SIMPLICITY DELIVERED TRANSPARENTLY GIVES CONTROL
Capitec`s unique positioning and innovative approach to retail banking
gives clients control through transparent pricing and simplified products.
This approach has seen the number of active clients banking with Capitec
grow to 3.2 million.
Capitec`s retail footprint increased by 19 branches and 202 ATMssince
February 2011 and another 36 new branches are planned for the remainder of
the financial year.
Increases in loan revenue to R2.6 billion andnet transaction fee income to
R361 million, along with an improvement in the cost to income ratio to 46%,
resulted in earnings of R488 million, a 72% year-on-year increase.
TRANSACTING SERVICES
Net transaction fee income up 54% to R361 million
The market`s perception of South African banks, according to research
conducted by Finscope, is that technology and formsare complex, queues are
long and banking is expensive.
The reality is that clients want to feel that they have control over their
financial situation and they want their money to grow.
Capitec Bank is uniquely positioned to provide for the everyday banking
needs of every South African. Smaller branches with extended trading hours
positioned to ensure easier access provide unique service to clients.
Transacting is simplified and paperless. The product offering is easy to
understand, transaction charges are low and clients receive a return on
their savings from the first cent.
Acceptance of the Capitec solution is reflected in the increase in active
clients and growth in net transaction fee income to R361 million (August
2010: R235 million; February 2011: R297 million).
The growth in fee income exceeded growth in client numbers. The number of
clients using stop orders, debit orders and transfers grew by 47% year-on-
year and by 26% compared to the six months ended February 2011. Clients
using these transactions are also each doing a larger number of
transactions, therefore the fee income per client increased, despite the
bank not increasing these fees this year.
Income from the operation of card machines at retailers has shown
satisfactory growth in line with the 71% increase in devices in operation
since August 2010.
Transaction fee expenses, which include interchange and switch fees on ATM
and point-of-sale transactions, increased by less than gross transaction
fee income and totalled R230 million.
Net transaction fee income covered 31% of banking operating expenses
(August 2010: 27%). The target of 40% is in sight.
LENDING SERVICES
Loans advanced increased by 44% year-on-year to R9.2 billion
The South African unsecured lending market has continued to grow in 2011.
Credit disbursed during the first quarter grew by 55% to R28.5 billion.
This growth is within our expectations and meets the objective of the
National Credit Act to make credit available to consumers that did not have
access to credit prior to June 2007.In this growing market Capitec`s market
share grew to 20% (first quarter 2010: 16%).
Consumers` appetite for credit is expected to remain high as the demand for
formal housing and durable goods in an increasingly urbanised market
continues to grow. A September 2011 press release by the National Credit
Regulator indicated that enquiries on consumer credit records increased by
25.3% quarter-on-quarter and by 85% year-on-year for the second quarter of
2011.
Market conditions have led to continual increases in the term and value of
unsecured credit offered during the past 18 months. Since our 60-month
product launched in December 2010 it has contributed R3.0 billionin sales.
Loan products with terms of 12 months and longer now contribute 70% of
total sales (August 2010: 62%).
Despite the growth trend in the unsecured credit market it is still a
relatively new and unsophisticated market. For this reason weexplore the
opportunities presented by the current appetite for credit cautiously in
order to maintain a conservative risk profile and ensure that clients are
not over-indebted.
Arrears as a percentage of gross loans and advances down to 4.5%
The 86% year-on-year growth in our loan book to R14.5 billion was achieved
while maintaining the quality of the book. Loan book quality is managed
intensively and this constant focus means that trends are swiftly
identified and addressed.
Growth in the total loan book is expected to continue but should stabilise
as the loan books of our newer products mature.
The current appetite for credit along with the introduction of longer-term
products has increased the level of loan consolidations within the market
and this has further contributed to the increase in the average duration of
loans. The average term of loans advanced during the past six months was 31
months (August 2010: 21 months). Loans with terms of 12 months or longer
now comprise 95% of our total loan book (August 2010: 92%).
Strict monitoring of the loan book limited arrears at the end of August to
4.5% of the loan book (August 2010: 4.6%; February 2011: 5.7%).
The provision for doubtful debts as a percentage of the gross loan book is
7.6% (August 2010: 7.1%; February 2011: 7.7%). The increase compared to
August 2010 is attributable to the provisioning on the 60-month loan
product, which is only 9 months old. The decrease compared to February 2011
is in line with the decrease in arrears.
Net loan impairment expense increased by 68% but is down to 5.3% of average
gross loans and advances
The net loan impairment charge grew by 68% year-on-year and amounted to
R679 million. The net charge includes recoveries of R76 million which
increased by 73% year-on-year.
Our policy is to write off a client`s full outstanding loan balance if any
payment is in arrears for more than 90 days.
The gross loan impairment expense (before recoveries) grew year-on-year by
R308 million compared to book growth of R6.7 billion and by R114 million
compared to the six months ended February 2011. The table below analyses
the increases:
February August
Change compared to the six 2011 2010
months ended R`m R`m
Book growth 190 346
Improvement in book quality (55) (27)
Increased valuation of handed over book (21) (11)
Total 114 308
The netloan impairment expense as a percentage of average loans and
advances decreased to 5.3% (August 2010: 6.0%; February 2011: 6.3%).
