During the period under review we further expanded our Compliance,
Internal Audit, Information Technology, Human Capital Development and
Risk and Analysis Departments in order to effectively manage Finbond
Mutual Bank's Risk Management Framework. The bulk of the increased
expenses during the period under review relates to increasing
capacity and improving risk management functions and processes within
Finbond Mutual Bank.
We remain focused on executing the Group’s strategy and top business
priorities namely optimal capital utilization, earnings growth,
strict upfront credit scoring, good quality sales, effective
collections, cost containment and training and development of staff
members. This enabled us to achieve overall strong operational
results despite the current difficult and challenging business
environment.
Finbond continues to manage for the long term and to invest in
people, training, information technology, banking systems, compliance
systems as well as in enhanced collection strategies and systems, in
order to build a sustainable, professional business.
Finbond Mutual Bank
A “Mutual Bank”, also known as a “Mutual Savings Bank”, is a bank
which is operated on a mutual bank model, with the specific goal of
encouraging savings and providing benefits to its depositors.
Finbond Mutual Bank, with its 617 staff members and 200 branches,
specializes in the design and delivery of unique value and solution
based savings and credit solutions tailored around depositor and
borrower requirements rather than institutionalized policies and
practices. We exist to improve and transform the lives and
livelihoods of our clients by availing them of modern inclusive
banking products and services that benefit and empower them.
Finbond Mutual Bank conducts its business through two divisions
focused on:
1. Short and Medium Term Micro Credit Products; and
2. Investment and Savings Products.
Micro Credit Portfolio
The overall gross loan book reflected strong positive growth of 79.5%
ending the twelve month period at R298.7 million (Feb 2013: R166.5
million).
Total segment revenue from Finbond’s Micro Finance activities, made
up of interest, fee and insurance income (portfolio yield) increased
35.1% to R262.1 million (Feb 2013: R194 million).
During the period under review Finbond offered 1 month – 24 month
micro loans from R100 - R20,000 with an average loan size of R1,732
and an average tenure of 3.34 months (102 days). Given the short
term nature of Finbond’s products, Finbond’s loan portfolio is cash
flow generative and a good source of internally generated liquidity.
The whole loan portfolio turns nearly 4 times a year. This is a key
differentiator from longer term lenders. By way of example: If a
longer term lender’s average tenure is 36 months with a book size of
R600 million, that lender will collect R200 million cash per year and
R600 million over three years. If Finbond’s book is R600 million,
Finbond will collect approximately R2.4 billion in cash per year and
more than R7.2 billion in cash over three years.
For the twelve months ended February 2014 Finbond granted R539.3
million worth of loans and received cash payments of R709.5 million
from customers.
Finbond’s average loan period is significantly shorter than our
larger competitors and our average loan size significantly smaller.
Given this conservative approach, Finbond does not have any exposure
to the 36 – 84 month, R30,000 – R180,000 long term unsecured lending
market that saw disproportionate growth over the past 18 - 36 months
and that caused significantly increased write offs and bad debts.
Shorter term loans offer lower risk as consumers are more likely to
pay them back as opposed to longer term loans.
Finbond’s micro credit portfolio is further also not exposed to any
concentration risk and does not have any significant exposure any
specific employer or industry.
Strict Upfront Credit Scoring
Over the past twelve months Finbond continued to improve on and apply
strict upfront credit scoring and affordability criteria. The credit
scores on the various products are monitored on a monthly basis.
Detailed affordability calculations are also performed prior to
extending any loans in order to determine whether the client can in
fact afford the loan repayments.
Finbond’s lending practices have been consistently conservative over
the past number of years. While other micro-lenders in the market may
have doubled or tripled debtors books two and three years ago,
Finbond did not. In fact two and three years ago Finbond saw very
conservative growth in the loan portfolio. Finbond did not have
liberal lending polices two and three years ago that now require
adjustment.
Finbond has been consistently conservative and rejection rates remain
higher than that of our major competitors even after their recent
tightening of lending criteria. Rejection rates stood at between 39%
and 57% for our 3 – 6 month product range and 82% - 94% for our 12 –
24 month product range at the end of February 2014.
Bad Debts
Conservative lending practices, strict upfront credit scoring
supported by robust collection strategies and processes ensured
better that industry bad debts.
