EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh have been playing a significant role in the
financial system of the country. This sector has emerged as increasingly important segment of the
financial system because of the rapidly rising demand for long term financing and equity type services.
IDLC Finance Ltd. and LankaBangla Finance Ltd. are currently the two top-most NBFIs in the country.
The country has seen tremendous ups and downs in the economy in the last few years. Some were
due to global recession and some were due to the country’s inherent political instability. But amongst
all these Bangladesh has resiliently growth at a GDP growth rate of above 6%. And country’s financial
institutions are at the heart of the growth. The study underlies the differences in business models of
the country’s to leading financial institutions.
There are more than twenty Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) still working in Bangladesh but
only two NBFI (IDLC and LankaBangla) play vital rule in overall NBFI sector. We will discuss only those
two non-bank financial institutions. Based on research we will make a decision which stock we will
invest IDLC or LankaBangla.
The study indicates that there is significant difference in business models and revenue compositions
between the two financial institutions. The differences in business practices provide different tipping
points between growth and stability. IDLC shows strength in its stable banking activities and steady
growth whereas LankaBangla focuses more on the capital market and somewhat risky ventures and
enjoys higher return by accommodating higher risk.

1. Introduction
Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh have been playing a significant role in the
financial system of the country. This sector has emerged as increasingly important segment of the
financial system because of the rapidly rising demand for long term financing and equity type services.
NBFIs added differentiation to the bank based financial market of Bangladesh. This sector has turned
increasingly into rival of the banking sector in terms of firm size and also offering dynamic services in
line with the traditional services. NBFIs in Bangladesh play major role in filling gaps in financial
intermediation by providing diversified investment instruments and risk polling services. NBFIs have
achieved impressive growth in recent years reflecting the process of financial innovation and holding
the promise of deepening financial intermediation in long term financing needs.
NBFIs were incorporated in Bangladesh under the then Companies Act, 1913 and were being
regulated by the provisions contained in Chapter V of the Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972. Later, to
remove the regulatory deficiency and also to define a wide range of activities to be covered by NBFIs,
a new statute titled the 'Financial Institution Act, 1993' was enacted in 1993, followed by the 'Financial
Institution Regulation, 1994'. NBFIs have been given license and regulated under the Financial
Institution Act, 1993. There are 30 NBFIs licensed under this act. As per the Financial Institution
Regulation, 1994, at present, minimum paid up capital for NBFIs is Taka 1.0 billion. So far 20 out of 30
NBFIs raised capital through issuing IPO, while three are exempted from the issuance of IPO. Other
major sources of funds of NBFIs are Term Deposit, Credit Facility from Banks and other NBFIs, Call
Money as well as Bond and Securitization. NBFIs business line is narrow in comparison with Bank's in
Bangladesh. Now a day's NBFIs are working as multi- product financial institutions.
IDLC Finance Ltd. Commenced Its Journey in 1985, as the 1st ever leasing company in the country.
IDLC was licensed as a financial institution by the country’s central bank Bangladesh bank, following
the enactment of the financial institution Act 1993. Over the last two and half decades, IDLC has
grown in tandem with the country’s transition in to a developing country and has emerged as
Bangladesh’s leading multi-product financial institution. To encapsulate the evolving nature of the
company, IDLC has changed its name IDLC finance ltd. from earlier Industrial Development Leasing
Company of Bangladesh Limited in August 2007. Since 1985 when IDLC was formed as the pioneering
leasing company in Bangladesh, the company continues to evolve as an innovative financial solutions
provider. IDLC is now able to offer its customers integrated and customized financial solutions all
under one roof.
LankaBangla Finance Limited started its journey long back in 1997 as a joint-venture financial
institution with multinational collaboration having license from Bangladesh Bank under Financial
Institution Act-1993. Now LankaBangla is one of country’s leading providers of financial services
including corporate financial services, stock broking, corporate advisory and wealth management
services. Under the broadest umbrella of products and service offerings, it is the lone financial
institution to operate credit card (MasterCard and VISA) and also provide third party card processing
services to different banks in Bangladesh. LankaBangla is a primary dealer of government securities
since November 2009. Since 2006 LankaBangla has been listed in both DSE & CSE in Bangladesh.

