Letter from the Chief Executive Officer

"I am delighted to present another strong set of financial results for the third quarter of 2016 and to comment on recent economic developments as well as our recent acquisition of Bank Republic. The merger creates the largest bank in Georgia in terms of all key metrics, including total assets, total loans and total deposits, with market shares of 35.1%, 37.2% and 35.5% respectively as of 30 September 2016. It also strengthens our position across all strategic segments, including retail as well as affluent customers. We have actively started the integration process and we plan to complete the merger in the third quarter of 2017. Our main focus in the coming year would be to fully utilize the synergies and cross-selling opportunities as well as to further develop the relationship with our new and existing clients.

Over the first nine months of this year, the economy grew by an estimated 2.6%. The growth rate in the third quarter was 2.2%, slightly lower than in the previous quarters. Additionally, in September, we experienced another stable election process, with the ruling party remaining in office. This will allow consistency in the government policy. In parallel, analysts report positive growth for next year - the International Monetary Fund has recently revised upwards its outlook for 2017 to 5.2%, the highest in the region.

Inflation has continued to decline, with an annualized rate of 0.9% in 3Q. The National Bank of Georgia has further reduced the monetary policy rate over the last quarter by 0.5% to 6.5% and it has announced an additional cut by 0.5pp over the coming two quarters. This policy should strengthen the credit growth and create opportunities for the partial de-dollarization of the loan portfolio.  The number of visitors continues to increase, confirming tourism as one Georgia's fast-growing sectors - in the third quarter it grew by 21% year-on-year. Remittances also demonstrated robust growth and increased by 16% year-on-year over the same period. We also observed a positive trend in exports of goods, which expanded by 8.3% year-on-year in September, mainly driven by exports to EU countries.

In terms of our financial results, I am very pleased to report that we continue to deliver robust profitability and returns. In the third quarter our Return on Equity was 20.6%, compared with 18.2% in 3Q 2015. Return on Assets stood at 4.0%, compared to 3.1% in the same period of last year.  Net income was GEL 71.0 million, up by 40.3% from the third quarter of 2015. This was supported by strong interest income, with the net interest margin at 8.3% up by 0.4 pp year-on-year and up by 0.3 pp quarter on quarter. Our performance on cost continues to be consistent with our guidance, with a cost to income ratio at 40.5% versus 43.3% a year ago.

During the last quarter our loan book grew by 9.7% year over year, outperforming the total market growth by 4.1% and reaching a market share of 29.7%. Year-on-year growth was mainly supported by an expansion in the retail segment. In the third quarter our deposit portfolio grew by 7.2% primarily due to an increase in the retail portfolio and our market share stood at 30.6% as of 30 September 2016.

Our Non-Performing Loan Ratio improved by 0.1pp quarter-on-quarter and stood at 4.6% as of 30 September 2016, while our NPL coverage ratio remained broadly stable at 84% or 205% with collateral.

Our balance sheet structure remains strong with a financial leverage ratio of 5.4x, while our total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) per Basel II/III regulation stood at 16.2%, against the minimum requirement of 10.5% and Tier I Ratio per Basel II/III at 13.3% against the minimum requirement of 8.5% (for the Bank Republic's Acquisition impact see page 22). Our liquidity position also remains strong with net loans to deposits + IFI funding at 94% and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) at 114%.

I would also like to highlight changes in the JSC TBC Bank Board Structure. Originally appointed as a representative of DEG, Irina Schmidt's term as the Non-Executive Director of the Supervisory Board of JSC TBC Bank expired in September 2016. We would like to thank Irina for her years of service and wish her success in her future endeavors.  Stephan Wilcke, previously appointed on the Board of Directors of TBC Bank Group PLC, joined the JSC Board as a new Independent Non-Executive Director.  Stephan has very valuable experience in financial industry, currently serving as the chairman of consumer lender Amigo Loans in the UK, as a Board member of the Jersey Financial Services Regulator JFSC and as the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee at emerging market fintec insurance operator Bima (Milvik).  Among many roles in the past, he has also served as the executive chairman of OneSavings Bank during the bank's successful IPO on the LSE. To make the two boards more aligned, I and Giorgi Shagidze, our CFO, have also become members of the JSC Board. The Board now has 9 members in total, the majority of whom are independent directors with relevant valuable experience in financial services around the world.

We also recently acquired the Georgian insurance company Kopenbur for USD 1.4 million. This acquisition is in line with our strategy to widen the range of products that we offer to our customers. After the acquisition, Kopenbur will become the main Bancassurance partner of TBC Bank and its product portfolio will include Motor, Travel, Personal Accident, Credit Life, Individual and Group Life, Business Property and Liability Insurance services.

 

Finally, I am also pleased to announce that that TBC Bank has been named the "Best Private Bank in Georgia 2016" by The Banker and Professional Wealth Management (PWM) magazines and the "Best Private Bank in Georgia for 2017" by Global Finance magazine. These prestigious awards recognize our outstanding track record in delivering the best private banking experience in the Georgian market.

 

Outlook

Going forward, we will focus on realizing synergies and cross-selling opportunities and on further developing the relationship with both our new and existing clients. As a result, we have revised upward our ROE forecast over the medium term to 20% plus. At the same time, we have changed our medium term growth target to 15-20%. We will continue to further strengthen our leading position in the market by differentiating our business and to deliver superior customer experience as well as the best multichannel capabilities. With all these factors considered, I am confident that we are in a strong position to continue deliver superior returns.

Economic Overview

In the first half of 2016, Georgia's GDP growth averaged 2.8% YoY driven by construction (+18.2% YoY), real estate (+6.1% YoY), hotels and restaurants (+11.2% YoY). The manufacturing sector expanded by 5.3% YoY in 1H 2016 contributing 0.6pp out of 2.8% growth in 1H. Transport and communications (-2.1% YoY) and trade sector (-0.6% YoY) held back growth, reflecting the deceleration in regional trade turnover in the first case and low consumer activity in the second.

Per initial estimates, GDP expanded by 2.2% YoY in 3Q 2016, implying a 2.6% YoY in real growth in the first nine months of the year. However, stable and transparent parliamentary elections at the beginning of October, resulting in the ruling party remaining in office, is likely to boost consumer and investment confidence and accelerate economic growth by the end of 2016. IMF recently revised its growth forecast for 2016 to 3.4%, 0.9pp above the previous forecast of 2.5%.

Inflation decelerated significantly. In 3Q 2016 annual inflation stood at 0.9% due to still sluggish demand and low commodity prices. It is expected to remain below the NBG target of 4% in the first half of 2017 to reach the target in the second half. The easing of the monetary policy, which, started in 1Q 2016, has already had a significant impact on GEL lending rates. As of 30 September,2016 interest rates on GEL loans declined by 3.4pp YoY, gradually translating into the higher lending in domestic currency and subsequent acceleration of consumer and investment activity. According to the NBG's statement following the latest monetary policy committee meeting, refinancing rate is expected to decline by additional 0.5pp from the current 6.5% over the coming two quarters, which should strengthen credit growth and de-dollarization of the loan portfolio.

Major components of the current account balance show positive trends along with the stabilizing economic situation in the region. Exports of goods started to bottom out after two years of continued declines. In September, 2016 exports increased by 8.3% YoY, while in 3Q they remained unchanged compared to the same period of 2015. Over this period exports of copper concentrates (+68% YoY) was a major contributor to the overall export growth. Traditional export goods, such as wines (+9.3% YoY), mineral waters (+15.4% YoY), nuts (+16.0% YoY) and gold (+20.8% YoY) also showed an upward growth trend. Lower prices on metals and chemicals held back the growth of other major export goods such as ferro-alloys (-5% YoY) and fertilizers (-69.4% YoY).

In 3Q, imports of goods2 increased by 4%, driven by an increase in imports of capital and intermediate goods (+8.7%), transportation (+32.2%) and consumer goods (+6.7%). One-off imports of train and municipal transport were behind the sharp hike for transportation. The rise in tourism inflows also contributed to increased imports of consumer goods in 3Q 2016.  Georgia continued to save on the imports of petroleum products: in the 3Q petroleum imports dropped by 26% YoY or by USD 190 million in absolute terms. The trade balance improved slightly (+1% YoY) in the first nine months of 2016. 

