The presentation pack, which is being referred to, is also available for download from
KIB website.
I will now hand over the call to our Dy. CEO - Mr. Mohamed Said El Saka.
Mohamed Said El Saka
Good morning and good afternoon everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to
wish everyone a prosperous 2019.
It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you to our earnings call for the fourth quarter
which coincides with the performance for the year ended 31 December 2018.
I intend to briefly touch upon the current economic situation prevailing in Kuwait, our
strategy implementation and KIB’s performance during 2018.
Then Ajai will review in detail with you, KIB’s financial performance through the
presentation and we would be happy to answer your questions thereafter.
IMF’s recent estimates shows a weakening in the global expansion, which is a
downgrade from the earlier estimate, citing negative effects of tariff increases trade
tensions between major trading partners which has started to negatively impact
economic activity worldwide, also a “no deal“ brexit and greater than envisaged
slowdown in EMs. Global economy projected to grow at 3.5% this year, down 0.2 % from
earlier forecast. Growth in the Middle East expected to remain subdued. Multiple factors
weighing on the region’s outlook includes weak oil output growth and geopolitical
tensions.
Tightening liquidity conditions worldwide, geopolitical risks in the Middle East and
challenges inherent to sukuk issuance dampened ME sukuk issuances recording a 15%
drop in 2018. Higher demand for funding in GCC countries are expected to improve
issuances in 2019.
Kuwait’s economy is expected to grow in 2019 primarily supported by robust capital
spending outlined by government’s approved budget for the year. Non-oil GDP is also
seen improving, Meanwhile, despite lower oil prices, fiscal policy should remain broadly
supportive, with capital spending expected to continue to rise.
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its ‘AA/A-1+’ long and short-term foreign and local
currency sovereign credit ratings on Kuwait with a stable outlook, in January 2019.
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call

As for the strategy and its update;
KIB’s strong financial performance reflects its strong growth in a number of business
areas, in line with its newly implemented strategy. KIB’s new strategy implementation is
forging ahead, taking the customer banking experience to the next level and delivering
much more than just ‘banking’ in the traditional sense. KIB always strive to meet the
ever-changing needs of our customers. For this reason, we adopt cutting-edge
technology and digital solutions that are accessible at any time and any place to truly
satisfy our customers.
Our Bank’s financial performance has been impressive this year both in terms of asset
growth and improved profits.
KIB reported a net profit of approximately 21 million KD for the year 2018; a growth of
18% compared to 2017.
Financing income registered a growth of 20% reaching 89.5 million KD compared to 74.6
million KD in 2017.
KIB’s total assets increased by 253 million KD to reach 2.2 billion KD, a growth of 13%
compared to 2017.
Successful strategy implementation has translated to impressive growth in our financing
receivable portfolio and depositor’s base reflecting greater customer trust. Financing
portfolio grew by over 300 million KD reaching 1.6 billion KD and customers’ deposits
grew by 115 million KD reaching KD 1.3 billion both witnessing double digit growth of
23% and 10% respectively, over last year.
Our asset quality matrices have improved significantly in 2018 mainly due to continuous
efforts in monitoring of existing and new portfolio. Our NPL ratio stood below 1%, which
is one of the lowest among peers. In addition, total coverage ratio at 343% in 2018 is
one of the highest in the region.
KIB plans to increase its distribution to shareholders as the Bank’s Board of Directors has
recommended a cash dividend of 11% i.e. 11 fils per share and bonus of 4% i.e. 4 shares
for every 100 shares; which is subject to the approval by the Bank’s shareholders’
general assembly and regulatory authorities.
I would now conclude my short briefing, and handover the call to Ajai to take you
through our results in detail and answer any questions that you may have.
Thank you very much.
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call
4 | P a g e
Ajai Thomas Thank you, Mr. Mohamed.
Good morning and Good afternoon everyone.
KIB’s strong set of numbers for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 stands
testament to successful implementation/progression of the strategy the Bank has
adopted and looking forward to the next year.
As global growth is slowing, with much of the developed world slowing markedly as
mentioned by Mr. Mohamed earlier. Global equity markets having a significant growth
scare in the last quarter of 2018, with earning expectations and valuations falling sharply
and recovering since then, especially in US, showing volatility is still high and investor
sentiments are fragile. For GCC region however, growth in 2019 looks stronger than 2018,
with Saudi, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi expected to continue to deliver significant fiscal
stimulus this year.
2018 has proved to be rewarding year for KIB which has shown impressive results and
we expect to keep the momentum going forward, which is supported by the current
macro-economic conditions along with our consistent efforts in meeting our strategic
goals adopted in 2015.
