At this moment, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question- and- answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press the raise hand button. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker, Manuel Rivero Zambrano. Thank you. Please go ahead. Thanks. Good morning, everyone. I hope you and your families are well. We're presenting our first quarter 2026 results, which reflect our continued focus on disciplined execution amid a more challenging environment. Mexico's economic environment has become more challenging. Slower GDP growth and a trade policy also that they are affecting business confidence in ways we are actively monitoring. Our commercial strategies continue to focus on expanding our presence in key regions while maintaining strict cost control and credit underwriting discipline. We remain focused on diversifying our income streams, particularly through non-financial revenue growth, as well as increasing the share of fixed-rate loans, which provide partial compensation for margin pressures. Net income for the quarter reached MXN 1,515 million, a 7% year-on-year decrease. Our return on average equity contracted to 224 basis points year-on-year to 18.4% on a last 12-month basis. While this reflects pressure from operating environment, profitability remains at solid levels and continues to reflect our focus on maintaining asset quality and long-term returns. Asset quality remained resilient during the quarter. Our consolidated non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.3%, a 7 basis points improvement year-on-year. While cost of risk contracted 3 basis points to 1%, both metrics reflecting the discipline of our underwriting standards. We continue to monitor credit trends closely, particularly given the current macroenvironment. Regional delivered a 9% year-on-year loan growth, with particularly strong performance in Jalisco and solid wholesale momentum in Mexico City, where the portfolio grew 13% quarter-on-quarter. Our strongest subsequential performance in the region in recent periods. On the funding side, core deposits grew 30% year-on-year, reflecting continued client engagement across our network. Together, volume growth in both lending and deposits drove 3% expansion in the financial margin. Our diversification efforts show progress with core merchant fees growing 12% year-on-year and insurance fees 41% year-on-year. Non-financial income grew 5% year-on-year, continued progress toward a more diversified revenue base. Operating expenses grew 11% year-on-year, driven primarily by technology investments and geographic expansion, both deliberate decisions that support our medium-term growth agenda. This resulted in an efficiency ratio of 43.0% and a 265 basis points increase year-on-year. As the investment cycle matures, we expect expense growth to moderate and efficiency to improve progressively from current levels. The wholesale loan portfolio grew 9% year-on-year, with particularly strong performance in Mexico City at 25% of the book and Jalisco at 23%. We have been seeing some moderation in our origination demand as businesses have been adopting a more cautious stance, a trend we believe in the sector-wide and consistent with current macroenvironments. Wholesale banking time deposits increased 63% year-on-year, reflecting a strong institutional client activity. Despite this growth in deposits, our CASA ratio stood at 41.5%, supported by continued momentum in demand deposits across retail and commercial clients. Retail banking continues to show healthy momentum with the Preferred Banking core deposit growing at 50% year-on-year, reflecting solid client engagement and trust. Our branch network continues to expand in disciplined manner, focused on the high-potential locations and aligned with evolving customer needs. Notably, consumer and auto loans both grew 10%, an indicator of growing client acquisition and deepening relationships. Asset quality remains in key strength, with non-performing loans ratio at healthy levels across all segments. Wholesale at 1%, consumer at 2.9%, and auto at outstanding 0.6%, and mortgage at 1.1%. These figures reflect the effectiveness of our underwriting standards and the resilience of our customer base. Hey Banco continues to advance in its strategic shift toward profitability over pure growth, prioritizing higher quality customers over volume expansion. This disciplined approach is delivering results. The individual loan portfolio grew 10% year-on-year, while our business loan portfolio reached MXN 4,559 million, a 23% increase, demonstrating strong traction in target segments. Hey Banco reported financial margin of MXN 282 million, net interest margin reached 10.4%, an increase of 271 basis points year-on-year, reflecting improved asset yields and a more profitable customer mix. Our efficiency ratio improved to 53.0% and a 996 basis point year-on-year reduction, highlighting the progress in cost containment even as we continue investment in automation and digitalized capabilities. Our active individual customer base stands at 458,000, consistent with our strategy of prioritizing quality over scale. We reduced our cost of risk by 76 basis points to 5.6%. While remaining vigilant on credit trends. Net income for the quarter reached MXN 7 million, up 59% year-on-year. Given