In 3Q 2016 remittances showed a robust rise (+16% YoY) supported by increasing money transfers from the EU (+44% YoY) and other countries while transfers from the CIS continued to fall, but at a significantly lesser rate (-7.2% YoY) compared to previous periods.

Tourism inflows continued to grow in 3Q with the number of visitors staying more than a day hiking by a solid 21% YoY. Additional cheap flights from a number of countries to Georgia, an active promotional campaign and safety issues in the neighboring countries contributed to the solid growth of tourism inflows in the country.

The USD/GEL exchange rate remained stable at around 2.33 during 3Q but reached 2.4 by the end of October. The exchange rate of the Georgian Lari remained consistent with that of Georgia's main trading partners. Real and nominal effective exchange rates of GEL remain around its long term trend, indicating no significant misalignment of GEL exchange rate.

The fiscal policy remains expansionary with the fiscal deficit estimated at 3.4% of GDP in 9M 2016 as opposed to the 2.2% in the same period of the previous year. However, the above 3% fiscal deficit does not create risks of public debt sustainability given the still significant fiscal space that government has. As of Q3 2016 public debt stood at 40.8% of GDP3 0.4pp lower YoY. Over the same period, the domestic public debt remained unchanged at 9.2% of GDP while external public debt dropped by 0.4pp to 31.6%.

Georgia remains committed to its structural reforms, aimed at boosting the economy's potential growth rate. The World Bank's report "Doing Business 2017" ranks Georgia 16th on ease of doing business globally, up by seven steps compared to the previous ranking. The country is among the world's top improvers in the doing business ranking. The recently signed free trade agreement with China, the DCFTA with EU, and a number of large scale investment and infrastructure projects slated for 2017 are likely to play significant role for Georgia to get back to its potential growth path in 2017. According to the IMF, real GDP is expected to grow by more than 5% in 2017, in line with the expectations of NBG and the Georgian government.

9M 2016 to 9M 2015 Comparison

In 9M 2016, net interest income grew by 10.2% YoY to GEL 336.8 million, resulting from a 10.1% higher interest income and 10.1% higher interest expense.

The increase in interest income of GEL 48.2 million was mainly driven by the rise in interest income from loans to customers by GEL 39.6 million, or 9.3%, which is primarily related to the 9.7% gross loan portfolio increase. Loan yields declined slightly over the same period from 13.6% to 13.5%, mainly due to a decrease in rates on FC-denominated loans that more than offset the increase in yields on GEL-denominated loans. The rise in interest income was also supported by the increase in interest income from investment securities (comprising both investment securities available for sale and bonds carried at amortized cost) by GEL 10.9 million, or 36.1%. This was primarily due to the increase in yields on such securities from 6.9% to 8.9% over the same period related to a higher refinance rate in the country in 9M 2016 compared to 9M 2015 (on 27 April 2016, NBG started to gradually cut the refinance rate, though it was still high at 6.5% as of 30 September 2016). The Bank's yield on average interest earning assets remained unchanged on a YoY basis at 12.3% during 9M 2016.

In the reporting period, interest expense increased by GEL 17.1 million, or 10.1% YoY, mainly due to a higher interest expense on due to credit institutions by GEL 8.2 million, or 17.2% and customer accounts by GEL 5.6 million, or 5.5%. The rise in interest expense on due to credit institutions resulted mainly from the increased cost of borrowing from 6.7% to 7.5% as of 30 September 2016. This in turn was due to higher cost of Lari-denominated borrowings at 9.9% compared to 6.9% in 9M 2015. This was mainly related to the refinancing rate increase, which more than offset the lower foreign currency denominated borrowing's rate which fell from 6.6% to 5.9%. The increase in interest expense on customer accounts was primarily driven by the 7.2% rise in the respective portfolio, which more than offset the 0.2pp decrease in the cost of client deposits to 3.4% in 9M 2016. As a result, the cost of funding ratio remained the same at 4.5% in 9M 2016.

Consequently, NIM was 7.9% in 9M 2016, unchanged from 9M 2015.

