Letter from the Chief Executive Officer
I am pleased to present our third quarter financial results, which continue to show a solid performance. In addition to an overview of our operating achievements, I would also like to highlight the recent macro developments in the country.
Our underlying[4] consolidated net profit for the third quarter of 2017 reached GEL 88.0 million (reported net profit amounted to GEL 86.8 million) up from the GEL 68.2 million4 in the third quarter of 2016, marking a 29% increase. Over the reporting period, our return on equity excluding one-off costs related to the Bank Republic integration was 20.02% (19.8% including one-off costs), while the return on assets excluding one-off costs stood at 3.0% (2.9% including one-off costs). The net interest margin decreased in the reporting period and stood at 6.2%. An estimated effect of new liquidity requirements introduced by National Bank of Georgia is about 40 bp[5]. However, the decrease in net interest margin was offset by a strong increase in non-interest income. Net fee and commission income rose by 43.2% year-on-year or 35.6% without the Bank Republic estimated effect, mainly driven by growth of settlement and card operations. As a result, the share of net fee and commission income in total income reached 15.4% up by 1.7% year-on-year. At the same time, other non-interest income, excluding net fee and commission income, increased by 48.3% year-on-year or 28.4% without the Bank Republic estimated effect. In addition, our underlying4 cost to income ratio decreased to 39.8% or 40.5% including one-off items.
In terms of balance sheet growth, our loan book grew by 55.2% year-on-year, or 33.2% without Bank Republic estimated effect, resulting in a 38.2% market share, while our deposit portfolio increased by 54.5% year-on-year, or 43.1% without Bank Republic estimated effect, leading to the market share of 38.6%.
Our asset quality continues to remain solid with non-performing loans standing at 3.5% down by 1.1 pp year-on-year and non-performing loans coverage ratio at 81% or 207% including collateral.
Over the same period, we maintained strong capital and liquidity levels. Our total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) per Basel II/III regulation stood at 14.5% compared to the minimum requirement of 10.5%, and our regulatory tier I ratio stood at 10.8% compared to the minimum requirement of 8.5%. The newly introduced regulatory liquidity coverage ratio stood at 115% at the end of the quarter, compared to the minimum requirement of 100%, while net loans to deposits + IFI funding stood at 91.6%, and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) stood at 134.5%.
In terms of the macroeconomic environment, the economy continues to grow steadily exceeding most external growth forecasts for the year. The real annual GDP growth rate reached 4.7% for the first nine months of 2017, mainly driven by high tourism receipts and an increase in net exports and remittances. An increase in the Government's capital expenditure and investments in infrastructure has also had a positive impact on growth. As a result of better-than-expected performance to date, the IMF revised its initial forecast from 3.5% to 4.3% for 2017. I would also like to highlight that the credit rating company Moody's has upgraded Government of Georgia's local and foreign currency issuer ratings to Ba2 from Ba3, while the outlook remains stable. The main rationale for the upgrade was the country's proven resilience towards the recent regional economic shocks and on-going process of diversification of trade and investment relationships. Following the country revision, Moody's has also upgraded our local-currency deposit rating to Ba2 from Ba3 and our foreign-currency deposit rating to Ba3 from B1. The ratings continue to carry a stable outlook.
Turning again to the operating performance, I would like to update you on our achievements in our digitalization strategy. The number of transaction conducted via digital channels continues to grow, especially in mobile banking. As a result, our off-loading ratio[6] reached 86.8%, while mobile banking penetration ratio increased to 26.9% up by 6.6 pp year-on-year. We also continue to innovate and offer new products and services to our customers, our Chat Bot, available through Facebook messenger, has become a "love mark", attracting around 94,000 customers with 4.6 million conversations. Just recently, we added new features to our Chat Bot and started selling travel insurance and movie tickets, which are expected to increase usage and user experience of our customers.
On the corporate side, we continue to attract new clients. In the third quarter, we added a new blue chip client, a leading Georgian telecommunication company. Within our MSME business, in addition to attracting a new facility from FMO, we have enriched the product offering in our branches by combining leasing solutions with our traditional banking products. Initial feedback is very positive and we expect to achieve good synergies with this combined offering. I am also delighted to see first results of our insurance company, the number of customers has increased to around 240,000 from just 3,000 at the time of acquisition, while our market share[7] excluding health insurance reached 10.9% as of 30 September 2017 compared to 3.5% as of 31 December 2016.
