4 Glomac Berhad - SWOT Analysis


4.1

Glomac Berhad - SWOT Analysis - Overview

Glomac is a real estate development company which provides property development, property investment and
management, construction and car park management services. The companys diversified service portfolio, enhanced
financial position and strong operating performance are its major strengths, even as limited liquidity position remains an
area of concern. Going forward, volatile input prices and shortage of skilled labor may impact the companys performance.
However, strategic growth initiatives and positive outlook for Malaysian construction industry are likely to offer new growth
avenues for the company.

4.2

Glomac Berhad - Strengths

Strengths - Diversified business operations


Glomac has well-diversified business operations that mitigate the risks associated with overdependence on single or
select business division for a major share of revenues. The company operates through four divisions: property
development, construction, property investment and others. The property development division develops and sells
residential and commercial properties. It also develops township projects and mixed development projects. The
construction division provides construction contracting services in Malaysia and primarily undertakes residential and
commercial development projects and turnkey projects. The investment division of the company involves in investment of
land and buildings for investment potential and rental income in future. And the Other division of the company provides
property and building management services to residential and commercial projects. It also offers professional and
complete car park management and consultancy services from pre-operations to operations. These divisions accounted
for 83.8%, 12.1%, 1.4% and 2.7% of the companys total revenues, respectively. Presence in these divisions helps the
company avoid overdependence on any particular division, minimizing its business risks. It also helps the company to
serve a diversified customer base and generate higher revenues.
Strengths - Strong liquidity position
Glomac's current ratio was 2.8 at the end of FY2013 significantly higher than 2.2 at the end of the FY2012. Furthermore,
this was higher than its competitors - Gamuda Berhad (Gamuda) and Karambunai Corporation Berhad (Karambunai)
which recorded current ratios of 2.3 and 0.2 respectively. A higher than the competitors' current ratio indicates that the
company is in a stronger financial position than other companies in the industry. At the end of the review year, the
company had total current assets worth MYR940.7 million (an increase of 30.2% over the previous year), with cash and
equivalents worth MYR222.9 million. Therefore, a strong cash and liquidity position provides the company with an
advantage while funding any potential opportunity arising in the market.
Strengths - Strong operating performance
Glomac displayed strong operating performance in FY2013 during which the company recorded revenues of MYR680.93
million, with an annual growth of 4.3% and a CAGR of 18.50% during FY2009-2013. The operating margin of Glomac was
22.5% in FY2013 which was higher than its competitors such as Gamuda and Karambunai which reported operating
margins of 13.2% and 8.2% respectively. In addition, its return on equity (ROE) was 12.8% during the review period,
significantly higher than its competitors such as Gamuda and Karambunai which reported ROEs of 11.0% and -3.5%
respectively. Therefore, strong operating performance against its peer group helps enhance investors confidence and
improve the growth prospects of the company.

4.3

Glomac Berhad - Weaknesses

Weaknesses - Limited financial leverage


Limited financial leverage or solvency position of the company may impact its ability to borrow and repay money, which, in
turn, affects its business operations. The solvency position of Glomac may be limited due to significant debt funding than
equity. The company recorded a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.6 at the end of FY2013 against its competitors such as Gamuda
and AMCORP Properties Berhad (AMCORP) which reported debt-to-equity ratios of 0.5 and 0.3 respectively.
Furthermore, at the end of FY2013, the company recorded a 21.9% increase decrease in debt to MYR506.8 million,
compared with MYR415.68 million at the end of the previous year. Limited solvency position indicates utilization of higher
financial advantage and its comparative weaker equity position, indicating the lower creditworthiness of the company.

