"I am very pleased that our third quarter performance has reinforced the strong results of the preceding two quarters of the year. This reflects a solid performance by each of our businesses. Despite the combination of a seasonally quiet quarter and the pre-election period, we experienced growing demand for credit, as reflected in the 4.8% q-o-q growth of our loan book, and have further improved our efficiency by bringing the Cost to Income ratio down by a further 1.1 percentage points to 44.4%. The effects of our recently issued Eurobond, are as expected: the Q3 2012 NIM declined to 7.3%, from 9.0% in Q2 2012 as a result of the additional interest expense. Balance sheet leverage increased to 4.5 times from 4.2 times at the end of previous quarter.

In the first nine months of 2012 we have delivered strong net profit growth of 30.9% to GEL 132.7 million on the back of double digit revenue growth, improved efficiency, as reflected in positive operating leverage, a reduced cost of funding and healthy growth rates of our loan book and deposit balances. The cost of credit risk in the third quarter of 2012 increased to GEL 14.6 million, compared to GEL 6.6 million in the preceding quarter. This increase largely reflected the impact of a number of job reductions made in a large payroll client during the first half of the year and lower level of recoveries in the third quarter. Corporate banking provisions were at a low level in the first nine months of 2012.

In September 2012, Bank of Georgia Holdings hosted its inaugural Investor Day in Tbilisi. It was gratifying for the entire Bank of Georgia management team to see the interest and enthusiasm in the Bank of Georgia story as demonstrated by the attendance of nearly fifty investors and analysts who traveled to attend our event from different parts of the world.

We have also recently announced management changes that reflect the evolving needs of our growing company. Following his success in the transformation of Aldagi BCI into the country's leading insurance and healthcare company, Nikoloz Gamkrelidze has a new important role to play in the further development of the group in his new role of Group CFO. Murtaz Kikoria, a seasoned banker and manager who has spent 4 years with the Bank of Georgia group, brings invaluable experience as the new CEO of Aldagi BCI in its next stage of development.

The macroeconomic environment in Georgia remained robust with GDP growth reaching 7.5% in the first half of 2012. Foreign direct investment (FDI) and net remittances have remained strong, and Georgia continues to benefit from a substantial increase in tourist revenues, with visitor numbers increasing by 56% in the first nine months of the year to 3.2 million.

Following the parliamentary elections in early October, Georgia is currently in the process of what has been a smooth transition to a new Government. This has not changed the business priorities and strategies of Bank of Georgia and business trends in October have been consistent with our year-to-date performance.

With the parliamentary elections behind us, an enhanced management team and strong business fundamentals in place we look to continuing to deliver value to our shareholders," commented Irakli Gilauri, Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Georgia Holdings PLC and JSC Bank of Georgia.

The Bank's revenue increased to GEL 370.0 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2012, or 16.2% growth year-on-year, driven by strong growth of all revenue items. Net interest income for the period reached GEL 207.7 million, a 15.8% increase year-on-year, despite net losses of GEL 1.5 million from derivative financial instruments that compare to the net gains from derivative financial instruments of GEL 5.1 million during the same period last year. Net interest income before net gains from financial instruments grew 20.1% to GEL 209.1 million, as interest expense growth of 9.3% y-o-y significantly lagged behind the 14.4% y-o-y growth of interest income, which was driven by strong customer lending growth during the period.

The 16.8% y-o-y growth in net non-interest income¹² to GEL 162.4 million, mostly benefited from the increases in net insurance revenue by GEL 7.7 million to GEL 21.9 million, net healthcare revenue by GEL 15.1 million to GEL 16.2 million, and net fee and commission income from GEL 53.2 million to GEL 65.4 million. Net non-interest income accounted for 43.9% of revenue, compared to 43.7% last year. Adjusted for the impact of last year's one-off currency (Belarusian Ruble) hedge gains, total revenue increased by 24.3% y-o-y.

¹²Net non-interest income equals sum of net fee and commission income, net insurance revenue, net healthcare revenue, net gains from securities, net gains from foreign currencies and other operating income

¹³Monthly averages are used for calculation of average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities

The slight decline in Net Interest Margin over the last twelve months, was attributable to the carrying cost of the Bank's US$ 250 million Eurobond issued in Q3 2012, which more than offset the effects of decreased deposit rates in the first half of the year and a slight increase in loan yield from 17.5% in the nine months 2011 to 17.6% in the nine months to 2012. The 16.9% y-o-y growth of average interest earning assets to GEL 3,534.9 was attributed to a 19.6% y-o-y increase in the net loan book and the increase in the lower-yielding liquid assets as a result of the Eurobond that have not yet been deployed to support customer lending.

