SAMPATH BANK PLC

Corporate profile

Sampath Bank Plc (SAMP) is a registered licensed commercial bank under

the purview of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka and being regulated under

the Banking Act No 3 of 1988 SAMP is currently the 3rd

largest private

sector commercial bank with an asset base of LKR2024bn as at end of

March 2010 and 188 branches supported by a staff force of 2688 (as per

the 2010 annual report)

SAMP has its presence over a vast geographical area including north and

east which reflects its continued focus on both corporate clients and

retail customers

The bank has pioneered in many technological and new product

advancements over the years including introduction of ATM technology

to Sri Lanka being the first bank to introduce credit cards to Sri Lanka in

1989 etc

The SAMP group comprises of 5 subsidiaries namely the bank which

contributes to 94 of pretax profits Sampath Leasing and Factoring SC

Securities (Pvt) Ltd Sampath Information Technology Solutions Ltd and

Sampath Centre Ltd- the property development arm

Banking Sector

As per the Central Bank annual report 2010 there are 22 commercial

banks in the country with a network of 1932 branches 965 extension

offices and 2977 other banking outlets Commercial bankrsquos can be

further categorized as public sector banks private sector banks and

foreign banks

As at the end of 2010 total assets of LCBrsquos stood at LKR 2969 trillion an

increase of 185 compared with a 108 previous year In addition the

2 state owned commercial banks Bank of Ceylon and Peoples Bank

account for a circa 50 of the sector asset base The sector is getting

more attractive with recent changes in regulatory measures The

corporate tax rate has reduced from 35 to 28 Whereas VAT on

financial services has reduced from 20 to 12 In addition the new low

interest rate regime emphasized by the Central Bank would drive the loan

growth in the sector However as oppose to lower rates being paid on

deposits more funds would flow in to the system as a result of previously war affected areas getting banked Further enhancing the

attractiveness of the banking industry the Central Bank is focusing on

raising a mandatory deposit insurance scheme The purpose of the

scheme is to build up a fund which can be utilized to compensate

depositors in a crisis situation hence all these would result in delivering

confidence to the investors

Interim Results- 31st March 2011

Interest income

In 1QFY11 the overall interest income has shown a 2 QoQ improvement

whilst a minute 03 dip was seen YoY The dip of 03 is a combination of

143 YoY improvement in interest income on loans and advances and

426 YoY dip in interest income on other interest earning assets The

considerable dip in interest on other interest earning assets is

due to long prevailed lower yields recorded in government

securities and a similar movement was also evident

throughout the sector In order to mitigate the impact from

lower yield the bank has kept on reducing its exposure

towards government securities (during the period

31122010-3132011 3 months T- Bill rate has come down

from 724 to 698) Therefore the reduction is 34 from

the investment trading account and 285 from the

investments held to maturity yet the regulatory minimum

levels are accomplished

However the elevated loans and advances by 138 during the period has

assisted in boosting the interest income on loans and advances by 143

YoY and 4 QoQ amidst the prevailing low interest rate environment

Interest expenses

The interest expenses for 1QFY10 have shown an increase of 44 YoY and

a 10 QoQ though the interest rates were relatively low This is due to a

34 YoYand 10 QoQ increase in interest paid on deposits while interest

paid on other interest bearing liabilities have elevated by 127 YoY and

QoQ

Particularly interest paid on deposits has increased due to accelerated

deposits by 79 over the 3 months period and a shift in the deposit mix

towards more expensive longer term deposits During the period less

expensive demand deposits have narrowed to LKR129bn from a previous

level of LKR136bn which is a dip of 47 and expensive time deposits have

grown by 125 Particularly this has been the companyrsquos strategy towards

generating more deposits in a low interest environment and mobilizing

them to grant more loans where the credit demand is high

Apart from that during the period borrowings have increased by more than26 where a considerable portion coming from banks and financial

institutions in Sri Lanka

Net interest income

Net interest income for the 1QFY11 has dipped by 56 YoY and 6 QoQ

due to decreased income on other interest earning assets (inclusive of

government securities) and increase in overall interest expenses

Non Interest income

During 1QFY11 the bank has recorded a 469 YoY improvement in noninterest income While the same income compared with the previous

quarter it is a dip of a massive 53 However the dip of 53 QoQ is due to

the decline in income generated through other sources including

investments and fee based income As a result the significance of non

interest income in operating income has come down in 1QFY2011 to 32 as

oppose to a previous level of 49 (4QFY10)

Net income Operating income

The net interest income is a 66 increase on a YoY basis despite a dip of

18 QoQ due to the contraction in both net interest income and

noninterest income

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses have increased by 255 YoY and 10 QoQ The

increase is a result of the organic growth strategies of the bank In this

regard new branch openings and new recruitments accompanied by recent

wage hike have increased personnel costs and premises and establishment

expenses by 146 and 289 YoY respectively

Provision for bad and doubtful debts and loans written off

The loan loss provisions have shown a reversal during the period on the

back of dip in allocations for specific provision by 74 (QoQ) and

improvement in recoveries by more than 100 (QoQ)

