Maintain Underperform on higher economic risk We maintain our Underperform rating for KBANK despite the stronger‐ than‐expected 2Q15 results as we still see higher economic risks on the likelihood of a prolonged sluggish economy. 2Q15 results beat our forecasts on strong non‐interest income KBANK posted the 2Q15 net profit (NP) of Bt11.5bn (‐2% YoY, ‐7% QoQ), which surpassed both our forecast (Bt9.4bn) and the street estimate (Bt10.9bn). The stronger‐than‐expected results vs. our forecast were due largely to the stronger‐than‐expected net premium income from its insurance business (+34% YoY, +32% QoQ) and net fee income (+15% YoY, +6% QoQ), as well as higher‐than‐expected NIM. 2Q15 net profit stood at Bt11.5bn (‐2% YoY, ‐7% QoQ) The main reasons behind the NP drop were a higher provision both YoY and QoQ on higher NPLs. The bank set aside a much higher provision of 154 bps in 2Q15 vs. 82 bps in 2Q14 and 104 bps in 1Q15 (following the bank’s prudent risk management practice) and compared to the bank’s guidance of up to 150 bps in 2015E. Meanwhile, loans for 2Q15 grew slowly by 1.2% QoQ and 2.6% YTD and NIM contracted by 8 bps QoQ and 16 bps YoY on the impacts of the rate cut and especially the higher NPLs. Non‐interest income remains the main bright spot The key bright spot for KBANK remains its sound non‐interest income growth (+17% YoY for 1H15), which was higher than the bank’s target of low‐teen growth and our forecast of +13% for 2015E. However, it may see slower growth momentum in 2H15E on the potential of a prolonged weak economy. Asset quality likely to weaken in 2H15 on weak macro fronts The bank’s NPLs increased 8% QoQ to 2.39% of loans from 2.26%. However, the bank set a higher provision in 2Q15, resulting in its reserve to the BoT’s required reserve and to NPLs in 2Q15 being quite stable QoQ at 181% and 138%, respectively. However, the bank’s asset quality still needs close monitoring, as the weak economy is likely to be prolonged at least for 2H15E. Moreover, note that the bank’s special mention loans in 2Q15 accelerated significantly QoQ to 2.2% of loans from 1.6% in 1Q15 and 1.2% in 2Q14. This could imply a higher NPL ratio and a high provisioning level in 2H15E if these loans cannot be resolved and turn to NPLs. Maintain forecast Although the 1H15 net profit represented 60% of our full‐year 2015E forecast, we maintain our forecast to be conservative in light of the higher economic risk despite slightly higher‐than‐expected non‐interest income and NIM. Moreover, cost to income is normally higher in 4Q. Financials and Valuation FY Ended 31 Dec
