1.  MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR 

Messrs. Shareholders, 

I am pleased to present the Integrated Annual Report of Grupo Clarín S.A. which  consolidates the 
reporting  on  the  Group's  economic-financial,  social,  environmental,  and  corporate  governance 
performance.  Following  best  practices  in  global  transparency,  this  Integrated  Annual  Report  was 
prepared  in  accordance  with  the  guidelines  of  the  Integrated  Reporting  Framework  and  the  GRI 
Standards. Furthermore, it reports on the progress made in fulfilling the 10 Principles of the United 
Nations Global Compact and the contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.  

In 2023, the performance of the Argentine economy was conditioned by the successive stages and 
outcomes of the  presidential elections, and the  negative collateral  effects stemming from a severe 
drought. At the beginning of 2023, the economy showed a decline in the demand for pesos, scarce 
voluntary sovereign financing, and a decimated reserve position at the Central Bank. As the months 
passed, this situation worsened, deepening the economy's fragility. The direct negative impact caused 
by the drought and the indirect impact due to the shortage of dollars ended up leading to a decline in 
economic activity close to 1.5%. The triple-digit inflation regime consolidated, and the consumer price 
index closed the year registering monthly increases of 25.5% and a year-on-year inflation rate of 211% 
in December.  

This  complex  macroeconomic  environment  had  a  considerable  impact  on  the  performance  of  the 
GDP and the local media industry. Furthermore, the industry at a global level continued to operate in 
a  complex  and  dynamic  context,  with  an  increasing  focus  on  mobility.  Despite  these  challenges, 
Clarín  managed  to  maintain  its  position  as  the  most  important  and  diversified  media  group  in 
Argentina and one of the largest in the Spanish-speaking world.  

During the year, the subsidiaries of the Group maintained their position and leadership in each of the 
business  segments:  print  media,  radio,  broadcast  and  cable  television,  audiovisual  content 
production, and print industry. In line with the global trend, the Group continued to place a special 
focus on expanding its digital content, which is a benchmark in journalistic quality and has high levels 
of credibility and interaction.  

From  its  role  as  a  media  company,  the  Group  continued  working  to  contribute  to  the  country's 
sustainable  development  and  to  satisfy  citizens'  right  to  information  through  a  comprehensive 
journalistic  and  entertainment  offering  based  on  credibility,  freedom  of  expression,  and  interaction 
with the audience. In each of its business units, the Company promoted responsible content creation, 
sustainable  management  of  operations,  transparent  communication,  diversity,  and  environmental 
awareness. In an election year marked by a complex economic context, journalistic independence, 
professional  rigor,  respect,  and  the  pursuit  of  truth  were  fundamental  values  in  promoting  the 
strengthening of Argentine democracy. 

The  long-term  outlook  for  the  industry  is  challenging  but  positive,  demonstrating  the  flexibility  and 
adaptability  of  the  ecosystem.  Looking  forward,  Grupo  Clarín  aims  to  continue  consolidating  its 
presence in the local and regional market, committing to innovation with high-quality content across 
various multimedia and multiplatform formats.  

4 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
All  its  business  units  will  focus  on  capitalizing  on  opportunities,  strengthening,  improving,  and 
expanding their products and services, and increasing their market share. At the corporate level, we 
will continue to promote sustainable business management through efficient processes and initiatives 
that contribute to creating economic, social, and environmental value for the Group, its stakeholders, 
and society as a whole. 

Best regards, 

Jorge C. Rendo  
Chair of Grupo Clarín

3.  ABOUT THE CONTEXT 

3.1. 2023 MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 

The performance of the Argentine economy throughout the year 2023 was conditioned by various 
significant  events:  The  presidential  elections,  the  successive  stages  and  outcomes,  the  national 
government's  economic  measures  in  that  electoral  context,  and  the  negative  collateral  effects 
resulting from a severe drought.  

Since  the  beginning  of  2023,  the  economy  showed  a  decline  in  the  demand  for  pesos,  scarce 
voluntary sovereign financing, and a decimated reserve position at the Central Bank. As the months 
passed, this situation worsened, deepening the economy's fragility. 

Throughout  the  year,  the  imbalance  of  public  accounts  and  the  monetary  financing  of  the  deficit 
persisted. The sharp acceleration of inflation—with an annual rate close to 211%—along with the loss 
of slightly over US$ 20,000 million in gross reserves (which brought the Central Bank's net foreign 
currency position into negative territory) and alternative dollar exchange rate gaps above 150%, are 
the clearest symptoms of the state of the economy.  

The extension of the electoral process had adverse effects on the economic front. The Ministry of 
Economy  implemented  a  series  of  expansionary  policies  which  led  to  a  deterioration  of  public 
accounts  and  exacerbated  the  surplus  of  pesos  along  with  the  scarcity  of  BCRA  reserves.  The 
national fiscal deficit on a cash basis, including debt interest service, closed the year around 6.1% of 
GDP, 45% higher than the 4.2% observed in 2022. 

When  analyzing 2023 in detail, two specific factors  must be considered. The first, centered  in  the 
second half of the year, was the prolonged electoral process that had to be extended to a runoff with 
a  final  victory  for  the  opposition.  This  postponed  the  necessary  corrections.  The  second  factor, 
centered in the second quarter of the year, was the severe drought the country experienced and its 
collateral effects on the external, exchange, and fiscal fronts of the economy.  

On  the  external  front,  the  value  of  exports  showed  a  25%  decline  over  the  year,  amounting  to 
US$ 21,600 million. From a historical perspective, it is important to highlight that this decline, primarily 
driven by an even greater drop in agricultural complex products, was the largest in the last 48 years. 
This caused a collapse in the foreign currency supply in a year when private demand tends to grow 
due to the uncertainty any electoral process entails. This led to a reserve management scheme aimed 
at preventing the economic activity from collapsing. 

Until the primary elections, the government chose to face exchange pressures with severe restrictions 
on foreign currency demand. Later, the critical reserve position forced a correction in the exchange 
rate  by  devaluing  the  peso.  However,  the  postponement  of  a  comprehensive  economic  program 
meant that the devaluation was diluted by a new leap in the economy's nominality.  

On the  fiscal  front, the effects of the  drought  on revenue collection were significant:  Export  duties 
(withholdings)  fell  by  6%  in  nominal  terms  (almost  70%  in  real  terms)  over  the  year,  reducing 
revenues.  

The  direct  negative  impact  caused  by  the  drought  and  the  indirect  impact  due  to  the  shortage  of 
dollars ended up leading to a decline in economic activity close to 1.5%. Meanwhile, the three-digit 
inflationary regime that the economy entered at the end of  2022 was consolidated. The consumer 
price index closed 2023 with monthly increases of 25.5% and a year-on-year inflation rate of 211% 
in December.

3.2. OUTLOOK FOR NEXT YEAR 

The new administration proposed, in its first days in office, a controlled shock economic program. Its 
declared  objective  was  to  simultaneously  tackle  several  issues,  including  the  balance  of  public 
accounts, the adjustment of relative prices (mainly official exchange rate parity and public utility rates), 
and the balance sheet of the Central Bank. The latter involves both the rebuilding of the international 
reserves stock and the reduction of the Central Bank's interest-bearing liabilities.  

The strategy aimed to signal a change in the economic regime and concentrate necessary corrections 
in the first months of the new administration.  

Among  the  main  challenges  is  the  elimination  of  fiscal  imbalance  in  the  first  year  of  government, 
aiming to reduce to zero the issuance of pesos to finance the fiscal deficit. The National Government 
aims to achieve a fiscal adjustment of 5.2 percentage points of GDP, equivalent to US$ 25,000 million. 
If achieved, Argentina's public accounts would show a primary surplus of +2.0% of GDP. 

For  2024,  an  improvement  on  the  external  front  is  expected  due  to  a  better  harvest,  which  would 
imply  a  recovery  of  exports  by  around  20%  and  would  bring  the  trade  balance  back  to  a  positive 
territory of around US$ 20,000 million.  

In terms of relative prices, the incoming administration moved forward with deregulating price controls 
and implemented a significant adjustment to the nominal exchange rate parity of around 120%. The 
government decided to preserve the existing dual exchange rate scheme, albeit with changes in the 
margin of the tax rates. The slide of the wholesale exchange rate from $/US$ 350 to around 800, 
equivalent  to  a  peso  devaluation  of  just  over  50%,  created  a  critical  buffer  for  exchange  rate 
competitiveness considering the current high inflation rates. 

As of the date of this Annual Report, the exchange rate gaps have been reduced. Additionally, the 
Central Bank has embarked on a process of reserve replenishment through the purchase of foreign 
currency totaling nearly US$ 8,000 million.  

The series of costs associated with the proposed restructuring led to a revision of the projections for 
2024. Inflation for the current year is expected to be at least as high as in 2023, with a significant 
concentration in the first half of the year. Additionally, a further decline of about 3 percentage points 
in real GDP is expected, concentrated in the first semester, though partly offset by the recovery of 
the agro-export complex. 

3.3. THE YEAR 2023 AND THE MEDIA SECTOR IN ARGENTINA AND THE WORLD 

During  2023,  the  media  industry  was  faced  with  uncertainty  due  to  the  reconversion  processes, 
adaptation of businesses to the digital era, and changes in consumption patterns resulting from new 
technologies. Furthermore, the sustained migration of advertising to the digital environment continued 
to be concentrated in large global platforms, especially Facebook, Google, Amazon, and, to a lesser 
extent, in Asian companies such as Alibaba, ByteDance (owner of TikTok), and Tencent.   

The  media  and  entertainment  industries  are  operating  in  a  complex  and  dynamic  context,  with  a 
growing focus on mobility and seeking to reach younger audiences who prioritize the consumption of 
video content, streaming, and games.   

Against  the  backdrop  of  sustainability  tensions  and  certain  collateral  effects  resulting  from  the 
functioning of platforms (such as the chaotic dissemination of news - true and fake - or the worrying 
news biases created by algorithms that reinforce their users' beliefs), media outlets around the world 
continue to focus on gaining strength. To achieve this, they emphasize differential assets such as the 
credibility of their brands, invest in incorporating new technologies in their newsrooms (in terms of 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
content, commercial strategy, marketing, big data, and machine learning), seek to attract and retain 
new  digital  talents,  and  highlight  the  institutional  role  they  have  historically  played  in  democratic 
societies.  

Over the past few years, the multimedia paradigm has been fully consolidated. The multi-platform 
approach is the norm and, without exception, traditional media outlets are exploring other languages. 
In this way, the consumption of content is simultaneous, overlapped and through multiple windows. 
In  2023,  this  trend  deepened.  The  consumption  of  video  through  OTT  platforms  (such  as  Netflix, 
Flow, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Disney+, among others) has increased, a trend that will continue 
in the coming years, albeit with greater competition among players in the so-called "streaming wars". 
During  the  period,  there  was  also  significant  growth  in  the  consumption  of  e-books  and  gaming 
products.   

It is evident that more and more users are selecting the content they consume prioritizing preferences, 
quality, convenience, and truthful information. Therefore, the companies in this industry want to have 
direct  contact  with  the  user  to  build  loyalty  through  the  added  value  of  their  brands  and  the 
personalization of content and services that they may develop in the future.   

While audiences continue to migrate to the digital world, users increasingly prefer mobile devices to 
search for the content that best suits their preferences. According to Chartbeat, 75% of the visits to 
news sites are made from a mobile phone. This phenomenon poses big challenges for an industry 
forced to constantly change and adapt the content and the ads to mobile screens.  

During  2023,  the  number  of  users  willing  to  register  and  pay  for  the  content  and  services  they 
consume more intensively continued to grow. This was particularly true for platforms or media they 
were already using but were doing so anonymously.  

Thus,  the  consolidation  process  of  subscriptions  deepened  during  2023,  largely  driven  by  the 
consumption  of  video  streaming  (especially  in  OTTs),  digital  music,  podcasts,  video  games,  and 
various digital newspapers that launched and strengthened their paywall models. In fact, Deloitte and 
PWC  already  estimate  that  there  are  more  people  who  have  at  least  one  subscription  to  a  video 
streaming service than those who have a subscription to a traditional TV service.  

The  long-term  outlook  for  the  industry  is  challenging  but  positive,  demonstrating  the  flexibility  and 
adaptability of the ecosystem. Professional reports argue that the consumption of digital content will 
be the main global growth factor for the industry in the coming years. Successful media will be those 
that best adapt their strategies to engage consumers with the most convenient products, services, 
and experiences.   

In  the  local  context,  just  like  in  2022,  the  complex  macroeconomic  environment  generated  an 
acceleration of inflation and a setback in private consumption, which had a considerable impact on 
the performance of the GDP and the media industry. This performance is mostly accounted for by the 
sensitivity of Argentine media companies’ revenue structure to the economic cycles. In this sense, 
even  though  they  continue  to  grow,  media  companies’  advertising  revenues  are  still  especially 
sensitive  to  recessive  cycles  due  to  the  moderate  development  still  shown  by  paid  subscription 
models in the domestic market.  

This highlights the need for traditional media to continue to invest in innovation, creating new and 
better digital products and services that allow them to make their business models sustainable in an 
increasingly competitive environment. To such end, they will need to deepen and optimize the path 
that enables them to efficiently monetize digital advertising and subscriptions, while leveraging mobile 
consumption without being invasive to the user.  

9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, consumer habits are moving in the same direction as the rest of the 
world, further enhanced by the new modality of teleworking. In the audiovisual segment, the highlights 
were a slight drop in HUT (households using television) and the growth or consolidation of various 
OTTs or video streaming platforms, coupled with the use of home data for work tools, especially for 
video calls.  

Thus, the challenges faced by the local industry do not differ from those seen in companies around 
the world, except for the complex macroeconomic environment. The willingness of society to pay for 
Internet  content  under  this  environment  appears  to  be  one  of  the  critical  challenges.  The  media 
companies that achieve the most successful innovations and maintain brands that add value will have 
a head start in the race to reach the user with the possibility of building loyalty.  

3.4. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN 2023 

The latest substantial changes in legislation were introduced in December 2015 under Decree No. 
267/2015,  which  amended  Laws  Nos.  26,522  and  27,078  (“Audiovisual  Communication  Services 
Law” and “Digital Argentina Law” respectively).  

Some  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  hold  licenses  and  registrations  and  exploit  Audiovisual 
Communication  Services  (Television,  Radio,  Cable  Television  Signals,  Producers  and  Advertising 
Agencies), and operate under the scope of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law.  

The Enforcement Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services 

The  Enforcement  Authority  is  the  National  Communications  Agency  (ENACOM,  for  its  Spanish 
acronym) pursuant to Decree No. 111/2024, which ordered the restructuring of the National Public 
Administration's organizational composition, is currently under the purview of the Chief of the Cabinet 
of Ministers.  

Through Decree No. 89/2024, published  in the Official Gazette on January 29, 2024, the National 
Government  ordered  the  intervention  of  the  ENACOM  for  a  period  of  180  days.  Pursuant  to  said 
Decree, the powers established for the Enforcement Authority under Laws Nos. 26,522 and 27,078 
are  jointly  assigned  to  the  Intervenor  and  the  Deputy  Intervenors.  The  period  during  which  the 
Regulatory Authority will be subject to intervention may be renewed only once. 

Multiple License Regime for Audiovisual Communication Services 

The  multiple  license  regime  established  under  Law  No.  22,285  allowed  licensees  to  hold  at  the 
national level up to twenty-four (24) sound or television broadcasting licenses. At the local level, one 
individual or legal entity could have up to one sound broadcasting license, one television license and 
one subscription television license. In this last case, FM broadcasting services were not included in 
this limit if they were broadcast from the same station and location as the AM broadcasting services. 

The LSCA introduced comprehensive amendments on the multiple license regime, against which the 
Company and some of its subsidiaries filed an unconstitutionality claim. Eventually, that claim was 
dismissed. Emergency Decree No. 267/2015 repealed Article 161, whereby licensees had to conform 
to the multiple license regime and changed the limits established therein.  

Through Decree No. 70/2023 published in the Official Gazette on December 21, 2023, the National 
Government  once  again  amended  the  multiple  license  regime,  eliminating  the  limit  of  audiovisual 
communication services set at the national level (15 broadcast television and radio services).  

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
Terms of Audiovisual Communication Services Licenses 

All  the  subsidiaries  of  the  Company,  owners  of  licenses  for  the  exploitation  of  Audiovisual 
Communication Services have obtained an extension of the terms of their licenses, for the exploitation 
of broadcast television and AM and FM sound broadcasting services. All the licensees were deemed 
to have opted to request an extension under Article 20 of Decree No. 267/15, and were granted a 
new term for the first period of TEN (10) years, with the right to an automatic extension for a term of 
FIVE (5) more years, in every case.  

Digital Television. 

In connection with digital television, all the subsidiaries that hold broadcast television licenses were 
awarded  a  digital  channel  to  render  terrestrial  digital  television  services.  ARTEAR  filed  an 
unconstitutionality  claim  requesting  the  revision  of  the  legal  regime  applicable  to  the  transition  to 
digital television. Although Decree No. 173/2019 postponed the analog switch-off until August 2021, 
it  prevented  the  execution  of  the  necessary  actions  for  the  transition  process,  leading  to  various 
regulations postponing the analog switch-off.  All subsidiaries holding broadcast television  licenses 
were granted extensions, resulting in the postponement of the new switch-off dates to be complied 
with during 2024, in accordance with the schedule established for each region. 

Significant changes in the legal framework of ICT Services 

Decree No. 690/20 – Amendments to the LAD 

On  August  22,  2020,  the  National  Executive  Branch  amended  the  Digital  Argentina  Act  through 
Decree No. 690/2020, which was subsequently ratified by the Congress under the terms of Law No. 
26,122. 

Among  the amendments that were  introduced by  Decree No. 690/2020, ICT Services  – fixed and 
mobile  telephony,  subscription  television  and  Internet  –  and  the  access  to  telecommunications 
networks for and between licensees are now deemed “essential and strategic public Services subject 
to competition”, and ENACOM shall guarantee their actual availability. 

The  prices  of  essential  and  strategic  public  ICT  Services  subject  to  competition,  the  prices  of  the 
services  provided  under  the  Universal  Service,  and  of  those  determined  by  ENACOM  based  on 
reasons of public interest, shall be regulated by said agency. This could have a negative impact on 
the subsidiaries that produce and sell television content, such as ARTEAR. 

However, Subscription Television Service operators brought various legal actions against the above-
mentioned  resolutions,  grounded  on  the  unconstitutionality  of  the  regulations.  They  were  granted 
different injunctions that suspended the application of those regulations. Said injunctions ratified and 
extended  on  several  occasions  and,  in  some  cases,  courts  of  first  instance  have  issued  rulings 
declaring it unconstitutional. In fact, through Decree No. 89/2024, which orders the intervention of the 
ENACOM,  the  National  Government  commissioned  the  preparation  of  a  report  to  analyze  the 
consequences brought about by the issuance of Emergency Decree No. 690/20, as well as a proposal 
for the resolution of the issue.

New  General  Rules  Governing  Physical  and/or  Radio  Electric  Link  Subscription  Broadcasting 
Services 

ENACOM Resolution No. 1,491/2020 issued on December 24, 2020 approved the last General Rules 
Governing Physical Radio-Electric and/or Satellite Link Subscription Broadcasting Services. 

Even though the new General Rules maintain the onerosity of all the broadcast television services 
and  signals  that  fall  within  the  scope  of  the  “must  carry”  regime  (signals  and  services  subject  to 
mandatory  retransmission)  by  the  providers  of  subscription  television  services,  they  introduce  the 
concept  of  “fair,  equitable  and  reasonable  price”  and  implement  a  dispute  resolution  procedure  in 
case of disagreement between signal holders and distributors (by physical, radio-electric or satellite 
link) to be brought before the ENACOM, whereby the parties are deemed to have voluntarily accepted 
to be subject to this procedure. 

In addition, the General Rules provide that in the event that signal holders and physical, radio-electric 
and/or  satellite  link  subscription  television  licensees  do  not  settle  their  dispute,  distributors  shall 
include  the  signal  in  the  programming  grid  at  the  price  set  by  ENACOM’s  Board  based  on  the 
information gathered during the proceeding. 

It  should  be  noted  that  both  the  price  and  the  settlement  procedure  are  applicable  to  any  signal, 
including those which are not subject to mandatory retransmission. 

In  addition,  the  General  Rules  also  provide  that  the  commercialization  of  one  signal  may  not  be 
conditional on the acquisition of other signals and, in the case of sales of signal packages, the price 
must include a breakdown of the price of each of the signals included in the package. 

ARTEAR’s legal advisors believe that the ENACOM is not empowered to set the price of a signal, 
regardless of whether or not it is a signal subject to mandatory retransmission, and that it would be 
arbitrary and unconstitutional if the agency imposed a price on the owner of content that does not 
voluntarily agree to the settlement proceeding.

4.  THE COMPANY. ORIGIN, EVOLUTION AND PROFILE 

Grupo  Clarín  is  Argentina's  most  prominent  and  diversified  media  group  and  one  of  the  most 
important in the Spanish-speaking world. The Company is organized and operates in Argentina and 
its controlling shareholders and management are Argentine. Grupo Clarín is present in the Argentine 
print  media,  radio,  broadcast  television,  audiovisual  production,  and  in  the  printing  industry. 
Substantially all of Grupo Clarín's assets, operations and audiences are located in Argentina, where 
it generates most of its revenues. The Company also conducts operations at a regional level.  

Grupo Clarín's history dates back to 1945, the year in which Roberto Noble founded the newspaper 
Clarín  of Buenos Aires (“Diario Clarín”), with the goal  of becoming a mass distribution and quality 
newspaper,  privileging  information,  and  committing  to  the  comprehensive  development  of  the 
country. Between 1969 and 2017, Diario Clarín was led by his wife, Ernestina Herrera de Noble. It 
became  the  flagship  national  newspaper  and  has  consolidated  its  position  throughout  the  years 
thanks  to  the  work  of  its  journalists  and  the  loyalty  of  its  readers.  Diario  Clarín  is  now  one  of  the 
Spanish-language newspapers with the highest circulation in the world. In 2016, Diario Clarín became 
the most widely-read Spanish-language digital newspaper in the world and received a record high of 
22 million unique users during December 2019, which was later surpassed in 2020 during the COVID-
19  pandemic.  Over  the  years,  Grupo  Clarín  has  been  one  of  the  main  actors  in  the  changes 
undergone  by  the  media  worldwide.  It  incorporated  new,  varied  printing  activities,  and  decided  to 
embrace  technological developments, investing to reach its audiences through new platforms and 
channels and through new audiovisual and digital languages.  

In this way, Grupo Clarín entered the radio and television sectors. Today, it is the owner of one of the 
two leading broadcast television channels in Argentina (ARTEAR/ eltrece) and of AM/FM broadcast 
radio  stations.  Along  with  the  newspaper,  these  media  are  recognized  as  the  most  credible  and 
considered leaders of Argentine journalism in one of the most diverse media markets in the region.  

Grupo Clarín also publishes Olé, the first and only sports newspaper in Argentina, and the magazines 
Ñ, Genios, Jardín de Genios, Pymes and Elle. Through CIMECO, the Company holds equity interests 
in  the newspapers La  Voz del  Interior  and Los  Andes. In  the audiovisual  front,  it  also produces 5 
cable signals. A news signal, (Todo Noticias), and the signals Volver, Magazine, Quiero Música en 
mi  Idioma  and  Canal  (á).  It  also  produces  sports  channels  and  events  (TyC  Sports),  television 
content, and motion pictures (Pol-Ka and Patagonik Film Group).  

In line with the global trend, Grupo Clarín has committed itself to expanding digital content production. 
Grupo Clarín's Internet portals and sites receive more than half of the visits to Argentine websites. 
The Group's digital media are benchmarks of journalistic quality and have high credibility rates. Its 
social media accounts have the largest number of followers and generate significant interaction. Over 
the last years, the Group’s media and journalists have received many awards for their ventures in 
different digital platforms.  

In 1999, Grupo Clarín was incorporated as an Argentine sociedad anónima, a corporation with limited 
liability. It gradually opened its capital to other participants and, since October 2007, it has been listed 
on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and on the London Stock Exchange. It takes pride in having 
grown in Argentina, in being a source of influence on a local level in an increasingly transnational 
market  with  a  size  that  enables  it  to  compete  without  losing  strength  among  large  international 
players.  

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Grupo Clarín's investments in Argentina in the last 20 years have been very significant, always with 
the  same  central  focus:  Journalism,  the  media,  production  and  distribution  of  content  and 
communications.  Its  activities  have  contributed  to  the  creation  of  an  important  Argentine  cultural 
industry  and  generate  qualified  and  genuine  employment.  Its  vision  and  business  model  focus  on 
investing,  producing,  informing,  and  entertaining,  preserving  Argentine  values  and  identity,  and 
preserving business independence in order to ensure journalistic independence.  

In addition, since its foundation, Grupo Clarín has undertaken intense community activities. Grupo 
Clarín,  together  with  Fundación  Noble,  which  was  established  in  1966,  organizes  and  sponsors 
several  programs  and  activities,  particularly  focused  on  education,  culture,  and  civic  involvement. 
Furthermore,  as  an  expression  of  its  corporate  social  responsibility,  Grupo  Clarín  focuses  on  the 
ongoing improvement of its processes, develops initiatives that arise from the dialog with different 
stakeholders, and works towards sustainability, diversity, and common good. 

4.1. COMPANY PROFILE 

4.2. GRUPO CLARÍN AND ITS BUSINESS SEGMENTS IN 2023 

For Grupo Clarín, as well as for many companies in Argentina, 2023 was a highly challenging year. 
The persistent economic crisis, marked by an acceleration of inflation, depreciation of the currency, 
and  increases  in  interest  rates,  created  a  complex  framework  for  the  private  sector.  Despite  this 
challenging environment, Grupo Clarín managed to maintain its market position, despite a fall in sales 
across the industry, measured in real terms. 

In this context, the Group's net consolidated sales decreased during the year by 5.5%, from $ 229,165 
million to $ 216,469 million in constant currency as of December 31, 2023. It should be noted that the 
variation occurred mainly due to the impact of the restatement of 2022 revenues compared to 2023 
and  the  decline  in  advertising  revenues,  especially  during  the  last  quarter  of  the  year  -due  to  the 
acceleration of inflation, which could not be passed on to rates- and the fall in recorded activity given 
the uncertainty. This decrease was partially offset by higher Circulation and Printing revenues in the 
Print and Digital Publications Segment, mainly due to the increased revenues generated by the sale 
of school textbooks in the first quarter of the year. 

By  the  end  of  2023,  Grupo  Clarín's  consolidated  gross  financial  indebtedness  (including  accrued 
interest and fair value adjustments) stood at approximately $ 13,776 million, and the cash position at 
year-end stood at $ 31,465 million.  

The following is a description of the most significant events related to the situation and management 
of each of Grupo Clarín's business segments during 2023. 

4.2.1.  PRINT AND DIGITAL PUBLICATIONS  

Grupo Clarín, through AGEA, is the main publisher of newspapers and news portals in Argentina and 
one of the most prominent editorial content producers in Latin America.  

Arte Gráfico Editorial Argentino 

Arte Gráfico Editorial Argentino S.A. (AGEA) publishes two national newspapers and their respective 
digital portals. In the first place, AGEA publishes Clarín, the flagship Argentine newspaper and one 
of the most important in the Spanish-speaking world both in terms of audience and editorial relevance. 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It also publishes Olé, founded in 1996, the first and only sports newspaper of its kind in the Argentine 
market.  In  addition,  it  publishes  regional  newspapers;  Genios,  a  very  popular  magazine  among 
schoolchildren;  Jardín  de  Genios,  aimed  at  children  aged  2-5  that  comes  with  a  supplement  for 
parents; Ñ, a cultural magazine; Pymes, aimed at small- and medium-sized businesses; and ARQ, 
aimed at the construction world, architects and designers. It also publishes the Argentine version of 
the women’s magazine Elle and, since June 2020, the Disney Pre-School magazine, which includes 
educational proposals for learning to read and write. 

AGEA  has  a  strong  presence  in  the  digital  content  segment  through  its  websites  clarin.com  and 
ole.com.ar, which are among the most visited websites in Latin America.  

Clarín 

With a long-standing editorial and commercial leadership consolidated throughout its 78-year track-
record,  Clarín  is  the  most  prominent  Argentine  medium  in  journalistic  terms  and  one  of  the  most 
widely read. 

With innovation at the core, Clarín has a multi-platform newsroom that works simultaneously for its 
different editions - digital, mobile, and print. In this around-the-clock news production process, all the 
journalists work for all the platforms in order to maintain the Company’s leadership in the print and 
digital market.  

Clarín is the leading Argentine newspaper in terms of digital subscribers and registered users (the 
two most relevant indicators in the world's leading newspapers, with readers that are highly loyal to 
the brand and its journalistic quality). Additionally, it ranks among the top portals in terms of unique 
users. Clarín seeks to continue expanding this base with readers of all ages and different reading 
frequencies and, at the same time, it seeks to offer original content for the most frequent readers that, 
given their periodicity, choose to become digital subscribers. The quality, flexibility, immediacy, and 
close bond with the readers are the key pillars to face these new challenges.  

Clarín  has  a  strong  share  in  every  large  digital  platform  and  all  its  products  follow  an  innovative 
communication  strategy.  In  this  way,  Clarín  has  positioned  itself  as  a  leader  in  social  media  and 
among  online  news  portals.  Clarín.com  addresses  the  significant  changes  in  the  way  news  and 
information  are  consumed.  The  site  is  constantly  updated  through  the  efforts  of  an  integrated 
newsroom that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and features a wide variety of formats.  

Among  the  highlights  of  Clarín's  news  coverage  during  2023  are  several  special  reports.  With 
correspondents sent to Israel, Clarín had first-hand accounts from conflict zones. For several weeks, 
Marcelo Cantelmi reported on the progress of the hostilities.  

Other special coverages included the Rugby World Cup in France and the  Libertadores Cup final, 
both events with Clarín journalists on the field. 

To strengthen the relationship with its audiences and stakeholders, Clarín produced two event series 
during 2023. It held the fifth edition of “Democracy and Development,” a cycle that seeks to address 
the  institutional,  economic,  and  social  challenges  of  our  country  with  a  plural  and  long-term 
perspective. During the events held at the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires, under the 
motto  "40  years  of  democratic  recovery,  the  pending  agenda  in  an  election  year,"  DyD  sought  to 
promote dialog and the search for consensus. National and provincial officials, governors, business 
leaders  from  large  and  medium-sized  companies,  sectoral  representatives,  economists,  and 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
candidates,  among  others,  participated.  Each  meeting  was  broadcast  live  on  the  homepage  of 
Clarin.com. On the other hand, all the presentations from the fourth edition were compiled and edited 
into a book titled "Los motores para el crecimiento argentino" (The Engines for Argentine Growth.)  

The second event, "The Coming World", was focused on the new agenda of society and businesses. 
It was the third edition and consisted of a series of 10 conversations between analysts, executives, 
researchers, leaders from the  private and public sectors, as well  as from the social sector. It was 
broadcast live on Clarín's website with very good results in terms of viewers and relevance of the 
topics.  

In  2017,  Clarín  became  the  first  Argentine  newspaper  to  launch  a  digital  subscription  system.  In 
December 2023, Clarín surpassed 700,000 digital subscriptions - a leader in the Spanish-speaking 
world - with more than 5,000,000 registered users. During the  WAN-IFRA World Congress held in 
Taiwan, Clarín received the award for the "Best Digital Subscription Strategy," becoming the first Latin 
American media to receive this international recognition. In 2023, it also received the distinction as 
the news site with the Best Digital Subscription Strategy in Latin America at the "Digital Media America 
2023" by WAN-IFRA. 

Additionally, in 2023, Clarín launched Ualter, an artificial intelligence tool. It consists of a series of 
automatic  editing  tools.  This  assistant  generates  condensed  texts,  reorganizes  information,  and 
extracts data and numbers with the aim of providing a complementary alternative to the original text 
of an article. 

An  agreement  was  executed  with  Hiberus  to  establish  an  Argentine  technology  company,  and  to 
strengthen a software development hub for Europe and the United States, which at the same time 
will provide services in the national and regional market. Hiberus Argentina aims to become a leading 
technology consulting firm in the country. 

In its print edition, Clarín's sales in 2023 exceeded its direct competitor by 23%, with weekend editions 
close to 116 thousand copies. This places Clarín among the major Sunday newspapers of the world. 
Clarín has a 50% share in the newspaper market in Capital Federal and the province of Buenos Aires, 
and a 23% share at a national level. 

Viva, the magazine which has come for free with the Sunday newspaper for 29 years, is noted for a 
strong  representation  of  Argentine  people,  through  its  articles  and  content  that  reflect  the  social 
phenomena and the current issues. 

The Zepita facility -where the newspaper Clarín and its sections, as well as the newspaper Olé and 
those of other competitors are printed- is located in the City of Buenos Aires and has a surface area 
of 35,000 m2 and capacity to store 12,000 tons of newsprint. It has five Goss Metrocolor rotary offset 
printing presses that enable it to print 300,000 copies of 80 full-color pages per hour. AGL's printing 
facility, located in the province of Santa Fe, has a surface area of 3,900 m2 and has a Goss Uniliner 
rotary offset printing press which enables it to print 75,000 copies per hour. The entire production 
process  is  developed  in  accordance  with  leading  industrial  criteria  and  environment  preservation 
standards, such as ISO 14001. 

Clarín 365 is a readers club created in 2010 to build loyalty among readers and to reinforce its close 
bond  with  them,  as  well  as  to  strengthen  circulation.  It  was  created  exclusively  for  Clarín's 
publications,  but,  eventually,  it  was  adopted  by  other  newspapers  and  magazines  in  the  country. 
Currently, there are over 30 editorial products that offer access to the 365 or 365 Plus cards. The 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
system offers more than 700 brands and 5,000 affiliated stores throughout the country. Clarín 365 
remained the leading benefits club during 2023. During 2023, 365 continued to focus on corporate 
agreements  and  we  signed  agreements  with  companies  and  agencies  that  contributed  new 
subscribers. 

"Since  2019,  Clarín  has  had  a  Gender  Editor  to  ensure  a  gender  perspective  in  all  areas  of  the 
newspaper. This decision, which aligns with the growing demand from audiences seeking information 
and stories adapted to modern times, reflects a trend being adopted by several leading newspapers 
worldwide. Clarín was a pioneer among Argentine media in implementing these measures. 

Products  

The core offering of the newspaper comprises the main sections (politics, economy, society) together 
with the Spot, Sports, and Classified ads sections. Weekly supplements (such as, Economic, Rural, 
Cars,  Traveling,  Real  Estate  and  The  New  York  Times)  make  Diario  Clarín  one  of  the  most 
comprehensive newspapers in the market. 

The regional supplements extend the specific territorial coverage to the surrounding area of the City 
of Buenos Aires. In digital and paper formats, through three publications: North, South, and West.

of leading companies, personal finances, marketing and labor market with valuable information, easy-
to-read texts, and the opinion of national and international prestigious columnists. 

In 2023, the sports section regained its prominence due to the 2023 Rugby World Cup. It conducted 
the  special  coverage  of  the  most  relevant  international  events  of  the  year,  such  as  the  2023 
Libertadores Cup. 

The Rural section is a management tool for the productive sector. It contributes to the dissemination 
of all the solutions and updating on new technologies for agricultural  businesses. It is a source of 
reference for the diverse topics that are relevant to the agricultural industry in Argentina. 

Magazines 

Since 2003, the magazine Ñ - both in the print and digital formats - has featured the main expressions 
of literature, thought and cultural phenomena of Argentina and the world. 

The magazine Ñ seeks to enrich debates, generate discussions, and propose innovative approaches 
to  understand  and  appreciate  the  manifestations  of  society  in  all  fields.  In  addition,  it  features  the 
most prominent editorial offerings and the main cultural activities in Buenos Aires and in Argentina. 
In 2023, the magazine celebrated its 20th anniversary with its readers through "Alfabeto del presente," 
a special edition featuring  reflections and short essays by 42 artists and writers. Organized in the 
manner of a dictionary, the pages presented a word or essential cardinal concept in interpreting our 
times.  The  letters  were  uploaded  to  the  portal  daily  until  the  content  of  the  printed  edition  was 
complete.  Likewise,  during  the  2023  Festival  Eñe  held  in  Madrid,  we  held  a  special  event:  the 
interview  series  titled  'Conversaciones  al  otro  lado,'  in  commemoration  of  the  magazine's  two

decades. To close the year of celebrations, in November, the magazine launched the collection "Los 
tanguitos de Rivarola" composed of 6 detective novels written by Martín Caparrós. 

Through Premio Clarín Novela, Magazine Ñ promotes the production and publishing of literary fiction 
in Spanish language. In 2023, the magazine held the 26th edition of the award. It is a symbol of support 
for culture that is renewed every year, discovering leading authors and connecting them with readers. 
This award has become one of the most popular literary contests in Spanish and is a meeting place 
for young writers, acclaimed authors, and readers. In 2023, Luciano Lamberti won the award for his 
novel “Para hechizar a un cazador”.  

Since  2002,  the  Magazine  ARQ  Clarín,  published  on  Tuesdays,  has  been  accompanying 
professionals and students as a reference  editorial  product in this field.  Additionally,  it periodically 
publishes the special editions of "MÁS ARQ", which contains a selection of works from around the 
world and addresses different topics under the names MAS Casas de Verano, MAS Casas Serranas, 
MAS Casa FOA, MAS Espacios de Trabajo, and "DNI" which is a publication specifically related to

Design in all its forms, and MAS ARQ, which stands out with a selection of works from around the 
world. This year's themes were: MAS Holiday Homes, MAS Minimal Housing, MAS Gastronomy and 
Architecture, and MAS Casa FOA. 

In April 2023, ARQ launched a special edition on 'La Casa del Arroyo' in Mar del Plata, restored this 
year, which included a double cover and a cut-out. On the occasion of Architect's Day, in 2023 ARQ 
edited a tribute  book about the architect Rafael  Viñoly showcasing his  best projects and featuring 
testimonies from those who knew him, including anecdotes and memories written in the first person 
by colleagues, friends, partners, and disciples of this great powerhouse of projects. Its launch took 
place in the context of the ARQ Excellence Ranking awards ceremony. Also during 2023, the contest 
organized  by  the  magazine  since  2001  with  the  Central  Society  of  Architects  (SCA)  took  place  to 
award the ARQ Clarín & SCA National Prize. The aim of this contest is to encourage  architecture 
students from all universities in the country to compete for the best project, thereby establishing itself 
as an aspirational foundation and a professional launch platform for future architects. The contest is 
sponsored by brands related to the sector. 

Revista ELLE is a high-end magazine for women, focused on fashion and beauty. It was incorporated 
into AGEA's product portfolio in 1994. During 2023, ELLE offered the products ELLE Decoración and

Pymes is a monthly publication with national reach, published since 2004, aimed at contributing to 
the development and consolidation of small businesses, with special emphasis on the entrepreneurial 
world and the so-called “startup” or “high impact” entrepreneurs.  

Olé 

Olé is the first and only sports newspaper in Argentina, both on the web and in print format. Since its 
launch  in  1996,  it  has  been  an  Argentine  benchmark  in  sports  information.  Its  editorial  offering 
provides  the  most  comprehensive  and  complete  coverage  of  soccer  and  other  sports  like  tennis, 
basketball, rugby, and motor racing.  

2023 was a great year for Olé. The newspaper conducted exclusive interviews with elite personalities 
like  Lionel  Messi,  Angel  Di  María,  and  Pep  Guardiola.  It  covered  from  the  scene  with  special 
correspondents the arrival of Lionel Messi to MLS and Inter Miami, Boca's final in the  Libertadores 
Cup in Rio de Janeiro, the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, and the Rugby 
World Cup in France, among many other events. It consolidated and renewed its presence on Twitch, 
a  constantly  growing  platform,  with  4  hours  of  live  broadcasting  daily.  It  reaffirmed  its  digital 
regionalization strategy with the continuity and monetization of Olé Ecuador, a prelude to expanding 
into new markets. The Olé Sports Summit Leaders was held, featuring a series of talks with national 
and international figures (including prominent individuals such as Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA; 
Claudio  Tapia,  President  of  AFA;  Javier  Tebas,  President  of  LaLiga;  and  Martín  Migoya,  CEO  of 
Globant).  Topics  of  interest  such  as  big  data,  artificial  intelligence,  management,  and  digital 
transformation were addressed during the two-day event at the Usina del Arte. The gathering became 
the sports industry's event of the year, boasting 80 speakers and attracting over 4,000 attendees. 
With  a  broad  and  robust  value  proposition,  it  surpassed  30,000  exclusive  digital  subscribers, 
challenging  the  notion  that  one  does  not  pay  to  consume  sports  content  and  transforming  this 
business into a significant source of revenue for the product. It was recognized by IAB Argentina at 
the prestigious +Digital Awards for two social media advertising actions. And it launched half a dozen 
optional graphic editorial products that were a sales success.  

Olé  continued  as  the  leader  in  sports  news  in  Argentina,  reaching  daily  to  all  the  country's 
newsstands,  as  well  as  through  its  digital  version.  The  newspaper's  digital  version  achieved  the 
following highlights: Over 6 million users and 80 million page views on average per month. 

Other Internet Businesses 

With its sites “Argenprop” and “Empleos Clarín;” the company has a strong presence in the on-line 
classified ads for real estate and jobs.  

El Gran DT is the most popular game in Argentina and has engaged over 6 million people in its 30 
editions. With a friendly product, a powerful brand, a community of more than 300,000 users and a 
business model based on digital subscriptions (with more than 50,000 customers), Gran DT continues 
its mission to be a soccer-linked entertainment space. No doubt it is a success story due to its track-
record and popularity.

Compañía Inversora en Medios de Comunicación (CIMECO) S.A. 

CIMECO was organized in 1997 with the aim of acquiring equity interests in Argentine and foreign 
newspapers, seeking to preserve the regional journalism industry, blending experience, synergy and 
economies of scale, preserving its editorial principles. CIMECO holds a majority interest in two of the 
three  largest  regional  newspapers  in  Argentina:  La  Voz  del  Interior  (Córdoba)  and  Los  Andes 
(Mendoza).  

The newspaper La Voz del Interior S.A. (LVI) leads the print and digital market in the central region 
of the country. Its newspaper, La Voz del Interior, has a significant market share in the province of 
Córdoba.  

20 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In 2023, LVI focused its editorial policy on consolidating a multiplatform strategy by adjusting the print 
and digital products to new trends in the consumption of news. The cross-functional work of various 
areas  had  a  significant  impact  on  new  subscriber  acquisitions  and  customer  loyalty,  allowing  the 
company to close the year with 114,930 digital subscriptions. La Voz del Interior (LVI) continued with 
its strategy of developing premium content, as well as managing exclusive courses, podcasts, and 
newsletters for various segments. All this was accompanied by the renewed benefits in Club La Voz 
and the sustained effort to generate corporate agreements. 

The  Content  area  developed  an  intense  coverage  of  the  provincial  electoral  schedule.  The 
deployment included all information platforms, especially the weekly political TV program Voz y Voto, 
broadcast by Eldoce, as well as the organization of a debate among the main candidates for national 
representation for Córdoba. 

LVI also had special correspondents at the Rugby World Cup and the Pan American Games.  

It should be noted that the newspaper launched La Voz app, with more than 5,000 downloads in the 
first four months of activity. 

CIMECO  also  owns  the  newspaper  Los  Andes,  which  has  been  reporting  Mendoza’s  news  since 
1882,  the  year  in  which  the  Calle  family  founded  one  of  the  oldest  journalistic  companies  in  the 
country. Los Andes is a benchmark brand in the market.  

During 2023, Los  Andes focused on maintaining its leadership position both in its print and digital 
versions.  Los  Andes  Pass,  the  newspaper’s  loyalty  program,  reached  17,500  subscribers  in 
December. The percentage of readers subscribed to this program represented 45% of the net monthly 
circulation at year-end.  

In August 2020, the newspaper launched the digital subscription, with great results. In addition, Los 
Andes granted access to the Digital Subscription to all the customers that were already subscribed 
to  the  Digital  Kiosk  service,  which  provides  access  to  the  print  edition  of  Los  Andes  in  PDF.  The 
company implemented a digital subscription system with a model that sets limits on the number of 
articles per month and on premium content. 

During 2023, Los Andes’ newsroom deepened the digital focus and the diversification of formats, with 
a common goal: Consolidating its regional leadership in all aspects, including publications on digital 
platforms, social media, print products, audiovisual production, brand credibility, and organization of 
events, among other strategic actions. 

With a peak of over 15,000,000 unique users reached in March, Los Andes ended the year leading 
the ranking of regional news sites and among the top ten of all national media, according to ComScore 
measurements. 

In  2023,  the  second  year  of  the  'Pillars  for  Regional  Growth'  cycle  was  developed,  whose  brand 
gained recognition among leaders and opinion-makers (especially entrepreneurs and politicians.) The 
continuity of the various panels helped to give regularity to the product, better position it, and increase 
its commercial potential.  

Additionally, the weekend journalistic offer of Los Andes was strengthened with the incorporation of 
a  special  edition  featuring  the  best  articles  from  the  Sunday  edition  of  Clarín.  Thus,  the  national 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
content  on  politics,  economy,  international  affairs,  culture,  and  entertainment,  among  other 
informational areas, was significantly enriched. 

Los  Andes  continued  its  growth  in  the  production  of  audiovisual  pieces.  Beyond  the  daily  news 
coverage and reports on current events, there were notable initiatives in the second half of the year, 
such as the streaming show “Más vivo que nunca,” which,  in a spontaneous format but with solid 
editorial support, managed to enthuse a team of young journalists and give Los Andes a dynamic 
image, adapting to the new times. 

Comercializadora de Medios del Interior (CMI) 

CMI is engaged in publishing and in the commercial representation of media outlets located in the 
provinces.  It  manages  the  news  site  Vía  País.  It  publishes  and  sells  the  magazine  Rumbos, 
distributed by many own- and third-party publications in the Interior of Argentina. 

During  2023,  CMI  continued  to  consolidate  itself  as  the  most  important  network  in  the  provinces. 
During  the  year,  the  company  intensified  the  adaptation  of  its  traditional  businesses  to  new 
technologies, preserving its business model. In this way, it continued to focus its businesses on the 
digital area.  

Among the highlights of 2023, the company consolidated the site Vía País. Its main aim is to build 
the largest news network in the country covering all the provinces of Argentina. By the end of 2023, 
the audience reached 9 million unique users. In social media, it has 2.9 million followers on Facebook, 
with 56.3 million interactions and 97 million video views, and 262 thousand followers on Instagram,

among others, the exploitation of advertising companies; editing, publishing, distribution, import and

and  Coldset  printing,  which  involve  two  types  of  treatments  for  commercial  brochures  and  books, 
magazine, and catalog publications.  

In 2023, activity at the printing plant increased as it was selected through bidding processes to print 
some  of  the  ballots  for  the  electoral  process.  Another  highlight  was  the  award  by  the  Argentine 
Ministry of Education for the printing of textbooks intended for primary and secondary levels, as well 
as for the printing of educational tests known as "Pruebas Aprender."

BROADCASTING AND PROGRAMMING 

Grupo Clarín is a major player in the Argentine audiovisual broadcasting and programming segment. 
Through ARTEAR,  it exploits the license  LS85 TV Canal  13  Buenos  Aires, one  of the two largest 
broadcast television channels in Argentina, in terms of advertising and audience share. It also has a 
presence  in  broadcast  television  stations  in  Córdoba  (Telecor).  Grupo  Clarín  also  produces  cable 
television signals.  

Its  role  in  the  production  of  audiovisual  content  includes  agreements  and  equity  interests  in 
benchmark TV and film producers, such as Pol-Ka Producciones and Patagonik Film Group. Grupo 
Clarín also owns prominent radio stations, such as Mitre AM 790, La 100 (FM 99.9), both in Buenos 
Aires, and Mitre AM 810 in the province of Córdoba. Grupo Clarín also has a strong stake in sports 
commercialization and broadcasting rights, directly and through joint ventures.  

ARTEAR 

Arte Radiotelevisivo Argentino S.A. (ARTEAR) owns eltrece, one of the main broadcast channels in 
Buenos Aires. Eltrece combines fiction, news, and entertainment, with a varied offering. It also owns 
TN, a leading 24/7 news signal, and cable tv signals.  

During 2023, ARTEAR ratified its audience performance in its broadcast and cable signals and in its 
digital  platform.  As  always,  eltrece  reaffirmed  its  commitment  to  information,  with  its  four  daily 
newscasts.  

Among the contents featured, the highlights were Telenoche, Socios del Espectáculos, Ahora Caigo, 
and Los 8 Escalones. 

During 2023, “Eltrecetv.com.ar” was the most visited portal among the Argentine broadcast stations. 
This site includes the live streaming of the signal, in addition to all the programming, full episodes, 
TV  listings  and  information  about  all  its  products.  The  site  can  be  accessed  through  Facebook, 
Twitter, Instagram, and, most recently,  YouTube. The company developed social  media coverage 
strategies using mobile devices in production locations to support programming while also growing 
the community and generating revenues for the industry.  

In  the  cable  TV  segment,  ARTEAR  offers  informative  and  entertainment  signals.  The  Spanish 
language music signal “Quiero Música en mi Idioma” was quick to lead audience ratings in the music 
genre. “Volver” offers the best of classic and vintage Argentine films and television shows. In addition, 
Canal (á), a signal that offers arts, cultural, and show business programs, mainly in Buenos Aires, is 
operated by ARTEAR.  

ARTEAR owns TN (Todo Noticias), the most prestigious 24/7 cable news signal in Argentina. TN is 
a news signal and its programming is based on ongoing news programs and a varied general interest 
programming  comprising  society,  politics,  economy,  international,  crimes,  investigations,  sports, 
entertainment, technology, and agricultural topics.  

In 2023, TN led audience ratings in all months and positioned itself, once again, as the most viewed 
cable signal of the year, outperforming its local and international competitors. According to Kantar 
Ibope Media, the cumulative average rating during the year - from Monday to Sunday from 7am to 12 
am - was 2.49 points, slightly higher than the previous year's measurement. 