Outlook
Our future growth outlook remains positive supported by accelerated economic activity, a continued recovery in regional economies, as well as an overall improvement in the risk outlook for the country. Therefore, we would like to reiterate our targets: ROE of 20% plus, cost to income ratio below 40%, divided 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 increasing our non-interest income, among other things, through our bancassurance, investment banking and brokerage services, trade finance products as well as cards and POS terminal operations. Improving cost efficiency through our automatisation efforts and extracting cost synergies after the successful integration of Bank Republic also remain among our highest priorities.
Economic Overview
GDP Growth
In the first nine months of 2017 GDP growth averaged 4.7% YoY in real terms, initial estimates of the statistics office (Geostat) sets growth at 4.4% in 3Q 2017 following the 4.9% growth in H1 2017. Acceleration of economic growth have been mostly driven by the sharp growth of exports, tourism and remittance inflows in the country. From the sectors perspective, the construction sector grew by +18.8% YoY, growth in trade and repairs, the largest sector of the Georgian economy, averaged 2.3% in H1 2017 as opposed to 0% growth in H1 2016. Transport and communications went up by 6.8% YoY in H1 2017, versus a 0.7% YoY contraction in H1 of 2016, reflecting the increased trade turnover among the countries in the region as well as a sharp increase in the number of international visitors. Growth remained robust in hotels and restaurants (+10.9% YoY), real estate (+6.8% YoY), financial intermediation (+6.6% YoY) while all other sectors have also contributed positively to GDP growth.
Inflation and Monetary Policy
Annual inflation retreated from its peak of 7.1% in June to 6.2% in September, 2017. Annual CPI inflation in September was mostly driven by increased prices on food and non-alcoholic beverages (+6.5% YoY), transport (+14.7% YoY) and alcoholic drinks and tobacco (+17.4% YoY). The price increases on transport and tobacco reflect the hike of excise tax rates on these goods at the beginning of 2017, with the estimated direct impact of 2.5 pp. out of 6.2% inflation figure in September. This impact should dissipate from the beginning of 2018. During the latest monetary policy committee meeting held on October 25th, the NBG maintained the policy rate unchanged at 7%. The NBG announced that the policy rate should gradually reach its neutral at 5-6% over the medium term, unless unexpected factors would alter the inflation path.
External Environment and Current Account Balance
The external environment improved markedly since the 2014-16 slowdown. The GDP growth of Georgia's main trading partners is gradually strengthening, while increased growth in the EU and firm recovery in the CIS economies positively affected the Georgian economy. In its October update of the World Economic Outlook, the IMF revised upwards its 2017 and 2018 growth projections for almost all Georgia's major trading partners. Better than expected performance year-to-date and improved outlook for the region economies suggests that downside risks in the external environment declined markedly.
Reflecting the improved growth in the trading partner economies, exports recovered strongly in the first nine months of 2017 (+28.3% YoY). Exports to EU increased by 18.9% YoY in 9m 2017, over the same period exports to CIS grew by 59.0% YoY, a figure that reversely reflects the sharp declines of 2015 and 2016. Exports to other countries went up by 10.1% YoY over the same period. Georgian exports are gradually becoming more geographically balanced, compared to the same period of 2014, in 9m 2017 share of total exports to CIS countries fell from c. 52% to c. 41%, while the share to EU countries increased from 21% to 24%, and share to other countries climbed significantly, from 26% to 36%. China is emerging among the top destination for Georgian exports, per 9 month 2017 figures, China entered top 5 exports markets. Over the same period exports to China went up by 15.4% YoY, following the 33.5% YoY growth in 2016 and c. 40% YoY growth in 2015. It is expected that FTA with China, which is slated to become operational from the beginning of 2018, should further accelerate exports growth to the second largest economy of the world. This diversification trend should continue along with the better application of the benefits offered by FTAs with the EU and China.
