CAIRO - Commercial International Bank (EGX: COMI) today reported third-quarter 2024 consolidated net income of EGP 14.8 billion, or EGP 4.34 per share, up by 77% from third-quarter 2023.

Management Commented: "CIB ended the third quarter of 2024 on a positive note, growing its top line by 83% over last year and by a healthy 4% over last quarter, signaling a strong closure for the year. In a quarter that exhibited relative macroeconomic stability, this upheld financial performance comes as a further testament to the true metal of CIB, as it came primarily backed by genuine and organic growth in business acquisitions, while simultaneously not compromising on spreads and margins, which Management deems as the Bank's core sustainable stream of revenue growth.

Deposits grew by a decent 5% or EGP 39.0 billion over the quarter, with local currency deposits growing by 4%, adding EGP 18.6 billion, and foreign currency deposits growing by 5%, adding USD 382 million. This came while maintaining a healthy share of Current and Saving Accounts (CASA) of 55% to Total Deposits, which is an ongoing Management strategy that continues to reap its fruits in controlling the Bank's cost of funds and maintaining its margins, which, coupled with the effective recalibration of the Bank's balance sheet in accommodation for the dynamic interest-rate environment, fed into record Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 9.50%, growing by 214 basis points (bps) over last year.

Lending growth came even more impressive, with local currency loans growing by a record 12%, adding EGP 25.2 in the quarter, and cumulatively translating into 37% growth or EGP 65.7 billion net loan acquisitions over last year. With that, Gross Loans for CIB recorded EGP 353 billion, marking the largest lender among private-sector Banks, and EGP 381 billion when further accounting for Securitization Deals. Thereupon, the Gross-Loan-to-Deposit ratio for CIB reached 39.4%, and with that pertaining to local currency hitting an all-time-high of 51%, after accounting for Securitization Deals amounting to EGP 27.8 billion. In view of that strong lending and trade business growth, and going apace with the Bank's customary prudent risk management, Impairment Charge for Credit Losses for third-quarter of 2024 recorded EGP 1.69 billion, more than double the provisions accrued for last quarter, which represents the prime reason behind the quarter-on-quarter decrease in bottom line.

This remarkable core business growth came to pass while maintaining the Bank's top-notch solvency and asset quality, with Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) representing 4.39% of Gross Loans, down from 5.04% last year, and with Loan Loss Provision Balance recording EGP 44.7 billion, covering 12.7% of the Bank's Gross Loan Portfolio. Likewise, Coverage for Unexpected Losses remained affluent, evidenced in CIB recording a market-high Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 29.1%, which comes accommodating for the Bank's growth, transformation and expansion plans. The entirety of that affected while delivering a Return on Average Equity (ROAE) of 49.4%, further attesting the commitment of the Bank's Management to safeguard the interests of both current and future shareholders, which comes also evidenced in CIB recording impressive year-on-year bottom line growth of 21% in US Dollar terms.

Moving forward, Management remains positive about the Bank's growth prospects, with special regard to plans to expand the business pie and invest in more productive areas, and with due focus attended to reengineering the Bank's processes and to heading further towards digitization, further safeguarding its market-leading position, while maintaining its sound financial performance and healthy solvency along."