The channel stood out once again for its coverage. TN covered elections throughout the year in more 
than 20 provinces and the three instances of national elections: Primary elections, general elections, 
and runoff elections. On all three occasions, it led the ratings throughout the electoral day and, during 
the duplex with eltrece, it maintained leadership over the rest of the news signals and broadcast TV. 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
 
TN also conducted the vice-presidential candidate debates twice. Audience peaks were close to 9 
points,  and  the  average  was  around  7  points.  It  also  generated  significant  amplification  on  social 
networks. 

TN  led  in  terms  of  audience  the  broadcast  of  the  presidential  debates,  which  were  aired  by  all 
channels. In the first debate, TN scored 6.1 points. During the second debate, it achieved 6.4, and 
during the runoff debate, it hit 6.0, surpassing all news channels. 

Internationally, TN had a notable coverage in Israel, following the attack by Hamas. A team led by 
Nelson Castro traveled to the hottest zone of the war. 

2023 closed with the broadcast of the presidential handover and the assumption of office of Javier 
Milei,  achieving  significant  rating  differences  at  the  most  emblematic  moments,  such  as  the 
President's  speech  on  the  steps  of  the  National  Congress.  That  day,  TN  was  the  most-watched 
channel, even surpassing the broadcast channels. 

On the other hand, TN's website remained among the leading news sites in Argentina. According to 
Comscore data, TN's website ranked third among the most-visited news sites in the first four months 
of  the  year  before  stabilizing  in  the  top  5.  Additionally,  TN  led  the  Comscore  ranking  in  video 
consumption throughout the year. 

TN also became the first mainstream media in the country to use Generative Artificial Intelligence for 
user registration: In October 2023, it  launched CandidateaMe, a conversational experience where 
users uploaded their selfie, answered  questions, and  obtained a photo that blended their features 
with those of the presidential candidate they selected. TN also used artificial intelligence to automate 
content: during election days, the editorial team published 3,700 automated articles with results by 
location. 

In  2023,  TN  relaunched  its  newsletter  editorial  offering.  With  a  strategy  focused  on  generating 
exclusive content for newsletter subscribers, the offering featured Luciana Geuna, Ricardo Canaletti, 
Guillermo Lobo, and Matías Antico.  

Throughout  2023,  TN  remained  the  most  important  Spanish-language  news  community  on  social 
media worldwide, reaching 5.1 million followers on Instagram and 4.2 million on TikTok, the two main 
social networks of 2023. 

In a year marked by a wide range of journalistic topics and a huge volume of political opinion, Todo 
Noticias  expanded 
the  signal: 
Professionalism, a huge display of production, coverage, ongoing live broadcast, engagement with 
the audience, and analysis.

its 

Ciudad Magazine, also owned by ARTEAR, is another cable signal that arose from the merger of two 
leading media in show business, Magazine and Ciudad.com. This merger leveraged the best of each 
and  their  potential  to  provide  the  audience  with  broader  news  coverage,  more  entertainment,  and 
better connection.  

Quiero, the Spanish language music signal, is also owned by  ARTEAR. A leader in its category, it 
offers  varied  programming  comprising  national  and  Latin-American  rock,  hip  hop,  reggaeton, 
alternative music, pop and melodic music, among others.  

ARTEAR also produces Canal (á), a 24/7 signal focused on culture. A channel that gathers all genres 
linked to art and culture under the premise of a plural approach. A signal with an avant-garde look 
and feel that set a trend among its peers. 

24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
The signal Volver preserves Argentine television history and owns the largest national film library. 
The programs broadcast by Volver are recognized by the public as genuine manifestations of “the 
best of our culture.” 

Cucinare is the local signal for gastronomy lovers. A place where cooking enthusiasts can find easy 
recipes and sophisticated dishes, with the premise of rigor when it comes to their preparation. A 100% 
digital brand in its origin which grew until achieving a 360° format with presence on television and off-
line.  

América Sports is the sports signal that offers 24 hours of passion covering all sports. With a special 
focus  on  motor  racing,  turf,  hunting,  fishing,  kitesurf,  and  extreme  and  non-conventional  sports  in 
general.  

ARTEAR is no longer just a broadcaster, it has become a content generator for multiple distribution 
platforms.  Thus,  ARTEAR  was  forced  to  invest  in  more  and  better  technology.  Among  the  most 
important technical investments were robotic cameras for TN, the incorporation of virtual sets, and 
augmented reality. 

ARTEAR is the controlling company of Canal 12 of Córdoba, which invests heavily in journalistic and 
entertainment content, with solid audience shares and a good outlook.  

ARTEAR also holds an equity interest in Pol-Ka, which during 2023 continued with the operational 
restructuring planned in previous years.  

IESA 

Inversora de Eventos S.A. continued to exploit the sports audiovisual content generation business 
through its subsidiaries Tele Red Imagen S.A. (TRISA, owner of 50% of the signal TyC Sports), and 
Carburando S.A.U. The latter is engaged in the motor racing business in Argentina, producing multi-
platform audiovisual content. In addition, Inversora de Eventos (IESA) owns 25% of the shares of 
Canal Rural, a local cable signal that produces audiovisual content related to the agricultural sector.  

During 2023, TRISA continued broadcasting sports events, such as the South American qualifiers, 
the Pan American Games, and National B soccer matches. Meanwhile, Carburando maintained the 
coverage  and broadcast  of the country's main  automotive categories,  including  TC2000, TC 2000 
series, and Top Race, among others.

On the other hand, Mitre Informa Primero is still the most awarded radio news service of Argentina.  

La 100 closed the year 2023 leading audience shares, with almost 20 points, which was a record 
high. Its programming combines famous artists and a mix of music and innovative content. During

5.  FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF ITS OPERATIONS 

During this year, the main changes in the Company's financial position and results of its operations 
were the following: 

Working  capital  (current  assets  minus  current  liabilities)  at  year-end  increased  by  $ 1,280  million 
compared  to  the  previous  year,  from  $  2,448  million  to  $  3,728  million.  This  increase  is  primarily 
evidenced by the rise in Other current receivables by $ 1,078 million, a decrease in the Company's 
cash (Cash and banks and certain current investments) by $ 925 million, and the reduction of trade 
and other payables by $ 635 million and Other liabilities by $ 466 million. 

The most significant changes in non-current assets and liabilities were: (i) Investments in companies 
decreased by $9,322 million due to the equity in the net losses of subsidiaries totaling $12,200 million, 
which  were  primarily  generated  in  Arte  Radiotelevisivo  Argentino  S.A.  by  $7,409  million  (loss), 
Inversora de Eventos S.A. by $2,940 million (loss), Radio Mitre S.A. by $1,987 million (loss), and Arte 
Gráfico Editorial Argentino S.A. by $11,053 million (gain), and the increase generated by the equity 
in other comprehensive income of the subsidiaries amounting to $1,848 million. Contributions were 
also made to Inversora de Eventos S.A. for $ 487 million and Radio Mitre S.A. for $ 246 million, and 
an  equity  interest  in  Diario  Los  Andes  Hermanos  Calle  S.A.  was  acquired  for  $  296  million;  (ii) 
Investment Properties decreased mainly due to the effect of amortization for the year; (iii) the increase 
in Other Non-current investments and Other Non-current receivables from related parties is primarily 
due to the increase in the exchange rate; (iv) the increase in Other non-current liabilities is linked to 
the increase in the exchange rate and the debt for the purchase of an equity interest in Diario Los 
Andes Hermanos Calle S.A., described in Note 17 to the separate financial statements. 

The Statement of Income as of December 31, 2023 recorded a net loss of $ 10,547 million. This net 
loss is mainly accounted for by the $ 12,200 million loss generated by the investments in controlled 
companies, the $ 2,556 million gain generated by financial results, and the $ 1,353 million net loss 
generated by administrative expenses net of management fees, and by other income and expense 
amounting to a gain of $452 million.  

Grupo  Clarín  S.A.  is  still  controlled  by  GC  Dominio  S.A.,  which  owns  64.2%  of  its  voting  rights. 
Balances  and  transactions  with  related  parties  are  detailed  in  Note  8  to  the  Separate  Financial 
Statements.

The overall criteria used to appoint managers are based on the background and experience in the 
position and the industry, companies they have worked for, age, professional and moral competence, 
among other factors.  

In  order  to  identify  opportunities  and  streamline  structures  and  systems  with  the  aim  of  improving 
processes and making informed decisions, Grupo Clarín sets forth several procedures and policies 
for controlling the Company's operations. The areas responsible for the Company's internal controls, 
both  at  the  Company  level  and  at  the  level  of  its  subsidiaries  and  affiliates,  contribute  to  the 
safeguarding of shareholders' equity, the reliability of financial information and the compliance with 
laws and regulations. 

Compensation of the Members of the Board of Directors and Senior Management 

The compensation of the members of the Board of Directors is set at the Shareholders' Meeting after 
the closing of each fiscal year, considering the cap established by Article 261 of Law No. 19,550 and 
related regulations of the CNV.  

All  of  Grupo  Clarín's  subsidiaries  have  compensation  arrangements  with  all  of  their  officers  in 
executive and managerial positions, which contemplate a fixed and variable remuneration scheme. 
Fixed compensation is tied to the level of responsibility attached to each position, prevailing market 
salaries and performance. The annual variable component is tied to performance during the fiscal 
year based on the objectives set at the beginning of the year. Grupo Clarín does not have any stock 
option plans in place for its personnel.  

32 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
As mentioned in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on January 1, 2008, Grupo Clarín 
began  to  implement  a  long-term  savings  plan  for  certain  executives  of  Grupo  Clarín  and  its 
subsidiaries. Executives who adhere to such plan regularly contribute a limited portion of their salary 
to  a  fund  that  will  allow  them  to  increase  their  income  at  the  retirement  age.  Furthermore,  each 
company matches the sum contributed by such executives. This matching contribution is added to 
the fund raised by the employees. Under certain conditions, employees can access such fund upon 
retirement  or  upon  termination  of  their  employment  relationship  with  Grupo  Clarín.  This  long-term 
benefit has a strong withholding component and is considered as an integral part of the employee's 
total compensation for comparative  purposes with prevailing market salaries. During 2013, certain 
changes  were  made  to  the  savings  system,  although  its  operation  mechanism  and  the  main 
characteristics with regard to the obligations undertaken by the company were essentially maintained. 

The parameters used in fixing compensations are in line with customary market practices followed by 
companies of the scale of Grupo Clarín. To this end, the Company assesses the relative weight of 
the different positions within the company, as well as the performance of the employee that holds the 
position. In order to assess positions and compare salaries in different markets, the Company uses 
the services and reports of prestigious HR companies at national and international level. 

Annual Shareholders' Meeting  

Grupo Clarín held its Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on April 25, 2023. On this occasion, the 
shareholders  reviewed  and  approved  the  accounting  records  for  fiscal  year  No.  24  ended  on 
December 31, 2022 and the performance and compensation of the members of the Board of Directors 
and the Supervisory Committee. Among other things, the Special Shareholders’ Meetings of Class 
A,  Class  A  and  B  (acting  as  a  single  class),  and  Class  C  appointed  the  permanent  and  alternate 
members of the Board of Directors and of the Supervisory Committee for fiscal year 2023.  

Dividend Policy  

Grupo Clarín does not have a formal dividend policy governing the amount and payment of dividends 
or other distributions. According to its By-laws and the Argentine Corporate Law, Grupo Clarín may 
lawfully  pay  and  make  declarations  of  dividends  only  out  of  the  retained  earnings  stated  in  the 
Company's  annual  Financial  Statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  Argentine  GAAP  and  CNV 
regulations and approved at the Shareholders' Meeting. In such case, dividends must be paid on a 
pro rata basis to all holders of shares of common stock as of the relevant record date.  

Set-up of Reserves  

Pursuant to the Argentine Corporate Law and CNV resolutions, Grupo Clarín is required to set up a 
legal reserve of no less than 5% of each year's retained earnings until such reserve reaches 20% of 
its outstanding capital stock plus the corresponding adjustment. The legal reserve is not available for 
distribution to shareholders. 

Code of Corporate Governance  

In  addition  to  the  aforementioned,  and  in  conformity  with  Resolution  No.  707/2019  issued  by  the 
Argentine  Securities  Commission,  the  Company  prepared  the  Report  on  the  Code  of  Corporate 
Governance  in  accordance  with  Exhibit  III,  Title  IV  of  Chapter  I,  Section  I  of  the  Rules,  which  is 
attached as an exhibit to this Integrated Annual Report.

7.  SUSTAINABILITY 

7.1. SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY  

To satisfy and consolidate the public's right to information, Grupo Clarín offers a complete journalistic 
and entertainment portfolio whose pillars are: rigor, credibility, freedom of expression, and interaction 
with  the  audience.  Since  its  foundation,  Grupo  Clarín  has  worked  responsibly  to  contribute  to  the 
country's sustainable development and creates value from its role as a media company.  

To positively impact society's development, the Group's strategy integrates sustainability into the daily 
actions  of  all  its  business  units  and  bases  its  management  on  the  following  axes:  creation  of 
responsible content, sustainable management in all business units, transparent communication, and 
promotion of diversity. 

7.2. VALUE CREATION MODEL AND FRAMEWORK OF THE INTEGRATED REPORT 

Below  is  an  infographic  reflecting  the  value  creation  model  of  Grupo  Clarín.  It  was  developed  in 
accordance with The International  Framework of the IFRS Foundation.  

The  criteria  of  this  framework  for  the  preparation  of  integrated  reports  introduce  a  six  capitals 
approach in which the organization can create value in the short, medium, and long term: Financial, 
Manufactured, Intellectual,  Human, Social and Relationship, and Natural. In addition to presenting 
the link and contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it expresses 
how, through assets and inputs, and managed activities and topics, the Group creates, preserves, or 
erodes value for the audiences with which it is connected.

7.3. INDEPENDENCE, TRANSPARENCY, AND INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES 

Grupo  Clarín  undertakes  responsibility  for  exercising  and  guaranteeing  rights;  in  this  sense, 
journalistic  independence  allows  it  to  promote  the  strengthening  of  Argentine  democracy,  ensure 
freedom of expression, and secure the organization's sustainability. 

To this  end, the Group implements a series of measures to ensure  unconditioned  news reporting, 
such  as  income  diversity  and  the  separation  of  administrative  from  editorial  functions  to  operate 
independently, thereby avoiding any conflict of interest in content creation. Additionally, it makes a 

35 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
clear distinction between advertising and editorial content in all its media outlets: Clarín has a section 
called “Brand Studio” and TN has “Brand News Team.” In addition, commercial sponsors are tagged 
on social media posts. On Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, the hashtag #BrandNews is used. In this 
way, readers can quickly identify if the content is part of a paid collaboration.  

In stock market terms, Grupo Clarín has been listed on the Buenos Aires stock exchange for 14 years, 
a fact that drives it to generate processes that allow for the transparent disclosure of economic, social, 
environmental,  corporate,  and  governance  information.  Every  year,  the  Group  presents  its  Annual 
Report and Financial Statements, which include the Code of Corporate Governance required by the 
Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), and since 2015, it has published an annual Sustainability 
Report. To advance in terms of best practices related to accountability at a global level, since 2021 
both documents have  been published together and have since been referred to as the “Integrated 
Annual Report”.  

The international guidelines that allow the Group to systematize its economic, social, environmental, 
and governance performance, and to transparently and accurately show its contribution to sustainable 
development include: 

a.  The International  Framework of the IFRS Foundation for the preparation of its Integrated 

Annual Report. 

b.  The Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).  
c.  Contribution to the fulfillment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 
d.  Commitment  to  the  United  Nations  Global  Compact:  It  reports  progress  in  meeting  the  10 

principles on human rights, labor rights, environment, and anti-corruption.  

e.  Adoption  of  the  principles  and  guidelines  of  the  ISO  26000:2010  Standard  on  Social 

Responsibility. 

In 2022, the Group reviewed the Materiality Assessment, considering market best practices and the 
requirements of international guidelines, and developed an internal analysis to understand the main 
impacts  of  the  Company  on  the  economy,  the  environment,  and  people.  The  results  of  this 
assessment allowed us to obtain feedback about our sustainable business management and guide 
our reporting on material topics. 

All  the  information  is  available  on  the  websites  of  Grupo  Clarín  and  of  the  Argentine  Securities 
Commission (CNV). Exhibit I to this Integrated Annual Report includes the Report on Compliance with 
the Code of Corporate Governance of Grupo Clarín S.A. Exhibit II includes the GRI Content Index 
with a detail of the Materiality Assessment performed and the relationship with the contribution to the 
Sustainable  Development  Goals.  The  Company  also  makes  available  different  channels  for 
communication and interaction with our stakeholders.  

7.4. DIALOG AND ALLIANZES  

To promote sustainable development and corporate transparency, Grupo Clarín participates in dialog 
spaces  and  national  and  international  initiatives.  Highlights  include:  the  Institute  for  Business 
Development of Argentina (IDEA), Global Compact Argentina, Argentine Institute of Corporate Social 
Responsibility  (IARSE),  Network  of  Companies  for  Diversity  of  Universidad  Di  Tella,  Group  of 
Foundations  and  Companies  (GDFE),  Interactive  Advertising  Bureau  (IAB)  Argentina,  and  the 
Argentine Advertising Council (CPA).

8.  RESPONSIBLE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT 

8.1. ETHICS AND EDITORIAL GUIDELINES 

The values that unite and guide the teams of Grupo Clarín in content creation and distribution are 
based  on  impartiality,  accuracy  in  the  pursuit  of  truth,  rigor,  responsibility,  fairness,  respect,  and 
independence. Among the publications that support this imprint of the Group are: the journalistic style 
manuals of Clarín, La Voz del Interior, and Radio Mitre; the web content practices manual of Clarín 
and a guide for adapting the current style manual to writing in a youth-oriented language on social 
networks of La Voz del Interior; the guide for journalistic work on social networks in Clarín and La Voz 
del Interior; and the ten-point operation guide at Los Andes.  

In addition, all the business units of the Group follow specific guidelines to address content related to 
freedom of expression; the pursuit of pluralism; information verification; preservation of the identity of 
journalistic  sources;  protection  of  children  and  adolescents  in  the  news  context;  safeguarding  of 
witnesses  and  whistleblowers;  prohibition  of  explicit  images  of  situations  of  violence  and  bullying; 
prioritization of institutional order in social upheavals; and collaboration with the search for missing 
persons and visibility of aid services, in compliance with the legislation.  

Both  on  screen  and  across  each  of  our  platforms,  we  aim  to  guarantee  freedom  of  expression  by 
offering  a  multitude  of  perspectives  and  approaches  so  that  audiences  can  have  relevant  and 
pertinent elements to construct their own hypotheses and conclusions. We continue to propose and 
seek new attractive formats that allow for a familiarization with elusive content —without impoverishing 
the content—, even through humor. 

Furthermore, the privacy and conditions of journalistic sources are respected. In terms of audiovisual 
content, various technical resources are used across all platforms if an interviewee requires protection 
(such as blurring of image, voice distortion, defocusing during live interviews, or with the interviewees’ 
back turned to the camera). 

On the other hand, all content is protected under the National Intellectual Property Law to safeguard 
intellectual property and copyright. Trademarks are registered, and credit is given to various sources 
if their materials are used.  In this context, we conduct a constant monitoring and, if we detect any 
violation of these rules by third parties, claims are brought by the legal firms that represent the Group 
to rectify the situation.  

It should be noted that the newspapers Clarín, Los Andes, and La Voz del Interior, as well  as the 
website TN.com.ar, adhere to the Decalogue of the Argentine Press developed by the Association of 
Argentine  Journalistic  Entities  (ADEPA),  and  the  Letter  of  Aspirations  of  the  Inter-American  Press 
Association (SIP).  

Additionally, Grupo Clarín participates in the following entities: Association of Argentine Journalistic 
Entities  (ADEPA,  for  its  Spanish  acronym),  Inter-American  Press  Association  (IAPA),  The  World 
Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-INFRA), Argentine Association of Television 
and Radio Broadcasters (ATA, for its Spanish acronym), Association of Editors of Newspapers of the 
City of Buenos Aires (AEDBA, for its Spanish acronym), Association of Newspapers of the Interior of 
the Argentine Republic (ADIRA, for its Spanish acronym), Argentine Business Association (AEA, for

8.2. EDITORIAL INNOVATION AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION  

During 2023, Grupo Clarín offered broad multi-platform coverage with innovative formats, expanding 
the reach of digital audiences and training work teams in new tools. 

It  should  be  noted  that  the  World  Association  of  Newspapers  and  News  Publishers  (WAN-IFRA) 
recognized Clarín as the news site with the "Best Digital Subscription Strategy in the world," within 
the context of the World Media Congress held in Taipei, Taiwan. The jury highlighted Clarín as "one 
of  the  true  innovators  in  the  world  of  digital  subscription,"  with  the  highest  number  of  subscribers 
globally and the first media outlet in Argentina to develop this model in 2017. 

As a novelty in innovation, in 2023, the company introduced the possibility to access, in all articles on 
Clarin.com,  a  series  of  automatic  editing  tools  made  through  Artificial  Intelligence  by  the  reading 
assistant UalterAI. This assistant generates condensed texts, reorganizes information, and extracts 
data  and  numbers  with  the  aim  of  providing  complementary  alternatives  to  the  original  text  of  an 
article. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  print  edition  of  Clarín  introduced  a  new  design  to  provide  a  better  reading 
experience, with more and better journalistic content. Thus, readers have access to a newspaper that 
is "cleaner" and features an exclusive design typography.  

Additionally, during 2023, Clarín renewed its social media presence with the goal of reinforcing the 
brand image on social platforms, rebuilding digital audience, deepening journalistic commitment, and 
positioning the newspaper as one of the most competitive in attracting sponsors on platforms. A total 
image redesign was conducted aligned with the new editorial proposal of the website, and the offer of 
"exclusive content for subscribers" was emphasized to support the company's subscription strategy 
and strengthen the message in digital communities.  

In the Meta ecosystem, Clarín managed to position itself with 9.30 million followers as the second-
largest  community  compared  to  the  competition,  allowing  it  to  address  the  constant  algorithmic 
changes that affect the platforms. It launched the WhatsApp channel, a direct way to present topics 
and news to readers. It was among the first media in the country to launch this new platform, which 
has more than 500,000 subscribers. In addition, it began to explore the audience on TikTok, merging 
real-time coverage with its own content, surpassing 20 million "likes." 

In 2023, La Voz del Interior achieved a 59% increase in digital subscriptions, driven by a strong boost 
in  corporate  subscriptions.  The  commenting  on  its  articles  was  enhanced  through  the  Viafoura 
system, with training for editors and writers to interact with and moderate comments. Additionally, a 
new communication channel  was  incorporated:  WhatsApp channels for  La  Voz, La Voz Negocios, 
and La Voz store. It also launched a La Voz app, open to the general public and offering exclusive 
proposals for subscribers. Moreover, the perspective of UX (user experience) was incorporated within 
the audience Marketing area, with the aim of improving navigability, interaction, and usability of its 
products. 

TN  implemented  a  wall  to  register  users,  thus  offering  them  specific  experiences  and  actions. 
Additionally,  several  new  editorial  offerings  of  newsletters  were  launched,  reaching  a  base  of  one 
million users segmented by interests. One notable example is "TODAY," featuring the day's top news, 

38 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
which is sent to a base of 800,000 people (from Sunday to Thursday) and maintains an average open 
rate of 20%.  

In social media, TN consolidated its leadership by reaching 4 million followers on TikTok. Furthermore, 
it made its debut on WhatsApp with new broadcast channels and was the first Argentine news outlet 
to  reach  one  million  subscribers.  Its  ability  to  connect  with  a  diverse  audience  and  maintain  its 
commitment through new cutting-edge formats and content reflects its vision and innovative prowess. 
In the region, TN's account was ranked within the Top 5 news media with the most followers in Latin 
America.  

In 2023, eltrece joined the process of content distribution and generation on social networks with AI 
tools  that  optimized  its  performance.  On  Instagram  and  TikTok,  they  redefined  their  strategy  to 
achieve greater reach, and on Twitch, they launched a clipping and streaming strategy. Among the 
new streaming products aimed at young audiences and with extensive user participation in their own 
communities, the highlights include: Viernes Trece, Prueba Piloto, and special contents. On YouTube, 
it reached 1 trillion views (annual cumulative) and more than 12.7 million subscribers.  

On  the  other  hand,  eltrecetv.com  sends  5  weekly  newsletters  to  137,000  users  to  promote  all  its 
journalistic and exclusive content offerings. The introduction of the Arc publisher, a software platform 
from  The  Washington  Post,  allowed  for:  streamlining  processes  and  methodologies,  committing  to 
innovation through design, rethinking content publication, and improving user experience; all aimed 
at  consolidating  it  as  a  competitive  video  platform.  Additionally,  the  incorporation  of  Marfeel,  as  a 
measurement tool, allows for a deeper analysis of metrics to optimize the performance of all content, 
responding to the demands and recommendations suggested by the market.  

In  2023,  eldoce  began  the  process  of  relaunching  its  portal  alongside  the  product,  design,  and 
development  teams  from  ARTEAR,  which  also  includes  the  transition  to  the  ARC  publisher. 
Additionally, it added a new streaming channel (Cuarteteando Más) on the YouTube platform.  

TyC Sports produces content with a multi-platform base and a fully integrated aesthetic and artistic 
line. In 2023, it added functionalities to record user preferences based on the categories they browse. 
Furthermore,  it  incorporated  streaming  via  YouTube  with  alternative  content  to  that  offered  in  the 
traditional  programming  during  specific  events  like  Argentina  national  soccer  team  matches,  Inter 
Miami, or Libertadores Cup. 

Radio Mitre began broadcasting on YouTube almost 24 hours a day, thus responding to new market 
demands. In addition, the contents generated on-air by the radio are disseminated on social media 
platforms. 

During  2023,  La  100  strengthened  its  online  subscription  model,  regularly  sending  content  to 
subscribers. Furthermore, the company relaunched the Cienradios app, where all content from the 
Cienradios universe can be found, including Radio Mitre and Radio La 100. “La 100 Live” on Twitch 
began  an  image  renewal  process  and  the  space  for  short  videos  on  platforms  such  as  YouTube 
Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok was consolidated to generate an impact on subscriptions and 
channel views. 

8.3. OUTSTANDING INVESTIGATIONS AND CONTENT 

Supported  by  the  Reproductive  Health,  Rights,  and  Justice  in  the  Americas  initiative  of  the 
International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) during 2023, the report “Abortion, uterine cancer, 
and discrimination: stories in a border hospital” published by Clarín was awarded by ADEPA. In this 

39 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
work, journalists Jazmín Bazán and Rocío Magnani addressed what access to sexual rights is like in 
Tartagal, a city whose population is largely poor and from indigenous communities. 

In the Sunday supplement Clarín Viva, exclusive details were revealed about the secret declarations 
of agents from the Argentine Federal Intelligence Agency (SIDE, for its Spanish acronym) regarding 
the day prosecutor Alberto Nisman was killed. Additionally, a special report was made about the new 
Digital  Services  Act  (DSA)  in  the  European  Union,  which  holds  BigTech  and  other  key  players 
accountable for the content published, and its potential impact on Argentina.  

Furthermore,  Clarín  conducted  an  exhaustive  coverage  of  the  conflict  between  Israel  and  Hamas. 
Following the terrorist attack by Hamas, Marcelo Cantelmi, the chief editor of the international section, 
traveled to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Sderot between October and November 2023 to report on the 
events up close.  

At the same time, "TN in Israel: once again, witnesses of terror" was led by Nelson Castro. With the 
intention  of  being  the  Argentine  eyes  on  the  most  important  events  in  the  world,  the  news  area 
organized a complex trip to the epicenter of the conflict. Upon his return, the report "What I Lived in 
Ukraine: A Journey to the Heart of the War, by Nelson Castro" was broadcast, recounting firsthand 
the days spent on the frontline. eldoce also participated in this coverage.  

TN broadcast a special report called "Mission Antarctica: TN in the country's last corner," true to its 
federal imprint. In 2023, it continued to travel across the country and chose Argentine Antarctica as 
its first destination. In addition to the broadcasts on the TN and eltrece news programs, the coverage 
included special productions on social networks to share with new audiences. 

Two  national  fictions  produced  by  eltrece  were  aired  during  prime  time  in  broadcast  television.  It 
premiered "Buenos chicos," a series by Pol-Ka, which shares the screen with the second season of 
"Argentina, Land  of  Love  and  Vengeance" (ATAV). Thus, eltrece reaffirms its commitment  to  local 
production, being also the only one to feature fiction in its programming. 

In another vein, Olé conducted an exclusive interview to Lionel Messi at his home in Paris. In the first 
hour of the interview on Olé's YouTube channel, it reached 100,000 views and in the various TikTok 
snippets, more than 300,000. 

8.4. INTERACTION WITH AUDIENCES AND READERS 

Grupo Clarín continues to encourage various spaces for audience participation to promote freedom 
of expression, respect for diversity, and pluralism. In this sense, it gives a voice to communities with 
a firm commitment to the creation of local content. 

We interact with our audiences on a daily basis, be it through social media, live polls, emails, letters 
from readers, or telephone calls. As the main or secondary source, we conduct a verification process 
to avoid the dissemination of fake news. 

Grupo  Clarín  is  present  throughout  the  country  through  zonal  verticals,  regional  sites,  broadcast

semana. Additionally, it shifted the focus of Cine y series; Buena vida y viajes, tu último destino; to 
author newsletters with greater depth. It also developed new formats to tell and show stories related 
to specific topics of interest to readers, such as “Una noche en la ópera”.  

La  Voz  del  Interior  now  features  five  new  newsletters  (reaching  a  total  of  20)  focused  on  specific 
themes, promoting direct exchange between authors and their audience.  

TN continues its commitment through new formats and avant-garde content reflecting its vision and 
innovative  prowess.  The  channel's  account  ranked  within  the  Top  5  news  media  with  the  most 
followers in Latin America. 

To engage the audience, eltrecetv.com offers a registration form for viewers who want to participate 
in the channel's TV programs, as well as a live voting system so they can participate in the program

Similarly, listeners of Radio La 100 have spaces to ask questions, share their stories, and participate 
in  charitable  actions  in  programs  like  “Atardecer  solidario”  (Charitable  Sunset)  or  “Historias 
compartidas” (Shared Stories).  

8.5. SOCIAL COVERAGE 

In  2023,  in  a  context  of  economic  uncertainty,  Grupo  Clarín's  media  outlets  conducted  coverage 
focused on the concerns of Argentines.  

Clarín was the only media outlet to achieve interviews from the prison with the three main leaders of 
cocaine trafficking in Rosario, protagonists of the war that has caused nearly 300 deaths this year 
alone  and  2,000  over  a  decade.  "Why  Does  Rosario  Bleed?",  a  documentary  that  seeks  to  show, 
understand,  and  explain  the  most  alarming  phenomenon  of  criminal  violence  that  Argentina  has 
experienced for ten years.  

At the same time, the weekly section "Mundos Íntimos" invites the audience to be moved by small 
and big everyday stories, portrayed in the first person by their protagonists. And the weekly section 
"Contámelo otra vez" tells the audience about the present situation of the protagonists of great stories 
and their anonymous heroes who still, over time, continue to move us. 

Clarín  continued  with  the  quarterly  CSR  supplement  covering  social,  environmental,  economic 
inclusion, and development issues. 

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
  
  
  
On the other hand, La Voz del Interior continues with the interview series "Héroes y heroínas" (Heroes 
and Heroines), dedicated to portraying outstanding individuals from the community, with productions 
of  articles,  photos,  and  videos.  And  starting  in  2023,  it  began  printing  the  monthly  magazine  “La 
Luciérnaga” at its printing plant, which is produced by the foundation of the same name and then sold 
by children in vulnerable situations, who benefit from the proceeds.  

To  highlight  Argentine  culture,  TN.com.ar  publishes  news  and  covers  topics  in  various  programs, 
networks, and platforms about national rock and launched an interview series focused on breaking 
down prejudices with famous figures.  

Social concerns revolved around high inflation and poverty. Beyond economic announcements, there 
is always empathy with audiences through inspiring content like the “Resistiré” (I Will Resist) section, 
where stories of Argentinians who do not give up and keep going despite everything are shared. With 
“Misión Argentina” (Mission Argentina), a coverage by Paula Bernini and her team and as part of the 
celebration  of  TN's  30  years,  they  traveled  for  28  days  from  Ushuaia  to  La  Quiaca,  covered  11 
provinces and 5,080 kilometers, highlighting the richness of Argentina. TN relaunched “Esta  es mi 
villa” (This is My Slum), the program in which Julio Bazán visits slums and settlements across the 
country to discover stories of people who are overcoming poverty. . 

Eldoce  once  again  supported  various  organizations  and  took  part  in  the  “Medical  Personnel 
Recognition  Campaign”  alongside  the  Medical  Council  of  the  Province  of  Córdoba  and  “The  10 
Outstanding Young People of the Year” organized by the Córdoba Stock Exchange. 

TyC Sports, through the program "Jugando es Mejor" (Playing is Better), promoted the importance of 
sports in the lives of children, adolescents, and women for their social inclusion. The main goal was 
to  collaborate  in  the  prevention  of  social  issues  such  as  addictions,  early  pregnancies,  domestic 
violence, and obesity and overweight. 

With the support of Fundación Noble, the  Argentine  Soccer Association, along  with  Red  Solidaria, 
joined efforts and took advantage of the friendly match of the Argentine National Soccer Team to bring 
visibility to the images of 99 missing children. Their photos were projected on the stadium screens 
and  during  the  TyC  Sports  broadcast.  Additionally,  the  media  outlets  of  Grupo  Clarín  donated 
advertising space to spread the campaign. 

Radio  Mitre continues  to support victims  in situations of crisis and emergencies. Beyond reporting 
facts, it provides information on donation or aid points, disseminates prevention actions, and forms 
alliances with social organizations involved in these contexts.  

Radio  La  100  features  various  spaces  for  social  coverage.  In  the  program  "Atardecer  solidario" 
(Charitable  Sunset),  Sergio  Lapegüe  dedicates  a  segment  to  introducing  those  individuals, 
organizations,  foundations,  or  groups  that  work  every  day  to  assist  those  in  need.  Additionally,  in 
"Historias compartidas" (Shared Stories), he leads an audiovisual section where he shares life stories 
and  tales  of  sacrifice.  In  "Derecho  en  zapatillas"  (Law  in  Sneakers),  the  renowned  lawyer  Sergio 
Mohadeb  offers  tools  to  tackle  legal  issues,  promoting  a  space  for  learning  about  the  rights  and 
obligations of all citizens. And on “No está todo dicho” (Not Everything’s Been Said), Andy Freire, a 
renowned  entrepreneur  with  a  strong  commitment  to  innovation,  participates  in  the  program  with 
advice and updates about the world of entrepreneurship. The podcast “Sentirse bien” (Feeling Good), 
hosted by Pedro Labattaglia, features activities and tips for a better quality of life, and in “Equilibrio 
emocional”  (Emotional  Balance),  psychologist  Analía  Tarasiewicz  offers  advice  for  the  workplace. 
Finally, in “Click en Coco” (Click in the Brain), Martín Daulerio provides recommendations for leading 

42 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
a  more  balanced  and  healthy  life,  and  in  “La  nutrición  no  es  sarasa”  (Nutrition  is  Not  Nonsense), 
Nutritionist Romina Pereiro shares her advice and information for a healthier diet.  

8.6. PROMOTION OF DIVERSITY 

Grupo Clarín adheres to the Principles for Women's Empowerment and the "Media Compact, Let's 
Take  a  Step  for  Equality,"  both  from  UN  Women,  to  contribute  to  the  eradication  of  inequalities 
between men and women.  

In 2019, Clarín became a pioneer in Latin America by appointing Mariana Iglesias as gender editor. 
In 2023, it continued with its weekly newsletter for subscribers called “En nuestras palabras” (In Our 
Own Words) about gender, injustices, inequalities, and progress, in addition to its columns and news 
in the newspaper on this topic.  

La Voz del Interior added a newsletter on gender and diversity topics produced by journalist Virginia 
Digón. On the other hand, it continues with the directory of female sources, experts in various fields, 
to achieve source parity in articles. 

TN, with  Paula García, introduced on Telenoche “Loros Parlantes” (Talking Parrots), a confidence 
workshop  that  breaks  down  barriers  and  gives  young  people  and  adults  with  different  abilities  the 
opportunity to express themselves and develop in a society that often closes doors. 

Additionally,  eldoce  conducted  a  series  of  special  interviews  to  commemorate  Pride  Month  and  in 
defense  of  diversity  and  gender  equality.  It  also  prioritized  the  inclusion  of  women  in  work  teams, 
whether as columnists or producers.  

TyC Sports broadcast and published content with a gender perspective that promotes inclusion and 
diversity  through  the  program  "Jugando  es  Mejor"  (Playing  is  Better).  In  terms  of  programming,  it 
included the female practice of professional sports in contracts and alliances for the broadcasting of 
international sports competitions  in: judo (world championships and grand slams), FIG gymnastics 
(world  championships),  Argentina  Open  Tennis,  ITF  Tennis  (Davis  Cup  and  BJKC),  IHF  Handball 
(world championships), IAAF Athletics (World Championships and Diamond League), National and 
International Boxing, and Libertadores Cup. 

In 2023, La 100 continued the podcast "Mujeres que inspiran" (Women Who Inspire) hosted by Julieta 
Prandi, which features the life and work of women who have become agents of change and left an 
indelible mark on society globally. This space aims to raise awareness about the role of women in 
society to continue working towards a more inclusive world.  

Additionally,  special  audiovisual  projects  were  carried  out  to  promote  diversity,  inclusion,  and  a 
plurality of voices within Argentine society. Such is the case of the special on "Racism in our society"; 
what is fatphobia, body diversity, and the role of the clothing size law; and the audiovisual capsules 
in collaboration with Fundación Huésped to raise awareness about HIV. 

We always disseminate information in all our platforms about the services available for people needing 
help: 144 for victims of gender-based violence, 137 for cases of abuse and gender-based violence. 
141 for addictions, 135 for suicide prevention, 149 for victims of road accidents, among others.

8.7. CIVIC INVOLVEMENT AND PUBLIC DEBATE 

Grupo  Clarín  always  seeks  to  ensure  that  professional  rigor  feeds  public  debate,  especially  in  an 
election year. A serious debate is promoted, along with the widest range of perspectives on different 
themes so that audiences can make their own analyses. 

Elections 

Clarín  covered  the  elections  with  minute-by-minute  updates  on  its  website,  social  media,  and 
published  behind-the-scenes  videos  of  the  events  on  its  YouTube  channel.  In  its  print  and  online 
editions, it published an exclusive interview with Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox, who came to 
the country to attend the inauguration. This had a strong impact on Spanish politics and the press. 

The  day  after  the  PASO  (Primary,  Open,  Simultaneous,  and  Mandatory  elections),  across  all  its 
platforms,  Clarín  provided  the  most  in-depth  analysis  of  the  results,  from  the  new  composition  of 
Congress, potential scenarios leading up to the runoff, economic effects, international repercussions, 
a comparison with the PASO, and a map with the percentage of votes in each borough. Additionally, 
Alejandro Borensztein's "political humor" column remained popular, and throughout 2023, it sought to 
make political analysis of the campaigns and elections more accessible, achieving a record audience 
on the website. 

La Voz del Interior promoted and organized a debate among candidates vying for seats in the National 
Congress, an event that was held in agreement with El Doce in the studios of this channel.  

In November, a month marked by the presidential runoff, TN once again became the most-watched 
cable  channel  in  Argentine  television,  surpassing  all  its  national  and  international  competitors.  In 
addition  to  outstanding  journalistic  work,  TN  deployed  significant  technical  resources  to  provide 
comprehensive information and cover the minute-by-minute events of the runoff held on November 
19. On the other hand, the vice-presidential candidates Victoria Villarruel and Agustín Rossi chose 
the program "A dos voces” to debate their positions ahead of the electoral decision. On YouTube, 
there  were  two  simultaneous  broadcasts  of  the  debate,  with  peaks  of  140,000  concurrent  users 
between both streams.  

"Decisión  23,"  the  joint  broadcast  by  TN  and  eltrece,  led  the  television  election  coverage  with  an 
average rating of 12.8 points and peaks of 15.6 points. The coverage involved 35 journalists in the 
studio, 14 at the candidates' headquarters, 20 reporters on the street, and 15 satellite trucks. 

On  December  10,  Argentina  celebrated  40  years  of  democracy  with  the  inauguration  of  a  new 
president. With ceremonies at the Congress, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Casa Rosada, and Teatro 
Colón, Argentinians could follow all the details through the Group's media outlets. From 7 am to 10 
pm, TN was the most-watched channel on television.  

During the presidential inauguration, TN carried out a special broadcast and coverage on the web and 
social networks, where there were more than 100 million video views related to the coverage of Milei's 
inauguration.  

Radio  Mitre  carried  out  special  broadcasts,  such  as  covering  the  three  presidential  debates,  and 
hosted a program led by Tato Young with the participation of Eduardo Feinmann, Alfredo Leuco, and 
Miguel  Wiñazki.  Additionally,  on  Friday,  during  the  program  “Alguien  tiene  que  decirlo”,  Eduardo 
Feinmann exclusively interviewed the former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. And on the Sunday 
44 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
the  PASO (primary elections) were held, it conducted a special broadcast throughout the day that 
involved all of its hosts. 

Radio La 100 created the tag “Elections 2023” within its site to easily find all related news. It covered 
the presidential elections and, through the “Derecho en zapatillas” column, kept the public informed 
about their general rights and obligations.  

Democracy 

Clarín organized the fifth edition of "Democracy and Development." The theme for 2023 was “40 years 
of  democracy:  the  pending  agenda  in  an  electoral  year.”  This  series  addresses  the  institutional, 
economic, and social challenges of Argentina with a plural and long-term perspective. Like previous 
editions,  it  was  held  in  the  auditorium  of  the  Malba  Museum  with  the  participation  of  academics, 
specialists,  and  politicians,  coordinated  by  Clarín  journalists.  There  were  two  meetings  in  which 
representatives from the three most-voted political forces debated alongside representatives of the 
business world, unions, the third sector, and academia on central issues for the future of Argentina: 
its economic stability to regain growth, its international insertion, and the challenge of managing social 
assistance and the creation of formal employment. 

Additionally, two students from the Clarín Master's in Journalism, Malena Martos and Candela Toledo, 
developed  a  joint  classroom-newsroom  project  for  the  40  years  of  democracy:  “Children  of 
Democracy: stories of those born on the same day Alfonsín took office.” 

Eldoce  carried  out  "40  Years  of  Democracy,"  a  series  of  special  reports  on  the  program  Arriba 
Córdoba to inform young people about the return of democracy.  

La  Voz  del  Interior,  in  partnership  with  En  Vivo  Producciones,  opened  an  exhibition  of  journalistic 
archives,  artworks,  and  music  to  celebrate  40  years  of  democracy.  It  also  produced  "40  Years  of 
Democracy" featuring articles, a podcast about "40 Years of Festivals," and content from students of 
the University College of Journalism.  

For the third consecutive year, Clarín organized the "The World Ahead" lecture series, in which 10 
debates  were  held  to  understand  the  keys  to  the  future.  Analysts,  executives,  researchers, 
representatives from both the private and public sectors, as well as from the social sector, discussed 
trends  shaping  our  country:  Companies  reinventing  themselves  in  the  face  of  new  scenarios; 
Producing  sustainably;  Digital  agriculture:  the  future  is  now;  The  best  company  to  work  for;  More 
competitive gas and oil; How healthcare is financed; Mining, an opportunity for Argentina; Research 
and technology; What to do with my money; Renewable energy is growing strongly. 

8.8. ACCESSIBILITY AND PROTECTION OF VULNERABLE AUDIENCES 

Grupo  Clarín  applies  strict  content  controls  to  ensure  children  and  adolescents  access  age-
appropriate content and offers the public various tools to make its content offering accessible.  

All the Group's media outlets avoid close-ups of children and adolescents in risky situations. Their 
images  are  distorted  in  cases  where  they  are  involved  in  criminal  cases,  and  to  protect  them,  the 
publication of the identity of relatives and other identifying information is avoided. 

All the subsidiaries of Grupo Clarín comply with the law for the protection of minors and vulnerable 
audiences. This entails: a child protection separator at 10 p.m., INCAA (National Institute of Cinema 
and Audiovisual Arts) plaques indicating the suitable age for contents, warnings when the content is 
45 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
  
  
not suitable for children or adolescents, warnings about potentially inappropriate, offensive, sensitive, 
or harmful content, and clarification on the differentiation between facts and fiction when relevant. The 
audience is forewarned about the type of content to be aired with notices in the form of banners or 
videographs indicating that they contain 'sensitive content.' Radio Mitre also warns the public about 
potentially  inappropriate,  offensive,  sensitive,  or  harmful  content,  both  on  the  radio  and  in  digital 
content. 

To  ensure  everyone  has  access  to  content,  eltrece  employs  simultaneous  subtitling  (closed 
captioning) in live programs to allow individuals with deafness, hearing loss, or auditory difficulties to 
be  part  of  the  audience.  Additionally,  it  offers  audio  description  for  blind  or  visually  impaired 
individuals,  and  interpretation.  Children's  and  general  interest  programs  on  eltrece  also  have  sign 
language interpretation.  

Radio Mitre includes subtitling in many audiovisual contents available on the web and social media, 
to make them accessible. The feature "text to speech", which consists of a robot reading the news out 
loud, is available on the websites of Radio La 100. La Voz del Interior uses Audima, a service that 
facilitates access for blind  individuals  to  its digital content  in  audible  format. During 2023, 358,881 
articles were listened to, 291,187 on mobile devices and 66,697 on desktop computers.

9.  CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS 

In  2023,  Grupo  Clarín  continued  to  survey,  listen  to,  and  manage  the  opinions  of  audiences, 
customers, and suppliers through various channels with the goal of maintaining a close relationship. 
At all times, it prioritized the security and protection of data to ensure its confidentiality and integrity. 

9.1. CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION 

Through various tools, constant work is done on the continuous improvement of customer service. 
These  include  business  contacts,  email,  WhatsApp  messages,  and  phone  calls.  Additionally,  the 
website offers forms for customers to share their opinions. All these channels are centralized in Grupo 
Clarín's customer service center and managed through CRM (Customer Relationship Management) 
- a set of practices, business strategies, and technologies focused on customer relations.  

A new tool implemented and used during 2023 was HubSpot, a platform with all the integrations and 
resources  needed  to  connect  with  marketing,  sales,  content  management,  and  customer  service 
teams. Training sessions were conducted on networking, dynamic meetings, emotional management 
guidance, motivation, and customer-centric culture, among others. 

With a focus on continuing to provide quality products and services, the Spanish technology company 
“Hiberus” and Grupo Clarín, through its companies AGEA and Gestión Compartida, joined forces to 
create  a  new  company:  Hiberus  Argentina.  This  alliance  aims  to  maximize  the  experience  and 
resources of each partner to drive innovation and growth in the Latin American technology market. 

Throughout the year, the Company carried out the program Espacio Conexión to continue enhancing 
commercial relationships through various activities. In this way, it sought to promote an environment 
conducive to business development, professional training, and networking, bringing together the most 
important  companies  in  the  region.  The  magazine  Espacio  Conexión  was  launched,  a  platform 
created to share the latest news and trends  in Technology, Management,  Human Resources,  and 
Economics for today's businesses. It helps to better understand the complexities of technology and 
offers  content  related  to  business  management,  effective  leadership,  and  human  resources 
development, providing ideas and strategies that can be implemented in organizations.  

As  part  of  its  loyalty  program,  during  2023,  Clarín  added  benefits  from  the  leading  brands  in  the 
categories  most  valued  by  its  members,  such  as  fuel,  tourism,  ice  cream  shops,  and  gastronomy. 
Additionally, "Alerta 365" actions were carried out, through which exclusive market benefits of up to 
50%  were  offered  every  week,  adding  to  the  special  actions  on  each  significant  date  of  the  year. 
Currently, the 365 Program has more than 700 brands and 8,000 affiliated stores across the country 
in all market segments. 

In 2023, the customer service satisfaction rate for La Voz del Interior was 96%, with a response rate 
of 68%, and a resolution rate of 91%. In June, the satisfaction survey and NPS (Net Promoter Score, 
an indicator that measures customer satisfaction) were implemented through the WhatsApp channel, 
achieving a satisfaction rate of 74%, a resolution rate of 76%, and an NPS of 58%. Additionally, the 
flow  of  communication  with  subscribers  was  optimized  by  incorporating  WhatsApp  messages  to 
advise,  improve  the  browsing  experience,  and  prevent  cancellations.  Automatic  processes  for 
payment improvement, new subscriptions, and retention were implemented, allowing for an enhanced 
user experience and profitability, thus avoiding customer loss.

Club La Voz is the most significant benefits program in Córdoba, offering readers discounts of up to 
50% at over 1,000 sales points, with all payment methods available. Each subscriber has access to 
many categories, including gastronomy, clothing, travel, cinemas, supermarkets, home goods, fuel, 
and automotive. There are more than 100,000 affiliated stores in the program. Additionally, members 
have  access  to  exclusive  experiences,  such  as  theater  plays,  raffles,  courses,  and  many  more 
benefits.  

On the other hand, throughout the year, the companies of Grupo Clarín carried out actions to minimize 
risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The policies, procedures, and regulatory 
frameworks that govern and regulate access to data are subject to an annual review that allows for 
adjustments  based  on  the  requirements  included  in  the  Personal  Data  Protection  Law  (Law  No. 
25,326). All the services provided by Gestión Compartida comply with the international ISO 27001 
information security standard. Continuous improvements are made, such as the migration to the S4 
cloud system in 2023, hosted on SAP. 

9.2. VALUE CHAIN 

The  Group  promotes  sustainable  management  throughout  its  value  chain.  In  this  sense,  100%  of 
active  suppliers  signed,  in  2023  through  Gestión  Compartida,  the  Letter  of  Commitment  to 
Sustainability within purchase orders.  

Suppliers commit to managing their own business with a focus on sustainability, complying with all 
applicable  laws,  respecting  human  rights,  equal  opportunities,  and  environmental  care,  combating 
corruption, and eliminating any possibility of forced or child labor.

