CAIRO - Commercial International Bank (EGX: COMI) today reported second-quarter 2024 consolidated net income of EGP 15.6 billion, or EGP 4.59 per share, up by 96% from second-quarter 2023.

Management Commented: "Building on a strong start to the year, CIB delivered another record set of financial results in the second quarter of 2024, ending the first half of the year with all-time-high top and bottom lines of EGP 46.3 billion and EGP 27.5 billion, growing by 82% and 96%, respectively, over last year. This further reinstates that last quarter's financial performance primarily represents genuine growth rather than being the result of currency depreciation and inflation.

Despite the fact that the external landscape came partially conducive to the financial results for CIB, as it certainly did across the Banking Sector and as is typical in inflationary environments, Management yet remains keen on continuously operating a health-check engine that portrays and places a scrutinized eye on real and genuine growth. In accordance, it is worth highlighting that as steep as macroeconomic developments have been, with special regard to year-round 900 basis-point policy-rate hikes and the 55% currency depreciation compared to last year, yet genuine growth contributed more than half of the year-on-year top line growth. Moreover, and specifically for international investors, year-on-year bottom line growth for CIB in US Dollar terms recorded 26%.

With the highly-competitive and increasing-interest-rate environment, CIB was able to achieve the aforementioned results guided by Management's focus on sustaining the Bank's balance sheet growth momentum while simultaneously controlling cost of deposits. Notably, CIB grew its local currency deposit base by 15% or EGP 65.9 billion, and its foreign currency deposit base by 6% or USD 414 million, over last year, yet at highly-rationalized costs, aided by maintaining a share of Current and Saving Accounts (CASA) of 54% to total deposits. This, coupled with capitalizing on the Bank's resilient balance sheet structure and proactive treasury management, which together allowed for the efficient allocation of funds in light of interest rate and foreign exchange dynamics, translated into record Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 9.52%, expanding by 222 basis points over last year.

Additionally, lending growth for CIB came robust, with the Bank's gross loan portfolio showing real growth rate of 12% over last year, and 14% when accounting for Securitization Deals worth EGP 29.1 billion, preserving its market position as the largest Lender-and-Securitizer among Private-Sector Banks. This fed into net fee and commission income growth of 33% over last year, mirroring Management focus on sustainable, rather than transient, stream of non-interest income. Positively, foreign currency liquidity for CIB clearly strengthened over the past quarter, with Foreign Currency CBE Liquidity Ratio coming up from 46.3% by end of last quarter to record 68.3% this quarter, in line with the improvement witnessed on the Egyptian Banking Sector level.

Business growth took place without compromising the underlying healthy asset quality and top-notch coverage for expected losses for CIB, as reflected in normalized provision accumulations compared to last quarter, in light of relatively stabilizing economic conditions. As such, Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) represented 4.13% of gross loans, down from 5.07% last year, and loan loss provision balance recorded EGP 42.6 billion, covering 12.8% of the Bank's gross loan Portfolio, and 18.4% of the unsecured portion therein.

Return on Average Equity (ROAE) surpassed 50%, recording 52.5%, which comes while yet remaining well-capitalized, as displayed in a healthy Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 26.2%, further reiterating the uncompromised focus of the Bank's Management on preserving the interests of both current and future shareholders.

Looking forward, and in light of relatively stabilizing economic conditions, Management remains cautiously optimistic with confidence in the agility of the Egyptian Banking Sector to sail through current economic developments, and in the ability of CIB to safeguard its market-leading financial performance, while maintaining its robust coverage and healthy solvency intact."