4.4

Glomac Berhad - Opportunities

Opportunities - Positive outlook for Malaysian construction industry


Glomac is likely to benefit from the positive outlook in the construction industry in Malaysia. According to in-house
research, the construction industry in Malaysia registered a 25.9% annual growth rate in 2012 and reached a value of
MYR80.9 billion in FY2012. This was primarily due to the growth was supported by the countrys expanding economy and
increased government spending on public infrastructure. Furthermore, the construction industry is expected to value
MYR139.3 billion in 2017 and record a CAGR of 11.48% during 20122017 (forecast period), The residential construction
market was the second-largest construction market in the Malaysian construction industry which accounted for 22.7% of
total construction output and valued MYR18.3 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach a value MYR29.9 billion in 2017
recording a CAGR of 10.29% during the forecast period. In addition, the commercial construction market accounted for
10.7% of total output and valued MYR8.6 billion in 2012. This is expected to record a CAGR of 6.91% over the forecast
period and reach a value of MYR12 billion by 2017. In the same line, Glomac offers property investment and development
services for residential and commercial projects in Malaysia. Therefore, the company may benefit from this growing
market by gaining new contracts in Malaysia and increase its revenues.
Opportunities - Strategic growth initiatives
Glomac is taking various strategic initiatives to drive its business growth. For instance in June 2013, the company
purchased 192 acres of land in Dengkil (Saujana KLIA) for MYR66.8 million. This property will be available to home
buyers who are willing to buy affordable landed units. Furthermore, in February 2013, Glomac through a public auction
acquired 200-acre leasehold parcel next to Bandar Saujana Utama for MYR44.0 million. In FY2013, the company also
acquired Anugerah Armada Sdn Bhd and Magnitud Teknologi Sdn. Bhd, the property development companies. Such
strategic initiatives are expected to align the company's business operations in line with the industry and generate higher
returns.

4.5

Glomac Berhad - Threats

Threats - Volatile input prices


Glomac may face increase in its operational costs, primarily due to increasing volatility in input costs, especially in raw
materials and material components such as steel materials and cement, in various parts of the world. Steel and cement
prices are largely affected by volatile nature of coking coal, iron ore and oil prices. The price of global composite carbon
steel increased from US$ 686 per ton in June 2013 to US$ 716 per ton in December 2013. Furthermore, according to the
US Energy Information Administration, the average crude oil price too have been volatile, increasing from an average US$
94.12 per barrel in 2012 to US$97.91 per barrel in 2013. Volatile input costs hinder effective pricing strategies to secure
and retain business. Moreover, increased costs may reduce margins, affecting the profitability and long-term sustainability
of the company.
Threats - Shortage of skilled labor
The construction sector in Malaysia may face labor shortage, which, in turn, may affect the company's business. The
construction in Malaysia is one of the sectors dependent on cheaply available foreign migrants. To meet the shortfall, the
Malaysian government initiated Amnesty program in June 2011 for legalizing illegal immigrant labors to meet the labor
shortfall. Another challenge for contractors and construction firms is in finding qualified sub-contractors, trained
management and skilled workers to carry out complex project works. Aging workforce is the other concern that may
further intensify the situation. Though Construction Industry Development Board (CIBD) Malaysia had been imparting
training to the construction personnel since 1997, this still might not close the gap between demand and supply. Shortage
of skilled and unskilled labor, especially at home market, may act as a road block to the companys future expansion plan
and ability to execute projects on time.

5 Glomac Berhad - Company Statement


A statement by Mr. Mohamed Mansor Bin Fateh Din, the Chairman of Glomac is given below. The statement has been
taken from the company's 2013 annual report.
Advancing on the momentum gained over the past three years, the Glomac Group once again pulled off a record-breaking
year in FY2013 as net profit increased by 20.1% to breach the MYR100 million mark for the first time. Another record was
achieved in sales as the Group reaped in MYR802 million, and attained an all-time high of MYR888 million in unbilled
sales. This was driven by the success our ongoing projects such as Glomac Damansara, Reflection Residences and the
township developments of Bandar Saujana Utama and Saujana Rawang; as well as the successful launch of key projects
within Lakeside Residences in Puchong. These results are testament to the Groups astuteness in identifying prime land
banks and development concepts. Moving ahead, Glomac is on firm footing for further growth in the upcoming financial
year.
Dividends
On the back of FY 2013s outstanding performance, Glomac Berhad is proud to continue our unblemished dividend paying record since our establishment over a decade ago. On top of that we are proud to maintain our standing as one of
the top dividend paying property developers in Malaysia.
The Board of Directors has proposed a final gross dividend of 3.5 sen per share less 25% tax. Total dividend per share for
the current financial year would amount to 6.5 sen. This is 1 sen higher than what was paid out the previous financial
year.

