Banks In 2QFY21, we expect credit growth for our coverage banks to slow further (7.3% YoY vs. 8.2% in 1Q). Even as disbursals of new loans are likely to have seen a QoQ uptick, they are likely to have been much lower YoY. Further, repayments are likely to have increased with the moratorium coming to an end in August. Non-food credit growth slowed to 6% YoY in August, the slowest rate of growth in the past three years. Similar trends were seen across sub-segments- industrial credit, service credit, and personal loans. We expect our coverage banks to have registered relatively quicker deposit growth in 2Q (14.7% YoY). Aggregate deposits for the sector grew by ~12% YoY during the fortnight ended 11 th September. Within our coverage, we expect large private banks (ICICIBC, AXSB, and KMB) and SBIN to have seen strong deposit growth during the quarter. Consequently, we expect a broad-based downtrend in CD ratios (73.5% vs. 74.5% in 1QFY21 and 78.5% in 2QFY20). We expect most of our coverage banks to have seen stable to declining NIMs on account of (1) the impact of the fall in MCLRs/ external rates becoming more pronounced as a greater proportion of their loan books is re-priced, (2) banks’ assets are likely to be re-priced faster than their liabilities, and (3) a fall in banks’ CD ratios and rise in liquidity.

Sequential earnings recovery Despite an uptick in real economic activity and fresh disbursals, we

expect companies within our coverage to have registered slower YoY

credit growth. Disclosures by select lenders and trends in non-food

credit growth suggest this too. We expect banks/NBFCs with our

coverage to report credit growth of 7.3/5.8% YoY vs. 8.2/7.1% in 1QFY21.

Deposit growth is likely to have exceeded credit growth for our coverage

banks, and we expect large private banks within our coverage to have

fared particularly well on this front. Asset quality metrics are likely to

have remained stable across lenders (1) as delinquent accounts emerging

from the moratorium are unlikely to have crossed ninety days past due,

and (2) in light of the recent Supreme Court order preventing lenders

from classifying borrowers as NPAs (subject to the final verdict).

However, lenders are likely to continue to shore up provisions.

Our broad thesis remains unchanged. We expect the space to witness

increased polarisation. Consequently, larger banks with sufficient

capital, strong granular liability franchises, and a good asset quality

track record are expected to emerge stronger. Our top picks are ICICIBC

(SoTP of Rs 496), AXSB (SoTP of Rs 619), and CUBK (TP of Rs 196). CIFC

(TP of Rs 289) remains our top pick in the NBFC space.

What we will watch for: (1) disbursals under the NCGTC scheme, (2)

collection efficiency trends and early bucket delinquencies, (3) bank-

level commentary on the utilisation of the COVID-19 related stress

resolution framework, (4) additional provisions related to COVID-19,

and (5) judicial outcomes related to the classification of accounts as NPA

and the levy of interest on interest in case of accounts under moratorium.

Banks

In 2QFY21, we expect credit growth for our coverage banks to slow

further (7.3% YoY vs. 8.2% in 1Q). Even as disbursals of new loans are

likely to have seen a QoQ uptick, they are likely to have been much

lower YoY. Further, repayments are likely to have increased with the

moratorium coming to an end in August. Non-food credit growth

slowed to 6% YoY in August, the slowest rate of growth in the past

three years. Similar trends were seen across sub-segments- industrial

credit, service credit, and personal loans.

We expect our coverage banks to have registered relatively quicker

deposit growth in 2Q (14.7% YoY). Aggregate deposits for the sector

grew by ~12% YoY during the fortnight ended 11th September. Within

our coverage, we expect large private banks (ICICIBC, AXSB, and

KMB) and SBIN to have seen strong deposit growth during the

quarter. Consequently, we expect a broad-based downtrend in CD

ratios (73.5% vs. 74.5% in 1QFY21 and 78.5% in 2QFY20).

We expect most of our coverage banks to have seen stable to declining

NIMs on account of (1) the impact of the fall in MCLRs/ external rates

becoming more pronounced as a greater proportion of their loan books

is re-priced, (2) banks’ assets are likely to be re-priced faster than their

liabilities, and (3) a fall in banks’ CD ratios and rise in liquidity. We

expect compression to continue over FY21E (refer to our report ‘Near-

term NIM headwinds’).

2QFY21E Results Preview

Most banks within our coverage registered a sharp QoQ improvement in cost

metrics in 1Q, on account of lower business volumes. With an uptick in business

volumes (relative to 1Q), operating costs are likely to rebound sequentially.

However, most banks should register a YoY improvement in cost efficiency.

Similarly, with a fall in business volumes, most banks saw a sharp fall in core non-

interest income, the impact of which was offset by higher treasury income at some

banks in 1QFY21. We expect a sequential rise in core non-interest income (albeit

lower YoY). Treasury income is likely to be sequentially lower for our coverage.

