CAIRO - Commercial International Bank (EGX: COMI) today reported third-quarter 2025 consolidated net income of EGP 28.8 billion, and nine-months 2025 consolidated net income of EGP 62.1 billion, or EGP 18.5 per share, up by 47% from nine-months 2024.

Management Commented: "As previously highlighted in our earlier Earnings Releases and investor engagements, and further supported by observed moderation in macroeconomic conditions, the third quarter of 2025 witnessed the release of a total provision amounting to EGP 13.1 billion pertaining to the recalibration of the Bank's Expected Credit Loss (ECL) calculation. The released provision amount, which reflects the current economic reality and predictability of monetary policy measures and signals a more moderate provisioning level, has been transferred to a Special Reserve in Shareholders' Equity, through the Bank's P&L Statement, hence crediting a before-tax amount of EGP 13.1 billion to the P&L Statement and to the Provision Balance on the Statement of Financial Position. It is worth noting, however, that this amount, as per CBE instructions, is not recognized, neither in the Bank's Capital Base and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), nor in its Net Profit Available for Distribution. Upon the said recalibration, Loan Loss Provision Balance recorded EGP 36.2 billion by end of third-quarter 2025, covering 7.0% of the Bank's Gross Loan Portfolio, down from 8.9% by end of second-quarter 2025. Additionally, Coverage for Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) by Loan Loss Provisions recorded 281% by end of third-quarter 2025, down from 338% by end of the preceding quarter.

Top Line for nine-months 2025 grew by a healthy 16% YoY, despite lower foreign exchange revenues and interest rates, which posed some downward pressure on margins, as growth came primarily underpinned by commercial banking activities. Specifically, the Bank's strategy has been successfully managed to grow volumes, adding 16% or EGP 147 billion to the Bank's Deposit Base from last year, with CIB marking the first Egyptian Private-Sector Bank to surpass EGP 1 trillion in Customer Deposits, securing a Deposit Market Share of 6.99%, while increasing its healthy share of Current Accounts and Saving Accounts (CASA) to Total Deposits from 55% last year to 60% this year. Likewise, the Bank's strategy for loan growth reaped its fruits, as evidenced by CIB growing its Gross Loan Portfolio by an impressive 47% or EGP 166 billion over last year, with Corporate Loans growing by 54% or EGP 151 billion, of which around 40% came in CAPEX, and with the Bank's share of lending to Small-and-Medium-Sized-Enterprises (SMEs) recording 25.4%, to secure the highest Private-Sector Corporate Loan Market Share of 9.65%. This fed into strong growth in the sustainable stream of non-interest income, with fee and commission income growing by 22% YoY. With that, Gross Loan-to-Deposit Ratio for CIB recorded 49.7% by end of period, up from 39.4% last year, and recorded 52.3% upon further accounting for Securitization Deals, with the local currency portion reaching a record-high of 66.6%. Backed by the above carefully-executed strategy, nine-months 2025 Bottom Line recorded EGP 62.1 billion, reflecting into a Return on Average Equity (ROAE) of 45.9%, while simultaneously maintaining a comfortable Common Equity Tier I (CET1) Capital Ratio of 26% by end of third-quarter 2025.

Echoing robust financial performance, this quarter came as an explicit testament to the Bank's stable and sound digital foundation, and a pay-off of technology spend. The growth in Number of ATM Financial Transactions was 9% YoY and growth in ATM Cash Volumes recorded 10% YoY in third-quarter 2025 compared to third-quarter 2024. Concurrently, CIB managed to increase its Volume of Online Banking Digital Platform Transactions by 17% from last year, to be serving 2.0 million users by end of third-quarter 2025, and to increase its Value of Transactions by 57% from last year, to reach EGP 3.6 trillion across all of the Bank's Digital Channels for the nine-months period of 2025. This period also witnessed a leap in the Credit Card Business for CIB, with around 50 thousand Credit Cards being issued during third-quarter 2025, compared to 40 thousand issued in second-quarter 2025, bringing the total number of Credit Cards issued during the nine-months period of 2025 to over 132 thousand cards."
