Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January - August
2018
Moscow, Russia - 26 September 2018. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the
"Group"), Russia's leading provider of online retail financial services via
its Tinkoff.ru financial supermarket, today announces Tinkoff Bank's
unaudited RAS financial highlights for January - August 2018.
For the eight months of 2018, net income stood at RUB 11.1bn, 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 206bn representing an increase of
35% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 170bn having increased by
34
% y-o-y and constituted 53% of total assets (51% at year-end 2017).
Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 194 bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to
retain substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 57% (minimum
requirement: 15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 167% (minimum requirement: 50%).
Retail customer accounts constituted 73% of total liabilities.
Total assets increased by 36% y-o-y to RUB 321bn.
As of 1 September 2018, total capital including retained profits (based on
Form 123) amounted to RUB 68bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 15.45%.
Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) was 10.87% and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio
(N1.2) was 15.39%.
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.
