Bank of Commerce Ranks First in NPLs as of September 30, 2012

DOSRI.  Short for DOSRI Loans and Transactions.  Otherwise known as loans to Directors, Officers, Stockholders, and Related Interests (DOSRI).  Regulators and Legislators have established laws and regulations that limit DOSRI loans.  The General Banking Act and BSP regulations limit the amount of the loans granted by a bank to a single borrower to 25% of equity.  The amount of individual loans to DOSRI, of which 70% must be secured, should not exceed the amount of the deposit and book value of the investment in the bank.  In the aggregate, loans to DOSRI generally should not exceed the total equity or 15% of the total loan portfolio of the bank, whichever is lower.

In the Philippine Commercial Banking Industry, DOSRI Loans stood at Php 207.015 billion, or 6.24% of a Total Loan Portfolio - Net (TLP-Net) of Php 3.316 trillion as of September 30, 2012.  This is down significantly from the 6.59% ratio posted by the Philippine Commercial Banking Industry last June 30, 2012.

Editor's Note: Data is culled from  the Published Statements of Condition of individual commercial banks found in www.bsp.gov.ph.  Banks highlighted in yellow are classified as Distressed Banks.  The level of distressed is measured by the Ratio of their Total Distressed Assets/Total Capital Cushion as of September 30, 2012.  See a previous blog post: "Philippine U/KBs Improve in the 3rd Qtr. of 2012"

Of the 37 banks in this list, eight banks had no DOSRI loans as of September 30, 2012.  Of the 29 banks that reported DOSRI loans, the ratio of DOSRI Loans to Total Loan Portfolio - Net as of September 30, 2012 was slightly lower (6.49%) than the 6.83% ratio reported for all commercial banks with DOSRI loans as of June 30, 2012.  The banks with the highest ratio of DOSRI Loans to TLP-Net were government banks:
  1. Development Bank of the Philippines (31.04% of TLP-Net)
  2. Land Bank of the Philippines (25.17% of TLP-Net)
DOSRI rules indicate that DOSRI Loans, in the aggregate, should not exceed the total equity of the bank.  Therefore banks with significantly high DOSRI Loans as a percentage of Total Stockholders Equity (SE) may be approaching DOSRI Limits.  In this matter, two government banks again stand out:
  1. Development Bank of the Philippines (93.61% of SE)
  2. Land Bank of the Philippines (89.69% of SE)
A third bank, China Banking Corporation, has DOSRI Loans equivalent to 46.64% of SE as of September 30, 2012.  Banco de Oro Unibank, which has DOSRI Loans equivalent to 35.13% of SE as of September 30, 2012, is down significantly from 58.23% as of June 30, 2012.  On an overall basis, DOSRI Loans comprised 25.21% of Stockholders Equity as of September 30, 2012, down from 28.43% of Stockholders Equity as of June 30, 2012.

Banks often take pains to avoid DOSRI Loans from falling past due. Although bank policies often state that DOSRI Loans are made “on commercial, arm's length terms, i.e., substantially on the same terms as loans to other individuals and businesses of comparable risks” (See RCBC's Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2010), loan underwriting standards should be tighter because a past due DOSRI loan reflects badly on the bank.    DOSRI Loans that fall past due are often:
  1. Written off as soon as possible;
  2. Refinanced or Restructured to become current; or are
  3. Technically reclassified as a general NPL (like if a loan to a former bank officer falls past due). 
As a result, only Php 0.537 billion of DOSRI Loans or 0.26% are past due out of a Total DOSRI Loan Portfolio of Php 207.015 billion as of September 30, 2012, up slightly from 0.25% as of June 30, 2012.

Given all the measures banks can take to prevent a DOSRI Loan from falling past due, it is not surprising to find past due rates of DOSRI Loans significantly below the NPL ratios of their Total Loan Portfolios.  What is generally surprising is to find DOSRI Loans that fall past due in significantly higher proportions than the banks NPL ratio on their Total Loan Portfolios.  Only three banks fall into this category:
  1. Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (DOSRI Past Due Ratio of 9.57% versus an NPL Ratio of 1.00%)
The NPL Ratio of the Philippine Commercial Banking System has increased slightly to 2.22% of Total Loan Portfolio-Net as of September 30, 2012 from 2.21% of Total Loan Portfolio - Net as of June 30, 2012.

However, one bank has a significantly high NPL as a percentage of its stockholders equity as of September 30, 2012.  This bank is Standard Chartered Bank (NPL/SE Ratio of 72.18%).

Other banks with NPLs that are more than 20% of their stockholders equity are:
  1. United Coconut Planters Bank (NPL/SE Ratio of 23.64%)
  2. Philippine National Bank (NPL/SE Ratio of 21.40%)
  3. Philippine Veterans Bank (NPL/SE Ratio of 21.05% of SE)
Again, any further deterioration in the value of these banks NPLs may lead to a significant reduction of the bank's capital, particularly if the bank has not adequately reserved capital for future losses on these NPLs.  All of the banks listed above are listed as distressed.
