,644,968.

At the close of the fiscal year, Banco Galicia's trading portfolio position exposed to price variations amounted to Ps. 3,617,643,402 (Ps. 1,078,574,438 of fixed income and Ps. 2,539,068,964 of currency). For each percentage of negative variation in prices, the impact on results was a decrease of Ps. 36,176,315.

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Additionally, for the fiscal year 2024, a limit of Ps. 10,088,785 was set for all the operations of Banco GGAL S.A. As of 12.31.2024, the bank's trading portfolio position exposed to price fluctuations was Ps. 54,532,883 in Fixed Rate. For each percentage of negative price variation, the impact on results was a decrease of Ps. 2,111.

The "price risk" (market) is daily managed according to the strategy approved, the purpose of which is to keep the Group present in the different currencies, variable- and fixed-income and derivatives markets, while obtaining the maximum return as possible on brokerage, without exposing the latter to excessive risk levels. Finally, the designed policy contributes to providing transparency and facilitates the perception of the risk levels to which it is exposed. In order to measure and monitor risks derived from the variation in the price of financial instruments that form the trading or brokerage securities portfolio, a model known as "Value at Risk" (also known as "VaR") is used. This model determines the possible loss that could be generated by different financial instruments at each time under the following critical parameters.

*<u>Currency Risk</u>*

The composition of Assets and Liabilities in domestic currency and foreign currency exposes the Bank's financial position to the so-called "Currency Risk", as a consequence of market fluctuations in the prices of the different currencies in which Financial Assets and Liabilities are nominated.

The Group's exposure to the foreign exchange risk as of year-end by type of currency is shown below:

*<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>*

The different sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in "market interest rates" exposes the Group to the "interest rate risk". It is the risk that the financial margin and the economic value of equity may vary as a consequence of fluctuations in market interest rates. The magnitude of such variation is associated with the sensitivity to interest rates of the structure of the Group's assets and liabilities.

This risk factor (the change in interest rates) has an impact on two key variables: the "Net Financial Income (Expense)" and the "Present Value of Shareholders' Equity".

These methodologies imply a "short-term" approach (RFN), for which a "base case scenario" is submitted to a 400 basis points "interest rates" shock for Argentine pesos, and 200 basis points for Dollars and CER/UVA, and the variation of the Net Financial Income is estimated and compared with the limits assigned to said changes in the variables subject to control. For "long-term approach" (VP), statistical simulations of interest rates are performed, and a "critical" scenario is obtained, arising from the exposure to the interest rate risk presented by the balance sheet structure. The economic capital is obtained from the difference resulting from the "critical" scenario and the balance sheet market value, within a 99.5% confidence interval.

*<u>Liquidity Risk</u>*

It contemplates the risk that the Group is unable to offset or liquidate a position at market value because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the assets that are part thereof do not have a sufficient secondary market; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market changes.

In measuring and daily following up the "stock liquidity" an internal model is used, which contemplates the characteristics of behavior of the Group's main funding sources. Based on the Group's experience in connection with the changes in deposits and other liabilities, this model determines the "liquidity requirements" applied to liabilities subject to the policy and give rise to the "Management Liquidity Requirement". In determining these liquid resources, the remaining term of liabilities is also contemplated, as well as the currency in which they are denominated. The resulting liquidity requirement is allocated to "eligible assets" set by the policy. The management liquidity requirement, along with the legal minimum cash requirements, are part of the total liquidity available.

Daily liquidity management is supplemented by the estimated available funds or needs for the day, considering the opening balance of Argentine Central Bank's account, deducting the daily minimum requirement, and including the main movements for the day. The latter results in the overestimated/underestimated balance that will be considered by operators in order to place funds or meet the financing needs.

The monthly liquidity follow-up and control from the "flow" standpoint, called "liquidity mismatch/liquidity gap", are performed by estimating the accumulated mismatches within the first year as a percentage of total liabilities. The gap methodology used (contractual gaps) is consistent with the best international practices in the field.

In addition, the concentration of deposits is followed up and measured. In order to mitigate this risk factor, the policy designed restricts the involvement of two groups of customers to the total deposits: the first 10 customers and second 50 customers.

The table below shows an analysis of maturities of assets and liabilities, determined based on the remaining period as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, based on undiscounted cash flows:

**Credit Risk**

Credit risk arises from the possibility of suffering losses due to a debtor's or counterparty's noncompliance with its contractual obligations. It is the one that requires the greatest need for capital, including that arising from the risk of individual and sectorial concentration, which represents supplementary approximations to the intrinsic credit risk.

Accordingly, the Group uses credit assessment and risk monitoring tools that allow the entity to manage risks in a streamlined and controlled manner and that foster the adequate diversification of portfolios, both on an individual basis and by economic sector, thus controlling its exposure to potential risks.

**Summary of credit risk**

The following disclosures present the gross carrying amount of financial instruments to which the impairment requirements in IFRS 9 are applied and the associated allowance for loan losses.

Those credits that do not have reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows are eliminated from the Group's assets and are recognized in "Off-balance Items".

