CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report a record 2014 full year profit of GEL 240.8 million, up 15.0%, supported by record revenue of GEL 605.6 million and earnings per share of GEL 6.85, up 15.5%. Our 2014 performance is in line with our stated 3x20 strategy. Most importantly the return on our shareholders' equity was 19.0%, customer lending grew by 23.8% during the year and our capital position is solid with a 22.1% Tier 1 capital ratio under Basel 1. These results reflect a continuing strong performance in each of our core banking and investment management businesses, demonstrating excellent customer lending growth with improving margins, balance sheet strength and strong profitability, together with substantial further progress in our healthcare and real estate businesses.
This full year performance was supported by a strong fourth quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2014, customer lending grew by 13.9%, the net interest margin increased by 20 basis points to 7.6%, and revenues increased by 8.6%. Costs remained well controlled, with positive operating leverage of 2.9 percentage points, and asset quality remained good with a cost of risk in the quarter of 1.2% and the NPL to gross loans ratio falling to 3.4% at the end of the year.
I would particularly like to highlight the main drivers of the strong 2014 results that also reflect the effectiveness of our strategy. Firstly, in our banking businesses we delivered 23.8% customer lending growth (17.7% excluding exchange rate effects) with strong performances in both the retail and corporate businesses. In particular, customer lending in the final quarter of the year increased by 13.9%. Secondly, we achieved strong net non-interest income growth, up 13.6% during the year, driven by our Retail Banking and Investment Management strategies. Thirdly, our Healthcare revenue more than doubled during the year, driven by both organic growth and the impact of recent acquisitions.
These positive revenue developments are the fruits of the key strategic initiatives we have put in place over the last few years. Along with the expansion of our Retail Banking business through our Express Banking and payment systems strategies, the development of our Investment Management business has delivered a significantly increased contribution in net fee and commission income.
Our Investment Management strategy is a timely response to developments in the corporate landscape and the start of the development of the Georgian capital markets. With this move, we have enhanced our fee generating business that we have uniquely positioned to build upon the success of our wealth management and research services and our extensive coverage of the corporate client base in Georgia.
We are also pleased to see substantial benefits of our strategy for our healthcare business - Georgia Healthcare Group, which now combines our two healthcare-related businesses (healthcare services and health insurance) into an integrated whole. In our healthcare services business we progressed further in terms of our M&A activity by acquiring eight new hospitals with a total number of 850 beds throughout the country, markedly strengthening our footprint in this market over the last 12 months. While we have not yet fully realised the synergies from these acquisitions, we have nevertheless reported a 62.8% healthcare services revenue growth, and a 146.6% healthcare services profit growth. This business is now extremely well positioned for its planned international stock market listing in the second half of 2015.
Strategy Going Forward:
Towards the end of 2014, the Board conducted a business review to ensure that returns produced by the Group are sustainable in longer run and that the capital is allocated accordingly. As a result of this review the Group's strategy was upgraded from "3x20" to "4x20". Let me address the updated strategy and the logic behind the change:
1. Return-on-Equity of circa. 20% in the banking business
Due to superior returns in Retail Banking, we expect Retail business to continue to drive the banking business ROAE. The recent acquisition of Privatbank is in line with our updated strategy to further strengthen our growing payments business as well as capture synergies by merging Privatbank with our existing Express Banking franchise.
In Corporate Banking returns are below our targeted 20% level. Therefore, we intend to step-up our advisory business through our investment banking arm and start developing capital markets in Georgia in order to enhance the overall Banking ROAE.
2. Tier 1 Capital circa. 20%
We are committed to growing our banking business while maintaining its existing strong capitalisation. We aim to maintain capitalisation levels consistent with the Bank's existing target of greater than 20% Tier 1 under Basel I. The Bank's strong internal capital generation will continue to support loan growth without compromising capital ratios.
3. Growth of circa. 20% in retail customer lending
Bank of Georgia's Retail net loan book has grown at a CAGR of 22.9% from 2009 to 2014 and management remains committed to 20% growth in its retail customer lending. In addition to the abovementioned growth of our Retail Banking business, the Privatbank acquisition will significantly enhance our retail customer franchise as well as increase our distribution network. With this acquisition we will be adding 400,000 retail customers and 4.9% market share in retail loans.
4. Internal Rate of Return of minimum 20% for our investment businesses
As access to equity capital is limited in a small economy like Georgia, the risk/return profile of equity investments in Georgian corporates is more attractive than that of corporate lending business. In view of the Group's successful track record in turning around its healthcare and real estate businesses and the good risk/return profile of equity investments in Georgia, the Board decided to pursue selective opportunities to invest in Georgian corporates with the aim of divestment (in full or partially) within 6 years. The minimum target IRR on such investments will be 20%. In view of updated strategy the group recently completed the acquisition of a minority interest in Georgian Global Utilities, a Tbilisi water utility company with 143 MW hydropower facilities. The Group has purchased a 25% stake initially, with an option to step up to 49.9% stake during 2015.
In December 2014, the Group completed a successful capital raising of US$114 million, representing 10 per cent of the Group's share capital, to enable a number of acquisitions to be made to support the Group's evolving strategy.
Macroeconomic Outlook:
From a macroeconomic perspective, Georgia delivered strong GDP growth in 2014, at an estimated 4.7%. This was a particularly robust performance against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical concerns and macroeconomic and currency devaluation pressures in many of Georgia's trading partners, and demonstrates the resilience of the Georgian economy. It is noteworthy that strong contribution to GDP growth came from an increase of private investments, up 27.2% in first three quarters of 2014. Nevertheless, USD strengthened against Georgian Lari, but the US Dollar appreciation was stronger against other regional currencies. During 2014, Lari depreciated 7.3% against the US dollar, but appreciated by 5.3% against the Euro, the single largest trading partner currency of Georgia. Inflation has remained subdued, at 2.0%, as falling oil prices and weaker Euro, in particular, have helped the economy to contain inflationary pressures.
Even though the Georgian economy is well diversified and resilient to external shocks, we believe growth in 2015 will be affected by the weak regional economies. Therefore, we are revising our GDP growth targets for 2015 to be within 1.5% - 3% range. At the same time, strengthening of Real Effective Exchange Rate over the past one to two years suggests Lari correction of 5-10%. We are adjusting our risk management to reflect this revised macroeconomic outlook and, whilst there has not yet been any deterioration in asset quality, over the next 12 months we expect our Cost of Risk to be above our medium term target of 1.0-1.5%.
Dividend:
At the 2015 AGM the Board intends to recommend an annual dividend of GEL 2.1 per share payable in British Sterling at the prevailing rate. This represents an increase of 5%, compared to the annual dividend of GEL 2.0 per share last year.

