Eight Philippine Thrift Banks Do Not Meet BSP's Minimum Capital Adequacy Ratios as of March 31, 2013

A bank's Capital Adequacy Ratio is a measure of a bank's capital and financial strength.  It is expressed as a percentage of a bank's risk weighted credit exposures.  It is also known as the "Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR).

The general formula is as follows:

CAR = (Tier 1 Capital + Tier 2 Capital)/Risk Weighted Assets

Tier 1 Capital

Tier 1 CAR is the ratio of a bank's core or equity capital to its total risk-weighted assets.  It measures financial strength from a regulator's point of view. Tier 1 Capital measures the bank's ability to absorb losses without a bank being required to cease trading.

The formula for Tier 1 Capital is as follows:

Tier 1 Capital = (Paid-up Capital + Statutory Reserves + Disclosed Free Reserves) - (Equity Investments in Subsidiary + Intangible Assets + Current & B/F losses)

Tier 1 CAR = Tier 1 Capital/Risk Weighted Assets

Tier 2 Capital

Tier 2 Capital is supplementary capital.  It measures the ability of a bank to absorb losses in the event of a winding up and so it provides a lesser degree of protection to depositors.

The formula for Tier 2 Capital is as follows:

 Tier 2 Capital = Undisclosed Reserves + General Loss Reserves + Hybrid Debt Capital Instruments and Subordinated Debts.

Risk Weighted Assets

Risk Weighted Assets are a bank's on balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet exposures, weighted according to risk.  Different classes of assets have different risk weightings.  For instance, cash on hand or a government bond has zero risk weighting and are subtracted from the total risk assets.  A loan would have a 100% risk weighthing - it would be counted towards the total risk assets of the bank.

Minimum Capital Requirements

International Guidelines

Basel III is the global requlatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk agreed upon by the members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

Under Basel III, the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio is 4.5%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio is 6.0%, conservation buffer is 2.5%, and the minimum Total CAR is 8.0%.





For more information on Basel III, read this.

BSP Guidelines

The BSP issued new BASEL III Implementing Guidelines that will take effect on January 1, 2014. Under the new guidelines:

"Banks must now meet specific minimum thresholds for so-called Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital and Tier 1 (T1) capital in addition to the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). These regulatory thresholds effectively move banks worldwide to rely more on core capital instruments like CET1 and T1 issues. This is in lieu of hybrid instruments which did not fare well in the latest global crisis as far as absorbing losses. The ability to absorb losses is central to Basel III.
The BSP maintained the minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) at 10.0 percent. In addition to CAR, the new framework sets a CET1 ratio of at least 6.0 percent and the Tier I capital ratio is at a minimum of 7.5 percent. 
The new guidelines also introduce a capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent which shall be made up of CET1 capital. In addition, banks which issued capital instruments from 2011 will be allowed to count these instruments as Basel III-eligible until end-2015
Under these guidelines, several Philippine Thrift Banks currently do not meet these guidelines as of March 31, 2013.  The banks that fail to meet BSP's minimum capital requirements are as follows:

Total CAR

  1. Bataan SLA (Total CAR of 0.00)
  2. Enterprise Bank (Total CAR of 0.00)
  3. The Palawan Bank, Inc. (Total CAR of 6.28)
  4. Equicom Savings Bank, Inc. (Total CAR of 9.47)


Tier One CAR
  1. Bataan SLA (Tier One CAR of 0.00)
  2. Business & Consumers Bank (Tier One CAR of 0.00)
  3. Enterprise Bank (Tier One CAR of 0.00)
  4. Equicom Savings Bank, Inc. (Tier One CAR of 0.00)
  5. Maritime Savings Bank Corporation (Tier One CAR of 0.00)
  6. Optimum Development Bank (Tier One CAR of 0.00)
  7. The Palawan Bank, Inc. (Tier One CAR of 3.86)
  8. Planters Development Bank (Tier One CAR of 6.45)
It should be noted that two banks, namely, The Real Bank Inc. (which had a Total CAR of -1.55 and a Tier One CAR of -1.55) and Inter-Asia Development Bank (which had a Total CAR of -11.76 and a Tier One CAR of 0.00) as of December 31, 2012 (see "Nine Philippine Thrift Banks Do Not Meet BSP's Minimum Capital Adequacy Ratios as of December 31, 2012"), had no Published Statement of Condition as of December 31, 2012.

