Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014 I 5

What we achievedSberbank (Switzerland) AG operated in a turbulent environment in 2014 and had to address the chal-lenges imposed by the di�cult geopolitical situation and the sanctions regime. Nevertheless, the bank was able to grow its Balance Sheet and revenues substantially and complete the capital increase that was started in 2013. The bank continued to enhance the way it fulfils the client's needs through new financial solutions and product line expansion. To support the growing business, the bank increased its focus on development of the funding base.

Financial performanceTotal assets grew by 107% in 2014, increasing from CHF 333 million in 2013 to CHF 691 million. Loans to  customers also more than doubled, reaching CHF  474 million at the end of 2014, compared to CHF 222 million in 2013. The 2014 result was a net loss of CHF 19.1 million, primarily driven by higher operating expenses and loan loss provisions. Oper-ating expenses rose from CHF 16.4 million in 2013 to CHF  23.6 million in 2014, reflecting the bank’s growing team and infrastructure build-out costs. In  response to the market environment that the bank and its clients face and to ensure prudent accounting for the credit risks, as of December 2014 the bank created total loan loss provisions of CHF 10.9 million.

Net interest income increased from CHF 3.4 million in 2013 to CHF 10.7 million in 2014, reflecting the growth in the loan portfolio. Income from commis-sions increased slightly from CHF 4.1 million in 2013 to CHF 4.5 million in 2014.

To support its growing business the bank focused on attracting deposits. The trend in this regard was positive for most of the year, with some deteriora-tion seen at the end of the year. Outstanding cus-tomer deposits grew from CHF 81 million in Decem-ber 2013 to CHF 221 million by December 2014.

In 2014 the bank received a 10-year CHF 75 million subordinated loan from Sberbank of Russia, creat-ing a healthy capital base to enable the execution of future plans.

Overall performance in 2014 reflected the continua-tion of the bank’s build-up phase.

2014 reviewSberbank (Switzerland) AG continued its strategic development across the core business areas of com-modity trade finance, structured lending and agen-cy products and demonstrated its commitment to long-term growth with several key hires during 2014 to broaden its wealth of expertise. In 2014 the bank organized its commodity trade finance operations full-scale and became the key commodity trade finance service provider in the Sberbank Group.

Foreword by Maxim Safonov, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Peter McNulty, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO

6 I Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014

In order to enhance its capabilities, Sberbank (Swit-zerland) AG moved into its new premises in Garten-strasse 24, 8002 Zurich at the beginning of July 2014. The original building has been significantly renovat-ed and the IT infrastructure brought to the latest standards. The new facilities feature reduced energy consumption, low noise and heat emission, passive cooling systems, automated light management and several other innovations.

Credit ratingSBS credit rating stands at BBB- (Fitch) with Outlook “Negative”, in line with the credit rating of Sberbank of Russia.

Giving back to societyThe year 2014 featured an extensive event pro-gramme to commemorate the 200-year jubilee of  diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Russia. Sberbank (Switzerland) AG contributed to this cultural initiative by sponsoring a series of events, thus raising awareness and strengthening the ties between the two countries.

Going forwardWe are convinced that attractive development opportunities remain within the bank’s strategic development areas. In particular, the bank strongly believes in the growth of the commodity trade finance business and in its ability to understand and handle risks related to business with Russian exporters.

The global markets is another focus area where the bank is building a global platform to service the Group’s clients outside Russia. The bank will continue investments in client relationships in order to leverage the Sberbank Group’s position. After the investments and build-up of the operations in 2013 and 2014, the bank’s main focus will be on revenue base stabilisation and growth.

Thank youWe would like to thank our customers for their trust as well as our employees and business partners for their dedication and loyalty.

Peter McNulty CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board

1. Explanatory notes to the Bank’s business activities and personnel

GeneralThe CHF 125 million capital increase process com-menced in December 2013 and originally booked as “other reserves” as at 31 December 2013 was com-pleted in February 2014 and redistributed to “share capital” (CHF 18.75 million) and “reserves from capital contributions” (CHF 106.25 million) at this time as further detailed under the Report by the Board of Directors (paragraph 1, shareholders).