We delivered record revenue of GEL 605.6 million, up 11.3% y-o-y, as a result of maintained resilient growth momentum across all the major business lines in 2014. The robust performance was fuelled primarily by solid growth of the loan portfolio coupled with our continued focus on liability optimisation aimed at interest expense reduction. Additionally, fee and commission income also picked up significantly due to the expansion of our Express Banking footprint and investment management operations. Finally, our healthcare business also made a significant contribution, increasing 109.6% y-o-y, in line with our strategy to increase the scale of our healthcare business.
We delivered record net interest income for 2014 driven by the combined effect of high 'teens growth in lending and a 100 basis point cut in the Cost of Funding. Net interest income totalled GEL 344.1 million, up 9.5% y-o-y and driven by a 3.6% increase in interest income to GEL 594.9 million and a 3.4% decline in interest expense to GEL 250.9 million. Interest income grew primarily due to a 3.3% increase in interest income from loans to customers reaching GEL 540.0 million driven by a 17.7% increase in average net loans to customers, which more than offset 190 bps decline in the Loan Yield to 14.4% in 2014. The Loan Yield was impacted by strong competitive pressures driven by the high level of liquidity in the banking sector during the year, although our liquidity levels started to decline in the second-half of the year as a result of a significant pick-up in lending, translating into largely flat Loan Yield in Q4 2014 on q-o-q basis.
Interest expense declined, despite a 17.0% y-o-y increase in average interest bearing liabilities - a result of our intensified liability optimisation efforts during the year that drove Cost of Funding 100 bps lower year-on-year to 4.9%. The decline in the Cost of Funding was supported by a significant cost reduction in all respective items of interest bearing liabilities - Cost of Client Deposits, Cost of Amounts due to Credit Institutions and Cost of Debt Securities decreased 130 bps, 120 bps and 60 bps, respectively. The sharp decline in Cost of Client Deposits had the largest impact on the reduction in interest expense - despite an 8.9% increase in average client deposits, a corresponding balance sheet item. This decline was partly offset by a 53.7% increase in interest expense to debt securities to GEL 54.4 million as a result of an issue of Eurobonds in Q4 2013, which increased the corresponding average balance sheet item by 67.0% y-o-y.

2 Excess liquidity is the excess amount of liquid assets, as defined per NBG, which exceeds the minimal amount of the same liquid assets for the purposes of the minimal 30% liquidity ratio per NBG definitions
The NIM at 7.4% in 2014 was comfortably maintained within our target of 7% - 7.5%. It was down slightly by 40 bps y-o-y, reflecting the competitive pressures on Loan Yields driven by high level of liquidity in the banking sector during 2014. Our NIM of 7.4% in 2014 was a result of average interest earning assets growing faster than net interest income, coupled with decreasing yields (Loan Yield down 190 bps and Liquid Asset Yield down 20 bps) which were partially offset by declining Cost of Funding (down 100 bps). As mentioned above, our liquidity levels started to decline in the second-half of the year as a result of a significant pick-up in lending which reduced NIM pressure during the second half.

We posted a record net fee and commission income of GEL 99.7 million in 2014, delivering growth of 14.7% y-o-y.This robust growth reflects the ongoing success of our Express Banking strategy, which resulted in the addition of over 200,000 Retail Banking clients, mostly emerging mass market customers, and triggered a significant increase in the volume of banking transactions. The increase - in line with the Express Banking strategy - has predominantly come through cost-effective remote channels. Fee and commission expense increased 16.2% to GEL 32.8 million as a result of fees related to client acquisition costs within the Express Banking strategy. Another factor contributing to the y-o-y increase in fee expenses was the outsourcing of the Bank's cash collection service (GEL 2.2 million in 2014), the costs of which effectively shifted from salaries and other employee benefits to fee and commission expense. The Investment Management business also increased its contribution to our net fee and commission income.