3. Literature review
The performance of a financial institution is a difficult thing to measure with just a few numbers. It is
different in different regions, in different period of times and may have different standards in the
same industry to be considered as comparable. As our research in this report is a comparison between
to like non-banking financial institutions. Therefore for our purpose we consider the following
matrices for our comparison.
Deposit is money placed into a banking institution for safekeeping. Deposits are made to deposit
accounts at a banking institution, such as savings accounts, checking accounts and money market
accounts. The account holder has the right to withdraw any deposited funds, as set forth in the terms
and conditions of the account. The "deposit" itself is a liability owed by the bank to the depositor (the
person or entity that made the deposit), and refers to this liability rather than to the actual funds that
are deposited. Deposits are the driving force for a financial institution.
Borrowing of low cost funds from banks is one of the prime sources of financing for non-banking
financial institutions in Bangladesh. We consider this matrix for our purposes in this analysis to get an
overview of the dependency of the selected financial institution on other institutions.
Percentage of Liabilities in terms of total asset gives an idea of the debt burden of the financial
institution. It is a matrix we consider in our analysis.
Loan is the asset for a financial institution. Total loan is the prime measure of business performance of
a banking financial institution. We have considered this matrix in our studies for comparison purpose.
It is one of the major indicators for the performance of an NBFI. We must analyze the growth of loans,
composition, and special mentions in the compositions for our analysis purposes.
The amount charged, expressed as a percentage of principal, by a lender to a borrower for the use of
assets. Interest rates are typically noted on an annual basis, known as the annual percentage rate
(APR). Lending rate is the determinant of the top line for a banking institution. We consider the
variation of the lending rates of the institutions for consideration.
The interest rate paid by financial institutions for the funds that they deploy in their business. The cost
of funds is one of the most important input costs for a financial institution, since a lower cost will
generate better returns when the funds are deployed in the form of short-term and long-term loans
to borrowers. The spread between the cost of funds and the interest rate charged to borrowers
represents one of the main sources of profit for most financial institutions.
Investment income is the income coming from interest payments, dividends, capital gains collected
upon the sale of a security or other assets, and any other profit that is made through an investment
vehicle of any kind. In Bangladesh Investment income of NBFIs majorly comprise of income from
secondary capital markets. There can also be other sources of investment income for the institutions.
We will look into these compositions for our analysis purpose.
6|P a ge
Margin loan is a loan from a broker to a client that essentially functions as a margin account. The
funds may be used for any purpose, and the loan is secured with securities owned by the client. It is
not yet tracked by Bangladesh Bank CIB. It is a risky zone for financial institutions.
Someone who gets paid by the brokerage company for which he works for each order of securities he
executes on a customer's behalf. The commission structure can encourage unethical behavior by
unscrupulous commission brokers. For example, a dishonest commission broker may engage in a
practice called churning, which means executing multiple trades in a customer's account for the sole
purpose of generating more commissions. The additional trades do not benefit the customer.
It is a category of expenditure that a business incurs as a result of performing its normal business
operations. One of the typical responsibilities that management must contend with is determining
how low operating expenses can be reduced without significantly affecting the firm's ability to
compete with its competitors. It is also known as "OPEX".
A measure of the likelihood of default of a loan or lease, combined with a measure of its marketability.
That is, asset quality is a measure of the price at which a bank or other financial institution can sell a
loan or lease to a third party, as determined by the borrower or lessee, especially by a bond issuer.
Credit ratings agencies determine credit quality in order to provide bond ratings; they may change
these from time to time
Loan becomes non-performing when it cannot be recovered within certain stipulated time that is
governed by some respective laws. So, non-performing loan is defined from the institutional point of
view, generally from the lending institutions side. Loan may also be non- performing if it is used in a
different way than that for which it has been taken. This is the user’s point of view. But, here we will
confine the definition to the institutional point of view. Loan classification means giving each and
every loan case a status unclassified, sub-standard, doubtful or bad loss through verification of
borrower’s repayment performance on particular date while provisioning means setting aside fund
from the profit (profit before provision and taxes) against possible loan loss. This is obviously essential
for determining the financial health and efficiency of the banking sector. Besides, a proper loan
classification and provisioning system ensures credibility of the financial system that in turn restores
trust and confidence in the minds of the depositors. In this case, loan becomes non-performing when
it is classified as bad and loss for which Bangladesh Bank requires 100% provisioning by the scheduled
commercial banks (as per BRPD circular). Under Basel-II, loans past due for more than 90 days are
non-performing.
