In preparing the consolidated
financial information for the year ended 31 December 2023, the
Group carried out an inventory of its financial instruments. The
inventory process identified financial instruments measured at fair
value through profit or loss that were previously restricted in use
and were incorrectly measured at cost. The Group revaluated these
financial instruments and recognized prior period
adjustments.
The consolidated statement of profit
or loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 has been
reclassified to conform to the presentation for the year ended 31
December 2023 because the presentation of the current year report
provides a clearer picture of the Group's financial performance.
All of the ratios were also recalculated accordingly. For more
detailed information please refer to Halyk Group's interim
condensed consolidated financial
information for the nine months ended 30 September 2024, note #4b.
Net
income attributable to common shareholders
for 9M 2024 is up 18.3% year-on-year thanks to
notable increase in lending and transactional businesses.
Interest income(1) for 9M 2024 was up 30.3% vs.
9M 2023 mainly due to increase in average rate and balances of
loans to customers.
Interest expense for 9M 2024
increased by 27.9% vs. 9M 2023 mainly as a result of the growth in
average rate on amounts due to customers and growth in the share of
KZT amounts due to customers. Consequently, net interest income before credit loss
expense for 9M 2024 grew by 32.7% vs. 9M 2023.
In 9M 2024 net interest margin was affected by the
increase in average rates on both loans to customers and amounts
due to customers. Furthermore, net
interest margin was positively impacted by the increase in
the share of higher yielding retail loans in total loan portfolio
and share of loans to customers in total interest earning assets,
as well as increase in the share of KZT interest-earning cash and
cash equivalents. As a result, net interest margin has grown to
7.1% p.a. for 9M 2024 compared to 6.3% p.a. for 9M 2023.
Fee
and commission income in 9M 2024 vs.
9M 2023 increased by 2.0%. It was negatively impacted by base
effect related to transition to amortization of tariff packages for
legal entities starting from November 2023. Moreover, there was a
revision of some retail tariffs in 2H of 2023. On top of that, the
amount of bonuses for the loyalty program significantly grew due to
increased transactional activity of retail clients and growing
share of QR payments.
Fee
and commission expense in 9M 2024
vs. 9M 2023 grew by 7.3% mainly due to increase in service fees on
payment cards and in deposit insurance fees payable to the
Kazakhstan Deposit Insurance Fund following the retail deposits
amount growth. As a result, despite the growth of clients'
transactional activity, the net
fee and commission income for 9M 2024 decreased by 2.7% vs.
9M 2023.
Other expense/non-interest income
(4) in 9M 2024
was negatively impacted by a one-off recognized loss from the full
prepayment of a deposit of the Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund
(KSF), which were made on April 8, 2024.
Operating expenses(5) for 9M 2024 increased by
17.2% vs. 9M 2023 mainly
due to the indexation of salaries and other employee
benefits.
The cost-to-income ratio equalled 17.6% in
9M 2024, compared with 17.9%
in 9M 2023 due to higher operating income for 9M
2024.
Cost of risk in 9M 2024
was at normalized level within the scope of our
full year guidance and was at the level of 1.3%.
