Forward-looking statements

 

This document contains forward-looking statements; such forward-looking
statements contain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important
factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
TBC Bank Group PLC ("the Bank" or "the Group" or "TBCG") to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
based on numerous assumptions regarding the Bank's present and future business
strategies and the environment in which the Bank will operate in the future.
Important factors that, in the view of the Bank, could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements
include, among others: the achievement of anticipated levels of profitability;
growth, cost and recent acquisitions; the impact of competitive pricing; the
ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses; the impact
of developments in the Georgian and Uzbek economies; the impact of
Russia-Ukraine war; the political and legal environment; financial risk
management; and the impact of general business and global economic conditions.

document should be taken as forecasts or promises, nor should they be taken as
implying any indication, assurance or guarantee that the assumptions on which
such future projections, expectations, estimates or prospects are based are

the document. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made, and, subject to compliance with applicable law and regulations, the
Bank expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any
updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in the

factors affecting those statements.

(*)In 1Q 2025, adjusted net profit excludes the following: TBC Uzbekistan
recorded a non-recurring impairment charge of GEL 24.6 mln (pre-tax) related
to a market-wide data integrity issue affecting our borrower income
verification processes. A subset of loan applicants had overstated their
employment earnings which matched similarly overstated data from the
third-party data sources that TBC Uzbekistan, along with other financial
institutions, relied upon for income validation. We have since implemented
enhanced verification controls and other security protocols to address the
situation

Letter from the Chief Executive Officer(( 1 ))

 

I am pleased to report a strong start to 2025, which is particularly welcome
given the uncertain global backdrop. In 1Q 2025, our operating income
increased by 25% year-on-year and amounted to GEL 774 million, while our net
profit reached GEL 319 million(2), up 7% year-on-year, delivering above 23%
ROE(( 2 )).

 

It was a very active quarter in building out our recent pipeline of new
product launches. This included excellent growth in the issuance of our new
Georgian daily banking product, TBC Card, with new card issuance almost
tripling in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year.
Meanwhile, in Uzbekistan, our Salom Card daily banking product and Osmon
credit card have both hit the ground running, with over 275,000 cards issued
by the end of the first quarter. We have also recently extended our SME
digital banking offering to include unsecured loans as we look to develop the
huge untapped opportunity within the SME sector in Uzbekistan. As we offer new
products and improved customer experience, we in turn continue to see strong
customer growth, with digital monthly active users ("MAU") reaching 7.2
million at the Group level, up by 1.6 million, or 28%, year-on-year. Notably,
over one-third of our users engage with our digital platforms on a daily
basis, which is an excellent indicator of user loyalty and engagement.

 

Another important milestone achieved in 1Q 2025 was the creation of the new
HoldCo in Uzbekistan, TBC Digital, in which TBC Group owns 80% and our IFI
partners 20%. Through this process, we folded our two businesses, TBC UZ and
Payme, into a single shareholding structure, enabling us to more effectively
unlock synergies and increase shareholder value in Uzbekistan.

 

I am also delighted to announce that the Board has approved quarterly dividend
distributions to enhance shareholder value through more regular returns,
enabled by our consistently strong operational performance, good visibility on
the business, and diligent capital discipline. As a result, the Board has
declared an interim dividend of GEL 1.5 per share for the first quarter.

 

Strong revenue generation across the board

Our high profitability was driven by strong revenue generation across the
board. Net interest income grew by 20% year-on-year, underpinned by dynamic
loan book growth and resilient margins, while our net fee and commission
income rose an excellent 42% year-on-year, driven by payments in both Georgia
and Uzbekistan, and other operating income (led by FX revenues) increased by
31% over the same period.

 

Operating expenses increased by 25% year-on-year in the first quarter as we
continue to invest in growth, with our Uzbek business accounting for almost
60% of the growth. Over the same period, Georgian financial services grew by
11% year-on-year, or 9% excluding the impact of contributions to the new
banking sector resolution fund 3 . Consequently, our cost-to-income ratio was
flat year-on-year at 37.2% in 1Q 2025.

 

Continued solid growth in Georgia alongside fast-paced expansion in Uzbekistan

In 1Q 2025, our Georgian financial services demonstrated strong results, with
net profit increasing by 12% year-on-year and 23.3% ROE. Over the same period,
our loan book increased by 13% year-on-year and customer deposits grew by 9%,
both on a constant currency basis.

During 1Q 2025, our digital banking ecosystem in Uzbekistan continued to grow
rapidly. Our loan book more than doubled to GEL 2.2 billion, capturing 17%
share of the unsecured consumer loan market(( 4 )) and close to 5% of the
total retail loan market, while our retail deposits grew by 85% year-on-year,
taking us to 4% market share.

