(4) total impairment charge, including impairment charge on loans to customers,

Compared with 9M 2016, interest income grew by 38.9% mostly due to 43.0% increase in
average balances of interest-earning assets. The increase in average balances of
interest-earning assets was mainly on the back of consolidation of Kazkommertsbank
assets in 3Q 2017, as well as NBK Notes purchased by the Bank starting from 2Q 2016
and excess liquid funds placed with commercial financial institutions following the
change in local regulation starting from 1 May 2016. Interest expense grew by 44.9%
compared with 9M 2016. This was mostly due to increase in average balances on
interesting bearing liabilities by 33.9%, as well as increase in average interest
rates on amounts to customers (to 4.0%p.a. from 3.7% p.a.) and debt securities issued
(to 8.2% p.a. from 7.7% p.a.) as a result of consolidation of Kazkommertsbank assets
in 3Q 2017. As a result, net interest income before impairment charge increased by
33.2% to KZT 166.8bn compared to 9M 2016.
Net interest margin decreased to 4.8% p.a. for 9M 2017 compared to 5.6% p.a. for 9M
2016, mainly on the back of lower net interest margin of Kazkommertsbank and
reclassification of Altyn Bank's interest earning-assets into assets held for sale.
Impairment charge increased by 29.4% compared to 9M 2016 and by 64.1% compared to 3Q
2016 mainly due to additional provisions created on Kazkommertsbank's impaired loans
in 3Q 2017. The cost of risk increased to 1.2% p.a. compared to 1.0% p.a. for 9m 2016
and to 1.7% p.a. compared to 1.4% p.a. for 3Q 2016.
Fee and commission income rose by 39.2% compared to 9M 2016, mainly as a result of
consolidation of Kazkommertsbank, as well as, growing volumes of transactional
banking, mainly in payment card maintenance, cash operations, and bank transfers -
settlements.
Other non-interest income increased to KZT 58.1bn for 9M 2017 vs. KZT 29.1bn for 9M
2016. This increase was largely attributable to consolidation with insurance
subsidiaries of Kazkommertsbank, as well as, growing volumes of insurance business of
the Bank. In addition, other non-interest income grew due to net gain from financial
assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss mainly on the back of
consolidation of Kazkommertsbank and also due to positive revaluation on derivative
and trading operations as a result of KZT depreciation in 3Q 2017.
Operating expenses grew by 40.5% compared to 9M 2016 mainly due to consolidation of
Kazkommertsbank, as well as increase in the Bank's expenses on salaries and other
employee benefits, professional services, taxes and disposal of property by the
Bank's leasing subsidiary. Salaries and other employee benefits increased on the back
of higher bonus reserves accrued in 9M 2017 compared to 9M 2016 and overall increase
in employee salaries from 1 June 2017; the increase was partially offset by the
reversal of bonus reserves previously accrued by Kazkommertsank. The increase in
professional services and taxes was due to expenses on external consultants in
connection with the purchase of Kazkommertsbank and sale of 60% stake in Altyn Bank.
The Bank's cost-to-income ratio increased to 27.2% compared to 26.8% for 9M 2016 on
the back of faster growth in operating expenses versus operating income. Operating
income increased by 38.6% on the back of higher interest income, net fees and
commissions and positive revaluation of derivative instruments in 3Q 2017.

*Including KKB net loans of KZT 780,866 million recognised by the Bank at fair value
+ changes in KKB gross loan portfolio from acquisition date to 30 September 2017.
**Including changes in provisions created on KKB loan portfolio from acquisition date
to 30 September 2017.
In 9M 2017, total assets increased by 62.2% vs. YE 2016, mainly due to consolidation
of KKB. Compared to YE 2016, the Bank's assets, excluding those of KKB, remained
almost flat.
Compared with YE 2016, loans to customers increased by 31.1% on a gross basis and
34.6% on a net basis, as a result of consolidation of Kazkommertsbank loan portfolio.
The increase was across all types of business: corporate - by 28.4%, SME - by 0.2%
and retail - by 55.1%.
The Bank's 90-day NPL ratio increased to 13.4% compared to 10.2% as at 30 June 2017
and 31 December 2016. The increase was mainly because of consolidation of
Kazkommertsbank loan portfolio, as well as indebtedness from two previously impaired
large-ticket corporate borrowers, operating in the agricultural sector, becoming
overdue by more than 90 days. The increase in 90-day NPLs was partially offset by
repayment of overdue indebtedness by a number of corporate borrowers, write-off of
problem retail loans and an overall increase in the loan portfolio.
Allowances for loan impairment increased by 1.9% compared to YE 2016, mainly as a
result of additional provisions created against impaired loans in the Bank's
portfolio.
Deposits of legal entities and individuals increased by 38.6% and 84.2%,
respectively, compared to YE 2016, mainly due to consolidation of Kazkommertsbank
assets and liabilities, as well as due to organic growth of the Bank's deposit base.
As at 30 September 2017, the share of corporate KZT deposits in total corporate
deposits was 52.1% compared to 42.6% as at 30 June 2017 and 36.8% as at YE 2016,
whereas the share of retail KZT deposits in total retail deposits was 37.7% compared
to 39.8% as at 30 June 2017 and 32.1% as at YE 2016.
Amounts due to credit institutions decreased by 4.5% vs. YE 2016 mainly due to the
Bank's partial repayment of a loan to KazAgro national management holding in 3Q 2017.
The repayment was made out of the Bank's own funds. Compared to 30 June 2017 amounts
due to credit institutions increased by 17.3% due to consolidation of
Kazkommertsbank. As of 30 September 2017, over one half of the Bank's obligations to
financial institutions was represented by loans from KazAgro national management
holding, DAMU development fund, Development Bank of Kazakhstan drawn in FY2014 and
FY2015 within the framework of government programmes supporting certain sectors of
economy.
Debt securities issued increased by 69.0% vs. YE 2016, mainly due to consolidation of
Kazkommertsbank's securities portfolio in 3Q 2017. As at the date of this
press-release, the Bank's debt securities portfolio was as follows:
