Morningstar | MyState Continues to Face Challenging Operating Conditions

As a small regional bank, MyState’s strengths include high customer loyalty, conservative capital management, strong credit quality, and an expanding distribution network. The bank’s loan portfolio is heavily skewed to Tasmania, but is expanding outside the state through increasing broker usage, enhancing geographic diversification and reducing risk profile. The loan book is dominated by residential home loans, backed by solid retail deposit funding. We expect the bank to continue delivering solid operating results with low bad debts. MyState has lower bad-debt costs than peers due to its relatively conservative lending practices and focus on home loans, but struggles to generate comparable profitability with much smaller customer base and higher funding and operating costs. The wealth management division remains profitable and provides a valuable revenue stream despite underperforming over the past few years.