VAT on financial services and corporate tax

VAT on financial services and Corporate tax have shown a clear dip of more

than 30 YoY and 88 YoY respectively owing to the rate change from 20

to 12 on VAT on financial services and 35 to 28 on corporate taxes

Net profit

The profit attributable to equity holders of SAMP is an improvement of

638 YoY But at the same time compared with the previous quarter it is a

decline of 27 However apart from the loan book growth and

strengthened deposit base the net profit has improved YoY on the back of

accelerated non interest income reversal of provisions and overall tax

reductions

Asset Quality

The asset mix has historically been dominated by loans and advances which

accounts f or 66 of the bankrsquos assets as at 31st

December 2010 Liquid

assets in the form of cash and investment securities have made up 24 of

its asset base as at the same date and going forward we expect the bankrsquos

asset base to reflect its historical composition as SAMP expands its loan

base in light of the improving macroeconomic environment

Therefore as a consequence of more weight given to loans and advances

within the asset mix the quality of the bankrsquos assets is highly dependent on

the quality of the loan portfolio

In addition the loan portfolio of SAMP is more diversified covering all the

credit demanding sectors whilst putting more weight on Pawning (21 of

the overall loans) Trading (16) Manufacturing (154) Agriculture and

Fishing (10) Particularly in FY2010 the non performing loans and

advances as a percentage of total gross loans and advances have come

862019 SAMPATH BANK PLC- review1Q 2011

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsampath-bank-plc-review1q-2011 713

SAMPATH BANK PLC

down to 45 as opposed to a previous level of 86 and during the 1QFY11

this has further come down to 41 depicting an improvement in the asset

quality Consequently the improvement in the ratio can be attributable to

the awakening economic activities bankrsquos stringent loan policies and

putting more emphasis on Pawning which is a loan backed by gold

collateral However during the 3 months period the non performing loansand advances show a 33 due to a loan growth of 138 and a revision of

regulations in categorizing the non performing loans

Furthermore SAMPrsquos provisioning is deemed strong as the bankrsquos gross NPL

coverage is 795 in FY2010 which has improved from a lower base of

499 in FY2009

Finally the provision for decline in value of investments has shown a

reversal over the 3 months period indicating an improvement of the quality

of investment securities

Funding and Liquidity

SAMPrsquos funding and liquidity positions are adequate backed by a funding

base that is dominated by low cost deposits and shareholdersrsquo funds

Bankrsquos funding base is dominated by deposits which account for 82 of its

total funding as at end 1Q2011 (end 4Q2010 83) this was followed by

shareholders funds (9) and borrowings (9) Also during the 1QFY2011

the banks deposit base expanded 79 to LKR1622 bn irrespective of lower

rates offered by the overall banking sector

The deposit base is comprised of 46 short term deposits (including

demand deposits and savings deposits) and 54 long term deposits (term deposits) Even though the long term deposits deemed to be expensive the

bank has continued with expanding long term deposits Consequently the

time deposit growth for 1QFY2011 is 125 However bankrsquos underlying

strategy had been collecting more deposits in a competitive market and

mobilizing them to enhance loan volume despite compressed margins

Moreover the bankrsquos loan to deposit ratio is 86 as at end 1QFY2011

compared with a ratio of 82 at the end of FY2010 thus an indication of

bankrsquos active lending and condensed liquidity position

Nevertheless Bank is maintaining its liquidity above the regulatory levels

where the liquid assets are in the form of government securities balance

with the Central Bank and cash and short term funds

However during the period the bank has reduced its exposure to

government securities due to lower yields hence liquidity has come down

to 2320 from a previous level of 2629 in 4QFY2010 yet satisfying the

regulatory minimum of 20

Capital Adequacy

SAMPrsquos capital adequacy is deemed strong given the Core capital and Total

capital adequacy ratios stands at 951 (minimum 5) and 1141

(minimum 10) respectively However the current levels are below the

previous ratios of Core capital 1071 and Total capital 1291 which is

due to the bankrsquos expansion strategies including an impressive loan growth

of 138 over the 1Q2011

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

economies of scale

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

understanding of these multiple risks

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

31st

March 2011 is 364 and improvement from a previous level of 395

as at 31st

December 2010)

Market risk management- this is the risk that can incur through movementsin equity and interest rate markets currency exchange rates and

commodity prices However the committees are placed in handling these

risks via planning the optimum mix of assets and liabilities stipulating the

liquidity gap position and formulating benchmark lending rates etc

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

deposits and investment portfolios

Reputational risk management

Reputational risks arise due to the negative effect of public opinion which

can cause damage to the brand image The bank has mitigated this by

implementing a customer grievance handling policy

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector

further categorized as public sector banks private sector banks and

foreign banks

increase of 185 compared with a 108 previous year In addition the

2 state owned commercial banks Bank of Ceylon and Peoples Bank

account for a circa 50 of the sector asset base The sector is getting

more attractive with recent changes in regulatory measures The

corporate tax rate has reduced from 35 to 28 Whereas VAT on

financial services has reduced from 20 to 12 In addition the new low

interest rate regime emphasized by the Central Bank would drive the loan

growth in the sector However as oppose to lower rates being paid on

deposits more funds would flow in to the system as a result of previously war affected areas getting banked Further enhancing the

attractiveness of the banking industry the Central Bank is focusing on

raising a mandatory deposit insurance scheme The purpose of the

scheme is to build up a fund which can be utilized to compensate

depositors in a crisis situation hence all these would result in delivering

confidence to the investors

Interim Results- 31st March 2011

Interest income

In 1QFY11 the overall interest income has shown a 2 QoQ improvement

whilst a minute 03 dip was seen YoY The dip of 03 is a combination of

143 YoY improvement in interest income on loans and advances and

426 YoY dip in interest income on other interest earning assets The

considerable dip in interest on other interest earning assets is

due to long prevailed lower yields recorded in government

securities and a similar movement was also evident

throughout the sector In order to mitigate the impact from

lower yield the bank has kept on reducing its exposure

towards government securities (during the period

31122010-3132011 3 months T- Bill rate has come down

from 724 to 698) Therefore the reduction is 34 from

the investment trading account and 285 from the

investments held to maturity yet the regulatory minimum

levels are accomplished

However the elevated loans and advances by 138 during the period has

assisted in boosting the interest income on loans and advances by 143

YoY and 4 QoQ amidst the prevailing low interest rate environment

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Interest expenses

The interest expenses for 1QFY10 have shown an increase of 44 YoY and

a 10 QoQ though the interest rates were relatively low This is due to a

34 YoYand 10 QoQ increase in interest paid on deposits while interest

paid on other interest bearing liabilities have elevated by 127 YoY and

QoQ

Particularly interest paid on deposits has increased due to accelerated

deposits by 79 over the 3 months period and a shift in the deposit mix

towards more expensive longer term deposits During the period less

expensive demand deposits have narrowed to LKR129bn from a previous

level of LKR136bn which is a dip of 47 and expensive time deposits have

grown by 125 Particularly this has been the companyrsquos strategy towards

generating more deposits in a low interest environment and mobilizing

them to grant more loans where the credit demand is high

Apart from that during the period borrowings have increased by more than26 where a considerable portion coming from banks and financial