 

3Q 2016 to 3Q 2015 Comparison

In 3Q 2016, net interest income increased by GEL 12.8 million, or 11.9% YoY to GEL 120.2 million, as a result of a GEL 14.0 million, or 8.4%, increase in interest income and a GEL 1.2 million, or 2.0%, increase in interest expense, compared to 3Q 2015.

The hike in interest income mainly resulted from a GEL 13.6 million, or 9.0%, increase in interest income from loans, which in turn was due to the 9.7% rise in the gross loan portfolio as well as one-off interest income related to the one corporate customer amounting to GEL 4.2 million. This was partially offset by the decrease in loan yields from 13.6% to 13.5%, which resulted from the decrease in FC rates and more than offset the increase in GEL rate. The rise in interest income also resulted by the growth in interest income from investment securities (comprising both investment securities available for sale and bonds carried at amortized cost) by GEL 1.0 million, or 8.9%, which was mainly driven by a 0.8pp increase in yields on such securities to 8.3%. The rise in yields on securities more than offset decrease in loan yield and, as a result, yields on average interest earning assets increased to 12.5%, compared to 12.3% in 3Q 2015.

The increase in interest expense by GEL 1.2 million, or 2.0%, YoY, was primarily attributable to the increased interest expense on customer accounts by GEL 1.6 million, or 4.7% and subordinated debt by GEL 1.1 million, or 16.5%. The rise in interest expense on customer deposits resulted from the 7.2% increase in the respective portfolio, which was partially offset by the decrease in deposits rates of 0.1pp to 3.3%. The increase in interest expense on subordinated debt was due to the 13.2% growth in the respective portfolio, which more than offset the decline in the cost of subordinated debt by 0.1 pp to 11.0%. The increase in total interest expenses was partially offset by a decrease in expense on due to credit institutions by GEL 1.4 million, or by 7.8%, primarily related to the decrease in the respective average portfolio in the third quarter as well as due to the decrease in cost of borrowings by 0.1pp to 6.9%. As a result, the cost of funds dropped to 4.3%, compared to 4.5% in 3Q 2015.

Consequently, NIM increased from 7.9% to 8.3% (8.0% without one-off effect related to one large corporate customer as per above) on a YoY basis.

 

3Q 2016 to 2Q 2016 Comparison

On a QoQ basis, the net interest income increased by GEL 12.6 million, or 11.7%, as a result of a GEL 15.9 million, or 9.6%, higher interest income and GEL 3.3 million, or 5.7%, higher interest expense.

The increase in interest income mainly resulted from the rise in interest income on loans by GEL 16.3 million, or 11.0%, which in turn was due to the 6.2% increase in loan portfolio, as well as one-off interest income related to the one corporate customer with the amount of GEL 4.2 million and 0.2pp increase in loan yield. The rise in interest income was partially offset by a drop in interest income from investment securities by GEL 0.7 million, or 5.5%, which was driven by a 4.7% decrease in respective portfolio and reduced yields on securities by 0.8pp to 8.3%. This in turn was mainly a result of the gradual decrease of the refinancing rate in the country by 0.5pp over the last quarter. The increase in loan yields more than offset the decline in yields on securities - as a result, yields on average interest earning assets grew to 12.5%, compared to 12.2% in 2Q 2016.

The gain in interest expense primarily resulted from the increase in the interest expense on customer accounts by GEL 1.8 million, 5.3% in the respective period. This was primarily caused by the increase in customer accounts' portfolio by GEL 323.5 million or 7.6% which more than offset the decline in cost of deposit by 0.1pp to 3.3% in 3Q. Interest expense also grew following the increased interest expense on due to credit institutions by GEL 0.8 million, or 4.8%, driven by the GEL 404.1 million or 51.1% increase in the respective portfolio. This more than offset the effect of decreased cost of borrowed funds from financial institutions, from 8.0% to 6.9%. The additional GEL 0.6 million, or 8.9%, QoQ increment in interest expense on subordinated debt was due to the increase in respective portfolio as well as in the cost of subordinate debt from 10.3% to 11.0%. As a result, the cost of funds dropped to 4.3%, compared to 4.5% in 2Q 2016.

