2 Figures as of April 2015

 Total loan portfolio accelerates in April. The industry’s total loan portfolio grew at a very healthy 13% annual rate, which was slightly above the 12% rate of the previous month.  Enterprise and government, the main drivers. This performance was mainly driven by a 14% increase in enterprise loans which represent 44% of the industry’s total loan portfolio. In this case, there was a slight acceleration in the growth rate compared to the previous month’s 13%; in addition, government loans (15% of total) advanced 27%, slightly above the previous month’s 25% annual expansion, which confirms our positive view on this segment. This was fueled by an 8% increase in states and municipalities (vs. 7% in March) and a 73% growth in other government entities (vs. +65% in March).  Consumer loans stagnate. Consumer loans (21% contribution to total loans) were up 6% YoY, which was in line with the rate of the previous five months. This included a 1% rise in credit cards, 20% in payrolls and 1% in personal loans.  Mortgages register a solid growth. Mortgages (17% of total) advanced 9% YoY, also in line with the previous month’s annual growth rate.  Most of the banks that we cover continued to gain market share. Banregio’s loan portfolio grew 31%, Sanmex’s 18% and Interacciones’s 27%. was the only one that lost some market share as its loan book rose only 11%.  Stable asset quality. The industry’s NPL ratio was 3.05% in April, which was basically in line with March’s 3.04%. However, it was below last year’s 3.38% level.

3 Figures as of April 2015

 Banregio presents a slightly higher NPL ratio. Sanmex’s, Banorte’s and Banco Interacciones’s NPL ratio’s remained basically unchanged vs. March this year at 3.70%, 2.76% and 0.15%, respectively. However, Banregio’s NPL ratio experienced a marginal increase to 1.45%.  The industry’s ROE improves. The industry’s ROE improved marginally to 13.15% in April, compared to 12.98% in March. By bank, there was a slight rebound at Banco Interacciones (17.52%) and a marginal reduction at Sanmex (13.32%), Banorte (13.27%) and Banregio (17.72%), in all cases compared to March this year.  Recommendations. This information confirms our positive point of view on GFInter and Sanmex and our neutral views on GFNorte and GFRegio.

4 Outlook

We continue to like the Mexican banking sector because of the following reasons:  High growth potential. After this report, we revised upwards the growth of the banking credit that we expect to 14% in 2015 and 15% in 2016. The main drivers are a stronger macroeconomic performance and a low financial penetration.  Solid asset quality. We also expect the industry’s NPL ratio to reach 2.8% and 2.7%, respectively.  Higher margins. We believe that bank margins could expand gradually if Banco de increases its interest rates, which will probably take place in the second half of 2015.  Higher capitalization. We expect the capitalization index of Mexican banks to remain above 15% in the future, which will allow them to grow significantly without any additional capital.  Our recommendations are: BUY on Sanmex and GFInter, HOLD on GFRegio and GFNorte.  The main risk in our projections would be a lower-than-expected macroeconomic growth.
