Recent regulatory changes

One-off tax charges of GEL 112.9 million, as a result of changes to the corporate taxation model for financial institutions in Georgia

As already announced on 28 December 2022 via Regulatory News Service ( RNS #1249L ), close to the end of 2022, the Government of Georgia has approved changes to the current corporate tax model applicable for financial institutions in Georgia from 2023.

According to the announced changes, the financial sector will no longer switch to the Estonian tax model, which was expected to exempt banks from paying corporate taxes on retained earnings and only required a payment of 15% corporate tax rate on distributed earnings.

The change to the corporate taxation model has an immediate impact on deferred tax balances and a corresponding income tax expense, attributable to temporary differences between financial and tax accounting balances, arising from prior periods. In addition to above changes, tax authorities require the banks to reimburse the tax reliefs obtained through previous provisioning calculation differences caused by differences in tax and IFRS bases. On the other hand, the effects of the equalizing of tax and IFRS bases for interest income and expense items are still under consideration by tax authorities. In total, the effect of potential reimbursement for provisions and interest amounted to GEL 64.1 million, while the remaining effect is attributable to remeasurement of deferred tax attributable to temporary differences arising of financial statement line items.

As a result of these changes, in 4Q 2022 the Group has recognized net deferred tax liabilities and corresponding deferred tax expense in the amount of GEL 112.9 million in the statement of profit and loss.

In addition, with the effect from 2023, the existing corporate tax rate for banks will be increased from 15% to 20%, while dividends will no longer be taxed with 5% dividend tax. As a result of these changes, the Group's effective tax rate is expected to be around 14-16% in 2023.

Transition to IFRS for capital adequacy calculation purposes, has a positive impact on CET 1 Capital

Starting from 1 January 2023, the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) adopted amendments to the regulations relating to capital adequacy requirements. According to the new amendments, commercial banks are required to comply with supervisory regulations based on IFRS numbers and approaches. Under the IFRS transition process, the NBG introduced a credit risk adjustment (CRA) buffer. The CRA buffer was implemented as a Pillar 2 requirement and was fully imposed on CET 1 capital. The table below shows the changes to the minimum regulatory capital requirements and TBC capital ratios as of 31 December 2022. The transition positively impacted CET and T1 Capital, while reduced Total Capital. The bank remains well above of the regulatory requirements for all tiers.

	Under local accounting standards	Under IFRS[2]
Minimum CET 1 ratio	11.8%	14.0%
TBC CET 1 Capital adequacy ratio	15.5%	18.1%
Excess	3.7 pp	4.1 pp

Minimum Tier 1 ratio	14.1%	16.2%
TBC Tier 1 Capital adequacy ratio	18.0%	20.6%
Excess	3.9 pp	4.4 pp

Minimum total capital adequacy ratio	17.6%	19.6%
TBC Total Capital adequacy ratio	21. 0 %	22.5%
Excess	3.4 pp	2.9 pp

Impact of changed accounting treatment for option contract s

As previously disclosed, TBC Bank Group entered into put/call arrangements in April 2019 for the remaining 49% of Payme ( RNS #7827V ) and in September 2021 for the EBRD/IFCs 40% stake in TBC UZ Bank ( RNS #5753N ). The exercise prices are dependent on a set of commercial and financial parameters . Subsequently , there has been strong growth in the Group's Uzbek business.

The Group has re-assessed the accounting treatment for these options. Per IAS 32 requirements, in each case the present value of the put option exercise price should have been recognised as a redemption liability, even if the put option is out of the money and not expected to be exercised, with a corresponding effect on equity from when the option was entered into - not only at a potential option exercise date. Such requirement arises given the put option agreement had been signed with holders of the non-controlling interest (NCI) of subsidiary entity.

The Group has therefore re-stated previous year balances by recognising a redemption liability for put options and the equal and opposite effect on other reserves in equity. Should the Group consequently purchase the shares of the NCI shareholders the additional impact on equity should be limited to any potential subsequent remeasurement of redemption liability, as far as, other reserves in equity have already been recognised. Moreover, the recognition of the redemption liability has no direct effect on the profit and loss statement or regulatory capital ratios of TBC Bank.

In Q4 2022, the Group has recognised GEL 477 million as a redemption liability and the equal and opposite effect on other reserves in equity.

Letter from the Chief Executive Officer^{^[3]}

2022 was a year of major instability across the region following the outbreak of the devastating war in Ukraine, which has taken the lives of so many innocent people. I would like to honour the bravery of the Ukrainian people. We will continue to stand by Ukraine by offering our support to those who have suffered from the hardships of the war, through our various programmes and fundraisers.

The war has had an adverse impact on the global economy, leading to an energy crisis and rising inflation. Even in these difficult times, the Georgian economy has proved its resilience, recording strong growth of 10.1%[4] in 2022. We remain mindful, however, of the challenging geopolitical situation and continue to monitor and analyse the war's effects closely.

Major highlights of the year

For TBC, 2022 was a highly successful year with our core banking business in Georgia generating outstanding results and our Uzbek operations maintaining the strong momentum that has been driving the business forward.

In terms of headline numbers:

· Financials - our net profit reached a record GEL 1,003 million, up by 24% year-on-year, while our return on equity was 27.0%, despite one-off tax charges in the amount of GEL 113 million, based on the strong growth backed by solid capital position. Without one-off tax charges, our underlying net profit and ROE would have been GEL 1,116 million and 29.9%, respectively.

· User base - by the end of 2022, the number of registered users of our services in Georgia and Uzbekistan reached 13.6 million, out of whom 4. 4 million were monthly active users (MAU). This compares to a total addressable market of around 3 9 million in both Georgia and Uzbekistan, providing further significant growth potential.

