9M23 results was below consensus but ahead of ours
net profit of Rp2.3tr in 9M23 (+2% yoy/+25% qoq) came below consensus estimates at 71% but ahead of ours at 80%. PPOP grew marginally by +6% yoy (flat qoq) supported by significant increase in non-interest income (+67% yoy/-24% qoq) - mainly from treasury and recovery, along with drop in opex (-11% yoy/+5% qoq); this was despite weak NII at -12% yoy (+9% qoq). Provision rose by +12% yoy but declined -16% qoq, which brought the 9M23 CoC to 1.3% vs. 1.2/1.3% in 9M22/1H23, in-line with its new target of 1.2-1.4% (previously at 1.1-1.2%).
Sequential qoq improvement in NIM
Overall NIM stood at 3.8% in 9M23 (vs. 4.5/3.6% in 9M23/1H23) with qoq improvement was driven by better asset yield. LDR remained at 98% in 3Q23 vs. 93/98% in 3Q22/2Q23. Concurrently, deposit growth was slower at +4% yoy (+3% qoq) as strong growth (+12% yoy/-6% qoq - mostly driven by current account as savings growth dropped by -8% yoy) was offset by drop in TD (-3% yoy/+14% qoq). This resulted in ratio of 50% in 3Q23 vs. 46/54% in 3Q22/2Q23.
Pick-up loan growth from strong sharia mortgage
Overall loan grew by +10% yoy (+3% qoq) in 3Q23, which was in-line with its guidance of 10-11%. This was driven by corporate loans (+36% yoy/+8% qoq) while mortgage grew by +8% yoy/+3% qoq, supported by sharia mortgage (+19% yoy/+6% qoq).
Improving asset quality
NPL/SML slightly improved qoq to 3.5/9.4% in 3Q23 from 3.7/9.5% in 2Q23 respectively. Further NPL improvement will be coming from bulk asset sale in 4Q23 amounting to Rp861bn which expected to reduce NPL by c.0.25%. Overall LAR (incl. Covid) also improved to 23% in 3Q23 vs. 26/23% in 3Q22/2Q23 with LAR coverage of 22% in 3Q23 vs. 20/22% in 3Q22/2Q23.
Maintain Hold
Maintain Hold despite is currently trading at undemanding valuation of 0.5x FY24F P/B (below -1s.d. of 0.6x) as we see lack of imminent catalyst. Upside risk is lower CoF from peaking interest rate.
