DIRECTOR'S REVIEW
DIRECTORS' REVIEW
Chairman’s Statement
Dear stakeholders,
I am writing this Chairman’s Statement during extremely challenging
times . We look at the last financial year (2022), which I previously
wrote would bring the unexpected . We also look ahead thinking
about the future in an attempt to contextualise recent events for our
stakeholders .
The economic environment in 2022 was dominated by uncertainty .
Together with my fellow Board members we made it a priority to main-
tain the Group’s resilience and prudent risk management . The fact
that risk-related costs and provisions in 2022 remained quite limited
despite all the challenges, is evidence of the stability and adaptabil-
ity of the Group’s effective business model, its highly professional
management team, the top quality of its credit book and the robust
management of market risks .
As a Board we are very conscious of our duties and commitments to
our shareholders, our nearly 65% free float of well-known interna-
tional investor names who trusted us in better times with their and
their clients' money . The Board is absolutely committed to securing
the best possible outcomes for you and is very conscious that in this
unprecedented environment, our investors rely on us to navigate
steadily through rough waters .
I am convinced that as a Board we have made and continue to make
powerful contributions during what is one of the most testing times
any of us have experienced with our consistent support for the
Group’s notable strengths, namely: strong capital and liquidity po-
sitions, innovative technologies, good control of risk, and quick and
collected reactions to shocks and to the challenges that they create .
During 2022, the Board has had to respond to fast-paced develop-
ments, high-stakes decisions, a grand reshuffling of global priorities
and many other urgent challenges . We have always dealt with these
with our duties to you, our investors, top of mind .
Finally, I want to say thank you to all those who have contributed this
year to the Group to get us to where we are today . It has been a diffi-
cult year to say the least, however I have seen everyone work faithfully
and diligently to do the hard work that needed to be done, and I
acknowledge that the challenges put before us have been difficult
often not only professionally, but also personally .
Let’s all look forward optimistically to a better 2023 .
Yours sincerely
Constantinos Economides
Chairman of the Board of Directors

Report from the management team
Dear stakeholders,
We have continued to give back to those in need .
Our efforts to support vulnerable and less fortunate groups
continue through both corporate and employee-driven programs .
In 2022, users of Tinkoff services donated RUB 1 .6 bn to Russian
non-profit organisations via the charity and cashback section of
the Tinkoff mobile app, as well as via the Group’s joint initiatives
with charitable and educational foundations .
We strongly believe that during volatile times we need to focus on
winning customer trust, supporting communities, and investing
in people .
Let's hope that 2023 brings positive changes in the business
environment .
Management team
Despite optimistic projections at the start of the year, the econom-
ic situation in 2022 has been characterised by ongoing challenges .
Even in such uncertain days, our tech-driven business model has
enabled us to deliver continued growth . We have focused on solid-
ifying our business franchise, providing uninterrupted service to
our customers (who solely consist of individuals and micro-SMEs),
supporting the team, and adjusting the Group’s products to
changing market conditions, helped by the continuously evolving
functionality of our IT platforms .
The number of our total retail customers increased in 2022 and we
have remained profitable throughout the year .
In 2022, we continued to expand the Tinkoff ecosystem with
innovative products and services . This includes Tinkoff Pay, an
instant payment service that enables customers to make quick,
convenient and secure purchases of products and services in
online stores without entering their card details . We also intro-
duced Tinkoff ID, a unified sign-in system that enables customers
to access the full range of Tinkoff products and partner services
with just a few clicks . In December, we also introduced the Tinkoff
Seller platform, a groundbreaking solution for the Russian e-com-
merce market based on artificial intelligence and machine-learn-
ing technologies .
The operational and technological changes that we made to our
business processes in 2022 have put us in a better position to
maintain uninterrupted operations for our customers in the face of
heightened external pressure . We are assessing and will continue
to assess on an ongoing basis the impact of the recent sanctions
and restrictive measures imposed on Tinkoff Bank in late February
2023, to ensure full compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations .
We are facing a very different crisis from those we have faced be-
fore, and this is completely uncharted territory . But as you know,
our business model is very flexible, and we can withstand severe
shocks . We have ample liquidity and a solid capital position . We
are monitoring the operational performance of our business
minute-by-minute and have all key systems in place to ensure the
security and flow of our customers' funds and assets .
We have continued to invest in talent sourcing and retention .
Being an appealing employer for IT talent is of paramount
importance to the long-term success and sustainability of our
business . To attract highly skilled professionals, we continue to
invest heavily in partnerships with leading universities, summer
IT schools, mathematics competitions, and more . To retain talent,
we continue to provide extensive training programs, flexible work
environments, ensure a decentralised and horizontal organisa-
tional structure, and zealously cultivate our Tinkoff DNA .

STRATEGIC REVIEWFINANCIALSTCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2022DIRECTOR'S REVIEW 31 DECEMBER 2022
Consolidated
Management Report
The Board of directors presents its report together with the audited
consolidated financial statements of TCS Group Holding PLC (the
“Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) for the year
ended 31 December 2022 .
Principal activities and nature of operations
of the Group
1 . The Group’s principal activities are mainly undertaken within
the Russian Federation and consist of on-line retail financial
operations, through its subsidiaries JSC “Tinkoff Bank” (the
“Bank”), LLC Microfinance company "T-Finance", LLC “Phoenix”
and other operations through its subsidiaries, such as insurance
operations through JSC “Tinkoff Insurance” (the “Insurance
Company) .
2 . The Bank specialises in consumer finance, retail banking for
individuals, individual entrepreneurs (“IE”), small and medium
enterprises (“SME”), acquiring and payments services and bro-
kerage services . The Bank which is fully licensed by the Central
Bank of Russia, launched its operations in the Summer of 2007
and is a member of the Russian Deposit Insurance System . The
Insurance Company specialises in providing non-life insurance
coverage such as accident, property, travel, credit protection
and auto insurance . As at 31 December 2022 in accordance
with IFRS 10 definition of control the Group has no ultimate
controlling party .
Changes in group structure
9 .
3 . There were no significant changes in the structure of the Group
in 2022 .
Review of developments, position and
performance of the Group’s business
4 . The Group operates a flexible business model. Its virtual network
enables it to quickly and easily increase business or slow down
customer acquisition depending upon the availability of funding
and market conditions . The Bank’s primary customer acquisition
channels are Internet and Mobile, but it also uses Direct Sales
Agents and partnerships (co-brands) to acquire new customers .
These customer acquisition models, combined with the Bank’s
virtual network, afford it a geographic reach across Russia
resulting in a highly diversified portfolio.
5 .
In October 2021 the Bank was added to the Bank of Russia’s list
of 13 systemically important banking institutions due to a recog-
nition of the Bank’s growing presence in the financial market and
expanding customer base of its ecosystem . As a result, the Bank
is obliged to comply with the additional capital adequacy buffers,
as well as advanced risk management requirements . The Bank is
operating with ample liquidity and capital buffers above regula-
tory minimums and intends to continue comfortably meeting all
applicable requirements comfortably .
6 . As a result of attaining systemically important bank sta-
tus, management made a decision to create a portfolio of
investments in debt securities managed under a “hold to
collect” business model . These securities were accounted
for at amortised cost (AC), as opposed to fair value, they will
be held until full maturity and will not be susceptible to market
price fluctuations. This portfolio was created from the Bank’s
existing portfolio of high-grade bonds, consisting of Russian
government bonds. On 1 January 2022 the Group reclassified
these bonds amounted to RR 122,805 million, previously
accounted for under “Hold to collect and sell” business model,
into “‘Hold to collect” business model and hence accounted
for at AC, resulting in reversal of RR 14,867 million of negative
revaluation reserve recognised through other comprehensive
income . Refer to Note 7 for more information .
7 . The Bank is operating with ample liquidity and capital buffers
above regulatory minimums and expects to continue meeting
all applicable requirements comfortably .
8 . The key offerings of JSC “Tinkoff Insurance” are personal
accident insurance, collective insurance against accidents
and illnesses, travel insurance, motor vehicle insurance and
property insurance, compulsory third party liability insurance
(CTP) and voluntary third party liability insurance (VTP) (Note
24) . The Insurance Company focuses on online sales .In order
to reflect appropriately the uncertainty associated with the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has made changes to its ECL
model, which resulted in approximately RR 3 .5 billion of addi-
tional credit loss allowance as at 31 December 2021
(2020: RR 5 .6 billion) . Refer to Notes 2 and 3 .
In terms of financial performance the profit of the Group
for the year ended 31 December 2022 was RR 20,802 million
(2021: RR 63,368 million). Such a gradual decline in profit
by 67% was driven by the escalating geopolitical tension
in the region that affected the economic and operating
environment of the Group and led to an increase in credit risks,
volatility in financial markets and wind-down of lending during
1st and 2nd quarters of 2022. In order to reflect appropriately
the impact of macroeconomic uncertainty on loan portfolio,
the Group has made changes to its expected credit loss allow-
ance model, which resulted in approximately RR 15 .1 billion
of additional credit loss allowance . Net interest income
growth slowed down in 2022, by 8 .6% to RR 143,897 million,
compared to 2021 increase of 26 .6% to RR 132,558 million,
which was driven by Central Bank key rate hike in the first
half of 2022 . The 90 days plus overdue loans ratio (“NPL”)
increased to 12 .1% as at 31 December 2022 (2021: 8 .6%) .
The NPL coverage ratio increased to 141 .5% as at 31 Decem-
ber 2022 (2021: 131 .9%) . The growth of the operating costs
was driven mainly by the increase in personnel compensa-
tions as the result of expanding customer base .
Environmental matters
10 . As the Group is an online-only financial institution, the
management of the Group believes that none of the Group’s
business relationships, products or services are likely to have
any significant actual or potential environmental impacts and
does not believe its operations are exposed to any material
environmental risks . Still the Group management provides
its strategic vision and supervise the Climate Strategy by
driving of the relevant initiatives and allocating the necessary
resources .
11 . Addressing climate change is a major element in the Group’s
sustainability strategy that is integrated into key business
practices, policies, processes, and initiatives that ensure
the long-term sustainability of the Group’s business . In
2021 the Group became a signatory to the UN Principles
for Responsible Banking and has joined the Science Based
Targets Initiative (SBTI) . In order to realise its SBTI plans and
Net Zero commitments, the Group has established an internal
transformation team to support the relevant developments
and initiatives .
12 . The Group is implementing a climate risk assessment process
that covers both physical and transitional risks . The assess-
ment is made based on the country and sectoral context of
their likelihood and consequences .
13 . As of 31 December 2022 the Group considered RCP8 .5
IPPC AR5 scenario as the current and most likely scenario for
mid-term (until 2040) physical climate change . The manage-
ment of the Group is planning for climate stress testing to
assess the mid- and long-term impact of climate risks on
its financial portfolio.
Human resources
14 . Empowerment is an important ingredient in the success of our
organization . To achieve this, decision-making is delegated
to levels deep below the management team, discussion, idea
generation and exchange and transparency are actively pro-
moted and encouraged and an open leadership style ensures
that information can move freely . The Group utilizes all types
of forums to promote continual dialogue – such as email, on-
line chat rooms, flash meetings, as well as formalized meeting
structures. The Group offers clear far-reaching career path
for its employees, a unique work environment and fair and
transparent compensation .
15 . Clear performance evaluation processes and fair compensa-
tion are essential. Compensation is a combination of fixed rate
salary and supplemental bonuses and is based on employee
performance . Employees are evaluated on a regular basis in
order to monitor their achievement against their Key Perfor-
mance Indicators as well as to provide feedback which can be
used for their career development and to determine incentive
compensation .
16 . Prior to its IPO in 2013, the Group set up share-based man-
agement long term incentive plans as retention and motiva-
tional tools for key and senior managers . In March 2016, the
Group announced a consolidated management long-term
incentive and retention plan (MLTIP) . Since then the Group
has announced an expansion of MLTIP during the next 6 years .
The MLTIP programs are designed to grow the Group's value
by aligning more closely managers’ interests with those of
shareholders . The Group believes that participation in its
share capital is an effective motivation and retention tool.
The MLTIP programs embrace a growing number of managers,
for two main reasons: firstly, internal promotions as some
employees were promoted to key managerial positions in line
with the growth of the Group; and, secondly, as part of its
expansion and transformation into a financial marketplace, the
Group has hired a significant number of new managers to de-
velop and manage new business lines and to strengthen internal
controls, including cyber security . The total size of the unvested
pool of the expanded MLTIP programs was 3 .4% of the Group’s
share capital as at 31 December 2022 (2021: 3 .6%)
Non-Financial Information and Diversity
Statement
17 . The Group’s policies and other information that provide an
understanding of the development, performance, position and
impact of the Group’s activities in the areas of environmental,
social and employee matters, respect for human rights, an-
ti-corruption and bribery matters can be found in the Group’s
most recently published Non-Financial Information and Diver-
sity Statement (Sustainability Report) . The Group will publish
its Sustainability Report for the year ended 2022, if it forms
part of an integrated annual report on the Company’s website,
www.tcsgh.com.cy (and www.tinkoff.ru/eng) by 30 April 2023,
but in any case no later than 30 June 2023 .
Principal risks and uncertainties
18 . The Group’s business and financial results are impacted
by uncertainties and volatilities in the Russian economic
environment which can be impacted by global factors and/or
by national factors as disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements.
19 . The Group is subject to a number of principal risks which might
adversely impact its performance . The principal activities of
the Group are banking and insurance operations and so it is
within this area that the principal risks occur . Management
considers that those principal risks are financial risks, oper-
ational risks and legal risks . Financial risk comprises market
risks (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk .
20 . The Board has put in place arrangements to identify, evaluate
and manage the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the
Group . The Group has an established risk management pro-
gram that focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets
and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's
financial performance. This is overseen by a dedicated Risk
Management function, which works with senior management

Share capital
27 . At the beginning of 2021 the Group underwent a major re-
structuring of its shareholder structure . On 7 January 2021 all
issued 69,914,043 class B shares (35 .08% of the total number
of issued shares) held by The Rigi Trust and The Bernina
Trust were converted to class A shares, and on the same date
100% of issued shares were reclassified and redesignated
as ordinary shares . Following the conversion, each share
carries a single vote, and the total number of votes capable of
being exercised is equal to the total number of issued shares
(currently 199,305,492 shares following the class B share
conversion). The number of GDRs in issue was not affected by
the conversion . Then the shares held by the two trusts were
transferred to The New Rigi Trust . After the conversion the
Trust’s voting rights dropped to approximately 35 .08% .
28 . On 28 April 2022 The New Rigi Trust, a major shareholder of
the Company, disposed of its entire interest in the Company .
Interros,
a leading Russian investment group with a diverse portfolio
of assets including in banking, has acquired an interest in the
Group, and consequently now holds approximately 35 .08%
of the outstanding shares in the Company . The deal was ap-
proved by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation . As a re-
sult of the aforementioned deal Mr Vladimir Potanin, ultimate
beneficiary owner of Interros, became a minority shareholder
with a total shareholding of 35 .08% (2021: Mr Oleg Tinkov
with a shareholding of 35 .08%) .
29 . As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 in accordance with IFRS 10
definition of control the Group has no ultimate controlling party.
Any important events for the Group that have
occurred after the end of the financial year
Treasury shares
25 . Since February 2022 the economic situation in the Russian
Federation has been and is still affected by escalated military and
political conflict and the associated international sanctions against
a number of Russian institutions, companies, banks and individuals .
On 25 February 2023, the Bank and became subject to an asset
freeze in the EU under the Council Implementing Regulation (EU)
No 2023/429, implementing Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014
(the "EC Regulation 269"). The Company and its controlled
subsidiary undertakings (other than the Bank and any controlled
subsidiary undertakings of the Bank) are not subject to an asset
freeze pursuant to EC Regulation 269 or to other EU sanctions .
Management of the Group is assessing its impact on the business .
26 . As a result, the Bank’s ability to make payments under its
Eurobonds issued in 2017 and 2021 through the usual channels
was undermined by the assets freeze restrictions . In this regard,
the Bank cancelled interest payments for the one upcoming
coupon period under its Eurobonds to avoid discrimination of
all bondholders and to focus on finding a practical and lawful
solution to remedy this situation by the time of the next coupon
payment. The Bank has sufficient funds for this purpose and will
resume payments under the relevant Eurobonds as soon as it
becomes legally attainable .
30 . At 31 December 2022 the Group held 602,975 (2021:
1,237,583) of its own GDRs, equivalent to approximately RR
1,885 million (2021: RR 2,567 million) and which represent
0 .3% (2021: 0 .6%) of the issued shares .
31 . Treasury shares are GDRs of TCS Group Holding PLC and in-
clude those that are held by a special purpose trust which has
been specifically created for the long-term incentive program
for the MLTIP (see Note 38 for further information) .
32 . During 2022 no GDRs were repurchased by the Group (2021:
425,017 GDRs were repurchased at market price for RR 1,877
million) .
33 . During 2022 the Group transferred 634,608 GDRs (2021:
2,200,813 GDRs), representing 0 .32% (2021: 1 .10%) of the
issued shares, upon vesting under the MLTIP . This resulted
in a transfer of RR 682 million (2021: RR 2,548 million) out of
treasury shares to retained earnings .
Research and development activities
34 . During the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group
has undertaken research and development activities related to
software including greater use of biometrics, voice assistant,
social networking, machine learning and intelligence .

to continue in operation for the foreseeable future . This as-
sessment was made based on the information available to the
Group as at the date of approving the financial statements.

STRATEGIC REVIEWFINANCIALSTCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2022DIRECTOR'S REVIEW Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of TCS Group Holding PLC
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of TCS Group Holding PLC (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries
(together the “Group”) give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and of its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113 .
What we have audited
We have audited the consolidated financial statements which are presented in pages 1 to 122 and comprise:
•
•
•
•
•
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022;
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) . Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report .
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the ethical require-
ments that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Cyprus and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibili-
ties in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code .
Our audit approach
Overview
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial
statements. In particular, we considered where the Board of Directors made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant
accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain . As in all of our audits,
we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was
evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud .

STRATEGIC REVIEWFINANCIALSTCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2022DIRECTOR'S REVIEW Materiality
Audit scope
• Overall group materiality: Russian Roubles (“RR”) 4 000 million, which
represents approximately 2% of net assets .
• We planned and conducted our audit to cover the two largest business com-
ponents of the Group, being Banking and Insurance operations, for which we
performed full scope audits of each of their complete financial information.
• For the other components, we performed substantive audit procedures
where necessary .
Key audit matters
We have identified the following key audit matter:
We determined the level of involvement we needed to have in the audit work at the business reporting components to be able to conclude
whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence was obtained as a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
We worked with other audit firms in relation to the activities of the Group in the Russian Federation. Overall, we have obtained sufficient and
appropriate audit evidence regarding the consolidated financial information of the Group as a whole to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters .
• Credit loss allowance for loans and advances to customers, using the expected
credit loss model in line with the requirements of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” .
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered
material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality
for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped
us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements,
both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Overall group materiality
RR 4 000 million
How we determined it
Approximately 2% of net assets .
Rationale for the materiality
benchmark applied
We chose net assets as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark
against which the net financial position of the Group is most commonly measured by the
users of the consolidated financial statements, and it is a generally accepted bench-
mark in particular during periods of volatility of earnings . We chose 2%, which in our
experience is an acceptable quantitative threshold for this materiality benchmark .
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above RR 200 million as well as
misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons .
How we tailored our group audit scope
TCS Group Holding PLC is the parent of a group of companies. The financial information of this Group is included in the consolidated finan-
cial statements of TCS Group Holding PLC .
Considering our ultimate responsibility for the opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements we are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the group audit . In this context, we tailored the scope of our audit and determined the nature
and extent of the audit procedures for the components of the Group to ensure that we perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the significance and/or risk
profile of the group entities or activities, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
The Group has two primary business components, being Banking (which includes retail business for individuals and small and medium-sized
entities business) and Insurance operations, both of which operate primarily in the Russian Federation . The Banking business comprises
a number of reporting units being primarily JSC Tinkoff Bank, LLC Microfinance company Т-Finans and LLC Phoenix. The Insurance business
comprises solely JSC Tinkoff Insurance. Full scope audit procedures were performed in respect of the Banking and Insurance operations.
Other Group business reporting components are not considered to be primary business components for audit purposes . Where necessary,
additional substantive audit procedures were carried out across these non-primary components at the financial statement item level in
order to achieve the desired level of audit evidence. The consolidated financial statements are a consolidation of all of the above business
reporting components .
Credit loss allowance for loans and advances
to customers, using the expected credit loss
model in line with the requirements of IFRS 9
“Financial Instruments”
This is a complex accounting standard for which
models have been developed by the Group as a basis
to calculate expected credit losses (“ECL”) . These
calculations involve the application of significant
management judgement and estimates .
Therefore, we applied focus to the “expected
credit loss” models used by the Management for the
purpose of compliance with IFRS 9 . These models
are described in more detail in Note 40 “Significant
Accounting Policies” and Note 30 “Financial and
Insurance Risk Management” to the consolidated
financial statements.
An assessment of the credit loss allowance for
loans and advances to customers is performed on a
portfolio basis, with the key assumptions being the
probability of an account falling into arrears and
subsequently defaulting (which is impacted by the
definitions of “significant increase in credit risk”
and “default”), the estimated recoveries from de-
faulted loans and the lifetime period for revolving
credit facilities . Statistical models are used for the
assessment of the probability of default, recovery
rate and the lifetime period for revolving credit
facilities . In addition, calculation of the expected
credit loss allowance incorporates forward-look-
ing information, taking into consideration different
macro-economic scenarios and adjusting the
probability of default .
In relation to the ECL models for measuring credit loss allowance we assessed the
appropriateness of the key assumptions used in the methodologies and models of the
Group and their compliance with the requirements of IFRS 9 .
We reviewed the Group’s back-testing of probabilities of default estimated on the
basis of the models by comparing them to the actual default rates evidenced in the
loan portfolios . In addition we performed our own back-testing of default probabili-
ties based on actual movements into the Stage 3 category of loans in 2022 to ensure
the reasonableness of the application of the policies and models used .
For a sample of inputs into estimation of recovery rate, we tested them for accuracy and
criteria for inclusion into the calculation .
With regard to the controls relating to the credit loss allowance calculation process, we
assessed and tested on a sample basis the design and operating effectiveness of the
key controls over credit loss data and calculations . These key controls included those
over classification of certain loans by loan portfolios, allocation of cash received from
customers to respective loans and advances to customers, identification of the overdue
loans and the data transfer from source systems to the credit loss allowance models .
We assessed if and to what extent we could place reliance upon these key controls for
the purposes of our audit .
In addition, we performed testing, on a sample basis, of the accuracy of allocation
of loans to the different “stages” and the completeness of restructured credit-
impaired loans .
We tested a sample of post model accounting adjustments where applicable, including
considering the basis for the adjustment, the logic applied, the source data used, the
key assumptions adopted and consistency with prior periods. We verified management
assumptions in the context of the economic environment that is affected by the current
geopolitical situation .
We assessed if the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements comply
with the relevant accounting standards in terms of completeness and accuracy .
Reporting on other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information . The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidat-
ed Management Report including the Corporate Governance Statement, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the
Group’s complete Annual Report and Non-Financial Information and Diversity Statement, which is expected to be made available to us after
that date. Other information does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon .
(2)
(3)
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated . If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact . We have nothing to report in this regard .
When we read the Group’s complete Annual Report and Non-Financial Information and Diversity Statement, if we conclude that there is
a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and if not corrected, we
will bring the matter to the attention of the members of the Company at the Company's Annual General Meeting and we will take such other
action as may be required .
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accord-
ance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies
Law, Cap . 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so .
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion . Reasonable assurance is a high level
of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists . Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit . We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion . The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control .
• From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
Pursuant to the additional requirements of the Auditors Law of 2017, we report the following:
•
•
•
•
•
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, the consolidated management report has been prepared in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113, and the information given is consistent with the consolidated
financial statements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to
report if we have identified material misstatements in the consolidated management report. We have nothing to report in this respect.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, the information included in the corporate governance statement
in accordance with the requirements of subparagraphs (iv) and (v) of paragraph 2(a) of Article 151 of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap .
113, and which is included as a specific section of the consolidated management report, have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, the corporate governance statement includes all information
referred to in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (vi) and (vii) of paragraph 2(a) of Article 151 of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113 .
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to re-
port if we have identified material misstatements in the corporate governance statement in relation to the information disclosed for items
(iv) and (v) of subparagraph 2(a) of Article 151 of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113 . We have nothing to report in this respect .
Other Matters
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company’s members as a body in accordance with Section 69 of
the Auditors Law of 2017 and for no other purpose . We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose
or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to .
As required by the Financial Conduct Authority Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 4.1.14R, these consolidated financial
statements form part of the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)- prepared annual financial report filed on the National Storage
Mechanism of the Financial Conduct Authority in accordance with the ESEF Regulatory Technical Standard (ESEF RTS) . This independent
auditor’s report provides no assurance over whether the annual financial report has been prepared using the single electronic format
specified in the ESEF RTS.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circum-
stances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
The consolidated financial statements of TCS Group Holding PLC for the year ended 31 December 2021, were audited by another auditor
who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 3 March 2022.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by the Board of Directors .
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern . If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report . However, future events or conditions
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern .
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to
express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the
group audit . We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion .
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
• We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our inde-
pendence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied .
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Olga Menelaou .

