MAIN FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD
Successful completion of 2012 restructuring gave rise to positive changes
in the Bank’s activities. During the post-restructuring period the Bank
focused on restoration of former market positions, continued working on
optimization of its activities and increasing loan portfolio.
For the first 6 months of 2013 assets of the Group increased by KZT 10.6 bln.
and as of 30 June 2013 amounted to KZT 1,621 bln. (USD 10.7 bln.).
Loan portfolio (net) amounted to KZT 636 bln. (USD 4.2 bln.) evidencing
a slight decrease (by 1%) versus data as of 2013 beginning.
Liabilities of the Group decreased by 0.6% to amount to KZT 1,334 bln.
(USD 8.8 bln.). Liabilities decreased primarily due to decrease of
liabilities to the credit institutions.
Amounts due to credit institutions decreased by 15.6% to amount to
KZT 54.7 bln. (USD 0.4 bln.). Decrease was due to repayment by the
Bank of its liabilities on the Revocable Committed Trade Finance
Facility (RCTFF) in accordance with the fixed schedule.
Group’s equity increased by 7% and amounted to KZT 287.4 bln. (USD 1.9 bln.)
by net income received during 6 months of 2013.
First-tier equity adequacy ratio calculated in accordance with 2004 Basel
Accord amounted to 24.1%.
Net income of the Group received during the reporting period amounted
to KZT 15.6 bln. (USD 103 mln). This was achieved owing inter alia to
the positive net interest margin amounting to KZT 17 bln. (USD 112 mln.)
versus expense amounting to KZT 9.8 bln. in the first 6 months of 2012.
Net interest income of KZT 17 bln. was received due to considerable
decrease of debt load based on 2012 restructuring and decrease of
relevant interest expenses.
Besides, Samruk-Kazyna bond yield increased by KZT 3.5 bln. versus the
same period of the previous year due to increase of the coupon rate from
4% to 6% as the result of 2012 restructuring.
Non-interest income increased by 4% mainly due to increase of net income
from fees and commissions as well as net income from insurance activities.
Net income from fees
and commissions grew by KZT 8 bln. versus the same period of 2012 mainly
due to decrease of the guarantee fee under Samruk-Kazyna JSC bonds as the
result of 2012 restructuring.
Besides, the Bank continued working on decreasing its operational expenses.
Thus, HR expenses decreased by 9% versus the same period of 2012 and
other operational expenses decreased by KZT 4.3 bln. (36%).
