    • Retail loan yield came down to 12.0% in 1Q 2019 showing a decrease of 50 basis points on the back of gradual redemptions of older vintage loans at higher rates.
  • Corporate loan portfolio (at amortized cost and at fair value combined) came down by 3.4% to RUB13.8 trn in 1Q 2019 mostly influenced by foreign currency revaluation. 
    • Based on management accounts, Ruble loan portfolio increased by 0.5% during the quarter, while FX portfolio, net of currency revaluation, was down by 3.7%.
    • Corporate loan yield was down by 20 basis points to 8.0% in 1Q 2019 as compared to 4Q 2018. The decrease is mainly caused by the utilization of credit lines, opened before interest rates increase. The yield is no longer affected by this factor.

Total interest expense for 1Q 2019 increased by 30.7% to RUB221.7 bn from 1Q 2018 on the back of growth of interest bearing liabilities by 16.3% and cost of funding increase by 40 basis points y/y.

  • Deposit insurance expenses increased by 18.4% y/y to RUB21.2 bn in 1Q 2019. The bank's liabilities subject to DIA contributions were extended by funds from small and medium-sized enterprises, which had an impact on the growth of contributions to the deposit insurance system (+RUB1.9 bn).

Net LDR ratio comprised 90.5% and came down by 3.2% as compared to 4Q 2018. The ratio in Rubles decreased to 99.8%, while in U.S. dollars came at 61.7% and in Euro at 84.7%.

The Group operating expenses (staff and administrative) for 1Q 2019 came at RUB152.3 bn, up by 4.3% as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was explained by the change in capitalization principles of expensing for in-house developed IT products in light of optimization of operations of the Technology Block. Apart from that it was influenced by Ruble devaluation as compared to 1Q 2018 and VAT rate increase from the beginning of the year. Excluding these factors operating expenses would have decreased by 0.5%.

The Group Cost-to-Income ratio*** improved up to 31.9%.  

Net credit loss allowance charge for loans at amortized costs amounted to RUB 22.1 bn for 1 quarter 2019. This translates into Cost of Risk at 44 bps for this loan book. According to IFRS 9 part of the loan portfolio is accounted at fair value through profit or loss. Negative revaluation of loans at fair value due to change in credit quality amounted to RUB28.2bn in 1Q 2019. Consequently, the combined Cost of Risk for loans at amortized cost and at fair value in 1Q 2019 was 96 basis points.  Starting from 1Q19 we exclude FX-component from provision charge/ recovery for FX-denominated loans at amortized cost as well as from revaluation of FX-denominated loans at fair value. This FX component was shown as foreign exchange translation (losses) / gains and amounted to RUB 31.5 bn for the reporting period.

The total provision coverage of Stage 3 and POCI loans increased in 1Q 2019 compared to the previous quarter and comprised 91.9%. The share of Stage 3 and POCI loans in total gross loans at amortized cost improved by 17 basis points and came to 7.9%.
