Date of authorization of Financial Statements
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been approved and authorized for publication through Board of Directors' Minutes No. 727 dated November 26, 2024.
Bases for Preparation
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the International Accounting Standard No. 34 “Interim Financial Information” (IAS 34).
In Argentina, the Group is subject to the provisions of Article 2, Section I, Chapter I of Title IV: Periodic Information Regime of the National Securities Commission (CNV) regulations and it is required to present its financial statements in accordance with the valuation and disclosure criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.
The Management of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. has concluded that the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements reasonably present the financial position, financial yield, and cash flows, in accordance with the IFRS.
It should be noted that the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared by applying accounting standards and measurement criteria consistent with those applied by the Company for the preparation of the annual Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the modifications described in Note 1(e).
The accounting standards have been consistently applied in all entities of the Group.
(a) 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%.
F-10
GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group has applied IAS 29, Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary Economy, in preparing these consolidated condensed interim financial statements for all periods presented.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements are based on a historical cost.
(b) Foreign Currency Translation
–Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
The figures included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are stated in their functional currency, that is, in the currency of the main economic environment in which the Group operates. The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are presented in Argentine pesos, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.
–Transactions and Balances
The transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate in force on the transactions or the valuation dates when the items are measured at closing exchange rate. 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 in the Statement of Income in the item “Exchange Rate Differences Foreign Currency,” except when they are deferred in equity by transactions which qualify as cash flows hedges, if appropriate.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the US dollar defined by the Argentine Central Bank, in force at the close of operations on the last business day of each month.
As of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, balances in US dollars were translated at the reference exchange rate (Ps. 970.9167, Ps. 808.4833, and Ps. 350.0083, respectively established by the Argentine Central Bank. Foreign currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into this currency using the types of exchange rate reported by the Argentine Central Bank.
(c) Going concern
As of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, there is no uncertainty regarding events or conditions that may give rise to doubts about the possibility of the Group continuing to operate normally as a going concern.
(d) Comparative information
Balances as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 exposed in these financial statements, for comparison purposes, arise from the Financial Statements as of those dates stated in closing currency.
Certain reclassifications have been made on the figures corresponding to the financial statements presented in comparative format in order to maintain consistency in the exposure with the figures for the current period.
(e) New Accounting Standards
The accounting standards applied in the preparation and presentation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the financial statements corresponding to the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, except for the modifications detailed below:
Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
Item
The amendments clarify the manner in which the conditions to be met by the entity in the twelve months following the reporting period affect the classification into current and non-current liabilities. They would also improve the information provided by the entity related to liabilities under these conditions. After considering the new information, the Board decided to propose limited scope amendments as per IAS 1. The proposed amendments would specify that the conditions to be met by the entity in the twelve months following the reporting period do not affect the classification of current and non-current liabilities. Instead, entities would separately present, and disclose information about, non-current liabilities under these conditions. The proposed amendments would also defer the effective date of the 2020 amendments so that entities would not be required to change their assessment of liabilities classification before the proposed amendments come into force. The Board concluded that the proposed amendments would improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to conditions to be met, in addition to addressing concerns raised in response to the Committee's provisional agenda decision.

It seeks to balance the information needs of the users of the financial statements of these entities while saving costs for those responsible for preparing them. A subsidiary will be eligible if: it is under no public accountability; and its parent company presents consolidated financial statements for public use in compliance with IFRS standards.
Publication date

Impact
The impact on the Group's financial statements is being evaluated.
There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not effective and that are expected to have a significant impact on the Group.
NOTE 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 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.
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. 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. 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. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
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. The Group has concluded that there were no impairment indicators for any of the years reported in its consolidated financial statements.
d. 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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
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.
NOTE 3. FAIR VALUES
The Group classifies the fair values of the financial instruments in 3 levels, according to the quality of the information 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 (not adjusted) 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, derivatives available over-the-counter, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information. If all the relevant variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. If the variables to determine the price are not observable, the instrument will be valued in Level 3.
Fair Value Level 3: If one or more relevant variables are not based on observable market information, the instrument is included in Level 3.
Valuation Techniques
The valuation techniques to determine the Fair Value includes:
•Market prices or quotes for similar instruments.
•Determination of estimated current value of the instruments.
