► Many of the problems plaguing the financial system are being addressed
Spain’s banks are tackling many of the weaknesses that were exposed by the
financial crisis, while laws have been passed to strengthen solvency and allow Cajas
in need of capital to tap private investors.
► The concentration process might backfire on the Cajas
We estimate that the lower profits related to the loss in market share and the cost of
reducing payrolls could be as large as all the help received by the Fund for Orderly
Bank Restructuring (EUR11.5bn). In our view the system might need EUR26bn in
extra capital (beyond the funds already committed) for a total EUR55bn bail-out.
► No reason to turn optimistic on any domestic Spanish banks
Spain’s banks might find 2011 the most challenging year since the beginning of the
Sector relative to DJ STOXX50 crisis. Economic growth will be soft and unemployment high, while the banks might be
500
hit with impairments and have profitability levels unlikely to surpass the cost of capital.
► Only SAN merits an Outperform rating. BBVA rated Neutral

Investment Case

Cato the Elder (a Roman Consul, 234BC-149BC) was said to always end his speeches
with some variation of the expression “Carthago delenda est” (Carthage must be
destroyed) even if he had not been discussing Carthage. His purpose was to remind the
Romans that their number one priority was to destroy the city that almost annihilated
Rome around 215BC. As we all know, Carthage was indeed destroyed (in 146BC), thus
settling the problem forever. Similarly, anybody writing about Spanish banks over the past
few years could have finished with “We need to acknowledge the problems”.

It is undeniable that since the beginning of the crisis four years ago steps have been
taken to address the most pressing problems confronting Spain’s financial system. The
situation is completely different today. Institutions have written down part of their loans,
strengthened their capital and improved funding. The financial system has provisioned
an amount equivalent to 10% of GDP to deal with deteriorating credit quality.

Spain’s financial system has embarked on the most important restructuring in its history
to improve efficiency and smooth banks’ access to the funding markets. A new law
strengthens solvency and allows Cajas in search of capital to accept investment from
private investors. Those institutions that do not reach the new levels of capital required
also have the alternative of receiving funds from the FROB.

Having said that, we see no reason to turn optimistic on any of the domestic Spanish
banks we cover. Spain’s banks might find 2011 the most challenging year since the
beginning of the crisis. Economic growth will be soft and unemployment high, while the
country’s banks will face impairments related to credit losses, a mortgage bubble and
profitability levels unlikely to surpass the cost of capital in the medium term. Downside
is more limited now that the companies have better capital ratios and after the 60%
decline in the share prices over the past three years, but we remain cautious even
though domestic bank shares are trading at an average 0.9x 2011E P/TBV.

The Spanish economy is still very vulnerable, in our opinion, despite signs of
improvement in certain indicators. The EU expects Spain to grow below the EU average
for at least four years in a row and below the annual 2.0% growth threshold we deem
necessary for the country to create jobs. Growth in economies like Germany is likely to
positively affect the Spanish economy, as will some of the austerity measures recently
taken, which go in the right direction. However:

Private sector debt could cloud the economic outlook: The ECB’s negative real
interest rate policy paved the way for economic growth but fuelled the private credit
bubble. Households and companies borrowed excessively and their debt levels swelled
to record highs (116% of GDP). We estimate that private sector debt as a % of GDP
might decline by at least 20 full percentage points over the next 3-5 years. Spanish
Government debt as a % of GDP seems to be manageable (70% by the end of 2011)
but refinancing costs are likely to be quite sensitive to Spanish country risk

Unemployment remains Spain’s biggest and most intractable problem: The


unemployment rate has surpassed 20% three times during the past 25 years and has
averaged 16.4% since 1980. The unemployment rate has tripled in three years to
20.3% (in 1.3m families all the members are unemployed and 2.1m people have been
unemployed for more than a year) and the country has experienced a 2.1m reduction in
the number of employed since 2007). The size of the informal economy is big, but in-
depth reform is needed to enhance labour market flexibility.

A major de-leveraging effort is needed. The loan book in Spain multiplied by 3.5x
from 2000-2007; during this time, lending to developers increased 12.5x, a 37% annual
average rate. Loan growth turned negative in August 2009 and is likely, in our view, to
remain at depressed levels in the short to medium term.