· Digital engagement across the Group - digital MAU saw a major acceleration during the year, reaching 3 . 8 million in December 2022, up by almost 50% year-on-year, while average digital daily active users (DAU) amounted to 1.4 million, an increase of more than 60% over the same period.

Record profitability and prudent capital levels

In 2022, our operating income amounted to GEL 2,071 million and grew by 43% year-on-year. This growth was broad based and driven by:

· a strong increase in net interest income, on the back of combination of robust loan book growth and a higher net interest margin, which amounted to 6.0%, up by 0.9 pp year-on-year;

· outstanding results in FX income, related to strong business volumes and increased margins;

· a 30% growth in net fee and commission income, primarily driven by our payment operations both in Georgia and Uzbekistan.

Against a positive economic backdrop, our asset quality trends were positive, with 0.7% cost of risk and NPLs falling to 2.2%. Meanwhile, our strong focus on digitalisation and data analytics capabilities allowed us to manage our business efficiently. As a result, our cost to income ratio decreased by 4.2 pp year-on-year to 33.4%, despite our continued investments for the expansion of our Uzbek operations. Our capital position has remained solid, supported by robust income generation and the positive effect of a strengthening local currency. At the end of 2022, our CET1 ratio stood at 15.5%, comfortably above the minimum regulatory requirements by 3.7[5] pp.

Strong growth in Georgia and Uzbekistan

This year, we reinforced our leadership position in Georgia with strong growth in both loans and deposits, maintaining our market shares of around 40% respectively. Our loan book increased by around 16 % year-on-year on a constant currency basis, largely due to consumer and micro loans, in line with our strategy to refocus growth towards higher-yielding loans in local currency. At the same time, our asset quality remained high thanks to prudent credit risk management. Over the same period, our deposit portfolio increased by about 31% year-on-year on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by local currency deposit inflows. As a result, the larisation levels of our loan and deposit portfolios increased throughout the year, in line with our strategy .

I am delighted with the performance of our Uzbek operations. TBC UZ, our fully digital consumer bank, maintained its steady growth as it continued to attract more customers. By the end of 2022, the number of registered users reached 2.4 million, while MAU amounted to 0.4 million. In terms of balance sheet growth, the retail loan book amounted to GEL 348 million and the retail deposits portfolio reached GEL 331 million with respective retail market shares standing at 2.2% and 1.4%. As for the Group's contribution, Uzbek loans accounted for around 12% of our retail non-mortgage loan book, while Uzbek deposits represented about 5% of retail deposits. Meanwhile, Payme, our leading payments provider in Uzbekistan, also significantly grew its operations across the country, with the number of monthly active users increasing in 2022 by around 1.6 times year-on-year to 2.5 million. Going forward, we plan to increase operational coordination to utilize synergies between TBC UZ Bank and Payme, which will allow us to unlock even more potential for the two businesses.

Significantly, our Uzbek operations began to generate positive returns starting from the third quarter of 2022, with their net income amounting to GEL 8 million for the full year 2022.

Looking ahead

Our strategy for the next year is to continue to build on our leading position in the Georgian financial services sector, combined with our dominant position in digital ecosystem, allowing us to generate steady growth and solid profitability, as well as further pursue our international ambitions through our Uzbek subsidiaries, by leveraging our superior customer experience, strong data analytics and best-in-class digital solutions.

Finally, I would like to reiterate our medium-term targets: ROE of above 20%, a cost to income ratio below 35%, a dividend pay-out 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 income and to achieve 7 million active monthly users at the Group level in the medium-term.

Economic Overview

Economic growth

After reaching 10.6% real GDP growth YoY in the first half of 2022 and 9.8% in Q3, the Georgian economy maintained its strong growth momentum in Q4, expanding by 10.1% according to Geostat's preliminary estimates.

External sector

External sector activity remained strong in 4Q 2022. Specifically, exports grew by 18.6% in Q4 YoY and by 31.8% for the full year 2022. Imports were estimated to grow by 27.3% in Q4 and by 33.2% for the full year. Surging prices once again were the major driver of the increase in exports in Q4, especially for re-exports, while domestic exports decreased YoY in nominal terms. Investment goods constituted a high share of imports, indicating positive investment sentiment. The terms of trade remained broadly stable, supporting economic growth and the GEL.

The recovery in tourism continued and remittance inflows reached record highs. Including the migration effect, tourism inflows in Q4 amounted to 145.7% of 2019 levels, while the total tourism spending for the full year 2022 also surpassed the 2019 level by 7.6%. Remittance inflows also rose further, increasing by 40.7% in the fourth quarter YoY and adding up to 28.1%[6] throughout the year. FDIs also grew strongly, with a 99.3% YoY increase in Q3 and 101.7% growth in the first 9 months of the year. 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 is expected to be even lower, at around 3.1%. 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 in Georgia

As of December 2022, bank credit increased by 12.1% YoY at constant exchange rates. Corporate loan growth stood at 5.3% YoY at the end of 2022, while MSME and retail lending grew by 16.8% and 14.7% YoY, respectively.

Inflation, monetary policy, and the exchange rate

The GEL continued to strengthen in Q4 against the USD, appreciating to 2.69 at the end of December 2022 from 2.85 by the end of September 2022 and 3.10 end of December 2021, supported by strong inflows and tight monetary policy.

As a result of a stronger GEL and disinflationary pass-through from international markets, CPI inflation moderated from 11.5% in September to 9.8% by the end of the year. Notably, monthly inflation rates have retreated to a larger extent, with 0.3% deflation in December. Nevertheless, in the absence of more pronounced evidence of the easing of inflationary pressures, the NBG kept its monetary policy rate at 11% throughout the final quarter.

Going forward

After double-digit growth for two years in a row, the consensus projection appears to be 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 growth by around 5% in 2023.
