- Global value-oriented investment vehicle that seeks to invest in a
concentrated porAolio of high-quality publicly traded businesses

Investment Idea – Banrisul SA
- Regional retail bank in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul
– Founded in 1928 to serve the needs of the residents of the state – Largest bank in the state by share of deposits and retail network size – Dominant posiFon in payroll lending and working capital financing for SMEs – ConservaFvely financed and well capitalized
- Selling at a significant discount to the underlying private market value
- Wonderful business at a fair price OR fair business at a wonderful price?
– Picking a second-rate business in the banking arena makes as much sense as picking a second-rate parachute – Paying a fair price produces an acceptable return, but paying a wonderful price is what really makes the cash register sing
Banrisul – Good Price
- AgracFvely priced even on current-period financial metrics, which are
depressed due to a historic economic slump in the company’s core markets: – Price of R$11 vs. Book value of R$17 = selling for 0.65X BV
- Banrisul’s historical valuaFons ranged from 1.5X BV to 2X BV
- Brazilian peers are currently trading at 1.6X BV
- Recent buyouts in the Brazilian banking space took place at a premium to book value
even for second-rate banking insFtuFons
– Price of R$11 vs. EPS R$2.00 = PE of 5.5X NFY – Dividend of R$0.80 vs. R$11 Price = 7% Dividend Yield
- Even more agracFve on a normalized basis:
– Price of R$11 vs. EPS of ~R$3.00 = PE of 3.7X normalized EPS (based on 10-year average ROA) – Dividend of R$1.20 vs. R$11 Price = 11% Dividend Yield
Banrisul – Good Business
- Strong compeFFve posiFon
– The most dominant consumer banking franchise in Rio Grande do Sul by virtue of its reach and reputaFon – Boasts the largest share of deposits in the state at 47% and the largest deposit-gathering network in the state reaching 99% of the populaFon – Reach and reputaFon result in deposit cost that is 20% lower than that of the compeFFon, which represent a significant barrier to entry – Complements the low-cost finding advantage with conservaFve underwriFng pracFces in
- rder to generate low-risk growth
- Well-diversified loan porAolio with a roughly 60/40 split between lending to consumers and
businesses
- Bulk of consumer loans (3/4) are structured on a “payroll deducFon” basis to government employees
- Bulk of business loans (3/4) represent working capital lending in which the bank has decades of
experFse
- Banrisul’s 10-year loan loss raFo stands at 3.0% vs. 4.5% for the bank’s peers signaling solid credit
quality
– As a result, Banrisul produces enviable performance over the past five years despite significant headwinds faced by the Brazilian economy in 2014 and 2015
- NIM = 8% vs. 3% industry average, ROA = 1.7% vs. 0.5% industry average, ROE = 17% vs. 6% industry
average
– Examining the history of mulFple banking franchises across the globe reveals enduring leadership longevity – provided management sFcks to its kniqng
Banrisul – Good Business
- Growth potenFal
– Grew book value at 20% per annum over the past 10 years – Going forward growth is desFned to be slower, but sFll likely to be very good…
- Brazil’s banking services penetraFon is about 1/3 of the developed
markets’ penetraFon, suggesFng a long growth runway
- Banrisul is developing addiFonal income streams to complement its core
banking offerings: payment processing, insurance, asset management, bank cards
- The complementary income streams are growing at a 25% rate
Banrisul – Good Business
- Solid financial condiFon
– ConservaFvely capitalized with Basel III raFo of 17%, more than double the global regulatory requirement of 8% – Stable funding profile with Loan-to-Deposit raFo of less than 80%, almost twice as good as the rest of the Brazilian banking sector
- Above average returns on equity
– Historically generated 15-20% ROEs despite a highly conservaFve Basel III raFo and a highly conservaFve loan-to-deposit raFo
Banrisul – Good Management
- Operator skills (Grade: A)
– Long-term track record of growing book value at high rates in a low risk manner – Grew book value nearly 6-fold over the past 10 years while keeping loan loss raFo 35% below industry average – Delivered on promises of operaFonal improvements following the privaFzaFon in 2007
- Cost/Income raFo improved from 62% to less than 50% (vs.~ 50% for the peers)
- Fee income as a % total income improved from 25% to 29% (vs. ~30% for the peers)
- Capital allocator skills (Grade: A)
– The bulk of the free cash flows is returned to shareholders via generous dividends – Banrisul’s by-laws specify a minimum payout of 25%, yet the bank historically paid out 40% of earnings – Over the past five years Banrisul returned to the shareholders nearly 40% of the current stock price
Banrisul – Risks
- Currency risk
– Operates in a highly dollarized economy – Local currency depreciaFon leads to higher inflaFon, which eventually lius banking assets to the pre-depreciaFon USD equivalent (while also widening NIMs in the meanFme) – Net long-term impact is nil
- PoliFcal risk
– Majority-controlled by the government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, but… – LegislaFvely prohibited from lending to the government and its enFFes – Public sector funding consFtutes less than 1% of total loans – Track record of treaFng minority shareholders well as evidenced by superior profitability and willingness to share these economics with the minority shareholders – Exclusive payroll management contract non-renewal with the state is a potenFal risk, but not for another 10 years
Banrisul – Conclusion
- Simple high-quality business in an industry with a long-term track record
- f success conFnuity...
- Management team willing to generously share the spoils with the
shareholders…
- Cigar-bug like price…
- Risks exist, but are easily absorbed by an enormous margin of safety
implied by the significantly undervalued equity…
- Therefore we should do well as investors in Banrisul even if some of the