On 24 February 2014 the Bank signed a subordinated loan agreement with Sberbank of Russia whereby it was agreed that Sberbank of Russia will advance an amount of up to CHF 75 million to Sberbank (Switzerland) AG for a term of 10 years at a fixed in-terest rate of 3.95% per annum. The first tranche of CHF 30 million was drawn by the Bank on 4 March 2014. The second tranche of CHF 25 million was drawn by the Bank on 17 March 2014 and the third and final tranche of CHF 20 million was drawn by the Bank on 6 June 2014. All three subordinated loan tranches have a maturity date of 22 February 2024.

The subordinated loan of CHF 75 million is included in the Tier II capital of the Bank.

On 20 January 2014 the Bank signed a rental contract for new office premises in Zurich in order to consol-idate the activities of the Bank in one location. The new rental contract commenced on 1 July 2014 for a period of 10 years with an early termination clause after 6 years. The rental contracts for the previous 3 office locations were all terminated as at 30 June 2014 with no additional liability for the Bank.

Main activitiesDuring 2014 Sberbank (Switzerland) AG was an in-ternationally active bank whose major fields of busi-ness were syndicated loans, structured financing, commodity trade finance, global markets (FICC) products and transactional banking services includ-ing international settlement, correspondent bank-ing, letters of credit, securities agency and escrow facilities.

At the end of 2014 the number of employees of the Bank amounted to 72 (2013: 61), including employees of the representative office in Moscow.

Balance Sheet transactionsThe interest margin business constitutes a major source of revenue for the Bank, with the emphasis on loans and short-term trade finance transactions.

The Bank did not hold any significant financial investments during the year.

TradingThe Bank is active on the foreign exchange market mainly on behalf of clients. During the year under review the Bank did not trade securities for its own account.

Commissions and service feesCommissions and service fees result predominantly from the servicing of loans, funds transfers, com-modity trade finance, letters of credit business, securities agency and escrow services.

Notes to the Financial Statements 2014

14 I Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014

Risk managementRisk policy is based on the Sberbank of Russia group principles and is regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors and provides the basis for the risk man-agement. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board receive information on a regular basis about the Bank’s portfolios, liquidity, financial and profita-bility state as well as the risks involved.

Observation of the risk limits set by the Board of Directors is controlled permanently. Positions are evaluated daily, whereby responsibility for risk con-trol at the Executive Board level is separated from the responsibility of the business areas generating those risks.

Risk assessmentThe Board of Directors is regularly reviewing all material risks of the Bank. This risk assessment is based on the data and tools that the Bank uses to manage risk. The Board of Directors has defined the internal control system to monitor all risks and has set limits to the risks as appropriate for the business of the Bank. The Executive Board has implemented the internal control system. These risks are further explained in the notes to the Financial Statements below.

Default risksApproval of loans and other exposures comprises the prior application of an adequate internal rating system which includes information from interna-tional rating organisations as well as a risk orien-tated regulation of competencies. Strict observation of limits as set out in the business regulations and directives is centrally monitored. Loans and other

exposures are evaluated periodically as to the credit worthiness of the debtor as well as to the value of collateral provided, depending on the kind of collat-eral. Doubtful or non-performing assets are dealt with by the Executive Board and reported to the Board of Directors.

Interest rate risksRisks deriving from changing interest rates of on-balance assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liabilities Management and super-vised by the Executive Board/ALM Committee of the Bank, even though these risks are restricted by the primarily short-term interest rate resetting of loans as well as the maturity matching refinancing in for-eign currencies. The interest rate change risks are internally and independently monitored by the Risk Department and periodically reported to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

Other market risksOther market risks are restricted by set limits. Positions in trading portfolios are evaluated daily at market conditions and monitored.

