16 II. Economic Review and Outlook

17 Economic review Kenya’s GDP growth to be supported by stable inflation and high infrastructure development

• Kenya’s GDP grew by 4.9% in Q1’2015 supported by high spending on infrastructure by the government and globally

low oil prices which boosts the manufacturing and the construction sectors since Kenya is a net oil importer. Kenya is

expected to grow by 6.5% in 2015 according to the IMF

• Inflation has remained stable during the year and within the CBK range of 2.5% to 7.5%. The inflation rate started the

year at 5.5%, moved on to hit a high of 7.1% in April on the back of rising fuel prices but declined to 5.8% in August

• On the currency, the Kenya Shilling has depreciated by 15.9% YTD on account of (i) a strengthening Dollar globally and

expectations that the Fed may increase rates, (ii) a widening current account driven by high government spending and

(iii) declining foreign exchange inflows on the back of poor revenues from tea, horticulture and tourism. As of

September, the import cover stands at 4.1 months which is marginally ab o ve the mandatory requirement of 4 months.

However the government has an unutilised credit facility from the IMF of Kshs. 63 bn

• Since June, CBK has increased Rate (CBR) by 300 bps to 11.5% in order to stabilise the currency, and

eventually, the KBRR also increased by 133 basis points to 9.87%

18 Outlook Kenya’s economic outlook remains positive despite insecurity issues and a weakening currency

• The political scene in Kenya is stable but insecurity still remains a threat • Corruption is still rampant but the Governments war on graft is a step in the right Political direction Environment • The tourism sector having being hampered by insecurity issues and travel advisories is expected to recover after the advisories were lifted • Kenya’s economic growth is expected to be below target having grown only by 4.9% in Q1 2015 • The effects of devolution is expected to drive the economy as the various counties are Economic Growth given independence and transparent allocation of funds • The recent Obama visit GES summit raised investor confidence in the country and is set to attract private investment in the country • Pressures from a widening current account, high government expenditures and a The Currency strengthening dollar will affect the shilling moving forward. The MPC have taken several measures to tame the shilling downfall including raising CBR by 300 bps to 11.5%

• The drought experienced in the first quarter of 2015 affected the agricultural production as the industry is highly dependent on the March-May long rains. This in turn led to an Inflation uptick of inflation. Despite this inflation is within the CBK range of 2.5% to 7.5% and is expected to remain within this range • The is expected to step up the domestics borrowing for fiscal year 2015/16 since they Interest Rates have a net repayment of Kshs 21.9bn which will result into upward pressure on interest rates

19 III. Kenya Banking Sector Overview

20 Kenya’s Banking Sector Overview Kenya currently has 42 commercial banks, all regulated by the

• In Kenya there are a total of 42 commercial banks, 12 microfinance banks and 1 mortgage finance institution

• All banks are regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya. The Capital Markets Authority has additional oversight over the listed banks. All banks are required to adhere to certain prudential regulations such as minimum liquidity ratios and cash reserve ratios with the Central Bank

• Kenya has a high relative ratio of banks to the total population, with the 42 commercial banks serving a country of 44 million people, compared with Nigeria's 22 for 180 million inhabitants and South Africa's 19 for 55 million

Commercial Banks / Population(Millions) 1.2x 1.0x 1.0x 0.8x 0.6x 0.3x 0.4x 0.1x 0.2x 0.0x Kenya South Africa Nigeria • Credit Information Sharing systems (CIS), agency banking, revised prudential guidelines and mobile banking are some of the new developments in banking that have spurred increased efficiency in the sector, as well as enhanced competition

21 Growth in the Banking Sector Growth in the banking sector has been underpinned by alternative banking offerings

• Over the last few years, the Banking sector in Kenya has continued to grow in assets, deposits, profitability and products

offering

• The banking sector’s aggregate balance sheet grew by 6.8% from Kshs 3.37 tn in March 2015 to Kshs 3.60 tn in June

2015, faster than the 3.4% increase in Q1’2015

• The growth has mainly been underpinned by: ØØ Banks responding to the needs of the Kenyan market for convenience and efficiency through alternative banking

channels such as mobile, internet and agency banking

ØØ Industry wide branch network expansion strategy both in Kenya and in the region ØØ A resilience by banks to reduce their rates following the introduction of the KBRR. Kenyan banks have been fairly

good at protecting their margins regardless of the rate environment

22 Banking Sector Growth Drivers We expect banks to remain profitable in 2015 driven by cost containment and increased use of alternative channels There are a number of factors which will drive growth in Kenya’s banking sector:

1) Cost containment initiatives: In the event that NIMs decrease due to the increase in competition, banks will opt for more cost effective measures which ensure operational efficiency

