PSG Namibia 30 August 2016

This report has been prepared by PSG Namibia. PSG does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the firm may have conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should condsider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision.

INVESTMENT THESIS POWER The Power-score we give to companies conveys the strength of the sustainable competitive advantage we regard the company to have. We look at whether there is a clear and understandable business model and positive free cash flow. Power can be in cost advantages and having a hook in the customer. Qualitative thinking and quantitative evidence is used to determine the final score.

Understanding the business model

BWH is an investment holding company with a 100% shareholding in Bank Windhoek Ltd, Namib Bou (Pty) Ltd, Welwitschia Insurance Brokers (Pty) Ltd (sold after year-end), Capricorn Unit Trust Management Company Ltd (CUTM) and Capricorn Asset Management (Pty) Ltd (CAM). Bank Windhoek Ltd is one of the biggest commercial banks in Namibia. BWH also has strategic interests in Santam Namibia (28%) and Sanlam Namibia (29.5%). Following the listing of BWH on the NSX in June 2013, Capricorn Investment Holdings (CIH) has a 56.81% shareholding in BWH. The group offers a complete range of retail, business, corporate and investment banking, insurance and wealth management. BWH also has a 100% shareholding in CUTM (effective and CAM).

In analyzing the business model it is also very important to understand how Bank Windhoek Holdings is different from the other banks in Namibia. Nedbank, Standard Bank and FNB have South African parent companies where many of the decision-making is done. Certain functions, like debt collection, is also centralized. In Bank Windhoek, all decision-making is local and branch-based. Branch managers take responsibility for their branch’s loan age analysis and they know their customers very well. This enables them to make better character decisions of the individuals for the loans that are extended.

We can specifically see how this difference in approach translates into very low early arrears numbers for the bank.

Earnings growth

Specifically for BWH, earnings per share growth has averaged 19.8% over the last 5 years. The growth has been stable and predictable.

As can be seen from the table below, BWH has consistently grown net interest and non-interest income above 15% over the last 10 years.

Cost factors

One of the factors that determines whether a company has a sustainable competitive advantage is whether they have a cheaper process. For a bank this can relate to the cost-to-income ratio.

After peaking at 62.9% in 2010, this ratio has consistently come down and has improved to 50.2% in the 2016 financial year. This has been as a result of increased income but also a substantial curbing of operating cost growth in the last two years.

Chart 2: Cost-to-income

Operating Margin factors

Net interest margins (NIM) are cyclical in nature and typically track prevailing central bank interest rates. Note that our figures refer to Net interest margin after impairment on average interest earning assets (IEA). In the case of BWH, we have not seen a big endowment effect due to the nature of the funding taken on by the bank. When the prevailing interest rates increase, BWH can charge more on loans, but they also pay more for their funding.

In FY16 there was an increase of 65 bps in interest income on average IEA and an increase of 82 bps in the interest expense on average interest paying assets. We forecast that with the yield curve flattening out at the top of the interest rate cycle, the increase in interest expense will not be as large in FY17.

Chart 3: Net interest margins

Client base factors

BWH have managed to build close relationships with their clients and has a very localised, decentralised and personalised credit process. Decisions on credit are made by people who know the client. This makes these decisions more informed and is unique among the Namibian banks. Evidence for this is seen in the low early arrears numbers for BWH. BWH has early arrears figures of 0.8% of their home loan book, while the other banks are at 5% or higher. According to BWH it is a combination of factors, but has a lot to do with the market segment where they operate. There book is comprised mostly of the middle to upper income market. BWH is not as exposed to the part of the market where affordability becomes a problem with interest rate increases. The exposure is to the segment of the market that can absorb the increases.

Credit losses have remained at very low levels and declined over the past year from 0.26% to 0.24% despite the rise in interest rates and the expected rise in non-performing loans.

Return on assets and equity

One of the indicative metrics of Power in a company is its long-term Return on Invested Capital. In a banking scenario, Return on Assets is more applicable.

ROA has increased consistently to 3.0% in FY16 as a result of small but continuous improvements in the expense ratio and asset utilisation by management. This means that more income was derived from assets which is also visible in the slight uptick in NIM.

Chart 5: ROA breakdown

Source: PSG, Company data

Similarly, ROE has increased over the last four years from 21.9% to 22.9% at FY16. This is largely as a

result of the improved ROA with gearing declining over the period.

PEOPLE

The People-score we assign, relates to the way we think about management. We are entrusting the management of investors’ money to the people who manage the companies they invest in. They need to be good capital allocators of investors’ cash. Capital can be allocated in the following ways:

1. Growth capital expenditure 2. Acquisitions 3. Share buy-backs 4. Dividend payouts We want the management to have a good track record and determine whether their incentives are aligned so that they think like owners. We look for evidence in the numbers to support our views. If they set targets we look at whether management has a track record of reaching or exceeding targets.

The Board comprises 3 executive and 9 non-executive directors.

Chairman of the Board: Koos Brandt

BA LLB Non-executive director and founding member Chairman since 1996 Vice-Chairman of the Board: Johan Swanepoel

B.Com (Hons)(Accounting), CA(SA), CA(Nam) Non-executive director Appointed: 1999

BCom, B. Compt Hons (Unisa), CA (Nam) Appointed: 2016

Managing Director Bank Windhoek Holdings: Thinus Prinsloo

B Compt Hons, (CA (SA) Joined the CIH group: 2011 Appointed to BWH Board: 2013

The most recent change to the Board was the appointment of Baronice Hans as Managing Director of Bank Windhoek Limited in place of Christo de Vries whose contract expired. From February to June, Hans worked closely with De Vries and the executive management of the bank to ensure a smooth period of transition.

