Letter from the Chief Executive Officer
I am pleased to report another set of strong financial results and to update you on recent favorable economic developments.
In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded an underlying1 consolidated net profit of GEL 86.3 million (reported net profit amounted to GEL 79.9 million). Our return on equity excluding one-off costs related to the Bank Republic integration was 20.4% (18.9% including one-off costs), while return on assets excluding one-off costs stood at 3.2% (3.0% including one-off costs). Over the same period, the net interest margin reached 6.8%, marking an increase by 0.2 pp quarter-on-quarter driven by a rise in loan yields by 0.5 pp to 12.4%. Our financial performance was further strengthened by a growth in net fee and commission income which increased by 34.4% or 26.2% year-on-year without the Bank Republic's estimated effect. At the same time, our cost to income ratio excluding one-off costs stood at 41.2% (44.9% with one-off costs).
In terms of balance sheet growth, we have achieved strong results in terms of both loans and deposits. Our loan book grew by 30.8% year-on-year without Bank Republic, or by 56.8% with Bank Republic, while our deposit portfolio increased by 43.3% year-on-year without Bank Republic, or by 56.1% with Bank Republic. The growth was recorded across all segments and, as a result, our market share in loans and deposits reached 38.0% and 39.8% respectively.
We continue to maintain sound asset quality and strong capital adequacy and liquidity levels. As of 30 June 2017, our non-performing loan ratio was 3.4%, down by 1.3 pp on a year-on-year basis, while our non-performing coverage ratio stood at 84% or 219% including collateral. At the same time, our total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) per Basel II/III regulation stood at 14.6% compared to the minimum requirement of 10.8%, and our regulatory tier I ratio stood at 10.8% compared to the minimum requirement of 8.5%. Net loans to deposits + IFI funding stood at 90.6% and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) stood at 129%.
The macroeconomic outlook is encouraging and continues to outperform the government's initial annual GDP growth projection of 4.0% for 2017. It is also supported by an improved economic environment in the region. According to the initial estimates of National Statistics Office of Georgia, GDP growth reached 4.5% for 1H 2017. Export of goods grew steadily in the reporting period, increasing by 30.1% year-on-year, while remittances rose by 19.7% year-on-year. The tourism sector also confirmed a positive trend as the number of tourists recorded an annual growth of 29.1%. As of June 2017, annual inflation stood at 7.1% due to the one-off increase in administered prices related to the introduction of the excise taxes from January 2017 and higher commodity prices. In the same period, the core inflation was 4.5%.
Accelerated economic development and a stable currency rate in 2Q 2017 continue to underpin sound growth in the banking sector. As a result, total banking loans increased by 14.8%[3] YoY as of 30 June 2017. Also, the National Bank of Georgia's de-dollarisation initiatives introduced from the beginning of this year proved to be successful as we continued to see a positive trend in the reduction of the dollarization level in the banking sector.
In terms of operating performance, usage of our digital channels continue to grow, especially mobile banking. In the second quarter of 2017, the number of transactions conducted via mobile banking was 1.5 times higher than those via internet banking and the number of mobile banking-only users reached approximately 100,000, marking a 29% increase quarter-on-quarter. We also continue to actively enhance our Chat Bot capabilities with the recent addition of new feature-P2P transfers.
Finally, I am also pleased to announce that TBC Bank has won two country and four regional awards in Digital Banking assigned by Global Finance in recognition of our continued innovation in our digital capabilities. TBC Bank has been named Best Consumer and Corporate Digital Bank in Georgia; Best Integrated Consumer and Corporate Bank Site in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). We are also proud to be awarded for the first time Best Bank in Social Media and Best Mobile Banking App for Corporate in the CEE region. Furthermore, Euromoney Magazine assigned to TBC Bank "the Best Bank in Georgia Award for 2017," acknowledging our efforts to provide the best customer experience in Georgia, develop the best multichannel capabilities in the region, and continue to deliver superior financial results.
Outlook
The favorable macroeconomic conditions combined with our leading positions in the market lay a strong foundation for our future growth prospects. Thus, we would like to reiterate our targets: ROE above 20%, cost to income ratio below 40%, dividend pay-out ratio at 25-35% and loan book growth at c.15% and tier 1 capital adequacy ratio around 10.5%. At the same time, we will continue to focus on extracting cost synergies after the successful integration of Bank Republic; and continue to further enhance our multichannel capabilities, superior customer experience, as well as utilising our cross selling opportunities to increase net fee and commission income and product per customer ratio[4].
Economic Overview
Information set out below relating to the broad economic overview in 2Q 2017, sets the context for TBC Bank's operating activities and financial results. Around 99% of TBC Bank's operations take place in Georgia and, although developments in the CEE, CIS as well as immediate Caucasus region are an important factor in the regional business climate, the bank's performance is therefore largely affected by the developments in the Georgian economy.
The economic growth continues to outperform the initial projections for 2017. Initial estimates show that in 1H 2017 GDP growth averaged 4.5%, compared to the forecast for the whole year of 3.5% and 4% by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Georgian government respectively. The improvement in economic growth in the 1Q 2017 was broad-based across almost all sectors of the economy. Construction (+21.6% YoY), manufacturing (+6.2% YoY) and transport and communications sector (+7.3% YoY) were the major drivers of growth in 1Q 2017. Growth remained robust in Hotels and Restaurants (+8.3%), Financial Sector (+6.8% YoY), Real estate (+6.3%) while most of the other sectors of the economy also increased in real terms in 1Q 2017 compared to the same period last year.
The favourable external environment continues to underpin growth in export, tourism and remittances inflows. The regional setting improved markedly since the end of 2016, with the economies of all of major trading partners showing improvements in growth rates compared to the 2016 figures.
The current account deficit showed sizeable improvement, in 1Q 2017 the deficit to GDP ratio stood at 11.8%, down from 13.5% in the same period of the previous year. Sharp growth in export inflows (+4.8% of GDP YoY) almost fully balanced for the increased imports and the trade balance in goods worsened slightly by 0.1% of GDP YoY. The significant growth of tourism inflows boosted the trade balance in services from 8.3% in 1Q 2016 to 10.5% in 1Q 2017. Transfers also went up by 1.2% of GDP YoY in 1Q 2017, largely offsetting the decrease of the income account by 1.4% of GDP. Major positive components of current account balance maintained growth trends, implying that it improved further in 2Q 2017.
Annual growth of exports of goods remained at an impressive 30% in 2Q 2017, with the 1H 2017 export growth figure averaging 30.1% YoY. Export growth has been solid to EU countries, recording a +30.4% YoY in 1H 2017. The sharpest rise in export was registered towards CIS markets (+61.2% YoY), partly to be explained by the low base registered in previous years, as in 2015-2016 exports contracted the most towards this region. Exports to other states increased by a relatively modest 8.7%. However, it is worth highlighting that export to China continues impressive growth, in 1H exports to this market was up by 34% YoY, making China the second largest destination for Georgian exports. Free trade agreement with China is expected to enter into force by the end of 2017 further improving growth potential of Georgian exports to the largest market of the world.
From the goods perspective, traditional export commodities such as ferro-alloys (+106.1% YoY), wines (+53% YoY), other spirits (+27.4% YoY) and mineral waters (+16% YoY) contributed the most to the export growth in 1H 2017. In addition, the increase of copper ores re-export (+46.1% YoY), medications (+37.8% YoY) and cars (+13% YoY) also supported the export figures.
Some setbacks in oil and metal commodities' prices, a sharper reduction in imports of passenger cars, resulted in a slower annual import growth in 2Q 2017 (+3.6% YoY), compared to previous quarter (+15.1% YoY). As a result of the lower growth of imports, the trade balance improved by 6.7% YoY or by about USD 90 mln in 2Q 2017.
Overall in 1H 2017 imports of goods increased by 8.8% YoY, mostly due to the higher imports of petroleum products and medicaments. Growth of imports was fully offset by expanding exports, in 1H 2017 trade balance remained broadly unchanged (-0.2% YoY) on an annual basis.
The tourism industry maintained impressive growth rates, in 1H 2017 the number of tourists increased by 29.1% YoY while money inflows from the tourism grew by an estimated 26.2% YoY to USD 1.1 billion.
The positive trend was confirmed by the remittances inflow which in 2Q increased by 17.6% YoY, following a 22.3% YoY increase in 1Q 2017. This growth was primarily driven by growth of transfers from Israel (+102.2% YoY), Russia (+14.5% YoY), Turkey (+24.8% YoY), USA (+16.6% YoY) and Italy (+11.1% YoY).
The improved external inflows enabled the National Bank of Georgia ("NBG") to start refilling its international reserves. In 2Q 2017 the NBG purchased about USD 90 million on the foreign exchange market to remove excessive appreciating pressure on the GEL exchange rate. In 2Q 2017 USD/GEL exchange rate appreciated by 1.5% QoQ, while in the same period the GEL depreciated by 4.5% against the EUR.
As expected at the beginning of 2017, the headline inflation exceeded the target due to the one-off increase in administered prices related to the introduction of the excise taxes from January 2017 as well as higher commodity prices on the global markets. As of June 2017, annual inflation stood at 7.1% while core[5] inflation remained close to target at 4.5% over the same period. Direct impact of increased excise taxes on tobacco, petroleum and higher oil prices on CPI inflation stood at c. 2.7 pp, which should gradually decrease by the end of 2017. The NBG tightened the policy rate modestly to 7% in early May, from 6.5% of end-2016, and left it unchanged during the following two monetary policy committee meetings, announcing that the current level of policy rate, was enough to ensure that inflation would move to the 3% target starting from next year. Over the medium term the refinancing rate is expected to gradually align closer to its long run neutral rate of 5-6%.
In order to ensure fiscal sustainability after the significant profit tax reform, the government has taken the number of steps, including the increase of excise taxes on petroleum, cars, tobacco and imposing stricter controls to current spending In 1H 2017 fiscal deficit stood at an estimated 1.3% of GDP, 1.8 pp lower compared to the same indicator of the last year. Narrower fiscal deficit reflects better-than-expected economic growth as well as a more prudent management of current and social spending by the government. Approval of IMF's 3 year program in the first half of 2017 is an additional factor ensuring the public finances will remain healthy over the medium term.
To sum up, the improved external environment, coupled with a more active public infrastructure spending and gradual improvement in consumer and business[6] expectations lays the foundations for the economy to outperform the initial expectation for the FY 2017 making Georgia one of the top performers compared to CIS and or CEE region in 2017 in terms of economic growth rates.

