Bank of Georgia (LSE:BGEO)(GSE:GEB) (the â€œBankâ€), Georgiaâ€™s leading bank, announced today its Q2 2010 and 1H 2010 consolidated results (IFRS based, derived from management accounts), reporting a Q2 2010 Net Income of GEL 19.5 million and 1H 2010 Net Income of GEL 36.2 million.

Q2 2010 highlights

Consolidated Net Normalized Operating Income (NNOI) increased 18.1% q-o-q to GEL 35.0 million, up 2.1% y-o-y and Consolidated Profit Before Provisions increased 39.8% q-o-q to GEL 36.8 million, up 8.5% y-o-y
Net Interest Margin (NIM) improved from 8.0% in Q1 2010 to 8.3% in Q2 2010 as Cost of Funds declined from 8.6% in Q1 2010 to 8.3% in Q2 2010, as a result of decline in the Interest expense growth rate due to interest rate cuts on deposits
Positive consolidated operating leverage achieved as Revenue grew 9.1% q-o-q and Total Recurring Operating Cost lagged at 3.3% q-o-q growth. As a result, consolidated Cost/Income ratio declined to 55.5% in Q2 2010 from 65.3% in Q1 2010
Positive standalone operating leverage in Q2 2010 reached 8.4% q-o-q and Standalone Cost/Income ratio declined to 49.9% in Q2 2010 from 53.9% in Q1 2010
Consolidated gross loan portfolio grew 10.9% q-o-q to GEL 2,163.3 million, up 17.2% YTD and up 14.0% y-o-y
Consolidated Client Deposits grew 7.5% q-o-q to GEL 1,498.5 million, up 17.8% YTD and up 46.2% y-o-y
Extended approximately GEL 501.1 million, (up 149.4% y-o-y and up 40.5% q-o-q), in new loans to an estimated 21,500 clients (through credit cards, mortgages, consumer and other loans) and to small-and-medium sized companies and corporate clients
Bank of Georgia standalone NPLs declined 5.6% q-o-q to GEL 129.2 million, while BG Bankâ€™ (Ukraine) NPLs grew 45.6% q-o-q to GEL 41.9 million. Consolidated NPL coverage ratio stood at 109.3% in Q2 2010 compared to 102.6% in Q1 2010
The Balance Sheet growth since the beginning of the year in 1H 2010 resulted in 2.1% market share gain by assets, 1.1% market share gain by gross loans and 2.5% market share gain by client deposits⁷.

â€œBankâ€™s Q2 2010 results reflect the solid balance sheet growth during the quarter. Bankâ€™s loan portfolio grew by 10.9%, while Client Deposits grew by 7.5% on quarterly basis. Consequently, the Interest Income grew by 9.6% during the quarter. At the same time Interest Expense growth rate was significantly lower at 5.4% q-o-q. The q-o-q growth rate of Interest Expense slowed down because of interest rate cuts on deposits during the past nine months, which led to the decrease of Cost of Funds from 8.6% in Q1 2010 to 8.3% in Q2 2010. This also contributed to the improvement of NIM from 8.0% in Q1 2010 to 8.3% in Q2 2010 and a 9.1% quarterly growth of consolidated Revenue to GEL 82.8 million. The Recurring Operating Cost grew by only 3.3% q-o-q, despite the headcount increase and 9.7% growth in personnel costs, resulting in the positive operating leverage for the quarter. This translated into 18.1% q-o-q growth on NNOI to GEL 35.0 million, and to 16.3% q-o-q growth of consolidated Net Income to GEL 19.5 million. Last but not least, the Bankâ€™s consolidated ROAE increased to 12.5% in Q2 from 11.1% in Q1 2010â€, commented Giorgi Chiladze, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Finance.

