Governor State Bank of Pakistan Syed Salim Raza has said that Pakistan's banking industry
had tremendous potential for further investment in the financial sector of the country.
Banks play very important role in the economy of a country and Pakistan is no exemption.
Pakistan has a well-developed banking system, which consists of a wide variety of institutions
ranging from a central bank to commercial banks and to specialized agencies to cater for
special requirements of specific sectors. Major factors like global financial disorder, economic
slowdown and strict monetary policy were on the top but Pakistani bank cater all these
problems. HMB is one of the top ten banks it is expected to play a major role in pioneering
these newer markets. We expect to see mergers and takeovers in the industry because of the
minimum capital requirement of PKR 6 billion, by the end of Fiscal Year 09, set by State
Bank of Pakistan. Secondly because the auto loan and personal loan business suffered such
heavy losses banks are looking for new avenues to generate income.
Habib Metropolitan Bank was incorporated in Pakistan as a Public Listed Company in 1992
under the name, Metropolitan Bank Limited. The Bank began duly licensed, full scheduled
commercial-banking operations in Oct 1992. From Oct 1992 to Sep 2006, remained a highly

HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK
June 2009
Liquidity Ratios:
Advances to deposit ratio has been decreased in 2007 due to the reason that advances are
increased by 8% and deposits are increased by 18%. In 2008 the ratio has increased because advances
are increased by 21% and deposits are increased by 6%. In 2009 first quarter the ratio is increased by
14% because advances are increased by 6% and deposits are increased by 7%.
Earning Assets to Assets ratio has increased in 2007 because earning assets are increased by 21%
and total assets are increased by 18%. In 2008 the ratio has fallen because earning assets are increased
by 4% and total assets are increased by 5% so the ratio has decreased. In 2009 the ratio was increased
because there is a significant increase in the earning assets i.e. 5.87% increase.
Yield on Earning Assets has increased from 0.057 to 0.077 in 2007 from 2006, the reasons for the
increase are the yield on assets were increased by 64% and the earning assets are increased by 21% so
the ratio has increased. In 2008 the ratio has further increased because yield is increased by 32% and
earning assets are increased by 4% only.
Solvency Ratios:
Equity to assets ratio is increased in2007 because equity is increased by 24% and assets are
increased by 16%. In 2008 the ratio has further increased because equity is increased by 12% and
assets are increased by 5%. In 2009 the ratio has further increased by 7.88% because the assets are
increased by 3.79% while the equity is increased by 11.97% so increase came in ratio.
Equity to Deposit ratio is increased in 2007 because equity is increased by 24% and deposits are
increased by 18% and in 2008 the ratio has further increased because equity has increased by 12%
and deposits are increased only by 6%. In 2009 first quarter, it has increased by 20.47%, the reason
for the increase is deposits are decreased by 7.05% and equity is increased by 11.97%.
Earning Assets to Deposits ratio is increased in 2007 due to the reason that earning assets are
increased by 21% and deposits are increased by 18%. Ratio is decreased in 2008 because earning
assets are increased by 4% and deposits are increased by 6%. In 2009 the ratio increased by 13.90%
because earning assets are increased by 5.87% and deposits are decreased by 7.05%.
Cash Assets and Govt. Securities to total assets ratio: In 2008 the ratio slightly increased because
cash assets and govt. securities are increased by 12% and total assets are increased by 5%. In 2009 it’s
decreased by 16.45% because Cash assets and govt. securities are decreased by 13.28% while the
asset increased by 3.79%, the ratio is low because this is for the 3 months.
• Debt to equity
Debt to Assets ratio has slightly decreased in 2007 because debts are increased by 15.60% and assets
are increased by 16.30%. In 2008 the ratio has further decreased because of the reason that debts are
increased by 4.80% and assets are increased by 5.30% so the main reason for the decreasing trend is
increase in assets more than debts. In 2009 the ratio is decreased by 0.71% because the debts are
increased by 3.05% and assets are increased by 3.79%.
Debt to equity ratio has decreased in 2007 due to the reason that debts are increased by 15.60% and
equity by 24.40%. In 2008 the ratio is further decreased due to the reason that debts are increased by

Profitability Ratios:
Mar-09 2008 2007 2006
Net interest Margin 0.93% 2.73% 2.15% 1.93%
Non interest Margin -0.01% 0.56% 0.53% 0.26%
Assets Utilization 3% 11% 9% 6%
Equity Multiplier 11.18 12.06 12.79 13.68

