Saudi British Bank (SABB) is the latest victim of significantly higher provisioning and declining non-operating income as it reported pressured 3Q financials. Net income at only SAR 995 million is much lower than consensus estimates of SAR 1.12 billion and our expectations of SAR 1.15 billion. Operating expenses have surged to SAR 708 million, led by a hike in provisions for credit losses to an estimated SAR 170 million. Another worrying development is the SAR 6 billion it lost in deposits Q/Q while also condensing net loans by some SAR 5 billion over the quarter, keeping LDR flat at 85%. We reduce our target price to SAR 24.00 from SAR 26.00. While SABB continues on our Buy list, it does so with dampened conviction.

Loans drop Y/Y and Q/Q Net special commission income (NSCI) grew by a healthy +13% Y/Y and +3% Q/Q to SAR 1.22 billion (near our SAR 1.17 billion forecast) as total special commissions income increased by +34% Y/Y to SAR 1.59 billion. Higher SAIBOR is the only driver for the boost in NSCI given a decline in loans. We are surprised by a SAR 5.2 billion depletion in net loans (-2% Y/Y, -4% Q/Q) given healthy credit demand. However, this may be explained by the need to keep LDR in check.

Deposits plummet by SAR 6 billion

1-Year Price Performance

The most astonishing aspect of the 3Q announcement for us has been the SAR 6.2 billion reduction (-7% Y/Y) in deposit base to SAR 144 billion, even below the SAR 149 billion at 2015-end. Credit has been squeezed to keep LDR at 85% (flat Q/Q) leaving some room to grow in 4Q where credit demand is expected to be healthy but deposit mobilization would be a challenge.

Non-operating income has also been weak for the quarter as fee-based, trading and exchange income continues to be under pressure. In addition, operating expenses have risen considerably by +23% Y/Y to SAR 708 million. Besides some growth in general admin expenses, the primary culprit is likely to be a hike in provisions for credit losses. While we were expecting SAR 110 million, provisions likely came close to SAR 170 million. This might be one of the first signs that banks are now booking greater provisions and accruing NPLs given the economic environment; expect more to come. Net income fell to SAR 995 million (-13% Y/Y, -14% Q/Q). Deviation from our SAR 1.15 billion estimate is attributed to higher provisions.

Given the unfolding economic environment and the bank’s latest financials, we are further cutting our target price by -8% to SAR 24.00. Although SABB is still on our Buy list, given a sizeable upside to target price, conviction on the call is not too high right now. 2016E P/B stands at 0.8x.
