Bendigo & Adelaide B ALL ORDINARIES (Rebased)
Quality and predictability are falling BEN's performance in 1H12 was buffeted by margin headwinds, P&L volatility from Homesafe Solutions, and earnings dilution from balance sheet repair. While the business model is a sound one, recent acquisitions suggest the outlook for the core business is likely to remain challenged for some time. With BEN trading in line with peers despite earnings growth towards the bottom of the peer range, we continue to see better value in the majors. HOLD. Margin pressure to alleviate in 2H12 The key area of negativity for BEN in 1H12 was 7bps of margin decline driven by a spike in deposit competition and a reduction in the margin lending book. Nonetheless, the recent 15bps out-of-cycle repricing in mortgages should provide a full-year benefit of ~8bps to the margin, with the majority flowing through in 2H12. Longer term, further relaxation of deposit competition is necessary for a return to satisfactory economics for BENs very large deposit base. Acquisitions moving beyond core competency In the face of the challenging operating environment, BEN has made 2 acquisitions in the last few months. We are concerned that these acquisitions have moved outside the groups core banking competency and may distract managements attention away from its operations for little financial gain. Earnings changesforecasts now include Bank of Cyprus Following the 1H12 result we have decreased our FY12 and FY13 EPS forecasts by -3.9% and -4.2% respectively. The key driver of these downgrades was the inclusion of the Bank of Cyprus acquisition and associated capital raisings. Without these factors earnings were less than 1% down in FY12 and 2% down in FY13. Valuation and Risks Our price target has increased to $8.50/share from $8.30/share reflecting the improvement in sector rating and is based broadly on the midpoint of our DCF and PE-based valuation. Main upside risk is an improvement in funding costs. The main downside risk is a material deterioration in deposit spreads.

Recommendation
Headwinds on many frontssearching for direction
BENs 1H12 result showed that it is a company facing a number of headwinds, including:
#
A significant spike in deposit competition, which has further harmed the previously solid economics of its large deposit book; An unprecedented 20% decline in the margin lending book in a half-year period, as negative equity markets and risk aversion dragged on this high margin business; A poor house price environment, which saw it earn negative revaluation income for the first time from the Homesafe Solutions product; and Rising securitisation costs, a flow through effect from unstable global debt markets.
Against this backdrop, in our view, BEN looks like a company that is searching for direction, with the recent acquisitions of Bank of Cyprus and NoQ striking us as movements away from BENs core banking competency. This suggests to us that the company is struggling to come to terms with the uncontrollable obstacles to better financial performance that it faces.
Its not all bad

Despite these headwinds, there is some cause for optimism, given:
#
BENs capital position has been repaired through the $150m institutional placement and forthcoming share purchase plan; Asset quality remains very strong, evidenced by stable arrears performance in most business lines and a very low bad debt charge for the period; and BENs funding base remains the most stable in the sector.
This suggests to us that BEN is in a stronger position to deal with the challenges it faces than it otherwise might be, albeit at a lower ROE.
but there is better value elsewhere in the sector

In the end, an investment thesis always comes down to price. On this front, we struggle to get excited given BEN is trading in-line with the majors on an FY12 PER basis, despite offering an EPS growth profile below that of the peers. We see significantly better value in ANZ, which is trading on roughly the same PER, and which has a well defined Asian growth strategy, a better diversified business model, and a stronger capital position than BEN.

While BEN does look attractive relative to its long run PE rel vs Industrials, this reflects the apparent value in the bank sector, rather than BEN being particularly cheap itself. Also as shown below, BEN looks unattractive when comparing its implied P/BV to its current and forecast ROE profile. BEN trading below LT PE rel to Industrials

Given the stock does not jump out at us from a valuation perspective, and that BENs strategic direction appears to be diverted somewhat from where we would like it to be, we have retained our HOLD recommendation at this point.

Earnings downgrades
We have made the following adjustments to our forecasts. Earnings Changes

NEW 336.2 344.3 390.4 421.4
336.2 343.5 379.6 406.6
The key drivers of the earnings changes were:

#
Inclusion of the Bank of Cyprus acquisition within the numbers, which largely offset the downgrades to the core business, driven by:
#
A lower margin starting point from 1H12, partially offset by an increase in 2H12 margin to reflect recent repricing decisions; Reduction in B/S due to a larger run off in the margin lending book in 1H12 than had been expected; Lower non Interest income following a weaker 1H12; and Small increase in the 2H12 BDD assumptions to reflect the seasonality that appears inherent in the business.
# #
Following these changes we are forecasting cash EPS growth of -4% in FY12 and 8% FY13 which is well below the average of the peers in FY12 before returning to the peer average in FY13. Impact on cash earnings excluding Bank of Cyprus We have provided a table below which looks at the adjustments to earnings excluding the impact from the Bank of Cyprus acquisitions. Earnings changes (excluding the impact of the Bank of Cyprus acquisition)
Cash Profit OLD FY11 FY12E FY13E FY14E

