SECOND-QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS


REVENUES

Second quarter consolidated revenues were EGP 1.83 billion, 14% higher than first-quarter 2013 and up by 49% from the EGP 1.23 billion achieved in second-quarter 2012 to show the highest YoY revenue growth in 5 years. On a standalone basis, the Bank achieved EGP 1.79 billion in revenues for the second quarter, up 49% YoY and 14% QoQ. All revenue lines recorded strong growth, with non-interest income continuing to outpace net interest income.

First-half consolidated revenues were EGP 3.44 billion, up 45% from the EGP 2.38 billion achieved in the first half of 2012. On a standalone basis, the Bank achieved EGP 3.36 billion in revenues for the first half, up 45% YoY.

Net Interest Income

Net interest margin (NIM) of 5.44%, up 89 basis points from 4.55% in second-quarter 2012 and 19 basis points from 5.25% in first-quarter 2013. This generated consolidated net interest income of EGP 1.27 billion, 37% higher than the EGP 932 million recorded in the year-ago period.

NIM for first-half 2013 was 5.35%, 81 basis points higher than first-half 2012. This generated consolidated net interest income of EGP 2.41 billion, 34% higher than the EGP 1.8 billion recorded in the year-ago period.

NIM benefitted from continued loan repricing alongside a steady cost of funds, aided by growth in demand deposit account balances.

Non-Interest Income[5]

Non-interest income continued its strong performance and growth trend in second-quarter 2013, with growth outpacing that of net interest income. Consolidated non-interest income for the second quarter was EGP 554 million, an increase of 87% over the year-ago period and 18% over first-quarter 2013. Consolidated non-interest income for the first half was EGP 1.03 billion, 78% over the year-ago period.

Trade finance benefitted from CIB's strong position in foreign currency markets continuing its strong Growth trend YoY and QoQ. Trade finance fees in the second quarter came at EGP 136 million, 35% higher than first-quarter 2013 and more than double the revenue generated in the year ago period. Trade finance fees for first-half 2013 recorded EGP 237 million, double first-half 2012 fees. Trade services gross outstanding balances added 20% YoY to reach EGP 18.3 billion.

Dealing room profits for the second quarter were EGP 128 million, increasing 60% over first-quarter 2013. First-half 2013 dealing room profits were EGP 209 million, achieving an 84% YoY increase.

Debt Capital Markets had a strong quarter, boosted by upfront and agency fees for  syndicated loans. First half revenues were  EGP 28 million, more than double full-year 2012 revenues.

 

OPERATING EXPENSE

Consolidated operating expense for second-quarter 2013 was EGP 472 million, remaining almost flat QoQ and up 23% YoY from EGP 383 million. The consolidated efficiency ratio improved to 25.4% versus 30.7% in second-quarter 2012 and 28.8% in first-quarter 2013, on stronger revenue growth. On a standalone basis, CIB's operating expense was EGP 439 million, nearly flat QoQ and up 26% YoY. The standalone efficiency ratio improved to 24.1% from 28.4% in the year-ago period and 27.4% in first-quarter 2013.

Consolidated operating expense for first-half 2013 recorded EGP 946 million, up 23% YoY from EGP 771 million. The consolidated efficiency ratio improved to 27.0% versus 31.9% in the first half of 2012. On a standalone basis, CIB recorded first-half 2013 operating expense of EGP 878 million, up 25% YoY. First half operating expense was inflated by stamp duty accruals taken in relation to the new tax law introduced at the end of 2012. Adjusted for these and other one-offs, expenses would have grown 11% YoY. The standalone efficiency ratio improved to 25.6% from 29.7% in the year-ago period.

Rising yields had a negative impact of EGP 217 million on the Bank's net worth in second-quarter 2013 and EGP 425 million in first-half 2013 (related to the available-for-sale portfolio).

CIB maintained its conservative liquidity position in both local and foreign currencies, remaining comfortably above CBE requirements.
