CARIBBEAN INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED - HALF-YEAR REPORT

Belize City, Belize, December 16, 2020 -- Caribbean Investment Holdings Limited (London - AIM: CIHL; Bermuda - CIHL) (the "Company" or "CIHL")

HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

Despite the pandemic, CIHL delivered a net profit before non-recurring items of US$0.6m (2019 - net income of US$5.1m) for the six months ended 30 September 2020.

 
 Interest income             Interest income for the six months decreased by US$1.7m or 11% due largely to minimal 
                             loan 
                             fees earned as lending was restricted during the period; additionally, interest reversals 
                             were recorded for two large commercial loans during the half year. 
 Non-interest income         Non-interest income decreased by US$1.6 million as the pandemic had significantly 
                             affected 
                             the flows of foreign currency thereby adversely impacting foreign exchange income as well 
                             as the cards business of the domestic bank. 
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Interest expense            Interest costs decreased by US$0.4m being a result of decreased interest rates on fixed 
                             deposits. 
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Credit impairment charges   Credit impairment charges increased by US$2.4 million reflecting the impact of revised 
                             IFRS 
                             9 scenarios cognizant of the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Non-interest expenses       Non-interest expenses decreased by US$0.7m reflecting cost discipline measures introduced 
                              following the pandemic. 
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Non-recurring item          Prior year's results include a non-recurring item of $7.2 million resulting from the 
                             reversal 
                             of a liability previously recorded for share options which expired on 01 August 2019.