Our healthcare business further strengthened its market leader position in 2014 and enjoys a market share of 22.0% in terms of hospital beds as of 31 December 2014 (14.3% as of 31 December 2013). Our net healthcare revenue increased 109.6% y-o-y to GEL 46.9 million in 2014. The increase was driven by the strong performance of our healthcare operations, growing organically as well as through acquisitions. Furthermore, government-funded universal healthcare programme (the Universal Healthcare Programme or UHC) favorably affected our healthcare business results. Finally, as the management shifts its focus to integrating the acquired facilities, it expects to realise significant synergies by upgrading the facilities, centralising the back-office functions and bringing their operational performance in line with the internal targets.
As anticipated, UHC had a negative effect on the health insurance businesses, which has over recent years been significant component of our insurance business. UHC resulted in a structural shift of private insurers' revenues that had previously come from state to the UHC system (and away from the private insurance companies). Furthermore, the shift of revenue to the UHC system did not immediately result in the elimination of associated costs, including insurance claims incurred.As anticipated, this has had a negative effect on the health insurance businesses. Notwithstanding these changes, our health insurance business strengthened its position in the market and accounted for 36.7% of the total health insurance sector in Georgia based on gross premiums revenue as of 30 September 2014, up from 28.9% as of 31 December 2013.

We benefited from completion of our second real estate project in 2014.Other operating non-interest income increased 13.2% to GEL 85.5 million, primarily as a result of nearly a threefold increase in real estate income to GEL 15.8 million. Real estate revenue predominantly comprises revenue from the sale of apartments in the second project of m2 Real Estate, following completion of construction works as well as the handover of apartments. Net gain from foreign currencies is the second largest contributor to our other operating non-interest income and also increased to GEL 49.6 million, up 14.0% as a result of increased economic activity and higher volatility of Georgian Lari, which significantly increased the number of foreign currency transactions. The growth was also supported by a 34.9% increase in other operating income to GEL 17.9 million, which predominantly consists of revenue from the Bank's wine making subsidiary Teliani Valley.
The robust growth was partially offset by a decline in net gain from trading and investment securities from GEL 3.1 million to GEL 0.4 million, which comprises realised gains from investment securities consisting of Government issued securities. Net gain from revaluation of investment property, which has declined from GEL 9.8 million in 2013 to GEL 1.9 million in 2014, comprises almost entirely revaluation of properties that m2 Real Estate has earmarked for development.

Our non-banking businesses scaled up significantly in 2014 and this is reflected in our operating expenses. Our operating expenses increased 15.4% driven by a 13.9% increase in salaries & other employment benefits to GEL 153.8 million and a 21.2% increase in general & administrative expenses to GEL 73.2 million. The increase in operating expenses was principally driven by the growth of our healthcare business, which continues to expand organically as well as through acquisitions. As a result of this expansion, the healthcare business headcount increased by 1,280 or 19.0% during the reporting period, pushing up costs. The effect is magnified in 2014 since the post-acquisition synergies have not yet been fully realised and cost synergies are expected mainly in the areas of procurement, process standardisation and payroll, as benchmarked against our internal targets. Bank of Georgia's standalone headcount, has increased at a more modest rate of 5.5% to 3,769 employees but an increase in the number of senior managers eligible for share based compensation resulted in higher salaries and other employee benefits expenses. Growth of operating expenses was also impacted by an expanded Corporate Social Responsibility programme that entails initiatives promoting education, conserving nature and supporting children with disabilities. Our Investment Management business, which is gearing up to build its corporate advisory business, also put upward pressure on costs during the reporting period.
As a result, our Cost to Income ratio increased 160 bps to 42.8% in 2014. However, Cost to Income improved in second half of the year, reaching 41.3% in Q4 2014. As the restructuring and integration process within our healthcare business nears completion, the Cost to Income ratio is expected to continue its recent downward trend. As a result of the foregoing, operating income before cost of credit risk increased 8.4% y-o-y to GEL 346.6 million.
Our asset quality has improved significantly as a result of further economic growth and our continuing prudent risk management policies. Cost of credit risk declined 4.5% to GEL 59.0 million in 2014. The increase in impairment of loans reflects the growth of the loan book, particularly in Retail Banking. As a result, our Cost of Risk improved to 1.2% in 2014, a 20 bps decrease from 1.4% in 2013. Cost of credit risk also reflects the new provisioning methodology the Bank implemented in January 2014. The overall effect of the new methodology was largely immaterial as its positive impact on the Retail Banking cost of credit risk was only slightly more than a small negative impact on the Corporate Banking cost of credit risk.
NPL coverage adjusted for the discounted value of collateral stood at a comfortable level of 111.1% as of 31 December 2014 compared to 112.4% as of 30 September 2014 and 110.6% as of 31 December 2013. The Bank's non-performing loans (NPLs), defined as the principal and interest on the overdue loans for more than 90 days and additional potential losses estimated by management, increased 6.0% y-o-y to GEL 153.6 million as of 31 December 2014 - lower than the growth of the gross loan book. The Group's NPLs to Gross Loans to Clients ratio as a result declined from 4.0% as of 31 December 2013 to 3.4% as of 31 December 2014. The NPL Coverage ratio stood at 68.0%, compared to 83.8% as of 31 December 2013, the decline predominantly reflects increased write-offs in 2014.
The Group's net operating income before non-recurring items for 2014 totalled GEL 287.6 million, up 11.4% y-o-y. The Bank's net non-recurring items for the period decreased to GEL 11.0 million and included full impairment of the Bank's legacy investment in BG Bank in Ukraine (approximately GEL 3.8 million).
As a result, profit before income tax in 2014 totalled GEL 276.6 million, up 12.8% y-o-y. After deducting income tax expense of GEL 35.8 million, the Group's 2014 profit for the period stood at GEL 240.8 million, up 15.0% compared to 2014.
[1] Thenew provisioning methodology is based on statistical assessment of Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) for each loan type. Management believes that the new methodology will allow better allocation of Cost of Risk between different products. The overall impact of the change in methodology on the provisioning rate and on the financial statements for this period is not material. The new methodology was developed in consultation with Deloitte, who also provided the respectively integrated IT solution.
Balance Sheet highlights
Our balance sheet remained liquid (NBG Liquidity ratio of 35.0%) and well-capitalised (BIS Tier I of 22.1%) with a diversified funding base (Client Deposits to Liabilities of 55.6%). The y-o-y change in the composition of the balance sheet reflects strong growth of lending in the second half of 2014, particularly in Retail Banking, which drove net loans up by 23.8% to GEL 4,360.7 million. The pick-up in lending decreased the share of liquid assets to total assets to a comfortable level of 25.0% as at 31 December 2014 from 29.5% as at 31 December 2013, when the liquidity pool was significantly higher due to an issue of Eurobonds in Q4 2013. Our assets increased 16.5% y-o-y to GEL 7,598.9 million.
The Bank funded its growth predominantly through the excess liquidity. Additionally, more focus was placed on attracting cheaper Development Financial Institutions (DFI)funds in order to further reduce the Cost of Fundingand as a result we prepaid GEL 114.0 million of DFI funding in 2014 with cheaper funds. As a result, the share of amounts due to credit institutions to total liabilities increased from 21.9% to 23.6%, with the share of client deposits to total liabilities declining from 58.8% to 55.6%. Cost of Funding improved by 100 bps to a record low of 4.9% on the back of a significant increase in interest bearing liabilities by 31 December 2014, which were up 12.0% y-o-y. The Group's total liabilities increased 13.0% to GEL 5,964.8 million.
Total equity attributable to the shareholders of the Group stood at GEL 1,574.1 million, up 33.1% y-o-y, reflecting additional GEL 215.7 million equity raised in December 2014 through the issue of new ordinary shares to existing and new institutional investors representing up to 9.99% of BGH's issued share capital. The Bank's book value per share on 31 December 2014 stood at GEL 41.45 (US$22.24/GBP14.33), compared to GEL 34.85 (US$20.07/GBP12.18) as of 31 December 2013.

We maintained a strong liquidity position while at the same time deploying a large portion of our excess liquid assets into loans in 2014. The deployment of liquid assets into loans in the second half of 2014 led to a 1.2% y-o-y decline in liquid assets. Consequently, the NBG liquidity ratio decreased to 35.0% from 45.7% at the end of 2013, against a regulatory requirement of 30.0%. The pick-up in lending during the period also resulted in a Net Loans to Customer Funds ratio of 130.6% compared to 113.0% a year ago. Net Loans to Customer Funds and DFIs ratio, closely observed by management, stood at 110.6% compared to 96.2% as of 31 December 2013.
The Bank's Tier I ratio (BIS) stood at a robust 22.1%, compared to 22.7% as of 30 September 2014 and 23.0% as of 31 December 2013. Risk weighted assets increased 23.1% y-o-y to GEL 6,253.0 million, reflecting the increase in the loan book during the year, while Tier I Capital (BIS) increased 18.1% to GEL 1,381.8 million. The Bank's NBG Tier I Capital Adequacy Ratio calculated according to new regulations based on Basel 2/3 stood at 11.1% compared to11.2% as of 30 September 2014. For information on the regulatory changes on capital requirements see Annex II on page 47.

