GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR ITS

SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 7, 2014 – Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (“Grupo Financiero Galicia”, “GFG”) (Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: GGAL /NASDAQ: GGAL) today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

NET INCOME FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

? Net income for the second quarter ended on June 30, 2014, amounted to Ps. 693.2 million or Ps. 0.533 per share, equivalent to Ps. 5.332 per ADS.

? This result was mainly attributable to the income derived from our interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. (“the Bank”) for Ps. 647.1 million, in Sudamericana Holding S.A. for Ps. 51.3 million and from the deferred tax adjustment for Ps. 15.5 million partially offset by administrative and financial expenses of Ps. 31.7 million.

? During the second quarter ended on June 30, 2014 the Bank recorded a net income of Ps. 673.3 million, higher than the Ps. 383.0 million corresponding to the second quarter of FY 2013.

? The difference between the net income obtained by the Bank of Ps. 673.3 million and the income registered by GFG of Ps. 647.1 million, mainly correspond to the elimination of the profit of Ps. 25.5 million related to the sale of the stake of Galicia Administradora de Fondos S.A. to GFG.

? As of June 30, 2014, the Bank’s market share of loans to the private sector was 8.65%.
