Hatton National Bank PLC is a Sri Lanka-based commercial bank. The Company is engaged in the provision of general banking, development banking, offshore banking, mortgage financing, lease and hire purchase financing, corporate banking, dealing in government securities and listed equities, pawn broking, e-banking facilities, Islamic banking, custodian banking for mobile banking, stock broking, providing life and general insurance services, micro financing, other financial services and property development. The Company operates through five segments, which include banking, leasing/hire purchase, property, insurance and others. The Property and insurance segment represents the operating results and financial position of the subsidiaries, including Sithma Development (Pvt) Ltd and HNB Assurance PLC. Operating results and financial position of HNB Grameen Finance Ltd is presented as the Company's others segment.

Fitch Ratings Lanka has confirmed Hatton National Bank's (HNB) National Long-Term rating at 'AA-(lka)' with a stable outlook.

The agency has also confirmed HNB's subordinated debentures at 'A+(lka)', a statement said.

"The ratings reflect HNB's sound financial profile, supported by robust capitalization, asset quality and profitability among local commercial banks," it said.

"The ratings are, however, are constrained by HNB's loan concentrations to related parties, geographic concentrations in Maldives, and increasing loan/deposit ratios."

Fitch warned that a sustained deterioration in HNB's capitalisation and asset quality relative to 'AA(lka)' peers would put downward pressure on the ratings.

The full ratings report follows:

Fitch Ratings Lanka has affirmed Hatton National Bank PLC's (HNB) National Long-Term rating at 'AA-(lka)'. The Outlook is Stable. The agency has also affirmed HNB's subordinated debentures at 'A+(lka)'.

The ratings reflect HNB's sound financial profile, supported by robust capitalization, asset quality and profitability among local commercial banks. The ratings are, however, are constrained by HNB's loan concentrations to related parties, geographic concentrations in Maldives (23% of equity at H111), and increasing loan/deposit ratios (H111: 94%; 2010: 88%). A sustained deterioration in HNB's capitalisation and asset quality relative to 'AA(lka)' peers would put downward pressure on the ratings.

Tier I and total capital adequacy ratios (factoring un-audited profits in H111), though declined, remained satisfactory at 10.2% and 11.4%, respectively, in H111 (2010: 11.0% and 12.6%). Equity/assets ratio was 9% at H111 (2010: 9.5%). These ratios compared well with peers. In addition, HNB raised LKR6bn Tier 1 capital and LKR2bn sub-debt (Tier II capital) during May-September 2011. Fitch notes that these additional capital infusions will support HNB's future loan growth and increase capital buffers to manage potential loan losses. Management expects to target tier 1 ratios at 11% in the near term after factoring in projected asset growth.

Fitch notes that HNB's loan book steadily increased by 19% yoy in both 2010 and H111 as the post-war domestic economy improved, after a decline to 5% in FY09 from 13% in FY08, similar to other banks. Approximately 42% of the bank's loan book comprised corporate loans, with retail/consumer loans and SME loans accounting for 16% and 13%, respectively, at end-December 2010. At the same time, housing loans, leasing and pawning (gold-backed loans) accounted for 9%, 7% and 13% of loans, respectively.

The bank's asset quality compares well with its peers. Its overall non-performing loans (NPL)/gross loan ratio was 4.78% at H111 (2010: 4.55%) largely driven by improvements in the domestic business unit (DBU) side of the loan book. DBU NPL/gross loans marginally reduced to 3.8% at H111 (2010: 4.0%). However, foreign currency loan book in 2010-H111 was vulnerable due to some credit exposures to Maldivian resort projects. Fitch expects cashflow to turn positive in mid-2012, until which these credits will remain classified as NPLs on HNB's loan book. However, management expects NPL/loans ratio to range between 3% and 4% in 2012, as the bank increases its DBU exposures and remains cautious on its foreign currency business unit's balance sheet.

HNB's current and savings account improved in 2010, accounting for 54.2% of total deposits as at end-December 2010 (46.5% at end-December 2009), although these dropped to 50.3% at H111. This deposit mix helped support HNB's overall net interest margins (H111: 5.4%, 2010: 6.0%), which compared well relative to the sector.

Apr i1, 2013 (LBO) - Sri Lanka's Hatton National Bank Plc is planning to sell 4.0 billion rupees of subordinated debt, which has been rated 'A+(lka)(EXP)' one notch below its long term rating, Fitch Ratings said.

The funds will be used for fresh lending and to strengthen the bank's regulatory Tier II capital base.

The full statement is reproduced below:

Fitch Rates Sri Lanka's HNB's Subordinated Debt Issue 'A+(lka)(EXP)'

Fitch Ratings-Colombo/Seoul/Singapore-11 April 2013: Fitch Ratings has assigned Sri Lanka-based Hatton National Bank PLC's (HNB; AA-(lka)/Stable) proposed issue of unsecured subordinated redeemable debentures of up to LKR4bn an expected National Long-Term rating of 'A+(lka)(EXP)'.

HNB plans to list the debentures subject to receiving the necessary regulatory approvals. The final rating is contingent upon the receipt of final documentation conforming to information already received, including details regarding the amount and tenor.

Rating Action Rationale
The proposed debentures are rated one notch below HNB's National Long-Term rating of 'AA-(lka)' to reflect their subordinated status. The proposed debentures will have a five-year tenor with bullet principal repayment at maturity. Coupon payments will be at a fixed rate, and paid annually, helping the bank to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.

