Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January - June 2017
Moscow, Russia - 18 July 2017. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the "Group"),
Russia's leading provider of online retail financial services, including
Tinkoff Bank and Tinkoff Insurance, today announces Tinkoff Bank's unaudited
RAS financial highlights for January - June 2017.
For the six months of 2017, net income stood at RUB 9.2bn versus RUB 3.3bn in
January-June 2016 which is attributed to the growth of net interest income,
lower cost of funding, improved quality of the loan portfolio and growth of
revenue from new business lines.
It should be noted that the RAS net income figure is not a reliable indicator
of IFRS net income for the same period. There is a very low correlation
between financial results under the two reporting standards as a result of
significant accounting differences. Therefore, RAS figures should not be used
as the basis for conclusions on forthcoming IFRS results.
The gross loan portfolio amounted to RUB 139bn representing an increase of
25% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 116bn having increased by
31% y-o-y and constituted 53% of total assets (57% at year-end 2016).
Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 127bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to retain
substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 77% (minimum requirement:
15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 183% (minimum requirement: 50%). Retail
customer accounts constituted 68% of total liabilities.
Total assets increased by 44% y-o-y to RUB 220bn.
As of 1 July 2017, total capital including retained profits (based on Form
123) amounted to RUB 35bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 11.96%. Both
Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.2)
were 9.79%.
Our strong June 2017 RAS results are driven by two major continuing trends:
a) an ongoing quality growth of our consumer finance business, carrying on
from 2016;
b) a growing contribution from our non-credit fees-and-commission business
lines.
In June 2017, TCS Finance D.A.C. successfully issued USD 300,000,000 9.25%
perpetual callable loan participation notes and on-lent the proceeds from the
issue to Tinkoff Bank. The application regarding our intention to include
this issue into the calculation of our statutory capital ratios is currently
under review by the CBR.
Note on RAS results
Please note that the figures in this press release are calculated in
accordance with Tinkoff Bank's internal methodology which is available at:
http://static.tinkoff.ru/documents/eng/investor-relations/ras-methodology.pdf
RAS results are not a reliable indicator of IFRS results due to significant
accounting differences that make a direct read-across from RAS to IFRS
results impossible. The main differences between RAS and IFRS are:
* Consolidated results under IFRS include a number of additional items and
results of its subsidiaries
* Accrual of expenses under IFRS
* Timing differences in accounting for restructured loans ('instalments') and
loans going through courts
* The effect from the revaluation of currency derivative instruments
* The effect of deferred income tax.