1H 2017 to 1H 2016 Comparison
In 1H 2017, net interest income grew by 34.9% YoY to GEL 292.1 million (GEL 234.5 million without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect), resulting from a 43.0% higher interest income and 57.1% higher interest expense.
Without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, interest income increased by GEL 55.8 million, or 16.4% YoY, mainly driven by a higher interest income from loans to customers by GEL 51.5 million, or 17.0%, which is primarily related to the 30.8% gross loan portfolio increase. An increase in interest income from investment securities (comprising both investment securities available for sale and bonds carried at amortized cost) of GEL 1.0 million, or 3.5% also contributed to the overall increase. This resulted primarily from the large rise in the respective portfolio. This effect was magnified by a higher net interest income from due from other banks by GEL 1.4 million or 55.9%, which was caused by the large increase in respective portfolio.
The Bank Republic effect mainly contributed a GEL 84.9 million, or 19.4%, to the interest income from loans and advances to customers, which totaled GEL 438.8 million in 1H 2017, and GEL 4.9 million, or 25.9%, to interest income from investment securities, which totaled GEL 19.1 million in 1H 2017. As a result, the overall Bank Republic estimated contribution effect was GEL 90.8 million, or 18.6%, to the interest income.
Loan yields declined over the same period from 13.5% to 12.1%. The drop was driven by a decrease in rates on FC-denominated loans, from 10.2% to 9.3%, as well as by decline in GEL-denominated loans rates from 19.6% to 16.9%. The decline of yields on investment securities, from 9.2% to 7.9%, over the same period is related to a lower average refinance rate in the country in 1H 2017 compared to 1H 2016. As a result, the yields on average interest earning assets dropped from 12.3% in 1H 2016 to 11.1% in 1H 2017.
In the reporting period, without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, interest expense increased by GEL 38.5 million, or 30.9% YoY. The rise was mainly due to a higher interest expense on due to customer accounts by GEL 23.1 million, or 32.8%, and due to credit institutions by GEL 14.1 million or 36.7%. The increase in interest expense on customer accounts primarily resulted from the 56.1% rise in the respective portfolio. The increase in interest expense on due to credit institutions was driven by the large increase in portfolio.
The Bank Republic estimated contribution effect added a GEL 14.8 million, or 13.7%, to the interest expense on customer accounts, which amounted GEL 108.4 million in 1H 2017 and GEL 16.4 million or 23.7% to interest expense on interest expense due to credit institutions, which amounted GEL 69.0 million. As a result, the overall Bank Republic contribution effect was a GEL 32.6 million, or 16.7%, to the interest expense.
The cost of deposits decreased by 0.1 pp to 3.4% in 1H 2017. The cost of borrowing dropped to 6.3% compared to 8.1% in 1H 2016. This was mainly due to the 3.2 pp decrease in rates on Lari-denominated borrowings and the 0.8 pp decrease in rates on FC-denominated borrowings. As a result, the cost of funding ratio declined by 0.3 pp to 4.4% in 1H 2017.
Consequently, NIM was 6.7% in 1H 2017, compared to 7.8% in 1H 2016.
2Q 2017 to 2Q 2016 Comparison
In 2Q 2017, the net interest income increased by GEL 42.1 million, or 39.1% YoY to GEL 149.7 million (GEL 119.5 million without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect), as a result of a GEL 83.7 million, or 50.4%, increase in interest income and a GEL 41.6 million, or 71.2%, rise in interest expense, compared to 2Q 2016.
Without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, the GEL 38.8 million growth, or 23.3% YoY, increase in interest income was mainly due to a GEL 33.3 million, or 22.5%, increase in interest income from loans. This in turn was due to the 30.8% rise in the loan portfolio. The gain in interest income was also driven by the growth in interest income from investment securities (comprising both investment securities available for sale and bonds carried at amortized cost) by GEL 3.3 million, or 20.6%, which resulted from the significant increase in respective portfolio.
The Bank Republic estimated contribution effect added a GEL 42.5 million, or 19.0%, to the interest income from loans and advances to customers, which amounted GEL 223.7 million in 2Q 2017. It is also added GEL 1.9 million, or 10.3%, to interest income from investment securities, which amounted to GEL 18.1 million in 2Q 2017. Consequently, the overall Bank Republic contribution effect was a GEL 45.0 million, or 18.0%, to the interest income. In the reporting period loan yields declined from 13.3% to 12.4% resulting from the decrease in FC rates from 9.9% to 9.5% and decrease in GEL rates from 19.8% to 17.0%. The decrease in yields on investment securities, by 1.3 pp to 7.8%, is in line with the refinance rate decrease. Consequently, these changes led to the decrease in yields on average interest earning assets from 12.2% in 2Q 2016 to 11.3% in 2Q 2017.
Without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, interest expense amounted to GEL 86.0 million, marking as increase of GEL 27.5 million, or 47.0% YoY. The growth was primarily attributable to the increased interest expense on due to credit institutions by GEL 14.1 million, or 86.4%, and due customer accounts by GEL 12.9 million, or 37.2%. The former resulted from the expansion in the respective portfolio, while the increase in interest expense on customer accounts was due to a 43.3% rise in respective portfolio.
The Bank Republic estimated contribution added GEL 7.4 million, or 13.5%, to the interest expense on customer accounts, which amounted to GEL 54.6 million in 2Q 2017. It also added GEL 6.3 million, or 17.1%, to the interest expense on due to credit institutions, which totaled GEL 36.6 million in 2Q 2017. Consequently, the Bank Republic contribution effect was GEL 14.1 million or 14.1% to expense.
The rate on credit institutions decreased by 1.5 pp to 6.4%, while the cost of deposits increased by 0.1 pp to 3.5%. As a result, the cost of funds stood at 4.5%, unchanged from 2Q 2016.
Consequently, NIM decreased to 6.8% in 2Q 2017, compared to 7.9% in 2Q 2016.
2Q 2017 to 1Q 2017 Comparison
On a QoQ basis, net interest income increased by GEL 7.4 million, or 5.2% QoQ, to GEL 149.7 million due to a 12.1 million, or 5.1%, higher interest income and GEL 4.7 million, or 4.9%, higher interest expense.
The increase in interest income mainly resulted from the increase in interest income on loans by GEL 8.6 million, or 4.0%, which in turn was due to the 0.5 pp increase in yields on loans to 12.4% and the 3.7% increase in loan portfolio. The increase in loan yields stemmed from 0.2 pp rise in GEL rates to 17.0% and 0.2 pp increase in FC rates to 9.5%. The rise in interest income was also driven by the increase in interest income from investment securities by GEL 1.5 million, or 16.9%, which was mainly driven by a 13.9% increase in respective portfolio. This effect was slightly offset by the reduced yields on such securities by 0.6 pp to 7.8%. Yields on investment securities dropped despite the slight increase in refinance rate due to the increased demand on local securities from the banking sector. As a result, yields on average interest earning assets increased to 11.3%, compared to 11.1% in 1Q 2017.
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the rise in the interest expense on borrowed funds from financial institutions by GEL 4.2 million, or 13.1%, which resulted from the 9.5% increase in the respective portfolio and 0.3 pp increase in respective rate to 6.4%. It should be noted, that all Bank Republic borrowings have been re-negotiated, resulting in net positive effect on P&L. The GEL 0.7 million, or 1.3% QoQ increase in interest expense on customer deposits was mainly due to the 9.8% increase in respective portfolio and a 0.1 pp rise in the cost of deposits, to 3.5%. As a result, the cost of funds increased to 4.5%, from 4.4% in 1Q 2017.
Consequently, on a QoQ basis, NIM increased by 0.2 pp to 6.8%.

1H 2017 to 1H 2016 Comparison
Total other operating non-interest income and insurance profit increased by GEL 18.5 million, or by 41.3% YoY, to GEL 63.3 million in 1H 2017. This increase was mainly driven by a GEL 17.3 million or 61.8% increase in net gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations mainly driven by increased trade volume. The rise is also due to a GEL 3.1 million increase in insurance profit and a GEL 0.9 million increase in gain from sale of investment properties. The increase across these items, was largely offset by a GEL 8.8 million drop in net gains less losses from disposal of investment securities available for sale due to one-off gain from sale of investment security in 2Q 2016. The Bank Republic's estimated contribution in total other operating non-interest income was GEL 14.1 million or 22.2% , out of which GEL 7.6 million was related to gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations.
2Q 2017 to 2Q 2016 Comparison
Total other operating non-interest income and insurance profit increased by GEL 1.8 million or by 6.6% YoY, to GEL 28.6 million in 2Q 2017. This increase was mainly driven by the GEL 9.8 million or 72.7% increase in gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations mainly driven by increased trade volume, and GEL 1.9 million increase in insurance profit. This effect was largely offset by GEL 8.8 million decrease in gains less losses from disposal of investment securities available for sale due to one-off case mentioned above. The Bank Republic's estimated contribution was GEL 5.0 million or 17.4%, out of which GEL 3.6 million was related to gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations.
2Q 2017 to 1Q 2017 Comparison
On a QoQ basis, total other operating non-interest income and insurance profit contracted by GEL 6.1 million, or by 17.5%, primarily driven by the GEL 7.5 million decrease in other operating income related to the gain on sale of Credit Info shares and fair value adjustments on the Bank Republic loan portfolio in 1Q 2017. This effect was slightly offset by a GEL 1.0 million or 4.7% increase in gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations.

Total
NPL coverage and collateral coverage ratios stayed broadly stable at 84% and 219% respectively.
Liabilities
As of 30 June 2017, TBC Bank's total liabilities amounted to GEL 9,590.3 million, up by 75.7% YoY and by 10.5% QoQ. The YoY growth of GEL 4,133.0 million was primarily due to a GEL 2,396.6 million, or 56.1%, increase in customer deposits (GEL 1,847.1 million or 43.3% increase without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect). Total liabilities also grew due to the increase in amounts due to credit institutions by GEL 1,522.6 million and following a rise in subordinated debt by GEL 107.3 million. All these increases in liabilities largely resulted from the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect.
On a QoQ basis, total liabilities increased by GEL 908.3 million, or 10.5%, primarily due to the GEL 595.6 million, or 9.8%, increase in customer deposits, due to liquidity needs. This mainly resulted from the growth in corporate deposits. A GEL 201.2 million, or 9.5%, rise in amounts due to credit institutions increased contributed to the growth of total liabilities.
Liquidity
The Bank's liquidity ratio, as defined by the NBG, stood at 34.2% as of 30 June 2017, compared to 33.3% and 29.4% as of 30 June 2016 and 31 March 2017, respectively.
Total Equity
As of 30 June 2017, TBC's total equity amounted to GEL 1,690.5 million, up from GEL 1,314.9 million as of 30 June 2016, and from GEL 1,680.5 million as of 31 March 2017. YoY change in equity was mainly due to net profit contribution of GEL 335.4 million, which was offset by a GEL 74.8 million (consisting of GEL 66.7 million Cash based and GEL 8.1 million Share based) dividend distribution (gross of tax). QoQ change was primarily due to net profit, which increased total equity by GEL 79.9 million, which was largely offset by a GEL 74.8 million dividend distribution.
Regulatory Capital
As of 30 June 2017, the Bank's Basel II/III Tier 1 and Total Capital Adequacy Ratios (CAR) stood at 10.8% and 14.6%, respectively, compared to 12.6% and 15.7% as of 30 June 2016, and 11.3% and 14.9% as of 31 March 2017. The minimum capital requirements set by the NBG for Basel II/III Tier 1 and Total Capital Adequacy Ratios are 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively.
The Bank's Basel II/III tier 1 capital amounted to GEL 1,282.9 million, compared to GEL 999.2 million as of 30 June 2016 and GEL 1,115.2 million as of 31 March 2017. The Bank's Basel II/III total capital amounted to GEL 1,732.8 million, compared to GEL 1,241.5 million as of 30 June 2016 and GEL 1,472.7 million as of 31 March 2017. Risk weighted assets were GEL 11,866.0 million as of 30 June 2017, up by GEL 3,953.5 million YoY and up by GEL 1,987.9 million QoQ.
QoQ Tier 1 and total capital increased by GEL 167.7 million mainly due to the Bank Republic integration effect and net profit which was partially reduced due to the disbursement of dividends. Bank Republic integration effect was comprised of a release in regulatory capital deductions from significant investments in the capital of financial subsidiaries, which was partially offset by the increase in goodwill, as well as a decrease in retained earnings related to IFRS vs NBG accounting difference. Additional increase in total capital with the amount of GEL 92.4 million, was related to the increase in subordinated loans, general reserves and Bank Republic merger effect on Tier 2.
QoQ risk weighed assets increased by 1,987.9 million due to addition of Bank Republic's risk weighted assets as well as organic growth of the bank's loan book.

Exchange Rates
To calculate the Balance Sheet items' QoQ growth without currency exchange rate effect, we used USD/GEL exchange rate of 2.4452 as of 31 March 2017. For calculations of YoY growth without currency exchange rate effect, we used USD/GEL exchange rate of 2.3423 as of 30 June 2016. The USD/GEL exchange rate as of 30 June 2017 equaled 2.4072. For P&L items growth calculations without currency effect, we used the average USD/GEL exchange rate for the following periods: 2Q 2017 of 2.4187, 1Q 2017 of 2.6029, 2Q 2016 of 2.2127.
Segment Definition & Bank Republic Contribution Assumption
Segment Definitions:
Corporate: legal entities with an annual revenue of GEL 8.0 million or more or who have been granted a loan in an amount equivalent to USD 1.5 million or more. Some other business customers may also be assigned to the corporate segment or transferred to MSME on a discretionary basis;
MSME: business customers who are not included in either corporate or retail segments; or legal entities who have been granted a Pawn shop loan;
Retail: non-business individual customers or individual business customers who have been granted a loan in an amount equivalent below USD 8 thousand; all individual customers are included in retail deposits.
Corporate Centre and Other Operations: comprise the Treasury, other support and back office functions, and non-banking subsidiaries of the Group;
Business customers: legal entities or individuals who have been granted a loan for business purpose.
Bank Republic Contribution Assumptions:
To make YoY analyses more comparable, the bank has segregated Bank Republic contribution after the merger on 8th of May 2017, which is based on direct income and cost attribution calculation and where not practicable, based on established allocation rules, appropriate management assumptions and estimates.
The management has estimated Bank Republic contribution effect within the Group's financial results based on the following rationale:
§ Loan and deposit portfolio as well as the interest income and expense from these portfolios have been calculated for all existing clients of Bank Republic having outstanding exposure for the reporting period, as well as for all new clients attracted through the former branches of Bank Republic
§ For the remaining items of B/S and P&L where the direct attribution is not practical, the management has used the allocation based on Bank Republic loan and deposit books contribution to each operating segment

(**) Income on NBG reserves and Nostros are calculated as benchmark minus margin whereby benchmarks are correlated with Libor. According to NBG regulation from March, 2016 it is possible to apply negative interest rates on NBG reserves and correspondent accounts, therefore these two items close the gap in case of both upward and downward movement of Libor rate.
(***) The Bank considers that current and saving deposits promptly react to interest rate changes on the market (within 1 month prior notification)

