In preparing the consolidated financial information for the year ended 31
December 2023, the Group carried out an inventory of its financial
instruments. The inventory process identified financial instruments measured
at fair value through profit or loss that were previously restricted in use
and were incorrectly measured at cost. The Group revaluated these financial
instruments and recognized prior period adjustments.

The consolidated statement of profit or loss for the nine months ended 30
September 2023 has been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the
year ended 31 December 2023 because the presentation of the current year
report provides a clearer picture of the Group's financial performance. All of
the ratios were also recalculated accordingly. For more detailed information
please refer to Halyk Group's interim condensed consolidated financial
information for the nine months ended 30 September 2024, note #4b.

 

Net income attributable to common shareholders for 9M 2024 is up 18.3%
year-on-year thanks to notable increase in lending and transactional
businesses.

 

Interest income((1)) for 9M 2024 was up 30.3% vs. 9M 2023 mainly due to
increase in average rate and balances of loans to customers.

 

Interest expense for 9M 2024 increased by 27.9% vs. 9M 2023 mainly as a result
of the growth in average rate on amounts due to customers and growth in the
share of KZT amounts due to customers. Consequently, net interest income
before credit loss expense for 9M 2024 grew by 32.7% vs. 9M 2023.

 

In 9M 2024 net interest margin was affected by the increase in average rates
on both loans to customers and amounts due to customers. Furthermore, net
interest margin was positively impacted by the increase in the share of higher
yielding retail loans in total loan portfolio and share of loans to customers
in total interest earning assets, as well as increase in the share of KZT
interest-earning cash and cash equivalents. As a result, net interest margin
has grown to 7.1% p.a. for 9M 2024 compared to 6.3% p.a. for 9M 2023.

 

Fee and commission income in 9M 2024 vs. 9M 2023 increased by 2.0%. It was
negatively impacted by base effect related to transition to amortization of
tariff packages for legal entities starting from November 2023. Moreover,
there was a revision of some retail tariffs in 2H of 2023. On top of that, the
amount of bonuses for the loyalty program significantly grew due to increased
transactional activity of retail clients and growing share of QR payments.

 

Fee and commission expense in 9M 2024 vs. 9M 2023 grew by 7.3% mainly due to
increase in service fees on payment cards and in deposit insurance fees
payable to the Kazakhstan Deposit Insurance Fund following the retail deposits
amount growth.  As a result, despite the growth of clients' transactional
activity, the net fee and commission income for 9M 2024 decreased by 2.7% vs.
9M 2023.

 

Other expense/non-interest income ((4)) in 9M 2024 was negatively impacted by
a one-off recognized loss from the full prepayment of a deposit of the
Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund (KSF), which were made on April 8, 2024.

 

Operating expenses((5)) for 9M 2024 increased by 17.2% vs. 9M 2023 mainly due
to the indexation of salaries and other employee benefits.

 

The cost-to-income ratio equalled 17.6% in 9M 2024, compared with 17.9% in 9M
2023 due to higher operating income for 9M 2024.

 

Cost of risk in 9M 2024 was at normalized level within the scope of our full
year guidance and was at the level of 1.3%.

As at the end of 3Q 2024, total equity of the Bank increased by 16.2% compared

which was partially offset by the payment of dividends.