CHG % 0.0% -1.7% -2.9% -2.9%
336.2 343.5 379.6 406.6
As shown above excluding the impact of incorporating the Bank of Cyprus acquisition into our forecasts, the cash earnings for BEN fell by ~1.7% in FY12, 2.9% in FY13 and ~2.9% in FY14.
Page 6
20 February 2012
From the core (pre acquisition) businesses we believe BEN will deliver cash earnings growth of 0% in FY12 and 9% in FY13. This will see BEN at the bottom of the peers in FY12 before rising to slightly above the peer average in FY13.
Key Earnings Drivers

The table below provides a summary of the key drivers of our forecasts which include the acquisition of Bank of Cyprus. Key forecast drivers

61.2 0.7% 9.1%

We would flag that the growth rates in FY12 and FY13 have been impacted by the inclusion of Bank of Cyprus which we expect should provide full run rate benefits by FY13. Adjusting for the acquisition we are only forecasting:
# # # #
Asset growth of 2.0% in 2H12; Margin improvements in 2H12 of 3bps; Non Interest Income growth of 2%; and Cost growth of 2.0%.
We do not believe that these forecasts are overly aggressive, given the momentum from 1H12.
Page 7
20 February 2012
Key Issues
We believe the key issues coming out of BENs 1H12 result are as follows:
#
Margin pressure in 1H12 should alleviate in 2H12 on strong asset repricing benefits and higher capital; Recent acquisitions have been moving away from BENs core competencies; Continued P&L volatility from Homesafe Solutions; Subdued returns likely to continue for the foreseeable future; and Significant upside from Advanced accreditation but likely some years away, and by no means guaranteed.
# # # #
Margin pressure to alleviate in 2H12

BENs margin (down 6bps hoh, or down 7bps after Community Bank share) was impacted by a number of significant headwinds in the period, including:
# #
A decline in the margin lending book, with asset mix contributing -2bps; Significant deposit competition in the period (deposit pricing and hedging contributing 4bps); and Continued competition in mortgages.
Looking forward, we expect many of these pressures to be alleviated in 2H12, given:

#
The decline in the margin lending book is likely to have stabilized given a slight improvement in equity market sentiment of late. Furthermore, this book is now likely to be left to a core group who are attracted to the dynamics of margin lending; 15bps of out of cycle asset repricing is likely to drive a strong margin outcome in mortgages in 2H12; and Deposit competition, while remaining a drag, will become less onerous given much of the deposit base will have already repriced.
As shown in the table below, residential mortgages contribute more than 60% of total interest earning assets. Mortgages comprise > 60% of interest earning assets
1H12 ($m) Residential mortgage book Business Margin lending Unsecured/Other Loans Cash & investments Interest earning assets
Proportion of Interest earning assets 61% 20% 5% 2% 88% 12% 100%
32,482 10,750 2,564 1,037 46,833 6,128 52,961
Page 8
20 February 2012
Given the 15bps of out-of-cycle asset repricing announced in February, the full year run-rate benefit would be +8bps to the margin, as shown below. Asset repricing should add ~8bps to the margin on a full year basis
Residential mortgages ($m) Percent to reprice Out of cycle rate rise Full yr impact ($m) AIEA ($m) Full year impact
Source: Deutsche Bank, Company data
32,482 85% 0.15% 41 53,593 0.08%
Our forecasts allow for the majority of the repricing benefits to come through in 2H12, partly offset by continued flow through of deposit competition on that part of the deposit book that did not roll in 1H12.
Acquisitions moving away from core competency

We believe that recent acquisitions by BEN (Bank of Cyprus and the small investment in NoQ) are moving away from the companys core competency of banking and wealth management. While the Bank of Cyprus does suit BENs Community Bank focus, the deal appears to be driven more by financial metrics to us (capital, funding, and cost synergies), rather than a direct overlap with BENs core business model. As for NoQ, we are not inclined to make too much of a small strategic stake taken in a ecommerce business that is developing online and smart-phone applications for the retail and food and beverage industries. However, while there are some business overlaps with BEN, such acquisitions are unlikely to move the dial on earnings and returns for the group. Furthermore, we believe these types of transactions tend to distract management attention for little financial gain.
Continued P&L volatility from Homesafe Solutions

As shown in the chart below, revaluation income from the Homesafe Solutions product swung to a negative in 1H12. This item is likely to drive considerable volatility through the P&L on an ongoing basis. Management disclosed on the conference call that the average gain on sale of properties to date has been 9%, however as shown below there is a fairly direct correlation between house price index changes in Sydney and Melbourne and revaluation income.

Given this relationship we believe that BENs earnings may become somewhat hostage to market prices, thereby reducing the quality/reliability of earnings.
Subdued returns likely to continue

BEN continues to struggle to generate acceptable returns from its business. The ROE for the period was only 8.5% (on BENs measure of average ordinary equity). Given we estimate the groups cost of capital to be ~12%, the group is a long way off both acceptable returns relative to its own cost of capital, and the returns being generated by the Australian major banks.