17) IFRS 9 project update
The Bank is in the process of implementing IFRS 9 standard, which will come into effect starting from 1st January 2018.
Relevant Change Areas for the Bank
§ Key areas of IFRS 9 are classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting
§ Based on the Bank's Business model no significant changes are expected from classification and measurement and hedge accounting
§ Key changes come from the impairment part, where the standard moved from incurred credit loss to expected credit loss model
IFRS 9 Project
§ The Bank started the IFRS 9 implementation project in June 2016
§ The project is carried out with support from Deloitte
§ In parallel to methodology and model development, the Bank is in the process of respective software implementation
High Level Expected Impact
§ During the project's gap analysis phase, a high level impact assessment was performed, which applied simplified approaches e.g. for macro factors incorporation
§ Based on the results of the impact assessment,, calculated on 31 March 2017 loan portfolio, the provision level for the portfolio is expected to increase in the range of 0.2-0.5% of the loan book (6-18% of provision level). However, the final impact may be different, considering the Bank's finalised models and methodologies and the macro outlook
§ The expected impact is in the lower range of market expectations, due to the fact that the Bank already applies a conservative approach under the IAS 39 provisioning methodology
§ Based on EBA's report from November 2016, which covers sample of 50 financial institutions in Europe, the estimated increase of provisions compared to the current levels of provisions under IAS 39 is on average 18%, with upper limit being 30% for 86% (75th percentile) of respondents. The assessment is done on a high level applying simplified approaches, with one macro scenario being one of the simplifications
§ No impact is expected on capital adequacy ratios, which are calculated based on local standards, and profit and loss statement as the amount will directly affect equity.
18) Income tax guidance
Our effective Income tax guidance for 2017-2018 is in the range of 6-9% due to changes in Georgian Tax Code in relation to corporate income tax. Beginning from 2017, reinvested profit will become tax-free for all companies except for financial services companies, which will benefit from 2019.
19) NBG Loan Larisation Program
The NBG Larisation program consist of two parts:
§ One-time conversion program. On 11 January 2017, in order to ease the increased debt service burden caused by the exchange rate fluctuation, the government of Georgia approved a subsidised, one-time program on the voluntary conversion of US dollar-denominated bank loans of individuals into lari loans. The program started on 17 January and lasted for two months. As a result, loans of up to USD 80 million were converted in GEL through this Program
§ Issue of small loans in local currency only. Based on an amendment to the civil code, from 15 January 2017, individuals will only be able to borrow amounts up to GEL 100,000 in the national currency
Loans of up to USD 80 million were converted in GEL through the Larisation Program:

20) NBG Initiatives
Newly introduced Liquidity Coverage Ratio
NBG has introduced new liquidity requirements (NBG LCR) for short-term liquidity risk management purposes, which is developed under Basel III with additional constraints above Basel requirements. This requirement will come into force starting from September and will slightly increase the effective liquidity requirements.
The Limits are defined for total and as well for both GEL and FC currencies:
Limits Our performance (30 Jun 2017)
§ Total LCR>=100% 106%
§ GEL LCR>=75% 96%
§ FC LCR>=100% 113%
Together with the introduction of LCR, in order to improve management of long-term liquidity, NBG plans to implement Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which will void existing liquidity requirement.
In 2016, the NBG initiated several measures to promote larization and increase public trust in the domestic currency. Within NBG LCR framework the national currency is treated preferentially.
Newly introduced changes to RWA under Capital Adequacy Framework
NBG has also introduced PTI and LTV ratio for retail loans which will affect loans issued after 30 November 2017. The exposures which are out of the defined range will be assigned higher risk weights from normal 75-100% to higher 100-150%. These changes will have negative effect on capital, however are expected to be compensated through higher pricing of such loans. In addition, NBG has also increased the group exposure limit from GEL 350,000 to GEL 2 million for the regulatory retail category.

Upcoming changes in the Capital Adequacy Framework
The NBG is reviewing the existing capital adequacy regulation and is going to introduce certain changes. Currently these changes are in draft form and are being discussed with the banks and other stakeholders. Estimated introduction date is Q4 2017.
The summary of main changes:
§ Current capital requirement will be divided across Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 buffers to increase clarity and comparability
§ Capital conservation buffer currently incorporated in minimum capital requirements will be separated
§ Systemic risk buffer will be introduced for systematically important banks over 3 year period
§ Countercyclical capital buffer will be introduced and the rate will be 0%
§ Additional loan portfolio concentration buffer will be introduced under Pillar 2
§ Current conservative weighting for CICR will be replaced by appropriate Pillar 2 buffer (Unhedged Currency Induced Credit Risk Buffer)
§ GRAPE buffer defined by the supervisor will be applied based on the bank specific risks
The exact requirements, as well as amount of the buffers and its impact on the capital planning is not yet determined. Based on the initial assessments the changes should not impact the growth and dividend guidelines.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Risk management is a critical pillar of the Group's strategy and in order to perform it effectively it is essential to identify emerging risks and uncertainties. The following table presents the principal risks that could adversely impact the Group's performance, financial condition and future prospects. The Group's performance may be affected by additional risks and uncertainties other than the ones listed below and some yet unknown risks that emerge in the future.
Principal risk |
Risk description |
Risk mitigation |
The Group faces currency induced credit risk due to the high dollarisation of the Group's portfolio. The risk of further depreciation of GEL is one of the most significant risks with negative impact on the portfolio quality. This is due to high dollarisation of the Group's balance sheet. Unhedged borrowers could suffer from increased debt burden when their FX denominated liabilities are amplified. |
A significant share of the Group's loans (and by large of the total banking sector loans in Georgia) is denominated in currencies other than GEL, particularly US Dollar. As of 30 June 2017 the National Bank of Georgia (hereafter NBG) reported that, 57.9% of total banking sector loans were denominated in foreign currencies. As at the same date, 60.8% of the Group's total gross loans and advances to customers (before provision for loan impairment) were denominated in foreign currencies. The income of a number of customers is directly linked to US Dollars via remittances, or exports in case of business borrowers, and some customers hedge their exposure through savings in US Dollars. Nevertheless, customers may not be protected against significant fluctuations of the exchange rates of the GEL against the currency of the loan.
The GEL exchange rate has been mainly consistent with those of Georgia's trading partners. It depreciated against the US Dollar by 10.5% in 2016 and has appreciated by 9.1% in first half of 2017.
The NBG operates effectively under its inflation-targeting framework. However, GEL remains in free float and is exposed to many internal and external factors that in some circumstances could result in devaluation against the US Dollar.
|
Specific attention is paid to currency-induced credit risk due to the portfolio's high dollarisation. The vulnerability towards exchange rate depreciation is monitored on a frequent basis in order to promptly implement the action plan in case of need. Ability to withstand certain FX depreciation is incorporated into the credit underwriting standards which also include applying significant currency devaluation buffers for the unhedged borrowers. In addition, the Group holds significant capital against currency induced credit risk. Given the experience and knowledge built throughout the recent currency volatility, the Group is in a good position to promptly mitigate emerging FX depreciation risks.
Given more stable exchange rate and improved operating environment, the level of the Group's non-performing loan portfolio decreased from 4.7% in June 2016 to 3.4% in June 2017. The Group maintains a reserve coverage of 84% with cash and 219% in cash, plus collateral.
|
The Group's performance may be compromised by adverse developments in the economic environment. The slowdown of economic growth in Georgia will have an adverse impact on the repayment capacity of the borrowers and restrain their future investment and expansion plans. These occurrences will be reflected in the Group's portfolio quality and profitability, and also impede the portfolio growth rates. Negative macroeconomic developments can compromise the Group's performance through different parameters such as higher unemployment rates, increasing retail sector default rates, falling property values, worsening loan collateralisation, lower debt service capabilities of companies suffering from decreasing sales. The political and economic instability in the neighbouring and main trading partner countries negatively impacts the economic outlook of Georgia through a worsening current account (e.g. decreasing exports, decreasing tourism inflows, lower remittances and foreign direct investments). |
As the Group operates primarily in, and sources nearly all of its revenue from Georgia, its business, financial condition and results of operations are, and will continue to be, highly dependent on the general economic conditions in the country.
During 2011-2016, the Georgian economy recorded an average real GDP growth of 4.5% per annum. In H1 2017 the growth of Georgian economy accelerated from 2.7% in 2016 and reached 4.5%.
Georgian economy is open, liberal, well diversified, and reasonably reformed. While it showed resilience during international or regional crises, it is still exposed to many internal and external developments. These could result in lower growth or, in some severe circumstances, a contraction of the economy. |
To decrease the vulnerability to the economic cycles and adverse economic developments, the Group identifies and limits its exposure to cyclical industries within its risk appetite framework.
The Group has established a macroeconomic monitoring process. This enables a closely and recurrent observation of the economic developments in Georgia, as well as its neighbouring countries, and to identify early warning signals indicating imminent economic risks. The given system allows the Group to timely assess significant economic and political occurrences and analyse their implications for the loan portfolio. The identified implications are duly translated into specific action plans with regards to reviewing the underwriting standards, risk appetite metrics or limits including limits per each of the most vulnerable industries.
Additionally, the stress testing and scenario analysis applied during the credit review and portfolio monitoring processes enable the Group to have an advance evaluation of the impact of macroeconomic shocks on the business and the portfolio.
Resilience towards a changing macroeconomic environment is also incorporated into credit underwriting standards. As such, borrowers are expected to withstand certain adverse economic developments through prudent financials, debt-servicing capabilities and conservative collateral coverage. |
The Group encounters the capital risk of not meeting the minimum regulatory requirements that may compromise growth and strategic targets.
The Bank is regulated by the NBG. The regulations and various terms of its funding and other arrangements require compliance with certain capital adequacy ratio and other ratios. Local regulatory requirements are more conservative than the current Basel standards. In addition, NBG's proposed new capital adequacy framework (discussed in this section) could increase the risk and uncertainties related to the capital management process. |
The NBG sets the minimum regulatory requirement for total capital adequacy ratio at 9.6% (Basel I) and 10.5% (Basel II/III). The Bank's capitalisation stands at 14.7% and 14.6% respectively as of 30 June 2017. In terms of Tier 1 capital, TBC Bank's capital adequacy ratio is 10.8% per Basel II/III and 9.6% per Basel I, versus the minimum requirements of 8.5% and 6.4% respectively. The ratios are above the respective regulatory minimums and additional stress buffers set by the Bank. Basel I requirements will expire by the end of 2017.
The NBG is reviewing the existing capital adequacy regulation and is going to introduce certain changes. Currently these changes are in draft form and are being discussed with the banks and other stakeholders. Estimated introduction date is Q4 2017. The summary of main changes: § Current capital requirement will be divided across Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 buffers to increase clarity and comparability § Capital conservation buffer currently incorporated in minimum capital requirements will be separated § Systemic risk buffer will be introduced for systematically important banks over 3 year period § Countercyclical capital buffer will be introduced and the rate will be 0% § Additional loan portfolio concentration buffer will be introduced under Pillar 2 § Current conservative weighting for CICR will be replaced by appropriate Pillar 2 buffer (Unhedged Currency Induced Credit Risk Buffer) § GRAPE buffer defined by the supervisor will be applied based on the bank specific risks
Finally, NBG has also introduced PTI and LTV ratio for retail loans which will affect loans issued after 30 November 2017. The exposures which are out of the defined range will be assigned higher risk weights from normal 75-100% to higher 100-150%. These changes will have negative effect on capital. In addition, NBG has also increased the group exposure limit from GEL 350,000 to GEL 2 million for the regulatory retail category. |
The Group scrutinises an introduction of the new requirements and is in close discussions with NBG. The exact requirements, as well as amount of the buffers and its impact on the capital planning is not yet determined. Based on the initial assessments the changes should not impact the growth and dividend guidelines.
As part of the ongoing capital management process, the Group undertakes stress-testing and sensitivity analysis to quantify extra capital consumption under different scenarios. Based on such analyses, the Group holds extra capital buffers to steadily meet the existing minimum regulatory requirements. Capital forecasts, as well as the results of the stress tests and what-if scenarios, are actively monitored with the involvement of the Bank's Management Board (the "Management Board") and its risk committee to ensure prudent management and timely actions when needed.
With regards to the changes in PTI and LTV, the Group expects to compensate negative capital impact through appropriate pricing of such loans.
|
The Group is exposed to concentration risk. Banks operating in developing markets are typically exposed to both single name and sector concentration risks. The Group has large individual exposures to single name borrowers. Their eventual default will entail increased credit losses and high impairment charges. The Group's portfolio is well diversified across sectors, resulting in only a moderate vulnerability to sector concentration risks. However should exposure to common risk drivers increase, the risks are expected to amplify correspondingly. |
The Group's loan portfolio is diversified, with maximum exposure to a single industry (i.e. energy and utility) standing at 8.6%.. The share of top 20 borrowers' exposure decreased from 14.4% to 13.0% YoY. |
The Group constantly checks its concentrations to single counterparties as well as sectors and common risk drivers, and introduces limits for risk mitigation. As part of the Risk Appetite Framework, the Group limits both name concentration as well as sectorial concentrations. Any considerable change in the economic or political environment, in Georgia or neighboring countries, will trigger the Group's review of the risk appetite criteria in order to mitigate emerging risk concentrations. Stringent monitoring tools are in place to ensure the compliance with the set limits. In addition, the Bank has dedicated restructuring teams to manage weakened borrowers. When it is deemed necessary, clients are transferred to such teams for a more efficient handling and, ultimately, to limit resulting credit risk losses. According to the Basel II Pillar 2 guidelines, the Group has developed a model to estimate unexpected losses from single name borrowers and sector concentration. This model ensures that the Group remains adequately capitalised towards concentration risks. |
Liquidity risk is inherent in the Group's operations. While the Board believes that the Group currently has sufficient financial resources available to meet its obligations as they fall due, liquidity risk is inherent in banking operations and can be heightened by a number of factors. These include an
overreliance on, or an inability, to access a particular source of funding, changes in credit ratings or market-wide phenomena, such as, for example, the global financial crisis that commenced in 2007. Access to credit for companies in emerging market is significantly influenced by the level of investor confidence and, as such, any factors affecting investor confidence (for example, a downgrade in credit ratings, central bank or state interventions or debt restructurings in a relevant industry) could influence the price or availability of funding for companies operating in any of these markets.
Although, the Group believes there is adequate liquidity to withstand significant withdrawals of customer deposits, but the unexpected and rapid withdrawal of a substantial amount of deposits could have a material adverse impact on the Group's business, financial condition, and results of operations and/or prospects.
In addition, NBG introduced a new liquidity management framework described in this section, which has increased the effective liquidity requirement for the Group. While the new requirement decreases structural liquidity risk through more adequate framework, it has increased the risk of not meeting minimum liquidity requirement. |
Throughout H1 2017 the Group was in compliance with Risk Appetite limits, as well as the minimum liquidity requirements set by the NBG. As of 30 June 2017, the net loan to deposits plus IFI funding ratio stood
at 90.6%, liquidity coverage ratio[9] was at 352% and net stable funding ratio was at 129%[10].
NBG has introduced new liquidity requirements (NBG liquidity coverage ratio, "LCR") for short-term liquidity risk management purposes, which is developed under Basel III with additional constraints above Basel requirements.
Based on the new framework, the limits are defined for total and as well for both GEL and FC currencies as follows:
§ Total LCR>=100% § GEL LCR>=75% § FC LCR>=100%
This requirement will come into force starting from September and will slightly increase the effective liquidity requirements.
Together with the introduction of LCR, in order to improve management of long-term liquidity, NBG plans to implement Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which will void existing liquidity requirement. |
The group is already prepared for the new liquidity requirement and as of June 30 2017 the Group is compliant with the newly introduced LCR requirement.
To properly manage liquidity, the group operates with time-tested forecasting and monitoring framework and holds appropriate liquidity buffers. The Group performs an outflow scenario analysis for both normal and stress circumstances to make sure that they can be met by the Group's liquid assets and cash inflows. The Group maintains diversified funding structure to manage respective liquidity risk.
Furthermore, the new framework both increases the effective liquidity requirement and improves the liability structure through appropriate liquidity requirement.
As a part of liquidity risk management framework the Group has a Liquidity Contingency Plan in place outlining risk indicators for different stress scenarios and respective action plans. |
Any decline in the Group's net interest income or net interest margin could lead to a reduction in profitability. The net interest income accounts for the majority of the Group's total income. Consequently, fluctuations in its net interest margin affect the results of operations. High competition on the local banking sector could drive interest rates down, compromising the Group's profitability. At the same time, the cost of funding is largely exogenous to the Group and is derived based on both the national and international markets.
Recent decrease in margins have a negative contribution to the Group's profitability. Above mentioned new liquidity requirement could have further negative effect on the margins and profitability of the Group. |
The majority of Group's total income derives from net interest income. Consequently, the Group's results of operations are affected by fluctuations in its net interest margin ("NIM"). In Q2 2017 the NIM stood at 6.8% down by 1.1 pp yoy and up by 0.2 pp QoQ. The reduction in NIM was driven by the Group's proactive decision to strengthen the market position across all segments and products in the anticipation of falling yields on the market.
The Group tries to close a direct exposure to LIBOR and the local refinancing rates or, where this is not feasible, price them appropriately. As of 30 June 2017, GEL 1,880 million in assets (17%) and GEL 1,301 million in liabilities (14%) were floating, related to the LIBOR/ FED/ECB (deposit facility) rates. During the same period GEL 1,529 million of assets (14%) and GEL 1,711 million of liabilities (18%) were floating related to the NBG's refinancing rate. |
Still high level of current margins, continuous increase in fee and commission income and efforts in cost optimisation represents a safeguard against margin declines posing profitability concerns for the Group. Pricing framework and profitability analysis assist the Group in decision making. In cases where loans are extended on fixed terms rather than floating, the interest rate risk is adequately translated into price premiums, safeguarding against increasing interest rates.
The Group expects margins to decrease in the medium term. The decrease has been included in the forecast which provides the basis for the Group's guidance.
In addition, the Group expects that the decreasing effect will be compensated in practice by increased fee and commission income and decreased unit cost spent per transaction. |
The threat posed by cyber-attacks has increased in recent years and it continues to grow. The risk of potential cyber-attacks, which have become more sophisticated, may lead to significant security breaches. Such risks change rapidly and require continued focus and investment. |
No major cyber-attack attempts have targeted a Georgian commercial banks in recent years. Nonetheless, the Group's increasing dependency on IT systems increases its exposure to potential cyberattacks. |
The Group actively monitors, detects and prevents risks arising from cyber-attacks. The Group's staff monitors developments on both local and international markets to increase awareness of emerging forms of cyber-attacks. Intrusion Prevention and DDoS protection systems are in place to protect the Group from external cyber-threats. Security incident and event monitoring system in conjunction with respective processes and procedures are in place to handle cyber-incidents effectively. Processes are continuously updated and enhanced in order to respond to new potential threats. The Data Recovery Policy is in place to ensure business continuity in case of serious cyber-attacks. |
The Group is exposed to regulatory risk. The Group's activities are highly regulated and thus face regulatory risk. The local regulator, the National Bank of Georgia, can increase the prudential requirements across the whole sector as well as for specific institutions within it. Therefore, the Group's profitability and performance may be compromised by an increased regulatory burden, including higher capital requirements. In this context, recent NBG initiatives are relevant, whereby, while these initiatives improve risk profile of the Group (though mainly higher liquidity, better diversified liability and stronger capital position), they could negatively impact Profitability, growth and dividend plans of the group if the changes are not properly reflected into the pricing.
The group is also subject to certain UK, European or global regulations that increase the regulation risk or the regulatory uncertainty. |
The Bank is regulated by the NBG. In addition to mandatory capital adequacy and liquidity ratios (please see capital and liquidity risks), the NBG sets lending limits and other economic ratios, including, inter alia, lending ratios, and investment ratios. Under the Georgian banking regulations, the Bank is required, among other things, to comply with minimum reserve requirements and mandatory financial ratios and regularly file periodic reports. The Bank is also regulated by respective tax code or other relevant laws in Georgia. Following the Company's listing on the London Stock Exchange's premium segment, the Group became subject to increased regulations from the UK Listing Authority. In addition to its banking operations, the Group also offers other regulated financial services products, including leasing, insurance and brokerage services. The Group's current operations in Azerbaijan (through TBC Kredit) are required to comply with the Azerbaijani regulations. The Group's operations remain in full compliance with all relevant legislation and regulations. The Group is also subject to financial covenants in its debt agreements and is fully compliant with all covenants. . |
The Group has established systems and processes to ensure full regulatory compliance. The dedicated compliance department, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer is the primary responsible for the regulatory compliance. However, the compliance is embedded in all levels of the Bank. The Group's Risks, Ethics and Compliance Committee is responsible for the regulatory compliance at the Board level. In terms of banking regulations as well as Georgia's taxation system, the Group is closely engaged with the regulator to ensure that new procedures and requirements are discussed in detail before their implementation. While the decisions made by the regulator are beyond the Group's control, significant regulatory changes are usually preceded by a consultative period that allows all lenders to provide feedback and adjust their business practice. |