1 For the net healthcare revenue disclosures please see the Healthcare Business segment discussion
We delivered record quarterly revenue of GEL 168.7 million in Q4 2014, up 17.5% y-o-y and 8.6% q-o-q. The y-o-y growth was predominantly driven by a solid increase in net interest income, net fee and commission income and strong performance of our healthcare services business.
On a y-o-y basis, net interest income increased 16.4% to GEL 97.3 million, which is a result of interest income growth by 10.9% to GEL 161.7 million primarily driven by a 10.1% increase in interest income from loans to GEL 146.8 million. The main driving force of robust performance was a 21.5% increase in the average net loan book to GEL 4,061.6 million in Q4 2014, which far outweighed the negative impact of the decline in the Loan Yield, down 170 bps to 14.1%. Interest income from liquid assets (investment securities and amounts due from credit institutions) increased markedly, by 30.4% driven by a significant increase of 70 bps in the Liquid Asset Yield coupled with a 2.7% increase in the corresponding average balance sheet item. Interest expense grew by 3.6% to GEL 64.4 million as a result of 14.6% increase in average interest bearing liabilities partially offset by 50 bps decrease in Cost of Funding. This increase was due to the issue of Eurobonds in Q4 2013, the cost of which was only partially included in Q4 2013 interest expense.
On a q-o-q basis, net interest income growth of 12.5% was driven by strong growth of the average loan book, which increased 9.8% in Q4 2014, resulting in a 9.0% increase in interest income from loans. The 6.5% decline in average liquid assets following strong customer lending also had a positive impact on the Liquid Asset Yield, which increased 40 bps and resulted in a 6.8% increase in interest income from liquid assets. The interest expense increase of 3.8% was mostly driven by amounts due to customers as a result of a 3.8% increase in average client deposits on the back of a flat Cost of Client Deposits.
Net fee and commission income increased 13.8% y-o-y to GEL 26.3 million as a result of expansion of the Bank's Express banking service. Net fee & commission income decreased on q-o-q basis by 3.7% largely due to the impact of the transaction fee for Galt & Taggart's M&A deal posted in Q3 2014. The bank's healthcare business also recorded strong results in Q4 2014. Net healthcare revenue increased 75.1% y-o-y and 16.8% q-o-q to GEL 14.6 million as it continues to expand organically and through acquisitions. Income from real estate, which comprises predominantly revenue from sale of m2 Real Estate properties and income from operating leases, decreased 19.4% q-o-q and 7.5% y-o-y to GEL 1.8 million. This is due to the handover of apartments in completed project of m2 Real Estate nearing completion -most of the apartments were handed over in Q4 2013 and 9M 2014.
Net gain from foreign currencies increased 61.8% y-o-y and 18.5% q-o-q driven by the increased economic activity and higher volatility of Georgian Lari.

1 Daily averages are used for calculation of average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities
2 Excess liquidity is the excess amount of the liquid assets, as defined per NBG, which exceeds the minimum amount of the same liquid assets for the purposes of the minimal 30% liquidity ratio per NBG definitions.
On q-o-q basis, the NIM improved by 20 bps to 7.6% as a result of net interest income growth of 12.5% that outweighed a 9.8% increase in average interest earning assets. This was due to a robust growth of the loan book, up 9.8% q-o-q on the back of a significantly decreased liquidity pool. Lower liquidity also provided substantial support for asset yields - Loan Yield decreased 20 bps q-o-q to14.1% and Liquid Asset Yield increased 40 bps to 3.0%. Interest bearing liabilities also increased 3.2% on q-o-q basis to support increased lending on the back of flat Cost of Funding of 4.8% in Q4 2014.
On y-o-y basis however, the NIM declined by 40 bps as the 16.4% increase in net interest income lagged behind the 22.2% increase in average interest earning assets. This was largely due to a 170 bps y-o-y decline in the Loan Yield, which is partially offset by a 50 bps y-o-y decline in the Cost of Funding. The NIM was positively impacted by the growth of higher yielding Retail Banking loans in the total loan portfolio.

Cost discipline, reflected in improved Cost to Income ratio (41.3%) and positive Operating Leverage (1.6%).On y-o-y basis, the Group's operating expenses increased 15.9% to GEL 69.7 million in Q4 2014 predominantly as a result of a 13.8% growth of salaries and employee benefits to GEL 40.6 million and a 20.5% increase in general and administrative expenses to GEL 20.7 million. The growth of expenses was primarily fuelled by the Group's non-banking businesses, particularly its healthcare business which significantly increased its headcount over the past year, from 6,316 healthcare employees to 7,697. The increase in headcount and associated costs follows a string of acquisitions over the last year period, while synergies have not yet been fully realised. The y-o-y increase in operating expenses was also affected by the increase in the number of senior managers eligible for the Group's share based compensation (non-cash bonus), which translated into the increase in salaries and employee benefits, albeit largely flat standalone headcount of the Bank on year-on-year basis. The new initiatives within our Investment Management business aimed at expanding our fee generating businesses, as well as our expanded Corporate Social Responsibility programme, also contributed to the increased operating expenses.
On q-o-q basis, operating expenses increased as a result of a 15.8% increase in general and administrative expenses, which was mainly attributed to increased marketing and corporate hospitality expenses associated with the Christmas period. Salaries and other employee benefits also increased slightly by 0.9%, in line with the increased revenue base, eventually resulting in positive q-o-q operating leverage.
As a result, operating income before cost of credit risk increased 18.7% y-o-y and 10.8% q-o-q to GEL 99.0 million in Q4 2014.
Cost of credit risk increased 8.1% q-o-q to GEL 16.6 million predominantly as a result of higher impairment of other assets and provisions. Impairment of loans was significantly lower on q-o-q basis due to lower impairment charges in Retail Banking as well as recoveries. This increase, on the back of a significant q-o-q increase in the loan book, resulted in a decline in the Cost of Risk to 1.2% in Q4 2014 from 1.6% in Q3 2014 - below the management's target of 1.5%. On y-o-y basis, the Cost of credit risk increased from GEL 10.0 million in Q4 2013 to GEL 16.6 million in Q4 2014 reflecting the loan book growth as well as low base in Q4 2013 due to high level of recoveries. Cost of Risk as a result increased from 0.9% in Q4 2013 to 1.2% in Q4 2014.
As a result of the foregoing, in Q4 2014, the Group's operating income before non-recurring items totalledGEL 82.5 million, up 12.3% y-o-y and 11.3% q-o-q. The Group's net non-recurring items declined to GEL 2.1 million from GEL 6.0 in Q4 2013. Profit before income tax in Q4 2014 reached GEL 80.4 million, up 19.1% y-o-y. After income tax expense of GEL 13.9 million, the Group's Q4 2014 profit for the period stood at GEL 66.5 million, up 19.5% y-o-y and 6.7% q-o-q.

