Annual report of Sberbank. Group objectives in managing credit risk

« Hello! People disagree about the effect of the Central Bank rate on the NPM.
Now, if you consider VTB:
1) NPM has a downward trend
2) the Central Bank rate also has a downward trend

Question: what will happen to the NPM of this bank and why? will it be any different if we consider the situation regarding sber?

Thank.

Good morning, of course, there is a certain relationship between a decrease in the Central Bank rate and a decrease in the NPM, but a much larger impact is exerted by a change in the structure of loans - from more marginal products (consumer loans) to less (mortgages). In addition, VTB has seen a more rapid increase in loans issued relative to the growth of attracted deposits, which has to be compensated by more expensive funding (interbank lending and subordinated debt). In Sberbank, the opposite is happening. In general, our forecast for the level of NPM of both banks is to maintain current values.

« In the latest Charter of Sberbank dated 06/08/2018, the wording for the protective clause reads as follows (page 5, clause 4.2): - The Bank placed ordinary shares and preferred shares of the same type - with the mandatory payment of a certain dividend in the amount of at least 15% of the par value of the preferred share. (punctuation preserved) Is it considered that the clause about the “certainty” of payment by prefs appeared or everything is as before - “not less than 15%” is not certainty and therefore can pay less than usual?»

Yes, we still need the wording that the size of the dividend paid on the preferred shares cannot be less than the size of the dividend paid on ordinary shares.

« Hello. In the Results of the 1st half of 2018, BV per share indicated 175.8 rubles. According to what formula is it calculated if equity owned by shareholders is 3,485 billion rubles, and the total number of shares is about 22.6 billion. (I understand that this is a forecast, but still).»

Good day. The balance sheet price at the end of 2018 of 175.8 rubles was obtained by dividing the forecast equity at the end of 2018 in the amount of 3.971 trillion rubles by the total number of ordinary and preferred shares.

« Good day! Why has capital adequacy decreased so much?»

Good day. Largely due to the payment of higher dividends for 2017.

« How significant can the additional profit of banks and Sberbank be, in particular, as a result of the entry into force of the law on financing housing construction by developers from July not at the expense of interest holders, but at the expense of credit money from banks?»

So far, we have not made special adjustments to the bank models associated with changes in housing finance.

« Honestly, we were very surprised by the initial premise inherent in your question, Dmitry. Who is considered and why Sberbank?»

Artem, I heard this opinion from the speeches of many analysts at RBC. Of course, I don’t keep a record of their names, but with 100% probability I can name a couple of names: Alexander Razuvaev, Alexander Krapivko. This is discussed with leading programs for granted.

« Good day!

It seems that you have paper in your portfolio since June? And you in September write that they can only claim ...?)) "



Good day, Andrey! Yes, in June we bought ordinary shares of Sberbank only in the Arsager - Mixed Investment Fund, at the moment we bought them in all portfolios.

« Before the summer, Sberbank had to sell its business in Ukraine for a penny. Something did not see any more information about this. What is the transaction price, when and how will it be reflected in the financial statements of the bank? She will be»

Good morning, Dmitriy! In the first quarter of 2017, the Bank signed a framework agreement for the sale of 100% of the shares of Sberbank PJSC (Ukraine). The implementation of this agreement involved preliminary approval by regulatory authorities and the fulfillment of other conditions. In the third quarter of 2017, the National Bank of Ukraine refused to approve the transaction. We have no other information at the moment. With regard to the reflection in the bank's statements, we believe that the corresponding allowance for impairment has already been created.

« Apparently, part of the funds of about 100 billion rubles was spent on the acquisition of fixed assets, which can be seen in note 14 of the IFRS statements for 2016.»

That's just the point: Sberbank plans to get rid of the excessive number of its branches. He could not again buy his property at new offices ...

« Hello Dmitry! The question is not very clear. Could you explain in more detail what is meant?»

Elena, if we take, for example, the financial results of Sberbank for 2015, then the profit is 222.9 billion rubles. In accordance with this, the return on equity was calculated at 11%, given that at the beginning of 2015, Sberbank had 2 020 billion rubles. The question arises: why, in this case, when calculating the profit received, the “Other comprehensive income” indicators are not taken into account, where the income item: “Investment securities available for sale” is calculated? After all, that amount of equity (2 020 billion rubles) includes the cost of investment securities for sale. The logic of my reasoning is this: if you include the cost of investment securities for sale in the indicators of equity, then it is fair to evaluate the profitability of this capital, including the item “Other comprehensive income” in the indicators of net profit.

« I watched the charts five years ago. In them, preferred shares held lower positions than usual, although in those years Arsager did not yet take into account the absence of a protective clause in the Charter of Sberbank. What is the reason for this?»

Perhaps at that time the prefs of Sberbank were trading above a fair discount.

« Sberbank does not use borrowed funds of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Is Sberbank profitable for high rates in the country? On the one hand, lower rates will increase lending. On the other hand, when the rates are reduced, will the bank’s margin also fall, and will its advantage be leveled over other banks in the form of cheap money from customers?»

As historical data show, during the period of lower interest rates, Sberbank's net interest margin was higher than the indicators that the bank is now demonstrating.

« Hello Andrei! The norm of paragraph 2 of Article 32 of the Federal Law of 26.12.1995 N 208-ФЗ “On Joint Stock Companies” stating that holders of preferred shares for which the dividend is not determined have the right to receive dividends on an equal basis with owners of ordinary shares. In the case of Sberbank (unlike Transneft, for example), the size of dividends on preferred shares is not defined in the charter, which means that clause 2 of article 32 of the JSC law protects owners of prefs, which is better than a “protective clause in the charter”. So why did you exclude Sberbank from market types? Do you think that the clause in the charter protects more reliably the articles of federal law?»

Good evening, Eugene! According to our courts, the wording that is in the charter of Sberbank (at least 15% of the face value) is the determination of the amount of dividends on preferred shares. As a result, your provision of the law does not apply.

« Hello Andrei! I thought so. But why then is there VTB? After all, you also excluded it from the composition of market types.»

Alexander, indeed, VTB ordinary shares are included in the market types. Could you provide a link to where we are talking about their exclusion? Perhaps the term was used in a different context. For example, for similar reasons, due to the lack of a reservation in the charter, we do not calculate returns on preferred shares of Transneft, Kuibyshevazot, Bashinformsvyaz.

« Hello! And why do you have no Sberbank prefs in the "Analytics by Issuers" section?»

Good afternoon! We excluded Sberbank prefs from market types, since the Bank’s charter does not contain a protective clause on dividends. As a rule, it reads as follows: “If the amount of dividends paid by the Company for each ordinary share in a certain year exceeds the amount payable as dividends for each preferred share, the amount of dividend paid on the latter should be increased to the amount dividend paid on ordinary shares. "

« “Investors always appreciate the fact that the management of a joint-stock company is motivated to increase value, since this is the most important component of shareholder income.” Artem Abalov, December 11, 2015 at 12:57 pm There are, of course, all kinds of investors. I also consider myself an investor. But I do not approve of such a motivation for management. It is necessary to tie managers' salaries to the growth of share capital and ROE, subject to certain standards of the company's debt and leverage.»

I completely agree with you, but it’s even more correct to use both indicators: both the growth of equity capital and its pace, as well as the compliance of capitalization with the indicator of internal value achieved by the company. For example, in our company the management remuneration system is three-stage: 1. Profit availability; 2. The excess of ROE over the OFZ profitability level; 3. The excess of capitalization over the maximum of two: the size of the company's own capital or the number of profits multiplied by 7.

« Investors always appreciate the fact that the management of a joint-stock company is motivated to increase value, since this is the most important component of shareholder income.»

Investors, of course, are all sorts. I also consider myself an investor. But I do not approve of such a motivation for management. It is necessary to tie managers' salaries to the growth of share capital and ROE, subject to certain standards of the company's debt and leverage.