2 Operating Environment of the Group
At 31 December 2022 the share capital of the Company is comprised of ordinary shares (31 December 2021: same) . Each ordinary
share has a nominal value of USD 0 .04 per share and carries one vote . As at 31 December 2022 the number of issued ordinary shares is
199,305,492 (31 December 2021: same) . Refer to Note 20 for further information on the share capital . On 25 October 2013 the Group
completed an initial public offering of its ordinary shares in the form of global depository receipts (GDRs) listed on the London Stock
Exchange plc. On 2 July 2019 the Group completed a secondary public offering (SPO) of its shares in the form of GDRs. On 28 October
2019 the Group’s GDRs started trading also on the Moscow Exchange . As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 in accordance with IFRS 10
definition of control the Group has no ultimate controlling party.
On 28 April 2022 The New Rigi Trust, a major shareholder of the Company, disposed of its entire interest in the Company . Interros,
a leading Russian investment group with a diverse portfolio of assets including in banking, has acquired an interest in the Group, and
consequently now holds approximately 35 .08% of the outstanding shares in the Company . The deal was approved by the Central Bank
of the Russian Federation. As a result of the aforementioned deal Mr Vladimir Potanin, ultimate beneficiary owner of Interros, became
a minority shareholder with a total shareholding of 35.08% (2021: Mr Oleg Tinkov with a shareholding of 35.08%). The free float of the
Company amounts to approximately 64 .92% of the Company’s issued share capital and Guaranty Nominees Limited is the company
that holds the ordinary shares of the Company for which GDRs are issued under a deposit agreement made between the Company and
JPMorgan Chase Bank NA signed in October 2013 .
The free float of the Company amounts to approximately 64.92% of the Company’s issued share capital and Guaranty Nominees Limited
is the company that holds the ordinary shares of the Company for which GDRs are issued under a deposit agreement made between the
Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank .
The material subsidiaries of the Group are set out below . The Group owns 100% of shares and has 100% of voting rights of each of these
subsidiaries as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 .
JSC “Tinkoff Bank” (the “Bank”) provides on-line retail financial services in Russia, such as retail loans (credit cards, cash loans,
consumer loans, car loans, secured loans), deposits and savings, retail debit cards, investment services, SME services, acquiring and
payments, other lifestyles and travel services to individuals .
JSC “Tinkoff Insurance” (the “Insurance Company”) provides insurance services such as accident, property, travellers', financial risks
and auto insurance .
LLC "Microfinance company “Т-Finans” provides micro-finance services.
LLC “Phoenix” is a debt collection agency .
Principal activity. The Group’s principal business activities are retail banking to private individuals, individual entrepreneurs’ and
small and medium enterprises’ (“SME”) accounts and banking services, brokerage services, insurance operations, acquiring and pay-
ments’ services within the Russian Federation through the Bank and the Insurance Company . The Bank operates under general banking
license No . 2673 issued by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (“CBRF”) on 8 December 2006 . This license was re-issued on
11 April 2022 due to changes in requirements related to certain banking operations . The Insurance Company operates under an insur-
ance license No . 0191 issued by the CBRF .
The Bank participates in the state deposit insurance scheme, which was introduced by Federal Law No . 177-FZ “Deposits insurance in
banks of the Russian Federation” dated 23 December 2003 . The State Deposit Insurance Agency guarantees repayment of up
Russian Federation. The Group operates mainly within the Russian Federation . In February 2022, the economic situation in Russia
was negatively affected by the geopolitical tension in the region, as well as expanded international sanctions against certain Russian
companies, citizens and institutions . The sanctions imposed by the UK, EU and the USA made technically impossible to process pay-
ments under Group’ obligations denominated in Euro, US dollar and several other currencies to bond and noteholders the title of which
is registered in international clearing systems or depositories. These factors led to a significant increase in volatility in the financial
markets, frequent and significant price changes, and an increase in trading spreads.
During the period from 18 February to 31 December 2022:
•
the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (the CBR) fluctuated in the range from 51.16 to 120.38 rubles per
USD (from 55 .3 to 72 .13 rubles per USD during 4Q 2022) and from 53 .86 rubles to 132 .96 rubles per Euro (from 52 .74 to 76 .64
rubles per Euro during 4Q 2022);
• RTS stock index fluctuated in the range from 742.9 to 1,465.6 points (in 4Q 2022 the index increased to the level of 1,132 points then
decreased to 966 .4 points at the end of the year);
•
•
•
the international sanctions list was expanded, which meant that the access for some companies to international financial markets
in order to raise funds was limited;
the cost of a barrel of oil on international markets is in the range from $53.51 to $128.46 per 1 barrel (during 4Q 2022 oil price fluctu-
ated in the range from $53 .51 to $74 .68) .
In 3Q 2022 the CBR has improved GDP forecast for 2022 from −4.2% to −3.5%. The CBR predicts that Russian economy will continue
to decline in 2023 and return to growth in 2024. Current forecast sees inflation of 12-13% in 2022 and 5-7% in 2023. At the same
time, Russian ruble appreciated by approximately 58% against USD for the year ended 31 December 2022 and reached 51 .16, amid
fundamental support from large trade surplus and imposed capital controls .
From 28 February 2022 the CBR’s Board of Directors decided to increase the key rate to 20% per annum to curb inflationary pressures
and protect the savings of citizens from depreciation, which resulted in substantial increase in cost of funding in Russian money markets
and customer deposits. Due to the gradual weakening of inflationary pressures, the CBR held few key rate meetings during 2022, follow-
ing which the key rate was reduced from 20% to 7 .5% as at 31 December 2022 in order to limit the risks of a large-scale drop in economic
activity .
The gradual reduction of financial stability risks allowed the regulator to soften currency control measures, including:
•
•
•
•
cancellation of the 30% limit on advance payments for foreign trade contracts in a number of industries and for small businesses
for contracts amounting to less than 15 thousand US dollars;
cancellation of the commission previously set at 12% for the purchase of currency through brokers;
extends period for sale of foreign currency earnings by exporters from 3 to 120 business days;
cancellation of restrictions to sell citizens foreign currency apart from US dollar and euro .
Because of the increased volatility in the financial sector, the CBR introduced a number of support measures, being:
• The ability to report shares and bonds acquired before 18 February 2022 at market value as of 18 February 2022, and acquired from 18
February to 31 December 2022 - at fair value as of the acquisition date. Applicable for the purposes of regulatory reporting. Effective until
31 December 2022 .

Operating Environment of the Group (Continued)
•
The ability to report shares and bonds acquired before 18 February 2022 at market value as of 18 February 2022, and acquired from
18 February to 31 December 2022 - at fair value as of the acquisition date. Applicable for the purposes of regulatory reporting. Effective
until 31 December 2022 .
• The ability to use for the purposes of calculating mandatory ratios the values of foreign exchange rates as of 18 February 2022 .
Applicable for the purposes of regulatory reporting. Effective until 31 December 2022.
•

•
Relaxation of short-term liquidity ratios for systemically important banks and brokers. Effective until 31 December 2022.
To improve the ability of banks to manage liquidity, the CBR intends to reduce to zero the additional and increased additional rates of
insurance premiums for banks participating in the deposit insurance system for deposits in rubles and foreign currency attracted in the
first and second quarters.
The ability not to decrease the estimates of borrowers’ financial standing and debt service quality for loan loss provisioning purposes if
borrowers’ financial standing deteriorated after 18 February 2022 as a result of the sanctions. Applicable for the purposes of regulatory
reporting. Effective until 31 December 2022.
The ability to use the assessments made as of 18 February 2022 for the assets recorded on banks’ balance sheets for loan loss provi-
sioning on loans where security assets are classified under quality category I and II. Applicable for the purposes of regulatory reporting.
Effective until 31 December 2022.
The implementation of the countercyclical macroprudential policy (release of the accumulated macroprudential capital buffer for unse-
cured consumer loans and mortgage loans in rubles and foreign currency), starting from 28 February 2022 . This measure has no time
limit . The value of add-ons to risk weights for claims issued after 1 March 2022 are released or decreased .
On 3 June 2022, the European Union imposed sanctions against the National Settlement Depository (NSD) as the largest securities depository
in Russia . As a result, the Bank's funds in euros were blocked on correspondent account in NSD, and all payments on matured coupons and
bonds were frozen. The management of the Group made a decision to reclassify these amounts to other financial assets and create provisions
for impairments for these blocked amounts . Refer to Note 12 .
On 21 September 2022, a partial mobilization of military reservists in Russia has started . The Group, based on the Government law, has
implemented repayment holidays for military personnel and members of their families on their loans for the period of service under a contract or
mobilization, or for the period of participation in a special operation .
As of 31 December 2022 the Group complied with all the required ratios including capital adequacy and liquidity ratios . The Group has formed
in advance a liquidity reserve, including cash in rubles and foreign currency, which will ensure the stability of customer service and the stability
of the Group . All necessary measures have been taken to ensure uninterrupted non-cash payments and meet the needs of the Group's custom-
ers, backing cash desks and ATMs with cash banknotes . Depending on the stress scenario, the Group provides for a liquidity recovery plan that
includes a wide range of measures aimed at protecting the funds, assets and interests of customers, as well as ensuring the regular operation
of all functions .
The Group maintains adequate capital and liquidity and closely monitors its foreign exchange position and cash flow, also it has all the neces-
sary technological capabilities for maintaining its operations without interruptions .
The Group regularly perfoms stress testing of its business to assess the sustainability of its liquidity and capital positions . These tests demon-
strate that Group’s current levels of capital and liquidity are more than sufficient to absorb operational impacts from potential economic shocks
and market volatility .
3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
in Applying Accounting Policies
The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements and the car-
rying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based
on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances . Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the ac-
counting policies. Judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements
and estimates that can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year include:
ECL measurement. Calculation and measurement of ECLs is an area of significant judgement and involves methodology, models and
data inputs . The following components of ECL calculation have a major impact on credit loss allowance: probability of default (“PD”)
(impacted by definition of default, SICR, forward-looking scenarios and theirs weights) and loss given default (“LGD”). The Group makes
estimates and judgments, which are constantly analysed based on statistical data, actual and forecast information, as well as manage-
ment experience, including expectations regarding future events that are considered reasonable in the current circumstances . Refer to
Note 30 for further information on ECL measurement .
An increase or decrease in PDs by 0 .5% compared to PDs used in the ECL estimates calculated at 31 December 2022 would result in an
increase or decrease in credit loss allowances of RR 3 .4 billion (2021: by 0 .5% RR 2 .3 billion) .
An increase or decrease in LGDs by 1% compared to LGDs used in the ECL estimates calculated at 31 December 2022 would result in an
increase or decrease in credit loss allowances of RR 1 .3 billion (2021: by 1% RR 0 .8 billion) .
In 2022, given the high degree of uncertainty associated with the current geopolitical situation, the Group has assessed the impact of
the economic environment on the applicable estimates used in calculating ECLs . In determining the amount of impairment, the Group
uses forward looking information based on forecasts and data received in the previous economic crisis, which results in a direct ad-
justment to the probability of default . As with any forecast, however, the projections and likelihoods of their occurrence are subject to
a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different from those projected. The effect
of the revision of forecast data led to an increase in the amount of the credit loss allowance by RR 15 .1 billion of additional credit loss
allowance as at 31 December 2022 . Refer to Note 8 for detailed breakdown of the charges made as the result of this forward-looking
information .
In 2021, in order to address rising credit risks the Group adjusted the main approaches to assessing the level of expected credit losses that have
the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
•
•
The macroeconomic model has become more conservative, based on different scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic, and higher
weight is assigned to the pessimistic scenario (refer to Note 30 for details on distribution of scenarios and sensitivity analysis) The
impact of the changed macroeconomic conditions assessed using the approaches described above was approximately RR 3 .5 billion of
additional credit loss allowance as at 31 December 2021 .
The Group implemented a new behavioural model for calculating probabilities of default for retail annuity loans (cash loans, secured
loans, POS loans and car loans). Management of the Group believes that the new model results in a more refined assessment of expect-
ed credit losses . The impact of this change was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and was recognized by including in
profit or loss RR 78 million of additional credit loss allowance charge. Refer to Note 8 to see impact on each class of loans separately.
Credit exposure on revolving credit facilities. For credit card loans, the Group's exposure to credit losses extends beyond the maximum
contractual period of the facility . For such facilities the Group measures ECLs over the period that the Group is exposed to credit risk and ECLs are
not mitigated by credit risk management actions . Application of this approach requires judgement: determining a period for measuring ECLs –
the Group considers historical information and experience about: (a) the length of time for related defaults to occur on similar financial instruments
following a SICR and (b) the credit risk management actions that the Group expects to take once the credit risk has increased (e .g . the reduction or
removal of undrawn limits) .
For details of the period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk on revolving facilities and which is used as an approximation of lifetime
period for ECL calculation for stage 2 and stage 3 loans and advances to customers, refer to Note 30 .
Perpetual subordinated debts. A perpetual subordinated bond issue in June 2017 was initially recognised in the amount of USD 295 .8 million
(RR 16 .9 billion) . A perpetual subordinated loan participation notes issue in September 2021 was initially recognised in the amount of USD 600
million (RR 43 .5 billion) . Both issues represented by the funds received from investors less issuance costs . Subsequent measurement of these
instruments is consistent with the accounting policy for debt securities in issue . Interest expense on these instruments is calculated using the
effective interest rate method and recognised in profit or loss for the year.
In the event the accrued interest is paid, the payment decreases the balance of the liability . A cancellation of accrued interest for a given period
results in its conversion, at the Group's option, into equity and therefore the respective amount of the liability is reclassified to equity. Foreign
exchange translation gains and losses on the bond are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Application of this approach requires judgement:
the Group has taken into consideration that there are contingent settlement provisions that could genuinely arise and as such has classified the
F-23

TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2022STRATEGIC REVIEWFINANCIALSDIRECTOR'S REVIEW 31 DECEMBER 2022
Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
perpetual subordinated debts instrument in its entirety as a liability, rather than equity, on the basis of the terms of issue which stipulate the possible
redemption of the instrument in several cases other than liquidation of the issuer .
Initially this portfolio was created from the Bank’s existing portfolio of high-grade bonds, consisting of Russian government bonds . The described
change in accounting treatment of the securities managed under hold to collect model is effective starting from 1 January 2022. Refer to Note 7.
If the Group had recognized these instruments as equity, then interest expense would only have been recognized when it was paid and treated as
a distribution from equity rather than an expense in profit or loss.
The Group also from time to time invests in perpetual subordinated debts issued by third parties . The Group has taken into consideration that
there are genuine contingent settlement provisions that could arise and as such has classified the investments in perpetual subordinated debts as
investments in debt securities on the basis of terms of issue which stipulate the possible redemption of the instrument in several cases other than
liquidation of the issuer .
The investments in these instruments are classified as debt investment securities measured at FVTPL since the analysis of the contractual cash flow
characteristics resulted in acquired perpetual bonds not passing SPPI test . If the Group had recognized this instrument as equity instrument, then it
could have been measured at FVTPL or FVOCI as the Group does not hold it for trading purposes .
Interest income recognition. The effective interest method incorporates significant assumptions around expected loan lives as well as judge-
ments of type of fees and costs that are included in interest income . Refer to Note 40 .
Unbundling of loans and insurance products . Certain loans issued by the Group are forgivable upon events such as the borrower's death, or
the borrower becoming unemployed because the borrower had opted to purchase the Insurance Company's products to cover repayments of the
related loan products issued by the Bank in such cases . The Group is able to measure the loans separately . Also the borrowers are able to take a loan
without insurance at the time of issuance with no different interest rate and the borrowers can cancel the insurance products at any time, separately
from the loan . Accordingly, the Group unbundles the loans from the insurance arrangement .
The portion of the fee attributable to the insurance component (i .e . the amount paid to the Insurance Company to cover the insured risk) is recognised
within Insurance premiums earned line (refer to Note 24) . The remaining portion of the fee approximates a fee that the Bank would have earned on
market terms for selling third party insurance products and it is recognised as a fee for selling credit protection within Fee and commission income
line (refer to Note 22) . The timing of recognition of the two income streams does not materially vary as the insurance coverage is accrued and
charged on a monthly basis .
Financial assets sales and securitisations . Group’s securitisation activities involve home equity loans and are predominantly transacted using
SPEs. In a typical securitisation, the SPE purchases assets financed by proceeds received from the SPE’s issuance of debt certificates and other
notes of indebtedness . These assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE and consolidated on the Group’s consolidated
statement of financial position, unless the accounting requirements for sale were met. At 31 December 2022 the Group has not made a securitisation
transaction that resulted in derecognition of transferred assets . The Group assessed that its secured loan portfolio meets the criteria for held to
collect business model and determined that the past securitisation transactions have not resulted in derecognition of the assets and therefore are not
inconsistent with the held to collect business model .
The Group may have intention to sell home equity loans under securitisation, in this case the derecognition requirements should be applied .
The derecognition test is performed in 2 steps:
1) Pass-through arrangement . All the following conditions have to be met to conclude that pass-through arrangements meet the criteria:
• An entity has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients, unless it collects equivalent amounts from the original asset .
Short-term advances by the entity to the eventual recipients with the right of full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest from the
amounts eventually payable to the eventual recipients at market rates do not violate this condition .
• An entity is prohibited by the transfer contract’s terms from selling or pledging the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients
for the obligation to pay them cash flows.
Investments in securities and repurchase receivables FV measurement. As of 31 December 2022 due to the absence of an active market
of foreign currency OFZs and сorporate eurobonds, the fair value of these securities measured at FVOCI and FVTPL, for which market quotes were
unavailable, was calculated by discounting cash flows, taking into account the transfer of expected coupons to receive in the flow. All coupons with
maturity before 30 June 2025 were postponed to this date, as a basic forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia for maintaining
sanctions and tightening them against Russia until 2025 . The discount rate is calculated on the basis of foreign exchange quotes on the OTC market,
adjusted for the credit spread. These investments were reclassified from level 1 to level 3. Refer to Note 36.
Tax legislation. Russian and Cypriot tax, currency and customs legislation are subject to varying interpretations . Refer to Note 32 .

Segment Analysis
Operating segments are components that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results are reg-
ularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and for which discrete financial information is available. The CODM is the person or
group of persons who allocates resources and assesses the performance for the Group . The functions of CODM are performed by the Management
of the Bank and the Management of the Insurance Company .
Description of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenue
As a result of a rapid change in macroeconomic environment, the management of the Group adopted new eco-system review approach of its busi-
ness. Thus the management highlights 4 segments: consumer financial services, retail daily and lifestyle transaction services, SME financial ser-
vices and other investments . Each segment comprises certain services and business lines, thanks to the interaction of which synergy is achieved
and the efficiency of the Group's business as a whole is ensured. This impacted overall composition of the comparative information.
Description of 4 main business segments:
Consumer financial services - representing risk-taking services provided to individuals, including retail loans such as credit cards, cash loans,
consumer loans, car loans, secured loans, as well as other associated services .
Retail daily and lifestyle transaction services - representing transactional financial and daily lifestyle services provided to retail customers, includ-
ing mobile app experience, current accounts, debit cards, savings and investments services, loyalty programs, co-branded offers, telecommu-
nications and also daily lifestyle and travel services to individuals . Assets of the segment are represented by placements of the funds attracted in
customer funds and investments in securities, treasury transactions, other financial and non-financial assets.
SME financial services - representing financial services provided to SME customers and merchants. It includes customer current accounts,
deposits, transactional and software services and loans to individual entrepreneurs and small to medium businesses . It also includes providing
merchants and businesses the ability to process and acquire payments using online and offline channels. Assets of the segment are represented by
placements of the funds attracted from customers into investments in securities, treasury transactions, other financial and non-financial assets.
Other investments - representing investments in companies and equity instruments that fall outside of the scope of the other segments . The CODM
made a decision to allocate such investments into a separate business segment .
The Group’s principal activities are mainly undertaken within the Russian Federation . Given the retail nature of business of the segments, the Group
does not have any significant revenue stream from any single customer.
• An entity has an obligation to remit any cash flows that it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay
Factors that management used to identify the reportable segments
(up to 3 months) .
2) Risk-reward assessment. If a transfer meets the pass-through requirements the transferor still needs to assess whether it has transferred suffi-
cient risks and rewards associated with the asset to achieve derecognition . If, as a result of the assessment, majority of risks and associated rewards
are deemed to be transferred, the asset is derecognized. Otherwise the sale is accounted for as a finance deal.
Investments in securities and repurchase receivables classification. As a result of attaining systemically important status, management
made a decision to create a portfolio of investments into debt securities managed under a “hold to collect” business model . These securities were
accounted for amortised cost, as opposed to fair value, as they will be held until full maturity and will not be susceptible to market price fluctuations.
The Group’s segments are strategic business units that focus on different services to the customers of the Group. Their performance is analysed
separately by the CODM and they are managed separately because each business unit requires different marketing strategies and represents
different types of businesses.
Measurement of operating segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities
The CODM reviews financial information prepared based on International financial reporting standards adjusted to meet the requirements of inter-
nal reporting. The CODM evaluates performance of each segment based on profit before tax.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2022 and 2021 also represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit
risk on these assets . Refer to Note 30 for the description of the Group’s credit risk grading system .
For the purpose of ECL measurement cash and cash equivalents balances are included in Stage 1 . The ECL for these balances represents
an immaterial amount, therefore the Group did not recognise any credit loss allowance for cash and cash equivalents . Except for reverse
sale and repurchase agreements, amounts of cash and cash equivalents are not collateralised . As at 31 December 2022 the fair value of
collateral under reverse sale and repurchase agreements was RR 254,683 million (31 December 2021: RR 154,255 million) . There is no
material impact of collateral on credit loss allowance for cash and cash equivalents .
Refer to Note 36 for the disclosure of the fair value of cash and cash equivalents . ECL measurement approach, interest rate, maturity and
geographical risk concentration analysis of cash and cash equivalents are disclosed in Note 30 .

The table below discloses the credit quality of due from banks balances based on credit risk grades:
On 1 January 2022 the Group reclassified government bonds amounted to RR 122,805 million, previously accounted for under “Hold to collect
and sell” business model, into “‘Hold to collect” business model and hence accounted for at AC, resulting in reversal of RR 14,867 million of
negative revaluation reserve recognised through other comprehensive income. The Group managed the reclassified assets under “Hold to
collect” business model and made no sale of these government bonds throughout 2021. The effect of reclassifications was as follows:

or custom, to sell or repledge . As at 31 December 2022 repurchase receivables were nil . As at 31 December 2021 the sale and repurchase
agreements were short-term and matured in January 2022 .

• new originated or purchased category represents the gross carrying amounts and the related ECL of purchased loans and loans issued
The credit loss allowance for loans and advances to customers recognised in the period is impacted by a variety of factors . The main move-
ments in the tables presented below are described as follows:
during the reporting period (and withdrawals of limits of new credit card borrowers) as at the end of the reporting period or as at the date
of transfer of loan out of Stage 1 (whichever date is earlier);
• transfers between Stage 1, 2 and 3 due to balances experiencing significant increases (or decreases) of credit risk or becoming credit-
impaired in the period, and the consequent "step up" (or “step down”) between 12-month and lifetime ECL. Transfers present the amount
of credit loss allowance charged or recovered at the moment of transfer of a loan among the respective stages;
• movements other than transfers and new originated or purchased loans category represent all other movements of ECL in particular
related to changes in gross carrying amounts (including drawdowns, repayments, and accrued interest), as well as updates of inputs to
ECL model in the period;
• write-offs of allowances are related to assets that were written-off during the period;
• unwinding of discount (for Stage 3) category represents adjustment to credit loss allowance and gross carrying amount for Stage 3
loans to increase it to discounted amount of the expected cash shortfalls to the reporting date using the effective interest rate;
• modification of original cash flows without derecognition represents adjustment to credit loss allowance and gross carrying amount of
Stage 3 loans caused by the modification of terms of those loans which is not substantial .
Changes to ECL measurement model assumptions and estimates for 2022 represent an increase in the amount of the provision as a result of
the negative impact of the economic environment . Refer to Notes 2 and 3 for more information .

