FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS OF JANATA BANK

PERFORMANCE IN BANGLADESH

Chapter1-Introduction

Abstract
This paper investigates the performance of Janata Bank for the period of 1995-2004. Financial
ratios are employed to measure the profitability, liquidity and credit quality performance of
Janata bank. The study found that overall bank performance increased considerably in the year
by year of the analysis. A significant change in trend is noticed at the onset of the global financial

crisis in 2007, reaching its peak during 2008-2009. This resulted in falling profitability, low
liquidity and deteriorating credit quality in the South African Banking sector.
1.Introduction
Banks are the backbone of the global economy, providing capital for innovation, infrastructure,
job creation and overall prosperity. Banks also play an integral role in society, affecting not only
spending by individual consumers, but also the growth of entire industries. The operations of
banks are known as one of the most important economic activity in the world. Any activity
which requires investments and financial resources undoubtedly requires the involvement of
banks and financial institutions. Thus, banks have the central role in the economy. The financial
environment of any economy consists of typically five components, namely: money, financial
instruments, financial institutions, rules and regulations and financial markets. Among the
various financial institutions, banks are a fundamental component and the most active players in
the financial system.
This study evaluates performance for the period 1995-2004 using financial ratio analysis of
janata bank. Financial ratios enable us to identify unique bank strengths and weaknesses, which
in itself inform bank profitability, liquidity and credit quality.
History of janata Bank
1.1Background
With the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent, sovereign state in 1971 after a devastating
nine month war against the West Pakistani occupation army, a war, full of blood and tears,
trauma and pain of millions of our beloved ones, the legacy of rebuilding the already broken
financial base of the country was felt as an urgent call of the day against a collapsed economic
reality of a newly born state.
1.2Inception
In this backdrop, in order to rebuild the countrys economy, measures had been taken to merge a
number of banks previously operated in this region and make new banks and this initiatives led
to formation of Janata Bank in 1972 by combining the erstwhile United Bank Limited and Union
Bank Limited under the Banks Nationalization Order (Presidents Order No. 26) of 1972.

1.3Corporatization
In 15 November, 2007 Janata Bank got registered with the Joint Stock of Registrars and
restructured it as a public limited company with the name Janata Bank Limited.
1.4 Roundup
Including 4 overseas branches in United Arab Emirates Janata Bank runs its business with 906
branches across the country having a big family of around 14,244 (As on 01.05.2015) employees
with its head office located at Janata Bhaban at Motijheel C/A, the heart of the capital city,
Dhaka.
At the end of 2014 the Bank held Deposit BDT 5,16,010 million, Advance BDT 3,19,773 million
with Authorized capital BDT 30,000 million and Paid-up Capital BDT 19,140 million.
Janata Bank Limited, a corporate body trusted over the years, the 2nd largest (in respect of
Deposits/Assets) commercial bank in Bangladesh, has been playing pivotal role in overall
financial activities of the country and is possessing a long heritage of discharging laudable
services to the society since her embankment immediately after the emergence of this verdant
rich alluvial soil as a sovereign, independent state.
The contribution of the Bank to the national economy and social reform has set standard bar so
high that others in this business cant help aspire touching the benchmark of success earned by
JBL. More so a matter of great honour is that the contribution, commitment and success of the
Bank have been recognized with a number of prestigious awards by national and international
organizations of repute.

2.The Banking in Bangladesh

The Jews in Jerusalem introduced a kind of banking in the form of money lending before the
birth of Christ. The word bank was probably derived from the word bench as during ancient
time Jews used to do money -lending business sitting on long benches. First modern banking was
introduced in 1668 in Stockholm as Svingss Pis Bank which opened up a new era of banking
activities throughout the European Mainland. In the South Asian region, early banking system
was introduced by the Afghan traders popularly known as Kabuliwallas. Muslim businessmen

from Kabul, Afghanistan came to India and started money lending business in exchange of
interest sometime in 1312 A.D. They were known as Kabuliwallas.

PERFORMANCE IN BANGLADESH

Chapter3: Previous research on bank performance

3.Previous research on bank performance

Bhattacharya (2007) pointed out that six major recent Policy measures include: reduction of bank
rate and lending rate, linking classified loans to large loan sanctioning; rationalization and
merger of bank branches, measures for loan recovery, and demarcation of responsibilities
between the management and the board and decision on cash reserve ratio.

