Net Income for full year 2014 ended at P18.0 billion, P772 million,
or 4.1% lower than same period last year of P18.8 billion. Total
revenues grew by P3.3 billion but this improvement was negated

million, and P805 million, respectively. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest at P23 million, was lower by P160 milion, or
87.4%. This downturn was brought about by the lower income

investment income dropped and insurance claims increased.
Impairment losses
This year's impairment losses of P2.8 billion, was P159 million, or
6.0% up on higher loan loss provisioning.
Income Tax

19.4%, from P4.2 billion. Current income tax rose by P1.2 billion or
29.6% due to higher proportions of Bank pre-tax earnings that are

Profitability Ratios
Like all businesses, banks profit by earning more money than
what they pay in expenses. The major portion of a bank's profit
comes from the fees that it charges for its services and the
interest that it earns on its resources. Its major expense is the
interest paid on its liabilities. The major resources of a bank are its
loans to individuals, businesses, and other organizations and the
securities that it holds, while its major liabilities are its deposits
and the money that it borrows, either from other banks or by
selling commercial paper in the money market. Resources are
used by businesses to generate income. Loans and securities are
a bank's resources and are used to provide most of a bank's
income. However, to make loans and to buy securities, a bank
must have money, which comes primarily from the bank's owners
in the form of bank capital, from depositors, and from money that
it borrows from other banks or by selling debt securitiesa bank
buys resources primarily with funds obtained from its liabilities as
can be seen from the following classic accounting equation:
Resources = Liabilities + Bank Capital (Owners' Capital funds)
Profitability is simply the capacity to make a profit, and a profit is
what is left over from income earned after you have deducted all
costs and expenses related to earning the income. It is simply the
ability of the company to turn business activity into profits.

Return on Resources
Return on resources of the company for the previous year were
1.87%, higher than the industry of 1.6%; it decreases to 1.44% for
the current year, however, it is still above industry of 1.3%. The
company is above average for both years. It provides evidence
that the decrease in value of both (computed and industry) from
previous to current were common on the whole banking sector.
The company is efficiently using its resources to generate
earnings compared to other in the industry. However, ROA vary
substantially and highly dependent on the industry. It is
sometimes called return on investment, in the sense that
resources are investments from the owners and creditors of the
company, hoping to earn returns in the future. The higher the ROA
number, the better, because the company is earning more money
on less investment. Some formula add back interest income to
ignore cost associated with funding those resources.
Cost-to-income ratio
Cost-to-income ratio of the company for the previous year were
50.86%, lower than the industry of 60.6%; it increases to 51.85%
for the current year, however, it is still below industry of 62.3%.
The company is below average for both years. It provides
evidence that the increase in value of both (computed and
industry) from previous to current were common only to higher
than average (not including BPI) companies of the whole banking
sector. This is a good result, with BPI segregated among other
banks, since it gives investors a clear view of how efficiently the
firm is being run the lower it is, the more profitable the bank will
be. As reflected from the vertical and horizontal analysis, net
income really rises, and the returns (ROA and ROE) ratios are
always above average.

Leverage Ratios
Companies rely on a mixture of owners' capital funds and debt to
finance their operations. A leverage ratio is any one of several
financial measurements that look at how much resource comes in
the form of debt, or assesses the ability of a company to meet
financial obligations. Uncontrolled debt levels can lead to credit
downgrades or worse.
Page 26 of 40
On the other hand, too few debts can also raise questions. If a
company's operations can generate a higher rate of return than
the interest rate on its loans, then the debt is helping to fuel
growth in profits. Higher net interest margin is good reflection of
having higher liabilities. A reluctance or inability to borrow may be
a sign that operating margins are simply too tight. There are
several different specific ratios that may be categorized as a
leverage ratio, but the main factors considered are include debt,
capital funds, resources and interest expenses, and they are the
following: Debt ratio, Debt-to-capital funds ratio, and Capital funds
ratio, computed as Total liabilities divide by total resources, total
liabilities divide by total capital funds, and total capital funds
divide by total resources, respectively.
Debt ratio
Debt ratio of the company for the previous year was 91.49%,
higher than the industry of 88.70%; it decreases to 89.88% for the
current year, however, is still above industry of 87.77%. The
company is above average for both years. It provides evidence
that the decrease in value of both (computed and industry) from
previous to current were common on the whole banking sector.
Debt ratio is financial ratio that measures the extent of a
companys leverage, or the debt aggressiveness. The debt ratio is
defined as the ratio of total long-term and short-term debt to
total resources, expressed as a decimal or percentage. It can be
interpreted as the proportion of a companys resources that are
financed by debt. The higher this ratio, the more leveraged the
company is, implying greater financial risk. The company, from
the results, compared to other banks, have higher financial risk. At
the same time, leverage is an important tool that companies use
to grow, and many businesses find sustainable uses for debt. Debt
ratios vary widely across industries, with liability-intensive
businesses such as banks having much higher debt ratios than
other industries like manufacturing and merchandising. Used in
conjunction with other measures of financial health, the debt ratio
can help investors determine a company's risk level. Some
sources define the debt ratio as total liabilities divided by total
resources. This reflects a certain ambiguity between the terms
"debt" and "liabilities" that depends on the circumstance. In the

Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratio is a class of financial metrics that is used to
determine a company's ability to pay off its short-terms debts
obligations. This class of ratio is more focus on short-term, rather
than long-term which is the focus of profitability ratios. In general,
the greater the coverage of liquid resources to short-term
liabilities the better as it is a clear signal that a company can pay
its debts that are coming due in the near future and still fund its
on-going operations. On the other hand, a company with a low
coverage rate should raise a red flag for investors as it may be a
sign that the company will have difficulty meeting running its
operations, as well as meeting its obligations. The biggest
difference between each ratio is the type of resources used in the
calculation. While each ratio includes current resources, the more
conservative ratios will exclude some current resources as they
aren't as easily converted to cash. The major ratios for a bank

Growth Ratios
Any firm whose business generates significant positive cash flows
or earnings, which increase at significantly faster rates than the
overall economy is called growth company. It tends to have very
profitable reinvestment opportunities for its own retained
earnings. Thus, it typically pays little to no dividends to
stockholders, opting instead to plough most or all of its profits
back into its expanding business. This type of company though
were not the model of major growth ratios of the banking industry
as follows: Basic earnings per share, Diluted earnings per share,
Dividend per share, Dividend yield ratio, Book Value per share,
and Dividend pay-out ratio, computed as given by the table
above. Growth ratios measure growth rate of the company
instead, but not on a direct generalization, as to a one visually
evident when you get the increase (decrease) in percentage of an
account over time. Although these rates are also measured, it
doesnt give a long-term projection for the future earnings of the
company.
share after all debts are paid accordingly. Should the company decide
to dissolve, the book value per common indicates the dollar value
remaining for common shareholders after all resources are liquidated
and all debtors are paid. In simple terms it would be the amount of
money that a holder of a common share would get if a company were
to liquidate. From the results, shareholders have enough safety after
all debts are paid, but at the least amount, were small capital funds
are distributed to large number of shareholders.
trends in the pay-out ratio also matter. A steadily rising ratio could
indicate a healthy, maturing business, but a spiking one could mean
the dividend is heading into unsustainable territory.

the ratios improve more proportionally so they can earn as much than
they could. The only problem that they may encounter is that the current
deposit liabilities may be withdrawn anytime.
Recommendation
From the results of the vertical, horizontal analysis, and ratio
analysis, we recommend the following point for the BPIs
management:
1. Maintain or improve their financial performance status as what
can be seen from their overall profitability ratios, which is above
average. Hence, increase services prices. Banks can use a
customer-centric pricing programs. This will increase EPS, and
latter increase bank overall status.
2. Increase the percentage for capital funds. For various reasons
there is a strong incentive for banks to keep the capital funds as
low as possible. Mainly because the interest rates on the loans
are higher than the interest rates on the deposits, the return on
equity can be pushed higher by increasing the leverage (i.e. the
ratio of deposits to capital funds). However, small equity capital
increases the risk of the bank going bankrupt when the value of
its outstanding loans falls below the value of the deposits. If this
happens, the equity capital can be used to absorb such losses.
The higher the equity capital is, the higher the bank's capacity
to absorb losses. Lastly, this will increase book value, and latter
increase bank status.
As BSP, adjusted the level of the required minimum capital to
ensure that banks stand on a strong capital base to support a
threshold scale of operations to operate viably and service
effectively the needs of their clients, increasing is the best
possible advice for financial stability and effective delivery of
services.
3. Liquidity and capital requirements both play an important role
in the viability and solvency of banks. Therefore, they should
increase Reserves and Liquid assets, both point determinants of
a stable capital and liquidity status for contingencies,
respectively.