institutions in Sri Lanka

Net interest income

Net interest income for the 1QFY11 has dipped by 56 YoY and 6 QoQ

due to decreased income on other interest earning assets (inclusive of

government securities) and increase in overall interest expenses

Non Interest income

During 1QFY11 the bank has recorded a 469 YoY improvement in noninterest income While the same income compared with the previous

quarter it is a dip of a massive 53 However the dip of 53 QoQ is due to

the decline in income generated through other sources including

investments and fee based income As a result the significance of non

interest income in operating income has come down in 1QFY2011 to 32 as

oppose to a previous level of 49 (4QFY10)

Net income Operating income

The net interest income is a 66 increase on a YoY basis despite a dip of

18 QoQ due to the contraction in both net interest income and

noninterest income

Noninterest expenses

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsampath-bank-plc-review1q-2011 613

Page 5

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses have increased by 255 YoY and 10 QoQ The

increase is a result of the organic growth strategies of the bank In this

regard new branch openings and new recruitments accompanied by recent

wage hike have increased personnel costs and premises and establishment

expenses by 146 and 289 YoY respectively

Provision for bad and doubtful debts and loans written off

The loan loss provisions have shown a reversal during the period on the

back of dip in allocations for specific provision by 74 (QoQ) and

improvement in recoveries by more than 100 (QoQ)

VAT on financial services and corporate tax

VAT on financial services and Corporate tax have shown a clear dip of more

than 30 YoY and 88 YoY respectively owing to the rate change from 20

to 12 on VAT on financial services and 35 to 28 on corporate taxes

Net profit

The profit attributable to equity holders of SAMP is an improvement of

638 YoY But at the same time compared with the previous quarter it is a

decline of 27 However apart from the loan book growth and

strengthened deposit base the net profit has improved YoY on the back of

accelerated non interest income reversal of provisions and overall tax

reductions

Asset Quality

The asset mix has historically been dominated by loans and advances which

accounts f or 66 of the bankrsquos assets as at 31st

December 2010 Liquid

assets in the form of cash and investment securities have made up 24 of

its asset base as at the same date and going forward we expect the bankrsquos

asset base to reflect its historical composition as SAMP expands its loan

base in light of the improving macroeconomic environment

Therefore as a consequence of more weight given to loans and advances

within the asset mix the quality of the bankrsquos assets is highly dependent on

the quality of the loan portfolio

In addition the loan portfolio of SAMP is more diversified covering all the

credit demanding sectors whilst putting more weight on Pawning (21 of

the overall loans) Trading (16) Manufacturing (154) Agriculture and

Fishing (10) Particularly in FY2010 the non performing loans and

advances as a percentage of total gross loans and advances have come

862019 SAMPATH BANK PLC- review1Q 2011

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsampath-bank-plc-review1q-2011 713

Page 6

SAMPATH BANK PLC

down to 45 as opposed to a previous level of 86 and during the 1QFY11

this has further come down to 41 depicting an improvement in the asset

quality Consequently the improvement in the ratio can be attributable to

the awakening economic activities bankrsquos stringent loan policies and

putting more emphasis on Pawning which is a loan backed by gold

collateral However during the 3 months period the non performing loansand advances show a 33 due to a loan growth of 138 and a revision of

regulations in categorizing the non performing loans

Furthermore SAMPrsquos provisioning is deemed strong as the bankrsquos gross NPL

coverage is 795 in FY2010 which has improved from a lower base of

499 in FY2009

Finally the provision for decline in value of investments has shown a

reversal over the 3 months period indicating an improvement of the quality

of investment securities

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Funding and Liquidity

SAMPrsquos funding and liquidity positions are adequate backed by a funding

base that is dominated by low cost deposits and shareholdersrsquo funds

Bankrsquos funding base is dominated by deposits which account for 82 of its

total funding as at end 1Q2011 (end 4Q2010 83) this was followed by

shareholders funds (9) and borrowings (9) Also during the 1QFY2011

the banks deposit base expanded 79 to LKR1622 bn irrespective of lower

rates offered by the overall banking sector

The deposit base is comprised of 46 short term deposits (including

demand deposits and savings deposits) and 54 long term deposits (term deposits) Even though the long term deposits deemed to be expensive the

bank has continued with expanding long term deposits Consequently the

time deposit growth for 1QFY2011 is 125 However bankrsquos underlying

strategy had been collecting more deposits in a competitive market and

mobilizing them to enhance loan volume despite compressed margins

Moreover the bankrsquos loan to deposit ratio is 86 as at end 1QFY2011

compared with a ratio of 82 at the end of FY2010 thus an indication of

bankrsquos active lending and condensed liquidity position

Nevertheless Bank is maintaining its liquidity above the regulatory levels

where the liquid assets are in the form of government securities balance

with the Central Bank and cash and short term funds

However during the period the bank has reduced its exposure to

government securities due to lower yields hence liquidity has come down

to 2320 from a previous level of 2629 in 4QFY2010 yet satisfying the

regulatory minimum of 20

Capital Adequacy

SAMPrsquos capital adequacy is deemed strong given the Core capital and Total

capital adequacy ratios stands at 951 (minimum 5) and 1141

(minimum 10) respectively However the current levels are below the

previous ratios of Core capital 1071 and Total capital 1291 which is

due to the bankrsquos expansion strategies including an impressive loan growth

of 138 over the 1Q2011

862019 SAMPATH BANK PLC- review1Q 2011

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsampath-bank-plc-review1q-2011 1013

