Starting from 1 January 2023, Halyk Group's financial statements have been
transited to IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" from IFRS 4, which resulted in
recalculation of certain P&L items for 9M 2022 and 3Q 2022. All of the
ratios were also recalculated accordingly. For more detailed information
please refer to Halyk Group's financial statements for 3Q 2023, note #4.
Net profit attributable to common shareholders to KZT 172.1bn in 3Q 2023, up
37.7% compared with KZT 125.0bn in 3Q 2022 mainly due to significant increase
in lending and transactional businesses.
Interest income for 3Q 2023 increased by 26.8% vs. 3Q 2022 mainly due to
increase in average rate and balances of loans to customers. Interest expense
for 3Q 2023 increased by 35.1% vs. 3Q 2022 mainly as a result of the growth in
average rate and share of KZT amounts due to customers. Consequently, net
interest income for 3Q 2023 grew by 19.7% vs. 3Q 2022.
In 3Q 2023, net interest margin was affected by the increase in average rates
on both loans to customers and amounts due to customers following the
significant increase in interest rates. Furthermore, the share of loans to
customers in total interest-earning assets increased substantially. Moreover,
there was an increase in the average rate of FX amounts due from credit
institutions and FX interest-earning cash and cash equivalents following the
global increase of USD interest rates. As a result, net interest margin
increased to 6.8% p.a. for 3Q 2023 compared to 5.8% p.a. for 3Q 2022.
The cost of risk on loans to customers for 3Q 2023 increased to 1.6% compared
to 1.4% in 3Q 2022 due to recognition of additional provisions on some
corporate loans.
In 3Q 2023 compared to 3Q 2022, the overall dynamics of fee and commission
income and expense was driven by the increased clients' transactional
activity. Net fee and commission income for 3Q 2023 increased by 24.7% vs. 3Q
2022 due to increase in net transactional income of legal entities and
individuals ((8)).
Other non-interest income ((9)) increased by 27.9% for 3Q 2023 vs. 3Q 2022
mainly due to higher net gain from financial assets and liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss and net gain on foreign exchange operations amid
higher volatility of interest rates in 3Q 2022, which resulted in negative
revaluation on derivative financial instruments.
Net insurance income ((10)) for 3Q 2023 improved by 79.7% year-on-year, due to
overall business growth and as a result of recognition of insurance reserve
expenses on unsecured consumer loans with a borrower's life insurance bundle
in 3Q 2022.
Operating expenses for 3Q 2023 increased by 10.5% vs. 3Q 2022 mainly due to
the indexation of salaries and other employee benefits starting from March 1,
2023
The cost-to-income ratio equalled 18.0% in 3Q 2023, compared with 20.8% in 3Q
2022 due to higher operating income for 3Q 2023.
(8) Transactional income of individuals, less transactional expenses
of individuals and less loyalty program bonuses;
(9) Other non-interest income (net gain on foreign exchange
operations, net gain from financial assets and liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss, net realised loss from financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income, share in profit of associate, income on
non-banking activities and other income);
(10) Insurance underwriting income less insurance claims incurred and net
income/(expenses) from reinsurance contracts held.

in amounts due to customers.
Compared with the end of 2022, loans to customers were up 9.4% on a gross and
9.3% on a net basis. The increase in the gross loan portfolio was attributable
to a rise of 5.9% in corporate, 7.3% in SME and 16.7% in retail loans.
Despite some increase in absolute terms, Stage 3 loans decreased to 7.8% as at
the end of 3Q 2023 mainly due to increase of Stage 1 loans.
Compared with the end of 2022, the deposits of legal entities were down 13.0%
mainly due to overall transfers of funds across the banking sector into
higher-yielding securities market in light of elevated interest rates.
Compared with the end of 2022, the deposits of individuals were up 1.7% due to
fund inflow from the Bank's clients.

vs. 52.6% as at YE 2022.
As at the end of 3Q 2023, debt securities issued were up 46.4% year-to-date,

million with a coupon rate of 3.5%. As at the date of this press-release, the

In 9M 2023, total equity of the Bank increased by KZT 259.1bn or by 13.5%
