Banks Strong earnings and compelling dividends

Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected]

2Q21 preview Consensus estimates continue to be revised higher ó For 2Q21, we forecast the seven financial holding companies under our coverage—including Industrial of Korea (IBK)—to deliver combined net profit of W4.3tr (+38% YoY). ó Our estimate is 11% higher than the recently raised consensus. ó We anticipate : 1) a visible recovery in bank earnings; 2) structurally strong securities earnings; and 3) continued strength in credit card and auto finance/lease subsidiaries. ó Robust top-line growth combined with limited cost increases should provide profit growth momentum.

Robust earnings to continue into Core income indicators to remain healthy , with 2021 NIM likely to rebound 5bps YoY 2H21 ó We estimate bank net interest margin (NIM) expanded 4bps on average in 2Q21, helped by lower deposit rates due to repricing and portfolio improvements (a higher share of low-cost core deposits, such as demand deposits). ó When (short-term) interest rates rise, NIM should expand further on higher lending rates. We have yet to model this into our earnings estimates. ó Last year’s above-10% loan growth should have positive effects on interest income. For 2021, we expect solid loan growth of 6.5%. ó Group interest income: We look for robust group-level interest income, backed by: 1) bank NI M expansion and solid loan growth; 2) healthy interest income from non-bank subsidiaries (credit card and auto finance/lease companies); 3) global operations; and 4) inorganic growth. ó Group commission income: We expect group-level commission income to be supported by: 1) a diversified income base (securities, credit cards, etc.); and 2) a recovery in ’ commission income (low base effects), including trust commissions. ó SG&A expenses: We see further improvements in the cost-to-income ratio, driven by cost structure improvements (early retirement programs, channel improvements, etc.) and cost - saving efforts. We expect the ratio to decline to 47.2% in 2021 and 46.2% in 2022 (vs. 57.3% in 2015, 52.1% in 2017, 50.5% in 2019, and 49.5% in 2020). ó Credit cost ratio: We forecast credit cost ratio to fall to 33bps in 2021, helped by last year’s preemptive provisioning related to COVID-19 (41bps).

KakaoBank and Pay set to IPOs could negatively affect near -ter m supply/demand, but some positive s also expected go public in August ó (-): Funds across global equity markets are flowing into industries (companies) that are seen as disruptive and having higher growth potential. This could negatively affect traditional banks (financial holding companies) in terms of supply/demand. ó (-): The battle to become the leading “comprehensive financial platform” is likely to heat up. ó (+): Once the initial IPO effects subside, we believe financial holding companies’ diversified business portfolios, earnings power, robust capital, progress in digital transformation, and cheap valuations will gain renewed attention.

Investment points and Strong and stable earnings across the sector and 2021 -23F dividend yields of 5 -7% valuations ó Sentiment on the banking sector is likely to benefit from expectations for rising interest rates over the medium term from 2H21. ó Banking stocks look undervalued over all, with the sector trading at a 2021F P/B of 0.4x (vs. ROE of 9.2%) and a 2021F P/E of 4.5x. ó Top picks: We recommend (HFG) and KB Financial Group (KBFG) as our top picks, as both appear steeply undervalued relative to their fundament als (strong earnings stability and cost efficiency) and outstanding CET1 ratios. ó The Financial Services Commission’s (FSC) recommendation on capital management expired as scheduled at the end of June. We expect financial holding companies with good capital positions to resume their normal dividend policies in July (starting with interi m dividends and 2Q21 quarterly dividends). ó We believe the sector offers attractive dividends, with dividend yields estimated at 5.5% for 2021, 6.1% for 2022, and 6.6% for 2023 (simple averages; quarterly and final dividends combined).

KB Financial Group Buy (105560 KS ) (Maintain)

A sector leader with strong earnings momentum TP: W72,000 ▲ Upside: 36.4%

Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected]

Valuation and recommendation Raise TP to W72,000; one of our top picks ó KB Financial Group (KBFG) boasts a well-balanced business portfolio and strong earnings stability. ó In 2020, the group acquired Cambodia’s Prasac Microfinance, Indonesia’s Bank Bukopin, and Prudential Life Insurance of Korea. ó In 2021, we expect inorganic profit growth momentum to take hold. ó We revise up our 2021-23 net profit forecasts by 5.4-6.1%. ó We raise our target price on KBFG from W70,500 to W72,000 (target P/B of 0.65x). ó Given our 2021-23 ROE forecasts of 8.7-9.8%, the stock looks undervalued on an absolute basis, trading at a 2021F P/B of 0.47x. ó We estimate 2021-23 dividend yields at 5.8-6.5% (quarterly dividends to begin at W700 per share for 2Q21).