Consequently, on a QoQ basis, NIM grew by 0.3pp to 8.3% (8.0% without one-off effect related to one large corporate customer).

9M 2016 to 9M 2015 Comparison

In 9M 2016, net fee and commission income amounted to GEL 61.9 million, up by GEL 9.4 million, or 17.9%, compared to 9M 2015. This hike resulted mainly from a GEL 5.4 million increase in net fee and commission income from settlement transactions, a GEL 2.3 million rise from guarantees issued and a GEL 1.5 million increment from cash transactions, which were mainly driven by the increased scale of operations. The rise increase was slightly offset by a drop in other net fee and commission income by GEL 0.8 million.

 

3Q 2016 to 3Q 2015 Comparison

In 3Q 2016, net fee and commission income advanced to GEL 22.2 million, up by GEL 4.6 million, or 25.8%, compared to 3Q 2015. This resulted mainly from a GEL 2.4 million rise in net fee and commission income from settlement transactions, from a GEL 1.0 million increment in net cash transactions and from a GEL 0.7 million increase in card operations - the latter was mainly driven by the expanded scale of operations. The rise was slightly offset by a decrease in other net fee and commission income by GEL 0.2 million.

 

3Q 2016 to 2Q 2016 Comparison

On a QoQ basis, net fee and commission income increased by GEL 0.8 million, or 3.8%, compared to 2Q 2016, primarily driven by a GEL 1.0 million rise in net fee and commission income from settlement transactions, by a GEL 0.6 million increment in cash transactions, and by GEL 0.3 million increase in card operations. The gain was partially offset by a GEL 1.6 million drop in fee income from net guarantees received, which was mainly caused by the decline in guarantees portfolio.

9M 2016 to 9M 2015 Comparison

In 9M 2016 the total other operating non-interest income increased by GEL 2.3 million, or by 3.7% YoY, to GEL 64.2 million. The rise was mainly driven by a GEL 8.8 million one-off gain on the sale of an investment security. It was partially offset by a GEL 4.0 million, or by 8.1% decline in gains from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations. This was mainly caused by elevated income from FX operations in 2015, broadly related to the depreciation, volatility and related increased margins of the currency rate during 2015, as well as due to a one-off FX gain in 2Q 2015. The rise was also balanced out by the drop in other operating income by GEL 3.1 million or 22.2%, mainly resulting from the decline in revenues from operating leasing by GEL 2.3 million.  

 

3Q 2016 to 3Q 2015 Comparison

In 3Q 2016 total other operating non-interest income expanded by GEL 1.1 million, or by 6.2% YoY, to GEL 19.4 million. This rise was mainly driven by the GEL 3.0 million, or 22.0%, rise in net gains from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations, which was due to increased demand for foreign currency transactions as well as slightly increased margins. The increment was partially offset by a decline in other operating income by GEL 2.4 million, mainly due to a drop in revenues from operating leasing by GEL 1.3 million.

3Q 2016 to 2Q 2016 Comparison

On a QoQ basis, other operating non-interest income declined by GEL 7.4 million, or by 27.7%, primarily reflecting the GEL 8.8 million one-off gain which occurred in the previous quarter. Without that one-off benefit, total non-interest income expanded by 7.5% QoQ, mainly due to the GEL 3.3 million increase in gains from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations. This resulted from the increased demand for foreign currency transactions as well as slightly increased margins. The decrease in other operating income by GEL 2.2 million was mainly related to the decline in dividend income as well as the drop in gain from the sale of inventories of repossessed collateral.

9M 2016 to 9M 2015 Comparison

In 9M 2016, total provision charges declined by GEL 26.9 million to GEL 43.7 million, compared to 9M 2015, mainly driven by decreased charges on loans by GEL 31.9 million. The contraction was driven by the elevated provision charges in 9M 2015, which were mainly caused by the technical rise in provisions related to the local currency depreciation. The drop was offset by the GEL 6.6 million increase in provision charges on performance guarantees and credit related commitments, which resulted from recoveries in 9M 2015.

In 9M 2016, the cost of risk on loans stood at 1.1%, compared to 2.3% (1.4% without the currency rate effect) in 9M 2015.

