Bank Central Asia BBCA IJ - Buy - Solid YTD Jul-24 results
BBCA’s bank-only Jul-24 earnings of IDR4.9tr (+1% m-m / +17% y-y) brings YTD Jul-24 headline profit to
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.
