Address from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

Dear Esteemed Shareholders,

We would like to emphasise the priorities of 2023 that will remain relevant in the years ahead .

This is my first time addressing you in my capacity as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, which saw significant transformations  
in 2023 .  Allow me to extend profound appreciation on behalf of the Board of Directors to all members of the Board whose dedication has 
served as the cornerstone of our Group's achievements throughout the years .

The first and foremost is the relocation of the headquarters to the Russian jurisdiction . All preparatory measures were completed throughout 
2023, and in early 2024, a new chapter began in Tinkoff's history as a public company . This decision will help strengthen corporate govern-
ance, expand opportunities for inorganic growth and distribution of profits among shareholders .

In 2023, our Board of Directors and management meticulously scrutinised the developmental trajectories of our Group . This thorough 
assessment encompassed our past accomplishments and a contemplation of future avenues, taking into account the economic and ge-
opolitical landscapes . In early 2024, in alignment with your esteemed selves, we collectively decided to relocate the headquarters from 
the Republic of Cyprus to the Russian Federation . The successful redomiciliation of our Group and the establishment of a full-fledged 
corporate governance framework have empowered us to launch strategic initiatives aimed at outperforming business  
expansion, including inorganic growth .

Despite the uncertainties of the external environment, 2023 proved the soundness of the strategic path charted in 2021 . Our unwavering 
commitment to customer-centricity, technological innovation, and financial resilience continues to serve as the bedrock of our endeav-
ors . The Tinkoff Group has laid a sturdy groundwork for further solidification of its foothold in the Russian financial landscape and aims 
to further increase its market share and return on equity .

Alexey Malinovskiy,

Chairman of the Board, TCS GROUP HOLDING PLC

Address from the CEO/Chairman of the Management Board

Dear Esteemed Shareholders, Partners, Customers, and Colleagues,

In April 2021, we laid out Tinkoff's strategic vision to 2023, with a commitment to doubling the size of the business . It is with great pride that 
we report the accomplishment of this objective, surpassing even our most ambitious projections .

The Tinkoff customer base has now exceeded 40 million individuals, with 28 million active customers . This broad clientele has enabled us  
to efficiently expand the cross-selling of products within our ecosystem . The average number of products per customer has risen from  
1 .5 in 2022 to 1 .8 in 2023, including profitable loan products .

The Group's net profit nearly quadrupled YoY compared to 2022 and soared to nearly 81 billion rubles, marking a historic high for Tinkoff .  
Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions and increased funding expenses, we delivered growth in return on equity and earned  
a 33 .5% ROE, once again accentuating the resilience of our business model .

The loan portfolio surged by more than 1 .5 times YoY compared to 2022, surpassing the 1 trillion ruble milestone . By the end of 2023, we 
ranked 4th in the country in terms of retail loan portfolio size . Tinkoff’s non-interest income exceeded 50% in 2023, underscoring our suc-
cessful revenue diversification efforts .

In 2023, capitalising on higher interest rates, we intensified our focus on deepening out penetration into our customers' “savings wallets” . 
Tinkoff managed to increase the total customers’ funds in the bank to 1 .7 trillion rubles, and with the funds invested by customers in our 
brokerage business, it reached 2 .5 trillion rubles .

Tinkoff also continued to expand its range of financial services for entrepreneurs, leading to a rise in Tinkoff Business's active base to 700 
thousand customers . By the end of the year, the small and medium enterprise segment had brought together more than 1 .2 million clients 
with a total cash balance of 268 billion rubles in their accounts . In late 2023, Tinkoff launched a merchant lending service on all major mar-
ketplaces, and the loan portfolio grew fourfold compared to 2022 .

The second priority is the implementation of machine learning and robotisation to enhance the customer experience and operational effi-
ciency of business . In 2023, we continued our work on specialised Large Language Models to widely integrate artificial intelligence into our 
ecosystem products . Our aim is to develop specialised technologies to compete where it is truly necessary .

We take pride in leading in fraud protection technologies and enhancing the reliability of our ecosystem for customers . We launched  
the market's first service to protect against phone scammers with refunds — "Protect or Refund ." The bank's and Tinkoff Mobile operator's 
protective technologies allow us to detect fraud during phone conversations with over 99% probability . We are so confident in our product's 
quality that we guarantee compensation for losses in the event that customers still become prey to fraudulent activities .

The third priority is the importance of talents, recruiting, and retaining the best specialists . In 2023, Tinkoff became a partner of the Central 
University — the first private university in Russia based on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) model .  This com-
bines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to create a holistic approach to education . The university will help train human 
resources for the Russian IT sector, including Tinkoff .

We also continue to actively collaborate with leading universities, IT summer schools, and math competitions to attract highly qualified pro-
fessionals . To support our employees' growth, we offer extensive training and wellbeing support programmes, a flexible working environ-
ment, and cultivate a strong corporate culture at Tinkoff .

Once again, the achievements of 2023 were made possible by the teams that made the impact of sanctions imperceptible to customers and 
developed innovative solutions for the market .

As a responsible corporate citizen, we strive to support vulnerable and socially disadvantaged segments of the population . In 2023, through 
joint initiatives with charitable and educational organisations, the Group and its customers invested 3 .1 billion rubles in Russian non-profit 
organisations . Our genuine interest in addressing current social issues combined with cutting-edge technologies enables us to fulfil our 
mission and have a positive impact on society .

Given our exceptional performance in 2023, we expect to maintain our outperforming business growth rates, high return on equity and 
maximise Tinkoff's shareholder value .

Stanislav Blizniuk,

CEO/Chairman of the Management Board, Tinkoff Bank JSC

FINANCIAL REPORTSTRATEGIC REPORTMANAGEMENT REPORTTCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 202331 DECEMBER 2023

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 2023 .

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 financial servic-
es, 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 
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 2023 
in accordance with IFRS 10 definition of control the Group has 
no ultimate controlling party (refer to Note 3) .

Changes in the Group’s structure

3 .  On 15 January 2024, at an Extraordinary General Meeting, the 
Company’s shareholders approved the deregistering of the 
Company from the Register of the Registrar of Companies in 
Cyprus and the registering of the Company as a continuing 
company in the Russian Federation (redomiciliation) in the 
form of international public joint-stock company without being 
dissolved and without being re-incorporated . On the same 
date, the shareholders also approved amendments to the Com-
pany’s Articles of Association that allow the parent structure 
to continue operating in the jurisdiction other than Cyprus . 
For further information about redomiciliation, please refer to 
the section below “Any important events for the Group that 
occurred after the end of the financial year" in the Consolidated 
Management Report .

4 . 

In November 2023 the Group established a new company, LLC 
“Tinkoff Insurance Future”, which is part of an insurance group 
with JSC “Tinkoff Insurance”.

Review of developments, position and 
performance of the Group’s business

5 .  The Group operates a flexible business model. Its virtual net-

work 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, com-
bined with the Bank’s virtual network, afford it a geographic 
reach across Russia resulting in a highly diversified portfolio.

6 .  The Bank is included to the Bank of Russia’s list of systemically 
important banking institutions due to 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 regulatory minimums 
and intends to continue meeting all applicable requirements 
comfortably .

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) (Note 
22) . The Insurance Company focuses on online sales .

8 .  Since February 2022 the economic situation in the Russian 
Federation has been and is still affected by the escalated 
military and political conflict and the associated international 
sanctions against a number of Russian institutions, companies, 
banks and individuals . In 2023, the following sanctions were 
imposed on the Bank:

•  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") . 

•  On 19 May 2023, the Bank became subject to an asset 

freeze in the UK under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regu-
lations 2019 (S .I . 2019/855) . 

•  On 20 July 2023, the Bank became subject of the USA and 

Canada updated sanctions list .

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 stated above 
regulations . Taking into account the consequences of sanctions, 
management of the Group continues the transformation of the busi-
ness and operating models to improve the efficiency of processes 
and the profitability of products.

9 .  As a result of the sanctions, the Bank’s ability to make interest 
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 two coupon periods (March and June 2023) 
under its Eurobonds to avoid discrimination between bond-
holders and to focus on finding a practical and lawful solution 
to remedy this situation by the time of the next scheduled 
coupon payment . On 20 September and 20 December 2023 the 
Group resumed payment of coupons for the 3rd and 4th quar-

ters in fulfilment of its obligations under a subordinated loan 
notes to the holders whose rights are recorded in the Russian 
depository infrastructure. The fulfilment of Eurobond coupon 
payment obligations to holders whose rights are registered in 
foreign depository infrastructure or foreign brokers remains 
technically impossible due to imposed sanctions . The Group is 
exploring all options available in the current circumstances for 
making payments to all categories of investors . 

On 27 November 2023 the Group replaced USD 146 .2 million 
of Eurobonds issued in 2017 . The replacement share repre-
sents 48 .74% of the original volume with a nominal value of 
USD 300 million, with coupon rate of 11 .99% and no stated 
maturity .  

