Financial results
EIIB Group delivered stable financial performance for the six months to 30 June 2013.
Total operating income was £3.6m for the period to 30 June 2013 (period to 30 June 2012: £4.6m). Total expenses for the period were £4.3m (2012: £5.4m). The loss for the period was £0.75m.
The bank maintained its strong capital adequacy, regulatory and liquidity ratios. The Regulatory Capital of the Group at 30 June 2013 stood at £97.0m (£99.5m at 31 December 2012).
Commentary
In the first half of the year we continued to implement our strategy of developing our core asset management capabilities whilst also enhancing our specialist banking business. We also continued to implement our restructuring plan and to maintain tight cost control.
Earlier this year the US Federal Reserve indicated a possible tapering in quantitative easing which resulted in a sell-off in bond markets worldwide. The impact on our performance was mitigated by our position at the shorter end of the rate curve and relatively good securities selection, enabling us to outperform the relevant indices. Although we outperformed during a period of heightened volatility, overall, our first half result was adversely affected by these events.
The performance of our asset management business was encouraging, with AUM increasing from US$922m to US$1.004bn during the period. The underlying business was strong with gross inflows of US$441m, but instability in the region and unexpected regulatory changes in Egypt led to higher redemptions resulting in net positive inflows of US$82m. Investment performance during the period was positive, with all of our flagship funds having outperformed relevant benchmarks and/or peer group averages over one year.
The investment banking team completed a £5.4m financing of a property portfolio in central London on a fully Sharia'a compliant basis. We expect to originate more opportunities in the second half of the year.
We maintained strong focus on our legacy private equity investments. In the first half we completed the sale of an office building in Cairo for US$6.2m and settled the related financing. We also sold an Islamic debt obligation to Barclays Bank for US$8.1m. We will continue our efforts to extract value from our legacy private equity portfolio going forward.
Given the challenging operating environment, the Group delivered a satisfactory performance for the six months to 30 June 2013.
Outlook
In June the global index compiler MSCI upgraded the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") and Qatar to Emerging Market status from Frontier Market. Effective May 2014, the UAE and Qatar will be given a weighting of 0.4 percent and 0.45 percent respectively in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
This upgrade marks a new era for capital flows into the Gulf and is important for developing the region as a destination for equity investment in the long term. EIIB is positioned as a specialist bank with asset management at its core, offering investors outstanding performance based on deep GCC and MENA expertise and contacts. We have a track record of investing in these markets and we will leverage this unique capability to meet rising investor demand for regional assets.
Although trading conditions have been challenging in the first half, the Group remains confident of its prospects for the current year.
We look forward to reporting further progress at the year end.
