1979

Under and by virtue of the National Development Bank of Sri Lank Act No. 2 of 1979 a bank was established with an authorized capital of LKR 2,000 million comprising 20 million ordinary shares of LKR 100.00 each. (which was subsequently subdivided into 200 million ordinary shares of LKR 10.00 each)

1993

61% of the share capital of the National Development Bank of Sri Lanka (NDBSL) was transferred to private ownership through an IPO at LKR 50.00 per share.

1997

NDBSL was privatized further by the early conversion of its convertible debentures, reducing the Governments direct shareholding to 12.2%. A further 2.56% of the issued shares were purchased by NDBSL for an Employees Share Ownership Plan.

2000

A 1:2 bonus issue increased the number of shares in issue to 53,750,000.

2001

As part of its long term plans, NDBSL incorporated a commercial bank under the Companies Act No. 17 of 1982 under the name ‘NDB Bank Limited’ (NBL) to take over the business and operations of ABN Amro NV Colombo Branch.

2005

Pursuant to the provisions of the National Development Bank of Sri Lanka (Consequential Provisions) Act No. 1 of 2005 a company by the name of National Development Bank Limited (NDBL) was incorporated in terms of the Companies Act No. 17 of 1982 (and was accorded with the Registration No. N (PBS) 1252) for the purposes of taking over the business of NDBSL on 15 June 2005 and the National Development Bank of Sri Lanka Act No. 2 of 1979 was repealed except for certain provisions contained therein.

NDBL acquired the business and operations of NBL. In view of this, the shareholders of NBL were issued with shares of NDBL at the ratio of 1 NDBL share for every 5.6 shares of NBL held by them. This resulted in the increase of the issued capital of NDBL to 54,570,257 shares. In order to facilitate this transition, on the date of such acquisition, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka granted a commercial banking license to NDBL whilst withdrawing the specialized banking license that was held by it.

2006

A bonus issue of 1 new share for every 2 shares held increased the issued ordinary share capital of NDBL by 27,285,128 shares.

2007

NDBL was re-registered as National Development Bank PLC (‘Bank’) in terms of the new Companies Act No. 07 of 2007 and accorded with the Registration No. PQ 27.

2010

245,566 ordinary shares were issued to eligible employees as per the Equity Linked Compensation Plan (ELCP) of the Bank, bringing the total number of issued shares to 82,100,951.

2011

Existing ordinary shares were subdivided in the proportion of one new ordinary share for every ordinary share in issue resulting in a total of 164,201,902 ordinary shares in issue.

2013

2. Analysis of Equity Market Performance and NDB Share Performance - 2017

2.1 Performance of Global Equity Markets

During the year, global equity market performed well amidst the revival in economic activities across the world. Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) world index, a proxy for global equity markets, recorded a gain of 20.1% during 2017 in comparison to a 5.3% gain reported for the year 2016. Emerging market equities outperformed the U.S. broader market index S&P500, which represented one quarter of the global equity market capitalization as at December 2017, where both indices recorded a YoY gain of 34.0% and 19.4% respectively for the year.

The equity markets performances across the world were influenced mainly by a three-time rate hike by the Federal Reserve, tapering the Quantitative Easing (QE) program by the European Central Bank and the disputes witnessed in the Middle Eastern region. However, tax reforms proposed by President Trump’s administration was passed in December 2017, which is expected to boost the performance of the U.S. stock market in 2018. Meanwhile, MSCI frontier index, in which Sri Lanka belongs to, performed exceptionally well with a yearly gain of 27.6% in comparison to a loss of 1.3% in 2016.

2.2 Performance of the Colombo Stock Exchange

The benchmark All Share Price Index (ASPI) recorded a 2.3% gain for the year 2017, compared to a loss of 9.6% in 2016. The tracker of blue chip companies’ price movements, S&P SL 20 Index, also ended the year in a growth trajectory displaying a gain of 5.0% as opposed to 3.5% loss reported in year 2016. Along with the improvements in these indices, the market witnessed an improvement in turnover mainly driven by foreign investor participation. This resulted in a daily average turnover of LKR 915 million during the year, which is a 24.0% YoY increase. Year 2017 witnessed the largest transaction in the last five years’ worth of LKR 10.9 billion on Singer PLC. Net foreign inflow to the Colombo bourse during 2017 surpassed LKR 17.6 billion in comparison to a bleak LKR 384 million recorded a year ago. Renewed foreigners interest in the CSE during the year 2017 was mainly due to IMF’s extended fund facility programme and resulted macro-economic stability coupled with moderately strong local currency (during the year LKR depreciated 2.0% against the USD in comparison to 3.8% depreciation witnessed in year 2016).

