    • Q2 2011 consolidated operating leverage amounted to 12.5% on a y-o-y basis, while standalone operating leverage stood at 32.6% on a y-o-y basis during the same period.

“I am pleased that on the back of significant monetary and fiscal tightening in the first half of 2011 and 6.4% Lari appreciation against U.S.$, we observed year-to-date 11% net loan book growth in Georgia and significant asset quality improvements. These two factors played the critical role in achieving triple digit net profit growth in first half 2011 compared to first half 2010, translating into 22%1 return on average equity in first half 2011 - our main target.

Georgian economy showed a 5.8% estimated real GDP growth while FDI reached U.S.$ 174 million in first quarter of 2011. By June 2011, the number of visitors to Georgia increased by 45% compared to the same period in 2010, one of the contributor to the appreciation of Lari against U.S.$ and the growth of the NBG FX reserves by 25% to U.S.$2.5 million in first half of 2011. Inflation growth rate, the only concern since the beginning of the year, slowed down significantly after peaking at 14.3% in May 2011 to 8.5% in July 2011 and we started to observe loosening of monetary policy as the National Bank decreased the refinancing rate by 25 bps to 7.75% in July 2011 and reduced the minimum reserve requirement for commercial banks from 15% to 0% on international borrowings with the remaining maturities of more than two years in August 2011. At the same time, we expect significant stimulus from the Ministry of Finance in second half of 2011 as it needs to achieve budget deficit of circa GEL 454 million from budget surplus of GEL 48 million in first half 2011. This increased spending will enable the sovereign to achieve circa 3% budget deficit for 2011.

Solid first half results and positive macro outlook as outlined above gives us good ground for strong second half performance in terms of balance sheet growth and profitability” commented Irakli Gilauri, Chief Executive Officer.

Q2 2011 summary of the Bank’s consolidated results

In Q2 2011, the Bank’s Total Operating Income (Revenue) increased 11.7% q-o-q and 25.2% y-o-y to GEL 101.8 million. This was driven by 16.1% y-o-y growth of Net Interest Income (reaching GEL 60.0 million, up 5.4% q-o-q) and 41.1% y-o-y growth of Net Non-Interest Income (GEL 41.8 million up 22.2% q-o-q). On a quarterly basis, the growth of Net Interest income benefited from the growth of the net loan book, which increased by 8.8% q-o-q on a consolidated and 10.2% on a standalone basis outpacing the 5.2% q-o-q growth of consolidated and 5.3% q-o-q standalone client deposits, respectively. As a result, Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the quarter increased to 7.3%, up from the NIM of 7.0% in Q1 2011. Increase in overall business activity drove the growth of all other Non-Interest Income items. Net Foreign Currency Related Income, grew by 40.5% q-o-q to GEL 13.4 million and Net Fee and Commission Income increased by 25.2% to GEL 15.0 million.

On a year-on-year basis, in Q2 2011, Net Interest Income grew 16.1% y-o-y, despite the 39.8% y-o-y growth in Client Deposits compared to the 23.1% increase of the loan book year-on-year. The Bank’s 41.1% y-o-y growth of Q2 2011 Net Non-Interest Income was driven by the growth of all Non-Interest Income items compared to the same period last year. Net Fees and Commission Income grew 38.2% y-o-y to GEL 15.0 million, Net Income from Documentary Operations grew by 59.7% y-o-y to GEL 3.4 million and Net Foreign Currency Related Income increased 51.8% y-o-y to GEL 13.4 million. Net Other Non-Interest Income amounted to GEL 9.9 million, up 27.9% y-o-y, with the growth mostly attributed to the increase in Brokerage and Investment Banking Fees to GEL 1.3 million in Q2 2011 compared to GEL 20 thousand in Q2 2010. As result of the healthy growth of all Non-Interest Income items, the Q2 2011 Net-Non Interest Income accounted for 41.1% of the Bank’s revenue, up from 37.5% in Q1 2011 and from 36.4% in Q2 2010.

Total consolidated Recurring Operating Costs for the quarter increased by 5.0% q-o-q to GEL 49.6 million (up 6.7% y-o-y). The main driver of cost growth during the quarter was the increase in Personnel Costs, which grew 6.1% on a year-on year and 7.2% on a quarter on quarter basis to GEL 27.5 million, in line with the growth of the Bank’s banking operations in Georgia. In Q2 2011, Personnel Costs as percent of Revenue continued to decline reaching 27.1% of the Bank’s Revenue, down from 31.9% in Q2 2010 and from 28.2% in Q1 2011. Normalised Net Operating Income of GEL 52.1 million was up 50.0% y-o-y (up 18.9% q-o-q), resulting in the improved consolidated Normalised Cost/Income Ratio of 48.8% compared to the Normalised Cost/Income ratio of 51.9% in Q1 2011 and 57.3% in Q2 2010.

