BANKING SECTOR – 2020 UPDATE

© VCBS Research Department

Credit growth is slower than previous years but showing signs of

speeding again:

‐ Credit growth reach 7.93% as of November 24th and is expected to be

less than 10% for the whole 2020. This year credit growth is slower than

2019 level at 13.7%.

‐ 9M.2020: credit growth from corporate bonds contributed 25% of

growth and credit growth from large corporate customers contributed

about 60% of the growth.

SBV has loosened “room” for credit growth for many banks:

‐ With the purpose of stimulating credit growth to support economic

growth, SBV has loosened the credit growth room for banks that meet 2

factors: (1) financial health, (2) capability of growth.

‐ Banks are given higher rooms: TCB, HDB, VPB, TPB, VIB, MBB,…

Credit growth is expected to recover and reach about 11-12% in

2021: it’s more optimistic expectation in many banks compared to the

beginning of the year when the credit demand of individual customers is

increasing. Therefore, we expect credit growth to improve in Q4.2020

and the whole year 2021.

BANKING SECTOR – 2020 UPDATE

Retail credit was slower in 9M.2020, however, it is still the segment many banks

prioritize:

‐ Slow growth rate of retail loans was the main reason that lead to the low level of the

banking system credit growth. In more detail, retail credit is estimated to increase by

5.2% after 9M.2020 compared to the CAGR growth of 21.7% in the 2016-2019

period.

‐ Retail loan segment is increasingly prioritized by many banks thanks to it’s

advantages: (1) low risk ratio when calculating CAR under Circular 41 (depending

on collateral or 80% if no real estate collaretal); (2) Help to improve loan yield; (3)

Minimize concentration risk.

‐ Potential to increase retail credit proportion remains as Vietnam's proportion of retail

loans is still lower than that of developed countries and people's lifestyles are

changing towards more debt acceptance. However, this segment will face a higher

level of competition as more and more banks switch their focus on.

Deposit from customers increased by 6.1% in 8M.2020. The average listed deposit rate has decreased

by 100 - 120 bps from the beginning of 2019 depending on the term.

Banks' cost of funds recorded a rapid decline in Q3.2020.

There has not been enough pressure to make deposit rates rise again:

‐ There has been no liquidity risk coming from bad debt.

‐ Less pressure on indicators: (1) credit growth partly based on corporate bonds reduces the pressure on

LDR as the numerator only takes into account loans to customers; (2) not paying cash dividend according

to SBV’s directive causing CAR to increase; (3) pressure on the ratio of short-term capital for medium and

long-term loans was reduced slightly when SBV delayed the deadline of lowering the ceiling rate.

‐ Liquidity pressure from credit growth is not expected to appear in 2020 and may not appear until the end

of 2021.

Lending rate is adjusted to decrease but at a slower pace than listed deposit interest rate:

‐ Banks balance the impact of lowering deposit rates and lending rates on NIM since the effect of lowering

listed deposit rates on banks’ cost of fund is slower because deposits often have fixed rate.

‐ Corporate customers enjoy more preferences on lending rate reduction and debt structure than individuals.

In addition, new loans will have lower interest rates than current outstanding loans.

NIM is expected to remain at 2020 level in 2021.

NPLs and risk assets ratio increased from above 3% at the end of 2019 to 4.5% in Q3.2020 according to SBV data.

Many banks recorded recovery of restructured loans:

‐ Many banks recorded no increase in restructured loans in Q3.2020. In addition, yields recorded on customer loans recovered strongly in some banks with good asset quality.

The main reason comes from the fact that part of the restructured customers now has cash flows to pay interests and even principals.

‐ With many customers recovering their production and business activities, the expected amount of restructured loans turning into bad debts when Circular 01 expires is low.

Free transfers have gradually become the trend among the group of dynamic banks:

Increasing transaction fees can help banks increase their Non interest income, however the

fee exemption combined with other forms of customer experience enhancement helps

banks attract regular customers, thus reducing capital costs as CASA increases and gaining

deposits. In addition, attracting individual customers is also helpful for increasing credit

when this is the target customer group of many banks.

Decree 81/2020/ND-CP affects the bond retail-distribution activities of some banks: In

general, Decree 81 will adjust the corporate bond market in a more sustainable direction

by limiting the distribution of poor quality bonds to unprofessional investors. However,

some banks will be affected since they often used private placement method many times to

distribute the bond to many individuals. Specifically:

‐ Bonds issued by Private placement is locked for 1 year, the number of investors is limited

to be less than 100 and now must be at least 6 months apart between 2 consecutive

issuances under the new rules. Therefore, the bank cannot distribute bonds to more than

100 customers at the time of issuance if they continue to use this method. In addition, open

funds are not allowed to buy bonds issued this way.

‐ Issuing bonds by public offering has higher requirements on issuers and the underwriter

cannot control demand.

BANKING SECTOR – 2021 OUTLOOK

© VCBS Research Department

Bank groups:

- Large banks (AGR, VCB, BID, CTG): continue to be under pressure to reduce lending rates

when SBV doesn’t changed their monetary policy. Therefore, the Net interest margin of this

group decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 and cannot fully recover in 2021.

- Dynamic banks (ACB, MBB, TCB, VPB, VIB, TPB): has higher credit growth due to better

sources of capital (higher equity source from retain earning) and smaller scale. In addition, the

pressure to lower deposit rate is lower than the large banks, leading to a positive growth in total

income.

Circular 01 expected to expire in 2021, when Covid-19 pandemic ends since many countries

can mass produce preventive vaccines.

‐ With good signs of recovery in restructured loans, an increase in bad debt coming from

restructured customers is expected to be at 0.5 - 1% of total loan balance and there will be a

strong variation between banks depending on asset quality. In addition, banks that made strong

provisioning in 2020 for potential bad debts coming in the future will be under less pressure to

increase provision expense in 2021.

‐ Impact on provision expense will spread gradually in 2021 and 2022 because outstanding loan

still has a 360-day deferred payment process from the new repayment term to switch from group

1 debt to group 5 debt.

Main business activities:

ACB is a joint stock commercial bank with a dynamic business model and high risk

management capabilities. The bank focuses most of its business activities in the retail

customer segment, with real estate collateral for loans mainly. ACB's asset quality is well

controlled with low NPLs ratio.

Shareholder structure:

Including 30% owned by foreign funds, 7% owned by Tran Hung Huy (Chairman of the

Board of Directors) and family members, the rest are other shareholders.

Business results:

In 9M.2020, ACB recorded EBT of VND 6,411 billion (+15.3% yoy). Positive growth rate

was achieved thanks to good growth in net interest income as well as non-interest income.

Page 12: BANKING SECTOR REPORT 2021 - VCBS

ASIA COMMERCIAL BANK (ACB)

© VCBS Research Department

Credit growth of 10.7% after 9M.2020: in 2019 ACB has CAR of 11.7%, belonging to the group with optimal capital adequacy ratio to keep balance between credit growth

and target profit. We expect ACB will continue to be assigned a higher credit growth target than the industry average in the coming years.

Potential for good growth in non-interest income:

⁃ ACB owns a portfolio of government bonds of VND 61,632 billion, bond yield recorded at 5.0% in Q3.2020. The recorded yield was much higher than the government bond

interest rate in the market at 1-2%. Thus, ACB can record an abnormal profit from investment securities if the bank sells some of these government bonds.

⁃ According to the bank's expectation, ACB could sign an exclusive Bancassurance contract in 2020. With its position as one of the banks with the highest insurance sales in the

system and the negotiation process took place very thoroughly, we expect that ACB could get a higher upfront fee than peer average.

Good asset quality with high quality assets:

⁃ ACB focuses on lending to high-income individual customers. The bank recorded the lowest Credit

cost/Outstanding balance ratio in the industry.

⁃ The collaterals for ACB's loans are mainly real estate with clear legal status and stable market value in the long

term. In case customers cannot pay their debts, the debt recovery process of ACB is relatively favorable with

recovery rate among the highest in the industry.

Stable profitability helps BVPS continue to grow at an expected rate of 25% in 2020 and 26% in 2021.

High possibility of entering the VN-30 index basket in the restructuring period of July 2021 after listing

in HOSE.

Credit growth of 11.8% in 9M.2020: CAR in 2019 reached 10.68%, belonging to the group of banks with optimal capital adequacy ratio to balance the target of credit

growth. We expect MBB will continue to be assigned a higher credit growth target than the industry average in the coming years.

CASA is more sustainable thanks to the individual customer base: after the decline in Q1.2020 due to the group of corporate customers affected by Covid-19, in Q3.2020

CASA grew again to 33.5% thanks to individual customer groups. The proportion of deposits of individual customers increased to about 30% as the bank applied free money

transfer program and launched many programs to attract customers.

Good asset quality: MBB's NPL ratio increased from 1.16% to 1.50% in Q3.2020 and the bank made high provisions from Q1.2020 for NPL which may rise due to Covid-

19. Therefore, we expect MBB to incur less increased provisioning expenses in the post-pandemic phase.

Maintaining a good profitability index helps book value continue to grow: MBB's ROE is forecast to reach 22.5% for 2020 and 19% for 2021, BVPS forward 2021 at

VND 19,884/share and P/B forward is at 0.97 times.

Gradually improving cost of fund: The customer base increases rapidly as TPB is one of the pioneering banks that apply technology to improve customer experience and

launch marketing campaign including reducing service fee. In 9M.2020, TPB's CASA increased by 21% and the ratio reach 16%. In addition, TPB maintains a high rate of

mobilization from the interbank market with net borrowing equivalent to 22.5% of customer deposits. With current abundant liquidity environment, raising more from the

interbank market is less risky and helps TPB reduce cost of fund.

Credit growth reached 23% after 9M.2020 and high growth rates can be maintained in the future: with the advantage of small-sized bank, good data source and rapidly

increasing individual customer base thanks to effective marketing campaign, TPB has the highest credit growth in the industry. We expect TPB will be given higher credit room

than the industry average in the coming years when the bank has abundant capital from retained earnings

Car loans: although car loans incur more NPLs than home loans, the profit earned is still high when the bank requires higher lending rates to offset incurred provision expense.

Cars as collaterals are also easily to recall and sell when customers need the bank's confirmation for annual registration.

The rebound in recorded yield of customer loan portfolio is a sign showing that restructured customers are recovering well:

- TPB has VND 8,000 billion restructured loans (7.4% of customer loans), of which about VND 5,000 billion have principal repayment extended and 3,000 VND billion have both

interest and principal repayment extended.

- The yield recorded on customer loan portfolio was 10.9% in Q3.2020, going up from Q2 and not much lower than the yield of 11.0% in Q1.2020 as a large portion of

restructuring customers returned to pay interest as normal.

High growth rate of interest earning assets coupled with efficient operations help sustain growth in profits and equity in the long run.