Asset Management efficiency 2.92% 11.06% 8.77% 6.07%
Funds Management efficiency 11.18 12.06 12.79 13.68
Net Interest Margin increased 0.22% from 2006 to 2007 and further increased seen in 2008 which is
0.58%. In 2009 net-interest margin is only 0.93% because it’s for only 3 month.
Asset utilization ratio From 2007 to 08 the ratio further increased by 26.16% because interest
income is increased by 32% and non-interest income is increased by 35% while the assets are
increased by 5.35%. In 2009 the ratio is seen to be decreased by 73.58% but this is because incomes
are for three months. If we examine the quarter’s performance then we can say that this is better
because interest income is 17% increased and non-interest income is decreased by 17% so higher
performance is seen in interest income and depressing in non-interest income.
Equity Multiplier ratio: In 2007-8 the ratio was decreased by 5.65% because assets are increased by
5.35% and equity by 11.66%. In 2009 the ratio was again decreased by 7.31% because assets are
increased by 3.79% and the equity is increased by 11.97%.
Net Operation Margins: In 2008 the ratio was further increased by 7.09% because operating profit
increased by 13% and assets are increased by 5.35%. In 2009 first quarter the ratio is less because we
have taken three months profit before tax. In actual this profit is increased by 19%.
Tax Management Efficiency ratio: In 2008 the ratio is increased by 3.92% because profit before tax
is increased by 13% and profit after tax is increased by 17%. In 2009 the ratio is decreased by 5.37%
because this is for three months profit and other reasons are profit before tax is increased by 19% and
profit after tax is increased by 12%.
Expense Control efficiency ratio is decreased by 20.63% in 2006-07 because reasons are profit
before tax is increased by 34% while interest income increased by 64% and non-interest income
increased by 83%. In 2008 the ratio decreased by 11.79% because profit before tax increased by 13%
while interest income is increased by 32% and non-interest income is increased by 35%. In 2009 the
ratio is again increased by 2.57% because profit before tax is increased by 19% while interest income
is increased by 17% and non-interest income is decreased by 17%.
Asset Management Efficiency ratio is increased by 44.5% because interest income is increased by
64% and non-interest income is increased by 83% and assets are increased by 16.28%. In 2008 the
ratio is further increased by 26.16% because interest income is increased by 32% and non-interest
income is increased by 35%and assets are increased by 5.35%. In 2009 the ratio is seen to be
decreased by 73.58% but in real sense this is not as because incomes are for the first three months of
the current financial year.
Fund Management Efficiency ratio is decreased by 6.52% because funds are increased by 16.28%
and equity is increased by 24.38%. In 2008 the ratio is further decreased by 5.65% funds are increased
by 5.35% and equity is increased by 11.66%. In 2009 the ratio is again decreased by 7.31% funds are
increased by 3.79% and equity is increased by 11.97%.
EARNINGS RATIOS:
Mar-09 2008 2007 2006
Return on deposits 0.008 0.026 0.023 0.020
Return on assets 0.005 0.018 0.016 0.014
Earning spread 0.010 0.029 0.022 0.023
Return to deposit ratio is increased by 12.92% in year 2007, this is because return is increased by
33% and deposits are increased by 18.12%. In 2008 the ratio is further increased by 10.78% because
return is increased by 17% and deposits are increased by 5.83%.
Return on assets is increased by 14.72% in 2007 because there is a large increase in profitability by
33% and assets are also increased by 16.28%. In 2008 the ratio is further increased by 11.29%
because the profitability is increased by 17% and assets by 5.35%. In 2009 the ratio is seen to be
decreased but this is not in real sense because profits are for three months.
Earning spread decreased very smaller in 2006-07, this is all because of increase in interest expenses
by 87% and an increase in interest bearing liabilities by 14%, due to the major increase in interest
expenses, earning spread has decreased but total interest income increased by 64% and total assets by
16%has caused decrease in Earning spread. In 2008 earning spread has increased to 0.029, the reason
is increase in interest income by 32%and also total interest expense to total interest bearing bank
liabilities are increased, therefore, Spread earning has increased. In 2009 the ratio is 0.01 but if we
check, then we come to know that ratio is 0.038 which is much higher because interest income
increased by 17% and interest expenses increased by 5%.
Return on Equity:
Mar-09 2008 2007 2006
Net income after taxes 1,896,974 3,279,736 2,797,408 2,097,203
Total equity capital 16,904,052 15,096,526 13,519,90 10,869,426