Net Non-Recurring Income (Costs) for the quarter amounted to GEL 1.1 million and consisted of the following items:

Net Non-Recurring Income / (Costs)   Q2 2011
 
Amounts in GEL '000 Quarter
Gain from BYR/U.S.$ Hedge 20,054
BNB Goodwill Impairment (13,000)
Loss from the Eurobond Buyback (5,452)
Loss from Disposal of Liberty Consumer Associate, InfoGeorgia (1,371)
Gain from Sale of Properties 864
One-off Tax Adjustment (2,906)
Other Net Non-Recurring 694
Total (1,117)

Due to the Belarusian Ruble (BYR0 devaluation against the U.S.$ the Bank recorded GEL 20.1 million non-recurring income on its BYR/US$ hedge. Also as a result of BYR devaluation the Bank made a GEL 13.0 million goodwill write-down on its BNB investment and as of 30 June 2011, the total goodwill related to BNB amounted to GEL 10.4 million. The non-recurring cost of GEL 5.5 million was recorded due to the Eurobond buy-back in Q2 2011. The Bank made a negative adjustment on tax in the amount of GEL 2.9 million under the non-recurring items, which is related to tax benefit of GEL 3.3 million, recorded under the corporate profit tax item.

The Bank’s consolidated Net Provision Expense for the quarter declined to GEL 2.1 million, down from Net Provision Expense of GEL 5.2 million and GEL 12.6 million in Q1 2011 and Q2 2010, respectively. Net Provision Expense in Q2 2011 was largely a result of the Net Provision Expense for BNB in the amount of GEL 3.4 million due to the 40.1% devaluation of the BYR against GEL during the period, which more than offset GEL 1.9 million reversal of provision charges at the Bank of Georgia standalone level. Consolidated Cost of Risk for the quarter stood at 0.35% a decrease from 2.44% in Q2 2010.

On 30 June 2011, the Bank’s consolidated Total Assets stood at GEL 4,123.3 million, up 20.4% y-o-y and up 3.0% from 31 December 2010. The Bank’s consolidated Net Loan Book was up by 8.8% q-o-q to GEL 2,439.9 million, up 23.1% y-o-y, while consolidated Client Deposits of GEL 2,079.4 million were 3.7% higher than at 31 December 2010, and 39.8% higher than consolidated Client Deposits on 30 June 2010. The increases in the loan book and client deposits were attributed to the growth of Bank of Georgia’s Georgian loan book (up 11.0% YTD and up 32.4% y-o-y) and client deposits (up 14.8% YTD and up 54.2% y-o-y) in 1H 2011, while the equivalent comparisons on a consolidated basis are impacted by the inclusion of BG Bank loans and deposits in the 2010 financials. In Q2 2011, the consolidated Loan Loss Reserves of GEL 122.5 million declined to 4.8% of the consolidated Gross Loan Book from 5.1% in Q1 2011, reflecting the improved operating environment in Georgia while consolidated NPLs of GEL 100.9 million declined from GEL 173.7 million in Q2 2010, up from GEL 90.8 million in Q1 2011. As of 30 June 2011, consolidated NPLs represented 3.9% of the consolidated gross Loan Book, remaining largely flat compared to the same ratio of 3.8% in Q1 2011. The consolidated NPL Coverage ratio for the quarter stood at 121.4%.

The Bank’s consolidated Book Value per Share on 30 June 2011 stood at GEL 23.97 (US$ 14.38), compared to GEL 23.52 (U.S.$ 13.79) as of 31 March 2011, GEL 22.12 (U.S$12.48) as of 31 December 2010 and GEL 20.74 (U.S.$ 11.25) as of 30 June 2010.

1H 2011 summary of the Bank’s consolidated results

The 1H 2011 results include the loss from Discontinued Operations (Extraordinary Item) of GEL 13.7 million related to the disposal of BG Bank Ukraine in Q1 2011. The accounting treatment of the one-off Extraordinary Item related to BG Bank disposal in Q1 2011 carries limited economic value for the Bank, therefore Q1 2011 consolidated results and the discussion of the results in this report exclude the Extraordinary Item.