Georgia's image as an attractive tourism destination strengthens further as tourist numbers surged by 28.6% YoY in 3Q 2017 and by 28.8% YoY in 9m 2017. Growth in number of visitors has been the highest from EU (+24.8% YoY), followed by CIS (+19.0% YoY) and other countries (+18.6% YoY).
While immediate neighbours of Georgia still make up roughly 3/4th of the total incoming visitors, their share is gradually declining while visitors from other areas, like the Middle East, are increasing. In 2016, tourists from the Middle East increased by 130% YoY to reach c. 330,000 and accounted for 5.2% of total arrivals, while in 9m 2017 arrivals increased a further by 92.4% YoY and Middle Eastern tourists accounted for c. 9% of the total.
In 3Q remittance inflows went up by 19.7% YoY, mostly driven by increasing remittances from Israel (+102.2% YoY), Russia (+13.3% YoY), Italy (+23.8% YoY) and Turkey (+26.1% YoY). In the first nine months of 2017 remittances were up 19.7% YoY, but they remain below pre-2015 levels, suggesting that further growth in private money transfers should be expected as major remitting countries continue to recover from the 2015-16 economic slowdown.
In H1 2017 the CA deficit stood at 9.4% of the GPD, 3.2% below the same figure a year earlier. In absolute terms, the CA deficit improved by USD 202 million, mostly due to the sharp recovery of exports of goods and services as well as continued growth of remittance inflows. Continued positive dynamics in external inflows suggests the CA deficit improved further in 3Q 2017.
FDI continues to be the major source of financing the CA deficit. In H1 2017 the net FDI inflows stood at 9.2% of GDP and fully covered the CA deficit. In the first half of 2017 FDI inflows declined by 5.5% compared to the same period of 2016. As the South Caucasus Pipeline expansion project, financed by BP, nears its completion, FDI in transports and communication dropped by 30% YoY in H1 2017. The decline was partly offset by higher FDI in construction (up 7.5% YoY), hotels and restaurants (up 6.3% YoY) and real estate (up 2.1% YoY). Overall, FDI, measured as a share of GDP, remained above 10%, the highest level among the CIS and Central and Eastern European countries.
Fiscal Policy
The successful completion of the first review of the IMF's extended fund facility underlines Georgia's prudent macro management policies. The IMF team praised the government's efforts to boost much-needed public investment while maintaining the fiscal deficit below 2016 levels. In the 2017 budget the deficit is expected to come in at 3.5% of GDP against the initially planned 4.1% of GDP. In the first nine months of 2017 the budget deficit stood at c. 2% of GDP, compared to the 3.3% over the same period in previous year. Agreement with IMF envisages budget deficit at 3% for 2018 and further decrease of deficit to GDP ratio over the medium term. Public debt to GDP ratio stood at an estimated 43.1% as of the end of 3Q 2017, up by 1.0% compared to the previous quarter. According to the baseline scenario of debt sustainability analysis by the Ministry of Finance, public debt will remain below 44% of GDP over the next three years.
Recent Achievements and Growth Prospects
Moody's upgraded Georgia's sovereign credit rating to Ba2 from Ba3, with stable outlook. The decision reflects the resiliency of the Georgian economy during 2014-16 regional slowdown and its sharp recovery in H1 2017. Prudent macro and financial sector supervision policies, as well as the potential of further export diversification enabled by FTAs with all major economic powers in the broader region, were also cited as key factors in Moody's revision. We expect the improved credit rating to strengthen Georgia's role in the region as an economic "safe heaven". Lower sovereign credit risk implies improved access to external funding for the companies operating in Georgia to finance the growth and capitalize on the structural advantages of the economy.
Georgia entered top 10 countries in World Bank's Doing Business 2018 ranking, country moved up by 7 steps to 9th place, becoming the best performer in Europe and Central Asia region. Georgia's outstanding performance in this rankings highlights the continued efforts of government to improve the business environment and to make Georgia one of the easiest places to do business globally.
