1 M&A Securities Sector Update: Banking PP14767/09/2012(030761) Wednesday, June 08, 2016 Banking Sector (Neutral) Higher Assets Yield Offers Brighter Income Prospects Banking sector underperformed in 1Q16 as banks posted lower earnings as well as weak loans growth of 6.4% vs. our estimates of 7.5% in 2016, derailed by continuous weaknesses in household loans and slower acceleration in business loans. Given the sluggish environment, we downgrade our loans growth target in 2016 to 6.8% but we reiterate our NEUTRAL call. Two biggest issues namely lethargic loans growth and tight liquidity condition may take the spotlight in Though we expect flat earnings performance for banking sector in 2016 but there are still drivers which could support the sector namely 1) improvement in asset quality and 2) leaner operating cost. Our Top Picks for banking sector are Public Bank (TP: RM21.38) and BIMB Holdings (TP: RM4.28). 1Q16 results summary. 1Q16 earning performance came in weaker, with earnings dropping 5.9% y-oy, impacted by lower NOII and elevated loans loss provision. On the bright side, NII and NIM were enjoying the good run given the revised base rate starting January 2016 that helped bank s total income from further deceleration. All banks under our coverage reported earnings in line with ours estimates as we had revised lower our earnings at the end of As a whole, cumulative earnings under our coverage fell 2% y-o-y in 1Q16 punctured by both NOII and elevated loan loss provision.

2 Financial Index. Financial index recovered in 1Q16, rebounding from a testy period in 2H15, lifted by various positive catalyst. YTD KL Financial Index advanced by points or 4.2% in 1Q16 and outperformed the FBMKLCI index that jumped by only 1.4% in 1Q16. The performer was contributed by AFG (+16.6%), MAYBANK (+7.4%) and CIMB (+6.8%). Loans growth still soft. Aggregate loans growth for banks under our coverage in 1Q16 was seen tapering with aggregate loans further declined by 1.8% q-o-q. Three banks posted negative growth on q-o-q basis, while the rest churned modest growth. The uninspiring growth in 1Q16 was led by both household and business segment with growth of 0.9% and -0.4% vs. 2% each in 1Q15. On y-o-y basis, growth in 1Q16 was expected if we compare the growth in 1Q15 as 1Q would usually record strong quarter due to festivities effect on the household segment. Nevertheless, certain segments in the households and business segment still enjoyed respectable growth due to continuous demands in the market, such as residential property, personal use in household segment, and construction in the business segment. YTD (until April) residential property loans grew 3.1% while construction segment jumped 2.8% YTD.

Overall, banks under our coverage posted better NIM on the average of 2.26% vs. 2.19% in 4Q15 and 2.21% in 3Q15. Of note, banks have started to raise their base rate in average of 3.79% from 3.77% in 1Q16, resulting in higher assets yield. Banks tweaked their base rate higher in response to higher cost of funds that compressed their margin 2

3 in past four quarters. Additionally, the stiff price-based competition for retail fixed deposits have receded that drove industry LDR to be stable at 88%. We expect NIM to stabilize at this stage given stable LDR that will drive NIM downwards. Nevertheless, several banks have guided smaller margin NIM compression in FY16 given tighter LCR requirement, though we believe that is not the case given the majority of the assets are backed with quality collaterals. Table 3: Net Interest Margin (NIM) AFG 2.25% 1.85% 2.16% 2.19% 2.15% 2.15% AMMB 2.38% 2.33% 2.12% 1.71% 1.72% 2.02% CIMB 2.79% 2.65% 2.61% 2.68% 2.66% 2.62% Maybank 2.20% 2.26% 2.28% 2.38% 2.29% 2.34% Public Bank 2.20% 2.15% 2.11% 2.16% 2.16% 2.20% RHB Capital 2.26% 2.22% 2.13% 2.13% 2.13% 2.22% Average 2.35% 2.24% 2.24% 2.21% 2.19% 2.26% Net interest income stabilized. Given improving NIM, NII was elevated in 1Q16 as higher asset yield helped cool the cost of funds. Besides, we note that ALR has recovered from as low as 4.49% (in September-15) to 4.61% in March-16. Based on our channel checks, we understand that banks may soon nudge up their respective lending rates either via higher base rates or higher spread. Higher lending rates, coupled with more discipline deposit competition will result in the stabilization of NIM compression Table 4: Net Interest Income AFG AMMB CIMB 2,242 2,191 2,269 2,416 2,461 2,384 Maybank 2,442 2,605 2,680 2,897 2,932 2,903 Public Bank 1,555 1,534 1,560 1,629 1,654 1,685 RHB Capital Total 7,746 7,787 7,925 8,431 8,529 8,454 Table 5: Percentage of Net Interest Income to Total Income Dec-14 Mar-15 Jun-15 Sept-15 Dec-15 Mar-15 AFG 61% 61% 60% 58% 60% 60% AMMB 48% 42% 44% 46% 44% 43% CIMB 61% 60% 59% 63% 61% 64% Maybank 48% 52% 55% 54% 52% 54% Public Bank 69% 68% 67% 66% 66% 67% RHB Capital 48% 53% 53% 56% 52% 55% Average 56% 56% 56% 57% 56% 57% 3