In 2021 the Group implemented a new behavioural model for calculating probabilities of default for retail annuity loans (cash loans, secured
loans, POS loans and car loans) . Refer to Note 3 for details .
The credit loss allowance charge during the year ended 31 December 2022 presented in the tables above differs from the amount presented
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year due to RR 5,660 million (2021: RR 4,510 million)
recovery of amounts previously written-off as uncollectible, due to RR 3,902 million (2021: RR 3,991 million) recovery from the purchased
loans in excess of their gross carrying amount, and due to RR 3,196 million charge of ECL for credit related commitments (2021: RR 203
million recovery of ECL for credit related commitments) .
The amount of the recovery received from written-off loans and purchased loans during the year was credited directly to the credit loss
allowance line in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

31 DECEMBER 2022
Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
8 Loans and Advances to Customers (Continued)
Uncollectible assets are partly written-off against the related credit loss allowance usually after one year since they become overdue. The
amount of uncollectible part of loan is estimated on a loan portfolio basis taking into account defaulted loans recovery statistics . The Group
writes-off financial assets that are mostly still subject to enforcement activity, however, there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
The contractual amount outstanding of loans and advances to customers which were written off during the reporting period ended 31 De-
cember 2022 and are still subject to enforcement activity is equal to RR 15,029 million (2021: RR 16,519 million) .
The amount of the ECL for credit related commitments is accounted separately from ECL for credit card loans and is included in other finan-
cial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
During the year ended 31 December 2022 the Group sold credit-impaired loans to third parties (external debt collection agencies) by the
means of transferring all subsequest risks and rewards without recource to the buyer, which resulted into derecognition of gross amount of
RR 2,020 million (2021: RR 3,497 million) and credit loss allowance of RR 1,925 million (2021: RR 3,150 million). The difference between the
carrying amount of these loans and the consideration received was recognised as losses in the amount of RR 41 million within credit loss
allowance for loans and advances to customers and credit related commitments for the year ended 31 December 2022 (2021: losses in the
amount of RR 80 million) .
Presented below is an analysis of issued, activated and utilised cards based on their credit card limits as at the end of the reporting period:

The following table contains an analysis of the credit risk exposure of loans and advances to customers measured at AC and for which an
ECL allowance is recognised . The carrying amount of loans and advances to customers below represents the Group's maximum exposure to
credit risk on these loans .
In March 2022 the Group changed the approach of risk grades and the corresponding range of probabilities of default for measuring credit
risk and grading credit card loans, as well as credit related commitments:
• Excellent – non-overdue with PD < 5%;
• Good – non-overdue with PD in the range of or equal to 5% and less than 25%;
• Monitor – PD more or equal to 25%, or 1-30 days overdue .
PD is calculated as behavioral PD or application PD if behavioral PD is not available .
This triggered changes in the analysis of the credit risk exposure to be presented . Disclosures for comparative periods were amended accordingly .
Loans and advances to customers at 31 December 2022 are disclosed as follows:

Stage 3 includes restructured loans that are less than 90 days overdue which are not considered as NPL according to the Group’s credit risk
grading master scale . Refer to Note 30 for the description of credit risk grading system used by the Group .
Loans in courts are included in Stage 3 and are loans to delinquent borrowers, against which the Group has filed claims to courts in order to
recover outstanding balances . As at 31 December 2022 the gross carrying amount of the loans in courts was RR 52,649 million (2021:
RR 39,066 million) .

In the disclosure above the difference between collateralised gross carrying amounts and total gross carrying amount of the respective
loans represents unsecured disclosures of RR 26,059 million (31 December 2021: RR 24,630 million) . Unsecured loans arise as a result
of the fact that the borrowers have two months to register their cars as collateral for car loans as well as the application of a conservative
discount in determining the carrying value of collateral for secured and car loans applied .
The extent to which collateral and other credit enhancements mitigate credit risk for financial assets carried at amortised cost that are credit
impaired, is presented by disclosing collateral values separately for (i) those assets where collateral and other credit enhancements are
equal to or exceed carrying value of the asset (“over-collateralised assets”) and (ii) those assets where collateral and other credit enhance-
ments are less than the carrying value of the asset (“under-collateralised assets”) .

Brokerage receivables represent placements under reverse sale and repurchase agreements made by the Bank with central counterpar-
ty to provide customers of the Bank who have brokerage accounts with the Bank with the possibility to acquire securities in case those
customers have insufficient own funds to acquire those securities. These balances are fully collateralized by highly liquid securities and
have minimal credit risk . As at 31 December 2022 the fair value of collateral of brokerage receivables was RR 27,250 million (31 December
2021: RR 46,721 million) . For the purpose of ECL measurement brokerage receivables are included in Stage 1 . The ECL for these balances
represents an immaterial amount, therefore the Group did not recognise any credit loss allowance for brokerage receivables .
Brokerage payables represent funds attracted under sale and repurchase agreements made by the Bank with central counterparty to pro-
vide customers of the Bank who have brokerage accounts with the Bank with the possibility to borrow securities and make a short sale . As at
31 December 2022 the fair value of collateral of brokerage payables was RR 9,483 million (31 December 2021: RR 11,123 million) .

Differences between IFRS and taxation regulations in Russia and other countries give rise to temporary differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. As all of the Group’s temporary differences arise in
Russia, the tax effect of the movements in these temporary differences is detailed below and is recorded at the rate of 20% (2021: 20%).
In the context of the Group’s current structure and Russian tax legislation, tax losses and current tax assets of different group companies
may not be offset against current tax liabilities and taxable profits of other group companies and, accordingly, taxes may accrue even where
there is a consolidated tax loss .
Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when they relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
30 Financial and Insurance Risk Management
The risk management function within the Group is carried out with respect to financial risks, operational risks and legal risks by the manage-
ment of the Bank and Insurance Company . Financial risk comprises market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The primary function of financial risk management is to establish risk limits and to ensure that any expo-
sure to risk stays within these limits . The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure the proper functioning of
internal policies and procedures in order to minimize operational and legal risks .
Credit risk. The Group exposes itself to credit risk, which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the
other party by failing to meet an obligation . Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the Group’s lending and other transactions with coun-
terparties giving rise to financial assets. The Group grants retail loans and SME loans to customers across all regions of Russia, therefore its
credit risk is broadly diversified.
The management of the Group takes special measures to mitigate growing credit risk such as decreasing of credit limits for unreliable cli-
ents, diversifying of modes of work with overdue borrowers, toughening of scoring for the new borrowers etc., giving rise to financial assets
and off-balance sheet credit-related commitments.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is reflected in the carrying amounts of financial assets in the consolidated statement of finan-
cial position. For financial guarantees issued, commitments to extend credit, undrawn credit lines, the maximum exposure to credit risk is
the amount of the commitment (Note 32) .
The Bank has a credit committee, which establishes general principles for lending to individual borrowers . According to these principles,
the minimum requirements for potential customers are listed below:
• Citizenship of the Russian Federation;
• Age from 18 to 70 y .o ., but not older than 70 y .o . at the time of loan repayment;
• Availability of a cell-phone;
• Permanent employment;
• Permanent income .
Сredit cards are issued with a limit of up to RR 700 thousand, with monthly debt repayment.
For cash loans, minimum requirements are listed below:
• The requested loan term is from 3 to 36 months;
• Cash loan volume does not exceed RR 5 million .
For POS loans minimum requirements are listed below:
• The requested loan amount should exceed RR 3 thousand;
• The requested loan term is from 3 to 36 months;
• The amount of one POS loan does not exceed RR 500 thousand .
For secured loans minimum requirements are listed below:
• The requested loan secured with a car amount does not exceed RR 7 million, loan term is from 3 months to 5 years . The requirement
for the car is in good condition of driving with an age not more than 15 years, availability of a vehicle registration certificate and vehicle
passport;
• The requested loan secured with a real estate amount does not exceed RR 15 million, loan term is from 3 months to 15 years . The
requirement for the real estate is an apartment in the apartment building within the Russian Federation, which is free from any encum-
brances .
For car loans minimum requirements are listed below:
• The requested loan term is from 1 to 5 years;
• Car loan volume does not exceed RR 3 million;
• The requirement for the car is with an age not more than 18 years and availability of vehicle passport .
For loans to SME minimum requirements are listed below:
• Working capital loan: loan volumes up to RR 10 million and loan term to 6 months;
• Credit line under government contract: loan volumes up to RR 10 million, loan term - until the end of the contract, maximum 12 months;
• Gap financing: a short-term overdrafts to close cash gaps up to RR 10 million, loan term up to 45 days;
• Investment credit line secured by real estate: loan volumes up to RR 15 million and loan term to 5 years . The requirement for the real
estate is an apartment in the apartment building within the Russian Federation, which is free from any encumbrances;
• For SME with a turnover from RR 120 million per year: loan volumes up to RR 60 million and loan term to 5 years .
A credit decision process includes:
• Validation of the application data . The system checks the validity of the data provided (addresses, telephone numbers, age, if the appli-
cant already uses any other products of the Bank);
• Phone verification of the application information about the potential customer, his/her employment, social and property status, etc. This
step may be omitted for POS loans;
• Requesting of the previous credit history of the applicant from the three largest credit bureaus in Russia – Equifax, UCB (United Credit
Bureau) and NBCH (National Bureau of Credit Histories);
• Based on all available information, the credit score of the applicant is calculated and a final decision is made about the approval of the
credit product;
• The approved loan amount, loan term and tariff plan are calculated depending on the score and declared income.
Management of the Group manages the credit risk on unused limits on credit cards in the following way:
a)
if the credit card loan is overdue for more than 7 days, its account will be blocked till repayment;
b)
if the borrower had lost his/her source of income, then borrower account might be blocked till verification of his/her new employment;
if borrower’s loan debt burden in other banks is substantially bigger than at the time of loan origination or the credit quality of the
c)
borrower decreases significantly then the borrower’s limit for credit might be reduced accordingly.
When customers experience serious difficulties with their current debt servicing, they may be offered loan restructuring. In this case the
Bank stops accrual of interest, commissions and fines and the debt amount is restructured according to a fixed instalment payment plan
with not more than 36 equal monthly payments . Another way of working with overdue loans is initiation of the state court process . This
collection option statistically gives greater recovery than the sale of credit-impaired loans .
Defaulted clients that could be subject to the court process are chosen by the Bank’s Collection Department considering the following
criteria:
a)
the client’s account balance was fixed, accrual of interest stopped;
b)
information about the client is considered to be up to date;
c)
the client denied restructuring program;
d)
term of limitation of court actions has not expired;
e)
court process is economically justified.

When loans become unrecoverable or not economically viable to pursue further collection efforts, the Collection Department may decide to
sell these loans to a debt collection agency . The Collection Department considers the following criteria for credit-impaired loans qualifying
for sale to external debt collection agencies:
a)
loans remain unpaid after all collection procedures were performed (no payment during last 4-6 months);
b)
the debtor cannot be either reached or found for the previous 4 months;
c)
the debtor has no assets and there is no expectation he/she will have any in the future;
d)
the debtor has died and there is no known estate or guarantor;
e)
it is determined that it is not cost effective to continue collection efforts.
Credit risk grading system. In 2022 for measuring credit risk and grading financial instruments except for loans and advances to
customers by the level of credit risk, the Group applies risk grades estimated by Russian authorized credit rating agency ACRA in case these
financial instruments have risk grades estimated by national rating agencies (using ACRA ratings and in case of their absence – Expert RA or
National RA ratings adjusting them to ACRA’s categories using a reconciliation table) .
In 2021 for measuring credit risk and grading financial instruments except for loans and advances to customers by the level of credit risk,
the Group applies risk grades estimated by external international rating agencies in case these financial instruments have risk grades
estimated by external international rating agencies (using Fitch ratings and in case of their absence - Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s ratings
adjusting them to Fitch’s categories using a reconciliation table) .
The Group applies risk grades and the corresponding range of probabilities of default (PD):
Master scale credit risk grade
Excellent
Good
Monitor
Sub-standard
Doubtful
Corresponding interval
PD < 0 .1%
with PD range of or equal to 0 .1% and less than 2 .5%
PD in the range of or equal to 2 .5% and less 12 .5%
PD in the range of or equal to 12 .5% and less 18 .5%
PD in the range of or equal to 18 .5% and less 30%
Each master scale credit risk grade is assigned a specific degree of creditworthiness:
• Excellent – high credit quality with lowest or very low expected credit risk;
• Good – good credit quality with currently low expected credit risk;
• Monitor – adequate credit quality with a moderate credit risk;
• Sub-standard – moderate credit quality with a satisfactory credit risk;
• Doubtful – facilities that require closer monitoring and remedial management; and
For measuring credit risk and grading loans and advances to customers, credit related commitments and those financial instruments which
do not have risk grades estimated by external international rating agencies, the Group applies risk grades and the corresponding range of
probabilities of default (PD):

For credit cards: non-overdue with PD < 5%;
for other types of loans: non-overdue for the last 12 months with PD < 5% or with early repayments
For credit cards: non-overdue with PD in the range of or equal to 5% and less than 25%;
for other types of loans: all other non-overdue loans
For credit cards: PD more or equal to 25%, or 1-30 days overdue;
for other types of loans: 1-30 days overdue
31-90 days overdue or restructured loans 0-90 days overdue
90+ days overdue
The condition of early repayments is satisfied, as described in the table above, if cumulative amount of early repayments exceed 5% of the
gross carrying amount at the date of recognition of the loan
Each master scale credit risk grade is assigned a specific degree of creditworthiness:
• Excellent – strong credit quality with minimum expected credit risk;
• Good – adequate credit quality with low expected credit risk;
• Monitor – adequate credit quality with a moderate credit risk and credit cards loans before the first due date;
• Sub-standard – low credit quality with a substantial credit risk, includes restructured loans that are less than 90 days overdue;
• NPL – non-performing loans, credit-impaired loans more than 90 days overdue .
The rating models are regularly reviewed by the Credit Risk Department, backtested on actual default data and updated if necessary . Despite
the method used, the Group regularly validates the accuracy of ratings estimates and appraises the predictive power of the models .
Expected credit loss (ECL) measurement – definitions and description of estimation techniques. ECL is a probability-weight-
ed estimate of the present value of future cash shortfalls (i .e ., the weighted average of credit losses, with the respective risks of default
occurring in a given time period used as weights) . ECL measurement is based on the following components used by the Group:
Default occurs when a financial asset is 90 days past due or less than 90 days overdue but with the final statement issued, i.e. the limit is
closed, the balance is fixed, interest and commissions are no longer accrued.
Probability of Default (PD) – an estimate of the likelihood of default to occur over a given time period .
Exposure at Default (EAD) – an estimate of exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in exposure after the
reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, and expected drawdowns on committed facilities .
Loss Given Default (LGD) – an estimate of the loss arising on default as a percentage of the EAD. It is based on the difference between
the contractual cash flows due and those that the Group would expect to receive.
Discount Rate – a rate to discount an expected loss to its present value at the reporting date. The discount rate represents the effective
interest rate (EIR) for the financial instrument or an approximation thereof.
Lifetime period – the maximum period over which ECL should be measured . For POS loans lifetime period is equal to 24 months, cash
loans to 36 months, secured loans to 72 months, car loans to 48 months . For revolving facilities, it is based on statistics of the average
period between the moment of the loan falling into the Stage 2 until the write-off or attrition. Currently the Group estimates that this period
equals to 4 years, though it is subject to periodical reassessment .
Lifetime ECL – losses that result from all possible default events over the remaining lifetime period of the financial instrument.
12-month ECL – the portion of lifetime ECLs that represent the ECLs resulting from default events on a financial instrument that are possi-
ble within 12 months after the reporting date that are limited by the remaining contractual life of the financial instrument.
Forward looking information – the information that includes the key macroeconomic variables impacting credit risk and expected credit
losses for each portfolio segment . A pervasive concept in measuring ECL in accordance with IFRS 9 is that it should consider forward-look-
ing information .

Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) – a coefficient that shows that the probability of conversion of an off-balance sheet amount to exposure
on the consolidated statement of financial position within a defined period. It can be calculated for a 12-month or lifetime period. Based on
the analysis performed, the Group considers that 12-month and lifetime CCFs are the same .
Purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets – financial assets that are credit-impaired upon initial recognition.
ECL for POCI financial assets is always measured on a lifetime basis (Stage 3), so at the reporting date, the Group only recognises the cumu-
lative changes in lifetime expected credit losses .
The Group carries out two separate approaches for ECL measurement:
• for loans and advances to customers: assessment on a portfolio basis: internal ratings are estimated on an individual basis but the same
credit risk parameters (e .g . PD, LGD) are applied during the process of ECL calculations for the same credit risk ratings and homogeneous
segments of the loan portfolio;
Default and credit-impaired assets – assets for which a default event has occurred .
• for all other financial assets except FVTPL: assessment based on external ratings.
The default definition stated above should be applied to all types of financial assets of the Group.
An instrument is considered to no longer be in default (i .e . to have “cured”) when it no longer meets any of the default criteria .
Significant increase in credit risk (SICR) - the SICR assessment is performed on an individual basis for all financial assets by monitor-
ing the triggers stated below . The criteria used to identify SICR are monitored and reviewed periodically for appropriateness by the Group’s
Risk Management Department .
The Group considers a financial instrument to have experienced a SICR when one or more of the following quantitative, qualitative or back-
stop criteria have been met .
For interbank operations, bonds issued by banks and bonds issued by corporates and sovereigns:
• 30 days past due;
• award of risk grade “Doubtful”;
• decrease of assigned external rating by 2 notches, which corresponds to an approximate increase of PD by 2 .5 times .
For credit card loans:
• 30 days past due; or
• threshold defined on an individual basis using existing scoring models: increase of the 12-month PD compared to 12-month PD esti-
mated 18 months ago or as of the date of initial recognition (if it occurred less than 18 months ago) by 3 times and PD reaching 50% and
above . 18-month period was determined as the weighted average period of the most recent date where the credit limit was revised by
at least 25%, which is considered to be a substantial revision .
For all other loans:
• 30 days past due; or
• if number of overdue payments for the last 6 due dates exceeds 2, or if PD exceeds 50% .
If the SICR criteria are no longer met, the instrument will be transferred back to Stage 1 .
General principle of techniques applied
For non-POCI financial assets, ECLs are generally measured based on the risk of default over one of two different time periods, depending
on whether or not the credit risk of the borrower has increased significantly since initial recognition.
This approach can be summarized in a three-stage model for ECL measurement:
• Stage 1 – a financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition and its credit risk has not increased significantly since
initial recognition, the loss allowance is based on 12-month ECLs;
• Stage 2 – if since the date, which was assumed to be the date of initial recognition is identified as a SICR, the financial instrument is
moved to Stage 2 but is not yet deemed to be credit-impaired, the loss allowance is based on lifetime ECLs;
• Stage 3 – if the financial instrument is credit-impaired or restructured, the financial instrument is then moved to Stage 3 and the loss
allowance is based on lifetime ECLs .
The Group performs an assessment on a portfolio basis for the retail loans . This approach incorporates aggregating the portfolio into homo-
geneous segments based on borrower-specific information, such as delinquency, the historical data on losses and other.
Principles of assessment on portfolio basis – to assess the staging of exposure and to measure a loss allowance on a collective basis,
the Group combines its exposures into segments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, such as that exposures to risk within a
group are homogeneous .
Examples of shared characteristics include type of customer, product type, credit risk rating, date of initial recognition, overdue level and
repayment statistics .
The different segments reflect differences in PD. The appropriateness of groupings is monitored and reviewed on a periodic basis by the
Risk Management Department .
In general, ECL is the multiplication of the following credit risk parameters: EAD, PD and LGD (definitions of the parameters are provided
above) . The general approach used for ECL calculation is stated below .
where:
– probability of default in moment
(can’t be higher than 100%);
– exposure at default in moment
;
– loss given default in moment
;
– adjustment to PD and LGD depending on macroeconomic factors;
– number of months in the loan’s lifetime;
– effective interest rate;
– remaining amount of payments .
The ECL is determined by predicting credit risk parameters (EAD, PD and LGD) for each future month during the lifetime period for each
exposure or segment. These three components are multiplied together. This effectively calculates an ECL for each future month, which is
then discounted back to the reporting date and summed up. The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is the effective interest rate or an
approximation thereof .
The EADs are determined based on the expected payment profile, on an individual basis. For revolving products, the EAD is predicted by
taking the current withdrawn balance and adding a “credit conversion factor” that accounts for the expected drawdown of the remaining
limit of utilised loans by the time of default. These assumptions vary by product type, current limit utilisation and other borrower-specific
behavioural characteristics . For other products EAD is equal to current exposure as there is no credit limit to utilize .

Two types of PDs are used for calculating ECLs: 12-month and lifetime PD:
• 12-month PDs – the estimated probability of a default occurring within the next 12 months . This parameter is used to calculate 12-month
ECLs. An assessment of a 12-month PD is based on the latest available historic default data using borrower-specific behavioural charac-
teristics and adjusted for forward-looking information when appropriate. Based on borrower-specific PDs the exposures are allocated
to segments to which average PD for the segment is applied .
• Lifetime PDs – the estimated probability of a default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. This parameter is used
to calculate lifetime ECLs for Stage 2 and Stage 3 exposures . An assessment of a lifetime PD is based on the latest available historic de-
fault data using product specific lifetime periods defined above. To calculate Lifetime PD, the Group developed lifetime PD curves based
on the 12-month PD data .
LGD represents the Group's expectation of the extent of loss on a defaulted exposure . For credit cards and POS loans LGDs are calculated on portfolio
basis based on recovery statistics of defaulted loans over the period of 48 months, for cash loans - 30 months, and for loans to SME - 12 months . For
secured loans and car loans and LGDs are calculated using current market data in relation to the expected recoveries .
ECL measurement for loan commitments . The ECL measurement for these instruments includes the same steps as described above for on-balance
sheet exposures and differs with respect to EAD calculation. The EAD is a product of credit conversion factor (“CCF”) and amount of the commitment.
CCF for undrawn credit limits of credit cards and overdrafts is defined based on statistical analysis of exposures at default.
LGD represents the Group's expectation of the extent of loss on a defaulted exposure . For credit card loans, cash loans and POS loans LGDs are cal-
culated on portfolio basis based on recovery statistics of defaulted loans over the period of 24 or 36 months . For secured loans, car loans and loans to
SME LGDs are calculated using current market data in relation to the expected recoveries .
ECL measurement for loan commitments. The ECL measurement for these instruments includes the same steps as described above for
on-balance sheet exposures and differs with respect to EAD calculation. The EAD is a product of credit conversion factor (“CCF”) and amount of the
commitment. CCF for undrawn credit limits of credit cards and overdrafts is defined based on statistical analysis of exposures at default.
Principles of assessment based on external ratings – the principles of ECL calculations based on external ratings are the same as for their
assessment on a portfolio basis . Credit risk parameters (PD and LGD) are taken from the default and recovery statistics published by national rating
agencies - ACRA and in case of rating’s absence – Expert RA or National RA (2021: by international rating agencies - Fitch and in case of rating’s
absence - Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s) .
Forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL models. The calculation of ECLs incorporates forward-looking information . In 2021
the Group has performed historical analysis and identified the key economic variables impacting credit risk and ECLs for each portfolio. The list of
variables:
• Russian stock market index MOEX;
• Moscow Prime Offered Rate;
• Debt load of Russian population based on statistics from bureaus of credit history .
The impact of these economic variables on the ECL has been determined by performing statistical regression analysis in order to under-
stand the way how changes in these variables historically impacted default rates. Three different scenarios are used: base, optimistic
and pessimistic . As at 31 December 2021 the scenarios are weighted accordingly with base scenario having the 92 .7% weight, optimistic
scenario having the 0 .1% weight and pessimistic scenario having the 7 .2% weight .
In 2022, given the high degree of uncertainty associated with the current geopolitical situation, the model with macro scenarios became in-
applicable . The Group assessed the impact of the economic environment on the applicable estimates used in calculating ECLs . In determin-
ing the amount of impairment, the Group uses forward looking information based on forecasts and data received in the previous economic
crisis, which results in a direct adjustment to the probability of default . As with any forecast, however, the projections and likelihoods of their
occurrence are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different from those
projected .
Backtesting – the Group regularly reviews its methodology and assumptions to reduce any difference between the estimates and the
actual loss of credit . Such backtesting is performed on a quarterly basis .
The results of backtesting the ECL measurement methodology are communicated to Group Management and further steps for refining
models and assumptions are defined after discussions between authorised persons.
Market risk. The Group takes on exposure to market risks . Market risks of the Group arise from open positions in (a) currency and (b) inter-
est rate, both of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. The priority goal of market risk management is to maintain
the risks assumed by the Group at a level determined by the Group in accordance with its own strategic objectives . Management sets limits
on the value of risk that may be accepted, which is monitored on a daily basis . However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses
outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements.
Currency risk. In respect of currency risk, the management sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight
and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily .
The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at the end of the year:

The exposure was calculated only for monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective
entity of the Group .
Interest rate risk. The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial
position and cash flows. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce or create losses in the event that unex-
pected movements arise . Management monitors on a daily basis and sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate repricing that may
be undertaken .
The Group is exposed to prepayment risk through providing fixed rate loans, which give the borrower the right to repay the loans early. The
Group’s current year profit and equity at the end of the current reporting period would not have been significantly impacted by changes in
prepayment rates because such loans are carried at amortised cost and the prepayment right is at or close to the amortised cost of the loans
and advances to customers (2021: no material impact) .

