This report covers the 12 months to March 20 2011 – a highly successful year that saw us increase our total income by almost 32% and our net profit by 72%. We also grew total loans by 76.2%, and deposits by close to 38%, increasing our return on assets by nearly 17% and return on shareholders’ equity by 18%. We made these achievements despite an ongoing investment programme that saw us expand our branch network from 106 to 123, our ATMs from 390 to 519, and our employee base from 1,506 to 1,618. The year also saw us gain a 25% share of the international market serviced by Iran’s leading six privately-owned banks, as we continued to strengthen our network of correspondent banks in close to 40 countries across the world. A new strategic approach Results aside, this has also been one of the most important periods in Saman’s history, as we marked the first year of our second decade. During this year we devised and began to implement the new strategy that I and my board colleagues believe to be the right response to the challenges and opportunities we anticipate over the next five years. This strategy builds on our work of the last ten years, when we successfully carved out our own niche as one of the most successful and respected of the new Iranian banks. On this journey, our most productive focus was our pioneering approach to internet and electronic banking, an area in which we established a leadership position as ‘The Intelligent Bank’. 8 Skills, professionalism and commitment Priorities change as markets develop, however, and we have come to recognise that a positioning based exclusively on technology is vulnerable to competitor advancement. Indeed, in a maturing market place, we believe that the only truly unique and non-replicable source of competitive advantage must be based on the superior skills, commitment and professionalism of our people. These combine to deliver a consistently high-quality experience for customers, who are encouraged not only to remain loyal but also to act as advocates among their social and business networks. For us, this means redefining and expanding the meaning of ‘Intelligent’ to include all the positive attributes that our different customer groups are looking for. During the year, we started to develop the genuine customer focus that will enable us to achieve these goals. In doing so, we will fulfil our five-year strategic objective of becoming a bank that consistently delivers quality, speed, convenience and trust to promote customer loyalty and advocacy. Achieving this goal will not be easy. It means embedding a customer-focused attitude into our corporate culture and in every one of our employees, so that it is second nature to us all. This in turn means committing considerable resources to employee training to ensure that our customers receive a personal service that they appreciate and remember. If we can introduce this new focus across today’s 123-branch network in Iran, which is set to grow significantly in years to come, we will have an unbeatable proposition. While our people will be the lynchpin of our customer strategy, they will also be supported by the use of a new loyalty management tool which will enable us to identify and resolve any weaknesses in our dealings with customers. If we are to earn and deserve the trust and loyalty of our customers, we must also respond rapidly and ruthlessly to any instances of wrongdoing that we discover among our staff. This is something that is already underway, and we will continue to make every effort to ensure that our customers benefit from the scrupulous honesty of all our people, both at head office and throughout the branch network. A positive impact We are still in very early days of our new strategic approach, but I believe that our work completed to date has already had a positive impact on our results from 2010/11 (see page 6 for details). These results confirm we are heading in the right direction and presage further progress in the years to come. I would like to thank my Board colleagues for their vision and rigour, and our employees for the enormous efforts they are making to ensure our continued success. Finally, I would like to thank our customers and our shareholders, first for choosing Saman Bank and particularly for staying loyal to us as we enter this new era. Vali Zarrabieh President and CEO 9 ANNUAL REPORT 2010/11 OVERVIEW CORPORATE PROFILE Headquartered in Tehran, Saman Bank is one of Iran’s six leading privately-owned banks. It serves a diverse client-base of private retail customers, high net worth individuals and businesses via its 123-branch network across the country. Even in an increasingly competitive and regulated environment, Saman’s focused approach to becoming first choice for its target customers is successfully driving growth in market share and business volume. It held a 9.5% market share among Iran’s six leading privately-owned banks in 2010/11 (up from 8.6% in 2009/10) and a 2.16% share of the country’s entire banking industry, up from 1.92% in 2009/10.