In the nine months of 2012 the Bank's cost of funding decreased to 7.5% from 7.8% in the same period last year, the decline reflecting a significant reduction in the cost of deposits in the second quarter of 2012.

The currency-blended deposit costs of the Bank were 7.5% and 7.3% in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 respectively, while the currency-blended loan yields totalled 17.6% and 17.5% during the respective periods.

Net fee and commission income

Fee and commission expense	15,886	14,118	12.5%
Net fee and commission income	65,365	53,235	22.8%

Strong growth of the Bank's fee and commission income, in line with increased business activity, drove the 22.8% y-o-y increase in net fee and commission income to GEL 65.4 million. This increase was driven by healthy growth in the Bank's settlement operations, the Bank's card business, guarantees and letters of credit, and cash operations businesses that benefited from the overall improvement of the economic environment in Georgia and the increased foreign trade turnover of Georgian businesses.

Net insurance revenue and net healthcare revenue

Net healthcare revenue	16,221	1,146	NMF

Net insurance revenue increased by GEL 7.7 million, or 54.5% to GEL 21.9 million, with the organic growth of Aldagi BCI supported by the acquisition of Georgia's third largest insurance company, Imedi L International (Imedi L). Net insurance revenue growth was driven by 66.9% y-o-y growth in net insurance premiums earned to GEL 58.2 million. The growth in net insurance premiums earned was due to an increase in the size of the insurance policies portfolio which reflected overall growth in both the life and non-life insurance businesses. The growth also reflects the inclusion of Imedi L results for Q3 2012. The increase in net insurance claims incurred mostly reflected the acquisition of Imedi L.

The growth of the healthcare business, following the expansion of the healthcare operations by Aldagi BCI as a result of recent acquisitions, resulted in net healthcare revenue of GEL 16.2 million in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 14 times from the same period last year. The integration of the business was completed in July 2012, while legal integration is expected to be completed by the year-end 2012.

Other operating non-interest income, adjusted for one-off gains from the BYR currency hedge, in the first nine months of 2012 grew 18.2% to GEL 58.9 million, reflecting the growth of foreign currency translation differences, net gains from securities and an increase in other operating income, predominantly due to growth from income from the Bank's non-core subsidiaries. Affordable Housing contributed GEL 3.0 million gross profit to the other operating income in Q3 2012. Overall, other operating non-interest income declined by 16.5% y-o-y, due to the one-off gain of GEL 20.7 million on the BYR currency hedge in 2011.

The Bank's other operating non-interest expenses increased by GEL 10.9 million, or 7.0% y-o-y, to GEL 167.2 million. This is less than half the rate of revenue growth over the same period and reflects the Bank's focus on delivering positive operating leverage on an ongoing basis. Adjusted for the one-off currency hedge gain in 2011, operating leverage was 17.3 percentage points. The increase in expenses primarily reflected a 4.5% increase in salaries and other employee benefits as the Bank's headcount increased to reflect the growth of Bank of Georgia's and its subsidiaries' businesses over the last twelve months. Selling and administrative expenses for the reporting period grew by 13.1% to GEL 51.8 million, reflecting new branch openings and sales force increases. The Cost to Income ratio improved to 45.2% in the nine months ended 30 September 2012, from 49.1% in the same period last year, benefiting from ongoing cost efficiency measures undertaken by the Bank. When adjusted for the one-off revenue gains in 2011, the Cost to Income ratio improved substantially from 52.5% in the first nine months of 2011, reflecting underlying significant cost efficiency improvements.

The Bank's operating income before the cost of credit risk increased by GEL 40.8 million, or 25.2%, to GEL 202.8 million.

The cost of credit risk increased by GEL 15.2 million to GEL 28.6 million in the first nine months of 2012, largely reflecting the absence of last year's releases and recoveries and higher retail provision in the third quarter, reflecting a number of job reductions made in a large payroll client during the first half of the year. This represents an annualised cost of risk of 1.2%, up from 0.9% in the same period last year. The allowance for loan impairment was GEL 108.1 million or 3.4% of total gross loans as of 30 September 2012, compared to 4.6% as of 30 September 2011.