The Group has no significant risk associated with variable interest rates on loans and advances provided to customers or loans received.
The aim of interest rate risk management is to maintain the risks assumed by the Group within the limits determined by the Group in
accordance with its own strategic objectives. The interest rate risk is managed by setting caps and floors in relation to interest rates on
financial assets and liabilities depending on their types and maturities and balancing the assets and liabilities which are sensitive
to changes in interest rates .
The assessment of the magnitude of interest rate risk is carried out by performing a sensitivity analysis which implies assessment of
impact on net interest income of a shift in interest rates by 200 basis points . At 31 December 2022, if interest rates at that date had been
200 basis points lower/higher (31 December 2021: 200 basis points), with all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have
been RR 3,205 million (31 December 2021: RR 3,040 million) lower/higher, equity would have been RR 3,205 million (31 December 2021:
RR 3,040 million) lower/higher .
The Group monitors interest rates for its financial instruments. The table below summarizes interest rates for the years 2022 and 2021
based on reports reviewed by key management personnel . For securities, the interest rates represent yields to maturity based on market
quotations at the reporting date:

Assets, liabilities and credit related commitments have been based on the country in which the counterparty is located . Cash on hand has been
allocated based on the country in which they are physically held. Balances with Russian counterparties actually outstanding to/from offshore com-
panies of these Russian counterparties, are allocated to the caption “Russia” .
Other risk concentrations. Management monitors and discloses concentrations of credit risk by obtaining reports listing exposures to
borrowers with aggregated loan balances in excess of 10% of net assets. The Group did not have any such significant risk concentrations at
31 December 2022 and 2021 .
Liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group
is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from unused limits on issued credit cards, retail deposits from customers, current accounts
and due to banks . The Group does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that only a certain level of calls will
take place and it can be predicted with a high level of certainty . Liquidity risk is managed by the Financial Committee of the Bank . The Group seeks
to maintain a stable funding base primarily consisting of amounts due to institutional investors, corporate and retail customer deposits and debt
securities. The Group keeps all available cash in diversified portfolios of liquid instruments such as a correspondent account with CBRF and
overnight placements in high-rated commercial banks, in order to be able to respond quickly and smoothly to unforeseen liquidity requirements .
The available cash at all times exceeds all accrued financing costs falling due within half a year plus two months of regular operating costs.

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
30 Financial and Insurance Risk Management (Continued)
The maturity analysis of financial liabilities at 31 December 2021 is as follows:
The liquidity management of the Group requires consideration of the level of liquid assets necessary to settle obligations as they fall due;
maintaining access to a range of funding sources; maintaining funding contingency plans; and monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios
against regulatory requirements .
The liquidity analysis takes into account the covenant requirements and ability of the Group to waive any potential breaches within the grace
period . The Bank calculates liquidity ratios on a daily basis in accordance with the requirements of the CBRF . The Bank has complied with
these ratios throughout 2022 and 2021. The CFO receives information about the liquidity profile of the financial assets and liabilities. This
includes daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly updates on the level of credit card transactions and repayments, statistics on credit card issu-
ance and credit card limit utilisation, inflow and outflow of retail deposits, changes in the investment securities portfolio, level of expected
outflows such as operating costs and financing activities. The CFO then ensures the availability of an adequate portfolio of short-term liquid
assets, made up of an amount on the correspondent account with the CBRF and overnight deposits with banks, to ensure that sufficient
liquidity is maintained within the Group as a whole . Regular liquidity stress testing under a variety of scenarios covering both normal and
more severe market conditions and credit card portfolio behaviour is reviewed by the CFO .
The table below shows liabilities at 31 December 2022 by their remaining contractual maturity . The amounts of liabilities disclosed in the
maturity table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and gross loan commitments. Such undiscounted cash flows differ from the
amount included in the consolidated statement of financial position because the consolidated statement of financial position amount is
based on discounted cash flows. When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by reference to the conditions
existing at the reporting date . Foreign currency payments are translated using the spot exchange rate at the end of the reporting period .

Financial derivatives receivable and payable are disclosed in the Note 35 . The tables above present only the gross payables .
Insurance provisions are disclosed in the table above based on their expected maturities .
Customer accounts are classified in the above analysis based on contractual maturities. However, in accordance with the Russian Civil
Code, individuals have a right to withdraw their deposits prior to maturity if they forfeit their right to accrued interest .
The Group takes on exposure to liquidity risk, which is the risk of cash surplus in case of assets-liabilities cash-flow profile mismatch. Expo-
sure to liquidity risk arises as a result of the Group’s borrowing and operational activities that assume cash payment obligations . The Group
uses daily, short-term and long-term reporting, stress-testing and forecasting practices to monitor and prevent potential liquidity problems .
The Group is actively increasing the number of counterparties for interbank lending, looks for new wholesale markets, improves and creates
additional debit and credit products to have more instruments over cash-flow management. The recent economic situation has resulted in
increased liquidity risk .
In response the management of the Group preserves cash safety cushions for possible cash outflows and has planned Group’s liquidity
position for the next year to ensure it can cover all upcoming payment obligations .

Provision for unearned premiums in the amount of RR 7,281 million is not included in the insurance provisions stated above . Refer to Note 18 .
As at 31 December 2022 all the investments in debt securities are classified within demand and less than one month as they can easily be sold
through REPO operations and provide immediate liquidity to the Group. All current accounts of individuals are classified using outflow curve
(2021: same) .
The allocation of deposits of individuals considers the statistics of autoprolongations and top-ups of longer deposits with the funds from short-
er deposits after their expiration in case when the customers have more than one active deposit . The matching and/or controlled mismatching
of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the management of the Group . It is unusual for banks ever to be
completely matched since business transacted is often of an uncertain term and of different types.

31 DECEMBER 2022
Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
30 Financial and Insurance Risk Management (Continued)
Effect of changes in the key assumptions as at 31 December 2022:
An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability but can also increase the risk of losses. The maturities of assets and liabilities and
the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest-bearing liabilities as they mature, are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the
Group and its exposure to changes in interest and exchange rates .
Management believes that in spite of a substantial portion of customer accounts being on demand, diversification of these deposits by

The main steps in the insurance risk management process include:
• Underwriting and regulation of tariff policy;
• Efficiency of the loss settlement process;
• Diversification of the insurance portfolio.
Tariff policy. The process of underwriting and regulation of the tariff policy includes the formation of tariffs for certain areas of activity
based on the analysis of results for previous periods, existing market conditions and the Insurance Company's strategy .
The insurance tariff is set on the basis of the analysis of the expected loss ratio based on Group’s insurance portfolio and similar products
on the market, the commission ratio based on the analysis of product profitability and commission rates for similar products on the market,
and the analysis of the average market rate. When developing tariffs, factors such as expected inflation and changes in the legislation
of the Russian Federation are also taken into account .
The Insurance Company monitors the correctness of the calculation of the insurance premium under the insurance contract by analysing,
on a regular basis, the deviations of the actual received premiums from the estimated premiums .
Loss settlement process. In accordance with the insurance contract, the policyholder is obliged to notify the insurance company
of a loss within a certain period of time . Losses are settled by specialized units, other than selling business units . The insurance claims will
be paid only after receiving all the necessary documents confirming the fact of the insured event. Also, if necessary, economic security
department and legal department are involved in checking documents for settlement of losses . If at the time of payment of the insurance
claims the policyholder had outstanding debt of the insurance premium, the unpaid part is deducted from the amount of compensation .
If there is a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured client, the Group has a right to pursue third parties responsible for loss
for payment of some or all costs related to the claims settlement process of the Group .
Diversification of the insurance portfolio. To reduce insurance risk, the Group also uses the diversification of its insurance portfo-
lio – it insures a large number of small risks, which, in particular, is achieved through the remote provision of insurance services almost
throughout the Russian Federation . The Insurance Company does not operate outside the Russian Federation and is exposed to risks
associated with the geographical features of the regions of the Russian Federation .
Sensitivity analysis. The following analyses the possible changes in the key assumptions used in the calculation of insurance liabilities
under contracts other than life insurance, provided that the other assumptions are constant. This analysis reflects the impact on gross and
net liabilities, profit before tax and equity of the Group.

31 Management of Capital
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are (i) for the Bank to comply with the capital requirements set by the Central Bank of the Rus-
sian Federation (CBRF), (ii) for the Insurance Company to comply with the capital requirements set by the legislation of the Russian Federation,
(iii) for the Group to comply with the financial covenants set by the terms of securities issued; (iv) to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue
as a going concern .
The Group considers total capital under management to be equity attributable to shareholders of the Company as shown in the consolidated
statement of financial position. The amount of capital that the Group managed as of 31 December 2022 was RR 205,776 million (31 Decem-
ber 2021: RR 176,091 million) .
In October 2021 the Bank was added to the Bank of Russia’s list of 13 systemically important banking institutions due to a recognition of the
Bank’s growing presence in the financial market and expanding customer base of its ecosystem. As a result, from 1 January 2022 the Bank
is obliged to comply with the additional capital adequacy buffers +1% to the minimum required statutory equity capital adequacy ratio (N1.0).
Compliance with capital adequacy ratios set by the CBRF is monitored daily and submitted to the CBRF monthly with reports outlining their
calculation reviewed and signed by the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accountant. Other objectives of capital management are
evaluated annually . In accordance with information provided internally to key management personnel, the amount of regulatory capital
of the Bank calculated in accordance with the methodology set by CBRF as at 31 December 2022 was RR 208,776 million, and the equity
capital adequacy ratio (N1 .0) was 16 .62% (31 December 2021: RR 206,955 million and 15 .27%) . Minimum required statutory equity capital
adequacy ratio (N1 .0) was 9% as at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: 8%) .
The Group also monitors capital requirements including capital adequacy ratio under the Basel III methodology of the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision: global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems (hereinafter “Basel III”) . The composition of the Group’s
capital calculated in accordance with the methodology set by Basel Committee with capital adjustments as set out in Basel III is as follows:

In 2022 due to the suspension of the international rating agency Fitch, the Group applies risk assessments established by the Russian rating
agency ACRA to assess credit risk and classify financial instruments according to the level of credit risk (Note 30). The Group assessed that
the effect of the transition is immaterial for both reporting period and comparative information. The Group and the Bank have complied with
all externally imposed capital requirements throughout the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 . The Insurance Company has com-
plied with all capital requirements set by the legislation of the Russian Federation throughout the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 .
32 Contingencies and Commitments
Legal proceedings. From time to time and in the normal course of business, claims against the Group may be received . On the basis of
its own estimates and internal professional advice, management is of the opinion that no material unprovided losses will be incurred in
respect of claims .
Tax contingencies. Russian tax legislation which was enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, is subject to
varying interpretations when being applied to the transactions and activities of the Group . Consequently, tax positions taken by manage-
ment and the formal documentation supporting the tax positions may be challenged by the tax authorities . Russian tax administration
is gradually strengthening, including the fact that there is a higher risk of review of tax transactions without a clear business purpose or
with tax incompliant counterparties . Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for three calendar years
preceding the year when decision about review was made . Under certain circumstances reviews may cover longer periods . The Russian
transfer pricing legislation is generally aligned with the international transfer pricing principles developed by the Organization for Eco-
nomic Cooperation and Development (OECD), although it has specific features. This legislation provides for the possibility of additional
tax assessment for controlled transactions (transactions between related parties and certain transactions between unrelated parties),
if such transactions are not on an arm's length . Tax liabilities arising from controlled transactions are determined based on their actual
transaction prices . It is possible, with the evolution of the interpretation of transfer pricing rules, that such transfer prices could be
challenged. The impact of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated; however, it may be significant to the financial position and/or
the overall operations of the Group .
The Group includes companies incorporated outside of Russia . The tax liabilities of the Group are determined on the assumption that
these companies are not subject to Russian profits tax, because they do not have a permanent establishment in Russia. The Company is
a tax resident of Cyprus only and full beneficial owner of the Bank and Insurance Company. This interpretation of relevant legislation may
be challenged but the impact of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated currently; however, it may be significant to the financial
position and/or the overall operations of the Group .
The Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) legislation introduced Russian taxation of profits of foreign companies and non-corporate
structures (including trusts) controlled by Russian tax residents (controlling parties) . The CFC income is subject to a 20% tax rate if the
CFC is controlled by a legal entity and a rate of 13% if it is controlled by an individual . As a result, management reassessed the Group’s
tax positions and recognised current tax expense as well as deferred taxes that arose from the expected taxable manner of recovery of
the relevant Group’s operations to which the CFC legislation applies to and to the extent that the Group (rather than its owners) is obliged
to settle such taxes .
As Russian tax legislation does not provide definitive guidance in certain areas, the Group adopts, from time to time, interpretations
of such uncertain areas that reduce the overall tax rate of the Group . While management currently estimates that the tax positions and
interpretations that it has taken can probably be sustained, there is a possible risk that outflow of resources will be required should such
tax positions and interpretations be challenged by the tax authorities . The impact of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated;
however, it may be significant to the financial position and/or the overall operations of the Group. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021
no material tax risks were identified.

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
32 Contingencies and Commitments (Continued)
Future lease payments related to leases where leased asset is of low value. The future cash outflows to which the Group is
exposed and which are not reflected in the lease liabilities amounted to RR 2,668 million at 31 December 2022 and relate primarily to
leases of assets which are of low value (31 December 2021: RR 1,906 million) .
Compliance with covenants. The Group is subject to certain covenants related primarily to its subordinated perpetual debt .
Non-compliance with such covenants may result in negative consequences for the Group . Management believes that the Group was in
compliance with all such covenants as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 .
Credit related commitments and performance guarantees issued. The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that
funds are available to a customer as required . Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend
credit in the form of credit card loans, guarantees . With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group is potentially
exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments, if the unused amounts were to be drawn down .
Most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term
to maturity of credit related commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-
term commitments .
Performance guarantees are contracts that provide compensation if another party fails to perform a contractual obligation . Such contracts
do not transfer credit risk . The risk under performance guarantee contracts is the possibility that the insured event (i .e . the failure to perform
the contractual obligation by another party) occurs. The key risks the Group faces are significant fluctuations in the frequency and severity
of payments incurred on such contracts relative to expectations . The Group uses a scoring model to predict levels of such payments . Claims
must be made before the contract matures and most claims are settled within short term . This allows the Group to achieve a high degree of
certainty about the estimated payments and therefore future cash flows.
Outstanding credit related commitments and performance guarantees are as follows:

The total outstanding contractual amount of unused limits on contingencies and commitments liability does not necessarily represent future
cash requirements, as these financial instruments may expire or terminate without being funded. In accordance with credit card service
conditions the Group has a right to refuse the issuance, activation, reissuing or unblocking of a credit card, and is providing a credit card
limit at its own discretion and without explaining its reasons .

In March 2022 the Group changed the approach of risk grades and the corresponding range of probabilities of default for measuring credit
risk and grading credit card loans, as well as credit related commitments (refer to Note 8) . This triggered changes in the analysis of the credit
risk exposure to be presented . Disclosures for comparative periods were amended accordingly .
Also, the Group may decide to increase or decrease a credit card limit using a scoring model, which is based on the client's behaviour model .
Therefore, the fair value of the contractual amount of revocable unused limits on contingencies and commitments is close to zero . Credit
related commitments are denominated in RR .

(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements are valuation techniques with all material inputs
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three measure-
ments are valuations not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) .
(a) Recurring fair value measurements
Recurring fair value measurements are those that the accounting standards require or permit in the consolidated statement of financial

Changes in the valuation techniques for level 2 recurring fair value measurements during the year ended 31 December 2022 are described
in the table above (2021: no changes) . Level 2 derivatives comprise foreign exchange forwards and swaps .
The foreign exchange forwards have been fair valued using forward exchange rates that are quoted in an active market . Foreign exchange
swaps are fair valued using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves. The effects of discounting are generally insignifi-
cant for level 2 derivatives .

Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by an active quoted market price . Where quoted market prices are not available, the Group
used valuation techniques. The fair value of floating rate instruments that are not quoted in an active market was estimated to be equal
to their carrying amount. The fair value of unquoted fixed interest rate instruments was estimated based on estimated future cash flows
expected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity .
As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 the fair value of the debt securities in issue and subordinated debt has been calculated based on quoted
prices from the Moscow Exchange, St . Petersburg Exchange and Global Exchange Market, where the Group’s debt securities are listed and
traded .

37 Presentation of Financial Instruments by Measurement Category
For the purposes of measurement, IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” classifies financial assets into the following categories: (a) financial
assets at FVTPL; (b) financial assets at FVOCI and (c) financial assets at AC. Financial assets at FVTPL have two sub-categories: (i) assets
measured at FVTPL mandatorily, and (ii) assets designated as such upon initial recognition . The following table provides a reconciliation of
classes of financial assets with these measurement categories as of 31 December 2022:

Management long-term incentive program. On 31 March 2016 the Group introduced a MLTIP as both a long-term incentive
and a retention tool for the management of the Group . Total number of GDRs attributable to the management is 21,533 thousand as
at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: 17,241 thousand) .
Participants of the program receive the vested parts of their grants provided that they remain employed by the Group throughout the
vesting period . Participants are entitled to the dividends, if any . Participants who leave the Group lose their right for the unvested
parts of the grants .
The fair value of the awards as at grant dates, each year during 2016-2022, is determined on the basis of market quotes of GDRs as
at those dates . Weighted-average fair value of the awards in 2022 was USD 3 .2 per 1 GDR (2021: USD 87 per 1 GDR) . In 2022, the
grants introduced during 2016-2020 have been fully vested .
Each grant provided in 2021 and 2022 is vested over 5 years . The delivery dates as of which the GDRs are allowed to be sold by the
participants correspond to the vesting dates, each subsequent 31 August until 2026 for 2021 grants and each subsequent 31 May
until 2027 for 2022 grants .

39 Events after the End of the Reporting Period
On 1 January 2022 the Group reclassified RR 122,805 million of government bonds, previously accounted under “Hold to collect and sell”
On 25 February 2023, the Bank became subject to an asset freeze in the EU under the Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2023/429,
implementing Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 (the "EC Regulation 269"). As a result, the Bank’s ability to make payments under its
Eurobonds issued in 2017 and 2021 through the usual channels was undermined by the assets freeze restrictions . In this regard, the Bank
cancelled interest payments for the one upcoming coupon period under its Eurobonds to avoid discrimination of all bondholders and to fo-
cus on finding a practical and lawful solution to remedy this situation by the time of the next coupon payment. The Bank has sufficient funds
for this purpose and will resume payments under the relevant Eurobonds as soon as it becomes legally attainable .
The Company and its controlled subsidiary undertakings (other than the Bank and any controlled subsidiary undertakings of the Bank)
are not subject to an asset freeze pursuant to EC Regulation 269 or to other EU sanctions . Management of the Group is assessing its
impact on the business .
40 Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law Cap .113 .
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the initial recogni-
tion of financial instruments based on fair value, and by revaluation of financial instruments categorised at fair value through profit
or loss (“FVTPL”) and at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) . The principal accounting policies applied in the
preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below . These policies have been consistently applied to all the
periods presented, unless otherwise stated . Refer to Note 41 . Management prepared these consolidated financial statements on
a going concern basis .
Consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are those investees, including structured entities, that the Group controls because
the Group (i) has power to direct relevant activities of the investees that significantly affect their returns, (ii) has exposure, or rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the investees, and (iii) has the ability to use its power over the investees to affect the amount of
investor’s returns. The existence and effect of substantive rights, including substantive potential voting rights, are considered when as-
sessing whether the Group has power over another entity . For a right to be substantive, the holder must have practical ability to exercise
that right when decisions about the direction of the relevant activities of the investee need to be made . The Group may have power over
an investee even when it holds less than majority of voting power in an investee .
In such a case, the Group assesses the size of its voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders to
determine if it has de-facto power over the investee . Protective rights of other investors, such as those that relate to fundamental changes
of investee’s activities or apply only in exceptional circumstances, do not prevent the Group from controlling an investee .
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group (acquisition date) and are deconsolidated from the
date on which control ceases .
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries other than those acquired from parties under
common control. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at
their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest .
The Group measures non-controlling interest that represents present ownership interest and entitles the holder to a proportionate share of
net assets in the event of liquidation on a transaction by transaction basis, either at: (a) fair value, or (b) the non-controlling interest's propor-
tionate share of net assets of the acquiree . Non-controlling interests that are not present ownership interests are measured at fair value .
Goodwill is measured by deducting the net assets of the acquiree from the aggregate of the consideration transferred for the acquiree, the
amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and fair value of an interest in the acquiree held immediately before the acquisition date . Any
negative amount (“negative goodwill”) is recognised in profit or loss, after management reassesses whether it identified all the assets acquired
and all liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, and reviews appropriateness of their measurement .
The consideration transferred for the acquiree is measured at the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or
assumed, including fair value of assets or liabilities from contingent consideration arrangements, but excludes acquisition related costs such as advi-
sory, legal, valuation and similar professional services . Transaction costs incurred for issuing equity instruments are deducted from equity; transac-
tion costs incurred for issuing debt are deducted from its carrying amount and all other transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed .
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless the cost cannot be recovered . The Company and all of its subsidiaries use uniform accounting policies consistent with
the Group’s policies .
Non-controlling interest is that part of the net results and of the equity of a subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned, directly
or indirectly, by the Group . Non-controlling interest forms a separate component of the Group’s equity . When the Group acquires a dormant
company with no business operations holding an asset and this asset is the main reason of acquisition of the company such transaction is
treated as an asset acquisition . No goodwill is recognized as a result of such acquisition .
Purchases and sales of non-controlling interests. The Group applies the economic entity model to account for transactions with
owners of non-controlling interest. Any difference between the purchase consideration and the carrying amount of non-controlling interest
acquired is recorded as a capital transaction directly in equity. The Group recognises the difference between sales consideration and carry-
ing amount of non-controlling interest sold as a capital transaction in the consolidated statement of changes in equity .
Associates. Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence (directly or indirectly), but not control, generally ac-
companying a shareholding of between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights . Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition
less accumulated credit losses, if any . Dividends received from associates reduce the carrying value of the investment in associates . Other
post-acquisition changes in Group’s share of net assets of an associate are recognised as follows: (i) the Group’s share of profits or losses
of associates is recorded in the consolidated profit or loss for the year as share of result of associates, (ii) the Group’s share of other com-
prehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented separately, (iii); all other changes in the Group’s share of
the carrying value of net assets of associates are recognised in profit or loss within the share of result of associates.
However, when the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured
receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate .
Otherwise the Group continue to recognise further losses if it has commitments to fund the associate’s operations .
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates;
unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred .
The Group applies the impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to long-term loans and similar long-term interest that in substance form part of the
investment in associate before reducing the carrying value of the investment by a share of a loss of the investee that exceeds the amount of
the Group’s interest in the ordinary shares .

