2 Annual Report 3 Amidst the diverse challenges posed by sanctions with regard to maintaining and developing correspondent banking relations, Saman’s international banking efforts yielded more favourable results in 2018/19 than in the previous year, translating to 47percent growth in the volume of our international operations. Furthermore, the cost price of money in Saman reduced from 15.3percent to 13.4percent and revenue from lending increased from the effective rate of 15.5percent to 17.4percent. Alongside these achievements, we enhanced operational efficiency in cost management and profitability. In order to advance the policies under the Saman 2021 Strategic Plan, we sought to prepare technical and procedural infrastructure and to enable our staff members to improve the quality and quantity of their services. The new performance-assessment model introduced in 2018/19 has considerably improved the performance of our staff and the operational procedures of the bank. Investments Another major achievement in 2018/19 concerned Saman’s investments. Saman Electronic Payment Company (SEP) was admitted to the and was well-received in the market. Thus, Saman registered a good added value as the outcome of 15 years of investment in this company. We closely monitor the megatrends in digital, banking, and payment industries and have adopted two approaches: First, we sponsor start-ups in fintech, investing in Tap30 and Mobillet and continuing to invest in Samantel. Second, we launched investments in four start-ups active in blockchain, fintech, commercial intelligence, and payment services through SEP. We expect our investments in SEP—which all align with current and future trends in the banking industry—will bring about considerable added value for the bank and for Saman Group in the near future. Research-based Planning All of our plans and initiatives are based on research efforts and studies that seek to reduce our operational and decision-making risks in the future. In addition to its training and education mission, two years ago Saman Statement of the Board and the CEO Academy of Banking began macroeconomic research and analysis, which form the basis of our economic forecasting based on trends in international, national currency, and credit sectors. For example, macroeconomic reports of Saman Academy helped us adopt proper decisions in our international policies and earn a substantial income from foreign exchange operations by accurately forecasting exchange rates.

By the end of the financial year 2018/19, Saman celebrated its 20th year of proud business in the Iranian economy. Capital Increase These 20 years were filled with invaluable experiences and countless achievements and innovations toward Higher exchange rates meant a considerable number of our customers active in production and business sectors facilitating a new style of banking in our beloved . faced huge difficulties in securing cash reserve and revolving cash. If the bank failed to support them in this As the first privately owned financial-credit institute in the Country, Saman has introduced diverse concepts in difficult time, they would likely leave the bank or enter into stagnation. In order to adapt to these new conditions banking and economy since its inception. By introducing advanced technologies and electronic payment facilities, and accommodate our customer’s needs, we started a capital increase journey. During 2018/19, we adopted Saman successfully added smart solutions to people’s businesses and their banking experience. policies to pave the way for capital increase in 2019/20. The Board intends to accomplish this capital increase before the end of financial year 2019/20. Our first and second strategic plans—based on the three principles of Convenience, Speed, and Trust enabled us to revolutionise our procedures and servicing standards, thereby enhancing customer loyalty. These policies Supporting Production brought us close to our important goal of ‘becoming the first-choice bank for customers’, and we were chosen as the most ‘beloved bank in Iran’ by a public vote of more than 60 thousand participants in 2018/19 as in the previous We adopted our support programs to encourage production under two strategic approaches. First, we increased year. our lending to the production sector by 40 percent compared with the previous year. We intend to increase lending capability by increasing the bank’s capital while boosting the velocity of money through lending to the production 2018/19, A Turning Point for Saman and consumption chains in food and pharmaceutical industries, which are the two focal industries of Saman’s business banking. The financial year 2018/19 is considered a turning point in the 20-year history of Saman Bank. As a result of the positive changes in the Iranian economic environment that started in 2017/18, and in view of the new approach of On the other hand, by designing new credit products, for the staff members of these producing companies, we are the , we turned the challenges caused by the re-imposition of sanctions and the US withdrawal taking serious steps towards the preserving and incising their motivations and we hope these entities with less of the JCPOA into opportunities for growth. This was made possible because of the existing infrastructures and worries in their human recourses affairs, they would have more concentrations on production. capabilities. First Choice in International Banking In another important turning point during this year, we made the first phase of our new strategic plan, named Saman 2021, operational and have already experienced its positive outcomes. Under our strategy of becoming the first-choice partner for international , we continue to strengthen our international presence and expand our correspondent banking relations through full compliance with international Profitability in International Banking and standards. In spite of the re-imposition of sanctions, we preserved our representative office in Italy, which improved our extensive and constructive interactions with the Italian central bank. We continue to follow-up our One of our main programs in Saman 2021 has been to continue the optimisation and simplification of internal application for opening our branch in Germany, and we hope to open this branch in the near future. methods and procedures to enhance operational efficiency. By relying on past experiences and regular customer surveys and by employing experienced international advisors, we advantageously increased service and product sales and reduced operational and executive costs, as reflected in the 2018/19 financial statements showing increased joint revenues (from lending) of 31percent and reduced costs in spite of inflation rates exceeding 27percent.

