Analysis of the
Financial Statements
Analysis of the income statement
The composite of total revenue and growth
The
Hatton national Bank plc being company engaged in the financial sector in Sri
Lanka, the main sours of income is the interest earned by lending the money to
the customers. Apart from the interest income the other sources of income for the
bank are the foreign exchange gains, fee and commission income, dividend
income, income from the other investments. The contribution of the each type of
income has varied during the five years but interest income has been the main
sourse of income with the highest contribution each year over 80%. Following is
the summary of the contribution of interest income and the other types of
income over the last five years.
The
above diagram shows how the income for the bank has grown over the five years
and the contribution of interest income and the other types of income in
attaining the level of income.
In
2010 the contribution from interest income has contributed to earn 85% of the
total revenue while the other types have contributed only by 15%. This has held
even in 2011 with slight changes, with an interest income contribution of 87%
and other income contribution of 13%. In 2012 the proportion between the
contributions have changed hence the interest income was 91% out of the total
income and the rest 9% came from the other sourses. In 2013 again the
contribution from interest income accounted for 92% and the other income
reduced to 7% from the previous year. 2014 where there is slight drop in the
total income the contribution from interest has declined to 87%, while the
other sourses has increased their contribution up to 13%.
Placing
attaention on the growth and behaviour of the total income for the past five
years the following patteren can be observed.
There
has been a slight drop of 10% in income during in 2010 compared to 2009. .the
total income increased by 6.71% from 2010 to 2011. And this growth has
sustained even in 2012 with a very high growth rate of 35.79%. Again in 2013 the income has increased with a growth rate of
16.51%. But in 2014 again the total income has gone down slightly by -0.95%.
The pattern of the total income has been supported by the following factors.
We
can clearly note that during the years where there is high contribution from
interest income on total income, there is remarkable growth, but when the
contribution from interest income reduce the total revenue has also declined.
Interest income
Interest
income being the key source of income of the bank is accountable for 85% of the
total income on average, following is a brief presentation how the movements in
the interest income took place during past five years. The interest income, as
explained above has maintained a steady growth throughout the first four years
and has marked a slight decline in 2014.

Other sources of income
Other
income which consist mainly with foreign exchange gains, fee and commission
income, dividend income, income from the other investments have marked a
decline during the first four years and have again gained a growth in 2014.
The
other income sours are accountable only for 15% on average out of the total
income.
Thus
we can observe that fee and commission income is the category with the highest
contribution and second is the foreign exchange income. Following charts
present the contribution of each type of income to the total income.
The
composition of the expenses and the growth
The
main expense incurred by the bank is the interest expense. Apart from the
interest it has to bear the expenses which are for Personnel expenses,
Premises, equipment and establishment expenses, Fee and commission expenses,
Provision for loan losses, devaluation of investment and loans written off. The
contribution of each type is different. Following is the summary of the
expenses made by the bank from 2010 to 2014.
The
above diagram indicates how the expenses of the bank has behaved over the five
years and also it presents the classification of the interest and non-interest
expenses.
In
2010 the interest expenses is accountable for 61% of the expenses and remaining
39% is due to the other expenses. In 2011, 55.45% of the expenses are paid out
as interest and rest 44.55% is for the other expenses. During 2012 the
proportion of expenses incurred due to interest has increased further up to 64.88%
and reduced the other expenses to 35.12%. Again in 2013 the interest expenses
are 64.92% out of the total expenses and remaining 35.08% has been spent on
other expenses. Also in 2014 the interest expenses are accountable for 60.01%
and the rest 39.9% is due to other expenses.
Moving
on to analysis of growth in expenses during the period 2010 to 2014 amix
pattern can be noticed.
In
the first four years there is an increasing pattern in the expenses while in
2014 the expenses have also declined. From 2009 to 2010 there has been a
reduction in the total expenditure of 28.79%. From 2010 to 2011 the growth in
expenditure is 26.83%. The total expenditure has moved forward by another 29%
in 2012. During the period from 2012 to 2013 the expenses has gone up but with
a lower rate than the previous year, which is 23.79%. Even the expenses category there is declined
in 2014 recording a reduction of 7.1%.
Interest expenses
Interest
expenses being the key expenditure of a bank generally accounts for more than
50% of the total expenses. Therefore it is important to study the movement of
the interest expense individually since it has a significant impact in
determining the final return of the bank.

