Letter from the Chief Executive Officer(( 2 (#_ftn2) ))
I am delighted to report that TBC achieved another set of strong results in
the fourth quarter of 2024, rounding off an excellent year. In 4Q 2024, net
profit reached GEL 335 million 3 (#_ftn3) , up 15% year-on-year, with 24.1%
ROE 4 (#_ftn4) . For the full year 2024, our net profit amounted to a record
GEL 1,308 million(3), up by 15% year-on-year, with 25.6% ROE(4). This marks
our third consecutive year of 25%+ ROE and means that we have posted above 20%
ROE for nine of the past 10 years (with the Covid-impacted 2020 the only
exception), which is testament to our consistent and strong delivery for
shareholders over the long-term.
Among the highlights for 2024, I would like to point to the excellent
achievements of our digital banking ecosystem in Uzbekistan. Over the past
year, TBC Uzbekistan has scaled up, with its total users increasing by 37% to
over 18 million and its loan book more than doubling. The foundations for
future growth have been laid through investments in key infrastructure, AI
initiatives, world-class talent and a suite of new core products. These
include Salom Card, our flagship daily banking product, Osmon Card, our first
revolving credit card, and TBC Business, Uzbekistan's first fully digital SME
banking service. Finally, in January 2025, we launched Payme Plus, a monthly
subscription service delivered through Payme, offering a bundle of value-added
financial and lifestyle products. Many of the pieces are now in place for TBC
Uzbekistan to contribute greatly both to the further development of the
Uzbekistan banking sector and to our Group overall.
Final dividend of GEL 5.55 per share declared, FY 2024 DPS up 12% YoY
In light of our strong results, I am delighted to announce that the Board has
recommended a final dividend per share of GEL 5.55 (subject to AGM approval),
which brings the full year dividend per share to GEL 8.10, an increase of 12%
year-on-year. Together with a GEL 50 million buyback, this brings total
capital returns to shareholders for 2024 to GEL 499 million, or 39% of net
profit (2023: 35%). The combination of excellent and consistent profitability,
dynamic digital growth in Uzbekistan and high capital returns to shareholders
that I have outlined, highlights the unique strength of the TBC Group.
Operating income up 23% YoY in 4Q 2024
Turning to the final quarter in more detail, in 4Q 2024, our total operating
income reached a record high level of GEL 784 million, up by 23% year-on-year.
The growth was driven by a 15% year-on-year increase in net interest income,
along with an excellent contribution from net fee and commission income, which
rose by 34% year-on-year, driven by our payments business in Georgia and
excellent growth in Uzbekistan.
Robust growth momentum in Georgia alongside fast-paced expansion in Uzbekistan
In 4Q 2024, our Georgian financial services continued to perform well, with
net profit increasing by 13% year-on-year and ROE standing at 24.6%. For the
full year 2024, our loan book increased by 14.2% year-on-year and deposits
grew by 8.1%, both on a constant currency basis. At the same time, our capital
position in Georgia remains very solid, with CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital
ratios standing at 16.8%, 20.4%, and 23.8%, respectively, well above the
minimum regulatory requirements.
During 4Q 2024, our digital banking ecosystem in Uzbekistan maintained its
fast-paced and profitable expansion. For the full year 2024, our loan book
more than doubled to GEL 1.8 billion (USD 626 million), capturing 16.4% share
of the unsecured consumer loan market(( 5 (#_ftn5) )) and accounting for half
of the Group's unsecured consumer loans. On the funding side, we successfully
diversified our funding mix, with 82% year-on-year growth in retail deposits
complemented by USD 105 million of new wholesale funding, as well as our debut
local currency bond issuance, and USD 75 million capital injections by
shareholders. In 4Q 2024, TBC Uzbekistan's operating income increased by 111%
year-on-year, reaching GEL 137 million (USD 50 million). Over the same period,
its net profit increased by 79% and amounted to GEL 37 million (USD 13
million), while ROE stood at an excellent 27.7%. As a result, TBC Uzbekistan
contributed 18% to the Group's total operating income and accounted for 11% of
its net profit.
Our customer base continues to grow, with digital monthly active users ("MAU")
hitting 7.0 million at the Group level, up by 1.8 million or 34% year-on-year.
We are also encouraged to see that more than one third of our users are active
across our digital platforms on a daily basis.
2025 strategic targets well on track
As a team, we achieved a great deal in 2024, but as always there remains much
to do, and we look forward to 2025 being another year of further scaling up
our business in Uzbekistan and continuing to deliver strong and profitable
growth in Georgia. I am confident we are fully on track to meet the mid-term
targets we have set for 2025.

Economic overview
Georgia
Economic growth remains resilient
Georgia's real GDP increased by 8.4% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of
2024, bringing full-year 2024 growth to a robust 9.5%. This follows impressive
growth rates of 7.8% in 2023 and 9.8% in the first nine months of 2024.
Consumption, tourism, and strong real credit growth contributed the most to
this year's performance, whilst foreign direct investments (FDI) declined and
growth in remittances and migration-related inflows moderated slightly.
Estimated net inflows into Georgia declined Q-o-Q in the fourth quarter,
primarily due to increased imports. Total goods exports denominated in U.S.
dollars rose by 19.3% year-on -year in the fourth quarter with domestic
exports surging by 26.4%, while full year exports increased by 7.8%. Imports
grew by 16.2% year-on-year in the fourth quarter and 8.1% in the full 2024.
FDI fell in the third quarter, decreasing by 55.2% year-on-year due to a fall
in equity investments, while reinvested FDI remained a substantial portion of
this inflow during the first nine months of the year. At the same time, as of
3Q 2024, the underlying current account deficit, when measured without
reinvestments, remained close to historical lows at -0.3% in seasonally
adjusted terms, while the total deficit stood at -0.9%, again adjusted for
seasonality.
Fiscal consolidation continues
The government remains committed to fiscal consolidation, aiming to reduce the
budget deficit and public debt relative to GDP. The cumulative budget deficit
in 2024 stood at 2.3% of GDP.
Credit growth moderates but remains strong
Bank credit growth has moderated slightly with year-on-year growth decreasing
from 18.7% in September 2024 to 17.0% in December, at constant exchange rates.
Given the low inflation, real credit growth also remained robust at 14.9%.
Relative moderation in growth rates was evident in both segments, as retail
credit increased by 16.3% year-on-year as of December, while the growth of
lending to legal entities stood at 17.8%, compared to 16.7% and 21.3% in
September, respectively. The gradual dedollarization of bank lending
accelerated in the 4Q due to increased demand for GEL loans, with the share of
foreign currency loans declining from 43.4% at the end of September 2024 to
42.7% at the end of December, at constant exchange rates.
GEL impacted by inflows and sentiment
Strong inflows supported GEL stability throughout the year, however, worsened
sentiments due to heightened political tensions negatively affected the
national currency. Among other drivers, weakening expectations on the market
drove deposit conversions to FC, putting pressure on the GEL exchange rate.
This prompted the NBG to intervene heavily, selling around USD 917 mln
throughout the year from its foreign currency reserves to avoid a significant
GEL depreciation, with most of the selling occuring in September and October.
However, the NBG switched back to the buying side in November-December,
purchasing around USD 153 mln from the market. Meanwhile, the national
currency depreciated to 2.8 GEL per USD in the fourth quarter, compared to
2.72 at the end of September and 2.69 at the end of 2023.
Annual CPI inflation remained well below the NBG's 3% target throughout the
year and stood at 1.9% as of December 2024, with some acceleration deriving
from both the base effect and higher prices in the fourth quarter.
Consequently, the NBG decided to maintain the monetary policy rate (MPR) at 8%
in the fourth quarter, having cut it from 9.5% in the first half of the year.
Uzbekistan
Continued strong economic performance
Uzbekistan's economic growth moderated only marginally from 6.5% in the third
quarter and remained strong at 6.3% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, with
full year growth coming out at a robust 6.5%. In terms of external trade,
lower gold exports weakened the full-year growth to 2.6%, while exports
excluding gold increased by 10.6% YoY. Decreasing vehicle imports also lowered
the import of goods, with full-year imports declined by 0.9% in 2024. Retail
credit growth continued to slow down in the fourth quarter, driven by cooling
growth in both mortgage and non-mortgage loans, though it still remained
robust at 19.5% YoY at the end of December, with mortgage credit expanding by
16.4% and non-mortgage credit by 21.4%.
Annual inflation in Uzbekistan stood at 9.8% in December, a slight moderation
from 10.5% in September, though still an increase compared to 8.8% at the end
of 2023. The CBU has kept its monetary policy rate at 13.5%, with only one 0.5
pp cut over the year. By the end of December 2024, the UZS was valued at
12,920 against USD, thus continuing to depreciate following a brief
stabilization mid year. Overall, the UZS only lost around 4.7% of its value
against the USD in 2024, compared to 9.9% in 2023.
Economic growth forecasts
The World Bank and IMF project Georgia's economic growth in 2025 at 6.0%,
while Fitch expects 5.3%. The respective real GDP growth forecasts for
Uzbekistan by the World Bank, IMF and ADB stand at 5.8%, 5.7% and 6.2%. As for
TBC Capital projections for 2025, in the case of Georgia, our expectation is
now moderately lower than our previous estimate of around 5.5%, while our
forecast for Uzbekistan is in line with the above estimates.

Regulatory capital
The YoY increase in Tier 1 and total capital was mainly due to the issuance of
USD 300 million AT1 capital notes, which was partially offset by
the repayment of USD 125 million AT1 notes. The increase in CET 1 capital was
due to profit generation, which was partially offset by dividend distribution
during 2024.