The Bank's non-performing loans (NPLs), defined as the principal and interest on loans overdue for more than 90 days and additional potential losses estimated by management, decreased to GEL 102.7 million as of 30 September 2012 from GEL 108.9 million a year earlier. The Bank's NPLs to total gross loans ratio improved to 3.2% as of 30 September 2012 from 4.1% a year ago. The Bank maintained a conservative NPL Coverage ratio at 105.2%, which compares to 112.2% as of 30 September 2011 and 114.7% as of 31 December 2011.

The Bank's net operating income totalled GEL 174.2 million, up GEL 25.6 million, or 17.2% year-on-year. Adjusted for the one-off gain in 2011, the net operating income in the first nine- months of 2012 was up 36.2% y-o-y. In the first nine months of 2012, the Bank's net non-operating expense declined to GEL 15.4 million from GEL 19.6 million in the first nine months of 2011. The non-operating expenses in the first nine months of 2012 were largely incurred for the purposes of tender offer and premium listing.

As a result of the foregoing, profit before income tax from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2012 totalled GEL 158.7 million, an increase of GEL 29.8 million, or 23.1% y-o-y. After income tax expense of GEL 26.1 million, the Bank's profit for the period stood at GEL 132.7 million, up by GEL 19.1 million, or 16.8% compared to the same period last year, while profit for the period adjusted for the net loss from discontinued operations in 2011, grew 30.9% y-o-y, or by GEL 31.3 million.

Balance Sheet highlights

As of 30 September 2012, the Bank's total assets stood at GEL 5,530.5 million, an increase of 18.5% since 31 December 2011 and an increase of 26.9% compared to 30 September 2011. Total liabilities amounted to GEL 4,522.6 million, up 17.4% year-to-date and 26.2% y-o-y, while shareholders' equity reached GEL 1,007.9 million, a 24.0% increase since the beginning of the year and 29.9% increase from the same period last year. The year-to-date changes reflect 19.6% y-o-y growth of the Bank's loan book and the changes in the funding structure on the back of strong growth of client deposits that grew 24.4% y-o-y. As of 30 September 2012, customer funds accounted for 61.8% of the Bank's total liabilities.

On a quarterly basis, the Bank's total assets growth of 12.1% q-o-q was largely driven by the 4.8% q-o-q increase of the loan book to GEL 3,063.4 million and the 35.2% increase in liquid assets as a result of the US$250 million Eurobond that was issued by the Bank in the beginning of Q3 2012. Both retail banking and corporate banking contributed to the net loan book growth. Retail banking lending increased by GEL 157.6 million, or 13.6%, over the last twelve months to GEL 1,317.5 million by 30 September 2012 and corporate banking lending grew by GEL 322.4 million, or 23.3% year-on-year, to GEL 1,709.1 million. Loans denominated in foreign currencies (primarily in US$) accounted for 68.8% of the Bank's net loan book as of 30 September 2012, compared to 68.9% as of 30 September 2011 and to 67.9% as of 30 June 2012.

The Bank's liquid assets, mostly comprised of cash and cash equivalents, National Bank CDs, Georgian government treasury bills and bonds and interbank deposits, grew by 33.4% y-o-y to GEL 1,530.8 million as of 30 September 2012. The growth was largely driven by the GEL 398.3 million, or 35.2%, increase in liquid assets during Q3 2012, attributed to the Eurobonds issued by the Bank.

The customer lending growth was sufficiently funded by a GEL 527.4 million growth of client deposits on a year-on-year basis. Compared to the prior quarter, client deposits decreased by 2.0% to GEL 2,688.5 million, reflecting more aggressive liability management after the Eurobond issuance. Since the beginning of the year client deposits are up 5.3% and client funds, comprising client deposits and promissory notes, reached GEL 2,795.8 million, an increase of 2.2% year-to-date.

In line with its efforts to improve its funding costs, the pricing of the Eurobond issued by the Bank enabled it to partially repay more expensive outstanding debt, thus decreasing Cost of Funding from 7.5% in Q2 2012 to 7.1% in Q3 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, the Cost of Funding decreased to 7.5%, from 7.8% for the same period last year. As a result of the Eurobond placement, amounts due to credit institutions grew to GEL 1,454.0 million from GEL 1,099.7 million as of 30 September 2011 and from GEL 875.9 million as of 30 June 2012.

As a result of the foregoing, in Q3 2012 the Bank's Net Loans to Customer Funds ratio increased to 109.6% from 102.7% in Q2 2012 and was down from 110.2% in Q3 2011, reflecting the increased levels of customer account balances during the year. Client deposits denominated in foreign currencies accounted for 70.0% of the Bank's client deposits as of 30 September 2012, compared to 66.1% as of 30 September 2011.

