Statement on Tinkoff Bank's RAS Financial Highlights for January - April 2020

Moscow, Russia - 03 June 2020. TCS Group Holding PLC (LI: TCS, MOEX: TCSG) (the "Group"), Russia's leading provider of online financial and lifestyle services via its Tinkoff ecosystem, today announces Tinkoff Bank's unaudited RAS financial highlights for January - April 2020.

 

For the first four months of 2020, net income stood at RUB 12.3bn versus RUB 9.5bn in January - April 2019.

 

It should be noted that the RAS net income figure is not a reliable indicator of IFRS net income for the same period. There is a very low correlation between financial results under the two reporting standards as a result of significant accounting differences. Therefore, RAS figures should not be used as the basis for conclusions on forthcoming IFRS results. 

 

The gross loan portfolio amounted to RUB 379bn representing an increase of 25% y-o-y. The net loan portfolio amounted to RUB 316bn having increased by 21% y-o-y and constituted 52% of total assets (57% at year-end 2019). 

 

Retail customer accounts stood at RUB 390bn. Tinkoff Bank continued to retain substantial liquidity: the CBR N2 ratio stood at 97% (minimum requirement: 15%), and the CBR N3 ratio was 164% (minimum requirement: 50%). Retail customer accounts constituted 75% of total liabilities.

 

Total assets increased by 46% y-o-y to RUB 611bn.

 

As of 1 May 2020, total capital including retained profits (based on Form 123) amounted to RUB 112bn. The CBR N1 capital adequacy ratio was 12.09%. Core Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.1) was 9.27% and Main Capital Adequacy Ratio (N1.2) was 11.44%.

 

 

Note on RAS results

 

Please note that the figures in this press release are calculated in accordance with Tinkoff Bank's internal methodology which is available at:

RAS results are not a reliable indicator of IFRS results due to significant accounting differences that make a direct read-across from RAS to IFRS results impossible. The main differences between RAS and IFRS are:

• Consolidated results under IFRS include a number of additional items and results of its subsidiaries
• Accrual of expenses under IFRS
• Timing differences in accounting for restructured loans ('instalments') and loans going through courts
• The effect from the revaluation of currency derivative instruments
• The effect of deferred income tax.
