CAIRO - Commercial International Bank (EGX: COMI) today reported second-quarter 2019 consolidated net income of EGP 2.71 billion, or EGP 1.68 per share, up 13% from second-quarter 2018.

Management commented: "Amidst an undisturbed quarter and building on its strong performance at the onset of the year, CIB continued its resilient performance in the second quarter of 2019, achieving top and bottom line of EGP 10.81 billion and EGP 5.36 billion over the first half, growing from last year by 29% and 21%, respectively, after normalizing for the EGP 760 million that was transferred from unearned interest to interest income last year. Balance sheet growth has been robust, with local currency deposits adding an impressive EGP 25 billion over the half and EGP 18 billion in the second quarter with a large concentration in CASA, which alongside Management tactics to cope with potential interest and exchange rate movements, contributed broadly to revenue growth and give a glimpse of preserving the Bank's spreads moving forward. This yet goes apace with sustaining an adequate liquidity position that would deal efficiently with market movements, which remains a key priority for Management when it comes to balance sheet dynamics. Furthermore, Egypt's constructive macroeconomic conditions, as reflected in an improvement in Balance of Payments and the accompanying EGP appreciation against USD, came to the aid of the Bank's foreign exchange trading activity, and hence its top line performance.

CIB remains well-capitalized, recording a Capital Adequacy Ratio of 25.8%, comfortably above the now-higher minimum regulatory requirement, with a significant buffer that would keep the Bank covered in light of optimistic loan growth anticipations, as well as the Bank's expansion plan in Africa, while having simultaneously a reasonable shield to accommodate any foreign exchange or interest rate movements.

Second-half 2019 encloses a somewhat high degree of ambiguity attending Egypt's economic outlook, in view of the anticipated inflationary pressure likely to accompany the energy subsidy cuts that took place at the onset of the current quarter, following a period of relative stagnation whereby CBE maintained corridor rates unchanged for close to two quarters. We remain confident, however, in CIB's ability to endure uncertainties and well-accommodate macroeconomic and regulatory developments."
