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

   Moscow, Russia - 28 February 2018. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the
   "Group"), Russia's leading provider of online retail financial services via
   its Tinkoff.ru financial supermarket, today announces Tinkoff Bank's
   unaudited RAS financial highlights for January 2018.

    

   For the first month of 2018, net income stood at RUB 2.5bn versus RUB 1.7bn
   in January 2017, 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 167bn representing an increase
   of 38% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 142bn having increased
   by 40% y-o-y and constituted 53% of total assets (51% at year-end 2017). 

    

   Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 148bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to retain
   substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 56% (minimum requirement:
   15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 166% (minimum requirement: 50%). Retail
   customer accounts constituted 67% of total liabilities.

    

   Total assets increased by 58% y-o-y to RUB 266bn.

    

   As of 1 February 2018, total capital including retained profits (based on
   Form 123) amounted to RUB 60.3bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy
   ratio was 16.4%. Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) was 10.11% and Main
   Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.2) was 14.56%.

    

   Our strong January 2018 RAS results are driven by two major continuing
   trends:

    

   a)     an ongoing quality growth of our consumer finance business;

   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.