2) Increased use of al ternati ve service delivery channels: With the growth of mo bile and agency banking, penetration in the market has increased and this will lead to a greater number of transactions as well as offer products to the mass market e.g. M-benki which was launched by KCB and Safaricom, and M-shwari which was a partnership between Safaricom and CBA

3) Growth of the retail segment: As the middle-class grows rapidly in Kenya, faster than majority of the countries in the region, there is an inherent increase in consumption expenditure and an increase in the percentage of the population which will require banking services

4) Expansion both regionally and domestically: With devolution in Kenya, we will see banks become more aggressive in trying to capture the opportunities that exist at county levels, which will increase their customer base. In addition, banks looking to expand in the less penetrated markets of Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan are opening up new channels of revenue in countries with a relatively attractive spread compared to Kenya

23 Recent Developments in the Banking Sector

Banks register the slowest growth in 6 years

There were a number of developments in the banking industry:

1) Increase in Interest Rates: The Kenya Bankers Reference Rate increased by 133 bps to 9.87% largely as a result of

an increase in the CBR by 300 bps to 11.5%. This will raise interest on all pegged on the KBRR

2) Lower earnings release: Banks recorded the slowest year on year growth in 6 years of 8.3% during H1’2015, as

compared to 15.6% in H1’ 2014

3) Rejection of increase in Core Capital Requirements as proposed in the 2015/2016 Budget: Parliament

rejected the proposal to increase core capital in banks to 5 bn by 2018

4) Dubai Bank Liquidation: Dubai bank was placed under receivership with the Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation

(KDIC) for failure to meet statutory requirements since July and for failure to honour a Kshs 48.2 mn financial

obligation due to Bank of Africa. The KDIC further recommended that the bank be liquidated

• Equity Bank ranked top, ranking high in return on capital, efficiency and revenue diversification. With the planned acquisition of ProCredit bank (Congo) and the roll out of Equitel which will the stock has an upside of 27.9% (including dividend yield)

• Standard Chartered ranked the second highest overall, ranking high in return on capital and deposit mobilisation despite being weighed down by low revenue diversification. The ranking was further boosted by the bank’s 21.8% upside

• Barclays Bank had the highest net interest margin attributable to the more expensive loans. The stock has a 20.7% upside mainly attributable to their aggressive entry into the SME market

• National Bank of Kenya, despite being associated with the Government, was the second most inefficient bank in terms of cost containment, operating at cost to income ratios of 54.3%. In addition, they have the lowest quality of assets in their loan portfolio, as can be seen by their NPLs which are 9.5% of their total loan book. The stock has a 63.5% downside

• Housing Finance ranked the lowest overall. It registered poor profitability, with the ROACE at 12.5% and their NIM at 7.1%, which was the third lowest in the market. In addition, they are hampered by liquidity issues, with a loan to deposit ratio of 133.5%. The stock has a 4.7% downside

Source: Cytonn Research 33 Future of the Banking Sector

The future is bright for the banking sector given the resilience to maintain margins

• There are concerns as to whether banks will be able to maintain their profitability margins with the increase of the CBR

to 11.5%. With the exception of minimal increases in non-performing loans, we do not think the banking businesses will

be impacted significantly by the increases as historically, Kenyan banks have been fairly good at protecting their margins

regardless of the rate environment

34 V. Appendix

35 A. Metrics Used

36 Banking Sector Report – Metrics Used Cytonn has undertaken analysis of the listed banks in Kenya using 11 key metrics

• Net Interest Margin - A bank’s net interest margin (NIM), is the difference between the interest paid on deposits and the interest earned on loans, relative to the amount of interest-earning assets with higher net interest margins translating into higherprofits Output: Majority of Bank’s funding is towards the issuing of loans rather than the purchase of government securities. Even with the introduction of the KBRR and the raising of the CBR to 10%, we expect banks to maintain their NIMs in 2015. Barclays had the highest NIM at 10.91%, with the lowest for CfC Stanbic at 5.32%

• Return on Average Common Equity - A bank’s return on average common equity (ROACE), is the amount of profit the bank earns as a percentage of average common shareholders’ eq ui ty. It’s a profitability measure that shows how much a company generates with the money shareholders have invested

Output: Banks with higher ROACEs are better at utilizing capital to generate profits. Equity bank has the highest ROACE at 30.53%, which was much above the industry average of the listed banks of 22.79%, while Ho using Finance had the lowest at 12.47%

37 Banking Sector Report – Metrics Used, continued… Cytonn has undertaken analysis of the listed banks in Kenya using 11 key metrics

• Price/Earnings to Growth Ratio - The price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio is the stock’s market price to earnings ratio divided by its growth in earnings for a specified period of time. The PEG ratio is used to determine the value of a stock while taking into ac co u nt its growth rate, with lower PEG ratios showing the stock is undervalued given the growth in its earnings