Going forward, it is expected that economic recovery will continue, IMF expects growth to average 4.3% in 2017 and to accelerate further over the medium term. Ongoing recovery in regional countries, improved sovereign risk rating and increased clarity of the fiscal policy directions over the medium will positively influence country risk and improve growth prospects of the economy. Long awaited Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway was officially opened by the end of October, 2017. Completion of this project marks another major milestone for Georgia to strengthen its position as a regional tourism and transportation hub and represents the shortest route linking Chinese and central Asian economies to European countries. New transportation pillar along with the, free trade agreements with EU, China and all major economic powers in the broader region should give additional momentum to the growth and diversification of Georgia's exports. These factors, coupled with favourable business environment and continued reform efforts by the government is expected to keep Georgian economy growing at rates above the most of the peers in the broader region.

9M 2017 to 9M 2016 Comparison
In 9M 2017, net interest income grew by 30.2% YoY to GEL 438.6 million (GEL 353.7 million without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect), resulting from a 42.6% higher interest income and 64.9% higher interest expense.
Without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, the interest income increased by GEL 94.6 million, or 18.1% YoY, mainly driven by a higher interest income from loans to customers by GEL 78.2 million, or 16.8%, which is primarily related to the 33.2% gross loan portfolio increase. A rise in interest income from investment securities (comprising both investment securities available for sale and bonds carried at amortized cost) of GEL 8.6 million, or 20.9% also contributed to the overall increase. That in turn was driven by the significant rise in the respective portfolio. In addition, net interest income from due from other banks increased by GEL 4.1 million or 114.7%, which was also caused by the large increase in respective portfolio.
In 9m 2017 the Bank Republic effect mainly contributed a GEL 119.4 million, or 18.0% to the interest income from loans and advances to customers, which totalled GEL 664.2 million, and GEL 7.1 million, or 12.5%, to interest income from investment securities, which amounted to GEL 56.8 million in 9M 2017. As a result, the overall Bank Republic estimated contribution effect was GEL 128.2 million, or 17.2%, to the interest income.
Loan yields declined over the same period from 13.5% to 12.0%. The drop was driven by a decrease in rates on FC-denominated loans, from 10.3% to 9.1%, as well as by decline in GEL-denominated loans rates from 19.4% to 16.8%. The decline of yields on investment securities, from 8.9% to 8.1%, over the same period is related to a lower average refinance rate in the country in 9M 2017 compared to 9M 2016. As a result, the yields on average interest earning assets dropped from 12.3% in 9M 2016 to 11.1% in 9M 2017.
In the reporting period, without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, interest expense increased by GEL 77.7 million, or 41.7% YoY. The rise was mainly due to a higher interest expense on due to customer accounts by GEL 40.2 million, or 37.6%, and due to credit institutions by GEL 36.0 million or 64.8%. The hike in interest expense on both customer accounts and on due to credit institutions was driven by the large increase in respective portfolios related to the overall business growth, as well as to the implementation of the new regulatory liquidity framework.[8]
The Bank Republic estimated contribution effect added a GEL 20.6 million, or 12.3%, to the interest expense on customer accounts, which amounted GEL 167.7 million in 9M 2017 and GEL 19.9 million or 17.9% to interest expense on interest expense due to credit institutions, which amounted GEL 111.4 million. As a result, the overall Bank Republic contribution effect was a GEL 43.3 million, or 14.1%, to the interest expense.
The cost of deposits remained flat at 3.4% in 9M 2017 and in the same period the cost of borrowing dropped to 6.4%, from 7.5% in 9M 2016. This was mainly due to the 2.0 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 0.1 pp to 4.4% in 9M 2017.
Consequently, NIM was 6.5% in 9M 2017, compared to 7.9% in 9M 2016.
3Q 2017 to 3Q 2016 Comparison
In 3Q 2017, the net interest income increased by GEL 26.3 million, or 21.9% YoY to GEL 146.5 million (GEL 119.2 million without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect), as a result of a GEL 76.2 million, or 41.9%, increase in interest income and a GEL 49.9 million, or 80.7%, rise in interest expense, compared to 3Q 2016.