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W1.17tr (+19% YoY), 5% above consensus ó We expect group net interest income of W2.6tr (+13% YoY, +0.1% QoQ), supported by: 1) bank NIM of 1.57% (+1bp QoQ); 2) won-denominated loan growth of 1.7% QoQ; and 3) non- bank/inorganic growth. ó We expect group net commission income of W922.8bn (+30% YoY, -5% QoQ). We believe securities earnings somewhat weakened QoQ due to a decline in trading value, but the impact was likely cushioned by strong credit card commission income and a pickup in non-life insurance’s other non-interest income. ó We expect cost-to-income ratio of 48.3% (-0.2%p YoY, +1.0%p QoQ). ó We look for credit cost ratio of 24bps (-9bps YoY, +5bps QoQ). Actual delinquencies and new NPL formation likely remained benign.

Profit growth to stand out Sector leader with strong earnings momentum ó We expect: 1) continued strength in non-bank subsidiaries that performed well in 2020; 2) a recovery in insurance; and 3) a turnaround in banking. ó For 2021, we forecast net profit attributable to owners of the parent and EPS to grow 27% YoY.

Capital returns and EPS growth to normalize in 2021 TP: W50,000 ▲ Upside: 27.6%

Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected]

Valuation and recommendation NIM expansion and profit growth momentum; raise TP to W50,000 ó (SFG) enjoys earnings stability, supported by its diversified business portfolio and the growth of its global division. ó Given our ROE forecasts, the stock looks undervalued, trading at a 2021F P/B of 0.44x. ó We revise up our 2021-23 net profit forecasts by 3.8-5.1%. ó We raise our target price from W49,000 to W50,000 (based on a target P/B of 0.5 6x and sustainable ROE of 7.9%).

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W1.15tr (+31% YoY), 12% above consensus ó We expect group net interest income of W2.6tr (+8% YoY, +3% QoQ), aided by: 1) bank NIM of 1.41% (+2bps QoQ) thanks to an increase in low-cost deposits and a decrease in high-cost deposits (time deposits); 2) won-denominated loan growth of 1.6% QoQ; and 3) global/non- bank growth. ó We expect group net commission income of W659.9bn (+10% YoY, -3% QoQ). ó We believe cost-to-income ratio rose to 42.7% (+1.2%p YoY, +2.1%p QoQ) due to: 1) branch efficiency/early retirement programs (W46bn); and 2) costs related to the Jul. 1 integration of the life insurance business with Orange Life Insurance. Still, we view this as a healthy level. ó We project credit cost ratio at 26bps (-39bps YoY, +5bps QoQ). ó We estimate private fund-related losses at around W17bn.

Shareholder return policy to Quarterly dividend distributions to begin in 2Q21 normalize ó The FSC’s recommendation on capital management expired as scheduled at the end of June. ó We forecast SFG’s dividend payout ratio to rise to 26.7% in 2021, 28.4% in 2022, and 29.4% in 2023 (vs. 23.9% in 2018, 26.0% in 2019, and 23.5% in 2020). ó We estimate the stock’s 2021-23F dividend yields at 5.4-6.4% (quarterly dividend distributions to begin at W500 per share for 2Q21).

Share price to eventually converge with earnings and TP: W60,500 ▲ capital returns Upside: 37.5%

Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected]

Valuation NIM expansion driving profit growth momentum; lift TP to W60,500 (from W57,000) ó HFG looks steeply undervalued, trading at a 2021F P/B of 0.4x vs. our 2021-23 ROE forecasts of 8.8-9.6%. ó We revise up our 2021-23 net profit forecasts by 2.4-3.8%, reflecting stronger-than-anticipated NIM expansion. ó We lift our target price to W60,500 (based on a target P/B of 0.54x and sustainable ROE of 7.7%).

