Financial Leasing
An alternative is offered that allows the use of a unit with the possibility of acquiring it in the future, through a monthly payment plan that represents its purchase value. This model offers the advantage of deducting interest for income tax purposes and crediting 100% of the VAT corresponding to each payment.
Operating Leasing
The use of a unit is provided in exchange for a monthly payment, which can be deducted for income tax purposes according to the lease invoice. The VAT corresponding to the rentals is recoverable and, at the end of the contract, the user has the option of purchasing the unit or returning it.
Simple Loan
After making an initial payment equivalent to a certain percentage of the value of the asset, the purchase invoice is issued in the user’s name. The interest paid monthly can be deducted for income tax purposes and is not subject to VAT. Additionally, at the beginning of the financing, the total crediting of this tax is allowed.

Pre-tax income
In 2024, income before taxes was P$1,184 million, which represents a decrease of -7.7% compared to the P$1,283 million recorded in 2023. This variation is explained by the following factors:
I) Decrease of P$75.8 million in the adjusted financial margin, mainly due to an increase in the allowance for loan losses. It is worth noting that in 2023 there was a positive impact due to collection strategies and a high level of recoveries of commercial loans that had been defaulted in previous years and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
II) P$57.4 million increase in commercial loan fees collected, driven by both growth in the floor plan loan portfolio and higher portfolio placement fees.
III) P$6 million increase in net interest income, mainly associated with operations related to foreign exchange fluctuations.
IV) Decrease of P$30.6 million in operating lease income, as a result of lower rental income, due to a lower placement of this product during the first months of 2024.
V) Positive variation of P$6.5 million, explained by a combination of the following effects: lower recovery of the bad debt portfolio in pure leases, decrease in income from purchase options in capital leases, increase in the gain on foreclosure and sale of repossessed assets, recognition of allowances for doubtful accounts, higher impairment of foreclosed properties and losses on sale of fixed assets and equipment for lease.
VI) Increase of P$62.6 million in operating expenses, mainly explained by higher payroll-related expenses, as well as growth in external consulting expenses and system improvement projects.

Net income
In 2024, net income was P$868 million, a decrease of -9.9% compared to the P$964 million recorded in 2023. This variation mainly reflects the lower pre-tax result, associated with a lower adjusted financial margin and higher operating expenses.
Despite higher fee income and a positive intermediation effect, portfolio growth implied an increase in loan loss provisions, which affected operating income. In addition, income taxes increased 11.3%, contributing to a greater difference between income before taxes and net income for the year.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY
ASSETS
Assets consist mainly of the value of its portfolio, the distribution of which is shown below:
Managed Portfolio
The portfolio is comprised of three key segments: Wholesale, Retail and Simple Leasing. During 2024, the portfolio under management recorded an increase of 121.9%, mainly attributed to: a) During 2024, the heavy vehicle sector in Mexico faced a relevant technological transition, driven by the entry into force of SEMARNAT’s NOM-044, which establishes that as of 2025, only vehicles with Euro 6 or EPA 24 technology may be invoiced. Faced with this transition and historic demand-with 67,704 units sold wholesale in 2024 (22.3% more than in 2023)-International Motors Mexico implemented a pre-buy scheme, a common practice in the face of regulatory changes, allowing distributors to acquire Euro 5 units before the end of 2024 for subsequent marketing.
As a result, TRATON Financial Services Mexico recorded a significant increase in units financed, mainly in the floor plan portfolio, which increased by P$8,740.7 million, driving the growth of the total portfolio under management. b) increase in the retail portfolio by P$2,824.9 million and c) increase of P$173.5 million at the end of 2024 compared to 2023, in the balance of equipment for operating leases, which is the result of a higher placement of this product during the year under review.

Portfolio by Risk Level (IFRS9)
In 2022, in order to adopt international standards that optimize the management of the loan portfolio, new accounting criteria were implemented in the Mexican financial system, aligned with the Financial Reporting Standards and the IFRS9 regulation. Among the modifications, the classification of the portfolio into three risk stages (1, 2 and 3) and an expected loss model for each one was introduced, allowing a more accurate assessment of the impairment of financial instruments.
By 2024, the Stage 3 Portfolio was reduced from 2.5% in 2023 to 1.6%, representing a decrease of 36.0%.
This result was driven by I) restructurings and renewals of P$106.3 million, II) uncollected accrued interest of P$218.4 million, III) collections, foreclosures and NAFIN deposits of P$359.4 million, IV) interstage transfers of P$194.5 million, V) write-offs and write-downs of (P$84.1) million and VI) foreign exchange fluctuation of P$.30 million. VII) the increase in the placement of the wholesale portfolio, which occurred mainly during the last quarter of the year.