The credit quality related to loans granted is detailed in Schedule B.

The breakdown by term of "Net Loans and Other Financing" is detailed in Schedule D.

**Impairment of financial assets**

The "Expected Credit Loss" ("ECL") model applies to financial assets which are measured at both amortized cost and fair value through OCI.

The standard establishes a "three stages" model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. Stage 1 includes financial assets with normal or no significant risk associated; Stage 2 includes financial assets for which a significant increase in credit risk ("SICR") has been identified but they are not yet deemed to be credit-impaired, and Stage 3 comprises financial assets which are defaulted and/or subject to serious risk of impairment.

To calculate the provisions for credit impairment risk, IFRS 9 differentiates between each of the three stages. The resulting concepts are explained as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expected Credit Losses within a 12-month period: possible events of default within the 12 months following the date of the presentation of financial statements. Assets included in Stage 1 have their ECL measured at 12-month ECL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lifetime Expected Credit Losses: ECL during the active period of the financial asset, which results of calculating the probability of default of an asset throughout its life, up until its maturity. Instruments in Stage 2 or 3 have their ECL measured based on lifetime ECL.

------

**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

A pervasive concept in measuring ECL in accordance with IFRS 9 is that it should consider forward looking information. The Group has included below an explanation on how it has incorporated this in its ECL models.

**Grouping of instruments for losses measured on a collective basis** 

The ECLs are estimated both individually and collectively. The objective of the Group's individual estimate is to estimate expected losses for certain impaired loans or for those loans that require specific treatment.

The population of individual cases can be divided as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For impaired loans that meet the following conditions: commercial portfolio, debt of more than one million dollars, and BCRA classification "C" or higher, an individual report is prepared in which the recovery expectation and its complement, the LGD, are analyzed to determine the expected loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For loans with specific analyses, when it is detected that there are cases in which the collective model does not reflect the expected loss expectation, the estimate is made individually. In addition to what was mentioned in the first point, a PD estimate is also made.

For expected credit loss provisions modelled on a collective basis, a grouping of exposures is performed based on shared risks characteristics, such that risk exposures within group are homogeneous. In performing this grouping, there must be sufficient information for the group to be statistically credible. Where sufficient information is not available internally, the Group has considered benchmarking internal/external supplementary data to use for modelling purposes.

The Group has identified four groupings: Retail, Retail-like, Wholesale and Naranja X, amongst these four segments the Group estimates parameters in a more granular way based on the shared risk characteristics.

**Stage classification** 

Each subsidiary of Grupo Galicia classifies financial instruments subject to impairment under IFRS 9 in stages, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stage 1: in the case of retail portfolios, it includes every operation up to 30 days past due. In the case of wholesale portfolios, it considers every client whose BCRA situation indicates a normal status (A1) (i.e. low risk of bankruptcy).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stage 2: considers two groups:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ For retail and retail like Portfolios between 31 and 90 days past due. For wholesale it considers credit ratings for which the risk of default has increased significantly (B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Probability of Default ("PD") or Score with impairment risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stage 3: For retail portfolios, it includes every operation amounting 90 or more days past due. For wholesale portfolios, it considers every client whose BCRA situation indicates serious risk of bankruptcy (C, D, E). Furthermore, this stage also includes refinanced transactions originated more than 90 days past due or with another transaction in force within the last 24 months.

**Significant Increase in credit risk** 

The Group considers a financial instrument to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk when any of the following conditions exist:

**Definition of Default** 

A financial asset is in default whenever a payment is more than 90 days past due, or if the Company considers the payment will not be fully reimbursed.

The credit analysis for wholesale loans is not the same as for retail loans, Grupo Galicia's definition of default for wholesale portfolios is based on a credit analysis of the individual borrower.

The default definition has been applied consistently to model the Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss given Default (LGD) throughout the Group's expected loss calculations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Probability of Default ("PD"): it represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation (as per the definition of default included above), either over the next 12 months or the remaining lifetime of the obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Exposure at the moment of Default ("EAD"): it is based on the amounts the Group expects to be owed at the time of default, over the next 12 months or over the remaining lifetime. For example, for a revolving commitment, the Group includes the current draw down balance plus any further amount that it is expected to be drawn up to the current contractual limit by the potential time of default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Loss given Default ("LGD"): this represents Grupo Galicia's expectation of effective loss from the total exposure at default. Its value changes according to the counterparty, seniority of the claim and availability of collateral or other credit support. LGD is expressed as a percentage loss per Peso of exposure at the time of default and is calculated on a 12-month or lifetime basis, where 12-month LGD is the percentage loss expected to be incurred if default occurs within the next 12 months and lifetime LGD

**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

is the percentage loss expected to be incurred if default occurs during the remaining life of the financial instrument.

The ECL is determined by projecting the PD, LGD, and EAD for each future month and for each individual exposure or group segment. These three components are multiplied and adjusted for the probability of survival (i.e., the exposure has not been prepaid or entered default in a prior month). This effectively calculates an ECL for each future month, which is then discounted to the filing date and aggregated. The discount rate used in calculating the ECL is the original effective interest rate or an approximation thereof.