The Total CAR and Tier 1 CAR of Philippine Thrift Banks as of March 31, 2012 is as follows (Banks that do not meet BSP's minimum capital requirements are highlighted in red):

The Capital Adequacy Ratios of Philippine Universal and Commercial Banks - March 31, 2013

A bank's Capital Adequacy Ratio is a measure of a bank's capital and financial strength.  It is expressed as a percentage of a bank's risk weighted credit exposures.  It is also known as the "Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR).

The general formula is as follows:

CAR = (Tier 1 Capital + Tier 2 Capital)/Risk Weighted Assets

Tier 1 Capital

Tier 1 CAR is the ratio of a bank's core or equity capital to its total risk-weighted assets.  It measures financial strength from a regulator's point of view. Tier 1 Capital measures the bank's ability to absorb losses without a bank being required to cease trading.

The formula for Tier 1 Capital is as follows:

Tier 1 Capital = (Paid-up Capital + Statutory Reserves + Disclosed Free Reserves) - (Equity Investments in Subsidiary + Intangible Assets + Current & B/F losses)

Tier 1 CAR = Tier 1 Capital/Risk Weighted Assets

Tier 2 Capital

Tier 2 Capital is supplementary capital.  It measures the ability of a bank to absorb losses in the event of a winding up and so it provides a lesser degree of protection to depositors.

The formula for Tier 2 Capital is as follows:

 Tier 2 Capital = Undisclosed Reserves + General Loss Reserves + Hybrid Debt Capital Instruments and Subordinated Debts.

Risk Weighted Assets

Risk Weighted Assets are a bank's on balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet exposures, weighted according to risk.  Different classes of assets have different risk weightings.  For instance, cash on hand or a government bond has zero risk weighting and are subtracted from the total risk assets.  A loan would have a 100% risk weighthing - it would be counted towards the total risk assets of the bank.

Under Basel III, the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio is 4.5%, Tier 1 Capital Ratio is 6.0%, conservation buffer is 2.5%, and the minimum Total CAR is 8.0%.

The BSP issued new BASEL III Implementing Guidelines that will take effect on January 1, 2014. Under the new guidelines:


"Banks must now meet specific minimum thresholds for so-called Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital and Tier 1 (T1) capital in addition to the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR).

It should be noted that under any of these guidelines, Bank of America N.A. is severely undercapitalized under BSP guidelines with a Total CAR and Tier 1 CAR of only 0.51 percent, respectively, as of March 31, 2013.

It should also be noted that Allied Banking Corporation has merged with Philippine National Bank as of the first quarter of 2013 and hence has not reported its Published Statement of Condition for that period.

The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of March 31, 2013

Editor's Note:  This blog was inspired by the spectacular failure of Banco Filipino Savings and Mortgage Bank for the second time in its 38 years of existence.  This blog post and other blog posts like it attempt to describe why the bank failed.  But it also attempts to assess what other Philippine Banks have the potential to fail in the not too distant future. To see blog posts on other banks, click on the Banco Filipino Graphic at the top of the blog or click on the blog archive on the right hand column, or simply go to bancofilipinofailure.blogspot.com.


Editor's Note: The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) advised consumers to wisely choose the banks where they will deposit their money. The trouble is, most depositors don't and can't read financial statements before they open a bank account. The regulators, whose job is to safeguard the public's money, have not done a good job recently.  In the past ten years, two commercial banks, twenty-one thrift banks, and a staggering 187 rural banks have collapsed, often quite suddenly and without warning:  Regulators do have a problem bank list that they do not divulge to the public, for fear of sparking another bank run. So who can the public turn to, to advise them where to put their money? No one, except the banks themselves who will always promote their self-interests. This analysis is an attempt to fill in that knowledge gap, by screening out the weaker banks that seem ready to implode at any given moment.

