Bank Syariah Indonesia (BRIS IJ) (Buy) - Solid FY24 results

Banks EW 344 7th Feb, 2025

We adjust our earnings forecast post-FY24 results

BRIS continued to deliver solid 4Q24 results with headline profit of IDR1.9tr (+11% q-q / +26% y-y), bringing FY24 profit to IDR7.0tr (+23% y-y). At the operating level, the bank reported FY24 net financing income of IDR18.6tn (+8% y-y) and PPOP of IDR11.3tn (+10% y-y), relatively robust compared to its major peers. We attribute this to its better yields that resulted in a NFM (net financing margin) of 5.8% in 4Q24 (up from 5.5% a year ago). Among major banks, we think BRIS has proportionally more fixed-yielding earnings assets than most conventional banks. We estimate ~55-60% of total financings are fixed-yielding in nature. Further, we expect BRIS to continue delivering higher financing growth than the sector average and stabilizing funding costs, which would minimize pressure on NFM. In our view, these will be the key earnings drivers in the medium terms for the bank. Meanwhile, we expect asset quality to improve further, which could potentially keep provisions expense (CoC) at <100bp.

On balance sheet, the bank delivered financing (i.e. loans) and deposit growth of 15% and 12% y-y, respectively, in 4Q24. This brings LFR to 80% in 2024 (up from 77% in 2023). Still, this is one of the lowest amongst major banks. The bank’s capital ratio remained elevated at 21% as of end-4Q24. Asset quality was strong as well with NPL at 2.0% (down 20bp y-y) and coverage at ~2x in 4Q24.

Factoring in the strong FY24 results, we raise FY25-26F earnings by 1-2%. We also add a new forecast year, FY27F. We maintain our Buy rating and TP of IDR3,800.

Valuation and Risks

We derive our TP of IDR3,800 using DuPont methodology, with key parameters as follows: a risk-free rate of 6.5%, an equity risk premium of 7.8%, beta of 1.2x and a CAR-adjusted ROAE of 18.1%. We have also used 2025F book value in deriving our TP. Our TP implies a FY25F P/B of 3.4x and a FY25F P/E of 21.5x. Risks are worsening macroeconomic trends, unfavorable regulatory changes, tighter liquidity competition that could increase funding costs, worsening credit quality that could raise credit costs, material management changes, and/or persistently high opex.

Risks that may impede the achievement of the target priceDownside risks are worsening macroeconomic trends, unfavorable regulatory changes, tighter liquidity competition that could increase funding costs, worsening credit quality that could raise credit costs, material management changes, and/or persistently high opex.

ESGPT Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) is committed to implementing the sharia banking principles. The essence of the presence of sharia banking is to carry out sharia goals or Maqasid Ash Syariah, consisting of Hifdz Diin (upholding religion), Hifdz Nafs (nurturing the soul), Hifdz Aql (nurturing logic), Hifdz Nasb (raising offspring), and Hifdz Maal (maintaining wealth). This sharia principle aligns with our commitment in realizing the sustainability context and creating a synergy between growing the Bank’s business and supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The sustainability strategy of BSI is manifested through the making and implementation of Sustainable Finance Action Plan (RAKB). RAKB is prepared by adhering to the Financial Services Authority (POJK) Regulation Number 51/POJK.03/2017 with the priority scale on the aspects of policy adjustments and governance, sustainable finance products and services development, as well as the Bank’s internal capacity building. The sustainable finance strategy focuses on three pillars, which are business refocusing, fixing the fundamental, and strengthen enablers. RAKB also serves as a guideline for all Bank’s work units to control risks, mainly the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk.
