NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020,

PRESENTED ON A COMPARATIVE BASIS (Amounts stated in Argentine Pesos - Note 2.1.1)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Grupo Clarín is a holding company that operates in the Media industry. Its operating income and cash flows derive from the operations of its subsidiaries in which it participates directly or indirectly.

Note 1 to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019 details the business segments in which Grupo Clarín is engaged through its subsidiaries.

NOTE 2 - BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.1 Basis for the preparation

Through General Resolutions No. 562/09 and No. 576/10, the Argentine Securities Commission ("CNV", for its Spanish acronym) provided for the application of Technical Resolutions ("TR") No. 26 and No. 29 issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences ("FACPCE", for its Spanish acronym), which adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") for entities subject to the public offering regime governed by Law No. 26,831, whether on account of their equity or their notes, or which have requested authorization to be subject to such regime. The FACPCE issues Adoption Communications in order to implement IASB resolutions in Argentina.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, presented on a comparative basis, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Some additional matters were included as required by the Argentine General Associations Law and/or CNV regulations, including the supplementary information provided by the last paragraph of Section 1, Chapter III, Title IV of General Resolution No. 622/13. That information is included in the Notes to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, as provided by IFRS. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Company expects to adopt in its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The accounting policies are based on the IFRS issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC, which the Company expects will be applicable at such date.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on restated historical cost, as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, except for the valuation of financial instruments. In general, the historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration granted in exchange for the assets.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2019 prepared under IFRS.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

Certain figures reported in the financial statements presented on a comparative basis were reclassified in order to maintain the consistency in the disclosure of the figures corresponding to this period.

The attached consolidated information, approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on December 4, 2020, is presented in Argentine Pesos ($), the Argentine legal tender, and arises from accounting records kept by Grupo Clarín S.A. and its subsidiaries.

2.1.1 Application of IAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies)

International Accounting Standard 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29") requires that the financial statements of an entity that reports in the currency of a highly inflationary economy shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting year/period, regardless of whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach. To this end, in general terms, the inflation rate must be computed in the non-monetary items as from the acquisition date or the revaluation date, as applicable. These requirements also comprise the comparative information of the financial statements.

To determine the existence of a highly inflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to consider, including a cumulative inflation rate over three years that is close to or exceeds 100%. This is why, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentine economy should be considered as a highly inflationary economy as from July 1, 2018.

In addition, Law No. 27,468, published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018, amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, providing that the repeal of all the laws and regulations that establish or authorize price indexation, currency restatement, cost variance and any other form of restatement of debts, taxes, prices or fees related to property, works or services, does not apply to financial statements, which remain subject to Section 62 in fine of the General Associations Law No. 19,550 (as restated in 1984), as amended. In addition, it repealed Decree No. 1,269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated on the Executive Branch, through its oversight agencies, the power to set the date as from which those regulations will come into effect with respect to financial statements. On December 28, 2018, through General Resolution No. 777/2018, the CNV provided that the entities subject to the Commission's oversight must apply the method to restate annual, interim and special financial statements in constant currency, as established by IAS 29, for fiscal years ended on or after December 31, 2018. Therefore, these financial statements have been restated in constant currency as of September 30, 2020.

According to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity that reports in the currency of a highly inflationary economy shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the financial statements.

The inflation adjustment was calculated taking into consideration the indexes established by the FACPCE based on the price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC, for its Spanish acronym). The following table shows the evolution of those indexes over the last two fiscal years and as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, according to official statistics (INDEC) in accordance with the guidelines described under Resolution No. 539/18:

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

In applying the accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has to make judgments and prepare accounting estimates of the value of the assets and liabilities that may not be obtained otherwise. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other pertinent factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The underlying estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The effects of the reviews of accounting estimates are recognized for the period in which estimates are reviewed.

The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2019, which are disclosed in Note 3 to such annual consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Note 4 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 details the Company's business segments and the considerations taken into account by the Company to assess the performance of those segments: the adjusted EBITDA.

The following information for the nine-month periods as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 was prepared in accordance with IFRS, except for the non-application of IAS 29, due to the fact that the Board of Directors analyzes the information in historical currency for the business segments identified by the Company.

NOTE 6 - PROVISIONS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

The following are the main contingent situations affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the significant changes, if any, that took place after the issue of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, in connection with the rest of the contingent situations described in those financial statements.

6.1 Claims and Disputes with Governmental Agencies

  1. In connection with the decisions made at the Company's Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on
    April 28, 2011, on September 1, 2011 the Company was served notice of an injunction issued in re "National Social Security Administration v. Grupo Clarín S.A. re ordinary proceeding" whereby the Company may not in any way dispose, in part or in whole, of the $ 387,028,756 in historical currency as of that date recorded under the retained earnings account, other than to distribute dividends to the shareholders.
    On the same date, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social
    Security Administration requesting the nullity of the decision made on item 7 (Appropriation of Retained
    Earnings) of the agenda of the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 22, 2010. On December 2, 2019, a decision was issued admitting the claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration and declaring the nullification of the decision made on item 7 (Appropriation of Retained Earnings) of the agenda of said Shareholders' Meeting, at which the shareholders had resolved that the profits for the year 2009, of $ 290,146,539 in historical currency as of that date, be appropriated as follows: (i) $ 14,507,327 to the Legal Reserve and (ii) $ 275,639,212 to Retained Earnings. On the same date, the Company filed an appeal against such decision. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company submitted grounds for its appeal, which is still pending.
    On November 1, 2011, the CNV issued Resolution No. 593, which provides that at shareholders' meetings in which financial statements are considered shareholders must expressly decide to, either distribute as dividends any retained earnings that are not subject to distribution restrictions and that may be disposed of pursuant to applicable law or capitalize such retained earnings and issue shares, or appropriate them to set up reserves other than legal reserves, or a combination of the above.
    On July 12, 2013 the Company was served notice of Resolution No. 17,131; dated as of July 11, 2013 whereby the CNV declared that the administrative effects of the decisions adopted at the Annual General
    Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2013 were irregular and ineffective, based on allegations that are absolutely false and irrelevant. According to the Company and its legal advisors, Resolution No. 17,131 is, among other things, null and void, because it lacks sufficient grounds and its enactment is a clear abuse of authority and a further step in the National Government's attempt to intervene in the Company. On October 11, 2013 Chamber No. V of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative Matters issued an injunction in re "Grupo Clarín S.A. v. CNV - Resol No. 17,131/13 (File 737/13)" File No.
    29,563/2013, whereby it suspended the effects of Resolution No. 17,131/2013 dated July 11, 2013 which had rendered irregular and with no effect for administrative purposes the Company's Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2013. As of the date of these financial statements, the injunction is still in effect.
    In August 2013, the Company was served notice of a nullification claim brought by Argentina's National
    Social Security Administration relating to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 28, 2011 whereby it requested the nullity of all the decisions made at such meeting and, as a default argument, the nullity of the decisions made on points 2, 4 and 7 of that meeting's agenda, as well as the nullity of the decisions made at the Extraordinary Meetings of Class A, B and A and B Shareholders. As of the date of these financial statements, the proceeding was in the discovery stage.