It is an expense set aside as an allowance for bad loans (customer defaults, or terms of a loan have to
be renegotiated, etc.). Bangladesh bank has a set guideline on how to provision loans in different
category and how to report them on the financial reports. It is Also known as a "valuation allowance"
or "valuation reserve".
It is a company's total earnings (or profit). Net income is calculated by taking revenues and adjusting
for the cost of doing business, depreciation, interest, taxes and other expenses. This number is found
on a company's income statement and is an important measure of how profitable the company is over
a period of time. The measure is also used to calculate earnings per share. Often referred to as "the
bottom line" since net income is listed at the bottom of the income statement.
7|P a ge
ROA tells you what earnings were generated from invested capital (assets). ROA for public companies
can vary substantially and will be highly dependent on the industry. This is why when using ROA as a
comparative measure, it is best to compare it against a company's previous ROA numbers or the ROA
of a similar company.
The assets of the company are comprised of both debt and equity. Both of these types of financing are
used to fund the operations of the company. The ROA figure gives investors an idea of how effectively
the company is converting the money it has to invest into net income. The higher the ROA number,
the better, because the company is earning more money on less investment. For example, if one
company has a net income of $1 million and total assets of $5 million, its ROA is 20%; however, if
another company earns the same amount but has total assets of $10 million, it has an ROA of 10%.
Based on this example, the first company is better at converting its investment into profit. When you
really think about it, management's most important job is to make wise choices in allocating its
resources. Anybody can make a profit by throwing a ton of money at a problem, but very few
managers excel at making large profits with little investment.
The ROE is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same
industry. There are several variations on the formula that investors may use:
1. Investors wishing to see the return on common equity may modify the formula above by
subtracting preferred dividends from net income and subtracting preferred equity from shareholders'
equity, giving the following: return on common equity (ROCE) = net income - preferred dividends /
common equity.
2. Return on equity may also be calculated by dividing net income by average shareholders' equity.
Average shareholders' equity is calculated by adding the shareholders' equity at the beginning of a
period to the shareholders' equity at period's end and dividing the result by two.
3. Investors may also calculate the change in ROE for a period by first using the shareholders' equity
figure from the beginning of a period as a denominator to determine the beginning ROE. Then, the
end-of-period shareholders' equity can be used as the denominator to determine the ending ROE.
Calculating both beginning and ending ROEs allows an investor to determine the change in
profitability over the period.
Normalized earnings are the earning adjusted for cyclical ups and downs in the economy. On the
balance sheet, earnings adjusted to remove unusual or one-time influences.

4. Objective of the study
5. Scope
This report analyses the competitive differences between IDLC Finance &LankaBangla Finance from
the data available publicly. Data are taken from previous annual reports and public sources such as
daily newspapers and Bangladesh Bank website. Data unavailable in these sources might not be
reflected in the analysis.
9|P a ge
6. Methodology
The research purpose in this study will be analytical and as much visual as possible. It will contain
comparative studies between the companies and will present as much graphically as possible for ease
of understanding.
The study is a cross sectional study of information over a time period. I have conducted the research
based on the following:
7. Limitations
Due to restriction of time and access the data couldn’t be analyzed more deeply.
A complete analysis of the industry might have provided with a better comparative picture.
In some cases the annual reports were vague in the notes where explanation was needed.
10 | P a g e
8. Comparative Analysis
The data collected from the annual reports of the companies are analyzed in different matrices below
and presented graphically. All values are presented in million BDT or in percentage terms.
The advantage of IDLC in bringing in deposits from clients is contributed by its FMCG model sales force
and a heavy concentration and large network focused in bringing in deposit. According to IDLC
management IDLC deposit engine is capable of bringing in 20 Billion BDT deposit in a month.
