We revise our 12-month target price (TP) for Bank Muscat (BKMB) to OMR 0.530 per share from our earlier TP of OMR 0.470 per share on revision in cost of equity as well as a reduced cost of risk expectation for FY21e and onwards. However, due to the recent improvement in the stock price, we maintain its rating as ACCUMULATE. Our TP implies a P/E’22e of 9.3x and a P/B’22e of 0.9x that is still about 20% lower than a multiple of 1.1x seen prior to the Great Oil Price Decline of 2014 despite an anticipation of Oman Government’s future fiscal surpluses vs. deficits over the last few years (see page 2 of this report). The bank continues to boast capital strength and an improving earnings profile amidst strengthening macroeconomic indicators. In our view, oil price recovery, together with a structural shift in Oman’s finances through expedited reforms in lieu of the pandemic, warrant the bank to trade at higher multiples. Recap of 9M21 performance… The bank posted a 24%YoY increase in its net profit for 9M21, largely on account of a 28% drop in net ECL charges for the year as it had front-loaded provision for impairment during FY20 in anticipation of pandemic-related delinquencies. Operationally, the bank’s performance remained sound, with operating income growth outpacing operating expense growth, resulting in an operating profit growth of 7%YoY. The bank’s cost-to-income ratio for 9M’21 stood at 40.3% vs. 40.7% a year ago. Its annualized cost of risk stood at 54bps, vs. 72bps during FY20. It must be noted, however, that the deadline to end loan moratoria and regulatory forbearance measures has been extended, given the difficulties due to covid. These difficulties have been further compounded by the recent cyclone Shaheen. Outlook & Valuation We expect the bank’s top-line to grow on the back of better overall sector credit growth prospects. We believe that given the anticipated rising global interest rate environment coupled with elevated oil prices, the bank’s net interest margin (NIM) is expected to improve in the short to medium term, given its large low-cost deposit base (65% at end-1H21). We anticipate a conservative operating income growth of 4.3% (CAGR) over 2021-2025F. Operating expenses are expected to grow at slower pace helping to boost operating profit. We expect expected credit loss (ECL) allowance charges to taper as the pandemic related delinquencies come to an end as the country reaps it vaccination dividend. We have built in a growth expectation for net profit at a CAGR of 7.3% over 2021-2025F.

The structural shift in Oman’s economy warrants a shift in Bank Muscat’s valuations…

Oman’s finances are set to improve with the recovery in oil & gas prices. The question is whether this oil price increase is here to stay (see the section below). Oman’s economy is also structured differently since before the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. Oman has always prioritized revenue diversification (away from hydrocarbons), however, it expedited its efforts markedly during covid, with rapid implementation of its Medium-Term Fiscal Plan (MFTP). The country has enacted a Value-Added-Tax on most goods and services, while at the same time, it has reduced subsidies for oil & gas and electricity. Furthermore, it has rationalized its public sector expenditure and has re-organized its public sector through consolidation of entities and/or abolishment of redundant ones. For more details, please see our report on Oman’s economy, Oman in Focus.

Given this backdrop, we believe that Bank Muscat, which commands a large share in the banking space of Oman, may warrant higher valuation multiples (than seen over the last couple of years), assuming that oil prices sustain at elevated levels.

Note: For 2021e and 2022e, current market price has been used for calculating multiples, U Capital Research estimates

Reduced CAPEX in the oil & gas industry over the years poses rising risks in the world energy markets…

Over the years, oil & gas companies have been reducing CAPEX as Governments pushed for energy source diversification given the forbidding outlook as the world awoke to the dangers to environment, especially climate change. This reduction in capex has now resulted in a gloomy outlook for meeting the world’s energy needs. While oil demand may reduce structurally, as cited by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as being driven by behavioral changes in the post-pandemic world, the IEA is warning of lack of capability to meet the world energy demand in the near term. These sharp spending cuts and project delays are already constraining supply growth across the globe, with world oil production capacity now set to increase by 5 mb/d by 2026. In the absence of stronger policy action for shifting to renewables, global oil production would need to rise 10.2 mb/d by 2026 to meet the expected rebound in demand.1 Stated differently, transition from non-renewables to renewables will take some time; it is during this time that fossil fuel prices may stay elevated.

Further compounding the problem is the heightened uncertainty in the oil demand outlook causing producers to weigh capex decisions carefully as “investment decisions made today could either bring on too much capacity that is left unused or too little oil to meet demand”2. Refer to Appendix A, B & C for more information.

Valuation Assumptions & Sensitivity Analysis

We have used a risk-free rate of 5.0% (previous in March’21: 5.25%, May’20: 7.3%) US risk premium of 8.5% (previously 7.9%), and a 3-yr weekly adjusted Beta of 1.12 (Source: Bloomberg). Our base case cost of risk assumption for the year 2021e is 50bps, while P/B ratio assumption is 0.92x for 2022e (premium to sector average of 0.71x). A terminal growth rate of 5% has been assumed based on retention ratio and terminal ROE assumption.

We have assigned a weightage of 80% to excess return methodology and 20% to P/B multiple-based approach.

Our TP moves about +/- 1% with every +/- 10bps change in base case cost of risk assumption, while it moves about +/- 2% with every +/- 0.5% change in cost of equity. Our TP changes about +/-2% with every +/- 0.05x change in P/B’22e multiple. Between 0.92x and 0.97x, our TP remains the same, if cost of equity doesn’t change.

Key Risks

The key downside risks to our valuation are: (1) lingering uncertainty surrounding the duration of the coronavirus impact, especially on oil prices (2) Deterioration in macroeconomic indicators warranting a rise in cost of equity. (3) event risks as concentrations exist both on assets as well as deposits side. (5) A large proportion of borrowers on payment holiday (deferred payment schedules) to be unable to resume their scheduled payments at the end of the forbearance period resulting in steep rise in NPLs and impairment draws.