On September 17, 2013, the Company was served notice of a nullification claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration relating to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 26, 2012 whereby it requested the nullity of all the decisions made at such meeting and, as a default argument, the nullity of the decisions made on points 8 and 4 of that meeting's agenda, as well as the nullity of the decisions made at the Extraordinary Meetings of Class A, B and A and B Shareholders. As of the date of these financial statements, the proceeding was in the discovery stage.

On March 21, 2014, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration in re "National Social Security Administration v. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding" File No. 74,429, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 34. This claim seeks to nullify and challenge the corporate decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2013 and those made at the Board of Directors' Meeting held on April 26, 2013. As of the date of these financial statements, discovery proceedings have been initiated and evidence is being produced.

On September 16, 2014, the Company received a communication from its controlling shareholder, GC Dominio S.A., whereby that company informed that it had been summoned to court as a third party in re "National Social Security Administration v. Grupo Clarín S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding", pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 33. As of the date of these financial statements and as informed by GC Dominio S.A., that company has filed a response to the above-mentioned claim and the proceeding is in the discovery stage.

On November 10, 2016, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration in re "National Government - Ministry of Economy and Finance v. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding" File -22,658/2015, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 34. This claim seeks to nullify and challenge the corporate decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 28, 2015. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has filed a response, produced evidence and made its final statement.

On April 3, 2017, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration in re "National Government - Ministry of Economy and Finance v. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding" File -22,832/2014, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 34. This claim seeks to nullify and challenge the corporate decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 29, 2014. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has filed a response, produced evidence and made its final statement.

According to the Company and its legal advisors, the outstanding claims requesting the nullification of the Shareholders' Meetings have no legal grounds. Therefore, they believe that the Company will not have to face adverse consequences in this regard.

  1. In February 2016, Radio Mitre was served notice of a claim seeking to extend to Radio Mitre the bankruptcy of one of its subsidiaries, Cadena País Producciones Publicitarias S.A., in connection with a case pending before one of the National Courts of First Instance on Commercial Matters of the City of Buenos Aires. On April 30, 2020, the court of first instance dismissed the claim brought against Radio Mitre and Cadena País Producciones Publicitarias S.A. The claimant filed an appeal against such decision. Our legal advisors believe that Radio Mitre has sufficient legal and factual grounds to support its position contrary to that claim and, therefore, they do not foresee any adverse effects that may be derived from this situation.

The book value of receivables with estimated collection periods that extend through time, is measured considering the estimated collection period, the time value of money and the specific risks of the transaction at the time of measurement and, therefore, such book value approximates their fair value.

Non-current investments classified as loans and receivables have been measured at amortized cost, and their book value approximates their fair value.

The fair value of non-current financial liabilities (Level 2) is measured based on the future cash flows of those liabilities, discounted at a representative market rate available to Grupo Clarín for liabilities with similar terms (currency and remaining term) prevailing at the time of measurement.

With respect to public tender offers, under the previous regime, the offeror was obliged to formulate a "fair" price to be set by weighing the results of different company valuation methods, with a minimum floor related to the average market price for the six-month period immediately preceding the date of the agreement. Pursuant to the amendments introduced by Law No. 27,440 to the Capital Markets Law, the obligation is objective and consists in offering the higher of two existing prices: the price paid or agreed by the offeror during the 12 months immediately preceding the first day of the public tender offer period, and the average price of the securities subject to the offer during the semester immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the transaction under which the change of control is agreed upon.

On December 28, 2018, General Resolution No. 779/2018, whereby the CNV established the regulatory framework applicable to public tender offers, was published in the Official Gazette.

On August 20, 2013, at the request of Mr. Rubén Mario Szwarc, a minority shareholder of the Company, and by means of public deed number two hundred forty-five, the Company was served notice of the decision rendered by Chamber A of the National Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters on August 12, 2013, in re "SZWARC, Rubén Mario v. National Government and Others on injunction" File No. 011419/2013. That Chamber decided, among other things, (i) to declare the unconstitutionality of Sections 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 of Law No. 26,854, and (ii) to order the provisional, injunctive suspension of Section 20, subsection a), second part, paragraphs I and II (or 1 and 2) of Law No. 26,831 and of all laws, rules or administrative acts issued or that may be issued pursuant to such legal provisions, with respect to Grupo Clarín S.A., until the judge that is finally declared competent to render a decision on the merits assumes full jurisdiction of the case and renders a final decision relating to the injunction.

NOTE 12 - IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS

Given the magnitude of the spread of the virus called "Coronavirus" (COVID-19) at a global level, in Argentina, the National Government implemented a series of measures aimed at reducing the movement of the population, ordering the Mandatory and Preventive Social Isolation (MPSI) as from March 20, allowing the movement of only those people involved in the provision/production of essential or exempted services and products. The Government made changes to such isolation measures in different stages and may extend it as deemed necessary according to the epidemiological situation. As of the date of these interim condensed financial statements, the MPSI is still effective for certain jurisdictions, while other jurisdictions, such as the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, are currently in the stage called "Mandatory and Preventive Social Distancing" (MPSD).