HNB expects to use the proceeds to fund its projected lending activities and to strengthen the bank's regulatory Tier 2 capital base.

Key Rating Drivers
HNB's ratings reflect its strong domestic franchise and satisfactory financial profile, supported by healthy capitalisation levels, average asset quality and healthy profitability compared with domestic peers. The ratings are, however, constrained by the bank's higher non-performing loan (NPL) concentrations compared with higher-rated peers, most recently driven by its exposure to weak credits in the Maldives. A structurally higher loan/deposit ratio and a lower mix of current and savings deposit accounts, compared with higher-rated peers, are also constraints on the ratings.

Rating Sensitivities
A material reduction in HNB's NPL concentrations or a strong commitment to maintaining Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio and impairment reserve coverage above higher-rated peers' over the long-term, could lead to a rating upgrade. Sustained improvements in its current and-savings account base (2012: 45% of deposits) and loans/deposits ratio (2012: 90%) over the medium-term could also support a higher rating.

Conversely, a sustained material weakening in HNB's capitalisation or asset quality relative to its rated peers could result in a rating downgrade.

The question is whether this will be listed debentures or private placements. Listed debentures get differential taxes, so it should be listed.

Now the HNB is very well positioned to get the leadership in the banking sector. They were once leading the sector however in the middle of the journey they lost that status to COMB.

What happened later was HNB slowly but surely try to grab that past glory status of the bank by managing NPA levels prudently, Balancing a well diversified product portfolio, Reducing costs, etc...etc..

On the other hand their competitors tried to canvases business from HNB by offering lower rates than HNB and at the end of the day they had to pay the penalty. HNB was pioneered in Pawning and Housing loans later others came to the scene and tried to overtake HNB by allowing better rates and giving more advances in the area of pawning business.

Now all the other competitor banks are suffering from these childish activities and at the end of the day HNB is benefitting.

They have reported great financials in a gloomy economic conditions for the 1H 2013. Their ratios are attractive. Core business growth can be witnessed. They are enjoying their margins now. Prudent management concepts. They never panicked.

Now the HNB is blessed with young blood from top to bottom. Their MD/CEO may be one of the youngest persons among their competitors. They have the blessings from the GOVT as well since their chairman Dr(Mrs) R. Jayamaha is from CBSL and majority of the shares are now owned by the Govt.

My view is that HNB will grab the past glory status they enjoyed in CSE couple of years back very soon.

Once upon a time I can remember When competitor bank shares were trading around Rs 200 levels HNB shares were trading at Rs 600+ levels.

  • Second Runner Up Best Corporate Citizen Sustainability Award
  • Ranked in the Top Ten Corporate Citizen list for 2019
  • Winner of Consistent Commitment and Continuous Improvement - Governance award
  • Winner Triple Bottom Line Award in Economic Sustainability (Profit) category
  • Winner Employee Relations Category Award
  • Winner - Best Projects Sustainability Award for Sustainable Development Goals Action Campaign
  • Merit Certificate in Best Sustainability Projects for Thundola Conservation Project

Sri Lanka's most respected retail bank, HNB PLC continued to win prestigious acclaim for its efforts in driving a more sustainable banking and corporate culture, this year winning a total of 7 awards at the recently concluded Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) Best Corporate Citizen Sustainability Awards 2019 (BCCSA).
Building on an outstanding reputation for corporate stewardship, this year the bank emerged as Second Runner Up in the events flagship category, the Best Corporate Citizen Sustainability Award, in addition to being ranked among Sri Lanka's Top Ten Corporate Citizens for 2019.
The Bank was also declared winners in the Consistent Commitment and Continuous Improvement - Governance category, in addition to the Triple Bottom Line Award - Economic Sustainability (Profit) category.
HNB emerged as winners in the Employee Relations category Award in recognition of its pioneering human resources management, development and engagement strategies which are aimed at enhancing the capabilities of its entire workforce.
The Bank’s outstanding efforts to drive progress in relation to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) through direct and indirect support channelled towards environmental conservation, renewable energy, water and waste management at a national scale helped HNB to secure the first place among its peers in the Best Projects Sustainability Award.
Additionally, the Bank’s Thundola Conservation Project won HNB further recognition having been presented with the Merit Certificate in the Best Sustainability Projects category.
Elaborating on the strategies and policies that contributed towards the Bank’s remarkable performance at this year’s awards, HNB Chief Transformation Officer, Chiranthi Cooray reiterated the need for all Sri Lankan corporates to actively engage in sustainable practices.
“Social and environmental sustainability are no longer factors which can be added on to an existing business model. The businesses of tomorrow are those which embed sustainability and social responsibility today. In order to best align with this new reality, HNB has already undergone major transformations that prioritize triple bottom line growth and foster sustainable economic opportunities at every level of the national economy,” she stated.
Since establishment, HNB has been closely linked to the growth of Sri Lankan enterprises and by the 1980s, became the very first private sector commercial bank to enter the SME sector with the specific purpose of fostering growth and wealth creation in Sri Lanka’s vital rural economy.

Thanks @ColomboCSE. As you very correctly said, Westpac must have had the bushfire impact as well. However, in their recently issued FS, it is specifically mentioned that the significant impairment charge is due to COVID 19. I would say, 80% of the impact is coming from COVID 19. 

I will do a Beta calculation video soon

Thanks for your interest and comments