Finbond’s Net Impairment Loss Ratio improved to 12.1% (Feb 2013: 15%)
this financial year. Finbond’s Net Impairment as a percentage of
expected instalments amounted to 6.3% (Feb 2013: 5.2%) and Net
Impairment as a percentage of cash received (which is more
conservative than instalments due) stood at 7.3% at the end of
February 2014 (Feb 2013: 5.8%). The best measurement of arrears and
impairments on the short term products is against instalments due and
not outstanding balances, because a large part of a short term loan
is repaid before month-end/year-end and is therefore not reflected on
the balance sheet. Computations based on the outstanding balance
therefore distort this ratio on short term products.
Loan loss reserve, also referred to as the risk coverage ratio
(impairment provision/Portfolio at Risk: 90 days in arrears and
longer) is more conservative at 102.5% (Feb 2013: 95.6%), which is an
indication of a microfinance institution’s ability to cope with
estimated loan losses.
Liquidity
Finbond’s liquidity position at the end of February 2014 reflects
R86.8 million cash in bank (Feb 2013: R63.0 million). Cash, cash
equivalents and liquid investments increased by 470.0% to R500.5
million (Feb 2013: R87.8 million).
Cash Received as a percentage of Cash Granted for the period of March
2013 to February 2014 averaged 132%.
By the end of February 2014 the deposit book had grown to R 695.9
million. The average deposit size is R328,017, the average term 28,8
months and the average interest rate is 9.13%.
Finbond is not exposed to the uncertainty that accompanies the use of
corporate call deposits as a funding mechanism since Finbond only
accepts 6 – 72 month fixed and indefinite term deposits. Given the
long term nature of Finbond’s liabilities (fixed term deposits with
average term of 28,8 months) and short term nature of its assets
(short term micro loans with an average term just more than 3
months), Finbond possesses a low risk liquidity structure as a result
of a positive liquidity mismatch.
Capital Position
Finbond follows a conservative approach to capital management and
holds a level of capital which supports its business while also
growing its capital base ahead of business requirements.
Our Capital position remains very strong. Finbond Mutual Bank is well
above its minimum regulatory capital requirements with an excess of R
129 million over and above the R 250 000 000 required by the
Registrar of Banks and an excess of R 274 million over and above the
normal DI 400 required minimum for Mutual Banks.
Although Finbond as a Mutual Bank are not subject to the Basel III
requirements, Finbond already complies with and significantly exceeds
all Basel III requirements set for 2018 and 2019. As at 28 February
2014 Finbond’s:
• liquidity coverage ratio % was 191% [91% more than required from 2019]
• net stable funding ratio % was 511% [411% more than required from
2018]
• capital adequacy ratio % was 36% [25.5% more than required from 2018].
Increasing Footprint
Finbond currently operates through 200 branches in South-Africa of
which 62 are located in Gauteng, 49 in Kwazulu Natal, 34 in the
Western Cape, 23 in the Eastern Cape and 32 in the Free State and
North West.
We intend to open 60-80 branches in the next financial year and
thereafter approximately 40 branches per year for the next five
years.
Providing Inclusive Financial Services
Achieving sustainable and inclusive development in the banking sector
goes hand-in-hand with improving access to financial services,
particularly for the poor and vulnerable.
A significant portion of the adult population in South Africa are
actively seeking banking, saving and credit solutions but remain
largely unattended and underserviced.
There is a need among Finbond’s current customer base and target
market for a Mutual and Savings Bank that specifically caters for
their needs with regards to inter alia the following banking products
and needs:
• Savings accounts that earn interest on small amounts;
• Higher interest on savings deposits than traditional banks, that
actively encourage saving (due to Finbond’s higher margins on
the micro lending it can afford to pay depositors more than the
traditional banks that have low margins can);
• No minimum operating balance;
• Branch Network in rural areas;
• Low monthly bank charges and no cash deposit or cash handling
fees;
• Innovative and modern cash deposits, transfers and drawings;
• Unsecured Loans with credit guarantee insurance;
• Basic Financial Education.
Finbond is well positioned and able to provide much needed, inclusive
Banking services and products to the vulnerable, unbanked, under
banked and previously disadvantaged in line with the principles set
out in Treasuries National Policy Document, “A safer financial sector
to serve South Africa better”, with regards to financial inclusion
and promoting access to financial services.
Growing Market Share
Our share of the short term unsecured market (loans below R 8,000
with a tenure of between 30 days and 180 days) grew to approximately
12.5% and we have an insignificant share of the total R167 billion
unsecured lending market in South Africa.