TEAM MANAGEMENT 

Among the initiatives to strengthen the team management of all the Group's units, the following stand 
out:  

Success Factors Platform (SSFF) 

Grupo Clarín continues to manage its human resources through the Success Factors Platform, with 
all  its  modules  updated  semi-annually  to  provide  the  best  service  to  employees.  It  launched  the 
Intelligent Talent Hub, an update that the system offers to enhance the profiles of each employee, 
and it was integrated into the Teams network.  

Employer Brand  

While  the  employer  brand  project  is  under  review,  as  part  of  the  onboarding  process,  the  Group 
assigned 54 licenses to access the platform that manages the entry of employees. New employees 
can thus consult relevant content linked to the history, values, principles, and constitution of the Group.  

Clarín carried out initiatives related to job fairs alongside various universities, with the aim of promoting 
the employer brand. It also participated in the Nerdearla event, the largest science and technology 
conference in Latin America organized by the Sysarmy community, focusing on technological profiles. 
Gestión Compartida redesigned the aesthetic on social networks such as Instagram and LinkedIn, to 
strengthen organizational quality and talent attraction. 

Radio  Mitre  continues  with  in-person  inductions  for  new  hires.  This  activity  includes  a  general 
presentation  of  the  radio's  structure  and  its  products,  a  tour  of  the  facilities,  and  the  delivery  of  a 
welcome kit.    

10.2. 

INTEGRITY PROGRAM 

Grupo Clarín promotes diversity both in its work teams and in content generation. Therefore, no form 
of  discrimination  related  to  gender,  disability,  age,  ideology,  culture,  physical  appearance,  health, 
sexual orientation and gender identity, religion, socioeconomic vulnerability, family situation, or marital 
status is accepted.  

The Group monitors pay equity, and corporate areas maintain the same salary scales for positions 
without distinction of gender, sexual orientation, race, age, and religion. This point is a fundamental 
pillar pursued in all the Group's business units. 

45% of the Corporate Areas' workforce are women.

The Group has additional policies that provide for leaves beyond legal requirements for all corporate 
area employees, including extended maternity leave, part-time or 4-hour workdays for up to 6 months 
after the baby's birth, and extended paternity leave for 15 consecutive days. It is also worth mentioning 
that Clarín has a lactation room specially recognized for its level of excellence by the Government of 
the City of Buenos Aires.  

Furthermore,  throughout  the  year,  the  Group  continued  to  internally  disseminate  the  Workplace 
Violence Protocol across all business units. Additionally, all Human Resources teams were trained in 
four  sessions  that  covered  various  topics  such  as  workplace  violence,  gender  violence,  sexual 
diversity, and diversity and inclusion. Clarín continued to promote awareness of inclusion among its 
leaders.  

Through various internal communication channels, throughout the year, Clarín, La Voz del Interior, 
eldoce,  TyC  Sports,  and  Gestión  Compartida  disseminated  the  Workplace  Violence  Protocol;  and 
developed activities and training to sensitize their teams on the subject. Radio Mitre also conducted 
training in diversity and gender along with the Association Mujeres como Vos. 

Moreover, as part of Grupo Clarín's commitment to labor inclusion, throughout the year, Clarín, La 
Voz del Interior, Los Andes, and Radio Mitre continued with internship programs that promote youth 
employment.  

10.3. 

COMMUNICATION AND DIALOG 

To promote communication and dialog with the internal audience, we hold team meetings and talks 
with  leaders.  We  also  establish  systematic  communication  through  various  channels  such  as 
newsletters,  mailing systems, digital bulletin boards,  and the internal social  network Teams, which 
continues to grow.  

During 2023, Grupo Clarín implemented BOT HR, a chatbot for the corporate areas that automatically 
responds to inquiries related to Human Resources and Institutional matters.  

In  2023,  the  Internal  Opinion  Survey  (IOS)  was  conducted  across  all  business  units  with  a  77% 
participation  rate  and  a  70%  satisfaction  level  to  gather  employee  opinions  and  implement 
improvement actions.  

To promote a positive work environment within its teams, Grupo Clarín and several of its business 
units  celebrated  special  dates  such  as  Easter,  Friend's  Day,  Spring  Day,  Secretary's  Day,  winter

THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN EDUCATION 

Throughout its history, Fundación Noble has renewed and strengthened its foundational commitment 
by implementing programs and actions focused on the current challenges of education in our country, 
raising awareness on health issues, culture development, and community engagement. Furthermore, 
it encourages the critical and creative reading of media content, while establishing a solid foundation 
in teacher training related to the use of media and digital technologies. 

In  this  context,  through  the  "Media  in  Education"  program  in  2023,  more  than  3,600  teachers  and 
students  from  teaching  colleges  at  all  educational  levels  across  the  country  enrolled  in  24  virtual 
courses, 3 webinars, and 4 synchronous workshops to strengthen their digital and media literacy skills. 
The virtual courses are free three-week training programs offered on the Foundation's virtual campus, 
where  exchanges,  tools,  and  ongoing  tutoring  are  provided.  Some  of  the  topics  covered  included 
video  production  in  the  classroom,  escape  room  design,  media  and  ICT,  mobile  devices  in  the 
classroom, podcast production, cyberbullying, among others. Since the program's inception, a total of 
572,242 teachers have participated. 

On the other hand, the fourth season of the podcast "Media in Education" was launched, a proposal 
aiming  to  open  a  dialog  with  the  educational  community  to  address  the  potential  of  the  various 
languages and technologies available that allow teaching and learning in hybrid contexts. This season 
focused on the integration of technologies in schools and classrooms.  

Another  action  developed  was  the  ninth  edition  of  the  "#sosVOSenlared2023  Youth  Contest,"  an 
initiative specially designed for students aged 13 to 18 from both public and private schools across 
the  country,  aiming  to  encourage  critical  thinking  about  how  they  construct  their  identity  on  social 
networks. The promotion on Instagram was accompanied by synchronous workshops to deeply work 

54 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
  
  
  
on the didactic potential of the contest and the techniques for producing images and videos. A total of 
280  productions  were  submitted,  and  the  winners  received  technology  for  themselves  and  their 
schools, in addition to bibliographic collections published by Clarín.  

11.4. 

PROMOTION OF EDUCATION 

The "Teachers Who Inspire Award," an initiative by Clarín, Zurich, and Fundación Noble, closed its 
third edition with a special program focused on the stories and educational projects of the six finalist 
teachers. They were chosen from 2,000 applications from all 24 districts of the country. The names 
of the winners and the "Inspiring Teacher of the Year" distinction were announced on TN's screen and 
they received $5,000,000 in prizes. 

Moreover, Fundación Noble continued to sponsor the following schools: School No. 11 "Dr. R. Noble" 
in Villa Ballester, CENS No. 457 "Dr. R. Noble" in Avellaneda, Technical School No. 5 "Dr. R. Noble" 
in La Matanza, and School No. 91 "Dr. R. Noble" in Senillosa, Neuquén. At the end of the school year, 
10 plaques were awarded to the best students, along with 75 diplomas, 65 medals, and books for all 
the graduates. In addition, support was provided with bibliographic material for the garden project of 
CENS 457 in Avellaneda. 

In  September,  during  education  month,  in  partnership  with  Educar2050,  the  challenges  facing 
education  in  Argentina  were  brought  to  light.  In  this  vein,  a  special  section  was  developed  in  the 
newspaper Clarín, where various representatives of the most voted presidential candidates and some 
specialists analyzed the educational crisis and proposed measures for educational improvement.  

Guided  by  the  certainty  that  education  is  the  path  leading  to  transformation,  Los  Andes  continued 
awarding the "Adolfo Calle Scholarship," a financial aid for the top graduate from primary schools in 
Mendoza, and the "Elvira Calle Excellence Scholarship" at the Universidad Maza to promote higher 
education studies. 

With the goal of encouraging non-violence in sports, TyC Sports carried out the "Playing is Better" 
project in the provinces of Entre Ríos, Misiones, Mendoza, Tucumán, and soon in Bariloche. More 
than  1,100  children  and  women  were  supported  and  included  through  soccer  and  volleyball 
tournaments. Volleyball training sessions were also held in Tucumán and Misiones. 

Various  business  units  of  the  Group  offer  schools  guided  visits  to  show  them  the  process  of 
production, circulation, and printing of the newspaper in paper format; and at the same time, how work 
is done in online newspapers. In this regard, Clarín welcomed 7,152 students from more than 160 
institutions in 2023; La Voz del Interior received 200 students in 40 visits; Los Andes received 900 
people from various institutions, and eldoce received 400 students. 

Additionally,  Clarín,  in  partnership  with  FOPEA,  carried  out  a  program  for  four  aspiring  journalist 
students  born  in  vulnerable  contexts,  allowing  them  to  undertake  a  4-day  professional  practice 
alongside a journalist/editor who guided them in creating a piece with the potential to be published. 
Moreover,  throughout  2023,  4  internships  and  10  professional  practices  were  conducted  through 
agreements with various academic institutions. 

Finally, over 1,600 books and over 2,400 magazines were donated to 20 institutions for children and 
young people in schools, libraries, hospitals, and NGOs throughout the country.

PROMOTION OF CULTURE AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT 

With the aim of recognizing and highlighting works in Spanish by authors from Ibero-America, Clarín 
held the 26th edition of the "Clarín Novel Award." After a rigorous selection process, the Jury of Honor 
choses  the  winner.  On  this  occasion,  Luciano  Lamberti  won  with  his  novel  "Para  hechizar  a  un 
cazador," receiving a prize of $2,000,000 and publication under the Clarín-Alfaguara label. 

In 2023, Grupo Clarín was once again the main sponsor of the 47th Buenos Aires Book Fair, offering 
extensive multimedia coverage of the event and its own schedule of cultural activities. In the central 
hall of La Rural, Revista Ñ and Canal A set up an auditorium-bar where cultural figures engaged in 
dialog with the public. Additionally, the event featured concerts, theater productions, and live art. All 
activities were free of charge. The hosts of the main TN programs engaged in discussions with the 
public,  and  Radio  Mitre  was  present  with  a  studio  from  where  they  broadcast  several  live  shows. 
Additionally,  Fundación  Noble  offered  free  workshops  for  teachers,  and  Clarín,  together  with  the 
Master's in Journalism from San Andrés, organized an open talk with journalists. Cúspide participated 
with  two  bookstores  on  the  premises,  one  dedicated  exclusively  to  young  readers.  Two  in-person 
workshops were also held for 100 teachers. 

There was also a new cycle of the Master's in Journalism organized by Clarín and Universidad de 
San Andrés, which is supported by the Journalism School at Columbia University and leading industry 
companies that contribute to the scholarship fund. 

TN,  honoring  its  federal  DNA  and  as  part  of  the  celebration  of  its  30th  anniversary,  awarded 
scholarships  to  twelve  journalism  students  from  across  the  country  and,  in  collaboration  with  the 
University of Belgrano, organized a scholarship program for students of journalism, communication, 
and audiovisual production residing outside Buenos Aires. 

Throughout the year, the 6th edition of the "SME Awards," organized by Clarín and Banco Galicia, was 
also held. This initiative recognizes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for their contribution 
to the economic and social development of the country. Among the 356 applicants, an academic jury 
composed of professionals from the University of San Andrés chose three finalists for each category, 
and  then,  specialists  in  each  field  selected  the  winners:  SME  Gold  Award:  Ecosan;  Lifetime 
Achievement  Award:  Vacalin;  High  Environmental  Impact:  Eittor;  High  Social  Impact:  Trasa; 
Innovative SME: Ecosan; Exporting SME: IMS. 

Additionally,  the  magazine  ARQ  of  the  newspaper  Clarín  gave  awards  to  architecture  studios, 
construction  companies,  developers,  interior  designers,  and  suppliers  in  the  sector  as  part  of  the 
"Excellence Ranking" conducted by the consulting firm D’Alessio IROL for ARQ, which recognizes the 
top  15  in  each  category.  In  2023,  the  survey  reached  2,888  people  who  chose  the  best  in  each 
category at a national level. The "National Clarín SCA Award" for architecture students was also held, 
organized by the magazine ARQ in collaboration with the Central Society of Architects (SCA) with the 
aim of encouraging architecture students from all universities in the country to experience competing 
for the best project. 

Clarín also continues to spread high-value cultural and educational content through the culture section 
of  the  newspaper  and  Ñ  magazine.  The  latter,  in  November,  published  a  special  edition 
commemorating  the  20th  anniversary  of  the  magazine  and  once  again  joined  the  Festival  Eñe  in 
Madrid.  

Throughout the year, special coverage was also given to sports events, and films and music, including: 
Exclusive analysis for Clarín of Roland Garros by former Argentine tennis player Javier Frana; The

phenomenon  of  Dibu  Martínez,  the  goalkeeper  who  vindicated  soccer's  most  thankless  position; 
Coverage of all activities of the entourage of the movie "Argentina 1985" during the Oscar Awards 
ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles; Taylor Swift's first show in Argentina with live coverage 
from the River Stadium; and the story of those who started rapping in the neighborhood and now lead 
all the rankings. 

La Voz del Interior dedicated a special supplement and digital channel to the 450th anniversary of the 
city of Córdoba while continuing with the usual content in the Número Cero and Vos supplement. Los 
Andes continued with the initiative "Tell a Story with Tintero," inviting children to participate in a literary 
story production contest. In 2023, 54 children participated, presenting 58 stories, with one winner and 
three special mentions. 

Throughout the year, TN broadcast cultural content  and  excerpts from concerts  and festivals from 
various  venues,  and  eldoce  focused  on  the  "Todo  Córdoba"  news  segment  to  disseminate  local 
realities from the interior of the province.  

Canal (á) stood out for 24 hours on air dedicated to culture, where all genres related to art and culture 
coexist under the premise of plurality of perspectives. 

11.6. 

ALLIANCES WITH CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS 

UNICEF, eltrece, and Fundación Noble joined forces once again to celebrate the 32nd edition of "Un 
sol para los chicos." This year, a new record fundraising amount of $463,298,560 was achieved for 
the projects carried out by UNICEF in favor of children. 

In line with this, eltrece and Fundación Noble held the 14th edition of the "Abanderados Award" with 
an exciting ceremony at Teatro Avenida, where more than 500 people were moved by the stories of 
the  8  Abanderados  and  the  Young  Abanderado  of  2023,  chosen  from  800  applicants.  Heriberto 
Roccia (33), creator of Dignamente, was chosen by the public as the Abanderado of the Year and 
received a monetary prize of $2,500,000 to continue his work. The Navarro Viola Foundation selected 
Nicole Fusilier (31), founder of Una Sola Familia, as the winner of the special prize of $1,250,000.  

In  2023,  Fundación  Noble  continued  with  the  publication  of  the  "Calendar  of  Commitment  to  the 
Community"  in  the  magazine  Viva,  complementing  the  daily  charitable  agenda  of  Grupo  Clarín's 
media outlets.  

Clarín  renewed  its  partnership  with  Missing  Children  and  Red  Solidaria  to  disseminate  images  of 
missing children in Diario Clarín and raise awareness about the role of the community in addressing 
this issue.  

For Children's Day, eldoce, in partnership with Fundación Hospital de Niños de Córdoba, conducted 
a  campaign  to  collect  coloring  books  and  colored  pencils  to  honor  the  children  hospitalized  at  the 
Children's  Hospital,  Ronald  McDonald's  House,  and  the  Hospital  School.  During  October,  on  the 
occasion of World Breast Cancer Day, eldoce set up and equipped a tent for a hair donation event to 
create  oncological  wigs.  Forty  kilograms  of  hair  were  collected  and  donated  to  the  Vanesa  Duran 
Foundation and Guapas Foundation, which are responsible for making and distributing wigs to women 
undergoing this disease.

12. THE ENVIRONMENT 

12.1. 

CONTENT THAT PROMOTES ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS 

The Group's media conducted a coverage and broadcast of the United Nations Conference on Climate 
Change (COP28) from Dubai, disseminating the information through multiple platforms. 

It should be noted that journalist Belén López Mensaque from eldoce received a scholarship invited 
by Climate Tracker, a non-profit organization that trains journalists specialized in climate change in 
developing countries to participate in the meeting.  

Clarín  conducted  a  high-impact  investigation  on  trawling  practices,  which  are  an  environmental 
catastrophe and the main fishing method used in the Argentine Sea. 

In addition, throughout the year, La Voz del Interior covered news on Circular Economy and published 
the book "El círculo verde". The book received the endorsement and financial support of Fundación 
Avina, under the resilient cities program. 

Among the content generated by TN, "Guardians of Patagonia Azul" stands out, along with two special 
productions awarded by ADEPA in the Environment category: “Peligro de depredación: la maniobra 
oculta que ideó China para adueñarse de la pesca en el mar Argentino” (Danger of Predation: The 
Hidden Maneuver Devised by China to Take Over Fishing in the Argentine Sea) by Gonzalo Báñez 
and Agustina López along with the Videolab team, and “En 10 años, la Argentina perdió más de 2.4 
millones de hectáreas de  árboles” (In 10 Years, Argentina Lost More Than 2.4 Million Hectares of 
Trees) by Agustina López.  

Through  the  blog  Planeta  Vivo,  Radio  Mitre  continued  to  provide  information  to  the  public  about 
several environmental and sustainability issues. Through the Planeta Vivo blog, Radio Mitre continued 
to provide the public with information on various environmental and sustainability topics. Radio La 100 
published news related to environmental awareness on la100.com.ar. 

12.2. 

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY 

Grupo Clarín's Social Responsibility and Sustainability Policy serves as the framework within which 
its business units implement their environmental management actions.  

During 2023, Clarín recertified the ISO14001:2015 environmental management system at the plant 
where the newspaper is printed. Training was provided to a total of 226 employees on topics such as: 
waste identification, ISO 14001:2015, waste segregation, containment of hazardous substance spills, 
general risks in tasks, and PPE procedure and management. The policy is also applicable to suppliers, 
which must make an annual assessment through an environmental survey.  

Gestión Compartida includes, as part of the induction for new employees, training on waste separation 
within the facility and conducts systematic internal meetings to strengthen this habit. 

Throughout the year, the different business units continued with the dissemination and implementation 
of awareness actions. Clarín continues its awareness campaign on waste separation and reduction 
of waste generation. La Voz del Interior established a fleet reduction plan to save costs and reduce 
emissions;  Los  Andes  continues  applying  the  defined  protocols  for  printing  processes  and 

59 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
  
  
 
 
  
  
    
environmental  responsibility  policies,  and  TyC  Sports  renewed  and  increased  the  waste  bins 
according to the type of waste. 

12.3. 

MATERIALS 

Using resources in a sustainable way is a key objective of the Group's Environmental Management 
Policy.  

In this sense, its business units deploy actions for rational use of resources. Highlights include: La 
Voz  del  Interior  introduced  new  cleaning  routines  and  new  operating  methods  for  its  equipment, 
resulting  in  savings  on  supplies,  energy,  and  the  extension  of  the  productive  life  of  developer 
chemicals and reduced wear on ovens. Eldoce achieved fewer printouts and reused the non-printed 
parts of sheets for new printouts. TyC Sports began a process of digitizing audiovisual archives in 
2023, which allows for the recovery of plastic boxes that are then sent to the Garrahan Hospital for 
reuse. For institutional gifts, they continue to use eco-friendly fabric bags to reduce the use of plastics.

 ENERGY AND EMISSIONS 

Grupo  Clarín  is  committed  to  reducing  energy  consumption.  The  new  work  habits  align  with  this 
premise,  as  in-person  presence  has  been  reduced.  Clarín  continues  to  minimize  workspace, 
optimizing  sectors.  This  year,  approximately  10%  less  energy  was  consumed  at  the  printing  plant 
compared to 2022. 

La Voz del Interior continues with the plan to reduce its own transport fleet with vehicles dedicated to 
distribution  logistics  within  the  province  of  Córdoba  to  contribute  to  the  reduction  of  emissions. 
Additionally, internal routines in production and maintenance processes in the processing area were 
modified to optimize times and contribute to energy savings. The company continues with the LED 
lighting  replacement  scheme  in  auxiliary  facilities  and  completed  the  replacement  at  the  executive 
building. 

In the same vein, eldoce completed the switch to LED lighting in the last studio that still had halogen 
light.  And  TyC  Sports  continues  with  the  replacement  of  LED  lighting,  which  resulted  in  a  17% 
decrease in electrical consumption compared to the previous year.  

Following  this  approach,  Gestión  Compartida  achieved  a  reduction  of  approximately  15%  in  the 
electrical consumption of air conditioners due to the optimization of different unused sectors in the 
building due to teleworking. It is worth mentioning that the facility already has 98% LED lighting.

WASTE 

The treatment and reduction of waste are addressed by all the business units of the Group, following 
the  guidelines  of  the  environmental  management  policy.  Under  this  premise,  the  Company  has  a 
process in place for the final disposal of hazardous waste, while non-hazardous waste is separated 
between waste that can be recycled and waste that goes to final disposal. All business units comply 
with current regulations related to waste treatment. Regarding the hiring of companies authorized for 
final disposal services, the Company verifies their compliance with the regulations imposed by the 
disposal and treatment law. 

Within the waste subject to revaluation, paper occupies the predominant position as the main material 
that is recycled and donated to various entities. In 2023, Clarín's printing plant donated a total of 2,260 
kg of materials, such as paper and plastic caps, to Fundación Hospital Garrahan. La Voz del Interior 
contributed by donating 58.8 kilos of paper to institutions linked to education. In the case of eldoce, 
the donation focuses on unused paper and digital equipment which are delivered to the Hellen Keller 
School  for  the  Blind  in  Córdoba.  TyC  Sports  also  donated  more  than  1,000  kilos  to  Fundación 
Garrahan  and  continues  its  charitable  actions  by  donating  computers  to  various  educational 
institutions, strengthening internal communication about the proper disposal of waste.  

On the other hand, eldoce is an Eco Ally channel due to an agreement with the Public Services and 
Works Agency of the Municipality of Córdoba. It has become a Sustainable Station and fulfills the role 
of being a waste collection point for recycling. 

In the case of La Voz Del Interior, the waste generated from the production process is disposed of in 
accordance with provincial and national regulations; it is noteworthy that the product generated at the 
plant is 100% recyclable.

WATER AND EFFLUENTS 

Within the Group, the main effluents come from the development processes carried out at the printing 
plants. The disposal and treatment of water are carried out according to the ACUMAR regulations.  

The Company's office buildings and other facilities only discharge domestic waste water. In order to 
save water, the Company has automatic shut-off faucets and detection systems installed in the toilets. 

At La Voz del Interior, the water used both in the production process and in daily use comes from the 
network and is provided by Aguas Cordobesas. All remaining water from auxiliary areas and services 
is then directed to the effluent treatment plant, which processes the fluids and converts them into non-
polluting agricultural irrigation grade. The newspaper's treatment plant is oversized in its treatment 
capacity and optimized according to its operational needs.

13. BUSINESS PROJECTIONS AND PLANNING 

Grupo Clarín seeks to maintain and consolidate its presence in the local and regional market, focusing 
on the creation of quality contents in all multimedia and multiplatform formats. 

All  the  Group’s  business  units  will  strive  to  seize  opportunities,  seeking  to  reinforce,  improve  and 
expand the range of products and services offered; increase market share; reach new audiences and 
promote permanent innovations in all of its activities.  

Grupo Clarín will continue to optimize even more the productivity and efficiency levels in all its areas 
and companies. It will seek to develop and apply best practices in each of its processes.  

At  the  corporate  level,  it  will  continue  to  focus  on  the  main  processes  to  consolidate  sustainable, 
healthy, and efficient growth from different perspectives: quality products and services, human capital, 
business  strategy,  innovation,  financial  structure,  management  control,  and  corporate  social 
responsibility.  

Grupo Clarín will continue  to analyze alternative new  ventures related to  its mission  and strategic 
objectives both in Argentina and abroad, as long as they add value to its stakeholders and are feasible 
and viable under the prevailing economic environment.  

Grupo Clarín remains committed to journalism and the generation of content, with a growing focus 
on digital media, which has been one of the largest strategic stakes of the Company for nearly two 
decades. To this end, it will rely on the value and prestige of its trademarks, which have the largest 
rates of credibility and acceptance in Argentina. The Company will use its broad experience in the 
creation  of contents, recognized worldwide  -specially  in the Spanish-speaking world-, to boost the 
success of its new platforms and formats. 

Grupo Clarín reaffirms its sustained commitment to regulatory compliance, its readers,  audiences, 
and the country. In its daily work, Grupo Clarín seeks to assume with strength and responsibility the 
role that the media are called to play through professional and independent journalism and through 
the  defense  and  promotion  of  principles  and  values,  such  as  freedom  of  speech,  inclusion  and 
diversity,  the  effectiveness  of  republican  democracy  and  the  promotion  of  the  comprehensive 
development of Argentina and its inhabitants.

14. PROPOSAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

The Company is a holding company. Its results derive mainly from the operations of its subsidiaries. 
Therefore, its liquidity position depends, among other things, on the distribution of dividends of Grupo 
Clarín's  subsidiaries  -which  have  to  meet  their  investment  and  interest  payments  needs-,  the 
contributions required by other subsidiaries and the expected future cash flows from operating and 
financing activities. In this sense, the media are faced every day with the challenge posed by digital 
transformation,  with  the  development  of  a  new  business  model  that  does  not  compromise  their 
journalistic independence and the quality of their contents in a mature market, and with the strong 
impact that Argentine economy has on its revenues.  

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $ 10,546,959,727, mainly 
due to negative results generated in the segment Broadcasting and Programming and Other, primarily 
due to the negative impact of inflation on financial results, and a deterioration in operating margins 
due  to  the  Argentine  macroeconomic  situation;  this  was  partially  offset  by  positive  results  in  the 
segment Other due to positive net financial results originating from positive exchange rate differences. 

Therefore, the Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders to absorb the net loss for the year by 
fully reversing the Legal Reserve and partially the Share Premium. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  Grupo  Clarín  would  like  to  thank  its  customers,  suppliers,  employees, 
banking and financial institutions and other stakeholders, who are the key players in achieving the 
results obtained this fiscal year by the Company's Management.

The  Board  of  Directors  shall  control  and  supervise  on  an  ongoing  basis  the  direction  of  the 
company, ensuring that management takes actions aimed at the implementation of the strategy 
and the business plan approved by the Board of Directors. 
The Board of Directors must have the necessary mechanisms and policies in order to efficiently 
and effectively fulfill the role of the Board and each of its members.

Recommended Practices 

1.  The  Board  of  Directors  generates  an  ethical  work  culture  and  establishes  the  Company's  vision, 

mission, and values. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Board  of  Directors  establishes  the 
values and principles that set the general framework within which the Company’s activities 
must be developed. They are implemented by Departments or Divisions through a consistent 
message in the conduction of its daily activities, and are reflected in its corporate policies, 
among  which  the  most  relevant  is  the  Code  of  Ethics  and  Conduct.  Those  principles  and 
values follow the highest ethical standards, as demonstrated by the Company along its track 
record,  among  which  the  following  stand  out:  its  commitment  to  provide  honest  and 
independent communication, exercised with professional responsibility, seeking to strengthen 
the  institutions  that  sustain  the  democratic  system,  promoting  debate  and  communication 
between  different  sectors  of  society.  The  Code  of  Ethics  and  Conduct  describes  objective 
scenarios  where  a  conflict  of  interest  may  exist  and  provides  a  non-exhaustive  list  of 
examples  that  standardize  conflicts  including  relations  with  the  personnel,  political  and 
governmental  relationships,  and  corporate  asset  protection.  The  Declaration  of  Purpose, 
summarizing the essence and raison d'être as an Argentine media group, is available to the 
investing public on its website https://grupoclarin.com/institucional/principios-y-valores. 

2.  The Board of Directors sets out the general strategy for the Company and approves the strategic plan 
developed  by  Management.  In  doing  so,  the  Board  of  Directors  takes  into  consideration 
environmental,  social,  and  corporate  governance  factors.  The  Board  of  Directors  supervises  its 
implementation through the use of key performance indicators and taking into consideration the best 
interest of the Company and the rights of all its shareholders. 

66 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
The Company applies the  recommended practice. The Company's Board of  Directors and 
Management  design  the  general  strategy,  considering  as  the  global  framework  the 
opportunities  and  threats  of  the  context  in  which  it  operates  (external  risk  factors),  the 
Company's internal situation (internal risk factors) in the light of the established mission and 
values, and analyze, discuss and approve on an annual basis the strategic plan, composed 
of it short, medium and long term goals, and monitor its implementation using financial and 
non-financial  metrics  that  allow  for  an  adequate  oversight  of  said  strategic  plan  and  the 
degree of compliance with  the strategy. In addition, the Board holds quarterly meetings at 
which the Directors assess the Company’s operating and financial position, which includes a 
comparison with the previous quarter. Additionally, the Company is the only media enterprise 
that  issues  a  sustainability  report,  which  is  available  to  the  investing  public  on  its  website 
http://www.grupoclarinsustentable.com/. 

3.  The  Board  of  Directors  supervises  management  and  ensures  that  it  develops,  implements,  and 

maintains an adequate internal control system with clear reporting lines. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. The Board of Directors, which is mostly 
composed  of  non-executive  directors,  oversees  the  Company's  operations  not  only  with 
respect to the achievement of the established objectives and goals, but also with respect to 
the integrity and commitment with the values of the organization, the consistency of its actions 
with  its  mission  and  values  and  the  capacity  to  convey  those  values  to  all  its  employees. 
Through  a  set  of  mechanisms  and  procedures,  the  Board  of  Directors  monitors  that  the 
activities carried out by Management comply with the policies in place, that the objectives be 
accomplished,  that  the  changes  in  the  environment  be  contemplated  in  the  decisions 
adopted, and that the measures required to correct deviations be implemented. Among the 
main  mechanisms,  the  Company  has  detailed  procedures,  systems,  and  policies  that  set 
quantitative and qualitative rules for the approval of transactions, regular management control 
meetings,  and  internal  audits.  The  Division  of  Corporate  Control  follows  high  standards  of 
control  to  assure  the  general  control  system  and  compliance  by  the  Company.  Through 
previously  established  metrics,  the  Company's  Management  regularly  reports  on  its 
performance, allowing the Board of Directors to assess the performance of those responsible 
for  the  Company’s  operations.  The  Company’s  Board  of  Directors,  through  its  Audit 
Committee,  monitors  that  the  Company  has  in  place  an  adequate  internal  control  and 
accounting and administration system. Said Committee also meets quarterly with the external 
auditors as part of the monitoring of the proper performance of these control systems. 

4.  The Board of Directors designs corporate governance structures and practices, appoints the person 
responsible for their implementation, monitors their effectiveness, and suggests changes as deemed 
necessary. 

The Company does not apply the recommended practice within the terms mentioned above 
because  the  Board  of  Directors  has  not  formally  designated  an  officer  responsible  for  the 
implementation  of  the  corporate  governance  structures  and  initiatives.  However,  the 
Company  has  the  Divisions  of  Corporate  Control  and  Corporate  Affairs,  which  lead  the 
implementation of the Company’s corporate governance practices, and analyze the need to 
introduce  changes  upon  amendments  in  regulations,  upon  or  changes  in  the  Company's 
businesses, processes or structure. In this sense, the Company also has a Department of 
Investor Relations, a Department of Internal Audit, the Audit Committee, and the Supervisory 
Committee. Those practices have been deemed adequate and approved by the Company's 
Board  of  Directors.  For  that  reason,  the  Company  applies  the  principles  that  underlie  this 

67 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
practice.  On  its  website,  the  Company  has  a  Corporate  Governance  section  where  the 
members of the Board of Directors are identified https://ir.grupoclarin.com/gobierno/. 

5.  The members of the Board of Directors have sufficient time to perform their duties in a professional 
and efficient manner. The Board of Directors and its committees have clear and formalized rules of 
operation and organization, which are disclosed through the Company's website. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  is 
composed  of  members  that  have  impeccable  personal  and  professional  qualifications  that 
enable them to perform their duties in the Board. Several of its members perform their duties 
exclusively, devoting sufficient time to adequately perform their duties and, therefore, they 
attend  without  fail  the  meetings  to  which  they  are  called  and  receive  relevant  information, 
through  the  Corporate  Affairs  Department,  sufficiently  in  advance  so  that  they  can  make 
informed decisions at the Board. As a result of the above, given the fact that the rules that 
govern their actions, as well as their roles, functions and responsibilities arise from the laws 
and the Company's Bylaws, which are published in the Financial Information Highway and on 
the Company’s websitehttps://ir.grupoclarin.com/gobierno/, the Company has not deemed it 
necessary  to  state  in  an  additional  document  the  rules  that  set  out  the  duties,  roles  and 
functions  of  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Audit  Committee,  composed  of 
members of the Board of Directors, has a Rules of Procedure, which was filed with the CNV. 

CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMPANY SECRETARY 

Principles 

VI. 

VII. 

VIII. 

The Chair of the Board is in charge of ensuring the effective fulfillment of the functions of the 
Board of Directors and has a leading role  among the members. The Chair shall  generate a 
positive work dynamic and promote the constructive engagement of the members of the Board, 
and  shall  also  ensure  that  they  have  the  elements  and  information  necessary  for  decision-
making.  The  above  also  applies  to  the  Chairs  of  each  committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors, 
regarding their corresponding functions. 
The Chair must lead processes and establish structures to ensure the commitment, objectivity, 
and competence of the members of the Board, as well as the best operation of the body as a 
whole and its evolution according to the company's needs. 
The Chair must ensure that the Board of Directors as a whole is fully committed and responsible 
for the succession of the CEO. 

Recommended Practices 

6.  The Chair of the Board of Directors is responsible for the proper organization of the Board of Directors’ 
meetings, prepares the agenda ensuring the cooperation of the other members, and ensures that they 
receive  the  necessary  materials  well  in  advance  for  their  efficient  and  informed  participation.  The 
Chairs of the committees bear the same responsibilities for their meetings. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Chair  of  the  Company’s  Board  of 
Directors leads and organizes the Board of Directors’ meetings and receives the support of 
the Corporate Affairs Division, which, among its duties, is responsible for assisting the Chair 
of the Board regarding the coordination of meetings, technical support, delivery of information 
sufficiently in advance for the work carried out by the Directors and is also responsible for 
minute-taking  at  those  meetings,  among  other  activities.  Similarly,  the  Chair  of  the  Audit 
Committee leads and organizes the meetings of said Committee with the assistance of the 
Corporate Affairs Department. The members of the Board of Directors are called sufficiently 
in  advance  so  that  they  can  attend  the  meetings  and  receive  in  due  time  the  relevant 

68 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
information through the Corporate Affairs Department required to decide on the items of the 
agenda of the meeting to which they are called. In addition, the members of the Board hold 
regular meetings with the key executives in charge of the various operations of the Company, 
in order to monitor the course of business and the administration of the Company. 

7.  The Chair of the Board of Directors ensures the proper internal operation of the Board of Directors by 

implementing formal processes for conducting annual performance reviews. 

The Company does not apply the recommended practice through the implementation of a 
formal  annual  performance  review  process.  However,  it  complies  with  the  principles  that 
underlie the recommended practice because the Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors 
ensures the correct and adequate internal functioning of the Board through the verification of 
the compliance with all the obligations applicable to its members and those that arise from 
the Bylaws, the laws and the Code of Ethics and Conduct. The shareholders gathered at the 
Shareholders’ Meeting are the ones who, upon being furnished with the relevant and sufficient 
information, perform an annual review of the  performance of  the  Board of Directors at the 
time of considering the performance of its members. Among the information made available 
to  the  Shareholders  is  the  Annual  Report,  which  gives  account  of  the  performance  of 
Management.  

8.  The  Chair  generates  a  positive  and  constructive  workplace  for  all  the  members  of  the  Board  of 
Directors and ensures that they receive ongoing training to keep up to date and to be able to properly 
fulfill their duties. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company's  Board  of  Directors 
performs its duties in an orderly and harmonious environment among its members, ensuring 
constructive  and  efficient  teamwork  for  the  benefit  of  the  Company  and  its  shareholders. 
While a formal annual training program has not been implemented, board members, beyond 
their  experience  and  professional  and  personal  qualifications,  regularly  receive  updates, 
information, and training on industry, business, or regulatory matters to properly fulfill their 
duties and responsibilities. This is facilitated through the coordination by the Corporate Affairs 
Department. Trainings are conducted by highly skilled officers with expertise in the company's 
business, renowned professionals in the market, industry experts, or specialized consulting 
firms. 

9.  The Company Secretary provides assistance to the Chair of the Board of Directors in the effective 
administration of the Board and cooperates in the communication with the shareholders, the Board of 
Directors and management. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. Even though the Company does not have 
a Company Secretary, it has a Division of Corporate Affairs that assists the Chair of the Board 
of Directors in administrative and organization tasks required for the adequate functioning of 
the Board, such as those related to the preparation and distribution of information, meeting 
minutes-taking, training, provision of information and induction for new members, assistance 
in the communication among the  members of the Board of Directors and of  the latter with 
Management,  organization  of  shareholders’  Meetings,  among  others.  Taking 
into 
consideration the legal nature required for some its functions, Board of Directors receives the 
assistance  of  external  legal  advisors  who  support  the  Chair,  for  example,  regarding  the 
procedures  to  be  followed  for  Shareholders’  Meetings  on  an  annual  basis.  In  2020,  the 
advisors provided assistance to the Chair and the Company in relation to the procedures to 
be followed for holding remote Board of Directors’ Meetings and Shareholders’ Meetings due 

69 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
to the mandatory and preventive social isolation ordered by the National Executive Branch 
through Decree No. 297/2020, in accordance with the provisions of Resolution No. 830/20 of 
the Argentine Securities Commission. 
In addition, the Company has a Department of Investor Relations which is responsible for the 
relationship and communication with the shareholders of the Company. 

10.  The Chair of the Board of Directors ensures the involvement of all its members in the development 

and approval of a succession plan for the company's CEO. 

The  Company  does  not  apply  the  recommended  practice  in  the  terms  set  out  in  it.  The 
Company’s  Division  of  Corporate  Human  Resources  is  in  charge  of  the  identification  and 
retention of talents for managerial positions, as well as the planning of their successors. It 
receives the assistance of human resources professionals hired to such end.  

COMPOSITION, NOMINATION AND SUCCESSION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

Principles 

IX. 

X. 

The Board must have adequate levels of independence and diversity in order to make decisions 
in  the  company’s  best  interest,  avoiding  groupthink  and  decision-making  by  individuals  or 
dominant groups within the Board. 
The  Board  must  ensure  that  the  company  has  formal  procedures  for  the  proposal  and 
nomination of candidates to fill positions in the Board within a framework of a succession plan. 

Recommended Practices 

11.  The Board of Directors has at least two independent members in conformity with the effective criteria 

established by the Argentine Securities Commission. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  is 
composed of members who are also managers of the Company, non-independent directors 
without executive responsibilities and independent directors. The Board of Directors has two 
permanent directors and two alternate directors who are independent in conformity with the 
criteria established by the Argentine Securities Commission. Their names and capacity are 
published on the Company’s website and in that of the Argentine Securities Commission. 

12.  The Company has a Nomination Committee that has at least three (3) members and is chaired by an 
independent  director.  If  the  Chair  of  the  Board  of  Directors  is  also  the  chair  of  the  Nomination 
Committee, he/she shall refrain from participating in the appointment of his/her own successor. 

The  Company  does  not  apply  the  recommended  practice  because  it  does  not  have  a 
nomination committee. The Company’s Bylaws set out the way in which each class of shares 
shall  appoint  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  i.e.,  the  shareholders  appoint  their 
directors. The Bylaws are published on the website of the National Securities Commission. 

13.  The  Board  of  Directors,  through  the  Nomination  Committee,  develops  a  succession  plan  for  its 
members that guides the candidate pre-selection process to fill vacancies and takes into consideration 
the non-binding recommendations of its members, the CEO and the Shareholders. 

The  Company  does  not  apply  the  recommended  practice  because  it  does  not  have  a 
nomination committee. 

70 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
14.  The Board of Directors implements an onboarding program for its newly appointed members. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. The Company provides assistance to the 
new  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  through  an  induction  process  that  covers  all  the 
necessary aspects to gain an in-depth knowledge of the Company, through the contact with 
management  and  access  to  documentation  related  to  the  Company  to  learn  about  its 
structure,  businesses,  operations,  personnel,  processes,  policies,  legal  advisors  and 
applicable regulatory framework. In addition to this, both new members and those previously 
elected receive regular updates on industry, business, and regulatory matters. 

REMUNERATION 

Principles 
XI. 

The  Board  of  Directors  must  generate  incentives  through  remuneration,  in  order  to  align 
management -led by the CEO- and the Board with the long-term interests of the company, 
so  that  all  the  directors  equally  comply  with  their  obligations  with  respect  to  all  its 
shareholders. 

Recommended Practices 

15.  The Company has a Remuneration Committee that is composed of at least three (3) members. All the 

members are independent or non-executive. 

The Company does not apply the recommended practice. Even though the Company hires 
independent professional human resources advisors that advise the Company regarding the 
remuneration of the Board of Directors, the Board does not have a remuneration committee. 
In  addition,  the  Audit  Committee  provides  an  opinion  —in  conformity  with  the  applicable 
regulations  and  at  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Directors  before  the  Annual  Shareholders’ 
Meeting— on the reasonableness of the fees paid to the members of the Board of Directors 
taking  into  consideration  their  professional  background  and  reputation,  tasks  performed, 
responsibilities and the amount of time devoted to the performance of their duties. On the 
other  hand,  the  Division  of  Corporate  Human  Resources  is  in  charge  of  supervising  the 
remuneration  of  the  first  line  managers  which  includes  the  competitiveness  of  the 
remuneration practices and policies. Said Department, with the advice of independent human 
resources professionals oversees that the remuneration of managers is in line with the short, 
medium, and long term returns according to the Company’s management objectives. 

16.  The Board of Directors, through the Remuneration Committee, establishes a remuneration policy for 

the CEO and the members of the Board. 

The Company does not apply the recommended practice in the terms set out in it. The Board 
does  not  have  in  place  a  remuneration  committee.  The  policy  that  provides  for  the 
remuneration of management is established by the Division of Corporate Human Resources. 
That policy sets out a fixed and variable remuneration scheme. The fixed compensation is 
related  to  the  level  of  responsibility  attached  to  each  position,  the  competitiveness  with 
respect  to  the  market  and  the  performance  of  the  executive.  The  annual  variable 
remuneration is related to the objectives set by the Company for the fiscal year and the degree 
of compliance, which are in line with the Company’s business plan and strategy. On the other 
hand, the executives have the option of adhering to a long-term savings plan, which is used 
by  the  Company  as  a  strong  retention  tool.  The  remuneration  of  the  Board  of  Directors  is 

71 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting. In addition, the 
Board of Directors proposes the shareholders to authorize the payment of advances of fees 
up to a certain amount subject to the following Shareholders’ Meeting at which shareholders 
shall approve their remuneration, which are distributed by the Board of Directors among its 
members  in  accordance  with  the  delegation  made  by  the  Annual  Shareholders’  Meeting. 
Before proposing an amount of fees to be paid and submitting it on an annual basis to the 
consideration  of  the  shareholders  for  their  approval,  the  Board  of  Directors  receives  an 
opinion from the Audit Committee on the reasonableness of those fees. 

CONTROL ENVIRONMENT 

Principles 
XII. 

The Board of Directors shall ensure the existence of a control environment, composed of 
internal  controls  developed  by  management,  internal  audit,  risk  management,  regulatory 
compliance, and external audit, all of which shall establish the lines of defense necessary 
to ensure the integrity of the company's operations and its financial reports. 
The Board of Directors must ensure the existence of a comprehensive risk management 
system that allows management and the Board of Directors to efficiently direct the company 
towards its strategic goals. 
The Board of Directors must ensure the existence of a person or department (depending on 
the size and complexity of the business, the nature of its operations and the risks it faces) 
in  charge  of  the  internal  audit  of  the  company.  Such  audit  shall  be  independent  and 
objective, with clear reporting lines, in order to properly evaluate and audit the company’s 
internal controls, corporate governance processes, and risk management. 
The  Audit  Committee  of  the  Board  shall  be  composed  of  qualified  and  experienced 
members, and shall perform its duties transparently and independently. 
The Board of Directors must establish adequate procedures to ensure the independent and 
effective work performed by the External Auditors. 

XIII.

XV. 

XVI. 

Recommended Practices 

17.  The Board of Directors determines the company’s risk appetite and also supervises and guarantees 
the  existence  of  a  comprehensive  risk  management  system  to  identify,  assess  and  decide  on  the 
course  of  action  and  monitor  the  risks  faced  by  the  Company,  including,  among  others,  the 
environmental and social risks and those inherent to the business in the short and long term. 

The  Company  does  not  apply  the  recommended  practice  in  the  terms  set  out  in  it.  Even 
though the Division of Corporate Control consolidates information about the risks posed by 
the Company's operations in the regular reports, which are analyzed by the Company's Board 
of Directors and, in particular, by the Audit Committee, the Company does not have in place 
a formal comprehensive risk management process; neither does the Board of Directors have 
a  risk  management  committee.  However,  the  Company’s  management  contemplates 
operational, environment, information, financial and non-financial risks in the development of 
its strategic and business plan, which is discussed with the Company’s Board of Directors. 
Those  risks  are  contemplated  in  the  management  of  the  Company's  activities,  which  has 
areas  and  processes  to  identify  and  manage  certain  risks,  such  as  environment,  equity, 
information, financial, environmental, and technological risks. In addition, the Company has 
an Audit Committee composed of qualified and experienced members, which fulfills the duties 
conferred  by  the  Capital  Market  Law.  It  should  be  noted  that  the  Company  provides  new 
members of the Board with copies of its bylaws and policies.  

72 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
18.  The Board of Directors monitors and reviews the effectiveness of the independent internal audit and 
guarantees the resources for the implementation of an annual audit plan based on risks and a direct 
reporting line to the Audit Committee. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company  has  an  internal  audit 
department that is independent from the areas of the Company it audits and reports to the 
Audit Committee, which guarantees the objectivity of its work. Taking into consideration the 
extent  of  the  Company's  operations  and  the  guidelines  of  its  internal  rules,  the  Audit 
Committee  monitors  the  function  of  said  department  through  the  analysis  of  the  reports 
issued,  the  sufficiency  of  the  resources  available  for  the  fulfillment  of  its  duties,  the 
consistency of its annual plan and the scope of the audits, which is developed based on the 
audit risks identified. Annually, at the proposal of the Board, the shareholders of the Company 
approve  an  annual  budget  for  the  Audit  Committee  to  ensure  it  has  resources  to  meet 
necessary expenses in fulfilling its duties. 

19.  The internal auditor or members of the internal audit department are independent and highly qualified. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company  has  an  internal  audit 
department with qualified personnel for the adequate fulfillment of their duties. The members 
of that department have a vast professional experience in internal audit, financial reporting, 
fraud investigations and internal control. Said staff keeps up to date on an ongoing basis. The 
structure,  policies  and  guidelines  set  by  the  Company's  Management  empowers  the 
department to perform its duties without any kind of scope limitations. 

20.  The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee that works in accordance with rules of procedure. The 
committee is mostly composed of and chaired by independent directors and it does not include the 
CEO. The majority of its members have professional experience in financial and accounting areas. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Board  of  Directors  has  an  Audit 
Committee composed mostly of independent directors. The members of the Audit Committee 
are  appointed  by  the  Board  among  its  members,  taking  into  account  their  professional 
experience in financial and accounting matters. The Chair is elected by the members of the 
Committee. The Committee acts in conformity with the Law, the Bylaws, and internal rules 
that are duly approved by said body and submitted to the Argentine Securities Commission. 
The members of the Committee periodically review the internal rules. The members of the 
Audit Committee have a vast experience in financial, accounting, and internal control matters. 
The Chair of the Audit Committee is an independent director. The Audit Committee issues on 
an annual basis at the time of presentation of the annual financial statements the report that 
discloses the treatment given to those matters that are within its competence. 

21.  The  Board  of  Directors,  based  on  the  opinion  of  the  Audit  Committee,  approves  a  policy  for  the 
selection and monitoring of external auditors that provides for the indicators to be considered in the 
recommendation  to  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  about  the  continuity  or  replacement  of  the  external 
auditor. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. The Audit Committee, which provides an 
opinion before the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on the engagement of the external auditors, 
has in place a policy that sets out the guidelines to be followed in the assessment of the work 
performed by the external auditor, in order to issue its opinion on the proposal of the Board 
of  Directors  for  the  appointment  of  the  external  auditor,  to  ensure  and  assess  its 
independence and to perform a comprehensive assessment of its work. For this purpose, it 

73 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
mainly  considers  the  skills  and  experience  of  the  partner  and  the  rest  of  the  team  of  the 
external auditing firm, taking into account the number of years in the profession and in the 
auditing firm, the knowledge of the company and the industry in which the Company operates, 
as well as other customers of significant size; the quality and timeliness of communication 
between  the  external  auditor  and  the  Audit  Committee;  their  degree  of  objectivity, 
independence  of  judgment,  and  professional  skepticism;  the  auditing  firm's  independence 
policy and criteria; their internal quality control processes and the results of the review of their 
work carried out by third parties. 

ETHICS, INTEGRITY, AND COMPLIANCE 

Principles 
XVII. 

XVIII. 

The Board of Directors shall design and establish appropriate structures and practices to 
promote a culture of ethics, integrity and compliance with standards in order to prevent, 
detect and address serious corporate or personal breaches. 
The Board shall ensure the establishment of formal mechanisms to prevent, or failing this, 
to deal with conflicts of interest that may arise in the administration and direction of the 
company. It shall also have in place formal procedures seeking to ensure that related party 
transactions are made in the best interest of the company and the equitable treatment of 
all its shareholders. 

Recommended Practices 

22.  The Board of Directors approves a Code of Ethics and Conduct that reflects the ethical and integrity 
values  and  principles,  as  well  as  the  culture  of  the  company.  The  Code  of  Ethics  and  Conduct  is 
communicated and applicable to all the directors, managers, and employees of the company. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. The Company has a Code of Ethics and 
Conduct to address good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility practices, 
approved by its Board of Directors, which reflects the values and conducts promoted by the 
Company.  All  the  directors,  managers  and  employees  of  the  Company  are  aware  of  said 
Code and  its compliance is mandatory for all of them. The Code provides for  sanctions in 
case of non-compliance. 

