Earnings Review / Yapi Kredi Bank (YKBNK TI) - Operationally in-line: Maintain Hold

Yapi Kredi reported 2Q18 net income of TRY1,227m (-1% q-q, +38% y-y), above our estimate (TRY1,116m) and the RT consensus (TRY1,107m). Our deviation stems from lower-than-expected opex on branch level expenses. Core revenues grew 9% q-q on expanded core spread (+42bps q-q) and higher CPI-linker revenues (+6% q-q). Fee income expanded by a solid but expected 27% y-y in 2Q18, while opex increased by an unexpectedly low 9%. Asset quality deteriorated as two big ticket loans (TRY402m) went into NPL. Net total CoR soared 161bp in 2Q from 96bp in 1Q. The CAR rose to 15% (+1.1pp q-q) on capital injection of USD1bn in June. ROE went down to 14.1% from 16.1% a quarter ago mainly on capital increase, 15% if adjusted for that.

We revise our 18-20E EPS by +0.6/+1.2/+3%, respectively, raise our GGM-based TP slightly to TRY2.33 and remain HOLD
