DFCU Group Ltd FY2015 Audited Accounts Snapshot DFCU Group FY2015 Audited Financials Snapshot th 13 April 2016 Buy/Hold DFCU Group (USE: DFCU) Audited Accounts (2015): Rising expenses and Price 12/04/16 UGX 900 non-performing loans, profitability dips by 16.2% 12m Target Price* UGX 954 Analyst Opinion: BUY/HOLD with a 1-Year Target price of Ugx954 ($0.29): DFCU Group’s lower Upside to TP 6.00% performance was anticipated from the company’s half year unaudited accounts. That said, the company had a better second half of 2015 as observed from the 16% reduction in net profit compared to a 28% drop in the six months to June 2015. A higher cost to income ratio points to investments in Information Technology and effecting changes in business operations to improve efficiency. While the growing loan book reported to be Ugx807.6Bn ($241.4Mn) is quite impressive, we remain wary of the asset quality given its clientele focus. DFCU’s loan book is mainly comprised of the Trade and commerce (contributing 18% according to FY2014 Annual Report), which entails mainly small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Second to trade and commerce, DFCU also provides loans to the agricultural sector and real estate each with 12% contribution to the loan book (Annual report 2014). The managing director of DFCU bank recently said that one of the reasons for the surge in non-performing loans last year was the restructuring of loans for one of their major clients involved in the agricultural sector. The risk of increasing non-performing loans still holds as the effects of the high lending rates witnessed last year continue to feed into the economy. Overall however, Uganda’s banking sector remains adequately capitalized with a capital adequacy level of 18.6% for 2015 according to statistics from Bank of Uganda. This is far above the statutory minimum of 8% adequacy requirement. DFCU’s core capital to risk weighted assets stood at 14.4% last year slightly lower than 16.5% in 2014. The bank’s insider loan exposure was recorded at Ugx2.1Bn ($0.6Mn) from Ugx1.7Bn ($0.5Mn) previously. Our opinion is that Uganda’s banking sector is more safeguarded from the turbulence currently observed in neighboring Kenya owing to stringent monitoring by the Central Bank which ensures the stability of the sector. We give DFCU a moderate Buy/Hold recommendation owing to the execution of its strategic plan left with 3 years, which is likely to position the bank for the future growth. Recent Figure 1: DFCU Group Ltd Share Price Trend (Year on Year) amendments to the Financial Institutions Act also offer an opportunity for more growth through agency banking. Agency banking is where commercial banks use agents to take deposits on their Source: Bloomberg, Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) behalf and also provide for withdrawals. Our opinion is that DFCU will continue to capitalize on its niche in the SME and agribusiness space to boost its growth levels.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model uses a market risk of 8.24%, a risk factor of 16.38% and expected return of 16.18%, we get a 1-year target price of Ugx1,068.85 ($0.32). PE multiples method; using a sectoral PE of 14.33 and a trailing PE of 11.9, we get a target price of Ugx936 ($0.28). For the three Stage Discounted Cash Flow; using a risk factor of 16%, a discount rate of 9% and a margin of safety of 25%, we get a target price of Ugx858.76 ($0.26). Taking an average of the target prices from the three models gives a 1-year target price of Ugx954 ($0.28) which has an upside of 6% from DFCU’s current price of Ugx900 ($0.27). Recommendation Guide: BUY – Strong Fundamentals; BUY/HOLD - Fundamentals are good, in line with sector performance and guidance; HOLD - Future Outlook remains positive; SELL/HOLD - Substantial Risk to fundamentals, negative outlook and guidance; SELL - Strong Risk on fundamentals 1$ = Ugx3,345 DISCLAIMER: The information contained herein is obtained from sources, which to the best of our knowledge are reliable.

Everyone we interviewed, individually or in a group, as well as those with whom we spoke briefly over the phone or in large meetings, was gracious and patient, and brought new insights into the development of the sector. We are truly impressed with the commitment and unity of purpose in serving low-income clients. With much gratitude, we thank each of you for your shared wisdom and trust this report will enrich your work. It was the private sector donors who had the foresight to see how much could be learned from Ugandan microfinance. It was the organizational prowess of Jackie Atenyi (GTZ), Gabriella Braun (GTZ), and Joanna Ledgerwood (SPEED) that enabled us to achieve so much in a short time.