The Bank's Retail Banking registered another year of record performance.
Financial highlights
§ Retail Banking revenue increased 11.2% to GEL 296.6 million, driven by:
o Net interest income that increased 11.4% to GEL 213.8 million as a result of the significant growth of 28.1% in the Retail Banking loan book to GEL 2,067.0 million, strongly supported by a robust growth of SME & micro, mortgage loans and consumer loans
o In line with the market trends across the banking sector, the Retail Banking Loan Yield declined by 240 bps y-o-y to 17.4% putting downward pressure on the Retail Banking NIM
o The decline in the Loan Yield was partially mitigated by a 140 bps decline in Client Deposit Costs for Retail Banking
o The growth of Retail Banking client deposit balances, which increased 24.2% y-o-y to GEL 1,349.6 million, has not been compromised by the cut in deposit costs
o This is largely due to the significant number of new Express Banking clients, who bring with them the cheapest source of deposits for the bank - current accounts and demand deposits
o Net fee and commission income and net gain from foreign currencies that increased 9.0% and 24.3% respectively. The growth of both items are mainly attributed to the Express Banking franchise, which has attracted c.560,000 previously unbanked emerging mass market customers since its launch 3 years ago, and driven the number of client related foreign currency and other banking transactions substantially higher
§ Operating expenses increased 7.5%, or at a much slower rate than revenue growth rate, reflecting:
o Cost efficiencies achieved largely due to the success of the Express Banking footprint, with increasing shift to low cost remote channel-intensive Express Banking services
o In 2014, transactions executed through Express Pay terminals, ATMs, Internet and Mobile channels increased 100.1%, 21.2% 38.4% and 202.2%, respectively while operations through tellers decreased 4.0%
§ The Cost of credit risk improved significantly from GEL 29.2 million to GEL 9.2 million, as a result of:
o Lower impairments reflecting further economic growth and our continuing prudent risk management policies
o The effects of the new provisioning methodology which had a positive impact on the Retail Banking cost of credit risk
§ As a result, Retail Banking profit reached GEL 133.3 million, up by 32.1% y-o-y
§ We enhanced our footprint in the significantly more profitable retail franchise through the Privatbank acquisition in January 2015. Privatbank is the 9th largest bank in Georgia by total assets and has a focus on retail banking, with retail loans representing 86% of its loan book, while the cards business accounts for 69% of loans (based on 2013 IFRS consolidated financial statements). Privatbank has a countrywide distribution network with 92 branches (equal to 42% of our current distribution network), 431 ATMs and 1,937 POS terminals and 1,154 employees. Privatbank has a 4.9% market share by retail loans and 3.0% by customer deposits (market data based on standalone accounts as published by the National Bank of Georgia ("NBG") as of 31 December 2014.)
This transaction offers significant synergy potential. Express Pay terminals will be used by Privatbank customers for transactions such as credit card and consumer loan payments, utility bill payments and mobile telephone top-ups. Potential revenue synergies are expected to be captured from the cross-selling of our banking products to the customers of Privatbank, which has a more limited portfolio of banking products due to its strategic focus on credit cards. Cost synergies are expected mainly as a result of reduction in Privatbank's Cost of Funding, back office and distribution network optimisation initiatives, significant potential to increase the utilisation of the Privatbank franchise.

Highlights
§ Revenue for the Corporate Banking segment remained largely flat, increasing by 1.3% to GEL 164.1 million, as a result of:
o A largely flat net interest income of GEL 105.2 million, up 1.2% is a result of a slower growth of Corporate Banking segment that was largely due to competitive pressures
o High liquidity environment in the Georgian banking sector during the year, that resulted in declining Corporate Banking Loan Yields (down 180 bps) and consequent downward pressure on the NIM, which declined by 50 bps
o NIM pressure that was partially offset by 170 bps decline in Cost of Client Deposits and 18.8% y-o-y growth in the Corporate Banking loan book
o 9.2% decrease in net fee and commission income to GEL 24.8 million
o Net gain from foreign currencies increased 10.5% to GEL 27.4 million as a result of a significant growth of foreign currency related client transactions
§ Corporate Banking cost of credit risk rose to GEL 41.2 million up 32.6% y-o-y, which reflected the default of a borrower in the agricultural sector in Q1 2014 as well as a slight negative impact of the new provisioning methodology
§ Agreed a US$25 million one-year Trade Finance Club Facility with Citi, the first Trade Finance Club facility arranged by Citi for a Georgian bank
§ Signed a US$20 million trade facility loan agreement with Turk Eximbank to extend financing to Georgian companies that import Turkish consumer and capital goods in Georgia