Liquidity risksLiquidity risks are managed by the Asset and Liability Management (ALM) department and are supervised by the ALM Committee. The Bank’s liquidity is con-tinuously monitored using a set of internal and ex-ternal ratios attributing particular weight to liquidity gap analysis and FINMA regulations as well as the internal ALM methodology.

Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014 I 15

Operational risksOperational risks are mitigated and controlled by means of internal regulations and organisational directives as well as adequate controls on the basis of process prescriptions. The Chief Risk Officer monitors deviations from the prescriptions and reports regularly to the Executive Board.

Compliance and legal risks Compliance ensures that the Bank’s processes are in line with the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. The Compliance function examines on an annual basis the compliance risk inventory and prepares a risk-based activity plan related to the management of compliance risks. Furthermore, the function is responsible for providing advice with the objective of avoiding or minimising identified com-pliance risks.

The Bank has its own in house legal team but addi-tional legal advice is procured from external sources according to requirements.

OutsourcingA third party company provides the funds transfer platform on a contractual basis. This contract was made in accordance with regulations issued by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). All employees of this service provider are subject to Swiss Banking Secrecy Law and confiden-tiality of data is thereby ensured.

The key IT systems are owned by the Bank and located on Bank premises but all the running and maintenance of the IT infrastructure was provided by external suppliers under the supervision of the

management. During the fourth quarter of 2013 and in 2014 the Bank built a professional IT team to manage the IT infrastructure, applications and new projects.

The internal audit and salary accounting functions are outsourced to a professional audit firm. These activities are not considered as outsourcing under the terms of the FINMA Circular 2008/7 (Outsour-cing – Banks).

2. Balance Sheet and valuation principles

Accounting, reporting and evaluations are based on the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations, the Swiss Federal Banking Law and its Ordinance as well as the statutes and guidelines of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) concerning the preparation of Financial Statements for banks (FINMA Circular 2008/2).

Recording of business transactionsAll business transactions are recorded as at trade date in the books of the Bank and are as of this time shown in the Balance Sheet and the profit and loss statement of the Bank in accordance with the set valuation principles, whereby the results of all concluded transactions are included in the profit and loss statement. Open forward transactions are shown off-Balance Sheet until maturity. As of ma-turity these transactions are included in the Balance Sheet.

16 I Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014

Translation of foreign currenciesTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded at daily market rates. The values of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the market rate of the Balance Sheet and results recorded in the profit and loss statement. Expenses and revenues in foreign currencies are translated at the market rate prevailing on the transaction date and are recorded in the profit and loss statement. Profits and losses from foreign currency translation are recognised as results from trading operations.

The following foreign currency exchange rates were used for translation as per the relevant Balance Sheet dates:

2014 2013

USD/CHF 0.9910 0.8819

EUR/CHF 1.2025 1.2274

GBP/CHF 1.5451 1.4736

General valuation principlesThe detailed positions stated in the balance sheet are evaluated individually (individual valuation).

Liquid funds, amounts due from and due to banks and due to customersThese funds and related interest due but still unpaid are recorded in the Balance Sheet at nominal value less required separate value adjustments which are shown as value adjustments and provisions.

Loans (claims towards customers)Claims towards customers are recorded in the Bal-ance Sheet at nominal value. Interest is accrued ac-cording to the relevant period.

Doubtful claims that are claims where it is unlikely that the debtor will be able to fulfil his future lia-bilities are evaluated on an individual basis and the reduction in value posted as a value adjustment.Off-Balance Sheet transactions like firm commit-ments, guarantees and derivative financial instru-ments are included in the evaluation. Interest due for more than 90 days is considered overdue. Over-due interest and interest unlikely to be received is not recorded in the profit and loss statement but added to value adjustments and provisions.

The value reduction results from the difference between the nominal value of the claim and the amount likely to be recovered considering the coun-terparty risk and the result from the realisation of collateral. If it is to be expected that the realisation of collateral takes more than a year, the estimated result from the realisation is discounted to the pre-sent value as per the Balance Sheet date. The Bank generally grants unsecured loans. Possible market-able collaterals are generally valued at current market prices.