The net impairment expense includes higher provisioning on the new and
growing loan books of the longer-term products. Although the 48 and 60-
month loan products are only extended to low risk clients and the
performance of these loan books is better than the more mature 36-month
loan product, prudent provisioning assumptions are applied. This is because
the impact of a missed instalment on a longer-term loan is more severe at
the beginning of the loan repayment period, as the full loan amount may be
at risk. The rate of provisioning on new loan products exceeds the rate at
which income is recognised at the beginning of the term of the loans.
Loan revenue up by 50% year-on-year to R2.6 billion
Interest income increased by 53% year-on-year to R1.9 billion (August 2010:
R1.3 billion; February 2011: R1.5 billion). The increase is mainly
attributable to the annuity impact of longer-term loans despite decreasing
yields due to a 1.5% decrease in the repo rate during the past 18 months.
Loan fee income increased by 35% year-on-year and by 23% compared to the
six months ended February 2011 to R820 million. Loan fee income consists of
origination fees and monthly administration fees. These fees were
positively impacted by the year-on-year increase of 28% in the number of
loans advanced.
The loan fee expense which represents the credit life and retrenchment
insurance cost borne by the bank for the benefit of its clients increased
to R96 million (August 2010: R60 million) due to the growth in the gross
loan book.
COST STRUCTURE
Cost to income ratio down to 46%
The cost to income ratio of banking activities improved to 46% from 51% for
the six months ended August 2010.
The addition of 52 branchesto the network and the increase inbranch and
support employees to 6 351 from 4 726contributed to the 36% year-on-year
increase in banking operating expenses.
Employment, premises, information technology, cash-handling and marketing
costs remain the major components of operating expenditure.
The contribution of employment costs to total operating expenditure
decreased by 2% year-on-year to 53% which is consistent with the six months
ended February 2011.Employment costs contributed R150 million to the year-
on-year increase in operating expenditure.
The cost of incentive schemes included in employment costs is reflected in
the table below:
Cost for the six August February August
months ended 2011 2011 2010
R`m R`m R`m
Share appreciation rights 76 57 64
Share options 6 6 6
Senior management (excluding strategic
management) performance bonus 16 4 13
Staff performance bonus 61 19 53
Total 159 86 136
There have been no changes to the incentive schemes since August 2009.
Share appreciation rights are cash-settled and the expense fluctuates
according to the Capitec share price. Share options are equity-settled and
the expense is therefore not subject to share price fluctuations. The
senior management performance scheme and the staff performance bonus scheme
are based on growth in headline earnings per share.
FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY
Retail funding remained on target at 60% of total funding
Retail call savings grew by 63% year-on-year to R5.0 billion. Growth
resulted from increased client numbers and a year-on-year increase of 16%
in the average savings balance per client.
Retail fixed savings grew by 67% year-on-year (February 2011: 35%) and
remains an attractive source of funding due to the lower cost. Retail fixed
savings totalled R3.1 billion at the end of August 2011 and comprised 36%
of total term funding (August 2010: 34%; February 2011: 37%).
The issuance of two bonds amounting to R1.3 billion under the Domestic
Medium Term Note Programme in May 2011 contributed to a year-on-year
increase of 51% in wholesale funding to R5.5 billion. Capital repayments
amounting to R490 million on the first two bonds issued in terms of this
programme were made in May 2011.
The remainder of the increase in wholesale funding relates to corporate
paper issued. Funding through corporate paper increased to R1.6 billion at
the end of August 2011 (August 2010: R594 million; February 2011: R842
million).
The funding strategy, as Capitec`s profile in the market continues to
improve, has been to match the duration of assets and liabilities. This
translated into the utilisation of funding instruments with more varied
maturities.
Liquidity management remained conservative
Retail call and fixed savings deposits increased substantially, in line
with the growth of the loan book. Despite difficult economic conditionsthe
bank has not experienced any volatility in its call savings base and on
average 41% of maturing fixed deposits are re-invested within two weeks.
The management of liquidity continues to take preference over the
optimisation of profitability and Capitec already complies with the two new
Basel 3 liquidity ratios: the liquidity coverage ratio and the net stable
funding ratio.
CAPITAL
Return on equity at 29%
The return on ordinary shareholders` equity remains well above target,
despite decreasing year-on-year (August 2010: 34%) as a result of an
increase of R1.1 billion in equity after a rights offer in January 2011.
The impact of the additional equity on the return on equity was softened by
the 72% year-on-year increase in earnings.
The risk-weighted capital adequacy ratio is 35% and the prior period ratios
were restated in line with standard Basel practice. We continuously review
the need for additional capital. The disclosure in terms of Regulation 43
of the Banks` Act is available on the Capitec Bank website.
PROSPECTS
Innovation is in our blood and will continue. Persistent focus should
maintain our success.