Disposals of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained
interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial
carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In
addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity, are accounted for as if the Group had
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities . This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are
recycled to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previous-
ly recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where appropriate.
Financial instruments – key measurement terms. Depending on their classification financial instruments are carried at fair value or
amortised cost as described below .
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market partic-
ipants at the measurement date . The best evidence of fair value is price in an active market . An active market is one in which transactions
for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Fair value of
financial instruments traded in an active market is measured as the product of the quoted price for the individual asset or liability and the
quantity held by the entity .
This is the case even if a market’s normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held and placing orders to sell the
position in a single transaction might affect the quoted price.
The price within the bid-ask spread which management considers to be the most representative of fair value for quoted financial assets and
liabilities is the weighted average price of a trading day (WAP) . WAP calculation takes into account transactions made during main and ad-
ditional trading session (for securities admitted to additional trading session may differ from the weighted average price of the main trading
session). A portfolio of financial derivatives or other financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market is measured at the
fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be received to sell a net long position (an
asset) for a particular risk exposure or paid to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date .
This is applicable for assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis if the Group: (a) manages the group of financial assets and financial
liabilities on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to a particular market risk (or risks) or to the credit risk of a particular counterparty in
accordance with the entity’s documented risk management or investment strategy; (b) it provides information on that basis about the group
of assets and liabilities to the entity’s key management personnel; and (c) the market risks, including duration of the entity’s exposure to a
particular market risk (or risks) arising from the financial assets and financial liabilities is substantially the same.
Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models or models based on recent arm’s length transactions or consideration of financial data
of the investees, are used to measure fair value of certain financial instruments for which external market pricing information is not available.
Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: (i) level one are measurements at quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements are valuation techniques with all material inputs
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three meas-
urements are valuations not based on solely observable market data (that is, the measurement requires significant unobservable inputs).
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the end of the reporting period . Refer to Note 36 .
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument.
An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place . Transaction costs include fees and
commissions paid to agents (including employees acting as selling agents), advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies
and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or
internal administrative or holding costs .
Amortised cost (“AC”) is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognised at initial recognition less any principal repayments,
plus accrued interest, and for financial assets less any allowance for expected credit losses. Accrued interest includes amortisation of
transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method.
Accrued interest income and accrued interest expense, including both accrued coupon and amortised discount or premium (including fees
deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying values of related items in the consolidated
statement of financial position.
The effective interest method is a method of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period, so as to achieve a
constant periodic rate of interest (effective interest rate) on the carrying amount. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash payments or receipts (excluding future credit losses) through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter
period, if appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
The calculation does not consider expected credit losses and includes transaction costs, premiums or discounts and fees and points paid or
secured that are integral to the effective interest rate such as origination fees.
The effective interest rate discounts cash flows of variable interest instruments to the next interest repricing date, except for the premium
or discount, which reflects the credit spread over the floating rate specified in the instrument, or other variables that are not reset to market
rates . Such premiums or discounts are amortised over the whole expected life of the instrument .
The present value calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate .
For assets that are purchased or originated credit impaired (“POCI”) at initial recognition, the effective interest rate is adjusted for credit
risk, i.e. it is calculated based on the expected cash flows on initial recognition instead of contractual payments.
Financial instruments – initial recognition. Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value. All other financial instru-
ments are initially recorded at fair value adjusted for transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition or the
issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Fair value at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on
initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other observa-
ble current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs include only data from observable markets .
After the initial recognition, an ECL allowance is recognised for financial assets measured at AC and investments in debt instruments meas-
ured at FVOCI, resulting in an immediate accounting loss .
All purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention (“regu-
lar way” purchases and sales) are recorded at trade date, which is the date on which the Group commits to deliver a financial asset.
The Group uses discounted cash flow valuation techniques to determine the fair value of currency swaps, foreign exchange forwards that
are not traded in an active market. Differences may arise between the fair value at initial recognition, which is considered to be the transac-
tion price, and the amount determined at initial recognition using a valuation technique. The differences are immediately recognised in profit
or loss if the valuation uses only level 1 or level 2 inputs .
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – measurement categories. The Group classifies financial
assets in the following measurement categories: FVTPL, FVOCI and AC. The classification and subsequent measurement of debt financial
assets depends on:
• the Group’s business model for managing the related assets portfolio and
• the cash flow characteristics of the asset.
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – business model. The business model reflects how the Group
manages the assets in order to generate cash flows – whether the Group’s objective is:
• solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets (“hold to collect contractual cash flows”); or
• to collect both the contractual cash flows and the cash flows arising from the sale of assets (“hold to collect contractual cash flows and
sell”);
• if neither of i) and ii) is applicable, the financial assets are classified as part of “other” business model and measured at FVTPL.
Business model is determined for a group of assets (on a portfolio level) based on all relevant evidence about the activities that the Group under-
takes to achieve the objective set out for the portfolio available at the date of the assessment . Factors considered by the Group in determining the
business model include the purpose and composition of a portfolio, past experience on how the cash flows for the respective assets were collect-
ed, how risks are assessed and managed, how the assets’ performance is assessed and how managers are compensated .

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)

Based on the analysis performed the Group included the following financial instruments in the business model “hold to collect contractual
cash flows” since the Group manages these financial instruments solely to collect contractual cash flows: cash and cash equivalents,
mandatory cash balances with the CBRF, due from other banks, loans and advances to customers, guarantee deposits with payment sys-
tems, brokerage receivables and other financial assets.
Debt securities are analysed individually, based on the purpose of the acquisition . Currently, the Group possesses “hold to collect con-
tractual cash flows” and “hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell” and “other” business models for its debt securities portfolio. The
Group included financial derivatives in the business model “other”.
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – cash flow characteristics. Where the business model is to
hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to hold contractual cash flows and sell, the Group assesses whether the cash flows repre-
sent solely payments of principal and interest (the SPPI test) . Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety
when determining whether their cash flows are consistent with the SPPI feature.
In making this assessment, the Group considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, i.e.
interest includes only consideration for credit risk, time value of money, other basic lending risks and profit margin.
Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that is inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the financial
asset is classified and measured at FVTPL. The SPPI assessment is performed on initial recognition of an asset and it is not subsequently
reassessed. However, if the contractual terms of the asset are modified, the Group considers if the contractual cash flows continue to be
consistent with a basic lending arrangement in assessing whether the modification is substantial. See below for “Financial assets – modifi-
cation” .
Financial assets – reclassification. Financial instruments are reclassified only when the business model for managing the portfolio as
a whole changes. The reclassification has a prospective effect and takes place from the beginning of the first reporting period that follows
after the change in the business model . The Group did not change its business model during the current and comparative period and did not
make any reclassifications.
Financial assets – impairment – credit loss allowance for ECL. The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECL for debt
instruments (including loans) measured at AC and FVOCI and for the exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee con-
tracts . The Group measures ECL and recognises credit loss allowance at each reporting date .
The measurement of ECL reflects:
1) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
2) the time value of money; and
3) all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period about past
events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions .
Debt instruments measured at AC are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position net of the allowance for ECL.
For loan commitments (where those components can be separated from the loan) and financial guarantees, a separate provision for ECL is
recognised as a financial liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. For debt instruments at FVOCI, changes in amortised
cost, net of allowance for ECL, are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in carrying value are recognised in OCI as gains less
losses on debt instruments at FVOCI .
The Group applies a “three stage” model for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9, based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition:
1) A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in Stage 1. Financial assets in Stage 1 have their ECL
measured at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime ECL that results from default events possible within the next 12 months or until
contractual maturity, if shorter (“12 months ECL”) .
2) If the Group identifies a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) since initial recognition, the asset is transferred to Stage 2 and its
ECL is measured based on ECL on a lifetime basis, that is, up until contractual maturity but considering expected prepayments, if any
(“lifetime ECL”) . Refer to Note 30 for a description of how the Group determines when a SICR has occurred .
3) If the Group determines that a financial asset is credit-impaired, the asset is transferred to Stage 3 and its ECL is measured as a lifetime
ECL. Refer to Note 30 for a description of how the Group defines credit-impaired assets and default.
For financial assets that are purchased or originated credit-impaired (“POCI Assets”), the ECL is always measured at a lifetime ECL. Note
30 provides information about inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used in measuring ECL, including an explanation of how the
Group incorporates forward-looking information in the ECL models .
As an exception, for certain financial instruments, such as credit cards, that may include both a loan and an undrawn commitment compo-
nent, the Group measures expected credit losses over the period that the Group is exposed to credit risk, that is, until the expected credit
losses would be mitigated by credit risk management actions, even if that period extends beyond the maximum contractual period . This is
because contractual ability to demand repayment and cancel the undrawn commitment does not limit the exposure to credit losses to such
contractual notice period . Refer to Note 3 for critical judgements applied by the Group in determining the period for measuring ECL .
Financial assets – write-off. Uncollectible assets are partly written-off against the related сredit loss allowance usually after one year
since they become overdue . The amount of uncollectible part of loan is estimated on a loan portfolio basis taking into account defaulted
loans recovery statistics. The Group writes-off financial assets that are mostly still subject to enforcement activity, however, there is no
reasonable expectation of recovery . If credit-impaired loans are sold to third parties, the Group remeasures the amount of ECL prior to sale
taking into consideration the expected sales proceeds so that there are no gains or losses on derecognition upon sale .
Repayments of written-off loans. Recovery of amounts previously written-off as uncollectible is credited directly to the credit loss
allowance line in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Cash flows related to repayments of writ-
ten-off loans are separately presented within recoveries from written-off loan in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Financial assets – derecognition. The Group derecognises financial assets when (a) the assets are redeemed or the rights to cash flows
from the assets otherwise expired or (b) the Group has transferred the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets or entered into a qualify-
ing pass-through arrangement while (i) also transferring substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the assets or (ii) neither transferring
nor retaining substantially all risks and rewards of ownership, but not retaining control . Control is retained if the counterparty does not have the
practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party without needing to impose restrictions on the sale .
Financial assets – modification. The Group sometimes renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual terms of the financial assets.
The Group assesses whether the modification of contractual cash flows is substantial considering, among other, the following factors:
any new contractual terms that substantially affect the risk profile of the asset, significant change in interest rate, change in the currency
denomination, new collateral or credit enhancement that significantly affects the credit risk associated with the asset, or a significant exten-
sion of a loan when the borrower is not in financial difficulties.
If the modified terms are substantially different, the rights to cash flows from the original asset expire and the Group derecognises the origi-
nal financial asset and recognises a new asset at its fair value. The date of renegotiation is considered to be the date of initial recognition for
subsequent impairment calculation purposes, including determining whether a SICR has occurred .
The Group also assesses whether the new loan or debt instrument meets the SPPI criterion. Any difference between the carrying amount
of the original asset derecognised and fair value of the new substantially modified asset is recognised in profit or loss, unless the substance
of the difference is attributed to a capital transaction with owners.
In a situation where the renegotiation was driven by financial difficulties of the counterparty and inability to make the originally agreed
payments, the Group compares the original and revised expected cash flows to assets whether the risks and rewards of the asset are sub-
stantially different as a result of the contractual modification. If the risks and rewards do not change, the modified asset is not substantially
different from the original asset and the modification does not result in derecognition.
The Group recalculates the gross carrying amount by discounting the modified contractual cash flows by the original effective interest rate
(or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for POCI financial assets) and recognises a modification gain or loss through a credit loss allow-
ance. Usually modifications of stage 3 loans do not result in derecognition since they do not change the expected cash flows substantially
and represent the way of collection of past due balances .
Financial liabilities – measurement categories. Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at AC, except for finan-
cial liabilities at FVTPL: this classification is applied to derivatives, financial liabilities held for trading (e.g. short positions in securities).
Financial liabilities – derecognition. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished (i .e . when the obligation speci-
fied in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).

Financial Statements (Continued)

An exchange between the Group and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as substantial
modifications of the terms and conditions of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial
liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows
under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10%
different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
In addition, other qualitative factors, such as the currency that the instrument is denominated in, changes in the type of interest rate, new
conversion features attached to the instrument and change in loan covenants are also considered . If an exchange of debt instruments or
modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the
extinguishment. If the exchange or modification is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying
amount of the liability and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability.
Modifications of liabilities that do not result in extinguishment are accounted for as a change in estimate using a cumulative catch up meth-
od, with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss, unless the economic substance of the difference in carrying values is attributed to a
capital transaction with owners .
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents include all interbank placements
and reverse sale and repurchase agreements with other banks with original maturities of less than three months . Funds restricted for a period
of more than three months on origination are excluded from cash and cash equivalents . Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost
as: (i) they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent SPPI, and (ii) they are not designated at FVTPL.
The payments or receipts presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows represent transfers of cash and cash equivalents by the
Group, including amounts charged or credited to current accounts of the Group’s counterparties held with the Group, such as loan interest
income or principal collected by charging the customer’s current account or interest payments or disbursement of loans credited to the
customer’s current account, which represents cash or cash equivalent from the customer’s perspective .
Brokerage receivables and brokerage payables. Brokerage receivables represent placements under reverse sale and repurchase
agreements made by the Bank with central counterparty to provide customers of the Bank who have brokerage accounts with the Bank
with possibility to acquire securities in case those customers have insufficient own funds to acquire those securities. Brokerage payables
represent funds attracted under sale and repurchase agreements made by the Bank with central counterparty to provide customers of the
Bank who have brokerage accounts with the Bank with the possibility to borrow securities and make a short sale . Brokerage receivables and
payables are short-term and accounted at amortised cost .
Mandatory cash balances with the CBRF. Mandatory cash balances with the CBRF are carried at amortised cost and represent
non-interest bearing mandatory reserve deposits which are not available to finance the Group’s day to day operations and hence are not
considered as part of cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Due from other banks. Amounts due from other banks are recorded when the Group advances money to counterparty banks with no
intention of trading the resulting unquoted non-derivative receivable due on fixed or determinable dates. Amounts due from other banks are
carried at amortised cost as: (i) they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent SPPI, and (ii) they are
not designated at FVTPL .
Certain bank deposits are subject to the “bail-in” legislation that permits or requires a national resolving authority to impose losses on
holders in particular circumstances . Where the bail-in clauses are included in the contractual terms of the instrument and would apply even
if legislation subsequently changes, the SPPI test is not met and such instruments are mandatorily measured at FVTPL . The Group did not
identify such balances due from other banks . Where such clauses in the contract merely acknowledge the existence of the legislation and do
not create any additional rights or obligation for the Group, the SPPI criterion is met and the respective instruments are carried at AC .
Investments in debt securities. Based on the business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics, the Group classifies invest-
ments in debt securities as carried at AC, FVOCI or FVTPL .
Debt securities are carried at AC if they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and where those cash flows represent SPPI, and if
they are not voluntarily designated at FVTPL in order to significantly reduce an accounting mismatch.
Debt securities are carried at FVOCI if they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling, where those cash flows represent
SPPI, and if they are not designated at FVTPL. Interest income from these assets is calculated using the effective interest method and recog-
nised in profit or loss. An impairment allowance estimated using the expected credit loss model is recognised in profit or loss for the year. All
other changes in the carrying value are recognised in OCI except for foreign exchange translation gains/(losses) and interest income calculated
using the effective interest rate method. When the debt security is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is
reclassified from OCI to profit or loss.
Investments in debt securities are carried at FVTPL if they do not meet the criteria for AC or FVOCI . The Group may also irrevocably des-
ignate investments in debt securities at FVTPL on initial recognition if applying this option significantly reduces an accounting mismatch
between financial assets and liabilities being recognised or measured on different accounting bases.
Loans and advances to customers. Loans and advances to customers are recorded when the Group advances money to purchase or
originate a loan due from a customer .
Based on the business model and the cash flow characteristics, the Group classifies loans and advances to customers into one of the follow-
ing measurement categories:
1) AC: loans that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent SPPI and loans that are not voluntarily
designated at FVTPL;
2) FVTPL: loans that do not meet the criteria for AC or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL (mandatory FVTPL) .
Impairment allowances of the loans measured at AC are determined based on the forward-looking ECL model . Note 30 provides informa-
tion about inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used in measuring ECL, including an explanation of how the Group incorporates
forward-looking information in the ECL models .
Credit related commitments. The Group issues commitments to provide loans . Commitments to provide loans are initially recognised
at their fair value, which is normally evidenced by the amount of fees received . Such loan commitment fees are deferred and included in the
carrying value of the loan on initial recognition . At the end of each reporting period, the commitments are measured at the amount of the loss
allowance determined based on the expected credit loss model . For loan commitments (where those components can be separated from the
loan), a separate provision for ECL is recognised as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Performance guarantees. Performance guarantees are contracts that provide compensation if another party fails to perform a con-
tractual obligation. Such contracts transfer non-financial performance risk in addition to credit risk. Performance guarantees are initially
recognised at their fair value, which is normally evidenced by the amount of fees received . This amount is amortised on a straight line basis
over the life of the contract . At the end of each reporting period, the performance guarantee contracts are measured at the higher of (i) the
unamortised balance of the amount at initial recognition and (ii) the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the contract at the end
of each reporting period, discounted to present value . Where the Group has the contractual right to revert to its customer for recovering
amounts paid to settle the performance guarantee contracts, such amounts will be recognised as an asset upon transfer of the loss com-
pensation to the guarantee’s beneficiary. These fees are recognised within fee and commission income in profit or loss.
Sale and repurchase agreements and lending of securities. Sale and repurchase agreements (“repo agreements”), which ef-
fectively provide a lender’s return to the counterparty, are treated as secured financing transactions. Securities sold under such sale and
repurchase agreements are not derecognised. The securities are not reclassified in the consolidated statement of financial position unless
the transferee has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the securities, in which case they are reclassified as repurchase receiv-
ables . The corresponding liability is presented within amounts due to other banks or other borrowed funds .
Securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repo agreements”), which effectively provide a lender’s return to the Group, are
recorded as due from other banks or loans and advances to customers, as appropriate. The difference between the sale and repurchase
price, adjusted by interest and dividend income collected by the counterparty, is treated as interest income and accrued over the life of
reverse repo agreements using the effective interest method.
Securities lent to counterparties for a fixed fee are retained in the consolidated financial statements in their original category in the consol-
idated statement of financial position unless the counterparty has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the securities, in which
case they are reclassified and presented separately.
Securities borrowed for a fixed fee are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements, unless these are sold to third parties, in which
case the purchase and sale are recorded in profit or loss for the year within gains less losses arising from trading securities. The obligation
to return the securities is recorded at fair value in other borrowed funds .

Based on classification of securities sold under the sale and repurchase agreements, the Group classifies repurchase receivables into one
of the following measurement categories: AC, FVOCI, FVTPL .
Guarantee deposits with payment systems. Amounts of guarantee deposits with payment systems are recorded when the Group
advances money to payment systems with no intention of trading the resulting unquoted non-derivative receivable . Amounts of guarantee
deposits with payment systems are carried at amortised cost .
Accounting for leases by the Group as a lessee. Leases, where the Group is the lessee, are recognised as a right-of-use asset and
a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group . Each lease payment is allocated between
the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period . The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful
life and the lease term on a straight-line basis .
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis . Lease liabilities include the net present value of the
following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable under cancellable and non-cancellable
Tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, where required.
operating leases;
Costs of minor repairs and day-to-day maintenance are expensed when incurred . Costs of replacing major parts or components of premises
and equipment items are capitalised, and the replaced part is retired .
At the end of each reporting period management assesses whether there is any indication of impairment of tangible fixed assets. If any such
indication exists, management estimates the recoverable amount, which is determined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell
and its value in use. The carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the
year . An impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior years is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
asset’s value in use or fair value less costs to sell .
Gains and losses on disposals determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount are recognised in profit or loss for the year (within
other operating income or expenses) .
Depreciation. Depreciation of each item of tangible fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate its cost to its
residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:
Building
Equipment
Vehicles
Useful lives in years
99
3 to 10
5 to 7
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of their useful economic life and the term of the underlying lease
Others (safes, fireproof cabinets)
20
The residual value of an asset is an estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset less the estimated
costs of disposal, if the asset was already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life . The assets’ residual values
and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period .
Intangible assets. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization . The Group’s intangible assets other than insurance
license have definite useful life and include capitalised acquired computer software and internally developed software. Development costs
that are directly associated with identifiable and unique software controlled by the Group are recorded as intangible assets if the inflow of
incremental economic benefits exceeding costs is probable. Capitalised costs include staff costs of the software development team and an
appropriate portion of relevant overheads .
Computer software licenses acquired are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software.
All other costs associated with computer software, e .g . its maintenance, are expensed when incurred . Capitalised computer software is
amortised on a straight line basis over expected useful lives of 1 to 10 years .
At each reporting date management assesses whether there is any indication of impairment of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
If any such indication exists, management estimates the recoverable amount, which is determined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less
costs to sell and its value in use .
The carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss recog-
nised for an asset in prior years is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s value in use or fair value
less costs to sell. Intangible assets including goodwill with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment.
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate and that are initially measured using the index or rate as at the commence-
ment date;
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease term includes any non-cancellable and optional extension periods which have been assessed as reasonably certain to be exer-
cised . The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease . If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incre-
mental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar
value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions .
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
• any initial direct costs, and
• dismantling and restoration costs .
As an exception to the above, the Group accounts for short-term leases and leases of low value assets by recognising the lease payments
as an operating expense on a straight line basis . Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, and the lease does not
provide for the possibility of repurchase of the asset at the end of the contract . Low value assets are assets with a value of RR 300,000 or
less at the date of conclusion of the contract .
Right-of-use assets are included in tangible fixed assets, lease liabilities are included in other non-financial liabilities in the consolidated
statement of financial position. Depreciation of right-of-use assets are recognised in administrative and other operating expenses in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Finance cost is recognised within other similar expense line of the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Repayment of principal of lease liabilities is disclosed within cash
flows from financing activities of the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Due to other banks. Amounts due to banks are recorded when money or other assets are advanced to the Group by counterparty banks .
Non-derivative liability is carried at amortised cost .
Customer accounts. Customer accounts are non-derivative liabilities to corporate entities and individuals and are carried
at amortised cost .
Debt securities in issue. Debt securities are stated at amortised cost . If the Group purchases its own debt securities in issue, they
are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position and the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the
consideration paid is included in a separate line of consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as gains/losses
from repurchase of debt securities in issue .
Subordinated debt. Subordinated debt can only be paid in the event of a liquidation after the claims of other higher priority creditors have
been met . Subordinated debt is carried at AC .
Financial derivatives. Financial derivatives represented by forwards and foreign currency swaps are carried at their fair value . Derivatives
are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value of financial derivatives
are recorded in profit or loss within Net (losses)/gains from derivatives revaluation. The Group does not apply hedge accounting.