23.  The Board of Directors sets out and periodically reviews an Ethics and Integrity Program based on 
risks, size and economic capacity. The plan is clearly and unequivocally supported by management, 
which  designates  an  internal  officer  responsible  for  developing,  coordinating,  supervising,  and 
reviewing  on  an  ongoing  basis  the  efficacy  of  the  program.  The  program  provides  for:  (i)  periodic 
training for directors, administrators and employees about ethics, integrity, and compliance matters; 
(ii) internal channels to report irregularities, open to third parties and adequately disseminated; (iii) a 
policy for the protection of whistleblowers from retaliation; and an internal investigation system that 
respects the rights of those under investigation and imposes effective sanctions on violations of the 
Code of Ethics and Conduct; (iv) integrity policies in bidding procedures; (v) mechanisms for periodic 
analysis of risks, monitoring and evaluation of the Program; and (vi) procedures to verify the integrity 
and background of relevant third parties or business partners (including due diligence during corporate 
transformation  and  acquisitions  processes  to  evaluate  potential  irregularities,  illegal  actions  or 
vulnerabilities), including suppliers, distributors, service providers, agents and intermediaries. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. The Company has developed an integrity 
program based on its risks, size, and economic capacity. Such program includes: (i) a Code 
of Ethics and Conduct that reflects the values and principles promoted by the Company, and 

74 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
which contemplates the integrity policies in all those situations in which an employee of the 
Company interacts with public officials; (ii) a reporting channel that has its own protocol and 
is  aimed  at  strengthening  the  Company’s  ethical  culture,  which  allows  for  anonymous 
reporting  and  guarantees  the  confidentiality  of  communications  as  well  as  the  protection 
against retaliation as a result of an investigation process because the Company encourages 
all  of  its  employees  to  express  freely  without  fear  of  retaliation;  (iii)  training  for  directors, 
managers  and  employees  about  ethics  and  integrity;  (iv)  the  evaluation  by  the  Corporate 
Control Department, as the internal body responsible for the ethics and integrity program, of 
integrity risks and the monitoring of the evolution of the program; (v) the adherence by the 
suppliers to the Company's transparency principles and practices. 

24.  The Board of Directors ensures the existence of formal mechanisms to prevent and deal with conflicts 
of  interest.  In  the  case  of  related  party  transactions,  the  Board  of  Directors  approves  a  policy  that 
provides for the role of each corporate body and sets out how to identify, address and disclose those 
transactions that are detrimental to the company or to certain investors. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company's  Code  of  Ethics  and 
Conduct has a section that contains the provisions applicable to conflicts of interest. On the 
other hand, the Company has a specific policy on related party transactions, which complies 
with effective rules.

Principles 

XIX. 

XX. 

XXI. 
XXII. 

All  shareholders  must  receive  equitable  treatment  from  the  company.  The  company  shall 
guarantee equitable access to non-confidential and relevant information for decision making at 
the company's shareholders’ meetings. 
The  company  shall  promote  the  active  engagement  of  all  shareholders  with  adequate 
information, especially in connection with the composition of the Board.

The company must take into account the interests of its stakeholders. 

Recommended Practices 

25.  The Company's website  has financial and non-financial  information  available, providing timely and 
equitable  access  to  all  the  investors.  The  website  has  a  special  section  to  answer  inquiries  from 
investors. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company  has  a  website  - 
www.grupoclarin.com  -  in  which  it  publishes  financial  and  non-financial  information,  thus 
allowing investors to have material information in due time and form. The Company also has 
an investor relations area led by the Market Relations Officer to answer inquiries. Said Officer 
is  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Directors  in  conformity  with  CNV  rules.  Said  department 
organizes conference calls on a quarterly basis ensuring investors worldwide the possibility 
of connecting for free. At these calls, the Company provides information about its results, its 
goals and answers questions and/or inquiries made by investors. These conference calls are 
announced in the daily bulletin of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, in press releases that 
are  disseminated  on  financial  information  portals,  as  well  as  on  the  Company's  website  - 
www.grupoclarin.com -. Furthermore, the Company maintains communication channels with 
minority  shareholders  by  disseminating  relevant  information  on  the  Buenos  Aires  Stock 
Exchange,  where  its  shares  are  listed.  This  information  is  also  distributed  through  the 
Company's  website. 
investors  can 

the  Company's  shareholders  and 

In  addition, 

75 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
communicate  with  the  department  via  email  or  by  telephone,  as  detailed  on  the 
websiteinvestors@grupoclarin.com.  Among  the  non-financial  information  disclosed  by  the 
Company  on  its  website,  the  sustainability  reports  it  issues  are  available  under  the  tab 
“Sustainability” http://www.grupoclarinsustentable.com/. It should be noted that the Company 
is the only media company that publishes a sustainability report. This also shows the in-kind 
donations  through  public  service  messages  to  promote  social,  civil,  and  environmental 
causes,  as  well  as  the  management  method  used.  The  Company  is  a  leader  in  terms  of 
Sustainability: It creates supplements to promote sustainable development. It also carries out 
a  literacy  program  for  children  and  adolescents  aimed  at  promoting  content  creation  skills 
and a critical look at journalistic content. Since 2021, the Company has issued its integrated 
annual report, i.e., the integration of its annual report with its annual sustainability report in 
accordance with the most advanced international common practices. 

26.  The  Board  of  Directors  must  ensure  that  there  is  a  process  in  place  for  the  identification  and 

classification of its stakeholders and a communication channel for them. 

The Company applies the recommended practice. The Company's Department of Investor 
Relations works together with the Department of Sustainability to identify potential and actual 
stakeholders of the company. The Company has different communication channels that allow 
it to have contact with key internal and external audiences, listen to their points of view and 
disclose those of the Company; and hence build a long-term value-generating relationship for 
all  the  parties  involved.  The  Company’s  main  stakeholders  are  journalism;  the  community 
and civil society organizations; business chambers and associations; audiences, customers, 
and readers; associates; universities; companies; suppliers and employees. Since 2015, the 
Company has issued a sustainability report on an annual basis and has been the first media 
company to do so in conformity with international guidelines including the Global Reporting 
Initiative standards, the UN Global Compact and the contribution to  the 2030  UN agenda, 
whose  priority  is  to  generate  value  for  the  country,  providing  quality  journalistic  content,  a 
bond  with  the  audience,  and  economic  independence.  This  report  defines  the  following 
stakeholders: shareholders, investors, analysts, companies, business chambers, employees, 
journalists,  audiences,  customers,  suppliers,  leaders  in  the  field  of  culture,  science  and 
technology entrepreneurs, universities, media, news agencies, press associations, leaders in 
the world of communications. Since 2021, the Company has been presenting an integrated 
report combining the sustainability report and the annual report in a single document. 

27.  The  Board  of  Directors  provides  the  shareholders,  in  advance  of  the  Shareholders’  Meeting,  a 
“provisional information package” that allows shareholders -through a formal communication channel 
- to make non-binding comments and share opinions that dissent from the recommendations made 
by the Board of Directors. When the Board sends the final information package, it shall expressly state 
its answers to the comments received, as deemed necessary. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  The  Company  makes  information 
packages available at its headquarters and at the AIF of the Argentine Securities Commission 
prior  to  the  Shareholders’  Meetings.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  packages  are  not 
provisional. In addition, the Company uploads to CNV’s Financial Information Highway all the 
information requests made the Company's shareholders before Shareholders’ Meetings are 
held, regarding the items of the agendas to be considered at those meetings, together with 
the answers provided by the Company to each of the requests, so that all the investors have 
the  same  information  thus  ensuring  equitable  access  to  the  information  provided.  Such 
information  is  also  provided  in  English  for  the  foreign  investors  through  its  website. 
Furthermore,  the  Company  establishes  various  communication  channels  that  allow  it  to 

76 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
engage the public and keep them informed about the course of its business. For this purpose, 
the  Company  responds  to  inquiries  from  investors  through  its  Department  of  Investor 
Relations, led by the Head of Market Relations investors@grupoclarin.com. Said department 
organizes  web  conference  calls  on  a  quarterly  basis  ensuring  investors  worldwide  the 
possibility of connecting for free. At these calls, the Company provides information about its 
results,  its  goals  and  answers  questions  and/or  inquiries  made  by  investors.  These 
conference calls are  announced  in the daily bulletin  of the  Buenos  Aires Stock Exchange, 
disseminated  on  financial  information  portals,  as  well  as  on  the  Company's  website 
https://www.grupoclarin.com. The Company maintains communication channels with the 
minority  shareholders  through  the  disclosure  of  relevant  information  in  the  Buenos  Aires 
Stock  Exchange  where  its  shares  are  listed  and  through  information  disclosed  in  the 
Company's website https://www.grupoclarin.com/. In addition, the Company's shareholders 
and investors can communicate with the department via email or by telephone, as detailed 
on the website investors@grupoclarin.com. 

28.  The  Company's  bylaws  provide  that  the  shareholders  can  receive  the  information  packages  for 
Shareholders’  Meetings  through  virtual  media  and  participate  at  the  meetings  through  electronic 
communication  media  that  allow  the  simultaneous  transmission  of  sound,  images,  and  words, 
ensuring the principle of equitable treatment of the participants. 

The  Company  applies  the  recommended  practice.  Pursuant  to  Resolution  No.  939/2022, 
effective  as  from  January  1,  2023,  the  shareholders  of  the  Company  decided  in  2022  to 
amend the Bylaws to provide for the possibility of holding exclusively in-person, exclusively 
remote, and/or mixed Shareholders' Meetings through the use of a communication channel 
that allows for simultaneous transmission of sound, images, and words, complying with the 
requirements established by current regulations, including, without limitation, the rules of the 
Argentine  Securities  Commission.  In  the  case  of  holding  remote  or  mixed  Shareholders’ 
Meetings, both physical and remote participation shall be considered for quorum and majority 
requirements.  The  Company  provides  through  virtual  media,  such  as  the  Financial 
Information Highway and its own website  https://ir.grupoclarin.com/hechos-relevantes/, the 
information to be considered at the Shareholders’ Meeting in order to ensure equitable access 
to  information  by  all  the  shareholders.  In  addition,  the  Company  sends,  through  the 
Depositary, to the shareholders that do not reside in Argentina the items of the agenda so 
that  they  can  grant  a  power  of  attorney  to  the  Depositary,  who  attends  the  Shareholders’ 
Meetings in its name and representation, voting as instructed by them. 

29.  The Dividend Distribution Policy is aligned with the strategy and clearly sets out the criteria, frequency 

and conditions under which dividends will be distributed. 

The Company does not apply the recommended practice. The Company’s Board of Directors believes 
that given the nature of a holding company and depending basically on the liquidity of its revenues 
that derive from the companies in which it holds equity interests, it is not convenient to establish a 
dividend distribution policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors provides grounds 
for its proposal for the distribution of dividends and the reasons for which it deems reasonable under 
a prudent administration of the Company.

16. EXHIBIT II – INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES AND GRI CONTENT INDEX  

International Guidelines  

Grupo  Clarín  uses  a  set  of  international  sustainability  guidelines  with  the  aim  of  standardizing  its 
performance,  reporting  on  its  performance  in  a  transparent  and  rigorous  manner,  and  showing  its 
contribution to sustainable development. 

1.  Since  2004,  it  has  remained  committed  to  the  United  Nations  Global  Compact  and  has 
reported  on  the  progress  made  concerning  the  fulfillment  of  10  guiding  principles:  human 
rights,  labor  rights,  the  environment,  and  anti-corruption.  The  2023  Communication  on 
Progress is presented through the online platform established by the Global Compact for this 
purpose. 

2.  The Company reports on its contribution to the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development 

Goals (SDG). 
It applies the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards as reference.  

3. 
4.  The Company uses the International  Framework of the IFRS Foundation as its reference 

framework. 

5.  The  Company  adopts  the  principles  and  guidelines  established  by  the  ISO  26000:2010 

International Social Responsibility Standard in the management of its business. 

Materiality Assessment 

Since 2015, Grupo Clarín has been conducting a materiality analysis to identify relevant issues. In 
2022, this process was reviewed, incorporating the dual materiality approach. 24 material issues were 
identified  and  grouped  into  four  categories:  journalism,  corporate  governance,  environment,  and 
people. Financial, social, and environmental impacts were assessed, prioritizing the most significant 
ones  through  a  survey  of  the  group's  management  and  stakeholders.  This  allowed  for  the 
development of a new Materiality Matrix, prioritizing key issues for accountability.

622/13.  That  information  is  included  in  the  Notes  to  these  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  as  provided 
under IFRS and CNV rules. 

These 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 (see Note 2.22). In general, the historical cost is 
based on the fair value of the consideration granted in exchange for the assets. 

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 year. 

The attached consolidated information, approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on March 08, 
2024, 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) 

IAS 29 -Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies 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 (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 issuers under its 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 Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated in constant currency as of December 31, 2023. 

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 INDEC. The following table shows the evolution of those indexes over the 
last three fiscal years, according to official statistics (INDEC) in accordance with the guidelines described under 
Resolution No. 539/18:

The main procedures applied for the above-mentioned inflation adjustment were the following: 

- 

- 

The monetary assets and liabilities recorded at the currency unit of the financial statement are not restated 
because they are already stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the financial 
statements. 
The  non-monetary  assets  and  liabilities  recorded  at cost  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statement,  and  the 
equity items, are restated by applying the corresponding adjustment coefficients.   

-  All the elements of the Statement of comprehensive income are adjusted by applying the corresponding 

- 

- 

adjustment coefficients. 
The  effect  of  inflation  on  the  Company's  net  monetary  position  is  included  in  the  Statement  of 
comprehensive income under the item “Gain (Loss) on Net Monetary Position”. 
The comparative figures have been restated for inflation following the same procedure explained above 
and after that, they were restated as of the date of these Financial Statements. 

The following is a description of the initial application of the inflation adjustment in the most relevant equity 
accounts: 

- 

- 

The  capital  stock  was  restated  since  the  date  of  subscription  or  since  the  date  of  the  last  inflation 
adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever occurred later. The difference between the nominal value 
of the capital stock and its value restated for inflation is disclosed under “Inflation Adjustment on Capital 
Stock.” 
The  paid-in  capital  was  restated  since  the  date  of  subscription  or  since  the  date  of  the  last  inflation 
adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever occurs later. 

-  Other comprehensive income was restated since each date of the accounting entry. 
- 

The other reserves were restated since January 1, 2017, which was the first day of the comparative year at 
the time of the initial application of the adjustment for inflation. 

2.2 Standards and Interpretations issued but not adopted to date 

As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, no new standards have been issued that apply to 
the Company for the fiscal year that began on January 1, 2024 and/or in subsequent years. 

2.3 Standards and Interpretations issued and adopted to date  

As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, no new standards have been issued that apply to 
the Company for this year.  

2.4 Basis for Consolidation 

These  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  incorporate  the  financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  of  the 
subsidiaries and joint ventures (“Interests in Joint Operations”, Note 2.7) controlled by the Company. Control

is presumed to exist when the Company has a right to variable returns from its interest in a subsidiary and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. This power is presumed to exist when 
evidenced by the votes, be it that the Company has the majority of voting rights or potential rights currently 
exercised. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company assumes control over them 
and are excluded from consolidation on the date control ceases.  

For consolidation purposes, the intercompany transactions and the balances between the Company and the 
consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Unrealized income has also been eliminated.

The  subsidiaries’  financial  statements  used  for  consolidation  purposes  bear  the  same  closing  date  as  these 
Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  comprise  the  same  periods  and  have  been  prepared  under  exactly  the 
same accounting policies as those used by the Company, which are described in the notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements or, as the case may be, adjusted as applicable. 

2.4.1 Changes in the Company’s Interests in Existing Subsidiaries  

The  changes  in  the  Company’s  interests  in  subsidiaries  that  do  not  generate  a  loss  of  control  are  recorded 
under  equity.  The  book  value  of  the  Company’s  interests  and  non-controlling  interests  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the 
changes in the relative interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount for which non-controlling 
interests were adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity 
and attributed to the shareholders of the controlling company. 

In case of loss of control, any residual interest in the issuing company is measured at its fair value at the date on 
which control was lost, allocating the change in the recorded value with an impact on net income. The fair value 
is the initial amount recognized for such investments for the purpose of the subsequent valuation for the interest 
retained as associate, joint operation, or financial instrument. Additionally, any amount previously recognized 
under Other Comprehensive Income regarding such investments is recognized as if Grupo Clarín had disposed 
of  the  related  assets  and  liabilities.  Consequently,  the  amounts  previously  recognized  under  Other 
Comprehensive Income may be reclassified to the statement of income.

2.5 Business Combinations 

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The consideration for 
each acquisition is measured at fair value (on the date of exchange) of the assets acquired, the liabilities incurred 
or  assumed and the equity instruments issued  by the Company in exchange for  the control of the acquired 
company. The costs related to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. 

The  consideration  for  the  acquisition,  if  any,  includes  any  asset  or  liability  arising  from  a  contingent 
consideration arrangement, measured at fair  value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to such fair 
value, identified during the measurement period, are adjusted against the acquisition cost.  

The measurement period is the effective period that begins on the acquisition date and ends on the date on 
which the Company obtains all the information about the facts and circumstances existing on the acquisition 
date, which may not extend beyond one year after the acquisition date. All other changes in the fair value of 
the contingent consideration classified as assets or liabilities, outside the measurement period, are recognized 
in the statement of income.  

The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognized.   

In the cases of business combinations conducted in stages, the Company’s equity interest in the acquiree is 
remeasured at fair value on its acquisition date (i.e., the date on which the Company obtained control) and the 
resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the statement of income or in other comprehensive income, as 
appropriate  according  to  the  source  of  the  variation.  In  the  periods  preceding  the  reporting  periods,  the 
Company may have recognized under other comprehensive income the changes in the value of the interest in 
the capital stock of the acquired company. In that case, the amount recognized under other comprehensive 
income is recognized on the same basis that would have been required if the Company had directly disposed 
of the previously-held equity interest. 

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company that meet the conditions 
for  recognition  under  IFRS  3  (2008)  are  recognized  at  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date,  except  for  certain 
particular cases provided by such standard. 

Any excess of the acquisition cost (including the interest previously held, if any, and the non-controlling interest) 
over the net fair value of the subsidiary’s or associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities 
measured at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. Any excess of the net fair value of the identifiable 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the acquisition cost is immediately recognized in the statement 
of income. 

The acquisition cost comprises the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest and 
the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously-held equity interest in the acquiree, if any. 

The Company initially recognizes any non-controlling interest as per its share in the amounts recognized for the 
net identifiable assets of the acquired company.   

2.6   Investments in Associates 

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, without exercising control, generally 
accompanied by equity holdings of between 20% and 50% of voting rights.

The  associates’  net  income  and  their  assets  and  liabilities  are  disclosed  in  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements using the equity method, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it 
is  accounted  for  under  IFRS  5  “Non-Current  Assets  Held  for  Sale  and  Discontinued  Operations”.  Under  the 
equity  method,  the  investment  in  an  associate  is  to  be  initially  recorded  at  cost  and  the  book  value  will  be 
increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share in the comprehensive income (loss) for the year or in 
other comprehensive income obtained by the associate, after the acquisition date. The distributions received 
from the associate will reduce the book value of the investment.  

Any excess of the acquisition cost over the Company’s share in the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities measured at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill 
is included in the book value of the investment and tested for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess 
of the Company’s share in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities over 
the acquisition cost, after its measurement at fair value, is immediately recognized in the statement of income. 

Unrealized  gains  or  losses  on  transactions  between  the  Company  (and  its  subsidiaries)  and  associates  are 
eliminated considering the Company’s interest in the associates. 

Adjustments  were  made,  where  necessary,  to  the  associates’  financial  statements  so  that  their  accounting 
policies are consistent with those used by the Company. 

Investments  in  companies  in  which  the  company  does  not  have  control  or  significant  influence  have  been 
valued at cost, as established by IAS 39, restated as mentioned in Note 2.1.1. 

In  the  cases  where  non-controlling  shareholders  hold  put  options  whereby  they  may  force  the  Company  to 
acquire  shares  of  subsidiaries,  and  the  Company  reasonably  estimates  that  such  put  options  will  be  duly 
exercised,  the  Company  discloses  the  present  value  of  the  corresponding  future  payments  under  Other 
Liabilities. 

2.7   Interests in Joint Operations 

A joint operation is a contractual arrangement whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic 
activity that is subject to joint control, i.e., when the financial strategy and the operating decisions related to the 
company’s activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 

Joint venture arrangements that entail the establishment of an independent entity in which each company holds 
an interest are called jointly controlled entities. The Company, in accordance with IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements”, 
has applied the equity method to measure its holding in the jointly controlled entity and discloses its holdings 
in such entities under Investments in unconsolidated affiliates. 

The Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023 do not include balances from interests in joint 
ventures. 

2.8   Goodwill 

Goodwill arises from the acquisition of subsidiaries and refers to the excess of the cost of acquisition over the 
net fair value at the date of acquisition of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company

initially recognizes any non-controlling interest as per its share in the amounts recognized for the net identifiable 
assets of the acquired company.  

If, after the fair value measurement, the Company's share in the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the 
acquiree exceeds the amount of the transferred consideration, the amount of any non-controlling interest in 
such company and the fair  value of  the  interest previously held by the acquirer  in the acquiree (if any), that 
excess is immediately recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as income from purchase in very 
profitable terms. 

Goodwill  is  not  amortized,  but  tested  for  impairment  on  an  annual  basis.  For  the  purposes  of  impairment 
testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company's cash-generating units expected to render benefits from 
the  synergies  of  the  respective  business  combination.  Those  cash-generating  units  to  which  goodwill  is 
allocated  are  tested  for  impairment  on  an  annual  basis,  or  more  frequently,  when  there  is  any  indication  of 
impairment. If the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit, i.e. the higher of the value in use or the fair 
value net of selling expenses, is lower than the value of the net assets allocated to that unit, including goodwill, 
the impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of 
the unit, on a pro rata basis, based on the valuation of each asset in the unit. The impairment loss recognized 
against the valuation of goodwill is not reversed under any circumstance. 

In case of a loss of control in a subsidiary, the amount attributable to goodwill is included in the calculation of 
the gain or loss for retirement. 

2.9   Revenue Recognition  

Revenues  are  recognized  when  the  amount  of  revenues  may  be  reliably  estimated,  when  future  economic 
benefits are likely to be obtained by the Company, and when specific criteria are met for each of Grupo Clarín's 
activities, as described below. 

Revenues  for  each  of  the  main  business  segments  identified  by  the  Company  are  recognized  when  the 
following conditions are met: 

- Print and Digital Publications 

Advertising  sales  are  determined  by  the  prices  achieved  per  single  column  centimeter  and  the  number  of 
advertising centimeters sold in the relevant period. Circulation sales include the price received from the sale of 
newspapers, magazines, and other publications. Printing services sales consist mainly of fees received from the 
printing of magazines, books, brochures, and related products. 

Those revenues are calculated taking into consideration the estimated amount of any discount, benefit, or price 
reduction that the Company and its subsidiaries may grant. 

Advertising sales from newspapers and magazines  are recognized when advertising  is published. Revenues 
from the sale of newspaper and magazines are recognized upon passing control to the buyers.  

Revenues from the sale of newspaper and magazines are recognized upon passing control to the buyers. The 
Company records the estimated impact of returns, calculated based on historical trends, as a deduction from 
revenues.  Revenues  from  printing  services  are  recognized  upon  completion  of  the  services,  delivery  of  the 
related products and customer acceptance.

Digital advertising revenues are recorded according to the price set for each site and section where advertising 
is  served,  considering  its  placement  and  format.  Revenues  from  online  advertising  for  sponsorship  or  fixed 
positions are recognized over the term set for the ad, while revenues from online advertising for served print 
ads are recognized based on the number of times the ad was displayed on the web. 

- Broadcasting and Programming 

television and radio advertising sales revenues are recognized when advertising is broadcast. Revenues from 
programming  and  distribution  of  television  content  are  recognized  when  the  programming  services  are 
provided. 

Advertising revenues are calculated taking into consideration the estimated amount of any discount,  benefit, 
or price reduction that the Company and its subsidiaries may grant. 

2.10 Barter Transactions 

The Company, through its subsidiaries, sells a small portion of its advertising spaces in exchange for goods or 
services received. Revenues are recorded when the advertisement is made, valued at the fair value of the goods 
or services received, in the case of goods and other services advertising barter transactions, or delivered, in the 
case of advertising-for-advertising barter transactions. Goods or services are recorded at the time goods are 
received or services are rendered. The goods or services to be received in consideration for the advertisements 
made  are  recorded  as  Trade  Receivables.  The  advertisements  to  be  made  in  exchange  for  the  goods  and 
services received are recorded as Trade and Other Payables. 

2.11 Leases 

Leases are classified as financial leases when the terms of the lease transfer to the lessee substantially all the 
risks and benefits inherent to the property. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 

The assets held under financial leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the Company’s leased 
assets at the beginning of the lease term, or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The liability 
held with the lessor  is included in the statement of financial  position as an obligation under financial  leases 
recorded under lease liabilities. 

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the liabilities under the lease 
so as to achieve a constant interest rate on the outstanding balance. The finance charge is expensed over the 
lease term. 

The assets held under financial leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or the 
lease term. 

Until December 31, 2018, the rentals under operating leases were charged to income on a straight-line basis 
over  the  corresponding  lease  term.  As  from  January  1,  2019,  the  Company  has  applied  IFRS  16  regarding 
operating lease agreements.

2.12 Foreign Currency and Functional Currency 

The financial statements of each of the entities consolidated by the Company are prepared in the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purposes of 
the Consolidated Financial Statements, the net income and the financial position of each entity are stated in 
Argentine Pesos (Argentina’s legal tender for all companies domiciled in Argentina), which is the Company’s 
functional  currency,  and  the  reporting  currency  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  The  functional 
currency of the indirectly controlled Uruguayan companies is the Uruguayan Peso.  

In  preparing  the  financial  statements  of  the  individual  entities,  the  transactions  in  currencies  other  than  the 
entity’s functional currency (foreign currency) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates on 
which  transactions  are  carried  out.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  year,  the  monetary  items  denominated  in 
foreign currency are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing on such date.  

The exchange differences were charged to income (loss) for the period in which they were generated. 

In preparing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, asset and liability balances of the entities which 
functional currency is not the Argentine peso, expressed in their own functional currency (Uruguayan Peso) are 
translated  into  Argentine  pesos  at  the  exchange  rate  prevailing  at  the  end  of  the  year,  while  net  income  is 
translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Translation differences are recognized under 
other comprehensive income as “Variation in Translation Differences of Foreign Operations”. 

2.13 Financial Expenses on Debt 

Financial expenses on debt directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or  production of assets that 
require a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale (“qualifying assets”), are capitalized 
as  part  of  the  cost  of  these  assets  until  they  are  ready  for  their  intended  use  or  sale,  according  to  IAS  23 
("Borrowing Costs"). 

The income, if any, on the temporary investment of the specific borrowings incurred to finance qualifying assets 
is deducted from the financial expenses on debt to be capitalized. 

All other financial expenses on debt were charged to income (loss) for the period in which they were generated. 

2.14 Taxes 

2.14.1 Current and Deferred Income Tax for the year 

The income tax charge reflects the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax. 

Current  and  deferred  taxes  are  recognized  as  expense  or  income  (loss)  for  the  year,  except  when  they  are 
related to entries debited or credited to other comprehensive income or equity, in which cases taxes are also 
recognized  under  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity,  respectively.  In  the  case  of  a  business 
combination, the tax effect is taken into consideration in the calculation of goodwill or in the determination of 
the  excess  of  acquirer's  interest  in  the  net  fair  value  of  the  acquiree’s  identifiable  assets,  liabilities,  and 
contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination.

2.14.1.1 Current Income Tax 

Current tax payable is based on the taxable income recorded during the year. Taxable income and net income 
reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income differ due to revenue or expense items that 
are taxable or deductible in other fiscal years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The current tax 
liability  is  calculated  using  the  tax  rate  in  effect  as  of  the  date  of  these  Consolidated  Financial  Statements. 
Current  tax  charge  is  calculated  based  on  the  tax  rules  effective  in  the  countries  in  which  the  consolidated 
entities operate.  

Law  No. 27,630, published in the Official Gazette on June 16, 2021, provided for  a tiered tax rate structure 
based on the taxable income of each taxpayer: The amounts established for each bracket will be adjusted once 
a year as from 2022 based on the National IPC corresponding to October of the year prior to the year in which 
the adjustment is made compared to the same month of the previous year. The current brackets for fiscal year 
2022 are the following: 25% for annual taxable income of up to $7.6 million; 30% for annual taxable income 
exceeding  $7.6  million  up  to  $76  million;  and  35%  for  annual  taxable  income  exceeding  $  76  million.  The 
current brackets for fiscal year 2023 are the following: 25% for annual taxable income of up to $14.3 million; 
30% for annual taxable income exceeding $14.3 million up to $143 million; and 35% for annual taxable income 
exceeding $ 143 million. 

Income Tax Inflation Adjustment 

Pursuant to the provisions of the Income Tax Law that are in effect, the Company applies the inflation adjustment 
set forth under Title VI of the income tax law as from 2019 because, starting that year, the percentage changes 
in the IPC index reached the levels set forth in the law. 

In  addition,  said  laws  provide  that  in  order  to  calculate  inflation  adjustments  corresponding  to  the  first  and 
second fiscal year beginning as from January 1, 2019, one-sixth of the inflation adjustment shall be allocated to 
that fiscal year, and the remaining five-sixths shall be allocated in equal parts, to each of the five immediately 
following fiscal periods. The adjustment for inflation corresponding to fiscal years beginning on or after January 
1, 2021 is fully recognized in this fiscal year. 

Acquisitions or investments made in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are restated for inflation 
based on the percentage variations of the Consumer Price Index (IPC, for its Spanish acronym) published by 
the National Institute of Statistics and Census. Such adjustment will increase deductible amortization and tax 
cost in the event of a sale. 

2.14.1.2 Deferred Income Tax 

Deferred  tax  is  recognized  on  temporary  differences  between  the  book  value  of  the  assets  and  liabilities 
included  in  these  Financial  Statements  and  the  corresponding  tax  basis  used  to  determine  taxable  income. 
Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  generally  recognized  for  all  temporary  fiscal  differences.  Deferred  tax  assets  are 
recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income 
will  be  available  against  which  those  deductible  temporary  differences  can  be  charged.  These  assets  and 
liabilities  are  not  recognized  if  the  temporary  differences  arise  from  goodwill  or  from  the  initial  recognition 
(other  than  in  a  business  combination)  of  other  assets  and  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  affects  neither  the 
taxable income nor the accounting income.

The book value of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting year and reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future to allow for the recovery of all or 
part of the asset. 

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in foreign subsidiaries. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applicable in the year in 
which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted by the end of the period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects 
the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects, at the end of the reporting 
year, to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities if effective regulations allow to offset, before the tax 
authorities,  the  amounts  recognized  in  those  items;  and  if  the  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  arise  from 
income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Company intends to settle its assets and liabilities on a 
net basis. 

Under  the  IFRS,  deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  classified  as  non-current  assets  and  liabilities, 
respectively. 

2.14.2 Value Added Tax 

Through Decree No. 1,094/18, the Executive Branch enacted Law No. 27,467, which established the following 
provisions regarding value-added tax ("VAT"): 

(i) Allocation of Social Security Contributions: Entities may allocate employer’s contributions on the payroll as a 
tax credit against VAT. These contributions must have been accrued in the fiscal period and effectively paid at 
the  moment  of  submitting  the  VAT  return.  Qualifying  entities  are  those  engaged  in  the  following  activities: 
broadcast  television  or  physical  link  and/or  radio  electric  link  subscription  television  services,  audio 
broadcasting, cable television signals, newspaper, magazine or periodical publishing companies or companies 
engaged in digital journalism, and the distributors of those publishing companies. In case the payment of that 
amount is made after the time provided, entities may allocate employer’s contributions on the payroll as a tax 
credit against VAT in the tax return for the fiscal period in which social contributions were paid. As provided 
above, when the  salaries that  give rise to the employer’s contributions that  may be allocated as a tax credit 
against  VAT  are  also  related  to  other  activities  outside  the  scope  of  this  benefit,  the  amounts  of  those 
contributions will be allocated pro rata for the sole purpose of calculating the ratable portion that qualifies for 
the benefit. The amounts of such employer’s contributions shall be counted as a VAT credit up to the amount 
of the output tax for the relevant period, before allocating the other tax credits.   

(ii) VAT Exemption: The sales, leases related to the development, construction or manufacturing of chattel at 
the request of a third party, imports and leases and services relating to the following items, are exempted from 
VAT: books, brochures and similar printed products, including book series or loose leaves that make up the 
whole  work  or  part  of  it,  and  newspapers,  magazines  and  similar  periodic  printed  publications,  as  well  as 
subscriptions to digital periodic editions of online information, throughout the entire marketing and distribution 
chain,  in  all  cases  irrespective  of  the  support  or  means  used  for  their  dissemination.  The  distribution, 
classification, delivery and/or return of newspapers, magazines, and periodical publications provided to entities 
engaged in editorial production do not qualify for VAT exemption.

(iii) Special Treatment. Tax Credit related to newspapers, magazines, digital editions and books: The entities 
engaged  in  editorial  printing  and/or  production  of  books,  brochures  and  similar  printed  publications,  or  of 
newspapers, magazines and periodical publications, as well as digital journalistic editions of online information 
and their distributors, to the extent all of them qualify for the tax exemption under the VAT Law, may allocate 
the tax credit generated by transactions that qualify for the above-mentioned exemption against the output tax 
generated  by  other  transactions  subject  to  VAT.  Any  unused  balance  can  be  credited  against  other  taxes 
controlled  by  AFIP,  or  be  returned  or  transferred  to  responsible  third  parties  in  the  manner,  terms  and 
conditions established by the AFIP to such end. 

2.15 - Property, Plant and Equipment 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  held  for  use  in  the  production  or  supply  of  goods  and  services,  or  for 
administrative  purposes,  are  recorded  at  cost,  restated  as  mentioned  in  Note  2.1.1,  less  accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in use is recognized on a straight-line basis over its estimated 
useful life.  

The estimated useful life, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed at each year-end, with the effect 
of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Land is not depreciated. 

Works in process are recorded at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, less any recognized impairment 
loss. The cost includes professional fees and, in the case of qualifying assets, capitalized financial expenses on 
debt in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy (Note 2.13). Depreciation of these assets, as well as 
in the case of other property, plant and equipment, begins when the assets are ready for their use. 

Assets held under financial leases are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life, which is equal 
to the rest of the other similar assets, or over the lease term. 

Repair and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred. 

The gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated 
as the difference between income from the sale of the asset and the asset’s book value, and recognized under 
“Other Income and Expenses, net” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

The  residual  value  of  an  asset  is  written  down  to  its  recoverable  value,  if  the  asset’s  restated  residual  value 
exceeds its estimated recoverable value (see Note 2.18). 

2.16 Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets include trademarks and patents, exclusivity agreements, licenses, software and other rights, 
the purchase value of the subscriber portfolio, projects in-progress (mainly related to software development) 
and  other  intangible  assets.  The  accounting  policies  regarding  the  recognition  and  measurement  of  such 
intangible assets are described below.

2.16.1 Intangible Assets Acquired Separately 

Intangible  assets  acquired  separately  are  valued  at  cost,  restated  as  mentioned  in  Note  2.1.1,  net  of  the 
corresponding accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line 
basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets. The Company reviews the useful lives applied, the 
residual  value  and  the  amortization  method  at  each  year-end,  and  accounts  the  effect  of  any  changes  in 
estimates on a prospective basis.   

Assets held under financial leases are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life, which is equal 
to the rest of the other similar assets, or over the lease term. 

2.16.2 Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination 

Intangible  assets  acquired  in  a  business  combination  are  identified  and  recognized  separately  regarding 
goodwill when they meet the definition of intangible assets and their fair value can be measured reliably. Such 
intangible assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date.  

After the initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are valued at cost, restated as 
mentioned  in  Note  2.1.1,  net  of  accumulated  amortization  and  impairment  losses,  with  the  same  basis  as 
intangible assets acquired separately. 

2.16.3 Internally Generated Intangible Assets 

Internally generated intangible assets arising from the development phase of an internal project are recognized 
if certain conditions are met, among them, technical feasibility to complete the development of the intangible 
asset and the intent to complete such development. 

The amount initially recognized for internally generated intangible assets comprises all the expenses incurred 
as from the moment all the intangible assets meet the above-mentioned recognition criteria. Where it is not 
possible to recognize an internally generated intangible asset, the development expenses are recognized in 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they are incurred. 

After the initial recognition, internally developed intangible assets are valued at cost, restated as mentioned in 
Note 2.1.1, net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses, with the same basis as intangible assets 
acquired separately.  

Such assets are included under software and projects in-progress. 

2.17 Investment Properties  

Investment  property  comprises  Property  intended  for  leasing  to  a  third  party  instead  of  being  used  for  the 
provision of services or for administrative purposes. It is recorded at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, 
less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. 

The depreciation of the property classified as investment property is recognized on a straight-line basis over its 
estimated useful life. The estimated useful life, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed at each 
year-end, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

The gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of investment property is calculated as the 
difference between income from the sale of the asset and the asset’s book value, and recognized under “Other 
Income and Expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

The residual value of an asset is written down to its recoverable value, if the asset’s residual value exceeds its 
estimated recoverable value. 

The fair value of the investment property is determined by a renowned professional appraiser with experience 
in the location in which the property is located. It amounts to approximately $ 33,000 million as of December 
31, 2023. 

2.18 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets, Except Goodwill 

At  the  end  of  each  financial  statement,  the  Company  reviews  the  book  value  of  its  non-financial  assets  with 
definite useful life to determine the existence of any evidence indicating that these assets could be impaired. If 
there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable value of these assets is estimated for the purposes of 
determining the amount of the impairment loss (in case the recoverable value is lower than the book value). 
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable value of an individual asset, the Company estimates the 
recoverable value of the cash-generating unit ("CGU") to which such asset belongs. Where a consistent and 
reasonable  allocation  base  can  be  identified,  corporate  assets  are  also  allocated  to  an  individual  cash-
generating unit or, otherwise, to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a consistent allocation 
base can be identified.  

The  recoverable  value  of  an  asset  is  the  higher  of  the  fair  value  less  selling  expenses  or  its  value  in  use.  In 
measuring  value  in  use,  estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  at  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax 
discount rate, which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and, if any, the risks 
specific to the asset for which estimated future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

Assets with an indefinite useful life (for example, non-financial assets unavailable for use) are not amortized, but 
are tested for impairment on an annual basis. 

Non-financial  assets,  except  for  goodwill,  for  which  an  impairment  loss  was  recorded,  are  reviewed  at  each 
closing date for a possible reversal of the impairment loss. 

2.19 Inventories 

Inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and/or production cost, restated as mentioned in Note 
2.1.1, or the net realizable value. The cost is determined under the weighted average price method.  

The production cost is determined under the cost absorption method, which comprises raw materials, labor 
and other costs directly related to the production of goods. The net realizable value represents the estimated 
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make such sale. 

The criterion followed to expense each of these inventory items is as follows:

The  cost  of  series,  soap  operas  and  programs  purchased  to  be  shown  on  broadcast  television  is  mainly 
expensed against the cost of sales on the exhibition date or upon expiration of exhibition rights. Rights related 
to these programs acquired in perpetuity, if any, are amortized over their estimated useful life (eight years, with 
a grace period of three years and are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the next five years). 

Films are expensed against the cost of sales on a decreasing basis, based on the number of showings granted 
by the respective rights or upon expiration of exhibition rights.  

Film rights acquired in perpetuity are amortized over their estimated useful life (seven years, with a grace period 
of four years. They are subsequently amortized on a decreasing basis over the next three years). 

− 

In-house production programs and co-productions: 

The cost of in-house production programs and co-productions is mainly expensed against the cost of sales after 
broadcasting of the chapter or program. Rights related to in-house production programs and co-productions 
acquired in perpetuity, if any, are amortized over their estimated useful life (eight years, with a grace period of 
three years and are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the next five years). 

−  Events: 

The cost of events is fully expensed against the cost of sales at the time of broadcasting. 

The allowance for  impairment is calculated based  on the recoverability analysis conducted at the closing  of 
each year. The values thus obtained do not exceed their respective recoverable values estimated at the closing 
of each year. 

2.20 Other Assets 

The assets included in this item have been valued at acquisition cost. 

Investments denominated in foreign currency subject to restrictions on disposition under financial covenants 
have been valued at face value plus interest accrued as of each year-end. 

2.21 Provisions and Other Charges 

Provisions  for  Lawsuits  and  Contingencies  and  the  accrual  for  asset  retirement  are  recognized  when  the 
Company has a present obligation (be it legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when it is probable 
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and when the amount of the obligation can 
be reliably estimated. 

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present 
obligation at the end of the reporting year, taking into consideration the corresponding risks and uncertainties. 
Where a provision is measured using the estimated cash flow to settle the present obligation, its book value 
represents the present value of such cash flow. 

In estimating its obligations, the Company has taken into consideration the opinion of its legal advisors, if any.

2.22 Financial Instruments 

Financial assets and liabilities, on initial recognition, are measured at transaction price as of the acquisition date. 
Financial assets are derecognized in the financial statement when the rights to receive cash flows from them 
have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and benefits 
of ownership. 

2.22.1 Financial Assets 

Upon  initial  recognition,  in  accordance  with  IFRS  9,  financial  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  either 
amortized cost, or fair value, on the basis of: 

(a) the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets; and  
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 

A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: 

(a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual 
cash flows, and 
(b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments 
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

A financial asset that is not measured at amortized cost according to the paragraphs above is measured at fair 
value. 

Financial assets include: 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  Cash  and  banks  and  short-term  and  highly  liquid  investments  that  are 
readily convertible into cash, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and their original maturity or the 
remaining maturity at the date of purchase does not exceed three months. 

Cash and cash equivalents are recorded, according to their nature, at fair value or amortized cost. 

Investments in mutual funds are carried at fair value. Gains and losses are included in Other Financial Results, 
net.  

Investments in Government Securities were valued at amortized cost or at fair value, according to the business 
model established by the Company. 

Balances  in  foreign  currency  have  been  valued  as  mentioned  above,  at  the  exchange  rates  effective  at  the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year. 

Trade and Other Receivables 

Trade and other receivables classified as either current or non-current assets are initially recognized at fair value 
and  subsequently  measured  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method,  less  allowances  for

uncollectibility.  Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method, except for  short-term 
balances for which the recognition of interest is not significant. 

Balances  in  foreign  currency  have  been  valued  as  mentioned  above,  at  the  exchange  rates  effective  at  the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year. 

Investments 

Depending on the business model adopted by Management, Securities and Bonds may be valued at amortized 
cost or at fair value and results are recognized under Other Financial Results, net. 

Balances  in  foreign  currency  have  been  valued  as  mentioned  above,  at  the  exchange  rates  effective  at  the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year. 

Impairment of Financial Assets 

At the time of initial recognition of financial assets (and at each closing), the Company estimates the expected 
losses, with an early recognition of a provision, pursuant to IFRS 9. 

In the case of trade receivables, as from January 1, 2018, the Company measures the allowance for bad debts 
in an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. 

The expected losses to be recognized are  calculated based  on a percentage of uncollectibility per  maturity 
ranges  of  each  financial  credit.  For  such  purposes,  the  Company  analyzes  the  performance  of  the  financial 
assets  grouped  by  type  of  market.  Said  historical  percentage  must  contemplate  the  future  collectibility 
expectations regarding those credits and, therefore, those estimated changes in performance. 

Given  the  nature  of  Other  receivables,  the  Company  conducts  an  uncollectibility  analysis  for  each  case  in 
particular. 

Derecognition of Financial Assets 

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows of such assets expire 
or when it transfers the financial asset and, therefore, all the risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the 
financial asset are transferred to another entity. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and benefits 
inherent to the ownership of the transferred asset, it will continue to recognize it and will recognize a liability for 
the amounts received. 

2.22.2 Financial Liabilities 

Financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables, financial debt, and certain liabilities included in Other 
Liabilities. 

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Amortized 
cost  represents  the  initial  amount  net  of  principal  repayments  made,  adjusted  by  the  amortization  of  any

Balances  in  foreign  currency  have  been  valued  as  mentioned  above,  at  the  exchange  rates  effective  at  the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year. 

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities 

The Company shall derecognize a financial liability (or part of it) when it has been extinguished, i.e., when the 
obligation specified in the corresponding agreement is discharged, canceled or expires. 

2.22.3 Derivatives 

Derivatives,  if  any,  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value  at  the  date  of  execution  of  the  related  contract  and 
subsequently measured at fair value at the end of the reporting year. The resulting gain or loss is immediately 
recognized in the statement of income unless the derivate is designated as a hedging instrument, in which case 
the timing for its recognition will depend on the nature of the hedging relationship. 

2.23  Other Liabilities 

Advances from customers involving obligations to deliver assets that have not yet been produced have been 
valued at the higher of the amounts received or the share in the estimated value of the related assets. 

The other liabilities have been valued at nominal value. 

2.24 Assets and Liabilities Held for Distribution to Shareholders 

Non-current assets and liabilities (or disposal groups) are classified as assets and liabilities held for distribution 
to shareholders when an entity undertakes to distribute them to its shareholders, to the extent such distribution 
is highly likely to occur and they are available for immediate distribution in their then current conditions.  

2.25 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 

For the purposes of preparing the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the item “Cash and Cash Equivalents” 
includes cash and bank balances, certain high liquidity short-term investments (with original maturities shorter 
than  90  days).  Bank  overdrafts  payable  on  demand,  if  any,  are  deducted  to  the  extent  they  are  part  of  the 
Company’s cash management.  

Bank overdrafts are classified as “Financial Debt” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash and cash equivalents at each year-end, as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, may 
be reconciled against the items related to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as follows:

The  distribution  of  dividends  to  the  Company’s  shareholders  is  recognized  as  a  liability  in  the  financial 
statements for the year in which the distribution of dividends is approved at the Shareholders’ Meeting. 

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS  

In applying the accounting policies described in Note 2, the Company has to make judgments and prepare 
accounting estimates of the value of the assets and liabilities that may not be otherwise obtained. 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 year in which estimates are reviewed. 

These estimates basically refer to: 

Allowance for Bad Debts 

The  Company  calculates  the  allowance  for  bad  debts  for  debt  instruments  that  are  not  valued  at  fair  value, 
taking into account the uncollectibility history, the opinion of its legal advisors, if any, and other circumstances 
known at the time of calculation. In addition, and in accordance with IFRS 9, for the calculation of the allowance 
for bad debts on trade receivables, the Company considers the expected credit losses over their total useful 
life. 

Impairment of Goodwill 

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. In determining if there is impairment of 
goodwill, the Company calculates the value in use of the cash-generating units to which it has been allocated. 
The calculation of the value in use requires the determination by the entity of the future cash flows that should 
arise from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value. 

Recognition and Measurement of Deferred Income Tax Items 

Deferred tax assets are only recognized for temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that each 
entity, on an individual basis, will have enough future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can

be used. Tax loss carryforwards from prior years are only recognized when it is probable that each entity will 
have enough future taxable income against which they can be used. 

Pursuant  to  effective  regulations,  the  use  of  the  subsidiaries’  tax  credits  is  based  on  a  projection  analysis  of 
future income. 

The Company examines the recoverable value of deferred tax assets based on its business plans and books a 
valuation allowance, if appropriate, so that the net position of the deferred tax asset will reflect the probable 
recoverable value. 

Provisions for Lawsuits and Contingencies 

The elements taken into consideration for the calculation of the Provision for Lawsuits and Contingencies are 
determined based on the present value of the estimated costs arising from the lawsuits brought  against the 
Company, taking into consideration the opinion of its legal advisors. 

Determination of the Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets  

The Company reviews the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at each 
year-end.  

Measurement of the fair value of certain financial instruments 

The  fair  value  of  a  financial  instrument  is  the  amount  at  which  the  instrument  could  be  purchased  or  sold 
between  knowledgeable,  willing  parties  in  an  arm’s  length  transaction.  If  there  is  a  quoted  market  price 
available for an instrument in an active market, the fair value is calculated based on that price. 

If there is no quoted market price available for a financial instrument, its fair value is estimated based on the 
price  established  in  recent  transactions  involving  the  same  or  similar  instruments  and,  otherwise,  based  on 
valuation techniques regularly used in financial markets. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of 
methods and makes assumptions based on market conditions at closing.  

Impairment losses of certain assets other than accounts receivable (including property, plant and equipment, 
intangible assets, and investment properties) 

Certain  assets,  including  property,  plant  and  equipment,  intangible  assets,  and  investment  properties  are 
subject to impairment testing. The Company records impairment losses when it estimates that there is objective 
evidence of such losses or when the cost of such losses will not be recovered through future cash flows. The 
evaluation of what constitutes impairment is a matter of significant judgment. The impairment of non-financial 
assets is dealt with in more depth in Note 2.18. 

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION 

The  Company  is  mainly  engaged  in  media  and  entertainment  activities,  which  are  carried  out  through  the 
companies  in  which  it  holds  a  participating  interest.  Based  on  the  nature,  clients,  and  risks  involved,  the 
following business segments have been identified, which are directly related to the way in which the Company 
assesses its business performance:

−  The segment Print and Digital Publications mainly comprises the operations of its subsidiary AGEA and its 

subsidiary Cúspide, the printing business of OSA, CIMECO, and their respective subsidiaries. 

−  Broadcasting  and  Programming:  mainly  comprises  the  operations  of  its  subsidiaries  ARTEAR,  IESA  and 

Radio Mitre, and their respective subsidiaries, including Telecor, Pol-Ka, and Carburando. 

−  Other:  mainly  comprises  the  operations  of  its  controlled  company  GCGC.  Additionally,  this  segment 

includes the Company’s own operations (typical of a holding company). 

