In preparing the consolidated financial information for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group carried out an inventory of its financial instruments. The inventory process identified financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss that were previously restricted in use and were incorrectly measured at cost. The Group revaluated these financial instruments and recognized prior period adjustments.
The consolidated statement of profit or loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 has been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the year ended 31 December 2023 because the presentation of the current year report provides a clearer picture of the Group's financial performance. All of the ratios were also recalculated accordingly. For more detailed information please refer to Halyk Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information for the nine months ended 30 September 2024, note #4b.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for 9M 2024 is up 18.3% year-on-year thanks to notable increase in lending and transactional businesses.
Interest income(1) for 9M 2024 was up 30.3% vs. 9M 2023 mainly due to increase in average rate and balances of loans to customers.
Interest expense for 9M 2024 increased by 27.9% vs. 9M 2023 mainly as a result of the growth in average rate on amounts due to customers and growth in the share of KZT amounts due to customers. Consequently, net interest income before credit loss expense for 9M 2024 grew by 32.7% vs. 9M 2023.
In 9M 2024 net interest margin was affected by the increase in average rates on both loans to customers and amounts due to customers. Furthermore, net interest margin was positively impacted by the increase in the share of higher yielding retail loans in total loan portfolio and share of loans to customers in total interest earning assets, as well as increase in the share of KZT interest-earning cash and cash equivalents. As a result, net interest margin has grown to 7.1% p.a. for 9M 2024 compared to 6.3% p.a. for 9M 2023.
Fee and commission income in 9M 2024 vs. 9M 2023 increased by 2.0%. It was negatively impacted by base effect related to transition to amortization of tariff packages for legal entities starting from November 2023. Moreover, there was a revision of some retail tariffs in 2H of 2023. On top of that, the amount of bonuses for the loyalty program significantly grew due to increased transactional activity of retail clients and growing share of QR payments.
Fee and commission expense in 9M 2024 vs. 9M 2023 grew by 7.3% mainly due to increase in service fees on payment cards and in deposit insurance fees payable to the Kazakhstan Deposit Insurance Fund following the retail deposits amount growth. As a result, despite the growth of clients' transactional activity, the net fee and commission income for 9M 2024 decreased by 2.7% vs. 9M 2023.
Other expense/non-interest income (4) in 9M 2024 was negatively impacted by a one-off recognized loss from the full prepayment of a deposit of the Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund (KSF), which were made on April 8, 2024.
Operating expenses(5) for 9M 2024 increased by 17.2% vs. 9M 2023 mainly due to the indexation of salaries and other employee benefits.
The cost-to-income ratio equalled 17.6% in 9M 2024, compared with 17.9% in 9M 2023 due to higher operating income for 9M 2024.
Cost of risk in 9M 2024 was at normalized level within the scope of our full year guidance and was at the level of 1.3%.