Output: To obtain this ratio, we estimated each bank’s 5-year growth rate based on analysis of (i) bank’s fundamentals, (ii) projections using each bank’s models and (iii) management’s input on a bank’s strategy going forward. KCB had the lowest PEG ratio at 0.34x, while Barclays was the most overvalued at 0.84x

• Deposits per Branch - A bank’s deposits per branch shows the amount of deposits a bank collects from each of its branches, hence a measure of efficiency. Banks with higher deposits per branch are preferred, as it shows for each unit cost of capital expenditure required to open new branches and their subsequent operating costs, a bank receives more in deposits

Output: CFC Stanbic and Standard Chartered have the highest deposits per branch at 4.79 bn and 4.41 bn, respectively, while Equity bank and National bank have the lowest deposits per branch at 1.31 bn and 1.30 bn, respectively. However, this is due to the high number of branches which Equity Bank has, as well as the large corporate book of CfC Stanbic and Standard Chartered

38 Banking Sector Report – Metrics Used, continued… Cytonn has undertaken analysis of the listed banks in Kenya using 11 key metrics

• Loans to Deposits Ratio - A bank’s loans to deposit ratio (LDR) is a measure of liquidity as it shows how much of a bank’s loans are being funded by its deposits. Low LDR ratios indicate that the bank may not be earning a lot of interest. Very high LDR’s indicate that the bank might not have enough liquidity to cover any unforeseen funding requirements, and ratios above 1 show that the bank supplemented their loan issues with outside borrowings

Output: Our analysis showed us that in Kenya, the loan to deposit ratio has been steadily increasing, showing increased uptake of loans and more aggressive use of deposits by banks. Taking a preferred LDR of 86.5% which was the mean, we found that Co-operative was closest to the target at 82.5%, while Housing Finance was the farthest at 133.5%

• Cost to Income Ratio - The cost to income ratio is a measure of a bank’s efficiency, showing its costs in relation to its income. A lower ratio is preferred, as it indicates a bank is more profitable. An increase in the ratio often highlights potential problems as it shows a bank’s costs rose faster than its income; while a fall in the ratio could be brought by management’s cost cutting measures

Output: We see many Kenyan banks making an effort to be mo re efficient. Many Kenyan banks have opted to restructure in a bid to bring down costs and subsequently this ratio, most recently being Co -operative which was able to bring its cost to income ratio down to 47.6%, in line with the industry average. I&M maintained the lowest cost to income ratio of 33.8%, while CfC Stanbic had the highest ratio at 59.9%

39 Banking Sector Report – Metrics Used, continued… Cytonn has undertaken analysis of the listed banks in Kenya using 11 key metrics

• Price to Tangible Book Value - This is a valuation ratio that expresses the bank’s market price to its tangible book value. It shows the price an investor would pay for a unit amount in the event of a liquidation. A ratio of less than one indicates that the bank’s assets are undervalued in the market while a ratio greater than one signifies overvaluation Output: We find Housing Finance maintained its position as the most undervalued bank as per this metric, while Equity bank is still the most overvalued

• Tangible Common Equity Ratio - This is the ratio of a bank’s common equity less intangible assets to its tangible assets. It is a common indicator of a bank’s risk and capitalization and measures how much losses a bank can take before shareholder’s equity is wiped out, hence solvency

Output: Standard Chartered is the most solvent with a tangible common ratio of 16.5%, while National Bank was the least solvent at 5.5%

• Non-Performing Loans to Total Loans Ratio - This is a measure of the percentage of a bank’s issued loans that are non-performing that is, in default, or close to being in default Output: Diamond Trust bank had the highest quality loan book with a non-performing loans to total loans ratio of 0.9%, while National Bank had the highest non-performing loans at 9.5% 40 Banking Sector Report – Metrics Used, continued… Cytonn has undertaken analysis of the listed banks in Kenya using 11 key metrics

• Provisions to Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) - This is a credit quality metric that measures the credit risks for banks. It shows the extent to which the NPLs are covered by provisions hence the degree of stability of the bank’s lending base, with higher ratios preferred Output: Diamond Trust Bank has the highest provisions to non-performing loans at 87.2%, while National Bank has the lowest at 10.7%. This is ironic given that DTBK has the lowest NPLs/ Loans of 0.9% while NBK has the highest NPLs/Loans of 9.5%

• Non-Interest Income to Revenue - The non interest income is the income earned from sources other than loans and investments. The non-interest income to revenue therefore shows the extent of diversification of a bank’s operations. High levels are preferred, not exceeding the point where the bank loses focus of its primary business

Output: We see that Kenyan banks’ non-interest income is set to benefit from new initiatives such as banc-assurance and mobile banking. CfC Stanbic has the highest non-interest income as a percentage of revenue at 41.6%, while Housing Finance has the lowest at 15.2%

• Camel Rating - This is a ranking system that assesses the overall condition of a bank, that is, Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Quality, Earnings Quality and Liquidity
