Highlights 107.0 5.4 18.1 19.7 5.9 100,349 54.7 /114.0 The Saudi British Bank (SABB) showed an encouraging 1Q08 results posting YoY net income increase of 23% (from SR616mn in 1Q-07 to SR757mn in 1Q-08), which was in contrast to the net income decline of 14% in FY07. During 1Q-2008, the banks balance sheet continued to grow showing YoY increase of 33.8% and YTD growth of 8.3% (from SR98.2bn in FY07 to SR106.4bn in 1Q08).

The bank recorded (FY07) special commission income increase of 18% and special commission expense rise of 17%, which led to net special commission income growth of 18% (from SR2.6bn in 2006 to SR3.1bn in 2007). The drop in non-interest income (FY07) was mainly due to 48% decline in fees from banking services (from SR1.7bn in 2006 to SR0.9bn in 2007), which was a direct consequence of dampened trading activity at Tadawul and intensifying market competition. A considerable pressure on non-interest income was the major dampener for the banks subdued net income that decreased by 14.3% (from SR3.0bn in 2006 to SR2.6bn in 2007). The declined protability also led to drop in EPS from SR5.07 in 2006 to SR4.34 in 2007, and lower return ratios of ROAA and ROAE. SABB total assets posting CAGR (2004-07) of 19%, showed an annual growth of 27% rising from SR77.2bn in 2006 to SR98.2bn in 2007. A signicant portion (63%) of the banks assets was generated through Net Loans & Advances, which showed a growth of 46% (from SR42.5bn in 2006 to SR62.0bn in 2007).

The customer deposits (FY07) constituting 73% of SABBs funding sources showed an annual growth of 17% rising from SR59.3bn in 2006 to SR71.8bn in 2007. Although SABB remains an adequately capitalized bank with TIER-1 capital of SR10.4bn, the drop in TIER-1 ratio from 17.9% in 2006 to 13.5% in 2007 signals the rise of riskweighted assets in the portfolio. The increase in NPLs by 19% (from SR165mn in 2006 to SR197mn in 2007), also led to drop in NPL coverage from 301% in 2006 to 290% in 2007. SABB showed an encouraging 1Q-08 performance, posting YoY increase of special commission income by 17% that was successfully translated into YoY net income rise of 23%. The improved results also led to rise in EPS (based on 600mn shares) from SR1.03 in 1Q-07 to SR1.26 in 1Q-08. Based on the combination of two (DDM & GGM) valuation techniques, SABB share reveals an estimated fair value of SR104.7 per share, which represents a discount of 2.2% to the current market price of SR107.0 per share (as on May 03, 2008). Thus, we maintain our earlier recommendation of Hold on the SABB stock with a medium term perspective.

Recent Developments In Apr 08, during the (SABB) EGM, the board approved the distribution of 60% bonus shares to the existing shareholders, raising the outstanding shares from 375mn to 600mn. The amendments to the banks articles of association was also approved during the meeting. In Feb-08, the bank appointed Mr. Saeed Al-Khuraimi as the General Manager. Besides that in the same month the bank also signed an agreement with HSBC Bank Middle East to set up a call center in Riyadh for offering banking services. In Jan-08, the bank announced the appointment of Mr.Richard Groves as Chief Operating Ofcer.

Ratings Update In Nov-07, Moodys Investors Service Agency announced the ratings for the bank. The bank was assigned Aa3 /P-1 with a stable outlook for its global local currency deposits, whereas the nancial strength /baseline credit assessment was placed at C /A3 ratings with a positive outlook.

Analysis of Financial Performance -FY07 Income Statement SABB FY07 net income posted a decline of 14.3% (from SR3.0bn in 2006 to SR2.6bn in 2007). The subdued performance was somewhat in tandem with the rest of the Saudi banking sector that broadly experienced a protability drop of 14.6%, mainly because of lower fee-based income (linked to dampened trading activity at Tadawul).

The banks special commission income showed an increase of 18% (from SR4.4bn in 2006 to SR5.2bn in 2007). It was mainly generated by income from loans & advances contributing 72% to the top-line. The rise in special commission expense by 17% was led by the higher amount of interest paid on customer deposits. At large, SABBs net special commission income increased by 18% (from SR2.6bn in 2006 to SR3.1bn in 2007). SABBs banking spreads were well maintained between FY06: 3.8% to FY07: 4.2% for the last couple of years. During FY07 the yield on earning assets of 7.1% along with the cost of commission bearing liabilities of 2.9%, resulted in SABBs banking spreads of 4.2% (as compared to FY06: 3.8%). Although the bank has shown improving spreads in 2007, going forward we expect the reduction in banking spreads across the industry (as the government in consonance with US Fed rate cut, continues to follow a similar stance in the Kingdom).

