Cheap valuations and healthy balance sheet are main appeals We maintain an Outperform rating for BBL as we see its cheap valuations (with its P/BV near the ‐2.5SD level, close to the low level during the crisis in 2009) and its healthiest balance sheet compared to peers, especially with respect to its reserve cushion, remaining BBL’s main price catalysts. We also view that BBL will be in a better position to withstand the macro headwinds. 4Q15 net profit above our forecast but quite in line with the street BBL’s 4Q15 net profit (NP) of Bt7.7bn (‐12% YoY, ‐15% QoQ) was ahead of our forecast of Bt6.2bn, but quite in line with the street estimate of Bt7.4bn. The higher‐than‐expected results were due largely to higher‐ than‐expected net fee income and NIM as well as higher‐than‐expected gain on investment, with the bank booking large gain of Bt1.1bn in 4Q15. 4Q15 net profit stood at Bt7.7bn (‐12% YoY, ‐15% QoQ) The main reasons for the NP drop YoY were a much higher provision. Meanwhile, the lower extra gain QoQ (~Bt3bn in 3Q15 vs. ~Bt1.4bn in 4Q15) and higher operating expenses in every 4Q on seasonality were the main reasons for the NP drop QoQ. 2015 net profit stood at Bt34.2bn (‐6% YoY) The decline in NP was due largely to lower NIM on the rate cut impact and the higher provision. Meanwhile, core profit still grew by 3% YoY backed by modest loan growth of 5% YoY and 3% QoQ and the robust growth in non‐interest income by 28%, backed mainly by sound net fee income growth of 11%. Moreover, the main earnings cushion for BBL in 2015 came from its ability to generate huge gain on investments (Bt5.8bn in 2015 vs. Bt4.1bn in 2014) as well as gain on disposal of assets (Bt3.0bn in 2015 vs. Bt2.0bn in 2014). Given such extra gains, the bank set aside a much higher provision at Bt14.7bn (78 bps) vs. Bt8.7bn (49 bps) in 2014. Asset quality improved QoQ, mainly on write‐offs The bank’s NPLs for 4Q15 declined by Bt1.9bn or 3% QoQ, mainly due to the normal pattern wherein the bank usually does higher loan write‐offs at yearend. Meanwhile, its NPL ratio for 4Q15 was stable QoQ at 2.8% but it still increased from 2.1% in 2014. Its reserve‐to‐NPL ratio in 4Q15 was higher QoQ to 185% from 173% but still lower vs. 204% in 4Q14. Meanwhile, its reserve to the BoT’s minimum required reserve was lower at 213% vs. 217% in 3Q15 and 277% in 4Q14 but it remained the healthiest vs. peers.