Independent review report to TBC Bank Group plc
Report on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information
Our conclusion
We have reviewed TBC Bank Group plc's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information (the "interim financial statements") for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2017. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
What we have reviewed
The interim financial statements comprise:
· the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017;
· the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period then ended;
· the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended;
· the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and
· the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 2 to the interim financial statements, the financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review
Our responsibilities and those of the directors
The interim financial statements are the responsibility of, and have been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial statements in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
What a review of interim financial statements involves
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis of preparation. This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2017 has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2016, which has been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and any public announcements made by TBC Bank Group PLC during the interim reporting period.
Except as described below, the same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information as used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Going Concern. The Board of Directors of TBC Bank Group PLC has prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. In making this judgement the management considered the Group's financial position, current intentions, profitability of operations and access to financial resources, and it analysed the impact of the recent financial crisis on future operations of the Group. The management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Interim period tax measurement. Interim period income tax expense is accrued using the effective tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, that is, the estimated weighted average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.
Foreign currency translation. At 30 June 2017 the closing rate of exchange used for translating foreign currency balances was USD 1 = GEL 2.3423 (31 December 2016: USD 1 = GEL 2.6468); EUR 1 = GEL 2.7444 (31 December 2016: EUR 1 = GEL 2.7940); GBP 1 = GEL 3.1192 (31 December 2016: GBP 1 = GEL 3.2579).
Estimates and judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim financial information:
Impairment losses on loans and advances and finance lease receivables. The Group regularly reviews its loan portfolio and finance lease receivables to assess impairment. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the Group conclude whether there is, or not, any observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans or finance lease receivables before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group. When scheduling future cash flows the management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. A 5% increase or decrease between actual loss experience and the loss estimates used will result in an additional or lower charge for loan loss impairment of GEL 10,606 thousand (30 June 2016: GEL 9,505 thousand) and additional charge for impairment of finance lease receivables of GEL 58.9 thousand (30 June 2016: GEL 40.7 thousand), respectively.
Impairment provisions for individually significant loans and leases are based on the estimate of discounted future cash flows of the individual loans and leases taking into account repayments and realisation of any assets held as collateral against the loan or the lease. A 5% increase or decrease in the actual future discounted cash flows from individually significant loans which could arise from a mixture of differences in amounts and timing of the cash flows will result in an additional or lower charge for loan loss provision of GEL 876 thousand (30 June 2016: GEL 2,638 thousand), respectively.
A 5% increase or decrease in the actual future discounted cash flows from individually significant leases which could arise from a mixture of differences in amounts and timing of the cash flows will result in an additional or lower charge for provision of GEL 61.4 thousand (30 June 2016: GEL 40.7 thousand), respectively.
Deferred and current income tax. On 13 May 2016 the Government of Georgia enacted the changes in the Tax Code of Georgia effective from 1 January 2019, for commercial banks, credit unions, insurance organizations, microfinance organizations and pawnshops and from 1 January 2017 for other entities. The new code impacts the recognition and measurement principles of the Group's income tax and it also affects the Group's deferred income tax assets/liabilities. Companies do not have to pay income tax on their profit before tax (earned since 1 January 2017 or 1 January 2019 for commercial banks, credit unions, insurance organizations, microfinance organizations and pawnshops) until that profit is distributed in a form of dividend or other forms of profit distributions. Once dividend is paid, 15% income tax is payable at the moment of the dividend payment, regardless of whether in monetary or non-monetary form, to the foreign non-resident legal entities and foreign and domestic individuals. The dividends paid out to the resident legal entities are tax exempted. Apart from dividends' distribution, the tax is still payable on expenses or other payments incurred not related to economic activities, free delivery of goods/services and/or transfer of funds and representation costs that exceed the maximum amount determined by the Income Tax Code of Georgia, in the same month they are incurred.
As of 30 June 2017, deferred tax assets/liabilities are re-measured to the amounts that are estimated to be utilized in the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018.
The adopted accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous financial year. There were no new or amended standards or interpretations that resulted in a change of the accounting policy.
Minor amendments to IFRSs
The IASB has published a number of minor amendments some of which has not yet been endorsed for use in the EU. The Group has not early adopted any of the amendments effective after 31 December 2016 and it expects they will have an insignificant effect, when adopted, on the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of TBC Bank Group PLC.
Major new IFRSs
The IASB has published IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and IFRS 16 'Leases'. IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 have been endorsed for use in the EU and IFRS 16 has not yet been endorsed.
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement" (amended in July 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Key features of the new standard are:
· Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: (i) those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, (ii) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and (iii) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL);
· The classification for debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). If a debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised cost if it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments in line with the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an entity both holds to collect assets' cash flows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain cash flows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL (for example, derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in assessing the SPPI condition;
Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, the management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss;
· Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key difference is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income;
· IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses - the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). In case of a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model includes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables;
· Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align more closely the accounting with the risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply IAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.
IFRS 9 implementation project started in June 2016. In parallel to methodology and model development, the Bank is in the process of respective software implementation. Based on the Bank's Business model, no significant changes are expected from classification and measurement and hedge accounting parts of the standard. During the project's gap analysis phase, a high level impact assessment was performed which applied simplified approaches e.g. for macro factors incorporation. Based on the results of the impact assessment results calculated on 31 March 2017 loan portfolio, the provision level for the portfolio is expected to increase in the range of 0.2-0.5% of the loan book (6-18% of provision level). However the final impact may be different, considering the Bank's finalized models and methodologies and the macro outlook.
No impact is expected on capital adequacy ratios, which are calculated based on local standards, and profit and loss statement as the amount will directly affect equity.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued on 28 May 2014 and effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognized when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognized, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognized if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalized and amortized over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.
IFRS 16, Leases (issued on 13 January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also to access financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognize: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

As of 30 June 2017, 96% of the correspondent accounts and overnight placements with other banks are placed with OECD banking institutions (31 December 2016: 96%). As of 30 June 2017, GEL 124,564 thousand included in cash balances with National Bank of Georgia have been pledged to local banks or other financial institutions as collateral with respect to other borrowed funds (31 December 2016: GEL nil).
As of 30 June 2017, GEL 159,763 thousand was placed on interbank term deposits with two OECD banks and one Georgian bank (31 December 2016: GEL 772 thousand with one OECD bank).
Amounts due from other banks include placements with original maturities of more than three months that are not collateralised and represent neither past due nor impaired amounts at the 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016. As of 30 June 2017 GEL 16,229 thousand (31 December 2016: GEL 19,511 thousand) were kept on deposits as restricted cash. Refer to Note 27 for the estimated fair value of amounts due from other banks.
As of 30 June 2017 the Group had loan issued to one bank, with original maturities of more than three months and with aggregated amounts above GEL 5,000 thousand (2016: nil).
Mandatory cash balances with the National Bank of Georgia ("NBG") represent amounts deposited with the NBG. Resident financial institutions are required to maintain an interest-earning obligatory reserve with the NBG, the amount of which depends on the level of funds attracted by the financial institutions. The Group earned up to 0.9% annual interest on the mandatory reserve with the NBG in the six months ended 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: nil).
In September 2016 Fitch Ratings re-affirmed Georgia's long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'BB-' with Stable Outlooks. The issue ratings on Georgia's senior unsecured foreign- and local-currency bonds are also affirmed at 'BB-'. The Country Ceiling is affirmed at 'BB' and the Short-term foreign-currency IDR at 'B'.

