The banking sector


There are some great opportunities for growth in Brazil’s banking sector today.

Credit to GDP

The first factor that sustains this growth is the proportion of borrowing to GDP

The chart below suggests that there is space for credit expansion as the economy is
developing.

Access to banks
The second point holding the assumption is a survey made by Locomotiva Institute, showing
that 34 million people don’t even have a bank account or are underbanked.

There are 16 million unbanked people and 17.7 million under-banked.

That amount translates to approximately 15% of the total population which handles BRL 347
billion per year.

That fact sustains the assumption that there’ll be organic growth in the whole sector once
those people start using banks.

Digitalization

Another factor is digitalization. Banks changed drastically in Brazil in the last few years,
today 80% of bank transactions are made in digital ways.

This change comes as good for banks. It’s an incentive to reduce the high number of
agencies, consequently reducing expenses as well.

Profitability

The banking sector in Brazil is divided into very few large banks and fintechs.

These big banks can work with more elevated fees due to their credibility, this translates into
higher profit margins than other common banks.

Credit Portfolio

Some risk factors are key to investing in good financial institutions, there are three factors to
the credit portfolio that every investor has to monitor carefully:

Non-performing Loans (NPL)


Provision for credit losses (PCL)
Portfolio Quality

The figure below shows the NPL of the four biggest traditional banks over 90 days, we can
see that the NPL from these banks is about 2% to 3%.

In this case the lower the NPL the better, NPL means the clients and companies that don’t
repay their borrowings.

The second important point is the PCL, the higher the PCL the better because we can have
more clearance of how the credit portfolio is going to perform.

The higher it is, the smaller the chances that the losses surpass the profits.

And the contrary is also true, with a smaller PCL the profits may be more unstable.

Banco do Brasil has historically a smaller PCL than other banks. However, this can be
explained due to the fact it’s a state bank, in case of problems Banco do Brasil can have the
support of the government.

The third point is to analyze the portfolio quality. To do that we have to look for two factors,
the concentration % of the portfolio in types of clients (individuals/companies) and second to
look at the ratings.

Individuals Companies

Source: Bank’s results release

As you can see Banco do Brasil concentrates most part of its portfolio on individuals.

Usually when a bank has a higher individuals concentration means it has a riskier portfolio.
However, the bank can gain more lending to a person than to companies in general.

For one thing, the period that a person has to repay the borrowing is lower than for
companies, and the bank can charge a higher interest.

Companies tend to be less profitable to banks, the bigger the company size the tendency is
to be less worthwhile.

The third important factor when analyzing the portfolio quality is its rating.

Down below we can see the company portfolio rating of the biggest financial institutions of
SFN(National Financial System in Brazil)

Figure 8: Rating

VALUATION R E P O R T by Nava Invest

As we can see Banco do Brasil has great exposure nationally.


This can benefit a lot as well as bring downside to the bank.

-

The upside is that in a scenario of economic recovery BB can grow a lot, on the other hand,
it makes the bank fragile to new recessions.

BIS Ratio

The BIS Ratio is used to measure the leverage level of the bank is in.

The core business of banks is to lend credit, gaining interest in exchange. Banks need to
leverage themselves to do that, but they have to be good at it to develop a solid operation.

BIS ratio is composed of two numbers:

Capital / Risk Weighted Assets = BIS Ratio

Compares the total amount of capital to the total amount of money landed to clients.

The higher this ratio the better, meaning that the institution is healthy financially.

Brazil’s central bank demands an 11% BIS ratio at least, for any financial institution.

The Company

8
-

Banco do Brasil is a state bank, with 50% of the stock owned by the government and 50%
on the free float divided between foreign capital, domestic, and treasury.

Ownership structure

Source: Banco do Brasil

Banco do Brasil is the only bank listed on the “Novo Mercado” (which suggests good
corporate governance practices.)

Its ordinary stock is under the code BBSA3.

It also is on the American stock exchange under the code BDORY.

The administrative board of Banco do Brasil is composed by 4 Members indicated of the


ministry of economy, 2 members indicated by non-controlling stockholders, one member
elected by the employees, and the last one chosen by Brazil’s central bank.

Credit Portfolio
As addressed in the sector analysis part, the major part of Banco do Brazil’s credit portfolio
is composed of individual persons, 61%, as the 39% left is composed of companies of all
sizes, and the government. Inside this portfolio, the Agribusiness stands out if you compare
it to other banks’ portfolios.

One

commodities prices.

Risk Points

11
-

Government

2022 elections can influence the price of the company, a new government can lead to
uncertainties, making the company suffer as half of Banco do Brasil is controlled by the
state. Another point is, the government may adopt policies that directly affect Banco do
Brasil's operations and diverge from the interests of investors, leading to a decrease.

Cybersecurity incidents

Due to the nature of its activities, Banco do Brasil operates in an environment subject to
cybersecurity failures and incidents, based on Information Technology (IT), which also
includes the equipment used by employees in remote work and the environments of
integrated suppliers to the Bank's internal environment.

High regulation

Banks are highly regulated due to their economic importance. These measures can affect
the performance of the institution.

Sensible to Interest rate

The economic interest rate is a key factor in the bank’s margin, when this interest is low, the
margins tend to follow the same path.

High Competition with digitalization fintechs

A new trend of fintechs is happening in Brazil’s financial market, these fintechs are famous
for charging less from clients, that is a risk because Banco do Brasil has to adapt to keep
going with its market share piece.

Less PCL

Due to its historic low PCL in scenarios where you can’t see where the economy is going,
like in recessions, it’s difficult to have a clean expectation of profits, it’s more volatile.

Agribusiness portfolio

As said Banco do Brasil has a very high exposition in the agribusiness which can lead to
also high exposition on commodities prices.

Financial analysis and valuation

Valuation

12
-

To find the intrinsic value of Banco do Brasil we’ve utilized two models: First the ratio P/BV
and second a discounted dividend model (DDM).

P/BV Ratio

Utilizing the book value as a proxy of cash flow can be a good move, given that most of its
assets are marked to market constantly.

The Price to Book Value (P/BV) ratio is a measurement of how much an investor pays for a
stock over its book value.

Book value is the total tangible net assets in the balance sheet of a company after deducting
its liabilities. In other words, it is the net worth per share.

The Price to Book Value ratio compares the market price of a stock to its book value to
assess whether the stock price is over the book value and by how much or whether it is
trading below its book value.

First, we have to realize that Banco do Brasil is used to having a lower P/BV than its
competitors.

Many things can lead to that, but in this specific case is because half of the company is
controlled by the government. When a company is controlled by the state the stockholders
usually have a higher level of mistrust, leading to a historically lower ratio.

The average for this ratio negotiated by BBAS3 looking 10 years back, is 1,2x.

Today’s share price is being negotiated at the price of 35,68 by a P/BV of 0,70.

If you compared this ratio with the historic one, you have an intrinsic value of 61,16.

The P/BV average negotiated by the competitors is 1,6x.

Assuming Banco do Brasil become a private company like its competitors, it is fair to think
that the company would have a similar P/BV to the other players. In a private scenario with
this today’s numbers, Banco do Brasil would have an intrinsic value of 81,55.

We

REanP Oupside
R T byofNava
71% Invest
if the company continues to be controlled by the state and an
upside of 129% if it becomes private considering the P/BV ratio as the metric.

Dividend discounted model

Given that Banco do Brasil is known for its dividend payment is fair to assume that the
company is going to keep with the payments to the stockholders, this is why I used this
model of valuation, having the dividends as a base.

13
-

The first step is to calculate the Cost of Equity (KE) to discount the expected dividends to a
present value.

We utilized 12,48% as free risk rate BR added with 5% of price risk with a total KE of
17,48%

Figure 13: Assumptions of DDM

Source: Nava Invest

To estimate the dividend growth for the next year we considered the annual growth of the
last 5 years.

Revising the last payments, we got that in the last 5 years Banco do Brasil’s payments to
stockholders had a solid growth of 25%.

We assumed that until 2026 these payments will grow at a rate of 25% a year and after this,
they’ll have a perpetual growth of 4% which is today’s expected inflation.

Figure 14: DDM forecasted until 2026

VALUATION R E P O R T by Nava Invest

These assumptions result in an intrinsic value of 45,72, which is a 28% upside looking at
dividends.

DCF models are extremely sensitive to two variables Perpetual growth and Cost of Equity.

-

To verify how the intrinsic value fluctuates when the Perpetual growth and KE are changed,
we can do a sensibility model.

Conclusion

The baking sector has solid drivers that historic have given great gaining opportunities to
stockholders.

Banco do Brasil is in a scenario that can benefit its profits, and its value. We believe that the
company is underpriced.

Just by looking at the greatest indicator for measuring banks, the P/BV, we can see that
Banco do Brasil has a good advantage over any other bank.

A solid upside of 71% as mentioned, and in a scenario of privatization can go even further
with a 129% upside.

Despite having this mistrust as being a company controlled by the state, Banco do Brasil has
delivered very positive results.

By the end the last year, the company was able to raise its net income by 51.4% closing the
year in R$ 21 billion.

This great year was a result of credit businesses, services, good control of administrative
expenses and some measures to improve the efficiency, one example of this is the closing
of some branches as said.

The credit portfolio also grew 17,5% in one year closing 2021 with R$ 875 billion, a result
never seen before.

The NPL of the total portfolios was very low compared to other players in the sector.

Agribusiness is the major driver of this credit portfolio and we believe that the tendency is to
grow even more than the last year, workers from this business know Banco do Brasil is an
Agri Bank, that’s an important advantage.

To sum up we believe Banco do Brasil is not only delivering great results but also, has a
great potential for growth in the next years, keeping that same line of operation.

On this report we saw that the baking sector in Brazil has a lot to grow yet and one of the
institutions that you can take advantage of this growth is Banco do Brasil.

The company is attractive looking at a dividend side point as well as ratios like P/BV.

16
-

Our recommendation is to buy at a price range of R$ 35 – R$40 with a target price of R$55.
