Nigeria Banks in 2022: Neither the best nor worst of times
In this report, we highlight four key trends that will shape Nigeria’s banking sector in 2022. We also roll our models forward to 2026 and make changes to our valuation inputs, by raising our cost of equity to better reflect higher interest rates compared to 2020 and the appropriate risk premium for Nigerian equities. Overall, we expect our coverage to deliver an average ROE of 14.5% in 2022, vs 14.8% previously. The marginal drop in our forecast is based on slower expected growth in margins,...

Nigerian banks are pushing into fintech and digitalisation to survive
Nigeria's banks face three main headwinds in 2022: 1) continued regulatory hurdles; 2) declining profitability; and 3) the growing threat of fintechs and telcos. The banks that succeed will be those that can amend their strategy and adapt to the new environment. In this report, we highlight two banks – Stanbic IBTC and Standard Chartered – that have done just that, moving to embrace financial technology and digitalisation. STANBIC IBTC BUILDING ITS OWN FINTECH The diversified financial holdin...

FBN Holdings: Weaker Q3 21 earnings on lower revenue and higher taxes,...
FBNH’s Q3 21 results were worse than expected, as the holding company reported an 87% yoy decline in net attributable profit (excluding discontinued operations) compared to the 58% yoy decline we expected. One of the significant drivers of the group’s underperformance was net interest income, which fell 4% yoy compared to our expectation for 10% growth. The group racked up higher funding costs, mostly from interbank borrowings which command higher rates due to the tight banking system liqui...

FBNH recently released its Q2 21 results, reporting a 75% growth in net attributable profit (from continued operations) to NGN22bn, close to our expectations of NGN21bn.

The group recorded massive gains on instruments held at fair value through profit and loss (NGN19bn vs a loss of NGN1bn in Q2 20...

Nigeria banks intensify search for new growth engines
We previously wrote on how Nigeria banks are pursuing holding company structures (holdcos), to access new markets where they have strong competitive advantages. There have also been push factors, such as the regulatory difficulties associated with traditional banking (especially the punitive cash reserve ratio (CRR) debits), compressed margins and the growing threat from fintechs. Additionally, the holdco structure has the advantage of keeping bank CEOs around for longer when their mandatory ...

Nigeria banks' asset-quality risks recede
The Nigerian banking system was able to avoid widespread deterioration in asset quality – a key concern for investors apart from rising interest rates – due to the CBN’s forbearance measures. Although Covid-induced moratoriums have now expired, continued regulatory support, pick-up in economic activity and extended forbearance on intervention loans are likely to keep NPL ratios from rising substantially. Rising crude oil prices are also positive for oil and gas loans, which form a huge portio...

How Nigeria banks will thrive in the face of rising rates
Nigeria’s macroeconomic picture remains bleak, with high inflation and unemployment, sub-par real GDP growth and a weakened local currency. These issues, alongside a difficult regulatory environment, have had negative implications on banks, as well as their heavily discounted valuation. In this report, we look at how the rising rate environment is a double-edged sword for Nigeria banks, as it provides the opportunity to expand NIMs, but minimises room to book large trading gains. This is part...

FBN Holdings: Q1 21 results are out, but that is not what everyone is ...
The 29th of April 2021, will be remembered as a remarkable day in Nigeria’s banking sector. In one sweeping move, the Central Bank of Nigeria's Governor removed all the board members of Nigeria’s oldest bank and agency banking leader – First Bank of Nigeria – as well as the holding company, FBN Holdings. The key question is why did this happen? We highlight two major reasons. First, the group did not provide information or secure approval from the CBN, prior to making recent public changes to...

Following the release of its FY 20 unaudited results, FBNH published its audited results, posting a 19% yoy growth in net attributable profit from continued operations to NGN74bn (unaudited results showed a 4% growth).

The group declared a final dividend of NGN0.45/share (up 18% yoy), translating to a dividend yield of 6.2% at its current price. We have a Buy ra...
