*Net interest income* reached *RUB336.6 bn *in 1Q 2017, up by 3.4% from the
year-ago period:
- Interest income (down 7.7% to RUB565.6 bn compared to 1Q 2016) dynamics
were explained by declining interest rate environment, while interest
expenses including deposit insurance expenses decreased by 20.3% from 1Q
2016 to RUB229.0 bn. The cost of liabilities decreased by 10 basis points to
4.4% in 1Q 2017 relative to 4Q 2016, driven by corporate term deposits, cost
of which came down by 50 basis points to 3.8%.
The Group 1Q 2017 *net fee and commission income* came at *RUB80.4 bn, *up
by 4.1%from the year-ago period.
- The fee and commission income grew by 9.1% to RUB103.2 bn from the
year-ago period. The main drivers of this growth slowdown as compared to the
same period a year ago were Rouble strengthening against other currencies in
the countries of our presence, as well as decrease in volume of FX
transactions in the domestic market on the back of FX market stabilization;
- Income from banking cards operations increased by 20.2% in 1Q 2017 from 1Q
2016;
- The fee and commission expense increased by 31.0% to RUB22.8 bn in part
from expansion of the banking cards business.
*Net provision charge* *for loan impairment* for 1Q 2017 totaled *RUB67.4
bn* compared to RUB84.3 bn for 1Q 2016. This translated into the cost of
risk of 146 basis points for the quarter versus 170 basis points a year ago.
- The cost of risk for corporate loans amounted to 169 basis points in 1Q
2017;
- The cost of risk for retail loans amounted to 87 basis points in 1Q 2017.
The Group *operating expenses* for 1Q 2017 increased to *RUB147.3 bn*, up by
2.4% from the same period a year ago.

*Total gross loans* decreased by 2.7% to RUB18.2 trn in 1Q 2017 as compared
to 4Q 2016. The decrease of the corporate loan portfolio was mostly
influenced by revaluation of foreign currency denominated loans. The
dynamics within the retail loan portfolio were influenced primarily by the
increase in mortgages (up 1.0% during the quarter).
*Client deposits* demonstrated a decrease of 3.4% in 1Q 2017 as compared to
4Q 2016 mainly driven by the outflow of corporate funds, down by 8.3% during
the quarter, as a result of Rouble appreciation as well as the Bank's
targeted strategy to manage the cost of the corporate deposit base. The
retail deposit base, adjusted for FX, showed positive dynamics unlike the
usual seasonal weakness of the first quarters in the previous years. The
composition of client deposits improved during the quarter with the share of
current accounts in total deposits increasing to 26.4%.
*Total NPL[2] ratio* came at 4.7% in 1Q 2017 as compared to 4.4% in 4Q 2016.
This growth was driven by the combination of the decreasing loan portfolio
and slight increase in the NPLs. The coverage level of the NPL portfolio
remained unchanged during the quarter at 157% of total NPLs.
The share of *restructured loan portfolio* of total gross loan portfolio
reached 6.8%, largely driven by the restructuring of a loan to an
international retailer within the food and agriculture sector. The provision
coverage of total NPLs combined with restructured non-NPLs reached 75.3% in
1Q 2017, up from 74.6% in 4Q 2016.
