   Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January - December
   2018

   Moscow, Russia - 01 February 2019. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the
   "Group"), Russia's leading provider of online financial and lifestyle
   services via its Tinkoff.ru ecosystem, today announces Tinkoff Bank's
   unaudited RAS financial highlights for January - December 2018.

    

   For the twelve months of 2018, net income stood at RUB 17bn, which is
   attributed to the growth of net interest income, lower cost of funding,
   improved quality of the loan portfolio and growth of revenue from new
   business lines.

    

   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 248bn representing an increase
   of 53% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 206bn having increased
   by 50% y-o-y and constituted 53% of total assets (51% at year-end 2017). 

    

   Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 234bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to retain
   substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 45% (minimum requirement:
   15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 130% (minimum requirement: 50%). Retail
   customer accounts constituted 69% of total liabilities.

    

   Total assets increased by 44% y-o-y to RUB 386bn.

    

   As of 1 January 2019, total capital including retained profits (based on Form
   123) amounted to RUB 74.4bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 13.91%.
   Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) was 9.41% and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio
   (N1.2) was 13.21%.

    

    

   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.