An instrument is considered to no longer be in default when it no longer meets any of the default criteria above mentioned.

**Methodology for Expected Credit Loss estimation** 

Expected credit loss impairment allowances recognized in the financial statements reflect the effect of a range of possible economic outcomes, calculated on a probability-weighted basis, based on the economic scenarios described below. The recognition and measurement of expected credit losses ('ECL') involves the use of significant judgment and estimation. It is necessary to formulate multiple forward-looking economic forecasts and incorporate them into the ECL estimates. Grupo Galicia uses a standard framework to form economic scenarios to reflect assumptions about future economic conditions, supplemented with the use of management judgment, which may result in using alternative or additional economic scenarios and/or management adjustments.

IFRS 9 establishes the following standards regarding the estimation of credit loss:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An unbiased weighted probability index determined by the evaluation of different outcomes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Time value of money

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reasonable and sustainable information available at no additional cost or effort that provides evidence to support forecasts, as well as present conditions and past events.

According to IFRS 9, Grupo Galicia prepared three different scenarios with different probabilities: a base scenario with 70% probability of occurrence, a pessimistic scenario with 15% probability of occurrence and an optimistic scenario with 15% probability of occurrence.

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Scenario Probabilities** | **Base** | **Optimistic** | **Pessimistic** |
| Retail, Retail like and Wholesale | 70% | 15% | 15% |
| Naranja | 70% | 15% | 15% |

---

In order to take time value of money into account, Grupo assumes expected losses will take place according to the PD behavior.

**Maximum exposure to credit risk** 

Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when they are 30 days past due ("DPD") and are transferred from stage 1 to stage 2. The following disclosure presents the ageing of stage 2 financial assets. It distinguishes those assets that are classified as stage 2 when they are less than 30 days past due (1-29 DPD) from those that are more than 30 DPD (30 and >DPD). Past due financial instruments are those loans where customers have failed to make payments in accordance with the contractual terms of their facilities.

**Evolution of the exposure to credit risk and the related allowances** 

The credit risk allowance recognized in the fiscal year is affected by a variety of factors, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transfers between Stage 1 and Stages 2 or 3 because the financial instruments experience significant credit risk increases (or decreases), or become impaired in the period, with the corresponding "increase" (or "decrease") between the 12-month and Lifetime ECL;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional allocations for new financial instruments recognized during the fiscal year, as well as reversals of allowances for loan losses for financial instruments derecognized in the fiscal year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impact on ECL measurements of changes in PD, EAD and LGD in the fiscal year, arising from the periodic update of inputs to the models;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impact on ECL measurement due to changes in models and assumptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impacts due to passing of time resulting from an update to the present value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• local currency translations for assets denominated in foreign currency and other changes;

**<u>Use of information</u>** 

Grupo Financiero Galicia, according to IFRS 9 standards, uses all information available, past, present and future to identify and estimate expected credit loss.

**<u>Operational Risk</u>** 

The operational risk management is understood as the identification, assessment, monitoring, control and mitigation of this risk. It is an ongoing process carried out throughout the Group, which fosters a risk management culture at all organization levels through an effective policy and a program led by Senior Management.

Identification

The starting point of the operational risk management is the identification of risks and their association with the controls established to mitigate them, considering internal and external factors that may affect the process development. The results of this exercise are entered into a log of risks, which acts as a central repository of the nature and status of each risk and controls thereof.

Assessment

Once risks have been identified, the size in terms of impact, frequency and likelihood of risk occurrence is determined, considering the existing controls. The combination of impact with likelihood of occurrence determines the risk exposure level. Finally, the estimated risk levels are compared to pre-established criteria, considering the balance of potential benefits and adverse results.

Monitoring

The monitoring process allows detecting and correcting the possible deficiencies in operational risk management policies, processes and procedures and their update.

Risk Control and Mitigation

The control process ensures compliance with internal policies and analyzes risks and responses to avoid, accept, mitigate or share them, by aligning them with the risk tolerance defined.

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

**IT Risk** 

The Group manages the IT risk inherent to its products, activities and business processes. It also manages the risk associated with the material information systems, technology and information security processes. It also covers the risks derived from subcontracted activities and from services rendered by providers.

**Reputational Risk** 

The reputational risk may result from the materialization of other risks: Legal, Compliance, Operational, Technological, Strategic, Market, Liquidity, Credit, etc.

The groups of interest are at the core of management, being considered upon establishing any type of mitigation measure.

Banco Galicia's reputational risk management function was allocated to the Compliance Management Division, seeking to obtain a more comprehensive vision and be able to make immediate decisions that protect the entity's image and reputation by using tools that enable to monitor and follow up to the perception of different groups of interest.

Banco Galicia defined an internal policy to reduce the occurrence of reputational events with negative impact, by defining a governance model with roles and responsibilities, and identifying critical scenarios that require management and visibility.

Contacts have been established with key business areas, devising a work scheme based on synergy and ongoing communication in order to spread the risk culture across the organization.