the progress we have made in the customer mix, pricing, and discipline and cost containment, we expect profitability to continue trending higher. The spin-off is complete, and Hey Banco is operating as a fully independent entity. Turning to Hey Pago, total billing increased 90% year-on-year growth, primarily driven by a payment facilitators segments of 53% year-over-year, reflecting broader adoption of acquiring and processing solutions among partner merchants. Stable contributions from aggregators and large corporate clients continue to support volume diversification. In conclusion, our results this quarter reflect a delayed investment cycle and a more challenging macroeconomic environment, both of which we anticipate. What gives us confidence in going into the rest of 2026 is not the headline growth rate, but the underlying quality of our franchise. Asset quality remains resilient. Capital stands at 15.7% and the strongest in recent years. Hey Banco is reaching profitability, and our core business continues to generate consistent returns. We expect NIM to begin normalizing from the second quarter onward as deposits repricing stabilizes, and we anticipate top-line dynamics to improve substantially through the year. We remain focused on executing against our 2026 targets, and we're confident in our ability to deliver them. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance our operations and explore new opportunities fully committed to our strategic goals. We're confident that Regional will maintain our strong financial performance, ensuring superior profitability and asset quality for the benefit for all the shareholders. Thank you very much. We appreciate any questions. Ladies and gentlemen, to ask a question, you will need to press the raise hand button. To withdraw your question, please press the l ower hand button. Please stand by while we compile our Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Maria Mazzoni from Bradesco. Hi, guys. Can you hear me? Hello? Yes. Hi, this is Eric talking. Congrats on the results. Hi, Manuel, Enrique, Alejandro. I have a question regarding your margins. We have noticed a meaningful decrease this quarter. Can you give us some color on the main drivers for this? Your cost of funding was stable quarter- on- quarter, so we want to understand, like, how much came from your sensitivity to interest rates. Anything else on mix or competition? Thank you. Yes, thank you for your question. There is, as you mentioned, there are two main drivers. The assets are repricing faster than expected. Basically, all the business loans portfolio is variable, indexed to TIIE, and is the main reason of the decrease. On the other hand, the deposits is taking longer. As you saw, or maybe you don't saw, but there is also a change of mix between time deposits and demand deposits. Basically, that's the main explanation. What should we expect to the future is to recover, not fully, not go all the way to the 6%, but we have already seen in April, the repricing of time deposits that is lagging, and usually is on that way. We'll continue shifting the mix of the portfolio to segments like small businesses and consumer lending that, as they are very small portfolios compared to the medium and large companies segment or the wholesale, as we call it will take for the next two quarters. Basically, the improvement that you will see in the next quarters will come from the repricing of the time deposits that is taking longer. Not than expected. Is longer than the loans. Loans next month, at the end of the month, the rate is changed and deposits, time deposits usually is 90 days, then it will take two more months to reprice the whole deposits. That's super clear. If I may do a follow-up, regarding your guidance for NIM, right? You're currently below the guidance, so you mentioned that you expect a gradual recovery over the quarters. Looking at the full year, where your expectation for now stand in the middle or more to the lower end of your guidance? No, to the lower end of the guidance, to the 6%. Okay. We also have to delete some small impacts, but then our impact on the spin-off The management of the two treasuries on the consolidated level was an impact. It was planned in terms of have excess of liquidity in both banks once they were totally separated. Right now we are managing an integrated treasury to delete that excess of liquidity that is expensive. If you saw, we increased up to MXN 5 billion the Certificados Bursátiles. No, it's not security investment. It's the debt that we issue in the leasing company. [audio distortion] I t's our more expensive liability or funding. There are some room, but not all the way to the 6.3%, obviously, on the 12 months. It's more close to the 6%. That's super clear. Thanks so much. Our next question comes from Brian Flores with Citi. Hi, team. Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. I wanted to check with you because as my colleague was mentioning, I think the delta, right, from your consolidated figure for the first quarter versus the run rate as of February, which is the public data from CNBV, showed, as you mentioned, no better trends in NII, which we now understand is coming and should continue coming from the funding side. We also saw some pressures on the provisioning side again, you know, during March. Just wanted to check with you, Enrique, if the run rate for provisioning is higher. We also noted that during the quarter, you had some help from reclassification of NPLs towards a current loan. Just wanted to understand if this is to be expected also to continue helping or if we should see maybe a higher level here on provisioning? On provisioning. No, on provisioning, we had in January, we wrote off some of the portfolio on [Key]. You can see the improvement on the NPL on Hey Banco before the spin-off. That's one of the explanations. In March, we have been mentioning these five to six cases. There are six large cases that we are managing in the Wholesale Business in BanRegio. That one deteriorated, but is in the process of improving. We should see an improvement in BanRegio Wholesale segment on the next quarter. All in consolidated, we should remain between 0.9% and 1% for the full year. Basically in the two ends. What we have seen is that Hey Banco improved the provisioning and should be maintained, not only because the write-offs, but also because the improvement of the credit quality of the portfolio of individuals. The small businesses is pretty healthy, and the auto is more healthy. In BanRegio, as the whole year has been the wholesale, there are still two out of the six, we are working, we are almost there on the foreclose and the asset disposal that should maintain below 1%. We maintain our guidance up to 1%. Perfect. Just confirming, you're still comfortable with the range? Unlike maybe in the NIM that is more on the lower part, here is maybe the midpoint. Is that correct? Yes. Great. If I may do a second question very quickly. We saw yesterday the announcement from President Sheinbaum regarding this maybe coordinated plan to waive commissions from electronic fuel payments on gasoline-related acquiring fees. Just wanted to see with you if you have any color on this. I know it's a short-term impact, obviously expected to be, I would say, remunerated by higher transactions down the road. If you could give us some color on this coordination, that would be, I think it would be great for investors. Yes. It's not in the acquiring business that is something that is misunderstood, is on the issuing business. Obviously, we also have an impact, but it's very small. Even if it were in the acquiring business, we have a very reduced number of agencies, oil and gasoline, agencies. In the issuing business, is where the commission is moving to 0%. If you saw the percentages where made sense, is a commission that we call the intermediation commission, that goes to the issuer of the credit or debit card. The acquiring, that is the other 1% usually is like 1% and 1%. In this case is 1% and 0.75% and 0.49%. The 0.75% for credit card and the 0.49% for debit is the part. We don't have a number of specific transactions. We can, if you call Alejandro maybe in two weeks, we can have the historic income. Should not be that large and should benefit in other parts, as you mentioned, more transactionality. The full objective that we fully agree with the government is to reduce the use of cash and increase the use of electronic payments. Perfect. Very helpful. Thank you, team. Our next question comes from Maripaz Bodegas from GBM. Thank you for your time. My question is regarding Hey Banco. We saw in the CNBV data from February that it delivered an ROE above 20%. We would like to understand, like, where this could go forward and what would you expect to reach in the end of the year. Yes. Can you repeat the number you saw, 20%? Yes. Yes. W e saw an ROE of above 20% in February from the CNBV data. No, no. To be very, very clear and transparent, as I mentioned, we did write-offs in advance, and right now we are not. We have two expenses that are missing in February and March. There's the normal should be like MXN 30 million. That month was MXN 44 million, MXN 40 million, and March was MXN 33 million. And the expectation is around 15% of ROE for this year. I don't know if that was clear. Perfect. Thank you. Like MXN 360 million out of the MXN 2.1 billion equity. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Ernesto Gabilondo with Bank of America. Thank you. Hi, good morning, Manuel, Enrique, and Alex. Thanks for the opportunity, I have three questions from my side. The first one is, when analyzing the first quarter net income, we see there's a 8% contraction for the full year. How are you seeing your 2026 guidance after this first quarter? My second question is in terms of your NII growth. I think you explained it a little bit in terms of means, but how should we think about NII growth in the next quarters? We saw it was kind of limited this quarter, as you explained, because of lower rates. Also, there has been soft lending activity, but it was especially in the first two months. Then, you started to see stronger demand at, in March, and actually you end at a high single-digit above some of your peers. Thinking more on the next quarters that the easing cycle is almost ending, that you posted this high single-digit and you probably will have higher financial interest in the next quarter. Then you have Hey Banco, which is growing the loan book at the double-digit. How should we expect the NII growth going forward? Should it could start to go from a mid-single-digit