The valuation technique to determine the Level 2 fair value is based on information other than the quote 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 Level 3 fair value of financial instruments is based on the price drawn by the curve, which is a method that compares the spread between the sovereign bond curve and the average cut-off rates of primary issuances, representing the different segments, according to the different risk ratings. If there are no representative primary issuances throughout the month, the following variants will be used:
•secondary market prices of instruments under the same conditions, which had quoted in the evaluation month;
•bidding and/or secondary market prices of the previous month, which will be taken based on their representativeness;
•spread calculated in the previous month, and it will be applied to the sovereign curve, in accordance with their reasonableness;
•a specific margin is applied, defined according to historical yields of instruments under the same conditions, based on a substantiated justification.

When any transaction occurs, the transfer prices between the operating segments are agreed independently and equitably in a manner similar to transactions made with third parties. Afterwards, the revenues, the expenses and the income arising from the transfers between the operating segments are eliminated from the consolidation.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 32. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND RISK POLICIES
The main risks to which the Group is exposed are classified into nine types: capital risk, financial risks (market risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk), credit risk, operational risk, technological risk, cybersecurity risk, reputational risk, strategic risk, and money laundering risk.
There have been no significant changes in the aforementioned risk management policies, with respect to those set forth in the financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
NOTE 33. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
a) Tax Aspects
At the date of preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, with varying degrees of progress, there are ongoing review and resolution processes filed by provincial and City of Buenos Aires tax authorities, mainly related to issues arising from the application of the turnover tax.
These processes and their eventual effects are subject to permanent monitoring and, although it is considered to have complied with tax obligations in accordance with current regulations, the allowances that are considered adequate have been made according to the evolution of each of the processes.
As of September 30, 2024 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 (nominal values), respectively, were submitted by Banco Galicia to the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, AFIP). These are based on jurisprudence precedents that establish the unconstitutionality of the rules that disable the application of the tax inflation adjustment, resulting in situations of confiscatory nature. In light of 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 Federal Administration of Public Revenue: 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. In light of the delay in the resolution by the Federal Administration of Public Revenue, 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 Ps. 1,364,949 in nominal value.
At the closing of these financial statements, the Group does not record contingent assets derived from the aforementioned presentations.
b Consumer Advocacy Associations
Consumer associations, invoking their representation, have filed claims to Banco Galicia in relation to the collection of certain commissions, interest rates, and financial charges.
The Group considers that the resolution of these disputes will not have a significant impact on its equity.
c Penalties applied to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. and summary proceedings filed by the Argentine Central Bank.
The sanctions applied and the proceedings initiated by the Argentine Central Bank are described in detail in Note 36.6.

NOTE 34. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
In the normal course of business, in order to meet the financing needs of customers, some transactions are processed which are recorded off-balance sheet. These instruments expose the Group to credit risk, in addition to the financing recognized in the asset. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit reserve, guarantees granted and acceptances.
The same credit policies are used for agreed credits, guarantees and loan granting. Pending commitments and guarantees do not represent an unusual credit risk.
Agreed Credits
They are commitments to grant loans to a customer at a future date, subject to compliance with certain contractual agreements that, in general, have fixed maturity dates or other termination clauses, and may require payment of a commission.
Commitments are expected to expire without recourse to them. The total amounts of the agreed credits do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The solvency of each customer is assessed on a case- by-case basis.
Guarantees Granted
The issuer bank commits itself to refund the loss to the beneficiary if the guaranteed debtor breaches their obligation at maturity date.
Documentary Export/Import Credits
They are conditional commitments issued by the Group to guarantee a customer's compliance as regards a third party.
Liabilities for Foreign Trade Operations
They are conditional commitments for foreign trade transactions.
Our exposure to the loss of credit in the event of noncompliance by the other party in the financial instrument is represented by the notional contractual amount of the same investments.
The credit exposure for these transactions is detailed below:

CNV Summary Proceeding No. 87/2024.
•Date of notification of the opening of the summary proceeding: April 30, 2024.
