Equity Bottom-Up

Postal Savings Bank of China C / Equity Bottom-Up

*Blowout 3Q21 Results: Established in 2007, Postal Savings Bank of China (1658.HK) [PSB], mainland China’s youngest large commercial bank, reported 3Q21 bottom-line results of CNY 23.5 bn – increasing CNY 3.7 bn (18.6%) linked quarter. Much of the improvement at PSB is due to credit leverage, as loss provisions declined CNY 9.3 bn (54.3%); and*Credit Quality Continues Its Positive Turn, But Reserves More Than Adequate: Net new NPLs did increase CNY 7.8 bn or 61.0% annualized versus CNY 14.9 bn or 116.6% at 2Q21. Despite the increase in net new NPLs, it would appear that PSB’s reserves would remain excessive to the tune of CNY 100 bn or about a year of pre-tax profits – begging the question of why not reverse loss reserves?

Postal Savings Bank of China – Reserve Reversals Expected

*Quarter Highlighted By Weak Credit: Ping An Bank (000001.CH) [PAB], the Ping An Insurance (2318.HK) [Ping An] banking subsidiary, reported 3Q21 results of CNY 11.7 bn – increasing CNY 4.1 bn (55.0%). Don’t shoot off the streamers just yet, credit quality was abysmal and Ping An is seemingly pulling on its bank lever to offset what looks to be another quarter self-inflicted harm  within its investment portfolio;  and *Credit Challenges: By our analysis, we find that credit remains incredibly challenged as net new NPLs are now accelerating at Indian bank pace of CNY 12.4 bn or 159.8% annualized.  Assuming the accelerated credit break in the PAB portfolio continues to remain at its current level, we find that PAB’s reserves remain CNY 19 bn light.

*Weaker Quarter: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (1398.HK) [ICBC] reported 2Q21 bottom-line results of CNY 77.7 bn, decreasing CNY 8.0 bn or 9.3% linked quarter. The linked quarter weakness, in our view, can be attributed to negative operating jaws as costs increased CNY 9.4 bn (14.8%) and revenues declined CNY 589 mn (0.3%); and*Credit Risk Continues to Rise: The level of net new NPLs increased 46.4% on annualized basis and remains elevated. When one considers the break-down in credit quality, reserves would appear to be light – in the neighborhood of CNY 86.1 bn, amounting to about one quarter of pre-tax results at ICBC.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China – Negative Jaws Pressure Results

*Excess Provisioning Eats Away At 2Q21 Results: Established in 2007, Postal Savings Bank of China (1658.HK) [PSB] is mainland China’s youngest large commercial bank. PSB reported 2Q21 bottom-line results of CNY 19.9 bn – declining CNY 1.4 bn (6.6%) linked quarter. Excluding gains, PSB’s core operating results declined CNY 6.0 bn (36.0%) over the period. Results were impacted by significantly higher loss provisions and negative operating jaws; and
*Credit Quality Turns, But Reserves More Than Adequate: Net new NPLs increased CNY 14.9 bn and equate to an elevated 116.6% annualized – quite the difference from the CNY 9.3 bn or 18.4% annualized posted at year-end. Despite the accelerated increase in net new NPLs, it would appear that PSB’s reserves exceed known and potential credit risk to the tune of CNY 89.5 bn or over a year of pre-tax profits – begging the question of why the increase in loss provisions?
