   Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January - July 2017

   Moscow, Russia - 16 August 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 - July 2017.

    

   For the seven months of 2017, net income stood at RUB 10.2bn versus RUB 3.8bn
   in January-July 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 146bn representing an increase
   of 28% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 122bn having increased
   by 33% y-o-y and constituted 53% of total assets (57% at year-end 2016). 

    

   Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 132bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to retain
   substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 71% (minimum requirement:
   15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 165% (minimum requirement: 50%). Retail
   customer accounts constituted 68% of total liabilities.

    

   Total assets increased by 47% y-o-y to RUB 228bn.

    

   As of 1 August 2017, total capital including retained profits (based on Form
   123) amounted to RUB 52bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 17.05%. Core
   Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) was 9.03%. and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio
   (N1.2) was 14.31%.

    

   Our strong July 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.  

    

   In June 2017, TCS Finance D.A.C. successfully issued USD 300,000,000 9.25%
   perpetual callable loan participation notes and on-lent the proceeds from the
   issue to Tinkoff Bank. Following CBR approval, the issue was included into
   the calculation of Tinkoff Bank's statutory capital ratios starting July
   2017.

    

   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.
