Are Philippine Banks Under Provisioning Loan Losses? - As of September 30, 2015

Are Philippine banks under provisioning loan losses?

On the face of it, no.

At 1.82% as of September 30, 2015, NPLs as a percentage of Total Loan Portfolios are at or near historic lows.



While the NPL coverage ratio is near historic highs at 139.74% as of September 30, 2015, indicating that most banks are adequately provisioned.


But NPLs can go much higher than current levels.  Over the past thirty years, NPLs as a percentage of Total Loan Portfolios averaged 8.78% for Philippine Universal and Commercial Banks. Moreover, Loan Loss Reserves (LLR) as a percentage of Total Loan Portfolio (TLP) have averaged 4.76% for the past thirty years.  As can be seen from the chart below, loan loss reserves hit a peak of 22.23% of TLP in 1986, an outlier.  Without this outlier, LLR/TLP average 4.27% for the past thirty years.



As of September 30, 2015, LLR/TLP stands at 2.54%, which is below the historical average of 4.27%, indicating that Philippine banks are under-provisioning for loan losses, given historical norms. If Philippine banks were to maintain higher loan loss provisions to conform to historical averages, bank earnings will suffer but will be better provisioned for future losses.


Now, which banks have not adequately provisioned for loan losses at their current NPL levels, which are at historic lows? Those highlighted in yellow (below 80% NPL Coverage Ratio) are prime candidates.
