The lower supply pressure and turning interest rate cycle have helped CEE bank bonds outperform this year, particularly in the unsecured segment. The relative value metrics of CEE bank bonds remain enticing though versus European comparables, from a bank fundamental and instrument rating angle. We expect to see a further outperformance of CEE names.

TBC has reported GEL 329m in net income for 2Q24 (up 12% yoy), broadly in line with the GEL 314m consensus and our GEL 321m estimate. In terms of the core lines, we see no major deviations from the consensus or our estimates, with the provisions being an exception, as the COR in Georgia was as low as 30bpts, on the back of a sizable recovery (16bpts benefit) and a positive macro outlook (the bank has revised its 2024E Georgia GDP growth expectations from 6.4% to 7.4%). TBC also announced a GEL 2...
Group-level clean CCS EBITDA reached USD 825 mn, up 101% YoY and 15% QoQ. Clean operating results totalled USD 543 mn, reflecting a 267% YoY and 27% QoQ increase, primarily due to the absence of significant extraordinary taxes that impacted the previous year and quarter.

We maintain our BUY rating on Banca Transilvania (TLV), with an increased price target (PT) of RON 31.89/share, implying 16.4% upside. We have rolled forward our model, updated our underlying business assumptions, and integrated the recent OTP Romania acquisition into our forecasts, and we believe that the market might not be fully pricing in TLV’s potential yet. The stock might not appear particularly cheap at this juncture, trading at 1.5x P/BV, on our 2024E figures, but it also does not scre...

We have revised our valuations for the Georgian banks, and dived deep into Uzbekistan and TBC Bank Group’s (TBC) Uzbekistan business.

With this report, we also begin to monitor Ameria Bank’s numbers separately, and include the bank in our SOTP valuation for Bank of Georgia (BGEO). Ameria is the top bank in Armenia, which BGEO acquired for attracti...
