1Q 2025 financial results include a non-recurring credit impairment charge of GEL 24.6 mln (pre-tax) in Uzbekistan       Letter from the Chief Executive Officer[2] I am pleased to report a strong start to the year for TBC Group as we continue to generate sustainably high profitability and robust growth. In 1Q 2026, our net profit reached GEL 365 million, up 15% year-on-year, with ROE of 23.4%. This performance comes against a backdrop of increased global volatility and uncertainty following the start of the US-Iran war in late February. Like elsewhere, the countries in which we operate, Georgia and Uzbekistan, are not immune to the fallout from this conflict. However, so far, the economic impact has been relatively muted and, for now, we still expect to see strong economic growth in both countries in 2026, with a 7.4% real GDP growth forecast for Georgia and 7.9% for Uzbekistan.  Turning to our businesses, we continue to strive to deliver best-in-class financial services for all our customers. Our core home market of Georgia remains a consistently strong performer, generating over 24% ROE on 14% year-on-year earnings growth in 1Q 2026. The main driver here was excellent growth in net interest income, which rose by 24% year-on-year on the back of 12% loan growth and 20 bps quarterly expansion in NIM to 6.2%. An increasing number of retail banking customers are choosing TBC, with over 200k new digital monthly users added in the past year, and almost half of our monthly users are now interacting with us on a daily basis. Behind this growth lie the major improvements we have been making in our digital banking platforms and customer experience. This is reflected in a number of prestigious awards we have recently received, including The Banker's Technology Award 2026 in CEE and Global Finance's Most Innovative Bank 2026 in CEE. Meanwhile, our dominant position in CIB was highlighted by TBC Capital's 2nd International Capital Markets Conference, hosted in Tbilisi in March. This event brought together over 500 local and international market participants to discuss the evolution of capital markets in Georgia, Uzbekistan and the wider region. As we guided at our FY25 results in February, the first quarter in Uzbekistan was shaped by the ongoing recalibration of our loan book in line with changed regulatory requirements. The resulting contraction in lending in 1Q 2026 negatively impacted core revenues and profitability in Uzbekistan, with earnings down 4% year-on-year and 10.9% ROE. At the same time, we continue to successfully diversify our lending, with our business loan portfolio having grown to over USD 150 million in just a year of operation, and now accounting for 18% of the loan book. We also see growing demand from customers for our fully digital range of products and services across our verticals of spending, borrowing, saving and protecting. The take-up of our core daily banking product, Salom Card, remains excellent, with over 1.0 million cards now in issue, while payments' value rose by 40% year-on-year in 1Q 2026. Our product development pipeline remains active and on track, with auto loans and collateralised MSME lending to be launched around mid-year, and our in-app AI banking assistant, Lola, now being rolled out across our user base. The combination of healthy customer demand and an active product pipeline provides firm foundations for the future growth of this business. As we detailed in our Strategy Day in New York in late February, we remain firm believers in the great long-term opportunity for financial services in both Georgia and Uzbekistan, which underpins our confidence in being able to generate sustainably strong profitability, growth and capital returns for our shareholders. On the last point, the Board has declared an interim dividend of GEL 1.75 per share for 1Q 2026. Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues and our shareholders for their continued support. Having started 2026 well, our strong growth outlook for the full year remains in place as we work to deliver on the strategic goals we have outlined.   