The growth in shareholders' equity over the last twelve months predominantly reflects the inclusion of the current year's profit and the conversion of loan notes by EBRD and IFC into shareholders' equity in February 2012.

The Bank continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, considerably in excess of conservative regulatory requirements. The liquidity ratio, as per NBG requirements, stood at 42.0% against the required minimum of 30%, while liquid assets accounted to 27.7% of total assets and 33.8% of total liabilities as of the end of September 2012.

The Bank's Book Value per share on 30 September 2012 stood at GEL 28.81/(US$17.36/GBP10.72) compared to GEL 25.16 (US$15.15/GBP9.68) as of 30 September 2011 and GEL 25.98 (US$15.56/GBP10.08) as of 31 December 2011.

The Bank's Q3 2012 revenue of GEL 131.0 million grew 1.4% q-o-q and 24.9% y-o-y. On a year-on-year basis, the growth was driven by a 10.3% increase in net interest income and healthy growth in non-interest income items, strongly benefiting from 23.7% y-o-y increase in net fee and commission income, 95.9% rise in net insurance revenue and the strong net healthcare revenue growth from GEL 0.2 million in Q3 2011 to GEL 7.0 million in Q3 2012. In Q3 2012, net interest income before net gains from derivative financial instruments grew by 15.8% compared to Q3 2011, when net gains from derivative financial instruments amounted to GEL 2.6 million compared to net losses of GEL 0.5 million in Q3 2012. The growth of net interest income reflects the strong growth of interest income on the back of customer lending growth and the slower growth rate of interest expense, reflecting the reduced cost of funding over the past twelve months.

On a quarterly basis, the Bank's revenue growth was affected by the carrying cost of the Eurobond issued in Q3 2012 that raised the interest expense on amounts due to credit institutions by 40.2% q-o-q, more than offsetting the 1.6% q-o-q growth of interest income, resulting in the 8.6% decline of net interest income to GEL 69.9 million. The strong performance of our insurance and healthcare business largely drove the increase in revenue in Q3 2012 compared to the prior quarter.

The Q3 2012 Net Interest Margin was largely affected by the carrying cost of the US$250 million Eurobond, which led to the decline of NIM to 7.3% in Q3 2012 from 9.0% in Q2 2012, when the NIM peaked as a result of substantial deposit rate cuts and increased loan yields. The q-o-q decline of NIM also reflects the 19.1% q-o-q growth rate of average interest bearing liabilities outpacing the 11.5% q-o-q growth of average interest earning assets. Compared to the same period in 2011, NIM declined 63 basis points from 7.9%, reflecting the higher interest expense in Q3 2012 and 26.6% y-o-y increase of average interest bearing liabilities compared to a 20.3% y-o-y increase of average interest earning assets. In Q3 2012, the loan yield amounted to 17.0%, compared to 17.2% in Q3 2011 and 18.0% in Q2 2012, which benefited from strong loan origination commission income generated on a number of corporate loans in the first half of the year.

The net insurance and healthcare business posted strong results in Q3 2012, with net insurance revenue of GEL 9.9 million for the quarter increasing by 95.9% y-o-y and by 36.2% q-o-q. Reflecting the growth of the healthcare business, largely attributed to benefits from the integration from the recently acquired Imedi L, Q3 2012 net healthcare revenue grew 59.0% q-o-q to GEL 7.1 million, driven by 30.1% q-o-q growth of healthcare revenue and 12.5% decline in costs of associated with salaries and other employee benefits.

On a year-on-year basis, in Q3 2012 the Bank maintained positive operating leverage as operating non-interest expenses grew at 10.1%, or less than a half the rate of the revenue growth over the same period, driving the operating income before the cost of credit risk growth of 39.8% y-o-y to GEL 72.9 million. Benefiting from the 1.1% decline in operating expenses quarter-on-quarter, the Q3 2012 operating income before cost of credit risk grew by 3.5% q-o-q, reflecting the lower quarterly growth rates of revenue as a result of the negative carry cost of Eurobonds during the quarter, as discussed above.

The cost of credit risk increased to GEL 14.6 million, up from GEL 5.2 million in Q3 2011 and GEL 6.6 million in Q2 2012, reflecting the decline in reversals and recoveries that are characteristic to summer months as well as the pre-election considerations. The increase in provisions during the quarter was also associated with consumer and credit card lending.