For the discussion of results on a comparable basis please refer to the Bank of Georgia standalone results, which do not include BG Bank’s results for all the periods discussed

The Bank reported 1H 2011 consolidated Net Income10 of GEL 77.5 million. In the 1H 2011, the Bank’s Total Operating Income (Revenue) increased 22.7% y-o-y to GEL 192.8 million, driven by a 20.6% y-o-y increase in Net Interest Income to GEL 116.9 million and by 26.1% y-o-y growth of Net Non-Interest Income to GEL 76.0 million. Net Interest Income of GEL 116.9 million grew 20.6% y-o-y as Interest Income (GEL 238.4 million) growth of 19.6% achieved on the back of 23.1% y-o-y growth of the net loan book outpaced the 18.6% increase in interest expense (GEL 121.5 million, driven mostly by 39.8% y-o-y growth of the Client Deposits. In line with the increased lending and overall business activity, the Bank’s Net Non-Interest Income in 1H 2011 rose by 26.1% y-o-y to GEL 76.0 million. This was a result of the 27.5% y-o-y increase in Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 27.0 million, the 60.3% y-o-y growth Net Income from Documentary Operations to GEL 6.9 million, the 42.0% y-o-y increase in Net Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL 23.0 million, while Net Other Non-Interest Income grew by 2.8% y-o-y to GEL 19.1 million.

Reflecting the improved efficiency across the Bank’s businesses as well as the exclusion of BG Bank results from the 2011 consolidated results, the total Recurring Operating Costs of GEL 96.9 million were up by 4.4% y-o-y which, when set alongside the 22.7% y-o-y growth of the Revenue to GEL 192.8 million translates into Operating Leverage of 16.6% on a year-on-year basis.

The Bank’s Net Provision Expense declined from GEL 20.0 million in 1H 2010 to GEL 7.2 million in 1H 2011 reflecting the improved loan quality of Bank of Georgia on a standalone basis and the improved operating environment in Georgia.

Net Non-Interest Income increased by 37.0% y-o-y to GEL 51.4 million, with the increase being driven by a 22.7% y-o-y increase in Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 22.7 million, a 53.6% y-o-y increase of Net Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL 20.7 million, and a 62.6% y-o-y increase in Net Income from Documentary Operations to GEL 6.8 million.

Discussion of results

The Q2 2011 results of BNB reflect the impact of 40.1% BYR devaluation against GEL during the quarter. Q2 2011 BNB’s Total Operating Income increased to GEL 5.7 million, up 37.7% q-o-q (up 92.5% y-o-y). This was mainly driven by the 67.9% q-o-q increase in Net Non-Interest Income to GEL 2.4 million a result of the 79.6% q-o-q increase in Net Foreign Currency Related income to GEL 1.6 million, (mainly related to the devaluation of currency in Q2 2011), and 49.2% q-o-q increase in Net Fee and Commission Income to GEL 704 thousand. BNB’s Net Income from Documentary Operation grew by 3.2% q-o-q to GEL 52 thousand (up 101.7% y-o-y). BNB’s Net Interest Income increased 21.4% q-o-q to GEL 3.3 million (up 39.6% y-o-y) as Interest Income increased by 34.2% q-o-q to GEL 4.3 million and Interest Expense increased by 104.4% to GEL 1.0 million. In Q2 2011, BNB’s Recurring Costs increased 9.9% q-o-q to GEL 3.4 million.

Client Deposits amounted to GEL 36.3 million, down 2.2% q-o-q. The decline in Balance Sheet items was due to the devaluation of BYR against GEL.

Highlights

Comment:

“We are delighted to report strong Q2 2011 results that benefited from the healthy growth of the Bank’s loan book, the continued inflow of client deposits, overall growth in business activity, low cost of risk and improved efficiency. The healthy growth of nearly all Revenue items and the controlled growth of operating costs enabled us maintain strong operating leverage. The Bank’s consolidated operating leverage, one of the key metrics followed by the management, amounted to 12.5% in Q2 2011 and 16.6% in 1H 2011 on a year-on-year basis. As demand picked up from both corporate and retail clients, the loan growth accelerated in Q2, with consolidated net loan book reaching GEL 2,439.9, or 11.0% year-to-date increase, while loan yield increased from 17.4% in Q1 2011 to 17.6% in Q2 2011. The Bank’s Net Interest Margin grew to 7.3% in Q2 2011 compared to the NIM of 7.0% in Q1 2011, mostly a result of increased loan demand. Cost of risk improved on lower provisions and continued strong recovery, as net provisions charges declined to GEL 2.1 million in Q2 2011 from GEL 5.2 million in Q1 2011. In addition, the changes in the tax treatment of certain items resulted in a one-off net tax benefit of approximately GEL 5.3 million. All this translated into record high quarterly Net Income of GEL 46.9 million, increase of 53.5% q-o-q and 139.4% y-o-y.

Continued inflows of clients’ funds and the Bank’s excess liquidity during the quarter enabled us to further decrease our outstanding 2012 US$200 million Eurobonds through buy-backs. As a result, as of 30 June 2011, the Bank’s Eurobonds outstanding stood at U.S.$70.1 million”, commented Giorgi Chiladze, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Finance.
