Bank is financing in multiple sectors. 13.1:- Functions of the Finance Department Finance Department performs following functions. Borrowing from State Bank of Pakistan. Lending to Commercial Banks Lending to Investors. Lending to General Public for multi-business 21 SECTION : - 14 14.0:- Critical Analysis 14.1:- Financial Analysis Pre tax profit stood at Rs. 12,674 million from Rs. 14,002 million of corresponding period of last year, a reduction of 9.5%. Bank’s operating performance have been quite impressive, operating revenue increased by 30% from Rs. 20376 million to Rs.26,497 million, while pre provision profit increased by Rs. 4,293 million an increase of 31.4%. Diluted earning per share declined to Rs. 8.79 from Rs. 10.05 during the same period of last year. Pre tax return on equity stands at 35.8% whereas Pre tax return on assets is at 3.3%. Cost to income ratio of the bank remained in the top tier at 0.32 Net interest margin registered an impressive growth of Rs. 2,670 million or 16.4% mainly due to growth in volumes. Net advances increased by Rs. 41 billion and Rs. 32 billion as compared to corresponding period of last year. The growth in advances mainly emanated from corporate and commodity financing. Deposits show impressive growth of Rs. 68 billion or 12.3% over corresponding period last year. Compared to year the deposits have increased by Rs. 29 billion or 5% mainly due to our marketing efforts and the trust that customers have in NBP. Non interest base income has shown an impressive increase of Rs. 3.4 billion or 84% over corresponding period due to higher commission, exchange income and a one off receipt of Rs. 977.8 million as compensation for delayed tax refunds. The compensation on delayed refunds pertains to various assessment years from 1991-92 to 2001-02. Administrative expenses show a rise of Rs. 1,828 million or 27% compare to corresponding period mainly due to inflation and salary increases. Going forward we expect that with the technological / human resource up gradation program our costs will rise in short term however we need to invest today for better returns in the future. Provision charge against advances for the corresponding period last year includes a) one off items of Rs. 1.4billion on account of one large cash recovery and reversal in general provision of Rs. 825 million due to reduction in provision requirement on advance salary from 5% to 3%. If we exclude these one offs the provision charge last year comes to Rs. 1.8 billion. Further b) last year the SBP changed its prudential regulations and withdrew the benefit of Forced Sales Value in the third quarter of last year, therefore this year the banks can no longer take the benefit of forced sales value of the collateral securities. The additional provision charge on account of withdrawal of FSV impact last year was Rs. 3.1 billion, which was made in the 3rd and 4th quarter of last year. This benefit of Rs 3.1 billion was being carried in the first half. Therefore the comparison between the provisions for the two periods should take into account both these factors. Additionally the bank is making all out efforts for recovery of non-performing loans and aggressive targets have been assigned to the units. We extend our appreciation to the bank’s staff for their commitment, dedication and hard work in achieving these excellent results. We would like to express our appreciation to our stakeholders, regulators and our valued customers for their support and continued confidence in NBP. On behalf of Board of Directors & President 22 SECTION : - 15 15.0:- Ratio Analysis 15.1:- Net Profit Margin: This ratio measures the firm’s profitability of sales/ interest earned after taking account of all expenses and income taxes. This ratio can be calculated as: Net profit margin ration = Net Profit after taxes / interest earned Net Profit Ratio 12709/33634 X 100 37.78% 17255/44014 X 100 39.20% 19037/50569 X 100 37.64% Explanation: from the calculation it is very much clear that the performance of NBP is very good. And the trend is upward. It tells us a firm’s net income per rupee of revenue. As the trend is upward it shows the high profits in revenue per rupee in case of NBP. It is because of high advances the NBP has given to the people. 15.2:- Return on Equity: Dividing profit after taxation by shareholder’s equity. ROE compares net profit after taxes to the Shareholder’s Equity. This ratio is calculated as: ROE=Profit after taxes/Share holder’s Equity ROE 12709/36158 X 100 35.14% 17255/53045 X 100 32.53% 19037/69271 X 100 27.48% 23 15.3:- Return On Assets: This ratio shows the efficiency of organization that how efficiently utilizes their assets. This ratio relates profits to assets. It is calculated as: ROA = Profit after Tax/Total Assets ROA 12709/577719 X 100 2.19% 17255/635133 X 100 2.71% 19037/762194 X 100 2.49% From calculation it is clear that this ration of NBP is increasing. It shows that NBP using it’s assets very efficiently. That is why they are earning very high profits. This shows that how efficiently they investing the assets that’s why they are earning high profits. 15.4:- Investment deposit Ratio: This ratio shows the comparison of investments and deposits. This is calculated as. Investment deposit Ratio=Investment/deposits Return on Investment 156986/463427 X 100 33.87% 139947/501872 X 100 27.88% 210788/591907 X 100 35.61% 15.5:- Advances deposit Ratio: This ratio show that how much efficiently the bank advances the deposits of their customer to borrower. It is calculated as. Advances deposit ratio = Advances/ deposit Advances Deposit Ratio 268839/463427 X 100 58.01% 316110/501872 X 100 62.98% 340677/591907 X 100 57.56% From above table it is clear that the ratio is going high.
