Garanti Bank - Forecasts Beat Despite Free Provisioning

Garanti Bank announced 2Q17 financials yesterday, reporting TRY1,554 mln in standalone net income, about flat Q-o-Q and y-o-y (on a recurring basis, net income was flattish Q-o-Q and up 40% y-o-y), yielding a 16.7% ROE. In 1H17, net income amounted to TRY3,080 mln, marking 19% y-o-y reported earnings growth (or around 50% y-o-y on a recurring basis). The reported bottom line beat the market consensus estimate of TRY1,482 mln and our estimate of TRY1,448 mln, even though the bank set aside TRY220 mln in free provisions (we had been expecting TRY100 mln). The main positive of the quarter was the strong asset quality, as reflected in the only 30 bp net NPL formation rate. Garanti also sustained fee growth of 14% y-o-y, slowed opex growth to 8% y-o-y and substantially improved its capital ratios. The only real negative was an around 35 bp contraction in swap-adjusted NIM. We expect a positive market reaction to the financials.