Though LankaBangla is far behind in the amount marking deposits for the institutions, the company
has shown superior growth in bringing in deposits in the large few years. For our analysis purpose we
11 | P a g e
still consider IDLC to be stronger in this aspect because of the deposit portfolio size the company
carries. The industry averages of total deposit growth of NBFI sector is 26.1%.
IDLC shows significant increase in bank borrowing in 2013. The treasury department of IDLC Finance in
this regard explains that, treasury is a profit generating unit itself and IDLC increase its dependency on
Bank borrowing this year because of the attractive rates from banks due to inability of banks to lend
the fund elsewhere. Industry average of Borrowings 20%, Deposits 60% and other liabilities 20%.
12 | P a g e
Data on percentage of total liability explains the fact that IDLC is mostly dependent on its own deposit
engine whereas LankaBangla is mostly dependent on bank borrowing.
13 | P a g e
Not only in terms of total loan portfolio size but IDLC also shows dominance in loan portfolio growth
from year-to-year. Last year loan portfolio growth of IDLC was around 33.3% against 25.6% of
LankaBangla. IDLC had 78.9% growth the previous year against LankaBangla’s 23.7%. Industry average
is 21.8%.
Loan compositions of the companies differ significantly when they are compared with each other.
IDLC has higher exposure in securitized real estate loans, industrial loans and SME loans in the year
2013.
14 | P a g e
And in industrial loan section IDLC has very high exposure in IT sector followed by RMG and cement
sector. It has least exposure in leather and chemicals because the company has a strict policy when
lending to such borrowers regarding the environmental issue.
LankaBangla’s exposure is mostly in Industrial loans in the year 2013. The huge other loans sections
mostly contributes to the margin loan portfolio of the company which we will discuss later in detail in
our analysis.
In the industrial loan section LankaBangla’s portfolio is mostly invested in Energy & Power sector
followed by RMG and Cement & Ceramic sector. A composition is very different from that of IDLC.
15 | P a g e
Figure 12: Industrial loan composition of LankaBangla
If we compare the real estate loan of the companies with that of the market leader in this section
DBH, we see that portfolio size of IDLC was less than half of that of DBH and contributes to around
25% of the loan portfolio of IDLC. This year IDLC management has confirmed that it has beaten DBH
on month-to-month basis for last 18 months straightforward. In this sector LankaBangla is far behind
in the competition. In 2013 The industry average of real estate loan is 8,344 million.

17 | P a g e
Figure 16: % Net Interest- IDLC vs LankaBangla
LankaBangla is a primary dealer of government securities, which IDLC is not. Industry average of
government securities is 726 million. LankaBangla’s investment in government securities was around
1.1 billion BDT last year and was significant in all of the previous years in discussion.
18 | P a g e
Figure 18: Investment in Government Securities
A large portion of LankaBangla’s earning comes from its exposure in the secondary stock market.
Industry average of stock market exposure of NBFI sector is 447 million or 0.5 billion. Total exposure
of LankaBangla in stock market in last year was around 2.5 billion BDT against 0.7 billion of IDLC. And
LankaBangla has shown superior earnings over time from stock market than any other financial
company.
If we consider stock market exposure in terms of total equity we still get the same picture.
LankaBangla has a lot larger exposure in stock market in terms of equity than IDLC. Industry average
of stock market exposure in terms of total equity is 10.23%. Last year the exposure was around 35.6%
compared to that of 13.5% of IDLC.

IDLC’s operating expense as % of its operating income is also higher. . Industry average of operating
expense in terms of total income is 43.48%. It has been higher for LankaBangla in the past, but recent
expansion in business and also manpower of IDLC and their intense focus on consumer lending, which
contributes to lower attrition, has increased the operating expenditure in the recent years.
22 | P a g e
Figure 26: OPEX % Total operating income- IDLC vs LankaBangla
LankaBangla has shown a lesser amount of classified assets in the year 2013 compare to that of IDLC.
Most of its assets are tied into margin loan account and those accounts do not default or show
unrealized losses till those is realized. Bangladesh bank is taking initiative to disclose unrealized loss
from the margin loan portfolios. That has a chance of hitting the LankaBangla portfolio in the future.
