Letter from the Chief Executive Officer[1]

I am delighted to announce another very strong quarter for TBC in 3Q 2024. We recorded a net profit of GEL 347 million, up 16% year-on-year, with a return on equity of 26.6%. Notably, the contribution from our digital banking ecosystem in Uzbekistan continues to grow, now representing 15% of the Group's total operating income and 9% of profit. At the same time, our digital monthly active users ("MAU") reached 5.9 million at the Group level, up by 30% year-on-year.

 

Across the board income growth drives strong performance in 3Q 2024

 

In 3Q 2024, our total operating income grew by a very healthy 23% year-on-year, reaching GEL 754 million. This growth was broad-based, led in particular by net interest income increasing by 15% year-on-year and a strong contribution from net fee and commission income, which rose by 39% year-on-year. At the same time, I am pleased to report that our NIM dynamics appear to have turned the corner, with Group NIM stabilising at 6.4%. 

 

Strong growth in Georgia, rapid expansion in Uzbekistan

 

In 3Q 2024, our Georgian financial services segment continued to demonstrate very good growth, with our loan book increasing by 17% year-on-year on a constant currency basis. Over the same period, our deposits grew by 18% on a constant currency basis. As a result, our business in Georgia delivered a net profit of GEL 338 million, up 13% year-on-year, while maintaining a return on equity of 26.5%. Additionally, our capital position remains solid, with CET1, Tier 1, and Total Capital ratios standing at 16.6%, 20.4%, and 23.9%, respectively, all well above the minimum regulatory requirements.

Meanwhile, our digital banking ecosystem in Uzbekistan maintained its rapid expansion, with the loan book nearly doubling year-on-year to reach GEL 1.3 billion (USD 460 million), capturing almost 15% share of the microloan market[2], and accounting for 44% of the Group's unsecured consumer loans. Retail deposits also saw significant growth, increasing by 66% to GEL 856 million (USD 314 million), contributing 10% of the Group's total retail deposits and 3.5% share of the Uzbekistan retail deposit market. This strong performance translated into GEL 111 million (USD 41 million) in total operating income and GEL 32 million (USD 12 million) in net profit, up by 105% and 131% year-on-year, respectively, with the return on equity for our Uzbek operations reaching an excellent 28.2%.

New flagship daily banking product launched in Uzbekistan

We continue to leverage our Group's deep technological expertise and extensive experience in building best-in-class banking and financial services. I would like to highlight the recent launch of Salom Card, our new flagship daily banking product in Uzbekistan. We believe it will set a new benchmark for daily banking services in the country, offering a range of benefits previously unavailable on the market and an easy-to-use, fully digital interface through the TBC mobile app. We are also in the process of rolling out credit cards and transactional MSME banking, both of which will be fully launched by the end of this year. In addition, we have signed long-term strategic partnerships with Visa and Mastercard in Uzbekistan that will enable us to introduce their cards and additional payments solutions for our customers in order to further improve their online payments and money transfer capabilities.

Economic overview

Georgia

Economic growth stronger than expected

The Georgian economy continued to surge in the third quarter of 2024, with real GDP expanding by a robust 11.1% year-on-year. This follows impressive growth rates of 7.5% in 2023 and 9.1% in the first half of 2024. Tourism has been a key catalyst for this economic acceleration. Tourist revenues experienced a significant  increase compared to the same period last year.  Also, based on BOP rather than instant money transfers methodology, remittances were higher judging from the second quarter data.

Net inflows into Georgia also increased strongly in the third quarter, primarily due to a strengthened trade balance. Total goods exports denominated in U.S. dollars rose by 25.6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2024, with domestic exports increasing by 9.4%. Imports grew at a slower pace of 3.6%. Foreign direct investment (FDI) also saw a positive trend, increasing by 10.3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024 with reinvested FDI accounted for a substantial portion of this inflow during the first half of the year.

 

Fiscal consolidation continues

The government remains committed to fiscal consolidation, aiming to reduce both the budget deficit and public debt relative to GDP in the medium term. Following a seasonal surplus in the second quarter, the government recorded a deficit of 2.7% of GDP in the third quarter. As a result, the cumulative budget deficit for the first nine months of 2024 stands at 0.6% of GDP. The government's full-year target of 2.5% remains in place, aligning with the deficit level reached in 2023.  