Asset quality metrics will remain optically cushioned, as most accounts which have

turned delinquent on exiting the moratorium would not have crossed ninety days

past due. Further, the Supreme Court has ordered lenders not to classify accounts

as non-performing. However, this would be subject to judicial outcomes on the

matter, and banks could voluntarily classify accounts as non-performing.

We expect our coverage banks to see a sequential fall in non-tax provisions,

although they are likely to be higher on a YoY basis as banks may want to insulate

their balance sheets further. As GNPAs are unlikely to see a material increase,

calculated coverage is set to rise for most players.

We will watch for commentary around (1) collection trends, (2) early bucket

delinquencies (SMA), and (3) restructuring under the COVID-19 stress resolution

framework, and regulatory/ judicial developments regarding the levy of interest on

loans under moratorium and classification of delinquent accounts as NPA.

NBFCs and HFCs

NBFCs and HFCs within our coverage are expected to have registered a QoQ

uptick in disbursals in 2Q. However, we expect YoY AUM growth for these

companies to decelerate further, on account of an increase in repayments and lower

disbursals (YoY).

Asset quality (GS-III) for most players is likely to be optically stable, as most

accounts turning delinquent after the completion of the moratorium would not

have crossed ninety days past due and the Supreme Court order on the

classification of accounts as NPAs. However, this would be subject to judicial

outcomes on the matter, and NBFCs could voluntarily classify accounts as non-

performing.

We have factored in elevated provisions across our coverage (on a YoY basis).

Despite a fall in their cost of funds, we expect these companies to register stable to

declining NIMs on account of higher liquidity maintained by them. Operating

efficiency metrics are likely to deteriorate sequentially.

We will watch for commentary around (1) collection trends, (2) movement in Stage

I and II asset pools and (3) restructuring under the COVID-19 stress resolution

framework. Regulatory/ judicial developments regarding the levy of interest on

loans under moratorium and classification of delinquent accounts as NPA.

2QFY21E: Banks What’s likely Key monitorables

AUBANK

As disbursals are likely to have been tepid, we expect AUM

growth to slow to considerably to 11.5% (+3.5% QoQ)

NII is expected to have grown at 15% YoY (+1% QoQ) with a

sequential dip in NIM.

We expect operating costs to have risen ~8% QoQ.

We expect a 32% YoY PPOP growth after building led by a

6% YoY (down 19% QoQ) rise in non-interest income.

We have built higher provisions (+2.5x YoY, -16% QoQ).

Adjusted PAT to dip 11/13% YoY/QoQ.

Comments on collection efficiency, growth and asset quality

Retail deposit traction.

Sale of stake in AAVAS.

Plans to raise equity capital

AXSB

~10% YoY (+2.5% QoQ) loan growth and a marginal

improvement in NIMs are expected to drive core earnings

growth of 16% YoY (+1.3% QoQ).

Drop in non-interest income (muted core fees and lower

treasury gains) will result in PPOP de-growth of ~5/3%

YoY/QoQ).

We have factored in a ~13% YoY rise in non-tax provisions,

even as AXSB has a calc. PCR of ~75% and additional

contingent provisions.

However, as provisions are expected to be much lower QoQ,

we expect a sharp QoQ rise in PAT (+59%).

BANDHAN

The bank disclosed in its exchange filings that its AUM grew

20/3% YoY/QoQ, and its deposits grew 9% QoQ led by a 12%

rise in CASA deposits.

We expect lower CoF to drive NIM improvement and

consequently, NII is expected to grow 21.9/2.9% YoY/QoQ.

We continue to factor higher provisions (+4.25x YoY, down

27% QoQ) despite the sharp improvement in collection

efficiency and existing provisioning buffers.

Net earnings to dip 26.7% YoY (+29.5% QoQ)

Comments on growth, collections and on-ground business

activities.

PAR trends and approach to/ strategy around restructuring.

CUBK

6% YoY loan growth. Disbursals under the NCGTC scheme

and gold loan disbursals would have contributed to a

majority of incremental credit

As NIMs could dip sequentially, core earnings are expected

to grow at a mere 1% QoQ (+7% YoY).

Drop in non-interest income (lower fees and dip in treasury

gains) and a 4% QoQ rise in opex will drag PPOP (-11.7/-

14.1% YoY/QoQ).

After factoring in higher provisions (+45% YoY, flat QoQ),

net earnings are expected to dip 43/28%.

DCBB

Loan growth is expected to moderate to ~3.3% YoY.

Relatively less risky segments such as home loans and gold

loans are likely to have contributed to a majority of

incremental credit.

We expect core earnings to remain flat YoY (+1.5% QoQ) as

we build QoQ NIM compression.