Following the merger of Bank Republic with TBC Bank, the Group has reassessed its definition of segments as disclosed in note 18. Some of the clients were reallocated to different segments. Relevant changes are applied to all periods presented in this report. As per current presentation, micro and SME loans are combined in one MSME category. Consumer loans include all retail loans, except mortgage loans. Other loans category which represented pawn shop loans as per prior presentation, was split between consumer and MSME category.
As of 30 June 2017 loans and advances to customers carried at GEL 240,001 thousand have been pledged to local banks or other financial institutions as collateral with respect to other borrowed funds (31 December 2016: GEL 120,093 thousand).

Loans and advances to customers written off in the first half of 2017 included loans to customers in the gross amount of GEL 4,444 thousand issued in 2017 and GEL 64,606 thousand issued in previous years.
At year-end 2016 the Bank updated its methodology for loan loss provisioning purposes to include impairment assessment of acquired portfolios. As per the upgraded methodology, an impairment allowance is not created on the initial recognition of purchased portfolio considering that expected losses are reflected in fair value of the portfolio. For the next reporting periods, the impairment allowance is recognised if the incurred losses at the reporting date have increased compared to the level of incurred losses at the moment of acquisition.

The Group applied the portfolio provisioning methodology prescribed by IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and it created portfolio provisions for impairment losses that were incurred but have not been specifically identified with any individual loan by the end of reporting period.
The tables above provide an analysis of the loan portfolio based on credit quality. The Group's policy for credit risk management purposes is to classify each loan as 'neither past due nor impaired', 'past due but not impaired', 'individually assessed impaired loans' and 'collectively assessed impaired loans'. The pool of 'neither past due nor impaired loans' includes exposures that are not overdue and are not classified as impaired. 'Past due but not impaired' loans include overdue performing loans but with no objective evidence of impairment identified. The classification includes as well triggered loans that are not impaired because the current value of the expected cash and collateral recoveries are sufficient for full repayment. 'Individually assessed impaired loans' include exposures which were assessed for impairment on an individual basis, and an ad-hoc impairment allowance was created. 'Collectively assessed impaired loans' include exposures for which objective evidence of impairment was identified and the respective collective impairment allowance was created. The Group conducts collective assessment of the borrowers on a monthly basis. As for the individual assessment, it is performed quarterly.
The amount and type of collateral required depend on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. There are three key types of collateral:
· Real estate;
· Movable property including fixed assets, inventory and precious metals;
· Financial assets including deposits, stocks, and third party guarantees.
The financial effect of collateral is presented by disclosing the collateral values separately for (i) those assets where collateral and other credit enhancements are equal to or exceed the assets' carrying value ("over-collateralised assets") and (ii) those assets where collateral and other credit enhancements are less than the assets' carrying value ("under-collateralised assets").

The effect of collateral is determined by comparing the fair value of collateral to outstanding gross loans and advances in the reporting date.
At the central level a specific unit manages collateral to ensure that they serve as an adequate mitigation for credit risk management purposes. In line with the Group's internal policies, collateral provided to loans are evaluated by the Internal Appraisal Group (external reviewers are used in case of loans to related parties or specific cases when complex objects are appraised). The Internal Appraisal Group is part of the collateral management unit and, in order to ensure adequate and objective appraisal procedures, it is independent from the loan granting process. Real estate collateral of significant value is re-evaluated annually by internal appraisers. Statistical methods are used to monitor the value of real estate collateral that are of non-significant value and other types of collaterals such as movable assets and precious metals.
Collateral values include the contractual price of third-party guarantees, which, due to their nature, are capped at the loan's carrying value. The values of third-party guarantees in the tables above amounted to GEL 463,957 thousand and GEL 608,058 thousand as of 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016, respectively. These third-party guarantees are not taken into consideration when assessing the impairment allowance. Refer to Note 27 for the estimated fair value of each class of loans and advances to customers. Interest rate analysis of loans and advances to customers is disclosed in Note 24. Information on related party balances is disclosed in Note 28.

Construction in progress consists of construction and refurbishment of branch premises and the Bank's new headquarters. Upon completion, assets are to be transferred to premises.
Premises were revalued to market value on 30 September 2015. The valuation was carried out by an independent firm of valuators which holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and who have recent experience in valuation of assets of similar location and category. In the process of comparison, they have used three comparative analogues (registered sale and/or offer for sale), in which prices were applied adjustments based on the difference between subject assets and analogues. Most of the assets have been estimated by using the market approach/method due to the market situation, namely by existence of a sufficient number of registered sales and proposals by the date of valuation. At Bank Republic acquisition date of 20 October 2016, valuation of assets was performed. Fair value of respective assets is disclosed below.
The management considers that the fair value has not changed significantly between 30 September 2015 (or 20 October 2016 in case of JSC Bank Republic's assets) and 30 June 2017.

Credit related commitments and performance guarantees: Provision was created against losses incurred on financial and performance guarantees and commitments to extend credit to borrowers whose financial conditions deteriorated.
Impairment allowance estimation methods differ for (i) letter of credits and guarantees and (ii) undrawn credit lines.
For letter of credits and guarantees allowance estimation purposes the Bank classifies borrowers as significant and non-significant ones. Triggered significant guarantees and letter of credits are assessed for impairment on an individual basis, whereas for not triggered significant and all non-significant ones the Bank estimates allowances applying statistical risk parameters, such as credit conversion factor and loss given default.
Undrawn credit lines are classified as committed and uncommitted exposures, with impairment allowance created for committed ones. The undrawn part of the credit lines is multiplied by the respective credit conversion factor and provisioned in the similar manner as corresponding on balance sheet exposures.
Provisions for liabilities, charges, performance guarantees and credit related commitments are primarily expected to be utilised within twelve months after the period-end.
Additions less releases recorded in profit and loss for "Other" provisions does not include gross change in total reserves for insurance claims in amount of GEL 680 thousands that are included in net claims incurred and administrative expenses.

*895,039 is the number of JSC TBC Bank shares that were not converted into the TBC Bank Group PLC shares
** Negative GEL 18,169 thousand is effect of nominal value adjustment whereby the nominal value of 49,159,880 TBC Bank Group PLC shares was changed from GEL 0.4 to one British Penny translated I n GEL with the official exchange rate on share conversion date
On 4 August 2016, the Group completed the Tender Offer under which 49,159,880 of the Bank's shares then outstanding or 98.21%, were converted into 49,159,880 shares of TBC Bank Group PLC (Note 1)
As of 30 June 2017 the total authorised number of ordinary shares was 52,784,964 shares (31 December 2016: 52,166,703 shares). Each share has a nominal value of one British Penny (31 December 2016: GEL one per share). All issued ordinary shares are fully paid and entitled to dividends.
Following the Admission (Note 15), TBCG's Directors undertook a reduction of capital in order to create distributable reserves for TBCG. The original difference between the fair value of the Bank's shares and the nominal value of TBCG's shares was credited to the merger reserve created in connection with the Tender Offer. Each TBCG share had an original (Tender Offer) nominal value of GBP 5.00 and the minimum premium amount required by the Company Act 2006 of GEL 565,030 thousand was transferred to share premium. Following the capital cut the nominal value of TBCG shares was reduced to GBP 0.01. The capital cut created a new reserve on the statement of TBCG's financial position (comprising of the reduction of the original nominal value from GBP 5.00 to GBP 0.01 per share) amounting to GEL 745,638 thousand. The reduction represents a legal and accounting adjustment and did not, in itself, have any direct impact on TBCG shares' market value. As a result of the reduction, the Group's total additional paid-in capital outstanding at the time became distributable to the shareholders and was fully reclassified to retained earnings.
These transactions were treated as a reorganisation of an existing entity that has not changed the substance of the reporting entity. The consolidated financial statements of TBCG are presented using the values from the consolidated financial statements of JSC TBC Bank. On the date that TBCG became the new parent of the Group, the statutory amounts of share capital and share premium of the Company have been recognised through an adjustment in the Statement of Changes in Equity under the heading 'Change of parent company to TBCG'. The resulting difference has been recognised as a component of equity under the heading ''Group reorganisation reserve''.
On 5 June 2017, at the Annual General Meeting, TBC Bank Group PLC's shareholders agreed on a dividend of GEL 1.42 per share, based on the 2016 audited financial statements. The dividend was recorded on 9 June 2017 at the amount of GEL 74,910 thousand. Cash dividend in the amount of GEL 66,733 thousand was paid in July 2017. Scrip dividend shares amounted to 146,703 and were issued on 14th of July.
On 23 June 2017 102,121 new ordinary shares of TBC PLC were admitted to the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange. The Offer Shares were issued pursuant to the terms of a private offer to the holders of the ordinary shares of JSC TBC Bank who have tendered Bank Shares pursuant to the Offer. The holders of Bank Shares are individuals that did not participate in the tender offer to holders made in 2016 by TBC PLC prior to TBC PLC's admission to the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange. Holders of Bank Shares received one Offer Share for each Bank Share tendered pursuant to the Offer.
June 2013 arrangement:
In June 2013, the Bank's Supervisory Board approved a new management compensation scheme for the years 2013 - 2015 and authorised a maximum of 4,150 new shares to be issued in accordance with the scheme. The authorized number of new shares has increased to 1,037,500 in order to reflect the share split 250-for-1 approved by the shareholders on 4 March 2014. According to the scheme, each year, (subject to predefined performance conditions) a certain number of shares will be awarded to the top management and some of the middle managers of the Group.
The performance evaluation is divided into (i) team goals and (ii) individual performance indicators. The total number of the shares to be awarded (legally transferred) depends on meeting the team goals and the book value per share according to the audited IFRS consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year preceding the award date. The team goals primarily focus on meeting the target for growth, profitability and portfolio quality metrics set by the Supervisory Board as well as compliance with certain regulatory requirements. The total number of shares in the bonus pool depends on achieving the team goals. Individual performance indicators are defined on an individual basis and are used to calculate the number of shares to be awarded to each employee out of the total bonus pool. Once awarded, these shares carry service conditions and, before those conditions are met, are eligible to dividends. However, they do not carry voting rights and cannot be sold or transferred to third parties. Service conditions foresee continuous employment until the gradual transfer of the full title to the scheme participants is complete. Shares for each of the 2013, 2014 and 2015 tranche gradually ran over on the second, third, and fourth year following the performance appraisal. Eighty percent of the shares were vested in the fourth year after being awarded. Under this compensation system the total vesting period extends to June 2019.
Under the management compensation scheme, both shareholders and Supervisory Board held put options on the shares to be awarded. In addition, they both held put options on all bonus shares awarded under the previous share-based payment arrangements. All the put-options became null and void upon the listing on the LSE in June 2014. At no point of the operation of the share-based payment scheme did the management expect the put-options to be exercised. Consequently, the scheme was accounted for as equity-settled scheme and no obligation was recognized for the put-options.
In 2013 the Group considered 20 June as the grant date. Based on the management's expectation of performance and service conditions, 732,000 shares have been granted and will be gradually awarded to the members of the described scheme. An external evaluator assessed the fair value per share at the grant date at GEL 13.93 adjusted for the effect of 250-for-1 share split Income and market approaches were applied for the evaluation. The market approach involved an estimate of the market capitalization to book value of equity multiple and deal price to book value of equity multiple for comparable banks. When selecting comparable banks, the appraiser chose lenders operating in the Black Sea region and Central and Eastern Europe with a portfolio mix and growth priorities similar to TBC Bank. The income approach involved discounting free cash flows to equity estimated over a 10-year horizon. When developing the projections, the following major assumptions were made:
· Over the 2013-2023 periods, the compound annual growth rate was assumed at 15.2% for loans and at 15.1% for customer accounts;
· The spread on the Bank's customer business was assumed to gradually decline from an estimated 10.2% in 2013 to stabilize at 5.8% by 2021;
· Over 2013-2023 period, non-interest income was forecast to average 1.8% of customer volume (i.e. gross loans and deposits);
· Year-on-year growth in various components of employee's compensation was assumed at 37.6%-56.0% in 2014, 2.4%-9.8% in 2015 and was then assumed to gradually decline to 2.1%-3.6% in 2023. Year-on-year growth in administrative expenses was assumed at 38.3% in 2014, 10.4% in 2015 and to gradually decline to 3.3% in 2023;
· The Bank's terminal value was estimated using the Gordon growth model, applying US long-term inflation forecast (2.1%) as the Bank's terminal cash flows growth rate;
· Bank's cost of equity was estimated at 15.10%.
The final valuation was based on the income approach and the market one was used to check the results obtained by the former. The calculated value of Bank's equity was then divided by the number of ordinary shares issued as of date and further reduced with the discount for lack of control.
June 2015 arrangement:
In June 2015, the Bank's Supervisory Board approved new management compensation scheme for the top and middle management and it accordingly authorised the issue of a maximum 3,115,890 new shares. The new system will be enforced from 2015 through 2018, replacing the system introduced in June 2013 -- the performance evaluation as well as the respective compensation for 2015 year-end results will be paid under the new system. According to the scheme, each year, subject to predefined performance conditions, a certain number of shares will be awarded to the Group's top managers and most of the middle ones. The performance features key performance indicators (KPIs) divided into (i) corporate and (ii) individual. The corporate KPIs are mainly related to achieving profitability, efficiency, and portfolio quality metrics set by the Board as well as non-financial indicators with regards to customers' experience and employees' engagement. The individual performance indicators are set on an individual basis and are used to calculate the number of shares to be awarded to each employee. According to the scheme, members of top management will also receive the fixed number of shares. Once awarded, all shares carry service conditions and, before those conditions are met, are eligible to dividends; however they cannot be sold or transferred to third parties.
Service conditions foresee continuous employment until the gradual transfer of the full title to the scheme participants is complete. Shares for each of the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 tranche gradually ran over on the second, third and fourth year following the performance appraisal. Eighty percent of the shares were vested in the fourth year after being awarded. Under this compensation system the total vesting period extends to March 2022.
In 2015 the Group considered 17 June as the grant date. Based on the management's estimate of reached targets, as of 31 December 2015 1,908,960 shares were granted. The shares will be gradually awarded to the members as per the described scheme. At the grant date the fair value amounted to GEL 24.64 per share, as quoted on the London Stock Exchange.
Following the listing on the Premium segment of the London Stock Exchange, the share-based payment scheme remained conceptually the same and was only updated to reflect the Group's new structure, whereby TBC Bank Group PLC distributes its shares to the scheme's participants, instead of JSC TBC Bank. The respective shares' value is recharged to the JSC TBC Bank. As a result, the accounting of the scheme did not change in the consolidated financial statements.
The Bank also pays personal income tax on behalf of equity settled scheme beneficiaries, which is accounted as cash settled part. Tabular information on both of the schemes is given below:

Liability in respect of the cash-settled part of the award amounted to GEL 10,535 thousand as of 30 June 2017 (31 December 2016: GEL 13,725 thousand).
Staff costs related to equity settled part of the share based payment schemes are recognised in the income statement on a straight line basis over the vesting period of each relevant tranche and corresponding entry is credited to share based payment reserve in equity.
On 30 June 2017 based on level of achievement of key performance indicators the management has reassessed the number of shares that will have to be issued to the participants of the share based payment system and decreased estimated number of shares to vest by 13,098 (30 June 2016: 8,497).
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The Management Board (the "Board) is the chief operating decision maker and it reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess the performance and to allocate resources.
In 2017, the Group has combined its micro and SME segments into one MSME category, as well as reclassified certain loans and clients among segments.
The operating segments according to the new definition are now determined as follows:
· Corporate - Legal entities with an annual revenue of GEL 8.0 million or more or who have been granted a loan in an amount equivalent to USD 1.5 million or more. Some other business customers may also be assigned to the corporate segment or transferred to MSME on a discretionary basis;
· Retail - Non-business individual customers or individual business customers who have been granted a loan in an amount equivalent below USD 8.0 thousand. All individual customers are included in retail deposits;
· MSME - Business customers who are not included in either corporate and retail segments; or legal entities who have been granted a Pawn shop loan;
· Corporate centre and other operations - comprises of the Treasury, other support and back office functions, and non-banking subsidiaries of the Group.
The Board of Directors assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted profit before income tax.
The reportable segments are the same as the operating segments.
No revenue from transactions with a single external customer or counterparty amounted to 10% or more of the Group's total revenue in as of 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016.
The vast majority of the entity's revenues are attributable to Georgia. A geographic analysis of origination of the Group's assets and liabilities is given in Note 24.
A summary of the Group's reportable segments as of 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016 is provided below:

As at 30 June 2017, the statutory income tax rate applicable to the majority of the Group's income is 15% (six months ended 30 June 2016: 15%). Interim period income tax expense is recognised based on the income tax rate expected for the full financial year which equaled 7.8% (six months ended 30 June 2016: minus 1.1%). Income tax credit in the six months period ended 30 June 2016 is due to re-measurement of deferred tax liability as at 30 June 2016 to reflect the change in the Georgian tax code. Refer to note 3.
TBC Bank Group's strong risk governance reflects the importance placed by the Board and the Group's Risks, Ethics and Compliance Committee on shaping the risk strategy and managing credit, financial and non-financial risks. All components necessary for comprehensive risk governance are embedded into risk organization structure: enterprise risk management; credit, financial and non-financial risks management; risk reporting & supporting IT infrastructure; cross-risk analytical tools and techniques such as capital adequacy management and stress-testing. Comprehensive, transparent and prudent risk governance facilitates understanding and trust from multiple stakeholders, ensures sustainability and resiliency of the business model and positioning of risk management as Group's competitive advantage and strategic enabler.
The TBC Bank Group's governance structure ensures adequate oversight and accountabilities as well as clear segregation of duties. The Risks, Ethics and Compliance Committee is responsible for taking all the day-to-day decisions relating to the Group apart from those that are reserved for the Board. Namely, the committee carries out following duties: 1) Review and assessment of the Group's risk management strategy, risk appetite and tolerance, risk management system and risk policies; 2) Review and monitoring of the processes for compliance with laws, regulations and ethical codes of practice; 3) monitoring of the remediation of internal control deficiencies identified by internal and external auditors around compliance, ethics and risk management functions; 4) Annual self-assessment of the committee's performance and reporting of the results to the Board; 5) Review of the key risk management framework and other policy documents and make recommendations to the Board for their approval.
On the Bank level, risk management is the duty of the Supervisory Board, which has the overall responsibility to set the tone at the top and monitor compliance with established objectives. At the same time, Management Board governs and directs Groups' daily activities.
Both the Supervisory Board and the Management Board have established dedicated risk committees. Risk, Ethics and Compliance Committee of Supervisory Board approves Bank's Risk Appetite, supervises risk profile and risk governance practice within the Bank while Audit Committee is responsible for implementation of key accounting policies and facilitation of activities of internal and external auditors. Management Board Risk Committee is established to guide group-wide risk management activities and monitor major risk trends to make sure risk profile complies with the established Risk Appetite of the Group. Operational Risk Committee makes decisions related to operational risk governance while Asset-Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") is responsible for implementation of ALM policies.
The Management Board of the Group and, the Supervisory Board and Senior Management of the Bank govern risk objectives through Risk Appetite Statement ("RAS") which sets desired risk profile and respective risk limits for different economic environments. Risk Appetite ("RA") establishes monitoring and reporting responsibilities as well as escalation paths for different trigger events and limit breaches which as well prompt risk teams to establish and implement agreed mitigation actions. In order to effectively implement Risk Appetite in the Group's day-to-day operations, the RA metrics are cascaded into more granular business unit level limits. That way risk allocation is established across different segments and activities. The Board level oversight coupled with the permanent involvement of the Senior Management in TBC Group risk management ensures the clarity regarding risk objectives, intense monitoring of risk profile against risk appetite, prompt escalation of risk-related concerns and establishment of remediation actions.
The daily management of individual risks is based on the principle of the three lines of defense. While business lines are primary risk owners, risk teams assume the function of the second line defense. This role is performed through sanctioning transactions as well as tools and techniques for risk identification, analysis, measurement, monitoring and reporting. The committees are established at operational levels in charge of making transaction-level decisions that comprise of component of clear and sophisticated delegations of the authority framework based on "four-eye principle". All new products/projects go through the risk teams to assure risks are analyzed comprehensively.
Such control arrangements guarantee that the Bank takes informed risk-taking decisions that are adequately priced, avoiding taking risks that are beyond the Group's established threshold. Within the Risk Organization the below teams manage the credit, liquidity, market, operational and other non-financial risks:
· Enterprise Risk Management (ERM);
· Credit Risk Management;
· Underwriting (Credit sanctioning);
· Restructuring and Collections;
· Financial Risk Management;
· Operational Risk Management.
The strong and independent structure enables fulfilment of all the required risk management functions within the second line of defense by highly skilled professionals with a balanced mix of credentials in banking and real sectors both on the local and international markets.
In addition to the above-mentioned risk teams, the Compliance Department (reporting directly to CEO) is specifically in charge of AML and compliance risk management. As the third line of defense, the Internal Audit Department provides an independent and objective assurance and recommendations to Group that facilitates further improvement of operations and risk management.
For the management of each significant risk, the Bank puts in place specific policies and procedures, governance tools and techniques, methodologies for risk identification, assessment and quantification. Sound risk reporting systems and IT infrastructure are important tools for efficient risk management of TBC Bank. Thus, significant emphasis and investments are made by the Bank to constantly drive the development of required solutions. Comprehensive reporting framework is in place for the Management Board of the Group and the Supervisory Board and the Senior Management of the Bank that enables intense oversight over risk developments and taking early remedial actions upon necessity.
Beyond the described risk governance components, compensation system features one of the most significant tools for introducing incentives for staff, aligned with the Bank's long term interests to generate sustainable risk-adjusted returns. The risk Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") are incorporated into both the business line and the risk staff remunerations. The performance management framework differentiates risk staff incentives to safeguard the independence from business areas that they supervise and at the same time enable attraction and maintenance of qualified professionals. For that purpose, the Bank overweighs risk KPIs for risk and control staff and caps the share of variable remuneration.
Credit risk. The Group is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a customer or counterparty will be unable to meet its obligation to settle outstanding amounts. The Group's exposure to credit risk arises as a result of its lending operations and other transactions with counterparties giving rise to financial assets. Maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet items equals their carrying values. For maximum exposure on off-balance sheet commitments refer to Note 26.
Credit risks include: risks arising from transactions with individual counterparties, concentration risk, currency-induced credit risks and residual risks.
- Risks arising from transactions with individual counterparties are the loss risk related to default or non-fulfillment of contracts due to deterioration in the counterparty's credit quality;
- Concentration risk is the risk related to the quality deterioration due to large exposures provided to single borrowers or a group of connected borrowers, or loan concentration in certain economic industries;
- Currency-induced credit risks relate to risks arising from foreign currency-denominated loans in the Group's portfolio;
- Residual risks result from applying credit risk-mitigation techniques, which could not satisfy expectation in relation to received collateral.
Comprehensive risk management methods and processes are established as part of the Group's risk management framework to manage credit risk effectively. The main principles for Group's credit risk management are: establish a prudent credit risk environment; operate under a sound credit-granting process; and maintain efficient processes for credit risk identification, measurement, control and monitoring. Respective policies and procedures establish a framework for lending decisions reflecting the Group's tolerance for credit risk. This framework includes detailed and formalised credit evaluation and collateral appraisal processes, administration and documentation, credit approval authorities at various levels, counterparty and industry concentration limits, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities of entities and staff involved in the origination, monitoring and management of credit.