On 30 November 2023 the Group replaced USD 288 .7 million 
of Eurobonds issued in 2021 . The replacement share rep-
resents 48 .11% of the original volume with a nominal value 
of USD 600 million, with coupon rate of 6 .0% and no stated 
maturity . 

Holders of Eurobonds whose rights are recorded in the 
Russian depositories may participate in the replacement . The 
nominal, coupon rate and maturity of the replacement bonds 
remained the same . All coupon payments on replacement 
bonds will be made in Russian rubles at the Central Bank 
exchange rate on the payment date .

10 .  In terms of financial performance the profit of the Group for the 

year ended 31 December 2023 was RR 80,932 million (2022: 
RR 20,760 million). Such a strong increase in profit by 290%, 
on the one side, was driven by the growth of loan portfolio 
and expansion of our customer base, on the other side, by the 
recovery after a year of adaptation to sanctions and new oper-
ating environment caused by geopolitical tensions and macro-
economic uncertainty in 2022 . Net interest income increased 
by 60% to RR 230,323 million (2022: 8 .66% to RR 143,897 
million) . The Group’s net loan portfolio increased by 60% 
year-on-year to RR 972,412 million (2022: RR 606,455 million), 
while the gross loan portfolio grew by 53% to RR 1,121,435 
million (2022: RR 732,185 million) . The 90 days plus overdue 
loans ratio (“NPL”) decreased to 9 .5% as at 31 December 2023 
(2022: 12 .1%) .  Cost of risk was 6 .2% as at 31 December 2023, 
down from 9 .9% in the end of 2022 . 

Total operating expenses increased by 30% in 2023 (2022: 
24%), driven by Group’s long-term strategy to expand customer 
base and investments in IT platforms and personnel .

Environmental matters

11 .  The Group, an online-only financial institution, prioritizes 

addressing climate change and integrating sustainability into 
our business practices . We also adhere to the precautionary 
principle, taking proactive measures to minimize potential en-
vironmental impacts and ensuring responsible decision-mak-
ing in the face of uncertain or emerging risks .

12 .  The Group aligns with global standards such as the United 
Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) . 
Our Sustainability Reports are prepared in line with leading 
GRI and SASB standards, and we follow the Partnership for 
Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) and the Task Force on 
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We use the GHG 
Protocol methodology to analyze emissions .

13 .  The Group conducts assessments of both physical and tran-
sitional climate risks . This involves evaluating the likelihood 
and impacts of climate-related risks within specific countries 
and sectors . Our existing methodology for assessing climate 
risks is constantly being revised and enhanced to align with a 
more comprehensive understanding of the industry's factors 
influencing climate risks and the associated consequences.

14 .  As of December 31, 2023, we considered the RCP8 .5 IPCC AR5 
scenario as the current and most likely scenario for mid-term 
(until 2040) physical climate change .

15 .  The Group is committed to environmental conservation and 
climate action, actively contributing to sustainable business 
practices and a healthier planet .

Human resources

16 .  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 applies all types of 
forums to promote continual dialogue – such as email, online 
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 .

17 .  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 .

18 .  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 each year by adding new 
participants to the program . 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 pro-

motions 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 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 2 .7% of the Group’s share capital as at 31 December 2023 
(2022: 3 .5%) .

These risks as well as other risks and uncertainties which affect 
the Group and how these are managed, are presented in Notes 
26 and 28 of the consolidated financial statements.

23 .  Analysis of impact of the current geopolitical situation in the 

region on the Group is disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated 
financial statements.

consolidated financial statements.

19 .  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 environ-

Principal risks and uncertainties

20 .  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.

21 .  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 .

22 .  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 
of the operating companies in Russia as well as the Board of di-
rectors 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 in-
tended 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 Group's activities . 

Future developments 

25 .  The Group's strategic objective is to grow its customer base 

profitably by building the most comprehensive, engaging, 
innovative, and sustainable financial and lifestyle ecosystem 
in the world .

Results

26 .  The Group’s results for the year are set out on page 2 of the 

consolidated financial statements.

27 .  There were no dividends declared or paid by the Company

form of international public joint-stock company without being 
dissolved and without being re-incorporated . The vast majority 
of the Company's assets are located and generate revenue

mately 35 .08% of the outstanding shares in the Company . The

0 .3% (2022: 0 .3%) of the issued shares .

its willingness to remain in office for the statutory audit of the 
Company’s consolidated and separate financial statements for 
the year ended 31 December 2023 and to not seek re-appoint-
ment as the Company’s statutory auditor . The shareholders 
at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) authorized the Board of 
directors to approve the remuneration in accordance with their 
terms of engagement .

Going concern

44 .  The Directors have access to all information necessary to

following a review of the Group’s business plan and budget 
for 2024-2025, including cash flows and funding facilities, 
the Directors consider that the Group has adequate resourc-
es to continue in operation for the foreseeable future . This 
assessment was made based on the information available to

registered as a continuing company in the Russian Federation 
(redomiciliation) in the form of international public joint-stock

porated .

Consolidated  
Management Report (Continued)

the admission of the GDRs to trading on the LSE’s main market for 
listed securities have been canceled .

The Group has established four Committees of the Board. Specific 
responsibilities have been delegated to those committees as 
described below .

The Company was required until 31 January 2024 to comply with 
the UK corporate governance regime to the extent it applies to 
foreign issuers of GDRs listed on the London Stock Exchange . The 
Company has not adopted corporate governance measures of the 
same standard in all respects as those adopted by UK incorporated 
companies or companies with a premium listing on the London 
Stock Exchange .

As the shares themselves are not listed on the Cyprus Stock 
Exchange, the Cypriot corporate governance regime, which only 
relates to companies that are listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange, 
does not apply to the Company and accordingly the Company does 
not monitor its compliance with that regime .

The Board is required to undertake a formal and rigorous review 
annually of its own performance, that of its committees and of its 
individual directors . That review was recently initiated, in-house, in 
relation to 2023, looking at overall performance . All directors were 
invited to provide feedback on the Board’s, the committees’ and in-
dividual director’s performance .  Analysis of the resultant feedback 
will be discussed at a meeting of the Board of directors scheduled 
for early 2024 .

The Board has not appointed a senior independent director . As of 
the year ended 2023 there were three independent non-executive 
directors, of whom at least one must retire each year .

All shares are ordinary shares, each ranking pari passu for all pur-
poses and in all respects with all other existing shares .

Number of directors

The Company’s Home State, for EU regulatory purposes, is Cyprus.

A description of the terms and conditions of the GDRs can be found 
at “Terms and Conditions of the Global Depositary Receipts”, 
“Summary of the Provisions relating to the GDRs whilst still in Master 
Form” and “Description of Arrangements to Safeguard the Rights of 
the Holders of the GDRs” in the Prospectus issued by the Company 
dated 22 October 2013 and on the website at www .tcsgh .com .cy . 

Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company in general 
meeting, the number of directors shall be no less than two .

The Articles of Association of the Company provide for the retire-
ment by rotation of one-third (or if their number is not a multiple of 
three, the number nearest to three but not exceeding one-third) of 
directors at each AGM . 

Copies of the Articles of Association of the Company adopted on 
21 November 2023, the terms of reference of the Committees, and 
other corporate governance related as well as investor relations 
related materials can also be found on the website www .tink-
off-group.com, at the Company’s main website www.tcsgh.com.cy 
and at the official site of the Department of Registrar of Companies, 
Cyprus (http://www .mcit .gov .cy) .

The Board of directors

The role of the Board is to provide entrepreneurial leadership to 
the Group within a framework of prudent and effective controls 
which enable risk to be assessed and managed . The Board sets the 
Group’s strategic objectives, ensures that the necessary financial 
and human resources are in place for the Group to meet its objec-
tives and reviews management’s performance . The Board also sets 
the Group’s values and standards and ensures that its obligations 
towards the shareholders and other stakeholders are understood 
and met . The Board operates under a formal schedule of matters 
reserved to the Board for its decision making process, adopted in 
2013 .

The authorities of the members of the Board are specified by the 
Articles of Association of the Company and by law . The current

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 2023, 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 133 and comprise:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023;

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 material accounting policy information.

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 remained independent of the Group throughout the period of our appointment 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 requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Cyprus and 
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 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 state-
ments. In particular, we considered where the Board of Directors made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant account-
ing 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

Audit scope

•  Overall group materiality: Russian Rubles (“RR”) 5 680 million, which repre-

sents 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:

•  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” .

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 5 680 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 284 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 medi-
um-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.  

F-13

F-14

TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2023The Insurance business comprises primarily 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 .

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 .

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

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 de-
scribed in more detail in Note 35 “Material Accounting 
Policy Information” and Note 26 “Financial and Insur-
ance 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 defaulted 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-looking 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 prob-
abilities based on actual movements into the Stage 3 category of loans in 2023 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 effective-
ness 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- im-
paired loans .

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

We assessed the appropriateness of the applied methodology for the post model 
accounting adjustments and assessed the appropriateness and reasonableness 
of the source data used, the key assumptions made and consistency with prior 
periods in the context of the economic environment that is affected by the overall 
geopolitical situation in the region . 

