Hisham Ezz Al-Arab, Chairman and Managing Director of CIB, commented on the quarter: "I am delighted to report that CIB has continued its strong performance in 2012, with record top and bottom lines for the third quarter despite the typical seasonal slowdown at this time of year. Consolidated revenues came in at EGP 3.83 billion in the first nine months, up 35% over both 2011 and 2010. Third-quarter revenues were EGP 1.45 billion, an increase of 57% year-on-year and 18% over a strong second quarter, demonstrating an accelerating growth trend during the year.
"These outstanding numbers mark the success of CIB's approach of driving strong expansion in our consumer banking position while upholding our leading position in the corporate sector. We expect the Bank's momentum to continue into the fourth quarter, producing strong full-year results."
THIRD-QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
REVENUES
Third-quarter consolidated revenues were EGP 1.45 billion, up 57% from EGP 923 million in third-quarter 2011 and 18% higher than second-quarter 2012. Year-to-date consolidated revenues were EGP 3.83 billion, up 35% from the EGP 2.84 billion achieved in the year-ago period.
On a standalone basis, the Bank achieved EGP 1.42 billion in revenues for the third quarter, up 59% over the year-ago period and 18% over second-quarter 2012. Year-to-date standalone revenues were EGP 3.74 billion, an increase of 34% over the equivalent year-ago period.
Net Interest Income
The asset pricing strategy adopted in early 2012, alongside larger sovereign debt positions and yields, lifted the Bank's net interest margin (NIM) 100 basis points to 4.65% for the year-to-date, a 27% increase in margins over the 3.65% achieved in the first nine months of 2011. This generated consolidated net interest income of EGP 2.83 billion, 45% higher than the EGP 1.95 billion recorded in the year-ago period.
Non-Interest Income
Consolidated non-interest income for the first three quarters of 2012 was EGP 999 million, an increase of 12% over the year-ago period. Third-quarter non-interest income was EGP 422 million, 43% over second-quarter 2012 and 81% over third-quarter 2011.
Trade services experienced strong year-on-year growth of 15%, recording fees of EGP 176 million in the first three quarters of 2012. Bancassurance revenues surged to EGP 33 million, almost three times the year-ago figure. Net credit and debit card fees reached EGP 72 million, a 40% year-on-year increase, reflecting the Bank's solid growth strategy in consumer banking.
CIB incurred losses on financial investments of EGP 30 million compared to income of EGP 38 million in the comparable year-ago period, and dividend income decreased 62% to EGP 23 million from EGP 59 million in the year-ago period. These declines were offset by EGP 101 million in income related to the positive mark-to-market revaluation of the sovereign debt trading portfolio.
OPERATING EXPENSE
Consolidated operating expense in the first three quarters of 2012 was EGP 1.15 billion, up 1% from EGP 1.13 billion in the comparable year-ago period. Third-quarter operating expense was EGP 376 million, down 2% from the second quarter and up 2% year-on-year. Consolidated administrative expense grew by 7% in the first nine months to EGP 1.12 billion, compared to 1.05 billion in the year-ago period.
Despite aggressive revenue growth, management continued its strict control of expenses, leading to a significantly improved consolidated year-to-date efficiency ratio of 29.7% versus 40.4% in 2011. On a standalone basis, CIB's operating expense increased 8%, and the standalone efficiency ratio improved to 27.6% from 35.3% in the year-ago period.
LOANS
Total gross loans were EGP 43.3 billion at the end of the third quarter, up 9% over third-quarter 2011 and 1% over year-end 2011. Gross and net loans increased 1% over second-quarter 2012.
CIB maintained the highest loan market share of all private-sector banks at 8.35% as of August 2012 (according to the Central Bank of Egypt's latest data at time of print).
DEPOSITS
Customer deposits were EGP 78.5 billion on a standalone basis, up 12% year-on-year and 10% over year-end 2011. On a QoQ basis, deposits increased 2%.
Deposit market share grew to 7.59% as of August 2012, maintaining CIB's leading position amongst all private-sector banks.
The loan-to-deposit ratio was 55% in third-quarter 2012, versus 60% at year-end 2011.
ASSET QUALITY
Management's conservative risk management approach continued in third-quarter 2012, with cost of risk reaching 99 bp[2] in the first nine months of 2012, up from 77 bp for full-year 2011. Non-performing loans were 3.39% of gross loans, up from 2.81% at year-end 2011.
Coverage of non-performing loans by provisions was 116%, based on a total loan loss provisions reserve of EGP 1.7 billion and EGP 284 million for contingent and other provisions.
CAPITAL[3]
Total tier capital increased to EGP 9.43 billion in September 2012, or 16.5% of risk-weighted assets, versus 15.4% at year-end 2011. High quality Tier I capital grew to EGP 8.59 billion, or 15.0% of risk-weighted assets vs. EGP 7.8 billion, or 14.1%, at year-end 2011. The increase in capital base resulted largely from a positive mark-to-market revaluation of the available-for-sale (AFS) sovereign portfolio. Risk-weighted assets increased by 3% to EGP 57.2 billion from EGP 55.4 billion at year-end 2011.
Note on Taxes
In June 2011, the Government of Egypt raised corporate taxes from 20% to 25% for all income over EGP 10 million. The tax burden for the first three quarters of 2012 includes EGP 80 million related to taxes on full-year 2011 income from treasury bills and bonds. Management conservatively accrued this amount in response to the Tax Authority's circular distributed in March 2012. Normalising for this amount, consolidated year-to-date net income would be EGP 1.72 billion, up 61% over the year-ago period.