Q2 2010 summary of the Bankâ€™s consolidated results

In Q2 2010 the Bankâ€™s Total Operating Income (Revenue) increased 9.1% q-o-q to GEL 82.8 million, (up 2.7% y-o-y), due to 14.2% q-o-q growth of Net Interest Income to GEL 51.7 million (up 4.5% y-o-y), and 1.6% q-o-q growth of Net Non-Interest Income to GEL 31.1 million (down 0.1% y-o-y). The Net Interest Income growth rate was driven by the 9.6% q-o-q growth of Interest Income (GEL 104.1 million), which more than offset the 5.4% q-o-q increase in Interest Expense (GEL 52.4 million) that was affected by several rounds of deposit rate cuts in Georgia during previous quarters. NIM of 8.3% for the quarter strengthened compared to the NIM of 8.0% in Q1 2010. On a year-on-year basis, Interest Income grew by 10.1%, while Interest Expense increased by 16.3% y-o-y in Q2 2010 compared to Q2 2009, when the Bankâ€™s Client Deposits were down by 46.2% from the current level. In Q2 2010 The Bankâ€™s Net Non-Interest Income remained essentially flat compared to the same period last year and grew 1.6% to GEL 31.1 million compared to Q1 2010. The quarterly growth of Net Non-Interest Income in Q2 2010 was largely driven by the 20.5% q-o-q growth of Net Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL 8.8 million, a result of high FX volumes during the quarter and the 5.2% q-o-q growth of Net Fee and Commission Income to GEL 10.9 million, in line with the increased lending activity. Net Other Non-Interest Income decreased by 14.3% q-o-q, a result of the decline in Net Investment Gains by GEL 1.8 million in Q2 2010. The Bankâ€™s insurance operations grew during the quarter, posting Net Insurance Income of GEL 4.2 million, up 1.0% q-o-q.

Total Consolidated Recurring Operating Costs for the quarter increased by 3.3% q-o-q to GEL 47.8 million, (up 3.2% y-o-y), a result of 9.7% q-o-q increase in Personnel Costs due to the increase in headcount and 3.2% q-o-q decline in non-personnel expenses. NNOI for the quarter increased 18.1% q-o-q to GEL 35.0 million, while Cost/Income ratio decreased to 55.5% in Q2 2010 from 65.3% in Q1 2010.

The Bankâ€™s Consolidated Net Provision Expense for the quarter was GEL 13.1 million, up from Net Provision Expense of GEL 7.4 million in Q1 2010, with the increase largely attributed to the devaluation effect of Lari against US$ of GEL 5.0 million and the Georgian loan book growth effect of GEL 3.9 million. The increase of Net Provision Expense of BG Bank by GEL 3.5 million q-o-q to GEL 2.0 million also contributed to the increase of Consolidated Net Provision Expense during the quarter. Bank of Georgiaâ€™s Q2 2010 standalone Net Provision Expense of GEL 6.2 million declined 49.8% q-o-q due to the loan repayments by subsidiaries. Cost of Risk for the quarter grew to 2.5% from 1.6% in Q1 2010, respectively.

In the 1H 2010, the Bankâ€™s Total Operating Income (Revenue) decreased 2.2% y-o-y to GEL 158.6 million, largely attributable to 4.9% y-o-y decrease in Net Interest Income to GEL 96.9 million. The decline is a result of lower average loan book in 1H 2010 compared to the average loan book in 1H 2009, higher average client deposits in 1H 2010 compared to the average client deposits in 1H 2009 and higher liquidity level in 1H 2010.

JSC Bank of Georgia (Standalone) results

Bank of Georgia on a standalone basis reported Q2 2010 Net Income of GEL 24.0 million, which compares to the Standalone Net Income of GEL 12.8 million in Q1 2010 and GEL 0.9 million in Q2 2009. The increase in Net Income for the quarter reflects the healthy growth of the Bankâ€™s standalone Revenue and the decline in standalone Net Provision Expenses both on a quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year basis.

In Q2 2010, Total Operating Income amounted to GEL 68.7 million, up 15.7 % q-o-q (up 10.3% y-o-y). Net Interest Income grew 12.5% q-o-q to GEL 47.9 million, driven by 9.3 % q-o-q increase of Interest Income to GEL 95.6 million, outpacing the 6.2 % q-o-q growth of Interest Expense to GEL 47.6 million. Interest Income growth during the quarter was driven by the healthy loan book growth of the past two quarters, while interest expense growth rate slowed down compared to the previous quarters, benefiting from the interest rate cuts on deposits in Georgia. On a year-on-year basis, the 5.4% increase of Net Interest Income was predominantly related to the increase in loan book since the beginning of 2010. In Q2 2010 Net Non-Interest Income amounted to GEL 20.8 million, up 23.9% q-o-q and up 23.6 % y-o-y, with the growth mainly attributed to the 39.3 % q-o-q increase of the Net Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL 7.8 million and the 18.2% q-o-q growth of Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 10.0 million, a result of increased FX income due to increase in volumes and increase in lending activity, respectively. On a standalone basis, Bank of Georgiaâ€™s Total Recurring Operating Costs increased 5.6 % q-o-q to GEL 32.5 million (up 9.4 % y-o-y), mostly due to the increase of the Personnel Costs driven by the headcount increase to GEL 17.2 million up 11.3% q-o-q (up 16.1% y-o-y), which more than offset a 0.2% q-o-q decrease of non-personnel costs on a standalone basis to GEL 15.3 million. On a standalone basis, Bank of Georgia achieved positive operating leverage of 8.4% on a consecutive q-o-q basis and 1.8% on a y-o-y basis.