The Company has adopted IFRS 8 - Segment Information, which defines operating segments as those identified 
based on internal reports with respect to the components of the company regularly reviewed by the Board of 
Directors,  the  main  operating  decisions  maker,  to  allocate  resources  and  assess  their  performance.  The 
Company uses adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is a 
significant  performance  measure  of  its  businesses,  since  it  is  commonly  used  in  the  industry  to  analyze  and 
compare media companies based on operating performance, indebtedness, and liquidity. However, adjusted 
EBITDA does not measure net income or cash flows generated by operations and should not be considered as 
an alternative to net income, an indication of the Company’s financial performance, an alternative to cash flows 
generated by operating activities or a measure of liquidity. Since adjusted EBITDA is not defined by IFRS, it is 
possible that other companies may calculate it differently. Therefore, the adjusted EBITDA reported by other 
companies may not be comparable to the Company’s reported adjusted EBITDA. 

The following information as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 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  1  to  these  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  includes  additional  information  about  the  Company’s 
businesses.

The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill considering each company for which it records goodwill 
as a different cash-generating unit (“CGU”).  

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 approved by Management, 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. In particular, the annual real discount rate applied to the projections 
of Impripost’s and Patagonik's cash flows is of approximately 16.82% and 15.68%, respectively. The goodwill 
of  those  companies  corresponds  to  interests  in  joint  ventures,  which  are  disclosed  under  “Investments  in 
Unconsolidated Affiliates” (Note 5.5).

5.17  Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities 

Certain  controlled  companies  have  real  property  lease  agreements  pursuant  to  IFRS  16.  The  Company 
recognized the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability as of the date of execution of the 
agreement  (equal  to  the  present  value  as  of  that  date  of  the  remaining  lease  payments,  which  were 
discounted at a borrowing rate). 

Right-of-use  assets  and  lease  liabilities  related  to  the  above-mentioned  agreements  are  disclosed  in  a 
separate item of Assets and Liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The 
amortization of those assets is disclosed under Amortization of Right-of-Use Assets.

NOTE 8 - PROVISIONS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES  

8.1  Claims and Disputes with Governmental Agencies 

a.  On July 12, 2013, the Company was served notice of Resolution No. 17,131 dated 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 was, among other things, null and void, because it lacked sufficient grounds and its enactment 
was 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 V of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative 
Matters issued an injunction, whereby it suspended the effects of Resolution No. 17,131/2013 dated July 
11, 2013. On July 5, 2022 Chamber V of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative Matters 
notified the Company of the decision rendered in re “Grupo Clarín S.A. v. CNV  – Resol No. 17,131/13 
(File  737/13)”  File  No.  29,563/2013,  whereby  it  admitted  the  direct  appeal  and  ordered  the  nullity  of 
Resolution No. 17,131/2013, which had rendered irregular and with no effect for administrative purposes 
the Company’s Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2013. Said decision became 
final because the CNV did not file an extraordinary appeal. 

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 consolidated financial statements, the final statements have been submitted and the file 
is pending the Court’s decision. 

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 consolidated financial statements, the final statements have been submitted and the file 
is pending the Court’s decision. 

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,  the  final  statements  have  been 
submitted and the file is pending the Court’s decision. 

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 consolidated financial statements and as informed by GC Dominio S.A., that company has filed

a  response  to  the  above-mentioned  claim,  the  final  statements  have  been  submitted  and  the  file  is 
pending the Court’s decision. 

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 consolidated financial statements, the Company has filed a response and produced evidence. The 
final statements have been submitted and the file is pending the Court’s decision. 

On  April  03,  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 consolidated 
financial  statements,  the  Company  has  filed  a  response  and  produced  evidence.  The  final  statements 
have been submitted and the file is pending the Court’s decision. 

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  with  respect  to  the  decision  rendered  by  the  Court  of  Appeals  on 
Commercial Matters, the Company and its legal advisors believe 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 economic consequences in this regard. 

b.  The Argentine Federal Revenue Service (“AFIP”) served the subsidiary CIMECO with a notice challenging 
its income tax assessment for fiscal years 2000, 2001 and 2002. In such notice, the AFIP challenged mainly 
the deduction of interest and exchange differences in the tax returns filed for those years. If AFIP’s position 
prevails, CIMECO’s maximum contingency as of December 31, 2023 would amount to approximately $ 
12.3 million for taxes and $ 82.8 million for interest.  

CIMECO filed a response, which was dismissed by the tax authorities. The tax authorities issued their own 
official assessment and imposed penalties. CIMECO appealed the tax authorities’ resolution before the 
National Tax Court on August 15, 2007. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, CIMECO received a pro forma income tax assessment from 
the AFIP for fiscal periods 2003 through 2007, as a consequence of AFIP’s challenge to CIMECO’s income 
tax assessments for the periods 2000 through 2002 mentioned above. CIMECO filed a response before 
AFIP, rejecting such assessment and requesting the suspension of administrative proceedings until the 
Federal Tax Court renders its decision on the merits. 

During 2011, the AFIP served CIMECO with a notice stating the income tax charges assessed for years 
2003 through 2007 and ordering the initiation of summary proceedings. The AFIP’s assessment shows a 
difference in its favor in the Income Tax liability for the periods indicated above for an amount in excess 
of  the  amount  that  had  been  estimated  originally,  as  a  result  of  the  method  used  to  calculate  certain 
deductions. CIMECO responded to the assessment rejecting all of the adjustments and requesting that 
the proceedings be rendered without effect and filed, with no further actions to be taken.

On April 26, 2012, the AFIP issued a new official assessment comprising the fiscal years 2003 through 
2007,  in  which  it  applied  the  same  method  for  the  calculation  as  that  used  for  the  administrative 
settlement, claiming a total liability of $ 120 million. On May 21, 2012, an appeal was filed with the Federal 
Tax Court. 

On December 18, 2017, the company was served notice of Resolution No. 132/2017 (DV MRRI) which 
imposed  on  CIMECO  a  fine  of  approximately  $  33  million  in  historical  currency  as  of  that  date  for  an 
alleged omission of income tax for fiscal periods 2003-2007, pursuant to Section 45 of Law No. 11,683. 

CIMECO  and  its  legal  and  tax  advisors  believe  CIMECO  has  strong  grounds  to  defend  the  criteria 
adopted  in  its  tax  returns.  Such  criteria  would  also  provide  a  reasonable  basis  to  hold  that  the  fine 
imposed  was  illegitimate.  Therefore,  CIMECO  considers  that  AFIP’s  claims  will  not  prosper  before  a 
judicial court.  Accordingly, CIMECO has  not booked an allowance in connection with the effects such 
challenges may have. 

c.  By means of Resolution 16,364/2010, dated and notified to AGEA as of July 15, 2010, the CNV’s Board 
of Directors decided to initiate summary proceedings against AGEA and certain members as of the date 
of  initiation  of  summary  proceedings  and  former  members  of  its  board  of  directors  and  supervisory 
commission, for alleged infringement of the Argentine General Associations Law, Decree No. 677/01 and 
Law No, 22,315. AGEA, and the members as of the date of initiation of summary proceedings and former 
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  supervisory  commission  who  are  subject  to  the  summary 
proceedings,  duly  filed  their  respective  responses.  Subsequently,  the  file  was  submitted  to  the  Legal 
Affairs  Division  of  the  CNV.  On  September  9,  2019,  the  CNV  received  the  file  from  the  Criminal  and 
Correctional Court No. 11, which had been previously held by the Ministry of Economy. Subsequently, 
the CNV set the date for the preliminary hearing for March 11, 2020, which was suspended by a decision 
rendered  on  February  14,  2020  until  it  has  been  duly  clarified  how  each  of  the  parties  subject  to  the 
summary proceedings exercised its due process rights. On September 25, 2023, the CNV served notice 
of Resolution RRFCO 2023 258 APN CNV dated September 20, 2023, which decreed that the claim had 
exceeded  the  applicable  statute  of  limitations  in  relation  to  the  parties  subject  to  the  summary 
proceedings. 

d.  Through the Joint Confidential Resolution dated October 30, 2017 (No. RRFCO-2017-12-APN-DIR-CNV), 
subsequently supplemented with the Joint Confidential Resolution dated November 24, 2017 (No. RRFC-
2017-16-APN-DIR, served on the Company on December 4, 2017, the CNV decided to initiate summary 
proceedings against the Company and the members of its Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee 
and  Audit  Committee  as  of  the  date  of  the  alleged  breach  for  alleged  infringement  of  their  duty  to 
disclose the execution of an irrevocable contribution agreement with the Company’s subsidiary AGEA on 
June 24, 2014, as a relevant fact, pursuant to Section 1, 2 and 3, subsection 16), Chapter I, Title XII of the 
Rules.  The  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  AGEA,  as  well  as  its  directors  and  syndics  are  also  subject  to 
summary proceedings. Each of them filed their respective responses in due time and form. On April 25, 
2018, the preliminary hearing was held and the proceedings moved on to the presentation of evidence. 
On October 9, 2018, the parties to the summary proceeding submitted the corresponding legal brief. 
On January 25, 2021, the Company was notified of the appointment of an expert accountant to perform 
an accounting expert review as a measure to furnish additional evidence. AGEA requested the recusation 
of said expert accountant on grounds of bias, appointed its own expert accountant, and added new items 
subject to expert review. On February 08, 2021, AGEA was notified of a decision rendered on February 
05,  2021,  whereby,  among  other  issues,  the  expert  accountant  was  served  notice  of  the  request  for 
recusation.  The  expert  accountant  had  to  state  whether  she  fell  within  the  grounds  for  recusation

provided under Article 17 of the Argentine Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure. On May 5, 2021, 
the CNV served notice to AGEA of its decision dated April 30, 2021, whereby the CNV dismissed the 
objections filed against the decision served on January 25, 2021, dismissed the recusation of the expert 
accountant  appointed  by  the  CNV,  appointed  the  CPA  Silvina  Contini  as  party-appointed  technical 
advisor, and admitted the new items subject to expert review that had been proposed by those subject 
to  the  summary  proceedings.  On  June  7  and  14,  2021,  CNV  Accountant  M.  Masotto  and  Accountant 
Contini, respectively, filed their accounting expert reviews. AGEA did not challenge the expert review of 
the  expert  accountant  appointed  by  the  CNV.  On  July  28,  2021,  AGEA  was  served  with  a  Decision 
rendered by the CNV on July 19, 2021, whereby the CNV requested AGEA to provide the supplement to 
the  Legal  Brief  on  the  accounting  expert  reviews  it  had  filed.  On  August  18,  2021,  AGEA  filed  the 
supplement to the Legal Brief relating to the accounting expert review. On December 22, 2022, the CNV 
notified  the  Company,  the  permanent  members  of  the  Supervisory  Committee  and  directors  that, 
regarding the summary proceedings, it had decided i) to declare that Messrs. Héctor H. Magnetto, Lucio

brought  regarding  the  execution  of  the  agreement  dated  June  24,  2014,  ii)  to  admit  the  exception 
brought  by  Messrs.  Jorge  I.  Oria  and  Martín  G.  Etchevers  stating  that  they  could  not  be  sued  by  the 
claimant for the charges brought regarding the execution of the agreement dated January 1, 2014, iii) to 
acquit  AGEA  and  its  permanent  directors  in  office  at  the  time  of  the  occurrence  of  the  events  that 
motivated the proceedings, Messrs. Alejandro A. Urricelqui, Héctor M. Aranda, and Jorge C. Rendo for 
the alleged failure to comply with Article 3, subsection 16), Section II, Chapter I, Title XII of the Regulations 
(TR 2013, as amended), iv) to acquit the permanent members of AGEA's Supervisory Committee in office 
at the time of the occurrence of the events that motivated the proceedings, Messrs. Carlos A. P. DI Candia, 
Raúl A. Morán, and Hugo E. López, for the alleged failure to comply with Article 294, subsection 1) of Law 
No. 19,550, and v) to impose fines in the amount of $500,000 and $800,000 on AGEA and Grupo Clarín, 
respectively, and to the permanent members of the Supervisory Committee and directors in office at the 
time  of  the  occurrence  of  the  events  that  motivated  the  proceedings.  On  February  10,  2023,  appeals 
were filed by those subject to the summary proceedings against such decision. As of the date of these 
Financial Statements, the  appeals are pending before Chamber I of the National Court  of  Appeals on 
Federal Civil and Commercial Matters, under file No. 2180/2023, in re Arte Gráfico Editorial Argentino 
S.A.  and  other  v.  Argentine  Securities  Commission  on  appeal  against  the  decision  rendered  by  the 
Argentine  Securities  Commission.  On  March  22,  2023,  the  Chamber  acknowledged  the  filing  of  the 
appeals and ordered the claimants to pay the court costs, and the bono de derecho fijo [a mandatory fee 
to support Argentina’s Bar Association's activities]. On May 23, 2023, the Company complied with such 
payments. On August 1, 2023, the appellant requested the Chamber to render a decision. On September 
18, 2023, following the Prosecutor's Opinion, the case was moved to judgment. 

In  addition,  through  the  Joint  Confidential  Resolution  No.  RRFCO-2017-11-APN-DIR#CNV  dated 
October  30,  2017  served  on  December  1,  2017,  the  CNV  decided  to  initiate  summary  proceedings 
against  the  Company  and  the  members  of  its  Board  of  Directors,  Supervisory  Committee  and  Audit 
Committee and the Market Relations Officer as of the date of the alleged breach for alleged infringement 
of  their  duty  to  disclose  the  appeal  filed  against  the  injunction  issued  on  December  20,  2011  in  re 
“Supercanal S.A. vs. Cablevisión S.A. and Other on Complaint for the protection of constitutional rights, 
Injunction”, and the dismissal of the appeal by the Federal Court of Appeals of Mendoza, as a relevant 
fact, pursuant to Section 1, 2 and 3, subsection 16), Chapter I, Title XII of the Rules. Cablevisión, as well 
as its directors and members of the Supervisory Committee and the Market Relations Officer as of the 
date  of  the  alleged  breach  are  also  subject  to  the  summary  proceedings.  Each  of  them  filed  their 
respective responses in due time and form. On April 25, 2018, the preliminary hearing was held and the 
proceedings moved on to the presentation of evidence. On October 9, 2018, the parties to the summary

proceeding submitted the corresponding legal brief. On January 25, 2021, the Company was served 
with  Resolution  RRFCO-2020-140-APN-DIRCNV,  whereby  the  CNV  imposed  fines  in  the  amount  of 
$100,000 and $200,000 to Cablevisión and Grupo Clarín, respectively. On February 17, 2021, they filed 
the respective appeals, which are pending before Chamber No. I of the National Court of Appeals on 
Federal  Civil  and  Commercial  Matters,  in  re:  SATTER,  MUNEER  AND  OTHER  VS.  ARGENTINE 
SECURITIES COMMISSION ON APPEAL AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION. On August 31, 2022, 
the Chamber acknowledged the appeals and ordered the payment of court costs. On September 26, 
2022,  the  CNV  filed  a  response  regarding  those  appeals.  On  February  03,  2023,  the  Company  was 
notified of the decision rendered by Chamber I, whereby it ratified Resolution No. RRFCO-2020-140-
APN-DIRCNV. On February 09, 2023, a filing was made requesting that the decision be deemed to have 
been complied with by Grupo Clarín S.A., the permanent Members of the Supervisory Committee and 
directors through the payment made by Mr. Lopez Carnabucci on February 08, 2022. On February 15, 
2023, Telecom Argentina S.A., surviving company after the merger with Cablevisión S.A., settled the fine 
and requested the closing of the proceeding, and on February 28, 2023, the payment made by Telecom 
Argentina  S.A. was acknowledged.  On June 9, 2023, the Chamber returned to the CNV the case file 
"Cablevisión S.A. and others vs. National Securities Commission on Appeal of administrative resolution" 
in paper format. 

e.  The subsidiary AGEA received several inspections from the AFIP aimed at verifying compliance with the 
so-called  competitiveness  plans  implemented  by  the  National  Executive  Branch.  After  several  reports 
issued by the AFIP and the corresponding Resolutions issued by the Ministry of Economy, such agencies 
allege that certain acts performed by AGEA during 2002 lead to the nullity of some of the benefits granted 
under said plans for an estimated total amount of $ 102.8 million in historical currency as of that date, 
including adjustments and accessory amounts. In April 2013, AGEA was served notice of AFIP Resolution 
No.  03/13,  whereby  such  agency  decided  to  exclude  AGEA  from  the  Registry  of  Beneficiaries  of  the 
Competitiveness  and  Employment  Generation  Agreements  under  the  Cultural  Sector  Agreement,  as 
from  March  4,  2002.  The  AFIP  ordered  the  restatement  of  the  tax  returns  and  the  deposit  of  the 
corresponding amounts. AGEA filed an appeal against such resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
in  re  “AEDBA  and  Other  v.  Ministry  of  Economy  Resolution  No.  58/10”,  the  Federal  Court  on 
Administrative  Matters  No.  6  issued  an  injunction  ordering  AFIP  to  refrain  from  initiating  and/or 
continuing with the administrative proceeding/s and/or any act that would entail the enforcement of the 
amounts  payable  under  Resolution  No.  3/13,  until  a  final  decision  is  rendered.  Notwithstanding  the 
foregoing, AGEA cannot assure that the appeal will be resolved in its favor. Subsequent to the issuance 
of the injunction mentioned above, the National Government requested that the injunction be declared 
expired due to the application of the time limitations provided under article 5 of Law No. 26,854.  The 
intervening court lifted the injunction. AGEA filed an appeal against such decision but the appeal was 
dismissed on June 4, 2019.  On November 28, 2018, upon new requests made by the AFIP, the Company 
requested a new injunction in the case, requesting that AFIP be ordered to suspend the debt assessment 
procedures  initiated  by  that  agency.  On  May  21,  2019,  the  Company  requested  an  interim  injunction 
ordering the suspension of the effects of AFIP Resolutions Nos. 24/19 and 25/19 under which AGEA was 
demanded  to  pay,  as  well  as  the  suspension  of  any  existing  deadlines  and  any  other  activity  by  AFIP 
seeking to assess debt or to collect any amounts in connection with the tax benefits, the expiration of 
which had been challenged. Such injunction was issued on May 23, 2019, and on May 28, 2019, the court 
rendered a decision whereby it clarified that the suspension of the effects included the calculation of the 
deadlines to file an appeal with the National Tax Court. The AFIP requested the revocation of the new 
injunction requested in November 2018 and the immediate lifting of the interim injunction. On July 18, 
2019, the Court of Appeals revoked the interim injunction. As a result, AGEA has filed an appeal with the 
National Tax Court. On July 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals decided that the case was ready for resolution

in connection with the injunction requested in November 2018. AGEA’s legal advisors believe that there 
are reasonable possibilities that the outcome will be favorable. 

f.  Pursuant to Resolution No. 17,522 issued on September 18, 2014 and notified to AGEA on September 
24,  2014,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  CNV  decided  to  initiate  summary  proceedings  against  AGEA, 
certain current and former members of its Board of Directors and supervisory commission  –who occupied 
those positions between September 19, 2008 and the date of initiation of summary proceedings- and 
against that company's Head of Market Relations, for an alleged failure to comply with the duty to inform 
that  AGEA  was  a  co-defendant  in  re  “CONSUMIDORES  FINANCIEROS  ASOCIACION  CIVIL  PARA  SU 
DEFENSA AND OTHER V. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. AND OTHER on EXPEDITED SUMMARY PROCEEDING” 
(File No. 065441/08). The summary proceeding is grounded on an alleged failure to comply with Section 
5,  subsection  a),  the  first  part  of  Section  6  and  Section  8,  subsection  a)  paragraph  V)  of  the  Annex  to 
Decree No. 677/01; with Sections 1, 2 and 3, subsection 9) of Chapter XXI of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 
2001  as  amended)  –now  Section  1  of  Part  I,  Chapter  I,  Title  XII  of  the  REGULATIONS  (T.R.  2013  as 
amended); with Sections 2 and 3 subsection 9) of Part II, Chapter I, Title XII of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 
2013 as amended); with Section 11 subsection a.12) of Chapter XXVI of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 2001 as 
amended) –now Section 11 subsection 13) of Part IV, Chapter I, Title XV of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 2013 
as amended); with Section 99 and 100 of Law No. 26,831; and with Sections 59 and 294 subsection 9) of 
Law No. 19,550. AGEA, and the members as of the date of initiation of summary proceedings and former 
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  supervisory  commission  who  are  subject  to  the  summary 
proceedings, duly filed their respective responses. On February 11, 2015, the preliminary hearing was 
held pursuant to Article 8, subsection b.1.), Title XIII, Chapter II, Section II of the Regulations (T.R 2013, as 
amended). On August 19, 2015, the company submitted the legal brief for the discovery stage. On June 
22, 2015, the judge ordered discovery proceedings. On August 19, 2015, the company submitted the 
legal  brief  for  the  discovery  stage.  On  June  9,  2021,  the  Company  was  served  with  the  Disciplinary 
Resolution upon the conclusion of the Summary Proceedings RRFCO-2021-158-APN-DIRCNV dated May 
18,  2021,  whereby  the  CNV  declared  the  claim  filed  against  Saturnino  Herrero  Mitjans  extinguished, 
dismissed the nullity and unconstitutionality claims, and acquitted the Company, its permanent directors, 
the permanent members of the Supervisory Committee and the Head of Market Relations. As a result, 
with the CNV resolution being final as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the case file 
was closed. 

g.  On February 27, 2013, the AFIP served IESA with a notice stating the income tax and value added tax 
charges assessed for fiscal period 2008 and ordering the initiation of summary proceedings for alleged 
omitted  taxes. The AFIP  mainly challenged the deduction of certain expenses  and fees, as well as the 
calculation of the corresponding tax credit. IESA filed an appeal in connection with such order, which is 
currently  pending  before  the  National  Tax  Court.  The  official  assessment  amounts  to  $  1.4  million  for 
income tax and $ 7.9 million for late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023. 

The official value-added tax assessment amounts to $ 0.8 million for tax differences and $ 4.3 million for 
late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023.  

On October 21, 2014, the AFIP served  IESA with a notice stating the income tax and value added tax 
charges assessed for fiscal period 2009 and ordering the initiation of summary proceedings for alleged 
omitted  taxes.  The  AFIP  mainly  challenged  the  deduction  of  fees,  as  well  as  the  calculation  of  the 
corresponding tax credit. IESA filed an appeal in connection with such order, which is currently pending 
before the National Tax Court. The official assessment amounts to $ 1.2 million for income tax and $ 6.7 
million for late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023.

The official value-added tax assessment amounts to $ 0.5 million for tax differences and $ 2.6 million for 
late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023. 

IESA and its legal and tax advisors believe that it has strong arguments in its favor to defend the criterion 
adopted in its tax returns. 

h.  Pursuant to CNV Resolution No. 16,834 dated June 14, 2012 notified to the Company on June 27, 2012, 
the CNV ordered the initiation of summary proceedings against the Company and the members of its 
Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee and Audit Committee in office at the time of the occurrence 
of the events that motivated the proceedings (September 19, 2008) for alleged failure to comply with the 
duty to inform. Under said Resolution, the CNV argues that the Company allegedly failed to comply with 
the duty to disclose the filing of a claim against it entitled “Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil 
para su defensa and other v. Grupo Clarín on/Ordinary”, which the CNV considers relevant. On July 25, 
2012, Cablevisión filed a response petitioning that its defenses be sustained and that all charges against 
it be dismissed. On March 13, 2020, the Company was served with Resolution RRFCO-2020-112-APN-
DIR#CNV, whereby the CNV imposed  a fine of $300,000 on the Company and, on a joint and several 
basis, on its Directors and members of the  Supervisory  Committee. On June  11, 2020, the respective 
appeals were filed, which are pending before Chamber II of the Court of Appeals on Federal Civil and 
Commercial  Matters  in  re  “MENZANI,  CARLOS  A  AND  OTHER  VS.  CNV  ON  APPEAL  AGAINST 
ADMINISTRATIVE  RESOLUTION”  File  No.  2,224/2021.  On  July  13,  2022,  the  CNV  filed  a  response 
regarding those appeals and, subsequently, the court costs were settled. On September 21, 2022, the 
court started reviewing the appeals to render a decision. On February 08, 2023, the Court notified the 
appellants of the rejection of the excusation of the Judge Alfredo Silverio Gusmán, a member of Chamber 
II.  On  April  27,  2023,  Chamber  II  rendered  a  decision  whereby  it:  i)  granted  the  appeals  filed  by  the 
claimants  and,  consequently,  revoked  the  Joint  Confidential  Resolution  No.  RRFCO-2020-112-APN-
DIR#CNV issued on March 11, 2020, whereby the CNV had imposed a fine on Grupo Clarín S.A. and, on 
a  joint  and  several  basis,  on  its  Directors,  members  of  the  Audit  Committee  and  members  of  the 
Supervisory  Committee,  in  all  cases  referring  to  permanent  members  in  office  at  the  time  of  the 
occurrence  of  the  events  that  motivated  the  proceedings,  for  having  violated  the  guarantees  of 
reasonable  timeframe  and  due  process  protected  by  the  Argentine  National  Constitution  and  the 
American Convention on Human Rights, and ii) awarded the costs of the appeal to the CNV. On May 22, 
2023, the CNV filed an extraordinary appeal against the decision rendered on April 27, 2023. On July 14, 
2023, the claimants answered the extraordinary appeal. The Company and its legal advisors believe that 
the  company  has  strong  arguments  in  its  favor.  Nevertheless,  the  Company  cannot  assure  that  the 
outcome of said summary proceedings will be favorable. As of the date of these financial statements, a 
decision  has  not  been  rendered  on  the  extraordinary  appeal.  On  September  1,  2023,  the  Chamber 
dismissed the extraordinary appeal and, on September 12, 2023, the CNV filed a direct appeal, which is 
pending resolution as of the date of these financial statements. 

i.  On  December  29,  2020,  GCGC  was  notified  of  a  decision  rendered  by  the  Directorate-General  of 
Revenues (“DGR”, for its Spanish acronym) of the Public Revenue Administration for the City of Buenos 
Aires, whereby said agency challenged the turnover tax returns corresponding to fiscal period 2014 of 
Compañía de Medios Digitales (CMD) S.A. (a company merged into GCGC effective as of January 01, 
2019). Accordingly, said agency issued an official tax assessment. The DGR considered that the TV trivia 
games  over  text  messages  do  not  fall  within  the  definition  of  Information  and  Communication 
Technologies (ICTs) activities, therefore, CMD is not entitled to the benefits granted by the Technological

District (Law No. 2,972), which is contrary to the provisions of the enforcement authority of the above-
mentioned law. 

The official tax assessment amounts to $ 8.8 million for turnover tax differences for fiscal period 2014, 
with an estimated $ 37 million in late-payment interest. 

On  that  same  date,  GCGC  was  served  with  a  decision  rendered  by  the  DGR,  whereby  it  ordered  the 
initiation  of  the  official  tax  assessment  procedure  regarding  turnover  tax  liabilities  of  CMD  for  fiscal 
periods 2015 and 2016. 

On February 03, 2021, GCGC filed an appeal with such agency regarding the official tax assessment for 
fiscal period 2014 and answered the order for the initiation of the official tax assessment for fiscal periods 
2015 and 2016. 

On December 27, 2022, GCGC was notified of a decision challenging turnover tax returns for the periods 
2015 and 2016. On January 31, 2023, an appeal was filed against that decision. The official tax assessment 
amounts to $ 20.1 million in tax differences, with an estimated $ 54.7 million in late-payment interest. 

GCGC and its legal and tax advisors believe that it has strong grounds to defend the criterion adopted in 
its tax returns. Accordingly, it has not booked an allowance in connection with the effects that the above-
mentioned situations may have. 

j.  The AFIP notified Pol-ka of the “Inspection Report on Social Security Contributions”, whereby said agency 
claimed differences in employer contributions for the periods June 2009 to May 2021. The AFIP claimed 
that  Pol-ka  did  not  qualify  for  the  rate  applicable  to  the  industrial  activity  as  provided  by  Decree  No. 
814/2001,  and  stated  that  the  differences  in  employer  contributions  corresponding  to  these  periods 
amounted to $ 79 million plus late-payment interest and infringements of the social security regime.  

On December 23, 2021, Pol-ka filed an appeal, challenging the above-mentioned “Inspection Report on 
Social Security Contributions”, claiming the nullity of the administrative actions, the qualification of Pol-
ka's activities as industrial activities, and the expiration of the statutes of limitation regarding the AFIP's 
powers to assess and claim differences for the periods June 2009 to November 2011.  

Regarding the appeal filed by Pol-ka, on February 13, 2023, AFIP decided to partially grant the appeal, 
and to revoke the charges for the periods from June to October 2009, but confirmed the debt and fine 
assessed for the remaining periods. On April 11, 2023, Pol-Ka filed an appeal against the tax assessment. 
On June 12, 2023, the Tax Authorities submitted the file to Chamber 3 of the Federal Court of Appeals. 

If  AFIP’s  assessment  prevailed,  considering  Pol-ka's  position  regarding  the  above-mentioned  periods, 
the maximum contingency would amount to $378 million as of December 31, 2023. 

Pol-Ka and its legal and tax advisors believe Pol-Ka has strong grounds to defend the criteria adopted in 
its tax returns. Therefore, Pol-Ka considers that AFIP’s claims will not prosper. Accordingly, Pol-Ka has not 
booked an allowance in connection with the effects such challenges may have. 

k.  On January 13, 2023, ARTEAR was served notice of Resolution of No. 2023-8-APN-SC#MEC issued by 
the Secretariat of Trade on January 11, 2023, whereby ARTEAR and another company were imposed a

single fine of $ 150 million for finding them responsible of engaging in abuse of dominant position in 
breach of Articles 1 and 3, subsections d) and h) of Law 27,442 and article 46 subsection b) of Law 25,156.  

On February 03, 2023, ARTEAR filed an appeal with the CNDC. On May 30, 2023, the file was submitted 
to  Chamber  II  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  on  Federal  Civil  and  Commercial  Matters  in  re  “ARTE 
RADIOTELEVISIVO  ARGENTINO  S.A.  AND  OTHER  V.  NATIONAL  GOVERNMENT.  MINISTRY  OF 
ECONOMY.  SECRETARIAT OF TRADE.  CNDC  ON  APPEAL FILED AGAINST RESOLUTION  ISSUED BY 
THE  NATIONAL  ANTITRUST  COMMISSION”  (file  7331/2023)  and  is  currently  pending  before  such 
chamber. 

ARTEAR and its legal advisors  believe that  they have sound grounds to claim that  the fine imposed is 
illegitimate. Therefore, ARTEAR believes that the grounds on which such resolution is based will not be 
admitted before a judicial court. 

l.  On September 5, 2023, ARTEAR was notified of the claim filed in re "ASOCIACION DE DEFENSA DEL 
ASEGURADO CONSUMIDORES  Y USUARIOS-ADACU- ASOCIACIÓN CIVIL  v.  TELECOM  ARGENTINA 
S.A. and OTHER on Ordinary Proceeding"  File No. 003062/2023, pending before Clerk’s Office No. 51 
of the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 26. The claim is grounded on the fine 
imposed by the CNDC described in Note 8.1.k to these Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The claim brought by ADACU seeks the reimbursement to users who paid for service packs or plans that 
included  PAY  TELEVISION  (either  as  one  of  the  services  included  in  the  relevant  plan  or  as  a  single 
service),  in  the  relevant  area  of  the  Autonomous  City  of  Buenos  Aires,  boroughs  of  the  AMBA  region 
(Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires), the City of Rosario, and the City of Córdoba, from December 1, 2017 
to July 31, 2021, of 1.21% as compensatory damages and 2% as punitive damages, for all amounts paid 
by  consumers  in  the  relevant  area  of  the  contested  plans  during  the  disputed  period,  plus  interest, 
alleging that the fixing of prices qualifies as an anti-competitive practice. 

On September 26, 2023, a response was filed in due time and form. 

ARTEAR and its legal advisors believe that they have sound grounds for the claim brought by ADACU to 
be dismissed, especially since ARTEAR does not have any subscribers who pay for any services; instead, 
users are subscribed to the services rendered by the cable operators. 

8.2  Other Claims and Disputes 

a.  Pursuant to a notarial certificate issued on September 19, 2008, AGEA and the Company were served 
notice of a legal action brought by an entity representing consumers and alleged financial victims (and 
by  six  other  individuals).  Claimants  are  Multicanal  noteholders  who  claim  to  be  allegedly  affected  by 
Multicanal’s APE. The claim is grounded on a Consumer Defense Law that, in general terms, provides for 
an ambiguous procedure that is very strict against the defendant. 

The Company, AGEA and certain directors and members of the supervisory committee and shareholders 
have  been  served  notice  of  the  claim.  After  rejecting  certain  preliminary  defenses  presented  by  the 
defendants, such as the application of statutes of limitation and the failure to comply with prior mediation 
procedures, the claim  followed ordinary procedure  and the above-mentioned persons duly filed their 
respective responses.

On September 4, 2017, the Court of First Instance rejected the claim brought by the entity representing 
consumers and alleged financial victims and by individuals. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial 
Statements,  both  parties  filed  an  appeal  against  that  decision  and  the  file  is  currently  pending  for  its 
resolution before the Court of Appeals. 

On  September  12,  2019,  Chamber  D  of  the  Commercial  Court  of  Appeals  confirmed  the  decision 
rendered  by  the  court  of  first  instance  that  had  rejected  the  claim  brought  by  the  entity  representing 
consumers and alleged financial victims. On October 7, 2019, the entity representing consumers filed a 
federal extraordinary appeal against this decision. AGEA and the Company filed a response on October 
28, 2019. On December 29, 2022, Chamber D of the National Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters 
decided to dismiss the extraordinary appeal filed by the claimant. 

b.  On September 16, 2010 the Company was served notice of a claim brought against it by Consumidores 
Financieros  Asociación  Civil  para  su  Defensa.  The  plaintiff  claims  a  reimbursement  of  the  difference 
between the value of the shares of the Company purchased at their initial public offering and the value 
of the shares at the time a decision is rendered in the case. The Company has duly responded to the 
claim and the intervening Court  has  deemed the claim responded. The proceeding is currently in the 
discovery stage. 

c. 

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.  

On  March  23,  2022,  Chamber  F  of  the  National  Court  of  Appeals  on  Commercial  Matters  ratified  the 
decision rendered by the Court of First Instance which had dismissed the claim seeking to extend the 
bankruptcy brought by the claimant. The latter filed an extraordinary appeal  against such decision and 
the  Company  requested  dismissal  of  such  extraordinary  appeal.  As  of  the  date  of  these  Financial 
Statements, the extraordinary appeal filed by the claimant was dismissed. 

d.  The shareholders of Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. approved a capital increase, whereby ARTEAR increased 
its equity interest in such company to 91.3%. ARTEAR paid in the full amount subscribed. Notwithstanding 
the foregoing, within the framework of a claim requesting the nullification of the decisions rendered at a 
Shareholders’  Meeting  held  on  July  13,  2020,  pending  before  the  National  Court  of  First  Instance  on 
Commercial  Matters  No.  3,  Clerk’s  Office  No.  6  of  the  City  of  Buenos  Aires,  the  effects  of  the  above-
mentioned  capital  increase  were  suspended  by  an  injunction  granted  at  the  request  of  a  minority 
shareholder of Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. Accordingly, ARTEAR exercised its political and economic rights 
in Pol-ka Producciones S.A. for a number of shares representing 55% of the capital stock and votes of that 
company until June 14, 2022, the date on which the Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters revoked 
said injunction. Currently, the claim brought to request the nullification of the decisions rendered at the 
Shareholders’ Meeting held on July 13, 2020 is still pending resolution. 

In February 2023, Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. was notified of another claim brought by one of its minority 
shareholders requesting the nullification of the decisions rendered at a Shareholders’ Meeting held on

July 13, 2020, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 3, Clerk’s

Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. and its legal advisors believe that the claim lacks legal grounds and that Pol-Ka 
Producciones S.A. will not have to face adverse consequences in this regard. 

8.3 Matters concerning Papel Prensa 

1. Papel Prensa suspended its operations with related parties between March 9 and April 21, 2010 pursuant 
to an injunction issued on March 8, 2010 by Judge Malde. In his ruling, Judge Malde decided to suspend the 
Board  of  Directors’  resolution  of  December  23,  2009,  which  had  approved  the  terms  and  conditions  of 
transactions with related parties for the year 2010. On April 21, 2010, the Board of Directors of Papel Prensa, 
following a proposal made by the court-appointed supervisor (interventor) and co-administrator, approved 
the resumption of Papel Prensa’s transactions with related parties under provisional conditions for as long as 
the decision rendered by the Board on December 23, 2009 remained suspended and/or until Papel Prensa’s 
corporate  bodies  established  a  business  practice  to  follow  with  related  parties.  Such  approval  involved 
suspending the application of volume discounts in connection with purchases made by related parties, which 
could be recognized in their favor, subject to the court’s decision on the appeal filed by Papel Prensa against 
Judge Malde’s injunction of March 8, 2010. As from April 21, 2010, transactions with related parties were 
resumed under the provisional conditions approved by the Board on April 21, 2010. 

At a meeting held on December 23, 2010, Papel Prensa’s Board of Directors approved new conditions that 
must  be  fulfilled  for  the  recognition  and  payment  of  volume  discounts  that  may  be  applicable  to  related 
parties  in  connection  with  purchases  of  paper  made  as  from  April  21,  2010.  These  new  conditions  are  as 
follows: (i) the lifting of the provisional suspension of the resolutions adopted by the Board at the meeting of 
December 23, 2009, as explained in the previous paragraph, and (ii) the resolution or end, by any means, of 
any state of uncertainty that may eventually exist about the conditions approved by Papel Prensa’s Board in 
the first item of the agenda of the meeting held on April 21, 2010, as a consequence of the claim brought by 
the  National  Government  in  re  “National  Government  –  Secretariat  of  Domestic  Trade  –  v./  Papel  Prensa 
S.A.I.C.F. y de M. on/ Ordinary”, File No. 17,615/97,564, pending before Federal Commercial Court of First 
Instance No. 26, Clerk’s Office No. 52. Under this proceeding, the  National Government sought to obtain, 
among  other  things,  a  declaratory  judgment  of  nullity  of  the  provisional  conditions  for  the  resumption  of 
transactions with related parties in connection with the purchase and sale of paper that had been approved 
by the Board of Papel Prensa in the first item of the agenda of the above-mentioned meeting held on April 
21, 2010. The court held that the claim became moot, as indicated in point 2 above. 

Furthermore,  at  this  meeting  held  on  December  23,  2010,  Papel  Prensa’s  Board  decided  to  maintain  the 
approved sales policy, but to subject the accrual and enforceability, and, consequently, the recognition and 
payment to the clients, of the eventual volume discounts that may be applicable to them with respect to paper 
purchases made between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, to a final favorable ruling in the claim 
brought by Papel Prensa against the constitutionality of SCI Resolution No. 1/2010, or to the final nullification 
of such Resolution No. 1/2010 in any other way or by any other legal means, whichever occurs first. In view of 
the decisions rendered in this case, the substantive claim, in this aspect, is now subject to the outcome of the 
claim brought by Papel Prensa against the constitutionality of Law No. 26,736. With respect to related parties, 
the Board of Directors of Papel Prensa approved the same sales policy and conditions as those approved for 
the other customers in general.

In a meeting held on December 27, 2011, the Board of Directors of Papel Prensa decided to maintain for 
2012  the  same  sales  policy  that  had  been  approved  for  2011  –  under  the  same  terms  and  conditions 
mentioned in the previous paragraph – for all of its customers in general (including related parties), which 
was maintained in subsequent years and, to date, no changes have been introduced.  

The commercial policy approved by Papel Prensa was affected by Law 26,736 –effective as from January 5, 
2012– which declared that the production, sale and distribution of wood pulp and newsprint were matters of 
public interest and set forth the regulatory framework to be adopted by the producers, sellers, distributors, 
and buyers of such inputs.  

Among  other  things,  the  Law  set  limits  and  established  conditions  applicable  to  Papel  Prensa  for  the 
production,  distribution  and  sale  of  newsprint  (including  a  formula  to  determine  the  price  of  paper),  and 
created the National Registry of Producers, Distributors and Sellers of Wood Pulp and Newsprint where all 
producers,  sellers,  distributors  and  buyers  shall  be  registered  as  a  mandatory  requirement  in  order  to 
produce, sell, distribute, and/or purchase newsprint and wood pulp.  

On February 10, 2012, AGEA registered with the National Registry of Producers, Distributors and Sellers of 
Wood Pulp and Newsprint (Record No. 63 under File No. S01:0052528/12), expressly stating for the record 
that such registration should not be construed as an acknowledgment or acceptance of the legitimacy of Law 
26,736 and/or  any other regulation issued in connection with such Law, since  they seriously affect several 
rights and guarantees of AGEA. 

On January 10, 2019, Law No. 27,498 was published in the Official Gazette. This law repealed certain articles 
of Law No. 26,736, allowing companies to offer their customers discounts, benefits or promotions based on 
purchase volumes. On the other hand, said law establishes parameters for granting extensions of payment 
terms, and prohibits, for a term of 10 years, to make changes to the wood pulp and newsprint import duties 
currently in effect, which are set at zero percent (0%). 

Pursuant to Article 11 of Emergency Decree No. 70/2023, published in the Official Gazette of Argentina on 
December 21, 2023, the National Government repealed Law No. 26,736. 

2. In March 2016, the Commercial Court of Appeals –Chamber C– summoned Papel Prensa, the CNV, and 
the  shareholders,  the  National  Government,  S.A.  La  Nación  CIMECO  and  AGEA  to  attend  a  hearing  for 
conciliatory purposes and with the aim of finding a comprehensive solution to the conflict. At that hearing, 
held on June 3, 2016, Papel Prensa, AGEA and the other shareholders present at the hearing (the National 
Government,  S.A.  La  Nación  and  CIMECO)  requested  that  the  procedural  periods  remain  suspended  in 
connection with the claims pending before that Court of Appeals, and also requested the court to order a 
shareholders’ meeting of Papel Prensa to address, basically, the issues included under subsections 1, 2 and 
3 of Section 234 of Law No. 19,550, as amended, corresponding to fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. On September 5, 2016, the Court of Appeals called for a Shareholders’ 
Meeting  as  requested  and,  at  such  meeting,  the  shareholders  approved  the  financial  statements  of  Papel 
Prensa for  the  years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and other accounting 
documentation  under  subsection  1,  Section  234  of  Law  No.  19,550,  as  amended,  appointed  directors, 
statutory auditors and members of the supervisory committee for the year 2016, approved the capitalization 
of the capital adjustment for  $ 123,293,385 in historical currency as of that  date, issued  a decision on the 
approval  and  disapproval  of  the  performance  of  certain  directors,  statutory  auditors  and  members  of  the 
supervisory committee during the full fiscal years under consideration, and unanimously appointed external 
auditors engaged with issuing an opinion on the financial statements of Papel Prensa as of December 31,

2016 and March 31, 2017. On October 4, 2017, the Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters rendered a 
decision on more than 90 proceedings declaring them moot as requested by Papel Prensa and revoking  - 
among others- Resolutions Nos. 16,647, 16,671, and 16,691 issued by the CNV. Both decisions rendered by 
the Court of Appeals became final. Papel Prensa submitted the same request to the Court of First Instance 
on Commercial Matters regarding most of the proceedings pending before the court and that had not been 
submitted to the Court of Appeals, at the request of the Court. The Judge of the Court of First Instance issued 
a favorable decision on the request and declared moot all of the claims within the scope of that request. At 
the General Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting that approved the financial statements of Papel Prensa 
for the year ended December 31, 2016, the shareholders resolved not to approve the performance of the 
representatives  appointed  to  the  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Supervisory  Committee  by  the  National 
Government who held office until February 2016, as well as the performance of the syndics who held office 
until  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  October  19,  2016,  also  representing  the  National  Government,  and 
decided  to  bring  a  corporate  liability  action  (Section  276  of  Law  19,550,  as  amended),  which  is  currently 
pending before Federal Commercial Court of First Instance No. 26, Clerk’s Office No. 52. 

3.  On  June  6,  2013,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  CNV  issued  CNV  Resolution  No.  17,102,  within  the 
framework  of  the  Administrative  File  No.  1,032/10,  whereby  it  required  that:  (i)  certain  members  of  Papel 
Prensa's  Supervisory  Committee  and  statutory  auditors  be  imposed  a  fine  of  $  150,000  each  in  historical 
currency as of that date; and (ii) Papel Prensa, certain members of its Board of Directors, one member of its 
Supervisory Committee and the members of its Oversight Board (all of them representatives of Papel Prensa's 
private shareholders) be imposed a joint and several fine of $ 800,000 in historical currency as of that date. 
Papel Prensa and its other current and former officers filed an appeal against the fine in due time and form, 
which is pending to date. On June 28, 2013, the fine was paid under protest in order to prevent its coercive 
enforcement  by  the  CNV;  given  that,  under  the  new  Capital  Markets  Law  No.  26,831,  appeals  may  be 
admitted without suspension of judgment. 

4.  On  October  8,  2019,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Papel  Prensa  approved  the  voluntary  delisting  of  the 
Company subject to the approval of the shareholders at the General Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting 
and to the pertinent regulatory approvals (CNV and BYMA). However, on November 20, 2019, in view of the 
imminent change of administration in the National Government, the Board of Directors decided to stay the 
delisting it had approved, thus suspending the Shareholders’ Meeting it had duly called.   

5. AGEA has not recorded any impact in connection with the foregoing since its effects shall depend on the 
final outcome. Such effects are not expected to be material to these financial statements. 

NOTE 9 - REGULATORY FRAMEWORK  

9.1. Audiovisual Communication Services Law 

The subsidiaries of Grupo Clarín that render audiovisual communication services are holders of licenses that 
were originally awarded under the regime established by Law No. 22,285. Under Law No. 22,285 audiovisual 
communication service companies in Argentina were required a non-exclusive license from the COMFER in 
order to operate.  

The Audiovisual Communication Services Law (Law No. 26,522, LSCA, for its Spanish acronym) was passed 
and enacted on October 10, 2009, with strong criticism about its content and enactment procedure.

By  the  end  of  December  2015,  the  National  Executive  Branch  issued  Emergency  Decree  No.  267/15, 
published in the Official Gazette on January 4, 2016, whereby significant amendments were introduced to 
Laws Nos. 26,522 and 27,078 (the Digital Argentina  Law, "LAD", for its Spanish acronym). The Emergency 
Decree was approved on April 6, 2016 by the Lower House of Congress. Therefore, it has full force and effect. 

9.2. Enforcement Authority 

The Comité Federal de Radiodifusión (Federal Broadcasting Committee, “COMFER”, for its Spanish acronym) 
was the enforcement authority established by Law No. 22,285. 

Law No. 26,522 provided for the replacement of the COMFER by the Audiovisual Communication Services 
Law Federal Enforcement Authority (AFSCA, for its Spanish acronym) as a decentralized and autarchic agency 
under the jurisdiction of the Executive Branch, and vested the new agency with authority to enforce the law. 

The Emergency Decree created the ENACOM as a decentralized and autarchic agency under the jurisdiction 
of the Ministry of Communications and vested the new agency with authority to enforce Laws Nos. 26,522 
and 27,078, as amended and regulated. The ENACOM has all the same powers and competences that had 
been vested in AFSCA and the Information and Communications Technology Federal Enforcement Authority 
(“AFTIC”, for its Spanish acronym) by Laws Nos. 26,522 and 27,078, respectively.  

Upon the issuance of Decrees Nos. 7/2019 and 50/2019, published in the Official Gazette on December 11, 
2019 and on December 19, 2019, respectively, the ENACOM was under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat of 
Public Innovation under the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers. 

Pursuant to Decree No. 111/2024 (which amended Decree No. 50/2019), published in the Official Gazette 
on February 2, 2024, the National Government modified the organizational structure of the National Public 
Administration. Consequently, the ENACOM is under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Cabinet of Ministers.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, through Decree No. 89/2024, published in the Official Gazette on January 
29,  2024,  the  National  Government  ordered  the  intervention  of  the  ENACOM  for  a  period  of  180  days. 
Pursuant to said Decree, the powers established for the Enforcement Authority under Laws Nos. 26,522 and 
27,078  are  jointly  assigned  to  the  Intervenor  and  the  Deputy  Intervenors.  The  period  during  which  the 
Regulatory Authority will be subject to intervention may be renewed only once. 

9.3. Multiple License Regime 

The multiple license regime established under Law No. 22,285 allowed licensees to hold at the national level 
up to twenty-four  (24) sound or  television broadcasting  licenses. At the local level, one individual or  legal 
entity could have up to one sound broadcasting license, one television license and one subscription television 
license. In this last case, FM broadcasting services were not included in this limit if they were broadcast from 
the same station and location as the AM broadcasting services. 

The  LSCA  introduced  comprehensive  amendments  on  the  multiple  license  regime,  against  which  the 
Company and some of its Subsidiaries filed an unconstitutionality claim. Eventually, that claim was dismissed. 
The original regime approved by the LSCA regarding broadcast services: i) restricted to 10 the number of 
audiovisual  communication  service  licenses,  plus  a  single  broadcast  signal  for  radio,  broadcast  TV  and 
subscription television services that made use of the radioelectric spectrum; ii) set forth a further restriction 
on these services, which could not be provided to more than 35% of all inhabitants or subscribers nationwide;

and iii) at the local level, the regime established the following limits: a) one (1) sound broadcasting license 
for amplitude modulation (AM); b) one (1) sound broadcasting license for frequency modulation (FM) or up 
to two (2) licenses when there are more than eight (8) licenses in the primary service area; c) one subscription 
television  license,  provided  the  applicant  was  not  the  holder  of  a  broadcast  television  license;  d)  one  (1) 
broadcast television license provided the applicant was not the holder of  a subscription television license. 
Under no circumstances may the aggregate number of the licenses granted in the same primary service area 
or any group of highly overlapping service areas exceed three (3) licenses. 

Among  the  main  amendments  introduced  by  the  Emergency  Decree  with  respect  to  the  LSCA,  the  most 
remarkable is the repeal of Section 161, which set forth the obligation to conform to the provisions of this law 
with  respect  to  ownership  conditions  and  the  number  of  licenses.  Section  45  of  Law  No.  26,522,  which 
establishes the multiple license regime, has been significantly amended. As a result, the Company and its 
subsidiaries already conform to the new regulatory framework.  

