GCR Affirms Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited's Rating of A(ZW) GCR affirms Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited’s rating of A(ZW); Outlook Stable. Johannesburg, 30 April 2018 — Global Credit Ratings (“GCR”) has affirmed Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited’s long-term and short-term national scale ratings of A(ZW) and A1(ZW) respectively; with the outlook accorded as Stable. The ratings are valid until April 2019. SUMMARY RATING RATIONALE Global Credit Ratings (“GCR”) has accorded the above credit ratings Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited (“Nedbank Zimbabwe”, “the bank”), formerly MBCA Bank Limited (“MBCA”), based on the following key criteria: The ratings accorded to Nedbank Zimbabwe reflect its fairly resilient credit profile within a challenging operating environment (characterised by weak economic activity, and cash and foreign currency shortages), underpinned by healthy capitalisation, strong financial and liquidity profiles. The ratings also reflect the bank’s increasing albeit small balance sheet, the improving competitive position envisaged following rebranding to Nedbank, and the implied support from the bank’s parent Nedbank Group Limited (“Nedbank Group “the group”). MBCA rebranded to Nedbank Zimbabwe towards the end of Q1 2018. The rebranding is expected to competitively position the bank relative to peers in terms of attracting retail and/or corporate clients for transactional activities. Non-funded income remains the most significant contributor to the bank’s revenues (51.9% at both FY16 and FY17) and coupled with a strong IT infrastructure being put in place, maximising on the transactional income opportunity set is envisaged. Full profit retention has supported a healthy capital build over the past 5 years, with the bank targeting to meet the USD100m regulatory minimum capital threshold set for 2020 organically. In that regard, core capital grew by 15% to USD55.1m at FY17, remaining well above the current regulatory minimum of USD25m. Accordingly, the bank’s risk-weighted capital adequacy ratio registered at 32% at FY17 (FY16: 27.2%), comfortably exceeding the regulatory minimum ratio of 12%. Implementation of IFRS 9 (an expected loss model) in 2018 will result in higher provisioning requiring write-down of asset valuations. Although quantification of IFRS 9 impact is still being finalised, management views the capital buffer (mainly retained earnings) to be sufficient to absorb the expected higher impairment charge, taking cognisance of the bank’s internal capital generation rate that has registered around 13-14% over the past 5 years. However, the risk profile of the bank’s loan book compares less favourably to peers, as reflected by the bank’s gross non-performing loan (“NPL”) ratio which increased to 7.7% at FY17 (FY16: 7.1%, FY15: 6.2%) exceeding the industry average of 7.1%. In addition, the arrears portfolio (past due but not impaired) grew substantially by 342% to USD5.3m at FY17 (FY16: USD1.3m). Specific provision (pre-collateral) coverage for NPLs decreased to 41.3% at FY17 (FY16: 60.6%). Consequently, loan portfolio risk exposures evidence moderately low albeit increasing potential to capital erosion based on current levels as illustrated by net NPLs amounting to a higher 8.3% of total regulatory capital at FY17 (FY16: 5.6%). The bank’s net profit before tax rose 54.0% to USD10.7m in FY17 from USD7m in the prior year, supported by the growth in net interest and non-interest income of 10.4% and 19.5% respectively and reduction in impairments (positive charge due to recoveries). However, margin pressure continued to be noted in FY17, partly owing to the capping of lending rates by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe at 12% which took effect April 2017, and the bank’s low appetite for the alternative high yield government treasury bills. Overall, the ROaA and ROaE increased to 2.4% and 15% respectively in FY17 (FY16: 2.1% and 12.4%). Despite its retail growth strategy, the bank’s funding profile continues to be supported by its large corporate deposit book (40.9% of customer deposits at FY17), and remains susceptible to shocks, given its exposure to potentially volatile wholesale deposits. To manage liquidity risk, the bank maintains high levels of liquidity and at FY17 the prudential liquidity ratio was well above the statutory minimum of 30%. Strengthening of the business profile, supported by enhanced competitive position, stable/improving asset quality, and strong earnings generation, could trigger a positive rating action. A negative rating action will likely follow weakened shareholder support, coupled with a deterioration in key credit protection metrics.
