PERFORMANCE REPORT YEAR 2008 Chairmans Address On behalf of the Board of Directors of Ecobank Liberia Limited, I welcome you to the 9th Annual General Meeting and present to you a review of the corporate environment along with a report on the performance and achievement of your bank for the financial year ended 31st December 2008. The year represents another milestone in the life of the bank inspite of the global economic crisis; it succeeded in consolidating its business and achieved a good financial performance. It is therefore my pleasure to present to you today highlights of the performance of Ecobank Liberia for the year ended 31st December 2008. Operating Environment The Liberian economy witnessed significant strides in year 2008. The country received debt waivers from both bilateral and multilateral creditors while a number of donor funds were equally received by the Government in the recovery process. The successful resolution of a number of the nations external debts, restructuring of others and the inflow of foreign donors and investment provided a leeway for the government during the year. The continued presence of the United Nation Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) coupled with the democratic governance goes a long way in stabilizing the country. A number of initiatives towards poverty eradication through partnership with private sector and International Agencies are being implemented. Bilateral talks are also on going with Countries and Foreign Investors to explore the opportunities in mechanized rice production, mining and oil exploration. Generally, the economy continued to show signs of progress during the year. It is expected that the economy will become stronger with a very high hope of inflow of more direct foreign investment in the near future. The banks operated in a dynamic environment as competition heightened up in the wake of further licensing of more financial institutions by the Central Bank of Liberia during the year. Ecobank Liberia again set another record for itself as the first bank to win the 2008 Bankers Awards in Liberia. The award was in recognition of the banks demonstration of innovative and exciting ways of improving service delivery and profits in a most testing environment. The bank is to be fully supported by the Ecobank Group Shared Service and Technology Centre; an ultra-modern and robust technology platform which enables back office operations to be processed with high level of speed, accuracy and efficiency. Banking services are conducted on-line -real time. Meanwhile, following the recapitalization of the bank in 2007, a good number of large ticket transactions were financed thus impacting positively on the bank and the economy at large. The banks network has equally increased from its previous twenty one channels to twenty eight channels (twelve branches and sixteen dedicated channels) as at the end of the accounting year. Point of Sales Terminals (POS) were added to the multi-channels of products available to customers in addition to the Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) introduced for the first time into the Liberian economy in 2007 by Ecobank. Additional strategic partnerships were developed in furtherance of small and medium scale enterprise promotion. 6
Ecobank Liberia is not just successful as a financial institution, it equally provides support to the society as a socially responsible corporate organization. The bank provides supports to entrepreneurial and asset development, sports and women empowerment during the year. Our unalloyed commitments in giving back to the society continue to be part of our corporate social responsibility. Financial Results The bank continues to show great resilience with the increasing competition. As of today, licensed banks stands at eight while Ecobank maintain the leading role. The growth pattern of Ecobank Liberia on all key performance indices is far above the industry norm. The growth in channels in line with the Retail Bank focus of Ecobank translates to improved deposit mobilization, business development and improved profitability. Gross earnings of the Bank grew to L$1,176.07million ($18.32million) from its 2007 figure of L$817.35million ($12.97million) representing an increase of 44%. Net Interest Margin increase by 58% closing at L$399.53million ($6.22million) from L$253.07 million ($4.02million) recorded in the prior year. Fees and commissions also increased by 38% from L$547.08million ($8.68million) in 2007 to L$752.39million ($11.72million) in the current year. The above translated to Profit before tax of L$340.90million ($5.31million) over last years figure of $247.08million ($3.9million) while Profit after tax increased by L$72.25million ($1.13million), from L$163.06 million ($2.6million) in 2007 to L$235.31 million ($3.67million) in the current year. Risk assets increased by 54% as additional loans and advances were granted during the year. Net credit portfolio increased from L$2.19billion ($34.84million) to L$3.39billion ($52.82million) during the year. Total assets grew by 51%, from L$5.93billion ($94.12million) of the previous year to L$8.96billion ($139.61million). The growth in assets was funded by the increase in deposits. The deposit volume increased from L$4.57billion ($72.56million) in 2007 to L$7.09billion ($110.49million) as at 31st December 2008 while the shareholders funds also increased by 29% from L$609.21million ($9.67million) last year to L$786.33million ($12.25million). On the basis of the improved performance and to underscore the commitment to deliver exceptional shareholder value, the directors are recommending a total dividend of $1.25million which translates to $0.3 per share.

In addition to the traditional banking services, our introduced electronic banking services like the Automatic Teller Machine, Point of Sales Terminals and Internet Banking will continue to enhance service delivery to customers. Our objective is to provide convenient, reliable and easy-to-use products and services to our customers for quality and satisfaction.