4 Non-interest income under pressure. NOII remained quiet in 1Q16, indicating muted NOII for the rest Capital market, including fund raising in private and public sector were seen slow down due to the sluggish reception to new deals given the slowdown in economy despite the stabilizing in bond yield. IPO deals too remained a challenge given sluggish reception, where we only witnessed 6 companies made their debut in Bursa Malaysia vs. 13 companies in 2015 involving deals of RM1.38 billion. Forex income, however, has been a bright spark for banks thus far. This is because the volatile exchange rates should be positive for both forex volumes and spreads.

Liquidity position has been weakening in the banking system in 1Q16, continuing the trend since 2Q15. On average, deposits only grew 3.2% y-o-y vs. 6.2% y-o-y in 4Q15. This was the result of the moderation in deposits from financial institutions and business enterprises. Factors that could have contributed to the weaker deposit growth from these groups include, among others, capital outflows and weaker underlying economic activities, Nevertheless, CASA position remained stable at 29.2% vs. 29.5% in 4Q15 with notable decliner hampered by AFG which deliberately reduced its deposits to manage funding cost. We notice that banks ended their cut-throat deposits competitions since 4Q15 which was the key reason that drove NIM to go south. Going forward, we believe FY16 could see deposit growths settles at this rate as banks are targeting LDR to hover around 90%-95% due to weakness in deposits growth, the level we have not seen since

6 Cost remains under pressure. Banks under our coverage posted improving CIR with slower growth in absolute operating expenses of 0.4% y-o-y vs. 13% y-o-y in 1Q15. The recent cost rationalization drive had pushed CIR to 49.1% after the last 4 quarters that have seen CIR at elevated levels (above 50%). We reckon the improving CIR was genuine given banks inability to grow income level given the sluggish NOII. Although several banks have executed MSS in 2015, we don t expect this to be atrend in FY16 unless there is a severe downturn in the economy. Table 11: Overhead Expenses AFG AMMB CIMB Maybank Public Bank RHB Capital Total Table 12: Cost to Income Ratio AFG 44.7% 51.8% 48.6% 45.4% 48.4% 51.2% AMMB 49.8% 50.7% 50.6% 53.4% 63.5% 57.4% CIMB 63.2% 58.1% 55.4% 53.4% 53.9% 57.4% Maybank 50.7% 49.9% 49.5% 49.0% 48.2% 48.4% Public Bank 28.1% 31.0% 31.2% 30.0% 30.5% 31.5% RHB Capital 58.9% 54.3% 56.7% 56.8% 57.2% 48.5% Average 49.2% 49.3% 48.7% 48.0% 50.3% 49.1% Asset quality continued to be healthy. On average, GIL for banks under coverage dropped 9bps in 1Q16 to 1.78%. The higher GIL was derailed by AFG (-20bps), AMMB (-14bps) and Maybank (-25bps). Positively, CIMB s GIL was unchanged at 3.0% on the back of higher provision that continued to be elevated. Overall, credit charge improved due to better recoveries in 1Q16, however we expect the challenging economic condition may weigh down credit charge coupled with minimum 1.2% requirement on collective allowance. However, we still expect overall credit environment to remain fairly benign unless economic growth slows much more than anticipated and the unemployment rate picks up sharply. 6

Among banking sector challenges include 1) flat loans growth 2) tight liquidity 3) margin compression 4) rising credit cost and 5) challenging macroeconomic conditions which may continue to weigh on the banking industry. Banking sector is NEUTRAL in 2016 with 2 banks emerge as our Top Pick namely Public Bank (TP: RM21.38) and BIMB Holdings (TP: RM4.28).
