CEO Message

Commenting on third quarter results, Patricio Supervielle, Grupo Supervielle's Chairman and CEO, noted: "On the back of improved economic dynamics across all sectors of the economy, we achieved broad-based above-market loan and deposits growth, while driving efficiency and profitability gains. By contrast, in the consumer finance segment confidence is lagging behind economic recovery in the context of persistent inflation and soft job recovery. This resulted in a slight increase in our cost of risk during the quarter. However, we saw an improvement in overall NPLs and maintain a vigilant focus on asset quality."

"The successful completion of our follow-on equity offering in September, just 16 months after our IPO, provided additional US$342 million in capital to support accelerated growth. Based on our solid performance to-date, increased capital and our expectations for a positive economic environment ahead, we are increasing our net income guidance for fiscal year 2017."

"We are excited about the rapid growth in mortgage loans which started this year where, based on our estimates, today we rank among the top 5 originators within private sector banks. We have also been busy introducing new products into the market to further increase our customer base, offer a tailor-made value proposition and build long-term relationships. We launched a new product offering dedicated to franchisees aimed at promoting the adoption of technology, training and professionalism into their businesses."