During this period, the Company has carried out its activities under challenging circumstances derived from the pandemic. Even though the print media, radio and audiovisual communication services, which are the Group's main businesses, have been exempted from the MPSI, the Company has experienced or is expected to experience the following impacts:

  • A drop in advertising in the Group's media and, if the context described above continues for a long period, the levels of demand in the markets in which it operates are expected to be severely affected, mainly due to the cuts customers may make on their advertising budgets;
  • A drop in circulation, with an impact on subscriptions as from the second quarter of the year;
  • An increase in the overdue collection of receivables;
  • Television audience levels were affected by the lack of production of certain prime time content, currently suspended due to the pandemic;
  • Several difficulties that hinder our operations, such as:
  1. Those related to the logistics regarding the commute of employees, performers and journalists; o The reconfiguration of some programs due to social distancing measures;
    o The implementation of home office mainly for our back-office staff; o Strict sanitation, disinfection and prevention protocols at our offices;

  1. The incorporation of technologies required to ensure the virtual presence of talents in the production of contents.

In order to help companies mitigate the economic impacts of the pandemic, the National Government launched a series of financial aid measures. Among the companies that qualify for such financial aid, certain subsidiaries of the Company have benefited from the Emergency Assistance Program for Work and Production, whereby the National Government has assumed the burden of a portion of the wage costs and has allowed for reductions/deferment of the payment of certain employers' social security contributions.

In addition, the Group is engaged in other activities which have a smaller weight in the Group's operations taken as a whole, which were heavily affected since the MPSI entered into effect, such as the operations of Autosports, Pol-ka and Cúspide. These companies were forced to reduce or suspend most of their operations and the commercialization of their products. In the case of Pol-ka, the economic impacts have been very significant, because it has been unable to produce contents for the subsequent commercialization and, consequently, it is having difficulties in meeting its financial, commercial and labor commitments. Therefore, the continuity of its operations may be affected.

In addition, with respect to Pol-ka, at the Annual General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held in July 2020, the shareholders of that company decided to increase its equity. Within the framework of said equity increase, and since ARTEAR exercised its preemptive and accretion rights, ARTEAR subscribed 34,476,636 non-endorsable, registered common shares with nominal value of $ 1 each, entitled to one vote per share and with a premium of $10.58 per issued share of Pol-ka. At the time of exercising the preemptive and accretion rights, ARTEAR paid in 25% of the value of the shares subscribed, and the remaining 75% shall be paid in within a term of two years, pursuant to the terms of the subscription and issuance of the new shares. As of September 30, 2020, ARTEAR paid in approximately $ 154.8 million and, subsequent to period-end, the amount of $ 140 million. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the amount $ 104.4 million has still not been paid in.

Hence, ARTEAR holds a 91.3% interest in the capital stock and votes of Pol-ka. As of the date of these interim financial statements, the corresponding shares have still not been issued.

In accordance with the guidelines of IAS 36, the Company's Management has assessed whether there was any indication of impairment of any asset or group of assets. Based on our estimates, as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the current and expected drop in the activities of the industries in which some of the Group's subsidiaries operate, mainly the print and audiovisual production industries, is an indicator of impairment. Therefore, as of September 30, 2020, the Company has reestimated the recoverable value of its fixed assets.

The recoverable amount of each CGU has been determined as per its value in use, calculated based on operating cash flows estimated in the financial budgets, which comprise a period ranging from one to three years. Cash flows not included in those periods are projected using a growth rate, assessed based on statistical data and historical indicators of Argentina, which does not exceed the long-term average growth of each business.

The gross margin used in each case for the calculation of the value in use allocated to each CGU arises from budgets prepared by each business for the period under consideration, which are in line with the historical data and the expectations regarding market development and evolution of the respective businesses.

The discount rate used in each case for the calculation of the value in use allocated to each CGU takes into account the risk-free rate, the country risk premium and the premium for risks specific to each business, and the indebtedness structure of each CGU. The rates used in the assessment show an average increase of 100 basic points against those used in the annual closing as of December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2020, as a result of the recoverability assessment described above, the Company recognized impairment losses of 100% in the goodwill held by ARTEAR in Telecor, Telba and Pol-Ka for approximately $ 1,091 million, in constant currency as of such date, together with the impairment of certain assets of the latter.

The ultimate effects of COVID-19 and its impact on the global and local economy are unknown and impossible to be reasonably predicted. However, even though the Company has suffered and is expected to suffer short term effects, it does not expect that they will affect the continuity of the Group's businesses.

The Board of Directors is closely monitoring the evolution of the situation and taking the necessary measures available to preserve the safety and health of the employees and the Company's activities.

NOTE 13 - TAX REFORM IN ARGENTINA

In connection with Note 20 to the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, Law No. 27,430 and its amending Law No. 27,468 provide that, effective as from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the inflation adjustment procedure set out in Title VI of the income tax law shall be applicable in fiscal years in which the variation of IPC is higher than 55%, 30% and 15% for fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, the variation of the IPC was 22.3%. Therefore, the Company has calculated the income tax charge taking into consideration the inflation adjustment for tax purposes.

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  1. Within the framework of the Emergency Assistance Program for Work and Production mentioned in Note 12, on October 1, 2020, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. granted UNIR a loan at a subsidized rate for $ 5 million to pay salaries. Such loan will accrue interest at an annual fixed rate of 15%, payable in 12 equal consecutive monthly installments. The first installment of principal and interest is due on February 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As of September 30, 2020

1. COMPANY ACTIVITIES

Grupo Clarín is the most prominent and diversified media group in Argentina and one of the most important in the Spanish-speaking world. It has presence in the printed media, radio, broadcast and cable television, audiovisual content production, the printing industry and Internet. Its leadership in the different media is a competitive advantage that enables Grupo Clarín to generate significant synergies and expand into new markets. Its activities are grouped into three main segments: Printing and Publishing, Broadcasting and Programming and Other.

