Operational highlights

Fast growing customer base

Expanding digital footprint across the Group

Solid growth of our Georgian and Uzbek Payments businesses

The largest digital ecosystem in Georgia

Letter from the Chief Executive Officer[2]

After a highly successful 2022, we continued to deliver robust financial results in 1Q 2023. As a result, our net profit amounted to GEL 255 million, up by 14% year-on-year, while our return on equity stood at 25.2% and our return on assets was 3.6%. The macroeconomic environment was also supportive. After double-digit expansion for two consecutive years, the Georgian economy maintained its strong growth momentum with real GDP increasing by 7.2% in 1Q 2023. This growth was driven by strong inflows across the board, from net exports to tourism and remittances.

Our healthy capital generation enabled the Board to recommend a final dividend for 2022 of GEL 2.95 per share at the upcoming 2023 AGM which, together with the interim dividend paid in October 2022, equals a total dividend for 2022 of GEL 5.45 per share. In addition, we have completed a share buyback in the amount of c. GEL 50 million. This represents a 30% dividend payout ratio, supplemented by a buyback equivalent of c. 5%, bringing total distribution as a share of net profit to 35% for 2022.

A strong start to the year

In 1Q 2023, our operating income amounted to GEL 532 million, up by 29% year-on-year, driven by both interest and non-interest income. The growth in net interest income was led by an improved net interest margin, which increased by 0.8 pp year-on-year and reached 6.4% in 1Q 2023. Over the same period, net fee and commission income grew by an excellent 40% year-on-year, while other operating income[3] increased by 25%, mainly driven by FX operations.

Our asset quality also performed strongly, which translated into cost of risk of 1.1% in 1Q 2023, while the cost of risk for our Georgian operations was only 1.0%. Over the same period, the NPL ratio remained stable at 2.2%. At the same time, our cost to income ratio improved by 2.3 pp year-on-year and amounted to 34.3% on the back of positive operating jaws.

In terms of balance sheet growth, our loan book increased by 17% year-on-year in constant currency terms, mainly driven by the retail and MSME segments, translating into a total loan market share of 39.1% in Georgia. Over the same period, customer deposits increased by 28% in constant currency terms, leading to a total deposit market share of 39.3% in Georgia.

Our liquidity and capital positions remain strong. Our CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios under the new IFRS methodology adopted by the NBG stood at 17.7%, 20.1% and 22.2%, respectively, and remained comfortably above the minimum regulatory requirements by 3.4 pp, 3.4 pp and 2.5 pp, accordingly. At the same time, we continued to operate at high liquidity with our net stable funding (NSFR) and liquidity coverage (LCR) ratios standing at 131% and 136%, respectively, as of 31 March 2023 under the new IFRS methodology.

Growing customer base and digital engagement driven by our profitable Uzbek fintechs

We continued to grow our customer base across the group, with retail monthly active users (MAU) exceeding 5 million by the end of March 2023, out of which our Uzbek customers accounted for around 70%, compared to 3.5 million a year ago. In terms of digital engagement, the number of digital MAU also grew significantly and reached 4.4 million at the Group level, up by 56% year-on-year, driven by Uzbek operations which are fully digital. This resulted in a group DAU/MAU ratio of 32% as of March 2023, while the DAU/MAU ratio for the Georgian business stood at 44%.

Importantly, after reaching breakeven in 3Q 2022, our Uzbek fintech businesses (TBC UZ and Payme) continued to generate positive returns with their combined net profit amounting to GEL 12.7 million for 1Q 2023, while return on equity stood at an excellent 28.1%. Moreover, we are delighted to announce that TBC UZ became profitable on a standalone monthly basis at the beginning of 2023, after just two years of operations.

We also achieved strong results on the balance sheet side in Uzbekistan. In 1Q 2023, TBC UZ retail loans amounted to GEL 408 million, up by 17% quarter-on-quarter, which translated into retail micro loan market share[4] of 10.8%. Over the same period, retail deposits reached GEL 384 million, up by 16% quarter-on-quarter, accounting for 2.5% of the retail deposit market share4. In parallel, we continued to expand our Uzbek payments business, Payme, which grew its payments volume by 57% year-on-year, reaching GEL 2.2 billion.

Launching the first Georgian supper app

I am also pleased to report that our digital ecosystem TNET launched the first super app in the country in late March 2023. Currently, the app combines two lifestyle platforms (TKT.ge and Swoop) and one e-commerce platform (Vendoo) into a single consumer app. Over time, other TNET platforms will also be integrated into the super app. I am confident that with its high customer base of 1.5 million MAU, TNET has great potential to become a must-have app for Georgians in the years to come and to make a positive contribution to the Group's fee and commission income and retail loan generation. In 1Q 2023, TNET continued to generate strong growth, with its gross merchandise value doubling year-on-year to reach GEL 30 million.