•Imputation of Charges: Alleged violation of Article 117, Paragraph “b”, of Law No. 26,831, as amended, Article 2°, Paragraphs “a”, “b” and “c”, Section II, Chapter III, Title XII, of the CNV Regulations (consolidated text of 2013 and amendments), and Article 59 of Law No. 19,550, based on a report prepared by the Argentine Central Bank and sent to the CNV, which indicates that it has detected a series of transactions that, affecting the volumes and prices considered, could have induced a distorted application of Communication “A” 7546 and complementary notes in the execution of put options that have the Argentine Central Bank as the acquiring party. In their report, they state that in spite of the difficulties to accurately establish the valuations of bonds with hybrid characteristics, such as dual bonds, accentuated by the low liquidity and a discontinuous distribution of the curve, the put options executed could not have been exercised at the resulting levels if there had not been transactions carried out on February 19 and 20, 2024 by the Bank and its related companies Galicia Securities S.A.U. and Inviu S.A.U. The transactions between the aforementioned companies allegedly allowed the exercise of the liquidity option (PUT) of the Dual Bond (TDE25) for NV Ps. 113 million according to Communication “A” 7546 and complementary notes, in apparent excess for an amount of Ps. 23,072,000 in relation to the amount that would have corresponded if an extrapolated price had been applied. The result generated by such transaction was registered under the line “Net Income from Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” in the Statement of Income.
•Defendants: six Regular Directors and the three Regular Syndics of the Bank, three Regular Directors and the three Regular Syndics of Galicia Securities S.A.U. in office at the time of the facts, and five Regular Directors and the three Regular Syndics of INVIU S.A.U. in office at the time of the facts.
•Status of the case: During the period, the pertinent answers to the charge have been presented; on the other hand, the Argentine Central Bank debited the amount of Ps. 28,837,892 voluntarily offered by the Entity as full compensation for the alleged damage and interest, without prejudice to the defense arguments, or recognition of facts or rights, a situation that has been notified to the CNV.
As of the date of preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, provisions have been made, the impact of which is registered in the line “Other Operating Expenses” in the Statement of Income, based on the opinion of our legal advisors, without excluding the possibility of changes in the situation that may occur in the future based on the progress of the case.
Subsequent to the end of the period, the following notification has been received:
•Date of notification of the opening of the summary: October 23, 2024.
•Imputed charges: alleged management and/or internal control failures and weaknesses of the financial institution in apparent violation of the provisions in: (i) certain sections of the Consolidated Text of the "Minimum Standards on Internal Controls for Financial Entities" and its complementary and amended provisions; (ii) certain provisions of the Orderly Text of the “Norms on Guidelines for Risk Management in Financial Institutions”, as supplemented and amended; and (iii) certain provisions of the Orderly Text of the “Norms on Guidelines for Corporate Governance in Financial Institutions”, and its complementary and amended provisions. This, based on the transactions carried out between February 19, 2024 and February 21, 2024 by the Bank and its related companies Galicia Securities S.A.U. and INVIU S.A.U. with the Dual Bond (TDE25) and the subsequent execution of the liquidity option (put).

36.7. ISSUANCE OF BONDS
Debt Securities issues are detailed in Notes 17 and 19.
36.8. RESTRICTIONS TO DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS
According to Art. 70 of the General Companies Act, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. must transfer to Legal Reserve 5% of the profit for the fiscal year, until said reserve reaches 20% of the capital stock plus the balance of the Capital Adjustment account.
As regards Banco Galicia, Argentine Central Bank regulations stipulate that 20% of the profits as per the Statement of Income at fiscal year closing must be allocated to Legal Reserve, plus (or minus) the Adjustments of the previous fiscal years and minus the accumulated loss, if any, at the closing of the previous fiscal year.
This proportion is applied regardless of the Legal Reserve to Capital Stock ratio. Whenever the Legal Reserve is used to absorb losses, profits may only be distributed again when the Reserve value reaches 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment.
In accordance with the conditions established by the Argentine Central Bank, profits may only be distributed to the extent that Income is positive, after deducting the following items from the Retained Earnings, in addition to the Legal Reserve and that set forth in Bylaws, which set up be enforceable: the difference between the book value and the market value of public sector assets, and/or Argentine Central Bank's debt instruments not valued at market price, the amounts activated by deposits-related judicial causes, and the non-accounted adjustments required by the Argentine Central Bank and the external audit.
Additionally, another requirement in order to be able to distribute profits is to comply with the minimum capital technical ratio. The latter, exclusively for these purposes, will be determined by excluding the items mentioned above from asset and Retained Earnings. Likewise, the existing exemptions in terms of requirement, integration and/or minimum capital position will not be computed.
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 1 ordinary principal, net of deductible items. Income distribution will be limited when the level and composition of the entity'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 01.01.24 until 12.31.24, the financial institutions may distribute income for up to 60% of the accumulated income, with prior authorization by said institution. In turn, said distribution may be made in 3 installments in homogeneous currency of each payment.