As far as the Company is concerned, the Emergency Decree: i) eliminated the incompatibility to render in the 
same location broadcast television services and subscription television services; ii) increased the limit to 15 
of broadcast (television and radio) service licenses that may be accumulated at national level; iii) eliminated 
the restriction to hold cable television signals; and iv) eliminated the restriction on broadcast services, which 
could  not be provided to more  than  35%  of all inhabitants or  subscribers nationwide. At the local level, it 
increased to 4 the number of licenses that could be accumulated. 

Subsequently, through Decree No. 70/2023 published in the Official Gazette  on December 21, 2023, the 
National Government once again amended the multiple license regime, eliminating the limit of audiovisual 
communication services set at the national level (15 broadcast television and radio services).  

9.4. Terms of the Licenses 

Law No. 22,285 provided that broadcasting licenses were granted for an initial period of 15 years, allowing 
for a one-time extension of 10 years. The extension of the license was subject to the approval of the COMFER, 
which would determine whether or not the licensee had met the terms and conditions under which the license 
had been granted. Some of the licenses exploited by the subsidiaries have already been extended for the 
above-mentioned 10-year term. 

On  May  24,  2005,  Decree  No.  527/05  provided  for  a  10-year-suspension  of  the  terms  then  effective  of 
broadcasting  licenses  or  their  extensions.  Calculation  of  the  terms  was  automatically  resumed  upon 
expiration of the suspension term, subject to certain conditions. The Decree required that companies seeking 
to benefit from the extension submit to the COMFER’s approval, within 2 years from the date of the Decree, 
programming proposals that would contribute to the preservation of the national culture and the education 
of  the  population  and  a  technology  investment  project  to  be  implemented  during  the  suspension  term. 
COMFER  Resolution  No.  214/07  regulated  the  obligations  established  by  Decree  No.  527/05  in  order  to 
benefit from such suspension. The proposals then submitted were approved and, accordingly, the terms of 
the licenses originally awarded to the subsidiaries of Grupo Clarín were suspended for ten (10) years. 

Even though Law No. 26,522 respected the original expiration terms of the licenses effective at the time of its 
enactment, it set a 10-year limitation to the terms of licenses, with a one-time non-renewable extension. 

With regard to the term of the licenses for television and radio broadcast services, the Emergency Decree 
establishes two important changes:

• 

It provides for a new system of extensions for audiovisual communication service licenses whereby the 
licensee may request a first extension for five (5) years, which will be automatic. Upon expiration of this 
term,  licensees  may  request  subsequent  extensions  of  ten  (10)  years  complying  in  that  case  with  the 
provisions of the Law and applicable regulations to be eligible for each extension. However, this system 
of subsequent extensions may be interrupted upon the expiration of the last extension if the Ministry of 
Communications decides to call for a public bid for new licensees, for reasons of public interest, for the 
introduction  of  new  technologies  or  in  compliance  with  international  agreements.  In  this  case,  prior 
licensees shall have no acquired rights regarding their licenses. 

•  Section 20 of the Emergency Decree provides that the holders of licenses effective as of January 1, 2016 
may request a ten (10) year extension, without it being necessary to wait until the expiration of the license 
that is currently effective. Such extension shall be considered as a first period that entitles the holder to 
the five (5) year automatic extension.  

Taking into consideration the advantages provided under the new legal framework with regard to the terms 
of the licenses, the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company that hold licenses for rendering broadcast 
television and sound broadcasting services made a filing with the ENACOM requesting the extension of the 
terms of their licenses pursuant to Article 20 of the Emergency Decree. 

The ENACOM issued Resolution No. 135/2017, whereby it deemed that ARTEAR had opted to request an 
extension under Article 20 of Decree No. 267/15 and stated that the term for the first period of TEN (10) years, 
with the right to an automatic extension for a term of FIVE (5) more years, shall be calculated as from January 
2, 2017. 

Through  Resolutions  Nos.  1,890/2018  and  1,874/2018,  the  ENACOM  deemed  that  the  remaining 
subsidiaries of the Company had opted to request an extension under the regime provided by Article 20 of 
Decree No. 267/15, for the exploitation of broadcast television services (LU 81 TV Channel 7 of Bahía Blanca 
and LV 81 TV Channel 12 of Córdoba).  

The ENACOM issued Resolution No. 1,176/19, whereby it granted the extension requested by Radio Mitre 
for all of its licenses for the provision of sound broadcasting service and deemed that Radio Mitre had opted 
to request such extension under the regime provided by Article 20 of said Decree. The extension was granted 
for a term of 10 years, with the right to an automatic extension for a term of 5 more years. 

9.5. Award of a Digital Channel 

Through Resolution No. 1,329/AFSCA/2014, which amended Resolution No. 1,047/AFSCA/2014, the AFSCA 
approved the National Standard for Terrestrial and Broadcast Digital Television Audiovisual Communication 
Services, and to Decree No. 2,456/2014, which approves the National Digital Audiovisual Communication 
Services Plan.  

Through this legal framework, which was subsequently supplemented by Resolutions No. 24/AFSCA/2015, 
35/AFSCA/2015  and  No.  39/AFSCA/2015  (among  others),  the  rights  of  the  current  broadcast  television 
licensees could be infringed. These rights should be preserved intact as established in Law No. 26,522, which 
has higher hierarchy. The main effect of these regulations, among their technical effects, is that the current 
broadcast  television  licensees  that  obtained  their  licenses  pursuant  to  Law  No.  22,285  will  have  to  bear

additional charges and obligations including, among other things, multiplexing and broadcasting under their 
own responsibility other broadcast television stations owned by third parties. 

Since the changes introduced under this regulatory framework have an impact on the responsibilities and 
rights of the companies involved, ARTEAR and TELECOR S.A.C.I. filed a claim  before AFSCA in due time, 
requesting  the  revocation  of  Resolutions  No.  1,329/AFSCA/2014,  24/AFSCA/2015,  35/AFSCA/2015  and 
39/AFSCA/2015 to preserve their rights intact as direct or indirect broadcast television service licensees. They 
also filed a claim before the National Executive Branch requesting the repeal of Decree No. 2,456/2014. As 
of the date of these Financial Statements, the claim filed before AFSCA was dismissed. Therefore, ARTEAR 
challenged before the courts that agency’s decision to dismiss the claim. The claim filed before the National 
Executive Branch is still pending resolution. 

The subsidiaries of the Company that hold broadcast television licenses were awarded a digital channel to 
render terrestrial digital television services under the legal regime described above. The  following are the 
Resolutions that determined the final award of each of the digital channels: 

•  Resolution  No.  10,090/ENACOM/2016  (as  amended  by  Resolution  No.  1631-ENACOM/2017) 

awarded Canal 33.1 to ARTEAR as holder of LS 85 TV CANAL 13 DE BUENOS AIRES 

•  Resolution No. 35/AFSCA/2015 awarded Canal 27.1 to TELECOR S.A.C.I. as holder of LV81 TV CANAL 

12 DE CÓRDOBA. 

•  Resolution No. 236/AFSCA/2015 awarded Canal 28.1. to Teledifusora Bahiense S.A. as holder of LU81 

TV CANAL 7 DE BAHÍA BLANCA 

9.6. Decree No. 690/20 – Amendments to the LAD 

On August 22, 2020, the National Executive Branch issued Decree No. 690/2020, whereby it amended the 
Digital Argentina Act. 

Among  the  amendments  that  were  introduced  by  Decree  No.  690/2020,  ICT  Services  –  fixed  and  mobile 
telephony,  subscription  television  and  Internet  –  and  the  access  to  telecommunications  networks  for  and 
between  licensees  are  now  deemed  “essential  and  strategic  public  Services  subject  to  competition”,  and 
ENACOM shall guarantee their actual availability. 

The  prices  of  essential  and  strategic  public  ICT  Services  subject  to  competition,  the  prices  of  the  services 
provided  under  the  Universal  Service  and  of  those  determined  by  ENACOM  based  on  reasons  of  public 
interest, shall be regulated by said agency. 

The  Decree  also  provides  that  ENACOM  shall  establish,  in  the  respective  regulations,  the  Mandatory 
Universal Basic Provision of ICT Services. 

It also provided for the suspension of price increases or modifications established or announced from July 
31, 2020 to December 31, 2020 by ICT licensees.  

The Decree was ratified by the Argentine Congress under the terms of Law No. 26,122 and was regulated 
through  ENACOM  Resolutions  Nos.  1,466/2020  and  1,467/2020,  published  in  the  Official  Gazette  on 
December 21, 2020.

Said Resolutions provide that ICT Services Licensees that hold registration for Internet Access Value Added 
Service  (SVA-INT,  for  its  Spanish  acronym);  subscription  broadcasting  services  by  physical  and/or  radio-
electric  link  (SRSVFR,  for  its  Spanish  acronym)  and  audiovisual  communication  subscription  services  by 
satellite link (DTH); shall notify the Enforcement Authority about any and all changes in retail prices they intend 
to make to their plans, prices and commercial terms in effect, SIXTY (60) calendar days in advance of their 
implementation. 

Resolution No. 1467/2020 regulates the Mandatory Universal Basic Service set forth by Decree No. 690/2020 
for the different services provided by ICT Services Licensees, establishing the price and characteristics of each 
plan. 

Said Resolution also sets out the persons that are eligible to receive those services.  

It is important to highlight that some ICT service licensees that fall within the scope of the legal regime have 
been granted injunctions suspending its enforcement and, in some cases, courts of first instance have issued 
rulings declaring it unconstitutional. In fact, through Decree No. 89/2024, which orders the intervention of 
the  ENACOM,  the  National  Government  commissioned  the  preparation  of  a  report  to  analyze  the 
consequences brought about by the issuance of Emergency Decree No. 690/20, as well as a proposal for the 
resolution of the issue. 

9.7. General Rules Governing Physical and/or Radio Electric Link Subscription Broadcasting Services 

ENACOM  Resolution  No.  1,491/2020  issued  on  December  24,  2020  approved  the  new  General  Rules 
Governing Physical Radio-Electric and/or Satellite Link Subscription Broadcasting Services. 

Even though the new General Rules maintain the onerosity of all the broadcast television services and signals 
that fall within the scope of the “must carry” regime (signals and services subject to mandatory retransmission) 
by  the  providers  of  subscription  television  services,  they  introduce  the  concept  of  “fair,  equitable  and 
reasonable price” and implement a dispute resolution procedure in case of disagreement between signal 
holders  and  distributors  (by  physical,  radio-electric  or  satellite  link)  to  be  brought  before  the  ENACOM, 
whereby the parties are deemed to have voluntarily accepted to be subject to this procedure. 

In addition, the General Rules provide that in the event that signal holders and physical, radio-electric and/or 
satellite link subscription television licensees do not settle their dispute, distributors shall include the signal 
in the programming grid at the price set by ENACOM’s Board based on the information gathered during the 
proceeding. 

It should be noted that both the price and the settlement procedure are applicable to any signal, including 
those which are not subject to mandatory retransmission. 

In addition, the General Rules also provide that the commercialization of one signal may not be conditional 
on  the  acquisition  of  other  signals  and,  in  the  case  of  sales  of  signal  packages,  the  price  must  include  a 
breakdown of the price of each of the signals included in the package. 

ARTEAR’s legal advisors believe that the ENACOM is not empowered to set the price of a signal, regardless 
of  whether  or  not  it  is  a  signal  subject  to  mandatory  retransmission,  and  that  it  would  be  arbitrary  and 
unconstitutional if the agency imposed a price on the owner of content that does not voluntarily agree to the 
settlement proceeding.

9.8. Administrative Sanction Proceedings 

Through Resolution No. 661/AFSCA/2014, the ENACOM approved the current Regime for the Grading of 
Penalties, the General Rules on the procedures to be followed for the substantiation of summary proceedings 
initiated due to infringements of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, an Installment Plan Regime 
to be applied to the infringements subject to fines committed from November 21, 2002 up to and including 
June 23, 2010, within the framework of the effectiveness of Resolution No. 830/COMFER/02 and Law No. 
22,285 and an Option for the new Regime for the Grading of Penalties (fines) for infringements committed 
while Resolution No. 324/AFSCA/2010 was still in effect. 

ARTEAR exercised the option to settle those fines calculated under the regime set forth by Resolution No. 
661/AFSCA/2014,  which  allowed  for  the  assessment  of  significantly  more  beneficial  amounts.  It  executed 
payment agreements with the Enforcement Authority, which as of this date have already been settled.  

Through Resolution No. 2,882/ENACOM/2019, as amended by Resolution No. 2,984/2019, the ENACOM 
amended  the  Regime  for  the  Grading  of  Penalties  approved  by  Resolution  No.  661/AFSCA/2014.  The 
amendments resulted mainly in a reduction of the tax rates to be applied to the calculation of the penalties 
for infringement of Law No. 26,522, and a reduction of the fines imposed whenever infractions are committed 
in shows produced by producers that are duly registered in the Registro de Señales y Productoras (Registry 
of Signals and Producers), which will be charged with such infractions. 

ARTEAR made a filing with the ENACOM requesting the assessment of fines applicable to the infringements 
committed  from  July  2014  up  to  and  including  December  2018  and  requested  the  adherence  to  the 
installment  payment  plan  established  under  Resolution  No.  2,882/ENACOM/2019,  with  respect  to  those 
summary  proceedings  on  which  information  was  requested  and  sanctions  were  imposed.  The  aggregate 
amount  of  the  fines  assessed  for  that  period  for  which  a  final  decision  has  already  been  rendered  on  the 
summary proceedings related to LS85 TV Canal 13 is of $2,343,755.70. ARTEAR executed an agreement with 
the Enforcement Authority to settle that amount in a single installment. 

NOTE 10 - CALL OPTIONS 

ARTEAR 

As of December 31, 2023, an irrevocable put option on 755,565 common, registered, non-endorsable shares, 
representing 14.815% of the capital stock and votes of Telecor S.A.C.I. (a company in which ARTEAR holds 
an  85.185%  interest),  agreed  upon  in  favor  of  the  sellers  of  the  aforementioned  shares  of  said  company 
(Francisco A. Quiñonero (by succession of Mr. Aron Braver and Carmen V. Quiñonero)), and an irrevocable 
call  option  for  the  same  number  of  shares  and  percentage  of  participation  in  the  capital  stock  and  votes, 
agreed upon in favor of ARTEAR, are in effect. Said put option was established for a term of 16 years starting 
from March 16, 2010, at a price of US$ 3,000,000, while the call option was established for a term of 26 years 
starting  from  March  16,  2000,  at  a  price  of  US$  4,801,680,  and adjusted  at  an  annual  nominal  rate  of  5% 
starting from April 16, 2016. Subsequently, under an addendum to the original agreements, the beginning 
of  the  effectiveness  of  the  irrevocable  put  option  was  modified  on  several  occasions.  The  most  recent 
addendum signed as of December 31, 2023 was the one dated November 27, 2019, which set forth that the 
effectiveness of the irrevocable put option would begin on March 16, 2024.

the effectiveness of the irrevocable put option would begin on March 16, 2028.

NOTE 11 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

11.1. Financial Risks Management (*)  

(*) The amounts included in this note are stated in millions of Argentine pesos. 

Grupo  Clarín  is  a  party  to  transactions  involving  financial  instruments,  which  entail  exposure  to  market, 
currency, and interest rate risks. The management of these risks is based on the particular analysis of each 
situation,  taking  into  account  its  own  estimates  and  those  made  by  third  parties  of  the  evolution  of  the 
respective factors.  

11.1.1 Capital Risk Management 

Grupo Clarín manages its capital structure seeking to ensure its ability to continue as an ongoing concern, 
while  maximizing  the  return  to  its  shareholders  through  the  optimization  of  financial  debt  and  equity 
balances. 

As part of this process, Grupo Clarín monitors its capital structure through the financial debt-to-equity ratio, 
which is equal to the quotient of its net financial debt (Financial Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents) divided 
by its adjusted EBITDA. 

The financial debt-to-equity ratio for the reporting years is as follows: 

Financial Debt (i) 
Less: Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and Banks 
Other Current Investments 

Net Financial Debt (ii) 

Adjusted EBITDA 

Debt-to-Equity Ratio (ii)

Long-term and short-term loans, including derivatives and financial guarantee agreements. 

(i) 
(ii)  As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds the amount of loans. 

The  financial  debt-to-equity  ratio  is  reasonable  compared  to  other  industry  players  and  considering  the 
particular situation of Argentina and of the companies that make up Grupo Clarín.

11.1.3 Objectives of Financial Risk Management 

Grupo Clarín monitors and manages the financial risks related to its operations; these risks include market 
risk (including exchange risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. 

Grupo Clarín does not enter into financial instruments for speculative purposes as common practice.  

11.1.4 Exchange Risk Management 

Grupo  Clarín  enters  into  certain  foreign  currency  transactions;  therefore,  it  is  exposed  to  exchange  rate 
fluctuations.

Bid/offered  exchange  rates  (Banco  de  la  Nación  Argentina)  as  of  December  31,  2023  and  2022  were  of 
$ 805.45 and $ 808.45 and $ 176.96 and $ 177.16; respectively. 

11.1.4.1 Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis  

Grupo Clarín is exposed to exchange risk, mainly with respect to the US dollar. 

Taking into consideration  the balances disclosed  above, Grupo Clarín  estimates that  the impact of a 20% 
favorable/unfavorable fluctuation of the US dollar exchange rate would generate an income/loss before taxes 
of approximately $ 498 million and $ 386 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  

The  sensitivity  analysis  presented  above  is  hypothetical  since  the  quantified  impact  is  not  necessarily  an 
indicator of the actual impact, because exposure levels may vary over time. 

Additionally, even though Grupo Clarín conducts its operations in Argentine pesos, an eventual devaluation 
of  that  currency  may  have  an  indirect  impact  on  its  operations,  depending  on  the  ability  of  the  relevant 
suppliers to reflect that effect on their prices. 

11.1.5. Interest Rate Risk Management  

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Grupo Clarín was exposed to interest rate risk mainly through AGEA 
(and its subsidiaries LVI and DLA), IESA, and Radio Mitre. This is due to the fact that those companies have 
taken loans at fixed and variable interest rates and have not entered into hedge agreements to mitigate these 
risks. If interest rates had eventually been 100 basis points higher and all the variables had remained constant, 
the additional estimated loss before taxes would have been of approximately $ 70 million and $ 74 million as 
of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

11.1.6. Equity Price Risk Management 

Grupo Clarín is exposed to equity price risk in connection with its holdings of mutual funds, securities and 
bonds and foreign exchange agreements. 

Its sensitivity to the variation in the price of these instruments is detailed below:  

December 31, 
2023 

December 31, 
2022 

Investments valued at quoted prices at closing (Level 1) 

10,248 

8,463 

The  estimated  impact  of  an  eventual  10%  favorable/unfavorable  fluctuation  of  the  quoted  price  of 
investments  valued  at  closing,  assuming  that  all  the  other  variables  remain  constant,  would  generate  an 
income/loss before taxes of approximately $ 1,025 million and $ 846 million as of December 31, 2023 and 
2022, respectively.  

A potential 10% favorable/unfavorable fluctuation of the quoted price of investments valued as Level 2 would 
generate an income/loss  before taxes of approximately $ 8 million and $  228 million as of December 31, 
2023 and 2022, respectively. 

11.1.7 Credit Risk Management 

Credit risk is defined as the risk that one of the parties may breach its contractual obligations, generating an 
eventual financial loss for Grupo Clarín.  

Credits of the Print and Digital Publications Segment 

The  companies  that  operate  in  this  segment  conduct  an  analysis  of  the  clients’  financial  position  at  the 
beginning  of  the  business  relationship,  through  a  credit  risk  report  requested  from  several  credit  rating 
agencies. The credit amount granted to each client is monitored on a daily basis, with reports being submitted 
to the financial management. 

The credit risk affects cash and cash equivalents, deposits held at banks and financial institutions, as well as 
credit granted to clients. 

The maximum theoretical credit risk exposure of the companies operating in this segment is represented by 
the book value of net financial assets, disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

For the purposes of conducting an analysis of the suitability of the allowance for bad debts, these companies 
consider  each  client  on  a  case  by  case  basis,  verifying,  among  other  factors,  if  there  is  any  record  of 
delinquency,  risk  of  bankruptcy,  insolvency  proceeding  or  other  judicial  proceeding.  In  addition,  and  in 
accordance with IFRS 9, for the calculation of the allowance for bad debts on trade receivables the Company 
considers  the  expected  credit  losses  over  their  total  useful  life.  Trade  receivables  comprise  a  significant 
number  of  clients  and  are  internally  classified  among  the  following  categories:  Advertising,  Official, 
Distribution, Internet, and Subscriptions, among others.

Registration number with the IGJ: 1,669,733 

The companies that operate in this segment have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts accounting 
for 7% and 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

The companies that operate in this segment did not set up an allowance for bad debts for those amounts in 
which no significant change was recorded in the credit rating, considering such amounts as recoverable.  

The companies that operate in this segment have a wide range of clients, including individuals, businesses - 
medium-and-large-sized companies - and governmental agencies. Therefore, these companies’ receivables 
are not subject to credit risk concentration. 

Credits from the Broadcasting and Programming Segment 

Credit risk represents for the companies that operate in this segment the risk of incurring in losses arising 
from possible breaches of the contractual obligations assumed by business or financial counterparties. This 
risk may be due to economic or financial factors, or to particular circumstances of the counterparty, or to other 
economic, commercial or administrative factors. 

Credit risk affects cash and cash equivalents, deposits held at banks and financial institutions in a wide sense, 
and every form of credit granted to the companies that operate in this segment. The maximum exposure to 
credit risk is represented by the value of financial assets considered as a whole, recorded in the Consolidated 
Statement  of  Financial  Position  under  Cash  and  Banks,  Other  Investments,  Trade  Receivables  and  Other 
Receivables. 

Financial instruments are executed with creditworthy banks and financial institutions renowned in the market 
and for terms not longer than three months. In this sense, the companies that operate in this segment have a 
policy  of  diversifying  their  investments  among  different  banks  and  financial  institutions,  thus  reducing  the 
concentration risk in only one counterparty. 

As to the credit risk related to financial credit, the companies that operate in this segment evaluate the credit 
standing of the different counterparties to define their investment levels, based on their  equity and credit 
rating. As to Trade Receivables, such companies have a wide range of clients, categorized depending on the 
type  of  business.  These  categories  are:  Advertising,  Signals,  Programming  and  other.  Within  this 
classification, clients can also be classified as advertising agencies, direct advertisers, distributors of cable TV, 
broadcast TV stations and other, each of them of a different magnitude. Due to this diversity of clients, there 
is not a significant credit risk concentration in this respect. 

The allowance for bad debts is set up upon conducting an analysis of the debtor portfolio, which is recorded 
as follows: 

− 

In  the  case  of  individual  risks  identified  (risks  of  bankruptcy,  insolvency  proceedings  or  judicial 
proceedings pending with the company), for its total value.  

−  The rest of the cases is decided based on the aging of the past due debt, the progress of the collection 
procedures, the solvency conditions and the variations observed in the clients’ settlement periods. 
In addition, and in accordance with IFRS 9, for the calculation of the allowance for bad debts on trade 
receivables the Company considers the expected credit losses over their total useful life.

11.1.8. Liquidity Risk Management 

Liquidity risk is the risk that Grupo Clarín may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations at maturity. Grupo 
Clarín manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and, if possible, the access to 
different capital markets. It also manages liquidity risk through a constant review of the estimated cash flows 
to ensure that it will have enough liquidity to fulfill its obligations.

Financial assets and liabilities are valued using quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and 
the prices of similar instruments arising from sources of information available in the market (Level 2). At the 
closing of the reporting years, Grupo Clarín did not have any financial asset or liability for which a comparison 
had not been conducted against observable market data to determine their fair value (Level 3). 

11.1.10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The book value of cash, accounts receivable and current liabilities is similar to their fair value, due to the short-
term maturities of these instruments. 

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. 

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.

5-  GRUPO CLARÍN 

In October 2023, the Company accepted an offer from the minority shareholders of Diario Los Andes 
Hermanos  Calle  S.A.,  whereby  the  Company  acquired  (i)  881,998  non-endorsable,  registered, 
common shares of DLA with a nominal value of $1 each, (ii) 40% of a single share, held in common 
with CIMECO, which holds the remaining 60%, and (iii) 60% of a single share, held in common with 
CIMECO, which holds the remaining 40%, collectively representing approximately 20% of the capital 
stock and votes of DLA.  

As consideration, the Company paid US$ 98,400 and assigned certain rights over real estate, which 
brought the total value of the transaction to approximately US$ 0.6 million.  

The Company, through CIMECO, already owned 80% of the capital stock and voting rights of DLA; 
consequently, with the purchase of the above-mentioned shares, it now holds 100% of the capital 
stock and voting rights of DLA, both directly and indirectly. 

On January 23, 2024, Grupo Clarín transferred property for US$ 100,000. Through said transfer, it 
partially settled the debt that the company had with the minority shareholders of Diario Los Andes 
Hermanos Calle S.A. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the amount of the debt 
for this transaction amounts to approximately US$ 0.4 million. 

6-  POL-KA 

At the end of 2023, Pol-ka resumed its operational reorganization plan aimed at the optimization and 
streamlining  of  its  workforce  to  adapt  the  company's  structure  to  the  new  industry  scenarios 
according  to  the  changes  that  have  been  occurring  for  years  in  the  trend  of  audiovisual  content 
consumption. 

The  low  audience  of  daily  fiction  series  broadcast  on  open  television  is  a  trend  that  has  been 
consolidating in the local market, and their low profitability makes it difficult to invest in these types 
of products. This market reality requires a transformation of the business model of fiction producers, 
focusing  their  activity  on  the  production  of  on-demand  content  for  the  national  and  international 
market, with a minimal fixed structure and hiring temporary personnel to carry out the shooting of 
series  and  miniseries.  This  business  model  relies  almost  entirely  on  the  optimization  of  human 
resources.  Additionally,  Pol-ka's  business  plan  includes  making  its  installed  capacity  profitable 
through the leasing of its studios and production and editing equipment.  

In  line  with  the  described  situation,  the  plan  to  adjust  the  structure  includes  the  signing  of 
approximately  110  termination  agreements  with  employees  under  the  terms  of  Article  241  of  the 
Employment  Contract  Law,  for  an  aggregate  amount  of  approximately  $2,400  million.  This 
restructuring cost was recorded in the current fiscal year. 

As  of  December  31,  2023,  Pol-ka  signed  termination  agreements  for  approximately  $630  million. 
Since that date, and as of the date of these financial statements, Pol-ka signed additional termination 
agreements  for  approximately  $1,080  million.  Pursuant  to  the  executed  agreements,  Pol-ka  paid 
$360 million in 2023 and $1,360 million after the end of the fiscal year and up to the date of these 
financial statements.

currency as of December 31, 2023) to increase the Voluntary Reserve. In addition, the shareholders decided 
to delegate to the Board of Directors the power to partially reverse the Voluntary Reserve up to $ 800,000,000 
to pay dividends. Said power may be exercised by the Board of Directors at its discretion in one or more times 
until the next Annual Shareholders Meeting of ARTEAR was held. 

On April 13, April 29, June 1, and August 12, 2022, the Board of Directors of ARTEAR approved the partial 
reversal of the Voluntary Reserve for an aggregate amount of $ 400 million in order to distribute dividends, 
of which $ 387.5 million corresponded to the Company ($ 1,762 million in constant currency as of December

In  April  2022,  the  shareholders  of  TRISA  decided,  among  other  things,  to  approve  the  distribution  of

NOTE 18 - LONG-TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES 

During the last quarter of 2007, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, began to implement a long-term 
savings  plan  for  certain  executives  (directors  and  managers  comprising  the  “executive  payroll”),  which 
became effective in January 2008. Executives who adhere to such plan undertake to contribute regularly a 
portion of their salary (variable within a certain range, at the employee’s option) to a fund that will allow them 
to strengthen their savings capacity. Each company of the Group where those executives render services will 
match the sum contributed by such executives. This matching contribution will be added to the fund raised 
by the employees. Under certain conditions, the employees may access such funds upon termination of their 
participation in the long-term savings plan. 

In addition, such plan provides for certain special conditions for those managers who were in the “executive 
payroll”  before  January  1,  2007.  Such  conditions  consist  of  supplementary  contributions  made  by  each

company to the plan related to the executive’s years of service with the Group. As of December 31, 2023, 
such supplementary contributions made by the Company on a consolidated basis amount to approximately 
$ 154.5 million, and the charge to income is deferred until the retirement of each executive. 

During 2013, certain changes were made to the savings system, although its operation mechanism and the 
main characteristics with regard to the obligations undertaken by the company were essentially maintained. 

Pursuant to IAS No. 19, the above-mentioned savings plan qualifies as a Defined Contribution Plan, which 
means that the companies’ contributions shall be charged to income on a monthly basis as from the date the 
plan becomes effective. 

NOTE 19 – OPERATING LEASES 

19.1  The Company as Lessee 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company is a party to non-cancellable operating leases, which are 
currently effective and have different terms and renewal rights. The total amount of minimum future payments 
for non-cancellable operating leases is the following (in millions of $):

The Company operated in a complex economic context, with a strong volatility in the main variables, both at 
the national and international level.  

The main variables in Argentina were: (i) a decline in activity of 1.4% in 2023, according to preliminary GDP 
data, (ii) an annual cumulative inflation of 211%, (iii) a strong devaluation of the peso against the US dollar, 
from $ 180 per US$ at the start of the fiscal year to $ 805 per US$ at the end of the fiscal year, with December 
experiencing  the  highest  devaluation,  and  (iv)  the  monetary  authority  imposed  exchange  restrictions  to

contain  the  demand  for  dollars.  This  involved,  among  other  things,  the  requirement  to  request  prior 
authorization from the Argentine Central Bank to make payments abroad. 

On  December  10,  2023,  a  new  government  took  office  in  Argentina,  which  has  set  among  its  goals  to 
establish a new economic regime in the country. To this end, it proposes to carry out a broad reform of laws 
and regulations to advance with a deep deregulation of the economy and with structural reforms that lift the 
restrictions  for  investing  and  operating  in  the  country,  including  the  gradual  easing  of  the  previously 
mentioned exchange restrictions, with the objective of eliminating them once the macroeconomic conditions 
to do so are met.  

Among  its  first  measures,  the  new  government  issued  an  Emergency  Decree  that  repeals  and/or  amends 
about  300  laws,  introducing  reforms  in  the  labor  market,  the  customs  code,  and  the  status  of  public 
companies, among others. Although the Emergency Decree is subject to consideration and ratification by at 
least  one  of  the  chambers  of  the  National  Congress,  its  provisions  have  been  partially  in  effect  since 
December  29,  2023,  in  light  of  a  series  of  legal  actions  that  have  granted  the  suspension  of  certain 
amendments.  

The context of volatility and uncertainty persists as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. The 
Company's  Management  continuously  monitors  the  evolution  of  the  variables  that  affect  its  business,  to 
define its course of action and identify potential impacts on its equity and financial position. 

The Company’s financial statements should be read in light of these circumstances.   

NOTE 21 - LAW No. 26,831 CAPITAL MARKETS 

Capital Markets Law – Law No. 26,831, as amended 

On  December  28,  2012,  Capital  Markets  Law  No.  26,831  was  published  in  the  Official  Gazette.  This  law 
eliminated the self-regulation of the capital market, granted new powers to the CNV, and repealed Law No. 
17,811 and Decree No. 677/01, among other regulations. Law No. 26,831 became effective on January 28, 
2013. As from its effective date, the Public Tender Offer regime applies to all listed companies. 

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  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 Law No. 26,831, 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, 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.  

On  August  26,  2022,  General  Resolution  No.  939/2022  issued  by  the  CNV  was  published  in  the  Official 
Gazette,  whereby  said  agency  established  the  regulatory  framework  for  holding  remote  and/or  hybrid 
Shareholders’ Meetings. Said Resolution became effective on January 01, 2023.  

Below  are  the  most relevant amendments and/or  additions introduced by the  aforementioned Resolution 
No. 939: i) Companies must include in their bylaws the possibility of holding remote Shareholders’ Meetings 
at their registered office or at the location corresponding to the jurisdiction of their registered office. ii) They 
must submit to the regulatory agency, with at least 5 business days' notice, the procedures to be used for 
holding remote Shareholders’ Meetings stating the way in which shareholders will exercise their voting and 
participation rights. iii) Within 2 business days of the last legal publication, evidence of the legal publications 
of  calls  for  Shareholders’  Meetings  must  be  uploaded  under  "Calls  for  Shareholders’  Meetings"  in  the 
Financial Information Highway. iii) The call shall include information about how the meeting will be held, and 
state, in a clear and simple way, the communication system to be used. iv) In the event of the appointment 
and/or resignation of directors, the updated list must be published under "List of Officers" in the Financial 
Information Highway. v) Within 10 business days of the Shareholders’ Meeting, companies must provide a 
detail of the individual remuneration of directors, administrators, managers, statutory auditors, and members 
of the supervisory committee. vi) Companies must keep a copy in digital format of the meeting minutes at 
their  registered  office  for  a  period  of  five  years,  which  must  be  made  available  to  the  CNV  and  to  any 
shareholder that may request it. The minutes of the Shareholders’ Meetings must be transcribed to the legal 
book and signed, within 5 business days, by the President, the shareholders appointed to such effect, and a 
representative of the oversight body. viii) The participants that attend the Shareholders’ Meeting remotely 
are  exempt  from  signing  the  Book  of  Deposit  of  Shares  and  Register  of  Attendance  to  Shareholders’ 
Meetings. The President and a representative of the oversight body shall certify the remote participation of

SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION 
As of December 31, 2023 

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: Print and Digital 
Publications, Broadcasting and Programming and Other.  

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

In the Print and Digital Publications segment, Clarín continued 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 76 years. By 
the end of December, Diario Clarín had 712,000 digital subscribers, of which 85% paid for the Paywall 
service, compared to 78% of the 549,000 subscribers recorded in 2022. In addition, in December 2020, 
the Company launched the Paywall subscription to Olé, which at the end of December 2023 had 32,200 
subscribers,  being  the  only  sports  newspaper  at  the  global  level  to  have  paid  subscribers.  AGEA 
continues to publish its traditional newspapers and magazines, which face the impact of the change in 
reading habits. 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, El Trece is once again among the broadcast stations 
with the highest audience share. During Prime Time, the highlights were “Telenoche”, hosted by Nelson 
Castro and Dominique Metzger, “Los 8 escalones del millón”, hosted by Guido Kaczka, and “Buenos 
Chicos”,  the  fiction  series  produced  by  Polka.  The  morning  slot  began  with  “Arriba  argentinos”, 
“Mañanísima”, hosted by Carmen Barbieri, “Socios del espectáculo”, “El Zorro” and “Noticiero Trece”. 
The afternoon slot featured the new show “Pasaplatos”, hosted by Karina Zampini, “Poco correctos”, 
hosted  by  “Pollo”  Alvarez  and  “Chino”  Leunis,  and  “Ahora  caigo”  hosted  by  Dario  Barassi.  In  audio 
broadcasting,  Radio  Mitre  continued  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 the morning slot the highlights were "Alguien tiene que decirlo" 
hosted  by  Eduardo  Feinman,  and  “Lanata  sin  Filtro”,  hosted  by  Jorge  Lanata.  Radio  Mitre's 
programming both during weekdays and weekends allowed it to maintain its leadership with over 35 
points  of  audience  share.  In  addition,  “La  100”  continued  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 more 
than 20 points. 

Grupo Clarín continues to be subject to the public offering regime in the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.

7. OUTLOOK 

The world scene changed dramatically during the first months of the year, marked by the war in Eastern 
Europe. In addition to the humanitarian and international political implications, Russia’s continued war 
on Ukraine generates economic and financial turmoil worldwide due to the shortage of raw materials 
that are essential for agricultural and industrial production, which may lead to delays in the supply of 
inputs.  Against  the  backdrop  of  a  challenging  global  environment,  Argentina  is  undergoing  an 
economic crisis marked by significant inflationary pressures. Compounding this, uncertainty looms due 
to the incoming government's ambitious agenda of reforms across several fronts: fiscal, realignment of 
relative prices, balancing the Central Bank, among others; therefore, expectations reflect a challenging 
period for the local economy and the sustainability of businesses in general. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grupo Clarín seeks to maintain its positioning in the different business 
segments in which it operates, 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:  digital  transformation,  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.

To the Shareholders, President and Directors of 
Grupo Clarín S.A. 
Legal domicile: Piedras 1743 
City of Buenos Aires 
Tax Code No.: 30-70700173-5 

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Opinion 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. and its subsidiaries 
(the “Group”), including the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2023 and the 
consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and cash flows for the year 
then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of the most significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of the Group at December 31, 2023 and its consolidated comprehensive income 
and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 
(“IFRS”). 

Basis for Opinion 

We have conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Those standards 
have been adopted as auditing standards in Argentina by Technical Pronouncement No. 32 of the Argentine 
Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) and approved by the International Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Independence 

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board 
for Accountants (IESBA Code), together with requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 
financial statements in Argentina, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these 
requirements and the IESBA Code.  

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 
the consolidated financial statements for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters 

Audit response 

Recognition of advertising revenue  

The Group has different sources of sales revenue as 
detailed in Note 6.1. Advertising sales revenue is 
recognized by applying the accounting policies 
described in Note 2.9. 

We considered the accuracy of advertising sales 
revenue recognized as a key audit matter. The reason 
for the foregoing is the different systems required for 
the provision and pricing of these services, given their 
nature, and the inclusion of manual activities into the 
business process of this source of revenue, which 
represents an inherent risk. 

The audit procedures performed included the 
following, among others: 
•  Understanding the procedure performed by 

Management to determine and recognize 
revenue from advertising in each of the 
subsidiaries.  

•  Evaluating the relevant information system and 
the design and operational effectiveness of the 
control over the capture and recording of revenue 
transactions. To this end, our Information 
Technology specialists have assisted us in the 
audit of automated controls, including controls 
over the interface between the various system 
applications. We also performed tests on access 
controls and change management controls for 
the Group's billing systems. 

•  Evaluating current manual controls in place over 

the authorization of changes to rates, the 
introduction of discounts, the effective provision 
of the service, and the entry of that information 
into the billing systems.  

•  Performing tests, based on a sample of customer 
invoices, on the accuracy of rates and discounts. 

•  Performing tests on key reconciliations used by 
Management to assess the completeness and 
accuracy of revenue. 

•  Performing tests on the documentation 

supporting manual journal entries to revenue 
accounts to identify unusual items. 

•  Requesting confirmations based on a sample of 

account receivables transactions. 

Information that accompanies the Consolidated Financial Statements (“Other Information”) 

The Other Information comprises the annual report and the supplementary financial information. The Board of 
Directors is responsible for the Other Information.   

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements will not cover the Other Information and, therefore, we do 
not express any audit conclusion. 

In relation to our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and when doing so, considering whether the other information contained is materially inconsistent with the 
consolidated financial statements or with our knowledge obtained in the audit or if for any other reason it appears 
to contain a material misstatement. If, based on the work performed, we consider that, as regards our field of

Board of Directors’ and Audit Committee’s Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The Board of Directors of Grupo Clarín S.A. is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 
consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for the internal control the Board of Directors may 
deem necessary to prepare the consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s 
ability to continue operating as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group, or 
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation of Group’s financial reporting. 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The objective of our audit is to obtain reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements as a whole 
are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with ISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from 
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected 
to influence the economic decisions taken by users on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.  

As part of the audit in accordance with ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional 
skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and asses the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, 
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or override of internal control.  

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by the Company’s Board. 

•  Conclude on the appropriate application by the Company Board of Directors of the going concern basis of 

accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists as to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue operating as a going concern. If 
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the 
related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify 
our opinion.  Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of issue of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue operating as a going 
concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall consolidated financial statement presentation, structure and content, including 

disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  Obtain sufficient and adequate audit evidence in relation to the financial information of the entities or business 

activities within the Group to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We are the only responsible 
for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with those charged with governance (the Company’s Audit Committee) regarding, among other 
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant 
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement on our fulfillment of relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and communicate any relationship and other matters that might be thought to affect our 
independence and, when applicable, the actions taken to reduce threats or the related safeguards. 

Among the matters that have been subject to communications with those responsible for the Company’s 
government (Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors), we determine those of most significance in the 
audit of the consolidated financial statements, which are, consequently, the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in this audit report, except for those legal or regulatory provisions that prohibit the public disclosure of the 
matter or if, in extremely infrequent circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be disclosed in our 
report, because it is reasonable to expect that the adverse consequences of doing so would outweigh the public 
interest benefits thereof. 

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

In compliance with current regulations, we report that: 

a)  The consolidated Financial Statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. are transcribed into the Inventory and 

Balance Sheet book and as regards those matters that are within our competence, they are in compliance

GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. 
NOTES TO THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023,  
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  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  IFRS  Accounting  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 Separate Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 IFRS. 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 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.

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 year. 

The attached information,  approved by the  Board of Directors at the  meeting  held on March 08, 2024, 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, 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 issuers under its 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 December 31, 2023. 

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  of  the  opening  balances  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 three fiscal years, according to official 
statistics (INDEC) in accordance with the guidelines described under Resolution No. 539/18:

The main procedures applied for the above-mentioned inflation adjustment were the following: 

- 

- 

The  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  recorded  at  the  currency  unit  of  the  financial  statement  are  not 
restated because they are already stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the 
financial statements. 
The non-monetary assets and liabilities recorded at cost at the date of the financial statement, and the 
equity items, are restated by applying the corresponding adjustment coefficients.   

-  All the elements of the Statement of comprehensive income are adjusted by applying the corresponding 

- 

- 

adjustment coefficients. 
The  effect  of  inflation  on  the  Company's  net  monetary  position  is  included  in  the  Statement  of 
comprehensive income under the item “Gain (Loss) on Net Monetary Position”. 
The comparative figures have been restated for inflation following the same procedure explained above 
and after that, they were restated as of the date of these Financial Statements. 

The following is a description of the initial application of the inflation adjustment in the most relevant equity 
accounts: 

- 

- 

The  capital  stock  was  restated  since  the  date  of  subscription  or  since  the  date  of  the  last  inflation 
adjustment  for  accounting  purposes,  whichever  occurred  later.  The  difference  between  the  nominal 
value of the capital stock and its value restated for inflation is disclosed under “Inflation Adjustment on 
Capital Stock.” 
The  paid-in  capital  was  restated  since  the  date  of  subscription  or  since  the  date  of  the  last  inflation 
adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever occurs later. 

-  Other comprehensive income was restated since each date of the accounting entry. 
- 

The other reserves were restated since January 1, 2017, which was the first day of the comparative year 
at the time of the initial application of the adjustment for inflation. 

2.2 Standards and Interpretations issued but not adopted to date 

As of the date of these Separate Financial Statements, no new standards have been issued that apply to the 
Company for the fiscal year that began on January 1, 2024 and/or in subsequent years. 

2.3. Standards and Interpretations issued and adopted to date  

As of the date of these Separate Financial Statements, no new standards have been issued that apply to the 
Company for this year.

2.4 Equity Interests  

The Company records the interest in its subsidiaries and associates using the equity method, as established 
by TR 26. 

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company exercises control. Control is presumed to exist when the 
Company has a right to variable returns from  its  interest in a  subsidiary and  has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the subsidiary. This power is presumed to exist when evidenced by the votes, 
be it that the Company has the majority of voting rights or potential rights currently exercised. 

An  associate  is  an  entity  over  which  the  Company  has  significant  influence,  without  exercising  control, 
generally accompanied by equity holdings of between 20% and 50% of voting rights. 

The  subsidiaries’  and  associates’  net  income  and  the  assets  and  liabilities  are  disclosed  in  the  Separate 
Financial Statement using  the equity  method, except when the investment is classified as held for  sale,  in 
which case it is accounted for under IFRS 5 “Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”. 
Under the equity method, the investment in a subsidiary or associate is to be initially recorded at cost and the 
book value will be increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share in the comprehensive income for 
the year or in other comprehensive income obtained by the subsidiary or associate, after the acquisition date. 
The distributions received from the subsidiary or associate will reduce the book value of the investment.  

The losses incurred by an associate in excess of the Company’s interest in such company are recognized to 
the extent the Company has undertaken any legal or implicit obligation or has made payments on behalf of 
the associate. 

Any  excess  of  the  acquisition  cost  over  the  Company’s  share  in  the  net  fair  value  of  the  subsidiary’s  or 
associate’s  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  measured  at  the  acquisition  date  is 
recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the book value of the investment and tested for impairment 
as part of the investment. Any excess of the Company’s share in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities over the acquisition cost, after its measurement at fair value, is immediately 
recognized in the statement of income. 

Unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the associates are 
eliminated considering the Company’s interest in those companies.  

Adjustments were made,  where necessary,  to the subsidiaries’ and associates’  financial statements so that 
their accounting policies are in line with those used by the Company. 

2.4.1 Changes in the Company’s Interests in Existing Subsidiaries 

The purchases of additional interests in subsidiaries are recorded under the cost accumulation model. The 
cost of acquiring an additional interest is added to the book value of the investment.  

The sales of interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are recorded deregistering the book 
value in the proportion of the percentage reduced. The difference with the consideration received is charged 
to net income.  

In case of loss of control and significant influence, any residual interest in the issuing company is measured at 
its fair value at such date, allocating the change in the recorded value with an impact on net income. The fair 
value is the initial amount recognized for such investments for the purpose of the subsequent valuation for

the interest retained as associate, joint operation, or financial instrument. Additionally, any amount previously 
recognized  under  Other  Comprehensive  Income  regarding  such  investments  is  recognized  as  if  the 
Company  had  disposed  of  the  related  assets  and  liabilities.  Consequently,  the  amounts  previously 
recognized under Other Comprehensive Income may be reclassified to the statement of income. 

2.5 Business Combinations 

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.  The consideration 
for each acquisition is measured at fair value (on the date of exchange) of the assets acquired, the liabilities 
incurred or assumed and the equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for the control of the 
acquired company. The costs related to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. 

The  consideration  for  the  acquisition,  if  any,  includes  any  asset  or  liability  arising  from  a  contingent 
consideration arrangement, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to such fair 
value, identified during the measurement period, are adjusted against the acquisition cost.  

The measurement period is the effective period that begins on the acquisition date and ends on the date on 
which the Company obtains all the information about the facts and circumstances existing on the acquisition 
date, which may not extend beyond one year after the acquisition date. All other changes in the fair value of 
the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  assets  or  liabilities,  outside  the  measurement  period,  are 
recognized in the statement of income. The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified 
as equity are not recognized.   

In the cases of business combinations conducted in stages, the Company’s equity interest in the acquiree is 
remeasured at fair value on its acquisition date (i.e., the date on which the Company obtained control) and 
the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the statement of income or in other comprehensive income, 
as appropriate according to the source of the variation. In the periods preceding the reporting periods, the 
Company may have recognized under other comprehensive income the changes in the value of the interest 
in the capital stock of the acquired company. In that case, the amount recognized under other comprehensive 
income is recognized on the same basis that would have been required if the Company had directly disposed 
of the previously-held equity interest. 

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company that meet the conditions 
for  recognition under IFRS 3 (2008) are recognized  at fair value at the acquisition date, except for  certain 
particular cases provided by such standard. 

Any  excess  of  the  acquisition  cost  (including  the  interest  previously  held,  if  any,  and  the  non-controlling 
interest) over the Company's share in the net fair value of the subsidiary’s or associate’s identifiable assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities measured at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. Any excess of 
the Company’s share in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the 
acquisition cost, after its measurement at fair value, is immediately recognized in the statement of income. 

The  acquisition  cost  comprises  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  the 
acquirer's previously-held equity interest in the acquiree, if any. 

2.6  Goodwill 

Goodwill arises from the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates and refers to the excess of the sum of the 
consideration transferred, the fair value of the acquirer’s previously-held equity interest (if any) in the acquiree

Registration number with the IGJ: 1,669,733 

over the interest acquired in the net amount of the fair value at the date of acquisition of the identifiable assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed.  

If, after the fair value measurement, the Company's share in the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the 
acquiree exceeds the amount of the transferred consideration, the amount of any non-controlling interest in 
such company and the fair value of the interest previously held by the acquirer in the acquiree (if any), that 
excess is immediately recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as income from purchase in 
very profitable terms. 

Goodwill is not amortized, but tested  for  impairment on an annual basis. For  the purposes of impairment 
testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company's cash-generating units expected to render benefits 
from the synergies of the respective business combination. Those cash-generating units to which goodwill is 
allocated are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently, when there is any indication of 
impairment. If the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit, i.e. the higher of the value in use or the fair 
value net of selling expenses, is lower than the value of the net assets allocated to that unit, including goodwill, 
the impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets 
of  the  unit,  on  a  pro  rata  basis,  based  on  the  valuation  of  each  asset  in  the  unit.  The  impairment  loss 
recognized against the valuation of goodwill is not reversed under any circumstance. 

In case of a loss of control in a subsidiary, the amount attributable to goodwill is included in the calculation of 
the gain or loss for retirement. 

2.7 Revenue Recognition 

Management  fees  are  recognized  when  such  services  are  rendered  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration 
received or to be received. 

2.8 Foreign Currency and Functional Currency 

The financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries or associates are prepared in the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purposes of 
the Company’s Separate Financial Statements, the net income and the financial position of each entity are 
stated in Argentine Pesos (Argentina’s legal tender for all companies domiciled in Argentina), which is the 
Company’s functional currency.  

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, the transactions in currencies other than the 
entity’s functional currency (foreign currency) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates on 
which transactions are carried out. At the end of each reporting year, the monetary items denominated in 
foreign currency are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing on such date.  

The exchange differences were charged to income (loss) for the year in which they were generated. 

In preparing the Company’s Separate Financial Statements, in order to measure, under the equity method, 
the Company’s interest in the entities which functional currencies is different from the Argentine Peso, the 
assets and liabilities of such companies are translated to Argentine pesos at the exchange rate prevailing at 
the end of the year, while the net income is translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. 
Translation  differences  are  recognized  under  other  comprehensive  income  as  “Variation  in  Translation 
Differences of Foreign Operations”.

