Highest RoRWA (or internal capital generation rate) in the sector alongside CCB
4 ICBC’s RoRWA of 2.59% in 1H09 (annualised) is similar to CCB’s 2.46%, but higher than
other H-share banks’ 1.6-2.1%, mainly due to its lower off-balance-sheet and market-risk-

related RWA (9% of RWA vs peers’ 11-23%), reflecting its Rmb-/fee-income driven model.

1H09 results recap: strong earnings, despite a weak margin, due to good asset quality
ICBC reported a 2.9% yoy and 43.4% hoh rise in 1H09 net profit to Rmb66.424bn, 0.3%
above our estimates. Pre-provision profit dropped 6.6% yoy due to a 76bp drop in margin to
2.25% (management said July NIM was similar to 1H09 NIM), but net fee income rose a
robust 13.3%. The net NPL downgrade of Rmb3.2bn was similar to FY08’s Rmb7.6bn. Credit
cost was low at 37bp and NPL coverage rose to 138%, as the NPL balance dropped 4% ytd.

Country view Overweight Country rel to Asia Pacific

Growth concerns still dominate, especially with exports seemingly still bumping the bottom. We believe that fixed- 210

asset investment growth will have to provide the buffer, particularly as domestic consumption has hardly picked
190
up. That said, with the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China on 1 October this year, there is growing
sentiment that the country will meet its 8% GDP growth target, even if it comes at a price in the future. We believe 170

that lending growth can remain strong going forward, which should benefit the banks, while we also expect the 150

real-estate sector to see some upside.

130

The country view is set in consultation with the relevant company analyst but is the ultimate responsibility of the Strategy Team.

Competitive position Average competitive score: 4- Broker recommendations

Supplier power 5- 30
The deposit base appears largely fragmented, meaning suppliers have little collective influence. Deposit rate 25
ceilings are set by the PBOC to prevent negative competitive pricing.

Barriers to entry 5- 15
Barriers to entry are high, given strict regulatory controls in China, branch network costs over a very large 10
geography and increasing IT needs. 5
Customer power 3- 0
Borrowers are largely disorganised, so customer power is quite low except in relation to large or high-quality Buy Hold Sell
corporates. The minimum lending rates are set by the PBOC.

Substitute products 4-
Limited substitute products. The corporate debt market and fund management industry are still in the early stages
of development, although the trend is for increasing disintermediation.
Rivalry 3-
Competition is generally intense among banks, but the restrictions on lending and deposit rates have limited the
effects of competition on margins.

ICBC | Strategic and Competitive Overview | 22 September 2009

Recommendation structure
Absolute performance, short term (trading) recommendation: A Trading Buy recommendation implies upside of 5% or more and a Trading Sell indicates downside of 5% or more. The
trading recommendation time horizon is 0-60 days. For Australian coverage, a Trading Buy recommendation implies upside of 5% or more from the suggested entry price range, and a
Trading Sell recommendation implies downside of 5% or more from the suggested entry price range. The trading recommendation time horizon is 0-60 days.
Absolute performance, long term (fundamental) recommendation: The recommendation is based on implied upside/downside for the stock from the target price. A Buy/Sell implies
upside/downside of 10% or more and a Hold less than 10%. For UK Small/Mid-Cap Analysis a Buy/Sell implies upside/downside of 10% or more, an Add/Reduce 5-10% and a Hold less
than 5%. For UK-based Investment Funds research the recommendation structure is not based on upside/downside to the target price. Rather it is the subjective view of the analyst based
on an assessment of the resources and track record of the fund management company. For listed property trusts (LPT) or real estate investment trusts (REIT) the recommendation is
based upon the target price plus the dividend yield, ie total return.
Performance parameters and horizon: Given the volatility of share prices and our pre-disposition not to change recommendations frequently, these performance parameters should be
interpreted flexibly. Performance in this context only reflects capital appreciation and the horizon is 12 months. Sector relative to market: The sector view relative to the market is the
responsibility of the strategy team. Overweight/Underweight implies upside/downside of 10% or more and Neutral implies less than 10% upside/downside. Target price: The target price is
the level the stock should currently trade at if the market were to accept the analyst's view of the stock and if the necessary catalysts were in place to effect this change in perception within
the performance horizon. In this way, therefore, the target price abstracts from the need to take a view on the market or sector. If it is felt that the catalysts are not fully in place to effect a
re-rating of the stock to its warranted value, the target price will differ from 'fair' value.

Valuation and risks to target price

ICBC (RIC: 1398.HK, Rec: Buy, CP: HK$6.16, TP: HK$6.81): The key upside risk to our GGM-based target price is a stronger-than-expected rebound in the global economy leading to
upside to our asset quality and margin forecasts. Key downside risks are: 1) a relapse in the global economy and the benefits from China's stimulus package, which would lead to higher
NPL risk; and 2) faster-than-expected interest-rate liberalisation, which would lead to structural pressure.