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

economies of scale

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

understanding of these multiple risks

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

31st

March 2011 is 364 and improvement from a previous level of 395

as at 31st

December 2010)

Market risk management- this is the risk that can incur through movementsin equity and interest rate markets currency exchange rates and

commodity prices However the committees are placed in handling these

risks via planning the optimum mix of assets and liabilities stipulating the

liquidity gap position and formulating benchmark lending rates etc

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

deposits and investment portfolios

Reputational risk management

Reputational risks arise due to the negative effect of public opinion which

can cause damage to the brand image The bank has mitigated this by

implementing a customer grievance handling policy

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector

Interim Results- 31st March 2011

Interest income

In 1QFY11 the overall interest income has shown a 2 QoQ improvement

whilst a minute 03 dip was seen YoY The dip of 03 is a combination of

143 YoY improvement in interest income on loans and advances and

426 YoY dip in interest income on other interest earning assets The

considerable dip in interest on other interest earning assets is

due to long prevailed lower yields recorded in government

securities and a similar movement was also evident

lower yield the bank has kept on reducing its exposure

towards government securities (during the period

31122010-3132011 3 months T- Bill rate has come down

Interest expenses

The interest expenses for 1QFY10 have shown an increase of 44 YoY and

a 10 QoQ though the interest rates were relatively low This is due to a

34 YoYand 10 QoQ increase in interest paid on deposits while interest

paid on other interest bearing liabilities have elevated by 127 YoY and

QoQ

Particularly interest paid on deposits has increased due to accelerated

deposits by 79 over the 3 months period and a shift in the deposit mix

towards more expensive longer term deposits During the period less

expensive demand deposits have narrowed to LKR129bn from a previous

level of LKR136bn which is a dip of 47 and expensive time deposits have

grown by 125 Particularly this has been the companyrsquos strategy towards

generating more deposits in a low interest environment and mobilizing

them to grant more loans where the credit demand is high

Apart from that during the period borrowings have increased by more than26 where a considerable portion coming from banks and financial

institutions in Sri Lanka

Net interest income

Net interest income for the 1QFY11 has dipped by 56 YoY and 6 QoQ

Non Interest income

During 1QFY11 the bank has recorded a 469 YoY improvement in noninterest income While the same income compared with the previous

quarter it is a dip of a massive 53 However the dip of 53 QoQ is due to

the decline in income generated through other sources including

investments and fee based income As a result the significance of non

interest income in operating income has come down in 1QFY2011 to 32 as

oppose to a previous level of 49 (4QFY10)

Net income Operating income

The net interest income is a 66 increase on a YoY basis despite a dip of

18 QoQ due to the contraction in both net interest income and

noninterest income

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses have increased by 255 YoY and 10 QoQ The

increase is a result of the organic growth strategies of the bank In this

regard new branch openings and new recruitments accompanied by recent

wage hike have increased personnel costs and premises and establishment

expenses by 146 and 289 YoY respectively

Provision for bad and doubtful debts and loans written off

The loan loss provisions have shown a reversal during the period on the

back of dip in allocations for specific provision by 74 (QoQ) and

improvement in recoveries by more than 100 (QoQ)

VAT on financial services and corporate tax

VAT on financial services and Corporate tax have shown a clear dip of more

than 30 YoY and 88 YoY respectively owing to the rate change from 20

to 12 on VAT on financial services and 35 to 28 on corporate taxes

Net profit

The profit attributable to equity holders of SAMP is an improvement of

638 YoY But at the same time compared with the previous quarter it is a

decline of 27 However apart from the loan book growth and

strengthened deposit base the net profit has improved YoY on the back of

accelerated non interest income reversal of provisions and overall tax

reductions

Asset Quality

The asset mix has historically been dominated by loans and advances which

accounts f or 66 of the bankrsquos assets as at 31st

assets in the form of cash and investment securities have made up 24 of

its asset base as at the same date and going forward we expect the bankrsquos

asset base to reflect its historical composition as SAMP expands its loan

base in light of the improving macroeconomic environment

Therefore as a consequence of more weight given to loans and advances

within the asset mix the quality of the bankrsquos assets is highly dependent on

the quality of the loan portfolio

In addition the loan portfolio of SAMP is more diversified covering all the

credit demanding sectors whilst putting more weight on Pawning (21 of

the overall loans) Trading (16) Manufacturing (154) Agriculture and

Fishing (10) Particularly in FY2010 the non performing loans and

advances as a percentage of total gross loans and advances have come

down to 45 as opposed to a previous level of 86 and during the 1QFY11

this has further come down to 41 depicting an improvement in the asset

quality Consequently the improvement in the ratio can be attributable to

the awakening economic activities bankrsquos stringent loan policies and

putting more emphasis on Pawning which is a loan backed by gold

collateral However during the 3 months period the non performing loansand advances show a 33 due to a loan growth of 138 and a revision of