We assessed if the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements com-
ply with the relevant accounting standards in terms of completeness and accuracy .

The results of the above procedures were satisfactory for the purposes of our audit .

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 .

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 accordance 
with IFRSs 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 

F-15

F-16

TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2023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 .

•  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.

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures 

made by the Board of Directors .

• 

• 

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 .

•  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 inde-
pendence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
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 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 deter-
mine 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

ed 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 .

Introduction

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted 
by the European Union (“IFRS”) for the year ended 31 December 2023 for TCS Group Holding PLC (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries 
(together referred to as the “Group”), and in accordance with the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap .113 .

The Company was incorporated, and is domiciled, in Cyprus in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, Cap . 113 .

On 15 January 2024 at an Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the deregistering of the Company from 
the Register of the Registrar of Companies in Cyprus and the registering of the Company as a continuing company in the Russian Feder-
ation (redomiciliation) in the form of international public joint-stock company without being dissolved and without being re-incorporated . 
On the same date, the shareholders also approved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association that allow the parent structure 
to continue operating in the jurisdiction other than Cyprus .

Till 14 December 2023 the Company Secretary was Caelion Secretarial Limited, 25 Spyrou Araouzou, 25 Berengaria, 5th floor, Limassol 
3036, Cyprus . Since 14 December 2023 the Company Secretary is Paula Tanasie, Ellanikou Street, Myria Court, 102, 3071, Limassol, 
Cyprus .

At 31 December 2023 the share capital of the Company is comprised of ordinary shares (31 December 2022: same) . Each ordinary 
share has a nominal value of USD 0 .04 per share and carries one vote . As at 31 December 2023 the number of issued ordinary shares is 
199,305,492 (31 December 2022: same) . Refer to Note 18 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 2023 in accordance with IFRS 10 definition of 
control the Group has no ultimate controlling party (31 December 2022: same) . Refer to Note 3 for further information .

On 28 April 2022 The New Rigi Trust, a major shareholder of the Company, disposed of its entire interest in the Company . IC “Interros 
Capital”, 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 IC 
“Interros Capital”, became a minority shareholder with a total shareholding of 35.08%. The free float of the Company amounts to approx-
imately 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 were issued up until 31 January 2024 under a deposit agreement made between the Company and JPMor-
gan Chase Bank, N .A . (JPM) signed in October 2013 .

The Company has notified JPM, the depositary bank for the GDRs, of its intention to change the depositary bank. RCS Issuer Services 
S .AR .L . ("RCS") has been selected as the new depositary bank .

Following the delisting of the Company’s GDRs from the LSE and until the termination of the GDR program, these securities outside 
Russia will only be available for over-the-counter (OTC) transactions . In fact, this situation existed since 03 March 2022, when the LSE 
suspended trading of the Company's GDRs . At the same time, the Company is taking measures to ensure that the GDRs continue to be 
traded on the Moscow Exchange .

Following the Company's registration as International Public Joint-Stock Company TCS Holding in Russian Federation the Company will 
be required to take steps to discontinue its GDR program. TCS Holding shares will be listed on the Moscow Exchange.

GDRs accountable for within Russian depositories will be automatically converted into TCS Holding shares in accordance with the pro-
cedure and terms approved by the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation .

GDRs accountable for within foreign depositories are not subject to the procedure of automatic conversion of GDRs into TCS Holding 
shares. Voluntary conversion must be carried out with the assistance of investors’ brokerage firm and/or depositary bank. A GDR holder 
whose rights are accountable for by a foreign depositary may have to apply for a forced conversion of the GDRs . GDR holders may claim 
compensation if GDRs are not converted .  

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 2023 and 2022 .

2  Operating Environment of the Group

Russian Federation. The Russian Federation displays certain characteristics of an emerging market . Its economy is particularly sensi-
tive to oil and gas prices . The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue to develop and are subject to frequent changes and varying 
interpretations . 

In 2023, a significant geopolitical tension persisted. Some countries introduced and continue introducing significant sanctions against 
Russian individuals and legal entities, including major Russian companies and entire industries, which resulted in disruptions in the 
global financial markets. Moreover, a number of multinational groups suspended or terminated their business activity in the Russian 
Federation. Despite the trade volume recovery, the financial and commodity markets continue to demonstrate instability. 

In 2023, the Russian economy demonstrated a recovery, with a growth of GDP by 5.1%. To limit inflation risks (up to 7.4% in the end of 
2023) in the context of gradual recovery of economic activity, the Central Bank of Russian Federation more than once increased the 
key rate: on 24 July 2023 – from 7,5% to 8,5%, on 15 August 2023 – from 8,5% to 12%, on 18 September 2023 – from 12% to 13%, on 
27 October 2023 – from 13% to 15%, on 18 December 2023 – from 15% to 16% .  In 2023, the exchange rates to Russian ruble increased 
significantly compared to the exchange rates valid at 31 December 2022.

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 the 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 to create a provision for impairment for these blocked amounts . Refer to Note 11 .

On 2 November 2023, the US Treasury imposed sanctions against the St . Petersburg Exchange and added it to the SDN list . As a result, 
the Group transferred blocked funds in central counterparty St. Petersburg clearing to other financial assets and created a provision for 
impairment for these blocked amounts . Refer to Note 11 .

Statements” definition of control the Group has no ultimate controlling party.

On 25 February 2023, the international sanctions list was expanded, with the Bank becoming 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 . 

On 19 May 2023, the Bank became subject to an asset freeze in the UK under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S .I . 
2019/855) . 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 stated above Regulations S .I . 2019/855 . 

On 20 July 2023, the Bank became subject of the USA and Canada updated sanctions list .

Taking into account the consequences of sanctions and risks, the transformation of business and operating models continues to improve 
the efficiency of processes and the profitability of products.

As of 31 December 2023 the Group complied with all the required ratios including capital adequacy and liquidity ratios . The Group has 
formed a liquidity reserve in advance, including cash balances in Russian rubles and foreign currencies, which will ensure the stability 
of the customer service and stability of the Group . All necessary measures have been taken to ensure uninterrupted non-cash payments 
and meet the needs of the Group's customers, backing ATMs with cash banknotes .

Depending on the stress scenario, the Group provides for liquidity recovery plan that includes a wide range of measures aimed at pro-
tecting funds, assets and interests of the customers, as well as ensuring the regular operation of all functions .

The Group maintains adequate capital and liquidity levels and closely monitors its foreign exchange position and cash flows, also it has 
all the necessary technological capabilities for maintaining of its operations without interruptions .

The Group regularly performs stress testing of its business to assess the sustainability of its liquidity and capital positions . These tests 
demonstrate that the 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 the management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the 
existing 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 recognized in the consolidated financial state-
ments and estimates that can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year 
include: 

Ultimate controlling party. As per IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, 
or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over 
the investee . Control is presumed to exist when an investor holds, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, 50% or more of the voting 
power of the investee . In cases where the investor’s shareholding is less than 50%, judgement is required in determining whether the 
investor exercises control on the investee . In performing this assessment, the Management considers the investor’s representation in 
the board of directors or other governing body of the Group which could impact the investor’s voting rights, the investor’s participation 
in policy-making processes and exercise of the voting rights at the Group’s general meetings of shareholders, including participation in 
decisions about dividends and other distributions as well as any material transactions .

In making this judgment, Management considered that the Group’s directors have sole responsibility for decisions over the Group’s 
relevant activities and dividend distributions and are independent of the shareholders, among whom none is the owner of preference 
shares, providing any special rights to its’ holders. Hence as of 31 December 2023 in accordance with IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial 

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 their 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 . 

An increase or decrease in PDs by 0 .5% compared to PDs used in the ECL estimates calculated at 31 December 2023 would result in an 
increase or decrease in credit loss allowances of RR 5 .1 billion (31 December 2022: by 0 .5% RR 3 .4 billion) .

An increase or decrease in LGDs by 1% compared to LGDs used in the ECL estimates calculated at 31 December 2023 would result in an 
increase or decrease in credit loss allowances of RR 1 .5 billion (31 December 2022: by 1% RR 1 .3 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 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.  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 allow-
ance as at 31 December 2022 .

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 26 .

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 . Subse-
quent 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 ap-
proach requires judgement: the Group has taken into consideration that there are contingent settlement provisions that could genuinely 
arise and as such has classified the 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 .

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 subordi-
nated 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 contrac-
tual 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 .

Policies (Continued)

The provision from restricted assets was estimated by weighting the estimates of expected credit losses for different possible outcomes 
against probabilities of each outcome. The Group defined at least two possible scenarios for each separate deal, one of which leads to a 
loss. Individual assessment is mainly based on the expert opinion of the Group’s management, including official projections. 

Interest income recognition. The effective interest method incorporates significant assumptions around expected loan lives as well 
as judgements of type of fees and costs that are included in interest income . Refer to Note 35 .

Unbundling of loans 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 .

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 2023 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 .