Editor's Note: The ratio of Distressed Assets to Total Capital Cushion is a variant of the famous Texas Ratio, which was widely used by US financial regulators to predict bank failure during the US Savings and Loan Crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s. The basic premise is that a bank with Distressed Assets greater than its Capital Cushion is in danger of insolvency, because a significant drop in the value of  the Distressed Assets will eat into a significant amount of the bank's capital.  A bank that has a Distressed Ratio greater than 100% is flagged as borderline insolvent (highlighted in yellow).  For a more detailed discussion of this ratio, please visit a previous blog post: The Texas Ratio of Select Philippine Banks

This is a list of the top distressed Universal and Commercial (U/KB) as well as Thrift Banks in the Philippines as of March 31, 2013.  It updates the four previous blog posts "The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of December 31, 2012",  "The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of September 30, 2012""The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of June 30, 2012" and "The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of March 31, 2012".


It should be noted that three banks that had no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2013 were classified as distressed as of December 31, 2012:
  1. The Real Bank, which topped the list of distressed banks with a distressed ratio of 1110.52% as of December 31, 2012, had no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2013.
  2. Inter-Asia Development Bank, which had a distressed ratio of 790.16% as of December 31, 2012, the second highest distressed ratio among Philippine Thrift Banks, has no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2013. Inter-Asia Development Bank also had the distinction of having negative Stockholder's Equity of Php 16.306 million as of December 31, 2012.
  3. Legazpi Savings Bank Inc. also had no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2012, it had a distressed ratio of 255.52%.  It is now part of Robinsons Bank Corporation.

To see where your bank stands relative to these banks, please check the following previous blog posts: "Philippine U/KBs stagnate in the first quarter of 2013" and "Philippine Thrift Banks Improve in the 1st Quarter of 2013"

This list only serves as a screening guide.  It is not a definitive guide and must be taken in the context of other factors.  The figures are based on the individual banks' statement of condition as of March 31, 2013 as published in the BSP website (www.bsp.gov.ph). For this analysis, no attempt was made to go through the audited financial statements of each bank. Readers are suggested to make their own investigations and verify the figures presented. Both BSP and PDIC have their own problem bank screening systems that are much more sophisticated in scope and design, given that they have more access to information over the banks they regulate.

The regulators, whose job is to safeguard the public's money, have not done a good job recently.  In the past ten years, two commercial banks, twenty-one thrift banks, and a staggering 187 rural banks have collapsed, often quite suddenly and without warning..  Regulators do have a problem bank list that they do not divulge to the public, for fear of sparking another bank run. So who can the public turn to, to advise them where to put their money? No one, except the banks themselves who will always promote their self-interests. This analysis is an attempt to fill in that knowledge gap, by screening out the weaker banks that seem ready to implode at any given moment.

Editor's Note: The ratio of Distressed Assets to Total Capital Cushion is a variant of the famous Texas Ratio, which was widely used by US financial regulators to predict bank failure during the US Savings and Loan Crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s. The basic premise is that a bank with Distressed Assets greater than its Capital Cushion is in danger of insolvency, because a significant drop in the value of  the Distressed Assets will eat into a significant amount of the bank's capital.  A bank that has a Distressed Ratio greater than 100% is flagged as borderline insolvent (highlighted in yellow).  For a more detailed discussion of this ratio, please visit a previous blog post: The Texas Ratio of Select Philippine Banks

  20. Security Bank Savings Corporation (Distressed Ratio of 110.40%)
  21. Philippine Resources Savings Banking Corporation (Distressed Ratio of 100.89%)

It should be noted that two banks entered the borderline insolvent list as of March 31, 2013:

  1. Enterprise Bank Inc., which had a distressed ratio of 98.57% as of December 31, 2012, has a distressed ratio of 135.91% as of March 31, 2013.
  2. Microfinance Maximum SB (Maxbank), which had a distressed ratio of 93.59% as of December 31, 2012, has a distressed ratio of 112.09% as of March 31, 2013.

