StatementonTinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January-August 2016 
Moscow,Russia-19September2016.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-August2016.
For the first eight months of 2016, net incomestood at RUB5.1bn versus RUB 1.3bn in January-August 2015 which is attributed to the growth of net interest income and better quality of the loan portfolio.
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. Therefore, RAS figures should not be used as the basis for conclusions on forthcoming IFRS results.
The gross loan portfolio amounted to RUB 115.1bnrepresenting an increase of16% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB93.2bnhaving increased by 27% y-o-y and constituted59% of total assets (51% at year-end 2015).
Retail customer accountsincreased by46% y-o-y toRUB 105.5bn.Tinkoff Bank continued toretain substantial liquidity:the CBR N2 ratio stood at48.9% (minimumrequirement: 15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was176% (minimumrequirement: 50%). Retail customer accounts constituted78% of total liabilities.
Total assetsincreased by11% y-o-y to RUB159bn.
As of 1September2016, total capital including retained profits (based on Form 123)amounted to RUB26.9bn. The CBR N1capital adequacy ratiowas11.15%. Both Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.2) were7.34%.
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.