•  An entity has an obligation to remit any cash flows that it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay (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 trans-
ferred sufficient 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 at amortised cost, as opposed to fair value, as they will be held until full maturity and will 
not be susceptible to market price fluctuations. 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.

Investments in securities and repurchase receivables FV measurement. During the year ended 31 December 2023 revalu-
ation of investments in securities has been calculated according to the accounting policy of the Group due to the market recovery . In 
March 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. Refer to Note 32.

Restricted assets. Restricted assets are receivables from settlements with banks and other financial institutions which are currently 
subject to restrictions, and securities blocked in foreign depositories due to imposed sanctions and therefore unavailable to the Group . 
The Group performed transactions with these counterparties either directly or as an agent. The Group makes all possible efforts to 
obtain access to those assets and reinstate their payment schedules . Refer to Note 11 .

Tax legislation. Russian and Cypriot tax, currency and customs legislation are subject to varying interpretations . Refer to Note 28 .

Insurance contracts. The following estimates and assumptions are used for accounting of insurance contracts .

Unit of account . For collective personal accident and property insurance contracts of individuals, where the insurance contract is legally 
concluded with the Bank, the analysis of the scope of the contracts is based on the terms of the individual policies of the insured, and not 
on the terms of the contract with the Bank, i .e . the accounting unit for such contracts is the combination of policies of insured individuals 
with the same start and end term dates of the contract within the framework of one monthly register of concluded insurance contracts .

Aggregation of insurance contracts . For obligatory motor third party liability insurance of motor vehicle owners (hereinafter – “OMTPL”) 
the Group applies the right to include onerous contracts in one group with profitable contracts, contracts that at initial recognition have no 
significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently, because due to regulatory restrictions on OMTPL tariff corridors, the Group has 
no practical opportunity to set different tariffs or the level of benefits for policyholders with different characteristics.

Measurement model . For contracts measured under the premium allocation approach (PAA) with a coverage period of more than one year 
the Group verified that contracts meet the PAA eligibility criteria and established that such a simplification would produce a measurement 
of the liability for remaining coverage (LRC) that would not differ materially from the one that would be produced by applying the general 
measurement model (GMM) .

Estimates of future cash flows to fulfil insurance contracts. The estimates of future cash flows are based on probability weighted expected 
future cash flows. The Group estimates which cash flows are expected and the probability that they will occur as at the measurement date. 
In making these expectations, the Group uses information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions .

The forecast of the future cash flow is calculated using mathematical modeling methods as a weighted average of the probability of realiza-
tion of the size of individual cash flows.

Where estimates of expenses related cash flows are determined at the portfolio level or higher, corresponding to allocation drivers: the 
amount of the premium, the amount of claims costs, number of claims, labor hours by type of activity and similar indicators . The Group has 
determined that this method results in a systematic and rational allocation . Similar methods are consistently applied to allocate expenses of 
a similar nature .

Acquisition cash flows are typically allocated to groups of contracts based on gross premiums written. The Group allocates acquisition cash 
flows to both existing and future groups of insurance contracts.

Claims settlement-related expenses are allocated to groups of insurance contracts using actuarial methods or based on the average claim 
costs .

The Group forecasts of an estimate of future expenses related to insurance contracts are based on the current level of expenses . Expenses 
include expenses that are directly attributable to groups of contracts, including allocation of fixed and variable expenses of the Group.

Directly attributable expenses of an administrative policy maintenance nature are allocated by a relevant driver, while not directly attributa-
ble expenses are allocated to groups of contracts based on insurance revenue within the certain group .

Uncertainty in the estimation of future claims and benefit payments and premium receipts arises primarily from the unpredictability of 
claims amount and future inflation rates that lead to expenses growth. 

In determining the assumptions for estimation of future cash flows, the Group used reasonable consistent approaches. Assumptions used to 
develop estimates about future cash flows are reassessed at each reporting date and adjusted where required.

Estimates of liability for incurred claims . The Group estimates insurance liabilities in relation to claims incurred on accident period basis 
as ultimate cost of outstanding claims . Judgement is involved in assessing the most appropriate technique to estimate insurance liabilities 
for the claims incurred . The most common methods used to estimate property damage claims incurred are the chain-ladder, the Bornhuet-
ter-Ferguson and Expected loss ratio methods .

Policies (Continued)

The chain-ladder technique is the most appropriate for those accident periods and classes of business that have reached a relatively stable 
development pattern . The chain-ladder technique is less suitable in cases in which the Group does not have a developed claims history for a 
particular type of claim . Also, the chain-ladder technique is best suited for estimation of more matured accident periods .

The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method uses a combination of a benchmark or market-based estimate and an estimate based on claims experi-
ence . The former is based on a measure of exposure, such as gross premiums; the latter is based on the paid or incurred claims to date . The 
two estimates are combined, using a formula that gives more weight to the experience-based estimate as time passes . This technique is 
best suited for estimation of more recent accident periods .

The Expected loss ratio method assumes the estimation of ultimate level of losses in relation to gross earned premiums . This technique can 
be used in situations in which claims experience is not available for the projection.In certain instances, different techniques or a combina-
tion of techniques have been selected for individual accident periods within the same type of contract .

The Group estimates future claim handling costs on incurred claims separately . Under motor own damage insurance (“CASCO”) insurance 
contracts the Group has the right to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs . Estimates of subrogation reimbursements are 
based on historical data of corresponding income .

4  Segment Analysis

Operating segments are components that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results 
are regularly 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 per-
formed 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 business. Thus the management highlights 4 segments: consumer financial services, retail daily and lifestyle transaction services, SME 
financial services 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 insurance services . 

Retail daily and lifestyle transaction services - representing transactional financial and daily lifestyle services provided to retail customers, 
including mobile app experience, current accounts, debit cards, savings and investments services, loyalty programs, co-branded offers,

F-33

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.

Factors that management used to identify the reportable segments

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 
internal reporting. The CODM evaluates performance of each segment based on profit before tax.

eral under reverse sale and repurchase agreements was RR 493,162 million (31 December 2022: RR 254,683 million) . There is no material 
impact of collateral on credit loss allowance for cash and cash equivalents .

POS (“Point of sale”) loans represent loans to fund online and offline purchases through internet and offline shops for individual borrowers, 
including Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) loans . 

Loans to IE and SME represent loans provided by the Bank to individual entrepreneurs and small and medium businesses for the purpose of 
working capital management .

The credit loss allowance for loans and advances to customers recognised in the period is impacted by a variety of factors . The main 
movements in the tables presented below are described as follows:

•  new originated or purchased category represents the gross carrying amounts and the related ECL of purchased loans and loans issued 

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;

Changes to ECL measurement model assumptions and estimates for three months ended 31 March 2023 represent a refined approach to 
calculation of the car loan recovery rate, as well as impact of the economic environment. The refined approach is that the Group has applied 
its own car loan portfolio statistics accumulated in sufficient volume, which makes the assessment more precise. Except stated above there 
were no changes in ECL measurement . Refer to Notes 2 and 3 for more information .

Investments in securities measured at FVTPL are carried at fair value, which also reflects any credit risk related write-downs and best 
represents Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk . The securities measured at FVTPL are not collateralized . Interest rate, maturity and 
geographical risk concentration analysis of investment in securities are disclosed in Note 26 .

Credit cards are issued to customers for cash withdrawals or payment for goods or services, within the range of limits established by the 
Bank . These limits may be increased or decreased from time-to-time based on management decision . Credit card loans are not collateral-
ized .

Cash loans represent a product for the borrowers who have a positive credit history and who do not have overdue loans in other banks . Cash 
loans are loans provided to customers via the Bank’s debit cards . These loans are available for withdrawal without commission .

Car loans represent loans for the purchase of a vehicle which is used as collateral under the loan .

Secured loans represent loans secured with a real estate (home equity loans) or a car . As at 31 December 2023 home equity loans under 
securitisation amounted to RR 1,857 million (31 December 2022: RR 2,958 million) . Refer to Note 14 for details of the securitisation of home 
equity loans .

8  Loans and Advances to Customers (Continued)

Table above only includes credit cards less than 180 days overdue .

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 .

Presented below is an analysis of issued, activated and utilised cash loans based on their checks as at the end of the reporting period:

The credit loss allowance charge during the year ended 31 December 2023 presented in the tables above differs from the amount presented 
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period due to RR 6,651 million recovery of amounts 
previously written-off as uncollectible, due to RR 4,971 million recovery from the purchased loans in excess of their gross carrying amount, 
and due to RR 2,198 million charge of ECL for credit related commitments . 

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 period due to RR 5,660 million recovery of amounts 
previously written-off as uncollectible, due to RR 3,902 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 .

