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 million2, 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.
