Price Performance (%)
Earnings and target price under review for possible upgrade We maintain our Buy rating for MTLS as we see that it remains appealing on its favorable earnings outlook, which should continue outperforming financial peers. Moreover, we see a potential upgrade for our earnings forecasts and target price estimates for MTLS.
4Q16 net profit (Bt483mn) up 101% YoY and 20% QoQ The 4Q16 results were higher than both our forecast and the street estimate by 17‐19%, mainly on a lower‐than‐expected provision and operating expenses as well as a higher‐than‐expected interest spread. 2016 net profit came in at Bt1.46bn, up 77% YoY The upbeat results for 2016 were due mainly to robust loan growth of 86% YoY and non‐interest income growth of 36% YoY. This was backed mainly by its continuing branch expansion to 1,664 branches at end‐16 vs. 940 branches at end‐15, with 724 new branches opened in 2016 vs. 433 branches in 2015, respectively, beating the firm’s target of ~1,600 branches at end‐16. Meanwhile, the interest spread ended at 19.5%, which was ahead of our forecast, thanks mainly to its efficient funding cost management. Given the better‐than‐expected results, we see a potential earnings upgrade for MTLS, mainly on the potential for a better‐than‐expected interest spread and lower provision expenses, as well as the likelihood of higher‐than‐expected branch expansion.

NPLs increased both YoY and QoQ following its rapid credit growth Its NPLs at end‐4Q16 increased both YoY and QoQ following its rapid credit expansion. This resulted in a slightly higher NPL ratio both YoY and QoQ to 1.07% of loans in 4Q16 from 0.95% in 3Q16 and 0.92% in 4Q15. The increase in NPLs came mainly from NPLs in car title loans. Announced cash dividend of Bt0.10/share, just a 14.5% payout ratio MTLS announced a cash dividend of Bt0.10/share for the 2016 performance, representing a dividend payout ratio of just 14.5%, down from 51% for 2015. The lower dividend payout is aimed mainly at keeping its capital for further business expansion. We expect this low payout ratio to be its policy for the next few years. The X‐dividend date and payment date will be on 26 April and 15 May 2017, respectively.
