  3. Net gain/(loss) from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and net realised gain from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI);
  4. Total credit loss expense, including credit loss expense on loans to customers, amounts due from credit institutions, financial assets at FVTOCI, debt securities at amortised cost, net of allowance, cash and cash equivalents and other assets;
  5. Including loss from impairment of non-financial assets of KZT 5.1 bn;
  6. Including loss from impairment of non-financial assets of KZT 7.4 bn;
  7. Including loss from impairment of non-financial assets of KZT 0.9 bn;

 

 

 

 

Net profit attributable to common shareholders increased by 5.4% to KZT 352.7bn for 12M 2020 compared to KZT 334.5n for 12M 2019 mainly due to increase in net insurance income and gain from derivative operations and securities.

 

Increase in interest income on loans to customers was partially offset by the decrease in interest income on securities due to transfers in placement from high-yielding NBRK notes into low-yielding FX deposit with NBRK following the repayment of SWAP agreement with NBRK for the amount of USD 912 mln. As a result, interest income increased by 3.2% to KZT 733.2bn for 12M 2020 compared to KZT 710.3bn for                               12M 2019. Interest expense for 12M 2020 increased by 6.9% to KZT 333.7bn vs. KZT 312.3bn for                           12M 2019 mainly due to the increase of average balance and share of KZT deposits in the amounts due to customers. Net interest margin decreased to 4.7% p.a. for 12M 2020 compared to 5.3% p.a. for        12M 2019 mainly due to transfers in placement from high-yielding NBRK notes into low-yielding FX deposit with NBRK following the repayment of SWAP agreement.

 

Cost of risk for 12M 2020 decreased to 0.4% compared to 0.7% for 12M 2019 and decreased to (1.0%) in 4Q 2020 compared to 0.2% in 3Q 2020 mainly due to repayments of large ticket corporate loans.

 

Fee and commission income for 12M 2020 increased by 6.6% vs. 12M 2019 as a result of growing volumes of transactional banking, mainly in plastic card operations, as well as bank transfers - settlements.

 

The increase in fee and commission expense by 15.6% Y-o-Y was mainly due to increased number of transactions of other banks' cards in the acquiring network of the Bank, partially offset by the decrease in deposit insurance fees payable to the Kazakhstan Deposit Insurance Fund due to lower rates for the Bank on the back of increase of capital adequacy ratios.

 

Other non-interest income (8) increased by 16.9% to KZT 89.5bn for 12M 2020 vs. KZT 76.6bn for                            12M 2019 mainly due to net gain from derivative operations and securities following the repayment of SWAP agreement with NBRK for the amount of USD 912.

 

Net insurance income (9) for 12M 2020 significantly increased vs. 12M 2019 as a result of new unsecured lending program with a borrower's life insurance bundle.

 

Operating expenses for 12M 2020 increased by 8.9% vs. 12M 2019 mainly due to the increase in salaries and other employee benefits as a result of the increase in sales based payments in retail business in 2020 and due to the loyalty program bonuses payable to the customers, which are included in operating expenses related to the advertisement and loyalty program starting from 4Q 2019.

 

The Bank's cost-to-income ratio increased to 26.8% compared to 25.4% for 12M 2019 due to higher operating expenses for 12M 2020.

  2. Insurance underwriting income (gross insurance premiums written, net change in unearned insurance premiums, ceded reinsurance share) less insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance (insurance payments, insurance reserves expenses, commissions to agents).

As at YE 2020, total assets increased by 12.5% vs. YE 2019 due to growth in deposits and total equity.

 

As at YE 2020, amounts due from credit institutions increased by 13.3 times vs. YE 2019 due to placement of funds following the repayment of SWAP agreement with NBRK for the amount of USD 912 mln.

 

Compared with YE 2019, loans to customers increased by 15.9% on a gross basis and 18.5% on a net basis. Increase of gross loan portfolio was attributable to increase in corporate loans (10.1% on a gross basis), increase in SME and retail loans by 24.1% and 24.4% on a gross basis, respectively.

 

As at YE 2020, Stage 3 ratio decreased to 12.3% from 14.8% as at the end of 3Q 2020 mainly due to write-off, repayment and restructuring of problem indebtedness.

 

Deposits of legal entities and individuals increased by 19.1% and 13.8%, respectively, compared to                          YE 2019 mainly due to fund inflow from the Bank's clients, and positive revaluation of FX-denominated deposits due to KZT depreciation in 12M 2020. As at the YE 2020, the share of corporate KZT deposits in total corporate deposits was 59.9% compared to 55.5% as at the end of 3Q 2020, whereas the share of retail KZT deposits in total retail deposits was 45.9% compared to 43.5% as at the end of 3Q 2020.

 

Debt securities issued decreased by 6.7% compared to YE 2019 as a result of a partial prepayment of Eurobond issue on 31 December 2020, partially offset by KZT depreciation in 12M 2020.

EME Macro/Strategy: dividends in EMEA – yield hunting after markets ha...

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...