Trading portfolios in securities and precious metalsTrading portfolios are evaluated and recorded at fair value. Fair value is considered to be the price quoted in an efficient and liquid market or the value resulting from the calculation using an appropriate

Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014 I 17

evaluation model. Trading portfolios, for which as an exception, a fair value cannot be ascertained, are treated according to the principle of lower of cost or market. As at the end of the year there were no trading portfolio positions.

Financial investmentsFixed interest bearing securities are valued ac-cording to the accrual method, i. e. a premium or a discount arising on acquisition is distributed over the remaining term and recorded accordingly. A value reduction due to a change in quality is re-corded immediately in the profit and loss state-ment. The Bank held no fixed interest bearing se-curities as at the end of the year.

Shares and similar securities are valued according to the principle of lower of cost or market.

Fixed assetsNew investments in fixed assets are capitalised and valued at purchase value provided they are used for more than one accounting period and the value ex-ceeds CHF 5,000. New investments in existing fixed assets are capitalised if this investment enhances the market or utilisation value or the life time sig-nificantly.

Fixed assets are recorded in the Balance Sheet at purchase value less accumulated depreciation. De-preciation is implemented systematically over the estimated utilisation period of the asset. Deprecia-tion is recorded in the profit and loss statement un-der the heading “Depreciation and write offs on non current assets”.

The value of fixed assets is re-evaluated whenever events or circumstances indicate that the book val-ue of the asset is no longer warranted.

The estimated utilisation terms for different fixed assets are as follows:

Building renovation 120 months

Fixtures, fittings and installations 60 months

Vehicles 60 months

Bank software 60 months

Computer and communication equipment 36 months

Realised profits or losses from the disposal of fixed assets are respectively recorded as “Extraordinary income” or “Extraordinary expense”.

Liabilities to pension planThe Bank does not have its own pension plan. The employees of the Bank are insured in the pension fund of Swiss Life. The pension fund of Swiss Life is a defined contribution scheme. All employees are insured against death and invalidity, and in addition, all employees who have reached the age of 24 are insured against old age from the start of the next calendar year. The pension age for men and women is as set by the law. The Bank includes the employer contributions in the Personnel expenses. The Bank has no further pension liabilities even in the case of the pension fund having an under coverage of its liabilities.

18 I Sberbank (Switzerland) AG I Annual Report 2014

TaxesProvisions have been made for all Federal, Cantonal and Commune taxes estimated to be payable on the basis of reported results through to the end of the current year. Current taxes for the relevant period are calculated according to regulations prescribed by the tax authorities and recorded as expenses in the same period. Capital and income taxes are disclosed under “Accrued expenses and deferred income”.

Indirect taxes due such as VAT are disclosed under “Other liabilities”.

Valuation adjustments and provisionsValuation adjustments and provisions are prudently created for all risks identifiable at the Balance Sheet date. General valuation adjustments and provisions cover latent risks.

Effective from 30 June 2013, and with a view to the expected considerable increase in the loan port folio, the Bank introduced a new loan loss provision meth-odology based on individual credit ratings driven by probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD).

In addition to economically necessary provisions silent reserves can be created in the form of “Other provisions” in order to cover general business risks.

Contingent liabilities and irrevocable commitmentsContingent liabilities and irrevocable commitments are recorded off-Balance Sheet at nominal value. For identifiable risks provisions are created in the Balance Sheet.

Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments for trading purpos-es are valued at fair value and the results recorded in “Results from trading operations”. Hedging transac-tions are valued on the same basis as the underlying hedged transaction.

Changes in comparison to the previous yearThere were no changes to the accounting and valu-ation principles compared to the previous year.

Events after the Balance Sheet dateNo extraordinary events occurred after the Balance Sheet date that could have a significant impact on the equity, financial state or results of the Bank with regard to the year under review.