Among these improved conditions, CSE raised a cumulative capital of LKR 3.2 billion via four Initial Public Offerings (IPO) during the year. Furthermore, 17 right issues took place raising LKR 45.0 billion compared to LKR 8.7 billion raised in 2016 through 4 right issues. CSE was trading at an attractive valuation amongst emerging markets, where PER and PBV ended at 10.6X and 1.3X respectively in 2017, which is a decline compared to 2016 where PER and PBV ended at 12.4X and 1.4X respectively.

2.3 Performance of the NDB Share

The NDB share price recorded subdued performance compared to the benchmark ASPI & S&P SL20. The share price declined by 9.3% during the year to close at LKR 136.40 by the end of 2017. During 2017, the share reached a high of LKR 152.40 (in May 2017) and a low of LKR 126.90 (in October 2017). A subdued level of activity was seen in NDB share with annual volumes traded during 2017 declining by 30%. During October, a significant level of foreign sales in NDB share was witnessed which resulted in foreigner shareholding of the share reducing to 14.4% at the end of 2017 from 16.5% at the end of 2016.

Return on Equity

The Return on Shareholder Funds (ROE) at the Bank level was 16.27%, up from 13.36% in 2016. The Bank ROE was closer to the industry average as of 2017. Group ROE was 11.09%, an increase from 9.23% in 2016.


Earnings per Share (EPS)

Earnings per share (EPS) increased in relation to ROE with the EPS at the Bank level being LKR 25.38 (2016: LKR 18.49) and EPS at the Group level being LKR 20.35 (2016: LKR 15.69). The increase in the EPS is noteworthy within the context of an increased share base during 2017 by 6,300,199 new shares issued as a result of the scrip dividend.


Dividends for the Year

The Bank declared an interim dividend of LKR 2.00 per share in November 2017 for the year ending 31 December 2017. In February 2018 the Bank declared a final dividend of LKR 7.00 per share (being a cash dividend of LKR 2.00 per share and scrip dividend of LKR 5.00 per share) for the year ended 31 December 2017. The dividend declared was in line with the internally set policy guidelines.

The Bank continues to be guided by its Board approved Dividend Policy which stipulates minimum requirements as set out below.

Total Shareholder Returns

Total shareholder returns (TSR), as measured with change in share price and dividends received during the year was a negative 6.15% for 2017. The main reason for the negative movement in the TSR was the drop in NDB’s share price from LKR 156/- in end 2016 to LKR 136.40 by end 2017.

Price Earnings Ratio

Price to Book Value

The Price to Book Value (PBV) dropped below 1 for a second consecutive year due to the dual impact of a reduced share price over the year and an increase in the net assets value per share. Accordingly, the PBV ratio was 0.71 times and compares with a PBV of 0.86 times in 2016.


Net Asset Value per Share

Net asset value per share for 2017 at the Group level was LKR 192.51, an increase from LKR 181.23 from 2016. As with the case of EPS, the increase in the net asset value per share amidst the increase in the share base during 2017 by over 6 million shares is impressive.

9. Employee Share Ownership Schemes

Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS) and Equity Linked Compensation Plan (ELCP)

An Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS 2016) was approved by the shareholders of the Bank at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held in March 2016 in order to, enable the management staff in the rank of Senior Manager and above of the Bank and the respective Chief Executive Officers of NDB Capital Holdings Limited, NDB Wealth Management Limited, NDB Investment Bank Limited and NDB Securities (Private) Limited to take part in the voting ordinary share capital of the Bank, subject to certain limits, terms and conditions.

As per the ESOS 2016, the Bank will offer Share Options relating to voting shares to the eligible employees up to a maximum of 5% of the total number of shares issued by the Bank. The shares under the said scheme shall be issued during a period of five years from the year 2017 (performance year 2016) subject to the performance criteria set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated 1st March 2016, and each year the Share Options will be limited to 1.25% of the total number of shares then issued by the Bank.

Although the scheme commenced in the year 2017, the Bank failed to meet the ‘Qualifying Criteria’ set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated 1st March 2016 and accordingly no shares were issued during the year 2017.

The ELCP previously approved by the shareholders at an EGM held in April 2010 (ELCP 2010), to enable the management staff in the rank of Assistant Vice President and above of the Bank to take part in the voting ordinary share capital of the Bank, was concluded in the year 2014. As per the said ELCP 2010, the eligible members of the staff were able to exercise share options until the year 2017. However no eligible staff members exercised share options during the year 2017, thus effectively concluding the Share Option component of the ELCP approved in the year 2010.
