Financial Commentary
Overview
HSBC Bank Canada reported a profit before income tax expense of C$158m for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of C$73m, or 31.6%, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The decrease is mainly due to higher loan impairment charges due to credit deterioration on specific files in the energy portfolio. Excluding loan impairment charges, operating income net of operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 is consistent with the first quarter of 2015.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, operating profit increased by C$185m due to lower loan impairment charges taken in the quarter and higher trading income due to a favourable change to the Credit Value Adjustment in the first quarter of 2016.
Commercial banking remains focused on enhancing and simplifying its delivery model, improving productivity to the benefit of its customers and employees, despite headwinds from sustained low energy and commodity prices. The business focuses on deepening relationships with existing clients while attracting and retaining new customers to the bank. In the first quarter of 2016, new-to-bank lending activities increased 30% year-over-year while client attrition improved when compared with 2015. The business continues to make tangible strides against compliance agenda with a number of key milestones achieved in the first quarter.
Global Banking and Markets continues to leverage HSBC's global network on behalf of its clients resulting in increased trading revenues as well as lending and credit activities, while Capital Financing activities decreased during the quarter.
Retail Banking and Wealth Management continues to benefit from growth in residential mortgages and deposits, with a key focus on revenue in a highly competitive low interest rate market environment.
Commenting on the results, Sandra Stuart, President and Chief Executive Officer of HSBC Bank Canada, said:
"In the first quarter, revenues improved by 3% over the same period in 2015. This is attributed to solid performance in our Global Banking and Markets business, where there were strong trading revenues. There was also growth in both our mortgage and mutual fund portfolios in Retail Banking and Wealth Management. Costs improved from the previous quarter. They are well managed, and reflect our investments in our people, processes and technology to improve our efficiency, combat financial crime, as well as deliver the digitised services and global connectivity our customers demand. The downturn in the energy sector continues to weigh on our results and we continue to take the steps necessary to effectively manage our exposure.
"Our business fundamentals remain sound and we are focused on working with our customers to help them realise their financial goals so they can grow here at home and around the world."
Analysis of Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2016
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2016 was C$281m, a decrease of C$6m, or 2.1%, compared with the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of C$1m, or 0.4%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the continued run-off of the consumer finance portfolio, the impact of two Bank of Canada rate cuts in 2015, and increased liquidity and funding costs. This was partially offset by higher asset balances resulting from growth in residential mortgages, a change in the categorisation of banker's acceptances from the fourth quarter of 2015 and onwards from trading assets to loans and advances, as well as yield improvement on commercial loans.
Net fee income for the first quarter of 2016 was C$161m, a decrease of C$11m, or 6.4%, compared with the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of C$4m, or 2.4%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The decreases are mainly due to reduced account service fees from fee refunds and lower debt capital market volume.
Net trading income for the first quarter of 2016 was C$67m, an increase of C$52m, or 346.7%, compared with the first quarter of 2015, and an increase of C$90m compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Net trading income increased over the comparative periods mainly due to a favourable change to the Credit Value Adjustment on derivative contracts due to the tightening of customer credit spreads and the strengthening Canadian dollar. Also, derivative fair value movements were recycled to the income statement due to hedge accounting criteria not having been met, negatively impacting net trading income in 2015.
Net expense from financial instruments designated at fair value for the first quarter of 2016 was C$1m, compared with an income of C$2m in the first quarter of 2015 and an expense of C$1m for the fourth quarter of 2015. The net expense from financial instruments designated at fair value was caused from marginal narrowing of the bank's own credit spread which increased the fair value of these subordinated debentures. This compares with an income recorded in the prior quarter which arose from the widening of the bank's own credit spread.
Gains less losses from financial investments for the first quarter of 2016 were C$21m, a decrease of C$15m, or 41.7%, compared with the first quarter of 2015 and an increase of C$14m, or 200.0%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Gains on sale of available-for-sale debt securities arise from the continued rebalancing of the Balance Sheet Management portfolio.
Other operating income for the first quarter of 2016 was C$15m, a decrease of C$3m, or 16.7%, compared with the first and fourth quarters of 2015. This was primarily due to income received from the sale in the first quarter of 2015 of a small portfolio of impaired loans.
Loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions for the first quarter of 2016 were C$85m, an increase of C$69m compared with the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of C$79m compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions over the first quarter of 2015 is primarily due to credit deterioration on specific files in the energy portfolio. The decrease over the fourth quarter of 2015 is mainly due to the timing of collective allowances taken on the energy sector.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were C$301m, an increase of C$15m or 5.2%, compared with the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of C$10m, or 3.2%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Total operating expenses are higher than the first quarter of 2015 mainly due to the adverse impact caused by the lower Canadian dollar on expenses denominated in foreign currencies, and continued investments in the implementation of HSBC's Global Standards and other efficiency initiatives to deliver future savings. Total operating expenses are lower than the fourth quarter of 2015 due to prudent cost management resulting in lower salaries from reduced head count, lower automobile and travel expenses, as well as the timing of certain expenditures.
Share of profit in associates for the first quarter of 2016 was $nil, a decrease of C$3m from the first quarter of 2015 and an increase of C$1m from the fourth quarter of 2015.
Income tax expense The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2016 was 27.0%, compared with 27.8% for fiscal year 2015.
Statement of Financial Position
Total assets at 31 March 2016 were C$92.6bn, a decrease of C$1.4bn over 31 December 2015. Balance Sheet Management activities decreased financial investments, reverse repurchase agreements – non-trading, and loans and advances to banks by C$1.3bn, C$0.8bn and C$0.4bn respectively. The decrease in loans and advances to customers is driven mainly by lower facility utilisation partially offset by increased new-to-bank activities. Trading assets increased by C$1.0bn mainly due to the timing of settlement.