regulations in categorizing the non performing loans

Furthermore SAMPrsquos provisioning is deemed strong as the bankrsquos gross NPL

coverage is 795 in FY2010 which has improved from a lower base of

499 in FY2009

Finally the provision for decline in value of investments has shown a

reversal over the 3 months period indicating an improvement of the quality

Funding and Liquidity

SAMPrsquos funding and liquidity positions are adequate backed by a funding

base that is dominated by low cost deposits and shareholdersrsquo funds

Bankrsquos funding base is dominated by deposits which account for 82 of its

total funding as at end 1Q2011 (end 4Q2010 83) this was followed by

shareholders funds (9) and borrowings (9) Also during the 1QFY2011

the banks deposit base expanded 79 to LKR1622 bn irrespective of lower

rates offered by the overall banking sector

The deposit base is comprised of 46 short term deposits (including

demand deposits and savings deposits) and 54 long term deposits (term deposits) Even though the long term deposits deemed to be expensive the

bank has continued with expanding long term deposits Consequently the

time deposit growth for 1QFY2011 is 125 However bankrsquos underlying

strategy had been collecting more deposits in a competitive market and

mobilizing them to enhance loan volume despite compressed margins

Moreover the bankrsquos loan to deposit ratio is 86 as at end 1QFY2011

compared with a ratio of 82 at the end of FY2010 thus an indication of

bankrsquos active lending and condensed liquidity position

Nevertheless Bank is maintaining its liquidity above the regulatory levels

where the liquid assets are in the form of government securities balance

with the Central Bank and cash and short term funds

However during the period the bank has reduced its exposure to

government securities due to lower yields hence liquidity has come down

to 2320 from a previous level of 2629 in 4QFY2010 yet satisfying the

regulatory minimum of 20

Capital Adequacy

SAMPrsquos capital adequacy is deemed strong given the Core capital and Total

capital adequacy ratios stands at 951 (minimum 5) and 1141

(minimum 10) respectively However the current levels are below the

previous ratios of Core capital 1071 and Total capital 1291 which is

due to the bankrsquos expansion strategies including an impressive loan growth

of 138 over the 1Q2011

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

economies of scale

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

understanding of these multiple risks

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

31st

March 2011 is 364 and improvement from a previous level of 395

as at 31st

December 2010)

Market risk management- this is the risk that can incur through movementsin equity and interest rate markets currency exchange rates and

commodity prices However the committees are placed in handling these

risks via planning the optimum mix of assets and liabilities stipulating the

liquidity gap position and formulating benchmark lending rates etc

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

deposits and investment portfolios

Reputational risk management

Reputational risks arise due to the negative effect of public opinion which

can cause damage to the brand image The bank has mitigated this by

implementing a customer grievance handling policy

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector

Interim Results- 31st March 2011

Interest income

In 1QFY11 the overall interest income has shown a 2 QoQ improvement

whilst a minute 03 dip was seen YoY The dip of 03 is a combination of

143 YoY improvement in interest income on loans and advances and

426 YoY dip in interest income on other interest earning assets The

considerable dip in interest on other interest earning assets is

due to long prevailed lower yields recorded in government

securities and a similar movement was also evident

throughout the sector In order to mitigate the impact from

lower yield the bank has kept on reducing its exposure

towards government securities (during the period

31122010-3132011 3 months T- Bill rate has come down

from 724 to 698) Therefore the reduction is 34 from

the investment trading account and 285 from the

investments held to maturity yet the regulatory minimum

levels are accomplished

However the elevated loans and advances by 138 during the period has

assisted in boosting the interest income on loans and advances by 143

YoY and 4 QoQ amidst the prevailing low interest rate environment

Interest expenses

The interest expenses for 1QFY10 have shown an increase of 44 YoY and

a 10 QoQ though the interest rates were relatively low This is due to a

34 YoYand 10 QoQ increase in interest paid on deposits while interest

paid on other interest bearing liabilities have elevated by 127 YoY and

QoQ

Particularly interest paid on deposits has increased due to accelerated

deposits by 79 over the 3 months period and a shift in the deposit mix

towards more expensive longer term deposits During the period less

expensive demand deposits have narrowed to LKR129bn from a previous

level of LKR136bn which is a dip of 47 and expensive time deposits have

grown by 125 Particularly this has been the companyrsquos strategy towards

generating more deposits in a low interest environment and mobilizing

them to grant more loans where the credit demand is high

Apart from that during the period borrowings have increased by more than26 where a considerable portion coming from banks and financial

institutions in Sri Lanka

Net interest income

Net interest income for the 1QFY11 has dipped by 56 YoY and 6 QoQ

due to decreased income on other interest earning assets (inclusive of

government securities) and increase in overall interest expenses

Non Interest income

During 1QFY11 the bank has recorded a 469 YoY improvement in noninterest income While the same income compared with the previous

quarter it is a dip of a massive 53 However the dip of 53 QoQ is due to

the decline in income generated through other sources including

investments and fee based income As a result the significance of non

interest income in operating income has come down in 1QFY2011 to 32 as

oppose to a previous level of 49 (4QFY10)

Net income Operating income

The net interest income is a 66 increase on a YoY basis despite a dip of

18 QoQ due to the contraction in both net interest income and

noninterest income

improvement in recoveries by more than 100 (QoQ)

VAT on financial services and corporate tax

VAT on financial services and Corporate tax have shown a clear dip of more

than 30 YoY and 88 YoY respectively owing to the rate change from 20

to 12 on VAT on financial services and 35 to 28 on corporate taxes

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

understanding of these multiple risks

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

31st

March 2011 is 364 and improvement from a previous level of 395

as at 31st

December 2010)