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
40 Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income taxes. Income taxes have been provided for in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Russian legislation and
Cyprus legislation enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period . The income tax charge comprises current tax and
deferred tax and is recognised in profit or loss for the year except if it is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity
because it relates to transactions that are also recognised, in the same or a different period, in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity .
Current tax is the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities in respect of taxable profits or losses for the cur-
rent and prior periods. Taxable profits or losses are based on estimates if the consolidated financial statements are authorised prior to filing
relevant tax returns . Taxes other than on income are recorded within administrative and other operating expenses .
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with the initial
recognition exemption, deferred taxes are not recorded for temporary differences on initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transac-
tion other than a business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. Deferred tax
balances are measured at tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period which are expected to apply to the
period when the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry forwards will be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are net-
ted only within the individual companies of the Group. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards
are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductions can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is not recognised on post-acquisition retained earnings and other post acquisition movements in reserves of subsidi-
aries, where the Group controls the subsidiary’s dividend policy and it is probable that the difference will not reverse through dividends or
otherwise in the foreseeable future .
Uncertain tax positions. The Group's uncertain tax positions are assessed by management at the end of each reporting period . Liabil-
ities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being
levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities . The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period and any known court or other rulings on such issues .
Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management’s best estimate of the expenditure
required to settle the obligations at the end of the reporting period .
Provisions for liabilities and charges. Provisions for liabilities and charges are non-financial liabilities of uncertain timing or amount.
They are accrued when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can
be made .
Levies and charges, such as taxes other than income tax or regulatory fees based on information related to a period before the obligation
to pay arises, are recognised as liabilities when the obligating event that gives rise to pay a levy occurs, as identified by the legislation that
triggers the obligation to pay the levy . If a levy is paid before the obligating event, it is recognised as a prepayment .
Other liabilities. Other liabilities are accrued when the counterparty has performed its obligations under the contract and are carried at
amortised cost .
Share capital. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds and debited against share premium .
Share premium. Share premium is the difference between the fair value of the consideration receivable for the issue of shares and the
nominal value of the shares . The share premium account can only be resorted to for limited purposes, which do not include the distribution
of dividends, and is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction of share capital .
Treasury shares. Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company’s equity instruments, the consideration paid, including
any directly attributable incremental external costs, net of income taxes, is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company
until the equity instruments are reissued, disposed of or cancelled . Where such shares are subsequently disposed of or reissued, any con-
sideration received is included in equity . The value of GDRs transferred out of treasury shares for the purposes of the long-term incentive
program for management of the Group are determined based on the weighted average cost .
Dividends. Dividends are recorded in equity in the period in which they are declared . Any dividends declared after the end of the reporting
period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue, are disclosed in the Note 39. The accounting reports of the
Group entities are the basis for profit distribution and other appropriations. The separate financial statements of the Company prepared in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU and in accordance with Cyprus Companies Law is the basis of available reserves for distribution .
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company's consolidated financial statements in
the year in which the dividends are appropriately authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Company. More specifically, interim
dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which these are authorised by the Board of directors and in the case of final dividends,
these are recognised in the period in which these are approved by the Company's shareholders .
Interest income and expense recognition. Interest income and expense calculated using effective interest method are recorded for
all debt instruments, other than those at FVTPL, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. This method defers, as part of in-
terest income or expense, all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate,
transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts .
Fees integral to the effective interest rate include origination fees (e.g. interchange fee on credit card loans) received or paid by the entity
relating to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or issuance of a financial liability.
Commitment fees (e .g . annual fee on credit card loans) received by the Group to originate loans at market interest rates are integral to the
effective interest rate if it is probable that the Group will enter into a specific lending arrangement and does not expect to sell the resulting
loan shortly after origination. The Group does not designate loan commitments as financial liabilities at FVTPL.
For financial assets that are originated or purchased credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the expected cash
flows (including the initial expected credit losses) to the fair value on initial recognition (normally represented by the purchase price). As a
result, the effective interest is credit-adjusted.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except for:
i . financial assets that have become credit-impaired (Stage 3), for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest
rate to their AC (net of the ECL provision); and
ii . financial assets that are purchased or originated credit-impaired, for which the original credit-adjusted effective interest rate is applied to the AC.
Customer acquisition expense recognition. Customer acquisition expenses are represented by the costs incurred by the Group on
services related to attraction of the client, mailing of advertising materials, processing of responses etc . Those costs, which can be directly
attributed to the acquisition of a particular client, are included in the effective interest rate of the originated financial instruments; the re-
maining costs are expensed on the basis of the actual services provided .
Other income and expense recognition. All other income is generally recorded on an accrual basis by reference to completion of
the specific performance obligation assessed on the basis of measurement of the Group’s progress towards complete satisfaction of that
performance obligation .
All other expenses are generally recorded on an accrual basis by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis
of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided .
Other similar income. Other similar income represents interest income recorded for debt instruments measured at fair value through
profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and is recognised on an accrual basis using nominal interest rate.
Other similar expense. Other similar expense represents finance cost related to the discounted lease payments using the incremental
borrowing rate .
Fee and commission income and expense. Fee and commission income is recognised over time as the services are rendered, when
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance. Such income includes SMS fee,
part of SME services commission, part of brokerage fee and income from MVNO services which represents fixed monthly payments. Varia-
ble fees are recognised only to the extent that management determines that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Other fee and commission income is recognised at a point in time when the Group satisfies its performance obligation, usually upon execu-
tion of the underlying transaction . The amount of fee or commission received or receivable represents the transaction price for the services

identified as distinct performance obligations. Such income includes acquiring commission, part of SME services commission, brokerage
fee and income from MVNO services, which represents payments for each transaction, fee for selling credit protection, interchange fee,
cash withdrawal fee, foreign currency exchange transactions fee, fee for money transfers and other .
All fee and commission expenses are generally recorded on an accrual basis by reference to completion of the specific transaction as-
sessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided .
Customer loyalty program. The group operates loyalty programs where retail clients accumulate points, which entitle them to reim-
bursement of purchases made with credit and debit cards. A financial liability is recognised for the amount of fair value of points expected
to be redeemed until they are actually redeemed or expire with the corresponding entries to interest income calculated using the effective
interest rate method or commission expenses depending on whether the points were accumulated by credit card clients or debit card clients
respectively .
Insurance contracts. Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk. Insurance risk exists when the
Group has uncertainty in respect of at least one of the following matters at inception of the contract: occurrence of insurance event, date
of occurrence of the insurance event, and the claim value in respect of the occurred insurance event . Such contracts may also transfer
financial risk.
Non-life insurance (short-term insurance). The below items from the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group are
accounted within Other financial assets and Other financial liabilities lines, the below items from the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income of these consolidated financial statements are accounted within Insurance premiums earned and
Insurance claims incurred lines .
• Premiums written. Premiums (hereafter – “premiums” or “insurance premiums”) under insurance contracts are recorded as written
upon inception of a contract and are earned on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related contract coverage . Reduction of premium
written in subsequent periods (under amendments to the signed original contacts, for example) is accounted by debiting of premiums
written in current period .
• Claims. Claims are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as compensation is paid
policyholders (beneficiaries) or third parties.
• Claims handling expenses. Claims handling expenses are recognised in profit or loss for the period as incurred and include direct
expenses related to negotiations and subsequent claims handling, as well as indirect expenses, including expenses of claims handling
department and administrative expenses directly related to activities of this department .
• Reinsurance. The Group assumes and cedes reinsurance in the normal course of business . Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve
the Group from its obligations to the policyholders under insurance contract . Amounts due from reinsurers are measured consistently
with the amounts associated with the direct insurance contracts and in accordance with the terms of each reinsurance contract . Rein-
surance assets arising from outward reinsurance contracts include reinsurers share in paid claims, including claims handling expenses .
Liabilities under outward reinsurance operations are obligations of the Group for payment of premiums to reinsurers . Reinsurance
assets include premiums ceded to the Group under inward reinsurance contracts . The Group's liabilities under inward reinsurance
contracts are obligations to compensate the Group's share in paid claims, including claims handling expenses to reinsurers . The Group
assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment on a regular basis . If there is objective evidence that the reinsurance asset is impaired,
the Group reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount and recognises that impairment loss in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The Group gathers the evidence that a reinsurance asset is impaired using the same process adopted for financial assets carried at am-
ortised cost. The impairment loss is also calculated following the same method used for the financial assets carried at amortised cost.
• Subrogation income. The Group has a right to pursue third parties responsible for loss for payment of some or all costs related to
the claims settlement process of the Group (subrogation). Reimbursements are recognised as income only if the Group is confident in
receipt of these amounts from these third parties . Under inward reinsurance contracts, amounts of reimbursement due to the Group
as a result of settlement of reinsurer's subrogation claims are treated as the Group's income as at the date of acceptance of the invoice
received from the reinsurer and including calculation of the Group's share in the subrogation claim .
• Deferred acquisition costs. Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) are calculated (for non-life insurance contracts) separately for each
insurance product . Acquisition costs include remuneration to agents for concluding agreements with corporate clients and individu-
als and brokerage fees for underwriting of assumed reinsurance agreements . They vary with and fully depend on the premium earned
under acquired or renewed insurance policies . These acquisition costs are deferred and amortised over the period in which the related
written premiums are earned . They are reviewed by line of business at the time of the policy issue and at the end of each accounting
period to ensure they are recoverable based on future estimates . For the insurance contracts with duration of less than one month and
with automatic prolongation condition amortisation of one-off acquisition costs occurs over the period determined based on statistical
assessment of duration of the insurance contract taking into account all of the expected future prolongations .
Insurance provisions
• Provision for unearned premiums. Provision for unearned premiums (“UEPR”) represents the proportion of premiums written that
relate to the unexpired term of policies in force as at the reporting date, calculated on a time apportionment basis . UEPR is recognised
within liabilities on a gross basis .
• Loss provisions. Loss provisions represent the accumulation of estimates for ultimate losses and include outstanding claims provision
(“OCP”) and provision for losses incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) . Loss provisions are recognised within liabilities on a gross
basis . Estimates of claims handling expenses are included in both OCP and IBNR . OCP is provided in respect of claims reported, but
not settled as at the reporting date . The estimation is made on the basis of information received by the Group during settlement of
the insured event, including information received after the reporting date . IBNR is determined by the Group by line of business using
actuarial methods, and includes assumptions based on prior years’ claims and claims handling experience . IBNR is calculated for each
occurrence period as the difference between the projected maximum amount of future payments resulting from the events that occurred
during the period and the amount of future payments resulting from the event already reported but not settled at the reporting date within
the same period . The methods of determining such estimates and establishing the resulting provisions are continually reviewed and up-
dated. Resulting adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as they arise.
Loss provisions are estimated on an undiscounted basis due to relatively quick pattern of claims notification and payment.
• Unexpired risk provision. Unexpired risk provision (“URP”) is recorded when unearned premiums are insufficient to meet claims and
expenses, which may be incurred after the end of the financial year. To estimate the unexpired risk provision the Group uses histori-
cal experience and forward looking assumptions of ultimate loss ratios (including claims handling expenses) and the level of in-force
portfolio maintenance expenses . The expected claims are calculated having regard to events that have occurred prior to the reporting
date. For the purposes of final presentation of consolidated financial statements unexpired risk provision is written off against deferred
acquisition costs .
• Liability adequacy testing. As at each reporting date the adequacy of the insurance reserves is tested . Testing of insurance reserves
for non-life insurance is performed to ensure adequacy of contract liabilities . In performing these tests, current estimates of future
contractual cash flows, claims handling and administration expenses are used. As a result of liability adequacy testing for non-life insur-
ance, the Group sets up its URP .
Foreign currency translation and operations. The functional currency of the Company and most of its significant subsidiaries is the
Russian Rouble (“RR”), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates . Monetary assets and
liabilities are translated into each entity’s functional currency at the official exchange rate of the CBRF at the end of the respective reporting
period .
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities into each entity’s functional currency
at year-end official exchange rates of the CBRF are recognised in profit or loss for the year as Net gains/(losses) from foreign exchange
translation .
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions with foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss for
the year as Net (losses)/gains from operations with foreign currencies (except for clients’ foreign currency exchange transactions fee, which
is recognised in profit or loss as fee and commission income).
Translation at year-end rates does not apply to non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost .
At 31 December 2022 the rate of exchange used for translating foreign currency balances was USD 1 = RR 70 .3375 (31 December 2021:
USD 1 = RR 74 .2926), and the average rate of exchange was USD 1 = RR 68 .5494 for the year ended 31 December 2022 (2021: USD 1 =
RR 73 .6541) .
Offsetting. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position only
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to either settle on a net basis, or to real-
ise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Such a right of set off (a) must not be contingent on a future event and (b) must be legally
enforceable in all of the following circumstances: (i) in the normal course of business, (ii) the event of default and (iii) the event of insolvency
or bankruptcy .

Earnings per share. Earnings per share are determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company by the weight-
ed average number of participating shares outstanding during the reporting year, excluding treasury shares . For the purpose of diluted
earnings per share calculation the Group considers dilutive effects of shares granted under employee share option plans.
Staff costs and related contributions. Wages, salaries, contributions to the Russian Federation state pension and social insurance
funds, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are
rendered by the employees of the Group. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to make pension or similar benefit payments
beyond the payments to the statutory defined contribution scheme.
Segment reporting. Segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Group’s chief operating
decision maker . Segments whose revenue, result or assets are ten percent or more of all the segments are reported separately .
Equity-settled share-based payment. The expense is recognized over the vesting period and is measured at the fair value of the award
determined at the grant date, which is amortized over the service (vesting) period . The fair value of the equity award is estimated only once
at the grant date and is trued up to the estimated number of instruments that are expected to vest . Dividends declared during the vesting
period accrue and are paid to the employee together with the sale proceeds of the vested shares upon a liquidity event . Expected dividends
(including those expected during the vesting period) are therefore included in the determination of fair value of the share-based payment .
Cash-settled share-based program. The expense is recognized gradually over the vesting period and is measured at the fair value of
the liability at each end of the reporting period. The fair value of the liability reflects all vesting conditions, except for the requirement of the
employee to stay in service which is reflected through the amortization schedule. The liability is measured, initially and at the end of each re-
porting period until settled, at fair value, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the instruments were granted and the extent
to which the employees have rendered service to date .
Amendments of the consolidated financial statements after issue. The Board of directors of the Company has the power to
amend the consolidated financial statements after issue.
Changes in presentation. In March 2022 the management of the Group refined the approach to the presentation of provisions on other
assets . The management concluded it was appropriate to reclassify these provisions from Administrative and other operating expenses to
the separate line Other provisions charged in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The effect of changes described above on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended
31 December 2021 is as follows:

41 Adoption of New or Revised Standards and Interpretations
Adoption of IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (issued on 18 May 2017 and effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2021, the effective date was subsequently moved to 1 January 2023 by amendments to IFRS 17, as
indicated below). The Group has adopted IFRS 17 with a date of transition of 1 January 2022 . IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4, which has
given companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using existing practices . As a consequence, it was
difficult for investors to compare and contrast the financial performance of otherwise similar insurance companies . IFRS 17 is a
single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds .
The standard requires recognition and measurement of groups of insurance contracts at: (i) a risk-adjusted present value of the
future cash flows (the fulfilment cash flows) that incorporates all of the available information about the fulfilment cash flows in a way
that is consistent with observable market information; plus (if this value is a liability) or minus (if this value is an asset) (ii) an amount
representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin) . Insurers will be recognising the profit
from a group of insurance contracts over the period they provide insurance coverage, and as they are released from risk . If a group of
contracts is or becomes loss-making, an entity will be recognising the loss immediately .
The Group plans to apply this standard:
• non-life insurance contracts issued by it, including inward reinsurance contracts (hereinafter referred to as “insurance contracts”);
• to reinsurance contracts held by it (hereinafter referred to as “reinsurance contracts”);
The Group has assessed the impact of the new standard on its financial statements, in particular, but not limited to:
• an analysis of insurance and reinsurance contracts was carried out for the presence of embedded components, as well as their classifi-
cation and segmentation;
• an analysis of current business processes and an assessment of the impact of the requirements of the new standard on existing systems
and business processes;
• a methodology for valuation of insurance and reinsurance contracts was developed, which includes the assessment of cash flows, the
determination of the discount rate and other actuarial assumptions, the calculation of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk, the
approach to allocating expenses associated with the implementation of insurance contracts, the approach to choosing an accounting
model, as well as choosing transition method;
• developing of accounting policy for insurance and reinsurance contracts;
• assesment of the effect of transition to IFRS 17.
Below are selected key decisions taken by the Group in relation to the new accounting policies .
The Group uses a premium distribution approach for contracts with a coverage period of one year or less, or where the Group reasonably
expects that the application of such a simplification will result in an estimate of the liability for the remaining coverage under that group of
contracts that will not differ materially from the results of applying the general model.
The Group has made the decision to transition to the requirements of IFRS 17 using a full retrospective approach to the transition to insur-
ance and reinsurance contracts in force at the date of transition. The modified hindsight approach was used in the calculations only in those
cases where a full hindsight approach was not practicable .
The Group has estimated the impact of the changes described above on equity as at 1 January 2022, which is approximately RR 200 million .
The impact of the initial application of IFRS 17 on the Group's equity has been assessed based on key new accounting policies, judgments
and estimates that have been adopted to date. The final assessment of the impact of the initial application of IFRS 17 as at 1 January 2022
may change after the date these financial statements are approved.
The following amended standard became effective from 1 January 2022, but did not have any material impact on the Group:
• Proceeds before intended use, Onerous contracts – cost of fulfilling a contract, Reference to the Conceptual Framework – narrow scope
amendments to IAS 16, IAS 37 and IFRS 3, and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 – amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and
IAS 41 (issued on 14 May 2020 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022).
42 New Accounting Pronouncements
Certain new amendments have been issued that are mandatory for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, which the
Group has not early adopted:
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting
Estimates (issued on 12 February 2021 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting
policies (issued on 12 February 2021 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 (issued
on 7 May 2021 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). The amendments to IAS 12 specify
how to account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations .

Management
Report
The Board of directors presents its report together with the audited
separate financial statements of TCS Group Holding PLC (the “Com-
pany”) for the year ended 31 December 2022 .
6 . The Bank is operating with ample liquidity and capital buffers
above regulatory minimums and expects to continue meeting all
applicable requirements comfortably .
Principal activities and nature of operations
of the Company
1 . The principal activities of the Company are holding of invest-
ments in subsidiary companies operating in the Russian Feder-
ation and offering call center services to customers and poten-
tial customers in the Russian Federation following the launch
of Cyprus based home call center . The main subsidiaries are
JSC “Tinkoff Bank” (the “Bank”), JSC “Tinkoff Insurance” (the
“Insurance company”), LLC Microfinance company “T-Finance”,
LLC “Phoenix” and others (the Company and its subsidiaries
collectively the “Group”) . Refer to Note 1
2 . The Bank specialises in consumer finance, retail banking for
individuals, individual entrepreneurs (“IE”), small and medi-
um enterprises (“SME”), acquiring and payments services
and brokerage services . The Bank which is fully licensed by
the Central Bank of Russia, launched its operations in the
summer of 2007 and is a member of the Russian Deposit
Insurance System . The Insurance Company specialises in
providing non-life insurance coverage such as accident,
property, travel, credit protection and auto insurance . As at
31 December 2022 in accordance with IFRS 10 definition of
control the Company has no ultimate controlling party .
Review of developments, position and
performance of the Group’s business
3 . During 2022 the Company continued the development of its call-
center and software development services in Cyprus, providing
training so that these employees might provide a wider range of
services to the Group and, indirectly, its customers .
7 . The key offerings of JSC “Tinkoff Insurance” are personal
accident insurance, collective insurance against accidents and
illnesses, travel insurance, motor vehicle insurance and property
insurance, compulsory third party liability insurance (CTP) and
voluntary third party liability insurance (VTP) . The Insurance
Company focuses on online sales .
8 .
In terms of financial performance the profit of the Company for
the year ended 31 December 2022 was RR 597 million (2021:
profit RR 4,743 million). The decreased profit is driven mostly the
negative revaluation of financial assets at FVTPL. At 31 Decem-
ber 2022 the total assets of the Company decreased by 58 .5% to
RR 516,077 million (2021: total assets increased by 159% to RR
1,243,701 million) and the net assets were RR 507,085 million
(2021: RR 1,243,333 million) . Such a sharp decline in assets
was driven by the escalating geopolitical tension in the region
that affected the economic and operating environment of the
Companies’ subsidiaries and led to an increase in volatility in
financial markets. These factors led to the negative revaluation
of the investments in subsidiaries .
Environmental matters
9 . As the Group is an online-only financial institution, the man-
agement of the Company believes that none of the Group’s
business relationships, products or services are likely to have
any significant actual or potential environmental impacts and
does not believe its operations are exposed to any material
environmental risks . Still the Company management provides
its strategic vision and supervise the Climate Strategy by
driving of the relevant initiatives and allocating the necessary
resources .
4 . The Group operates a flexible business model. Its virtual network
10 . Addressing climate change is a major element in the Compa-
enables it to quickly and easily increase business or slow down
customer acquisition depending upon the availability of funding
and market conditions . The Bank’s primary customer acquisition
channels are Internet and Mobile, but it also uses Direct Sales
Agents and partnerships (co-brands) to acquire new customers .
These customer acquisition models, combined with the Bank’s
virtual network, afford it a geographic reach across Russia
resulting in a highly diversified portfolio.
ny’s sustainability strategy that is integrated into key business
practices, policies, processes, and initiatives that ensure the
long-term sustainability of the Company business . In 2021 the
Group became a signatory to the UN Principles for Respon-
sible Banking and has joined the Science Based Targets
Initiative (SBTI) . In order to realise its SBTI plans and Net
Zero commitments, the Company has established an internal
transformation team to support the relevant developments
and initiatives .
5 .
In October 2021 the Bank was added to the Bank of Russia’s list
of 13 systemically important banking institutions due to a recog-
nition of the Bank’s growing presence in the financial market and
expanding customer base of its ecosystem . As a result, the Bank
is obliged to comply with the additional capital adequacy buffers,
as well as advanced risk management requirements . The Bank is
operating with ample liquidity and capital buffers above regula-
tory minimums and intends to continue comfortably meeting all
applicable requirements comfortably .
11 . The Group is implementing a climate risk assessment process
that covers both physical and transitional risks . The assess-
ment is made based on the country and sectoral context of
their likelihood and consequences .
12 . As of 31 December 2022 the Company considered RCP8 .5
IPPC AR5 scenario as the current and most likely scenario for
mid-term (until 2040) physical climate change .

Management
Report (Continued)
13 . The management of the Group is planning climate stress test-
ing to assess the mid- and long-term impact of climate risks
on its financial portfolio.
Human resources
14 . Empowerment is an important ingredient in the success of our
organization . To achieve this, decision-making is delegated
to levels deep below the management team, discussion, idea
generation and exchange and transparency are actively pro-
moted and encouraged and an open leadership style ensures
that information can move freely . The Group utilizes all types
of forums to promote continual dialogue – such as email, on-
line chat rooms, flash meetings, as well as formalized meeting
structures. The Group offers clear far-reaching career path
for its employees, a unique work environment and fair and
transparent compensation .
15 . Clear performance evaluation processes and fair compensa-
tion are essential. Compensation is a combination of fixed rate
salary and supplemental bonuses and is based on employee
performance . Employees are evaluated on a regular basis in
order to monitor their achievement against their Key Perfor-
mance Indicators as well as to provide feedback which can be
used for their career development and to determine incentive
compensation .
16 . Prior to its IPO in 2013, the Company set up share-based
management long term incentive plans as retention and moti-
vational tools for key and senior managers . In March 2016, the
Company announced a consolidated management long-term
incentive and retention plan (MLTIP) . Since then the Company
has announced an expansion of MLTIP during the next 6 years .
17 . The MLTIP programs are designed to grow the Company's
value by aligning more closely managers’ interests with those
of shareholders . The Company believes that participation in its
share capital is an effective motivation and retention tool. The
MLTIP programs embrace a growing number of managers, for
two main reasons: firstly, internal promotions as some employ-
ees were promoted to key managerial positions in line with the
growth of the Company; and, secondly, as part of its expansion
and transformation into a financial marketplace, the Company
has hired a significant number of new managers to develop and
manage new business lines and to strengthen internal controls,
including cyber security . The total size of the unvested pool
of the expanded MLTIP programs was 3 .4% of the Company’s
share capital as at 31 December 2022 (2021: 3 .6%) .
Non-Financial Information and Diversity
Statement
18 . The Company’s policies and other information that provide an
understanding of the development, performance, position and
impact of the Company’s activities in the areas of environmen-
tal, social and employee matters, respect for human rights,
anti-corruption and bribery matters can be found in the Com-
pany’s most recently published Non-Financial Information and
Diversity Statement (Sustainability Report) . The Company will
publish its Sustainability Report for the year ended 2022, if it
forms part of an integrated annual report on the Company’s
website, www .tcsgh .com .cy by 30 April 2023, but in any case
no later than 30 June 2023 .
Future developments
24 . The Company's strategic objective is to grow its custom-
er base profitably by building the most comprehensive,
engaging, innovative, and sustainable financial and lifestyle
ecosystem in the world .