Please allow me to take you through the presentation.
Slide #5 of the presentation pack provides a snapshot of our strategy updates.
Slide # 7 provides performance of KIB share price and appreciation to investors’ value
over a period of 1 year. KIB share price as of 31st Jan 2019 stood at 290 fils compared to
264 fils at 31st Dec 2018 and 228 fils at 31st Dec 2017 with average return of 27% when
compared to YE 2017 levels.
Slides #9 to # 13 provides details of financial performance during the year 2018.
Navigating through slide # 9 & 10:
KIB reported stellar bottom line growth of 18% to reach around KD 21 Mln for the year
2018 as compared to KD 17.7 Mln in 2017. This was mainly driven by the topline growth
of financing income, which is 20% to reach KD 89.5 Mln as compared to KD 74.6 Mln in
2017. Strengthening of the Bank’s core business has helped us to achieve this
remarkable performance during the year.
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call
5 | P a g e
Net financing income comprised of 81% of the total operating income during the year
as compared to 76% a year ago reflecting strengthening of core business activities as
KIB does not operate an active investment trading book as per it’s conservative risk
appetite.
The bank has continued its investments in new branding and IT infrastructure in 2018
through upgrades for enhanced digital banking experience while controlling its other
costs. Operating expenses registered a marginal increase to support the business
growth. Increase in staff costs is partly reflective of the changes in Kuwait labor laws.
Slides #11, 12 and 13:
These slides provides an overview of the consistent growth in key aspects of the bank’s
core business. Our ALM strategy has helped us to move towards more of an optimum
balance sheet structure, which has shown marked improvements over previous years.
In terms of our core assets/liabilities’ growth, KIB achieved growth in total assets by 13%
to reach KD 2.2 billion in 2018 as compared to KD 1.9 billion in 2017. This was achieved
through growth in financing receivables, which reached KD 1.6 billion in 2018 a growth
of 23% as compared to KD 1.3 billion as at 31 December 2017.
Funding mix have also improved considerably through growth in retail deposit
mobilization, which is aligned with our strategy and long term goals.
KIB’s investment portfolio increased by 14% to reach KD 166 million primarily through
increased exposure towards high quality sukuks, compared to KD 145.7 million by end
2017. Investment income is lower compared to 2017 on account of certain one off
offloads of non-core investments during the previous year.
Customer deposits growth has been sustained due to our various successful product
launches and campaigns supported by attractive profit rates; resulting in an increase
of KD 115 million or 10% to reach KD 1.3 billion compared to KD 1.2 billion by end 2017.
Continuing with the financial performance to Slide #13
Sound capital buffers in line with our prudent risk management places KIB’s ratios well
above the regulatory requirement of 13% in terms of Basel III CAR ratio. KIB’s CAR stood
at 16.6% as of 31 December 2018 while financial leverage ratio stood at 10.5%, well
above the 3% requirement. NSFR was also maintained throughout the year at
comfortable levels compared to regulatory requirements.
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call
6 | P a g e
We would continue to maintain comfortable buffers in line with our current risk
management policies.
Slide #15 shows our commitment to our shareholders with an improved dividend payout
with 11 fils cash dividend in addition to 4% bonus shares for 2018.
Slide #17 summarizes expectations for YE 2019

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now start our question and answer session. If
you wish to ask a question, please type your question into the “ask a question text” area
then click the submit button. Thank you for holding, until we have our first question.
Abdullah Al Asouse We have our first question.
The Bank has a strong growth in Financing Portfolio for the year 2018. What are the
drivers of portfolio growth?
Ajai Thomas
We are pleased with our exceptional growth registered for the year wherein the Bank
registered an impressive growth of 23% during the year 2018. The Bank’s financing
portfolio grew in excess of KD 300 million compared to previous year, well over the
market trend. We are also actively participating in high quality syndications locally and
in GCC region with focus on oil & gas, telecom and hospitality sectors.
Abdullah Al Asouse Operating expenses are grown at over 8%. If that a trend you expect to continue next
year.
Ajai Thomas
As mention in Slide 9 of the presentation, financing income increased by 20% during
2018 compared to 2017 while operating expenses registered a modest growth of 8%.
We expect a similar trend to continue moving forward in 2019.
Abdullah Al Asouse What’s your expectations on the rising share price of the Bank?
