The following figure illustrates that Saman Bank has secured an appropriate growth among Iranian companies regarding economic consequences of domestic recession and international sanctions during the last 5 years. Although banks are extremely affected by environmental economic situations, this achievement and growth has been attained through reliance on a targeted strategy and directing resources to valuable markets in order to control economic situations.

Board of Directors Report

The 2015/16 had an important characteristic for us as the last year of the Bank five-year strategic plan. It was necessary to focus our attempts on finalizing and concluding executive plans and predetermined objectives. The plan was started in 2011-2012 and had four strategies including: to be the first choice of target customers, international banks and talented and committed work force and achieving the maximum share of market among private banks in foreign currency transactions and operations. It is noteworthy that during the 2015/16, new regulations were passed establishing some restrictions on the banking system including Saman Bank. The law on Removal of Limitations from Competitive Production, withholding loans predicted in the annual budget regulations extending to private banks, restrictive regulations on interest rate of loans and deposits (specifically the maximum interest rate was determined by participating contracts expected rates and notified to Banks for the first time after passing the law on Interest-free Banking Operations), restrictive regulations on revenue recognition and determining attorneys’ fee and similar restrictions has led to increase expenses and reduce revenue opportunities in the banking business environment. Success in the (nuclear) negotiation created new hopes for an open economic environment. But in practice, due to limitations on the banking system of the country, there were a deep recession in the economic environment so that in the second half of the 2015/16, a plan for getting out of recession was introduced by the country economic officials. Therefore, achievement of bank in any planned strategy needed much effort in planning and executing procedures. However, in the last year we attempted to adapt our abilities and capacities with the needs and capacities of customers and the market in order to provide complete and up-to-dated services and products.

Regarding the need for developing information technology in our society, we have had always a focus on developing infrastructures and application of new E-banking technologies. On the other hand, considering technology, we attempted to eliminate traditional procedures and methods and make evolution in services provided to customers. This consideration has been achieved by changing physical decoration of branches, customer turnover styles and grouping customers, optimizing work and office task processes, defining specialized services and products for customers and extending international service capacities. The statistical reviews on the customers’ satisfaction index show a promotion from 78 to 85 percent and for the customers’ loyalty index a promotion from 81 to 86 percent is achieved. It should be noted that Saman Bank has won the Statue for Popular Bank in the last year based on votes of 25000 banking customers which selected Saman bank as their first choice to open an account.

In terms of financial structures and cost management, although the (CBI) helped reduce the cost of money by entering to inter-banking market at the ending months, limitations and unfair competition specifically by non-authorized financial institutions led to significant restrictions for banks in common revenue areas for the first 8 months of the year. It is noteworthy that despite the general inflation, fees and commissions rates of banks are determined by the CBI and has been constant in the last 4 years and the banks were not allowed to increase the rates. On the other hand, the high costs of absorbing and keeping deposits as a result of the CBI regulations on loans interest rates, led to reduce the bank revenues. However we tried to continue the strategic plan strongly. Since determining the reasonable business direction is the most important achievement of any strategic plan, this achievement was attained in Saman Bank and we were able to increase the efficiency of the bank during the last year as a result of continuing the strategic plan.

uncertain economic conditions. As an economic institution, we acknowledged having a serious role and tried to play an appropriate role in this area. In terms of revenue making, two important indices of resistance economy are revenue diversity and reducing dependency to oil oriented revenues. We tried to provide non-oil export supporting tools to domestic manufacturers and exporters in order to improve the country revenues from exporting activities consistent with resistance economy policies. In the last year, Saman bank has acted in favor of policies issued by the Supreme Leader about resistance economy and governmental and the CBI economic policies. These actions include granting loans about IRR 20,000 billion to small and medium sized entities, granting interest-free marriage loans to the youth, granting interest-free loans to the dependents of Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation and Welfare Organization, granting financing loans to import fundamental commodities (food and pharmaceutical products) and agency of the National Development Fund and financing 30 percent of capital market transactions through granting loans to correspondents which led to an improvement in the capital market.