Looking ahead

Finally, I would like to reiterate our medium-term targets: ROE of above 20%, a cost to income ratio below 35%, a dividend payout ratio of 25-35%, and annual loan growth of around 10-15%. We also aim for our Uzbek operations to contribute 10-15% of the Group's net profit and to achieve 7 million active monthly users at the Group level in the medium-term.

Economic Overview

Economic growth

After expanding by 10.1% in 2022, economic growth in Georgia started to normalise in the first quarter of 2023. According to Geostat's estimates, real GDP grew by 7.2% on average in the first quarter of 2023.

External sector

Despite lower international commodity prices, which negatively affected both exports and imports, external sector activity still remained strong in 1Q 2023. Specifically, exports and imports increased by 24.7% and 21.0% YoY, respectively. The price dynamics especially affected domestic commodity exports, while re-exports maintained at strong performance. On the imports side, investment goods constituted a considerable share of imports, indicating positive investment sentiment. The terms of trade remained broadly stable, supporting economic growth and the GEL.

Having the highest growth contribution, tourism inflows adjusted for the migration impact by the NBG, increased by a remarkable 102.0% YoY in 1Q 2023. Remittances also maintained robust growth even after adjustment for Russia, expanding by 35.1%[5] YoY over the same period. FDIs slowed down in 4Q 2022 and decreased by 21.2% YoY, though, for the full year 2022, FDIs still increased by an impressive 61.1% YoY. Importantly, higher FDI levels not only arose on the back of reinvested earnings but were also due to much stronger additional equity investments.

Fiscal stimulus

The fiscal stimulus, although still sizable, negatively affected growth in 2021 as the deficit amounted to around 6.3% of GDP, after an expansionary 9.3% of GDP in 2020. In 2022, the deficit was even lower, at 2.5%. According to the Ministry of Finance, fiscal consolidation is expected to take place in the coming years with deficit-to-GDP ratios of 2.8% and 2.3% in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Credit growth

As of March 2023, bank credit increased by 13.8% YoY, against 12.1% growth at the end of 2022, at constant exchange rates. Amid moderation in inflation, the real credit growth strengthened even more from 2.3% YoY in December 2022 to 8.3% at the end of March 2023.

Inflation, monetary policy, and the exchange rate

The US$/GEL exchange rate continued its strong performance, further appreciating to 2.50 at the end of April from 2.68 by the end of 2022, on the back of strong external inflows, coupled with tight monetary policy and improved sentiments. 

As a result of a stronger GEL and disinflationary pass-through from international markets, CPI inflation declined sharply from 9.8% at the end of 2022 to 2.7% in April 2023. While the import component caused headline inflation to cool down significantly, the NBG kept its monetary policy rate at 11% throughout the quarter, cutting the rate by 0.5% only in May following the evidence of cooling in underlying measures such as domestic inflation.

Going forward

After double-digit growth for two years in a row, the consensus projection indicates that growth will normalize in 2023 with the IMF, the World Bank and the NBG projecting 4% real GDP growth and the Georgian government, 5%. According to TBC Capital's projections, the economy is expected to grow by around 6% in 2023.

Financial Highlights

* Numbers are calculated per the new IFRS methodology. The numbers as of 31-Dec-2022 are pro forma.

* Ratios are calculated per the new IFRS methodology. The ratios as of 4Q 2022 are pro forma.

Net Interest Income

In 1Q 2023, net interest income amounted to GEL 366.8 million, up by 27.1% and 2.6% on a YoY and QoQ basis, respectively.

The YoY rise in interest income of GEL 144.4 million, or 27.4%, was mostly attributable to an increase in interest income from loans related to a rise in the respective yield by 1.6 pp, as well as an increase in the loan portfolio of GEL 1,001.1 million, or 5.8%.

The QoQ increase in interest income of GEL 27.2 million, or 4.2%, was mainly related to an increase in interest income from loans related to a 0.3 pp rise in the respective loan yield, as well as an increase in the loan portfolio of GEL 116.4 million, or 0.6%. Another contributor to the interest income was the increased portfolio of investment securities as well as increased yield.

Interest expense increased by GEL 66.2 million, or 27.7%, on a YoY basis, mainly related to an increase in the deposit portfolio of GEL 2,216.2 million, or 14.7%, and a 1.2 pp growth in deposit costs.

On a QoQ basis, interest expense increased by GEL 17.8 million, or 6.2%, primarily driven by the increased average portfolio in 1Q 2023 compared to 4Q 2022, as well as higher deposit rates in up by 0.6 pp in 1Q.

In 1Q 2023, our NIM stood at 6.4%, up by 0.8 pp and 0.1 pp on YoY and QoQ basis, respectively.

* Interest expense includes net interest gains from currency swaps

Non-Interest Income

In 1Q 2023, total non-interest income increased by 33.2% on a YoY basis and decreased by 33.0% on a QoQ basis, amounting to GEL 165.4 million.