As a result of the foregoing, in Q3 2012, the Bank's net operating income totalled GEL 58.2 million, up GEL 11.3 million, or 24.0% year-on-year. The Bank's net non-operating expenses for the period declined to GEL 3.1 million from GEL 8.0 million in Q2 2012, and included the write-offs of certain overhead project costs associated with IT related projects. Profit before income tax from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2012 therefore totalled GEL 55.2 million, an increase of GEL 9.1 million, or 19.9%. After income tax expense of GEL 8.5 million, the Bank's Q3 2012 profit for the period stood at GEL 46.6 million, compared to GEL 37.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 and GEL 46.3 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Retail banking provides consumer loans, mortgage loans, overdrafts, credit card facilities and other credit facilities as well as funds transfer and settlement services and handling customer deposits for both individuals and legal entities, encompassing the mass affluent segment, retail mass markets, SME and micro businesses.

In the first nine months of 2012 retail banking revenue grew 18.1% y-o-y to GEL 182.4 million, with growth driven by a 19.8% increase in net interest income to GEL 126.7 million reflecting the strong growth of the retail net loan book by GEL 157.6 million, or 13.6% y-o-y, to GEL 1,317.5 million as of 30 September 2012 and a reduction in the cost of deposits from 6.7% in the nine months of 2011 to 6.2% in the nine months of 2012. Net fees and commission income increased 9.1% y-o-y to GEL 39.2 million, benefiting from the growth of the Bank's card operations, while net gains from foreign currencies were up 14.9% y-o-y to GEL 11.0 million.

The strong performance of retail banking revenue and the modest growth of retail banking expenses (up 1.4% y-o-y) resulted in a 36.6% y-o-y growth in operating income before cost of credit risk during the period. Retail banking profit before income tax expense amounted to GEL 72.0 million, a decrease of 11.2% y-o-y. The decrease was largely due to a cost of credit risk of GEL 23.3 million, reflecting the impact of a number of job reductions by a large payroll client in the first half of the year . The growth of retail banking cost of risk was attributed to the consumer and credit card portfolio, while this year's retail non-operating expenses grew as a result of the allocation of BGH IPO costs to business segments.

Deposits from retail clients increased by GEL 59.2 million, or 8.6% y-o-y, to GEL 745.1 million as of 30 September 2012. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, deposits from retail clients grew by 1.4%, despite interest rate reductions that led to the decrease in the cost of retail deposits from 6.2% in Q2 2012 to 5.9% in Q3 2012. The cost of retail deposits has decreased by 33 basis points since 30 September 2011.

Corporate banking business in Georgia comprises of loans and other credit facilities to the country's large corporate clients as well as other legal entities, excluding SME and micro businesses. The services include fund transfers and settlements

services, currency conversion operations, trade finance services and documentary operations as well as handling savings and term deposits for corporate and institutional customers. Corporate banking business also includes finance lease facility provided by the Bank's leasing operations (Georgian Leasing Company).

The 11.4% y-o-y growth of corporate banking revenue in the nine months of 2012 was driven by a 4.7% y-o-y growth in net interest income to GEL 61.5 million and strong growth of net fees and commission income, up by 63.8% y-o-y to GEL 23.3 million, in line with the Bank's focus on further developing its fee generating business for corporate clients. Net gains from foreign currencies rose to GEL 23.5 million, or 13.4% y-o-y, reflecting the increase in volumes of foreign currency conversions by the Bank's corporate clients. Further improvements in operating efficiency resulted in a 2.1% decline in corporate banking operating costs to GEL 38.9 million, translating into an improved corporate banking Cost to Income ratio of 33.8%, down from 38.5% in the first nine months of 2011.

The improved credit quality of corporate clients and higher provision reversals and recoveries during the period, resulted in a significant decline of the corporate banking cost of credit risk to GEL 3.0 million in the nine months of 2012, from GEL 19.7 million in the same period last year, reflecting the improving credit quality of the Bank's corporate clients.

As a result, corporate banking posted profit before income tax expense of GEL 67.0 million, an increase of 41.9% from the same period last year.

Corporate banking net loans increased by GEL 322.4 million, or 23.3% y-o-y, to GEL 1,709.1 million during the period, while corporate banking client deposits increased by 19.3% y-o-y to GEL 1,327.0 million.

Highlights

The increase in corporate banking deposit cost is attributed to the strong inflow of costly GEL denominated deposits in Q4 2011 and Q1 2012. The subsequent reduction of the deposit rates have been partially reflected in Q3 2012 corporate banking deposit costs, which came down from 8.3% in Q1 2012 to 7.3% in Q2 2012 and 6.8% in Q3 2012.
