[Korea] Banks February 8, 2021 Hana Financial Group Buy (086790 KS ) (Maintain) Solid fundamentals and external headwinds baked in ; TP: W47,000 time to buy Upside: 30.0% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Heather Kang [email protected] 4Q20 and 2020 review 4Q20 net profit of W532.8bn (+52% YoY, -30% QoQ), another positive surprise For 4Q20, Hana Financial Group (HFG) announced net profit attributable to owners of the parent of W532.8bn, beating the consensus (W418.6bn based on FnGuide and W433.5bn based on Bloomberg) by more than 20%. Major one-off items in the quarter included: 1 ) W169.6bn in early retirement expenses; 2) W149.3bn in F/X-translation gains on non-monetary foreign currency assets; 3) W108.2bn in additional provisioning related to COVID-19; and 4) W112.6bn in losses related to private equity funds. We estimate underlying net profit on a recurring basis was robust, at over W700bn. For 2020 as a whole, net profit expanded for the fifth consecutive year. Non-bank operations contributed 34% of 2020 net profit (vs. 21% in 2017, 22% in 2018, and 24% in 2019). 2020 group ROE was 9.0% (vs. 8.8% for KB Financial Group, 8.4% for Shinhan Financial Group). Group NPL ratio was 0.40% (-7bps YoY), and bank delinquency ratio was 0.19% (-1bp YoY). Dividends More aggressive shareholder returns (share repurchase s/cancellations, interim dividend distributions) expected after Jun. 2021 For 2020, HFG declared a final dividend of W1,350 per share (interim dividend was W500). Payout ratio was 20%, down from 23% in 2017 and 26% in 2018-19. The group called the payout cut a temporary move in response to regulators’ recommendation that banks have sufficient capital to buffer against losses. Given the group’s solid capital position and asset quality, we expect 2021-22 dividend payout to normalize to 26% and 27%, respectively. Investment points Dividend and valuation appeal; maintain Buy and TP of W 47,000 ; r eiterate as our top pick As of end-2020, HFG has a CET1 ratio of 12.03%, which does not yet reflect the early implementation of the new Basel III credit risk framework (which will lead to an increase of around 1.6%p in the capital ratio). We believe the group has enough capital to buffer against future losses and support growth. Earnings uncertainties have eased thanks to the group’s visibly improved earnings power, preemptive loss recognition, and cost efficiency enhancements. In 2021, we look for a modest rise in bond yields, which should help improve investor sentiment.