Without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, the GEL 38.8 million, or 21.3% YoY, increase in interest income was mainly due to a GEL 26.7 million, or 16.3%, increase in interest income from loans. This in turn was due to the 33.2% rise in the loan portfolio more than offsetting declining yield effect as discussed below. 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 7.6 million, or 59.7%, which resulted from the significant increase in respective portfolio.
The Bank Republic estimated contribution effect added a GEL 34.5 million, or 15.3%, to the interest income from loans and advances to customers, which amounted to GEL 225.5 million in 3Q 2017, as well as GEL 2.1 million, or 9.5%, to interest income from investment securities, which totalled GEL 22.4 million in 2Q 2017. Consequently, the overall Bank Republic contribution effect was a GEL 37.4 million, or 14.5%, to the interest income.
In the reporting period loan yields declined from 13.5% to 11.9% as a result of the decrease in FC rates from 10.3% to 8.8% and decrease in GEL rates from 19.4% to 16.5%. The yields on investment securities remained broadly flat at 8.4%. Consequently, these changes led to the decrease in yields on average interest earning assets from 12.3% in 2Q 2016 to 10.9% in 3Q 2017.
Without the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, interest expense amounted to GEL 101.6 million, making an increase of GEL 39.8 million, or 64.4% YoY. The growth was primarily attributable to the increased interest expense on due to credit institutions by GEL 21.8 million, or 128.2%, and due to customer accounts by GEL 17.1 million, or 46.8% related to the significant increase in respective portfolios related to the overall business growth, as well as to the implementation of the new regulatory liquidity framework.[9]
The Bank Republic estimated contribution added GEL 5.8 million, or 9.7%, to the interest expense on customer accounts, which amounted to GEL 59.3 million in 3Q 2017. It also added GEL 3.5 million, or 8.3%, to the interest expense on due to credit institutions, which totalled GEL 42.4 million in 3Q 2017. Consequently, the Bank Republic contribution effect was GEL 10.1 million or 9.0%.
The rate on credit institutions decreased by 0.3 pp to 6.6%, while the cost of deposits increased by 0.1 pp to 3.4%. As a result, the cost of funds increased to 4.5%, up by 0.2pp in 3Q 2016.
Consequently, NIM decreased to 6.2% in 3Q 2017, compared to 8.3% in 3Q 2016.
3Q 2017 to 2Q 2017 Comparison
On a QoQ basis, net interest income decreased by GEL 3.2 million, or 2.1% QoQ, to GEL 146.5 million due to 8.4 million, or 3.3%, higher interest income and GEL 11.5 million, or 11.5%, higher interest expense.
The increase in interest income mainly resulted from the increase in interest income on loans by GEL 1.8 million, or 0.8%, which was the result of a 5.2% increase in respective portfolio. This was partially offset by a 0.5pp decrease in yields on loans to 11.9%. The drop in loan yields stemmed from 0.5pp fall in GEL rates to 16.5% and 0.7 pp decrease in FC rates to 8.8%. The rise in interest income was also driven by the increase in interest income from investment securities by GEL 4.3 million, or 24.0%, which was mainly driven by a 10.6% increase in respective portfolio, as well as 0.6 pp increase to 8.4% on yields on investment securities. Yields on investment securities increased mainly due to higher proportion of longer term securities in total portfolio. As a result, yields on average interest earning assets decreased to 10.9%, compared to 11.3% in 2Q 2017.
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the rise in the interest expense on borrowed funds due to credit institutions by GEL 5.8 million, or 15.9%, which resulted from the 15.1% increase in the respective portfolio and 0.2pp increase in respective rate to 6.6%, mainly related to libor rate increase. The GEL 4.8 million, or 8.7% QoQ increase in interest expense on customer deposits was driven by 6.5% increased respective portfolio, while cost of deposits remained unchanged at 3.4%. As a result, the cost of funds stayed stable at 4.5%. Increase in borrowed funds due to credit institutions and customer deposits, was mainly driven by the implementation of the new regulatory liquidity framework.[10]
Consequently, on a QoQ basis, NIM decreased by 0.6 pp to 6.2%. In September 2017, the NBG introduced more stringent liquidity requirements resulting in higher level of liquid assets. Estimated effect of newly introduced regulatory liquidity coverage ratio is 0.4%[11].

