LEASING 1.

Rating Rationale

The Turkish Leasing Sector has been regulated and supervised by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA) since 2006. The ‘Financial Leasing, Factoring and Financing Companies Law’ No. 6361 came into effect on December 13, 2012. Moreover, the Regulation regarding organization and operating principals of financial leasing, factoring and financing companies entered into force on April 24, 2013. According to BRSA statistics updated May 14, 2015, the total asset size of the Turkish Leasing Sector was TRY 35.21bn and involved 30 leasing companies, five of which were listed on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) National Market, as of the report date. The Company’s consolidated independent audit reports prepared in conformity with BRSA regulations, BRSA’s yearend sectoral data updated on February 13, 2015, BRSA’s first quarter sectoral data promulgated on May 14, 2015, JCR Eurasia Rating’s own studies and records, information and clarifications provided by the Company and non-financial figures constitute the major basis of Şeker Leasing’s ratings. In the assignment of Şeker Leasing’s ratings, quantitative and qualitative assessments regarding profitability figures, asset quality, equity level, liquidity profile, efficiency and risk management practices, the main shareholders’ financial and non-financial positions along with expected support, growth strategy and market shares have been taken into consideration. Prominent Rating Considerations are; Rising Sponsor Support Level of the Turkish Leasing Sector Upon the application filed by the Financial Institutions Association (FKB) to Takasbank (Istanbul Settlement and Custody Bank), Leasing, Factoring and Finance Companies will become members in the Clearing System and entitled to enter into borrowing/lending transactions in the Takasbank Money Market (TPP) based on certain limits and identified collaterals beginning with the enactment of the Takasbank Money Market Regulation and Procedure on April 10, 2015. Moreover, the sector’s transaction volume was supported through new products recently rendered possible by law and the new sell & lease back product formed approximately 28% of the sector’s 2014 annual turnover. Relieved Liquidity Management The Company ratio of ‘short-term borrowings to total assets’ exhibited an ongoing below sector average pattern over the years. Moreover, unlike the sector composition, the Company had a long-term structure in funding of its assets through continuing debt instrument issuances over the last three years despite deterioration in the last year with a year-end value of 44.61% against the sector figure of 70.37%. Moreover, the Company satisfied its short-term funding need of TRY 47.57mn as of 1Q2015 through a TRY 50mn debt instrument issuance realized at the end of May. Additionally, the Company had sufficient funding reserves with a cash free line amounting to TRY 226.06mn. as of June 1, 2015. Both the above stated issues relieved the liquidity management and positively contributed to risk level.

Şeker Finansal Kiralama A.Ş. and Its Subsidiary

Continuously Above Sector Income Generation Capacities of Average Total Assets and Equity The income generation capacity of the Company’s average total assets and equity remained above the sector figures over the years, mainly due to the interest margin persistently standing above the sector figure and increasing contribution of other operating income particularly over the last two years as well as comparatively low equity level. Although the above sector interest margin of the Company exhibited a downward trend since 2010, it materialized a year-end figure of 4.16% against the sector average of 3.66%. Additionally, the other operating income mainly composed of gains on FX position and collections from overdue loans contributed remarkably to total income through a 74.88% increase from TRY 8.62mn to TRY 15.08mn. Remarkably High Collateral Level The Company had a collateral amount of TRY 1.1bn composed of 78.37% bills, 16.44% mortgage and 4.28% pledges and 0.92% letter of guarantees against its TRY 353.78mn gross receivables as of FYE2014. Accordingly, the Company’s ‘collateral-to-total receivables’ ratio realized a value of 264.12% as of FYE2014 with an almost straight trend over the last years, fairly above the sector average of approximately 65%. Moreover, the Company envisages an approximately 65% collection capability for overdue loans through their collaterals mostly composed of mortgages, reducing the pressure on asset quality and generating potential of positive contribution to future profitability. Strong and Credible Shareholder Structure along with Benefits of Being a Bank Related Company Şekerbank T.A.Ş., a mid-scale commercial bank, is the majority shareholder of the Company with a stake of 54.13%. The Company uses its benefits as a bank-related company regarding funding alternatives, term and costs, customer base and network externalities through its 312 domestic branches. High Compliance to Corporate Governance Principles The Company is one of the few publicly traded leasing companies. Accordingly, as a publicly traded company since 2004, the Company had a comparatively high compliance to Corporate Governance Principles. The Company’s board composition containing seven members, two of which are independent, along with the presence of the committees of audit, corporate governance and early detection of risk structured under the board, the existence of an effective shareholders relation unit and the comprehensive content of website regarding principles are the main factors of the stated high compliance level, positively contributing to risk level through improved transparency level. Descending Market Share The Company realized a 0.52% annual and -1.18% quarterly asset growths over the last year and first quarter of 2015 against sector figures of 14.42% and 8.06%, respectively. Accordingly, the market share of the Company decreased from the 2013 year-end figure of 1.40% to 1.23% as of FYE2014 and 1.12% as of 1Q2015 through a remarkable decrease of almost to half in transaction volume in line with the Company’s cautious management strategy preferred following 2013 in which a jump was realized in the sector trading volume thanks to new sell & lease back product and volatile market conditions exercised recently. 2