2.9 Taxes 

2.9.1 Current and Deferred Income Tax for the year 

The income tax charge reflects the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax. 

Current and deferred taxes are recognized as expense or income (loss) for the year, except when they are 
related to entries debited or credited to other comprehensive income or equity, in which cases taxes are also 
recognized under other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. In the case of a business 
combination, the tax effect is taken into consideration in the calculation of goodwill or in the determination 
of  the  excess  of  acquirer's  interest  in  the  net  fair  value  of  the  acquiree’s  identifiable  assets,  liabilities,  and 
contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination. 

2.9.1.1 Current Income Tax 

Current  tax  payable  is  based  on  the  taxable  income  recorded  during  the  year.  Taxable  income  and  net 
income  reported  in  the  Separate  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  differ  due  to  revenue  or  expense 
items that are taxable or deductible in other fiscal years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The 
current  tax  liability  is  calculated  using  the  tax  rate  in  effect  as  of  the  date  of  these  Separate  Financial 
Statements.  

Law No. 27,630, published in the Official Gazette on June 16, 2021, provided for a tiered tax rate structure 
based on the taxable income of each taxpayer: The amounts established for each bracket will be adjusted 
once a year as from 2022 based on the National IPC corresponding to October of the year prior to the year 
in which the adjustment is made compared to the same month of the previous year. The current brackets for 
fiscal year 2022 are the following: 25% for annual taxable income of up to $7.6 million; 30% for annual taxable 
income exceeding $7.6 million up to $76 million; and 35% for annual taxable income exceeding $ 76 million. 
The current brackets for  fiscal year 2023 are the following: 25%  for  annual taxable income of up to $14.3 
million;  30%  for  annual  taxable  income  exceeding  $14.3  million  up  to  $143  million;  and  35%  for  annual 
taxable income exceeding $ 143 million. 

Income Tax Inflation Adjustment 

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  Income  Tax  Law  that  are  in  effect,  the  Company  applies  the  inflation 
adjustment  set  forth  under  Title  VI  of  the  income  tax  law  as  from  2019  because,  starting  that  year,  the 
percentage changes in the IPC index reached the levels set forth in the law. 

In addition, said laws provide that in order to calculate inflation adjustments corresponding to the first and 
second fiscal year beginning as from January 1, 2019, one-sixth of the inflation adjustment shall be allocated 
to  that  fiscal  year,  and  the  remaining  five-sixths  shall  be  allocated  in  equal  parts,  to  each  of  the  five 
immediately following fiscal periods. The adjustment for inflation corresponding to fiscal years beginning on 
or after January 1, 2021 is fully recognized in this fiscal year. 
Acquisitions or investments made in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are restated for inflation 
based on the percentage variations of the Consumer Price Index (IPC, for its Spanish acronym) published by 
the National Institute of Statistics and Census. Such adjustment will increase deductible amortization and tax 
cost in the event of a sale.

2.9.1.2 Deferred Income Tax 

Deferred  tax  is  recognized  on  temporary  differences  between  the  book  value  of  the  assets  and  liabilities 
included in these Financial Statements and the corresponding tax basis used to determine taxable income. 
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all temporary fiscal differences. Deferred tax assets are 
recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income 
will  be  available  against  which  those  deductible  temporary  differences  can  be  charged.  These  assets  and 
liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or from the initial recognition 
(other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the 
taxable income nor the accounting income. 

The book value of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting year and reduced to the extent that it is 
no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future to allow for the recovery of all 
or part of the asset. 

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in foreign subsidiaries. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applicable in the year 
in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and 
assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects, at the 
end of the reporting year, to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities if effective regulations allow to offset, before the 
tax authorities, the amounts recognized in those items; and if the deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from 
income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the Company intends to settle its assets and liabilities on a 
net basis. 

Under the IFRS, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, 
respectively. 

2.10 Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets 

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the provision of services, or for administrative purposes, are 
recorded at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment loss. 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful 
life.  

The estimated useful life, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed at each year-end, with the 
effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. 

Repair and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred. 

The  gain  or  loss  arising  from  the  retirement  or  disposal  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is 
calculated  as  the  difference  between  income  from  the  sale  of  the  asset  and  the  asset’s  book  value,  and 
recognized under “Other Income and Expenses, net” in the Separate Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The residual value of an asset is written down to its recoverable value, if the asset’s residual value exceeds its 
estimated recoverable value (see Note 2.12). 

Intangible assets correspond to software and are valued at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, net of 
the corresponding accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-
line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets. The Company reviews the useful lives applied, 
the residual value and the amortization method at each year-end, and accounts the effect of any changes in 
estimates on a prospective basis. 

2.11 Investment Properties  

Investment property comprises Property intended for leasing to a third party instead of being used for the 
provision of services or for administrative purposes. It is recorded at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 2.1.1, 
less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. 

The depreciation of the property classified as investment property is recognized on a straight-line basis over 
its estimated useful life. The estimated useful life, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed at 
each year-end, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. 

The gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of investment property is calculated as the 
difference  between  income  from  the  sale  of  the  asset  and  the  asset’s  book  value,  and  recognized  under 
“Other Income and Expenses, net” in the Separate Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

The residual value of an asset is written down to its recoverable value, if the asset’s residual value exceeds its 
estimated recoverable value. 

The fair value of the investment property is determined by a renowned professional appraiser with experience 
in the location in which the property is located. It amounts to approximately $ 33,000 million as of December 
31, 2023. 

2.12 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets, Except Goodwill 

At the end of each financial statement, the Company reviews the book value of its non-financial assets with 
definite useful life to determine the existence of any evidence indicating that these assets could be impaired. 
If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable value of these assets is estimated for the purposes of 
determining the amount of the impairment loss (in case the recoverable value is lower than the book value). 
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable value of an individual asset, the Company estimates the 
recoverable value of the cash-generating unit ("CGU") to which such asset belongs. Where a consistent and 
reasonable  allocation  base  can  be  identified,  corporate  assets  are  also  allocated  to  an  individual  cash-
generating unit or, otherwise, to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a consistent allocation 
base can be identified.  

The recoverable value of an asset is the higher of the fair value less selling expenses or its value in use. In 
measuring  value  in  use,  estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  at  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax 
discount rate, which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and, if any, the risks 
specific to the asset for which estimated future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

Assets with an indefinite useful life (for example, non-financial assets unavailable for use) are not amortized, 
but are tested for impairment on an annual basis.

During this year, no impairment losses have been recorded for these assets. 

2.13 Financial Instruments 

Financial assets and liabilities, on initial recognition, are measured at transaction price as of the acquisition 
date. Financial assets are derecognized in the financial statement when the rights to receive cash flows from 
them have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and 
benefits of ownership. 

2.13.1 Financial Assets 

Upon  initial  recognition,  in  accordance  with  IFRS  9,  financial  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  either 
amortized cost, or fair value, on the basis of: 

(a) the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets; and  
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 

A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: 

(a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual 
cash flows, and 
(b)  the  contractual  terms  of  the  financial  asset  give  rise,  on  specified  dates,  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

A financial asset that is not measured at amortized cost according to the paragraphs above is measured at 
fair value. 

Financial assets include: 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes Cash and banks and short-term and highly liquid investments that are 
readily convertible into cash, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and their original maturity or 
the remaining maturity at the date of purchase does not exceed three months. 

Cash and cash equivalents are recorded, according to their nature, at fair value or amortized cost. 

Investments in mutual funds are carried at fair value. Gains and losses are included in Other Financial Results, 
net.  

Investments in Government Securities were valued at amortized cost or at fair value, according to the business 
model established by the Company. 

Balances in foreign currency have been valued as mentioned above, at the exchange rates effective at the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year.

Trade and Other Receivables 

Trade and other receivables classified as either current or non-current assets are initially recognized at fair 
value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowances for 
uncollectibility. 

Balances in foreign currency have been valued as mentioned above, at the exchange rates effective at the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year. 

Investments 

Depending  on  the  business  model  adopted  by  Management,  Securities  and  Bonds  may  be  valued  at 
amortized cost or at fair value and its results are recognized under Other Financial Results, net. 

Balances in foreign currency have been valued as mentioned above, at the exchange rates effective at the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year. 

Impairment of Financial Assets 

At the time of initial recognition of financial assets (and at each closing), the Company estimates the expected 
losses, with an early recognition of a provision, pursuant to IFRS 9. 

The expected losses to be recognized are calculated based on a percentage of uncollectibility per maturity 
ranges of each financial credit. For such purposes, the Company analyzes the performance of the financial 
assets  grouped  by  type  of  market.  Said  historical  percentage  must  contemplate  the  future  collectibility 
expectations regarding those credits and, therefore, those estimated changes in performance. 

Derecognition of Financial Assets 

The  Company  derecognizes  a  financial  asset  when  the  contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  of  such  assets 
expire or when it transfers the financial asset and, therefore, all the risks and benefits inherent to the ownership 
of the financial asset are transferred to another entity. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and 
benefits inherent to the ownership of the transferred asset, it will continue to recognize it and will recognize 
a liability for the amounts received. 

2.13.2 Financial Liabilities 

Financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables, financial debt, and certain liabilities included in Other 
Liabilities. 

Financial  liabilities  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortized  cost. 
Amortized cost represents the initial amount net of principal repayments made, adjusted by the amortization 
of any differences between the initial amount and the maturity amount using the effective interest method.  

Balances in foreign currency have been valued as mentioned above, at the exchange rates effective at the 
closing of each year. The exchange differences were charged to income for each year.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities 

The Company shall derecognize a financial liability (or part of it) when it has been extinguished, i.e., when the 
obligation specified in the corresponding agreement is discharged, canceled, or expires. 

2.13.3 Derivatives 

Derivatives, if any, are initially recognized at fair value at the date of execution of the related contract and 
subsequently measured at fair value at the end of the reporting year. The resulting gain or loss is immediately 
recognized in the statement of income unless the derivate is designated as a hedging instrument, in which 
case the timing for its recognition will depend on the nature of the hedging relationship. 

2.14 Other Liabilities 

The other liabilities have been valued at nominal value. 

2.15 Separate Statement of Cash Flows 

For the purposes of preparing the separate statement of cash flows, the item “Cash and Cash Equivalents” 
includes cash and bank balances, high liquidity short-term investments (with original maturities shorter than 
90 days), and bank overdrafts payable on  demand, if any, are deducted to the extent they are part  of the 
Company’s cash management.  

Bank overdrafts are classified as “Debt” in the separate statement of financial position. 

Cash and cash equivalents at each year-end, as disclosed in the separate statement of cash flows, may be 
reconciled against the items related to the separate statement of financial position as follows: 

  Cash and Banks 
  Temporary Investments 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  distribution  of  dividends  to  the  Company’s  shareholders  is  recognized  as  a  liability  in  the  financial 
statements for the year in which the distribution of dividends is approved by the Shareholders.  

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS  

In applying the accounting policies described in Note 2, the Company has to make judgments and prepare 
accounting  estimates  of  the  value  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  that  may  not  be  otherwise  obtained.  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 year in which estimates are reviewed.

These estimates basically refer to: 

Impairment of Goodwill 

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. In determining if there is impairment of 
goodwill, the Company calculates the value in use of the cash-generating units to which it has been allocated. 
The calculation of the value in use requires the determination by the entity of the future cash flows that should 
arise from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value. 

Recognition and Measurement of Deferred Tax Items 

As disclosed in Note 2.9, deferred tax assets are only recognized for temporary differences to the extent 
that  it is probable that  the entity will have  enough future  taxable income against which the deferred tax 
assets can be used. Tax loss carryforwards from prior years are only recognized when it is probable that the 
entity will have enough future taxable income against which they can be used. 

The Company examines the recoverable value of deferred tax assets based on its business plans and books 
a valuation allowance, if appropriate, so that the net position of the deferred tax asset will reflect the probable 
recoverable value.  

Determination of the Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment  

The Company reviews the reasonableness of the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment at 
each year-end.  

Measurement of the fair value of certain financial instruments 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be purchased or sold 
between  knowledgeable,  willing  parties  in  an  arm’s  length  transaction.  If  there  is  a  quoted  market  price 
available for an instrument in an active market, the fair value is calculated based on that price. 

If there is no quoted market price available for a financial instrument, its fair value is estimated based on the 
price established in recent transactions involving the same or similar instruments and, otherwise, based on 
valuation techniques regularly used in financial markets. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety 
of methods and makes assumptions based on market conditions at closing. 

Impairment losses of certain assets other than accounts receivable (including property, plant and equipment, 
intangible assets, and investment properties) 

Certain assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and investment properties are 
subject  to  impairment  testing.  The  Company  records  impairment  losses  when  it  estimates  that  there  is 
objective evidence of such losses or when the cost of such losses will not be recovered through future cash 
flows. The evaluation of what constitutes impairment is a matter of significant judgment. The impairment of 
non-financial assets is dealt with in more depth in Note 2.12.

NOTE 10 - PROVISIONS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES  

10.1  Claims and Disputes with Governmental Agencies 

a.  On July 12, 2013, the Company was served notice of Resolution No. 17,131 dated 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 was, among other things, null and void, because it lacked sufficient grounds and its enactment 
was 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 V of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative 
Matters issued an injunction, whereby it suspended the effects of Resolution No. 17,131/2013 dated July 
11, 2013. On July 5, 2022 Chamber V of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Administrative Matters 
notified the Company of the decision rendered in re “Grupo Clarín S.A. v. CNV  – Resol No. 17,131/13 
(File  737/13)”  File  No.  29,563/2013,  whereby  it  admitted  the  direct  appeal  and  ordered  the  nullity  of 
Resolution No. 17,131/2013, which had rendered irregular and with no effect for administrative purposes 
the Company’s Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2013. Said decision became 
final because the CNV did not file an extraordinary appeal. 

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 separate financial statements, the final statements have been submitted and the file is 
pending the Court’s decision. 

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 separate financial statements, the final statements have been submitted and the file is 
pending the Court’s decision. 

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,  the  final  statements  have  been 
submitted and the file is pending the Court’s decision. 

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 separate financial statements and as informed by GC Dominio S.A., that  company has filed a 
response to the above-mentioned claim, the final statements have been submitted and the file is pending 
the Court’s decision. 

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 separate financial statements, the Company has filed a response and produced evidence. The final 
statements have been submitted and the file is pending the Court’s decision. 

On  April  03,  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 separate 
financial  statements,  the  Company  has  filed  a  response  and  produced  evidence.  The  final  statements 
have been submitted and the file is pending the Court’s decision. 

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  with  respect  to  the  decision  rendered  by  the  Court  of  Appeals  on 
Commercial Matters, the Company and its legal advisors believe 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 economic consequences in this regard. 

b.  The Argentine Federal Revenue Service (“AFIP”) served the subsidiary CIMECO with a notice challenging 
its income tax assessment for fiscal years 2000, 2001 and 2002. In such notice, the AFIP challenged mainly 
the deduction of interest and exchange differences in the tax returns filed for those years. If AFIP’s position 
prevails, CIMECO’s maximum contingency as of December 31, 2023 would amount to approximately $ 
12.3 million for taxes and $ 82.8 million for interest.  

CIMECO filed a response, which was dismissed by the tax authorities. The tax authorities issued their own 
official assessment and imposed penalties. CIMECO appealed the tax authorities’ resolution before the 
National Tax Court on August 15, 2007. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, CIMECO received a pro forma income tax assessment from 
the AFIP for fiscal periods 2003 through 2007, as a consequence of AFIP’s challenge to CIMECO’s income 
tax assessments for the periods 2000 through 2002 mentioned above. CIMECO filed a response before 
AFIP, rejecting such assessment and requesting the suspension of administrative proceedings until the 
Federal Tax Court renders its decision on the merits. 

During 2011, the AFIP served CIMECO with a notice stating the income tax charges assessed for years 
2003 through 2007 and ordering the initiation of summary proceedings. The AFIP’s assessment shows a 
difference in its favor in the Income Tax liability for the periods indicated above for an amount in excess 
of  the  amount  that  had  been  estimated  originally,  as  a  result  of  the  method  used  to  calculate  certain 
deductions. CIMECO responded to the assessment rejecting all of the adjustments and requesting that 
the proceedings be rendered without effect and filed, with no further actions to be taken.

GRUPO CLARÍN S.A.  
Registration number with the IGJ: 1,669,733 

On April 26, 2012, the AFIP issued a new official assessment comprising the fiscal years 2003 through 
2007,  in  which  it  applied  the  same  method  for  the  calculation  as  that  used  for  the  administrative 
settlement, claiming a total liability of $ 120 million. On May 21, 2012, an appeal was filed with the Federal 
Tax Court. 

On December 18, 2017, the company was served notice of Resolution No. 132/2017 (DV MRRI) which 
imposed  on  CIMECO  a  fine  of  approximately  $  33  million  in  historical  currency  as  of  that  date  for  an 
alleged omission of income tax for fiscal periods 2003-2007, pursuant to Section 45 of Law No. 11,683. 

CIMECO  and  its  legal  and  tax  advisors  believe  CIMECO  has  strong  grounds  to  defend  the  criteria 
adopted  in  its  tax  returns.  Such  criteria  would  also  provide  a  reasonable  basis  to  hold  that  the  fine 
imposed  was  illegitimate.  Therefore,  CIMECO  considers  that  AFIP’s  claims  will  not  prosper  before  a 
judicial court.  Accordingly, CIMECO has  not booked an allowance in connection with the effects such 
challenges may have. 

c.  By means of Resolution 16,364/2010, dated and notified to AGEA as of July 15, 2010, the CNV’s Board 
of Directors decided to initiate summary proceedings against AGEA and certain members as of the date 
of  initiation  of  summary  proceedings  and  former  members  of  its  board  of  directors  and  supervisory 
commission, for alleged infringement of the Argentine General Associations Law, Decree No. 677/01 and 
Law No, 22,315. AGEA, and the members as of the date of initiation of summary proceedings and former 
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  supervisory  commission  who  are  subject  to  the  summary 
proceedings,  duly  filed  their  respective  responses.  Subsequently,  the  file  was  submitted  to  the  Legal 
Affairs  Division  of  the  CNV.  On  September  9,  2019,  the  CNV  received  the  file  from  the  Criminal  and 
Correctional Court No. 11, which had been previously held by the Ministry of Economy. Subsequently, 
the CNV set the date for the preliminary hearing for March 11, 2020, which was suspended by a decision 
rendered  on  February  14,  2020  until  it  has  been  duly  clarified  how  each  of  the  parties  subject  to  the 
summary proceedings exercised its due process rights. On September 25, 2023, the CNV served notice 
of Resolution RRFCO 2023 258 APN CNV dated September 20, 2023, which decreed that the claim had 
exceeded  the  applicable  statute  of  limitations  in  relation  to  the  parties  subject  to  the  summary 
proceedings. 

d.  Through the Joint Confidential Resolution dated October 30, 2017 (No. RRFCO-2017-12-APN-DIR-CNV), 
subsequently supplemented with the Joint Confidential Resolution dated November 24, 2017 (No. RRFC-
2017-16-APN-DIR, served on the Company on December 4, 2017, the CNV decided to initiate summary 
proceedings against the Company and the members of its Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee 
and  Audit  Committee  as  of  the  date  of  the  alleged  breach  for  alleged  infringement  of  their  duty  to 
disclose the execution of an irrevocable contribution agreement with the Company’s subsidiary AGEA on 
June 24, 2014, as a relevant fact, pursuant to Section 1, 2 and 3, subsection 16), Chapter I, Title XII of the 
Rules.  The  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  AGEA,  as  well  as  its  directors  and  syndics  are  also  subject  to 
summary proceedings. Each of them filed their respective responses in due time and form. On April 25, 
2018, the preliminary hearing was held and the proceedings moved on to the presentation of evidence. 
On October 9, 2018, the parties to the summary proceeding submitted the corresponding legal brief. 
On January 25, 2021, the Company was notified of the appointment of an expert accountant to perform 
an accounting expert review as a measure to furnish additional evidence. AGEA requested the recusation 
of said expert accountant on grounds of bias, appointed its own expert accountant, and added new items 
subject to expert review. On February 08, 2021, AGEA was notified of a decision rendered on February 
05,  2021,  whereby,  among  other  issues,  the  expert  accountant  was  served  notice  of  the  request  for 
recusation.  The  expert  accountant  had  to  state  whether  she  fell  within  the  grounds  for  recusation

provided under Article 17 of the Argentine Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure. On May 5, 2021, 
the CNV served notice to AGEA of its decision dated April 30, 2021, whereby the CNV dismissed the 
objections filed against the decision served on January 25, 2021, dismissed the recusation of the expert 
accountant  appointed  by  the  CNV,  appointed  the  CPA  Silvina  Contini  as  party-appointed  technical 
advisor, and admitted the new items subject to expert review that had been proposed by those subject 
to  the  summary  proceedings.  On  June  7  and  14,  2021,  CNV  Accountant  M.  Masotto  and  Accountant 
Contini, respectively, filed their accounting expert reviews. AGEA did not challenge the expert review of 
the  expert  accountant  appointed  by  the  CNV.  On  July  28,  2021,  AGEA  was  served  with  a  Decision 
rendered by the CNV on July 19, 2021, whereby the CNV requested AGEA to provide the supplement to 
the  Legal  Brief  on  the  accounting  expert  reviews  it  had  filed.  On  August  18,  2021,  AGEA  filed  the 
supplement to the Legal Brief relating to the accounting expert review. On December 22, 2022, the CNV 
notified  the  Company,  the  permanent  members  of  the  Supervisory  Committee  and  directors  that, 
regarding the summary proceedings, it had decided i) to declare that Messrs. Héctor H. Magnetto, Lucio 
R. Pagliaro, José A. Aranda, and Ralph Harman Booth II, could not be sued by the claimant for the charges 
brought  regarding  the  execution  of  the  agreement  dated  June  24,  2014,  ii)  to  admit  the  exception 
brought  by  Messrs.  Jorge  I.  Oria  and  Martín  G.  Etchevers  stating  that  they  could  not  be  sued  by  the 
claimant for the charges brought regarding the execution of the agreement dated January 1, 2014, iii) to 
acquit  AGEA  and  its  permanent  directors  in  office  at  the  time  of  the  occurrence  of  the  events  that 
motivated the proceedings, Messrs. Alejandro A. Urricelqui, Héctor M. Aranda, and Jorge C. Rendo for 
the alleged failure to comply with Article 3, subsection 16), Section II, Chapter I, Title XII of the Regulations 
(TR 2013, as amended), iv) to acquit the permanent members of AGEA's Supervisory Committee in office 
at the time of the occurrence of the events that motivated the proceedings, Messrs. Carlos A. P. DI Candia, 
Raúl A. Morán, and Hugo E. López, for the alleged failure to comply with Article 294, subsection 1) of Law 
No. 19,550, and v) to impose fines in the amount of $500,000 and $800,000 on AGEA and Grupo Clarín, 
respectively, and to the permanent members of the Supervisory Committee and directors in office at the 
time  of  the  occurrence  of  the  events  that  motivated  the  proceedings.  On  February  10,  2023,  appeals 
were filed by those subject to the summary proceedings against such decision. As of the date of these 
Financial Statements, the  appeals are pending before Chamber I of the National Court  of  Appeals on 
Federal Civil and Commercial Matters, under file No. 2180/2023, in re Arte Gráfico Editorial Argentino 
S.A.  and  other  v.  Argentine  Securities  Commission  on  appeal  against  the  decision  rendered  by  the 
Argentine  Securities  Commission.  On  March  22,  2023,  the  Chamber  acknowledged  the  filing  of  the 
appeals and ordered the claimants to pay the court costs, and the bono de derecho fijo [a mandatory fee 
to support Argentina’s Bar Association's activities]. On May 23, 2023, the Company complied with such 
payments. On August 1, 2023, the appellant requested the Chamber to render a decision. On September 
18, 2023, following the Prosecutor's Opinion, the case was moved to judgment. 

In  addition,  through  the  Joint  Confidential  Resolution  No.  RRFCO-2017-11-APN-DIR#CNV  dated 
October  30,  2017  served  on  December  1,  2017,  the  CNV  decided  to  initiate  summary  proceedings 
against  the  Company  and  the  members  of  its  Board  of  Directors,  Supervisory  Committee  and  Audit 
Committee and the Market Relations Officer as of the date of the alleged breach for alleged infringement 
of  their  duty  to  disclose  the  appeal  filed  against  the  injunction  issued  on  December  20,  2011  in  re 
“Supercanal S.A. vs. Cablevisión S.A. and Other on Complaint for the protection of constitutional rights, 
Injunction”, and the dismissal of the appeal by the Federal Court of Appeals of Mendoza, as a relevant 
fact, pursuant to Section 1, 2 and 3, subsection 16), Chapter I, Title XII of the Rules. Cablevisión, as well 
as its directors and members of the Supervisory Committee and the Market Relations Officer as of the 
date  of  the  alleged  breach  are  also  subject  to  the  summary  proceedings.  Each  of  them  filed  their 
respective responses in due time and form. On April 25, 2018, the preliminary hearing was held and the 
proceedings moved on to the presentation of evidence. On October 9, 2018, the parties to the summary

Resolution RRFCO-2020-140-APN-DIRCNV, whereby the CNV imposed fines in the amount of $100,000 
and  $200,000  to  Cablevisión  and  Grupo  Clarín,  respectively.  On  February  17,  2021,  they  filed  the 
respective appeals, which are pending before Chamber No. I of the National Court of Appeals on Federal 
Civil  and  Commercial  Matters,  in  re:  SATTER,  MUNEER  AND  OTHER  VS.  ARGENTINE  SECURITIES 
COMMISSION ON APPEAL AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION. On August 31, 2022, the Chamber 
acknowledged the appeals and ordered the payment of court costs. On September 26, 2022, the CNV 
filed  a  response  regarding  those  appeals.  On  February  03,  2023,  the  Company  was  notified  of  the 
decision rendered by Chamber I, whereby it ratified Resolution No. RRFCO-2020-140-APN-DIRCNV. On 
February 09, 2023, a filing was made requesting that the decision be deemed to have been complied 
with by Grupo Clarín S.A., the permanent Members of the Supervisory Committee and directors through 
the  payment  made  by  Mr.  Lopez  Carnabucci  on  February  08,  2022.  On  February  15,  2023,  Telecom 
Argentina S.A., surviving company after the merger with Cablevisión S.A., settled the fine and requested 
the closing of the proceeding, and on February 28, 2023, the payment made by Telecom Argentina S.A. 
was acknowledged. On June 9, 2023, the Chamber returned to the CNV the case file "Cablevisión S.A. 
and others vs. National Securities Commission on Appeal of administrative resolution" in paper format. 

e.  The subsidiary AGEA received several inspections from the AFIP aimed at verifying compliance with the 
so-called  competitiveness  plans  implemented  by  the  National  Executive  Branch.  After  several  reports 
issued by the AFIP and the corresponding Resolutions issued by the Ministry of Economy, such agencies 
allege that certain acts performed by AGEA during 2002 lead to the nullity of some of the benefits granted 
under said plans for an estimated total amount of $ 102.8 million in historical currency as of that date, 
including adjustments and accessory amounts. In April 2013, AGEA was served notice of AFIP Resolution 
No.  03/13,  whereby  such  agency  decided  to  exclude  AGEA  from  the  Registry  of  Beneficiaries  of  the 
Competitiveness  and  Employment  Generation  Agreements  under  the  Cultural  Sector  Agreement,  as 
from  March  4,  2002.  The  AFIP  ordered  the  restatement  of  the  tax  returns  and  the  deposit  of  the 
corresponding amounts. AGEA filed an appeal against such resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
in  re  “AEDBA  and  Other  v.  Ministry  of  Economy  Resolution  No.  58/10”,  the  Federal  Court  on 
Administrative  Matters  No.  6  issued  an  injunction  ordering  AFIP  to  refrain  from  initiating  and/or 
continuing with the administrative proceeding/s and/or any act that would entail the enforcement of the 
amounts  payable  under  Resolution  No.  3/13,  until  a  final  decision  is  rendered.  Notwithstanding  the 
foregoing, AGEA cannot assure that the appeal will be resolved in its favor. Subsequent to the issuance 
of the injunction mentioned above, the National Government requested that the injunction be declared 
expired due to the application of the time limitations provided under article 5 of Law No. 26,854.  The 
intervening court lifted the injunction. AGEA filed an appeal against such decision but the appeal was 
dismissed on June 4, 2019.  On November 28, 2018, upon new requests made by the AFIP, the Company 
requested a new injunction in the case, requesting that AFIP be ordered to suspend the debt assessment 
procedures  initiated  by  that  agency.  On  May  21,  2019,  the  Company  requested  an  interim  injunction 
ordering the suspension of the effects of AFIP Resolutions Nos. 24/19 and 25/19 under which AGEA was 
demanded  to  pay,  as  well  as  the  suspension  of  any  existing  deadlines  and  any  other  activity  by  AFIP 
seeking to assess debt or to collect any amounts in connection with the tax benefits, the expiration of 
which had been challenged. Such injunction was issued on May 23, 2019, and on May 28, 2019, the court 
rendered a decision whereby it clarified that the suspension of the effects included the calculation of the 
deadlines to file an appeal with the National Tax Court. The AFIP requested the revocation of the new 
injunction requested in November 2018 and the immediate lifting of the interim injunction. On July 18, 
2019, the Court of Appeals revoked the interim injunction. As a result, AGEA has filed an appeal with the 
National Tax Court. On July 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals decided that the case was ready for resolution 
in connection with the injunction requested in November 2018. AGEA’s legal advisors believe that there 
are reasonable possibilities that the outcome will be favorable.

f.  Pursuant to Resolution No. 17,522 issued on September 18, 2014 and notified to AGEA on September 
24,  2014,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  CNV  decided  to  initiate  summary  proceedings  against  AGEA, 
certain current and former members of its Board of Directors and supervisory commission  –who occupied 
those positions between September 19, 2008 and the date of initiation of summary proceedings- and 
against that company's Head of Market Relations, for an alleged failure to comply with the duty to inform 
that  AGEA  was  a  co-defendant  in  re  “CONSUMIDORES  FINANCIEROS  ASOCIACION  CIVIL  PARA  SU 
DEFENSA AND OTHER V. GRUPO CLARÍN S.A. AND OTHER on EXPEDITED SUMMARY PROCEEDING” 
(File No. 065441/08). The summary proceeding is grounded on an alleged failure to comply with Section 
5,  subsection  a),  the  first  part  of  Section  6  and  Section  8,  subsection  a)  paragraph  V)  of  the  Annex  to 
Decree No. 677/01; with Sections 1, 2 and 3, subsection 9) of Chapter XXI of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 
2001  as  amended)  –now  Section  1  of  Part  I,  Chapter  I,  Title  XII  of  the  REGULATIONS  (T.R.  2013  as 
amended); with Sections 2 and 3 subsection 9) of Part II, Chapter I, Title XII of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 
2013 as amended); with Section 11 subsection a.12) of Chapter XXVI of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 2001 as 
amended) –now Section 11 subsection 13) of Part IV, Chapter I, Title XV of the REGULATIONS (T.R. 2013 
as amended); with Section 99 and 100 of Law No. 26,831; and with Sections 59 and 294 subsection 9) of 
Law No. 19,550. AGEA, and the members as of the date of initiation of summary proceedings and former 
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  supervisory  commission  who  are  subject  to  the  summary 
proceedings, duly filed their respective responses. On February 11, 2015, the preliminary hearing was 
held pursuant to Article 8, subsection b.1.), Title XIII, Chapter II, Section II of the Regulations (T.R 2013, as 
amended). On August 19, 2015, the company submitted the legal brief for the discovery stage. On June 
22, 2015, the judge ordered discovery proceedings. On August 19, 2015, the company submitted the 
legal  brief  for  the  discovery  stage.  On  June  9,  2021,  the  Company  was  served  with  the  Disciplinary 
Resolution upon the conclusion of the Summary Proceedings RRFCO-2021-158-APN-DIRCNV dated May 
18,  2021,  whereby  the  CNV  declared  the  claim  filed  against  Saturnino  Herrero  Mitjans  extinguished, 
dismissed the nullity and unconstitutionality claims, and acquitted the Company, its permanent directors, 
the permanent members of the Supervisory Committee and the Head of Market Relations. As a result, 
with the CNV resolution being final as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the case file 
was closed. 

g.  On February 27, 2013, the AFIP served IESA  with a notice stating the income tax and value added tax 
charges assessed for fiscal period 2008 and ordering the initiation of summary proceedings for alleged 
omitted  taxes. The AFIP  mainly challenged the deduction of certain expenses  and fees, as well as the 
calculation of the corresponding tax credit. IESA filed an appeal in connection with such order, which is 
currently  pending  before  the  National  Tax  Court.  The  official  assessment  amounts  to  $  1.4  million  for 
income tax and $ 7.9 million for late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023. 

The official value-added tax assessment amounts to $ 0.8 million for tax differences and $ 4.3 million for 
late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023.  

On October 21, 2014, the AFIP served  IESA with a notice stating the income tax and value added tax 
charges assessed for fiscal period 2009 and ordering the initiation of summary proceedings for alleged 
omitted  taxes.  The  AFIP  mainly  challenged  the  deduction  of  fees,  as  well  as  the  calculation  of  the 
corresponding tax credit. IESA filed an appeal in connection with such order, which is currently pending 
before the National Tax Court. The official assessment amounts to $ 1.2 million for income tax and $ 6.7 
million for late-payment interest and fines, calculated as of December 31, 2023. 

The official value-added tax assessment amounts to $ 0.5 million for tax differences and $ 2.6 million for

IESA and its legal and tax advisors believe that it has strong arguments in its favor to defend the criterion 
adopted in its tax returns. 

h.  Pursuant to CNV Resolution No. 16,834 dated June 14, 2012 notified to the Company on June 27, 2012, 
the CNV ordered the initiation of summary proceedings against the Company and the members of its 
Board of Directors, Supervisory Committee and Audit Committee in office at the time of the occurrence 
of the events that motivated the proceedings (September 19, 2008) for alleged failure to comply with the 
duty to inform. Under said Resolution, the CNV argues that the Company allegedly failed to comply with 
the duty to disclose the filing of a claim against it entitled “Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil 
para su defensa and other v. Grupo Clarín on/Ordinary”, which the CNV considers relevant. On July 25, 
2012, Cablevisión filed a response petitioning that its defenses be sustained and that all charges against 
it be dismissed. On March 13, 2020, the Company was served with Resolution RRFCO-2020-112-APN-
DIR#CNV, whereby the CNV imposed  a fine of $300,000 on the Company and, on a joint and several 
basis, on its Directors and members of the  Supervisory  Committee. On June  11, 2020, the respective 
appeals were filed, which are pending before Chamber II of the Court of Appeals on Federal Civil and 
Commercial  Matters  in  re  “MENZANI,  CARLOS  A  AND  OTHER  VS.  CNV  ON  APPEAL  AGAINST 
ADMINISTRATIVE  RESOLUTION”  File  No.  2,224/2021.  On  July  13,  2022,  the  CNV  filed  a  response 
regarding those appeals and, subsequently, the court costs were settled. On September 21, 2022, the 
court started reviewing the appeals to render a decision. On February 08, 2023, the Court notified the 
appellants of the rejection of the excusation of the Judge Alfredo Silverio Gusmán, a member of Chamber 
II.  On  April  27,  2023,  Chamber  II  rendered  a  decision  whereby  it:  i)  granted  the  appeals  filed  by  the 
claimants  and,  consequently,  revoked  the  Joint  Confidential  Resolution  No.  RRFCO-2020-112-APN-
DIR#CNV issued on March 11, 2020, whereby the CNV had imposed a fine on Grupo Clarín S.A. and, on 
a  joint  and  several  basis,  on  its  Directors,  members  of  the  Audit  Committee  and  members  of  the 
Supervisory  Committee,  in  all  cases  referring  to  permanent  members  in  office  at  the  time  of  the 
occurrence  of  the  events  that  motivated  the  proceedings,  for  having  violated  the  guarantees  of 
reasonable  timeframe  and  due  process  protected  by  the  Argentine  National  Constitution  and  the 
American Convention on Human Rights, and ii) awarded the costs of the appeal to the CNV. On May 22, 
2023, the CNV filed an extraordinary appeal against the decision rendered on April 27, 2023. On July 14, 
2023, the claimants answered the extraordinary appeal. The Company and its legal advisors believe that 
the  company  has  strong  arguments  in  its  favor.  Nevertheless,  the  Company  cannot  assure  that  the 
outcome of said summary proceedings will be favorable. As of the date of these financial statements, a 
decision  has  not  been  rendered  on  the  extraordinary  appeal.  On  September  1,  2023,  the  Chamber 
dismissed the extraordinary appeal and, on September 12, 2023, the CNV filed a direct appeal, which is 
pending resolution as of the date of these financial statements. 

i.  On  December  29,  2020,  GCGC  was  notified  of  a  decision  rendered  by  the  Directorate-General  of 
Revenues (“DGR”, for its Spanish acronym) of the Public Revenue Administration for the City of Buenos 
Aires, whereby said agency challenged the turnover tax returns corresponding to fiscal period 2014 of 
Compañía de Medios Digitales (CMD) S.A. (a company merged into GCGC effective as of January 01, 
2019). Accordingly, said agency issued an official tax assessment. The DGR considered that the TV trivia 
games  over  text  messages  do  not  fall  within  the  definition  of  Information  and  Communication 
Technologies (ICTs) activities, therefore, CMD is not entitled to the benefits granted by the Technological 
District (Law No. 2,972), which is contrary to the provisions of the enforcement authority of the above-
mentioned law. 

The official tax assessment amounts to $ 8.8 million for turnover tax differences for fiscal period 2014, 
with an estimated $ 37 million in late-payment interest.

On  that  same  date,  GCGC  was  served  with  a  decision  rendered  by  the  DGR,  whereby  it  ordered  the 
initiation  of  the  official  tax  assessment  procedure  regarding  turnover  tax  liabilities  of  CMD  for  fiscal 
periods 2015 and 2016. 

On February 03, 2021, GCGC filed an appeal with such agency regarding the official tax assessment for 
fiscal period 2014 and answered the order for the initiation of the official tax assessment for fiscal periods 
2015 and 2016. 

On December 27, 2022, GCGC was notified of a decision challenging turnover tax returns for the periods 
2015 and 2016. On January 31, 2023, an appeal was filed against that decision. The official tax assessment 
amounts to $ 17.2 million in tax differences, with an estimated $ 43.1 million in late-payment interest. 

GCGC and its legal and tax advisors believe that it has strong grounds to defend the criterion adopted in 
its tax returns. Accordingly, it has not booked an allowance in connection with the effects that the above-
mentioned situations may have. 

j.  The AFIP notified Pol-ka of the “Inspection Report on Social Security Contributions”, whereby said agency 
claimed differences in employer contributions for the periods June 2009 to May 2021. The AFIP claimed 
that  Pol-ka  did  not  qualify  for  the  rate  applicable  to  the  industrial  activity  as  provided  by  Decree  No. 
814/2001,  and  stated  that  the  differences  in  employer  contributions  corresponding  to  these  periods 
amounted to $ 79 million plus late-payment interest and infringements of the social security regime.  

On December 23, 2021, Pol-ka filed an appeal, challenging the above-mentioned “Inspection Report on 
Social Security Contributions”, claiming the nullity of the administrative actions, the qualification of Pol-
ka's activities as industrial activities, and the expiration of the statutes of limitation regarding the AFIP's 
powers to assess and claim differences for the periods June 2009 to November 2011.  

Regarding the appeal filed by Pol-ka, on February 13, 2023, AFIP decided to partially grant the appeal, 
and to revoke the charges for the periods from June to October 2009, but confirmed the debt and fine 
assessed for the remaining periods. On April 11, 2023, Pol-Ka filed an appeal against the tax assessment. 
On June 12, 2023, the Tax Authorities submitted the file to Chamber 3 of the Federal Court of Appeals. 

If  AFIP’s  assessment  prevailed,  considering  Pol-ka's  position  regarding  the  above-mentioned  periods, 
the maximum contingency would amount to $378 million as of December 31, 2023. 

Pol-Ka and its legal and tax advisors believe Pol-Ka has strong grounds to defend the criteria adopted in 
its tax returns. Therefore, Pol-Ka considers that AFIP’s claims will not prosper. Accordingly, Pol-Ka has not 
booked an allowance in connection with the effects such challenges may have. 

k.  On January 13, 2023, ARTEAR was served notice of Resolution of No. 2023-8-APN-SC#MEC issued by 
the Secretariat of Trade on January 11, 2023, whereby ARTEAR and another company were imposed a 
single fine of $ 150 million for finding them responsible of engaging in abuse of dominant position in 
breach of Articles 1 and 3, subsections d) and h) of Law 27,442 and article 46 subsection b) of Law 25,156.  
On February 03, 2023, ARTEAR filed an appeal with the CNDC. On May 30, 2023, the file was submitted 
to  Chamber  II  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  on  Federal  Civil  and  Commercial  Matters  in  re  “ARTE

ARTEAR and its legal advisors  believe that  they have sound grounds to claim that  the fine imposed is 
illegitimate. Therefore, ARTEAR believes that the grounds on which such resolution is based will not be 
admitted before a judicial court. 

l.  On September 5, 2023, ARTEAR was notified of the claim filed in re "ASOCIACION DE DEFENSA DEL 
ASEGURADO CONSUMIDORES  Y USUARIOS-ADACU- ASOCIACIÓN CIVIL  v.  TELECOM  ARGENTINA 
S.A. and OTHER on Ordinary Proceeding” File No. 003062/2023, pending before Clerk’s Office No. 51 
of the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 26. The claim is grounded on the fine 
imposed by the CNDC described in Note 10.1.k to these Separate Financial Statements. 

The claim brought by ADACU seeks the reimbursement to users who paid for service packs or plans that 
included  PAY  TELEVISION  (either  as  one  of  the  services  included  in  the  relevant  plan  or  as  a  single 
service),  in  the  relevant  area  of  the  Autonomous  City  of  Buenos  Aires,  boroughs  of  the  AMBA  region 
(Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires), the City of Rosario, and the City of Córdoba, from December 1, 2017 
to July 31, 2021, of 1.21% as compensatory damages and 2% as punitive damages, for all amounts paid 
by  consumers  in  the  relevant  area  of  the  contested  plans  during  the  disputed  period,  plus  interest, 
alleging that the fixing of prices qualifies as an anti-competitive practice. 

On September 26, 2023, a response was filed in due time and form. 
ARTEAR and its legal advisors believe that they have sound grounds for the claim brought by ADACU to 
be dismissed, especially since ARTEAR does not have any subscribers who pay for any services; instead, 
users are subscribed to the services rendered by the cable operators. 

10.2  Other Claims and Disputes 

a.  Pursuant to a notarial  certificate issued on September 19, 2008, AGEA and the Company were served 
notice of a legal action brought by an entity representing consumers and alleged financial victims (and 
by  six  other  individuals).  Claimants  are  Multicanal  noteholders  who  claim  to  be  allegedly  affected  by 
Multicanal’s APE. The claim is grounded on a Consumer Defense Law that, in general terms, provides for 
an ambiguous procedure that is very strict against the defendant. 

The Company, AGEA and certain directors and members of the supervisory committee and shareholders 
have  been  served  notice  of  the  claim.  After  rejecting  certain  preliminary  defenses  presented  by  the 
defendants, such as the application of statutes of limitation and the failure to comply with prior mediation 
procedures, the claim  followed ordinary procedure  and the above-mentioned persons duly filed their 
respective responses. 

On September 4, 2017, the Court of First Instance rejected the claim brought by the entity representing 
consumers and alleged financial victims and by individuals.  As of the date of these Separate Financial 
Statements, both parties filed an appeal against that decision and the file is currently pending before the 
Court of Appeals. 

On  September  12,  2019,  Chamber  D  of  the  Commercial  Court  of  Appeals  confirmed  the  decision 
rendered  by  the  court  of  first  instance  that  had  rejected  the  claim  brought  by  the  entity  representing 
consumers and alleged financial victims. On October 7, 2019, the entity representing consumers filed a 
federal extraordinary appeal against this decision. AGEA and the Company filed a response on October

28, 2019. On December 29, 2022, Chamber D of the National Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters 
decided to dismiss the extraordinary appeal filed by the claimant. 

b.  On September 16, 2010 the Company was served notice of a claim brought against it by Consumidores 
Financieros  Asociación  Civil  para  su  Defensa.  The  plaintiff  claims  a  reimbursement  of  the  difference 
between the value of the shares of the Company purchased at their initial public offering and the value 
of the shares at the time a decision is rendered in the case. The Company has duly responded to the 
claim and the intervening Court  has  deemed the claim responded. The proceeding is currently in the 
discovery stage. 

c. 

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.  

On  March  23,  2022,  Chamber  F  of  the  National  Court  of  Appeals  on  Commercial  Matters  ratified  the 
decision rendered by the Court of First Instance which had dismissed the claim seeking to extend the 
bankruptcy brought by the claimant. The latter filed an extraordinary appeal against such decision and 
the  Company  requested  dismissal  of  such  extraordinary  appeal.  As  of  the  date  of  these  Financial 
Statements, the extraordinary appeal filed by the claimant was dismissed. 

d.  The shareholders of Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. approved a capital increase, whereby ARTEAR increased 
its equity interest in such company to 91.3%. ARTEAR paid in the full amount subscribed. Notwithstanding 
the foregoing, within the framework of a claim requesting the nullification of the decisions rendered at a 
Shareholders’  Meeting  held  on  July  13,  2020,  pending  before  the  National  Court  of  First  Instance  on 
Commercial  Matters  No.  3,  Clerk’s  Office  No.  6  of  the  City  of  Buenos  Aires,  the  effects  of  the  above-
mentioned  capital  increase  were  suspended  by  an  injunction  granted  at  the  request  of  a  minority 
shareholder of Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. Accordingly, ARTEAR exercised its political and economic rights 
in Pol-ka Producciones S.A. for a number of shares representing 55% of the capital stock and votes of that 
company until June 14, 2022, the date on which the Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters revoked 
said injunction. Currently, the claim brought to request the nullification of the decisions rendered at the 
Shareholders’ Meeting held on July 13, 2020 is still pending resolution. 

In February 2023, Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. was notified of another claim brought by one of its minority 
shareholders requesting the nullification of the decisions rendered at a Shareholders’ Meeting held on 
July 13, 2020, pending before the National Court of First Instance on Commercial Matters No. 3, Clerk’s 
Office No. 6 of the City of Buenos Aires. 

Pol-Ka Producciones S.A. and its legal advisors believe that the claim lacks legal grounds and that Pol-Ka 
Producciones S.A. will not have to face adverse consequences in this regard. 

10.3 Matters concerning Papel Prensa 

1. Papel Prensa suspended its operations with related parties between March 9 and April 21, 2010 pursuant 
to an injunction issued on March 8, 2010 by Judge Malde. In his ruling, Judge Malde decided to suspend the

Board  of  Directors’  resolution  of  December  23,  2009,  which  had  approved  the  terms  and  conditions  of 
transactions with related parties for the year 2010. On April 21, 2010, the Board of Directors of Papel Prensa, 
following a proposal made by the court-appointed supervisor (interventor) and co-administrator, approved 
the resumption of Papel Prensa’s transactions with related parties under provisional conditions for as long as 
the decision rendered by the Board on December 23, 2009 remained suspended and/or until Papel Prensa’s 
corporate  bodies  established  a  business  practice  to  follow  with  related  parties.  Such  approval  involved 
suspending the application of volume discounts in connection with purchases made by related parties, which 
could be recognized in their favor, subject to the court’s decision on the appeal filed by Papel Prensa against 
Judge Malde’s injunction of March 8, 2010. As from April 21, 2010, transactions with related parties were 
resumed under the provisional conditions approved by the Board on April 21, 2010. 

At a meeting held on December 23, 2010, Papel Prensa’s Board of Directors approved new conditions that 
must  be  fulfilled  for  the  recognition  and  payment  of  volume  discounts  that  may  be  applicable  to  related 
parties  in  connection  with  purchases  of  paper  made  as  from  April  21,  2010.  These  new  conditions  are  as 
follows: (i) the lifting of the provisional suspension of the resolutions adopted by the Board at the meeting of 
December 23, 2009, as explained in the previous paragraph, and (ii) the resolution or end, by any means, of 
any state of uncertainty that may eventually exist about the conditions approved by Papel Prensa’s Board in 
the first item of the agenda of the meeting held on April 21, 2010, as a consequence of the claim brought by 
the  National  Government  in  re  “National  Government  –  Secretariat  of  Domestic  Trade  –  v./  Papel  Prensa 
S.A.I.C.F. y de M. on/ Ordinary”, File No. 17,615/97,564, pending before Federal Commercial Court of First 
Instance No. 26, Clerk’s Office No. 52. Under this proceeding, the  National Government sought to obtain, 
among  other  things,  a  declaratory  judgment  of  nullity  of  the  provisional  conditions  for  the  resumption  of 
transactions with related parties in connection with the purchase and sale of paper that had been approved 
by the Board of Papel Prensa in the first item of the agenda of the above-mentioned meeting held on April 
21, 2010. The court held that the claim became moot, as indicated in point 2 above. 

Furthermore,  at  this  meeting  held  on  December  23,  2010,  Papel  Prensa’s  Board  decided  to  maintain  the 
approved sales policy, but to subject the accrual and enforceability, and, consequently, the recognition and 
payment to the clients, of the eventual volume discounts that may be applicable to them with respect to paper 
purchases made between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, to a final favorable ruling in the claim 
brought by Papel Prensa against the constitutionality of SCI Resolution No. 1/2010, or to the final nullification 
of such Resolution No. 1/2010 in any other way or by any other legal means, whichever occurs first. In view of 
the decisions rendered in this case, the substantive claim, in this aspect, is now subject to the outcome of the 
claim brought by Papel Prensa against the constitutionality of Law No. 26,736. With respect to related parties, 
the Board of Directors of Papel Prensa approved the same sales policy and conditions as those approved for 
the other customers in general.  