Among the main activities carried out during the period, the following were the most significant:

In the Printing and Publishing segment, Clarín continues to consolidate its digital subscription service and to add tools to serve the different readers segments in order to continue to offer our readers professional, investigative and specialized journalism, which is what has identified us for 75 years. In addition, the Company continued to publish its traditional newspapers and magazines, which were affected by the pandemic in terms of volumes sold. In addition, collectible products were adapted, both in terms of content and distribution method, in order to continue to generate high added-value and to meet the current needs of the readers in the diverse demographic groups.

In the Broadcasting and Programming Segment, as a consequence of the mandatory isolation measures derived from the pandemic, at "El trece", the airing of the fiction "Separadas" was suspended, the launch of Showmatch was postponed for next year and the single episodes produced by Polka were canceled. This change in the programming has affected the performance of "El trece", which was ranked second in terms of audience share. During prime time, El trece launched the show "Cantando 2020", continued airing "Bienvenidos a Bordo", an entertainment show hosted by Guido Kaczka, and the newscast "Telenoche". In the afternoon, El Trece airs "100 argentinos dicen", an entertainment show hosted by Darío Barassi, "Mamuschka", hosted by Mariana Fabiani, and the 10th season of "El gran premio de la cocina", with good audience ratings. The news signals showed good audience levels, among them, TN had a high performance and led audience ratings during most of the period. Despite the quarantine, Radio Mitre did not make changes to its programming and continues to lead audience ratings, both in AM and FM. Mitre AM 790 focuses its programming on strong journalistic productions supported by the high credibility and professionalism of its journalists. In addition, the following programs stood out: "Cada Mañana", hosted by Marcelo Longobardi, and "Lanata sin Filtro", hosted by Jorge Lanata. Radio Mitre's programming aired Mondays through Fridays, as well as during weekends, allowed it to lead audience ratings with 40 points of share. In addition, "La 100" continues to deliver an outstanding performance. It bases its formula on an ideal combination of music and constant innovation, backed by famous artists, such as Santiago del Moro and Guido Kaczka. "La 100" maintained its leadership with an average of 18 points, with historic record highs for the last ten years.

Grupo Clarín continues to be subject to the public offering regime in the BCBA and in the LSE.

The year 2020 began in an unexpected way for the society as a whole, not only in Argentina, but also in the rest of the world. Given the magnitude of the spread of the virus called COVID-19 just like the governments around the world, in Argentina, the National Government ordered strong social isolation measures aimed at reducing the movement of the population, allowing the movement of only those people involved in the provision/production of essential services and products. The Government made changes to these isolation measures depending on the evolution of the epidemiological situation in different regions of Argentina, with progress and setbacks in the levels of restriction on the movement of people and in the economic activities allowed by the Government.

As a consequence of the pandemic and after several months of isolation, the macroeconomic variables continued to deteriorate, coupled with a deep economic slowdown and recession of the national economy. The health emergency situation is expected to continue having a severe impact on the economic situation of the country, which had already showed difficulties by the end of 2019.

Even though the print media, radio and audiovisual communication services, which are the Company's main businesses have been exempted from the MPSI, and that the audience levels have remained stable, if this health emergency situation continues for a long period, the levels of demand in the markets in which it operates are expected to be severely affected, mainly due to the cuts advertisers may make on their advertising budgets.

The ultimate effects of COVID-19 and its impact on the global and local economy are still unknown. Therefore, as of the date of these financial statements, the Company cannot quantify the effects it will have on its business and on the results of the Company, although a further deterioration of the macroeconomic variables and of the activities as a whole is expected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grupo Clarín seeks to maintain its positioning in the production of contents, strengthening its presence in the traditional media, with a growing focus on digital media. In addition, Grupo Clarín seeks to leverage its positioning and access to opportunities for growth in the Argentine and regional industry to strengthen and develop its current businesses.

The Company will continue to focus on the core processes that allow for a sustainable and efficient growth from different perspectives: financial structure, management control, business strategy, human resources, innovation and corporate social responsibility. Lastly, Grupo Clarín remains committed to informing with independence, to reaching all sectors of society and to supporting the quality and credibility values of its media.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders, President and Directors of

Grupo Clarín S.A.

Legal domicile: Piedras 1743

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

CUIT No 30-70700173-5

Introduction

We have reviewed the attached interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. and its controlled subsidiaries (the "Company") which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position at September 30, 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the nine-month and three-month periods ended at September 30, 2020 and the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period ended on that date and selected explanatory notes.

The balances and other information corresponding to fiscal year 2019 and its interim periods are an integral part of the above-mentioned financial statements and, therefore, should be considered in relation to those financial statements.

Management's responsibility

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its Spanish acronym) as professional accounting standards and incorporated by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV, for its Spanish acronym) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and, therefore, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).

Scope of our review

Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established by International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as review standard in Argentina by Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE as it was approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries to the Company´s personnel responsible for preparing the information included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and applying analytical and other review procedures. The scope of this review is substantially less than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, and consequently, a review does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated financial position, consolidated comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows of the Company.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Report on compliance with current regulations

In accordance with current regulations, in respect to Grupo Clarín S.A., we report that:

  1. the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. have been transcribed to the "Inventory and Balance Sheet" book and comply with the General Associations
    Law and pertinent resolutions of the Argentine Securities Commission, as regards those matters that are within our competence;
  2. the interim condensed separate financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. arise from accounting records kept in all formal respects in conformity with legal provisions;
  3. we have read the supplementary financial information, on which, as regards those matters that are within our competence, we have no observations to make;
  4. at September 30, 2020, the debt accrued in favor of the (Argentine) Integrated Social Security System of Grupo Clarín S.A. according to the Company's accounting records and calculations amounted to $ 3,259,089, none of which was claimable at that date.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020,

PRESENTED ON A COMPARATIVE BASIS (Amounts stated in Argentine Pesos - Note 2.1.1)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Grupo Clarín is a holding company that operates in the Media industry. Its operating income and cash flows derive from the operations of its subsidiaries in which it participates directly or indirectly.