 

Credit growth remains strong

Bank credit growth, another key driver of the strong economy, has continued to accelerate. Year-over-year credit growth rose from 17.7% in June 2024 to 18.7% in September 2024, when adjusted for exchange rate. Given the low and stable inflation, real credit growth also remained robust at 18.0%. Lending to legal entities remains higher, increasing by 21.1% year-over-year, while lending to individuals grew by 16.6% in the third quarter of 2024. The gradual dedollarization of bank lending continued, with the share of foreign currency loans declining slightly to 43.5% at the end of September 2024, down from 44.4% at the end of June 2024.

GEL impacted by inflows and sentiment

The GEL experienced slight depreciation in May and June 2024. To address excessive volatility, the NBG intervened by selling approximately USD 220 million in the foreign exchange market during these months. Strong foreign currency inflows helped the GEL recover to 2.7 GEL per USD by mid-July and enabled the NBG to increase foreign exchange reserves, thereby strengthening monetary buffers. More recently, renewed market uncertainty caused the GEL to depreciate slightly, reaching 2.72 in October, prompting the NBG to conduct additional foreign exchange interventions.

 

The CPI inflation remains below the NBG's 3% target, standing at 0.6% year-over-year in Septemeber, with underlying inflation also not showing signs of inflationary pressures. Therefore, the NBG's decision to maintain the monetary policy rate (MPR) at 8% in the third quarter was primarily driven by higher uncertainties also internationally and still tight monetary policy stance in the US.

 

Uzbekistan

Continued strong economic performance

Uzbekistan's economy continues to expand significantly, with real GDP growth reaching 6.9% in the third quarter of 2024, following a 6.4% increase in the second quarter. In terms of external trade, exports of goods rose by 24.9% year-on-year in the third quarter, while imports declined by 3.9%. Retail credit growth remained strong but slowed slightly, driven by a cooling in non-mortgage lending. Despite this moderation, retail credit growth still stood at a robust 22.0% year-on-year at the end of September. Mortgage credit expanded by 18.1%, while non-mortgage credit grew by 28.6% during the same period.

Annual inflation in Uzbekistan remained nearly unchanged, decreasing slightly from 10.6% in June to 10.5% in September 2024. This stability was primarily influenced by other economic factors, as utility tariffs had already been increased in June. The Central Bank of Uzbekistan lowered its monetary policy rate to 13.5% in July, influenced by the slower depreciation of the UZS, decelerating credit growth and promising outlook for underlying inflation. By the end of September 2024, the UZS was valued at 12,731 against the US Dollar, down about 3% YTD.

 

Upgrading economic growth forecasts

Given the strong start to 2024 and even stronger third quarter, we recently upgraded our forecast for real GDP growth in Georgia to 9.4% (from 7.4% at the time of our 2Q 2024 results), while our projection for Uzbekistan now stands at 6.5%.

Progress towards our mid-term strategy targets

 

In 2023, TBC outlined a new set of medium-term Group and Uzbekistan business targets for 2023-2025. During 2024, we have made good progress towards meeting these targets, including maintaining ROE consistently above 23% and remaining on track to hit GEL1.5 billion Group net profit in 2025, including GEL 200+ million in Uzbekistan.  

 

As part of our strategic review, we determined that growth in TNET GMV to GEL 500 million is no longer a core strategic financial target for the Group and we will discontinue providing specific guidance on this point given the following:

 

·      Solidifying TNET's classifieds market leadership: TNET remains the leading online platform in Georgia for classifieds, ticketing and discounted coupons, with >50% market share and c1.6 million customers. We intend to focus on and strengthen our dominant position in these areas and add new complementary services.

·      Reconfiguration of eCommerce strategy: Competitive dynamics within the eCommerce market have changed materially.  In response, we have decided to focus on a model led by our market-leading C2C marketplace, with third parties providing all the services, including merchandise, distribution and logistics.

·      Leveraging TBC's financial expertise: We will leverage TBC's financial know-how to embed best-in-class payments and credit products within our TNET ecosystem. We aim to grow this business profitably.

Meanwhile, we reiterate that we are fully on track to meet all of our other mid-term targets, as outlined in the tables below alongside the progress towards these as of 9M 2024:

Regulatory capital

In Georgia, the slight decline in CET1 ratio in 3Q 2024 was related to the pending dividend payment and increased loan portfolio, largely offset by strong income generation. Over the same period, the decrease in Tier1 and Total capital adequacy ratios was mainly driven by the repayment of USD 125 million AT1 bonds in July.
