The Company has borrowings denominated in US dollars and debt securities at variable interest rates in pesos, which in case of an increase in interest rates, would reduce the Company’s cash flows. Through the contracting of the CAP´s and SWAP´s with HSBC and Scotiabank, in some of these borrowings, the Company seeks to limit the risk of interest rate increases. In 2016 the Company contracted some hedges in which it has a floor and two collars to the increase in interest rates, so that if the relevant rate surpasses the level established (strike) in the contract, the CAP generates positive cash flows to the Company, which offsets the negative effects of the increase in the interest rates from the underlying loans.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are negotiated in the market Over The Counter (OTC), through national and international counter parties.
