Bank of Georgia (LSE: BGEO, GSE: GEB) (the “Bank”), Georgia’s leading bank, announced today its Q2 2009 and 1H 2009 consolidated results (IFRS-based, derived from management accounts), reporting a Q2 2009 Net Loss of GEL 4.3 million and 1H 2009 Net Income of GEL 0.8 million.

Q2 2009 Summary of the Bank’s Consolidated Results

In Q2 2009 the Bank’s performance continued to reflect challenging market conditions in the Bank’s principal markets and globally. Throughout Q2 the Bank maintained a conservative liquidity management policy reducing its loan book and increasing amount of liquid funds on its balance sheet. At the end of Q2 2009 the Bank’s liquidity ratio reached 38% (as compared to 20% required by the FSA) despite retiring all of US$140 million Loan Passthrough Notes, which were callable in June 2009.

Reduction of the Bank’s loan portfolio in Q2 2009 was the principal reason for the decrease of the Bank’s total Operating Income (Revenue) by 6.4% y-o-y to GEL 80.6 million, (down 1.4% q-o-q6). Net Interest Income declined 11.4% y-o-y to GEL 49.5 million (down 5.7% q-o-q), and Net Non-Interest Income increased 2.8% y-o-y to GEL 31.1 million (up 6.3% q-o-q). The decline of Net Interest Income during the quarter was a result of a 7.2% q-o-q decrease of Interest Income, which reflects the contraction of the consolidated gross loan book of the Bank by GEL 142.2 million, or a decrease of 6.9% q-o-q. Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the quarter stood at 8.1%, a decrease of 0.66 % from Q1 2009 and a decrease of 0.98% y-o-y from Q2 2008. The decline of NIM was mainly due to the sharp increase in liquidity during the quarter. Net Fees and Commission Income decreased 7.2% y-o-y to GEL 9.4 million (up 5.8% q-o-q) and Net Income from Documentary Operations decreased 5.2% y-o-y to GEL 1.8 million, (down 20.7% q-o-q). Net Foreign Currency Related Income of GEL 7.1 million, decreased by 32.1%y-o-y and by 19.5% q-o-q. The q-o-q decline was a result of the decreased FX income in Belarus and Ukraine due to lower FX volatility and regulatory restrictions on foreign currency transactions in Ukraine. Net Other Non-Interest Income increased 64.0% y-o-y to GEL 12.9 million, up 37.4% q-o-q due to the increased profitability during the quarter of the Bank’s insurance and brokerage subsidiaries. The Bank’s Insurance Income grew 191.1% y-o-y to GEL 5.1 million, up 66.1% q-o-q and Brokerage Income increased by 300.0% q-o-q to GEL 1.3 million (decreased by 14.0% y-o-y).

6 q-o-q compares Q2 2009 results with Q1 2009 results.

NNOI decreased 8.1% y-o-y to GEL 34.3 million, down 7.6% q-o-q, reflecting a 3.8% q-o-q increase of Total Consolidated Recurring Operating Costs for the quarter to GEL 46.3 million (down 5.2% y-o-y) in Q2 2009. Personnel Costs, the largest Recurring Cost item, declined 14.9% y-o-y due to headcount reduction in Q4 2008, but has increased 5.5% q-o-q to GEL 23.2 million. The Personnel Cost increase in Q2 2009 was mostly due to increased performance driven bonus accruals in insurance and brokerage subsidiaries. Recurring Operating Costs excluding Personnel Costs reached a total of GEL 23.1 million in Q2 2009, a 2.1% increase q-o-q. Normalized Cost/Income ratio (Costs exclude Net Non-Recurring Costs) increased to 57.5 % in Q2 2009 from 54.6% in Q1 2009 and 56.9% in Q2 2008.

Challenging economic environment in Georgia and Ukraine was the key reason for the increase in the Bank’s Net Provision Expense, which amounted to GEL 40.7 million for the quarter, up 26.9% q-o-q and 465.6% y-o-y. Net Provision Expense in Georgia amounted to GEL 29.6 million (up 23.2% q-o-q) and in Ukraine GEL 11.0 million, (up 17.5% q-o-q).

1H 2009 Summary of the Bank’s Consolidated Results

In 1H 2009 the Bank’s Total Operating Income (Revenue) decreased 2.8% y-o-y to GEL 162.3 million, due to 3.5% y-o-y decrease in Net Interest Income to GEL 101.9 million and 1.6% y-o-y decrease in Net Non-Interest Income to GEL 60.4 million. The decline of Net Interest Income reflects the decrease of the consolidated gross loan book from GEL 2,107 million at the end of Q2 2008 to GEL 1,905 million in Q2 2009, a result of the conservative approach to liquidity management adopted by the Bank following the armed conflict between Georgia and Russia in August 2008 (the “Conflict”), the global financial crisis that negatively affected the economies of Georgia and Ukraine and political tensions in April and May in 2009 in Georgia. In 1H 2009, Net Foreign Currency Related Income declined by 33.0% y-o-y to GEL 15.8 million. The Bank’s Net Fees and Commission Income decreased 9.8% y-o-y to GEL 18.3 million, while Net Income from Documentary Operations grew by 20.9% y-o-y to GEL 4.0 million. Net Other Non-Interest Income reached GEL 22.2 million, up 57.4% y-o-y, mostly driven by the 139.9% growth of Net Insurance Income to GEL 8.1 million. Total Recurring Operating Costs decreased by 2.5% y-o-y to GEL 91.0 million, mostly due to a 14.7% y-o-y decline of Personnel Cost, a result of the cost optimization measures, including headcount reduction across the board, implemented by the Bank at the end of 2008.