In a meeting held on December 27, 2011, the Board of Directors of Papel Prensa decided to maintain for 
2012  the  same  sales  policy  that  had  been  approved  for  2011  –  under  the  same  terms  and  conditions 
mentioned in the previous paragraph – for all of its customers in general (including related parties), which 
was maintained in subsequent years and, to date, no changes have been introduced.  

The commercial policy approved by Papel Prensa was affected by Law 26,736 –effective as from January 5, 
2012– which declared that the production, sale and distribution of wood pulp and newsprint were matters of 
public interest and set forth the regulatory framework to be adopted by the producers, sellers, distributors, 
and buyers of such inputs.  

Among  other  things,  the  Law  set  limits  and  established  conditions  applicable  to  Papel  Prensa  for  the 
production,  distribution  and  sale  of  newsprint  (including  a  formula  to  determine  the  price  of  paper),  and

created the National Registry of Producers, Distributors and Sellers of Wood Pulp and Newsprint where all 
producers,  sellers,  distributors  and  buyers  shall  be  registered  as  a  mandatory  requirement  in  order  to 
produce, sell, distribute, and/or purchase newsprint and wood pulp.  

On February 10, 2012, AGEA registered with the National Registry of Producers, Distributors and Sellers of 
Wood Pulp and Newsprint (Record No. 63 under File No. S01:0052528/12), expressly stating for the record 
that such registration should not be construed as an acknowledgment or acceptance of the legitimacy of Law 
26,736 and/or  any other regulation issued in connection with such Law, since  they seriously affect several 
rights and guarantees of AGEA. 

On January 10, 2019, Law No. 27,498 was published in the Official Gazette. This law repealed certain articles 
of Law No. 26,736, allowing companies to offer their customers discounts, benefits or promotions based on 
purchase volumes. On the other hand, said law establishes parameters for granting extensions of payment 
terms, and prohibits, for a term of 10 years, to make changes to the wood pulp and newsprint import duties 
currently in effect, which are set at zero percent (0%). 

Pursuant to Article 11 of Emergency Decree No. 70/2023, published in the Official Gazette of Argentina on 
December 21, 2023, the National Government repealed Law No. 26,736. 

2. In March 2016, the Commercial Court of Appeals –Chamber C– summoned Papel Prensa, the CNV, and 
the  shareholders,  the  National  Government,  S.A.  La  Nación  CIMECO  and  AGEA  to  attend  a  hearing  for 
conciliatory purposes and with the aim of finding a comprehensive solution to the conflict. At that hearing, 
held on June 3, 2016, Papel Prensa, AGEA and the other shareholders present at the hearing (the National 
Government,  S.A.  La  Nación  and  CIMECO)  requested  that  the  procedural  periods  remain  suspended  in 
connection with the claims pending before that Court of Appeals, and also requested the court to order a 
shareholders’ meeting of Papel Prensa to address, basically, the issues included under subsections 1, 2 and 
3 of Section 234 of Law No. 19,550, as amended, corresponding to fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. On September 5, 2016, the Court of Appeals called for a Shareholders’ 
Meeting  as  requested  and,  at  such  meeting,  the  shareholders  approved  the  financial  statements  of  Papel 
Prensa for  the  years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and other accounting 
documentation  under  subsection  1,  Section  234  of  Law  No.  19,550,  as  amended,  appointed  directors, 
statutory auditors and members of the supervisory committee for the year 2016, approved the capitalization 
of the capital adjustment for  $ 123,293,385 in historical currency as of that  date, issued  a decision on the 
approval  and  disapproval  of  the  performance  of  certain  directors,  statutory  auditors  and  members  of  the 
supervisory committee during the full fiscal years under consideration, and unanimously appointed external 
auditors engaged with issuing an opinion on the financial statements of Papel Prensa as of December 31, 
2016 and March 31, 2017. On October 4, 2017, the Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters rendered a 
decision on more than 90 proceedings declaring them moot as requested by Papel Prensa and revoking  - 
among others- Resolutions Nos. 16,647, 16,671, and 16,691 issued by the CNV. Both decisions rendered by 
the Court of Appeals became final. Papel Prensa submitted the same request to the Court of First Instance 
on Commercial Matters regarding most of the proceedings pending before the court and that had not been 
submitted to the Court of Appeals, at the request of the Court. The Judge of the Court of First Instance issued 
a favorable decision on the request and declared moot all of the claims within the scope of that request. At 
the General Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting that approved the financial statements of Papel Prensa 
for the year ended December 31, 2016, the shareholders resolved not to approve the performance of the 
representatives  appointed  to  the  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Supervisory  Committee  by  the  National 
Government who held office until February 2016, as well as the performance of the syndics who held office 
until  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  October  19,  2016,  also  representing  the  National  Government,  and

decided  to  bring  a  corporate  liability  action  (Section  276  of  Law  19,550,  as  amended),  which  is  currently 
pending before Federal Commercial Court of First Instance No. 26, Clerk’s Office No. 52. 

3.  On  June  6,  2013,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  CNV  issued  CNV  Resolution  No.  17,102,  within  the 
framework  of  the  Administrative  File  No.  1,032/10,  whereby  it  required  that:  (i)  certain  members  of  Papel 
Prensa's  Supervisory  Committee  and  statutory  auditors  be  imposed  a  fine  of  $  150,000  each  in  historical 
currency as of that date; and (ii) Papel Prensa, certain members of its Board of Directors, one member of its 
Supervisory Committee and the members of its Oversight Board (all of them representatives of Papel Prensa's 
private shareholders) be imposed a joint and several fine of $ 800,000 in historical currency as of that date. 
Papel Prensa and its other current and former officers filed an appeal against the fine in due time and form, 
which is pending to date. On June 28, 2013, the fine was paid under protest in order to prevent its coercive 
enforcement  by  the  CNV;  given  that,  under  the  new  Capital  Markets  Law  No.  26,831,  appeals  may  be 
admitted without suspension of judgment. 

4.  On  October  8,  2019,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Papel  Prensa  approved  the  voluntary  delisting  of  the 
Company subject to the approval of the shareholders at the General Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting 
and to the pertinent regulatory approvals (CNV and BYMA). However, on November 20, 2019, in view of the 
imminent change of administration in the National Government, the Board of Directors decided to stay the 
delisting it had approved, thus suspending the Shareholders’ Meeting it had duly called.   

5. AGEA has not recorded any impact in connection with the foregoing, since its effects shall depend on the 
final outcome. Such effects are not expected to be material to these financial statements. 

NOTE 11 - REGULATORY FRAMEWORK  

11.1. Audiovisual Communication Services Law 

The subsidiaries of Grupo Clarín that render audiovisual communication services are holders of licenses that 
were originally awarded under the regime established by Law No. 22,285. Under Law No. 22,285 audiovisual 
communication service companies in Argentina were required a non-exclusive license from the COMFER in 
order to operate.  

The Audiovisual Communication Services Law (Law No. 26,522, LSCA, for its Spanish acronym) was passed 
and enacted on October 10, 2009, with strong criticism about its content and enactment procedure. 

By  the  end  of  December  2015,  the  National  Executive  Branch  issued  Emergency  Decree  No.  267/15, 
published in the Official Gazette on January 4, 2016, whereby significant amendments were introduced to 
Laws Nos. 26,522 and 27,078 (the Digital Argentina  Law, "LAD", for its Spanish acronym). The Emergency 
Decree was approved on April 6, 2016 by the Lower House of Congress. Therefore, it has full force and effect. 

11.2. Enforcement Authority 

The Comité Federal de Radiodifusión (Federal Broadcasting Committee, “COMFER”, for its Spanish acronym) 
was the enforcement authority established by Law No. 22,285. 

Law No. 26,522 provided for the replacement of the COMFER by the Audiovisual Communication Services 
Law Federal Enforcement Authority (AFSCA, for its Spanish acronym) as a decentralized and autarchic agency 
under the jurisdiction of the Executive Branch, and vested the new agency with authority to enforce the law.

The Emergency Decree created the ENACOM as a decentralized and autarchic agency under the jurisdiction 
of the Ministry of Communications and vested the new agency with authority to enforce Laws Nos. 26,522 
and 27,078, as amended and regulated. The ENACOM has all the same powers and competences that had 
been vested in AFSCA and the Information and Communications Technology Federal Enforcement Authority 
(“AFTIC”, for its Spanish acronym) by Laws Nos. 26,522 and 27,078, respectively.  

Upon the issuance of Decrees Nos. 7/2019 and 50/2019, published in the Official Gazette on December 11, 
2019 and on December 19, 2019, respectively, the ENACOM was under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat of 
Public Innovation under the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers. 

Pursuant to Decree No. 111/2024 (which amended Decree No. 50/2019), published in the Official Gazette 
on February 2, 2024, the National Government modified the organizational structure of the National Public 
Administration. Consequently, the ENACOM is under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Cabinet of Ministers.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, through Decree No. 89/2024, published in the Official Gazette on January 
29,  2024,  the  National  Government  ordered  the  intervention  of  the  ENACOM  for  a  period  of  180  days. 
Pursuant to said Decree, the powers established for the Enforcement Authority under Laws Nos. 26,522 and 
27,078  are  jointly  assigned  to  the  Intervenor  and  the  Deputy  Intervenors.  The  period  during  which  the 
Regulatory Authority will be subject to intervention may be renewed only once. 

11.3. Multiple License Regime 

The multiple license regime established under Law No. 22,285 allowed licensees to hold at the national level 
up to twenty-four  (24) sound or  television broadcasting  licenses. At the local level, one individual or  legal 
entity could have up to one sound broadcasting license, one television license and one subscription television 
license. In this last case, FM broadcasting services were not included in this limit if they were broadcast from 
the same station and location as the AM broadcasting services. 

The  LSCA  introduced  comprehensive  amendments  on  the  multiple  license  regime,  against  which  the 
Company and some of its Subsidiaries filed an unconstitutionality claim. Eventually, that claim was dismissed. 
The original regime approved by the LSCA regarding broadcast services: i) restricted to 10 the number of 
audiovisual  communication  service  licenses,  plus  a  single  broadcast  signal  for  radio,  broadcast  TV  and 
subscription television services that made use of the radioelectric spectrum; ii) set forth a further restriction 
on these services, which could not be provided to more than 35% of all inhabitants or subscribers nationwide; 
and iii) at the local level, the regime established the following limits: a) one (1) sound broadcasting license 
for amplitude modulation (AM); b) one (1) sound broadcasting license for frequency modulation (FM) or up 
to two (2) licenses when there are more than eight (8) licenses in the primary service area; c) one subscription 
television  license,  provided  the  applicant  was  not  the  holder  of  a  broadcast  television  license;  d)  one  (1) 
broadcast television license provided the applicant was not the holder of a subscription television license. 
Under no circumstances may the aggregate number of the licenses granted in the same primary service area 
or any group of highly overlapping service areas exceed three (3) licenses. 

Among  the  main  amendments  introduced  by  the  Emergency  Decree  with  respect  to  the  LSCA,  the  most 
remarkable is the repeal of Section 161, which set forth the obligation to conform to the provisions of this law 
with  respect  to  ownership  conditions  and  the  number  of  licenses.  Section  45  of  Law  No.  26,522,  which 
establishes the multiple license regime, has been significantly amended. As a result, the Company and its 
subsidiaries already conform to the new regulatory framework.

As far as the Company is concerned, the Emergency Decree: i) eliminated the incompatibility to render in the 
same location broadcast television services and subscription television services; ii) increased the limit to 15 
of broadcast (television and radio) service licenses that may be accumulated at national level; iii) eliminated 
the restriction to hold cable television signals; and iv) eliminated the restriction on broadcast services, which 
could  not be provided to more  than  35%  of all inhabitants or  subscribers nationwide. At the local level, it 
increased to 4 the number of licenses that could be accumulated. 

Subsequently, through Decree No. 70/2023 published in the Official Gazette  on December 21, 2023, the 
National Government once again amended the multiple license regime, eliminating the limit of audiovisual 
communication services set at the national level (15 broadcast television and radio services).  

11.4. Terms of the Licenses 

Law No. 22,285 provided that broadcasting licenses were granted for an initial period of 15 years, allowing 
for a one-time extension of 10 years. The extension of the license was subject to the approval of the COMFER, 
which would determine whether or not the licensee had met the terms and conditions under which the license 
had been granted. Some of the licenses exploited by the subsidiaries have already been extended for the 
above-mentioned 10-year term. 

On  May  24,  2005,  Decree  No.  527/05  provided  for  a  10-year-suspension  of  the  terms  then  effective  of 
broadcasting  licenses  or  their  extensions.  Calculation  of  the  terms  was  automatically  resumed  upon 
expiration of the suspension term, subject to certain conditions. The Decree required that companies seeking 
to benefit from the extension submit to the COMFER’s approval, within 2 years from the date of the Decree, 
programming proposals that would contribute to the preservation of the national culture and the education 
of  the  population  and  a  technology  investment  project  to  be  implemented  during  the  suspension  term. 
COMFER  Resolution  No.  214/07  regulated  the  obligations  established  by  Decree  No.  527/05  in  order  to 
benefit from such suspension. The proposals then submitted were approved and, accordingly, the terms of 
the licenses originally awarded to the subsidiaries of Grupo Clarín were suspended for ten (10) years. 

Even though Law No. 26,522 respected the original expiration terms of the licenses effective at the time of its 
enactment, it set a 10-year limitation to the terms of licenses, with a one-time non-renewable extension. 

With regard to the term of the licenses for television and radio broadcast services, the Emergency Decree 
establishes two important changes: 

• 

It provides for a new system of extensions for audiovisual communication service licenses whereby the 
licensee may request a first extension for five (5) years, which will be automatic. Upon expiration of this 
term,  licensees  may  request  subsequent  extensions  of  ten  (10)  years  complying  in  that  case  with  the 
provisions of the Law and applicable regulations to be eligible for each extension. However, this system 
of subsequent extensions may be interrupted upon the expiration of the last extension if the Ministry of 
Communications decides to call for a public bid for new licensees, for reasons of public interest, for the 
introduction  of  new  technologies  or  in  compliance  with  international  agreements.  In  this  case,  prior 
licensees shall have no acquired rights regarding their licenses. 

•  Section 20 of the Emergency Decree provides that the holders of licenses effective as of January 1, 2016 
may request a ten (10) year extension, without it being necessary to wait until the expiration of the license 
that is currently effective. Such extension shall be considered as a first period that entitles the holder to 
the five (5) year automatic extension.

Taking into consideration the advantages provided under the new legal framework with regard to the terms 
of the licenses, the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company that hold licenses for rendering broadcast 
television and sound broadcasting services made a filing with the ENACOM requesting the extension of the 
terms of their licenses pursuant to Article 20 of the Emergency Decree. 

The ENACOM issued Resolution No. 135/2017, whereby it deemed that ARTEAR had opted to request an 
extension under Section 20 of Decree No. 267/15 and stated that the term for the first period of TEN (10) 
years, with the right to an automatic extension for a term of FIVE (5) more years, shall be calculated as from 
January 2, 2017. 

Through  Resolutions  Nos.  1,890/2018  and  1,874/2018,  the  ENACOM  deemed  that  the  remaining 
subsidiaries of the Company had opted to request an extension under the regime provided by Article 20 of 
Decree No. 267/15, for the exploitation of broadcast television services (LU 81 TV Channel 7 of Bahía Blanca 
and LV 81 TV Channel 12 of Córdoba).  

The ENACOM issued Resolution No. 1,176/19, whereby it granted the extension requested by Radio Mitre 
for all of its licenses for the provision of sound broadcasting service and deemed that Radio Mitre had opted 
to request such extension under the regime provided by Article 20 of said Decree. The extension was granted 
for a term of 10 years, with the right to an automatic extension for a term of 5 more years. 

11.5. Award of a Digital Channel 

Through Resolution No. 1,329/AFSCA/2014, which amended Resolution No. 1,047/AFSCA/2014, the AFSCA 
approved the National Standard for Terrestrial and Broadcast Digital Television Audiovisual Communication 
Services, and to Decree No. 2,456/2014, which approves the National Digital Audiovisual Communication 
Services Plan.  

Through this legal framework, which was subsequently supplemented by Resolutions No. 24/AFSCA/2015, 
35/AFSCA/2015  and  No.  39/AFSCA/2015  (among  others),  the  rights  of  the  current  broadcast  television 
licensees could be infringed. These rights should be preserved intact as established in Law No. 26,522, which 
has higher hierarchy. The main effect of these regulations, among their technical effects, is that the current 
broadcast  television  licensees  that  obtained  their  licenses  pursuant  to  Law  No.  22,285  will  have  to  bear 
additional charges and obligations including, among other things, multiplexing and broadcasting under their 
own responsibility other broadcast television stations owned by third parties. 

Since the changes introduced under this regulatory framework have an impact on the responsibilities and 
rights of the companies involved, ARTEAR and TELECOR S.A.C.I. filed a claim  before AFSCA in due time, 
requesting  the  revocation  of  Resolutions  No.  1,329/AFSCA/2014,  24/AFSCA/2015,  35/AFSCA/2015  and 
39/AFSCA/2015 to preserve their rights intact as direct or indirect broadcast television service licensees. They 
also filed a claim before the National Executive Branch requesting the repeal of Decree No. 2,456/2014. As 
of the date of these Financial Statements, the claim filed before AFSCA was dismissed. Therefore, ARTEAR 
challenged before the courts that agency’s decision to dismiss the claim. The claim filed before the National 
Executive Branch is still pending resolution. 

The subsidiaries of the Company that hold broadcast television licenses were awarded a digital channel to 
render terrestrial digital television services under the legal regime described above. The following are the 
Resolutions that determined the final award of each of the digital channels:

11.6. Decree No. 690/20 – Amendments to the LAD 

On August 22, 2020, the National Executive Branch issued Decree No. 690/2020, whereby it amended the 
Digital Argentina Act. 

Among  the  amendments  that  were  introduced  by  Decree  No.  690/2020,  ICT  Services  –  fixed  and  mobile 
telephony,  subscription  television  and  Internet  –  and  the  access  to  telecommunications  networks  for  and 
between  licensees  are  now  deemed  “essential  and  strategic  public  Services  subject  to  competition”,  and 
ENACOM shall guarantee their actual availability. 

The  prices  of  essential  and  strategic  public  ICT  Services  subject  to  competition,  the  prices  of  the  services 
provided  under  the  Universal  Service  and  of  those  determined  by  ENACOM  based  on  reasons  of  public 
interest, shall be regulated by said agency. 

The  Decree  also  provides  that  ENACOM  shall  establish,  in  the  respective  regulations,  the  Mandatory 
Universal Basic Provision of ICT Services. 

It also provided for the suspension of price increases or modifications established or announced from July 
31, 2020 to December 31, 2020 by ICT licensees.  

The Decree was ratified by the Argentine Congress under the terms of Law No. 26,122 and was regulated 
through  ENACOM  Resolutions  Nos.  1,466/2020  and  1,467/2020,  published  in  the  Official  Gazette  on 
December 21, 2020.  

Said Resolutions provide that ICT Services Licensees that hold registration for Internet Access Value Added 
Service  (SVA-INT,  for  its  Spanish  acronym);  subscription  broadcasting  services  by  physical  and/or  radio-
electric  link  (SRSVFR,  for  its  Spanish  acronym)  and  audiovisual  communication  subscription  services  by 
satellite link (DTH); shall notify the Enforcement Authority about any and all changes in retail prices they intend 
to make to their plans, prices and commercial terms in effect, SIXTY (60) calendar days in advance of their 
implementation. 

Resolution No. 1467/2020 regulates the Mandatory Universal Basic Service set forth by Decree No. 690/2020 
for the different services provided by ICT Services Licensees, establishing the price and characteristics of each 
plan. 

Said Resolution also sets out the persons that are eligible to receive those services.  

It is important to highlight that some ICT service licensees that fall within the scope of the legal regime have 
been granted injunctions suspending its enforcement and, in some cases, courts of first instance have issued 
rulings declaring it unconstitutional. In fact, through Decree No. 89/2024, which orders the intervention of 
the  ENACOM,  the  National  Government  commissioned  the  preparation  of  a  report  to  analyze  the

consequences brought about by the issuance of Emergency Decree No. 690/20, as well as a proposal for the 
resolution of the issue. 

11.7. General Rules Governing Physical and/or Radio Electric Link Subscription Broadcasting Services 

ENACOM  Resolution  No.  1,491/2020  issued  on  December  24,  2020  approved  the  new  General  Rules 
Governing Physical Radio-Electric and/or Satellite Link Subscription Broadcasting Services. 

Even though the new General Rules maintain the onerosity of all the broadcast television services and signals 
that fall within the scope of the “must carry” regime (signals and services subject to mandatory retransmission) 
by  the  providers  of  subscription  television  services,  they  introduce  the  concept  of  “fair,  equitable  and 
reasonable price” and implement a dispute resolution procedure in case of disagreement between signal 
holders  and  distributors  (by  physical,  radio-electric  or  satellite  link)  to  be  brought  before  the  ENACOM, 
whereby the parties are deemed to have voluntarily accepted to be subject to this procedure. 

In addition, the General Rules provide that in the event that signal holders and physical, radio-electric and/or 
satellite link subscription television licensees do not settle their dispute, distributors shall include the signal 
in the programming grid at the price set by ENACOM’s Board based on the information gathered during the 
proceeding. 

It should be noted that both the price and the settlement procedure are applicable to any signal, including 
those which are not subject to mandatory retransmission. 

In addition, the General Rules also provide that the commercialization of one signal may not be conditional 
on  the  acquisition  of  other  signals  and,  in  the  case  of  sales  of  signal  packages,  the  price  must  include  a 
breakdown of the price of each of the signals included in the package. 

ARTEAR’s legal advisors believe that the ENACOM is not empowered to set the price of a signal, regardless 
of  whether  or  not  it  is  a  signal  subject  to  mandatory  retransmission,  and  that  it  would  be  arbitrary  and 
unconstitutional if the agency imposed a price on the owner of content that does not voluntarily agree to the 
settlement proceeding. 

11.8. Administrative Sanction Proceedings 

Through Resolution No. 661/AFSCA/2014, the ENACOM approved the current Regime for the Grading of 
Penalties, the General Rules on the procedures to be followed for the substantiation of summary proceedings 
initiated due to infringements of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, an Installment Plan Regime 
to be applied to the infringements subject to fines committed from November 21, 2002 up to and including 
June 23, 2010, within the framework of the effectiveness of Resolution No. 830/COMFER/02 and Law  No. 
22,285 and an Option for the new Regime for the Grading of Penalties (fines) for infringements committed 
while Resolution No. 324/AFSCA/2010 was still in effect. 

ARTEAR exercised the option to settle those fines calculated under the regime set forth by Resolution No. 
661/AFSCA/2014,  which  allowed  for  the  assessment  of  significantly  more  beneficial  amounts.  It  executed 
payment agreements with the Enforcement Authority, which as of this date have already been settled.  

Through Resolution No. 2,882/ENACOM/2019, as amended by Resolution No. 2,984/2019, the ENACOM 
amended  the  Regime  for  the  Grading  of  Penalties  approved  by  Resolution  No.  661/AFSCA/2014.  The 
amendments resulted mainly in a reduction of the tax rates to be applied to the calculation of the penalties

for infringement of Law No. 26,522, and a reduction of the fines imposed whenever infractions are committed 
in shows produced by producers that are duly registered in the Registro de Señales y Productoras (Registry 
of Signals and Producers), which will be charged with such infractions. 

ARTEAR made a filing with the ENACOM requesting the assessment of fines applicable to the infringements 
committed  from  July  2014  up  to  and  including  December  2018  and  requested  the  adherence  to  the 
installment  payment  plan  established  under  Resolution  No.  2,882/ENACOM/2019,  with  respect  to  those 
summary  proceedings  on  which  information  was  requested  and  sanctions  were  imposed.  The  aggregate 
amount  of  the  fines  assessed  for  that  period  for  which  a  final  decision  has  already  been  rendered  on  the 
summary proceedings related to LS85 TV Canal 13 is of $2,343,755.70. ARTEAR executed an agreement with 
the Enforcement Authority to settle that amount in a single installment. 

NOTE 12 - CAPITAL STOCK STRUCTURE 

Upon the Company’s public offering during 2007, the capital stock amounted to $ 287,418,584, represented 
by: 

- 

- 

- 

75,980,304 Class A common, registered, non-endorsable shares, with nominal value of $ 1 each and 
entitled to five votes per share. 

186,281,411 Class B book-entry common shares, with nominal value of $ 1 each and entitled to one 
vote per share. 

25,156,869 Class C common, registered, non-endorsable shares, with nominal value of $ 1 each and 
entitled to one vote per share. 

On  October  5  and  11,  2007,  the  CNV  and  BCBA,  respectively,  granted  authorization  for  the  Company’s 
admission to the initial public offering of its capital stock, authorizing the Company to (i) offer publicly its Class 
B book-entry common shares; (ii) list its Class B book-entry common shares; and (iii) list its registered non-
endorsable Class C common shares, trading of which was suspended due to restrictions on transfers set forth 
in the Company’s Bylaws. Also in the last quarter of 2007, the Company was granted authorization to list its 
GDSs in the LSE. Each GDS represents two of the Company’s Class B common shares. 

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.

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 held 1,485 treasury shares. During fiscal year 2020, said shares were settled 
in accordance with applicable regulations. 

On November 22, 2023, pursuant to a resolution by its Board of Directors, the Company submitted a request 
to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trade the Global Depositary Shares 
representing Class B shares of the Company ("GDSs") that had been previously granted. The Company also 
requested the UK Financial Conduct Authority for the delisting of the GDSs from the Official List. 

This decision was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors due to the decrease in trading volume in 
London  since  2017  as  a  result  of  the  low  liquidity  of  the  asset  in  that  market,  the  costs  associated  with 
maintaining the listing in that market, and the fact that investors will retain the current right to hold their GDSs 
or convert them into Class B shares of the Company, which are listed and traded on BYMA. 

On  December  22,  2023,  the  UK  Financial  Conduct  Authority  authorized  the  delisting  of  the  GDSs 
representing Class  B shares of the Company, and  the London Stock  Exchange canceled the admission  to 
trade such GDSs in that market. 

NOTE 13 - LONG-TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES 

During the last quarter of 2007, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, began to implement a long-term 
savings  plan  for  certain  executives  (directors  and  managers  comprising  the  “executive  payroll”),  which 
became effective in January 2008. Executives who adhere to such plan undertake to contribute regularly a 
portion of their salary (variable within a certain range, at the employee’s option) to a fund that will allow them 
to strengthen their savings capacity. Each company of the Group where those executives render services will 
match the sum contributed by such executives. This matching contribution will be added to the fund raised 
by the employees. Under certain conditions, the employees may access such funds upon termination of their 
participation in the long-term savings plan. 

In addition, such plan provides for certain special conditions for those managers who were in the “executive 
payroll”  before  January  1,  2007.  Such  conditions  consist  of  supplementary  contributions  made  by  each 
company to the plan related to the executive’s years of service with the Group. As of December 31, 2023, 
such supplementary contributions made by the Company on a individual basis amount to approximately $ 
49.3 million, and the charge to income is deferred until the retirement of each executive. 

During  2013,  and  in  view  of  the  current  environment,  certain  changes  were  made  to  the  savings  system, 
though maintaining in its essence the operation mechanism and the main characteristics with regard to the 
obligations undertaken by the company. 

Pursuant to IAS No. 19, the above-mentioned savings plan qualifies as a Defined Contribution Plan, which 
means that the companies’ contributions shall be charged to income on a monthly basis as from the date the 
plan becomes effective.

NOTE 14 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   

14.1 – Financial Risks Management 

The  Company  is  a  party  to  transactions  involving  financial  instruments,  which  entail  exposure  to  market, 
currency and interest rate risks. The management of these risks is based on the particular analysis of each 
situation,  taking  into  account  its  own  estimates  and  those  made  by  third  parties  of  the  evolution  of  the 
respective factors.  

14.1.1 Capital Risk Management 

The Company manages its capital structure seeking to ensure its ability to continue as an ongoing concern, 
while  maximizing  the  return  to  its  shareholders  through  the  optimization  of  financial  debt  and  equity 
balances. 

As part of this process, Grupo Clarín monitors its capital structure through the financial debt-to-equity ratio, 
which is equal to the quotient of its net financial debt (Financial Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents) divided 
by shareholders’ equity. 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any balances under loans.

14.1.3 Objectives of Financial Risk Management

14.1.4 Exchange Risk Management 

Grupo Clarín enters into foreign currency transactions; therefore, it is exposed to fluctuations of exchange 
rates.  

The  Company  does  not  currently  enter  into  foreign  exchange  hedging  transactions  to  manage  foreign 
currency  fluctuation  risk.  In  case  the  Company  enters  into  such  transactions,  it  cannot  assure  that  those 
operations will protect its financial position from the eventual negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations. 

The following table shows the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency (US dollars) at 
the closing of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

The  sensitivity  analysis  presented  above  is  hypothetical  since  the  quantified  impact  is  not  necessarily  an 
indicator of the actual impact, because exposure levels may vary over time. 

14.1.5. Interest Rate Risk Management  

At  the  closing  of  the  year,  the  Company  does  not  have  any  financial  liabilities  with  variable  interest  rates. 
However, a substantial increase in interest rates may limit the Company’s ability to access financing.  

14.1.6. Credit Risk Management 

Credit risk is defined as the risk that one of the parties may breach its contractual obligations, generating an 
eventual  financial  loss  for  the  Company.  The  Company  renders  services  solely  to  companies  of  the  same 
economic group. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited due to the fact that the counterparties are banks 
with high credit ratings issued by credit rating agencies. 

The following table details the maturities of the Company’s financial assets as from the closing of the reporting 
year. The amounts disclosed in the table are the undiscounted contractual cash flows.

14.1.7. Liquidity Risk Management 

The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for liquidity management. Accordingly, it has established an 
adequate  framework  to  manage  liquidity  so  that  Management  can  meet  short,  medium,  and  long-term 
financing requirements, as well as the Company's liquidity management.  The Company manages liquidity 
risk maintaining an adequate level of reserves, financial facilities, and loans, monitoring on an ongoing basis

Financial assets are valued using quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), or the prices of 
similar instruments arising from sources of information available in the market (Level 2). As of December 31, 
2023  and  2022,  the  Company  did  not  have  any  asset  or  liability  for  which  a  comparison  had  not  been 
conducted against observable market data to determine their fair value (Level 3). 

14.1.10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The book value of cash and banks, accounts receivable and short-term liabilities is similar to the fair value 
because these are instruments with short-term maturities.

b.  On  June  24,  2022,  Grupo  Clarín  accepted  a  proposal  from  TRISA,  whereby  Grupo  Clarín  guarantees

with the  proposal,  Grupo  Clarín created a pledge  in favor  of FOBAL on term deposits held by Grupo 
Clarín for US$ 4,050,000. As counter guarantee, TRISA transferred to Grupo Clarín US$ 3,000,000. The 
counter guarantee does not accrue any interest for TRISA. Grupo Clarín shall return the counter guarantee 
to TRISA from time to time, proportionally, as FOBAL releases the counter-guaranteed pledges. 

On  June  27,  2022,  Grupo  Clarín  received  from  TRISA  the  amount  corresponding  to  the  counter 
guarantee. Pursuant to the financial obligations undertaken by TRISA, Grupo Clarín shall return to TRISA 
the counter guarantee as follows: US$ 450,000 in November 2022, which was returned by the Company 
in March and July 2023, and US$ 2,550,000 in March 2026.

CIMECO, which holds the remaining 40%, collectively representing approximately 20% of the capital 
stock and votes of DLA.  

As consideration, the Company paid US$ 98,400 and assigned certain rights over real estate, which 
brought the total value of the transaction to approximately US$ 0.6 million.  

The Company, through CIMECO, already owned 80% of the capital stock and voting rights of DLA; 
consequently, with the purchase of the above-mentioned shares, it now  holds 100%  of the capital 
stock and voting rights of DLA, both directly and indirectly. 

In July 2023, the Company and IESA executed an agreement relating to irrevocable contributions on 
account  of  future  share  subscriptions  whereby  Grupo  Clarín  made  a  contribution  in  IESA  of  US$ 
950,000, equivalent to $ 250,752,500 ($ 487.3 million in constant currency as of December 31, 2023). 

In October 2023, the Company entered into an irrevocable contribution agreement with Radio Mitre 
for  the absorption of losses, whereby it contributed the amount of U$S 500,000 to said company, 
equivalent to $173,750,000 (U$S 245.9 million in constant currency as of December 31, 2023).

NOTE 18 – TRANSFER OF PROPERTY 

On October 24, 2023, the Company and DLA entered into a deed in lieu of payment agreement, whereby 
DLA agreed to settle the financial debt it held with the Company under the loans described in Note 4.5, by 
transferring certain properties owned by DLA. The  amount of the transaction will be the principal plus the 
corresponding accrued interest up to the date of actual payment, i.e., until the effective date of the transfer 
of the properties. 

In relation to the aforementioned, on January 23, 2024, the transfer of the following properties owned by 
DLA to Grupo Clarín was completed: (i) property located at Av. San Martín 1049/1055 and Primitivo de la 
Reta 1054 in the City of Mendoza, and (ii) units two and three of Galerias Piazza located at Av. San Martin 
1,027  in  the  City  of  Mendoza.  With  the  transfer  of  these  properties,  DLA  settled  the  debt  it  held  with  the 
Company as of that date, amounting to U$S 1,466,805. 

Similarly, on January 23, 2024, Grupo Clarín transferred units two and three of Galerias Piazza located at Av. 
San Martin 1.027 in the City of Mendoza. The value of these properties was established at U$S 100,000. The 
transfer was made to partially settle the debt that the Company owed to the minority shareholders of Diario 
Los Andes Hermanos Calle S.A. for the purchase transaction of 20% of said company described in Note 17. 
As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the amount of the debt for this transaction amounts 
to approximately US$ 0.4 million. 

NOTE 19 - MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO 

The Company operated in a complex economic context, with a strong volatility in the main variables, both at 
the national and international level.  

The main variables in Argentina were: (i) a decline in activity of 1.4% in 2023, according to preliminary GDP 
data, (ii) an annual cumulative inflation of 211%, (iii) a strong devaluation of the peso against the US dollar, 
from $ 180 per US$ at the start of the fiscal year to $ 805 per US$ at the end of the fiscal year, with December 
experiencing  the  highest  devaluation,  and  (iv)  the  monetary  authority  imposed  exchange  restrictions  to

contain  the  demand  for  dollars.  This  involved,  among  other  things,  the  requirement  to  request  prior 
authorization from the Argentine Central Bank to make payments abroad. 

On  December  10,  2023,  a  new  government  took  office  in  Argentina,  which  has  set  among  its  goals  to 
establish a new economic regime in the country. To this end, it proposes to carry out a broad reform of laws 
and regulations to advance with a deep deregulation of the economy and with structural reforms that lift the 
restrictions  for  investing  and  operating  in  the  country,  including  the  gradual  easing  of  the  previously 
mentioned exchange restrictions, with the objective of eliminating them once the macroeconomic conditions 
to do so are met.  

Among  its  first  measures,  the  new  government  issued  an  Emergency  Decree  that  repeals  and/or  amends 
about  300  laws,  introducing  reforms  in  the  labor  market,  the  customs  code,  and  the  status  of  public 
companies, among others. Although the Emergency Decree is subject to consideration and ratification by at 
least  one  of  the  chambers  of  the  National  Congress,  its  provisions  have  been  partially  in  effect  since 
December  29,  2023,  in  light  of  a  series  of  legal  actions  that  have  granted  the  suspension  of  certain 
amendments.  

The context of volatility and uncertainty persists as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. The 
Company's  Management  continuously  monitors  the  evolution  of  the  variables  that  affect  its  business,  to 
define its course of action and identify potential impacts on its equity and financial position. 

The Company’s financial statements should be read in light of these circumstances.   

NOTE 20 – LAW No. 26,831 CAPITAL MARKETS 

Capital Markets Law – Law No. 26,831, as amended 

On  December  28,  2012,  Capital  Markets  Law  No.  26,831  was  published  in  the  Official  Gazette.  This  law 
eliminated the self-regulation of the capital market, granted new powers to the CNV, and repealed Law No. 
17,811 and Decree No. 677/01, among other regulations. Law No. 26,831 became effective on January 28, 
2013. As from its effective date, the Public Tender Offer regime applies to all listed companies. 

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  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 Law No. 26,831, 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, until the judge 
that is finally declared competent to render a decision on the merits assumes full jurisdiction of the case and

of  calls  for  Shareholders’  Meetings  must  be  uploaded  under  "Calls  for  Shareholders’  Meetings"  in  the 
Financial Information Highway. iii) The call shall include information about how the meeting will be held, and 
state, in a clear and simple way, the communication system to be used. iv) In the event of the appointment 
and/or resignation of directors, the updated list must be published under "List of Officers" in the Financial 
Information Highway. v) Within 10 business days of the Shareholders’ Meeting, companies must provide a

book and signed, within 5 business days, by the President, the shareholders appointed to such effect, and a 
representative of the oversight body. viii) The participants that attend the Shareholders’ Meeting remotely

Independent Auditors’ Report 

To the Shareholders, President and Directors of 
Grupo Clarín S.A. 
Legal domicile: Piedras 1743 
City of Buenos Aires 
Tax Code No.: 30-70700173-5 

Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements 

Opinion 

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. (the “Company”), 
including the separate statement of financial position at December 31, 2023 and the separate statements of 
income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 
separate financial statements, including a summary of the most significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information. 

In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the 
separate financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and its separate comprehensive income and its 
separate cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”). 

Basis for Opinion 

We have conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Those standards 
have been adopted as auditing standards in Argentina by Technical Pronouncement No. 32 of the Argentine 
Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) and approved by the International Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements section of our report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Independence 

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board 
for Accountants (IESBA Code), together with requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate financial 
statements in Argentina, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these 
requirements and the IESBA Code.  

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 
the separate financial statements for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of 
the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a 
separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters 

Audit response 

Recognition of advertising revenue from 
subsidiaries 

The Group, through its subsidiaries, has different 
sources of sales revenue. Advertising sales revenue 
from the subsidiaries amounting to $93,198,527,172 
are recognized when the advertisement is published 
and are calculated considering any estimated discount, 
bonus, or rebate offered by its subsidiaries.  

We considered the accuracy of advertising sales 
revenue recognized as a key audit matter. The reason 
for the foregoing is the different systems required for 
the provision and pricing of these services, given their 
nature, and the inclusion of manual activities into the 
business process of this source of revenue, which 
represents an inherent risk. 

The recognition of advertising sales revenue from 
subsidiaries has a direct impact on the calculation of 
income and equity used by Grupo Clarín to measure its 
investments, by applying the accounting policies 
described in Note 2.4. 

The audit procedures performed included the 
following, among others: 
•  Understanding the procedure performed by 

Management to determine and recognize 
revenue from advertising in each of the 
subsidiaries.  

•  Evaluating the relevant information system and 
the design and operational effectiveness of the 
control over the capture and recording of revenue 
transactions. To this end, our Information 
Technology specialists have assisted us in the 
audit of automated controls, including controls 
over the interface between the various system 
applications. We also performed tests on access 
controls and change management controls for 
the Group's billing systems. 

•  Evaluating current manual controls in place over 

the authorization of changes to rates, the 
introduction of discounts, the effective provision 
of the service, and the entry of that information 
into the billing systems.  

•  Performing tests, based on a sample of customer 
invoices, on the accuracy of rates and discounts. 

•  Performing tests on key reconciliations used by 
Management to assess the completeness and 
accuracy of revenue. 

•  Performing tests on the documentation 

supporting manual journal entries to revenue 
accounts to identify unusual items. 

•  Requesting confirmations based on a sample of 

account receivables transactions. 

Information that accompanies the Separate Financial Statements (“Other Information”) 

The Other Information comprises the annual report. The Board of Directors is responsible for the Other 
Information.   

Our opinion on the separate financial statements will not cover the Other Information and, therefore, we do not 
express any audit conclusion. 

In relation to our audit of the separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and 
when doing so, considering whether the other information contained is materially inconsistent with the separate 
financial statements or with our knowledge obtained in the audit or if for any other reason it appears to contain a 
material misstatement. If, based on the work performed, we consider that, as regards our field of competence, 
there is a material misstatement in the other information, we have to report it. We have nothing to report in this 
regard.

Board of Directors’ and Audit Committee’s Responsibilities for the Separate Financial Statements 

The Board of Directors of Grupo Clarín S.A. is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 
separate financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for the internal control the Board of Directors may 
deem necessary to prepare the separate financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due 
to fraud or error. 

In preparing the separate financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s 
ability to continue operating as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the 
Company, or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation of Company’s financial reporting. 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements 

The objective of our audit is to obtain reasonable assurance that the separate financial statements as a whole are 
free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with ISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from 
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected 
to influence the economic decisions taken by users on the basis of these separate financial statements.  

As part of the audit in accordance with ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional 
skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and asses the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, 
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or override of internal control.  

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by the Company’s Board. 

•  Conclude on the appropriate application by the Company Board of Directors of the going concern basis of 

accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists as to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern. 
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the 
related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion.  Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of issue of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue operating as a 
going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall separate financial statement presentation, structure and content, including disclosures, 

and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner 
that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance (the Company’s Audit Committee) regarding, among other 
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant 
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement on our fulfillment of relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence and communicate any relationship and other matters that might be thought to affect our 
independence and, when applicable, the actions taken to reduce threats or the related safeguards. 

Among the matters that have been subject to communications with those responsible for the Company’s 
government (Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors), we determine those of most significance in the 
audit of the separate financial statements, which are, consequently, the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in this audit report, except for those legal or regulatory provisions that prohibit the public disclosure of the 
matter or if, in extremely infrequent circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be disclosed in our 
report, because it is reasonable to expect that the adverse consequences of doing so would outweigh the public 
interest benefits thereof. 

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

In compliance with current regulations, we report that: 

a)  The separate Financial Statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. are transcribed into the Inventory and Balance 

Sheet book and as regards those matters that are within our competence, they are in compliance with the 
provisions of the General Companies Law and pertinent resolutions of the National Securities 
Commission;  

b)  The Separate Financial Statements of Grupo Clarín S.A. arise from accounting records kept in all formal 

respects in conformity with legal regulations, which maintain the security and integrity conditions on the

c)  at December 31, 2023, the debt of Grupo Clarín S.A. accrued in favor of the Argentine Integrated Social 
Security System amounted, according to the Company’s accounting records, to $36,341,745, none of 
which was claimable at that date; 

d)  as required by Section 21, subsection b), Chapter III, Part VI, Title II of the regulations issued by the 

National Securities Commission, we report that total fees for auditing and related services billed to the 
Grupo Clarín S.A. during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 account for:  

d.1) 96% of the total fees for services billed to the Company for all items during that fiscal year;  

d.2) 6% of the total fees for services for auditing and related services billed to the Company, its parent 

company, subsidiaries and related companies during that year;  

d.3) 5% of the total fees for services billed to the Company, its parent company, subsidiaries and related 

companies for all items during that year and,  

e)  we have applied the anti-money laundering and financing of terrorism procedures for Grupo Clarín S.A., as 
prescribed by professional standards issued by the Professional Council of Economic Sciences for the City 
of Buenos Aires.

Grupo Clarín S.A. 
TAX ID No. 30-70700173-5 
Registered office: Piedras 1743 
City of Buenos Aires 

REPORT  ON  THE  CONTROLS  PERFORMED  BY  THE  SUPERVISORY  COMMITTEE  ON  THE  FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS AND THE ANNUAL REPORT PREPARED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS  

I.  OPINION  

In our capacity as members of Grupo Clarín S.A.'s Supervisory Committee, we have  performed a review of the 
following documents: 

a)  The  attached  Separate  Financial  Statements  of  Grupo  Clarín  S.A.  comprising  the  Separate  Statement  of 
Financial Position as of December 31, 2023, the Separate Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Separate 
Statement of Changes in Equity, and the Separate Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended. 

b)  The  attached  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of  Grupo  Clarín  S.A.  and  its  subsidiaries  comprising  the 
consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  as  of  December  31,  2023,  the  Consolidated  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and the Consolidated Statement of 
Cash Flows for the year then ended. 

c)  A summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

d)  The Inventory and Annual Report prepared by the Board of Directors for the year ended December 31, 2023. 

In our opinion: (i) the separate financial statements mentioned in Section I. a), present fairly, in all material respects, 
the separate financial position of Grupo Clarín S.A. as of December 31, 2023, the results disclosed in the separate 
statement  of  comprehensive  income  and  in  the  separate  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  in 
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards; and (ii)  the consolidated  financial statements 
mentioned in section I. b), present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Grupo Clarín 
S.A.  and  its  subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2023,  and  the  results  disclosed  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
comprehensive Income and in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended in accordance 
with the International Financial Reporting Standards. 

We have reviewed the  Inventory and the Board  of Directors' Annual Report, comprising the main body and its 
Exhibit I, for the year ended December 31, 2023. In this regard, within the scope of our competence, we have no 
observations to make. The representations about future events included in the Annual Report are the exclusive 
responsibility of Grupo Clarín S.A.’s Board of Directors. 

II. 

BASIS FOR OPINION  

We performed the controls pursuant to Article 294, subsection 5 of the General Associations Law (Law No. 19,550, 
as amended), the regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”, for its Spanish acronym), the Rules 
of Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A., and Technical Resolution No. 15  issued by the Professional Council in 
Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires (CPCECABA, for its Spanish acronym), as amended by Technical 
Resolution No. 55 issued by said Council.) Our responsibilities arising from the above-mentioned regulations are 
described below under Responsibilities of the Supervisory Committee regarding the controls to be performed on 
the Financial Statements. 

In order to conduct our professional work on the documents detailed in Section I. a) and b) of this report, we have 
reviewed the work performed by the Company’s external auditor R. Sergio Cravero, a partner of Price Waterhouse 
&  Co.  S.R.L.,  who  issued  his  audit  reports  on  March  08,  2024.  He  conducted  his  audit  in  accordance  with 
International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Our work included the review of the work plan, the nature, scope, and 
timeliness of the procedures applied and the results of the audit carried out by the external auditor. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We believe that our work and that of the Company's external auditors, detailed in the respective reports, provides 
a sufficient and appropriate basis to support our opinion. We have not performed any management control and, 
therefore,  we  have  not  assessed 
financing, 
commercialization, and production matters, since these matters are the exclusive responsibility of the Company's 
Board of Directors. 

the  business  criteria  and  decisions  on  administrative, 

Regarding the Annual Report, comprising the main body and its Exhibit I, prepared by the Board of Directors for 
the year ended December 31, 2023, we verified that it contains the information required by Article 66 of the General 
Associations Law, as amended, and other information required by oversight agencies. 

We expressly state that we are independent of Grupo Clarín S.A. and that we have complied with the other ethical 
requirements  in  accordance  with  the  International  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants  (including  the 
International  Independence  Standards)  issued  by  the  International  Ethics  Standards  Board  for  Accountants 
(IESBA Code), together with the requirements applicable to an audit of financial statements in Argentina, and we 
have fulfilled the other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements and the IESBA Code. 

III. 

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REGARDING 
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The Board of Directors of Grupo Clarín S.A. is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial 
statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and for the internal control 
as the  Board of Directors may deem  necessary to prepare  the  financial statements that are free  from  material 
misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 
to continue operating as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The  Audit  Committee  is  responsible  for  overseeing  the  process  required  for  the  preparation  of  the  Company's 
financial reporting. 

IV. 

RESPONSIBILITY  OF  THE  SUPERVISORY  COMMITTEE  REGARDING  THE  CONTROLS  TO  BE 
PERFORMED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Our responsibility is to report on the documents indicated in Section I. based on our statutory audit and the audit 
work  carried  out  by  the  Company's  external  auditors.  We  conducted  our  review  in  accordance  with  Technical 
Resolution No. 15 issued by the FACPCE (amended by Technical Resolution No. 55 issued by the FACPCE). 
Said  standards  require  that  the  review  of  the  financial  statements  be  conducted  in  accordance  with  effective 
auditing standards for the review of 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. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free from material 
misstatement, whether  due to fraud  or error, and to  issue a  Supervisory Committee's Report that  includes  our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from 
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 
influence the economic decisions made by users based on the financial statements. 

As  part  of  our  work  in  accordance  with  ISAs,  we  apply  our  professional  judgment  and  maintain  professional 
skepticism throughout the review. In addition, through the review of audit working papers, we: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements whether due to fraud or 
error, design and apply audit procedures to respond to those risks and obtain sufficient and appropriate 
audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to 
fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error because fraud may involve collusion, 
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that 
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness 
of the Company's internal control. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by the Company’s Board of Directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriate application by the Company’s Board of Directors of the going concern basis 
of accounting and, based on the evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists as to events or 
conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Company's  ability  to  continue  operating  as  a  going 
concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw  attention  in  our 
Supervisory  Committee's  Report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements  or,  if  such 
disclosures  are  not  appropriate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  evidence 
obtained up to the date of our Supervisory Committee's report. However, future events or conditions may 
cause the Company to cease to be a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including disclosures, 
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that 
achieves fair presentation. 

V.

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

a)  The attached financial statements detailed in Section I. a) and b) comply with the provisions of the General

ended  December  31,  2023,  we  have  applied  the  procedures  set  forth  in  Article  294  of  Argentine  General 
Associations  Law  (Law  No.  19,550,  as  amended),  as  deemed  necessary  based  on  the  circumstances  and  we 
have no observations to make in that regard. 

d)  We have reviewed the information included in the corresponding Exhibit about the degree of compliance with 
the Code of Corporate Governance required under CNV Regulations and we have no observations to make in that 
regard. 

e)  As required by CNV regulations, regarding the independence of the external auditors and the quality of the 
audit policies applied by them and the accounting polices applied by the Company, the above-mentioned external 
auditor's report includes the representation concerning the application of the International Auditing Standards as 
they were adopted in Argentina by the FACPCE through Technical Resolution No. 32 and the respective adoption 
communications, which provide for independence requirements, and was issued without qualifications as to the 
application of such regulations or discrepancies as to the professional accounting standards applied.  

f)  We have applied the asset laundering and terrorist financing crimes prevention procedures provided under 
the professional standards issued by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires, 
within the scope described in Section II.
