CAIRO - Commercial International Bank (EGX: COMI) today reported fourth-quarter 2020 consolidated net income of EGP 2.89 billion, or EGP 1.75 per share, down 11% from fourth-quarter 2019. Full-year 2020 consolidated net income recorded EGP 10.2 billion, or EGP 6.21 per share, down by 13% from last year.

Management commented: " Ending a year beset with unprecedented dynamics on both macroeconomic and internal fronts, CIB achieved another milestone in financial performance, while maintaining top-notch solvency. As the second wave of COVID-19 hit, and ambiguity inherent in the macroeconomic outlook and client creditworthiness persisted, Management upheld its year-long strategy of prioritizing solvency over short-term profitability, accumulating a further EGP 1.2 billion of loan loss provisions in the fourth quarter of the year. Cumulatively, loan loss provision expense for full-year 2020 recorded EGP 5.0 billion, tripling from last year. With that, CIB maintained its pioneer coverage in the Sector, with loan loss provision balance of EGP 16.4 billion, covering 12% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio, and 16% of the unsecured portion therein. This, alongside the Bank's comfortable capital position reflected in robust Capital Adequacy Ratio of 31.4%, provide further credence to its resolute solvency and coverage for both expected and unexpected credit losses.

On another note, the Bank's flexible balance sheet structure, racked-up over the years, has been pivotal to sharp performance, serving well in special light of declining interest rates and reflecting Management farsightedness and adept strategic direction. This came evident in pre-provision bottom line growing by decent 15% over last year, notwithstanding macroeconomic challenges, backed by competent balance sheet growth attained at improved margins. Distinctly, local currency balance sheet grew impressively, with deposits adding EGP 36.5 billion at controlled cost, matched by notable growth in net loan bookings by EGP 12.8 billion over the year.

Moving into 2021, Management remains confident in CIB's ability to endure any arising challenges, drawing on its resilient balance sheet fundamentals and robust solvency ."