to start going more to a mid-to-high single-digit? Any color on that will be helpful. My second question is on non-credit related revenue. We know that fees came at a mid-single-digit year-over-year growth. Just wondering if you start to see more transactions or very economic activity, if we can start to see also this line with a little bit of upside. Also in these non-credit related revenues, we saw other income. Other income, we saw there was a wider loss in the quarter. I don't know if this is related to seasonality in loan recoveries and sale of assets, so maybe some of those materialize at the end of the year. I also wanted to know your thoughts on that. My last question is on OpEx. We know it came below the double-digit growth. It was a good quarter from that. Having said that, you have said in the past that we should expect double-digit growth for 2026, and that is explained because of branch openings, technology investments or all of what you have said. I just wanted like through all of these questions, how can I expect the guidance for the year where should I be seeing like the tailwinds to feel comfortable that you can still achieve your guidance? Thank you. Thank you for your question or your questions, Ernesto. I will start with the last question. We will maintain the guidance. We know that if we consider an average of MXN 1.7 billion, looks challenging, but our budget, that is really what guide us on our commercial activity, is increasing. I will move to the parts that will help to increase. We are below our budget, but not for MXN 200 million to recover. In terms of, I will go backwards on the questions. Operating expenses, OpEx, we have seen an impact on salaries and benefits that happens in the first quarter because it's where we see the general increase. We have to consider other parts that is not like the afford increase that is 1% additional every year and some related provisioning. The total number of employees is 300 less employees at last year. If you remember, we disclosed in the third quarter a reduction of around 10% of the people and like 7% of the cost. It will be shown on comparison every quarter on salaries and benefits. The other expenses, the two main reasons that increased and that will be maintained is all the investment that we are doing on the expansion, geographic expansion, as well as all the investment that we have done in technology, for both banks and also for the spin-off, is shown in the recurring depreciation or amortization of the projects. That will lead to the low teens in the whole year. That is maintained. The good news or bad news as if you want to see it, is that all the investment in the expansion is already done and is very easy to project because it's depreciation for the next five or 10 years. The same happens with the project. The investment done that you can see in the intangible assets, it will amortize in seven years. You can project it. It's a bad news because you cannot reduce or depreciate faster. It's a good news because also gives stability on the projection to maintain our guidance or our expectation because it's not a guidance officially. The mix of the both salaries and benefits and OpEx will go to low teens. Even it could go a little bit lower. We didn't have ambition the impact on what we call other benefits. We were monitoring very close the base salary. Base salary is almost not increasing at all. All the other government- related and accounting- related ones, provisioning, increased more than expected in this quarter and should not do it in the next quarters. In terms of net interest income, as I mentioned, we have already seen in April, is not yet public information, is internal one, the repricing of time deposits, at least by 10 basis points in these first 15 days. That will help the NIM and loans is not repricing anymore because there was not a change on the policy rate this month. Also the growth. We don't have a bulk number or a total number growth. We maintain a mid-single digit. Mid-single digit for the growth of margin as an amount. We maintain a high single- digit for the loans. As you have seen, March was especially good, as we are increasing the pipeline and liberating some of the loans that were approved last year, but was fully contracted and executed this first quarter and the pipeline is good for wholesale and small businesses. Excellent. I don't know if I missed any of the questions. Only in terms of the market, non-credit related revenue, so any color on fees and any color on other income. Yes. On fees, we have the FX is recovering. If you remember, in the third quarter, we did a close of very aggressive of the business to review and to do a full due diligence to our largest customers in FX. The due diligence took longer than expected until the end of the year. This quarter, we saw an increase, and you can see versus the third and fourth quarter, that were the lowest ones, where we are not that well is in derivatives or the IRS market-related income. Other market-related income, that is not FX. In FX, that is our largest one. We have seen a recovery, and we expect to continue recovering all the way that it was on July or June before what happened with the other two institutions. We decided to be more strict and more to do a full due diligence to all the companies. Even we