Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January-May 2015
Moscow, Russia - 17 June 2015. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI) (the "Group"), including Tinkoff Bank, Russia's leading provider of online retail financial services, today announces Tinkoff Bank's unaudited RAS financial highlights for January-May 2015.
For the first five months of 2015, net income stood at RUB 622 mln as a result of higher interest expenses, increased loan provisioning and losses from operations with foreign currencies due to the Russian Ruble devaluation. Tinkoff Bank had low FX exposure hedging its long-term liabilities with swaps. The difference in the revaluation of swaps and liabilities led to the FX losses.
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 and therefore RAS figures should not be used as the basis for conclusions on forthcoming IFRS results.
The gross loan portfolio amounted to RUB 95.7 bn representing an increase of 8% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 69.5 bn having decreased by 3% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio constituted 57% of total assets (63% at year-end 2014).
Retail customer accounts increased by 54% y-o-y and by 56% year-to-date to RUB 64.3 bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to retain substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 147.3% (minimum requirement: 15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 234.8% (minimum requirement: 50%). Retail customer accounts constituted 62% of total liabilities.
Total assets increased by 23% y-o-y to RUB 122 bn.
As of 1 May 2015, total capital including retained profits (based on Form 123) amounted to RUB 22.7 bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 14.4%. Both Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.2) were 11.5%.
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.