PPOP to de-grow 3.1/6.5% YoY/QoQ led by lower non-

interest income (down ~37/18%) even as operating expenses

could remain under check (+1.5% QoQ).

We have factored in elevated provisions (+89.5% YoY, down

2% QoQ).

Consequently, we expect PAT to de-grow 21/9% YoY/QoQ.

CIFC

Disbursals could see a sharp sequential rise (albeit lower

YoY). This could be broad-based (LCVs, 2 wheelers, and

PVs and disbursals under the NCGTC scheme and

disbursals under the NCGTC scheme). However, they are

likely to be significantly lower YoY.

Consequently, we expect AUM growth of 9.9/2.7%

YoY/QoQ.

The recent capital raise and reduction in CoF are likely to

facilitate margin improvement, despite higher on balance

sheet liquidity.

We build 14.6/5.3% YoY/QoQ NII growth.

After factoring in a 9% QoQ rise in operating expenditure,

we expect PPOP to grow at 3% QoQ (+6% YoY).

We have conservatively factored in a 72% QoQ rise in

provisions, and we thus expect PAT to de-grow 3% QoQ

(+35.9% YoY).

Disbursals under the NCGTC scheme

CREDAG

We expect loan growth of 48% to drive NII growth of 51.1%

YoY (but just 20bps QoQ).

A fall in CoF should be beneficial for margins; however, the

impact of this would be partly offset by higher liquidity.

We build a PPOP growth of 56.4% YoY (but a decline of

5.3% QoQ, as a result of a sequential rise in operating

expenditure on account of an increase in business volumes).

We have conservatively built in higher provisions, even as

the company has seen a significant improvement in

collection efficiency. Consequently, we expect PAT to come

in ~25% lower YoY (+1.4% QoQ).

YoY numbers are not comparable due to the acquisition of

MMFL.

with borrowers.

Outlook on growth.

Comments on the imminent merger with MMFL and

INDOSTAR

We expect negligible disbursals and ~1% QoQ AUM de-

growth (+8.9% YoY growth).

Slower AUM growth and higher balance sheet liquidity will

result in NIM compression. We expect NII to de-grow by

21% YoY.

We have factored marginally higher operating expenditure

(+2.6% QoQ).

PPOP to dip 49% YoY and 2.3% QoQ.

Provisions are expected to remain stable QoQ, as the

company.

We thus expect PAT to dip21.5% YoY and 17.4% QoQ

What’s Likely Key monitorables

MMFS

We expect a sequential uptick in disbursals and AUM

growth of 13.4/1.3% YoY/QoQ.

We have factored in NII growth of 11.7/2.9%.

Operating costs are likely to see a sequential rise on account

of improving business volumes.

Provisions are expected to dip YoY and QoQ, on the back of

elevated provisions in 4QFY20 and 1QFY21.

Consequently, we expect PAT to grow 12.5/81.7%

YoY/QoQ.

Comments on collection efficiency and on-ground business

activity

The utilisation of restructuring schemes

Outlook on growth

SHTF

SHTF is likely to see a sharp sequential recovery in

disbursals (albeit lower YoY). However, on account of an

improvement in repayment rates, AUM growth will be

restricted to 1.5% QoQ (+4.9% YoY).

NIMs are likely to compress due to higher liquidity levels

and relatively sticky CoF; NII to de-grow ~7.3% YoY (flat

QoQ).

With the rise in business activity, operating expenditure is

expected to rise on a sequential basis.

We continue to factor in elevated provisions (+27.8% YoY;

albeit lower QoQ), despite the significant buffer of COVID-

19 related provisions created.

We expect PAT to de-grow by ~36.7% YoY (+51% QoQ, on a

smaller base).

Outlook on growth

Views on the implementation of the Vehicle Scrapping Policy

LICHF

We expect AUM growth of 5.5% YoY (+2% QoQ) and a

sequential uptick in disbursals.

A fall in CoF is likely to facilitate an improvement in NIMs.

We expect NII growth of 3% QoQ (flattish YoY).

We expect PPOP to grow 6.3% at QoQ after factoring in a

~4.9% rise in operating expenditure.

As provisions have been volatile, we have factored in an

88% QoQ rise. This poses a risk to our estimates on either

side.

PAT to de-grow 5.5% QoQ (flat YoY).

Outlook on provisioning requirements and margins

REPCO

We expect AUM growth of 5.7% YoY (+1.4% QoQ). Growth

in REPCO’s core home loan portfolio is likely to be higher

than that in its LAP portfolio.

A sequential dip in NIMs is likely to culminate into

sequentially flattish NII (+~8% YoY).

A gradual rise in QoQ will keep PPOP growth flattish QoQ

(+5% YoY).

We have factored in higher provisions (down QoQ)). This

poses a risk to our estimates on either side.

PAT to de-grow at 35.6% YoY (flat QoQ).
