KBC GROEP : Belgium's KBC Announces Early Debt Repayment of Flemish Government Loan

BRUSSELS--Belgian bank KBC Group (KBC) said Wednesday it will make an early repayment of 500 million euros ($681.3 million) to the Flemish regional government, news that helped send its stock price significantly higher.

KBC will make the payment Wednesday, far ahead of the end-2014 deadline for settling the debt, the company said in a statement. The payment includes EUR330 million in principal plus a penalty of 50%.

KBC said the payment is possible because of "KBC's robust capital position." The company said the decision was not opposed by the Belgian central bank.

The bank said that taking into account the repayment and the impact of writing off bad loans by its Irish unit, KBC expects to have a "solid buffer" above its newly-fixed minimum common equity ratio of 9.25%.

KBC was lent EUR7 billion by the Belgian and Flemmish government during the financial crisis. It has already fully reimbursed the federal government in 2012. It still owes another EUR2 billion to the Flemmish government which it must pay by 2020 according to its European Union approved bailout plan.

KBC Chief Executive Officer Johan Thijs said the bank "may opt to accelerate" future repayments to the Flemmish government if our capital position so allows and the national bank grants its approval."

"The strategic plan we agreed with the European Commission five years ago is virtually complete," Mr. Thijs added.

KBC's share price was 4.3% higher at EUR43.80 in late morning trading.

Go long before February 19th
Our Outperform rating on Banco Popolare over the past 12 months has been largely driven by a non-consensual view that the outstanding EUR1bn 'soft' convertible will be redeemed in cash on maturity on March 24th 2014. The announcement by the company in late November that the merger of subsidiaries' CREBERG and Italease in the parent company will improve BP's CT1 ratio by c50bp further strengthened our conviction. Banco Popolare must formalise its intention vis-à-vis the convertible bond by February 19th at the latest. As in our view the confirmation of a redemption in cash will drive a material outperformance of the shares, we urge investors to be long the stock in anticipation of such announcement.
An additional positive catalyst on the horizon
According to the Italian press Banco Popolare is negotiating the possible disposal of a large portfolio of NPLs (various amounts touted, cEUR1bn is the most realistic in our view). As a large stock of impaired loans (18.6% of loans) and low coverage (27%) are often considered the main downside risks in the bank's investment case, a sale would in our view be regarded positively by market participants. Depending on the terms of the deal a disposal may also lead to a further increase in BP's CT1 ratio (we estimate a B3 FL CT1 ratio of c9% in 2014e).
The likely Q4 clean-up is a sideshow
Our estimates factor in a EUR250m extraordinary provision in Q4 13 in relation to the Bank of Italy's AQR. As a Q4 clean-up will not result in a material decline in BP's B3 FL capital ratios (any increase in accounting provisions would be offset by a corresponding reduction in capital deductions) we expect market participants to view it as a one-off.
A material share price rerating is on the cards in the next month
Banco Popolare trades on 2014e P/TBV of c0.4x and a 2015e P/E of c8.0x which we view as extremely compelling. We reduce our 2014e and 2015e adj. EPS estimates by respectively 11% and 6% (higher tax rate) and reiterate our Outperform rating on the stock
