During H1'08, PAT has shown a slight decline of 2.1% to be Rs 431 million as compared to H1'07. Despite an increase in operating profits, PAT has been lower because of the higher provisioning against the NPLs. Gross markup income increased by 30%, and the markup expenses increased by 33%, causing the net interest income to increase by 19% to be Rs 435 million.
Non-markup income has increased albeit slightly. The increase from dividend income, fee brokerage and commission income as well as income from trading in foreign securities has been offset by a loss on the sale of securities.
In the previous half, gain on sale of securities contributed the major chunk of the non-interest income. However, an analysis of non-interest income reveals that Mybank has successfully diversified its sources of earning which has enabled it to earn well even in times of a bearish equity market. The balance sheet figures show a moderate growth; lending to the financial institutions increased by 173%, an increase in the advances by 11.1% and a marginal decline in investment portfolio. The increase in the assets has been funded by an increase in the deposits by 6.3% and borrowings by 118%.
The EAR is 85% on June 30, 2008 vis-a-vis 83.6% on Dec-07. ADR is 72.04% as compared to 68.9% on December 31, 2008. The increase in ADR is a positive sign amidst a general decline in the industry's ADRs. NPLs have grown by 13.8%. They form 5.8% of the total advances in H1'08, as compared to 5.4% of advances as on Dec'07. The bank has decided to issue 25% right shares at par; ie 25 shares for every 100 ordinary shares held to meet the minimum capital requirement of the State Bank of Pakistan. After the increase, the paid-up capital of the bank will be PKR 5.303 billion.
In 2007, Mybank has made significant strides in terms of growth in assets, infrastructure, human capital and stakeholders' interests at large. 2007 has so far been the turnaround year in the bank's history with unprecedented growth in nearly all facets of the bank's performance. These positive indicators have partially been offset by changes in regulatory framework resulting in higher provisioning against non-performing portfolio during 2007. The bank has continued to focus on core banking activities to generate business, which is imperative to the long-term stability of the organization and has invested heavily in human resource, IT infrastructure and business development activities. A 12.50% bonus issue was made during 2007.
The process of consolidation in the financial sector witnessed in 2006 gained further momentum in 2007 putting further pressures in the already competitive market. The first full year of the new senior management team has added a much-needed boost to the bank's overall image. Business has flourished multi-fold with emphasis. On fee based income streams, low-cost deposits to finance growth, increase in branch network after a considerable period of stagnation, e-banking and allied products, and risk management approach towards investments and asset build up.
The progress made by the bank during 2007, can be easily gauged from bank's overall performance was somewhat effected by the change in the regulatory framework as pertained to provisioning requirements and the conservative attitude of bank's management to prudently classify and provide certain advances on subjective basis during 2007. Mybank is currently actively pursuing a strategy to roll out Enterprise Risk Management and to develop a robust risk management framework for the bank.
Since the transformation of Bolan Bank into Mybank, Mybank has seen a spectacular turnaround. ROA, ROD and ROE all have risen outstandingly, moving from a negative zone in 2003 to an enviable positive in 2006. ROE declined slightly in 2006 and 2007, due to capital raised through a rights issue, offering 50 shares for every 100 shares and strict provisions requirement for NPLs by the state bank. The ROE growth in 2005 was especially spectacular because it came about in the face of an increase in the equity in 2005, again through a rights issue.
In FY06, deposits and total assets showed an increase of 49% and 54% respectively. PAT showed an increase of 80% in FY'06 to come up to PKR 492 million from PKR 210.848 million in FY05. In FY06, non-interest income was nearly 50% of the net interest income at PKR 452 million. If a segment wise analysis is conducted, it can be seen that trading and sales gives the highest ROA of 5.69%, followed by corporate finance and then commercial banking. Retail banking, despite having the highest contribution in gross income, remains the laggard with a ROA of only 0.01%. This lacklustre performance by the retail banking has pulled down the ROA of Mybank as a whole.
In 2007, the downward trend in all earning assets ratio can be mainly attributed to the strict regulations of the State Bank for the NPLs, consequently depressing the PAT for the company.
The yield on the earning assets has increased steadily on the back of higher interest rate environment in Pakistan. The cost of funding, the earning assets has also increased, thus squeezing the spread slightly in 2006. In 2006, the interest expensed has nearly doubled, while the interest income did not increase by that amount. The reason is a nearly 100% increase in the fixed deposits and 50% increase in savings deposits, while remunerative FI deposits have also shown a manifold increase. On the other hand, the current account deposits have shown a decline. In 2007, Interest income declined in the wake of more than proportionate increase in cost of funding earning assets owing to a rise in KIBOR.
Majority of the deposits are from the Wholesale and Retail segment, followed by individuals and then the financial sector. The deposits from the financial sector have shown a tremendous increase of 114 times. This is just a depiction of the trend of lending to other financial institutions that the industry as a whole is following in FY06 as it entails lower risk as compared to that in retail segment.
