Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January - February
2017
Moscow, Russia - 17 March 2017. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the 'Group'),
Russia's leading provider of online retail financial services, including
Tinkoff Bank and Tinkoff Insurance, today announces Tinkoff Bank's unaudited
RAS financial highlights for January - February 2017.
For the first two months of 2017, net income stood at RUB 3.2bn versus RUB
1.8bn in January-February 2016 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 123.7bn representing an increase of
19% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 102.6bn having increased by
26% y-o-y and constituted 60% of total assets (57% at year-end 2016).
Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 114.1bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to
retain substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 32% (minimum
requirement: 15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 162% (minimum requirement: 50%).
Retail customer accounts constituted 80% of total liabilities.
Total assets increased by 17% y-o-y to RUB 170.8bn.
As of 1 March 2017, total capital including retained profits (based on Form
123) amounted to RUB 30.2bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 12.08%.
Both Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio
(N1.2) were 8.63%.
Our strong February 2017 RAS results are driven by two major continuing
trends:
a) an ongoing quality growth of our consumer finance business, carrying on
from 2016;
b) a growing contribution from our non-credit fees-and-commission business
lines.
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.