Given that we are growing from a small base we can keep on growing
for a long time despite the current difficult environment in the
unsecured lending market.
Finbond is well positioned for the implementation of its strategic
growth plans in the micro credit market in South Africa and has
significant growth opportunities over the next five to ten years.
Credit rating
Global Credit Ratings (“GCR”) confirmed Finbond’s BB+ (RSA) Long Term
National Scale Corporate Credit Rating on 11 October 2013 with a
Stable Outlook. GCR increased Finbond’s Short Term Credit Rating to
A3 with a Stable Outlook. According to GCR, the ratings are based on
the following key factors:
- “The ratings are supported by Finbond Group Limited’s (“Finbond” or
“the group”) new operational status as a mutual bank, its growing
franchise value, as well as its sound corporate governance structures
and experienced management team.
- From a structural perspect ive, the group has naturally transitioned
into a more stable growth phase, leveraging off its strengths,
namely: leadership - the management team is recruited from the micro-
loan and banking fraternity, hence has all the hard skills and
expertise to take the business forward and/or respond to challenges;
infrastructure - opting to build scale upfront has made the group
accessible on a country wide basis, whilst also creating a fair
amount of spare capacity; and finally, market prospects – operating
in a growth segment, the group benefits from a steady client demand
flow.
- Operationally, the group’s recent activities have been varied, with
observations thereon categorised as follows: capital adequacy - given
the current level of shareholder participation, the group is
considered suitably capitalised and boasts strong protection ratios
(stress tests also confirm a sufficient buffer over risk minima);
asset quality - notwithstanding the group’s success in transforming
portfolio efficiency, some underlying quality issues remain,
particularly the rate at which loan arrears transition through the
ageing buckets after a failed payment/s. Here too, stress tests
indicate that the group has sufficient resources to withstand and/or
absorb a sudden blowout in bad debts; liquidity – note was taken of
the group’s improved liquidity profile, as reflected in the upgrade
of its short term rating; and profitability - across the board
developments were noted, with the group’s profitability recording a
net improvement, resulting in positive back-to-back income growth.”
Finbond’s national scale corporate credit rating from Moody’s
Investor Services (“Moody’s”) of Ba3.za/NP.za, with a stable outlook
was affirmed in September 2013. In light of the fact that Finbond do
not need two ratings, and do not intend to approach the debt capital
markets in the short to medium term given the current surplus cash
position, we terminated Moody’s Rating Services.
Property Investments
Two Independent valuations by professional valuers registered with
the South African Institute of Valuers were again obtained as at 28
February 2014, as required by IAS 40.
The Independent Valuations revalued Finbond’s property portfolio at
R242.6 million (Feb 2013: R233 million).
The R242.6 million in development properties on Finbond’s Balance
sheet are held as passive long term investments. The intention is to
realize a profit over the medium to long term and to invest the cash
realized into the Micro Finance Business.
Strategic initiatives under way include:
• Developing and rolling out Finbond Mutual Bank, transactional
bank accounts and savings accounts to all its micro credit
clients;
• Developing and rolling out a Cellular Phone Banking Product and
Application;
• Developing and rolling out an Internet Banking Product and
Application;
• Developing and rolling out a Mastercard Debit Card product;
• Growing market share through the increased sale of short and
medium term products, specifically the 30 days, 90 days, 6
months and 12 – 24 month products;
• Further refining, developing and improving all information
technology systems and process in all divisions;
• Expansion of the branch network by 60 – 80 branches in high
growth areas;
• Selective strategic acquisitions.
Prospects
The challenging and difficult macro-economic environment as well as
the adverse market conditions in the markets within which Finbond
operates, are not expected to abate in the short and medium term.
However, we remain confident that we have the required resources and
depth in management to successfully confront and overcome these
various challenges.
We remain positive about our prospects for the future due to
Finbond’s:
• Improvement achieved in earnings and profitability despite
difficult market conditions;
• Improvement achieved in cash generated from operating
activities;
• Management expertise;
• Strong Cash Flow;
• Strong Liquidity and surplus cash position;
• Uniquely positioned 200 Branch Network;
• Superior Asset Quality;
• Access to funding;
• Conservative Risk Management; and
• Growth potential in the Micro Finance and Mutual Banking markets
in the lower end of the market.
Finbond’s strong capital position, significant surplus cash, robust
liquidity and funding profile together with its conservative approach
to risk management, position the business well both in adverse market
conditions and as markets improve.

accordance with the JSE Listing Requirements, the South African
