Sustained trajectory Delivering as promised, reiterate BUY. We maintain our bullish view on (BDMN) as the transformation story morphs into reality. Deliveries on the 3-year transformation programme initiated in March 2016 have been satisfying mainly on two fronts structurally lower funding cost and credit costs. Management has put forward a more holistic approach in achieving loan growth by winning quality clients to expand its transaction banking business, which results in organic CASA and fee income growth. Adira Finance (ADMF) also supports growth with decent levels of new financing while it continues to enhance cross-selling of BDMN s retail products. BDMN s micro business is being rationalised. A new product and business approach to its SME clients (bundled with CASA) has delivered improvements in its SME offerings and should garner better returns over time. BDMN s share price has also reacted positively to recent news on Mitsubishi-UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) expressing interest to acquire a stake in the bank. The deal will depend on further talks and there is no certainty that this will lead to a transaction. Where we differ. We have one of the highest target price on the street as we believe the transformation story will continue to unfold. We also have one of the highest earnings forecasts, which translates into 14% ROE by FY19. Potential catalysts. Full impact of the transformation programme on earnings. Positive growth in CASA and consolidated loan growth. Revival of the 2W industry could boost ADMF s high yielding business. Successful corporate action from the potential acquirer could add value to the bank. Valuation: Reiterate BUY; ready for growth. We maintain our TP at Rp6,300, which is based on the Gordon Growth Model (15% ROE, 10% growth and 13.6% cost of equity) and implies 1.4x FY18 BV. Key Risks to Our View: Ineffective transformation deliveries. Slower-than-expected growth could derail the next transformation phase. Failure to improve the deposit franchise could further pressure NIM. At A Glance Issued Capital (m shrs) 9,585 Mkt.