ROE 0.11 0.22 0.21 0.19
ROE
The ROE was 0.19 in 2006, it has been improved in 2007 to 0.21 and further a smaller increase is
found in 2008.If we examine it, this is due to the increase in net income after tax, there was also
smaller increase in Equity Capital. In 2009, profits are increased by 131% but the ROE is low because
we have calculated on three months profit basis. It is much higher in real sense.
Breakdown Analysis of ROE:
Mar-09 2008 2007 2006
Net profit margin 0.34 0.16 0.18 0.23
Assets utilization 0.03 0.11 0.09 0.06
Equity multiplier 11 12 13 14
ROE 0.112 0.217 0.207 0.193
If we see 3 step ROE, we find that the increase in ROE from 2006-07 is due to the Asset utilization
margin, and equity multiplier and net profit margin decreased slightly. From 2007-08 the ROE has
been increased slightly due to the reasons of increase in Assets, and further a smaller decrease in Net
Profit Margin and Equity Multiplier. In 2009 first quarter the ROE is increased in real sense because
Net profit margin is increased and assets utilization is also increased and equity multiplier is also
higher because all of these figures are for first quarter.
EFFICIENCY RATIO:
Operating Efficiency ratio is decreased by 9.06% in 2006-07. In 2008 the ratio is increased by 7.08
because operating expenses are increased by 44% and operating income is increased by 35%. In 2009
the ratio is further increased by 35.07%, note that this is not in real sense because the operating
income/ expenses are for three months.
Employee Productivity ratio is increased by 14.12% in 2007 because pre-tax profit has been
increased by 34% and no of employees was 2300. In 2008 the ratio is further increased by 4.93%
because pre-tax profit has been increased by 13% and no of employees was 2473. In 2009 the ratio is
further decreased by 70.60% because pre-tax profit has been increased by 19% and no. of employees
was 2500.
PROFITABILITY PERFORMANCES:
• While comparing it with its Peer group, the ROE of our bank in 2006-07 is low than peer group,
the increase in ROE from 2006 to 2007 is due to the Asset utilization margin, and equity

multiplier and net profit margin are decreased faintly. From year 2007 to 2008 the ROE has been
increased slightly due to the reasons of increase in Assets, and further a smaller decrease in Net
Profit Margin and Equity Multiplier. So we can say that our ROE is increasing and it is not due to
highly leverage but the bank is increasing its capital.
• ROA of our bank was less in 2006 but improved and crossed the peers because we have earned
more and our profits are increased by 33% in 2007 and 17% in 2008 so our ROA has improved
and crossed the peers’.
• Net interest margin of HMB is low than peers because HMB do not invest in risky opportunity
that’s why the margin is low than peers. It is widely known that higher the risk will give you
higher return but they do not take more risk and emphasize on liquidity.
• Non interest margin of almost all the banks are in negative and it is positive of HMB, they are
earning more from non-interest sources, also this is an objective of every bank so they are leading.
• Net operating margin of HMB was low in 2006 and increased than from peers, because they have
properly controlled on their expenses and introduced new technology to reduce the transactions
and other costs.
• Earnings per share of HMB was low than peer in 2006 and improved and crossed the peers,
because they have increased their profitability and controlled the expenditures and properly
plowed back and therefore, they have increased the shareholders wealth.
• Earning spread of HMB is low than peer in all the years from 2006 to 2008 because their interest
income is low, the reason for the low is they do not invest in risky portfolios they invest very
keenly and prefer the liquidity due to this the world economic recession has also not affected
badly to HMB unlike other banks in the Pakistan market.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management sides are implanted in the Bank’s strategy, organization structure and processes.
The HMB has adopted a solid risk management structure for credit, operations, liquidity and market
risk to support the process and system.
Credit risk:
The HMB strategy is to minimize credit risk through a strong pre-disbursement credit analysis,
approval and risk measurement process added with product, geography and customer diversification.
The Bank, as its strategic preference, provides loans only to strong parties. Major portion of the Bank
credit portfolio is Textile industry (54%) which is highly profitable business in Pakistan but it may
riskier and not a good diversification of portfolio, if textile industry slump then it will crash the whole
bank. The bank has very low rate of Non-performing loans. The ratios of risks are as under and we
can see that they reduce the risk as per their objective.
Market risk:
Market risk is the possibility that fluctuation in interest rates, foreign exchange or stock prices will
change the market value of financial products leading to a loss. The HMB has formalized liquidity
and market risk management policies which contain action plans to strengthen the market risk
management system.
