Higher NPL risk to remain KTB’s key share price overhang   We  see  that  KTB’s  inexpensive  valuation  and  sound  dividend  yield  of  4.4%  remain  its  main  share  price  supports.  However,  the  sharp  deterioration of KTB’s asset quality in 1Q16 (the biggest jump in NPLs vs.  peers) as well as the ongoing market concern over its higher asset quality  risk will remain the key share price overhangs in the medium term.     KTB expects slower pace of NPL hike for the remaining quarters  Although  KTB  highlighted  that  the  NPL  outlook  for  the  rest  of  the  year  should  remain  on  an uptrend,  it  expects  the  pace  of  the  increase to  be  slower vs. the sharp 1Q16 rise. The bank said it will continue to be more  proactive  in  its  NPL  resolution  and  control  process  and  will  aim  to  maintain its reserve‐to‐NPL ratio at higher than 100%.     NPL rise in 1Q16 started to come from corporate and large SMEs      Note again that KTB’s NPLs in 1Q16 rose sharply by Bt13.7bn or 18% QoQ  (the highest rise vs. peers) to 3.7% of loans from 3.2% in 4Q15. The NPL  increase  in  1Q16  was  largely  caused  by  new  NPL  inflow  that  started  to  come  from  corporate  and  large  SME  clients,  followed  by  an  ongoing  increase  in  the  small  SME  and  retail  sectors  since  last  year.  The  weakened asset quality prompted KTB to set a higher provision (173 bps)  in 1Q16 to cope with higher NPL risk. However, the reserve‐to‐NPL ratio  (103%)  and  its  reserve  to  the  BoT’s  required  reserve  (135%)  for  1Q16  remain inferior vs. peers. Therefore, we still expect a high provision level  for the rest of the year.      Trim net profit estimates for 16‐17E by 9%  We  trimmed  our  net  profit  (NP)  forecasts  for  KTB  by  9%  for  both    2016‐17E, mainly to reflect the latest 2015 results, especially in regard to  the likelihood for a higher‐than‐expected provision on much higher NPL  risk and lower NIM on the recent lending rate cut impact. Following our  NP  revision,  we  trimmed  our  16E  target  price  to  Bt18.50/share  (from  Bt20/share  previously)  for  an  implied  target  P/BV  of  1.0x  based  on  L‐T  ROE of 13.9% and an L‐T growth rate of 9.8%.     Financials and Valuation