LEASING Above Sector Average Ratios of NPL and Non-Performing Loans to Equity, Restraining Asset Quality The Company’s NPL ratio displayed a continuously above sector trend over the review period. Both the Company’s and sector’s NPL ratios improved over the years before the last. While the sector’s NPL ratio continued to improve in 2014, the Company’s deteriorated from 10.17% to 14.46% due to an increase in overdue loans of 42.30% from TRY 38.85mn to TRY 55.29mn and a gross leasing receivables almost equal to the previous year figure, suppressing the asset quality. Moreover, the Company ratio of ‘impaired receivables to equity’ exhibited a continuously above average pattern over the years together with an increasing trend over the last two years. A higher increase in overdue loans (42.30%) than increase in equity (11.33%) resulted in an overdue loans amount almost equal to equity with the year-end ratio of 100.60%, restraining the asset quality and raising the risk level. As stated before, it should be also noted that the Company envisages an approximately 65% collection capability regarding overdue loans in the mid-term and an increase in transaction volume in 2H2015 through improvement studies in branch network, IT infrastructure and synergy with the bank. Restrained Pre-tax Profit Generation Capacity of Total Income The Company’s average total assets and equity displayed an above sector pattern regarding income generation capacity through an above average interest margin. However, restrained pre-tax profit generation capability of total income due to operating and financial expenses exceeding sector figure showed a continuously below sector trend over the years and deteriorated in the last year via increasing provisions, suppressing profitability figures. Below Sector Average Trend in Standard Ratio Although the Company equity level meets the legal requirements through a Company Standard Ratio (equity to total assets) of 13.72% against the minimum legal requirement of 3%, its share in total resources remained below the sector figures over the last five years and last year sector figure of 18.70% in parallel with the common characteristic of comparatively low equity level of bank affiliated non-banking financial institutions. Moreover, the ratio of equity to total resources exhibited a below average trend and stayed behind the sector figure of 23.01% with a 2014 year-end value of 15.90%. On the other hand, the Company’s equity exceeded its paid-capital in 2013 for the first time since 2006 and maintained its improvement. Volatility Potential on Future Profitability Figures The Company’s net other operating income mainly composed of FX gains and provisions no longer required exhibited remarkable increases over the last two years and held a higher share than net interest and commissions in total income dispersion for the first time. The Company ratios of foreign exchange position to total assets and equity were 16.76% and 122.22%, respectively, as of FYE2014. The remarkably above sector average ratios along with a net FX gain of TRY 9.13mn and income from overdue loans of TRY 4.29mn in 2014 contributed to profitability but generated volatility potential in future profitability figures.