Total liabilities at 31 March 2016 were C$87.2bn, a decrease of C$1.5bn from 31 December 2015. Customer deposit accounts decreased by C$1.3bn mainly due to seasonal movement on commercial banking deposits. Balance Sheet Management activities decreased non-trading repurchase agreements by C$0.8bn, and subordinated liabilities of C$0.2bn were redeemed. This was partially offset by increased trading liabilities of C$1.0bn mainly due to higher securities short positions from client facilitation trades.
Total equity at 31 March 2016 was C$5.4bn, an increase of C$0.04bn from 31 December 2015, mainly due to profits generated in the period.
Business Performance in the First Quarter of 2016
Commercial Banking
Profit before income tax expense was C$52m for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of C$84m, or 62%, compared with the first quarter of 2015. Higher loan impairment charges from the energy sector, lower net interest income due to increased liquidity and funding costs, and margin compression driven by Bank of Canada rate cuts in 2015 were the main drivers of the decrease. Profit before income tax expense was C$85m higher when compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, driven primarily by lower loan impairment charges and lower operating expenses.
Global Banking and Markets
Profit before income tax expense was C$111m for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of C$30m, or 37%, compared with the first quarter of 2015, and an increase of C$117m compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Lower loan impairment charges from the energy sector offset against lower net interest income due to increased liquidity and funding costs, and margin compression driven by Bank of Canada rate cuts in 2015 were the main drivers of the increase.
Retail Banking and Wealth Management
Profit before income tax expense relating to ongoing business (excluding the run-off consumer finance portfolio) was C$5m, a decrease of C$6m, or 55%, compared with the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of C$4m, or 44% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015.
The decreases over comparative periods were primarily due to increased business operating expenses and investment in HSBC's Global Standards and risk and compliance activities, as well as higher loan impairment charges.
Profit before income tax expense relating to the run-off consumer finance portfolio for the first quarter of 2016 was C$5m, a decrease of C$7m, or 58%, compared to the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of C$2m, or 29%, compared to the last quarter of 2015.
The decreases over comparative periods were primarily due to income received from the sale of a small portfolio of impaired loans in 2015, and the continued run-off of the portfolio.
Other
Loss before income tax expense was C$15m for the quarter ended 31 March 2016, an increase of C$6m, or 67%, compared to the first quarter of 2015 and an increase of C$10m, or 200%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in loss compared to the comparative periods is mainly due to the narrowing of credit spreads on financial instruments designated at fair value, and a change in the bank's liquidity funds transfer pricing policy framework, negatively impacting net interest income in the first quarter of 2016.
Dividends
During the first quarter of 2016, the bank declared and paid C$48m in dividends on HSBC Bank Canada common shares, a decrease of C$40m compared with the same quarter last year. Regular quarterly dividends of 31.875 cents per share, 31.25 cents per share, and 25 cents per share have been declared on HSBC Bank Canada Class 1 Preferred Shares – Series C, Series D and Series G respectively, for shareholders of record on 15 June 2016 and will be paid on 30 June 2016.
Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In measuring our performance, the financial measures that we use include those which have been derived from our reported results. However these are not presented within the Financial Statements and are not defined under IFRS. These are considered non-IFRS financial measures and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The following non-IFRS financial measures are used throughout this document and their purposes and definitions are discussed below:
Performance ratios
Performance ratios are useful for management to evaluate profitability on equity, assets and risk-weighted assets.
Return on average common shareholder's equity is calculated as profit attributable to the common shareholder divided by average common equity (determined using month-end balances during the period).
Post-tax return on average total assets is calculated as profit attributable to the common shareholder divided by average total assets (determined using average month-end balances during the period).
Pre-tax return on average risk-weighted assets is calculated as profit before income tax expense divided by the average monthly balances of risk-weighted assets for the period. Risk-weighted assets are calculated using guidelines issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada ('OSFI') in accordance with the Basel III capital adequacy framework.
Credit coverage ratios
Credit coverage ratios are useful to management as a measure of the extent of incurred loan impairment charges relative to the bank's performance and size of its customer loan portfolio during the period.
Loan impairment charges to total operating income is calculated as loan impairment charges and other credit provisions, as a percentage of total operating income for the period.
Loan impairment charges to average gross customer advances is calculated as annualised loan impairment charges and other credit provisions for the period, as a percentage of average gross customer advances (determined using month-end balances during the period).
Total impairment allowances to impaired loans at period-end are useful to management to evaluate the coverage of impairment allowances relative to impaired loans using period-end balances.
Efficiency ratios
Efficiency ratios are measures of the bank's efficiency in managing its operating expense to generate revenue.
Cost efficiency ratio is calculated as total operating expenses as a percentage of total operating income for the period.
Adjusted cost efficiency ratio is calculated similar to the cost efficiency ratio; however, total operating excludes gains and losses from financial instruments designated at fair value, as the movement in value of the bank's own subordinated debt issues is primarily driven by changes in market rates and are not under the control of management.
Revenue mix ratio
This measure demonstrates the contribution of each of the primary revenue streams to total income.
Net interest income, net fee income and net trading income as a percentage of total operating income is calculated as net interest income, net fee income and net trading income divided by net operating income before loan impairment charges and other credit risk provisions.
Financial ratios
These measures are indicators of the stability of the bank's balance sheet and the degree to which funds are deployed to fund assets.
Ratio of customer advances to customer accounts is calculated by dividing loans and advances to customers by customer accounts using period-end balances.
Average total shareholders' equity to average total assets is calculated by dividing average total shareholders' equity with average total assets (determined using month-end balances) for the period.
