·         Bank ALHabib Limited (BAHL), in line with our expectation, reported CY19 NPAT of PkR11.1bn (EPS: PkR10.1) vs. PkR8.4bn (EPS: PkR7.6) in the corresponding period last year. The result was accompanied with a dividend of PkR3.5/sh.

·         Gross Yield clocked in at 35.1% in 4QCY19, flat QoQ, however down 11.8ppt YoY which indicates that repricing cycle is not complete yet. Furthermore, higher leverage to book higher yields might have also contributed in dampening gross yield.

·         Non-Interest contribution to total income improved to 21.8% in 4QCY19 vs. 16.6% in previous quarter attributable to higher fee income (PkR2.0bn in 4QCY19 vs. PkR1.3bn in the previous quarter) and FX income (PkR833mn in 4QCY19 vs. PkR394mn in 3QCY19).
