Worth to highlight:
  • By year-end, may require additional c.Rp4.5tr of provisioning to be taken from its retained earnings to comply with IFRS 9 (it is a one-off). This shall lower CAR by 250bp but increase ROE by 150bp. Yet we expect earnings to bounce back strong in 2020 (+147% yoy) despite our conservative est.
  • Our provision estimate for FY20/21 is still more conservative than management's (80bp CoC for FY20/21 vs. management's 50bp - in-line with its historical average) which result in higher coverage (150% in FY20/21 vs. management est of 130%). It also has taken all the necessary steps to improve its loan quality (i.e. especially after formation of regional processing centre/RPC).


Appointment of the new CEO 27th Nov and improvement on its fundamentals shall spark the re-rating, in our view. We fine-tune our forecasts (especially FY20) as we already taken into account the impact of IFRS 9.  Risk is deterioration in asset quality .

  • Management has set its priority straight, managing CoF is imperative
  1. Loan growth target (now only at 5-7% for 2020, from high teens in previous years)
  2. they are to cut expensive funding (start from wholesale funding at 8.8% cost in 9M19, then TD at 8.3% cost in 9M19 - due to high institutional holding of 80%) and moving to improve its (even by offering higher rate).