Challenging Market Conditions that might Pressure Profit Margins Ongoing tension in international and domestic politics, unrest in some bordering countries, decrease in investor risk appetite along with downward trend in the consumer confidence index and capital outflow potential from Emerging Countries due to existing FED monetary policies depressed Turkey’s economic growth and created the potential for diminishing profit margins through decreasing debt-services capabilities of the real sector and increasing NPLs in the sector as a whole. With respect to the above mentioned factors, JCR Eurasia Rating has affirmed the Long Term International Foreign Currency and Local Currency Ratings as ‘BBB-’, the same as that of the Sovereign Ratings of the Republic of Turkey, and revised the Long Term National Local Ratings as ‘BBB+ (Trk)’ in JCR Eurasia Rating’s notation system, which denotes a satisfactory investment grade. On the other hand, it is expected that the initiated studies regarding the reduction of risk concentration through the strategy aiming to expand its asset base through numerous small scale transactions at SME level, the expansion of the branch network, beefing up of the IT infrastructure for improving operational efficiency and increasing bank synergy together with probable future collections from overdue loans will positively contribute to the Company’s future trading volume and profitability indicators. 2.

Outlook

A ‘Stable’ outlook has been assigned for the Company’s short and long term national grades considering the favourable or unfavourable effects on the Company’s current situation and development trend of the following issues: regarding profitability & performance, capital adequacy, liquidity and asset quality including continuously above average interest margin maintaining income generation capacity, Şekerbank weighted shareholding structure contributing to liquidity, funding costs, clientele and network, long-term weighted debt structure unlike the sector composition together with continuing debt instrument issuances, comparatively high collateral level and collection capability of overdue loans, high compliance with corporate governance principles contributing to transparency level, descending market share through remarkably below sector year-end negative first quarter asset growths along with ascending sponsor support level of the sector, decreased profitability ratios and continuously below sector pre-tax profit generation capacity of total income due to ongoing above sector operational and financial expenses and increasing provisions, below sector average standard ratio despite meeting legal requirements, deterioration in above sector NPL ratio along with comparatively high collection capability, overdue loans exceeding equity, increasing share of other operating income in total income generating volatility potential on future profitability figures and highly competitive and challenging market conditions. Additionally, JCR Eurasia Rating has affirmed and assigned ‘Stable’ outlooks on the International Long and Short Term Local Currency Rating perspectives, respectively, of Şeker Leasing which are the Sovereign Ratings’ Outlooks of the Republic of Turkey. The main driving forces that can call forth a revision in the current outlook status include Company related issues

LEASING affecting asset quality, liability profile and profitability, along with Turkey’s sovereign rating which is highly responsive to domestic and foreign political and economic uncertainties, tensions and developments. 3.

Sponsor Support & Stand Alone Assessment

Sponsor support grades and their risk identifications and estimations reflect the financial and non-financial state and expected support of the Company’s major controlling shareholder, Şekerbank T.A.Ş., and the sector’s support level by public authorities. It is reasoned that Şeker Leasing’s main shareholder, as a mid-scale commercial bank in Turkey with a domestic network of 312 branches, has the adequate power, experience and equipment to provide financial and efficient operational support as and when required. In this regard, together with the sector’s support level falling behind the banking sector despite the improvements made through recent legislative regulations and implementations, JCR Eurasia Rating has affirmed the Sponsor Support Grade of ‘2’ reflecting the financial and non-financial states and expected support by the shareholders. The Stand-Alone Grade has been constituted with respect to the Company’s asset size and quality, equity structure, market shares, growth rates, risk management practices, operating history, track records and the development of existing risks in the markets and business environment. Within this context, the Stand Alone Grade of the Company has been affirmed as ‘AB’ in JCR Eurasia Rating’s notation system, with the opinion that Şeker Leasing has the level of strong experience and facilities to manage the incurred risks on its balance sheet without any assistance from its shareholders provided that it improves its market efficiency and pre-tax profit generation capacity. 4.

