Executive Summary
The purpose of the report is to show the analysis on Eastern Bank Limited and United
commercial Bank Limited by using several ratios such as profitability ratios, market position
ratios, leverage ratios, liquidity ratios, Credit Ratings, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) etc. has
been done in this project. Both time series, and cross sectional analysis had been done to
determine the performance of the banks for the years 2010 to 2014. Data had been primarily
collected from the annual reports of Eastern Bank Limited and United commercial Bank Limited.
Certain items such as share price were found out from the DSE General Index for Share Prices
from 2010-2014. Moreover, the overview and background of both the banks are also included in
the report. Finally, we conclude with some recommendations and the bibliography. An appendix
is provided which provides a breakdown of the calculation and sources used on which we have
based our research on.
The report has been prepared by the members of the group as a group project for the Bank
Management (FIN 464) course in North South University, as per the instruction of honourable
faculty member, Ms. Trisha Ahmed. The deadline for submission of this report was on 20th
August 2015.

Limitations
We have tried our best to provide the most up to date and accurate information about the banks in
this report but there were few limitations. Because of these limitations we were unable to present
the report to the level of accuracy which we wanted to obtain. The limitations were:
The information that we have used in this report were gathered from secondary source which
included financial statements of the bank from 2010-2014 and also information provided from
the banks websites.
Some financial terms that Bank used in its financial report doesnt match with our knowledge
from the course, so in calculating ratios and risks some mistakes might have occurred which we
are unaware of.
We were unable to calculate ratios which measures such as interest risk, price risk and etc. as
adequate information was not provided in the annual reports of the banks.
One of the major flaws is that the Ratio Analysis does not take macroeconomic factors into
account, of the particular country or nation.
Introduction

The banking industry of Bangladesh is considered as one it of the most fruitful industries as the
returns that are derived from the banking industry seem to be quite high. However, the banks are
very highly leveraged and have, associated with them several form of risk investors and internal
managers of the banks should be well aware of in order to determine the potentials and
performance of each of the banks.
Bangladesh Government owned, controlled and directed financial system with the purpose of
allocating funds to priority sectors until the early 1980s. Bangladesh had virtually no private
banking and role of the private sector was considered secondary. In the early 1980s, the
Government began to reform the financial sector. This step initiated the change in our banking
sector. With time this private banking sector revolved and became one of the most successful
private sectors of our country. Bangladesh Bank has created a favorable environment for the
private banking sector, which attracts many investors to invest in the financial market.
Bangladesh has been doing very well in private sectors in recent years. Previously only
government banks were here to serve the financial needs of consumers, but now varieties of
services are offered by commercial banks which were not possible before. Financial assistance is
very necessary to develop all the sectors of a country. Central bank boosts commercial banks to
finance more and more in the agricultural sectors, pharmaceuticals sectors. Government puts
pressure on these banks to provide loans to SMEs and individuals.
Rules and regulations are implemented by the Government for the safety of the public funds, to
ensure accountability of the banks and to help the public by providing various types of financial
services.

Net profit margin is the percentage of revenue remaining after all operating expenses, interest,
taxes and preferred stock dividends (but not common stock dividends) have been deducted from
a company's total revenue.
Time series analysis
UCBL: The Net profit margin of UCBL was highest in the year 2011. But over the years, the
margin has significantly decreased. Among the years the lowest net profit margin was the lowest
among the years. This is because in the year 2012 the net profit after tax became half (from 2500
million to 1500 million).
EBL: As we can see that the net profit margin had a sudden rise in the year in 2012 and 2013 but
in 2014 the margin went down. The main reason of the sudden decrease in the margin is because
the net profit after tax did no increase as of the total asset.
Cross sectional analysis
If we look at the net profit margins of UCBL and EBL over the last four years, we can see that
the net profit margin of the two banks have drastically changed over the years. Overall the net
profit margin of UCBL is more stable than that of the net profit margin of EBL. The reason for
having a relatively stable is because the net profit after margin and the total asset had the closer
ratio whereas EBLs asset to net profit ratio was unstable.