9M 2017 to 9M 2016 Comparison
Total other operating non-interest income and insurance profit increased by GEL 27.9 million, or by 43.4%, YoY to GEL 92.0 million in 9M 2017. This increase was mainly driven by a GEL 21.0 million or 46.8% 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 4.9 million increase in gross insurance profit and a GEL 1.3 million increase in gain from sale of investment properties as well as GEL 8.4 increase in "other" subsection of other operating income. The latter is mainly attributable to GEL 2.6 million reimbursed taxes, a GEL 2.9 million related to fair value adjustment of previously acquired portfolio due to better than expected performance, and a GEL 2.1 million related to expense sharing programme by our partner payment technology companies. The rise 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 17.9 million or 19.5% , out of which GEL 10.8 million was related to gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations.
3Q 2017 to 3Q 2016 Comparison
Total other operating non-interest income and insurance profit increased by GEL 9.4 million, or by 48.3%, YoY to GEL 28.8 million in 3Q 2017. This increase was mainly driven by the GEL 3.6 million, or 21.6%, increase in gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations. These in turn were caused by the increased trade volume, plus a GEL 1.8 million gain in gross insurance profit and GEL 2.7 million rise in "other" subsection of other operating income mainly related to the reimbursed taxes as mentioned above. The Bank Republic's estimated contribution was GEL
3.9 million, or 13.4%, out of which GEL 3.1 million was related to gains less losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations.
3Q 2017 to 2Q 2017 Comparison
On a QoQ basis, total other operating non-interest income and insurance profit increased by GEL 0.1 million, or by 0.5%, primarily driven by increase in "other" subsection of other operating income by GEL 4.1 million related to reimbursed taxes mentioned above. This was largely offset by the GEL 2.9 million decrease in gains minus losses from trading in foreign currencies and foreign exchange translations, attributable to lower margins in 3Q related to less volatility of the currency rate in 3Q vs 2Q, as well as accounting impact of dividend distribution whereby distribution had negative impact in 3Q fully offsetting its positive impact in 2Q.

9M 2017 to 9M 2016 Comparison
In 9M 2017, total provision charges increased by GEL 26.7 million to GEL 70.5 million, compared to 9M 2016, mainly driven by the increased charges on loans by GEL 26.6 million, while the cost of risk on loans was broadly stable at 1.2%. There was a GEL 4.4 million increase in provision for impairment of other financial assets, which was offset by a GEL 4.4 million decrease in provision for performance guarantees and credit related commitments.
3Q 2017 to 3Q 2016 Comparison
In 3Q 2017, total provision charges grew by GEL 12.0 million to GEL 27.1 million compared to 3Q 2016. The rise is mainly caused by higher charges on loans, by GEL 11.5 million, and by a GEL 1.2 million increase in provision for impairment of other financial assets. This effect was slightly offset by a GEL 0.8 million decline in provision for performance guarantees and credit related commitments.
In 3Q 2017, the cost of risk on loans was 1.3%, compared to 1.1% in 3Q 2016. The difference is driven by fluctuation in GEL exchange rate; the cost of risk without currency effect was stable at 1.2% in 3Q 2017 and 3Q 2016.
3Q 2017 to 2Q 2017 Comparison
On a QoQ basis, total provision charges increased by a GEL 1.4 million, amounting to GEL 27.1 million. Provision charges on loans increased by GEL 1.6 million. A GEL 2.1 million increase in provisions for other financial assets also contributed to increase in total provision charges. The increase was partially offset by the GEL 2.5 million drop in provision charges for performance guarantees and credit related commitments.
The cost of risk on loans amounted to 1.3%, unchanged from 2Q 2017.

9M 2017 to 9M 2016 Comparison
Total operating expenses, excluding one-offs and the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, amounted to GEL 203.4 million YoY, up by 10.4%, or GEL 19.2 million. This increase was mainly driven by a GEL 10.1 million increase in staff costs, primarily related to the expanded business scale and performance. The remaining increase in operating expenses was attributable to a GEL 8.9 million increase in administrative expenses and a GEL 2.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization. This effect was slightly offset by a GEL 2.5 million reversal of provision for liabilities and charges.
