In 4Q15 Banco Macro’s administrative expenses reached Ps.2.0 billion, 6% or Ps.107.6 million higher than the previous quarter mainly due to higher personnel expenses and advertising & publicity expenses. Administrative expenses increased 28% or Ps.438.2 million YoY due to an increase in personnel expenses (mainly higher salaries and other concepts) and other operating expenses.

Personnel expenses grew 6% or Ps.63.7 million QoQ, basically due to the provision accounted for bonuses by Ps.119.2 million and for the one-time payment agreed with the Unions by Ps.56.2 million. This was partially offset by the accounting of the “Bankers Day” payment and other items for Ps.133 million, made in the previous quarter and which were not repeated in 4Q15.

Personal expenses increased 29% or Ps.265.5 million compared to 4Q14.

In 2015, administrative expenses increased 31% compared to 2014.

As of December 2015, the accumulated efficiency ratio reached 46.1%, better than the 47.7% posted in 4Q14. Administrative expenses grew 31% in 2015, while net financial income and net fee income grew 36% as a whole in the same year.

Solvency

Banco Macro continued showing high solvency levels in 4Q15 with an integrated capital (RPC) of Ps.15.3 billion over a total capital requirement of Ps.8.4 billion. Banco Macro´s excess capital in 4Q15 was 82% or Ps.6.9 billion.

The capitalization ratio (as a percentage of risk-weighted assets- RWA) was 20.8% in 4Q15, above the minimum required by the Central Bank.

Changes established by Communication "A" 5831 and "A" 5877 of the BCRA (whereby from December 2015 the credit risk requirement has to be calculated considering the month-end balances of eligible concepts instead of monthly average balances) had a minor impact on the Bank, causing a reduction in its capitalization ratio of 70bp.

The Bank´s aim is to make the best use of this excess capital.