Healthcare Services
§ Our healthcare services business delivered record growth in 2014, driven by acquisitions that resulted in a much stronger market position, especially in Tbilisi, and by favorable government policy that increased spending on healthcare
§ In 2014, the net healthcare services revenue, which includes revenue from hospitals and ambulatory clinics, increased 60.3% y-o-y to GEL 54.1 million, mainly driven by the following factors:
o Implementation of the expansion strategy that resulted in the acquisition of seven hospitals with total of 850 beds during 2014, bringing the number of total healthcare facilities to 39 and hospital beds to 2,140, up from 32 and 1,329, respectively
o Our increased footprint in Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia, where our market share grew from 1.3% as of 31 December 2013 to 14.1% as of 31 December 2014 in terms of the hospital beds
o The introduction of UHC by the Government, as a result of which all Georgian citizens are eligible for the new Government-funded basic health coverage. Since the introduction of UHC in 2012, Government expenditures on healthcare have increased over 65% from GEL 414.5 million in 2012 to GEL 692.9 million in 2014 and are expected to be further increased to GEL 768.3 million in 2015 according to the state budget for 2015 announced by the Ministry of Finance of Georgia
§ The increase in costs outpaced growth in net healthcare services revenue as a result of inefficiencies brought in through acquisition of the new hospitals. While the integration of the acquired healthcare facilities is ongoing and partially completed, including centralisation of some of the back-office functions, we expect significant further synergy gains to be made in 2015 as management shifts its focus from acquisition to integration mode
Health Insurance
§ High double digit growth in our healthcare service revenues was partially offset by the anticipated decline in health insurance revenues, resulting from UHC implementation. In addition to providing basic healthcare coverage to all citizens of Georgia, the UHC also entails a structural shift of private insurers' revenues that had previously come from state to the UHC system, implying direct management by the Government
§ As anticipated, this had a negative effect on the health insurance businesses. In addition to moving the revenue from the state funded insurance away from private insurance companies, the shift of revenue to the state did not immediately result in elimination of associated costs, including insurance claims incurred
§ As a result, our net insurance premiums earned decreased by 32.2% to GEL 70.0 million and insurance claims incurred decreased 28.8% to GEL 62.0 million, resulting in GEL 8.0 million in net insurance revenue, down 50.2% y-o-y
§ However, our private health insurance has shown resilience notwithstanding challenges posed by the implementation of UHC in the light of competition from UHC and revenue from private medical insurance products grew by 3.9% y-o-y, with approximately 200,000 people holding our health insurance policies as at 31 December 2014
§ Within the changed private insurance landscape that resulted from the introduction of UHC, our health insurance business strengthened its market share and accounted for 36.7% of the total health insurance sector of Georgia based on gross premiums revenue as of 30 September 2014, up from 28.9% as of 31 December 2013

§ Revenue from healthcare services increased 62.5% y-o-y to GEL 138.5 million in 2014, which is the result of acquisitions as well as organic growth
§ As discussed above, during 2014, Evex acquired seven hospitals enabling it to increase its healthcare revenues and expand into new market segments. As of 31 December 2014, Evex was the largest healthcare provider in Georgia, with 14 referral (multi-profile or specialty) hospitals and 19 community hospitals, which have total of 2,140 beds, and six ambulatory clinics providing outpatient services
§ Revenue from referral hospitals, which are the main source of revenue for the healthcare services business, grew by 105.2% y-o-y, driven by both acquisitions and organic growth
§ The 14.7% y-o-y growth of revenue from the community hospitals was the result of organic growth alone and was driven by the introduction of UHC, which made healthcare services, both outpatient and inpatient, more accessible and affordable for the population of Georgia
§ In addition, a recent initiative of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Social Affairs extended the prescription requirement to over 55% of all medicines registered in Georgia with effect from 1 September 2014 (whereas no more than 2% of all medicines registered in Georgia required a prescription before this date). We believe this initiative will begin to have a favourable impact on revenues in 2015 as outpatient visits to clinics increase
§ Ambulatory clinics revenue was largely flat because of a change in our health insurance service delivery. Prior to 2014, we mainly provided outpatient services to Imedi L health insurance patients in Tbilisi at our ambulatory clinics (i.e. the Evex ambulatory clinics). During 2014, the list of provider ambulatory clinics that are eligible to treat Imedi L's health insurance clients in Tbilisi expanded to include other (non-Evex) clinics, which has placed downward pressure on ambulatory service revenues
§ The 75.2% y-o-y decline in revenue from ambulance and rural primary care services was due to the full handover of the administration function related to these services to the Government as part of UHC. Management expects the handover to improve Evex's operating margins due to the very low profitability of ambulance and rural primary care services

§ High double digit growth of our revenue from healthcare services was primarily driven by the revenues from government-funded healthcare programmes, which more than quadrupled y-o-y to GEL 80.8 million, reflecting the implementation of UHC
§ This was partially offset by an anticipated decline in revenues from private insurance companies, resulting in 46.2% y-o-y decrease in these revenues to GEL 25.2 million in 2014
§ Notably, out-of-pocket payments by patients increased 74.3% to GEL 32.5 million. The UHC places coverage limits on medical treatments and has certain exclusions. Any charges in excess of the limit for services financed by UHC must be covered by patients out-of-pocket

