The net income for 2017 increased by almost 2 times yoy to RUB 20.7 bln. This was driven by the growth of business volumes coupled with improvement of risk indicators and by the high operational efficiency.
The net interest margin decreased to 2.9% due to a greater share of highly liquid assets on the Bank’s balance sheet and declining interest rates in the Russian banking market. The net interest income as percentage of average RWA rose to 4.5% pointing at the Bank’s successful resilience to tough competition.

The Bank’s total assets grew by 20.4% to RUB 1,888.2 bln, mainly due to the net loan portfolio expanding by 22.7% to RUB 768.7 bln and interbank market transactions increasing by 29.1% to RUB 845.0 bln.
The gross loan portfolio grew by 22.8% to RUB 818.8 bln, with the corporate loan portfolio expanding by 29.1% to RUB 731.1 bln mainly due to loans issued to high-quality corporate customers. The Bank’s conservative approach to retail lending led to a reduction of its retail loan portfolio by 12.8% to RUB 87.7 bln. The share of corporate loans in the total loan portfolio grew from 84.9% as at end-2016 to 89.3% as at end-2017. The ratio of non-performing loans (NPL 90+) increased by 0.1 pp to 2.4%, mostly because of the deteriorated financial condition of a large borrower from the industrial construction sector, while the rest of the portfolio showed a positive trend.
