• Net profit totaled RUB152.5 bn vs. RUB18.5 bn for 11M 2009 

 Net interest incomeremained virtually unchanged y-o-y for 11M 2010. Growth was held back by lower income from lending to corporate clients on the back of falling market rates and a bulk of early repayments late 2009-early 2010.

The decline in interest income in the corporate segment was offset by higher income on securities portfolio and retail lending as well as decreased interest expense due to lower corporate funding costs and reduced outstanding amounts due to other banks.

Net fee and commission

incomegrew 12.7% y-o-y, supported by growth from almost all fee-generating services.Net gain from trading operationsincreased by 33% y-o-y, mainly reflecting gains from operations with securities. 

Operating income before provisionsfell by 6.4% y-o-y which was the result of costs incurred from the sale of assets at fair value to the Bank’s subsidiary in March 2010 (see ‘Sberbank releases 1Q 2010 Financial Highlights’).

Operating expenseswere up by 16.1% y-o-y mainly due to higher staff costs which increased in line with planned wage adjustments for this year as well as general and administrative expenses related to business expansion.  Cost to income ratio, adjusted for the effect of the asset sale at fair value in March 2010, stood at 38.7%.

Stabilization of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio led to lower provisioning charges.  For 11 months of 2010, the Bank channeled RUB112.8 bn into provisions, including a RUB99.7 bn provision charge for loan impairment.  This stands in favorable contrast to the provisions of RUB343.5 and RUB322.3 bn, respectively, allocated for the same period a year ago.

Operating income after provisionsgrew 1.9 times y-o-y.  Profit before taxtotaled RUB189.7 bn andnet profitcame in at RUB152.5 bn. Both numbers are several times higher the year-ago levels.

Regulatory capital(under CBR regulation No. 215-P) increased by RUB26 bn in October to RUB1,226 bn, with net profit remaining the main source of funding.  The Bank’s regulatory capital declined from the start of the year after repayment of a RUB200 bn tranche of the RUB500 bn subordinated loan to the Central Bank of Russia in May 2010.