Credit Approval: The Group strives to ensure a sound credit-granting process by establishing well-defined credit granting criteria and building up an efficient process for the comprehensive assessment of a borrower's risk profile. The concept of three lines of defense is embedded in the credit risk assessment framework, with a clear segregation of duties among the parties involved in the credit assessment process.
The credit assessment process differs across segments, being further differentiated across various product types reflecting the different natures of these asset classes. Corporate, SME and larger retail and micro loans are assessed on an individual basis with thorough analysis of the borrower's creditworthiness and structure of the loan; whereas smaller retail and micro loans are mostly assessed in an automated way applying respective scoring models for the loan approval. Lending guidelines for business borrowers have been tailored to individual economic sectors, outlining key lending criteria and target ratios within each industry.
The Loan Approval Committees are responsible to review the credit applications and approve the credit products. Different Loan Approval Committees with clearly defined delegation authority are in place for the approval of credit exposures to Corporate, SME, Retail and Micro customers (except those products which are assessed applying scorecards). The composition of a Loan Approval Committee depends on aggregated liabilities of the borrower and the borrower's risk profile. Credit risk managers (as members of respective Loan Approval Committees) ensure that the borrower and the proposed credit exposure risks are thoroughly analysed. 1. A loan to the Bank's top 20 borrowers or exceeding 5% of the Bank's regulatory capital requires the review and the approval of the Supervisory Board's Risk, Ethics and Compliance Committee. This committee also approves transactions with related parties resulting in exposures to individuals and legal entities exceeding GEL 150 and 200 thousand, respectively.
Credit Risk Monitoring: The Group's risk management policies and processes are designed to identify and analyse risk in a timely manner, and monitor adherence to predefined limits by means of reliable and timely data. The Group dedicates considerable resources to gain a clear and accurate understanding of the credit risk faced across various business segments. The Group uses a robust monitoring system to react timely to macro and micro developments, identify weaknesses in the credit portfolio and outline solutions to make informed risk management decisions. Monitoring processes are tailored to the specifics of individual segments, as well as they encompass individual credit exposures, overall portfolio performance and external trends that may impact the portfolio's risk profile. Early warning signals serve as an important early alert system for the detection of credit deteriorations, leading to mitigating actions.
Reports relating to the credit quality of the credit portfolio are presented to the Board's Risk, Ethics and Compliance Committees on a quarterly basis. By comparing current data with historical figures and analysing forecasts, the management believes that it is capable identifying risks and responding to them by amending its policies in a timely manner.
Credit Risk Mitigation: Credit decisions are based primarily on the borrower's repayment capacity and creditworthiness; in addition, the Group uses credit risk mitigation tools such as collateral and guarantees to reduce the credit risk. The reliance that can be placed on these mitigants is carefully assessed for legal certainty and enforceability, market valuation of collateral and counterparty risk of the guarantor.
A centralised unit for collateral management governs the Group's view and strategy in relation to collateral management and ensures that collateral serves as an adequate mitigating factor for credit risk management purposes. The collateral management framework consists of a sound independent appraisal process, haircut system throughout the underwriting process, monitoring and revaluations.
Credit Risk Restructuring and Collection: A comprehensive portfolio supervision system is in place to identify weakened or problem credit exposures in a timely manner and to take prompt remedial actions. Dedicated restructuring units manage weakened borrowers across all business segments. The primary goal of the restructuring units is to rehabilitate the borrower and return to the performing category. The sophistication and complexity of rehabilitation process differs based on the type and size of exposure.
A centralised monitoring team monitors retail borrowers in delinquency, which coupled with branches' efforts, are aimed at maximizing collection. The specialised software is applied for early collection processes management. Specific strategies are tailored to different sub-groups of customers, reflecting respective risk levels, so that greater effort is dedicated to customers with a higher risk profile.
Dedicated recovery units manage loans with higher risk profile. Corporate and SME borrowers are transferred to a recovery unit in case of a strong probability that a material portion of the principal amount will not be paid and the main stream of recovery is no longer the borrower's cash flow. Retail and micro loans are generally transferred to the recovery unit or external collection agencies (in the case of unsecured loans) at 90 days overdue, although they may be transferred earlier if it is evident that the borrower is unable to repay the loan.
Geographical risk concentrations. Assets, liabilities, credit related commitments and performance guarantees have generally been attributed to geographic regions based on the country in which the counterparty is located. Balances legally outstanding to/from off-shore companies which are closely related to Georgian counterparties are allocated to the caption "Georgia". Cash on hand and premises and equipment have been allocated based on the country in which they are physically held.
The geographical concentration of the Group's assets and liabilities as of 30 June 2017 is set out below:

Market risk. The Bank follows the Basel Committee's definition of market risk as the risk of losses in on- and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices. This risk is principally made up of (a) risks pertaining to interest rate instruments and equities in the trading book and (b) foreign exchange rate risk (or currency risk) and commodities risk throughout the Bank. The Bank's strategy is not to be involved in trading book activity or investments in commodities. Accordingly, the Bank's exposure to market risk is primarily limited to foreign exchange rate risk in the structural book.
Currency risk. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from the potential change in foreign currency exchange rates, which can affect the value of a financial instrument. This risk stems from the open currency positions created due to mismatches in foreign currency assets and liabilities. The NBG requires the Bank to monitor both balance-sheet and total aggregate (including off-balance sheet) open currency positions and to maintain the later one within 20% of the Bank's regulatory capital. As of 30 June 2017, the Bank maintained an aggregate open currency position of 1.6% of regulatory capital (2016: 3.2%). The Asset-Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") has set limits on the level of exposure by currency as well as on aggregate exposure positions which are more conservative than those set by the NBG. The Bank's compliance with such limits is monitored daily by the heads of the Treasury and Financial Risk Management Departments.
Currency risk management framework is governed through the Market Risk Management Policy, market risk management procedure and relevant methodologies. In 2016 within the ICAAP framework the Bank developed methodology for allocating capital charges for FX risk following Basel guidelines. The table below summarises the Group's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at the balance sheet date. While managing open currency position the Group considers all provisions to be denominated in the local currency. Gross amount of currency swap deposits is included in Derivatives. Therefore total financial assets and liabilities below are not traceable with either balance sheet or liquidity risk management tables, where net amount of gross currency swaps is presented:

To assess the currency risk the Bank performs a value-at-risk ("VAR") sensitivity analysis on a quarterly basis. The analysis calculates the effect on the Group's income determined by possible worst movement of currency rates against the Georgian Lari, with all other variables held constant. To identify the maximum expected losses resulting from currency fluctuations, a 99% confidence level is defined based on the monthly variations in exchange rates over 3 year look-back period. During the six months ended 30 June 2017 and the year ended 31 December 2016 the sensitivity analysis did not reveal any significant potential effect on the Group's equity:

Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from potential changes in the market interest rates that can adversely affect the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instrument. This risk can arise from maturity mismatches of assets and liabilities, as well as from the re-pricing characteristics of such assets and liabilities.
The Bank's deposits and the most loans are at fixed interest rates, while a portion of the Bank's borrowings is at a floating interest rate. The Bank's floating rate borrowings are, to a certain extent, hedged by the NBG paying a floating rate on the minimum reserves that the Bank holds with the NBG. The Bank has also entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to mitigate interest rate risk. Furthermore, many of the Bank's loans to customers contain a clause allowing it to adjust the interest rate on the loan in case of adverse interest rate movements, thereby limiting the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk. The management also believes that the Bank's interest rate margins provide a reasonable buffer to mitigate the effect of possible adverse interest rate movements.
The table below summarises the Group's exposure to interest rate risks. It illustrates the aggregated amounts of the Group's financial assets and liabilities at the amounts monitored by the management and categorised by the earlier of contractual interest re-pricing or maturity dates. Currency and interest rate swaps are not netted when assessing the Group's exposure to interest rate risks. Therefore, total financial assets and liabilities below are not traceable with either balance sheet or other financial risk management tables. The tables consider both reserves placed with NBG and Interest bearing Nostro accounts. Income on NBG reserves and Nostros are calculated as benchmark minus margin whereby for benchmark Federal funds rate and ECB rates are considered in case of USD and EUR respectively. Therefore, they have impact on the TBC's Net interest income in case of both upward and downward shift of interest rates.

As of 30 June 2017, if interest rates had been 100 basis points lower with all other variables held constant, profit for the period would have been GEL 6,417 thousands higher (30 June 2016: GEL 800 thousand), mainly as a result of lower interest expense on variable interest liabilities. Other comprehensive income would have been GEL 4,935 thousand higher (30 June 2016: GEL 1,116 thousand), as a result of an increase in the fair value of fixed rate financial assets classified as available for sale and repurchase receivables.
If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher, with all other variables held constant, profit would have been GEL 6,417 thousands lower (30 June 2016: GEL 800 thousand), mainly as a result of higher interest expense on variable interest liabilities. Other comprehensive income would have been GEL4,760 thousand lower (30 June 2016: GEL 1,093 thousand), as a result of decrease in the fair value of fixed rate financial assets classified as available for sale.
With the assistance of Ernst & Young LLC the Bank has developed an advanced model to manage the interest rate risk on a standalone basis. The interest rate risk analysis is performed monthly by the Financial Risk Management Department.
The Bank calculates the impact of changes in interest rates using both Net Interest Income and Economic Value sensitivity. Net Interest Income sensitivity measures the impact of a change of interest rates along the various maturities on the yield curve on the net interest revenue for the nearest year. Economic Value measures the impact of a change of interest rates along the various maturities on the yield curve on the present value of the Group's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. When performing Net Interest Income and Economic Value sensitivity analysis, the Bank uses parallel shifts in interest rates as well as number of different scenarios. Under the ICAAP framework, TBC Bank reserves capital in the amount of the adverse effect of possible parallel yield curve shift scenarios on net interest income over a one-year period for Basel II Pillar 2 capital calculation purposes.
In order to manage Interest Rate risk the Bank establishes appropriate limits. The Bank monitors compliance with the limits and prepares forecasts. ALCO decides on actions that are necessary for effective interest rate risk management and follows up on the implementation. Periodic reporting is done to Management Board and the Board's Risk, Ethics and Compliance Committee.
Liquidity Risk. The liquidity risk is the risk that TBC Bank either does not have sufficient financial resources available to meet all of its obligations and commitments as they fall due, or can access those resources only at a high cost. The risk is managed by the Financial Risk Management and Treasury Departments and is monitored by the ALCO.
The principal objectives of the TBC Bank's liquidity risk management policy are to: (i) ensure the availability of funds in order to meet claims arising from total liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments, both actual and contingent, at an economic price; (ii) recognise any structural mismatch existing within TBC Bank's statement of financial position and set monitoring ratios to manage funding in line with well-balanced growth; and (iii) monitor liquidity and funding on an ongoing basis to ensure that approved business targets are met without compromising the risk profile of the Bank.
The liquidity risk is categorised into two risk types: the funding liquidity risk and the market liquidity risk.
Funding liquidity risk is the risk that TBC will not be able to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected current and future cash flow and collateral needs without affecting either its daily operations or its financial condition. To manage funding liquidity risk TBC Bank uses the Liquidity Coverage ratio and the Net Stable Funding ratio set forth under Basel III, as well as minimum liquidity ratio defined by the NBG. In addition the Bank performs stress tests, what if and scenarios analysis.
The Liquidity Coverage ratio is used to help manage short-term liquidity risks. The Bank's liquidity risk management framework is designed to comprehensively project cash flows arising from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items over certain time bands and ensure that liquidity coverage ratio limits are put in place. TBC Bank also stress tests the results of liquidity through large shock scenarios set by the NBG. Internal liquidity coverage ratio and stress tests are carried out on a weekly basis.
The Net Stable Funding ratio is used for long-term liquidity risk management to promote resilience over a longer time horizon by creating additional incentives for TBC Bank to rely on more stable sources of funding on a continuous basis. The Bank also sets deposit concentration limits for large deposits and deposits of non-Georgian residents in its deposit portfolio.
Net Stable Funding ratio is calculated based on the IFRS consolidated financial statements. In addition, for internal purposes TBC Bank calculates NSFR ratio on the basis of standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with NBG's accounting rules.
The management believes that a strong and diversified funding structure is one of TBC Bank's differentiators. The Bank relies on relatively stable deposits from Georgia as the main source of funding. In order to maintain and further enhance the liability structure TBC Bank sets the targets for retail deposits in its strategy and sets the loan to deposit ratio limits.
The loan to deposit ratio (defined as total value of net loans divided by total value of deposits) stood at 107.6% and 110.5%, at the 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016, respectively.
Market liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank cannot easily offset or eliminate a position at the then-current market price because of inadequate market depth or market disruption. To manage it, TBC Bank follows Basel III guidelines on high-quality liquidity asset eligibility in order to ensure that the Bank's high-quality liquid assets can be sold without causing a significant movement in the price and with minimum loss of value.
In addition, TBC Bank has a liquidity contingency plan, which is part of the Bank's overall prudential liquidity policy and is designed to ensure that TBC Bank is able to meet its funding and liquidity requirements and maintain its core business operations in deteriorating liquidity conditions that could arise outside the ordinary course of its business.
The Bank calculates its liquidity ratio on a daily basis in accordance with the NBG's requirements. The limit is set by the NBG for average liquidity ratio, which is calculated as the ratio of average liquid assets to average liabilities for the respective month, including borrowings from financial institutions and part of off-balance sheet liabilities with residual maturity up to 6 months. As of 30 June the ratios were well above the prudential limit set by the NBG as follows:
|
30 June 2017 |
31 December 2016 |
Average Liquidity Ratio |
34.2% |
30.8% |
|
|
|
According to daily cash flow forecasts and the surplus in liquidity standing, the Treasury Department places funds in short-term liquid assets , largely made up of short-term risk-free securities, interbank deposits and other inter-bank facilities, to ensure that sufficient liquidity is maintained within the Group as a whole.
Maturity analysis. The table below summarizes the maturity analysis of the Group's financial liabilities, based on remaining undiscounted contractual obligations as of 30 June 2017 Subject-to-notice repayments are treated as if notice were to be given immediately. However, the Group expects that many customers will not request repayment on the earliest date the Group could be required to pay and the table does not reflect the expected cash flows indicated by the Group's deposit retention history.