23 | P a g e
Figure 28: Asset quality- LankaBangla
NPL+SMA show a better measure of non-performing loans than the regular pictures. If we compare
that picture, we still get the same results. Industry average of NPL+SMA is 9.45% which is greater than
NPL+SMA of both IDLC and LankaBangla.
24 | P a g e
Figure 30: NPL+SMA- IDLC vs LankaBangla
8.16. PAT
When comparing PAT, both companies go head to head. IDLC Finance’s better and stronger banking
services are countered by LankaBangla’s stronger capital market exposure and gains from brokerage
services and investment incomes. Industry average of PAT is only 295 million in last year. Last year
25 | P a g e
Profit after tax for LankaBangla was 955 million against 669 million of that id IDLC’s. In last 3 out of 4
years, LankaBnagla has shown a higher PAT than that of IDLC.
8.17. ROA
The return on asset for LankaBangla is also higher which can be explained by its income mostly from
investments and lower operating expenses. Industry average of ROA of NBFI sector is 1.6%.
Theoretical standard of ROA is 10.3 based on essentials of managerial finance by Besley & Brigham.
8.18. ROE
LankaBangla also shows a higher return on equity than that of IDLC in 2013. LankaBangla’s ROE is
13.6% compared to that of 12.5% of that of the return on equity of IDLC. Industry average of ROE is
only 8.6% which is comparatively lower than ROE of both IDLC and LankaBangla. That was due to the
26 | P a g e
higher provisioning by IDLC than that of LankaBangla’s. In all the previous year’s ROE of IDLC was
comparatively higher. But Theoretical standard of ROE is 17.7 based on essentials of managerial
finance by Besley & Brigham.

9. Findings
The findings of the total analysis can be summarized in following sections-
27 | P a g e
IDLC has an organizational design focused to serve is banking activities throughout its large national
network. This is a stable model in all stages of a cycle in economy. LankaBangla focuses more on
research of securities for investment and earns a large profit from its investment services. IDLC has a
large network to cater its own borrowing engine and lower cost of fund whereas LankaBangla with its
5% share among brokerage service provider has strong market power and market making capabilities.
LankaBangla has a powerful capital market exposure and has the power to make the market. Their
research service gives it access among foreign clients who are interested in investing in the equity
market of Bangladesh. Though cyclic and highly correlated with stock market growth, it is a powerful
growth driver nonetheless.
On the other hand LankaBangla has increased its margin loan portfolio every year. It is sustainable for
LankaBangla due to its market power and leading brokerage services. In future any guideline regarding
disclosure of unrealized gains/losses from investment can make its earning more vulnerable unless to
stock market picks up at a faster pace. But the foreign trades of LankaBangla have put the
organization in a very strong footing.
9.5. Profitability
As reflected in ROA and ROE, LankaBangla shows higher profitability. But as shown by its PAT over
time, its PAT growth is highly cyclic and the asset portfolio is mostly invested in risky assets such as
margin loan products for the equity market. Though IDLC shows lower profitability in terms of ROA
and ROE, the market dominance is business segments and diversification of asset portfolio ensures
stable growth over time.

10. Conclusion
The market power of LankaBangla has in secondary capital market in largely due to LankaBangla’s
focus in stock market and earlier initiation of investment research activities. Investment research
activities have gained LankaBangla access to the foreign investors willing to invest in Bangladesh
equity market. Along with that and powerful trade execution service LankaBangla has made itself the
market leader in the sector.
IDLC has mostly focused in its banking activities in the past year. Though IDLC has one of the strongest
reputations in research community and in Investment Banking, the organization has minimized its
focus on stock market in the previous years. But recently IDLC has put in focus in in brokerage and
research activities. We might be able to see some changes in market dynamics in the up-coming years.
The most important or critical Question is that which stock I will invest IDLC or LankaBangla. Both
stocks are equally potential for investing in secondary market. But in long run IDLC is more stable
than LankaBangla because of its consistent growth in profit margin, deposit, and loan. IDLC also enjoy
a better position in terms of asset quality. So, I will invest in IDLC rather than LankaBangla.
