MCB: CY19 Result Review                                                            (In-line)

 

·         MCB Bank Limited (MCB), in line with our expectation, reported CY19 NPAT of PkR23.9bn (EPS: PkR20.1) vs. PkR20.4bn (EPS: PkR17.2) in the corresponding period last year. The bank positively surprised on payout (DPS stood at PkR5; c. DPS: PkR17) which was widely appreciated (MCB: +4.6% as of this note).

·         On a quarterly basis, 4QCY19 NPAT clocked in at PkR7.8bn (EPS: PkR6.5, +36.8%QoQ/15.1%YoY).

·         Gross Yield improved by 2.5ppt QoQ to 41.6% potentially at the back of repricing gains and deleveraging.

·         Non-Interest contribution to total income improved to 23.6% in 4QCY19 vs. 18.8% in previous quarter attributable to capital gains (PkR1,015mn in 4QCY19 vs. –ve PkR9.1mn in 3QCY19).

·         The bank, defying historical trend, contained its administrative costs (4Q costs are usually higher) as a result of which C/I ratio dipped to 41.5% in 4QCY19 vs. 48.7% in 3QCY19.

·         Provisions stood at PkR852mn in 4QCY19 where we attribute it to possibly higher credit costs.