Net fee and commission income increased by an excellent 40.3% YoY and decreased by 3.0% on a QoQ basis. The YoY increase was mainly related to increased payments transactions, while the quarterly decrease was related to the seasonally low activity in 1Q 2023. Importantly, our Uzbek operations contributed around 18% to the Group net fee & commission income.

In 1Q 2023, net gains from FX operations increased by 26.6% on a YoY basis, while they decreased on a QoQ basis. The annual increase was related to a high volume of transactions and a wider spread, while the quarterly decrease was related to the normalisation of the high base in 4Q 2022.

Net insurance profit in 1Q 2023 increased by 45.7% YoY, while it decreased by 24.3% on a QoQ basis. The annual increase in net insurance premium was mainly related to business growth, while the quarterly decrease was mainly driven by increased losses and in motor insurance products, caused by the inflationary effect on repair costs. 

Credit Loss Allowance

Credit loss allowance for loans in 1Q 2023 amounted to GEL 50.0 million. In 1Q 2023, cost of risk was within our normalised range of 1% for Georgian operations, resulting in 1.1% at the Group level.

Operating Expenses

In 1Q 2023, our operating expenses expanded by 21.1% on a YoY basis and decreased by 8.8% on a QoQ basis.

The YoY increase was mainly driven by an overall expansion of business, while the QoQ decrease was largely attributable to the seasonally high base in 4Q 2022.

Our cost to income ratio amounted to 34.3%, while the Bank's standalone cost to income stood at 28.8%.

Net Profit

In 1Q 2023, our income tax expenses increased on a YoY and decreased on a QoQ basis and amounted to GEL 41.3 million. The YoY increase was related to the increased tax rate due to changes in the taxation model in Georgia, as well as increased profit for the period, while the QoQ decrease was related to a one-off income tax expense in 4Q 2022, in the amount of GEL 112.9 million.

Our net profit increased by 13.8% and 13.9% on a YoY and QoQ basis, respectively and amounted GEL 255 million. Without the one-off tax charge mentioned above, net profit would have decreased by 24.3% on a QoQ basis.

As a result, in 1Q 2023 our ROE stood at 25.2%, while our ROA reached 3.6%.

Funding and Liquidity

As of 31 March 2023, the total liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), as defined by the NBG per the new IFRS methodology, was 135.7%, above the 100% limit, while the LCR in GEL and FC stood at 164.2% and 116.5%, accordingly, above the respective limits of 75% and 100%.

Over the same period, the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), as defined by the NBG per the new IFRS methodology, stood at 131.3%, compared to the regulatory limit of 100%.

* Ratios are calculated per the new IFRS methodology. The ratios as of 31-Dec-2022 are pro forma.

Regulatory Capital

As of 31 March 2023, our CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios stood at 17.7%, 20.1% and 22.2%, respectively, and remained above the minimum regulatory requirements by 3.4 pp, 3.4 pp and 2.5 pp, accordingly, per the new IFRS methodology.

The QoQ decrease of our capital adequacy ratios was mainly driven by accrual of pending dividends and group investments, which were partly offset by GEL appreciation and net profit generation.

Ratios and numbers are calculated per the new IFRS methodology. The ratios and numbers as of 31-Dec-2022 are pro forma.

Loan Portfolio

As of 31 March 2022, the gross loan portfolio reached GEL 18,321.3 million, up by 5.8% YoY and 0.6% QoQ, or up by 17.3% YoY and 3.0% QoQ on a constant currency basis.

The proportion of gross loans denominated in foreign currency decreased by 4.9 pp YoY and increased by 0.7 pp on a YoY and QoQ basis and accounted for 48.9% of total loans. On a constant currency basis, the proportion of gross loans denominated in foreign currency increased by 0.1 pp on a YoY basis and stood at 53.9%.

Loan Portfolio Quality

PAR 30 ratio increased on a QoQ and YoY basis. The increase was mainly attributable to two exposures in the CIB segment, one of which was resolved as of April 2023, while the other of which is expected to be resolved in May 2023.

Total non-performing loans (NPL) remained stable on a QoQ basis and improved on a YoY basis, across all segments. In MSME, the main driver of YoY improvement was SME sub-segment.

 * Total NPL coverage ratio includes provision and collateral coverage.

Cost of Risk

In 1Q 2023, cost of risk was within our normalised range of 1% for Georgian operations, resulting in 1.1% at the Group level.

The increase in MSME CoR was related to the micro unsecured loan portfolio, while the Uzbek portfolio contribution to the total retail cost of risk was 0.2 pp.

Deposits Portfolio

The total deposits portfolio amounted to GEL 17,297.6 million, up by 14.7% YoY and down by 4.1% QoQ, or up by 28.1% YoY and down by 1.4% QoQ on a constant currency basis.