due to violations of BRSA regulations, mergers or through their own discretion. The Sector showed a rapid improvement since its inception until the tax regulations materialized in the final days of 2008. Penetration rates, defined as the share of total leases excluding immovable assets among fixed capital investments of private sector, are quite low in the Leasing Sector in Turkey. While the leasing rate of total fixed capital investments is about 15-20% in industrially improved countries, this rate stands at about 2% in Turkey. However, Turkey can be considered to have great potential for improvement. Leasing service provides assistance and financing opportunities to companies regarding efficiency and cost management issues by making the leasing of production and investment instruments instead of buying. Leasing is a financing method that gives the lessee the operating rights of a property for a previously determined rent, while the lessor retains the ownership rights and transfers the ownership of the property at a clearly stated value at the end of the lease period. With this method, companies have essential financial advantages and use their capitals much more effectively. Asset size of the Leasing Companies in Turkey was TRY32.5bn and equity TRY6.09bn as of FYE2014. The Sector showed a positive development until 2008 before declining by 14.23% due to new tax regulations in 2009 and regaining its expansion. Between 2004 and 2014 the Sector had a cumulative asset growth rate of 386.32%.

Leasing receivables constituted the highest portion of Sector assets with a share of 90.92% while short term credits constituted the highest part of the resources at a rate of 69.19%. The Sector addressed funding needs mostly with short term credits provided from banks and the shortage in diversity in funding sources was the main characteristic of the sector accordingly. The total Sector equity was 18.70% of total resources and cannot associate with asset growth.

LEASING The Sector’s nonperforming receivables ratio (NPL) was 6.68% as of 2014, three times that of the Banking Sector. The ratio of nonperforming receivables to total equity of 34.78% increased the risk perception in that field and suppressed asset quality.

Profitability indicators of the Leasing Sector were lower than those of the Banking Sector in 2014. ROA (av.) and ROE (av) of the Banking Sector were 1.69% and 14.82%, respectively, while they stood at 2.19% and 11.76%, respectively, in the Leasing Sector. Likewise, interest coverage ratio and net or gross profit margin ratios were also lower than those of the Banking Sector. However, the equity to total assets ratio was higher in the Leasing Sector at 18.70%, compared to 11.64% in the Banking Sector in 2014. Asset and transaction volume concentration rates were very high amongst the 30 leasing companies. Companies which contain banks in their shareholder structure constituted the major concentration in the Sector. 6.

The Company had a total asset size of TRY 400.68mn, corresponding to a 1.23% market share as of FYE2014. Both the Company’s and sector’s asset growths decelerated in the last year. On the other hand, the Company’s 2014 annual growth of 0.52% fell remarkably behind the sector figure of 14.42%, suppressing market efficiency. Increasing provisions and decreasing year-end and annual transaction volumes are the main factors behind the decelerated asset growth. Moreover, the asset size of the Company decreased to TRY 395.95mn and realized a 3.57% YoY contraction as of 1Q2015.

The Company’s profitability ratios ROAA and ROAE both exhibited an improving trend between 2010 and 2013 despite their mostly below sector average standings, with the exception of the ROAE in 2013. On the other hand, the stated ratios materialised a rapid decrease in the last year, falling below the 2010 figures, mainly due to provisions for impaired receivables amounting to TRY 12.54mn in 2014. Accordingly, a 50.64% decrease in pre-tax profit against 17.94% and 11.56% increases in average assets and equity, respectively, resulted in a remarkable deterioration in the Company’s 2014 year-end ROAA and ROAE ratios with the rates of 0.80% and 6.13%, respectively.

The interest margin of Şeker Leasing progressively stood above the sector averages over the last five years and 3.69% (sector average 2.71%) as of FYE2014. Although both the Company interest rates for earning assets and costly liabilities stood at above sector averages, the higher spread for earning assets led to the above sector interest margin in 2014.