The Reputational Crisis Committee is in charge of becoming aware of the events that may affect the Bank's reputation. In the face of an event of such characteristics, all the necessary information is gathered in the shortest time possible in order to be able to make assertive decisions, formally declare the crisis situation, if appropriate, and define the action plan to alleviate the crisis. In addition, such committee determines the communication strategy to be followed, considering the groups of interest involved. Finally, the strategy and related actions are followed to tackle the crisis.

**Strategic Risk** 

Strategic risk is that which arises from an inappropriate business strategy or an adverse change in forecasts, parameters, goals and other functions that support such strategy.

It represents the possibility of fluctuations in placements that prevent Banco Galicia or its subsidiaries from obtaining the expected results of operations. These potential affected results of operations would give rise to lower income or higher costs regardless of what was budgeted.

**Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk** 

As regards the control and prevention of asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities, Banco Galicia complies with the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Financial Information Unit and Law No. 25246, as amended, which creates the Financial Information Unit (UIF), within the purview of Argentina's Ministry of Treasury and Public Finance with functional autarchy. The Financial Information Unit is in charge of analyzing, addressing and reporting the information received, in order to prevent and avoid both asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities.

The Bank has promoted the implementation of measures designed to fight against the use of the international financial system by criminal organizations. For such purposes, Banco Galicia has control policies, procedures and structures that are applied using a "risk-based approach", which allow for the monitoring of transactions, pursuant to the "customer profile" (defined individually based on the information and documentation related to the economic and financial condition of the customer), in order to detect such transactions that should be considered unusual, and to report them to the UIF in applicable cases. The Anti-Money Laundering Management Division ("PLA", as per its initials in Spanish) is in charge of managing this activity, through the implementation of control and prevention procedures as well as the communication thereof to the rest of the organization by drafting the related handbooks and training all employees. In addition, the management of this risk is regularly reviewed by Internal Audit.

**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

The Bank has appointed a director as Compliance Officer, pursuant to Resolution 121/11, as amended, handed down by the UIF, who shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with and implementation of the proceedings and obligations on the issue.

The Bank contributes to the prevention and mitigation of risks from these transaction-related criminal behaviors, by being involved in the international regulatory standards adoption process.

**Cybersecurity Risk** 

The use of technologies in place facilitates us a significant number of tools that expedite and improve the Bank's processes, having a positive impact on our products and services. However, along with the above-mentioned benefits, risks and/or threats related to these new opportunities provided by digital technologies appear.

The cybersecurity-related risk is a matter inherent to the introduction of these new technologies. On one hand, such risk management stands out among Banco Galicia's main goals, and, on the other, all the personnel's as well as customers' awareness of the considerations as regards the use of the above-mentioned technologies. In this respect, it is vital for the organization to understand thoroughly its internal processes, the tools used and the available techniques to mitigate cybersecurity-related risks.

**NOTE 46. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS**<br>

**a) Tax Issues**

At the date of these consolidated financial statements, provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting reviews and assessments mainly in respect of matters resulting from applying turnover tax.

These proceedings and their possible effects are constantly being monitored. Even though it is considered that it has complied with its tax liabilities in full pursuant to current regulations, the provisions deemed adequate pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding have been set up.

Banco Galicia has filed to the Customs Collection and Control Agency (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero, ARCA (formerly AFIP)) several claims for refund of the Income Tax paid in excess for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, for the amounts of Ps.433,815, Ps.459,319, Ps.944,338, Ps.866,842, Ps.3,646,382, Ps.4,403,712, Ps.629,837 and Ps.4,039,802, respectively. These claims are based on Argentine jurisprudence that establishes the unconstitutionality of the rules disabling the application of the tax inflation adjustment, resulting in confiscatory situations. Considering the delay in the resolution by the Federal Administration of Public Revenue, the corresponding judicial claims were filed.

Identical claims were filed by other Group subsidiaries before the ARCA: Tarjetas Cuyanas S.A., (Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. predecessor company), for 2014 and 2016 periods, for an amount of Ps.145,478, nominal value; Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U., for 2014 and 2016 periods, for a total amount of Ps.580,164, nominal value; and for 2015, 2017, and 2018 periods, for an amount of Ps.149,763, Ps.326,498, and Ps.973,843, nominal value, respectively. Considering the delay in the resolution by the Customs Collection and Control Agency, the corresponding judicial claims were filed. On May 26, 2020, Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. filed before the AFIP a claim for the repetition of the Income Tax corresponding to 2019 period for

------

**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

Ps.1,364,949 in nominal value. Regarding the lawsuit filed by Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. for fiscal year 2018, a favorable first instance ruling was obtained on August 14, 2024.

Additionally, GGAL Holdings S.A., another subsidiary of the Group, has filed with ARCA several income tax reimbursement claims for the tax years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 in the amounts of Ps.642,172, Ps.399,912, Ps.969,912, Ps.571,573 and Ps.1,287,536, respectively.