Principal risks and uncertainties
Results
Treasury shares
19 . The Company’s business and financial results are impacted
by uncertainties and volatilities in the Russian economic
environment which can be impacted by global factors and/
or by national factors as disclosed in Note 2 to the separate
financial statements.
20 . The Company’s subsidiaries and the Company on its own are
subject to a number of principal risks which might adverse-
ly impact its performance . The principal activities of the
Company through its subsidiaries are banking and insurance
operations and so it is within this area that the principal risks
occur . Management considers that those principal risks are
financial risks, operational risks and legal risks. Financial risk
comprises market risks (including currency risk, interest rate
risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk .
21 . The Board has put in place arrangements to identify, evaluate
and manage the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the
Company . The Company has an established risk management
program that focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on
the Company's financial performance. This is overseen by
a dedicated Risk Management function, which works with sen-
ior management of the operating companies in Russia as well
as the Board of directors in this area . The primary objectives
of the financial risk management function are to establish
acceptable risk limits, and then ensure that the exposures
remain within those limits . The operational and legal risk
management functions are intended to ensure the proper
functioning of internal policies and procedures that minimize
operational and legal risks . The risk management strategy is
established so as to identify, assess, monitor and manage the
risks arising from Company's activities . These risks as well as
other risks and uncertainties, which affect the Company and
how these are managed, are presented in Notes 17 and 18 of
the separate financial statements.
22 . Analysis of impact of the current geopolitical situation in the
region on the Company is disclosed in Note 2 of the separate
financial statements.
Contingencies
23 . The Company’s contingencies are disclosed in Note 18 to the
separate financial statements.
25 . The Company’s results for the year are set out on page 2 of the

1,237,583) of its own GDRs, equivalent to approximately RR
1,885 million (2021: RR 2,567 million) and which represent
0 .3% (2021: 0 .6%) of the issued shares .
Any important events for the Company that have
occurred after the end of the financial year
26 . Since February 2022 the economic situation in the Rus-
sian Federation has been and is still affected by escalated
military and political conflict and the associated international
sanctions against a number of Russian institutions, compa-
nies, banks and individuals . On 25 February 2023, the Bank
became subject to an asset freeze in the EU under the Council
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2023/429, implementing
Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 (the "EC Regulation
269"). The Company and its controlled subsidiary under-
takings (other than the Bank and any controlled subsidiary
undertakings of the Bank) are not subject to an asset freeze
pursuant to EC Regulation 269 or to other EU sanctions .
Management of the Company is assessing its impact
on the business .
27 . At the beginning of 2021 the Company underwent a major
restructuring of its shareholder structure . On 7 January 2021
all issued 69,914,043 class B shares (35 .08% of the total num-
ber of issued shares) held by The Rigi Trust and The Bernina
Trust were converted to class A shares, and on the same date
100% of issued shares were reclassified and redesignated
as ordinary shares . Following the conversion, each share
carries a single vote, and the total number of votes capable of
being exercised is equal to the total number of issued shares
(currently 199,305,492 shares following the class B share
conversion). The number of GDRs in issue was not affected by
the conversion . Then the shares held by the two trusts were
transferred to The New Rigi Trust . After the conversion the
Trust’s voting rights dropped to approximately 35 .08% .
28 . On 28 April 2022 The New Rigi Trust, a major shareholder of
the Company, disposed of its entire interest in the Company .
Interros, a leading Russian investment group with a diverse
portfolio of assets including in banking, has acquired an inter-
est in the Group, and consequently now holds approximately
35 .08% of the outstanding shares in the Company . The deal
was approved by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation .
As a result of the aforementioned deal Mr Vladimir Potanin,
31 . Treasury shares are GDRs of TCS Group Holding PLC and in-
clude those that are held by a special purpose trust which has
been specifically created for the long-term incentive program
for the MLTIP (see Note 21 for further information) .
32 . During 2022 no GDRs were repurchased by the Company
(2021: 425,017 GDRs were repurchased at market price for
RR 1,877 million) .
33 . During 2022 the Company transferred 634,608 GDRs (2021:
2,200,813 GDRs), representing 0 .32% (2021: 1 .10%) of the
issued shares, upon vesting under the MLTIP . This resulted
in a transfer of RR 682 million (2021: RR 2,548 million) out of
treasury shares to retained earnings .
Research and development activities
34 . The Company has not undertaken any significant research and
development activities during the year ended 31 December
2022 though it continues to identify opportunities and ways to
further develop its business in line with its strategic objective
as set out above .

ercise their duties . The Directors continue to adopt the going

As the shares themselves are not listed on the Cyprus Stock

ticles of Association of the Company and by law . The current Board

cific responsibilities have been delegated to those committees as
described below .
The Board is required to undertake a formal and rigorous review annu-
ally of its own performance, that of its committees and of its individual
directors . That review was recently initiated, in-house, in relation to
2022, looking at overall performance . All directors were invited to pro-
vide feedback on the Board’s, the committees’ and individual director’s
performance . Analysis of the resultant feedback will be discussed at a
meeting of the Board of directors scheduled for early 2023 .
All shares are ordinary shares, each ranking pari passu for all pur-
poses and in all respects with all other existing shares .
The Board has not appointed a senior independent director . As of
the year ended 2022 there were three independent non-executive
directors, of whom at least one must retire each year .

TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2022STRATEGIC REVIEWFINANCIALSDIRECTOR'S REVIEW Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of TCS Group Holding PLC
Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements of parent company TCS Group Holding PLC (the “Company”) give a true
and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and the
requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113 .
What we have audited
We have audited the separate financial statements which are presented in pages 1 to 40 and comprise:
•
•
•
•
•
the separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022;
the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year then ended;
the separate statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
the separate statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
the notes to the separate financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the separate financial statements is International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap . 113 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) . Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements section of our report .
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remained independent of the Company throughout the period of our appointment in accordance with the International Ethics Stand-
ards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards)
(IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate financial statements in Cyprus and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
Kiteserve Limited, Correspondence Address: 6, Karaiskakis Street, City House, 3rd floor,
CY-3032, Limassol, Cyprus
Kiteserve Limited is a private company registered in Cyprus (Reg . No . 435188) . A list of the company's directors including for individuals the present name and surname, as well as any
previous names and for legal entities the corporate name, is kept by the Secretary of the company at its registered office at 31 Gladstonos Street, CY-1095 Nicosia, and appears on the
company's web site .
Our audit approach
Overview
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the separate financial
statements. In particular, we considered where the Board of Directors made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant
accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain . As in all of our audits,
we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was
evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud .
Materiality
• Overall materiality: Russian Roubles (“RR”) 10 000 million, which represents
approximately 2% of total equity .
Key audit matters
We have identified the following key audit matter:
• Valuation of investments in subsidiaries .
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the separate financial state-
ments as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which
the Company operates .
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
separate financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered
material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of the separate financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for
the separate financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to
determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements,
both individually and in aggregate on the separate financial statements as a whole.
Overall group materiality
RR 10 000 million
How we determined it
Approximately 2% of total equity .
Rationale for the materiality
benchmark applied
The Company is a holding company with limited operations . It elects to measure its
investments in subsidiaries at fair value . Therefore, we chose total equity as the bench-
mark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the
Company is most commonly measured by users . We chose 2%, which in our experience
is an acceptable quantitative materiality threshold for this benchmark .
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above RR 500 million as well as
misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons .
Key audit matters incorporating the most significant risks of material misstatements, including assessed risk
of material misstatements due to fraud
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the separate financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters .

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements
We assessed the reasonableness of the valuation technique applied by Man-
agement in estimating the total fair value of the investments in subsidiaries .
We tested the accuracy of the inputs used in the valuation, with the main
input being the market quote of the GDRs of the Company, as well as the ap-
propriateness of the market from which these quotes were derived . We also
assessed the sensitivity of the valuation to the key inputs used .
We also reviewed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the
separate financial statements in respect of this valuation.
Based on the evidence obtained we found the valuation technique and inputs
used to be appropriate and the outputs to be reasonable .
Valuation of investments in subsidiaries
We focused on this area because Management makes
judgements in determining the fair value of investments in
subsidiaries .
The estimated fair value of investments in subsidiaries rec-
ognises that the majority of the value of TCS Group Holding
PLC resides in its main operating subsidiaries: JSC “Tinkoff
Bank”, JSC “Tinkoff Insurance” and LLC “Phoenix”. In
estimating the total fair value of the subsidiaries, the primary
input is the market quote of the Company’s GDRs which are
traded on the Moscow Stock Exchange . Other inputs include
the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities held by
the Company other than its investments in the subsidiaries .
Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies, Note 4, Critical
Accounting Estimates and Judgements in Applying Account-
ing Policies, Note 9, Investments in Equity Securities, and
Note 19, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, included in the
separate financial statements, provide detailed information
on the valuation of investments in subsidiaries .
Reporting on other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information . The other information comprises the information included in the Manage-
ment Report, including the Corporate Governance Statement, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Compa-
ny’s complete Annual Report and Non-Financial Information and Diversity Statement (Sustainability Report), which is expected to be made
available to us after that date. Other information does not include the separate financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assur-
ance conclusion thereon .
In connection with our audit of the separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated . If, based on the work we have performed, on the other information
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact . We have nothing to report in this regard .
When we read the Company’s complete Annual Report and Non-Financial Information and Diversity Statement (Sustainability Report), if we
conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and if
not corrected, we will bring the matter to the attention of the members of the Company at the Company's Annual General Meeting and we will
take such other action as may be required .
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the Separate Financial
Statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the separate financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law,
Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error .
In preparing the separate financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so .
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion . Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists . Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit . We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion . The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control .
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circum-
stances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by the Board of Directors .
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evi-
dence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern . If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report . However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern .
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our inde-
pendence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied .
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

Introduction(Continued)
The subsidiary LLC “Microfinance company “Т-Finans” provides micro-finance services to clients.
The subsidiary LLC “Phoenix” is a debt collection agency .
Registered address and place of business. The Company’s registered address is 25 Spyrou Araouzou, Berengaria 25, 5th floor,
Limassol, 3036, Cyprus, and place of business is Office 301B, Interlink Hermes Plaza, Ayiou Athanasiou Avenue 46, Limassol 4102
Cyprus .
Presentation currency. These separate financial statements are presented in millions of Russian Rubles (RR).
2 Operating Environment of the Group
Russian Federation. The Company’s main subsidiaries all operate mainly within the Russian Federation . In February 2022, the eco-
nomic situation in Russia was negatively affected by the geopolitical tension in the region, as well as expanded international sanctions
against certain Russian companies, citizens and institutions .
By the Company's management view this economic environment results in volatility in the fair value of investments, however this vola-
tility is not visible in the Company's surrounding activities . The Company has ample liquidity to carry on business and still can receive
dividends from subsidiaries .
Subsequent to the reporting date, the Bank was sanctioned as further disclosed in Note 22 .
3 Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation. These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law Cap .113 .
The Company has prepared these separate financial statements for compliance with the requirements of the Cyprus lncome Тах Law for
supporting its income tax return, and the Disclosure Rule as issued by the Financial Security Authority of the United Kingdom .
The separate financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the valuation of subsidiaries
at fair value, the initial recognition of financial instruments based on fair value, and by revaluation of financial instruments categorised
at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). The principal accounting
policies applied in the preparation of these separate financial statements are set out below.
Management prepared these separate financial statements on a going concern basis.
Financial instruments – key measurement terms. Depending on their classification financial instruments are carried at fair value
or amortised cost as described below .
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market par-
ticipants at the measurement date . The best evidence of fair value is the quoted price in an active market . An active market is one in which
transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Fair
value of financial instruments traded in an active market is measured as the product of the quoted price for the individual asset or liability
and the quantity held by the entity. This is the case even if a market’s normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held
and placing orders to sell the position in a single transaction might affect the quoted price.
The price within the bid-ask spread which management considers to be the most representative of fair value for quoted financial assets and
liabilities is the last bid price of the business day. A portfolio of financial derivatives or other financial assets and liabilities that are not traded
in an active market is measured at the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be
received to sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure or paid to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular
risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date .
This is applicable for assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis if the Company: (a) manages the group of financial assets and financial
liabilities on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to a particular market risk (or risks) or to the credit risk of a particular counterparty in
accordance with the entity’s documented risk management or investment strategy; (b) it provides information on that basis about the group
of assets and liabilities to the entity’s key management personnel; and (c) the market risks, including duration of the entity’s exposure to a
particular market risk (or risks) arising from the financial assets and financial liabilities is substantially the same.
Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models or models based on recent arm’s length transactions or consideration of financial data
of the investees, are used to measure fair value of certain financial instruments for which external market pricing information is not available.
Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: (i) level one are measurements at quoted prices (un-
adjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements are valuations techniques with all material inputs
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three meas-
urements are valuations not based on solely observable market data (that is, the measurement requires significant unobservable inputs).
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the end of the reporting period . Refer to Note 19 .
Associates. Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence (directly or indirectly), but not control, generally ac-
companying a shareholding of between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights . Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition
less accumulated credit losses, if any . Dividends received from associates reduce the carrying value of the investment in associates . Other
post-acquisition changes in Company’s share of net assets of an associate are recognised as follows: (i) the Company’s share of profits or
losses of associates is recorded in the profit or loss for the year as share of result of associates, (ii) the Company’s share of other compre-
hensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented separately, (iii); all other changes in the Company’s share of
the carrying value of net assets of associates are recognised in profit or loss within the share of result of associates.
However, when the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured
receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate .
Otherwise the Company continue to recognise further losses if it has commitments to fund the associate’s operations .
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the
associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred .
The Company applies the impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to long-term loans and similar long-term interest that in substance form part of
the investment in associate before reducing the carrying value of the investment by a share of a loss of the investee that exceeds the amount
of the Company’s interest in the ordinary shares .
Disposals of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. When the Company ceases to have control or significant influence, any
retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value
is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial
asset . In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity, are accounted for as if the
Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities . This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehen-
sive income are recycled to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previous-
ly recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where appropriate.
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument. An
incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place . Transaction costs include fees and
commissions paid to agents (including employees acting as selling agents), advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies
and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or
internal administrative or holding costs .
Amortised cost (“AC”) is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognised at initial recognition less any principal repayments,
plus accrued interest, and for financial assets less any allowance for expected credit losses. Accrued interest includes amortisation of
transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method.
Accrued interest income and accrued interest expense, including both accrued coupon and amortised discount or premium (including fees
deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying values of related items in the separate state-
ment of financial position.

Notes to the Separate
Financial Statements (Continued)
3 Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The effective interest method is a method of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period, so as to achieve a
constant periodic rate of interest (effective interest rate) on the carrying amount. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash payments or receipts (excluding future credit losses) through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter
period, if appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
The calculation does not consider expected credit losses and includes transaction costs, premiums or discounts and fees and points paid or
secured that are integral to the effective interest rate such as origination fees.
The effective interest rate discounts cash flows of variable interest instruments to the next interest repricing date, except for the premium
or discount, which reflects the credit spread over the floating rate specified in the instrument, or other variables that are not reset to market
rates . Such premiums or discounts are amortised over the whole expected life of the instrument . The present value calculation includes all
fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. For assets that are purchased or
originated credit impaired (“POCI”) at initial recognition, the effective interest rate is adjusted for credit risk, i.e. it is calculated based on the
expected cash flows on initial recognition instead of contractual payments.
Financial instruments – initial recognition. Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value. All other financial
instruments are initially recorded at fair value adjusted for transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition
or the issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Fair value at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or
loss on initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other
observable current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs include only data from observable
markets. After the initial recognition, an ECL allowance is recognised for financial assets measured at AC and investments in debt instru-
ments measured at FVOCI, resulting in an immediate accounting loss .
All purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention (“reg-
ular way” purchases and sales) are recorded at trade date, which is the date on which the Company commits to deliver a financial asset. All
other purchases are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument .
The Company uses discounted cash flow valuation techniques to determine the fair value of currency swaps, foreign exchange forwards that
are not traded in an active market. Differences may arise between the fair value at initial recognition, which is considered to be the transac-
tion price, and the amount determined at initial recognition using a valuation technique. The differences are immediately recognised in profit
or loss if the valuation uses only level 1 or level 2 inputs .
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – measurement categories. The Company classifies financial
assets in the following measurement categories: FVTPL, FVOCI and AC. The classification and subsequent measurement of debt financial
assets depends on:
•
•
the Company’s business model for managing the related financial assets portfolio; and
the cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – business model. The business model reflects how the Compa-
ny manages the assets in order to generate cash flows – whether the Company’s objective is:
• solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets (“hold to collect contractual cash flows”); or
•
•
to collect both the contractual cash flows and the cash flows arising from the sale of assets (“hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell”);
if neither of i) and ii) is applicable, the financial assets are classified as part of “other” business model and measured at FVTPL.
Business model is determined for a group of assets (on a portfolio level) based on all relevant evidence about the activities that the Company
undertakes to achieve the objective set out for the portfolio available at the date of the assessment . Factors considered by the Company
in determining the business model include the purpose and composition of a portfolio, past experience on how the cash flows for the
respective assets were collected, how risks are assessed and managed, how the assets’ performance is assessed and how managers are
compensated .
Based on the analysis performed the Company included the following financial instruments in the business model “hold to collect contrac-
tual cash flows” since the Company manages these financial instruments solely to collect contractual cash flows: cash and cash equiva-
lents, loans and deposit placements with related parties and other financial assets. The Company included debt securities at FVOCI in the
business model “hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell” since the Company manages these financial instruments to collect the
contractual cash flows.). The Company included debt securities measured at FVTPL and financial derivatives in the business model “other”.
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – cash flow characteristics. Where the business model is to
hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to hold contractual cash flows and sell, the Company assesses whether the cash flows rep-
resent solely payments of principal and interest (the SPPI test) . Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety
when determining whether their cash flows are consistent with the SPPI feature.
In making this assessment, the Company considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, i.e.
interest includes only consideration for credit risk, time value of money, other basic lending risks and profit margin.
Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that is inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the financial
asset is classified and measured at FVTPL. The SPPI assessment is performed on initial recognition of an asset and it is not subsequently
reassessed. However, if the contractual terms of the asset are modified, the Company considers if the contractual cash flows continue to be
consistent with a basic lending arrangement in assessing whether the modification is substantial. See below for “Financial assets – modifi-
cation” .
Financial assets – reclassification. Financial instruments are reclassified only when the business model for managing the portfolio as
a whole changes. The reclassification has a prospective effect and takes place from the beginning of the first reporting period that follows
after the change in the business model . The Company did not change its business model during the current and comparative period and did
not make any reclassifications.
Financial assets – impairment – credit loss allowance for ECL. The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECL for
debt instruments (including loans) measured at AC and FVOCI and for the exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee
contracts . The Company measures ECL and recognises credit loss allowance at each reporting date .
The measurement of ECL reflects:
1) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
2) the time value of money; and
3) all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period about past
events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions .
Debt instruments measured at AC are presented in the separate statement of financial position net of the allowance for ECL.
For financial guarantees a separate provision for ECL is recognised as a financial liability in the separate statement of financial position.
For debt instruments at FVOCI, changes in amortised cost, net of allowance for ECL, are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in
carrying value are recognised in OCI as gains less losses on debt instruments at FVOCI .
The Company applies a “three stage” model for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9, based on changes in credit quality since initial
recognition:
1 . A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in Stage 1. Financial assets in Stage 1 have their ECL
measured at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime ECL that results from default events possible within the next 12 months or until
contractual maturity, if shorter (“12 months ECL”) .
2 .
If the Company identifies a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) since initial recognition, the asset is transferred to Stage 2 and its
ECL is measured based on ECL on a lifetime basis, that is, up until contractual maturity but considering expected prepayments, if any
(“lifetime ECL”) . Refer to Note 17 for a description of how the Company determines when a SICR has occurred .
3 .
If the Company determines that a financial asset is credit-impaired, the asset is transferred to Stage 3 and its ECL is measured as a
lifetime ECL. Refer to Note 17 for a description of how the Company defines credit-impaired assets and default.
Note 17 provides information about inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used in measuring ECL .
Financial assets – write-off. Financial assets are written-off, in whole or in part, when the Company exhausted all practical recovery ef-
forts and has concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The write-off represents a derecognition event. The Company
may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity when the Company seeks to recover amounts that are contractual-
ly due, however, there is no reasonable expectation of recovery .

Notes to the Separate
Financial Statements (Continued)
3 Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Financial assets – derecognition. The Company derecognises financial assets when (a) the assets are redeemed or the rights to cash
flows from the assets otherwise expired or (b) the Company has transferred the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets or entered
into a qualifying pass-through arrangement while (i) also transferring substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the assets or (ii)
neither transferring nor retaining substantially all risks and rewards of ownership, but not retaining control . Control is retained if the coun-
terparty does not have the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party without needing to impose restrictions
on the sale .
Financial assets – modification. The Company sometimes renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual terms of the financial
assets. The Company assesses whether the modification of contractual cash flows is substantial considering, among other, the following
factors: any new contractual terms that substantially affect the risk profile of the asset, significant change in interest rate, change in the cur-
rency denomination, new collateral or credit enhancement that significantly affects the credit risk associated with the asset, or a significant
extension of a loan when the borrower is not in financial difficulties.
If the modified terms are substantially different, the rights to cash flows from the original asset expire and the Company derecognises the
original financial asset and recognises a new asset at its fair value. The date of renegotiation is considered to be the date of initial recogni-
tion for subsequent impairment calculation purposes, including determining whether a SICR has occurred .
The Company also assesses whether the new loan or debt instrument meets the SPPI criterion. Any difference between the carrying amount
of the original asset derecognised and fair value of the new substantially modified asset is recognised in profit or loss, unless the substance
of the difference is attributed to a capital transaction with owners.
In a situation where the renegotiation was driven by financial difficulties of the counterparty and inability to make the originally agreed
payments, the Company compares the original and revised expected cash flows to assets whether the risks and rewards of the asset are
substantially different as a result of the contractual modification. If the risks and rewards do not change, the modified asset is not substan-
tially different from the original asset and the modification does not result in derecognition. The Company recalculates the gross carrying
amount by discounting the modified contractual cash flows by the original effective interest rate, and recognises a modification gain or loss
in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities – measurement categories. Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at AC, except for finan-
cial liabilities at FVTPL: this classification is applied to derivatives, financial liabilities held for trading (e.g. short positions in securities).
Loans and deposit placements with related parties. Loans and deposit placement with related parties are recorded when the
Company advances money to purchase or originate receivable from related party due on fixed or determinable dates and has no intention of
trading the receivable. Loans and deposit placement with related parties are classified within held to collect business model and carried at
amortised cost using effective interest rate if they pass SPPI test. Otherwise loans and deposit placement with related parties are classified
within other business model and carried at fair value through profit or loss. Refer to Note 8 for details of ECL measurement for loans and
deposit placements with related parties .
Financial derivatives. Financial derivatives represented by foreign exchange swaps and forwards are carried at their fair value . Deriv-
atives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value of financial
derivatives are recorded within Net losses from derivatives revaluation . The Company does not apply hedge accounting .
Accounting for leases by the Company as a lessee. Leases, where the Company is the lessee, are recognised as a right-of-use asset
and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company . Each lease payment is allocated
between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period . The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's
useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis .
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis . Lease liabilities include the net present value of the
following lease payments:
•
•
•
•
•
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable under cancellable and non-cancellable
operating leases;
variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate and that are initially measured using the index or rate as at the commence-
ment date;
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease term includes any non-cancellable and optional extension periods which have been assessed as reasonably certain to be
exercised . The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease . If that rate cannot be readily determined, the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain
an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions .
Financial liabilities – derecognition. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished (i .e . when the obligation speci-
fied in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
An exchange between the Company and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as substantial
modifications of the terms and conditions of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial
liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of
any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the
remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
In addition, other qualitative factors, such as the currency that the instrument is denominated in, changes in the type of interest rate, new
conversion features attached to the instrument and change in loan covenants are also considered . If an exchange of debt instruments or
modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the
extinguishment. If the exchange or modification is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying
amount of the liability and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability.
Modifications of liabilities that do not result in extinguishment are accounted for as a change in estimate using a cumulative catch up meth-
od, with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss, unless the economic substance of the difference in carrying values is attributed to a
capital transaction with owners .
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less . Cash and cash equivalents are carried at AC because: (i) they are held for col-
lection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent SPPI, and (ii) they are not designated at FVTPL.
•
•
•
•
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
any initial direct costs; and
dismantling and restoration costs .
As an exception to the above, the Company accounts for short-term leases and leases of low value assets by recognising the lease payments
as an operating expense in profit or loss on a straight line basis. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, and the
lease does not provide for the possibility of repurchase of the asset at the end of the contract . Low value assets are assets with a value of RR
300,000 or less at the date of conclusion of the contract .
Right-of-use assets are included in other non-financial assets, lease liabilities are included in other non-financial liabilities in the separate
statement of financial position. Depreciation of right-of-use assets are recognised in administrative and other operating expenses in the
separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Finance cost is recognised within interest expense of the separate
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Repayment of principal of lease liabilities is disclosed within cash flows from
financing activities of the separate statement of cash flows.
Right-of-use asset are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for impairment of non-financial assets.
Investments in debt securities. Based on the business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics, the Company classifies
investments in debt securities as carried at AC, FVOCI or FVTPL .