§ Margins improved, as a result of increasing utilisation and scale of our healthcare services business
§ More than half of the growth in COGS comes from an increase in payroll costs, primarily attributed to recent acquisitions. Since 31 December 2013 the headcount of our healthcare services business increased by 1,342 employees and reached 7,658 full-time employees as of 31 December 2014
§ In 2014, gross profit of our healthcare services business increased 63.7% y-o-y to GEL 59.6 million, supported by the 61.6% growth in COGS on the back of 62.5% increase in revenue during the same period
§ Gross margin (which is defined as gross profit divided by revenue) improved to 43.0%, up from 42.7% in 2013. The handover of the margin-dilutive ambulance and rural primary health care service to the Government also had a positive effect on margins

§ Our healthcare services business grew significantly in 2014, which is reflected in its selling, general and administrative expenses, with additional efficiencies yet to be realised. Primarily driven by recent acquisitions, SG&A expenses increased 94.6% y-o-y, with salaries and other employee benefits constituting c.60% of this growth resulting from increased headcount
§ Further cost synergies are expected mainly as a result of reducing inefficiencies in the acquired hospitals, as benchmarked against the previously managed healthcare facilities in the areas of procurement, process standardisation and payroll
§ Post-acquisition synergies are not yet fully reflected in the current financial results, as the integration process is still ongoing for a number of recent acquisitions

§ Net interest expense of the healthcare services business grew by 5.9% y-o-y as a result of a 54.6% increase in borrowed funds raised for acquisitions as well as new project financing
§ The increase in depreciation costs by 34.7% was primarily driven by the acquisitions completed during the past year
§ Foreign exchange related losses have decreased 32.9% to GEL 2.5 million in 2014, primarily as a result of the company's efforts during 2014 to decrease foreign currency risk exposure on foreign currency borrowings, as compared to previous reporting periods, as well as potential future exposure. The company has converted most of the borrowings into local currency and the rest was hedged thus short position was closed
§ As a result, net income of our healthcare services business more than doubled on y-o-y basis to GEL 13.1 million up from 5.3 million

The growth of total assets (up GEL 133.8 million y-o-y) was largely driven by a GEL 89.2 million, or a 51.7%, increase in the premises and equipment of our healthcare business, reflecting the acquisition of new hospitals during the twelve months of 2014

Financial highlights
§ Net insurance premiums earned remained largely flat y-o-y at GEL 29.5 million. This was offset however by a 29.7% increase in net insurance claims incurred, as a result of a single large property and general third party liability claim following a major fire incident
§ As a result, revenue decreased 20.9% to GEL 17.0 million
§ Operating expenses increased 16.8% to GEL 9.4 million partly as a result of the above-mentioned split of the P&C insurance and healthcare businesses. Profit for the period for P&C insurance business was GEL 5.9 million
Operating highlights
§ Market share of 37.8% as of 30 September 2014 based on gross insurance premium revenue as reported by the Insurance State Supervision Service of Georgia
§ Our P&C insurance business leads the market with a powerful distribution network of 87 points of sale, up from 80 in 2013, and more than 200 account managers. The number of clients has surpassed 250,000, an increase of over 70% y-o-y mainly driven by increased cross-selling of life insurance products to our Retail Banking clients and the number of vehicles insured exceeded 19,000, increasing 17.1% y-o-y

ANNEX II - Summary of the new capital regulation
On 28 October 2013, the National Bank of Georgia published Decree No. 100/04, introducing a new capital regulation to replace the NBG capital regulation in place since 2002 (and updated from time to time). The new capital regulation is based on the Basel Accord 2 and 3, with material regulatory discretions applied by the NBG. According to the Decree No. 100/04, Pillar 1 requirements under the new regulation came into force on 30 June 2014. The period starting 30 June 2014 through 31 December 2017 was declared as a transition period. During the transition period, Georgian banks are required to comply with certain ratios under the previous NBG regulation according to the following schedule: 2014 - 100% of the old regulatory capital, in 2015 - 95% of the old regulatory capital, in 2016 - 90% of the older regulatory capital and in 2017 - 80% of the old regulatory capital.
According to the Decree No. 1s 00/04 by the National Bank of Georgia, Pillar 2 requirements (the "ICAAP") have come in force starting 1 October 2014. In October of 2014, the Bank submitted its first Pillar 2 ICAAP Report for Q3 2014 to the regulator. The Bank has also submitted to NBG a full draft of its internal capital regulation and policies. Currently, the entire package is going through review process by the regulator and the Bank is expecting to receive a feedback from NBG regarding the results of this review. Once the regulatory review process is finalized, a final package of the Pillar 2 internal regulation will be approved by the Board. Currently, the Bank is only required to submit its ICAAP report on a quarterly basis. No deadline has been set by NBG yet for this quarterly reporting. However, the Bank has its internal deadline 30 days after each quarter-end. The Q4 2014 ICAAP report has been already submitted.
Summary analysis of the key features of the new Basel 2/3 based regulation and a comparison with the old capital regulation is provided below:
