MARK’s net profit up 5.2% QoQ in 4Q2013 – Masraf Al Rayan
(MARK) reported a net income to shareholders of QR452.0mn
vs. our estimate of QR436.8mn and Bloomberg consensus of
QR440.0mn. On a QoQ basis, the bottom-line is up 5.2% versus
QR429.5mn in 3Q2013. The growth primarily came on the back
of reversals in provisions on financing assets, which stood at
QR26.2mn in the first nine months of 2013 versus a reversal of
QR11.3mn for full year 2013. The bank increased its cash
dividend to QR1.50 for 2013. MARK posted a full year net profit
of QR1.7bn in 2013, up 13.2% YoY. EPS stood at QR2.27 in
2013. The bank’s total assets rose to QR66.5bn in 2013,
indicating an 8.0% YoY growth. Financing activities reached
QR41.4bn, down 0.7% YoY, while total customer deposits rose
to QR48.3bn, an increase of 7.4% YoY. MARK has recently
acquired the majority stake in Islamic Bank of Britain (IBB) from
QIIK. IBB is one of the few standalone Islamic retail banks in the
UK and has a high street presence with five branches and
~50,000 customers. Furthermore, MARK has also expressed its
intention to buy a 40% stake in a Libyan bank. The acquisition
will cost around QR1bn. Both these transaction are in line with
our view that the bank will expand for long-term growth potential.
On YTD basis, the stock is up 10.06% vs. the QE All Share
Banks & Financial Services Index, which is also up 8.31%.
