Banking Financial Services Edelweiss Dec 2007

Preface
Preface
Financial services: The next wave of services-led growth We, at Edelweiss, believe that banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) is the third wave of growth in India, after software (IT) and telecom services. The BFSI space is continuously evolving, offering immense opportunities to financial intermediaries to create substantial value by constantly redefining boundaries, entering into adjacent markets, and innovating. Core to our hypothesis is our belief that over the next three years, nominal GDP (ex-agri) is expected to grow at 14-15% and revenues from the financial services sector (which will lead this growth) are expected to grow at 22% during FY08-11E. We believe that the current stage of economic growth in India, where savings and capital formation are at ~32% of GDP, offers serious opportunities in financial intermediation through banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension funds, brokers, and investment banks to create substantial value. How to cash in on this opportunity? In the past 12 months, specialty finance companies have returned 127%, private sector banks 76%, and the Bankex 51%, compared to the Sensexs return of 37%. Both value (PSU banks) and growth (private banks, brokerages, and NBFC) opportunities are available in the BFSI space, and we are overweight on growth stocks considering the emergence of high growth sub-segments like insurance, brokerage, debt capital market, and distribution. We also believe that the consolidation theme among banks will play out over the following two years and therefore, re-rating of small private banks offers serious return potentials. At current valuations, we like Kotak Mahindra Bank, State Bank of India, Yes Bank, and SREI Infrastructure. Lending: Momentum to continue After a scorching pace of 30% plus in the past two years, credit growth has normalized to 23% currently, which is still on the higher side. The competitive landscape amongst banks has changed in the past two years with PSU banks upgrading their technology and product portfolio and giving private peers stiff competition. We expect credit growth of 20-22% over the next two years with retail and corporate lending leading the demand. Specialty finance companies have been able to post strong disbursement growth with banks slowing down in selected segments like mortgages. Equity brokerage: Strong pick up likely Over the past four years, institutional volumes (FIIs and MFs) have outpaced retail volume growth, registering 70% plus CAGR over FY04-07 (against industry-wide volume growth of 40%), now constituting roughly 35% (estimated) of the total trading volumes. We expect the institutional growth trajectory to remain strong and pick up higher share of trading volumes, along with higher retail participation. We expect market cap/GDP to improve further with more companies raising money. Investment banking: Favourable outlook with healthy pipeline The outlook for investment banking appears favourable, considering the robust M&A pipeline, healthy issuance calendar, and conducive capital market environment. We believe investment banking activities will be supported by Indias long-term structural growth story, rapid scale up in capital goods/ infrastructure investments (clearing off historical backlog), and increased proportion of global savings pool being directed towards emerging markets (particularly India).
Profile of participating companies
Asset management: Leveraging the platform The mutual fund (MF) industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Indian financial market. The industry has recorded ~50% CAGR in the past three years, managing over INR 5.5 tn (USD 139 bn) of assets as at October 2007. Despite this stupendous growth, household savings invested in MFs are less than 1% of total financial assets. Industry-wide AUMs constitute ~10% of GDP, against 30-60% in developed countries. We expect 29% CAGR over FY07-10E in domestic AUMs on the back of high savings rate, per capita income growth, and favourable demographics. Life insurance: Upside risks exist Emergence of Unit Linked Plans (ULIPs), aggressive distribution strategies adopted by private players, and buoyant capital markets attracted greater share of household savings in life insurance premiums (penetration is relatively low at ~3% of GDP). Consequently, APE recorded 35% CAGR during FY0307 and 54% in H1FY08 over H1FY07. Going forward, we expect APE to grow at 28% CAGR over FY07-10E. This growth will be driven by ballooning ticket size, innovative product launches, expansion in distribution network, and deeper insurance penetration.

AXIS BANK
Future perfect
Loan growth ahead of industry
INR 919
Axis Bank has registered buoyant loan growth on a balanced portfolio, skewed towards corporate advances than retail (compared to private peers). Retail advances contributed 24% to the total loan portfolio in FY07. Thus, the bank has relatively better scope for aggressively expanding across segments where it has a low presence. It is also spreading across geographies, targeting presence in more than 75% of Indias districts in the next five years. Its loan book is expected to grow at a brisk pace of 40% plus in FY08E with SME, agri, housing, and personal loan segments likely to be the key growth engines. Axis Bank continues to target opportunities emerging in corporate banking, especially in SME and agri business. Also, expanding its international presence is a high priority. Improving margins to boost bottom line Axis Banks margin is relatively low compared to peers. It is, however, making efforts to narrow the gap by improving the CD ratio and developing high-yield assets. The bank has a healthy deposit franchise with 45% (Q2FY08) being low-cost deposits. On a conservative basis, we expect the bank to improve its interest margins from the current level of 2.6%. Strong non-interest income growth Rapidly growing franchise and new product offerings, specifically credit cards, are likely to drive growth in retail fee income. The bank is also intensifying efforts to penetrate the remittance business by aggressively spreading its international operations. Among other key contributors to fee income will be project advisory, debt syndication, and third party distribution of insurance. New ventures for the bank include launching an infrastructure private equity fund and an asset management business. We expect the banks overall fee income to grow at ~35% CAGR in the next two years. Best-in-class asset quality Axis Bank continued to maintain extremely low gross NPA ratio of 0.95% and net NPA ratio of 0.55% in Q2FY08. We expect asset quality to remain in this range for the next two years. Valuations

