(Consultative Group to Assist the Poor) and J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan analysts are solely ‘responsible for the investment opinions and recommendations in this report Our objective is to provide benchmarks for valuation of microfinance equity, both private and publicly listed. Our analysis is based on two datasets: a sample of 144 private equity transactions, which represents the largest such dataset gathered to date, and data on 10 publicly traded microfinance institutions (MFIs) and low: income consumer lenders:? ‘MFls will certainly be affected by the financial crisis ricocheting across the ‘globe, but we believe that the sector is fundamentally sound. Larger institutions, ‘especially those with diversified funding sources, such as retail deposits, are best positioned to manage the effects of economic and financial contraction. Valuations ‘may change, but we believe the long-term outlook for equity investment in microfinance is positive. Private equity valuations for MFIs have varied widely over the past few years. Historical median valuations in our private sample have varied between 1.3x and 1.9x historical book, and between 7.2x and 7.9x historical earnings over the four-year period, as shown in Table 1 below. The considerable range of these indicators may indicate the lack of market consensus on MFI valuation, Publicly listed Low-Income Finance Institutions (LIFIs) have outperformed traditional banks. Since its creation in 2003, our Low-Income Finance Index has ‘outperformed the Global MSCI World Financials index® by 238% (and has ‘outperformed this benchmark by 10% since the Lehman bankruptey in September 2008). LIFIs now trade slightly higher than traditional banks on price-to-book basis (1.9x 08 book for LIFIs versus 1.5x for emerging banks as of January 28, 2009), On 2 2009 price-to-earnings basis, LIFIs are trading at a 22% discount to traditional ‘banks, as shown in Table 2. Investors should not value MFIs the same way they value traditional banks. We highlight five characteristics that differentiate MFIs from traditional banks and that, ‘we argue, justify a slightly different valuation approach: 2 double bottom fine that ‘ims for both social and financial returns; excellent asset quality; high net interest ‘margins (NIMs); high operating costs, and longer-term funding available from developmental investors, CGAP is an independent policy and research center dedicated to advancing Financial access for the worlds poor. It is supported by over 30 development agencies and private foundations that share a common mission to alleviate poverty. Housed atthe World Bank, CGAP provides ‘marke intelligence, promotes standards, develops innovative solutions and offers advisory services to governments, microfinance providers, donors, and investors ecause there are few publily sted MFls, we considered a group of 10 financial institutions targeting low-income individuals, and note that their business models are very diverse 2 The Giobsl MSCI World Financials Index isa ftee-float weighted equity index. It was developed witha base value of 100 as of December 31, 1998, Nick © Dononoe rick ederchoe@ipmorgan.com lzabet itll slsteraa@wotdbark org ‘cobal Research JPMorgan Book value and earnings multiples are the most widely used valuation tools but we also recommend the res ycome method, Relative valuation methods, such as price-to-book, and, toa lesser extent, price-to-eamings, multiples remain the most ual ‘common valuation methods in microfinance equity. An absolute valuation method, the residual income method, would also be appropriate for MFIs because it combines the current book value with future earnings. ‘Microfinance valuations should benefit from a lower beta than banks, in our view, but they also deserve a discount for the limited liquidity of the equity. Because of the higher resilience of their business to economic shocks, MFIs” ‘earnings are generally less Volatile than traditional banks", At the same time, valuations merit a liquidity discount because of the small transaction size in the microfinance space, Unfortunately, no tools are available to quantify this discount ‘Transaction value and net income growth are the main drivers of valuation, as ‘evidenced by our statistical analysis. We underline the importance of eight other factors that we also view as important: (i) the type of buyer and its possible social ‘motivation; i) the country of the MFI; (i) the legal status of the MFI, in particularit itis a fully regulated bank; /iv) operating efficiency; (v) leverage: (vi) the reliance on retail deposits (financial intermediation); (vii) asset quality; and (vit) profitability (as ‘measured by the ROE). ‘Table : Privato Transactions: Valuations Rebounded in 2008 store PE itoreal FBV Sanpie Period Unweighted Median ——-Unweighed Median * ‘era ‘verge iS ¢ m 26 be a ar ‘a za08 Table 2: Public Transactions: Low-income Finance Institutions Exhibit Higher IBV but Lower IE Than Emerging Market Banks PRY PE wate __ oe | ora o_o Towncoma Finance ade 1g 18) 7565) Emerging Markets Banks in Anais 21818 esas Enereng Europe os too 5D a 12 ta 1 8a Ne 1B sa 85 ar ng Markets Banks wos Aas ‘Source: Bloomber, Company da, P.