4 Annual Report 5 Risk Management One of the dynamic and active pillars of Saman is the risk committee and risk management unit, which is responsible for managing, controlling, and reducing the three major risks in the bank. These are as follows: • Credit risk: New infrastructures created in 2019/20 to ensure credit rating of all loan applicants, whether in retail or corporate banking. Our credit-rating system has been implemented with the help of a German company, Scope Group. This system will be used in Iran, as well as in our branch in Germany. Consequently, Saman’s NPLs ratio continues to decrease, even in the current economic climate in Iran. • Liquidity risk: We have controlled liquidity to an effective—but not excessively low—level and reduced the cost price of resources from 15.3 percent to 13.4 percent. Our Asset and Liability Committee has gained invaluable experiences in this area during its 8 years of activity. Fortunately, Saman’s account with the Central Bank has never been in debit, and Saman plays an active role in the interbank market as net lander. • Market risk: Currency exchange rate risk serves as the main component of this section. We strive to abide by CBI regulations and maintain a limited and controlled open position. Anti-Money-Laundering and Compliance of Highest International Standards Saman takes great pride in adhering faithfully to standards of international banking relations; therefore, anti-money-laundering and compliance are major priorities for us. In addition to maintaining full compliance with all national rules and regulations, Saman has benefited the advice of a competent international consultant to review and optimise operational methods for the past 18 months and has obtained an international certificate for the improvement of operational methods and procedures. Saman is successfully implementing the highest international standards in all staff and line units, creating a competitive advantage in international correspondent banking.

34 Annual Report 35 In light of the unstable conditions of the market during 2018/19 and in order to reduce credit risk under such conditions, we designed a new product called ‘group credit card’ to be offered to qualified organisations through the Saman branch network. Until the end of the year under report, Saman entered into credit service contracts with 136 different organisations and issued 17,006 credit cards for a total amount of IRR 4,045,358 million for their personnel. In view of the competitive market and to encourage card reader users to bring all their banking accounts to Saman, we designed special credit packages for SME customers who used Saman card readers in their businesses. In the first phase, we identified about 24,000 qualified customers from around 225,000 businesses who had Saman card readers and provided the lists (updated monthly) to their respective branches for marketing and follow-up. Furthermore, informative text messages were sent to qualified customers every month. By the end of the reported year, 2,457 customers visited our branches, borrowed a total of IRR 294,354 million, and were issued credit cards for the amount of IRR 1,120,132 million. In order to attract customers from academia, we signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Under this memorandum, 3,151 credit cards in the total amount of IRR 1,292,386 million was issued until the end of the reported year for the faculty members and other university staff, and a sum of IRR 49,355 million was paid in loan. In order to increase revenue from fees and commissions, we reviewed our terms and conditions for issuing letters of guarantee. As a result, Saman’s terms and conditions are now highly competitive in comparison with other banks and attractive to customers. We further designed a special package for issuing letters of Guarantee to cover obligations of travel agencies vis-à-vis the air and railways transport companies. Consequently, we attracted 61 travel agencies and issued 181 letters of Guarantee for them in the short period between the launch of the product and the end of the financial year. The bank issued hundreds of small loans as part of our social responsibility scheme.

As a general rule, in the banking industry, the inflow of sources should be consistent with the outflow of sources the failure of which may lead to three possible scenarios to bring about liquidity shortage for the bank 60-5-3- Methods of measuring the market risk as follows: The bank trading portfolio is made up of two segments: • Scenario 1: In this scenario it is assumed that the inflow and outflow of sources by depositors will take place in normal conditions. However, the collection of debts by or recovery of sources from the borrowers • Shares/stocks will happen less quickly. As such, the borrowers will have the sources at their disposal for a longer • Foreign exchange open positions period of time. In evaluating the market risk of shares, the value at-risk of total shares portfolio with a confidence level of 99% • Scenario 2: In this scenario it is assumed that outflow of sources by depositors will happen more will be calculated. quickly. As such, the inflow of new sources and return of sources by lenders will not cover the outflow of sources. Pursuant to Basel II requirements and the CBI’s evidence regarding the market risk, the historical simulation method shall be employed to calculate the necessary capital to cover the risk of shares portfolio. Notably, as • Scenario 3: In this scenario, it is assumed that outflow of sources by depositors will increase and regards the foreign exchange market risk, the Forex open position for the total portfolio as well as the degree simultaneously return of sources by borrowers will slide out of normal conditions. of positive/negative open position of each of the currencies and the amount of required capital for the Forex risk One of the most applicable ratios for testing the liquidity crisis is the LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio). To define coverage and value-at-risk of foreign currency portfolio, the historical simulation method will also be used. The a hypothetical scenario regarding LCR, it will be imperative to exercise hypothetical shocks to the inflow and open position of a foreign currency will include the absolute value of the following items: outflow of assets and measure their impact on this ratio and crisis borderline.