2 WHAT S NEW M&A bonus to top up already improving fundamentals Expression of interest by MUFG Expression of interest for an acquisition. (BDMN) announced today that management has acknowledged receiving a notice from Asia Financial (Indonesia) Pte Ltd, which is the controlling shareholder of BDMN, outlining an expression of interest towards a 40% stake in BDMN. The deal will depend on further talks and there is no certainty that this will lead to a transaction. Potential valuation of transaction could be higher than current share price. In early Nov 2017, the Nikkei newspaper reported that Mitsubishi-UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), through its core unit Bank of Tokyo Mitsibishi-UFJ (BTMU), is aiming to spend JPY200bn to buy about 40% of BDMN. Our estimates indicate a price of Rp6,240/share or 1.4x FY18F BV. Historically, Japanese investors have acquired Indonesian banks at a large premium. For example, Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional (BTPN) was sold to Sumitomo Banking Corporation (SMBC) at 3.8x BV while Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG) bought a 17.5% stake at 2.85x BV in 2014; BTPN was then trading at 2.0x BV. Another example would be Bank Mutiara s acquisition by J Trust in 2015 at a lofty 3.5x BV. Bank Mutiara was not listed as the stock was suspended then following internal issues it had to iron out. As such, we do not discount the possibility of MUFG paying a premium if the transaction goes through. and also other banks in the ASEAN region. In 2013, (BTMU) acquired a majority stake in Bank of Ayudhya (BAY) in Thailand at 2.0x BV when peers were trading at an average of 1.4x BV. And in 2016, BTMU acquired a 20% stake in Security Bank (SECB) in the Philippines at 2.8x BV when peers were trading at 1.5x BV. Interestingly, BTMU sold its 4.56% stake in CIMB (Malaysia) in Sep 2017 at 1.1x BV, approximately US$610m. Deliveries up to 9M17 Positive loan growth trend. BDMN was able to book respectable loan growth of 2% y-o-y despite the declining micro portfolio. Stripping off the micro loans, loans grew by 5% y-o-y. The growth mainly came from SME (+10% y-o-y), commercial and corporate (+7%) as well as mortgage segments (+31%). Adira Finance, which contributes c.35% of BDMN s loan portfolio, booked flattish growth of 1% as the 2W industry remained soft. Commercial vehicles bookings were promising. Higher NIM due to structurally lower cost of funds. On a q-o-q basis, NIM was higher at 9.3% (vs 9.2% in 2Q17 and 8.9% in 3Q16). Asset yield is lower due to BDMN s strategy in targeting lower-risk loans but this was compensated by lower cost of funds. The lower cost of funds is one of the important deliveries of BDMN s structural improvement. Credit cost continues to decline; asset quality in check; opex is well maintained. Credit cost was significantly lower at 2.7% (vs 2.8% in 2Q17 and 3.8% in 3Q16) mainly due to the structural shift of the loan portfolio. NPL was in check at 3.3% (vs 3.2% in 1H17 and 3.5% in 3Q16). Operating expenses were also flattish y-o-y, reflecting its ability to maintain efficiency. CASA-driven funding growth; solid CAR at 22.3%. The bank continued to trim its expensive time deposits (-9% y-o-y) and seemed unperturbed by the declining total funding amid the soft underlying demand for loans. Positively, CASA still grew 5% y-o-y, bringing the CASA ratio even higher to 47.5% vs 44% a year ago. CAR improved to 22.3% even after a higher dividend payout ratio earlier this year. Outlook Stronger growth remains challenging. Management believes that the economy and purchasing power have not picked up enough traction and this might not translate into significantly better underlying demand for loans. Moreover, management stated that the micro business will continue to shrink, contributing a mere c.5% of total portfolio. Adira contributes 35% of total loans, while the rest is equally split between consumer, SME, and commercial & corporate segments. Expecting smaller restructuring costs in 4Q17; efficiency will continue to improve. Management has guided that there will be more restructuring costs as part of the employee and branch rationalisation programme in 4Q17. However, the magnitude will be much smaller than the ones booked in the last quarter of 2016 and As a result, we should continue to see flattish operating expenses going forward. Gauging the impact of IFRS 9. BDMN will be adopting IFRS 9 in 2018, one of the first in the country to adopt this reporting standard due to its relationship with Temasek. Management estimated that the adoption will result in a 1% reduction of CAR from its Dec 2016 book. The departure of veteran CFO, Vera Eve Lim. BDMN s veteran CFO, Vera Eve Lim, is leaving and will be replaced by Mr. Satinder Pal Singh Ahluwalia as acting CFO, who is currently the Page 2

3 Director of Risk and Micro Business. We believe this should not impact the ongoing structural transformation of the bank as the CEO, Sng Seow Wah, has been involved in the most important initiatives and structural changes of the bank. Valuation and recommendation Maintain BUY with TP of Rp6,300. Our thesis for BDMN remains intact its next re-rating catalyst hinges on the next phase of growth and sustaining higher ROEs. BDMN s recent 9M17 results testifies that its restructuring story is bearing fruit. We reiterate our BUY rating for BDMN with TP of Rp6,300 on continuously improving fundamentals. An M&A is a bonus.

