MTC is less pressured than market forces.

KGI Securities (Thailand) Assessment after the Office of the Consumer Protection Board or OCPB is in the process of finding a conclusion about setting the interest rate ceiling on leasing loans. which is a matter of debate for a long time Attempts have been made to impose a ceiling on leasing/leasing interest for a very long time and the process has been. back to consideration after the end of the procedure Listening to opinions from entrepreneurs

Operators offer a ceiling of 30%, but regulators will set a ceiling of 26%, regardless of the final interest ceiling. The new interest rate will change the market mechanism of H/P business. especially companies in the small motorcycle leasing group But it will affect the leasing business for new or used cars is not much. because the current interest rate is lower than 26% The setting of the interest ceiling will affect SAWAD but not MTC because motorcycle leasing operators such as TK, S-11, S-cap (subsidiaries of SAWAD) charge motorcycle loans higher than 30%. much more As for SAWAD, there is a plan to accelerate this business expansion. to drive long-term growth It will focus on expanding this group of loans rather than the growth rate of registered mortgage loans. SAWAD extended this group of loans by setting an initial interest rate of 30%. However, MTC extended the motorcycle loan by charging interest only 20-24%, which is lower than the rate that the unit Regulatory work suggests, so companies are less pressured on this issue than market forces. and business competition conditions will change

KGI Securities considers the performance of the leasing company. It is found that the current loan yield is around 30% plus or minus, and if you combine income, fees and other income, it will be much higher. cost of each company (including operating expenses, finance costs, provisions) as a percentage per loan It was found that credit cost was the highest proportion of expenses at about 15% of loans, as can be seen from TK and S11 in while the ratio of operating expenses/credit has different highs and lows. Leasing-only stocks will turn to losses, while SAWAD margins will be low but MTC will not be affected.

Nonbank group affected

Kasikorn Securities Public Company Limited stated that the weight of the meeting OCPB to the case of motorcycle hire purchase interest ceiling Entrepreneurs have asked for 30% while the working group of the OCPB wants to press the ceiling on the first-hand motorcycle interest at 20% per year. Assessing that this will affect only companies that provide motorcycle leasing, such as Srisawad Corporation Public Company Limited or SAWAD because There is approximately 17% of the motorcycle leasing portfolio in 2022, while Muang Thai Capital Public Company Limited (MTC) has only 5%.

Kasikorn Research Center Nonbanks are expected to be affected by signs of a policy rate hike in the second half of 2022 after the June 15 Fed meeting saw interest rates rise to 0.75% and Thai inflation remained high. With the direction of the domestic policy interest rate entering an uptrend during the rest of this year May reiterate the picture of non-bank financial costs that have risen significantly since the beginning of 2022.

especially companies that raised new capital through issuing debentures to support business expansion and redemption of existing debentures. Although the impact of the interest rate hike on the hire purchase business on the financial cost of the commercial bank operators will still be raised not much as interest rates on deposits remained at a low level. There is also an extension of the time to reduce the contribution to the FIDF at the rate of 0.23% per annum until the end of 2022.

Asia Plus Securities Company Limited I think that the large non-bank groups are starting to become interesting. After the price continued to decline from concerns about rising interest rates see that the impact is still in a limited range this year Because the operator has already locked interest costs. by issuing debentures at the beginning of last year It is expected that it will have a big impact in 2023 after the interest rate hike in the second half of 2022, and assess the impact of the interest rate hike on the nonbank group. In the event that the interest rate increases every 0.25%, it will affect the net profit of the nonbank group on average 1%. For example, SAWAD affects the least 0.5%, TIDLOR affects 1.1%, MTC affects profit 1.25%.