In 9m 2016 the one-off costs related to the Premium Listing amounted to 16.0 million, while in 9M 2017 one-off costs were related to the Bank Republic integration and amounted to GEL 10.9 million.
Out of the total operating expenses the Bank Republic estimated contribution amounted to GEL 45.4 million, or 17.5%, of which GEL 26.2 million were related to staff costs and GEL 15.7 million to administrative and other operating expenses. Total operating expense including one-offs and the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, amounted to GEL 259.8 million.
As a result, the cost to income ratio stood at 42.1% (40.3% with one-offs) in 9M 2017, compared to 43.3% (41.0% with one-offs) in 9M 2016.
3Q 2017 to 3Q 2016 Comparison
In 3Q 2017 total operating expense, excluding one-offs and the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, was GEL 65.7 million, up by GEL 1.2 million, or 1.8% YoY. This resulted from a GEL 3.3 million increase in administrative and other operating expenses, mainly related to the expanded business scale and performance and was partially offset by a GEL 3.3 million decrease in staff costs compared to 3Q 2016.
In 3Q 2016 the one-off costs amounting to GEL 1.0 million were related to Premium Listing, while in 3Q 2017 the one-off costs totalled GEL 1.4 million and were attributable to BR integration costs.
Bank Republic estimated contribution to total operating expenses is an addition of GEL 16.7 million, which is comprised of GEL 9.7 million staff cost and GEL 5.9 million administrative and other operating expenses. Total operating expense, including one-offs and the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect, amounted to GEL 83.9 million.
As a result, the cost to income ratio was 40.5%, or 39.8% without one-off effect, in 3Q 2017, compared to 40.5% in 3Q 2016, or 41.0% without one-offs.
3Q 2017 to 2Q 2017 Comparison
On a QoQ basis, total operating expenses excluding one-offs and reversal of provision for liabilities and charges (in amount of GEL 2.4 mln in 2Q 2017) declined by GEL 5.2 million, or 5.9%, compared to 2Q 2017, mostly due to a GEL 5.1 million decrease in staff costs, mainly related to synergies from Bank Republic integration. Bank Republic integration costs amounted GEL 7.6 million in 2Q and GEL 1.4 million in 3Q.
Total operating expenses including the Bank Republic integration cost were GEL 83.9 million. As a result, the cost to income ratio stood at 40.5%, 39.8% with one-offs, down by 4.4pp from 2Q 2017, 41.2% with one-offs.

Assets
As of 30 September 2017, TBC Bank's total assets amounted to GEL 12,136.9 million, up by GEL 4,553.2 million, or 60.0%, YoY. This was mainly due to the increase in gross loans to customers by the GEL 2,764.1 million, or 55.2%. In addition, the YoY increase resulted from a GEL 975.4 million, or 63.6%, hike in cash due from banks and mandatory cash balances with NBG, a GEL 507.5 million or 83.8% rise in financial securities and a GEL 105.0 million, or 28.0%, increase in fixed and intangible assets and investment property, largely attributable to the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect.
On a QoQ basis, total assets increased by GEL 856.1 million, or 7.6%, mainly due to increased cash. This was due from banks and mandatory cash balances with the NBG by GEL 316.1 million, or 14.4%, increased net loans by GEL 374.8 million or 5.2% and increased financial assets by GEL 106.3 million or 10.6%.

Liabilities
As of 30 September 2017, TBC Bank's total liabilities amounted to GEL 10,346.6 million, up by 67.0% YoY and by 7.9% QoQ. The YoY growth of GEL 4,151.6 million was primarily due to a GEL 2,503.3 million, or 54.5%, increase in customer deposits. Total liabilities also grew due to the increase in amounts due to credit institutions by GEL 1,480.9 million and following a rise in subordinated debt by GEL 127.6 million. All these increases in liabilities largely resulted from the Bank Republic estimated contribution effect.
