Halkbank - Strong Growth Secures Good Asset Quality, Fee Growth in 2Q17

Halkbank announced its 2Q17 BRSA standalone financials yesterday. Net income totaled TRY1,009 mln, in line with estimates and yielding 17.3% quarterly ROE, a 17% Q-o-Q drop but 14% y-o-y growth. This put the 1H17 net income figure at TRY2,228 mln (up 42% y-o-y). Positive highlights from the quarter include strong asset quality with only 38 bps in net NPL inflow and a significant 5% Q-o-Q drop in Category 2 loans, 10.7% Q-o-Q lira loan growth with even larger 13.4% Q-o-Q growth in lira deposits, 70% y-o-y growth in fees and a circa 50 bp Q-o-Q improvement in capital ratios. On the negative side, we note a 90 bp Q-o-Q drop in NIM due to a 66 bp Q-o-Q contraction in the loan/deposit interest rate spread and a TRY113 mln Q-o-Q drop in interest income from CPI linkers. We expect the financials to be neutral for the bank's share price.
