- However, the CBO raised the Cash reserve ratio from 5.0% to 8.0% requiring the banks to maintain higher balances with the CBO reducing its effective yield and reduced the lending ratio from 87.5% to 82.5% thereby squeezing the credit volumes in a phased manner starting from Aug’08 hence reducing the funds available to lend. We believe that even though the overall cap arising out of hike in Cash reserve ratio should limit its ability to lend to a limited extent, relaxation in housing loans should help it to keep up the momentum displayed in 2007.
- Based on the current market price of RO0.660 per share (as at 31st Aug 08), BDOF is trading at a 2008E P/E & P/BV multiple of 12.8x & 2.7x and a 2009E P/E and P/BV multiple of 11.5x and 2.5x respectively. Our estimated fair value for this banking scrip works out to RO0.813 per share based on DDM (80%) and adaptation of the Gordon Growth Model (20%). According to our fair value the banking scrip reflects an upside of23.1% on closing price of RO0.660 per share (as at 31st Aug‘08); hence we maintain our earlier “BUY” recommendation on the scrip.
Recent Developments:
- In Jun’08, BDOF board proposed a rights issue of RO70mn in rights issue of shares. However, the same is subject to the shareholders’ and regulatory authority approval. The bank stated that the purpose of capital increase is to fund the its growth needs.

- As a result of US dollar peg, the CBO’s decision to mirror the US fed rate cuts from time to time has forced the banks in Oman to take a hit on the margins. BDOF had posted a decent spread of 4.3% in 2007. The income yield of 7.4% in relation to the commission expense rate of 3.1% resulted in the banking spread of 4.3%. The interest rate scenario is expected to be even more challenging with the US contemplating of further rate cuts and having implemented one in 1Q08 and the CBO mirroring the same.

Outlook & Valuation
- BDOF have performed well in 2007 and increased its lending portfolio by displaying growth in the overseas lending and projects finance/syndicated loans. The government ofOman is continuing with its stated policy of wider and larger participation of the private sector in various spheres of economic activities, which were hitherto in its domain. Consequently, a number of large projects of national importance, requiring considerable sums of investments are being implemented at a rapid pace. BDOF has taken a conscious decision to actively participate in the financing of these projects within its prudentialexposure norms.
- Over the years the bank has participated in several important local projects including the projects of Sohar Refinery LLC, Oman India Fertilizer Company LLC, Sohar Aluminum,Oman LNG, Oman Gas, Salalah Port, Oman Refinery (expansion) and the four power andwater projects. The Bank has increased its participation in respect of cross-border deals within the permitted regulatory ceiling.
- The future unveils various lending opportunities in the infrastructure, oil & gas, construction and tourism sectors taking into account the large government sponsored projects on the anvil as well as those privately sponsored. The 7th Five Year Plan (2005-2010), which is currently in its third year of implementation, envisages a Governmental & Private investment program of RO13.2bn over the 5-year period. Of this, Oil & gas-related investments aggregate RO7.3bn while investment in tourism projects is slated at RO958mn. Investments in other mega-projects and in private sector projects aggregate to RO2.9bn. The state budget for 2008 increased spending on development projects by RO2.4bn to reach a level of RO5.4bn.
- Also, in Jun’08 the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) relaxed of upper cap on housing loans (real estate & project financing) from erstwhile 5% to revised 10% of the total lendingportfolio which we consider as a definite positive factor for the bank.
- However, the CBO raised the Cash reserve ratio from 5% to 8% requiring the banks to maintain higher balances with the CBO reducing its effective yield and reduced the lending ratio from 87.5% to 82.5% thereby squeezing the credit volumes in a phased manner starting from Aug’08 hence reducing the funds available to lend; however the proposed rights issue of RO70mn should provide some liquidity. We believe that even though the overall cap arising out of hike in Cash reserve ratio should limit its ability to lend to a limited extent, relaxation in housing loans should help it to keep up the momentum displayed in 2007.
- Based on the current market price of RO0.660 per share (as at 31st Aug 08), BDOF is trading at a 2008E P/E & P/BV multiple of 12.8x & 2.7x and a 2009E P/E and P/BV multiple of 11.5x and 2.5x respectively.

DDM 0.836 80% 0.669
GGM 0.717 20% 0.143Target Price 0.813Source: Global Research
- Our estimated fair value for this banking scrip works out to RO0.813 per share based on DDM (80%) and adaptation of the Gordon Growth Model (20%). According to our fair value the banking scrip reflects an upside of 23.1% on closing price of RO0.660 pershare (as at 31st Aug‘08); hence we maintain our earlier “BUY” recommendation on the scrip.