The economic situations after two difficult periods of recession created many problems for Iranian manufacturers and merchants. Therefore, we faced promptly the effects of these conditions as an economic intermediate between investors and lenders. Understanding the circumstance, we tried to protect manufacturers and merchants considering the principle of bank benefits. But it is obvious that in the business environment of the country in which most of economic activities and industries face with reduced profitability and termination, as an economic and intermediate institution, bank cannot continue revenue making and profitability trends without any effects of economic recession. The reason is that in this situation, granting healthy loans, collecting receivables and selling collaterals owned are difficult and time consuming processes considering these items as sources of revenues. However we planned appropriately and assigned credit rating tasks to Hafez Saman Iranian Co. which had a brilliant performance in the last year. Following up the receivables, most of the bank receivables are decided and sufficient provisions has been considered. Our vision is to sell collateral properties generating cash to provide liquidity for the Despite the annual increase in the wages by the law on work force, we could decrease total administrative and bank operational cycles. general expenses significantly, however increasing expenses related to Deposit Guarantee Fund and acceptors Our main plan in the 2016-2017 is to increase common revenues on one side and manage costs to optimize branch commissions in the last three months of the year led to bank failure in controlling operational expenses and an structures and bank balance sheet on the other side. Considering implementation of the JCPOA and related increase in total administrative and general expenses comparing with previous year. facilities, we have some infrastructural and business plans which are based on optimizing bank operations through In the area of income from fees and commissions which was made by foreign currency operations, we experienced a optimizing performance of branches, developing E-banking services on mobile apps and web and providing services 47 percent growth rate and we had 49 percent growth rate for income from investments in different areas. to international cards, revising processes of providing services to customers, developing new products and services, entering to new markets of corporate banking and big customers. We also have an important plan to open agency Our five-year performance in the strategic plan of being the first choice of foreign banks as well as our offices in two European countries and considering international relationships, for the next year, we have decided to readiness to comply with international standards and regulations helped us be one of the first banks accepted prepare our financial statements in accordance with the CBI standards for internal purposes as well as IFRS based by international banks and we started our negotiations to expand relationships with international banks after the financial statements for international purposes. Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was reached. We have had a good role in becoming the first choice th of correspondents and corporate customers. We have been successful in attracting domestic big companies and Approaching the 18 anniversary of the bank establishment and using the experience of executing a statistically providing services to foreign companies operating in Iran. One of the most important achievements of implementing successful five-year strategic plan, we have decided to provide two developed three-year strategic plans for future our strategic plan was optimizing services provided by branches through reducing the customers’ waiting time and years considering the Saman Bank in the 1400 year. The main elements and objectives of the new strategic plans providing consulting and professional services. will be to develop new market services in corporate banking, optimizing branches, fundamental changes in IT areas consistent with global trends, expanding international relationships in E-banking and business areas.

In this area we always follow two basic goals: appropriate performance in terms of profit or loss and compliance with international AML standards. Our vision is to invite an international big audit firm to help comply with AML international standards and catch necessary certifications. Saman Bank Board of Directors From another view, the 2015/16 is the year of releasing sanctions and recession for Iran economy. In one side we faced economic recession and significant decrease in oil prices and on the other side we observed positive indications of expanding relationships with international banks and companies in the Iranian market.

The final achievement in nuclear negotiations at the end of last year made a mental relaxation among economic participants and brought stability to the market so that the CI credit rating institute promoted the bank rank from “stable” to “positive” position in terms of financial and international capabilities. The economic growth of Iran has been predicted as 4.4 percent by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, similarly, the CBI has predicted this rate more than 5 percent.

Business environment and indications of domestic efforts to join the world economy has created many fears and hopes and Managing these fears and hopes needs understanding the circumstance and trying to make smart decisions according to up-to-dated banking standards and participating actively and effectively in the Iran and the world banking markets.

The main Iranian economic policy in recent years has been enhancing domestic capacities in order to face with

The executive plan for liquidity crisis investee company’s shares (whichever is less). testing is performed through identification of factors creating liquidity crisis by studying previous • Investment committee- transaction amount up to IRR. 50 billion in a day or 10% of an investee literature, determining major risk factors, shocks and effect on assets and liabilities, developing company’s share (whichever is less). scenarios in favor of assets and liabilities, modeling the liquidity crisis test on the basis of internal affecting factors, evaluating the probability of liquidity crisis and keeping an appropriate level of • Deputy investment and affiliates- transaction amount from IRR. 3 to 30 billion in a day or less liquidity in response to cash outflows and preventing high expense cash . than 5% of an investee company’s share.