We struggle to see this changing in the near term in fact, the situation on deposit competition has worsened over the last 12 months rather than improved. To the extent that the majors will need to continue to improve their net stable funding ratios in advance of Basel III requirements, it is likely to be some time before we can say that deposit competition has truly abated. Until then, the profit potential of BENs extensive deposit base is unlikely to improve by any great margin.
Page 10
20 February 2012
Advanced accreditation would be a positive move but likely some time off
BEN disclosed on the conference call that it intends to seek advanced accreditation with APRA under the Basel III standards. The rewards to such accreditation are significant. As shown below, BENs average risk weighting on mortgages is ~40% vs the average risk weighting of the majors housing book which have qualified for Advanced standing of ~19%. In other words, BEN is holding almost twice the level of capital on Australian mortgages than its larger peers. Risk weighting on mortgages is prohibitive

The move to attain accreditation is not without cost, however. BEN management estimate that the expenditure required (on items such as risk management systems, etc.) to attain Advanced standing would be ~$20m. While this estimate is significantly below the amounts spent by each of the major banks on the same process, BENs loan book is far less complicated than those of the majors, with the majority sitting within Australian housing, business lending, and margin lending.
Page 11
20 February 2012
Given the significant lead time and cost involved in attaining Advanced accreditation, and the fact that this is still subject to regulatory approval which will be difficult to obtain, we are reluctant to factor in the benefits until we are more certain about the likely success.

BEN reported cash earnings of $162.6m, 7% below the 2H11 result. The major drivers were: Net interest income # Net interest income was flat hoh, driven by a 7bps decline in the underlying margin.
#
Drivers of the margin decline included: 1) asset mix towards the lower margin mortgage lending, 2) reduction in margin lending balances, 3) higher deposit funding costs. Community Bank and Alliance share of margin has increased by 1bp, contributing further to the group margin decline. Management has indicated that the share would have been greater had they not implemented the changes to the owner manager agreement. Management expects the Community Bank share to continue to increase given the strong growth in the community bank franchises. The margin however will benefit from the 15bps repricing on the mortgage book in 2H12. Lending growth was relatively subdued, up 1%, with a large decline in the margin lending business and lower commercial lending offset by growth in mortgages and consumer lending. Management has indicated that they have pulled back in the 2Q given the increase in funding costs made mortgages unattractive.

Capital level is strong post the equity raising for BOCAL while funding remains solid # Core Tier 1 ratio under Basel II is 7.78%. Management expects the pro-forma Core Tier 1 ratio to be 7.59% as at 31 March 2012 post the SPP (retail equity raising) and the integration of the BOCAL assets.
#
Management has indicated that it has completed a feasibility study into a multi-year project towards achieving advanced accreditation status for capital purposes. However there is still uncertainty over whether the status can be achieved given it will ultimately be subject to regulatory approval. Funding position for BEN continues to improve with retail deposits now making up 77% of total funded assets. The bank is expected to retire ~$600m in term debt maturing in March this year which will leave it in the enviable position of having no wholesale term debt at all. The bank will continue to monitor the wholesale funding market and will issue once the costs become more economical.

Risks
Key upside risks for BEN:
#
Significant improvement in credit market conditions and abatement in deposit competition. BEN should benefit from lower deposit rates given its significant exposure to deposits as a funding source; Improvements in securitisation markets; and Sharp rebound in equity markets, resulting in a recovery in the margin lending portfolio.
# #
Key downside risks for BEN:

# # #
Increased competition for retail deposits, resulting in margin reduction; Subdued lending growth in housing; and Decline in house prices resulting in negative Homeside valuation income.

The information and opinions in this report were prepared by Deutsche Bank AG or one of its affiliates (collectively "Deutsche Bank"). The information herein is believed to be reliable and has been obtained from public sources believed to be reliable. Deutsche Bank makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Deutsche Bank may engage in securities transactions, on a proprietary basis or otherwise, in a manner inconsistent with the view taken in this research report. In addition, others within Deutsche Bank, including strategists and sales staff, may take a view that is inconsistent with that taken in this research report. Opinions, estimates and projections in this report constitute the current judgement of the author as of the date of this report. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without notice. Deutsche Bank has no obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to otherwise notify a recipient thereof in the event that any opinion, forecast or estimate set forth herein, changes or subsequently becomes inaccurate. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice. This report is provided for informational purposes only. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst judgement. As a result of Deutsche Banks March 2010 acquisition of BHF-Bank AG, a security may be covered by more than one analyst within the Deutsche Bank group. Each of these analysts may use differing methodologies to value the security; as a result, the recommendations may differ and the price targets and estimates of each may vary widely. In August 2009, Deutsche Bank instituted a new policy whereby analysts may choose not to set or maintain a target price of certain issuers under coverage with a Hold rating. In particular, this will typically occur for "Hold" rated stocks having a market cap smaller than most other companies in its sector or region. We believe that such policy will allow us to make best use of our resources. Please visit our website at http://gm.db.com to determine the target price of any stock. The financial instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed investment decisions. Stock transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Deutsche Bank may with respect to securities covered by this report, sell to or buy from customers on a principal basis, and consider this report in deciding to trade on a proprietary basis. Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the investor's home jurisdiction.