Risk Profiles & Management a) Risk Management Organization & Its Function – General Informatıon

The Company is exposed to credit, liquidity, market and operational risks derived from its leasing activities. The risk management organization and practices of the Company have not been changed since the last year. The Treasury and Finance departments of the Group are responsible for providing steady access to domestic and foreign financial markets and monitoring and management of financial risk exposures associated with the activities of the Group through intra-Group risk reports. The Company is audited by third party institutions in the matters of independent audit, information technologies and tax legislation. Moreover, the Company is also supervised by the Inspection Board of major shareholder, Şekerbank T.A.Ş., and its Internal Control Department. The Company reports to risk management committee on monthly basis. b) Credit Risk The Credit department, early detection of risk & credit committee and Board of Directors of Şeker Leasing are responsible for the follow-up of lease receivables. All lending decisions are approved within the credit committee or the Board. In addition, the Company has an internal scoring analysis system. According to their results, the Company’s risk levels of leasing receivables was concentrated in the “A-” (well) scoring categories at a rate of 20.28% as of 1Q2015. Moreover, the concentration in the “A+” (excellent) stood at 14.34%. In all, 60.29% of the leasing receivables were in the scoring categories of ‘B+’ (satisfactory) or higher. The Company manages its credit risk by limiting transactions regarding some specific sectors as well as the continuous control and reevaluation of debtor credibility. Additionally, the Company also tries to take into account the sector and regional concentration in managing its credit risk. Moreover, the Company obtains additional security for its receivables if possible. The Company had a collateral amount of TRY 1.2bn against its TRY 382.27mn gross receivables as of FYE2014. Accordingly, the Company’s ‘collateral-to-total receivables’ ratio realized a value of 264.12% as of FYE2014, almost four fold the sector average of approximately 66%. The Company’s leasing receivables are spread across diverse sectors. The Company had a sector dispersion of 18.07% in tourism, 14.24% in construction, 12.49% in machinery and equipment, 11.66% in mining, metals & chemistry and 11.45% in finance as of 1Q2015. The figures in all brackets stayed within the acceptable level of national reference indices.

c)

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to its financial assets and liabilities mainly composed of leasing receivables, borrowings and bond issuances. The Company had no floating interest rated financial assets as of FYE2014. The Company tries to minimize the interest rate risk through efforts to ensure an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rated payables. While all of the Company’s financial assets were fixed rated, 32.15% of the Company financial liabilities were floating rated as of FYE2014. Moreover, the Company’s financial statement had a variance range of (+/-) TRY 631k (FYE2013: (+/-) TRY 23k) in the case of 100bp increase or decrease in interest rates as of FYE2014. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk due to assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and had a net FX position of TRY 67.17mn as of FYE2014 (FYE2013: TRY 43.25mn). Accordingly, the Company’s financial statement had an increasing variance range of (+/-) TRY 6.72mn in the case of increases or decreases of 10% (the administrative expectation of possible change in foreign exchange rates) in exchange rates as of FYE2014 (FYE2013: (+/-) TRY 4.35mn). d) Liquidity Risk The funding unit of the Group reports expected cash flows on a daily basis. Liquidity management is performed through coordination with the asset and liability committee (ALCO) in monthly meetings. The Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funding and borrowing sources through regular following of forecast and actual cash flow and matching efforts of assets and liabilities. Within this scope, funding through bond issuances continues. As of June 1, 2015, cash credit lines worth TRY 359.31mn were extended to Şeker Leasing by 20 (in previous report 18) different financial institutions and 37.08% of this total line was utilized, with a cash free line amounting to TRY 226.06mn. Additionally, a TRY 27.5mn borrowing/lending limit was extended to the Company to transact in the Takasbank Money Market (TPP). Moreover, there 9 cases with the total amount TRY 1.16mn that may affect the Company’s future financial position. The Leasing Sector is exposed to maturity mismatch risk due to the long-term maturity structure of lease receivables against the short-term borrowing structure. By the end of 2014, while the Company’s lease receivables had an average maturity of 842 days, its average borrowings term was 281 days.
