Bouncing back from the Cypriot financial crisis in 2012-2013, BOCH has and continues to transform itself back to being a high-quality national banking champion. This journey back has included a successful asset quality clean up (with NPL levels today <2% and a 60% reduction in REMU, its forclosed real estate unit) and strong cost efficiency improvements (to 35-40% cost income levels after big cuts to both branches and FTE). Since those darker crisis days, BOCH has also rid itself of almost all Russian-related exposures and seen the exit of the Cypriot Government as a shareholder in November 2024. The recovery story is similar to that of the Greek banks but with less investor attention. The reintroduction of Bank of Cyprus trading on the Athens Stock Exchange in Sept 2024 (after being listed for 7 years on the LSE) is viewed as a positive for its profile and liquidity.

BOCH has the right skillset to deliver outperforming ROE's and strong capital generation that can support generous capital management (50-70% payout => 10% cap mgt yield). The key pillars for this include a strong deposit franchise (50% loan to deposit ratio) and a lower risk loan portfolio (NPL <2%, 30- 40 bps cost of risk charges). Beneath this sits a solid non-interest income base (insurance and other financial services), which covers half of their operating expenses. Loan growth is the last key lever for value compounding, having returned to growth mode in 2024 and is now expected to expand at a level comparable to GDP growth in the coming years.

Still delivering strong ROE's in a more normalised interest rate environment

BOCH is well positioned to deliver >15% ROE in the face of levelling off reference interest rates in Europe (lower ECB repo and EURIBOR rates).

On track to be a consistent >10% yielding capital management stock

Leveraging an excess capital starting point (>19.5% CET1 ratio, ~8% MDA buffer) and high annual capital generation, BOCH is set via its 50-70% capital payout policy to be one of the best-yielding financials in Europe for the foreseeable future. Until its valuation is materially re-rated, the capital management yield (dividend + buyback) will likely remain attractively above 10%.

Cyprus's de facto two-state country brings a very unique geopolitical risk exposure to the table. Cyprus is divided between the south of the island (a member of the EU and Greek Cypriot-controlled) and the northern part, which is only officially recognised by Turkey. Their separation dates back to 1974 when Turkey invaded the North of Cyprus to help stop a Greek-backed coup attempt to unite Cyprus with Greece. There exists a UN-monitored buffer zone separating the two states, and reunification talks over the years have all proven unsuccessful. Internationally, Cyprus is in the interesting position of being a non-NATO EU country.

Cyprus's economy is in a healthier position then the other Southern periphery Europe countries (on par with Ireland) as evidenced by the numbers: its debt to GDP level is 65%: it generates higher GDP growth (~3% vs. Eurozone 1%): it operates with a fiscal surplus: its unemployment level is below the EU average at 5%: it has a A- sovereign debt rating. The Cypriot economy is mostly service oriented, with tourism an especially important industry contributing 10-15% of GDP.

BOCH's funding is in very good shape with a loan-to-deposit ratio of ~50% (one of the lowest in Europe), and their net stable funding ratio was >160% at YE24. 90% of their funding is deposit-based, and of this, 2/3 are attractive savings, current, and demand deposits (which is why the cost of deposits is <35bps). The bank has no further ECB TLTRO funding outstanding, having repaid this in 1H24.

BOCH is very open about its gearing to higher interest rates and how important these are to revenue levels. Forward year forecasts of lower net interest income factor in declining ECB deposit rates (to 2% by YE 2025 and lower in 2026). BOCH has reduced some of their sensitivity to ECB/EURIBOR rates via hedging. Higher European sovereign bond yields would be helpful, given that 20% of their assets are in fixed-income securities. Their strong deposit franchise can also help them defend their NIM as it leans towards lower-cost CASA deposits.

Cyprus suffered a financial crisis in 2012-2013, triggered by the banking system's overexposure to writedowns related to its outsized Greek bond holdings. This triggered both a bailout (by the IMF and EU) and a bail-in, where 50% of the bank's uninsured deposits (>EUR 100k) were converted into equity. This bail-in was viewed as controversial vs taxpayer-led bailouts. In exchange for these interventions, BOCH was forced to take over failing Laiki Bank in a transaction that resulted in the Cypriot Government becoming a shareholder of BOCH. It was not until November of 2024 that the Government completed the divestment of their holding in BOCH.

BOCH has limited material exposure today to Russia - after this was mostly wound down following the 2012-2013 Cypriot banking crisis bailout/bailin. Before this, Cyprus's banking market was a popular destination for Russian oligarch capital flows/deposits due to its favourable tax laws and financial secrecy. In terms of divesting from their Russian exposure, BOCH sold off its Russian subsidiary to a Russian financial group in 2015 and its Ukrainian subsidiary to Alpha Bank in 2014. Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovev sold off his stake in BOCH in 2015, and much of their Russian loan exposure has been sold off via NPL sales.