*(\*) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the acquisition of the companies of GGAL Holdings S.A. (formerly HSBC Argentina Holdings S.A.) (see Note 15.3), a merger by absorption process will be carried out as described in Note 54, with the purpose of optimizing operations and resources, providing a unified service proposal to customers. The purpose of this process is to achieve operating efficiency, maximization of resources and market consolidation, with the main objective of creating a more agile and effective structure that responds to the challenges of the Argentine market. With this objective in mind, a restructuring plan has been communicated to the employees, which will have different stages of execution. Based on this plan, the Group made a provision for the Restructuring Plan for Ps.312,120,192 as of December 31, 2024, which was charged to income within the Personnel Benefits line.*

**NOTE 48. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS**

In the normal course of business and in order to meet customers' financing needs, off-balance sheet transactions are performed. These instruments expose the Group to the credit risk, in addition to loans recognized in assets. These financial instruments include credit lending commitments, letters of credit reserve, guarantees granted and acceptances.

The same credit policies for agreed credits, guarantees and loan granting are used. Outstanding commitments and guarantees do not represent an unusually high credit risk.

<u>Agreed Credits</u> 

They are commitments to grant loans to a customer in a future date, subject to compliance with certain contractual agreements that usually have fixed maturity dates or other termination clauses and may require a fee payment.

Commitments are expected to expire without resorting to them. The total amounts of agreed commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's solvency is assessed case by case.

<u>Guarantees Granted</u> 

The issuing bank commits to reimbursing the loss to the beneficiary if the secured debtor does not comply with its obligation upon maturity.

<u>Export and Import Documentary Credits</u> 

They are conditional commitments issued by the Group to secure a customer's compliance towards a third party.

<u>Responsibilities for Foreign Trade Transactions</u> 

They are conditional commitments for foreign trade transactions.

Our exposure to credit loss upon the other party's default in the financial instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the same investments.

The credit exposure for these transactions is detailed below.

The credit risk of these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in lending credit facilities to customers.

| Other Preferred Guarantees Received | 28,670,271 | 40,225,978 |
| Other Guarantees Received |  | 27,801,148 |

---

Additionally, checks to be debited and credited, as well as other elements in the collection process, such as, notes, invoices, and miscellaneous items, are recorded in memorandum accounts until the related instrument is approved or accepted.

The risk of loss in these offsetting transactions is not significant.

These trusts are not included in the consolidation since the Group does not exert control on them.

**NOTE 49. TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL ASSETS**

All portfolio sales carried out by the Group are without recourse; therefore, they all qualify for the full derecognition of financial assets.

When this derecognition takes place, the difference between the book value and the value in the offsetting entry is charged to Income.

On the other hand, the Group considers that it has joint control when there is an agreement between the parties on the control of a common economic activity.

Finally, those cases in which the Group has significant influence are due to its ability to participate in the company's financial policy decisions and operations. Shareholders with a stake equal to or greater than 20% of the total voting power of the Group or its subsidiaries are considered to have significant influence. To determine these situations, not only legal aspects are considered, but also the nature and substance of the relationship.

Additionally, the key personnel of the Group's Management (members of the Board of Directors and Managers) and the entities over which the key personnel can exert significant influence or control are considered related parties.

**NOTE 52. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK**

**52.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

The National Executive Branch through Decree No. 1127/98 established the maximum amount for this insurance system to demand deposits and time deposits denominated either in Pesos and/or in foreign currency. Such limit was set as from January 1, 2023 at Ps.6,000. This amount was increased to Ps.25,000 as from April 1, 2024.

This system does not cover deposits made by other financial institutions, deposits made by parties related to the Bank, either directly or indirectly, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees and those deposits set up at an interest rate exceeding the one established regularly by the Argentine Central Bank.

Deposits acquired through endorsement, placements made as a result of incentives other than interest rates and locked-up balances from deposits and other excluded transactions are also excluded. This system has been implemented through the creation of the Deposit Insurance Fund ("FGD"), which is managed by a company called Seguros de Depósitos S.A. ("SEDESA"). SEDESA's shareholders are the Argentine Central Bank and the financial institutions in the proportion determined for each one by the Argentine Central Bank based on the contributions made to the fund.

The monthly contribution institutions should make to the FGD is 0.015% on the monthly average of total deposits.

**52.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ISSUANCE OF DEBT SECURITIES** 

The issuance of debt securities is detailed in Notes 27 and 28.

**52.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RESTRICTIONS FOR DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION** 

Pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. should transfer 5% of the net income for the year to the Legal Reserve until 20% of the capital stock is reached, plus the balance of the Capital Adjustment account.

With respect to Banco Galicia, Banco GGAL S.A. and Naranja Digital Compañía Financiera S.A.U., the Argentine Central Bank regulations require that 20% of the profits shown in the Income Statement at fiscal year-end, plus (or less), the adjustments made in previous fiscal years and, less, if any, the loss accumulated at previous fiscal year-end, be allocated to the legal reserve.