The banks encouraging performance was considerably depressed by the drop in (noninterest income) fees from banking services. The banking fees showed a signicant drop by 48% (from SR1,650mn in 2006 to SR862mn in 2007) that was largely because of reduction in share trading income. The bank also recorded a decrease in the income from fair value of nancial instruments from SR133mn in 2006 to SR64mn in 2007.

A considerable decrease of 34% in non-interest income led to the decrease of 9% in total operating income (from SR4,444mn in 2006 to SR4,036mn in 2007). The operating expenses posted an increase of 2%, whereas the reduced operating income led to a rise in expense to income ratio from 31.6% to 35.4%. SABBs subdued performance in FY07 had a considerable impact on the banks protability ratios. The growth in assets and equity base (at times of decreasing prots) led to ROAA decline from 4.2% in 2006 to 3.0% in 2007, and ROAE drop from 38.7% in 2006 to 28.9% in 2007. The bank posted an EPS (based on 600mn shares) of SR4.34 in 2007 as compared SR5.07 in 2006.

Balance sheet SABB has a market weight of around 3% of Tadawul listings. The bank with an asset base of SR98.2bn was able to capture 9.5% of the Saudi banking assets (FY07: SR1.0trn), and ranked 6th amongst the Saudi banks. The banks balance sheet footing strengthened over the years, posting three years (2004-07) CAGR of 19%. The total assets posted an annual growth of 27% rising from SR77.2bn in 2006 to SR98.2bn in 2007.

A signicant portion (63%) of the banks assets was comprised of Net Loans & Advances that posted a growth of 46% (from SR42.5bn in 2006 to SR62.0bn in 2007). The loan portfolio analysis shows that the bank has an increased focus with 26% lending to the commerce segment, followed by (20%) to consumer & credit card segment .

SABBs lending portfolio was dominated by commercial and consumer loan facilities having a contribution of 79% and 18%, respectively. The banks increase in NPLs by 19% (from SR165mn in 2006 to SR197mn in 2007) was mainly generated from commercial loans and overdraft facilities. The provisioning was raised by 15%, but the larger rise in non-performing loans led to a drop in NPL coverage from 301% in 2006 to 290% in 2007.

The shareholders equity contribution to the total assets stood at 10%. The shareholders equity continues to strengthen over the years posting CAGR of 21% (from SR5.4bn in 2004 to SR9.5bn in 2007). The increase in equity overtaken by the growth in Gross Loans led to decline in Equity to Gross Loans ratio from 20% in 2006 to 15% in 2007, implying the need to further boost the equity for covering any unexpected future losses.

Analysis of Financial Performance 1Q 2008 - SABB posting an encouraging YoY net income increase of 23% (from SR616mn in 1Q07 to SR757mn in 1Q-08), recorded a rise in EPS (based on 600mn shares) from SR1.03 in 1Q-07 to SR1.26 in 1Q-08. An increase in special commission income by 17% (from SR1,180mn in 1Q-07 to SR1,385mn in 1Q-08) was successfully translated into net income. Although the growth of business was accompanied by the rise of 13% in special commission expense, the net special commission income rose by 20% (from SR711mn in 1Q07 to SR854mn in 1Q08). Contrary to the impression that the increased competition from the fee-based activities in the Kingdom may add pressure on the banks earnings, SABB posted a signicant growth of 63% in fees from banking services (from SR205mn in 1Q-07 to SR334mn in 1Q-08). The lower provision for investment losses by 8% (from SR100mn in 1Q-07 to SR92mn in 1Q-08), accompanied by the banks encouraging results from the growth in quality loans and protable investment portfolio resulted in its rising prots.

Outlook & Valuation - After the relatively dampened market activity at Tadawul in 2007, going forward we expect a rising trend in the Saudi stock market activity. For banks in particular, the optimism is linked to the growth in Saudi economy on the back of all time high oil prices and the boost in public expenditure on mega infrastructure projects (oil and nonoil related). This will lead to both an increased nancing appetite and customer deposit base. SABB is well placed to derive maximum benet by expanding its lending activities as the mega-infrastructure projects activity picks up in the Kingdom. In order to jack up the fee income, the banks increased focus on structured nance deals, advisory, IPO management, loan syndication, insurance, etc. offer attractive growth avenues to pursue. As the bank continues to enhance its deposit base, its planned branch expansion and other alternative delivery channels are likely to assist the bank in further strengthening its deposit franchise. Based on the current market price (as on May 03, 2008) of SR107.0, SABB is trading at (2008E) P/E and P/BV multiples of 19.7x and 5.9x, respectively.

Our fair value for SABB is estimated to be SR104.7 per share, based on DDM (80%) and adaptation of the Gordon Growth Model (20%). According to our fair value the banking scrip is at a discount of 2.2% to the current market price of SR107.0 per share (as on May 03, 2008). Therefore, we maintain our earlier recommendation of Hold on the SABB stock with a medium term perspective.