The operations of its subsidiaries include newspaper and other printing, publishing and advertising activities, broadcast television, radio operations and television content production, on-line and new media services, and other media related activities. A substantial portion of its revenues is generated in Argentina.

NOTE 2 - BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.1 Basis for the preparation

Through General Resolutions No. 562/09 and No. 576/10, the Argentine Securities Commission ("CNV", for its Spanish acronym) provided for the application of Technical Resolutions ("TR") No. 26 and No. 29 issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences ("FACPCE", for its Spanish acronym), which adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") for entities subject to the public offering regime governed by Law No. 26,831, whether on account of their equity or their notes, or which have requested authorization to be subject to such regime. The FACPCE issues Adoption Communications in order to implement IASB resolutions in Argentina.

Technical Resolution No. 43 "Amendment of Technical Resolution No. 26", effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, sets out that separate financial statements shall be prepared fully in accordance with IFRS without applying any changes, i.e. complying with the full contents of those standards as issued by the IASB and with the mandatory or guiding provisions established by IASB in each document. That Resolution provides that for its disclosure in separate financial statements of entities that are required to present consolidated financial statements, the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be valued under the equity method as set out by IFRS.

In preparing these interim condensed separate financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, presented on a comparative basis, the Company has followed the guidelines provided by TR 43, and, therefore, these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Certain additional matters were included as required by the Argentine General Associations Law and/or CNV regulations, including the supplementary information provided under the last paragraph of Section 1, Chapter III, Title IV of General Resolution No. 622/13. That information is included in the Notes to these separate financial statements, as provided under IFRS and CNV rules.

The interim condensed separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Company expects to adopt in its annual separate financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The accounting policies are based on the IFRS issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC, which the Company expects will be applicable at such date.

The financial statements have been prepared based on the restated historical cost, as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, except for the measurement at fair value of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. In general, the historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration granted in exchange for the assets.

These interim condensed separate financial statements should be read together with the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2019 prepared under IFRS.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed separate financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

Certain figures reported in the financial statements presented on a comparative basis were reclassified in order to maintain the consistency in the disclosure of the figures corresponding to this period.

The attached information, approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on December 4, 2020, is presented in Argentine Pesos ($), the Argentine legal tender, and arises from accounting records kept by Grupo Clarín S.A.

2.1.1 Application of IAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies)

International Accounting Standard 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29") requires that the financial statements of an entity that reports in the currency of a highly inflationary economy shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting year/period, regardless of whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach. To this end, in general terms, the inflation rate must be computed in the non-monetary items as from the acquisition date or the revaluation date, as applicable. These requirements also comprise the comparative information of the financial statements.

To determine the existence of a highly inflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to consider, including a cumulative inflation rate over three years that is close to or exceeds 100%. This is why, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentine economy should be considered as a highly inflationary economy as from July 1, 2018.

In addition, Law No. 27,468, published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018, amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, providing that the repeal of all the laws and regulations that establish or authorize price indexation, currency restatement, cost variance and any other form of restatement of debts, taxes, prices or fees related to property, works or services, does not apply to financial statements, which remain subject to Section 62 in fine of the General Associations Law No. 19,550 (as restated in 1984), as amended. In addition, it repealed Decree No. 1,269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated on the Executive Branch, through its oversight agencies, the power to set the date as from which those regulations will come into effect with respect to financial statements. On December 28, 2018, through General Resolution No. 777/2018, the CNV provided that the entities subject to the Commission's oversight must apply the method to restate annual, interim and special financial statements in constant currency, as established by IAS 29, for fiscal years ended on or after December 31, 2018. Therefore, these financial statements have been restated in constant currency as of September 30, 2020.

According to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity that reports in the currency of a highly inflationary economy shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the financial statements.

The inflation adjustment was calculated taking into consideration the indexes established by the FACPCE based on the price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC, for its Spanish acronym). The following table shows the evolution of those indexes over the last two fiscal years and as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, according to official statistics (INDEC) in accordance with the guidelines described under Resolution No. 539/18:

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

In applying the accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed separate financial statements, the Company has to make judgments and prepare accounting estimates of the value of the assets and liabilities that may not be obtained otherwise. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other pertinent factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The underlying estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The effects of the reviews of accounting estimates are recognized for the period in which estimates are reviewed.

The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these interim condensed separate financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2019, which are disclosed in Note 3 to such annual separate financial statements.

NOTE 8 - PROVISIONS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

The following are the main contingent situations affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the significant changes, if any, that took place after the issue of the Company's separate financial statements as of December 31, 2019, in connection with the rest of the contingent situations described in those financial statements.

8.1 Claims and Disputes with Governmental Agencies

  1. In connection with the decisions made at the Company's Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on
    April 28, 2011, on September 1, 2011 the Company was served notice of an injunction issued in re "National Social Security Administration v. Grupo Clarín S.A. re ordinary proceeding" whereby the Company may not in any way dispose, in part or in whole, of the $ 387,028,756 in historical currency as of that date recorded under the retained earnings account, other than to distribute dividends to the shareholders.
    On the same date, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration requesting the nullity of the decision made on item 7 (Appropriation of Retained
    Earnings) of the agenda of the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 22, 2010. On
    December 2, 2019, a decision was issued admitting the claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration and declaring the nullification of the decision made on item 7 (Appropriation of
    Retained Earnings) of the agenda of said Shareholders' Meeting, at which the shareholders had resolved that the profits for the year 2009, of $ 290,146,539 in historical currency as of that date, be appropriated as follows: (i) $ 14,507,327 to the Legal Reserve and (ii) $ 275,639,212 to Retained Earnings. On the same date, the Company filed an appeal against such decision. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company submitted grounds for its appeal, which is still pending.
    On November 1, 2011, the CNV issued Resolution No. 593, which provides that at shareholders' meetings in which financial statements are considered shareholders must expressly decide to, either distribute as dividends any retained earnings that are not subject to distribution restrictions and that may be disposed of pursuant to applicable law or capitalize such retained earnings and issue shares, or appropriate them to set up reserves other than legal reserves, or a combination of the above.
    On July 12, 2013 the Company was served notice of Resolution No. 17,131; dated as of July 11, 2013 whereby the CNV declared that the administrative effects of the decisions adopted at the Annual General
    Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2013 were irregular and ineffective, based on allegations that are absolutely false and irrelevant. According to the Company and its legal advisors, Resolution No. 17,131 is, among other things, null and void, because it lacks sufficient grounds and its enactment is a clear abuse of authority and a further step in the National Government's attempt to intervene in the Company. On October 11, 2013 Chamber No. V of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative Matters issued an injunction in re "Grupo Clarín S.A. v. CNV - Resol No. 17,131/13 (File 737/13)" File No.
    29,563/2013, whereby it suspended the effects of Resolution No. 17,131/2013 dated July 11, 2013 which had rendered irregular and with no effect for administrative purposes the Company's Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2013. As of the date of these financial statements, the injunction is still in effect.
    In August 2013, the Company was served notice of a nullification claim brought by Argentina's National
    Social Security Administration relating to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 28, 2011 whereby it requested the nullity of all the decisions made at such meeting and, as a default argument, the nullity of the decisions made on points 2, 4 and 7 of that meeting's agenda, as well as the nullity of the decisions made at the Extraordinary Meetings of Class A, B and A and B Shareholders. As of the date of these financial statements, the proceeding was in the discovery stage.

As of the date of these financial statements, the proceeding was in the discovery stage.

On March 21, 2014, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration in re "National Social Security Administration v.

This claim seeks to nullify and challenge the corporate decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2013 and those made at the Board of Directors' Meeting held on April 26, 2013. As of the date of these financial statements, discovery proceedings have been initiated and evidence is being produced.

On September 16, 2014, the Company received a communication from its controlling shareholder, GC Dominio S.A., whereby that company informed that it had been summoned to court as a third party in re "National Social Security Administration v. Grupo Clarín S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding", pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 33. As of the date of these financial statements and as informed by GC Dominio S.A., that company has filed a response to the above-mentioned claim and the proceeding is in the discovery stage.

On November 10, 2016, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration in re "National Government - Ministry of Economy and Finance v. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding" File -22,658/2015, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 34. This claim seeks to nullify and challenge the corporate decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 28, 2015. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has filed a response, produced evidence and made its final statement.

On April 3, 2017, the Company was served notice of a claim brought by Argentina's National Social Security Administration in re "National Government - Ministry of Economy and Finance v. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. on Ordinary Proceeding" File -22,832/2014, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 17, Clerk's Office No. 34. This claim seeks to nullify and challenge the corporate decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 29, 2014. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has filed a response, produced evidence and made its final statement.

According to the Company and its legal advisors, the outstanding claims requesting the nullification of the Shareholders' Meetings have no legal grounds. Therefore, they believe that the Company will not have to face adverse consequences in this regard.

Productive Financing Law

On May 11, 2018, Productive Financing Law No. 27,440 was published in the Official Gazette. This law introduced several amendments to the Capital Markets Law No. 26,831 regarding the extent of the powers of the CNV; the exercise of preemptive rights on shares offered through public offering in the case of capital increases; private placements; public tender offers; the jurisdiction of the federal commercial courts of appeals to review the resolutions issued or sanctions imposed by the CNV, among other amendments.

With respect to public tender offers, under the previous regime, the offeror was obliged to formulate a "fair" price to be set by weighing the results of different company valuation methods, with a minimum floor related to the average market price for the six-month period immediately preceding the date of the agreement. Pursuant to the amendments introduced by Law No. 27,440 to the Capital Markets Law, the obligation is objective and consists in offering the higher of two existing prices: the price paid or agreed by the offeror during the 12 months immediately preceding the first day of the public tender offer period, and the average price of the securities subject to the offer during the semester immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the transaction under which the change of control is agreed upon.

On December 28, 2018, General Resolution No. 779/2018, whereby the CNV established the regulatory framework applicable to public tender offers, was published in the Official Gazette.

On August 20, 2013, at the request of Mr. Rubén Mario Szwarc, a minority shareholder of the Company, and by means of public deed number two hundred forty-five, the Company was served notice of the decision rendered by Chamber A of the National Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters on August 12, 2013, in re "SZWARC, Rubén Mario v. National Government and Others on injunction" File No. 011419/2013. That Chamber decided, among other things, (i) to declare the unconstitutionality of Sections 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 of Law No. 26,854, and (ii) to order the provisional, injunctive suspension of Section 20, subsection a), second part, paragraphs I and II (or 1 and 2) of Law No. 26,831 and of all laws, rules or administrative acts issued or that may be issued pursuant to such legal provisions, with respect to Grupo Clarín S.A., until the judge that is finally declared competent to render a decision on the merits assumes full jurisdiction of the case and renders a final decision relating to the injunction.

GRUPO CLARÍN S.A.

Registration number with the IGJ: 1,669,734

On April 27, 2017, the IGJ registered the Corporate Reorganization Transaction which consisted in the partial spin-off of the Company for the creation of a new company called Cablevisión Holding S.A. As a result of the Spin-off of Grupo Clarín, its equity was reduced pro rata and the Company's Class A, Class B and Class C shares were canceled in exchange for a set of shares of the same class and with substantially the same rights distributed by Cablevisión Holding.

Consequently, the Company's equity was reduced, effective as of the Effective Date of the Spin-off (May 1, 2017), to $ 106,776,004, represented by:

  • 28,226,683 Class A common, registered, non-endorsable shares, with nominal value of $ 1 each and entitled to five votes per share.
  • 69,203,544 Class B book-entry common shares, with nominal value of $ 1 each and entitled to one vote per share.
  • 9,345,777 Class C common, registered, non-endorsable shares, with nominal value of $ 1 each and entitled to one vote per share.

