Starting from 1 January 2023, Halyk Group's financial statements have been transited to IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" from IFRS 4, which resulted in recalculation of certain P&L items for 9M 2022 and 3Q 2022. All of the ratios were also recalculated accordingly. For more detailed information please refer to Halyk Group's financial statements for 3Q 2023, note #4.

 

Net profit attributable to common shareholders to KZT 172.1bn in 3Q 2023, up 37.7% compared with KZT 125.0bn in 3Q 2022 mainly due to significant increase in lending and transactional businesses.

 

Interest income for 3Q 2023 increased by 26.8% vs. 3Q 2022 mainly due to increase in average rate and balances of loans to customers. Interest expense for 3Q 2023 increased by 35.1% vs. 3Q 2022 mainly as a result of the growth in average rate and share of KZT amounts due to customers. Consequently, net interest income for 3Q 2023 grew by 19.7% vs. 3Q 2022.

 

In 3Q 2023, net interest margin was affected by the increase in average rates on both loans to customers and amounts due to customers following the significant increase in interest rates. Furthermore, the share of loans to customers in total interest-earning assets increased substantially. Moreover, there was an increase in the average rate of FX amounts due from credit institutions and FX interest-earning cash and cash equivalents following the global increase of USD interest rates. As a result, net interest margin increased to 6.8% p.a. for 3Q 2023 compared to 5.8% p.a. for 3Q 2022.

 

The cost of risk on loans to customers for 3Q 2023 increased to 1.6% compared to 1.4% in 3Q 2022 due to recognition of additional provisions on some corporate loans.

 

In 3Q 2023 compared to 3Q 2022, the overall dynamics of fee and commission income and expense was driven by the increased clients' transactional activity. Net fee and commission income for 3Q 2023 increased by 24.7% vs. 3Q 2022 due to increase in net transactional income of legal entities and individuals (8).

 

Other non-interest income (9) increased by 27.9% for 3Q 2023 vs. 3Q 2022 mainly due to higher net gain from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and net gain on foreign exchange operations amid higher volatility of interest rates in 3Q 2022, which resulted in negative revaluation on derivative financial instruments.

 

Net insurance income (10) for 3Q 2023 improved by 79.7% year-on-year, due to overall business growth and as a result of recognition of insurance reserve expenses on unsecured consumer loans with a borrower's life insurance bundle in 3Q 2022.

 

Operating expenses for 3Q 2023 increased by 10.5% vs. 3Q 2022 mainly due to the indexation of salaries and other employee benefits starting from March 1, 2023

 

The cost-to-income ratio equalled 18.0% in 3Q 2023, compared with 20.8% in 3Q 2022 due to higher operating income for 3Q 2023.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(8)      Transactional income of individuals, less transactional expenses of individuals and less loyalty program bonuses;

(9)      Other non-interest income (net gain on foreign exchange operations, net gain from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, net realised loss from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, share in profit of associate, income on non-banking activities and other income);

(10)   Insurance underwriting income less insurance claims incurred and net income/(expenses) from reinsurance contracts held.