Operating Environment

In 2012 the Malaysian economy grew by 5.6% (5.1% in 2011), performing better than expected, despite a challenging
global economic environment. Malaysias overall economic growth performance was buttressed by strong domestic
demand driven by both household and business spending. The property market growth was slower compared to 2011, yet
it remained at a record high level in 2012. The moderation in growth in property transactions occurred during the first half
of the year due mainly to Bank Negara Malaysias (BNMs) implementation of Responsible Lending Guidelines, whereby
banks are now required to base their loan approvals on net income instead of gross income. This put the curb on rising
house prices. According to the Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH), national house price index rose 7.2%
during the year to end-Q3 2012 (5.8% inflation-adjusted), the lowest year-on-year increase since Q2 2010.

Improved performance towards the end of the year balanced out growth as the market slowly picked up due to the strong
buying interest among local as well as foreign investors. As a whole, the year recorded 427,520 transactions valued at
MYR142.84 billion in 2012, as compared to 430,403 transactions valued at MYR137.83 billion in 2011. Despite the
moderation in growth, the overall property market remained at a record high level in 2012.

Positive influences that perked up activities and speculation within the market during the period under review included the
construction progress of the Klang Valley MRT and other ETP initiated projects such as Warisan Merdeka Tower, Tun
Razak Exchange (TRX) and Iskandar Malaysia.

The housing sector remained strong despite restrained price increases and caution on oversupply issues with regards to
high-end condominium projects; buoyed by demand for homes within selected locations in Greater KL and Selangor as
well as certain other states. Residential construction was buoyant, with Housing approvals rising 47.4% in 2012 to
235,249 units, according to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. The value of residential construction work
rose 24.9% on the year in Q4, to MYR5.76 billion.

With our balanced mix of affordable township and niche landed properties within the Greater KL area, Glomac was wellpositioned to capitalize on this scenario. Strategically located and, in several cases, set to benefit from proximity to future
MRT and LRT lines, Glomacs projects continued to enjoy strong demand spurring profit to MYR102.3 million in FY2013.

The Group achieved new sales of MYR802 million due largely to healthy take-up rates for launches at Reflection
Residences @ Mutiara Damansara, Glomac Centro in Petaling Jaya as well as Bandar Saujana Utama and Saujana
Rawang. Lakeside Residences in Puchong, the Groups new MYR2.7 billion flagship development, also attracted
overwhelming response. Leveraging on our reserve of available land bank within the Greater KL area, Glomac is primed
and ready to accelerate our momentum going forward. We anticipate another exciting year ahead with growth
underpinned by the Groups high unbilled sales and planned multiple launches from its strategic land banks.

Prospects

Prolonged weakness in the external environment has affected the overall growth performance of the economy, leading
Bank Negara to revise the overall GDP growth target for Malaysia in 2013 to 4.5% from its earlier target of 5%.However,
while this points to a moderation in growth due to the weak external sector, domestic demand is expected to remain on its
steady growth trajectory and continues to be supported by an accommodative monetary policy.
The first half of 2013 proved to be challenging to developers and property sellers as buyers adopt a wait-and-see
attitude regarding property investments in lieu of the general election. Uncertainties surrounding Bursa Malaysia and the
economy as a whole were also a strong contributing factor. The Banks tighter financing criteria, looming introduction of
Goods and Services Tax (GST) and higher Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) contribute to a cooling down in the market
after a period of rising asking and transacted prices for the past two years. Signs point to a continued rise in the prices of
residential properties albeit at a slower rate possibly in the single digits.