Market risk management- this is the risk that can incur through movementsin equity and interest rate markets currency exchange rates and

commodity prices However the committees are placed in handling these

risks via planning the optimum mix of assets and liabilities stipulating the

liquidity gap position and formulating benchmark lending rates etc

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

deposits and investment portfolios

Reputational risk management

Reputational risks arise due to the negative effect of public opinion which

can cause damage to the brand image The bank has mitigated this by

implementing a customer grievance handling policy

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector

Interest expenses

The interest expenses for 1QFY10 have shown an increase of 44 YoY and

a 10 QoQ though the interest rates were relatively low This is due to a

34 YoYand 10 QoQ increase in interest paid on deposits while interest

paid on other interest bearing liabilities have elevated by 127 YoY and

QoQ

Particularly interest paid on deposits has increased due to accelerated

deposits by 79 over the 3 months period and a shift in the deposit mix

towards more expensive longer term deposits During the period less

expensive demand deposits have narrowed to LKR129bn from a previous

level of LKR136bn which is a dip of 47 and expensive time deposits have

grown by 125 Particularly this has been the companyrsquos strategy towards

generating more deposits in a low interest environment and mobilizing

them to grant more loans where the credit demand is high

Apart from that during the period borrowings have increased by more than26 where a considerable portion coming from banks and financial

institutions in Sri Lanka

Net interest income

Net interest income for the 1QFY11 has dipped by 56 YoY and 6 QoQ

due to decreased income on other interest earning assets (inclusive of

government securities) and increase in overall interest expenses

Non Interest income

During 1QFY11 the bank has recorded a 469 YoY improvement in noninterest income While the same income compared with the previous

quarter it is a dip of a massive 53 However the dip of 53 QoQ is due to

the decline in income generated through other sources including

investments and fee based income As a result the significance of non

interest income in operating income has come down in 1QFY2011 to 32 as

oppose to a previous level of 49 (4QFY10)

Net income Operating income

The net interest income is a 66 increase on a YoY basis despite a dip of

18 QoQ due to the contraction in both net interest income and

noninterest income

Noninterest expenses

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses have increased by 255 YoY and 10 QoQ The

increase is a result of the organic growth strategies of the bank In this

regard new branch openings and new recruitments accompanied by recent

wage hike have increased personnel costs and premises and establishment

expenses by 146 and 289 YoY respectively

Provision for bad and doubtful debts and loans written off

The loan loss provisions have shown a reversal during the period on the

back of dip in allocations for specific provision by 74 (QoQ) and

improvement in recoveries by more than 100 (QoQ)

VAT on financial services and corporate tax

VAT on financial services and Corporate tax have shown a clear dip of more

than 30 YoY and 88 YoY respectively owing to the rate change from 20

to 12 on VAT on financial services and 35 to 28 on corporate taxes

Net profit

The profit attributable to equity holders of SAMP is an improvement of

638 YoY But at the same time compared with the previous quarter it is a

decline of 27 However apart from the loan book growth and

strengthened deposit base the net profit has improved YoY on the back of

accelerated non interest income reversal of provisions and overall tax

reductions

Asset Quality

The asset mix has historically been dominated by loans and advances which

accounts f or 66 of the bankrsquos assets as at 31st

December 2010 Liquid

assets in the form of cash and investment securities have made up 24 of

its asset base as at the same date and going forward we expect the bankrsquos

asset base to reflect its historical composition as SAMP expands its loan

base in light of the improving macroeconomic environment

Therefore as a consequence of more weight given to loans and advances

within the asset mix the quality of the bankrsquos assets is highly dependent on

the quality of the loan portfolio

In addition the loan portfolio of SAMP is more diversified covering all the

credit demanding sectors whilst putting more weight on Pawning (21 of

the overall loans) Trading (16) Manufacturing (154) Agriculture and

Fishing (10) Particularly in FY2010 the non performing loans and

advances as a percentage of total gross loans and advances have come

862019 SAMPATH BANK PLC- review1Q 2011

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsampath-bank-plc-review1q-2011 713

Page 6

SAMPATH BANK PLC

down to 45 as opposed to a previous level of 86 and during the 1QFY11

this has further come down to 41 depicting an improvement in the asset

quality Consequently the improvement in the ratio can be attributable to

the awakening economic activities bankrsquos stringent loan policies and

putting more emphasis on Pawning which is a loan backed by gold

collateral However during the 3 months period the non performing loansand advances show a 33 due to a loan growth of 138 and a revision of

regulations in categorizing the non performing loans

Furthermore SAMPrsquos provisioning is deemed strong as the bankrsquos gross NPL

coverage is 795 in FY2010 which has improved from a lower base of

499 in FY2009

Finally the provision for decline in value of investments has shown a

reversal over the 3 months period indicating an improvement of the quality

of investment securities

Funding and Liquidity

SAMPrsquos funding and liquidity positions are adequate backed by a funding

base that is dominated by low cost deposits and shareholdersrsquo funds

Bankrsquos funding base is dominated by deposits which account for 82 of its

total funding as at end 1Q2011 (end 4Q2010 83) this was followed by

shareholders funds (9) and borrowings (9) Also during the 1QFY2011

the banks deposit base expanded 79 to LKR1622 bn irrespective of lower

rates offered by the overall banking sector

The deposit base is comprised of 46 short term deposits (including

demand deposits and savings deposits) and 54 long term deposits (term deposits) Even though the long term deposits deemed to be expensive the

bank has continued with expanding long term deposits Consequently the

time deposit growth for 1QFY2011 is 125 However bankrsquos underlying

strategy had been collecting more deposits in a competitive market and

mobilizing them to enhance loan volume despite compressed margins

Moreover the bankrsquos loan to deposit ratio is 86 as at end 1QFY2011

compared with a ratio of 82 at the end of FY2010 thus an indication of

bankrsquos active lending and condensed liquidity position

Nevertheless Bank is maintaining its liquidity above the regulatory levels

where the liquid assets are in the form of government securities balance

with the Central Bank and cash and short term funds

However during the period the bank has reduced its exposure to

government securities due to lower yields hence liquidity has come down

to 2320 from a previous level of 2629 in 4QFY2010 yet satisfying the

regulatory minimum of 20

Capital Adequacy

SAMPrsquos capital adequacy is deemed strong given the Core capital and Total

capital adequacy ratios stands at 951 (minimum 5) and 1141

(minimum 10) respectively However the current levels are below the

previous ratios of Core capital 1071 and Total capital 1291 which is

due to the bankrsquos expansion strategies including an impressive loan growth

of 138 over the 1Q2011

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

economies of scale

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses have increased by 255 YoY and 10 QoQ The