Jahangir, Shill and Haque (2007) stated that the traditional measure of profitability through
stockholders equity is quite different in banking industry from any other sector of business,
where loan-to-deposit ratio works as a very good indicator of banks' profitability as it depicts the
status of asset-liability management of banks. But banks' risk is not only associated with this
asset liability management but also related to growth opportunity. Smooth growth ensures higher
future returns to holders and there lies the profitability which means not only current profits but
future returns as well. So, market size and market concentration index along with return to
equity and loan-to-deposit ratio grab the attention of analyzing the banks profitability.
Chowdhury and Islam (2007) stated that deposits and loan advances of Nationalized Commercial
Banks (NCBs) are less sensitive to interest changes than those of Specialized Banks (SBs). So
SBs should not make abrupt change in lending or deposit rates by following the NCBs. If NCBs
change their lending or deposit rates, their deposits or loans and advances will be affected less
than those of SBs. Moreover, deposits of NCBs have higher volume and higher volatility than
those of SBs. On the other hand, loans advances of NCBs show a higher volume and higher
volatility than those of SBs. However, SBs offer higher deposit rates and charge higher lending
rates than NCBs. That is why the interest rate spread of SBs was higher than that of NCBs.

Chowdhury (2002) pointed that the banking industry of Bangladesh is a mixed one comprising
nationalized, private and foreign commercial banks. Many efforts have been made to explain the
performance of these banks. Understanding the performance of banks requires knowledge about
the profitability and the relationships between variables like market size, bank's risk and bank's
market size with profitability. Indeed, the performance evaluation of commercial banks is
14

especially important today because of the fierce competition. The banking industry is
experiencing major transition for the last two decades. It is becoming imperative for banks to
endure the pressure arising from both internal and external factors and prove to be profitable.

According to Al-Shamrnari and Salirni (1998) profitability ratio especially return on equity
(ROE) signals the earning capability of the organization. They also suggest that higher return on
equity (ROE) ratio is appreciable as it is the primary indicator of bank's profitability and
functional efficiency.
Bhatt & Ghosh (1992), observed that the profitability of commercial banks depend on several
factors some of them are endogenous and some exogenous. The endogenous factors represent
control of expenditure, expansion of banking business, timely recovery of loans and productivity.
The exogenous factors consist of direct investments such as SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio),
CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) and directed credit programs such as region wise, population wise
guidelines on lending to priority sectors. The regulated and restricted regime in the operation of
banking system in terms of investment, credit allocation, branch expansion, interest rate
determination and internal management eroded the productivity and profitability of commercial
banks.

Chapter4: Methodology and Data

16

4.Methodology of the study

The study is performed based on the information extracted from different sources collected by
using a specific methodology. To fulfill the objectives of this report total methodology has
divided into two major parts:
4.1.1Data Collection Procedure:
In order to make the report more meaningful and presentable, two sources of data and
information have been used widely. The Primary Sources are as follows: I have discussed with my supervisor of JBL.
Relevant file study as provided by the officers concerned.
Sharing practical knowledge of officials.
In-depth study of selected cases.
The secondary Sources are as follows: Annual report of Janata Bank Limited
Periodicals Published by Bangladesh Bank
Office files and documents
Study related books and journals
Web sites
4.1.2Data Processing & Analysis:
Collected information have then processed & compiled with the aid of MS Word, Excel & other
related computer software. Necessary tables have been prepared on the basis of collected data
and various statistical techniques have been applied to analyses on the basis of classified
information. Detail explanation and analysis have also been incorporated in the report.

17

4.2The Variables
4.2.1Profitability Performance
The most common measure of bank performance is profitability. Profitability is measured using
the following criteria:
Return on Assets (ROA) = net profit/total assets shows the ability of management to acquire
deposits at a reasonable cost and invest them in profitable investments. This ratio indicates how
much net income is generated per taka of assets. The higher the ROA, the more the profitable the
bank.
Return on Equity (ROE) = net profit/ total equity. ROE is the most important indicator of a
banks profitability and growth potential. It is the rate of return to shareholders or the percentage
return on each of equity invested in the bank.
Cost to Income Ratio (C/I) = total cost /total income measures the income generated per taka
cost. That is how expensive it is for the bank to produce a unit of output. The lower the C/I ratio,
the better the performance of the bank.

