Last July 14, 2016, MBank Philippines voluntarily surrendered its banking license as well as it's license as an electronic money issuer. The bank was designed as a "smart bank," meaning it was expected to roll out innovative financial services in the area of wireless payments and microfinance products for consumers. The bank was owned by the Smart Communications, the mobile subsidiary of the giant PLDT. It was the second mobile-powered microfinance-oriented savings bank, after BANKO, now BPI Globe Banko.
The bank had impeccable backers: Finnish development finance company Finnfund and Dutch development bank FMO, two international development organizations with presumably extensive experience in microfinance.
You would think that with all this technology, financial firepower, and expertise, the bank would be a roaring success. Yet, this "smart bank" lost so much money so fast (within less than three years of operations) that there was no hope of recovery.
Although the bank was incorporated in 2012, it only began operations in October 16, 2013. As of year-end December 31, 2013, the bank had a very fresh and very clean balance sheet: zero NPLs and around Php 125 million in Stockholder's Equity. Yet, within one year, the NPLs piled on very quickly, reaching a peak of almost Php 60 million as of December 31, 2014, The NPLs never really dropped very significantly after that, hovering between a low of Php 37 million in March 31, 2015 and climbing again to Php 54 million as of September 30, 2015. When the bank closed, it still had Php 44 million of Gross NPLs on its books as of June 30, 2016.
A lot of these NPLs were written off very quickly, reducing the bank's capital base from Php 125 million as of December 31, 2013 to just Php 26 million on June 30, 2016 - less than three years after it began operations. So, it lost Php 99 million or almost four fifths of its Stockholder's Equity in 2.75 years.
The bank never made it to our Top Distressed Banks of the Philippines list, but it was getting there. On March 31, 2016, it posted its peak distressed ratio of 90.04%. Just 2.5 years earlier, this ratio was only 11.02%. However, the bank did consistently rank at or near the top of banks with very high NPLs relative to their equity base. Very often, it ranked second in this ratio, right behind the now-defunct GSIS Family Bank/Comsavings Bank.
By BSP standards, the bank was not failing. As of June 30, 2016, it's last Published Balance Sheet before it closed down, the bank sported capital adequacy ratios of 22.75% for both Total CAR and Tier 1 CAR ratios - well above the BSP recommended minimm of 10.00%. So, there was no danger of imminent collapse. GSIS Family Bank/Comsavings Bank survived for a very long time with numbers much worse than MBank's. MBank could have continued as a zombie bank: not quite dead, not quite alive, and propped up by the sizable financial resources of its parent, Smart Communications.
But, just like Export and Industry Bank, it would have taken years, decades even for the bank to get back to where it was at the start of 2014: a capital base of Php 125 million. At an average thrift bank Return on Equity of roughly 11% per annum, it would have taken 16 to 17 years just to reach its highwater mark of Php 125 million in Stockholder's Equity. Moreover, there was no indication that any telco backed bank had cracked the code of profitability. The bank, had it continued, would only have served as distraction to the management of Smart Communications, which makes Php 125 million or MBank's capital base, in a little over two days.
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 attempts to explain Why Banco Filipino Failed. But it also attempts to assess what other Philippine Banks have the potential to fail in the not too distant future.

Have Real Estate and Construction Loans Reached a Permanently High Plateau in December 2016?
Have Real Estate and Construction Loans as a percentage of the Total Loan Portfolio (TLP) in the Philippine Banking System reached a permanently high plateau?
It would appear so. Sometime in 2011, these loans have rocketed past their historical range of 12.6% to 16.6% of TLP and have stayed there ever since. As of December 2016, these loans have shown no sign of coming back down to their historical ranges. Although that ratio peaked at 20.55% as of September 2013, the ratio remains substantially elevated at 19.83% as of December 2016.
Investment in Construction as a percentage of GDP also remains elevated and, in fact, is at an all time high. This ratio logged 12.22% as of 2016, the highest it has been in twenty-six years.