We believe that house prices are still 25% overvalued. Mortgage rates have been
negative in real terms during the past two years, which has helped to maintain the
bubble given that 100% of Spain’s mortgages are floating rate indexed (the affordability
index has improved from 42% of disposable income to 26.5%). House price to income
ratios (6.6 years) and nationwide rental yields (implying a 26.5x P/E) remain quite
expensive in absolute and relative terms (25% above the 1995-2008 average). We also
estimate a 1.1m oversupply of houses (four years of sales at the current pace) and we
are concerned about tail risk given that 16% of all the mortgages issued between 2005-
2007 had a LTV>80% and 3.9% of all the residential mortgages have a LTV>100%.

NPLs are still an issue. NPL formation is slowing but we believe reported numbers do
not reflect the system’s true credit quality. 1) Should all the provisions available in
Spain be allocated to the developer exposure, they would cover just 20% of the risk to
the sector; 2) some of the harsh assumptions in the July Stress Test might actually
materialise and minor variations in the expected losses versus expectations could have
serious implications for the solvency of some institutions.

The liquidity and capital positions have improved and seem to be manageable
among the listed banks, although costs are likely to remain high. The deposit war
is easing and the net lending from the ECB has been reduced. More than 50% of the
outstanding medium and long term debt matures after 2013 (with less than 3.0% of
liabilities maturing p.a.). The LTD ratio has improved by 38pp during the past three
years but uncertainties surrounding the country risk and volatility in the wholesale
funding markets could clearly put Spanish institutions under severe stress.

According to our estimates, banks could have core Tier 1 ratios approaching 10.0% by
2013, which seems reasonable considering the impairment charges booked, the capacity
to absorb additional losses and a moderate 53bp average deduction related to Basle 3.

According to our estimates, the ROTE on the major listed banks is likely to decline
by close to 40% during the next three years versus the 2007-2010 period. We expect
ROTE to average 10.0% (7.6% among domestic banks), below the cost of capital (except
for SAN and BBVA). Revenue generation is likely to be negatively affected by a lower
contribution from ALCO portfolios (10% of NII) and by generic provisions. After releasing
EUR4.2bn of generics during 2010 (equivalent to 53% of the PBT), there are only
EUR2.5bn of generics left, and these might last less than two quarters.

The crisis has triggered the largest banking restructuring ever seen in Spain with the
original 45 Cajas giving way to 17 groups. The recent legal changes aim to reinforce
solvency and to facilitate the entrance of private investors. Core capital of 8% will be
required (10% under certain circumstances) and those banks that cannot increase their
capital on the market (they have until September to do so) could apply to the FROB.
The final numbers are unknown but the most extensive process of concentration in the
history of the country is likely to be, in our opinion, the most expensive too:
a) As we are in uncharted waters, unusually large losses are a possibility. We
estimate that if the Expected Losses in the construction and developer book are 100bp
worse than the current stress test estimates and 50bp worse in the rest of the portfolio,
Cajas could need EUR6bn in provisions, equivalent to close to 10% of their equity.
b) The concentration process might backfire. A 20% reduction in the Cajas’
capacity (5,000 branches) would imply a very significant loss in market share.
Assuming spreads are maintained, every 1% loss in market share implies, according to
our calculations, a 7% reduction in after tax profits. More importantly, restructuring
costs are underestimated, in our opinion. The cost of having employees take early
retirement, incurred as part of the SAN and BBVA mergers with Central Hispano and
Argentaria, represented 19% and 15% respectively of the two groups’ consolidated net
income for five years. Restructuring the Cajas is likely to be significantly more
expensive. We expect an 18% reduction in the number of employees (24,000 people)
with a potential cost of EUR7bn. If we combine the two effects (10% loss in market
share and 18% reduction in employees), the amount represents EUR11bn, similar to all
the help provided by the FROB and equivalent to 2-3 years of profits.
c) On March 10th the Bank of Spain disclosed that 12 institutions would need
to raise EUR15.1bn in capital to comply with the new capital requirements.
However we estimate that the system might need an additional EUR26bn (beyond
the funds already committed) for a total bail-out of the Cajas of EUR55bn. The key
point, in our opinion, is to find out what the right level of capital (and provisions) might
be to restore confidence among international institutional investors (note that we say
institutional, not domestic retail investors) so an investment in a local bank might
become a credible option. The issue is not the capital needed to survive, in our view,
but the capital position on a going concern basis that promotes private investment.