closed in our electronic banking the international transfers. We are opening once we have finish each one by one, each customer that make international transfers, especially to the countries that we decided, mainly the Far East, say that. Just before other income. Yes. In terms of fees, it was around a 5% year-over-year growth in the first quarter. Should we expect that trend or should we start to think it could be between mid-to-high single digits? Should move to mid- to high- single digit, closer to 10%, but not above. The 15% that we had last year, would be very difficult, for, in all the lines. I won't go. In other income, we had a high expense as we mentioned in the last conference call. In the second quarter, we created a lot of provisions for securities investments and derivatives, from customers. We had adjusted our methodology to reflect the real risk, and then we free all the provisioning on the last quarter. This quarter, the provisioning was very small, like MXN 10 million. It, it shows the contrast, but we should see the second quarter where all the expense was done. We are not changing again the methodologies. Basically, we were over-provisioning on all our securities investment portfolio is government, is mainly cetes, and a little bit of bondes. There is no commercial paper there, the methodology was not considering that. It was a mistake to provision that we corrected on the last quarter, and we free all that provisioning. For example, in terms of other income, we saw MXN -335 million. How should we think about this line, like going forward? Should we expect the same MXN -335 million per quarter? Should it be kind of lower? If there is seasonality? No. As you can see historically, there is variation there, but should be negative for all the concepts that are in there. Should be around MXN 250 million per quarter negative. It depends also on the, mainly on the variations on the assets. We have some impact also with the dollar related, is where it is shown. Excellent. No, thank you so much. Just the last question, I promised, is related to the USMCA renegotiation. Any color that you can provide us on what your expectations about it, I think will be helpful. We haven't include in our guidance any improvement or very big improvement, even though we know that the second half could be much better. We have seen good advances in terms of the negotiation. In terms even in dates, we were expecting to be finished more close to the official date of October. If you have seen, Secretary Ebrard is talking about July, not October, it's a little bit optimistic. We hope that is finished. Again, we expect to improve. Mainly, we see some sectors like the agribusiness and in general the agricultural there is being affected by the exchange rate. We expect that if the exchange rate move a little bit up and all these taxes and everything, and they can continue exporting, to see an improvement over there. On the other lines of business, we don't see either a big impact or a big improvement. Basically, the only line of business where we have seen already an improvement in advance is warehouses and industrial real estate, mainly here in the North, but also some on the Bajío region. That's mainly what we expect. We are cautiously optimistic. I like it, phrase of Mr. Ebrard in terms that maybe we will not see a 0% tax or 0% tariff, but it won't be worse that we already have. Basically, he was saying it will be less than the ones that we already have. Any improvement is welcome. Excellent. No, thank you very much, Enrique. Thank you to you, Ernesto. Our next question comes from Tito Labarta with Goldman Sachs. Sorry, and good morning. Thanks for the call and taking my question. Just one question, actually. You know, good level of capital here at 15.7% in Q1. How are you thinking about your capital base, your ability to return dividends? Maybe, I guess, along those lines, loan growth was fairly good in the quarter. I mean, can that accelerate further from here, and just to put that also in your need for capital or ability to return capital? Thank you. Thank you, Tito. We have already paid a dividend on April that it was not shown in the 15.7%, because that's the last official that we have t hat is February. It will be shown in the adjustment in April, that it was paid around the 9 of April. It was MXN 4 per share. Around MXN 1.6 billion. Say that it moves to 14%, still a very good level. We will maintain the second dividend in October if everything is as planned. In terms of the growth of loans, as I mentioned, we have a good pipeline in the Wholesale Business, but not enough to talk about breaking the two-single digit, the two digit, sorry, the 10% of growth. We are optimistic to maintain the high single digits. 