The amount of the recovery received from written-off loans and purchased loans during the period was credited directly to the credit loss 
allowance line in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

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 year ended 31 December 2023 
and are still subject to enforcement activity is equal to RR 21,583 million (2022: RR 15,029 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 2023 the Group sold credit-impaired loans to third parties (external debt collection agencies) by the 
means of transferring all subsequent risks and rewards without recourse to the buyer, which resulted into derecognition of gross amount of 
RR 3,543 million and credit loss allowance of RR 3,032 million. The difference between the carrying amount of these loans and the consider-
ation received was recognised as gains in the amount of RR 31 million within credit loss allowance for loans and advances to customers and 
credit related commitments for the year ended 31 December 2023 .

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 subsequent risks and rewards without recourse to the buyer, which resulted into derecognition of gross amount of 
RR 2,020 million and credit loss allowance of RR 1,925 million. The difference between the carrying amount of these loans and the consid-
eration 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 .

The values of collateral considered in this disclosure are after a valuation haircut of 15% (2022: 15%) for residential real estate and 20% 
(2022: 20%) for cars applied to consider liquidity and quality of the pledged assets .

All contractual modifications of loans with the lifetime ECL that did not lead to derecognition did not have gains less losses on modification 
recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2023 (2022: same).

Refer to Note 32 for the disclosure of the fair value of loans and advances to customers . Interest rate, maturity and geographical risk con-

In the disclosure above the difference between collateralised gross carrying amounts and total gross carrying amount of the respective 
loans represents unsecured exposures of RR 51,574 million (31 December 2022: RR 26,059 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 counterparty 
to provide customers of the Bank who have brokerage accounts with the Bank with the possibility to acquire securities in case those cus-
tomers 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 2023 the fair value of collateral of brokerage receivables was RR 43,244 million (31 December 2022: RR 27,250 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 2023 the fair value of collateral of brokerage payables was RR 11,126 million (31 December 2022: RR 9,483 million) .

ECL measurement approach, interest rate, maturity and geographical risk concentration analysis are disclosed in Note 26 . Refer to Note 
29 for the disclosure of the offsetting assets and liabilities. Refer to Note 32 for the disclosure of the fair value of brokerage receivables and

14   Other Borrowed Funds

On 5-6 July 2021 the Group completed the securitisation of home equity loans placed by mortgage agent TB- 1 . The placement included 
Class A and B bonds secured by a portfolio of home equity loans . Class A bonds are represented by senior tranche totaling RR 5,623 million 
and were placed with private and institutional investors with a coupon of 7 .9% . Class B bonds are represented by subordinated junior 
tranche totaling RR 878 million that was retained by the Bank . This junior tranche absorbs substantially all amount of credit risks related to 
the portfolio . As a result, the securitised home equity loans amounted to RR 5,638 million failed to meet derecognition criteria set out by 
IFRS 9 and hence continue to be recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. 

As at 31 December 2023 the carrying value of borrowings through securitisation transaction amounted to RR 1,061 million (31 December 
2022: RR 2,199 million) that are represented by Class A bonds . The carrying value of the securitised home equity loans amounted to RR 
1,857 million as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: RR 2,958 million) . Refer to Note 8 . The fair value of the securitised home equity 
loans does not differ materially from the carrying value as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: same). The resulting net position 
amounted to RR 796 million (31 December 2022: RR 759 million) .

On 20 September 2021 the Group issued perpetual subordinated loan participation notes with a nominal value of USD 600 million (RR 
43,536 million) with zero premium . The Group has a right to repay the notes at its discretion starting from 20 December 2026 and they are 
repayable in case of certain events other than liquidation. The notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.00% p.a. payable quarterly starting from 
20 December 2021 .

On 15 June 2017 the Group issued perpetual subordinated loan participation notes with a nominal value of USD 300 million (RR 17,109 mil-
lion) with zero premium . The Group has a right to repay the notes at its discretion starting from 15 September 2027 and they are repayable in 
case of certain events other than liquidation. The notes bear a fixed interest rate of 9.25% p.a. payable quarterly starting from 15 September 
2017 . Starting from 15 September 2023 the interest rate increased to 11 .99% p .a .

During the three months ended 31 December 2023 the Group repurchased 6,734 subordinated perpetual bonds (TCS-perp) at market price 
for RR 348 million . The net gains from repurchase of subordinated bonds in the amount of RR 263 million are recognised in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

All perpetual subordinated loan participation notes have no stated maturity, and interest payments may be cancelled by the Group at any 
time . 

The claims of lenders against the Group in respect of the principal and interest on these bonds are subordinated to the claims of other credi-
tors in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation .

As a result of the sanctions, the Group’s ability to make interest payments to the holders under its Eurobonds issued in 2017 and 2021 
through the usual channels was undermined by the assets freeze restrictions . In this regard, the Group cancelled interest payments for the 
two coupon periods (March and June 2023) under its Eurobonds to avoid discrimination between bondholders and to focus on finding a 
practical and lawful solution to remedy this situation by the time of the next scheduled coupon payment . On 20 September and 20 December 
2023 the Group resumed coupon payments for the 3rd and 4th quarters in fulfilment of its obligations under a subordinated loan notes to the 
holders whose rights are recorded in the Russian depository infrastructure. The fulfilment of Eurobond coupon payment obligations to hold-
ers whose rights are registered in foreign depository infrastructure or foreign brokers remains technically impossible due to the imposed 
sanctions . The Group is exploring all options available in the current circumstances for making payments to all categories of investors .

On 27 November 2023 the Group replaced USD 146 .2 million of Eurobonds issued in 2017 . The replacement share represents 48 .74% of the 
original volume with a nominal value of USD 300 million, with coupon rate of 11 .99% and no stated maturity .

On 30 November 2023 the Group replaced USD 288 .7 million of Eurobonds issued in 2021 . The replacement share represents 48 .11% of the 
original volume with a nominal value of USD 600 million, with coupon rate of 6 .0% and no stated maturity .

Holders of Eurobonds whose rights are recorded in the Russian depositories may participate in the replacement. The nominal, coupon rate 
and maturity of the replacement bonds remained the same . All coupon payments on replacement bonds will be made in Russian rubles at the 
Central Bank exchange rate on the payment date .

The perpetual subordinated loan participation notes are traded on the Moscow Exchange . Interest rate, maturity and geographical risk con-
centration analysis of subordinated debt is disclosed in Note 26. Refer to Note 32 for the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments.

Movements in the credit loss allowance for credit related commitments were as follows for the year ended 31 December 2022:

•  new originated or purchased category represents the day one 12-month ECL for the undrawn part of the purchased loans and loans to 

new borrowers (for this particular product) before the first payment became due;

•  transfers between Stage 1 and Stage 2 due to undrawn limits experiencing significant increases (or decreases) of credit risk and the 

consequent “step up” (or “step down”) between 12-month and Lifetime ECL . Transfers present the amount of credit loss allowance for 
loan commitments charged or recovered at the moment of transfer of a loan commitment among the respective stages;

•  movements other than transfers and new originated or purchased loans category represents all other movements of ECL for loan com-

mitments in particular related to changes in gross carrying amounts of associated loans and other .

There are no movements in Stage 3, as in case of becoming credit-impaired, undrawn limits will be blocked .

Interest rate, maturity and geographical risk concentration analysis of other financial liabilities is disclosed in Note 26. Refer to Note 32 for 
disclosure of fair value of other financial liabilities. Refer to Note 26 for analysis of loan commitments by credit risk grades.

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.

On 4 August 2023, the President of the Russian Federation approved Federal Law No . 414-FZ on Windfall Tax . Under the provisions of the 
Federal Law, the Group is a taxpayer of the windfall tax . 

Windfall tax falls in scope of IAS 12 Income Taxes . The amount of the Group's windfall tax expense and payable, calculated at a rate of 10%, 
is RR 1,848 million . The Group has made a windfall tax security deposit in the amount of RR 924 million, which in the consolidated statement 
of cash flows is presented adjacent to the line item Income tax paid. As a result of the security deposit paid, the Group is eligible to a windfall 
tax deduction in the amount of the above security deposit payment . Accordingly, the applicable windfall tax rate was 5% .

The income tax rate applicable to the majority of the Group’s income is 20% (2022: 20%) . The operations of the Group are subject to multiple 
tax jurisdictions . The income tax rate applicable to the Russian subsidiaries of the Company is 20% . The income tax rate applicable to the 
Company registered in Cyprus is 12 .5% (2022: 12 .5%) .

26   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 
clients, diversifying of modes of work with overdue borrowers, toughening of scoring for the new borrowers etc . 

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 28) .

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;

•  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 up to 7 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 30 million, loan term is up 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 encumbrances .

For car loans minimum requirements are listed below:

•  The requested loan term is up to 5 years; 

•  Car loan volume does not exceed RR 8 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 10 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 200 million and loan term to 10 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 .

26   Financial and Insurance Risk Management (Continued)

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;

c) 

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 bor-
rower 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) 

b) 

c) 

d) 

e) 

the client’s account balance was fixed, accrual of interest stopped;

information about the client is considered to be up to date;

the client denied restructuring program; 

term of limitation of court actions has not expired; 

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:

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; and

•  Doubtful – facilities that require closer monitoring and remedial management .

