17 The NEXT DOZEN why they should not be ignored NEXT 12 have similar profitability and outperformed the BIG 8 Average 2012 Return on (%) Simple average returns NEXT 12 Big Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan-13 Source: Company annual reports, Bloomberg data, Exotix estimates * FCMB estimate base on 3Q12 earnings as bank is yet to announce FY12 results NEXT DOZEN under-researched and under-invested relative to the BIG EIGHT due to: Smaller market capitalisation and less liquidity Belief that lower market share will translate to lower profitability Listed in un-benchmarked markets (not in the MSCI) and therefore less known Under-appreciated business models 17
18 The NEXT DOZEN the fundamentals Strong NIMs Source: Company annual reports, Bloomberg data, Exotix estimates * FCMB estimate base on 3Q12 earnings as bank is yet to announce FY12 results NEXT DOZEN able to earn high NIMs due to: Dominant market share, e.g. Zanaco, Stanbic Uganda, Ghana Commercial Bank Profitable niche model, e.g. Co-op Bank, Diamond Trust Kenya, Diamond Bank Nigeria, National Microfinance Bank Tanzania, Letshego 18
19 The NEXT DOZEN the fundamentals Relatively higher C/I ratio, potential for efficiency improvement Source: Company annual reports, Exotix estimates Letshego continues to maintain best in class cost efficiency Potential for improvement in cost to income ratios at GCB, Zanaco as banks shed their legacy inefficiencies Nigerian banks C/I should gradually improve as recovery from banking crisis continues Kenyan banks C/I should also improve as banks adopt alternative banking channels State Bank of Mauritius C/I ratio better than MCB s 19

21 The NEXT DOZEN the fundamentals Generally more aggressive balance sheets FY12 Loan to deposit ratio (%) FY12 loans to assets ratio(%) Source: Company annual reports, Bloomberg data, Exotix estimates * FCMB estimate base on 3Q12 earnings as bank is yet to announce FY12 results High yields on government securities crowd out private sector loans Crowding out effect less evident amongst NEXT DOZEN relative to BIG 8 GCB s low loan to deposit ratio attributable to loan restructurings in 2011 Letshego has the most aggressive balance sheet 21
22 The NEXT DOZEN the fundamentals Banks mostly funded by deposits and Tier 1 equity 85.0 FY12 deposits to total funding (%) FY12 equity to assets ratio (%) Source: Company annual reports, Bloomberg data, Exotix estimates * FCMB estimate based on 3Q12 earnings as bank is yet to announce FY12 results Funding profile of NEXT DOZEN similar to BIG 8; short-term deposits are key funding source Letshego is the exception as primary funding source is equity Average capital adequacy ratio of 17.9% We believe banks will gradually raise Tier 2 capital as maturity of assets increases 22