It should also be noted that one bank exited the borderline insolvent list: Philippine Savings Bank, which had a distressed ratio of 101.17% as of December 31, 2012, now has a distressed ratio of only 84.00% as of March 31, 2013.

However, three banks are off the list of distressed banks because they had no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2013:
  1. The Real Bank, which topped the list of distressed banks with a distressed ratio of 1110.52% as of December 31, 2012, had no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2013.
  2. Inter-Asia Development Bank, which had a distressed ratio of 790.16% as of December 31, 2012, the second highest distressed ratio among Philippine Thrift Banks, has no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2013. Inter-Asia Development Bank also had the distinction of having negative Stockholder's Equity of Php 16.306 million as of December 31, 2012.
  3. Legazpi Savings Bank Inc. also had no Published Statement of Condition as of March 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2012, it had a distressed ratio of 255.52%.  It is now part of Robinsons Bank Corporation.

Overall Condition

Based on the individual Published Statements of Condition for the Philippine Thrift Banking Industry (from www.bsp.gov.ph), Total Distressed Assets of Philippine Thrift Banks decreased by Php 11.859 billion or 12.20% from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.  The Total Capital Cushion of Philippine Thrift Banks increased by Php 10.921 billion or 12.24% during the same period.  As a result, the Thrift Bank's Ratio of Total Distressed Assets to Total Capital Cushion declined from 110.74% as of December 31, 2012 to 86.46% as of March 31, 2013.


These results were skewed by the lack of Published Statements of Condition of the three distressed banks listed above: The Real Bank, Inter-Asia Development Bank, and Legazpi Savings Bank, Inc..  These three non-reporting banks had a combined distressed assets of Php 10.126 billion supported by a combined capital cushion of only Php 1.193 billion, resulting in a combined distressed ratio of 848.48%.

Among the banks that continued to report their financial condition as of March 31, 2013, their distressed ratios declined from 100.39% as of December 31, 2012, to 86.46% as of March 31, 2013.  The improvement in this ratio was primarily due to the 13.99% increase in these banks total capital cushion, from Php 86.571 billion as of December 31, 2012, to Php 98.685 billion as of March 31, 2013.  Total Distressed Assets of these banks remained stagnant, declining by 1.82%, from Php 86.907 billion as of December 31, 2012 to Php 85.328 billion as of March 31, 2013.

The banks that posted as significant improvement in their distressed ratios include:

  1. Century Savings Bank (47.48% decrease)
  2. Philippine Business Bank (42.18% decrease)
  3. University Savings Bank (38.26% decrease)
  4. Philippine Resources Savings Banking Corporation (34.23% decrease)
  5. Sun Savings Bank (24.46% decrease)
  6. City Savings Bank (22.92% decrease)

  9. Enterprise Bank Inc. (37.89% increase)
  10. Wealth Bank - A Development Bank (36.64% increase)
  11. Cordillera Savings Bank (27.23% increase)
  12. Lemery Savings & Loan Bank, Inc. (22.96% increase)
  13. Tower Development Bank (20.76% increase)
  14. Village SLA, Inc. (20.53% increase)

Disclaimer:

This list only serves as a screening guide.  It is not a definitive guide and must be taken in the context of other factors.  The figures are based on the individual banks' Published Statements of Condition as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 as published in the BSP website (www.bsp.gov.ph). For this analysis, no attempt was made to go through the audited financial statements of each bank. Readers are suggested to make their own investigations and verify the figures presented. Both BSP and PDIC have their own problem bank screening systems that are much more sophisticated in scope and design, given that they have more access to information over the banks they regulate.