3Q 2016 to 3Q 2015 Comparison

In 3Q 2016, total provision charges decreased by GEL 8.4 million, out of which GEL 8.5 million is attributable to loan book. The decline is driven by increased charges in 3Q 2015 due to the depreciation of the Georgian Lari. Without the FX effect provision charges would have been stable. Provision for performance guarantees and credit related commitments increased by the GEL 1.5 million and provision for impairment of other financial assets dropped by the GEL 1.2 million.

In 3Q 2016, the cost of risk on loans was 1.1%, compared to 2.0% (1.3% without the currency rate effect) in 3Q 2015.

3Q 2016 to 2Q 2016 Comparison

On a QoQ basis, total provision charges remained stable. The cost of risk on loans stood at 1.1%, unchanged from 2Q 2016.

9M 2016 to 9M 2015 Comparison

In 9M 2016, total operating expenses grew to GEL 200.2 million, up by GEL 24.5 million, or by 13.9%, YoY. The increase was primarily due to one-off expenses related to the Premium Listing that amounted to GEL 16.0 million. Without the effect of one-off expenses, operating costs would have increased by GEL 8.5 million, or by 4.8% YoY. The growth resulted mainly from increased staff cost, which grew by GEL 9.3 million, broadly following the Bank's increased scale of business.

 

As a result, the cost to income ratio was 43.3% (or 40.6% without one-off effects) in 9M 2016, compared to 41.8% in 9M 2015.

 

3Q 2016 to 3Q 2015 Comparison

In 3Q 2016, total operating expenses declined to GEL 65.5 million, up by GEL 3.5 million, or by 5.6%YoY. The rise was primarily due to an increase in staff cost expenses by GEL 5.2 million or 14.8%, broadly depending on the expanded scale of the business. This was partially offset by a decline in other administrative expenses of GEL 2.1 million or 10.4%. This was mainly related to the drop in the impairment of intangible assets and reversal of previously written-down repossessed assets.

 

As a result, the cost to income ratio stood at 40.5% in 3Q 2016, compared to 43.3% in 3Q 2015.

 

3Q 2016 to 2Q 2016 Comparison

On a QoQ basis, operating expenses decreased by GEL 4.8 million, or 6.9%, compared to 2Q 2016. The decline was mainly due to GEL 8.0 million drop in professional services which were primarily associated with Premium Listing expenses. The decrease was partially offset by the increment in staff costs of GEL 4.9 million or 13.9% compared to 2Q 2016. This was mainly related to the seasonality of performance and the accrual method, whereby the bonuses in 2H are generally higher than in 1H.

 

As a result, the cost to income ratio stood at 40.5%, down by 4.6pp (or down by 1.1% without one-off effects in either quarter).

 

 

Net Income

In 3Q net income hiked by 40.3% to GEL 71.0 million YoY and up by 12.9% QoQ without one-off effects in 2Q. ROE stood at 20.6%, up by 2.4pp YoY and up by 0.9pp QoQ without one-off effects in the second quarter. ROA stood at 4.0%, up by 1.0pp YoY and up by 0.2 pp QoQ, without one-off effects in the second quarter

 

Net income for 9M 2016 stood at GEL 210.2 million, up by 38.5% YoY. ROE stood at 21.8%, up by 2.8pp YoY. ROA stood at 4.1%, up by 0.8pp YoY.

For calculations of YoY growth without currency exchange rate effect, we used USD/GEL exchange rate of 2.3816 as of 30 September 2015. The USD/GEL exchange rate as of 30 September 2016 equaled 2.3297. For P&L items growth calculations without currency effect, we used the average USD/GEL exchange rate for the following periods: 9M 2016 of 2.3234, 9M 2015 of 2.2271, 3Q 2016 of 2.3224, 2Q 2016 of 2.2127 and 3Q 2015 of 2.3241.

(**) Income on NBG reserves and Nostros are calculated as benchmark minus margin whereby benchmarks are correlated with Libor. From March, 2016 according to NBG regulation is impossible to apply negative interest rates on NBG reserves and correspondent accounts, therefore these two items close the gap in case of both upward and downward movement of Libor rate.
