OCBC Bank - More Patience Needed On Capital Management Plans

Published:
OCBC (SGX:O39) | SGinvestors.io
  • OCBC's 9M24 results were in line on expectations that 4Q24 will be a softer quarter. Asset quality and capital remain solid but investors may be somewhat disappointed on the lack of clarity, for now, regarding management’s plans for excess capital.

Good set of 3Q24 results

  • OCBC reported good set of 3Q24 results, with net profit of S$2bn (+2% q-o-q, +9% y-o-y) bringing 9M24 PATMI to S$5.9bn (+9% y-o-y) – at 78-79% of our and Street FY24 estimates.

  • 9M24 reported ROE was 14.4% (FY23: 13.7%), while fully phased-in CET-1 ratio based on Basel III reforms remained solid at 15.6% (2Q24: 15.5%; 4Q23: 15.9%).

Results highlights.

  • Non-II (+14% q-o-q, +41% y-o-y) drove income this quarter. Fees (+9% q-o-q, +10% y-o-y) were underpinned by wealth management (+16% q-o-q, +25% y-o-y) while trading income jumped 43% q-o-q (+135% y-o-y) as non-customer flows more than doubled q-o-q, further supported by higher customer flow income.
  • Otherwise, NII was flattish as asset growth helped compensate for NIM pressure (-2bps q-o-q, -9bps y-o-y) as OCBC moved liquidity into high quality but lower yielding assets, and higher funding cost.
  • Both loans and deposits were flat q-o-q. Opex growth outpaced income growth during the quarter due to the increase in business activities but 9M CIR of 38% was stable y-o-y.
  • Credit cost ticked up to 22bps from 15bps in 2Q24 due to allowances for non-impaired assets and with non-performing assets (NPAs) improving, allowance coverage was beefed up further to 148% vs 2Q24: 138%.
