First Ukrainian International Bank (PUMBUZ) reported improved 2012 financials (under UAS) compared to 2011, despite its 4Q12 appearing weaker yoy.



In 4Q12, the bank’s net interest income decreased 18% yoy on flat interest expenses and a 9% decline in interest income. The decline was apparently driven by a cut in loan interest rates. The bank’s loan portfolio improved 5% yoy, while term deposits increased 14% yoy. Total client accounts fell 13% yoy on a 49% yoy drop in corporate call deposits. For FY12, the bank improved its net interest income 2% yoy to UAH 1.5 bln.



Despite an interest income decline in 4Q12, the bank managed to keep cost/income ratio flat qoq at 43% (vs. 49% in 4Q11), thus finding a sustainable level after a spike to 75% in 1Q12, which we attributed to extra costs incurred from its merger with Dongorbank. Stabilized costs resulted in improved cost/income for FY12 to 53% (from 54% in 9M12), while the ratio was higher than a year before (43%).



The bank posted a 28% decline in net profit for 4Q12 (to UAH 71 mln), while profit for FY12 improved 1% to UAH 271 mln. The latter was achieved by 15% yoy smaller loan loss provisions: pre-provisioning and pre-tax profit was 5% weaker yoy in 2012 (at UAH 990 mln).



The bank’s assets declined 19% yoy (by UAH 6.6 bln), driven mostly by a decrease in cash and deposits in other banks – the fall was mostly driven by a decline in call deposits and loans from other banks on the liabilities side. FUIB remained well-capitalized as its CAR increased to 17.6% as of end-2012 (vs. 15.9% a year before).