The Bankâ€™s Net Provision Expense on a standalone basis declined from GEL 12.3 million in Q1 2010 to GEL 6.2 million in Q1 2010. Net Provision Expense was attributed mostly to the Bankâ€™s Retail Banking loans.

Bank of Georgiaâ€™s 1H 2010 standalone Total Operating Income on a standalone basis stood at GEL 128.1 million, almost flat compared to the Total Operating Income of GEL 128.9 million in 1H 2009. In 1H 2010 Interest Income (GEL 183.0 million) grew 3.7% y-o-y, compared to the 14.6% y-o-y growth rate of Interest Expense (GEL 92.5 million), as the Bankâ€™s average loan book was lower in 1H 2010 compared to 1H 2009, and the Bank maintained higher average client deposits and higher liquidity in 1H 2010 compared the same period last year. As a result, Net Interest Income in the 1H 2010 declined by 5.5% y-o-y to GEL 90.5 million. Net Non-Interest Income increased by 13.5% y-o-y to GEL 37.5 million, with the increase driven by 12.4% y-o-y increase of Net Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL 13.5 million and 14.2% y-o-y increase in Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 18.5 million. Net Income from Documentary Operations reached GEL 4.2 million, up 4.7% y-o-y. The Total Recurring Cost of Bank of Georgia on a standalone basis increased by 8.1% y-o-y, driven by a 10.7% increase of Personnel Costs on a y-o-y basis, a result of increased headcount in line with the increase in lending activity during the period. Net Provision Expense in 1H 2010 reached GEL 18.5 million, compared to GEL 53.6 million Net Provision Expense in the 1H 2009, resulting in 1H 2010 Standalone Net Income of GEL 36.8 million, up 201.9% y-o-y.

As of 30 June 2010, Bank of Georgiaâ€™s Total Assets on a standalone basis stood at GEL 3.4 billion, up 11.5 % q-o-q, up 25.9% y-o-y and up 19.0% YTD. Gross loans increased 7.9 % q-o-q (up 15.5 % y-o-y and up 14.3% YTD) to GEL 2.0 billion driven by 7.0 % q-o-q increase of the corporate gross loan book to GEL 1,017.4 million and 9.8% q-o-q growth of retail gross book to GEL 929.6 million. NPLs stood at GEL 129.2 million and represented 6.5 % of the total gross loan book, a decrease from the same ratio of 7.4 % in Q1 2010, when the NPLs amounted to GEL 136.8 million on a standalone basis.

In Q2 2010, the Bankâ€™s Client Deposits in Georgia stood at GEL 1,346.6 million as compared to GEL 1,251.5 million in Q1 2010, GEL 1,126.8 million as of 31 December 2009 and GEL 909.3 million as of 30 June 2009. The growth of Client Deposits during the period was mostly driven by the increase of Wealth Management client deposits that reached GEL 212.3 million as of 30 June 2010, up 96.9 % y-o-y, up 17.5 % q-o-q and up 30.2% YTD.

- The analysis of key business processes against T24 model bank functionality has been completed and keyÂ gaps have been identified;
- Initial analysis of the main interfaces undertaken to scope the integration efforts for implementation of T24 core system

However, due unsatisfactory and slow progress on subsequent phases of the project, Bank of Georgia has suspended its relationship with Temenos interation partner Foranx and is now in direct commercial and legal negotiation with Temenos with respect to the next steps. The project is currently on hold pending the completion of these discussions.

Discussion of results

RB Revenues increased 13.3 % q-o-q (down 6.6% y-o-y) to GEL 37.2 million, a result of the growth of all RB revenue items in Q2 2010.