Recommendation A compelling investment case; our top pick alongside KBFG ó HFG has either resolved or visibly improved the major issues that had contributed to its valuation discount in the past (CET1 ratio, asset quality, earnings power, and ROE). ó We believe HFG is closing its fundamental gap with SFG and KBFG. As such, we believe the stock’s valuation gap could also narrow to a certain extent. ó Dividend appeal: HFG has consistently paid out interim dividends. We estimate 2021-23 dividend yields at 6.3-7.7% b ased on interim and final dividends combined. For 2021, we expect interim dividend of W750 per share (vs. W500 for 2020). ó Cost efficiency: We forecast cost-to-income ratio of 45% in 2021, 43% in 2022, and 42% in 2023 (vs. 62% in 2016, 52% in 2018, and 45% in 2020).

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W860.7bn (+25% YoY), 5% above raised consensus ó We expect group net interest income of W1.6tr (+15% YoY, +5% QoQ), aided by: 1) bank NIM of 1.42% (+6bps QoQ) largely due to lower funding costs; 2) won-denominated loan growth of 1.7% QoQ; and 3) the continuation of strong interest income from global operations. ó We expect group net commission income of W575.1bn (+8% YoY, -3% QoQ), helped by: 1) a recovery in bank commission income (which was sluggish in 2020); and 2) continued strength in non-bank segments (securities and credit card). ó We look for credit cost ratio of 24bps (-33bps YoY, +12bp QoQ). Actual delinquencies and new NPL formation likely remained benign.

Lower credit costs to drive earnings surprise TP: W12,500 ▲ Upside: 20.2%

Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected]

Recommendation and valuation Maintain Buy and raise TP to W12,500 (from W11,500) ó We revise up our 2021-23 net profit forecasts on (IBK) by 5.4-6.2%. ó We raise our target price from W11,500 to W12,500 (target P/B of 0.37x). ó In 2020, IBK’s policy financing role (supporting small/self-employed businesses hit hard by COVID-19) resulted in profit erosion. ó In 2021, we forecast earnings and ROE to grow on the back of solid loan growth, NIM stabilization, and a lower credit cost ratio. ó Dividends look appealing, with 2021-23 dividend yields estimated at 6.1-6.7%.

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W555.8bn (+76% YoY), 40% above consensus (around W400bn) ó We expect net interest income of W1.49tr (+5% YoY, +4% QoQ). ó Standout volume growth: We look for won-denominated loan growth of 2.3% QoQ (+5.3% YTD). ó The 13.3% loan asset growth in 2020 likely had positive effects on interest income. ó We expect cost-to-income ratio of 41.3% (+1.0%p YoY, +3.5%p QoQ), which includes profit incentive payouts (typically recognized in the second quarter). ó Despite the credit assessments of audited companies in 2Q21, we estimate credit costs fell to 18bps (-44bps YoY, -3bps QoQ) of total assets, thanks to preemptive provisioning last year.

Profit growth to resume on NIM NIM bottom s out in 1H21; growth to get back on track in 2021 rebound ó We believe NIM continued to recover in 2Q21, gaining 4bps QoQ to 1.51% (vs. +1bp QoQ in 1Q21). ó Despite the lingering effects of ultra-low interest rate loans (due for repricing in 2022), we believe NIM rebounded in 1H21, helped by the expansion of other loans. ó For 2021, we forecast net profit to expand to W1.99tr (+29% YoY) and ROE to rise to 7.6% (vs. 6.4% in 2020).

Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected]

Investment points and valuation Upgrade to Buy and lift TP to W9,100 ó We revise up our 2021-23 net profit estimates for BNK Financial Group (BNKFG) by 5.5-12.3% , in light of faster-than-expected net interest income growth. ó We lift our target price to W9,100 (from W8,200), based on a target P/B of 0.33x. ó Accordingly, we upgrade our rating on BNKFG to Buy from Trading Buy. ó For 2021, we forecast net profit to grow 31% YoY and ROE to improve to 7.6% (from 6.1% in 2020) on the back of robust loan growth and NIM expansion.

