- Grupo Financiero Galicia reported a net loss of ARS 87.7 billion for Q3 2025, resulting in a -4.7% annualized return on average equity (ROAE). This loss was primarily due to ARS 105.3 billion in extraordinary restructuring expenses, net of income tax, associated with the merger with HSBC Argentina.
- Excluding these extraordinary expenses, the ROAE for Q3 2025 would have been 1%, and the accumulated annualized ROAE for the nine months would have reached 6.9%.
- Asset quality deteriorated, with the non-performing loans (NPLs) to total financing ratio reaching 5.8% in September 2025, a 140 basis points increase from the previous quarter.

- Grupo Financiero Galicia's net operating income decreased by 23% in Q3 2025, primarily due to a 10% decline in net interest income and an 89% drop in net results from financial instruments, alongside a 26% increase in loan loss provisions. This was partially offset by a 9% growth in net fee income and a 12% increase in profits from gold and FX quotation differences.
- The company's asset quality deteriorated, with the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to total financing increasing by 140 basis points to 5.8% in Q3 2025, mainly impacting personal loans and credit card financing.

- NPLs and cost of risk are anticipated to peak around March 2026 at 6-7% and 9-10%, respectively, before improving by the end of the year. The bank also plans for 25% real loan growth in 2026, focusing on commercial lending in sectors like oil & gas, mining, and agri business, and expects to gain market share.