Having obtained all of the required regulatory authorizations, on August 30, 2017, Grupo Clarín and Cablevisión Holding exchanged their shares pursuant to the exchange ratio approved by Grupo Clarín's shareholders at the time of approval of the spin-off process. As a result of the exchange of shares and payment of fractions in cash, the Company holds 1,485 treasury shares as of September 30, 2020. Subsequent to period-end, the Company sold all those shares, and does not have any treasury shares as of the date of these financial statements.

NOTE 13 - INFORMATION REQUIRED UNDER CNV RESOLUTION No. 629 - RECORD KEEPING

On August 14, 2014, the Argentine Securities Commission issued General Resolution No. 629, which provides for record keeping regulations.

The Company keeps certain supporting documentation related to the record of its operations and economic- financial events at GCGC located at Patagones 2550, City of Buenos Aires, and at the warehouse located at Ruta 36 Km 31.500, Florencio Varela, of the supplier AdeA - Administración de Archivos S.A., during the periods established by effective laws.

NOTE 14 - IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS

Given the magnitude of the spread of the virus called "Coronavirus" (COVID-19) at a global level, in Argentina, the National Government implemented a series of measures aimed at reducing the movement of the population, ordering the Mandatory and Preventive Social Isolation (MPSI) as from March 20, allowing the movement of only those people involved in the provision/production of essential or exempted services and products. The Government made changes to such isolation measures in different stages and may extend it as deemed necessary according to the epidemiological situation. As of the date of these interim condensed financial statements, the MPSI is still effective for certain jurisdictions, while other jurisdictions, such as the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, are currently in the stage called "Mandatory and Preventive Social Distancing" (MPSD).

During this period, the Company has carried out its activities under challenging circumstances derived from the pandemic. Even though the print media, radio and audiovisual communication services, which are the Group's main businesses, have been exempted from the MPSI, the Company has experienced or is expected to experience the following impacts:

  • A drop in advertising in the Group's media and, if the context described above continues for a long period, the levels of demand in the markets in which it operates are expected to be severely affected, mainly due to the cuts customers may make on their advertising budgets;
  • A drop in circulation, with an impact on subscriptions as from the second quarter of the year;
  • An increase in the overdue collection of receivables;
  • Television audience levels were affected by the lack of production of certain prime time content, currently suspended due to the pandemic;
  • Several difficulties that hinder our operations, such as:
  1. Those related to the logistics regarding the commute of employees, performers and journalists; o The reconfiguration of some programs due to social distancing measures;
    o The implementation of home office mainly for our back-office staff; o Strict sanitation, disinfection and prevention protocols at our offices;
    o The incorporation of technologies required to ensure the virtual presence of talents in the production of contents.

In order to help companies mitigate the economic impacts of the pandemic, the National Government launched a series of financial aid measures. Among the companies that qualify for such financial aid, certain subsidiaries of the Company have benefited from the Emergency Assistance Program for Work and Production, whereby the National Government has assumed the burden of a portion of the wage costs and has allowed for reductions/deferment of the payment of certain employers' social security contributions.

In addition, the Group is engaged in other activities which have a smaller weight in the Group's operations taken as a whole, which were heavily affected since the MPSI entered into effect, such as the operations of Autosports, Pol-ka and Cúspide. These companies were forced to reduce or suspend most of their operations and the commercialization of their products. In the case of Pol-ka, the economic impacts have been very significant, because it has been unable to produce contents for the subsequent commercialization and, consequently, it is having difficulties in meeting its financial, commercial and labor commitments. Therefore, the continuity of its operations may be affected.

In addition, with respect to Pol-ka, at the Annual General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held in July 2020, the shareholders of that company decided to increase its equity. Within the framework of said equity increase, and since ARTEAR exercised its preemptive and accretion rights, ARTEAR subscribed 34,476,636 non-endorsable, registered common shares with nominal value of $ 1 each, entitled to one vote per share and with a premium of $ 10.58 per issued share of Pol-ka. At the time of exercising the preemptive and accretion rights, ARTEAR paid in 25% of the value of the shares subscribed, and the remaining 75% shall be paid in within a term of two years, pursuant to the terms of the subscription and issuance of the new shares. As of September 30, 2020, ARTEAR paid in approximately $ 154.8 million and, subsequent to period-end, the amount of $ 140 million. As of the date of these interim condensed separate financial statements, the amount $ 104.4 million has still not been paid in.

Hence, ARTEAR holds a 91.3% interest in the capital stock and votes of Pol-ka. As of the date of these interim financial statements, the corresponding shares have still not been issued.

In accordance with the guidelines of IAS 36, the Company's Management has assessed whether there was any indication of impairment of any asset or group of assets. Based on our estimates, as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the current and expected drop in the activities of the industries in which some of the Group's subsidiaries operate, mainly the print and audiovisual production industries, is an indicator of impairment. Therefore, as of September 30, 2020, the Company has reestimated the recoverable value of its fixed assets.

The recoverable amount of each CGU has been determined as per its value in use, calculated based on operating cash flows estimated in the financial budgets, which comprise a period ranging from one to three years. Cash flows not included in those periods are projected using a growth rate, assessed based on statistical data and historical indicators of Argentina, which does not exceed the long-term average growth of each business.

The gross margin used in each case for the calculation of the value in use allocated to each CGU arises from budgets prepared by each business for the period under consideration, which are in line with the historical data and the expectations regarding market development and evolution of the respective businesses.

The discount rate used in each case for the calculation of the value in use allocated to each CGU takes into account the risk-free rate, the country risk premium and the premium for risks specific to each business, and the indebtedness structure of each CGU. The rates used in the assessment show an average increase of 100 basic points against those used in the annual closing as of December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2020, as a result of the recoverability assessment described above, the Company recognized impairment losses of 100% in the goodwill held by ARTEAR in Telecor, Telba and Pol-Ka for approximately $ 1,091 million, in constant currency as of such date, together with the impairment of certain assets of the latter.

The ultimate effects of COVID-19 and its impact on the global and local economy are unknown and impossible to be reasonably predicted. However, even though the Company has suffered and is expected to suffer short term effects, it does not expect that they will affect the continuity of the Group's businesses.

