About: LIC is the single-largest shareholder in LIC Housing with a stake of 40.31% as on Mar 30, 2020. It is India's second-largest housing finance company, with 9 regional offices, 23 back offices, and 273 marketing units in India, and 2 overseas representative offices (1 each in Dubai and Kuwait), as on March 31, 2020. LIC Housing benefits from LIC's strong brand equity, access to its agency network for origination of loans, and funding support. LICHF reported 4Q20 Net Income of ` 4.2bn (down 39% y/y; ROE: 9.5%) on lower margins and higher operating cost with a positive offset on credit costs. Operating profit at ` 8.9B was down 18% y/y Asset quality worsened slightly with Stage 3 Assets rising to 2.8% (+10bps q/q). AUM growth was 8% y/y with individual loan growth at 9.4% y/y. High leverage (~12x) and relatively low Tier 1 capital vs. peer group (Tier 1: 12.5%) are the key negatives. These get offset by Stage 2 assets which declined ~100bps QoQ to 4.7% and LICHF's access to diverse funding sources remains robust as seen in almost ` 270B capital raising (48% of incremental borrowings) done via debt markets in F20 given the parentage