Notes to the Separate
Financial Statements (Continued)
3 Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Debt securities are carried at AC if they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and where those cash flows represent SPPI, and
if they are not voluntarily designated at FVTPL in order to significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Debt securities are carried at
FVOCI if they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling, where those cash flows represent SPPI, and if they are not
designated at FVTPL. Interest income from these assets is calculated using the effective interest method and recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment allowance estimated using the expected credit loss model is recognised in profit or loss for the year. All other changes in
the carrying value are recognised in OCI except for net results from operations with foreign currencies and interest income calculated
using the effective interest rate method. When the debt security is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in
OCI is reclassified from OCI to profit or loss.
Investments in debt securities are carried at FVTPL if they do not meet the criteria for AC or FVOCI . The Company may also irrevocably
designate investments in debt securities at FVTPL on initial recognition if applying this option significantly reduces an accounting mismatch
between financial assets and liabilities being recognised or measured on different accounting bases.
Sale and repurchase agreements and lending of securities. Sale and repurchase agreements (“repo agreements”), which ef-
fectively provide a lender’s return to the counterparty, are treated as secured financing transactions. Securities sold under such sale and
repurchase agreements are not derecognised. The securities are not reclassified in the separate statement of financial position unless the
transferee has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the securities, in which case they are reclassified as repurchase receiva-
bles . The corresponding liability is presented within amounts loans received .
Securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repo agreements”), which effectively provide a lender’s return to the Company,
are recorded as loans received. The difference between the sale and repurchase price, adjusted by interest and dividend income collected
by the counterparty, is treated as interest income and accrued over the life of reverse repo agreements using the effective interest method.
Securities lent to counterparties for a fixed fee are retained in the separate financial statements in their original category in the separate
statement of financial position unless the counterparty has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the securities, in which case
they are reclassified and presented separately.
Securities borrowed for a fixed fee are not recorded in the separate financial statements, unless these are sold to third parties, in which
case the purchase and sale are recorded in profit or loss for the year within gains less losses arising from trading securities. The obligation
to return the securities is recorded at fair value in other borrowed funds .
Based on classification of securities sold under the sale and repurchase agreements, the Company classifies repurchase receivables into
one of the following measurement categories: AC, FVOCI or FVTPL .
Investments in equity securities. Financial assets that meet the definition of equity from the issuer’s perspective, i.e. instruments that do not
contain a contractual obligation to pay cash and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer’s net assets, are considered as investments
in equity securities by the Company . Investments in equity securities are measured at FVTPL, except where the Company elects at initial
recognition to irrevocably designate an equity investment at FVOCI . The Company’s policy is to designate equity investments (including In-
vesments in subsidiaries) as FVOCI when those investments are held for strategic purposes other than solely to generate investment returns .
When the FVOCI election is used, fair value gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss,
including on disposal . Impairment losses and their reversals, if any, are not measured separately from other changes in fair value . Dividends
continue to be recognised in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established except when they represent a
recovery of an investment rather than a return on such investment .
Investments in equity securities include investments in subsidiaries . Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which
the Company has control . The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involve-
ment with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In cases of acquisitions of subsidiaries from
entities under common control or subsidiaries of the Company, the cost of acquisition is determined to be the fair value of the investment
acquired as opposed to the transaction price .
Any differences between the transaction price and the fair value of the investment acquired reflect notional contributions/distributions from
entities under common control or subsidiaries and are recognised as such, i .e . directly in equity in cases of transactions with common con-
trol entities and as an additional contribution to or distribution from the subsidiary transferring the investment to the Company .
Debt securities in issue. Debt securities are stated at amortised cost . If the Company purchases its own debt securities in issue, they are
removed from the separate statement of financial position and the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the considera-
tion paid is included in a separate line of the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Other liabilities. Other liabilities are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business
from suppliers. Other liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective inter-
est method .
Income taxes. Income taxes have been provided for in the separate financial statements in accordance with Cyprus legislation enacted
or substantively enacted as of the end of the reporting period . The income tax (charge)/credit comprises current tax and deferred tax and
is recognised in profit or loss for the year except if it is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity because it relates to
transactions that are also recognised, in the same or a different period, in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities in respect of taxable profits or losses for the
current and prior periods . Taxes other than on income are recorded within administrative and other operating expenses .
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with the initial
recognition exemption, deferred taxes are not recorded for temporary differences on initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a trans-
action other than a business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. Deferred
tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period which are expected to apply to
the period when the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry forwards will be utilised. Deferred tax assets for deductible tem-
porary differences and tax loss carry forwards are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the deductions can be utilised .
Deferred income tax is not recognised on post-acquisition retained earnings and other post acquisition movements in reserves of subsidi-
aries where the Company controls the subsidiary’s dividend policy, and it is probable that the difference will not reverse through dividends
or otherwise in the foreseeable future. Provision for deferred tax on the undistributed profits of the Company’s subsidiaries is made when
the dividend payment is probable to be made out of economic resources of the subsidiaries at the reporting date and is recognised in other
comprehensive income. Withholding taxes incurred on actual dividend distributions by subsidiaries are recognised in profit or loss once the
right of dividend income is established .
Uncertain tax positions. The Company’s uncertain tax positions are assessed by management at the end of each reporting period . Lia-
bilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being
levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities . The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period and any known court or other rulings on such issues . Liabilities for penalties,
interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
obligations at the end of the reporting period .
Provisions for liabilities and charges. Provisions for liabilities and charges are non-financial liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. They
are accrued when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resourc-
es embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Levies and charges, such as taxes other than income tax or regulatory fees based on information related to a period before the obligation
to pay arises, are recognised as liabilities when the obligating event that gives rise to pay a levy occurs, as identified by the legislation that
triggers the obligation to pay the levy . If a levy is paid before the obligating event, it is recognised as a prepayment .
Share capital. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds and debited against share premium .
Share premium. Share premium is the difference between the fair value of the consideration receivable for the issue of shares and the
nominal value of the shares . The share premium account can only be resorted to for limited purposes, which do not include the distribution
of dividends, and is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction of share capital .
Treasury shares. Where the Company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, the consideration paid, including any directly
attributable incremental external costs, net of income taxes, is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company until the
equity instruments are reissued, disposed of or cancelled . Where such shares are subsequently disposed of or reissued, any consideration

received is included in equity . The value of GDRs transferred out of treasury shares for the purposes of the long-term incentive programme
for management of the Company are determined based on the weighted average cost .
The Company's equity instruments acquired by employee share trust entity are treated as treasury shares when the Company retains the
majority of the risks and rewards relating to the funding arrangement for the trust entity .
Share-based payments. The Company grants equity settled share based payments to employees of its subsidiary . No share-based
payment charge is recognised as no employees are providing services to the Company . The Company records a debit to the investment in
the subsidiaries as a capital contribution from the parent to the subsidiary and a credit to share-based payment reserve within equity . When
the rewards granted under share-based payment programs vest the Company reclassifies accumulated share based payment reserve to
revaluation reserve .
Dividends. Dividends are recorded in equity in the period in which they are declared . Any dividends declared after the end of the reporting
period and before the separate financial statements are authorised for issue, are disclosed in the Note 22. The separate financial statements of
the Company prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU and in accordance with Cyprus Companies Law is the basis of available
reserves for distribution . Management considers the Revaluation Reserve to be a distributable reserve . Dividend distribution to the Company's
shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company's separate financial statements in the year in which the dividends are appropriately
authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Company. More specifically, interim dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in
which these are authorised by the Board of directors and in the case of final dividends, these are recognised in the period in which these are
approved by the Company's shareholders .
Interest income and expense recognition. Interest income and expense are recorded for all debt instruments, other than those at FVTPL, on
an accrual basis using the effective interest method. This method defers, as part of interest income or expense, all fees paid or received between
the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
Fees integral to the effective interest rate include origination fees received or paid by the entity relating to the creation or acquisition of a
financial asset or issuance of a financial liability. Commitment fees received by the Company to originate loans at market interest rates are
integral to the effective interest rate if it is probable that the Company will enter into a specific lending arrangement and does not expect to
sell the resulting loan shortly after origination. The Company does not designate loan commitments as financial liabilities at FVTPL.
For financial assets that are originated or purchased credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the expected
cash flows (including the initial expected credit losses) to the fair value on initial recognition (normally represented by the purchase price).
As a result, the effective interest is credit-adjusted.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except for:
i . financial assets that have become credit-impaired (Stage 3), for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest
rate to their AC (net of the ECL provision); and
ii . financial assets that are purchased or originated credit-impaired, for which the original credit-adjusted effective interest rate is applied to the AC.
Other income and expense recognition. All other income is generally recorded on an accrual basis by reference to completion of the
specific performance obligation assessed on the basis of measurement of the Company’s progress towards complete satisfaction of that
performance obligation .
All other expenses are generally recorded on an accrual basis by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis
of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided .
Other similar income. Other similar income represents interest income recorded for debt instruments measured at fair value through
profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and is recognised on an accrual basis using nominal interest rate.
Other similar expense. Other similar expense represents finance cost related to the discounted lease payments using the incremental
borrowing rate .
sian Federation . Therefore the functional currency of the Company is the national currency of the Russian Federation, Russian Rouble (“RR”) .
The Russian Rouble is also the presentation currency of the Company .
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities into each entity’s functional currency at
year-end official exchange rates of the CBRF are recognised in profit or loss for the year as Net losses from foreign exchange translation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions with foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss for
the year as Net gains/(losses) from operations with foreign currencies .
At 31 December 2022 the rate of exchange used for translating foreign currency balances was USD 1 = RR 70 .3375 (31 December 2021:
USD 1 = RR 74 .2926), and the average rate of exchange was USD 1 = RR 68 .5494 for the year ended 31 December 2022 (2021: USD 1 =
RR 73 .6541) .
Offsetting. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the separate statement of financial position only when
there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously .
Such a right of set off (a) must not be contingent on a future event and (b) must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances:
(i) in the normal course of business, (ii) the event of default and (iii) the event of insolvency or bankruptcy .
Amendments of the separate financial statements after issue. The Board of directors of the Company has the power to amend the
separate financial statements after issue.
4 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
in Applying Accounting Policies
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the separate financial statements and the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are
based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances . Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the
accounting policies .
Judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the separate financial statements and estimates that can
cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include:
Investments in subsidiaries. The estimated fair value of investments in subsidiaries recognises that the majority of the value of the
Company resides in its main operating subsidiaries . Thus in estimating the fair value of the subsidiaries the primary input is the market
quote of the Company’s GDRs which are traded on the Moscow Stock Exchanges (2021: London and Moscow Stock Exchanges) . Other
inputs include the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities held by the Company other than its investment in the subsidiaries . Re-
fer to Note 19. As a result of the geopolitical tension described in Note 2, quoted prices of GDRs issued by the Company have significant-
ly decreased during 2022 year . Subsequently, trading of GDRs initially placed on the London Stock Exchange had been suspended . As
such, the London Stock Exchange ceased to be a source of market quotes due to a lack of trading volumes necessary to form fair value
estimation . For the purposes of fair value estimation of investments in equity securities the Moscow Stock Exchange quotes were used,
following the principal of IFRS 13 of most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market .
Perpetual subordinated bonds. The Company from time to time invests in perpetual subordinated bonds issued by third parties . The
Company has taken into consideration that there are genuine contingent settlement provisions that could arise and as such has classi-
fied the investments in perpetual subordinated bonds as investments in debt securities on the basis of terms of issue which stipulate the
possible redemption of the instrument in several cases other than liquidation of the issuer .
The investments in these instruments are classified as debt investment securities measured at FVTPL since the analysis of the contrac-
tual cash flow characteristics resulted in acquired perpetual bonds not passing SPPI test. If the Company had recognized this instrument
as equity instrument, then it could have been measured at FVTPL or FVOCI as the Company does not hold it for trading purposes .
Foreign currency translation . Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates . The
Company’s results are dependent upon the receipt of dividends from and the valuation of its primary subsidiaries which operate in the Rus-
Initial recognition of related party transactions. In the normal course of business the Company enters into transactions with its
related parties. IFRS 9 requires initial recognition of financial instruments based on their fair values. Judgement is applied in determining

if transactions are priced at market or non-market interest rates, where there is no active market for such transactions . The basis for
judgement is pricing for similar types of transactions with unrelated parties and effective interest rate analysis. Terms and conditions of
related party balances are disclosed in Note 21 .
Determination of functional currency. The Company follows the guidance of IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange
Rates” for the determination of the functional currency of the Company . The Company’s functional currency is RR .
Tax legislation. Cypriot and Russian tax, currency and customs legislation are subject to varying interpretations . Refer to Note 18 .

In 2021 the Company made non-equity contributions to its subsidiaries . These contributions are recoverable on demand of the Company,
but were expected to be recovered within 5 years . Due to the changes throughout the reporting period in geopolitical environment of the
subsidiaries described in Note 2, Company changed its expected maturity period and overall accounting treatment .
As a result, these contributions were reclassified to other assets. This reclassification did not have an effect on Company’s financial
results .
At 31 December 2021 the deposit placements with subsidiary Bank are represented by three deposits: deposit placement in USD with a
nominal value of RR 118 million at 0 .90% per annum maturing on 10 August 2022, deposit placement in EUR with a nominal value of RR 6
million at 0 .30% per annum maturing on 4 August 2022, deposit placement in RR with a nominal value of RR 1,153 million at 5 .10% per annum
maturing on 24 December 2022 .
Loans and advances at FVTPL represent a loan that does not meet SPPI requirement in EUR with a nominal value of RR 1,459 million at 3 .4%
per annum maturing 14 December 2032 (31 December 2021: RR 3,971 million at 1 .7% per annum maturing on 31 August 2025) .

For the purpose of ECL measurement deposit placements with subsidiary Bank balances are included in Stage 1 . The ECL for these balanc-
es represents an immaterial amount, therefore the Company did not create any credit loss allowance for deposit placements with subsidiary
Bank . Refer to Note 17 for the ECL measurement approach .
As at 31 December 2022 for the purpose of credit risk measurement loans and advances are included in “Monitor” credit risk grade based
on credit risk grade master scale (31 December 2021: same) . Refer to Note 17 for the description of the credit risk grading system .
Refer to Note 19 for the disclosure of the fair value of loans and advances . Interest rate, maturity and geographical risk concentration analy-
sis are disclosed in Note 17 . Information on related party balances is disclosed in Note 21 .

Gains on disposal of qualifying titles (including shares, bonds, debentures, rights thereon etc .) are exempt from Cyprus income tax . At 31
December 2022 and 2021 the Company had no tax losses carried forward .
During 2022 and 2021 there were no temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and their tax bases .
The risk management function within the Company is carried out in respect of financial risks (credit, market, currency, liquidity and interest
rate), operational risks and legal risks. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then
ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits . The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper
functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal risks .
Credit risk. The Company takes on exposure to credit risk which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss
for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the debt financial instruments, cash and
cash equivalents and Company’s lending and other transactions with counterparties giving rise to financial assets.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is reflected in the carrying amounts of financial assets on the separate statement of finan-
cial position . The credit risk is controlled by management of the Company, by approving limits on the level of credit risk by borrowers .
Credit risk grading system. For measuring credit risk and grading financial instruments by the level of credit risk, the Company applies
risk grades estimated by external international rating agencies in case these financial instruments have risk grades estimated by external
international rating agencies (Fitch and in case of their absence - Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s ratings adjusting them to Fitch’s categories
using a reconciliation table):
Master scale credit risk grade
Excellent
Good
Monitor
Sub-standard
Doubtful
Corresponding interval
PD < 0 .1%
with PD range of or equal to 0 .1% and less than 2 .5%
PD in the range of or equal to 2 .5% and less 12 .5%
PD in the range of or equal to 12 .5% and less 18 .5%
PD in the range of or equal to 18 .5% and less 30%

17 Financial Risk Management
Each master scale credit risk grade is assigned a specific degree of creditworthiness:
• Excellent – high credit quality with lowest or very low expected credit risk;
• Good – good credit quality with currently low expected credit risk;
• Monitor – adequate credit quality with a moderate credit risk;
• Sub-standard – moderate credit quality with a satisfactory credit risk;
• Doubtful – facilities that require closer monitoring and remedial management; and
For measuring credit risk and grading those financial instruments which do not have risk grades estimated by external international rating
agencies, the Company applies risk grades and the corresponding range of probabilities of default (PD):
Master scale credit risk grade
Corresponding interval
Excellent
Good
Monitor
Sub-standard
NPL
non-overdue for the last 12 months with PD < 5% or with early repayments
all other non-overdue loans
1-30 days overdue
31-90 days overdue
90+ days overdue
12-month ECL – the portion of lifetime ECLs that represent the ECLs resulting from default events on a financial instrument that are possi-
ble within 12 months after the reporting date that are limited by the remaining contractual life of the financial instrument.
Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) – a coefficient that shows that the probability of conversion of an off-balance sheet amount to exposure
on the statement of financial position within a defined period. It can be calculated for a 12-month or lifetime period. Based on the analysis
performed, the Company considers that 12-month and lifetime CCFs are the same .
Default and credit-impaired assets – assets for which a default event has occurred .
The default definition stated above should be applied to all types of financial assets of the Company. An instrument is considered to no
longer be in default (i .e . to have “cured”) when it no longer meets any of the default criteria .
Significant increase in credit risk (SICR) – the SICR assessment is performed on an individual basis for all financial assets by mon-
itoring the triggers stated below . The criteria used to identify SICR are monitored and reviewed periodically for appropriateness by the
Company’s Risk Management Department .
The Company considers a financial instrument to have experienced a SICR when one or more of the following quantitative, qualitative or
backstop criteria have been met:
• 30 days past due;
• award of risk grade “Doubtful”;
• decrease of assigned external rating by 2 notches, which corresponds to an approximate increase of PD by 2 .5 times .
If the SICR criteria are no longer met, the instrument will be transferred back to Stage 1
Each master scale credit risk grade is assigned a specific degree of creditworthiness:
General principle of techniques applied
• Excellent – strong credit quality with minimum expected credit risk;
• Good – adequate credit quality with low expected credit risk;
• Monitor – adequate credit quality with a moderate credit risk;
• Sub-standard – low credit quality with a substantial credit risk;
• NPL – financial instruments for which a default has occured
For financial assets, ECLs are generally measured based on the risk of default over one of two different time periods, depending on whether
or not the credit risk of the borrower has increased significantly since initial recognition.
This approach can be summarised in a three-stage model for ECL measurement:
• Stage 1 – a financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition and its credit risk has not increased significantly since
The rating models are regularly reviewed by the Credit Risk Department, backtested on actual default data and updated if necessary .
initial recognition, the loss allowance is based on 12-month ECLs;
Expected credit loss (ECL) measurement – definitions and description of estimation techniques. ECL ECL is a probability-
weighted estimate of the present value of future cash shortfalls (i .e . the weighted average of credit losses, with the respective risks of de-
fault occurring in a given time period used as weights) . ECL measurement is based on the following components used by the Company:
Default occurs when a financial asset is 90 days past due.
Probability of Default (PD) – an estimate of the likelihood of default to occur over a given time period .
Exposure at Default (EAD) – an estimate of exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in exposure after the
reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, and expected drawdowns on committed facilities .
Loss Given Default (LGD) – an estimate of the loss arising on default as a percentage of the EAD. It is based on the differ-
ence between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company would expect to receive.
Discount Rate – a rate to discount an expected loss to its present value at the reporting date. The discount rate represents the effective
interest rate (EIR) for the financial instrument or an approximation thereof.
Lifetime period – the maximum period over which ECL should be measured. For financial instruments held by the Company the lifetime
period is equal to contractual maturity of the respective financial instruments.
Lifetime ECL – losses that result from all possible default events over the remaining lifetime period of the financial instrument.
• Stage 2 – if since the date, which was assumed to be the date of initial recognition has identified a SICR, the financial instrument is
moved to Stage 2 but is not yet deemed to be credit-impaired, the loss allowance is based on lifetime ECLs;
• Stage 3 – if the financial instrument is credit-impaired or restructured, the financial instrument is then moved to Stage 3 and the loss
allowance is based on lifetime ECLs .
The Company carries out the following approach for ECL measurement:
• For financial instruments which have external ratings – assessment based on external ratings;
• For financial instruments which do not have external ratings – assessment based on discounted cash flow technique.
Principles of assessment based on external ratings – the principles of ECL calculations based on external ratings are the same as for
their assessment on a portfolio basis . Credit risk parameters (PD and LGD) are taken from the default and recovery statistics published by
international rating agencies (Fitch and in case of their absence – Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s) .
Market risk. The Company takes on exposure to market risks . Market risks arise from open positions in (a) currency, (b) interest rate and (c)
equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. Management sets limits on the value of risk that may
be accepted, which are monitored on a daily basis . However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the
event of more significant market movements.
Currency risk. In respect of currency risk, the management sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight
and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily .

of its own estimates and internal professional advice management is of the opinion that no material losses will be incurred in respect of any
current or potential claims and accordingly no provision has been made in these separate financial statements.
Taxation. Cypriot tax legislation is subject to varying interpretations . There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain . The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional
taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences
will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made . The Company is
incorporated outside Russia. Tax liabilities of the Company are determined on the assumption that it is not subject to Russian profits tax
because it does not have a permanent establishment in Russia. The Company is a tax resident of Cyprus only and full beneficial owner of the
Bank and Insurance Company . This interpretation of relevant legislation may be challenged but the impact of any such challenge cannot be
reliably estimated currently; however, it may be significant to the financial position and/or the overall operations of the Company.
19 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: (i) level one are measurements at quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements are valuation techniques with all material inputs
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three measure-
ments are valuations not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) .
(a) Recurring fair value measurements
Recurring fair value measurements are those that the accounting standards require or permit in the separate statement of financial position
at the end of each reporting period . The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the recurring fair value measurements are categorised
are as follows:

ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE
The estimated fair value of investments in subsidiaries
recognises that the majority of the value of the Company
resides in its main operating subsidiaries . Thus in estimat-
ing the fair value of the subsidiaries the primary input is the
market quote of the Company’s GDRs which are traded on
the London and Moscow Stock Exchanges . Other inputs
include the estimated fair value of the assets and liabili-
ties held by the Company other than its investment in the
subsidiaries

There were no changes in the valuation techniques for level 2 recurring fair value measurements during the years ended 31 December 2022
and 2021 .
At 31 December 2022 if market quote of GDR of the Company at that date had been 65% higher/lower (2021: 70% higher/lower), with all
other variables held constant, the fair value of the investments in equity securities would have been RR 328,381 million higher/lower (2021:
RR 868,537 million higher/lower) .

The fair values in level 2 and level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were estimated using the discounted cash flows valuation technique. The fair
value of floating rate instruments that are not quoted in an active market was estimated to be equal to their carrying amount. The fair value of
unquoted fixed interest rate instruments was estimated based on estimated future cash flows expected to be received discounted at current
interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity .
20 Presentation of Financial Instruments by Measurement Category
For the purposes of measurement, IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” classifies financial assets into the following categories: (a) financial
assets at FVTPL; (b) financial assets at FVOCI and (c) financial assets at AC. Financial assets at FVTPL have two sub-categories: (i) assets
measured at FVTPL mandatorily, and (ii) assets designated as such upon initial recognition .
The following table provides a reconciliation of classes of financial assets with these measurement categories as of 31 December 2022:

In 2022 the total remuneration of Directors listed in the Board of directors and other officers amounted to RR 40.0 million (2021: RR 60.0 million).
Management long-term incentive program . On 31 March 2016 the Group introduced a MLTIP as both a long-term incentive and a retention
tool for the management of the Group . Total number of GDRs attributable to the management is 21,533 thousand as at 31 December 2022
(2021: 17,241 thousand) .
Participants of the program receive the vested parts of their grants provided that they remain employed by the Group throughout the vesting period .
Participants are entitled to the dividends, if any . Participants who leave the Group lose their right for the unvested parts of the grants .
The fair value of the awards as at grant dates, each year during 2016-2022, is determined on the basis of market quotes of GDRs as at those
dates . Weighted-average fair value of the awards in 2022 was USD 3 .2 per 1 GDR (2021: USD 87 per 1 GDR) . In 2022, the grants introduced
during 2016-2020 have been fully vested .
Each grant provided in 2021 and 2022 is vested over 5 years . The delivery dates as of which the GDRs are allowed to be sold by the partic-
ipants correspond to the vesting dates, each subsequent 31 August until 2026 for 2021 grants and each subsequent 31 May until 2027 for
2022 grants .

22 Events after the End of the Reporting Period
On 25 February 2023, the subsidiary of the Company, JSC Tinkoff Bank (the Bank) became subject to an asset freeze in the EU under the
Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2023/429, implementing Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 (the "EC Regulation 269").
The Company and its controlled subsidiary undertakings (other than the Bank and any controlled subsidiary undertakings of the Bank) are
not subject to an asset freeze pursuant to EC Regulation 269 or to other EU sanctions .
As a result of the event described in the first paragraph, the operations of the Company and its Russia-based investments could be impacted
by the freezing of bank accounts, restrictions on capital movements outside the Russian Federation which could impact the ability of the
Company’s investments to make payments to the Company or to make payments between bank accounts of the Company in the Russian
Federation and abroad, the impairment of assets, the fair value losses of financial and non-financial assets; and the expected credit losses
on financial assets.
Due to the sanctions imposed in relation to the Bank, some payment orders have been put on hold by the servicing bank . Also the Company’s
payable to the Bank, with maturity from 1 to 5 years as at the reporting date, can be repaid by the Company only when it becomes legally
permissible to do so .
The situation is still evolving and further sanctions and limitations on business activity of companies operating in the region, as well as
consequences on the Russian economy in general, may arise but the full nature and possible effects of these are unknown. It is not possible
for management to predict with any degree of certainty the impact of this uncertainty on the future operations of the Company and its sub-
sidiaries and estimate their financial effect.
The management is currently assessing the impact of the aforesaid sanctions to the Company’s and the broader group’s operations, finan-
cial position, and performance, including the impact to the existing MLTIP scheme and other intra-group transactions and balances .
The Board of Directors continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements as the Company has no sig-
nificant external liabilities and is able to control its discretionary spending. The Board of Directors is closely monitoring the situation and
obtains legal advice in this respect and is ready to act depending on the developments .
The event did not exist in the reporting period and is therefore not reflected in the recognition and measurement of the assets and liabilities
in the financial statements as at 31 December 2022 as it is considered as a non-adjusting event.
There were no other material events after the reporting date, which have a bearing on the understanding of the financial statements.
