The strong sequential earnings recovery and improved efficiency are positive, but the sharp deterioration in NPL ratio (10.6% vs 5.5% a year ago) and rising cost of risk warrant caution. Monitor the conference call on August 26 for guidance on credit quality trends and the outlook for net interest margin as Argentine rates continue to decline. The cross-filing context includes a 20-F annual report from April 2026, which provides baseline financials for context.

Executive Summary
Grupo Financiero Galicia reported Q2 2026 net income attributable to the company of Ps.258,322 million, up 12% YoY and 264% QoQ, driven by lower funding costs, improved government bond returns, and lower loan-loss provisions. The quarter benefited from declining inflation (6.8% vs 9.4% QoQ), which reduced the net monetary position loss. However, the NPL ratio deteriorated to 10.6% from 5.5% a year ago, and net interest income was flat YoY. The results are a strong sequential recovery but show mixed year-over-year credit quality trends in a declining rate environment in Argentina.
