RHB Indonesia - Bank Central Asia - Maintain Its Conservativeness (Bank Central Asia) Unknown Selasa, 14 Maret 2017




Good morning,
Bank Central Asia – Maintain Its Conservativeness
Yesterday BCA (BBCA IJ, Neutral, TP: IDR17,200) held its FY16 result. Using yesterday’s closing price, BCA trades at 2017F P/BV multiple of 2.9x (-0.3SD of its historical mean). Our GGM-derived TP implies 3.2x P/BV multiple for 2017F.

Key highlights:


FY16 performance:
*Net interest income represents 103.8%/102.8% of our/consensus forecast.
*Reported net interest margin (NIM) expanded to 6.8% due to lower blended CoF at 2% (FY15: 2.4%).
*Lower cost to income ratio (CIR) at 43.5% from 45.4% due to cost efficiency initiatives, i.e. limited branch expansion and invest more into mobile and internet banking features.
*Gross non-performing loans (NPL) ratio of 1.3% (end-2015: 0.7%) coming from Trikomsel’s loan as well as other sectors that mostly the derivatives of commodities sector (mining contractor and logistics).
*Higher credit cost at 113bps (FY15: 85bps) to provide ample buffer for its higher gross NPL ratio.
*Net profit of IDR20.6trn accounted for 100.9%/103.3% of our/consensus forecast.


4Q16 performance:
*Net interest income up by 2.1% QoQ supported by 7.7% QoQ loan growth.
*6.9% reported NIM, slightly higher compared to previous quarter, due to a higher asset yield of at 10.6%(3Q16: 9.2%).
*Higher credit cost at 142bps with a slight improvement in gross NPL ratio (Sep-16: 1.5%) as BCA’s management increase its loan loss coverage (LLC) ratio to 231.3% (Sep-16: 201%).


What we miss:
*Lower than expected loan growth of 7.7% in FY16 as we expect higher figure of 13% in our model.


What to expect:
*Asset quality would improve in our view as loan growth and GDP growth would start to pick up. Expect loan growth would be inline with industry’s figure of 10%, lower than our current forecast of 14%.
*Asset yield would continue to fall due to a higher mortgage contribution into its loan portfolio. For this segment, BCA currently offer promotional rate of 6% pa fixed 2 years and cap at 6.88% pa the next 3 years. We expect lower asset yield at 7.6% in FY17 (FY16: 7.9%).
*BCA’s management did not provide clear guidance on loan growth as well as gross NPl ratio target for this year.
*NIM would decline to 6.4% in FY17 (FY16: 6.8%) in our forecast mostly coming from a compression asset yields projection. So our model suggest more upside risks on the NIMs side that may come from lower blended CoF if BCA continue to push its CASA deposits.
*Funding should remain manageable aside because CASA deposits would continue to be the main contributors on its both customer deposits and funding mixture.
*We maintain our NEUTRAL call on Bank BCA with a GGM-derived target priced of IDR17,200. (Eka Savitri)

Corporates

Semen Indonesia gained market shares
Semen Indonesia reported higher 2M17’s sales to 4,038k tonnes (+1.8% YoY), partly driven by lower 2M17 domestic ASP of IDR759,000/tonne (-9.8% YoY). Notably, in the same period, national cement sales declined by 1.1% YoY. In our calculation, Semen Indonesia’s market shares increased to 41.6% in 2M17 (versus 40.4% in 2M16). On area basis, higher sales volume was driven by Semen Indonesia plants located in Tuban, East Java. We maintain Neutral with DCF-based TP of IDR9,800 (4% upside), implies FY17F P/E of 12x.
