KCB Group Plc Reports Kshs.10.9B in Q3 Net Earnings. Controlled Loan Growth, Robust Deposit Mobilization and Strong Non-Branch KCB Group Plc Kencom House P. O. Box 48400 – 00100 Nairobi, Kenya Tel: +254 20 3270000 / 2851000 / 2852000 Mobile: +254 711 012 000 / 734 108 200 SMS: 22522 Email: [email protected] Press Release November 11, 2020 KCB Group Plc Reports KShs.10.9B in Q3 Net Earnings. Controlled Loan Growth, Robust Deposit Mobilization and Strong Non-branch Activity Headline Business Resilience Amid COVID-19 Pandemic. KCB Group Plc after-tax profits for the nine months ending September 2020 stood at KShs.10.9 billion, 43% lower than the KShs.19.2 billion recorded last year. The performance was largely impacted by increased provision on loans and advances in the wake of increased risk of credit default associated with the COVID 19 pandemic. Review- Group CEO & MD Joshua Oigara. “This has been a challenging period for the business, staff, our customers and the economy. Our focus has been on keeping our staff and customers safe while at the same time giving business support to the communities we operate in as well as our customers. The pandemic has had a deep socio-economic impact and hence our decision to stand with our stakeholders,” said KCB Group CEO & MD Joshua Oigara. The Group has enabled staff to work from home and implemented Covid19 protocols at all its branches and premises. For the period under review, the Bank restructured customer facilities worth KShs. 105 billion. Key Financial Highlights. Performance Theme Q3 2020 Q3 2019 Profitability KShs.10.9B KShs.19.2B Total Assets KShs. 972.0B KShs.764.3B Customer Deposit Growth 31.7% 11.4% Net Loans Growth 18.7% 11.7% Cost of Funds 2.7% 2.8% % of NPLs 15.2% 8.3% Income Growth According to the financials released on Wednesday, total income was up 16% to stand at KShs.69.1 billion, compared with KShs.59.7 billion reported in September 2019. KCB Group Plc Directors: A. W. Kairu (Chairman); J. N. Oigara; L. K. Kiambi; C.S. – National Treasury; T. D. Ipomai; J. O. A Nyerere; Ms. G. M. Malombe; L. M. Njiru; Mrs. A.O. Eriksson; A. R. M. Mohamed; Dr. J.O Bagaka. Net interest income increased 24% to KShs.47.9 billion from KShs.38.7 billion, riding on additional interest from investments in Government securities and lending. During the period, non-funded income was slightly up from KShs.21.0 billion to KShs.21.3 billion, impacted by the reduction in loan disbursements to mobile customers during the period. The proportion of non-branch transactions stood at 98% up from 95% in Q3 2019 mainly driven by mobile, internet and agency banking. At KShs.14.3 billion from KShs.14.1 billion last year, fees and commissions remained under pressure due to reduced transactions. Forex income too—closing the period at KShs.3.3 billion compared to KShs.3.5 billion— was subdued because of volatility of key currencies with prolonged lock downs and stagnating trade. Cost Management The Group has undertaken stringent cost management measures which have yielded good results to date. On a like to like basis, year on year operating expenses are 1% lower in 2020 compared to same period in the previous year. Loan loss provisions was up to KShs. 20.0 billion from KShs.5.8 billion in the previous period, this has been driven by changes in customer risk profiles and impact of the pandemic on macroeconomic drivers. Balance Sheet Growth The Group’s balance sheet expanded 27% to KShs.972 billion, funded by customer deposits growth and acquisition of NBK. Net loans and advances grew 19% to close the period at KShs. 577.5 billion while customer deposits were up 32% to KShs. 772.7 billion. Shareholders’ equity grew 12% from KShs. 121.2 billion to KShs. 135.9.1 billion. This was driven by the growth in earnings over the 12-month period to September 2020. Most of the key balance sheet ratios—liquidity, loan to deposit ratio and cost of funds—showed an improvement at 38.1%, 74.7& and 2.7% respectively. Asset Quality The contraction in economic activity continued to hurt credit quality across segments. The non-performing loans (NPLs) book rose to KShs.97.0 billion up from KShs 42.6 billion in 2019. The ratio of NPLs to total loan book increased to 15.2% from 8.3% in 2019, mainly due to consolidation of NBK and COVID-19 related downgrades. KCB Group Plc Directors: A. W. Kairu (Chairman); J. N. Oigara; L. K. Kiambi; C.S. – National Treasury; T. D. Ipomai; J. O. A Nyerere; Ms. G. M. Malombe; L. M. Njiru; Mrs. A.O. Eriksson; A. R. M. Mohamed; Dr. J.O Bagaka. Capital Position The Group maintained healthy buffers on its capital ratios over the minimum regulatory requirement. The Group’s core capital as a proportion of total risk weighted assets closed the period at 17.8% against the Central Bank of Kenya statutory minimum of 10.5%. Total capital to risk-weighted assets stood at 19.6% against a regulatory minimum of 14.5%. Outlook “While the pandemic is far from over and likely to continue into the next year, further straining the business and economy, we are projecting some recovery as the East Africa region finds some stability in living with the effects of the virus. We will continue to support our customers through the crisis and enhance initiatives geared towards ringfencing the business. Our approach is conserving cash and managing cost,” said Mr. Oigara.