We believe the SAN story still looks attractive and it is the only company we rate
as Outperform. The company offers 1) diversified growth with a resilient business
model. We expect EUR31bn in profits in the 2011-2013 period, with nine different
business areas contributing more than 5% each to the bottom line (Spain represents
less than 20% of valuation), 2) we estimate an average 19% ROTE in the 2011-2013
period (with an average annual Tangible Equity per share growth of 9% and a 7.2%
dividend yield), 3) comfortable liquidity and solvency. Santander has average maturities
of 1.7% of total assets pa from 2011-2015 and a EUR100bn discount capacity available
at central banks. We expect SAN to accumulate 45bps of core capital per year and
estimate a 9.3% core Tier 1 capital ratio by the end of 2013 after absorbing a 75bp hit
related to Basle 3.

The story is not immune to a double dip scenario and to an increase in risk aversion to
emerging markets, and we see some potential problems: 1) credit risk is concentrated
in markets that have credit quality pressure (70% of the loan book is in Continental
Europe and the UK), 2) the bank only has EUR768m of generic provisions left in Spain
and 3) capital allocation and long-term strategy could be an issue given that the
acquisition-led business model is highly capital intensive.

We rate BBVA Neutral. Turkey is quite an interesting medium-term option but it is


dilutive in the short term. Additional synergies in an already efficient and profitable bank
might be marginally more difficult to achieve and the path to control is still some years
away. The long-term potential of the market is significant and BBVA might diversify its
earnings mix, but concerns about the embedded dilution and what appears to be a
relatively rich valuation might impact the share price.

Going forward, we expect the bank to report EUR16.1bn in profits in the 2011-2013
period (with Spain representing 25%-30% and Latam and Turkey 60%) with an
average ROTE close to 16%. The company is reporting a slowdown in NPL
formation, has no major liquidity issues and could accumulate 66bp of core capital pa
over the next three years for an 11.6% ratio by the end of 2013 (enough to deal with
a Basel III impact of 60bp).

We believe, however, that the unusually high rates of return of 2004-2008 are likely to
decline by 40% and we expect EPS to fall by 11% in 2011 due to the acquisition of
Garanti. In our view the major medium-term problem for the share price is related to the
corporate strategy, as some of the bank’s major strategic decisions over the past few
years could be questioned, like the creation of the US franchise (2% return on capital
employed after four years), the exit of the Brazilian market and the failure to close the
acquisition of BNL after launching a tender offer in 2005.

8 Spanish banks
We value all the Spanish banks using a sustainable Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE)
approach. We adjust earnings to eliminate extraordinaries and non banking
subsidiaries and consider any excess / deficit of capital plus dividends. We then value
equity assuming a zero rate of growth beyond our explicit forecast period as the market
is unwilling to give banks credit for such development. Our SOTP approach for SAN
and BBVA is based on sustainable Returns by division.

The sector is trading at an average of 1.0x P/TBV, but we expect returns below the cost
of capital for the next three years for the domestic banks. We estimate that only SAN
and BBVA will be able to beat their cost of capital in the short to medium term.

An index of the pure domestic banks has outperformed the SX7P over the past 10
years. Most of the outperformance was related to the evolution during the bubble years.
In absolute terms, domestic banks have declined by 40% over the past decade.

9 Spanish banks
The domestic banks we cover are trading at an all time low in terms of Price to Book,
but that does not mean the stocks are cheap. It is true that the P/BV multiple stands
61% below the historical average but the ROE has declined, on average, in the same
proportion. Domestic banks trade, on average, at a 3% premium versus the past 10
years average in terms of P/E, and more importantly, a similar premium is also
maintained should we compare the ROTE with the P/TBV (see the figure below)

Both SAN and BBVA have outperformed the SX7P over the past 10 years (although
SAN is the only bank to have posted a positive total return). The two companies are
trading at an average of 1.4x 2011 P/TBV with expect returns above 17%, according to
our estimates. Comparing the current P/TBV with the expected ROTE we see that both
companies are trading close to their historical averages.