increase is a result of the organic growth strategies of the bank In this

regard new branch openings and new recruitments accompanied by recent

wage hike have increased personnel costs and premises and establishment

expenses by 146 and 289 YoY respectively

Provision for bad and doubtful debts and loans written off

The loan loss provisions have shown a reversal during the period on the

back of dip in allocations for specific provision by 74 (QoQ) and

improvement in recoveries by more than 100 (QoQ)

VAT on financial services and corporate tax

VAT on financial services and Corporate tax have shown a clear dip of more

than 30 YoY and 88 YoY respectively owing to the rate change from 20

to 12 on VAT on financial services and 35 to 28 on corporate taxes

Net profit

The profit attributable to equity holders of SAMP is an improvement of

638 YoY But at the same time compared with the previous quarter it is a

decline of 27 However apart from the loan book growth and

strengthened deposit base the net profit has improved YoY on the back of

accelerated non interest income reversal of provisions and overall tax

reductions

Asset Quality

The asset mix has historically been dominated by loans and advances which

accounts f or 66 of the bankrsquos assets as at 31st

December 2010 Liquid

assets in the form of cash and investment securities have made up 24 of

its asset base as at the same date and going forward we expect the bankrsquos

asset base to reflect its historical composition as SAMP expands its loan

base in light of the improving macroeconomic environment

Therefore as a consequence of more weight given to loans and advances

within the asset mix the quality of the bankrsquos assets is highly dependent on

the quality of the loan portfolio

In addition the loan portfolio of SAMP is more diversified covering all the

credit demanding sectors whilst putting more weight on Pawning (21 of

the overall loans) Trading (16) Manufacturing (154) Agriculture and

Fishing (10) Particularly in FY2010 the non performing loans and

advances as a percentage of total gross loans and advances have come

down to 45 as opposed to a previous level of 86 and during the 1QFY11

this has further come down to 41 depicting an improvement in the asset

quality Consequently the improvement in the ratio can be attributable to

the awakening economic activities bankrsquos stringent loan policies and

putting more emphasis on Pawning which is a loan backed by gold

collateral However during the 3 months period the non performing loansand advances show a 33 due to a loan growth of 138 and a revision of

regulations in categorizing the non performing loans

Furthermore SAMPrsquos provisioning is deemed strong as the bankrsquos gross NPL

coverage is 795 in FY2010 which has improved from a lower base of

499 in FY2009

Finally the provision for decline in value of investments has shown a

reversal over the 3 months period indicating an improvement of the quality

of investment securities

Funding and Liquidity

SAMPrsquos funding and liquidity positions are adequate backed by a funding

base that is dominated by low cost deposits and shareholdersrsquo funds

Bankrsquos funding base is dominated by deposits which account for 82 of its

total funding as at end 1Q2011 (end 4Q2010 83) this was followed by

shareholders funds (9) and borrowings (9) Also during the 1QFY2011

the banks deposit base expanded 79 to LKR1622 bn irrespective of lower

rates offered by the overall banking sector

The deposit base is comprised of 46 short term deposits (including

demand deposits and savings deposits) and 54 long term deposits (term deposits) Even though the long term deposits deemed to be expensive the

bank has continued with expanding long term deposits Consequently the

time deposit growth for 1QFY2011 is 125 However bankrsquos underlying

strategy had been collecting more deposits in a competitive market and

mobilizing them to enhance loan volume despite compressed margins

Moreover the bankrsquos loan to deposit ratio is 86 as at end 1QFY2011

compared with a ratio of 82 at the end of FY2010 thus an indication of

bankrsquos active lending and condensed liquidity position

Nevertheless Bank is maintaining its liquidity above the regulatory levels

where the liquid assets are in the form of government securities balance

with the Central Bank and cash and short term funds

However during the period the bank has reduced its exposure to

government securities due to lower yields hence liquidity has come down

to 2320 from a previous level of 2629 in 4QFY2010 yet satisfying the

regulatory minimum of 20

capital adequacy ratios stands at 951 (minimum 5) and 1141

(minimum 10) respectively However the current levels are below the

previous ratios of Core capital 1071 and Total capital 1291 which is

due to the bankrsquos expansion strategies including an impressive loan growth

of 138 over the 1Q2011

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

Reputational risk management

Funding and Liquidity

SAMPrsquos funding and liquidity positions are adequate backed by a funding

base that is dominated by low cost deposits and shareholdersrsquo funds

Bankrsquos funding base is dominated by deposits which account for 82 of its

total funding as at end 1Q2011 (end 4Q2010 83) this was followed by

shareholders funds (9) and borrowings (9) Also during the 1QFY2011

the banks deposit base expanded 79 to LKR1622 bn irrespective of lower

rates offered by the overall banking sector

The deposit base is comprised of 46 short term deposits (including

demand deposits and savings deposits) and 54 long term deposits (term deposits) Even though the long term deposits deemed to be expensive the