As of December 2008, there were 24 specialized microfinance equity funds with total assets of USS1.S billion under management. Institutional investors are also showing interest in this new market niche, Leading pension funds, such as TIAA CREF in the United States and ABP in Europe, have made microfinance equity allocations of over US$100 million as part of their socially responsible investment (SRI) strategies, (Others ate researching the field and waiting for clearer market conditions to invest Venture capital companies such as Sequoia and a few large private equity funds such as Legatum’ are testing the market with small equity investments in MFIs, with near term potential for an initial publie offering (IPO) in key emerging markets, like India, While interest in microfinance equity investments soars, the actual microfinance ‘equity market is still in its infancy. Primary issuances are still limited by the small ‘pool of investable MFIs and by the absence of an organized secondary market. A vast majority of transactions are in the form of private placements, To date, only two pure microfinance IPOs have taken place (Compartamos in Mexico and Equity Bank in Kenya), and current market conditions are not favorable to new ones, ‘The scarcity of information on microfinance valuation is a major challenge to establishing microfinance equity as an investment niche, Investors and MFIs are looking for reliable and accessible market references to improve equity pricing. However, little research has been done on microfinance equity valuation, duc fo the difficulty in accessing private data ‘This paper is an attempt to offer some useful benchmarks to investors, microfinance ‘managers and analysts and help build market transparency, As we write this paper, we are caught up in an unprecedented financial crisis and a truly global economic contraction. Liquidity shortages, currency dislocations and. ‘global recession will all affect MFIs and their clients in different ways. The impact, of the crisis should become clearer over the course of 2009, Inthe short run, we expect to see higher costs of funding due to tighter credit and to weaker emerging ‘markets currencies relative to dollar-denominated loans. In the medium term we can foresee slower growth and lower earnings power. ‘MFIs will have to seek funding from public agencies and development finance institutions’ to maintain their liquidity as commercial funders withdraw. They will need to strengthen their asset and liability management capabilities and be ever more vigilant about credit standards to maintain their outstanding asset quality. The crisis ‘may force some consolidation in the sector and it will almost certainly put pressure ‘on valuations. We anticipate no new listings in the short term. As for Valuations, we ‘expect multiples of private transactions to drop toward 1x book value in 2009 from a # Sequoia invested USS11.5 million in SKS, leading Indian MFT, and Legatum invested in Share, another microfinance leader i Indi, 5 Barclay O'Brien, Valuing Microfinance Institutions, Savings and Development: Quaterly Review Issue 3-2006, Milan ° See CGAP Virtual Conference: “Microfin 2008, * please see the glossary in Appendix I fora definition of development finance institutions. ce and the Financial Crisis", November 18-20, Nick © Dononae ‘ek eserchos@iemorgan.com lzabet ills sterela@wondbarorg Table 8: Our Sample Represents the Largest Available Dataset to Date Traction Transactions ® uss) 5 2 707 969.182 206 a ssa 207 sr 440.950 208 8 sogacaars NR 4 3307321 Tea a4 518451 ‘obal Research JPMorgan ‘median of 1.9x in 2008, However, the strong fundamentals of the mierofinanee industry and the commitment of public and socially responsible investors should bolster pricing going forward, MFls with a solid funding base and strong asset ‘quality should emerge stronger from this turbulence, and we can expect valuations 10 bounce back in 2010, ‘Our ambition is to provide a benchmark for valuation, In this paper, we intend to address some of the key questions facing microfinance investors and MFIs: What is unique about the microfinance sector that may justify an original valuation approach? ‘What