On a QoQ basis, total liabilities rose by GEL 756.3 million, or 7.9%, primarily due to the GEL 430.1 million, or 6.5%, increase in customer deposits. This mainly resulted from the growth in retail deposits. A GEL 362.4 million, or 15.7%, rise in amounts due to credit institutions also contributed to the growth of total liabilities.
Liquidity
The Bank's liquidity ratio, as defined by the NBG, stood at 35.3% as of 30 September 2017, compared to 34.9% and 34.2% as of 30 September 2016 and 30 June 2017, respectively. As of 30 September 2017, the newly introduced short term liquidity ratio, total LCR, as defined by NBG, stood at 115.2% above the 100.0% limit, while LCR for GEL and FC stood at 92.4% and 130.2% respectively, both higher of their respective limits, 75% and 100%.
Total Equity
As of 30 September 2017, TBC's total equity amounted to GEL 1,790.3 million, up from GEL 1,388.6 million as of 30 September 2016, and from GEL 1,690.5 million as of 30 June 2017. The YoY change in equity was mainly due to the net profit contribution of GEL 351.2 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). The QoQ change was primarily due to net profit, which increased the total equity by GEL 86.8 million.
Regulatory Capital
As of 30 September 2017, the Bank's Basel II/III Tier 1 and Total Capital Adequacy Ratios (CAR) stood at 10.8% and 14.5%, respectively, compared to 13.3% and 16.2% as of 30 September 2016, and 10.8% and 14.6% as of 30 June 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 1,354.7 million, compared to GEL 1,124.6 million as of 30 September 2016 and GEL 1,282.9 million as of 30 June 2017. The Bank's Basel II/III Total Capital amounted to GEL 1,821.8 million, compared to GEL 1,368.7 million as of 30 September 2016 and GEL 1,732.8 million as of 30 June 2017. Risk Weighted Assets were GEL 12,560.6 million as of 30 September 2017, up by GEL 4,132.9 million YoY and up by GEL 694.6 million QoQ.
QoQ Tier 1 Capital increased by GEL 71.8 million and Total Capital increased by GEL 89.1 million mostly due to net profit. The rest was due to the increase in subordinated loans and general reserves in Tier 2 Capital in the amount of GEL 17.3 million. The QoQ rise in Risk Weighted Assets is mainly due to the growth of the loan book, while YoY it increased due to the 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 2.4072 as of 30 June 2017. For calculations of YoY growth without currency exchange rate effect, we used USD/GEL exchange rate of 2.3297 as of 30 September 2016. The USD/GEL exchange rate as of 30 September 2017 equaled 2.4767. For P&L items growth calculations without currency effect, we used the average USD/GEL exchange rate for the following periods: 3Q 2017 of 2.4207, 2Q 2017 of 2.4315, 3Q 2016 of 2.3224.
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 8.0 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 the Bank Republic contribution after the merger on May 8, 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 the 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 Bank Republic's existing clients with 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 the IFRS 9 standard, which will come into effect starting from 1st January 2018.
Relevant Change Areas for the Bank
§ Key areas of the IFRS 9 standard 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
§ The expected impact is GEL 45-65 million increase in provisions
§ There will be no impact on profit and loss statement
§ There will be no impact on Regulatory Capital Ratios
18) NBG Initiatives
Newly introduced Liquidity Coverage Ratio
NBG has introduced new liquidity requirements (NBG LCR) for short-term liquidity risk management purposes The new requirements, which are in line with Basel III with additional constraints above the Basel standards, have come into force in September 2017 and increased the effective liquidity requirements. The limits are defined for total and as well for both GEL and FC currencies:
Limits
§ Total LCR>=100%
§ GEL LCR>=75%
§ FC LCR>=100%
In addition, in order to improve management of long-term liquidity, the NBG plans to implement Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which will void existing liquidity requirement.
In 2016, the NBG initiated several measures to promote the 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
The 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 effects on the capital, however they are expected to be compensated through higher pricing of such loans. In addition, the 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 planning to introduce certain changes from Q4 2017. Currently these changes are in draft form and are being discussed with the banks and other stakeholders.
Main changes are as per below:
§ 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 the amount of the buffers and its impact on the capital planning are not yet determined. The initial assessments show that the changes should not impact the growth and dividend guidelines.
