It dropped year-on-year firstly due to provisions having grown by 2.3 times from RUB 1.9 bln in 1Q2014 to RUB 4.6 bln in 1Q2015, and also due to the rising cost of funding, as observed in the market in general, with interest expense soaring 90.3% y-o-y while the funding base grew by 26.2% only.</p> <p><b>Operating expenses</b> increased by 15% to RUB 2.2 bln owing to evenly augmented staff costs and depreciation. However, administrative costs fell by 16.5% following an optimisation of the branch and self-service device network. The Bank’s operational efficiency continues to improve as shown by its CTI ratio reducing to 29.3%. </p> <p><b>Total loan portfolio</b> (before provisions) stood at RUB 402.2 bln in the first quarter of 2015, which is 2% more than at end-2014. The corporate loan portfolio demonstrated positive dynamics and expanded to RUB 275.5 bln, a 3.6% growth y-t-d, while the retail loan portfolio shrank by 1.2% in the first 3 months of 2015 to 126.7 bln roubles as requirements to customers became stricter and less loans are originated as a result of the worsening macroeconomic situation. The share of non-performing loans (NPL 90+) in the Bank's total portfolio increased slightly from 2.3% to 2.4% mostly because of the deteriorated financial condition of a number of large corporate borrowers. Loan loss provisions also grew to 4.8% of the Bank's total portfolio owing to the slowing down economic growth, worsening external environment and the Bank's conservative approach to provisioning.</p> <p><b>Customer accounts and deposits</b> increased by 9% y-t-d to RUB 368.8 bln accounting for 70.8% of total liabilities. In the first quarter of 2015, the Bank actively attracted corporate deposits so that they expanded by 18% y-t-d to RUB 202.3 bln. Retail deposits grew in the reporting period at a more moderate 1.9% up to RUB 166.5 bln. The ratio of loans after provisions to deposits dropped from 112.9% as at end-2014 to 103.8% as at the first quarter of 2015.</p> <p><b>Capital adequacy ratio</b> calculated in accordance with Basel III was 15.8% as at the reporting date. Tier I capital ratio decreased in the reporting period from 10.5% to 10.4%. The Bank’s total capital according to Basel III standards increased by 1.5% to RUB 91.7 bln.</p> <p><b>Infrastructure development</b></p> <p>As of 31 March 2015, CREDIT BANK OF MOSCOW had 56 offices, 25 stand-alone cash desks, 808 ATMs and 5,480 payment terminals (as of 31 December 2014, these figures were 58, 31, 841 and 5,683 respectively).</p>