are the valuation methodologies used? What are the key valuation drivers for private placements in microfinance? What is the performance of microfinance on the private and public markets, in both absolute and relative terms? What arc the challenges ahead for this new market niche in the context of the financial crisis? ‘This paper consists of four parts. In te first part, we underline what makes MFIs . Maren aaj er, urges ep Ana), ans aan oid sage a merce an, erg oD In terms of indicators, the ratios of operating expenses to total assets or operating ‘expenses fo total loans appear to be the most relevant. Other popular measures are the cost per borrower (Operating Expenses / Average Number of Active Borrowers), Nick ODoronoe rick eaerchoe@ipmergan.com Elzabeth ills slsterata@wondbareorg ‘opal Research JPMorgan staff productivity (Number of Active Borrowers / Total Staff) and the loan officer productivity (Number of Active Borrowers / Number of Loan Officers). Effect of the crisis on operating costs (MFIs have seen their operating costs increase in the first half of 2008 as a result of inflation and higher input costs, Staff costs and transportation costs have been affected the most, with a spike of over 30% reported in Latin American countries, In 2009, we expect inflation to return to Tower levels, thus reducing the pressure on ‘wage increases and transportation costs. However, operational efficiency, as ‘measured by operating expenses to loans, may decrease as a result of slow or even negative growth in the microfinance portfolio, MFI staff productivity might also suffer as credit agents allocate more time to loan monitoring and collection, E, Longer-Term Funding In some markets, the eredit squeeze is affecting MFIs by making funds more difficult to obtain, more costly, and available in shorter maturity, Therefore, in our analysis, ‘we paid special attention to the liabilities side of MFIs" balance sheets: equity, deposits, and other funding.

I's produets include lending and voluntary savings products, fund transfer services, training, and consulting services. We estimate that only a third ofits loan book targets microentrepreneurs, the ‘remainder is offered to individuals, SMEs, or corporate clients. The bank lends to approximately 30 million retail clients through its over 4,000 branches, units, and rural service posts. I also has a comparatively small, but growing, corporate business. It's currently a 70% government-owned operating company (Persero) and was government owned since the War of Independence (1945 to 1949) to November 2003, when 30% of its shares were sold through an IPO. BRI’s IPO happened in a context of state privatizations, along with other banks, Risks BRI’s strength accrues from its robust microlending model. Key risks are related to the recent rapid loan growth. Our main concem about BRI is its recent rapid Joan growth from (i) the subsidized KUR scheme (disbursement of Rp10T in 2Q08) and (i) its portfolio of corporate loans. Because these are recent additions to BRI's books, we believe that the credit behavior of these two segments has not been fully tested yet and could potentially pose risks for asset quality down the line, which could affect our PT and outlook on the stack, Valuation ur June 2009 PT of Rp6,750 is derived from a DDM model.

Danamon has the widest geographic distribution network of all Indonesian banks, with 500 branch offices and 790 ATMs; it is well-supported by more than 13,000 employees. Danamon is recognized as Indonesia’s leading SME and consumer bank and also serves corporate and institutional customers across Indonesia, Presently, Asia Financial Indonesia Pte, Ltd (AFT) owns 66% of Danamon shares.

As of September 2008, Danamon had total assets of $11.0 million and a gross loan portfolio of $7.0 million. Risks ‘Rising expenses and declining margins represent two key risks to earnings. We think that BDMN’s recent underperformance reflects investors’ concem on its business model and high LDR in a period of tightening liquidity and risk to asset quality. However, we view these risks as cyclical rather than structural ‘Valuation ur June 2009 PT of Rp6,600 is derived from a DDM model.