4.2.2 Liquidity performance

Liquidity indicates the ability of the bank to meet its financial obligations in a timely and
effective manner. Samad states that liquidity is the life and blood of a bank. Financial
liabilities are attracted through retail and wholesale distribution channels. Retail generated
funding is considered less interest elastic and more reliable than deposits attracted from
wholesale distribution channels. The following ratios are used to measure liquidity.
Liquid assets to deposit-borrowing ratio (LADST) = liquid asset/customer deposit and short term
borrowed funds. This ratio indicates the percentage of short term obligations that could be met
with the banks liquid assets in the case of sudden withdrawals.
Net Loans to total asset ratio (NLTA) = Net loans/total assets NLTA measures the percentage of
assets that is tied up in loans. The higher the ratio, the less liquid the bank is.
Net loans to deposit and borrowing (NLDST) = Net loans/total deposits and short term
borrowings. This ratio indicates the percentage of the total deposits locked into non-liquid assets.
A high figure denotes lower liquidity.

18

4.2.3Asset Credit Quality (Credit Performance)

While it is expected that banks would bear some bad loans and losses in their lending activities,
one of the key objectives of the bank is to minimize such losses. Credit performance evaluates
the risks associated with the banks asset portfolio the quality of loans issued by the bank.
Several ratios can be used for measuring credit quality however, not all information on the loans
is always available. Non-performing loans is not available for all banks therefore this paper use
the following ratio:
Loan loss reserve to gross loans (LRGL) = Loan loss reserve/gross loans. This ratio indicates the
proportion of the total portfolio that has been set aside but not charged off. It is a reserve for
losses expressed as a percentage of total loans.

This section presents and discusses the results

There are various groups of people who are interested in analysis of financial
position of accompany. They use the ratio analysis to work out a particular
financial characteristic of the company or Bank in which they are interested. Ratio
analysis helps the various groups in the following manner: To work out the
profitability: Accounting ratio help to measure the profitability of the business by
calculating the various profitability ratios. It helps the management to know about
the earning capacity of the business concern.

In the figure 1 show that Return on Assets (ROA) of Janata bank was .01% in the year of 1995.
In the year 1996 Return on Assets is the same position .01%. Janata bank believes that the banks
profitability remained favorable in 1996. Return on assets increased by .01 % from .01%in 1996
to .02% in 1997 before slightly falling to .01% in 1999. From 1999 to 2003 Janata Bank Return
on Assets was .01%. In 2004, Return on assets decreased by .01 % from .01% in 2003 to 0% in
2004. In the year 2004, Janata Banks net profit was 0 so their Return on Assets was o%. Loans
and advances were the main contributors to the increase in assets mainly due to increase in
mortgage loans. The higher ratios indicate a better prospective.

by .09 % from .10% to .19% at 1997. Profitable performance consequence increase from 1997 to
2003 and Return on Equity reach at .66%. In those year Janata Bank performance was profitable
because the higher ratios indicate a better prospective but in the year 2004 Janata Bank
performance was not profitable. This year Janata Bank Return on Equity 0% it indicate there is
no profit in this year.

The trend reflected by ROA and ROE is also reflected in the cost to income ratio, which is
99.94%at 1995 and 99.38% at 1997 and 98.94 at 1997. The ratio continued to show signs
of improvement, it strengthened by 8.56% from 98.94 in 1997 to 90.38

in 2008. This

improvement continues at 2000 by decreasing 15.82% from 90.94 to 74.56 at 2000. In 2001,
Cost to Income Ratio again increased by 12.29% from 74.56 to 86.85. After that Cost to Income
Ratio consequence decrease from 2002 to 2004 reach at 57.45%. The lower the C/I ratio, the
better the performance of the bank. So Janata Bank performance was good after 2001.

24

5.2 Liquidity performance

Liquidity performance measures the ability to meet financial obligations as they become due and
is crucial to the sustained viability of banking institutions. What began as credit concerns for the
US sub-prime market developed into concerns in global credit markets with unknown financial
exposures and potential losses. The resultant uncertainty made financial market participants
exceedingly risk averse, such that they were unwilling to invest in any markets or financial
instruments other than safe havens. This severely reduced the levels of liquidity in the global
financial markets. shows the liquidity trend in terms of average net loan to total assets ratio
(NLTA), net loan to deposit and short term borrowing ratio (NLDST), and liquid assets to
deposits and short term borrowing ratio (LADST).

1996 to 58.13 in 1997 indicating a fall in the amount of customer and short term funds that could
be met if they were suddenly withdrawn. In 1999 Net loans to deposit and borrowing ratio
increase by18.29% from 58.29 in 1997 to 76.42 in 1999. After 1999 Net loans to deposit and
