Key financial indicators

The net income for 1H2017 increased by almost 2 times yoy to RUB 10.0 bln. This was driven by fee income growth, which is a priority for the Bank, and improving quality of its loan portfolio, which resulted in lower provisioning.

The net interest margin for 1H2017 was 2.9% as highly liquid assets represented a significant percentage of the Bank’s balance sheet. The net interest income as percentage of average RWA was 4.3%. The Bank’s interest margin indicators are in line with market trends.

The operating income (before provisions) for 1H2017 decreased by 1.3% to RUB 28.7 bln. The operating expense increased by 28.1% to RUB 8.3 bln as the Bank expands its business. The Bank’s operational efficiency remained at a high level, as witnessed by the traditionally low cost-to-income (CTI) ratio which was 29.2% in the reporting period.

The gross loan portfolio grew by 14.1% ytd to RUB 760.8 bln, owing to the corporate loan portfolio expanding by 17.3% to RUB 663.9 bln mainly due to loans issued to high-quality large caps. The retail loan portfolio shrank by moderate 3.6% to RUB 96.9 bln in 1H2017, which reflects the Bank’s cautious approach to retail lending. The share of corporate loans in the total loan portfolio grew from 84.9% as at end-2016 to 87.3%. The ratio of non-performing loans (NPL90+) decreased by 0.4 pp to 1.9%. The improving loan portfolio quality was also evidenced by a reduction in the cost of risk to 2.1% in the reporting period from 4.6% as at end-2016. The NPL90+ coverage ratio increased from 263.3% as at end-2016 to 302.9% as at 1H2017.

The total assets amounted to RUB 1,588.0 bln as at 1H2017.

The Basel III capital adequacy ratio grew from 14.7% as at end-2016 to 21.8% in 1H2017. The tier I capital ratio rose from 9.4% to 14.3%. The Bank’s total capital according to the Basel III standards increased by 46.2% in 1H2017 to RUB 233.6 bln, mainly due to USD 600 mln and USD 700 mln subordinated Eurobonds placed in April and May which were factored in tier 2 and tier 1 capital calculations, respectively.