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W203.2bn (+17% YoY) ó For 2Q21, we expect net profit to come in 4-10% above consensus estimates (which have been steadily raised). ó Group net interest income likely amounted to W613bn (+14% YoY, +4% QoQ). ó We estimate NIM increased 6bps to 1.97% at BNK Busan Bank and 1bp to 1.85% at BNK Kyongnam Bank, with loans likely growing 4.4% QoQ (+9.2% YTD) at BNK Busan Bank and 1.9% QoQ (+6.2% YTD) at BNK Kyongnam Bank. We believe non-banking subsidiaries also recorded healthy interest income. ó We believe group fee/commission income was supported by continued strength in PF fees (banking) and securities operations. ó We believe cost-to-income ratio was efficiently managed at 49.3% (-2.3%p YoY, +1.3%p QoQ). ó We estimate credit cost ratio at 40bps (-7bps YoY, -8bps QoQ).

Dividend Dividend payout ratio to be raised ó If the group’s internal ratings-based approach is approved by regulators within 2021, we estimate this will provide a roughly 2%p lift to the CET1 ratio. ó We forecast dividend payout ratio to rise to 22% in 2021, 24.1% in 2022, and 26.1% in 2023 (vs. 14.8% in 2016, 19.5% in 2018, and 20% in 2020). ó Dividend yields look attractive, estimated at 6.1% for 2021, 6.9% for 2022, and 7.6% for 2023.

Valuation and recommendation Raise TP to W 11 ,500 ó We revise up our 2021-23 net profit estimates for DGB Financial Group (DGBFG) by 7.8-9.4% to reflect loan growth and a stronger-than-expected NIM. ó Accordingly, we raise our target price from W10,500 to W11,500 (target P/B of 0.39x). ó We continue to see solid loan growth, NIM gains, and robust earnings from non-banking subsidiaries (auto finance/lease, etc.). ó For the full year, we look for net profit growth of 27% YoY and ROE of 8.7% (vs. 7.3% in 2020). ó Dividend yields look attractive, estimated at 6.1% for 2021, 7.1% for 2022, and 7.4% for 2023.

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W123 .5bn ( +27%) ó DGBFG’s 2Q21 net profit likely came in 6-9% above consensus estimates. ó Group net interest income likely increased 10% YoY (+4% QoQ) to W390.4bn. ó At the bank level, we estimate NIM gained 2bps QoQ thanks to lower deposit rates, with loans likely growing 3% QoQ (+7.0% YTD). ó Expenses related to early retirement packages, which are typically concentrated in 4Q, will be distributed more evenly this year (2Q and 3Q); cost-to-income ratio likely reached 54.8% (+1.8%p YoY, +2.3%p QoQ). ó We believe that W8bn in credit costs (related to an overseas property purchase) were written back. ó We estimate credit cost ratio at 30bps (-37bps YoY, -1bp QoQ).

Diversification effects Loan portfolio /geographical diversification policy ó Loan portfolio asset/geographical diversification policy: The group is seeking to increase its mix of household loans—mainly high-quality secured loans—to over 35% (33% in 1Q21, up from 25% in 2018). ó Diversified business portfolio: The net profit contribution of non-bank subsidiaries has been increasing following the Hi Investment & Securities acquisition in Oct. 2018.

Dividends DPS growth: 42 % in 2021F (vs. 67% in 2019 and 25% in 2020) ó In recent years, JBFG’s low CET1 ratio has resulted in low dividend payout ratios relative to peers. ó Dividend payout: 14.4% in 2018 and 17.1% in 2019 (vs. 2019 ratios of 20.9% for BNKFG and 21.2% for DGBFG) ó The FSC’s recommendation to exercise caution on dividends due to COVID-19 uncertainties expired at end-June. ó We forecast dividend payout to increase to 22.4% in 2021, 24.1% in 2022, and 25.7% in 2023, which would translate into attractive dividend yields of 7.2%, 8.0%, and 8.8%, respectively.

2Q21 preview Net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W133 .2bn (+ 45 % YoY) ó For 2Q21, we expect net profit to come in roughly 16% above the consensus. ó Bank NIM likely expanded 8bps at Jeonbuk Bank and 9bps QoQ at Kwangju Bank, driven by falling deposit rates and reduced exposure to less profitable assets. ó Bank loans likely contracted 1.4% QoQ at Jeonbuk Bank and expanded 0.9% QoQ at Kwangju Bank. Notably, JBFG is not actively seeking to facilitate loan growth; rather it is focusing on reducing low-margin assets such as progressive payment loans. ó We believe cost-to-income ratio was well managed, at 40.6% (-4.7%p YoY, -4.3%p QoQ). ó We estimate credit cost ratio at 35bps (-16bps YoY, +15bps QoQ).