Remuneration structure

Fixed remuneration includes a basic salary and benefits in the form of membership to a pension fund to which contributions are made by the employer and employee and may include mortgage bond interest subsidies and housing allowances.

Variable remuneration are in the form of short-term incentives, which operates as a bonus pool in which all employees are eligible to participate and long-term incentives in the form of share appreciation rights.

Bank Windhoek Holdings 6

In the 2015 annual report, the split between fixed and variable remuneration is not made clear, because fixed pay and bonuses are in one category.

Growth

Advances growth has slowed to 12.6% during FY16 in line with the slowdown in Private Sector credit extension. Over the past 10 years advances growth averaged 15.1%. We expect the slowdown to continue in FY17 with rising interest rates and pressure on economic growth.

Stricter credit guidelines from the Bank of Namibia in terms of mortgage lending for additional properties and deposit requirements for vehicle purchases will also dampen advances growth.

Capital Structure

The bank remains well-capitalised with capital adequacy ratios above the minimum requirements from the Bank of Namibia. The liquid assets to deposit ratio has also increased in the time of rising interest rates and this is expected to continue going forward.

Management have diversified the sources of funding, which allowed for further advances growth without a reliance on significant deposit growth. In future they are looking to issue less debt and focus on growing deposits to bring the loan to deposit ratio down to 105%.

We value banking shares using a three-stage dividend discount model with the terminal value determined by a justified price-to-book multiple. For the period where we have visibility, i.e the next 3 years we use the cash flow figures as derived by a bottom up approach with our financial forecasts to complete the first stage of the DCF. For the next two years, we use an interim growth figure and finally for the terminal value, a justified Price-to-Book multiple is computed using perpetual sustainable ROE, perpetual growth and our required rate of return The drivers for this valuation model can be explained by the below graphic:

We discuss each of these to guide the reader in their own analysis.

ROE

ROE is a function of asset utilisation and the expense ratio (ROA) and gearing.

Our forecasts are as follows:

FY16 FY17E FY18E FY19E

Asset utilisation 8.2% 8.4% 8.5% 8.5%

Expense ratio 5.3% 5.4% 5.4% 5.4%

ROA 8.2% 8.4% 8.5% 8.5%

Gearing 7.7 7.4 7.3 7.2

ROE 22.9% 22.6% 22.4% 22.2%

Asset utilisation (Total income/total assets)

Total income is expected to increase by 15.4% in FY17 with another 50bps interest rate hikes in the coming 12 months. This is based on our view that the US Federal Reserve will start increasing rates in September 2016 which should prompt the SARB to raise rates in order to protect capital flows. BWH have diversified their funding sources and as the yield curve flattens out, we expect them to gain more in the following year after taking strain with the differential in interest income and interest expense growth. Interest income growth is projected at 18.0% while interest expense growth is expected to come in at 20.6%.

Chart 12: Inflation and Repo Rate forecasts

Source: NSA, BoN

As at FY16, financial assets made up 7.4% of total assets. This percentage has gone up to as much as 14.9% in times of higher interest rates as banks buy financial assets instead of making doubtful advances. Our assumptions have this ratio peaking at 12% this time around because we do not expect interest rates to reach the levels it did during 2008 – 2010.

Gearing

Gearing is also expected to reduce as management indicated that they do not anticipate rolling out more senior issued debt but rather to focus on deposit growth.

The average ROE for BWH over the last 10 years was 24.0%. Over 5 years it drops to 22.4%. From our forecasts, we see that with the reduction in advances growth over the next 2 – 3 years, ROE might come under pressure. The average for our forecast for the next 3 years is 22.4%. Guidance

from management indicates that they target ROE of 20%. We have used a sustainable ROE into perpetuity (after 5 years from today) of 19% in order to compensate for future competition and disruption due to the advancement of financial technology.

Required return

We determine our required return using a build-up method which includes a risk-free rate, country risk premium, equity risk premium and a liquidity premium. Our required return for BWH is 14.75%, with the risk free rate calculated as the 10-year average of the 10 year South African government bond plus 100 bps spread.

Growth rates

The growth rates for the next 3 years are forecasted as follows:

Income Statement Growth FY16 FY17E FY18E FY19E

Total comprehensive income 20.1% 15.0% 14.0% 14.1%

Headline Earnings 20.2% 16.1% 14.4% 14.4%

Dividends 30.8% 23.7% 14.5% 14.5%

For the interim period from FY20 to FY21 we used 15%. The long-term growth figure into perpetuity used in the model is 10.5%. We calculated this number by using the long term (since 1980) real

GDP as reported by the World Bank and adjusted it by average inflation. Target price We value BWH at a target price of 2078 cps. Earnings per share growth is estimated at 15.3% for FY17. Dividends are forecasted at 73 cps which puts the share on a forward dividend yield of 4.2%. Recommendation BUY Upside scenario BWH could beat our expectations if ROEs remain at their current high levels. This can be achieved by increased advances growth and non-interest revenue growth in excess of our current forecasts. Downside scenario The property market in Namibia remains a risk factor and if credit losses sustained are higher than forecasted, ROEs can drop. There is also a possibility that this can dampen advances growth in the future since mortgage advances comprise half of total loans.

Sensitivity table This sensitivity table attempts to show what impact lower/higher sustainable ROEs and different growth rates can have for the target price of the share. We regard it as important to note that 85% of the target price is determined by the terminal value which is influenced by the ROE and growth rate. The extent of the sensitivity can be seen in the table.
