RHB Indonesia - Bank Negara Indonesia - 1H17 Results Are Within Expectations (Bank Negara Indonesia, Bumi Serpong Damai) Unknown Kamis, 13 Juli 2017


Good morning,

Bank Negara Indonesia – 1H17 Results Are Within Expectations

BNI’s 1H17 results were broadly in line with our estimates. Net profit grew 46.7% YoY, due to strong non-interest income growth, manageable operating expenses and lower credit costs. Yet, its NIM slipped to 5.6% due to its loan mixture being rebalanced towards a lower loan yield segment (ie corporate SOEs), which we had already expected. Meanwhile, its gross NPL ratio reached 2.8% (Jun 2016: 3%), along with a higher LLC ratio. This should be an indication that asset quality would gradually improve in the following quarters. Maintain BUY, with an unchanged GGM-derived TP of IDR7,700 (12% upside).


¨ Bank Negara Indonesia held an analyst briefing and released its 1H17 results. Key highlights are:
i. Net profit of IDR6.4trn (+46.7% YoY, -1.2% QoQ), compared with earnings of IDR3.23trn in 1Q17.
This made up 47.7% of our (IDR13.45trn) and 49% of consensus (IDR13trn) forecasts for the full year. The results are broadly within expectations, as we had anticipated earnings to improve in 2H17;
ii. Operating income grew 14.1% YoY. This was due to a 23.2% YoY surge in non-interest income which, in turn, mainly stemmed from net premium and recovery incomes growing 21.4% and 66% YoY respectively;
iii. NIM fell by c.50bps YoY to 5.6%, due to loan yield being compressed by c.90bps to 10%. This was the result of its loan mixture being rebalanced to having a higher portion of corporate state-owned enterprise (SOE) loans. SOE loans accounted for 20% of BNI’s total loans as of June;
iv. CASA deposits reached 60.9% of customer deposits as of June. The bank’s blended cost of funds (CoF) dipped to 3% (1H16: 3.1%) as it repriced down its time deposits (TD) rate to 5.5% (1H16: 6%). BNI also continued to push its institutional current accounts through cash management, while growing its individual savings accounts by payroll.
v. Operating expenses remained manageable, growing 11.3% YoY. This brought its CIR down to 45.1%, from 46.2% in 1H16;
vi. Annualised credit cost was significantly down to 190bps (1H16: 277bps) with the portion of restructured loans to total loan book decreasing to 7.1% (1H16: 8.4%). This was also largely due to a IDR1.2trn write-off of Trikomsel Oke’s (TRIO IJ, NR) loan. Going forward, we expect no further major downgrades to its NPL estimate. BNI’s management maintained its credit cost guidance of 180bps for FY17F, which is lower than our forecast of 202bps;
vii. Annualised ROAE was 14.2%, in line with our expectation of 14.7%;
viii. Capital level was sufficient, with a 19% capital adequacy ratio to support further business expansion going forward (Dec 2016: 19.4%).
¨ We expect BNI to continue focusing on providing loans for infrastructure-related projects despite the lower loan yield. To reduce the further NIM decline, its funding structure would be a key factor. As such, BNI would continue to push CASA deposits for both its institutional and individual accounts. Meanwhile, we expect the improvement in asset quality to be more gradual, coupled with an increase in its LLC ratio. We also assume no major corporate loans would be downgraded to NPL status going forward. (Eka Savitri)

Company Update:

Bumi Serpong Damai (BSDE IJ, BUY, TP IDR 2,650): Flat 6M17 presales
Bumi Serpong posted flat 6M17 presales of IDR2,519bn (-1% YoY) or equivalent to 35% of this year’s target of IDR7,225bn. Presales in 2Q17 slumped 31% YoY due to lower sales of landlots, strata title, and industrials. In terms of product mix, housing contributed 42% followed by landlots 5%, strata title 7%, shophouses 13%, and land plots (JV) 33%.

We maintain our view that 2017 would be a more positive year for the sector as well as for BSD. We maintain our BUY call on the back of a 25% CAGR net profit growth forecast from FY16-19F as well as expectations on sector improvements starting from this year. Currently, the counter is trading at 13.5x 2017F P/E and a 66% discount to RNAV. (Yualdo Tirtakencana)