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):

Master scale credit risk grade

NPL

For credit cards: non-overdue with PD < 5%;  
for POS loans and secured loans: not overdue with a probability of default of less than 2 .5%; 
for other types of loans: not overdue with a probability of default of less than 5% .

For credit cards: non-overdue with PD greater than or equal to 5% but less than 25% 
All non-overdue loans that do not meet the excellent level

For credit cards: the PD is greater than or equal to 25%, or from 1 to 30 overdue; 
for other types of loans: from 1 to 30 days overdue

 From 31 to 90 days overdue, or restructured loans from 0 to 90 days overdue;

More than 90 days overdue .

a) 

loans remain unpaid after all collection procedures were performed (no payment during last 4-6 months); 

Each master scale credit risk grade is assigned a specific degree of creditworthiness:

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. 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) .

•  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 . De-
spite 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-weighted esti-
mate 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 
debt amount in the event of default and the flows 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 36 months, cash 
loans to 60 months, secured loans to 180 months, car loans to 84 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 .

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 

Lifetime ECL – losses that result from all possible default events over the remaining lifetime period of the financial instrument.

moved to Stage 2 but is not yet deemed to be credit-impaired, the loss allowance is based on lifetime ECLs;

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.

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 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 .

•  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 .

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 homogene-
ous segments of the loan portfolio;

•  for all other financial assets except FVTPL: assessment based on external ratings .

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 .

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 .

Examples of shared characteristics include type of customer, product type, credit risk rating, date of initial recognition, overdue level and 
repayment statistics .

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 .

The different segments reflect differences in PD. The appropriateness of groupings is monitored and reviewed on a periodic basis by the 
Risk Management Department .

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% .

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 (can’t be higher than 100%);

 — exposure at default;

 — loss given default;

 — adjustment to PD and LGD depending on macroeconomic factors .

31 DECEMBER 2023Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORTSTRATEGIC REPORTMANAGEMENT REPORT26   Financial and Insurance Risk Management (Continued)

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 .

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 
behavioral characteristics . For other products debt at the time of default 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 behavioral 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 
default 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, POS loans in stages 1, 2 and 3, also car loans in stages 1, 2, losses in the event of default are calculated using the port-

folio approach based on statistics of repayments of defaulted loans for the period for 36 months;

•  For cash loans in stages 1, 2 and 3 and car loans in stage 3 losses in the event of default are calculated using the portfolio approach 

based on statistics of repayments of defaulted loans for the period for 30 months;

•  For SME loans -  losses in the event of default are calculated using the portfolio approach based on statistics of repayments of defaulted 

loans for the period for 12 months, for SME overdrafts – 15 months;

•  For secured cash loans, credit lines for SME and BNPL loans losses in the event of default are calculated using current market data on 

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 (2022: same) .

Forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL models. The calculation of ECLs incorporates forward-looking information . 

Starting from 2022, given the high degree of uncertainty associated with the geopolitical situation the Group assesses the impact of the 
economic environment on the applicable estimates used in calculating ECLs based on actual historical data on defaults in previous crises, 
as well as using expert estimates based on the duration and strength of the crises . 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 mod-
els 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 (2022: no material impact) .

The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. The table presents the aggregated amounts of the Group’s financial 
and insurance assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of contractual interest repricing or maturity dates:

Assets with no stated maturity are represented by the restricted assets . 

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 accord-
ance 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 2023, if interest rates at that date had been 200 basis 
points lower/higher (31 December 2022: 200 basis points), with all other variables held constant, profit for the year would have been RR  
3,951   million (31 December 2022: RR 3,205 million) lower/higher, equity would have been RR 3,951 million (31 December 2022: RR 3,205 
million) lower/higher .

The Group monitors interest rates for its financial instruments. The table below summarizes weighted average interest rates for the years 
2023 and 2022 based on reports reviewed by key management personnel .

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 companies 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 2023 and 2022 .

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 . Liquidity risk is managed by the Financial Department and the Risk Management Department on a regu-
lar basis .The Group seeks to maintain a stable funding base primarily consisting of amounts due to retail and corporate customer accounts 
and deposits, debt securities .

26   Financial and Insurance Risk Management (Continued)

The maturity analysis of financial and insurance liabilities at 31 December 2022 is as follows: 

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.

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 2023 and 2022. The CFO and the Head of Risk Management Department receive 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 transac-
tions and repayments, statistics on credit card issuance 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. Liquidity stress testing is carried 
out on a regular basis by the Finance Department and the Risk Management Department in accordance with various scenarios, taking into 
account the models of outflow and inflow of cash on account balances and repayments of credit card debt.

The table below shows liabilities at 31 December 2023 by their remaining contractual maturity . The amounts of liabilities disclosed in the 
maturity table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and net 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

Financial derivatives receivable and payable are disclosed in the Note 31 . The tables above present only the gross payables . 

Insurance contract liabilities 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 economic situation of recent years could 
led to an increase in liquidity risk in the banking system of the Russian Federation, but this did not happen due to the adequate response and 
support measures of the Bank of Russia .

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 .

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.

The allocation of deposits of individuals considers the statistics of autoprolongations and top-ups of longer deposits with the funds from 
shorter deposits after their expiration in case when the customers have more than one active deposit . The matching and/or controlled mis-
matching 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.

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 
number and type of depositors, and the past experience of the Group would indicate that these customer accounts provide a long-term and 
stable source of funding for the Group .

The Group has developed a Financial Stability Restoration Plan (the “Plan”) in emergency situations . The main purpose of this Plan is, in the 
event of a liquidity crisis and/or deterioration in the Group’s financial position, to preserve the Group’s capital and identify sources of liquid-
ity replenishment. The plan provides for the formation of effective measures that correspond to stress conditions, which should stabilize the 
situation and restore the liquidity and financial stability of the Group.

Insurance risk. Insurance risk is the risk associated with insurance contracts, consisting in the possibility of the occurrence of an insur-
ance event and the uncertainty of the amount and time of occurrence of the loss associated with it .

The insurance risk management process covers all stages, from the stage of development of insurance rates to the settlement of losses .

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 depart-
ment 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 portfolio - 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

27   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 
Russian 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 total equity as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position. The 
amount of capital that the Group managed as of 31 December 2023 was RR 283,915 million (31 December 2022: RR 205,913 million) .

In October 2021 the Bank was added to the CBRF’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 reports with their calculation are reviewed and signed by 
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief accountant, then submitted to the CBRF in accordance with the deadlines set by the regulator. 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 2023 was RR  244,634 
million, and the equity capital adequacy ratio (N1 .0) was 12 .84% (31 December 2022: RR  208,776 million and 16 .62%) . Minimum required 
statutory equity capital adequacy ratio (N1 .0) was 9% as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: 9%) .

Starting from 2022 due to the suspension of services by 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. 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 year ended 31 December 2023 and 2022 . 

The size of the solvency margin calculated by the Insurance Company in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian 
Federation is presented by the standard ratio of capital and assumed liabilities which was 4 .87 at 31 December 2023 and 2 .64 at 31 December 
2022 .

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 preced-
ing 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 Economic Cooper-
ation 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 pos-
sible, 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 income 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 chal-
lenged 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 may 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, were it to be successful, 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 
2023 and 2022 no material tax risks were identified.

Compliance with covenants. The Group is subject to certain covenants related primarily to its subordinated perpetual debt . Non-com-
pliance 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 2023 and 2022 .

Capital commitment related to the office construction. The future cash outflows to which the Group is exposed due to the construc-
tion and repairs of a new office building and which are not reflected in the liabilities amounted to RR 4,826 million as at 31 December 2023 (31 
December 2022: RR 19,222 million) .

Условные обязательства, связанные со строительством офиса. Будущие оттоки денежных средств, которые ожидает 
Группа в связи со строительством и ремонтом нового офисного здания и которые не отражены в обязательствах, составили  
4 826 млн руб. по состоянию на 31  декабря  2023  года (31 декабря 2022 года: 19 222 млн руб.).

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 .

28   Contingencies and Commitments (Continued)

The following table contains an analysis of credit related commitments by credit quality at 31 December 2022 based on credit risk grades .

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:

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 .

Mandatory cash balances with the CBRF of RR 3,189 million as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: RR 1,690 million) represent manda-
tory reserve deposits which are not available to finance the Bank's day to day operations.

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 con-
ditions 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 .

32   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The description of valuation techniques and the description of the inputs used in the fair value measurement for level 2 measurements at 31 
December 2023 are as follows:

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 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) .

(а)   Recurring fair value measurements

Recurring fair value measurements are those that the accounting standards require or permit in the consolidated 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:

In 2023, the transfer of Investments in securities from level 2 to level 1 occurred as a result of the restoration of market activity, trading 
volumes rose up following the growth of the Moscow Exchange index after a fall in 2022 .

There were no changes in the valuation techniques for level 2 recurring fair value measurements during the year ended 31 December 2023 .

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 ex-
pected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity .

As at 31 December 2023 and 2022 the fair value of the debt securities in issue and subordinated debt has been calculated based on quoted 
prices from the Moscow Exchange, where the Group’s debt securities are listed and traded .

Discount rates used in determining fair value of investments in securities, debt securities in issue, other borrowed funds and subordinated 
debt represent a weighted average yield as of reporting date . A bond's yield to maturity rises or falls depending on its market value and how 
many payments remain to be made .

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 2023:

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 granted to the management is 21,929 thousand as at 31 December 
2023 (31 December 2022: 21,533) .

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 not entitled to the dividends before the vesting date . Participants leaving 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 . In 2022, the grants introduced during 2016-2020 have 
been fully vested .

The fair value of the awards granted in 2023 is determined on the basis of market quotes of GDRs in the Moscow Exchange as at those dates . 
Weighted-average fair value of the awards in 2023 was RR 3,006 per 1 GDR . 

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 partici-
pants correspond to the vesting dates, each subsequent 31 May or 30 June .

The only grant provided in 2023 is vested over 3 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 May .

The following table discloses the changes in the numbers of GDRs attributable to the MLTIP:

35   Material Accounting Policy Information

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 recognition of 
financial instruments based on fair value, and by revaluation of financial instruments categorised at fair value through profit or loss (“FVT-
PL”) 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 36. 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 assessing wheth-
er 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 .

35   Material Accounting Policy Information (Continued)

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 com-
mon 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 proportionate 
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 advisory, legal, valuation and similar professional services . Transaction costs incurred for issuing equity instruments are deduct-
ed from equity; transaction 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 com-
pany 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 accompa-
nying 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 comprehensive 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 addi-
tion, 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 previously 
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 finan-
cial 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 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 32 .

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 repay-
ments, 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:

1)  solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets (“hold to collect contractual cash flows”); or 

2)  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”); 

3)  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 
undertakes to achieve the objective set out for the portfolio available at the date of the assessment . Factors considered by the Group in de-
termining 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 compensat-
ed .

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, man-
datory cash balances with the CBRF, due from other banks, loans and advances to customers, guarantee deposits with payment systems, 
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 loss-
es 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 recogni-
tion:

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 26 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 26 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 
26 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 
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 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).

An exchange between the Group and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as substantial mod-
ifications 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% differ-
ent 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 place-
ments 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 desig-
nated 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 rec-
ognised 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 cal-
culated 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. 

Precious metals. The Group holds precious metals for the purpose of generating a profit from fluctuations in price. Precious metals are 
measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

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 26 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 effec-
tively provide a lender’s return to the counterparty, are treated as secured financing transactions. Securities sold under such sale and repur-
chase 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 receiva-
bles . 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 guaran-
tee deposits with payment systems are carried at amortised cost .

Tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, where 
required . 

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:

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 determined, the lessee’s 
incremental 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 .

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 insur-
ance license have definite useful life and include capitalised acquired computer software and internally developed software. Develop-
ment 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 develop-
ment 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 
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. Intangible assets including goodwill with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment.

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 

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.

Adoption of IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts". The Group issues insurance contracts without direct participation features .

Unit of account. The Group manages insurance contracts issued by product lines within an operating segment, where each product 
line includes contracts that are subject to similar risks . All insurance contracts within a product line represent a portfolio of contracts . 
Each portfolio is further disaggregated into groups of contracts that are issued within a calendar year (annual cohorts) and are (i) con-
tracts that are onerous at initial recognition; (ii) contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of becoming onerous 
subsequently; or (iii) a group of remaining contracts . These groups represent the level of aggregation at which insurance contracts are 
initially recognized and measured . Such groups are not subsequently reconsidered .

For each portfolio of contracts, the Group determines the appropriate level at which reasonable and supportable information is available 
to assess whether these contracts are onerous at initial recognition and whether non-onerous contracts have a significant possibility 
of becoming onerous. This level of granularity determines sets of contracts. The Group uses significant judgement to determine at what 
level of granularity the Group has reasonable and supportable information that is sufficient to conclude that all contracts within a set are 
sufficiently homogeneous and will be allocated to the same group without performing an individual contract assessment.

For contracts measured using the PAA, the Group assumes that no such contracts are onerous at initial recognition, unless facts and 
circumstances indicate otherwise . If facts and circumstances indicate that some contracts are onerous, an additional assessment is 
performed to distinguish onerous contracts from non-onerous ones . For non-onerous contracts, the Group assesses the likelihood of 
changes in the applicable facts and circumstances in the subsequent periods in determining whether contracts have a significant possi-
bility of becoming onerous . 

The Group applies IFRS 17 to all components of the contract . The Group does not have any contracts that require further separation or 
combination of insurance contracts .

operating leases;

Recognition of insurance contracts. Groups of insurance contracts issued are initially recognized from the earliest of the following:

•  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-

•  the beginning of the coverage period;

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 date when the first payment from the policyholder is due or actually received, if there is no due date; and

•  when the Group determines that a group of contracts becomes onerous .

All issued insurance contracts of the Group are accounted under the PAA approach .

Accounting for contract modification and derecognition. An insurance contract is derecognized when it is:

•  extinguished (i .e . when the obligation specified in the insurance contract expires or is discharged or cancelled); or

•  the contract is modified and certain additional criteria are met .

When an insurance contract is modified by the Group as a result of an agreement with the counterparties or due to a change in regulations, 
the Group treats changes in cash flows caused by the modification as changes in estimates of the fulfilment cash flows (FCF), unless the 
conditions for the derecognition of the original contract are met .

The Group derecognizes the original contract and recognizes the modified contract as a new contract if any of the following conditions 
are present:

•  if the modified terms had been included at contract inception and the Group would have concluded that the modified contract:

i . 

is not in scope of IFRS 17;

ii .  results in different separable components;

iii .  results in a different contract boundary; or

iv .  belongs to a different group of contracts;

•  the original contract represents an insurance contract with direct participation features, but the modified contract no longer meets that 

definition, or vice versa; or

•  the original contract was accounted for under the PAA, but the modification means that the contract no longer meets the eligibility crite-

ria for that approach .

Initial and subsequent measurement of groups of insurance and reinsurance contracts

Fulfilment cash flows within contract boundary. The FCF are the current estimates of the future cash flows within the contract 
boundary of a group of contracts that the Group expects to collect from premiums and pay out for claims, benefits and expenses, adjust-
ed to reflect the timing and the uncertainty of those amounts.

The estimates of future cash flows:

•  are based on a probability weighted mean of the full range of possible outcomes;

•  are determined from the perspective of the Group, provided the estimates are consistent with observable market prices for market 

variables; and

•  reflect conditions existing at the measurement date.

The Group adjusts the estimated present value of future cash flow including the compensation that an insurer requires for bearing the 
uncertainty arising from non-financial risks (Section "Risk adjustment for non-financial risk"). 

An explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk is estimated separately from the other estimates. For contracts measured under the 
PAA, unless the contracts are onerous, the explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk is only estimated for the measurement of the 
liability for incurred claims (LIC) .

The estimates of future cash flows are adjusted using the current discount rates to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks 
related to those cash flows, to the extent not included in the estimates of cash flows. The discount rates reflect the characteristics of 
the cash flows arising from the groups of insurance contracts, including timing, currency and liquidity of cash flows. The determination 
of the discount rate that reflects the characteristics of the cash flows and liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts requires 
significant judgement and estimation.

In the estimation of future cash flows at the date of initial recognition, the Group includes all expected cash inflows and outflows under 
insurance contracts. The subsequent cash flow assessment consists of cash flows of the remaining part of the insurance coverage and 
cash flows of the incurred claims.

Contract boundary. The Group uses the concept of contract boundary to determine what cash flows should be considered in the 
measurement of groups of insurance contracts . This assessment is reviewed every reporting period .

Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract if they arise from the rights and obligations that exist during the period in 
which the policyholder is obligated to pay premiums or the Group has a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder with insurance 
coverage or other services . A substantive obligation ends when:

•  the Group has the practical ability to reprice the risks of the particular policyholder or change the level of benefits so that the price fully 

reflects those risks; or

•  both of the following criteria are satisfied:

(i)  the Group has the practical ability to reprice the contract or a portfolio of contracts so that the price fully reflects the reassessed risk 

of that portfolio; and

(ii)  the pricing of premiums related to coverage to the date when risks are reassessed does not reflect the risks related to periods be-

yond the reassessment date .

In assessing the practical ability to reprice, risks transferred from the policyholder to the Group, such as insurance risk and financial risk, 
are considered; other risks, such as lapse or surrender and expense risk, are not included .

Riders, representing add-on provisions to a basic insurance policy that provide additional benefits to the policyholder at additional 
cost, that are issued together with the main insurance contracts form part of a single insurance contract with all the cash flows within its 
boundary .

Cash flows outside the insurance contracts boundary relate to future insurance contracts and are recognized when those contracts meet 
the recognition criteria .

