BANKING The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited

Profile &Ownership First Women Bank Limited (FWBL), established in 1989, is a commercial bank

focused towards facilitation of women’s financial needs.

FWBL mainly provides borrowing facilities to entities which are i) 50% owned by women, ii) wherein a woman is the Managing Director and iii) women employees dominate more than 50% of the workforce.

The bank operates through a network of 42 branches spread over 24 cities as at end-Dec15.

The sponsors of the bank are GoP with 80% holding while MCB, HBL, ABL, NBP and UBL jointly hold remaining 20%.

Governance The overall control of the bank currently vests in a six-member board of directors

which include the President and five NEDs.

The board comprises qualified and experienced professionals with sound industry knowledge and extensive banking acumen.

The Board is expected to be reconstituted to four representatives of GoP, one each from HBL and MCB and one Director representing the three other stakeholders i.e. ABL, UBL and NBP.

Mr. Mudassir H. Khan is the new Chairman of the Board and holds the position Group Chief – Commercial & Retail in NBP.

Management The senior management team at FWBL comprises seasoned personnel; however,

majority has brief experience at their current positions.

Ms. Tahira Raza was appointed as President and CEO of FWBL in Apr-14.

She has 41 years of experience in banking and has previously been associated with FWBL as one of the founding executive in 1989.

Risk Management FWBL’s total assets registered a considerable growth of 14% during CY15

predominantly a facet of higher earning assets.

Increase in earning assets reflects the bank’s positive growth strategy given continuing optimization of related funding structure.

The bank’s advances to deposit ratio (ADR) declined to 53% at end-CY15 (CY14: 63%) as a high proportion of funds brought in have been channeled towards government securities.

Top-20 advances (including government exposure) concentration surged considerably to 92% (Dec14: 71%; Dec13: 74%).

Asset Quality During CY15, FWBL’s overall asset quality deteriorated considerably on account of

higher infection in textile and construction sector

Moreover, loan loss coverage has dropped to 68% (end-CY14: 75%); thus net NPLs have risen.

Business Risk Significant growth in non-markup income (up by 459% YoY) attributable largely to

gain on sale of investments strengthened the revenue base.

Significantly low provisioning expense augmented the bank’s bottom-line. Hence, the bank reported a net profit of PKR 26mln (CY14: loss of PKR 500mln).

Going forward, FWBL plans to maintain size of its loan portfolio, improve quality of exposures, work on recoveries and strengthen treasury operations.

Financial Risk Deposit base remained tilted towards interest rate sensitive (saving and time) deposits

which constitute ~76%.

Top-20 depositors’ concentration increased marginally to 35% (end-CY14: 28%).

However, increased investment in government securities has improved the overall liquidity position

Post equity injection, FWBL is MCR compliant with a CAR of 40%.

RATING RATIONALE

The ratings primarily reflect strong

association of FWBL with the

Government of Pakistan (GoP) - the

major shareholder - demonstrating

continued commitment and support.

Subsequent to injection of equity of PKR

1bln in FY15, GoP has injected another

PKR 1bln in FY16 as committed. The

bank thus has met MCR of PKR 3bln.

During CY15, the bank has witnessed

bottom-line profitability; however, this

was mainly a result of gains in treasury

operations. The bank's high cost

operational structure and provision

expense on increasing non-performing

loans continued to drag the performance.

Cognizant of the matter, the management

targets volumetric growth in deposits and

advances. The management is focusing to

reduce its funding cost; thereby

improving its spreads. Meanwhile, given

recent capital compliance, the

management has resources and clarity

available to implement its business plan.

KEY RATING DRIVERS The ratings are dependent on the bank's ability to achieve bottom-line break-even on a sustainable basis. Successful execution of the business strategy, while improving efficacy of the risk management framework to improve asset quality - which is currently suppressed - remains important.

The evaluation of credit proposals are managed by three committees (Regional, Executive and Credit Risk Management), each having specific discretionary powers identified through type of financing (funded or non-funded), margin requirements and the maximum tenure of transaction. The bank has in place, Internal Credit Risk Rating Policy specifying detailed criteria for lending to Corporates, SMEs and Consumers.

base has increased on YoY basis. However, the bank’s advances to deposit ratio (ADR) declined to 53% at end-CY15; CY14: 63%) as a high proportion of funds brought in have been channelled towards government securities; a facet of the bank’s cautious lending stance. Top-20 advances concentration (including government exposure) surged considerably to 92% (Dec14: 71%; Dec13: 74%). Government exposures represented 45% in overall advances at end-CY15 (CY14: 33%). 5.4 .Asset quality and accumulated provisions: During CY15, FWBL’s overall asset quality deteriorated considerably on account of higher infection in textile and construction sector exposures.

CC “CCC” Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial

commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or

C economic developments. “CC” Rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable. “C” Ratings signal imminent default.

D Obligations are currently in default.

Rating Watch Alerts to the possibility of a rating change

subsequent to, or in anticipation of, a)

some material identifiable event and/or b)

deviation from expected trend. But it does

not mean that a rating change is

inevitable. Rating Watch may carry

designation – Positive (rating may be

raised, negative (lowered), or developing

(direction is unclear). A watch should be

resolved within foreseeable future, but

may continue if underlying circumstances

are not settled.

Outlook (Stable, Positive, Negative,

Developing) Indicates the potential and direction of a

rating over the intermediate term in response

to trends in economic and/or fundamental

business/financial conditions. It is not

necessarily a precursor to a rating change.

‘Stable’ outlook means a rating is not likely

to change. ‘Positive’ means it may be raised.

‘Negative’ means it may be lowered. Where

the trends have conflicting elements, the

outlook may be described as ‘Developing’.

Suspension It is not possible to update

an opinion due to lack of

requisite information.

Opinion should be resumed

in foreseeable future.

However, if this does not

happen within six (6)

months, a suspended rating

should be considered

withdrawn.

Withdrawn A rating is withdrawn

on a) termination of

rating mandate, b)

cessation of underlying

entity, c) the debt

instrument is

redeemed, d) the rating

remains suspended for

six months, or e) the

entity/issuer defaults.

convertibility risk that may exist for foreign currency creditors. PACRA's opinion is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a security, in as much
