The Overview hereunder is of the consolidated financial statements.
Management control of HBL was transferred to Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development, S.A., Switzerland after signing of agreement with the Privatisation Commission, Government of Pakistan on February 26, 2004. As such, the year ended December 31, 2005 is the first full year under the new management. JCR-VIS has assigned entity rating in the medium and long term at "AA" (Double A) and "A-1+" for the short term.
As at December 31, 2005, the SBP and the A KFED are the two major shareholders of HBL, with shareholding at 60.5% and 38.5% respectively. The SECP, NBP (Trustee Department) and the Privatisation Commission have insignificant shareholding.
Total assets of HBL Group saw 8% increase to Rs 529 billion on December 31, 2005 compared to Rs 488 billion as on December 31, 2004. On December 31, 2005 Investments declined by 20% to Rs 107 billion (20% of Total Assets) compared to Rs 134.5 billion (28% of TA) as on December 31, 2004. Of the total, HBL has 80% investments in Available for Sale Securities (2004: 78%).
HBL's Advances as on December 31, 2005 were Rs 317 billion (60% of Total Assets), registering 22% increase over 2004 Advances at Rs 259 billion (53% of TA). On December 31, 2005, 85% Advances (2004: 83%) are in local currency, while 68% (2004: 63%) of the total Advances are for short term. Major exposure of HBL on December 31, 2005 is in Textile (26%), Chemicals & Pharmaceutical (2%), Agribusiness (7%), Cement (5%), Financials (2%), Public Sector (10%), General Traders (2%), Automotives (2%), and Others including Individuals (44%).
As on December 31, 2005, the authorised capital of HBL stood at Rs 13.8 billion comprising 1,380 million ordinary shares of Rs 10 each. The paid up capital on this date was Rs 6.9 billion. As on December 31, 2005 gross NPLs are Rs 31.360 billion (2004: Rs 44.506 billion). In percentage terms gross NPLs on December 31, 2005 are 12% of gross Advances (2004: 15% of GA). On Net basis, NPLs are 2.47% of Advances as on December 31, 2005 (2004: 4.32% of Advances).
It may be noted that HBL has made full provision against NPLs according to the SBP criteria. However, as some doubtful loans have the tendency to stay under cover for sometime due to different reasons, a prudent policy for HBL would be that the management remains extra vigilant in the appraisal and monitoring of all loans.
Total revenues of HBL for 2005 increased by 43% to Rs 40 billion compared to Rs 28 billion for the previous year. Net interest income (after provisions) for 2005 experienced almost 100% increase to Rs 22 billion (2004: Rs 11.4 billion). Total mark up-interest expense represented 23 % of total mark up income for 2005, compared to 25% for 2004. Against expectations, there has been 2% average decline in the payout by the bank to the Depositors.
Non-mark up income of the bank for 2005 was lower at Rs 7.8 as against Rs 9.8 billion for 2004. The year 2005 was closed with After-tax Profit attributable to HBL shareholders at Rs 9.56 billion (2004: Rs 5.67 billion). ROE for the year is attractive at 23.8% (2004: 18%). Cash dividend proposed to be paid to the shareholders was 10% (2004: 5%). Performance statistics are given below.
Regarding Commitments in respect of forward lending it has been said in the notes that "the Group makes commitments to extend credit in the normal course of its business but none of these commitments are irrevocable and do not attract any significant penalty or expense if the facility is unilaterally withdrawn". The borrowers mostly do like unilateral withdrawals and HBL might reconsider this stance.
