COMMENTARY
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Sasfin is a bank-controlling company listed in the "Financials: Investment Services" sector of the JSE Limited ("the JSE"). Sasfin's subsidiaries
provide a wide range of complementary banking, financial and related services.
BUSINESS REVIEW: GROUP PERFORMANCE
Business environment:
- South African commerce and industry faced a challenging economic environment, with continued high levels of global weakness
and labour unrest across many sectors. Coupled with escalating energy prices, South Africa's competitive edge is being undermined.
These factors materially affected the domestic markets and heightened concerns of the growth needed to stimulate the employment
levels, whilst consumer borrowing levels have reached unsustainable levels.
- Notwithstanding the negative and uncertain global banking environment, the South African banking industry remains in good shape
when compared to the rest of the world, due to the sound regulatory and supervisory framework and strong capital levels of the local
banks.
Group overview:
- Sasfin has delivered a positive set of results with a profit of R153 million (2012: R133 million) for the year and significantly strengthened
its balance sheet.
- Total assets grew by 14% to R6,3 billion year on year, underpinned by further growth in the Business Banking division, where loans and
advances reached R3,4 billion, a 17% increase over 2012.
- The Group enhanced its financial position by expanding and lengthening its funding base, which reflected a healthy surplus liquidity
position of R1,6 billion (2012: R1,5 billion).
- A combination of strong revenue growth, tightened cost control and a lower tax charge, helped Group headline earnings to grow by
22% to R135 million (2012: 16% to R111 million), and headline earnings per share came in at 421 cents (2012: 344 cents) showing a
similar increase.
- The Group benefited from a lower tax charge of 20% (2012: 24%) in the current year largely attributable to changes in secondary tax
on companies, prior year overprovisions and some revenue streams at lower tax rates.
- Total income grew by an encouraging 16% for the year, driven by the Group's increasing top-line growth initiatives and expansion
of the non-interest revenue base, which achieved a 19% increase over the corresponding period in 2012 largely due to improved
performance in the non-banking activities of the Group.
- Group costs reflect an 18% increase over 2012, largely due to the cost base of IQuad Group Limited having been consolidated into the
Group for the full financial year, increased software amortisation costs and staff growth. Excluding the IQuad cost base, a cost increase
of 11% year on year was recorded to support the growth initiatives of the Group. The cost-to-revenue ratio in the Banking Group has
shown a positive downward trend from 71% to 62% and is now within the Bank's target range of below 65%.
Segmental overview:
- The Business Banking division delivered a solid set of results, with profits for the year of R90 million, albeit marginally lower than 2012
at R91 million. The key factors behind this performance were strong growth in loans and advances, margin retention and a below-
budget impairment charge. This unit's profitability, which accounts for 59% of the Group's profit, was impacted by a higher credit loss
ratio that crept up by 35 bps to 58 bps for the year and due to growth in the lending book coming in at the tail-end of the financial
year. Non-performing loans showed a downward trend to 5,6% at June 2013 from 6,4% in June 2012. Following the investments made
in this division, the unit is poised for sustained growth in the 2014 financial year and beyond.
- The Wealth Management division achieved impressive profit growth from R31 million to R46 million, an improvement of 46% year on
year. The Stockbroking unit experienced an increase in local and global managed portfolios resulting in improved annuity income.
The Asset Management unit developed a fully-fledged offering with an effective distribution channel. The Wealth Management
division, which recently brought on board an experienced fixed income and bond trading team, is well positioned to become a key
profit driver for the Group. Funds under advisement and management now amount to R72 billion (2012: R55 billion), an increase of
31% from 2012.
- The Treasury division, whilst growing its deposit base by a satisfactory 21% to R2,2 billion, continued to grow its foreign exchange
business through an expanded regional footprint and new sales channels. These combined efforts resulted in the division achieving a
positive contribution to Group profits.
- The Capital division, following two years of disappointing results, is showing signs of recovery, having addressed its legacy private
equity issues. The division showed an increase in earnings to R9,4 million from a break-even position in 2012, aided by an improved
performance from the Corporate Finance unit.
- The Commercial Solutions division, which comprises the logistics, foreign exchange risk management, short-term insurance,
healthcare consulting and business advisory activities of the Group, produced an outstanding set of results with earnings growing
by 75% to R34 million. This was primarily due to a strong performance from the wholly-owned IQuad Group Limited, renamed
Sasfin Commercial Solutions Limited, which has been fully integrated into the Group. This segment is growing encouragingly and
achieving scale, and has become a meaningful contributor to the Group's earnings.
Statement of Financial Position, Capital and Liquidity:
- The Group's deposit and funding base continued to grow, with an improved deposit mix and maturity profile. Overall, the Group's
funding position remains healthy with a diversified funding base of R4,4 billion, up from R3,9 billion of last year.
- This funding base enhances the ability of Sasfin Bank Limited ("the Bank") to meet the stringent Basel III liquidity requirements of
liquidity coverage ratio and the net stable funding ratio in a sustainable manner. The Group's liquidity position remains very healthy
with adequate liquidity buffers held for stress situations that may arise.
- Sasfin's securitisation vehicle, a leader in its market, continues to perform well and has refinanced R240 million of maturing notes
at favourable terms during the financial year, and post year end a further R362 million. Both issues of refinance were
oversubscribed in excess of three times. The Group is building on its debt capital market capabilities and is exploring various
structured debt products to take to market.
- Whilst the Group's capital adequacy ratio has declined by 400 bps to 26% (2012: 30%) due to the new capital requirements of
Basel III and growth in assets, the Group remains well capitalised per Basel III which came into effect in January 2013, with a primary
tier I capital ratio of 23% (2012: 25.5%), which is the main measure of capital strength.
STRATEGIC UPDATE
The Group continues to focus on its growth strategy in response to the changing banking and regulatory landscape with a view to
broadening its franchise value. In this regard, the Group has implemented and embarked on the following initiatives:
- to continue to increase funding through both term deposits and debt capital market instruments to facilitate Sasfin's ongoing growth;
- to profitably grow its existing divisions, thereby benefiting from economies of scale as each unit approaches optimal levels of critical
mass, without compromising its standards of quality or risk, thereby improving efficiency and return on equity ratios;
- to investigate prospective products and markets with a view to expanding Sasfin's product range and penetrating new markets;
- to improve its BEE status, which due to revised targets under the generic codes, has slipped from level four to level six;
- to continue to upgrade its IT infrastructure to improve efficiency and client service; and
- to set up a new division to provide a focused transactional banking service offering.
PROSPECTS
- Sasfin is well positioned to grow its franchise value and enhance its value proposition to its target markets of entrepreneurial, private,
business, corporate and institutional clients.
- Despite the prevailing levels of uncertainty and constrained growth in the economy, the Group expects to see improved levels of
business activity across all segments based on current market conditions.
- Sasfin's growth trajectory is indeed sustainable on the back of its strong infrastructure and capital position, improved liquidity,
diversified funding base and high-touch banking and financial services model.