expenditure and profit, giving more attention to interest income, interest
expense, net interest income, operational profit and profit after tax. This
section of the report consist with more detailed examination of the behaviour
of the variables using ratio analysis, highlighting the causes for the fluctuations.
Financial Performance
- 2010
Banking
industry as a whole have not performed in its best level during the major part
of the year. This was mainly due to slow growth in credit. Also the impact of
global recession in 2009, imposed a slight pressure in Sri Lankan economy as
well.
During
2010 the bank recorded a spread ratio of 48.16% and a net interest margin of
51.39%. During 2010 interest rate dropped down to a single digit forcing the
interest income to drop by 12.63% than the previous year. But the management of
the bank was able to convert a considerable portion of its fixed deposits to
current and savings deposits, and reduced the interest expense by 26.6%. This
helped to maintain the interest income margin without any considerable
fluctuations than the previous year. With the aid of asset and liability
management strategy of the bank.
The
net interest margin ratio was recorded to be 4.95%. This indicates that one rupee
of total assets have earnt Rs.0.495 net interest revenue. Despite of the decline
in industry’s performance the bank has managed to maintain net asset ratio in a
satisfactory level.
In
2010 the bank recorded a Return on Assets ratio of 1.42%. This has not mush
increased compared to the previous years. But has been maintained in a satisfactory
level.
The
return on equity during 2010 has been 16.37%. This indicate a slight decline
compared to the previous year’s 19.6%.
Apart
from the above mentioned financial performance indicators following are also
important in measuring the financial performance for the bank.
In
2010 the administrative expenses has utilized 55.85% of the other income
generated. Therefore the other expenses to other income ratio has been 265%,
which indicates that most of the other have been covered by the income generated
as interest.
Among
the other types of income earnt commission fee and foreign exchange profits
mark an important place by having a higher contribution to the total income.
The foreign exchange gains are recorded to be 2.86% which is due to the inflow
of foreign investment which caused strengthening the Sri Lankan rupee against
the hard currencies.
Financial Performance
-2011
2011
was a remarkable year for the whole industry of banking and finance. This was
driven by the high demand for the credit during the year. Despite the global
recession Sri Lankan economy started regaining after the conflict which last
for three decades. During 2011 the economy recorded an increase in GDP which
encouraged the investors further and investment flew to the economy.
Under
the stable economic scenario the credit grew which was also encouraged by the
reduction in interest rates. As a result the bank had a spread ratio of 50.53% in 2011. Further the net interest margin was recorded to be
49.47%. Due to the rapid growth in credit the interest income increased by
9.56% in 2011. But this was written off to a certain extent by the increase in
interest expense by 13.89% despite the slow growth in deposits in 2011. Both
to-gather caused in narrowing the interest margin to 49.47% compared to 51% in
2010.
Moving to the net interest margin ratio (Asset Turnover) it can be
noticed slight decline down to 4.34% from last year. The reduction was caused
by the decline in the net interest margin as well due to the heavy investments
by the bank on information technology during 2011 which will yield in the
future.
The return on assets has been 1.47% which indicate an improvement over
the previous year’s value. Also the
return on equity has been 15.02% with a slight decline which is due to the
increase in shareholders equity during 2011.
Apart from the above mentioned details the significant indicators of
financial performance in 2011 are as follows.
Among the other sources of income which marked a decline of -9.47%,
commission income continued to play the leading role due to the concentration
of bank on that category. As well the foreign exchange profits maintained at an
adequate level with the support of relatively stable exchange rates. But the
decline in the other income was mainly due to the reduction in investment
income which was due to divestments took place in 2011.
The introduction of deposit insurance scheme imposed a new burden on the
other expenses category from 2011 onwards. The reliance of other expenses
mainly on interest income continued even in 2011 which had a ratio of 278%.
Even in 2011 the administrative expenses have absorbed a majority of the
non interest income with a ratio of 66.12%. The ratio of interest expense to
deposits indicate a value of 5.89%.
Financial Performance – 2012
Year 2012 marked fluctuations in the key economic variables notably the
exchange rates and the interest rates. The exchange rates depreciated against
the USD by 17%, while the interest rate made an upward movement which indicated
by the average weighted prime lending rate from 10.8% to 14.4%. Banking sector
was benefited from the movements of foreign exchange and improved interest
rates. Due to the reduction in GDP the credit growth contracted 20.9% in 2012
to 31.7% in 2011.