To further boost our products and service offering, the bank is again about to launch the VISA Product into the Liberian Market for its teeming customers. On the whole, we are committed to exceeding our customers expectation in all facets of our services. The Future The need for improved infrastructures that will reduce the cost of doing business and promote an enabler for desired economic growth and development in the country cannot be over emphasized. The ability of the government to achieve the lofty objectives of the budget in the face of the global economic crisis is fundamental to economic and social development of the nation.

We will continue to target new opportunities, strengthen strategic partnerships, and enhance value proposition to customers.

Financial Position Ecobank continues to be very sound and solvent. The banks ability to meet depositors withdrawals requirement as measured by the ratio of cash, short term funds and bank balances to total deposit liabilities is well above industry standard of 15% minimum liquidity requirement, implying a healthy liquidity position. Network Given the Retail Bank focus of the bank, Ecobank Liberia sustained its aggressive branch network during the year coupled with the on line real time technology platform to meet customers needs in an efficient and effective manner. The bank increased its branches and channels in the year under review to twenty eight from the previous twenty one. The bank was the very first to take banking services outside the shores of Monrovia by opening branches in Ganta, Buchanan, Paynesville, cash centers in Gbanga and Harbel, while its physical presence in Zwendu, Voinjaman, Pleebo, Kakata amongst others are nearing completion. The Ecobank Group operates in twenty-six countries in the Western, Central, Middle and Southern Africa in keeping with its calling as truly Pan African. Wholesale Banking The Wholesale Bank manages clients with formal management structure and significant turnover. The Group equally has responsibility for the Public Sector as it relates to the Central and County Administrations. The Wholesale sub-sector is structured by industry groups comprising of Energy, Commerce, Manufacturing, Construction, Mining, Logging, Agriculture and Civil Service. Retail Banking Retail Banking Group manages products and services aimed at promoting growth for Consumer and Micro, Small and Medium Scales (MSME) businesses.

The Group relates with various Non Governmental Organizations, Embassies, International Organizations and Insurance Companies. Trading on foreign exchange is also the responsibility of Treasury. 14
Technology and Telecommunication Technology and Telecommunication in Ecobank is used as a tool to drive service delivery. The bank continues to upgrade its technology platform to better satisfy the needs of the customers. In addition to the tremendous supports from the robust centralized Group technology platform, the subsidiary upgraded its technology during the year to suit both the regulatory need and enhance efficiencies in service delivery to customers. The bank continues to be on-line real-time. People The laudable performance in 2008 can largely be attributable to the commitment and loyalty of the staff and management of the bank. The staff displays unequal commitment towards the realization of corporate goals. The bank appreciates the direction of the management team and the guided support from the Board of Directors and the Ecobank Group Office. Ecobank Liberia will continue to train its personnel to outperform the expectations of its teeming customers. We place a very high premium on quality service hence we ensure that staff acquire the competencies necessary for effective financial service delivery. We will continue to groom workforce that would not be easily reproduced in any bank in Liberia and thus provide role model for the banking industry and the society at large. Customer Service A major focus in Ecobank Liberia is to make the customers happy. We have developed measurable indices and feedbacks towards customers satisfaction. We benchmark our service delivery to the best financial institutions in the globe. Brand Development Ecobank mission is to become the World Class African Banking Group.

Services using world class standards of measurement; customers satisfactions remain very critical to core and all operations of the bank. Corporate Governance The Ecobank Group had since adopted the IFC principles and methodology on corporate governance to guide its corporate governance framework. In keeping with the best corporate governance rules, the board continues to take responsibilities as contained in the Banks Article of Association, the applicable laws in the country aligned with international best practices. The Board has remained strong and focused in performing its statutory responsibilities. 15
Regulation and Supervision Ecobank Liberia, like any other financial institution in the country is subject to the supervision and examination of the Central Bank of Liberia through its Banking Supervision Department. The parent company Ecobank Transnational Incorporated provides technical assistance apart from oversight functions to facilitate franchise protection. Competition The world is a global village hence competition is in the interest of best practices and Customer satisfaction. The operating environment comes with multifaceted challenges and opportunities, our bank appreciates this fact and is resolved to continue to compete positively with other banks in the Liberian economy and complement other regional international banks. We have strategic partnership with agencies and institutions to ensure the availability of comprehensive and qualitative financial services to our customers. We believe with all due humility that we provide unparallel quality in service delivery to our customers. Inflation and Currency Movement The Central Bank continues in its effort to maintain a high level of healthy business practice in the banking sector leading to relative stability, predictability and confidence. However, infrastructural limitations have an impact of the level of bank effectiveness, while inflation and exchange rates fluctuations may also be taking some toll. Conclusion The year 2008 remains outstanding for Ecobank as it was capped with the winning of the 2008 Banker of the Year Award issued by the Banker/ Financial Times; a strong balance sheet and earnings, innovative products and services, and a formidable Bank Network. We commit to quality services at all times and look forward to the support of our customers and other stake holders.
