Our multiple approaches see a broad range of valuations: £13.85 DDM, £22.69 SOTP and £23.35 GGM. The average is £19.98, nearly double the current share price. Trading at 62% of NAV is anomalous, in our view, with above the cost of capital returns (target mid-teens pre-tax ROCE) and given ABG’s growth potential. ► Risks: Margins may have peaked now, with the trend, and level, of interest rates a key driver to earnings. A higher-for-longer outlook would assist earnings. Credit is a risk, but ABG is conservative in lending, taking good security; so, its loss, given default, is low. Other risks: reputation, regulation and compliance. ► Investment summary: ABG offers strong-franchise and continuing-business (normalised) profit growth. Its balance sheet strength gives it a number of wideranging options to develop organic and inorganic opportunities. The latter are likely to increase in uncertain times. Management has been innovative, but also very conservative, in managing risk. Having a profitable, well-funded, well-capitalised and strongly growing bank priced below book value is an anomaly, in our view.

Profitability to normalise in FY24F
Arbuthnot (ARBB) has continued to demonstrate the strength of its commercial and private banking franchise as an engine to accumulate low-cost deposits, funding high-yield asset growth via the specialist lending subsidiaries. Over the past two years, rising interest rates have driven a steep NIM-led upgrade cycle. Assuming the tightening cycle has peaked, we expect “supernormal” FY23A RoTE of nearly 18% to moderate to a “cruising altitude” of 12-13% as the gap between deposit and interest rates narrows. Elevated real estate costs impact in FY24F before moderating in FY25F, while we see ARBB’s office upgrade as a confident move to accommodate further expansion of the business. HOUSE STOCK. Interest rate impact to earnings: The increase in rates over the past couple of years sharply accelerated ARBB’s profitability improvement, allowing the company to generate higher income on assets and surplus funding. This drove a steep upgrade cycle with FY23A RoTE of 17.6% and pre-tax profit of £47.1m comparing to our estimates two years ago respectively of c.7% and c.£15m. Our model assumes no future change in interest rates, so the normalisation in profitability from a “supernormal” level in FY23A principally reflects NIM (net interest margin) compression assuming deposits continue to reprice upwards. If base interest rates reduce: (i) liquid assets will reprice immediately lower, noting the significant amount of excess liquidity ARBB currently holds; (ii) fixed-rate lending within the growing specialist lending subsidiaries should partially mitigate pressure on overall asset yields; (iii) realising associated funding cost reductions will take time. ARBB’s share price and P/TNAV valuation have barely moved over the last two years of upgrades, so, in our view, the valuation ought to hold relatively firm when interest rates reduce. Funding & NIM: ARBB’s deposit franchise and low cost of funding are key differentiating factors vs. other smaller UK bank peers. FY23A funding costs were meaningfully lower despite more deposit growth than we had estimated. £3.8bn of deposits at end-2023 reflected a very prudent loan/deposit ratio of 62%. Funding costs averaged 2.4% during FY23A and exited the year at 3.2%, which we now assume has peaked. NIM compression from 6.0% in FY23A to 5.5% in FY24F and 5.3% in FY25F accommodates some caution on asset yields. Forecast changes post FY23A results on 28 March: EPS in FY24F -14% to 167p, FY25F -7% to 189p. EPS reductions principally reflect operating expenses as we factor in: (i) higher real estate costs for ARBB’s office upgrade including the cost of running two premises during FY24F; (ii) continued investment in the digital platform. DPS forecasts are unchanged, FY24F at 50p and FY25F at 54p. Investment case & valuation: ARBB’s valuation is undemanding for a sustainable low/mid-teens RoTE and an estimated 8% compound TNAV growth from FY23A-26F, trading on a trailing P/TNAV of 0.8x, FY24F dividend yield of 4.7% and P/E of 6.4x. Balance sheet strength reflects capital and liquidity surpluses, noting the stock’s robust performance since the Apr 2023 fundraise. Our fair value estimate rises to 1675p (from 1640p) as we roll forward our valuation model.