The undiscounted financial liability analysis gap does not reflect the historical stability of the current accounts. Their liquidation has historically taken place over a longer period than the one indicated in the tables above. These balances are included in amounts due in less than three months in the tables above.
Term Deposits included in the customer accounts are classified based on remaining contractual maturities, according to the Georgian Civil Code, however, individuals have the right to withdraw their deposits prior to maturity if they partially or fully forfeit their right to accrued interest and the Group is obliged to repay such deposits upon the depositor's demand. Based on the Bank's deposit retention history, the management does not expect that many customers will require repayment on the earliest possible date; accordingly, the table does not reflect the management's expectations as to actual cash outflows.
The Group does not use the above undiscounted maturity analysis to manage liquidity. Instead, the Group monitors the liquidity gap analysis based on the expected maturities. In particular, the customers' deposits are distributed in the given maturity gaps following their behavioural analysis.
As of 30 June 2017 the analysis by expected maturities may be as follows:

The management believes that the Group has sufficient liquidity to meet its current on- and off-balance sheet obligations.
In order to assess the possible outflow of the bank's customer accounts management applied value-at-risk analysis. The statistical data was used on the basis of a holding period of one month for a look-back period of five years with a confidence level of 99%. The value at risk analysis was performed for the following maturity gaps: (0-1 months), (0-3 months), (0-6 months) and (0-12 months), based on which the maximum percentage of deposits' outflow was calculated.
Management believes that in spite of a substantial portion of customers' accounts being on demand, diversification of these deposits by number and type of depositors, and the past experience of the Group would indicate that these customer accounts provide a long-term and stable source of funding for the Group. Moreover, the Group's liquidity risk management includes estimation of maturities for its current deposits. The estimate is based on statistical methods applied to historic information on the fluctuations of customer account balances.
Operating environment. Most of the Group's business is based in Georgia. Over the last few years the Georgian government has embarked in a number of civil, criminal, tax, administrative and commercial reforms that have positively affected the overall investment climate of the country. Today Georgia has an international reputation as a country with a favourable investment environment. Georgia continued to progress in the report "Doing Business 2017" by the World Bank (WB) and International Financing Corporation (IFC), ranking as the 16th easiest country in the world to do business (out of 190), up by 7 steps compared to the previous year rankings. The country improved its ranking in almost all categories, confirming its position as regional leader and outperforming most of the EU economies. Georgia also boasts low corruption levels, a low tax burden, and high transparency of its institutions according to the number of surveys by international institutions.
The domestic economic environment remains stable and the banking sector continues to grow, supported by broader macroeconomic stability and attractive business climate. Economic growth continues to outperform the initial projections of growth for 2017. In H1 2017 GDP growth averaged 4.5%, per initial estimates, above the IMF's 3.5% and government's 4% growth forecast for FY 2017. Improvement in economic growth in Q1 2017 was broad-based on almost all sectors of the economy. Construction (+21.6% YoY), manufacturing (+6.2% YoY) and transport and communications sector (+7.3% YoY) represented major drivers of growth in Q1 2017, while all other sectors of the economy posted positive annual growth rates. Agriculture was the only sector of the economy to decline moderately by 1.5% YoY in Q1 2017.
Favourable external environment continues to underpin growth in export, tourism and remittances inflows. Regional environment improved markedly since the end of 2016, with all of the major trading partner economies showing improvements in growth rates compared to 2016 figures.
Current Account deficit showed sizeable improvement, in spite of the increasing imports of goods driven mostly by higher commodity prices. In Q1 2017 CA deficit to GDP ratio stood at 11.8%, down from 13.5% in the same period previous year. Balance of trade in goods worsened slightly by 0.1% of GDP YoY, sharp improvement in export inflows (+4.8% of GDP YoY) almost fully offset increasing imports in Q1 2017. Sharp growth of tourism inflows boosted the balance of trade in services from 8.3% in Q1 2016 to 10.5% in Q1 2017. Transfers also went up by 1.2% of GDP YoY in Q1 2017, this largely offsets 1.4% of GDP deterioration of income account. Major positive components of CA balance maintained growth trends, implying that CA balance improved further in Q2 2017 as well.
Improved external inflows enabled NBG to start refilling its international reserves. In Q2 2017 NBG purchased c. USD 90 mln on FX market to remove excessive appreciating pressure on GEL exchange rate. In Q2 2017 USD/GEL exchange rate appreciated by 1.5% QoQ, while GEL depreciated by 4.5% against EUR over the same period.
As expected in the beginning of 2017, headline inflation exceeded the target due to the one-off increase in administered prices as well as higher commodity prices on global markets. As of June, 2017 annual inflation stood at 7.1% while core[11] inflation remained close to target at 4.5%, over the same period. NBG tightened policy rate modestly from 6.5% as of the end of 2016 to 7% as of the beginning of May. During the following 2 meetings of monetary policy committee policy rate was left unchanged at 7% as NBG judged the current tightening was enough to ensure inflation goes to 3% target starting from the next year, as one-off factors start to dissipate. Over the medium term refinancing rate is expected to gradually align closer to its long run neutral rate of 5-6%
Fiscal deficit narrowed to an estimated 1.3% of GDP in H1 2017[12] , down from 3.1% of GDP in H1 2016. Negative impact on government tax revenues from the profit tax reform was fully offset by increased revenues from excise taxes. In addition, better than expected economic growth as well as more prudent approach towards the current spending of the government contributed positively to the reduction of budget deficit. Government debt retreated from its historical high of 44.5% in Q4 2016 to 42% of GDP as of the end of Q2 2017, partially helped by the 9% appreciation of GEL against USD in first 6 months of 2017.
To sum up, improved external environment, coupled with the more active public infrastructure spending and gradual improvement in consumer as well as business[13] expectations lays ground for the economic growth to outperform the initial expectation for the FY 2017 making Georgia one of the top performer in CIS and CEE region in 2017 in terms of economic growth rates.
The Group's objectives in terms of capital management are to maintain appropriate levels of capital to support the business strategy, meet regulatory and stress testing-related requirements and safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Group's capital management objectives entail ensuring that the Bank complies with the capital requirements set by the Basel Capital Accord 1988 capital adequacy ratios as stipulated by borrowing agreements. The compliance with capital adequacy ratios set by the NBG is monitored monthly with the reports outlining their calculation and are reviewed and signed by the Bank's CFO and Deputy CFO.
The NBG is reviewing the existing capital adequacy regulation and is going to introduce certain changes. Currently these changes are in draft form and are being discussed with the banks and other stakeholders. Estimated introduction date is quarter 4 2017.
The summary of main changes is as follows:
· Current capital requirement will be divided across Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 buffers to increase clarity and comparability;
· Capital conservation buffer currently incorporated in minimum capital requirements will be separated;
· Systemic risk buffer will be introduced for systematically important banks;
· Countercyclical capital buffer will be introduced and the rate will be 0%;
· Additional loan portfolio concentration buffer will be introduced under Pillar 2;
· Current conservative weighting for CICR will be replaced by appropriate Pillar 2 buffer (Unhedged Currency Induced Credit Risk Buffer);
· GRAPE buffer defined by the supervisor will be applied based on the bank specific risks;
· PTI and LTV ratio thresholds will be introduced for the retail loans. The exposures which are out of the defined range will be assigned higher risk weights from normal 75-100% to higher 100-150%.
The exact requirements, as well as amount of the buffers and its impact on the capital planning is not yet determined. Based on the initial assessments the changes should not impact the growth and dividend guidelines.
The Bank and the Group complied with all its internally and externally imposed capital requirements throughout the six months periods ended 30 June 2017 and the year 2016.
NBG Basel I Capital adequacy ratio
Under the Basel I capital requirements set by the NBG in 2017 banks have to maintain a ratio of regulatory capital to risk weighted assets ("statutory capital ratio") above the minimum level of 9.6% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets above the minimum level of 6.4%. No additional add-ons are in place. In mid-2015, the NBG removed previously established 3% capital add-on. The regulatory capital is based on the Bank's standalone reports prepared in accordance with the NBG accounting rules:

NBG Basel II Capital adequacy ratio
After adopting the NBG Basel II/III requirements, the Bank, in addition to above capital ratios calculates its capital requirements and risk weighted assets separately for Pillar 1. The NBG provides detailed instructions of Pillar 1 calculations. The reporting started at the end of 2013. The composition of the Bank's capital calculated in accordance with Basel II (Pillar I) is as follows:

Legal proceedings. The Bank is a defendant in a number of legal claims. When determining the level of provision to be set up with regards to such claims, the management seeks both internal and external professional advice. The management believes that the provision recorded in these financial statements is adequate.
Tax legislation. Georgian and Azerbaijani tax and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and changes, which can occur frequently. The management's interpretation of the legislation as applied to the Group's transactions and activity may be challenged by the relevant authorities. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for five calendar years preceding the review period. To respond to the risks, the Group has engaged external tax specialists to carry out periodic reviews of Group's taxation policies and tax filings. The Group's management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and the Group's tax and customs positions will be sustained. Accordingly, as of 30 June 2017 and 31 December 2016 no provision for potential tax liabilities has been recorded.
Operating lease commitments. Where the Group is the lessee, as of 30 June 2017, the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases over the next year amounted to GEL 5,421 thousand (31 December 2016: 5,016 thousand).
Compliance with covenants. The Group is subject to certain covenants primarily related to its borrowings. Non-compliance with such covenants may result in negative consequences for the Group including growth in the cost of borrowings and declaration of default. As disclosed in Note 11, as of 31 December 2016, TBC Kredit had breached certain borrowing covenants agreed with foreign financial institution lenders. The major reason for the breach was drastic devaluation of Azerbaijani Manat in February and December 2015. Apart from this, the Group was in compliance with
all other covenants as of 31 December 2016. In 2017, TBC Kredit was no longer in breach. As of 30 June 2017 the Group was in compliance with all covenants.
Credit related commitments and financial guarantees. The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Financial guarantees and standby letters of credit, which represent the irrevocable assurances that the Group will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties, carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit, that are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions, are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate or cash deposits and therefore carry less risk than a direct borrowing.
Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to prolong credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group is potentially exposed to a loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is lower than the total unused commitments since most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit related commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term ones.
Performance guarantees. Performance guarantees are contracts that provide compensation in case of another party fails to perform a contractual obligation. Such contracts do not transfer credit risk. The risk under the performance guarantee contracts is the possibility that the insured event occurs (i.e.: the failure to perform the contractual obligation by another party). The key risks the Group faces are significant fluctuations in the frequency and severity of payments incurred on such contracts, relative to expectations.
Outstanding credit related commitments and performance guarantees are as follows:

The total outstanding contractual amount of undrawn credit lines, letters of credit, and guarantees does not necessarily represent future cash requirements, as these financial instruments may expire or terminate without being funded. Non-cancellable commitments as of 30 June 2017 were GEL 208,053 thousand (31 December 2016: GEL 169,831 thousand).
Fair value of credit related commitments and financial guarantees were GEL 7,151 thousand as of 30 June 2017 (31 December 2016: GEL 8,049 thousand). Total credit related commitments and performance guarantees are denominated in currencies as follows:

There were no changes in the valuation technique for the level 2 and level 3 recurring fair value measurements during the six month period ended 30 June 2017 (2016: none).
For details the techniques and inputs used for Level 3 recurring fair value measurement of (as well as reconciliation of movements in) premises refer to Note 10. The unobservable input to which the fair value estimate for premises is most sensitive is price per square meter: the higher the price per square meter,
the higher the fair value.

The fair values in the level 2 and level 3 of fair value hierarchy were estimated using the discounted cash flows valuation technique. The fair value of unquoted fixed interest rate instruments was calculated based on estimated future cash flows expected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity. The fair value of investment properties was estimated using market comparatives.
Amounts due to credit institutions were discounted at the Group's own incremental borrowing rate. Liabilities due on demand were discounted from the first date that the Group could be required to pay the amount.
There were no changes in the valuation technique for the level 2 and level 3 measurements of assets and liabilities not measured at fair values in the six months ended 30 June 2017 (2016: none).
Pursuant to IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures", parties are generally considered to be related if the parties are under common control or one party has the ability to control the other or it can exercise significant influence over the other party in taking financial or operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form. Parties with more than 10% of ownership stake in the TBCG or with representatives in the Board of Directors are considered as Significant Shareholders. The key management personnel include members of TBCG's Board of Directors, the Management Board of the Bank and their close family members.
Transactions between TBC Bank Group PLC and its subsidiaries also meet the definition of related party transactions. Where these are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed in the Group Financial Statements.
As of 30 June 2017, the outstanding balances with related parties were as follows:
