Solid non‐NII and sound balance sheet remain its main cushions We maintain our Outperform rating and the 16TP for KBANK. We still expect the bank to be able to manage the headwinds during the slow economic recovery given its solid non‐interest income base and its more solid balance sheet vs. peers. 4Q15 results slightly below our forecast but in line with the street KBANK’s 4Q15 net profit (NP) of Bt5.5bn (‐45% YoY, ‐46% QoQ) was slightly below our forecast (Bt6.0bn) by 9% but in line with the consensus estimate (Bt5.5bn). The higher NP vs. our forecast was due mainly to the lower‐than‐expected gain on trading and FX transactions. 4Q15 net profit stood at Bt5.5bn (‐45% YoY, ‐46% QoQ) The main reasons behind the NP drop were 1) its booking of an extra one‐off impairment expense (Bt2.3bn) for its IT system software in 4Q15; 2) a higher provision; and 3) the normal seasonality with higher operating expenses every 4Q. 2015 net profit stood at Bt39.5bn (‐14% YoY) The decline in NP was due largely to 1) a higher provision (164bps in 2015 vs. 93 bps in 2014) following its weaker asset quality; 2) weakened NIM by ~26bps on the rate cut impact and higher NPLs; and 3) the booking of an extra one‐off impairment expense (Bt2.3bn or ~5% of 2015 net profit) for its IT system software as mentioned earlier. Meanwhile, core profit (PPOP) for 2015 still grew solidly by 13% YoY backed by 1) its modest loan growth of 5.4% YoY and 2% QoQ; and 2) especially from its main earnings cushion from its solid growth in non‐interest income (+13%); this was due mainly to robust growth in its gain on trading and FX transactions (+45%) and the 11% growth in its net fee income. Asset quality still weakened QoQ as estimated NPLs still increased QoQ to 2.7% of loans from 2.6% in 3Q15, in line with the bank’s latest indication of 2.7‐2.8% in 2015 and 3.5‐3.6% in 2016E, mainly from the small SME segments. However, given the bank’s prudent policy, it set a higher provision to cope with higher NPL risk. Thus, its reserve to the BoT’s required reserve remained solid and was the second highest after BBL, with KBANK’s ratio at 192% in 2015 vs. 175% in 2014 and 186% in 3Q15 (vs. BBL 217%, SCB 119%, TMB 168%, KTB 138%, TCAP 158%, TISCO 126% and KKP 160% in 2015). Meanwhile, its reserve‐to‐ NPL ratio was stable QoQ at 130% but still down from 141% in 2014.
