StatementonTinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January-August 2015 
Moscow,Russia-17September2015.TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the "Group"), includingTinkoff Bank, Russia's leading provider of online retail financial services, today announces Tinkoff Bank's unaudited RAS financial highlights for January-August2015.
For the first eight months of 2015, net incomestood at RUB1.3bn as a result of higher interest expenses, increased loan provisioning andlosses from operations with foreign currenciesdue to theRussian Ruble devaluation. Tinkoff Bank had low FX exposure hedging its long-term liabilities with swaps. The difference in the revaluation of swaps and liabilities led to the FX losses.
It should be noted that the RAS net income figure is not a reliable indicator of IFRS net income for the same period. There is a very low correlation between financial results under the two reporting standards as a result of significant accounting differences and therefore RAS figures should not be used as the basis for conclusions on forthcoming IFRS results.
The gross loan portfolio amounted to RUB 99.3bnrepresenting an increase of7% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB73.2bnhaving increased by 4% y-o-y and constituted51% of total assets (63% at year-end 2014).
Retail customer accountsincreased by74% y-o-yand by 75% year-to-date toRUB 72.4bn.Tinkoff Bank continued toretain substantial liquidity:the CBR N2 ratio stood at85.6% (minimumrequirement: 15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was118.5% (minimumrequirement: 50%). Retail customer accounts constituted58% of total liabilities.
Total assetsincreased by44% y-o-y to RUB143.3bn.
As of 1September2015, total capital including retained profits (based on Form 123)amounted to RUB23.4bn. The CBR N1capital adequacy ratiowas13.5%. Both Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.2) were10.4%.
Note on RAS results
Please note that the figures in this press release are calculated in accordance with Tinkoff Bank's internal methodology which is available at: 
http://static.tinkoff.ru/documents/eng/investor-relations/ras-methodology.pdf
RAS results are not a reliable indicator of IFRS results due to significant accounting differences that make a direct read-across from RAS to IFRS results impossible. The main differences between RAS and IFRS are:
 Consolidated results under IFRS include a number of additional items and results of its subsidiaries
 Accrual of expenses under IFRS
 Timing differences in accounting for restructured loans ('instalments') and loans going through courts
 The effect from the revaluation of currency derivative instruments
 The effect of deferred income tax.
