Including loss from impairment of non-financial assets of KZT -0.05 bn.
Net profit attributable to common shareholders amounted to KZT 157.2bn in 2Q 2022, up 22.2% compared with KZT 128.6bn in 2Q 2021 mainly due to significant increase in lending business, including acquisition of Sber's loan portfolio, and in net gain on foreign exchange operations.
Interest income for 2Q 2022 increased by 39.1% vs. 2Q 2021 mainly due to increase in average rate and balances of loans to customers. Interest expense for 2Q 2022 increased by 71.5% vs. 2Q 2021, this stemmed mainly due to the increase in average rate and balances of amounts due to customers and due to increase in interest expense on amounts due to credit institutions as a result of growing volumes of REPO transactions attracted to provide current cash flows in KZT within the Bank's operating activities. As a result, net interest income for 2Q 2022 increased by 18.4% vs. 2Q 2021. The net interest margin decreased to 5.2% p.a. for 2Q 2022 compared to 5.4% p.a. for 2Q 2021 due to increase in average rate on amounts due to credit institutions as a result of growing volumes of REPO transactions.
The cost of risk on loans to customers for 2Q 2022 was at 1.5% reflecting more normalized credit loss expenses on corporate and SME loan portfolio and higher credit loss expenses on retail loan portfolio.
In 1H 2022, the overall dynamics of the fee and commission income and expense was driven by the increased transactional activity as a result of the clients inflow due to changes in the operating landscape. Consequently, the previous trend of the net fee and commission income dynamics turned positive, increasing by 27.5% in 2Q 2022 vs. 2Q 2021. Contribution of BNPL loans (merchant fees) to the fee and commission income has decreased in 2Q 2022 vs. 2Q 2021 due to tightened underwriting conditions.
Other non-interest income (7) increased by 3.5x to KZT 76.2bn for 2Q 2022 vs. KZT 21.6bn for 2Q 2021 mainly due to significant increase in net dealing income from FX operations.
Net insurance income (8) for 2Q 2022 decreased by 75.3% year-on-year, due to increase in insurance reserve expenses on unsecured consumer loans with a borrower's life insurance bundle.
Operating expenses rose by 25.0% year-on year in 2Q 2022, mainly due to the indexation of salaries and other employee benefits starting from 1 March, 2022 and due to employee premiums reserve accrued in 2Q 2022.
The cost-to-income ratio equalled 18.2% in 2Q 2022, compared with 21.2% in 2Q 2021, as operating income increased in the reporting period. 7.

As at the end of 2Q 2022, total assets were up 13.6% year -to-date. This was due to the growth in amounts due to customers to support the expansion of lending business.
Compared with the end of 2021, loans to customers were up 23.1% on a gross and 23.6% on a net basis. The increase in the gross loan portfolio was attributable to a rise of 24.3% in corporate, 11.6% in SME and 27.4% in retail loans.

Compared with the end of 2021, deposits of legal entities and individuals were up 28.3% and 8.2%, respectively, as a result of the clients inflow due to changes in the operating landscape.
