- Net income of AR$851.4 million, up 60.0% YoY, and 36.4% QoQ. ROAE of 23.3% in 4Q17, as average. equity reflects the September 2017 equity follow-on. This compares with ROAE of 31.3% in 4Q16 and 27.0% in 3Q17. ROAA of 4.1% in 4Q17, stable YoY and increasing by 60 bps QoQ.

- NIM of 19.4% in 4Q17, contracted by 140 bps YoY but expanded by 90 bps QoQ. The YoY decrease reflects the combination of the non-recurrent gain from the termination of the Supervielle Renta Inmobiliaria Financial Trust reflected in financial income in 4Q16, a higher mix of both US dollar (US$) assets and liabilities and corporate segment loans along with lower Investment Portfolio returns. Sequential growth reflects the repricing of the loan portfolio, the benefit from the follow-on proceeds which partially offset the increase in cost of funds well below the 170 bps increase in the average Buenos Aires Deposits of Large Amount ("Badlar") and a stable currency mix of the loan portfolio.
- Efficiency ratio improved to 60.2% in 4Q17 compared with 64.5% in 4Q16, and 61.9% in 3Q17.

CEO Message
Commenting on fourth quarter and fiscal year results, Patricio Supervielle, Grupo Supervielle's Chairman and CEO, noted: "I am very pleased to report that once again we met or exceeded our annual guidance targets. Our franchise continues to show its strength as we continue to implement our profitable growth strategy, expanding net income by almost 40% sequentially in the quarter. We exceeded industry growth particularly in deposits, growing YoY 57%, almost doubling system growth. Our diversified and competitive retail-based deposits franchise has proved to be one of our key competitive advantages and a key element supporting our strategy going forward. Our loan portfolio in the quarter expanded by 13.4% QoQ and 55.7% YoY, compared to 51.9% YoY industry growth. Similar to past quarters, the corporate segment was the driver of loan growth, while the retail segment continues to gain momentum through rapid growth in mortgage loans. Our good performance was also supported by a resilient net interest margin and improved efficiency as we continue to further leverage our branch network."
"While improved macro dynamics were reported across all sectors of the economy benefitting our corporate segment, inflation remained higher than anticipated in the fourth quarter. Persistent inflation and soft job recovery continue to impact our consumer finance segment resulting in higher cost of risk. However, this was fully priced in. Our view is that this Administration will succeed in further bringing down inflation over the next two years. This presents an opportunity to position ourselves ahead of a stabilized macroeconomic environment and capture market share. As always, we are closely monitoring our portfolio to assure healthy loan growth."
"We are particularly enthusiastic with the accelerated growth in mortgage loans experienced in the fourth quarter of 2017 and based on our estimates in December we captured nearly 10% of the mortgages originated by private sector banks. As we continue to expand our customer base with focus on high-margin SMEs, this quarter we launched a new customized value proposition focused on serving the specific needs of transportation companies. We are very pleased with the ongoing success of our cross-selling initiatives, particularly in non-financial services. During the quarter we also opened two new branches in the City of Buenos Aires, in areas with large concentration of SMEs as we deepen our focus on this attractive segment."
"Looking ahead, positive economic signs including GDP growth, job creation and lower inflation support expectations of continued growth in 2018. We continue to deliver on our growth strategy, with net income anticipated to increase between 64 - 76% during the year, driven by sustained loan growth, improving operating efficiency, while remaining vigilant around our risk profile," concluded Mr. Supervielle.
