1 29 Feb QFY15 Results Review RHB Capital Berhad Provisions likely to be higher moving forward INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS 12MFY15 normalised net profit of RM1.74b was below our expectation accounting for 94.4% of our estimate due to higher OPEX and provisions Loan growth decelerated to +6.3%yoy NIM dropped to 2.14%, a compression of 16bp higher than our expectation Except for its meeting its International Contribution target, the Group was short of its 5 other FY15 KPI targets CI ratio remained elevated at 56.3% in 12MFY15 based on normalised income, higher than our expectation of 55.0% due to lower revenue Annualised credit charge-off higher 0.22% for 12MFY15 due to higher IA and lower recoveries GIL ratio improved to 1.88% Declared a single interim dividend of 12 sen (higher payout of 24.4%), higher than our expectation of 8 sen for FY15 Revised our 16 net profit forecast lower by -9.2% to account for higher provisions Maintain NEUTRAL with a revised TP of RM5.40 pegging the stock to an unchanged PB multiple of 1.0x on FY16 BVPS. Normalised 12MFY15 net profit of RM1.74b after adjusting for CTS expenses of RM308.8m was slightly below our expectation. The Group reported a lower profit of RM316.1m (-25.8%qoq, -35.0%yoy on normalised basis) largely due to higher OPEX (+12.0%qoq) and rise in allowance for loan impairment (+143.5%qoq). After adjusting for one-off CTS expenses of RM308.8m, normalised net profit was RM1.74b (-14.5%yoy) for 12MFY15. The lower cumulative earnings were mainly due to lower IB and securities market related fee income in Malaysia and Singapore, higher provisions for loan impairment due to rise in IA and the absence of major recoveries in FY14. The Group s core 12MFY15 normalised net profit of RM1.74bb (- 8.0%yoy) was lower than our estimate of RM1.85b, accounting for 94.4% of our forecast. The variance to our expectation was mainly due to higher than expected normalised OPEX and higher provisions for loan impairment.

2 NIM contracted 16bp to 2.14% for 12MFY15, more than our expectation of 6bp for the full financial year. For 12MFY15, higher cost of funds was contributed by the full year impact of the funding expense on its issuance of sukuk and sub-debts of RM1.5b and senior unsecured notes of USD300m issued in 2HFY14. Moving into FY16, NIM is expected to continue to be compressed, largely due competition for deposits impacting funding cost. For FY16 management is guiding for its NIM to be still compressed and remain above 2.00%. Loan growth decelerated to 6.3%yoy in 4QFY15. Gross loan growth decelerated to +6.3%yoy vs %yoy in the preceding quarter. Growth in loans for 12MFY15 was supported mainly by the expansion of Retail and Business loans. Retail loan growth continued to be slower at +6.0%yoy. Growth in loans for purchase of residential property slowed down to +20.0%yoy. Meanwhile, loans for purchase of non-residential property drop further to +20.8%yoy vs +26.6% in the preceding quarter and growth outstanding for credit cards was subdued at -0.8%yoy. Compared to the previous quarter, growth in loans for purchase of transport vehicles improved slightly to -11.2%yoy. Recall the Group s strategy of not to compete aggressively in this space as a result of the lower RAR on HP loans due to stiff competition on lending rates. Slower growth continued to be evidenced for loans for purchase of securities at - 7.5%yoy. Also, trending slower was growth in personal loans to +8.9%yoy vs %yoy in the previous quarter. Growth rate in working capital loans slipped to +7.0%yoy. On lending by customer types, lending to SMEs was slower in pace, registering a lower growth of %yoy while international loans slowed down to +22.0%yoy and corporate loans remained soft at -11.0%yoy largely due to the corporate repayments. Customer deposit growth was flat at +0.6%yoy with deceleration in growth in 4QFY15. Customer deposit growth decelerated to +0.6%yoy vs. +7.3%yoy in the preceding quarter. Growth in CASA remained stable at +11.0%yoy while that of the more costly NIDs was flat at +0.8%yoy and growth in FD decelerated to -2.2%yoy. The Group achieved its target to grow CASA by >10% in FY15 with a growth of +11.0%. CASA ratio improved slightly to 24.0%. Net LDR continued to rise further to 94.6%, reflecting tighter liquidity. Management hinted that the LCR for RHB Bank Group was >90.0%. GIL ratio improved to 1.88% but provisions were higher in FY15 due to higher IA, absence of major recoveries in FY14. Group GIL ratio improved to 1.88% in FY15 vs. 2.03% in FY14 but was still higher industry s 1.60%. Nevertheless, the Group recorded a higher credit charge-off of 0.22% in FY15 vs. 0.14% in FY14, which was slightly higher than our expectation of 0.22%. This was contributed by an increase in IA from additional provisions of RM150m taken for two steel companies which have already been classified impaired earlier, absence of major recoveries in FY14 coupled with a write back in CA from a refinement in model for its mortgage portfolio. For FY16, the Group is guiding for a higher credit charge-off of 0.40% (40bp). LLC ratio improved to 82.6% Including regulatory reserves of RM583m, the Group s LLC ratio was higher at 83.3%. Rights issue exercise to raise RM2.3b completed in December 2015 and the Group is now waiting for regulatory approval to complete its internal restructuring to list its Bank Holding Company by 2QFY16. The Group remains on track on complete the listing of its Bank Holding Company by 2QFY16 and is waiting for regulatory approval to proceed for its internal reorganisation. Recall, RHB Bank, the Bank Holding Company will be taking over the listing status of RHB Cap. Lower ROE target for FY16 of 10.0% vs. >11.5% in FY15. With a higher credit charge-off guidance of 0.40% and NIM to continue to be compress, the ROE target of 10.0% based on the Bank holding company s earnings as we understand will mainly be derived from cost savings and a dividend policy of 30%, a payout higher than the past. SME loan mix has been raised in FY15. SME loans as a percentage of total loans rose to 15% in FY15 vs. 12% in FY14. Retail CASA, Asset Managment AUM, SME market share and revenue from Singapore grew under its initiatives under IGNITE We gather that is Retail CASA grew +5.9%, higher than the industry while its Asset Management s AUM grew +7.1% under its is initiatives under IGNITE Meanwhile, market share for SME loans has been improved to 8.7% in Nov 15 vs. 7.19% in Dec 14 and revenue from Singapore has improved. On the 2

3 other initiatives under IGNITE 2017, the Group has secured BNM s approval to optimise its EASY outlets with RHB branches. This is expected to lead to higher cost savings ahead. FORECAST Revised our net proft forecast for FY16 lower by -9.2% to RM1.92b after factoring in a higher credit charge-off assumption from expected weakness in asset quality ahead and fine tuning our NII estimate. VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION We continue to expect upticks in impaired loans ahead due to the slower economic growth with a rise in provisions contributed from lower recoveries. Nevertheless, cost savings from CTS and restructuring will flow through in FY16. We expect NOII to be softer in FY16 due to markets business continuing to be weak from volatile market and weaker market sentiment. We maintain NEUTRAL on the stock with a revised TP of RM5.40 after pegging the stock to a lower PB multiple of 1.0x on FY16 BVPS. Our valuation is based on RHB Bank, the new Bank holding company taking over the listing status of RHB Cap.