More concrete positive developments which continue to sustain the market through 2013, include mega infrastructure
projects such as the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and also the newly announced high speed rail project, linking Kuala
Lumpur to Singapore. Developments in the Iskandar Region and the East Coast Economic Region are also positive for
the property market and the economy in general.
Townships and landed homes remain favorable due to sustained demand from locals. Those positioned near the MRT
lines continue to be identified as excellent investment choices; given the increasingly heavy traffic situation in Greater KL.
Therefore, moving forward, Glomac is well positioned to continue on a growth trajectory with our balanced mix of ideally
located, affordable products within the Greater KL area. The outstanding launch of Lakeside Residences denotes that we
have hit on the right conceptualisation in our project mix. Lakeside Residences has become a part of Puchongs thriving
commercial hub, and the guarded development will also benefit from the LRT (light rail transit) extension line which starts
from the Sri Petaling station and passes through Kinrara, Puchong and ends at Putra Heights. The extension is scheduled
for completion in 2014.
The Groups earnings growth will come from its record unbilled sales of MYR888 million, alongside its pipeline of
development projects with a total available GDV of about MYR7 billion to capture strong demand in landed property. In
the coming financial year, a total MYR1.3 billion worth of projects have already been identified to cater to the strong
demand for landed residential units at selected locations in Greater KL priced at MYR1 million and below.
This includes the development of a new 230-acre township in Saujana KLIA earmarked for launch in 2014. Expected to
contribute a GDV of MYR1.2 billion, this township will cater to home buyers looking for affordable alternatives to the
double-storey homes currently available in the vicinity.
Glomac will also build on the success of Bandar Saujana Utama with the future launch of Saujana Utama 4 a 200-acre
development land bank adjacent to Saujana Utama. This is expected to generate potential GDV of MYR800 million. The
Group anticipates that in the next two years, 60% to 65% of Group sales will come from residential units and 35% to 40%
from commercial units.
Corporate Social Responsibility

As our presence widens so to will our contribution to the social well-being of the communities we serve. The Group is
cognizant of the need to continuously bolster our growth as a socially responsible company, by broadening our CSR
scope by synergizing our business strategies and focus on stakeholder sustainability. The core of our commitment to CSR
is based on the thrusts of building homes and communities that enrich the lifestyles of our customers, practicing good
corporate governance and investor relations, caring for the development and well-being of our employees within a safe
and nurturing workplace, implementing environmentally sustainable practices and processes, and enriching the lives of
the local communities through continued support of charitable programs and activities.

10.2 Ratio Definitions

Capital Market Ratios

Price/Earnings Ratio (P/E)

Capital Market Ratios measure investor response to owning a company's stock and also
the cost of issuing stock.

Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual
income earned per share. It is a financial ratio used for valuation: a higher P/E ratio
means that investors are paying more for each unit of income, so the stock is more
expensive compared to one with lower P/E ratio. A high P/E suggests that investors are
expecting higher earnings growth in the future compared to companies with a lower P/E.
Price per share is as of previous business close, and EPS is from latest annual report.
Formula: Price per Share / Earnings per Share

Enterprise Value/Earnings
before Interest, Tax,
Depreciation &
Amortization (EV/EBITDA)

Enterprise Value/EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) is a valuation multiple that is often used in parallel


with, or as an alternative to, the P/E ratio. The main advantage of EV/EBITDA over the PE
ratio is that it is unaffected by a company's capital structure. It compares the value of a
business, free of debt, to earnings before interest. Price per share is as of previous
business close, and shares outstanding last reported. Other items are from latest annual
report.
Formula: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / (Net
Income + Interest + Tax + Depreciation + Amortization)

Enterprise Value/Sales

Enterprise Value/Sales (EV/Sales) is a ratio that provides an idea of how much it costs to
buy the company's sales. EV/Sales is seen as more accurate than Price/Sales because
market capitalization does not take into account the amount of debt a company has, which
needs to be paid back at some point. Price per share is as of previous business close,
and shares outstanding last reported. Other items are from latest annual report.
Formula: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / Sales

Enterprise
Value/Operating Profit

Enterprise Value/Operating Profit measures the company's enterprise value to the


operating profit. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding
last reported. Other items are from latest annual report.
Formula: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / Operating
Income

Enterprise Value/Total
Assets

Enterprise Value/Total Assets measures the company's enterprise value to the total
assets. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding last
reported. Other items are from latest annual report.
Formula: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash & Cash Equivalents) / Total
Assets

Dividend Yield

Dividend Yield shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its
share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on
investment for a stock.
Formula: Annual Dividend per Share / Price per Share

Equity Ratios

Earnings per Share (EPS)

These ratios are based on per share value.

Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each
outstanding share of common stock. EPS serves as an indicator of a company's
profitability.
Formula: Net Income / Weighted Average Shares

Dividend per Share

Dividend Cover

Dividend is the distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of


directors, to a class of its shareholders.

Dividend cover is the ratio of company's earnings (net income) over the dividend paid to
shareholders.
Formula: Earnings per share / Dividend per share

Book Value per Share

Book Value per Share measure used by owners of common shares in a firm to determine
the level of safety associated with each individual share after all debts are paid
accordingly.
Formula: (Shareholders Equity - Preferred Equity) / Outstanding Shares

Cash Value per Share

Cash Value per Share is a measure of a company's cash (cash & equivalents on the
balance sheet) that is determined by dividing cash & equivalents by the total shares
outstanding.
Formula: Cash & equivalents / Outstanding Shares

Profitability Ratios

Gross Margin

Profitability Ratios are used to assess a company's ability to generate earnings, based on
revenues generated or resources used. For most of these ratios, having a higher value
relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a previous period is indicative that
the company is doing well.

Gross margin is the amount of contribution to the business enterprise, after paying for
direct-fixed and direct variable unit costs.
Formula: {(Revenue-Cost of revenue) / Revenue}*100

Operating Margin

Operating Margin is a ratio used to measure a company's pricing strategy and operating
efficiency.
Formula: (Operating Income / Revenues) *100

Net Profit Margin

Net Profit Margin is the ratio of net profits to revenues for a company or business segment
- that shows how much of each dollar earned by the company is translated into profits.
Formula: (Net Profit / Revenues) *100

Profit Markup

Profit Markup measures the company's gross profitability, as compared to the cost of
revenue.
Formula: Gross Income / Cost of Revenue

Formula: {Income Before Tax / Revenues} *100

Return on Equity

equity) of the common stock owners.
Formula: (Net Income / Shareholders Equity)*100

Return on Capital
Employed

Return on Capital Employed is a ratio that indicates the efficiency and profitability of a
company's capital investments. ROCE should always be higher than the rate at which the
company borrows; otherwise any increase in borrowing will reduce shareholders'
earnings.
Formula: EBIT / (Total Assets Current Liabilities)*100

Return on Assets

Return on Assets is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets,
the ratio measures how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings.
Formula: (Net Income / Total Assets)*100

plant & equipment).
Formula: (Net Income / Fixed Assets) *100

Return on Working Capital

Return on Working Capital measures the company's profitability to its working capital.
Formula: (Net Income / Working Capital) *100

Cost Ratios

Operating costs (% of
Sales)

Cost ratios help to understand the costs the company is incurring as a percentage of
sales.

Operating costs as percentage of total revenues measures the operating costs that a
company incurs compared to the revenues.
Formula: (Operating Expenses / Revenues) *100

Administration costs as percentage of total revenue measures the selling, general and
Administration costs (% of
administrative expenses that a company incurs compared to the revenues.
Sales)
Formula: (Administrative Expenses / Revenues) *100
Interest costs (% of Sales)

Interest costs as percentage of total revenues measures the interest expense that a
company incurs compared to the revenues.
Formula: (Interest Expenses / Revenues) *100

Leverage Ratios

Debt to Equity Ratio

Leverage ratios are used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of
the company's methods of financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations.
There are several different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt, equity,
assets and interest expenses.