Ajai Thomas
We are happy to note that analysts’ coverage of KIB have been mostly positive with
expectation of better share price. Being in the premier market along with FTSE/MSCI
inclusions have supported the share price. Needless to mention, we reported a strong
set of numbers during all 4 quarters of 2018.
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call
7 | P a g e
Abdullah Al Asouse IFRS 9 brought major provisioning costs for banks globally. How has adoption of IFRS 9
impacted the Bank? Would the buffer in terms of ECL result in lower provision charges in
future?
Ajai Thomas
The current regulation requires applying CBK provisions or IFRS 9 ECL whichever is higher
which resulted in comfortable buffers for us. We expect a similar trend to continue.
Abdullah Al Asouse What was the reason behind the decrease of the investment income in 2018?
Ajai Thomas
As mentioned during our presentation, KIB’s investment portfolio increased by 14% to
reach KD 166 million primarily through increased exposure towards high quality sukuks,
compared to KD 145.7 million by end 2017. Investment income is lower compared to
2017 on account of certain one off offloads of non-core investments during the previous
year.
Abdullah Al Asouse We see large cross-country and national M&A activities resulting in consolidation of
financial institutions. Any plans for such initiatives?
Ajai Thomas
We are currently focused on organic growth in line with the strategy and have no
immediate plans to enter M&A space.
Abdullah Al Asouse Here’s another question.
Ajai, What is the outlook for retail deposit growth?
Ajai Thomas
We are continuing our efforts to become the “Bank for Life” in line with our strategy and
as part of that, we provide our customer with a better banking experience. Customer
deposits registered a growth of 10% in 2018 compared to 2017, largely due to our
success in improving retail base, acquiring higher volumes through our innovative
deposit products launches and various promotional campaigns supported by better
profit rates. In equation, this mainly contributed to higher customer trust and better
brand visibility within the market.
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to remind you. If you wish to ask a question, please

We have another question.
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call
8 | P a g e
Abdullah Al Asouse Kuwait’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry issued a decision in December 2018 to
allow increased foreign ownership in banks to 100% from 49%, what are your views on
the same. Also, how is the Bank positioned to attract foreign ownership?
Ajai Thomas
In my view, increasing foreign ownership will boost investors’ confidence in the market,
which will help bring in additional foreign investments further reducing dependency on
oil-based economy. Currently we are seeing strong interest of FII in our stock, as of
December 2018 the holding was at around 7%, which is second highest among Kuwaiti
banks.
Abdullah Al Asouse Have you been active in fintech and blockchain technology initiatives?
Ajai Thomas
We have a full-fledged omni-channel platform for our customers. We are evaluating
various fintech opportunities and will have a technology onboard only if it provides
significant synergies in operations and customer experience.
Abdullah Al Asouse We have noted that the Bank has reported a significant improvement in asset quality.
Could you shed some light on these improvements?
Ajai Thomas
We are pleased to report a significant improvement in our asset quality as reflected in
lower NPL ratio and higher total coverage ratio. As explained by our DCEO earlier, asset
quality matrices have improved significantly in 2018 due to our continuous monitoring
and follow up of existing loan book and new exposures resulting in one of the lowest
NPL ratios in the region; which was below 1%.
Abdullah Al Asouse Here we have another question.
Ajai, we have noted lower provision charge in 2018 compared to last year in spite of a
significant growth in financing receivables, can you please explain reasons for this?
Ajai Thomas Provision charge on financing receivables for 2018 was lower than the previous year.
This is mainly because of better quality assets onboarding along with prompt follow up
of existing portfolio.
Abdullah Al Asouse What will be your investment strategy going forward given the current market
conditions?
Ajai Thomas Increase in investment portfolio during 2018 is mainly because of increased exposure in
high quality sukuks. This expansion is in line with our strategy and helps bank to achieve
YE 2018 KIB – Earnings Call

diversified and optimum balance sheet composition. Going forward we will continue
the same trajectory and explore investment opportunities.
Abdullah Al Asouse Could you please provide arrange of loan growth expectation for 2019?
Mohamed Said El Saka We have registered an impressive growth in the financing portfolio in excess of 23%
compared to 2017. The Bank’s financing portfolio grew in excess of KD 300 million
compared to previous year, well over the market trend. We are also actively
participating in high quality syndications locally and in GCC region with focus on oil &
gas, telecom and hospitality sectors. and expect a similar trend to continue.
Abdullah Al Asouse
Thank you Ajai.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are nearing the close of our allotted time for the call. Please
feel free to get in touch with us at the investor relations contact provided at the end of
the presentation, and we will respond to your inquiries. Any final words, Mr. Mohamed?