Hatton National Bank PLC experienced a growth in their interest income
in 2012 by 42.86%, which was powered by the growth in the interest earning
assets. The interest expense also indicated an increase by 51.49% during the
year which was due to conversion of the low cost deposits to fixed deposits
with higher rates of interest, higher deposit rates and growth in deposits.
As a result the bank obtained an interest margin of 46.42%. The bank has
managed to be with in their normal level, but compared to previous year there
is a slight decline.
The interest rate margin ratio has been 4.92% which indicates a slight
improvement compared to last year. The
spread ratio for the year recorded to be 53.58%.
Return on assets during the year has been 2.25%. The increase in the ROA
was due to the increase in profits as well due to the sluggish growth in the
asset base which was due to the restriction imposed by the CBSL.Return on
equity was reported to be 21.61%.
According to the bank’s three years strategic plan, the fee income was prioritized
among the other sources of income. As per the efforts by the bank the fee
income increased by 34.56% compared to 2011. Also due to high number of foreign
exchange transactions and volatility in the forex market resulted in a growth
in the foreign exchange profits for the year. But the bearish stock market
raised a negative value for the bank in trading. As negative consequences of
increase in other expenses have caused it to mainly rely on interest income
even in 2012 with a percentage of 353.64%.
The other expenses of the bank increased by 11.00% during the year which
was mainly caused by the increase in the premises and establishment expenses
incurred due to opening of new branches.
As the overall effect the operational profit margin has been 21.90%
which has a positive movement of 45.39% and the net profit margin has been
recorded as 19.48% which is an improvement of 80.34%, compared to the previous
year.
Financial performance – 2013
2013 has been a challenging year for the banking sector
as a whole due to the high interest rates. As a result the non-performing loans
increased, decrease in demand for loans and most importantly the drop in the
gold prices affected badly to the smooth operation of the industry as a whole.
Despite of the macro economic variables
fluctuations which occurred locally and internationally the bank managed to
earn an interest income which contributed to 87.17% of total income with a
growth rate of 17.75% compared to the previous year.
The driving factor behind the increment was high interest rates prevailed at
the time. But on the other hand the interest expense for the bank increased by
23.87%. The increase in interest income
was not adequate to impose a positive effect on the total growth. Hence the net
interest increased only by 10.68% compared to previous year. Therefore in 2013
the net interest margin was recorded only a 43.63%. The interest write off from
pawning was also accountable for the decline in the net interest margin.
The net interest margin ratio has been 4.77%. The ratio is also lower
than the previous year’s value. The spread ratio has been recorded as 53.58%.
Return on assets is 2.25% which is the highest during the period of
study. And the Return on equity is 21.61% which is also the highest.
The analysis of the other income and other expenditure during the year indicates
a 2,26% increase in other income sources which is mainly powered by fee and
commission charges and gains form foreign exchange gains.
The other expenses indicates a decline of 7.81% during the year. this
has been mainly causes by the decline in the personal expenditure. Apart from
the personal costs the other costs increased largely as a result of increase in
the advertising expenditure, investments in technology.
End result of the year was an operational profit margin of 19.42% for
the year which has increased barely by 3.31% than the previous year. The net
profit margin has been 16.66% for the year which has declined by -0.38%.
Financial performance - 2014
The year 2014 has been a difficult year for the banking sector due to
the decline in the interest rates sharply and also the fall in the gold prices.
The interest income for the bank declined by 7% during the year as well
its contribution to the total income declined to 87% from 92% last year. The
drop in the interest income was mainly due to the decline in the interest
rates. A drop in interest expense also
came in line with the drop in interest income. Hence recorded a decline of
14.18% during the year. As result the interest margin was recorded at 48.01%.
The interest margin ratio was calculated as 4.32% for the year. The
spread ratio has been 51.99%.
The return on assets has recorded as 2.09% for the year while the return
on equity is 19.81%. Both the ratios indicate slight changes than 2013.
Moving on to the analysis of the expenses and other income it can be
noticed that the other income has increased and contributed to the total income
than the previous year. Other income has grown by 76% during the year. Even in
2014 the fee and commission income contributed largely to the other income
earnt with a proportion of 8.36%. The other expenses category increased by
30.84% during the year.
As the overall result the operational profit margin has been 24% for the
year with an increase of 24% from the previous year. The net profit margin for
2014 has been 20.28%, with an increase of 20.55% compared to the previous year.
The following are the diagrams which indicate the movements of the key
profitability ratios for the bank during the five years.