Yes all seems good at Group level, and as always BV of 1547p is eye wateringly higher than the share price

However, reading on. Wealth Management loses £4m on income of £11m both this year and last (broadly) Why continue this activity?

Similarly Bus and truck finance loses £3.2m on revenue of £100m considerably worse than prior year despite a positive comparison on provisions

And what on earth happens in Other Divisions? How do you turn a profit of £11m into a loss of £5m? Apparently the top line falls £10m while OPEX is up £7m!!!!! I accept a one off write down of property £2.8m as part of the OPEX story

Guess I should attend the AGM

trading statement in the morning chart does not look great, raised 12million early in year above these share price levels, could directors take this private, proabably would if not a bank?!

Remarkable that ARBB managed to produce accounts in 18 days from period end.True that interim figures do not need an audit;but I have not seen interim figures produced so quickly.....Is this a record?

Arbuthnot Banking Group plc posted unaudited Interims for the HY ended 30th June this morning. Customer loans increased by 7% yoy to £2.3b., customer deposits were up 16% yoy to £3.3b. while AUM were up 6% to £1.4b. PBT increased to £26.4m for the six months to 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: £3.4m), EPS surged to 129.4p (30 June 2022: 17.8p). Both were boosted by widening Net interest margins which have benefitted due to the rising BoE bank rate. Even higher interest rates are likely through the remainder of 2023 and 2024 suggesting that profits should remain well supported in the near term. A return to the ultra-low interest rate environment of the past decade is also unlikely suggesting that the medium-term outlook is increasingly favourable for banks. Valuation is very attractive with forward PE ratio at 4.5x comfortably top quartile for the Banking Services sector. The bank is `strengthening with CET1 capital ratio up to 12.2% from 11.4% a year earlier. Share price has spiked up 16% today and is developing some solid momentum. BUY...

Shore Capital

Summary. Arbuthnot has issued a positive trading update, covering four months to 30 April, ahead of an AGM later today. The statement conveys a good start to FY23F. The company continues to benefit from rising interest rates, whereby the increase in deposit costs lags the upward repricing of assets. Loan growth has moderated slightly following a tightening of credit criteria whilst deposit balances have continued to grow. A £12m fundraise in April has increased surplus capital and liquidity, providing the company with significant optionality to seize opportunities emerging from market disruption, particularly if uncertainty prevails in the non-bank space. Part of the proceeds have been used to purchase £42m of assets (at a discount to book value) for the Asset Alliance vehicle leasing business. With a prevailing fair value estimate of 1640p, we continue to see ARBB’s valuation as undemanding with trailing P/TNAV at 0.8x against a business able to sustain a low/mid-teens RoTE, with further support from dividends yielding c.5%. HOUSE STOCK. Forecasts. We will review our forecasts shortly to incorporate recent changes in the UK base rate, the April fundraise and Asset Alliance’s acquisition of operating lease assets. We continue to envisage positive momentum in forecasts even after publishing five material upgrades over the past year, the last of which followed FY22 results on 30 March: Resilient deposits & abundant liquidity. Detail. Loan balances including lease assets at 30 April were £2,234m, +1% compared to 31 Dec and +8% YoY. Deposits at 30 April were £3,255m, +4% YTD and +18% YoY. AuM in the wealth division was £1,376m, +4% YTD and +2% YoY. ARBB remains focused on client service and longterm relationship building to drive sustainable deposit and loan growth. The capture of spread through deposits (i.e. slower upward repricing vs. base rate increases) reflects the mix, which includes current and relationship accounts. ARBB continues to focus on balance sheet efficiency, allowing capital intensive lending to mature and roll off, to be replaced by more capital efficient lending. The challenging macroeconomic environment is resulting in some signs of loan book stress, however given low average LTVs across the overall book, defaults are not expected to entail meaningful incremental losses.