The effect of the Conflict and the challenging economic environment in the Bank’s target markets prompted Net Provision Expense of GEL 72.8 million booked by the Bank in 1H 2009, as compared to the Net Provision Expense of GEL 14.6 million for 1H 2008. The Bank had Net Provision Expense of GEL 20.4 million in Ukraine and GEL 53.6 million in Georgia.

On 30 June 2009, the Bank’s Consolidated Total Assets stood at GEL 2.9 billion, down 8.8% from 31 March 2009, 10.8% from 31 December 2008 and 14.5% from Q2 2008. The Bank’s Net Loans decreased by 8.5% q-o-q (down 15.2% y-o-y) to GEL 1,750 million, reflecting the tightening of the Bank’s lending policy in light of challenging economic environment in its target markets and the Bank’s conservative approach to liquidity.

In Q2 2009 loan loss reserves amounted to GEL 155.1 million or 8.1% of consolidated gross loan book, up from 6.6% in Q1 2009. NPLs increased to GEL 148.8 million (up from GEL 104.6 million in Q1 2009), representing 7.8% of the consolidated gross loans as at 30 June 2009, up from 5.1% in Q1 2009.

During 2009 both Georgia and Ukraine witnessed a system-wide decline in banking deposits. The Bank’s Client Deposits decreased from GEL 1,193 million on 31 December 2008 to GEL 1,025 million on of 30 June 2009. Since year-end 2008 client deposits in Georgia decreased from GEL 1,045 million to GEL 909.3 million and in Ukraine from GEL127.4 million to GEL114.8 million.

Bank of Georgia’s banking operations in Georgia, which are provided through JSC Bank of Georgia, reported Q2 2009 standalone Net Income of GEL 0.9 million, as compared to Net Income of GEL 11.3 in Q1 2009. The decline in profitability compared to the previous quarter was mostly caused by increased provisions and lower Interest Income following the decrease of the Bank’s loan book in Georgia in 1H 2009.

In Q2 2009 Total Operating Income amounted to GEL 62.3 million, down 6.5 % q-o-q and 12.4% y-o-y. Net Interest Income stood at GEL 45.5 million, down 9.7% q-o-q and down 9.2% y-o-y. Net Non-Interest Income amounted to GEL 16.8 million, up 3.3% q-o-q and down 20.0% y-o-y. The q-o-q increase of Net Non-Interest Income was mainly attributed to the 2.9% q-o-q growth of Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 8.2 million. Net Income from Documentary Operations decreased 20.6% q-o-q to GEL 1.8 million. On a standalone basis, Bank of Georgia’s standalone Total Recurring Operating Costs increased 3.1% q-o-q to GEL 29.7 million, down 6.5% y-o-y.

The Bank’s Net Provision Expense on a standalone basis during the quarter reached GEL 29.6 million, attributed predominantly to the Bank’s retail banking and wealth management loans.

Bank of Georgia’s 1H 2009 Total Operating Income on a standalone basis stood at GEL 128.9 million down 6.4% y-o-y, following a 0.5% y-o-y growth of Net Interest Income to GEL 95.9 million, and 21.8% y-o-y decline of Net Non-Interest Income to GEL 33.1 million. The decline of Net Non-Interest Income was mostly due to 41.1% y-o-y decline of Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL 12.0 million. The Total Recurring Cost of the Bank’s Georgian operations declined by 2.8% y-o-y, driven by a 14.5% reduction of personnel costs on a y-o-y basis.

Aldagi BCI, the Bank’s wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, reported Q2 2009 Net Income of GEL 1.6 million (as compared to Net Income of GEL 656 thousand in Q1 2009 and Net Income of GEL 36 thousand in Q2 2008). The successful clean-up of Aldagi BCI’s health insurance portfolio and introduction of new tariffs translated into 34.6% y-o-y growth of Q2 2009 Net Premiums Earned to GEL 12.8 million (up 109.8% q-o-q). Revenue grew by 34.0% y-o-y to GEL 3.9 million in Q2 2009. The notable improvement of Aldagi BCI’s cost control and efficiency and better claims management resulted in the 23.5% y-o-y decrease of Operating Costs to GEL 2.3 million. In 1H 2009 Aldagi BCI’s Gross Premiums Written grew 26.6% y-o-y to GEL 37.7 million. Net Premiums Earned increased 40.2% y-o-y, reaching GEL 24.5 million. Revenue for 1H 2009 equaled GEL 7.8 million, up 45.3% y-o-y.

In light of Aldagi BCI’s increased operating efficiency and improved financial performance, the Bank has temporarily suspended its search for a strategic partner for Aldagi BCI announced previously. The Bank’s objective now is to complete the rationalization of Aldagi BCI’s business and further improve company’s financial performance. The Bank will again review its position in respect of Aldagi BCI in 2010.
