INTERNAL USE ONLY DO NOT DISTRIBUTE IN PART OR IN WHOLE Corporate Credit > Europe Investment Grade BANQUE FED CRED MUTUEL Updated: Oct 30, 2015 Trade Idea: Buy Investment Rationale: - BFCM presents very solid fundamentals. It is part of the CM11-CIC Group (solidarity mechanism) which has a 13% market share of the French retail banking market. Strong geographic focus on France (around 74%), but small positions in Germany (Targobank), Benelux and Spain. - The business profile is healthy, with retail banking comprising around 70% of net banking income. BFCM released for 1H15 a net income of EUR919m (+2.6% yoy) based on higher net banking income (+9.5% yoy; increase in NIM, net fee in retail banking, and large contributions from gains on financial instruments at fair value and AfS assets), and slightly lower risk costs (-1.6% yoy). In regard to the capital adequacy levels the French regulator is focusing on the parent company Groupe CM11. The CET1 ratio was estimated at a solid 14.6% (under transitional rules) and the leverage ratio at 5.9%. Although the spreads recently recovered nicely there seems to be some juice left.