This proportion applies regardless of the ratio of the Legal Reserve fund to Capital Stock. Should the Legal Reserve be used to absorb losses, earnings shall be distributed only if the value of the Legal Reserve reaches 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment.

The Argentine Central Bank sets rules for the conditions under which financial institutions can make distributions of profits. According to these rules, profits can be distributed as long as results of operations are positive after deducting not only the Reserves, which may be legally and statutory required, but also the following items from Retained Income: The

------

**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of public sector assets and/or debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank not valued at fair price, the amounts capitalized for lawsuits related to deposits and any unrecorded adjustments required by the external auditors or the Argentine Central Bank.

Moreover, in order that a financial institution be able to distribute profits, such institution must comply with the capital adequacy rule, i.e. with the calculation of minimum capital requirements and the regulatory capital.

For these purposes, this shall be done by deducting from its assets and Retained Income all the items mentioned in the paragraph above. Moreover, in such calculation, a financial institution shall not be able to compute the temporary reductions that affect minimum capital requirements, computable regulatory capital or its capital adequacy.

The Argentine Central Bank established that a capital conservation margin must be maintained in addition to the minimum capital requirement, equivalent to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets. Said margin must exclusively be integrated with level I, net of items deductibles. Income distribution will be limited when the level and composition of the institution's Regulatory Capital puts said distribution within the range of the capital conservation margin.

The Argentine Central Bank provided that income distribution must be performed with its prior authorization.

The Argentine Central Bank established that, from 01.01.23 until 12.31.2, the financial institutions may distribute income for up to 40% of the accumulated income, with prior authorization by said Institution. In turn, said distribution must be in 6 equal, monthly and consecutive installments.

Communication "A" 7984 established that as from 01.01.24 and until 12.31.24, financial institutions authorized by the Argentine Central Bank may distribute profits in 6 equal, monthly and consecutive installments for up to 60% of the amount that would have corresponded if the rules on "Distribution of profits" had been applied.

Communication "A" 8214 established that until 12.31.25, financial institutions authorized by the Argentine Central Bank may distribute profits in 10 equal, monthly and consecutive installments (as from 06.30.25 and not before the penultimate business day of the following months) for up to 60% of the amount that would have corresponded if the rules on "Distribution of profits" had been applied.

Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U.'s Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on March 16, 2006, decided to set the maximum limit for the distribution of dividends at 25% of the realized and liquid profits of each fiscal year. This restriction shall remain in force as long as the company's Shareholders' Equity is below Ps.300,000 (Ps.112,666,306 in closing currency).

The Group may pay dividends to the extent that it has distributable retained earnings and distributable reserves calculated in accordance with the rules of the Argentine Central Bank. Therefore, retained earnings included in the consolidated financial statements may not be wholly distributable.

The Group has presented its local financial statements under these rules on February, 28 2025.

Shareholders' equity under the rules of the Argentine Central Bank comprise the following captions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Implement the necessary policies, procedures, processes and controls to manage operations and risks cautiously, meet the strategic goals set by the Board of Directors and ensure that the latter receives material, full and timely information so that it may assess management and analyze whether the responsibilities assigned are effectively fulfilled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Monitor the managers from different divisions, in line with the policies and procedures set by the Board of Directors and establish an effective internal control system.

*<u>Basic Holding Structure</u>*

The Bank's majority shareholder is Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A., which has full control of its shares and votes. In turn, the Bank holds equity investments in supplementary companies as shareholders of the parent, as well as non-controlling interests in companies whose controlling company is its own shareholders of the parent. From a business point of view, this structure allows the Bank to take advantage of significant synergies that guarantee the loyalty of its customers and additional businesses. All business relationships with these companies, whether permanent or occasional in nature, are fostered under the normal and usual market conditions and this is true when the Bank holds either a majority or minority interest.

*<u>Business Conduct Policy and/or Code of Ethics</u>*

The Bank has a formally approved Code of Ethics that guides its practices and activities. It considers aspects related to objectivity, transparency and honesty in business, and contains guidelines on how the employee should act in the event of non-compliance with it or with our internal policies, giving intervention to the Conduct Committee.

*<u>Information Related to Personnel Economic Incentive Practices</u>*

The Human Resources and Governance Committee, composed of two (2) Directors, the General Manager and the Organizational Development and Human Resources Division Manager, is in charge of establishing the compensation policy for Banco Galicia's personnel.

It is the policy of Banco Galicia to manage the full compensation of its personnel based on the principles of fairness, meritocracy, and justice, within the framework of the legal regulations in force.

The aim of this policy is to provide an objective and fair basis, through the design and implementation of tools for the management of the fixed and variable compensation paid to each employee, based on the scope and complexity of each

position's responsibilities, individual performance with regard to compliance thereof, contribution to the Bank's results and conformity to market values, with the purpose of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attracting and creating loyalty with regard to quality personnel suitable for the achievement of the business strategy and goals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Being an individual motivation means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Easing the decentralized management of compensation administration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allowing the effective budget control of personnel costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Guaranteeing the internal fairness in order to monitor and ensure both external and internal fairness with regard to the payment of fixed and variable compensation. The Compensation and People Analytics area uses and puts at the disposal of the Senior Management and the Human Resources Committee market surveys published by consulting firms specialized in compensation issues, pursuant to the market positioning policies defined by the management division for the different corporate levels.

