CAIRO - Commercial International Bank (EGX: COMI) today reported second-quarter 2023 consolidated net income of EGP 7.99 billion, or EGP 2.38 per share, up by 2.3x from second-quarter 2022.
Management Commented: "Building on a strong start to the year in the first quarter, CIB delivered another record set of results in the second quarter of 2023, ending the first half of the year with top and bottom line growth of 74% and 82%, respectively, compared to last year, which fed into Return on Average Equity (ROAE) of 49.1% for the second quarter and 41.3% for the first half, almost doubling from last year. This came as Management capitalized on the Bank's resilient balance sheet in accommodating macroeconomic dynamics, while sustaining fundamentals and growth momentum.
Performance in the second quarter came in noteworthy and primarily driven by strong balance sheet growth. At one end, CIB maintained its deposit growth impetus, growing its Local Currency Deposit base by 20% or EGP 75 billion, while attracting Foreign Currency Deposits worth of USD 240 million, over the second quarter. Uncompromised by this robust balance sheet growth, Management upheld its due focus on Spreads and Margins, which CIB managed to expand by around 40 basis points over the quarter, notwithstanding the highly-competitive market for deposits, and the inherent pressure posed on Cost of Funds. This came as Management remained keen towards maintaining a healthy contribution of Current and Saving Accounts (CASA), of 53% to Total Deposits, despite the current market inclination towards longer-term funding, coupled with the Bank's proactive Treasury Management that allowed for efficient allocation of excess funds, while preserving the desirable balance between liquidity and profitability. Those factors combined fed into Net Interest Income (NII) growth of 20% in the second quarter, compared to the first, which, being the core top line pillar, sets the stage for second-half performance. At the other end, the previous came paralleled with growth in the Bank's sustainable stream of Non-Interest Income, with Core Fees and Commissions growing by 10% over the second quarter, echoing decent lending growth, coupled with a rebound in Trade Finance activity. The latter came especially owing to CIB being well-equipped to cater Foreign Exchange and Trade Finance client needs in a timely manner, as Management continued to prioritize maintaining adequate foreign currency liquidity for potential market needs.
Remaining committed to its role in extending funding to businesses and individuals, CIB grew its Local Currency Loan book by 6% or EGP 9.4 billion in the quarter, recording a Total Gross Loan Portfolio of EGP 252 billion, by end of the first half of 2023, and of EGP 273 billion, upon considering the Securitization Portfolio of EGP 21.7 billion, preserving its position as the largest Lender-and-Securitizer among Private-Sector Banks. This came while presuming its role in funding Small-and-Medium-Sized-Enterprises (SMEs), exceeding the required target stipulated by CBE. This growth in lending got through while maintaining solid asset quality, with the proportion of non-performing loans decreasing over the quarter, and with Loan Loss Provision Balance recording EGP 29.9 billion by end of the first half of 2023, securing coverage for 11.9% of the Bank's Total Gross Loan Portfolio, and 17.7% of the Unsecured Portion therein, consequently, maintaining the Bank's foremost market position in Coverage for Expected Losses.
Simultaneously, Coverage for Unexpected Losses remained healthy, with Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) resting at 19% by end of the first half of 2023, comfortably above the minimum regulatory threshold, and maintained from last quarter, despite global macroeconomic pressures and robust core business growth. It is worth highlighting that Management continues to take proactive actions to cement the Bank's Capital Position and CAR against macroeconomic dynamics. Precisely, and further attesting investor confidence in its solid fundamentals, CIB managed this quarter to secure loans from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) worth of USD 250 million, which comes as a vote of confidence by IFC in the growth prospects and balance sheet fundamentals for CIB amidst current market conditions. Of this amount, USD 150 million is a Subordinated Loan, which would come to support the Bank's Capital Base, particularly Tier II Capital, while acting as a partial hedge tool for the Bank's CAR against potential foreign exchange fluctuations. The remaining USD 100 million aims at helping CIB boost its focus on funding of green projects, further emphasizing the Bank's integral role in setting the tone for Responsible Banking, through providing distinct support to businesses that are going green.
Overall, Management is content about CIB's performance for the first half of the year. And, although the second half encloses a somewhat high degree of ambiguity attending the macroeconomic outlook, on both, global and local fronts, Management yet remains positive, with a strong confidence in the ability of CIB, and the Egyptian Banking Sector as a whole, to endure uncertainties and to well-accommodate macroeconomic and regulatory developments."