bank has continued with expanding long term deposits Consequently the

time deposit growth for 1QFY2011 is 125 However bankrsquos underlying

strategy had been collecting more deposits in a competitive market and

mobilizing them to enhance loan volume despite compressed margins

Moreover the bankrsquos loan to deposit ratio is 86 as at end 1QFY2011

compared with a ratio of 82 at the end of FY2010 thus an indication of

bankrsquos active lending and condensed liquidity position

Nevertheless Bank is maintaining its liquidity above the regulatory levels

where the liquid assets are in the form of government securities balance

with the Central Bank and cash and short term funds

However during the period the bank has reduced its exposure to

government securities due to lower yields hence liquidity has come down

to 2320 from a previous level of 2629 in 4QFY2010 yet satisfying the

regulatory minimum of 20

Capital Adequacy

SAMPrsquos capital adequacy is deemed strong given the Core capital and Total

capital adequacy ratios stands at 951 (minimum 5) and 1141

(minimum 10) respectively However the current levels are below the

previous ratios of Core capital 1071 and Total capital 1291 which is

due to the bankrsquos expansion strategies including an impressive loan growth

of 138 over the 1Q2011

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

economies of scale

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

understanding of these multiple risks

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

31st

March 2011 is 364 and improvement from a previous level of 395

as at 31st

December 2010)

Market risk management- this is the risk that can incur through movementsin equity and interest rate markets currency exchange rates and

commodity prices However the committees are placed in handling these

risks via planning the optimum mix of assets and liabilities stipulating the

liquidity gap position and formulating benchmark lending rates etc

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

deposits and investment portfolios

Reputational risk management

Reputational risks arise due to the negative effect of public opinion which

can cause damage to the brand image The bank has mitigated this by

implementing a customer grievance handling policy

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Future Outlook

The economic developments taking place throughout the country

coupled with low interest rates have posed a continued demand

for credit Hence this is a good opportunity for the bank to further

expand its loan portfolio being benefited through the availability

of funding The current levels of capital adequacy ratios tier 1

95 (minimum is 5) total capital adequacy ratio 1141

(minimum is 10) are well above the regulatory minimums so

that the bank has adequate buffer to absorb more risk and expand

the loan book

Adding further the bankrsquos novel scrip dividend policy would further

strengthen the fund availability as a consequence of dividends getting

injected back to the company rather than being paid out from the bank

SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies in terms of branch expansions

and new product developments would yield favorable resultsgoing forward During the FY2010 the bank has established more

than 40 branches and this momentum would be further continued

with the objective of covering all the unbanked areas and fulfilling

all the banking needs of the nation However the expansion

strategies would expand the cost base where the current cost to

income ratio is 53 slightly above the sector This is due to the

fact that an average new branch taking 15- 2 years to break even

and during this period the bank is not generating adequate

revenues to curtail the expenditure base But once a new branch

reaches its breakeven level it would boost the overall income

levels bringing down the cost to income ratios to par with thesector

The Pawning segment of the bank comprise of 23 of the overall

loan portfolio as at 31st

December 2010 and during FY2010 total

loans granted under pawning has shown a massive growth of

535 YoY This segment has its ability to grow further Generally

pawning is favorable to a bank due to the loan being gold backed

hence generating no risk of nonperforming loan losses and thereby

improving asset quality while strengthening the bottom line due to

no allowances required

Apart from SAMPrsquos organic growth strategies the bank is also

laying plans for inorganic growth Accordingly these would enhance

the competitive position of the bank as while generating

economies of scale

Risk Management

The key risk categories of credit risk market risk liquidity risk operational

risk and reputation risk are common to every bank therefore in order to

mitigate these risks SAMP is adopting an integrated approach with a clear

understanding of these multiple risks

Credit risk is arising from the inability of a borrower or counter party to

meet their obligations in accordance with the agreed terms In this regard

in order to mitigate the credit risk SAMP has a well structured and

standardized credit approval process and a post credit monitoring

mechanism Consequently these stringent policies and practices have

resulted in improving the NPL ratios of the company (Gross NPL for as at

31st

March 2011 is 364 and improvement from a previous level of 395

as at 31st

December 2010)

Market risk management- this is the risk that can incur through movementsin equity and interest rate markets currency exchange rates and

commodity prices However the committees are placed in handling these

risks via planning the optimum mix of assets and liabilities stipulating the

liquidity gap position and formulating benchmark lending rates etc

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises due to unmatched maturities of assets and liabilities

These would deteriorate the bankrsquos ability to honor its commitment as and

when they fall due However SAMP manages these risks through their

deposits and investment portfolios

Reputational risk management

Reputational risks arise due to the negative effect of public opinion which

can cause damage to the brand image The bank has mitigated this by

implementing a customer grievance handling policy

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector

SAMPATH BANK PLC

Valuation

Share offers good value at 88x forecast 2011 net profit

For the FY2011E the profits are forecasted considering corporate tax

revisions (35 to 20) and the expected credit growth in the low interest

economy The earnings would approximate to LKR 49510 mn in FY2011

and LKR 53159 mn in FY2012

Having hit a low of LKR1402 in May 2010 SAMPrsquos share price has risen

strongly by 972 YTD Following this gain SAMP trades at 88X projected

FY11E net profit whilst on a PER of 82X for FY12E forecasted profit Based

on an analysis of a historic 52 week price movement we derived a price

movement of +-5001 on a mean of LKR24144 Hence the flux is

approximately +-21 Furthermore if it is assumed that the same upside

price movement is seen pushing the price to LKR33101 (from a current

level of LKR2800) the forward PE multiples would be 1045X for FY11E and

973X for FY12E

Furthermore when adjusting SAMPrsquos returns to its risk (deviation of the

share price) sharp ratio of the counter is at 217 whilst the Banking Finance

and Insurance sector is at 305 SAMPrsquos return volatility is much higher at

29 as opposed to the sectorrsquos deviation of 20 over the past 52 week

trading period Hence SAMP shows a marginal volatility in its return

compared with the sector