With the purpose of gearing individuals towards the achievement of attainable results that contribute to the global performance of the Bank/Area, and to the increase in motivation for the common attainment of goals, differentiating individual contribution, Banco Galicia has different variable compensation systems:

1)Business Incentives and/or Incentives through Commissions system for business areas.

2)Annual Bonus System for management levels, officers and the rest of the employees who are not included in the business incentives system. The annual bonus is determined based on individual performance and the Bank's results and is paid in the first quarter of the next fiscal year. To determine the variable compensation for the Senior Management and Middle Management, the Bank uses the Management Performance Assessment System. This system has been designed including both qualitative and quantitative KPI (Key Performance Indicators). Criteria are all quantitative, and built considering at least three characteristics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a)Results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b)Business volume or size.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c)Projections: Indicators that protect the business for the future (For example: Quality, internal and external customer satisfaction, risk coverage, work environment, etc.).

The significance or impact of each of them is monitored and adjusted yearly pursuant to the strategy approved by the Board of Directors.

The interaction among these three aspects seeks to make incentives related to results and growth consistent with the risk thresholds determined by the Board of Directors. In turn, there is no deferred payment of variable compensation subject to the occurrence of future events or in the long term, taking into consideration that the business environment in the Argentine financial system is characterized by being mainly transactional, with lending and borrowing transactions with a very short seasoning term.

Annual budget and management control – the latter carried out monthly in a general manner and quarterly in a more detailed manner—include different risk ratios, including the ratio between compensation and risks undertaken. Variable compensation is only paid in cash. There are no share-based payments. Every change to this policy is submitted to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.'s Human Resources Committee for its consideration.

**Banco GGAL S.A.**

Information on the design and structure of the compensation processes:

Proposed salary actions are approved by the Head of each Business/Support Unit and the Human Resources Manager and submitted to the Board of Directors for validation.

Any such action must be included in the annual budget established the previous year. Human Resources Management is responsible for the application of the Bank's compensation policy, while Internal Audit Management monitors compliance.

Total compensation is managed in line with market trends and employee performance. It is important to note that almost all of the Bank's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and are therefore subject to salary negotiations.

The Company's compensation practices include a variable component. The main variable schemes are: a) RBWM IF, paid quarterly, bonus scheme corresponding to the commercial and administrative platform working in the retail banking branch network, and b) General Bonus, paid annually, for the rest of the Bank's effective population.

For certain functions considered to be significant risk takers, a percentage of the variable compensation is paid in the form of restricted shares with deferred vesting.

The average ratio between fixed and variable compensation varies according to the hierarchical level, the plan and the budget defined for each period.

Description of the measures by which current and future risks are taken into account in the compensation process:

At the Bank, risk appetite describes the amount and type of risk the Bank is prepared to take in the execution of its strategy, with the objective of ensuring that the underlying business activity is prudently managed and controlled. Risks should be commensurate with returns: returns should be commensurate with the risks taken and in line with strategic plans and risk management policies.

Risk appetite is set in the context of how the bank defines and measures different types of risk. The RAS feeds into the Control Panel, which is taken into account in the analysis of variable compensation for the relevant period.

In addition, to ensure that compensation is aligned with business strategy, performance measurement takes into account not only annual but also long-term objectives and full compliance with the Bank's values.

Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance over the performance period to pay levels:

An employee's variable compensation is determined based on the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Company performance: the measurement of profit before tax (which includes provisions) is one of the main indicators,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Performance of the Business/Support Unit to which the employee belongs,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Individual performance, measured through a dashboard of financial and non-financial objectives, including compliance with the Bank's internal rules and applicable laws,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.Comparison with market compensation levels, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.The allocated budget.

The measurement of the achievement of objectives is used to evaluate both individual and business unit/support unit performance and, consequently, affects the determination of variable compensation. In addition, any violation or non-compliance with rules or behavior that is not in line with the Bank's values is also taken into account in the evaluation and determination of variable compensation.

Bonuses are determined on the basis of actual results achieved and previously verified in accounting terms, including the write-off of provisions, and there is no guaranteed minimum.

Description of the different forms of variable remuneration used by the Bank and the justification for their use:

The Bank uses cash and deferred shares as forms of variable compensation. The combination of cash and shares only applies to employees defined as MRTS (Material Risk Takers).

**NOTE 53. ECONOMIC CONTEXT WHERE THE GROUP OPERATES**

The Group operates in a complex economic context, both in the national and international spheres.

Regarding the international sphere, the year 2025 started off more volatile for international markets due to trade conflicts arising from the tariffs announced by Trump. While the measures imposed on Canada and Mexico were postponed to April, the announcements against Chinese and European imports and commodities in general generated uncertainty in the markets. Meanwhile, tariffs of 25% on steel and aluminum imports have already been confirmed. These measures could affect the Federal Reserve's target disinflationary path, leading investors to expect the first rate cut to come at the June meeting. Given this scenario, the volatility of stock indices has stood out since the beginning of the year, with the United States lagging behind the stock markets of China and Europe so far in 2025.