A Simple Stress Test of Philippine Banks as of September 30, 2016
Editor's Note: This is an updated version of an earlier blog post A Simple Stress Test of Philippine Banks as of June 30, 2016
Editor's Note: For the purposes of this article, Philippine Banks or the Philippine Banking System refers to the Philippine Commercial and Universal Banking System and the Philippine Thrift Banking System. We are ignoring the Philippine Rural and Cooperative Banking System whose asset base is tiny in comparison to the whole banking system (Php 205.91 billion or 1.64% of the Php 12,545.76 billion in assets held in the Philippine Banking System as of June 30, 2016).
In an April 9, 2012 article entitled "Stress Test Proves Strength of PH Banks", "Philippine banks are seen to survive a disaster in which the various lenders are forced to write off loans as large as PhP 36 billion without asking shareholders, the central bank, or the national government for bailout money." This assertion stems from a recent stress test conducted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on all 55 regular and commercial and expanded license banks.
For Philippine Banks, these NPLs currently comprise PhP 135.31 billion or 9.21% of the PhP 1,469.01 billion in Stockholders Equity (SE) as of September 30, 2016. So, writing off 50% of the Philippine Banks NPLs would reduce their aggregate stockholder's equity by a little less than 5%.
Naturally, some banks would be more affected than others. For more information regarding this, please read The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of September 30, 2016).
The stockholder's equity of ten banks would be severely affected. These banks are:

Are NPLs the Right Numbers to Look At?
In a financial crisis, a loan that is current can very well become past due, and a past due loan can become a non-performing loan, and a non-performing loan can become a loan write-off. The real number to look at are the loans that the banks and BSP already consider doubtful: Classified Loans.
Investopedia.com defines "Classified Loans" as:
"Any bank loan that is in danger of default. Classified loans have unpaid interest and principal outstanding, and it is unclear whether the bank will be able to recoup the loan proceeds from the borrower. Banks usually categorize such loans as adversely classified assets on their books."
The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), similar to our very own Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC), defines Classified Loans as:
"Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future."

"Any bank loan that is in danger of default. Classified loans have unpaid interest and principal outstanding, and it is unclear whether the bank will be able to recoup the loan proceeds from the borrower. Banks usually categorize such loans as adversely classified assets on their books."
The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), similar to our very own Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC), defines Classified Loans as:
"Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future."
In Circular #0247 dated May 19, 2000, BSP defines Classified Loans as loans which possess the following characteristics:
- Loans especially mentioned because they have potential weaknesses that deserve Management's close attention;
- Substandard Loans are loans which appear to involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the institution because of unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics;
- Doubtful Loans are Substandard Loans with the added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and in which substantial loss is probable;
- Loss loans are loans that are considered uncollectible or worthless and are of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value.
- Loans Especially Mentioned: 5%
- Substandard - Secured: 6% - 25%
- Substandard - Unsecured: 25%
- Doubtful: 50%
- Loss: 100%

This level of classified loans should be measured against the bank's "capital cushion" or its ability to absorb losses. Capital Cushion is normally defined as a bank's "Tangible Common Equity" plus its Loan Loss Reserves. Tangible Common Equity (TCE) refers to the subset of shareholders' equity that is not preferred equity and not intangible assets. So it excludes such items as Hybrid equity (like preferred shares) and goodwill.
By this measure, the level of "Classified Loans and other Risky Assets" amounts to Php 352.45 billion or 23.55% of the Php 1.50 trillion in Total Capital Cushion of Philippine Banks as of September 30, 2016.

Stress Test Scenarios
Aggregate
So how will a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and even 50% write-off of Classified Loans affect the Total Capital Cushion of the Philippine Banking System?
In the aggregate, if Classified Loans amount to 23.55% of the banking system's Total Capital Cushion, then it follows that a 10% write-off of Classified Loans will reduce the total capital by 2.35% and a 50% write-off of classified loans will reduce the banking system's Total Capital Cushion by 11.78%.
Individual Banks
A 10% write-off of Classified Loans would severely impact (by 30% or more) the Total Capital Cushion of three banks (severely affected banks highlighted in yellow).

Please bear in mind that a number of these banks are already very weak and are in distress. Please see a previous blog post: "The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of September 30, 2016". Moreover, their capital can be overstated. See a previous blog post "Overstated Capital of Philippine Banks as of September 30, 2016". As such, any reduction in their capital cushion could knock down an already weak bank.