If we consider the industry as a whole, a break up of deposits data reveals that there is a visible shift from saving deposits to fixed deposits during last couple of years. Though the saving deposits still holds largest share in total deposits in 2007 and marginally gained some share, the shift witnessed during last couple of years raised the share of fixed deposits substantially and brought it close to the share of saving deposits. Other than these two categories, there was not a significant change witnessed during last few quarters. It is important to note that the non-remunerative deposits have been around one-fourth of the total deposits of the banking system since CY04.
As far as the composition of the earning assets is concerned, lending to financial institutions nearly showed a 160% increase in FY06 to be PKR 4,030 million, while the investments declined slightly. The amount of investments declined because of the loss in the revaluation of held for trading securities in consequent of rising political instability. The maximum amount of securities held is T-Bills, while NIT units and other mutual fund units take the next place. Advances also increased by 50% in 2006 and more than 54% in 2007. All in all, the lending to financial institutions gained preference in the earning assets pie.
This increase is in lieu of decreased liquidity in the market because of frequent mopping up of liquidity by SBP. Lending to financial institutions in 2006 is through repo and call money lending with the favorite being repo transaction. This shift in the composition of the earning assets in favour of investments and lending to financial institutions is a trend that has been observed in the industry in FY07. The share of advances in total assets of the banking system dropped by 530 basis points during H1-CY07. P/E ratios have improved over the years and in par with the market stabilizing between 10 to 11 for 2006 and 2005.
The NPLs are contributed mostly by the textile sector which accounts for 38.4% of the total NPLs for FY06. Agriculture's contribution follows next followed by wholesale and retail trade. The NPLs have declined in 2006 as compared to 2005. Equity has risen steadily over the years in a bid to comply with the Minimum Capital Requirements of SBP. The CAR in 2006 was 19.25%. Thus, the bank's creditworthiness and perception is bound to increase with its increase in equity. The debt to asset ratio has shrunk to 82% from 90% in 2003.
In 2006, equity increased to Rs 3085 million showing an increase of 50%. In the same period the deposits have increased by 49%, while net assets have increased by 99%. This scenario clearly shows that the increase in assets has been funded nearly equally by debt and equity. Mybank is following the same trend as the industry. The bank has entered into an agreement with an external consultant for acquisition of a Basle-II financial risk management software and is pleased to report that the Basle-II capital framework is being actively pursued within the Bank. All out efforts are being made to strengthen the risk management function within the bank and the bank is committed to ensure compliance to all timelines of the Basle-II framework roadmap issued by the State Bank of Pakistan and other guidelines in this regard being issued from time to time
In the banking industry, the deposits continued to record steady growth, and its share in assets funding remained around 75 percent in June 2007. Despite steady growth, the share of deposits in mounting assets of the banking system has seen a marginal decline since CY04, because of the fact that more and more assets are funded by either growing capital (which has been growing due to increasing minimum capital requirement) or by rising borrowings.
The bank enjoys "A" (Single-A) rating for the medium to long term and "A-1" (A-One) rating for the short term with a stable outlook from the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited (PACRA).
Earning Asset to Assets ratio has remained more or less consistent over the years. It is below the industry average showing that Mybank is flush with liquidity. Also this ratio reflects the potential that the bank has to expand. As we can see in the segment wise analysis of advances, individuals form a meager less than 2%. The highest share is held by wholesale and retail trade contributing 30% followed by textiles contributing 15.58%. However, interestingly the NPLs are contributed mostly by textiles sector.
Advances (net) for the industry after showing strong growth during CY03-CY06 (27.2 percent per annum), witnessed a small growth of 4.6 percent (or Rs 109.8 billion) during H1-CY07. Resultantly, the share of advances in total assets dropped by 530 basis points in H1-CY07; shrunk to 50.5 percent from 55.8 percent in CY06. In the same way, Mybank has shown an increase in the ADR till FY06.
SEGMENT WISE ANALYSIS
If we conduct a segment wise analysis, we can see that the income from corporate finance has increased by 26%, from trading and sales by 48%, from retail banking by 70% and from commercial banking by 164%. The lead contributor to gross income remained the retail banking, followed by trading and sales segment, whereas in net income trading and sales contributed the most, with retail banking being the last in all the segments showing that retail banking is the highest contributor to expenses. While the segment ROA has risen for all segments, it declined for retail banking depicting the influence of NPLs and provisions kept against them.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The increase in interest expense that has outpaced the increase in the interest income looks certain to cause problems in the upcoming times, specially in the wake of tight monetary measures announced by the SBP. The minimum 5% interest to be given on PLS accounts will increase the interest expense. On the hand the move by the government to possibly increase the rates on the National Saving Certificates will cause the whole banking sector to increase the deposit rates, in order to prevent dis-intermediation. The bank will have to focus on consolidation and cost-cutting in order to increase its profitability.