At the local level, during 2024, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accumulated a decline of 1.7% compared to the same period in 2023. The retraction was explained by investment (-17.8%), private consumption (-4.2%) and public consumption (-3.2%). Exports, on the other hand, grew by 23.2%. In seasonally adjusted terms, during fourth quarter GDP grew 1.4% compared to the third quarter of 2024.

On a year-over-year basis, inflation for 2024 closed at 117.8%, showing a sustained slowdown throughout last year. In February 2025, the monthly inflation rate was 2.4%, while the year-over-year rate reduced to 66.9%.

As of December 29, 2023, the exchange rate stood at Ps./US$808.5, rising to Ps./US$1,032.5 by December 30, 2024, according to BCRA Communication "A" 3500. Throughout 2024 and January 2025, the official exchange rate followed a 2% monthly crawl. However, effective February 1, 2025, the Central Bank adjusted the pace of depreciation to 1% per month. As of March 25, 2025, the exchange rate reached Ps./US$1,071.6.

In 2024, the current account of the Foreign Exchange Balance posted a surplus of US$1.695 billion, while the capital and financial account registered inflows totaling US$4,370 billion during the same period.

International reserves rose by US$6,539 billion in 2024, primarily driven by Central Bank purchases of foreign currency from the private sector, which totaled US$18,710 billion. However, by March 25, 2025, reserves declined to US$26,441 billion, representing a US$3,171 billion decrease compared to year-end 2024.

**GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.** <br>**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** <br>

As of December 30, 2024, private sector dollar deposits totaled US$31,442 billion, an increase of US$15,639 billion from year-end 2023. This surge is partially attributed to Stage 1 of the asset regularization process carried out between mid-August and early November. By March 20, 2025, private sector foreign currency deposits had declined slightly to US$29,620 billion.

Dollar-denominated credit to the private sector rose significantly, reaching US$10,829 billion by the end of 2024, an increase of US$7,419 billion year-over-year. As of the latest available data, the balance had increased further to US$14,296 billion, up US$3,467 billion from the previous year-end.

The Central Bank implemented a series of benchmark rate reductions throughout 2024 and continued easing into 2025. The benchmark rate fell from approximately 100% at the start of 2024 to 32% by December 6. On January 31, 2025, an additional rate cut brought the yield on Liquidity Treasury Bills to 29%.

In early October 2024, the Central Bank introduced a new interest rate for wholesale fixed-term deposits exceeding Ps. 1 billion, with 30–35 day maturities. This rate, the Argentine Wholesale Rate (TAMAR), stood at 31.5% as of March 21, 2025.

In fiscal terms, the Non-Financial Public Sector recorded a primary surplus of Ps. 10.41 trillion in 2024, equivalent to 1.8% of GDP. The financial surplus reached Ps. 1.76 trillion (0.3% of GDP), driven by a 27.5% real reduction in expenditures, which more than offset a 4.9% real decline in revenues. In February 2025, the primary surplus amounted to Ps. 1.18 trillion (0.14% of GDP), while the financial surplus stood at Ps. 310.7 billion (0.04% of GDP).

At the end of January, the government announced a temporary reduction in export duties on key agricultural commodities, including soybeans, soybean by-products, wheat, barley, sorghum, corn, and sunflower—effective from January 27 to June 30, 2025. Additionally, export duties were permanently eliminated for regional economies.

The context of volatility and uncertainty continues as of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The Group's Management permanently monitors the evolution of the variables that affect their business to define their course of action and identify the potential impacts on their equity and financial position. These consolidated financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.

*<u>Agreements</u>*

On February 25, 2025, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and Banco Santander S.A. celebrated an agreement for the implementation of a joint venture in order to enhance the growth and expansion of Nera's business.

The joint venture companies are Agri Tech Investments Argentina S.A.U. ('Nera Argentina'), Nera Paraguay S.A. and Nera Uruguay S.A. As a result of this agreement, it was decided to set up a holding company in Spain, which will control the joint venture companies, and in which Grupo Galicia and Banco Santander S.A. will share equal political and economic control.

*<u>Amendments to the Current Exchange Regulations</u>*

Communication "A" 8226 of the Argentine Central Bank establishes important modifications to the current foreign exchange regulations. In particular, the foreign exchange restrictions for individuals have been eliminated, the transfer of dividends abroad has been allowed when they correspond to distributable profits obtained from profits realized in regular and audited financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after 01.01.2025, and payments for imports have been made more flexible, favoring trade and investment. Likewise, the commercial exchange rate was unified and progress was made in simplifying access to the foreign exchange market.

These measures are complemented by strong external support, including a new EFF agreement with the IMF for US$20,000 million, of which US$15,000 million would be disbursed throughout 2025, and additional lines of credit with multilateral organizations and international banks for US$6,100 million.