This growth drove TBC Uzbekistan's operating income up by 118% year-on-year,
reaching GEL 161 million, while adjusted net profit for a GEL 24.6 pre-tax
non-recurring impairment charge amounted to GEL 42 million, up by 129%
year-on-year, with 26.6% adjusted ROE. As a result, TBC Uzbekistan contributed
21% to the Group's total operating income and accounted for 12% of its net
profit, on an adjusted basis.

 

On track to hit 2025 strategic targets

I am confident that the Group is well positioned to build on this solid start
to the year, to deliver strong results for our shareholders in 2025, and that
we remain firmly on track to achieve all our strategic targets for the year.

Economic overview

Georgia

Economic growth remains robust

Georgia's real GDP increased by 9.3% year-on-year in the first quarter of
2025, following a robust 9.4% in 2024, according to Geostat. Despite some
moderation in monthly growth dynamics, the economic print remains stronger
than the widely expected growth normalization trend would imply. While
heightened political tensions resulted in lower tourism revenues and domestic
demand in December-February, especially reflected through contracted spending
on durable goods, a recovery in consumption was evident in March, with
economic growth supported by improving tourist and migrant spending and still
strong credit activity.

Following the drop in December 2024, estimated net inflows into Georgia
improved in the first quarter, driven by lower durable imports, which also
started to recover from March. Total exports of goods denominated in U.S.
dollars rose by 5.7% year-on -year in the first quarter with domestic exports
remaining unchanged, while imports of goods after adjusting for one-offs
increased by 3.1%. FDI improved in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to lower
debt repayments, though still decreased by 29.9% in the full year as the sum
of equity investments and reinvested earnings moderated from a historical high
in 2023.

 

Fiscal consolidation continues

The government remains committed to fiscal consolidation, aiming to reduce the
budget deficit and public debt relative to GDP. The budget deficit in 1Q 2025
stood at 1.0% of GDP, while public debt to GDP stood at 35.2%.

Credit growth remains strong

Bank credit growth has moderated only slightly from 17.0% year-on-year in
December 2024 to 16.6% in March 2025, at constant exchange rates. Given the
accelerating inflation, real credit growth also weakened, though it remained
robust at 12.6%. As for segments, while retail credit diminished from 16.2% in
December to 15.4% in March, the year-on-year growth of lending to legal
entities remained stable, standing at 17.8% and 17.9%, respectively. The
gradual dedollarization of bank lending continued in 1Q 2025, with the share
of foreign currency loans declining only slightly from 43.3% at the end of
December 2024 to 43.2% at the end of March, at constant exchange rates.

GEL strenghtens amid domestic and global challenges

While heightened political tensions negatively affected toursim revenues at
the beginning of 2025, worsened expectations also resulted in lower imports,
significantly improving the net currency inflows into the country and, hence,
easing the pressure on the GEL exchange rate. The environment more or less
returned to normal from March, however, the GEL has now benefitted from the
globally weakened USD. These developments allowed the NBG to renew USD
purchases on the FX market after staying neutral in January-February, buying
around USD 102 mln in March and seemingly continuing the reserve accumulation
in April as well. Meanwhile, the national currency appreciated to 2.77 GEL per
USD at the end of the first quarter of 2025, compared to 2.81 at the end of
December 2024.

The CPI inflation continued accelerating, driven by both low base effect and a
partial pass-through of elevated risks realized in food price dynamics
globally. The annual change in consumer prices surpassed the NBG's 3% target
in March, standing at 3.5%. Consequently, the NBG decided to maintain the
monetary policy rate (MPR) at 8%, unchanged since May 2024.

Uzbekistan

Continued strong economic performance

Uzbekistan's economic growth has strengthened to 6.8% year-on-year in 1Q 2025,
compared to 6.5% in 2024. In terms of external trade, exports of goods in 1Q
2025 increased by a robust 21.6% year-on-year due to higher gold exports. On
the other hand, decreasing vehicle imports lowered the import of goods, with
full-year imports declining by 5.9% in the first quarter. Retail credit growth
appears to be strengthening in 1Q 2025, standing at 21.1% at the end of March,
with mortgage credit expanding by 16.5% and non-mortgage credit by 24.1%.

Annual inflation in Uzbekistan stood at 10.3% in March, a slight elevation
from 9.8% in December 2024. The CBU increased its monetary policy rate by 0.5
percentage points to 14.0% at the March committee meeting, citing sustained
inflationary pressures, growing demand, and rising inflation expectations. By
the end of March 2025, the UZS was valued at 12,913 against the US Dollar,
maintaining close to the same level since the end of 2024. The recent UZS
stabilization and brief appreciation episodes were supported by globally
weakened USD, higher gold prices, moderated credit activity and the tighter
CBU stance.

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%, 5.9% and 6.6%,
broadly in line with TBC Capital's projections for both countries.