The Board of Directors is closely monitoring the evolution of the situation and taking the necessary measures available to preserve the safety and health of the employees and the Company's activities.

NOTE 15 - TAX REFORM IN ARGENTINA

In connection with Note 17 to the Company's annual separate financial statements as of December 31, 2019, Law No. 27,430 and its amending Law No. 27,468 provide that, effective as from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the inflation adjustment procedure set out in Title VI of the income tax law shall be applicable in fiscal years in which the variation of IPC is higher than 55%, 30% and 15% for fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, the variation of the IPC was 22.3%. Therefore, the Company has calculated the income tax charge taking into consideration the inflation adjustment for tax purposes.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders, President and Directors of

Grupo Clarín S.A.

Legal domicile: Piedras 1743

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

CUIT No 30-70700173-5

Introduction

We have reviewed the attached interim condensed separate financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. (the "Company") which comprise the separate statement of financial position at September 30, 2020, the separate statement of comprehensive income for the nine-month and three-month periods ended at September 30, 2020 and the separate statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period ended on that date and selected explanatory notes.

The balances and other information corresponding to fiscal year 2019 and its interim periods are an integral part of the above-mentioned financial statements and, therefore, should be considered in relation to those financial statements.

Management's responsibility

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its Spanish acronym) as professional accounting standards and incorporated by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV, for its Spanish acronym) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and, therefore, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim condensed separate financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).

Scope of our review

Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established by International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as review standard in Argentina by Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE as it was approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries to the Company´s personnel responsible for preparing the information included in the interim condensed separate financial statements and applying analytical and other review procedures. The scope of this review is substantially less than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, and consequently, a review does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the separate financial position, separate comprehensive income and separate cash flows of the Company.

Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L. es una firma miembro de la red global de PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (PwCIL). Cada una de las firmas es una entidad legal separada que no actúa como mandataria de PwCIL ni de cualquier otra firma miembro de la red.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the interim condensed separate financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Report on compliance with current regulations

In accordance with current regulations, in respect to Grupo Clarín S.A., we report that:

  1. the interim condensed separate financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. have been transcribed to the "Inventory and Balance Sheet" book and comply with the General Associations Law and pertinent resolutions of the Argentine Securities Commission, as regards those matters that are within our competence;
  2. the interim condensed separate financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. arise from accounting records kept in all formal respects in conformity with legal provisions;
  3. we have read the additional information to the Notes to the interim condensed separate financial statements required by Article 12°,Chapter III, Title IV of the regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission, on which, as regards those matters that are within our competence, we have no observations to make;
  4. at September 30, 2020, the debt accrued in favor of the (Argentine) Integrated Social Security
    System of Grupo Clarín S.A. according to the Company's accounting records and calculations amounted to $ 3,259,089, none of which was claimable at that date.

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE'S REPORT ON THE REVIEW

OF INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders of:

Grupo Clarín S.A.

TAX ID No. 30-70700173-5

Registered office: Piedras 1743

City of Buenos Aires

  1. INTRODUCTION

In our capacity as members of Grupo Clarín S.A.'s Supervisory Committee, pursuant to the regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV, for its Spanish acronym) and the General Rules of Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A., we have performed a review of:

  1. The attached interim condensed separate financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. comprising the separate statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020, the separate statement of comprehensive income for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2020, the separate statement of changes in equity and the separate statement of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.
  2. The attached interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. and its controlled companies comprising the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2020, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.

The balances and other information corresponding to fiscal year 2019 and its interim periods are an integral part of the financial statements mentioned above and, therefore, should be considered in relation to those financial statements.

  1. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT

The Board of Directors Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements detailed in point I. in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences ("FACPCE", for its Spanish acronym) as professional accounting standards and incorporated by the CNV to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Therefore, the Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).

  1. SCOPE OF OUR REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with effective statutory auditing standards established by the Argentine General Associations Law and by Technical Resolution No. 15 issued by the FACPCE. (amended by Technical Resolution No. 45 issued by the FACPCE). Said standards require that the review of the documents detailed in point I. be conducted in accordance with effective audit standards for the review of interim condensed financial statements; that the documents be checked for consistency with the information on corporate decisions stated in minutes and that such decisions conform to the law and the by-laws, in all formal and documentary aspects.

In order to conduct our professional work on the documents detailed in Point I., we have reviewed the work performed by the Company's external auditor, Alejandro J. Rosa, a partner of Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., who issued his reports on December 4, 2020, pursuant to International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ("ISRE 2410") about "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", which was adopted as a standard of review in Argentina through Technical Resolution No. 33 issued by the FACPCE as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of the Company's personnel engaged in the preparation of the information included in the interim condensed financial statements and applying analytical and other review procedures. The scope of this review is substantially lower than that of an audit review performed in accordance with international auditing standards and, consequently, it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that may be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Company's financial position, the comprehensive income and the cash flow position (both on a consolidated and separate basis).

We have not performed any management control and, therefore, we have not assessed the business criteria and decisions on administrative, financing, commercialization and production matters, since these issues are the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors.

IV. CONCLUSION

Based on our work, within the review scope described in point III of this report, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the financial statements mentioned in point I, paragraphs a) and b) are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

  1. REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with effective regulations, we report with respect to Grupo Clarín S.A. that:

  1. The interim condensed financial statements detailed in point I, paragraphs a) and b) comply with the provisions of the General Associations Law and the regulations concerning accounting documentation issued by the CNV, and have been transcribed to the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book.
  2. The financial statements detailed in point I paragraph a) arise from the Company's accounting records kept, in all formal aspects, in accordance with effective legislation.
  3. Furthermore, we report that in exercise of the legality control within our field of competence, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 we have applied the procedures set forth in Section 294 of the General Associations Law, as deemed necessary pursuant to the circumstances and we have no observations to make in that regard.
  4. We have read the additional information to the notes to the financial statements detailed in Section I, paragraph a) required under Article 12, Chapter III, Title IV of CNV regulations, on which, as regards those matters that are within our competence, we have no observations to make.
