Vakhtang Butskhrikidze, CEO of TBC Bank Group commented on the results:
“I am delighted to report a record quarterly net profit for TBC in 2Q 2024 as our earnings rose 12% year-on-year to GEL 329 million, with a return on equity of 27.1%. This excellent performance was underpinned by 16% year-on-year total operating income growth as our businesses in both Georgia and Uzbekistan continued to post strong growth within positive macroeconomic backdrops. I am particularly pleased to report that our active digital user base continues to expand strongly, and over the past 12 months we have added 1.4 million digital monthly users, taking digital MAU to 5.7 million.

Our core Georgian business remains extremely profitable even in a declining rate environment, with almost 27% ROE and close to 20% loan growth. Meanwhile, our digital banking ecosystem in Uzbekistan goes from strength to strength, with both total operating income and net profit surging by around 90% year-on-year, and Uzbekistan now contributing 7% of group profit. Our Uzbekistan loan portfolio doubled year-on-year to GEL 1.1 billion/USD 400 million and now accounts for 44% of Group consumer loans.

Finally, I am pleased to announce an interim dividend of GEL 2.55 per share has been declared. On top of the GEL 50 million buyback announced in May, this is testament to our continued ability to both grow our business strongly and return capital to our shareholders.”