8% or 9% is achievable, as long as the wholesale is maintained in that range, and Hey Banco, as mentioned, is in 20%. It should maintain the rate. Yeah, okay. No, that makes a lot of sense. Just, like, is 14% then the right core Tier 1? Could you go lower? Just to think, I guess, about additional dividends is kinda where I was going with it. Yes. It's, if understood right, the question is 14% the official one, and it will increase with the profits, and then it will go back to around 14% once we pay the second dividend. Okay, great. Thank you. You're welcome. Our next question comes from Danele Miranda from Santander. Hi. Good morning, Manuel, Enrique, Alejandro. Thank you for taking my question. Just a quick follow-up from my side on margins. I know you mentioned it should improve in the coming quarters. Just trying to understand what portion of your assets is still expected to reprice over the next, let's say, 12 months. I mean, how much of your loan book has not yet fully adjusted to the current rate environment and could therefore continue to put pressure on margins more on the asset side rather than the improvement in cost of funds? Just give me a second. Just wait. Here it is. It has already adjusted, as I mentioned, to the last policy rate and is directly indexed to the TIIE de Fondeo that is called in Spanish. It will be the funding TIIE or funding rate that we changed the index at because central bank changed the regulation. Say that it will be MXN 118 billion, as of March, out of the MXN 181 billion. If you help me doing the math. 65% of the loan book that is being repriced after every movement of the rate. If we expect that, we expect two more reductions this year, we should see that portion of the balance to reduce basically in that amount. Yeah. Perfect. Very clear. On the funding side, I know time deposit should start to reprice and relieve some of the funding. We did see a shift toward time deposits this quarter. Could you help us reconcile these two dynamics? I mean, what is driving this mix shift, and to what extent could it offset the benefit from repricing? Yes. On the funding side. Let me do quickly. Is 109 plus. I will do the math to give you the percentage. [10 and]. Is around 63% that should reprice, but it doesn't reprice fully because a part is indexed to TIIE. That part, like 30% is it fully repriced, but it take longer. The time deposits that are indexed to cetes is moving slowly and it's not indexed. It is a percentage of. That's the reason of the difference between the balancing. The other part, the other MXN 60 billion of [cheques], well, MXN 80 billion of [cheques] as of March, that doesn't reprice at all. Perfect. Very clear. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Tejk iran. Hi. Thank you for the opportunity. I had two questions. I'm sorry if you had mentioned this before, but I couldn't. I wanted to understand, there is this line in your fee income called other fee income, other fees, which was MXN 133 million in 1Q 2025, MXN 160 million in 4Q, and MXN 120 million today. What sits in this line, and why did it decline 10% YoY? I have another question on corporate spreads, but maybe I'll take it after this. Yeah. Uh, uh- Sorry, I'm referring to the other fees line in the page seven of your quarterly report. Yes. Yes. Oh, you say page seven. Seven. Sorry, just to understand well, you are referring to the other income? Yes, yes. In other income, there is a line called other fees in the fee income breakdown, which went down 10% year-on-year, and it is MXN 120 million in first quarter of 2026. I wanted to understand what is sitting in that other fees line and the reason for the 10% decline. Yes. Yes, just one second. Okay. Okay. What is included there is basically some commissions for credit card operations. That is the one that is showing the reduction. Also, just for transparency, what is there is the appraisals. We charge a fee for appraisals. We have the mutual funds that we sell, we have also a commission. There are the three largest, and also we have letters of credit. Credit We have a reduction in letters of credit and also on the credit card. On the credit card, more than volume, is all the other transactions, commissions that we charge the customers, that are variable, mainly the non-payment, or what we call in Spanish, for collection. As we have improved the quality of the portfolio, mainly in Hey, there is not that amount being collected quarter- on- quarter. Also, on the letters of credit is very variable. It depends on the. It's not a line of business that is very large, but it impacts in this line. Thank you. Thank you, Enrique, for the detailed answer. just a quick question on the yield side as well. On your business loans, is interest rate decline the only reason for reduction in interest income, or has there been any impact on the spreads you charged on TIIE also? It's mainly the that is indexed to the TIIE, and our pricing has not changed. There is some pressure in the Wholesale Business in some specific segments. It's not all across. It's mainly the base rate rather than the margin above that rate. Understood. Thank you very much. Our next question comes from Juan Dominguez. Hello. Hi, guys. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Perfect We hear you. Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. I actually have a follow-up from the previous question about spreads. You mentioned that pricing has not changed, but you saw some pressure in some segments in wholesale. Can you provide more details on where are you seeing pressures? Also, if you see any sort of irrationality in the market at this point. I have a second question related to your insurance business. You had actually a pretty good quarter in terms of insurance revenue growth. I wonder if there are or if this is something recurring or you guys, I don't know, had something that we should think as extraordinary during the quarter. Yes. In terms of insurance, we have some annual payments that happened in the first quarter and in the last quarter. It is recurrent in terms that is every year we do this calculation with our two partners, Quálitas and Chubb, and if we reach some goals or we improve the sinistrality, I don't know if that is the right word, but the recoveries, we receive a bonus. I was just trying to be clear that it's recurrent, but it's not every month. It's seasonal. It's seasonal, yeah. Perfect. The largest ones are paid in the first quarter and in the last quarter in, because it depends on the year, on the month that is renovated the whole premium. Understood In terms of the other question was. Threat to pricing, right? As you mentioned, that spread seems also. The pressure. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, the pressure on price. It's basically on large tickets, mainly on the construction site. We have designed a product. We have a large portfolio for bridge loans to home builders, where the project is going on, the risk is higher, the rate is higher. Once the project is finished and is rented or leased, we proactively reduce the rate because we were seeing that the large banks is the portfolio where they were pressuring more to get the customers with them. We don't see as irrational, it's just that once whatever we are financing is finished and then it's leased, the risk is different. That's the main reason we don't see any competitor being irrational. We are monitoring Banamex that has been claiming publicly that they are back. Mm-hmm. We haven't yet seen any irrational behavior. Perfect. Thank you so much. Welcome. Our next question comes from Federico Galassi. Hi, guys. Thank you for the opportunity to make some questions. The first one, I will continue with the Wholesale Business and the meaning, Enrique. The question is, you have a huge growth in time deposit in the quarter-over-quarter, and in part of that you funding the growth in loans. The two question is there any change in the case of time deposits? The second question is, you mentioned that they are not offering cheaper assets, cheaper loans, do you increase the assets in the lower pricing sectors as a corporate or something like that? That is part of the explanation. It's part, but it's not a big part. I don't know if we do the disclose here and there. The conference call. In the conference call. Give me a second, Federico. Yes. Uh- I'm checking the slide 10 in your presentation, Wholesale Business. Wholesale business. No, it's all included. Well, out of that growth of MXN 7 billion between fourth quarter and first quarter, like MXN 3 billion is in corporates and governments. As we disclosed, we entered the syndicate with many other banks that is coordinated by the government to fund Pemex, I guess. It's a large syndicated loan. We don't do individual government loans. We do some corporates, and that is part of the explanation in this growth. It's not what is driving, as I mentioned, is more than out of these MXN 139 billion, a large proportion is indexed to TIIE. Okay, perfect. Thank you, Enrique. The second question, and you mentioned the pipeline, and you believe that you can achieve this high single digit in loans growth. When we see, we have only the information of IGAE in February was negative. This Thursday, we will have the GDP for at least for the first quarter, looks like the activity continue to be weak. Your pipeline is When you see your pipeline, is for the second quarter, is for the second part of the year? I'm trying to understand how is the visibility for the second part of the year. The actual pipeline, we only have visibility for the next three to four months. That is what is already in our, either the CRM as prospects or in the credit system in the process of the how you say, the BPM process manager. Say that we believe that if we see this good pipeline for the next four months and nothing has changed in terms of the USMCA agreement, should be better. To be very transparent, we don't have specific projects for the second half. It's month to month that we are monitoring. Okay. Thank you. The last one, Enrique, if I may. When I see the quality of the portfolio, non-performing provisions, et cetera, looks like everything is under control. Do you see or have your worry for any sector, or region on the country? That is the last question. No. Nor as a sector, nor as a region. In the wholesale, as we have been mentioning, are specific cases that affects. In medium-sized businesses, well, I mentioned already one. Yes, we have one worry that is agricultural. I mentioned in the last question. We don't see still any deterioration significant, but we know that the agribusiness customers are having difficult times to pay. They say that is mainly because the exchange rate and the price they have already negotiated. That's the only one. We don't have that much exposition. I cannot say that is the whole segment, but it's the only one where we have seen some medium-size businesses or loans that are having problems. Are loans around MXN 20 million-MXN 30 million, that are being renegotiated, restructured, and everything that is, in our hands to help these customers. Perfect, Enrique. Thank you so much. Very clear, as usual. Thank you, Federico.