In May, the Argentine Central Bank authorized Banco Galicia the distribution of profits for a total amount of Ps.255,000,000 expressed in December 2023 currency, which were paid in full on the date of signing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting of Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. held on March 16, 2006 resolved to set the maximum limit for the distribution of dividends at 25% of the realized and liquid earnings of each fiscal year, said restriction will remain in force as long as the Company's Shareholders' Equity is less than Ps. 300,000 (Ps. 104,293,726 in closing currency).
NOTE 37. ECONOMIC CONTEXT WHERE THE GROUP OPERATES
The Group operates in a complex economic context, both in the national and international spheres.
F-54
GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On the international front, Donald Trump's victory led to disparate movements in financial assets. Assets such as the main stock indexes and the dollar reacted upwards while fixed income was negatively affected. Trump's proposed policies, such as tax cuts, increased protectionism and regulatory easing, boosted expectations for economic growth and corporate profit margins, especially in small and medium-sized companies. However, this new policy stance generated a spike in interest rates due to higher expectations of future inflation. Despite this, the Federal Reserve announced a further 25 bps cut in line with market expectations, bringing the rate range to 4.5%-4.75%. Despite the decision, US bond yields rose to 4.4% for the 10-year case, while, by contrast, equities advanced by an average of 2% over the last month.
At the local level, during the first half of 2024, the Gross Domestic Product showed a 3.4% drop compared to the first half of 2023. The retraction was explained by investment (-24.6%), private consumption (-8.2%) and public consumption (-5.2%). Exports, on the other hand, grew 29%. In seasonally adjusted terms, the Gross Domestic Product accumulated three consecutive quarters of contraction, with decreases of 2.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023, 2.2% in the first quarter of 2024 and 1.7% in the second quarter of 2024. However, according to data from the Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity, the third quarter of 2024 would have recovered 3.4% with respect to the previous quarter.
After closing 2023 with an inflation rate of 25.5% in December, the speed of price variation has been declining throughout 2024. In October, inflation was below 3%, standing at 2.7% per month. On a year-on-year basis, the rate of price variation slowed to 193.0%, having reached a peak of 289.4% in April 2024. In the first ten months of the year, cumulative inflation amounted to 107.0%.
After the exchange rate jump in December 2023 and up to the present, the exchange rate has sustained a crawl of around 2% per month. The exchange rate went from 810.7 Ps./USD since the beginning of January to 1006.8 Ps./USD as of November 22, according to BCRA Communication “A” 3500.
So far in 2024, the International Reserves increased by USD 7,800 million, an increase explained by the purchases of foreign currency from the private sector. As of November 22, such purchases amounted to USD 17,693 million.
The money laundering program implemented by the Government achieved the regularization of USD 23,321 million during Stage 1. This was made up of USD 20,631 million in special accounts and in special asset regularization accounts (CERA and CCERA), while the remaining USD 2,690 million was made up of other declared assets. As part of the asset externalization process, private sector dollar deposits amounted to USD 33,387 million (data as of November 19), a growth of USD 14,779 million between August 15 and November 19. Dollar credit to the private sector stood at USD 8,786 million as of the latest available data, an increase of USD 2,204 million during the mentioned period.
As of July 22, the Central Bank ceased to carry out overnight passive passive operations, defining the Fiscal Liquidity Bills (LEFI) as the new liquidity regulation instruments within a new monetary framework. The reference rate has become that of the LEFI, securities issued by the Treasury whose rate is defined by the Central Bank.
The monetary authority has made six interest rate cuts this year. The benchmark interest rate was reduced from 100% at the beginning of 2024 to 35% at the beginning of November. It remains at this level at the time of writing.
During the first ten months of 2024, the Non-financial Public Sector presented a surplus primary result of Ps. 10,325,310 million (equivalent to 1.8% of GDP). This result, net of interest payments, gave rise to a positive financial result of Ps. 2,964,929 million (0.5% of GDP). This was explained by a year-on-year fall in real expenditure of 28.9%, which exceeded the real deterioration in revenues (-6.6% year-on-year).
In May 2024, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that its technical team had completed the eighth review of the Extended Fund Facility Agreement. This review was approved in June by the IMF Board of Directors, thereby enabling the disbursement of approximately USD 800 million. Additionally, it was reported that all performance criteria for the first quarter had been met with margins, resulting in a better outcome than initially expected. Revisions for the second and third quarters are still pending.
The context of volatility and uncertainty continues at the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
The Group's Directors permanently monitor the evolution of the variables that affect their business, to define their course of action and identify the potential impacts on their financial position. These consolidated financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.
