BGC Partners - HALKB 4Q19 Update: Strong NIM recovery from a low base

Halkbank reported TL797mn unconsolidated net income in 4Q19, broadly in line with the TL779mn consensus and slightly higher than TL715mn BGC estimates. The beat vs. our estimates stemmed from a lower net CoR, as a result of both lower-than-expected net NPL inflows and coverage. Remaining balance sheet and P&L items were in line with our expectations. In summary, Halkbank let go off some market share in 4Q while its NIM expanded strongly despite losses from CPI-linkers. Net NPL formation remained lower than peer-average while fees continued to grow robustly, and cost growth was contained. All in all, ROE rose to double-digits in 4Q19, after five quarters of c.4% ROE, bringing the FY19 ROE to just below 6%.