Vakhtang Butskhrikidze CEO, TBC Bank Group PLC Economic overview Georgia Economic growth remains robust Georgia's real GDP increased by 9.1% year-on-year on average in the first quarter of 2026, according to Geostat's preliminary data, accelerating from 7.5% in 2025. Despite the military escalation in the Middle East, economic activity in Georgia remained robust, with growth supported by resilient foreign currency inflows' balance and moderately slowing, though still strong, real credit activity and wages. While the conflict in the Middle East negatively affected tourism inflows into Georgia in March, the consequent surge in global commodity prices was positive for Georgia's exports. Exports of goods denominated in USD increased by 23.4% year-on-year in 1Q 2026, primarily driven by higher petroleum, gold, copper ores and ferro-alloy exports, resulting in domestic exports surging by 75.1% year-on-year, while motor car re-exports moderated. On the other hand, imports denominated in USD fell by 7.1% year-on-year in 1Q (but grew by 5.1% when adjusted for a one-off in January 2025), also driven by lower motor car imports. A strong start of the year enabled tourism revenues to remain broadly resilient, posting 0.5% growth in annual terms in 1Q 2026, while remittances increased by 14.2%. Consequently, estimated net currency inflows remained robust in 1Q, following a record low current account deficit in 2025 of just 2.6% of GDP, while on an underlying basis - without reinvested earnings - this even turned to a surplus of around 0.2% of GDP. Fiscal consolidation continues The government remains committed to fiscal consolidation, as it recorded a budget deficit equal to only 1.2% of GDP in 2025 and a surplus equal to around 1.1% of GDP in 1Q, while the public debt to GDP ratio declined to 33.6%. Credit growth remains strong Bank credit growth slightly strengthened to 14.8% year-on-year in March, at constant exchange rates, compared to 13.9% in December 2025. Given accelerating inflation, real credit growth weakened, though it still remained strong at 10.1% at the end of 1Q. As for segments, while retail credit strengthened from 14.9% in December 2025 to 16.4% in March, the year-on-year growth of lending to legal entities increased only slightly from 12.7% to 13.0%. The dollarization of bank lending remained broadly stable throughout 1Q, with the share of foreign currency loans increasing slightly from 42.4% in December 2025 to 42.6% in March 2026, at constant exchange rates. GEL remains stable, NBG reserves at historic highs While the Middle East escalation resulted in a brief GEL weakening in March, the currency recovered quickly, with still robust currency inflows underpinning a surplus on the FX market, allowing the NBG to continue reserve accumulation in 1Q 2026. The Central Bank purchased a record high USD 429 million in February and sold only about USD 16 million net in March, with total purchases throughout the quarter of USD 500 million. Consequently, NBG's gross international reserves increased to a historic high of USD 6.5 billion at the end of 1Q 2026, while the GEL weakened only marginally by 0.2%, standing at 2.70 as of 31-March 2026. CPI inflation slightly increased to 4.3% in March 2026 from 4.0% in December 2025, above the NBG 3.0% target. While domestic pressures somewhat eased, the surge in global commodity prices brought inflationary pressure in March. Consequently, the NBG has maintained the monetary policy rate ("MPR") at 8.0%, unchanged since May 2024. Uzbekistan Continued strong economic performance Uzbekistan's economic growth strengthened to a robust 8.7% year-on-year in 1Q 2026, following 7.7% in 2025. In terms of external trade, exports of goods in 1Q 2026 decreased by 45.5% year-on-year due to the volatility of gold exports, while non-gold exports increased by a robust 23.0%. At the same time, imports surged by 32.7% year-on-year in 1Q, driven by increased imports of petroleum and machinery. Retail credit growth slightly slowed to 22.3% year-on-year in March 2026, compared to 24.1% in December 2025, with mortgage credit expanding by 17.2% and non-mortgage credit by 25.4%. Annual inflation in Uzbekistan stood at 7.1% in March, down from 7.3% in December 2025 with monthly inflation also moderating to around the CBU's 5% target. The CBU kept its monetary policy rate at 14.0% throughout the quarter, unchanged since March 2025. At the same time, the UZS was valued at 12,211 per US Dollar at the end of March 2026, having depreciated by 1.5% compared to the end of 2025, with the UZS has again gained ground recently, supported by the CBU's tight monetary stance. At the same time, as of March 2026, CBU's mostly gold-denominated international reserves increased by a substantial USD 21.1 billion (or 44.2%) year-on-year, while growth through 1Q 2026 stood at USD 2.7 billion (or 4.5%). Economic growth forecasts raised Following strong performances in both countries through 2025 and 1Q26, TBC Capital expects continued robust economic growth of 7.4% for Georgia and 7.9% for Uzbekistan in 2026. The IMF and World Bank projections stand at 5.3% and 5.0% for Georgia and 6.8% and 6.4% for Uzbekistan, respectively.