Debt to Equity Ratio is a measure of a company's financial leverage. The debt/equity ratio
also depends on the industry in which the company operates. For example, capitalintensive industries tend to have a higher debt equity ratio.
Formula: Total Liabilities / Shareholders Equity

Debt to Capital Ratio

Debt to capital ratio gives an idea of a company's financial structure, or how it is financing
its operations, along with some insight into its financial strength. The higher the debt-tocapital ratio, the more debt the company has compared to its equity. This indicates to
investors whether a company is more prone to using debt financing or equity financing. A

company with high debt-to-capital ratios, compared to a general or industry average, may
show weak financial strength because the cost of these debts may weigh on the company
and increase its default risk.
Formula: {Total Debt / (Total assets - Current Liabilities)}
Interest Coverage Ratio

Interest Coverage Ratio is used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on
outstanding debt, calculated as earnings before interest & tax by interest expense.
Formula: EBIT / Interest Expense

Liquidity Ratios

Current Ratio

Liquidity ratios are used to determine a company's ability to pay off its short-terms debts
obligations. Generally, the higher the value of the ratio, the larger the margin of safety that
the company possesses to cover short-term debts. A company's ability to turn short-term
assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance when creditors are seeking
payment. Bankruptcy analysts and mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios
to determine whether a company will be able to continue as a going concern.

Current Ratio measures a company's ability to pay its short-term obligations. The ratio
gives an idea of the company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities (debt and
payables) with its short-term assets (cash, inventory, receivables). The higher the current
ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations. A ratio under 1 suggests
that the company would be unable to pay off its obligations if they came due at that point.
Formula: Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio

Quick ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most
liquid assets.
Formula: (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Cash Ratio

Cash ratio is the most stringent and conservative of the three short-term liquidity ratio. It
only looks at the most liquid short-term assets of the company, which are those that can
be most easily used to pay off current obligations. It also ignores inventory and
receivables, as there are no assurances that these two accounts can be converted to
cash in a timely matter to meet current liabilities.
Formula: {(Cash & Bank Balance + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities)}

Efficiency Ratios

Fixed Asset Turnover

Efficiency ratios measure a company's effectiveness in various areas of its operations,


essentially looking at maximizing its use of resources.

Fixed Asset Turnover ratio indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to
generate sales. A higher ratio indicates the business has less money tied up in fixed
assets for each currency unit of sales revenue. A declining ratio may indicate that the
business is over-invested in plant, equipment, or other fixed assets.
Formula: Net Sales / Fixed Assets

Asset Turnover

Asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a company's use of its assets in
generating sales revenue to the company. A higher asset turnover ratio shows that the
company has been more effective in using its assets to generate revenues.
Formula: Net Sales / Total Assets

Current Asset Turnover

Current Asset Turnover indicates how efficiently the business uses its current assets to
generate sales.
Formula: Net Sales / Current Assets

Inventory Turnover

Inventory Turnover ratio shows how many times a company's inventory is sold and
replaced over a period. A low turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess
inventory. A high ratio implies either strong sales or ineffective buying.
Formula: Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory

Working Capital Turnover

Working Capital Turnover is a measurement to compare the depletion of working capital


to the generation of sales. This provides some useful information as to how effectively a
company is using its working capital to generate sales.

Capital Employed
Turnover

Capital employed turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a company's use of its equity
in generating sales revenue to the company.
Formula: Net Sales / Shareholders Equity

Capex to sales

Capex to Sales ratio measures the company's expenditure (investments) on fixed and
related assets' effectiveness when compared to the sales generated.
Formula: (Capital Expenditure / Sales) *100

Net income per Employee

Net income per Employee looks at a company's net income in relation to the number of
employees they have. Ideally, a company wants a higher profit per employee possible, as
it denotes higher productivity.
Formula: Net Income / No. of Employees

Revenue per Employee

Revenue per Employee measures the average revenue generated per employee of a
company. This ratio is most useful when compared against other companies in the same
industry. Generally, a company seeks the highest revenue per employee.
Formula: Revenue / No. of Employees

Efficiency Ratio

Efficiency Ratio is used to calculate a bank's efficiency. An increase means the company
is losing a larger percentage of its income to expenses. If the efficiency ratio is getting
lower, it is good for the bank and its shareholders.
Formula: Non-interest expense / Total Interest Income