The asset utilization ratio calculates the total revenue earned for every dollar of assets a company
owns. This ratio is frequently used to compare a company's efficiency over time
Time series analysis
UCBL: The asset utilization ratio of UCBL tells us that every Bangladeshi Taka spent made them
to generate on an average of 5.7 BDT worth of revenue.
EBL: The asset utilization of EBL over the last four years shows us that in 2012 and 2013 the
asset utilization dramatically decreased. The ratio tells us the inefficiency of generating revenue.
Cross sectional analysis
IF we compare the latest ratios of the two banks we will find that the asset utilization of EBL is
far better than that of UCBL. But if we look at the performance of UCBL we will find that their
asset utilization is more stable than EBL

A ratio that shows the efficiency of a company's management by comparing operating expense to net
sales
Time Series Analysis:
14 | P a g e
UCBL: Here the operating expense of UCBL is nearly 40% of the net sales for the last four
years. Though we can see that the trend is stable it indicates that the operating expense has been
fairly stable.
EBL: The operating efficiency ratio has drastically shifting for the last four years. For the year
2011, the ratio was pretty low (28%), But in 2012 and 2013, the ratio increased over 70%.
Meaning that at that period of time, their operating expense decreased heavily. But it increased
again in the last year 2014.
Cross sectional analysis
Here the operating efficiency of UCBL is shows more stability. On the other hand even though in
2012 and 2013 the efficiency was high for EBL, the recent record shows less efficiency in terms
of handling operating expenses. The trend shows that EBL is less efficient in terms of handling
the operating expenses.

The Price-to-Earnings Ratio or P/E ratio is a ratio for valuing a company that measures its
current share price relative to its per-share earnings
Time Series Analysis
15 | P a g e
UCBL: The P/E Ratio of UCBL was 12 in the year 2011 and 2012. But in the year 2013 and
2014, the ratio dropped. It is because the market price of the share of UCBL decreased.
EBL: The P/E Ratio of EBL was 11 in the year 2011. But over the next two years the ratio
dropped over 3 points. This might be a result of a decreasing market price of the shares of EBL

It is the ratio measured to find out the proportion of debt against assets owned (total liabilities
divided by total debt).
Time series:
UCBL: between 2011 to 2012 and 2013 to 2014. UCBL experienced ups and downs in its ratio.
Both the total assets and total liabilities increased from 2011 to 2012.
EBL: the ratio from 2012 to 2014 remained somewhat constant despite increases in both current
Assets and liabilities. This could be due to the increase rate of assets being somewhat close to
liabilites.

Ratio measured to find out the proportion of debt against the equity.
Time series:
UCBL had an increasing trend from 2011 to 2012, dropped to 10.03 in 2013 then again had a
bigger rise of 10.80 in 2014. Both liability and equity capital had rise from 2011 to 2014. The
liability rise is comparatively higher
EBL had a rise in its trend but the rate is lower. Yet again the difference in the rise between
liabilities and equity capital could be the reason.
Cross sectional:
EBL seems better than UCBL in it. However, both banks should try to reduce their liabilities
(Except reducing borrowings) or invest in more shares for increased owner capital.
Interest Coverage Ratio:
It is a ratio measured to find out the interest that could cover the interest payments by the banks
for borrowings based on the initial earnings. (EBIT/Interest expense).

figure appeared in 2014. On the other hand, EBL had a really good figure in 2013 compared to
other years.
Cross sectional: EBL seems better compared to UCBL in terms of interest coverage. UCBL
should generate more raw earnings (EBIT) such as by providing more loan services.

The book-to-market ratio attempts to identify undervalued or overvalued securities by taking the
book value and dividing it by market value.
UCBL: United Commercial Bank doesnt have any market to book value ratio as the data for
book value per share is not available.
EBL: Eastern Banks MB ratio has fallen by huge margin i.e. from 6.58 in 2011 to 2.72 in 2014
which is an indication that market perception about EBL might have been negatively impacted.
The more the ratio falls the worse it is for EBL.
19 | P a g e
CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: UCBL doesnt have any MB ratio. EBL can improve on their
ratio by changing the perception of the market. They can take steps in increasing their share
price.

This ratio shows how easily a bank can meet its immediate cash need. It shows how liquid a
bank is in terms of cash, as it acts as the primary reserve of a bank.
UCBL: In 2011the cash position indicator was 0.015 which is very low & it went further down
in 2012. The ratio somehow revived to its previous position by 2014. More cash in hand implies
bank is sound in terms of liquidity position. The reason behind the sharp decrease in the year
2012 was because it was holding more cash compared to total assets.
EBL: The indicator shows that the ratio was 0.041 in 211 & went up to 0.0659 in the year 2012
but by 2014 it was slightly higher than 2011.
CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: It can be said that EBL is in a better position than UCBL is.
EBL is managing its liquidity position more efficiently.

This ratio shows the proportion of the banks total asset is Net Loan and Leases. This is
negatively correlated to the banks liquidity position as Loans and Leases are the most illiquid
asset
UCBL: Capacity ratio affects the liquidity position of a bank. In 2011 the ratio was 0.088 &
increased in 2012 i.e. 0.098 & 0.099 in 2013 & 0.082 in 2014. This figure indicates that the ratio
was not in a good state in the year 2012-2013. The management was not efficiently controlling
but it showed improvement in 2014 which is far better than 2011.
EBL: compared to the year 2011, 2014s ratio was much better. In between 2012-2013 they
managed liquidity position better. But overall they improved their efficiency.
CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: From the data & the graph it is evident that EBL is better
than UCBL in liquidity position. The lower the ratio the better it is for a bank. This also indicates
that their total asset proportion mostly depends on net loans & leases.

This ratio measures how much of the total asset is invested in government securities.
UCBL: the ratio is in a rising trend over the year. It has gone up from 0.0966 in 2011 to 0.1590
in 2014. This is an indication that more investment are made in risk free government securities.
EBL: EBL ratio is more or less constant over the 4 years that mean they have kept the investment
almost same. But compared to 3 years it was higher in 2013 i.e. 0.136944.
CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: UCBL is in a better position than EBL is which means they
have invested in government securities more. UCBL has reduced significant risk by investing in
risk free assets. In case of liquidity risk UCBL is in a more sound state than EBL is.

This ratio shows how much a financial institution pays out in dividends each year relative to its
share price
UCBL: The organization paid very low dividend in 2011 but as time passed the dividend
increased from 0.0051 in 2011 to 0.0682 in 2014.
EBL: The dividend paid was almost negligible slightly a bit higher than zero & also decreased
over the years.
CROSS SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: UCBL dividend yield ratio is far better than EBL. So it can
be stated that UCBL is in a better position in satisfying its investors. It is also a good sign that
UCBL is incurring more profit, paying out more dividends & reducing their provision for loan
losses.

last years This means that every dollar of common shareholder's equity earned about .10 this year. In
other words, shareholders saw a 10% percent return on their investment.

Measured as the net operating income generated as a proportion of revenue. The higher it is, the
better.
Time series:
UCBL: The expense control was best of all in 2011 and the worst in 2012. However, in 2013 to
2014 it improved a bit. This could be due to operating income was less generated from 2012 to
2014. Expenses increased.
EBL: Relatively Best figures were made in 2012 and 2013. However in 2014, it resulted in a
very low figure.
Cross sectional:
UCBL seems better in the consistent. However for both banks to improve or maintain a standard
figure, they should generate more net income by providing better service or reduce expenses
such as downsizing or borrowing less expensive funds.

This Ratio shows the net operating income generated by the total number of Employees of the
whole bank.
EBL: Employee productivity was the lowest in 2011 and then gradually increased in 2012 until
2014 it remained more or less the same. According to the sources, number of employees
increased from 2011 to 2014 which means the bank was attractive in terms of recruitment. On
the other hand, Net operating income had a tremendous rise from 2011 to 2012 This shows
UCBL was doing better in terms of both service and human resource from 2012 to 2014.
UCBL: Employee Productivity dropped a bit from 2011 to 2012. But then again from 2013 to
2014 it had a rise. Possible reasons could be increase in recruitment for expansion or attractive
job offers and increase in net operating income.
Cross sectional:
EBL was better compared to UCBL in terms of employee productivity. Though EBL recruitment
ranges in the 4 years were lower compared to UCBL, it was doing tremendous in generating net
operating income. Which means EBL was so much better in terms of services while UCBL in
terms of recruitment. (UCBL might be making fast expansions alongside job attractiveness). For
UCBL to improve, it should improve its service hence more net operating income.

UCBL: had a really good figure in its earnings from 2011 to 2014. Highest gross made in 2014.
Cross analysis:
EBL should improve its figure by investing in more non interest sources to capture the UCBLs
record.
Conclusion
If we analyse all the data and ratios, we can see that over the years, UCBLs performance was
more stable and consistent. On the other hand EBL was unable to show any consistency in their
profit earning and cost efficiency. Based on the ratio analysis and the past four years data, we
believe that UCBL has a better chance of surviving in the long run