4 CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH Margin Trends Critical Factors Picking up steam. We expect loan growth to gradually improve. Auto loan growth at Adira Finance (ADMF) is expected to turn positive (from a contraction in FY15). The Danamon Simpan Pinjam (DSP) or micro business is expected to stay muted as management is in the midst of recalibrating its business model. The worst of asset quality should be over, in our view. Provisions should taper off from the current levels. Loan growth to resume in 2017 (ex-micro). Loans growth started to pick up albeit slow in 2017 because of the rundown of micro loans and subtle growth in the automotive segment. The decline in consumer loans in 2016 was a result of reducing its exposure to unsecured lending. Green shoots for growth was seen in mortgage and SME in Going forward a recovery is expected for auto loans at Adira, SME and retail loans should continue its positive traction and commercial loans will start to show growth by the middle of the year. A segment called asset-based financing which is largely related to the plantation segment will be reduced. Lower NIM trends ahead as loan mix changes... NIM is likely to slide as the loan mix changes towards SME loans, which are mainly secured. On the other hand, cost of funds reduction would not be as significant as this year. Positively, fee income should start to improve as retail and SME loans pick up. but lower expenses and provisions should make up for earnings over time. The less risky portfolio should also come with significantly lower credit cost and expenses. Comparatively, the credit cost for micro loans is in excess of 8% but credit cost for SME would be below 1% (this portfolio is deemed to have lower risk). Expenses will be lower as the bank scales down its labour-intensive micro business (typically requiring more employees to be surveyors and for collections). Provisions should also decline. All in, the lower NIM will be compensated by lower expenses, higher fee income and lower provisions. With the recovery of its loans in 2018, earnings are well poised for growth. Separately, the pressure by regulators have somewhat cooled off. That said, new loan products by BDMN (e.g. mortgage and SME loans) are at single-digit levels. Further cost reduction likely as efficiency improves. There was another round of restructuring costs booked in 4Q16 (similar to that recorded in 4Q15). There is still room for further cost reduction when efficiency improves mainly from branch/outlet rationalisation in Cost-toincome ratio should stay below 50%.

5 Appendix 1: A look at Company's listed history what drives its share price? Loan growth as critical factor Remarks The stock price has largely been driven by the expectation of loan growth for the subsequent quarter/year. The relationship has shown strong positive correlation over the past 10 years. Price Loan Growth T+1 Bond Yield as critical factor BDMN s stock price is negatively correlated (- 55%) to the Indonesian 10-year government bond yield. The NPL downtrend during supported the share price rally during the same period.

6 Balance Sheet: Improved funding franchise would be key. BDMN has long been seen to be a bank with a weak funding franchise. We have seen improvements in recent quarters, albeit gradual. Loan-to-deposit ratios have trended down. Further improvements should be expected as its strategic initiatives unfold. Asset quality under control. We expect BDMN to show lower credit cost levels in FY17F. BDMN has among the lowest percentage of restructured loans to total loans (c. 3%). This is also because auto loans (both 2W and 4W from Adira) and micro loans have automatic write-off policies of 180 days and 360 days respectively. Loan loss coverage ratios should correspondingly improve. NPL ratios should improve to below 3% for Share Price Drivers: Sustained deliveries of strategic priorities. It has been two years since Mr Sng Seow Wah came on board as BDMN s CEO. His 3-year strategic priorities were crafted out in early Early wins are visible. He has a strong track record in turning around banks with exposure to SME and consumer segments. He had successfully improved the business and profitability of a Malaysian bank, thus increasing its valuation. He also initiated a high dividend payout ratio policy to share the bank s success with shareholders. We believe BDMN should see similar success under his leadership. Going in Year 3 of transformation; growth phase. After two years of painful restructuring and cleaning up its balance sheet, BDMN is now ready for growth. The ability of BDMN to show strong growth in targeted areas as part of its transformation programme would be imperative for the next re-rating phase for the stock. Under our initial blue-sky scenario (see our reinitiation report dated 18 March 2015), we postulate that an ROE of 15% is closer to being materialised. Key Risks: Ineffective transformation deliveries. This would be mainly due to slower-than-expected changes in business processes and the new business model being ineffective. But these changes will take time and resources to implement. Failure of the transformation programme will not only impact operations and profitability, but the opportunity cost would magnify the impact. The other key risks for BDMN are failure to maintain liquidity and weaker-than-expected deposit growth since its loan-to-deposit ratio has always been high. Company Background (BDMN) is the eight largest bank in Indonesia by assets. The bank focuses on mass market loans with its Danamon Simpan Pinjam. BDMN is aided by its 95%-owned multi-finance arm Adira Finance for auto loans. Asset Quality Capitalisation (%) ROE (%) Forward PE Band (x) PB Band (x) Source: Company, DBS Bank, DBSVI Page 6
