Equity Bottom-Up

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (MUFG) / Equity Bottom-Up

*Weak May 2020 Data: ACOM (8572.JP) released poor May 2020 monthly performance data on June 10th which exhibited negative consumer lending growth for the first time since 2014  - declining 0.6% YOY during the month. ACOM is chronically understates kaburai risk;* No Guidance Still: Senior management did not issue FY3/21 guidance, we remain in the dark regarding treatment of credit costs and its overseas operations; and  * MUFG Should Struggle Globally Too: The lack of provisioning is far from the only problem MUFG must manage. Post-COVID-19, we calculate that MUFG America’s will have a regulatory capital shortfall of up to USD 6.5 bn or 40% of MUFG America’s stated equity; continued impairments on subsidiaries; significant Softbank (9984.JP) exposure; and Morgan Stanley’s (MS.US) MUFG dilutive E*Trade (ETFC.US) transaction.

MUFG  (8306 JP):  Dealing With a New Order

* ACOM Is Challenged: On May 14th, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Holdings Group’s (8306.JP) [MUFG] subsidiary ACOM (8572.JP) posted its results  - which came in line with its downward revision two weeks prior. Forecasts were abandoned for FY 3/21. Going forward, ACOM expects the number of interest refund claims to decline 20% YOY in FY 3/21, which appears predicated on the number of refund claims dropping 27.3% YOY in April. April witnessed the number of new loan applications decline 34.7% YOY; new customers decline 37.2%; and the balance of unsecured loans increase 1.3%; and * Other Strains At MUFG: ACOM is far from the only headache at MUFG: post-COVID-19, we calculate that MUFG America’s will have a regulatory capital shortfall of up to USD 6.5 bn or 40% of MUFG America’s stated equity; impairments on subsidiaries; significant Softbank (9984.JP) exposure; and Morgan Stanley’s (MS.US) MUFG dilutive E*Trade (ETFC.US) transaction.

*MUFG Pre-Announcement: According to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (8306.JP) [MUFG], FY 2019 preliminary profit declined to its lowest level in a decade after MUFG added JPY 100 bn to JPY 520 bn (results due out on May 15th) due to  COVID-19-related charges and stock holdings hurt by volatile markets. This is the second earnings revision in less than a year, as guidance is now down 40% in aggregate.*Still Overstating Earnings Despite Downgrade: All else equal, MUFG – based on its lax discretionary provisioning methodology - is overstating preliminary results between JPY 916-1,042 bn, by our calculation.*Pig Piling Continues: The lack of provisioning is far from the only problem MUFG must manage.