Insurance acquisition costs. The Group determines insurance acquisition cash flows as a cash flows arising from the costs of 
selling, underwriting and starting a group of insurance contracts (issued or expected to be issued) that are directly attributable to the 
portfolio of insurance contracts to which the group belongs . 

Acquisition cash flows are attributed to the group of contracts on a systematic and rational basis. Insurance acquisition cash flows 
directly attributable to a group of insurance contracts:

•  to that group; and 

•  to groups that will include insurance contracts that are expected to arise from renewals of the insurance contracts in that group .

Acquisition cash flows that are not directly attributable to the group of contracts but are directly attributable to a portfolio of contracts, 
are attributed to groups of contracts that are already included or are expected to be included in the portfolio .

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is applied to the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows and reflects the compensation the Group requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash 
flows from non-financial risk as the Group fulfils insurance contracts.

Initial and subsequent measurement - Groups of contracts measured under the PAA. 

The Group uses the PAA for measuring contracts with coverage of one year or less, or when the Group reasonably expects that such a 
simplification would produce a measurement of the LRC that would not differ materially from the one that would be produced by applying 
the GMM .

For insurance contracts issued, insurance acquisition cash flows are deferred and recognized over the coverage period of contracts in 
a group . For reinsurance contract held brokerage remuneration is recognized during the period of insurance coverage of the contracts 
that are the part of the group .

For insurance contracts issued, on initial recognition, the Group measures the LRC at the amount of premiums received, less any acquisi-
tion cash flows paid and any amounts arising from the derecognition of the prepaid acquisition cash flows asset.

For reinsurance contracts held, on initial recognition, the Group measures the remaining coverage at the amount of ceding premiums 
paid .

The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts issued at the end of each reporting period is the sum of:

•  the LRC; and

•  the LIC, comprising the FCF related to past service allocated to the group at the reporting date .

For insurance contracts issued, at each of the subsequent reporting dates, the LRC is:

•  increased for premiums received in the period;

•  decreased for insurance acquisition cash flows paid in the period;

•  decreased for the amounts of expected premiums received recognized as insurance revenue for the services provided in the period;

•  increased for the amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows in the period recognized as insurance service expenses; and

•  increased for the adjustment of the financing component (if any exists).

If a group of contracts becomes onerous, the Group increases the carrying amount of the LRC to the amounts of the FCF determined 
under the GMM with the amount of such an increase recognized in insurance service expenses . Subsequently, the Group amortizes the 
amount of the loss component within the LRC by decreasing insurance service expenses . The loss component amortization is based on 
the passage of time over the remaining coverage period of contracts within an onerous group . 

If facts and circumstances indicate that the expected profitability of the onerous group during the remaining coverage has changed, then 
the Group increasing the FCF to the level, that will be gained by applying the GMM while the amount of such increase is recognized in 
Insurance service expenses, and a loss component is formed in relation to the amount of the recognized loss .

For contracts measured under the PAA, the LIC is measured similarly to the LIC’s measurement under the GMM. Future cash flows are 
adjusted for the time value of money since insurance contracts mainly issued by the Group and measured under the PAA typically have a 
settlement period of over one year .

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 amor-
tised 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 .

Other borrowed funds. 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 the current reporting date the Group has not made a secu-
ritisation 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 .

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 .

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 
current 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 
transaction 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 netted 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 deduc-
tions can be utilised . 

Deferred income tax is not recognised on post-acquisition retained earnings and other post acquisition movements in reserves of 
subsidiaries, 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 . 

Windfall tax. On 4 August 2023 the President of the Russian Federation approved Federal Law #414-FZ on Windfall tax which becomes 
effective on 1 January 2024. Under the provisions of the Federal Law, the Group is a taxpayer of the windfall tax. Windfall tax falls in 
scope of IAS 12 Income taxes, is recognized as a current income tax and is subject to respective income tax accounting policy as de-
scribed above .

Windfall tax is a one-off tax. Windfall tax expense and payable are recognized in the consolidated financial statements from the date 
when the Federal Law was substantively enacted . Windfall tax not settled is recognized as a payable . Windfall tax expense and payable 
are measured in the amount expected to be paid by the Group to the budget, using the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively 
enacted by the end of the reporting period . When calculating the expected windfall tax rate, the Group considered whether it has paid 
security deposit . The Group fully paid windfall tax at 31 December 2023 .

Uncertain tax positions. The Group's uncertain tax positions are assessed by management at the end of each reporting period . 
Liabilities 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 expendi-
ture 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 

F-151

F-152

31 DECEMBER 2023Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORTSTRATEGIC REPORTMANAGEMENT REPORT35  Material Accounting Policy Information (Continued)

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 distribu-
tion 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, in-
cluding 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 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 38. The accounting 
reports of the Group entities are the basis for profit distribution and other appropriations. The separate financial statements of the Com-
pany 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 interest income or expense, all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective inter-
est 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 result-
ing 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. 

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. 
Variable 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 
execution 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, inter-
change 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 
assessed 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 
reimbursement 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 service result from insurance contracts issued 

Insurance revenue. As the Group provides services under the group of insurance contracts, it reduces the LRC and recognizes 
insurance revenue . The amount of insurance revenue recognized in the reporting period depicts the transfer of promised services at an 
amount that reflects the portion of consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

For groups of insurance contracts measured under the PAA, the Group recognizes insurance revenue based on the passage of time over 
the coverage period of a group of contracts, unless the expected pattern of incurring the insurance service expenses differs significantly 
from the passage of time, in which case the latter should be used for expected premium receipts allocation to insurance revenue .

Insurance service expenses include the following:

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except for:

•  incurred claims and benefits;

(а) financial assets that have become credit-impaired (Stage 3), for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective inter-
est rate to their AC (net of the ECL provision); and 

(б) 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 di-
rectly attributed to the acquisition of a particular client, are included in the effective interest rate of the originated financial instruments; 
the remaining costs are expensed on the basis of the actual services provided .

•  other incurred directly attributable insurance service expenses;

•  amortizations of insurance acquisition cash flows;

•  changes that relate to past service (i .e . changes in the FCF relating to the LIC); 

•  changes that relate to future service (i .e . losses/reversals on onerous groups of contracts from changes in the loss components); and

•  impairment of assets on insurance acquisition cash flows.

For contracts measured under the PAA, amortisation of acquisition cash flows is recognized based on the passage of time.

31 DECEMBER 2023Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements TCS GROUP HOLDING PLCANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORTSTRATEGIC REPORTMANAGEMENT REPORT35   Material Accounting Policy Information (Continued)

Insurance finance income or expenses. Insurance finance income or expenses comprise the change in the carrying amount of the 
group of insurance contracts arising from:

•  the effect of the time value of money and changes in the time value of money; and

•  the effect of financial risk and changes in financial risk.

For contracts measured under the PAA, the main amounts within insurance finance income or expenses are:

•  interest accreted on the LIC; and

•  the effect of changes in interest rates and other financial assumptions.

The Group disaggregates changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk between insurance service result and insurance finance 
income or expenses:

1)  financial gains or losses related to the unwinding of discount rates at the initial recognition of a group of contracts are recognized in 

profit or loss;

2)  the difference between the amount allocated to each period’s profit or loss based on this systematic allocation and the total insurance 

finance income or expenses of the period is recognized in OCI.

Foreign currency translation and operations. The functional currency of the Company and most of its significant subsidiaries is 
the Russian Ruble (“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 2023 the rate of exchange used for translating foreign currency balances was USD 1 = RR  89 .6883  (31 December 
2022: USD 1 = RR 70 .3375), and the average rate of exchange was USD 1 = RR  85 .2466 for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the year 
ended 31 December 2022: USD 1 = RR 68 .5494) .

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 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 .

Earnings per share. Earnings per share are determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted 
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 Social Fund, 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 reporting 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 2023 the Group decided to show precious metals as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of 
financial position outside of the other non-financial assets.

The effect of changes described above on the consolidated statement of financial position for the year ended 31 December 2022 is as

The Group has adopted on 1 January 2023 IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (issued on 18 May 2017 and effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2021, the effective date subsequently modified to 1 January 2023 by the Amendments to IFRS 17) and related amendments 
retrospectively, with a transition date of 1 January 2022, which led to changes in the accounting policy for the recognition and valuation of 
insurance assets and liabilities with consequent restatements in the comparative financial periods. Changes in accounting policies related to 
the application of IFRS 17 were made using a full retrospective approach to the transition . 

The Group has determined that reasonable and supportable information was available for all contracts in force at the transition date . In addition, 
for insurance contracts originated by the Group that are eligible for the PAA, the Group has concluded that only current and prospective infor-
mation was required to reflect circumstances at the transition date, which made the full retrospective application practicable.

Accordingly, the Group has recognized and measured each group of insurance contracts and each asset for insurance acquisition cash flows 
paid at this category as if IFRS 17 had always been applied (except for conducting a retrospective impairment test), derecognized any existing 
balances that would not exist had IFRS 17 always applied; and recognized any resulting net difference in equity.

The impact of the application of IFRS 17 on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position is presented below:
