Commentary
· First City Monument Bank Group Plc. (FCMB) released audited FY 2015 results, wherein gross earnings rose 2.6% YoY (9M: +2.4%) to N152.5 billion while PBT and PAT climbed 68% (9M: -85%) and 79% higher (9M: -87%) YoY to N7.8 billion and N4.8 billion respectively.
· In addition, FCMB announced a dividend of N0.10 per share (FY 15E: N0.05, FY 14), which translates to ~12.5% dividend yield at current pricing.
· A quick read through Q4 15 numbers show a recovery from the impairment hit Q3 15, when the bank booked an N11.5billion write-down largely on legacy downstream O&G loans, with FCMB recording recoveries of N254 million over the quarter.
· The benign trend in loan loss provisioning line masked a spike in Q4 15 interest expense (despite commencement of monetary policy easing in Q4 15) with annualized WACF jumping 520bps QoQ to 9.4%.
· FCMB trades at a current P/E and P/B of 3.3x and 0.1x respectively which are both at discount to peer averages. Relative to last trading price of N0.8, our FVE at N1.84 implies a BUY rating.
· More analysis to follow.
· Conference call details to follow. |