BANK OF INDIA
Consistent performer
Business growth sustained on a consistent basis
INR 330
Bank of India (BoI) has grown its balance sheet by 19% CAGR from FY04-07 to INR 1.414 bn (INR 1,500 bn for Q2FY08) to become the fifth largest PSU bank in India. Loan growth has been impressive at 23% to ~INR 850 bn (INR 960 bn for Q2FY08), while total deposit growth has been lower at 19% to INR 1,200 bn (INR 1,295 bn for Q2FY08) in this period. International business contributes 20% to the balance sheet. While contribution of international deposits to the deposit book has been increasing from 16% in FY04 to 20% in FY07, international credit books contribution to total loan book has decreased from 24% in FY04 to 20% in FY07, thereby helping improve the margins. Consistent improvement in operating parameters Despite CASA ratio declining by 230bps to 32% in the past two years, BoI has been able to improve its margins by ~40bps to 2.9%. After providing for higher provisions for investments in FY05 and aided by lower provisioning requirements, the banks RoA has improved from 0.4% in FY05 to 0.9% in FY07. With the current high leverage, the bank posted RoE of 21% for FY07. Significantly, gross NPA has declined in absolute value from INR 37 bn (5.5%) in FY05 to INR 20 bn (2.0%) in Q2FY08. Slippages have declined from ~3% in FY05 to 1.5% in FY07. As of Q2FY08, net NPA was at 0.75% giving comfort in provision coverage at 74%. Active recoveries during the past few years led to lower provisioning requirements as it has declined by 7% in this period despite strong growth in balance sheet. Equity capital raising plans in place BoI had announced Tier 1 equity capital (7.1% for Q2FY08) raising plans, which will dilute ~5% of governments holding. This dilution will help in raising ~INR 6 bn of capital, but given the recent appreciation of the stock, we believe the dilution will be much lower than expected. Valuations The bank is currently trading at 2.8x FY07 book and 14.0x FY07 earnings. It has posted H1FY08 profits of INR 7.4 bn compared to INR 11 bn in FY07. Given the higher equity leverage, the bank posted RoE 21% for FY07 which will reduce post dilution. We like the bank for its current business model which focuses on India as well as abroad, strong balance sheet which we believe can support larger transaction critical for cross border deals, its extensive branch network, and clean asset quality.

Key risks With asset quality reaching its peak, we believe provisioning requirement for the bank will rise from current levels. Focus on building a balanced sheet could result in margin compression given the competitive environment outside India.

CITY UNION BANK

On the growth path
Robust business growth
INR 234
November 29, 2007
City Union Bank (CUBK) has grown its balance sheet impressively by 19% CAGR from FY0407 to INR 53 bn (INR 61 bn for H1FY08). In this period, the bank grew its loan book by 29% CAGR to INR 33 bn (INR 38 bn for H1FY08) and deposits by 18% to INR 47 bn (INR 54 bn for H1FY08). Unlike most other banks that had a weak H1FY08, CUBKs YTD growth has been impressive in the loan book as well as in the deposit book at ~15-16%. Above average operating metrics CUBK enjoys higher than peer margins which is maintained at ~3.6%, despite its balance sheet growth. This is mainly due to the higher pricing power it enjoys in its asset book which is focussed on SME segment. CASA ratio is in line with regional players at 24%. As of Q2FY08, gross NPA of the bank was at 2%, declining from 10% in FY04, while net NPA is currently at 0.85% from 6.4% in FY04. Capital raising gives adequate head room for growth CUBK has had Tier 1 capital in of 10% for FY04-07 and in Q2FY08 the bank diluted ~26% of pre-issue equity capital to fund balance sheet growth increasing its networth by INR 1.25 bn through a mix of preferential allotment to L&T, LIC, and QIP. We do not expect any plans to raise capital in the next two-three years.

Company description CUBK is one of the strong performing regional banks in India. As of FY07, the bank has over 160 branches, with ~90% being in South India (70% of the total branches in Tamilnadu). As of FY07, the bank has a balance sheet of INR 53 bn. It has consistently generated one of the highest returns on assets, which is ~1.6% for FY05-07, because of its higher pricing power to its borrowers. Key risks Competition pressure can force the bank to grow at the cost of margins, which is one of the highest in the industry. Further rise in interest rates can lead to deterioration of asset quality from current levels and higher provisioning requirements. Operating costs/assets remain one of the highest in the industry.

Aiming high
Pact with DBS Bank of Singapore: A big leap
INR 202
November 29, 2007
In the first full year of its operations after the Murugappa Group joined hands with DBS Bank of Singapore, Cholamandalam DBS Finances disbursements grew 96% to INR 25.6 bn in FY07 and its AUMs grew 95% to INR 45 bn. Such a big leap in disbursements over FY02-06 was buoyed by significant growth in consumer finance business (personal loans and business finance) and pilot launch of home equity business in four metros. We believe the gained traction will continue going forward with improved market share in used vehicle financing, and further scale up in consumer finance and home equity loan businesses. Product mix being managed prudently to improve spreads In the vehicle finance business, the company is actively pursuing a strategy to improve the share of used vehicles and mini light commercial vehicles in overall disbursements to benefit from higher yields, while continuing to leverage market growth in the new vehicles market. In FY07, new vehicle disbursements remained more or less flat at INR 7.5 bn, while used vehicles and three-wheeler disbursements grew by 88% to INR 9.7 bn. The company is also focused on increasing the proportion of personal loans, enterprise loans, and home equity loans (incremental yield of 13-14%) in its loan portfolio. Fee-based businesses to be new focus area With strategies in place to set up its fund-based business on a new growth trajectory, the company will now focus on improving growth and value contribution from its fee-based businessesasset management, distribution, and securities broking. Growth in the consumer finance business and substantial increase in customer base will provide immense opportunities to cross-sell various fee based-products and services. Valuations We believe the companys operating performance will improve going forward considering its ability to leverage on the expertise of DBS, scale up in distribution network, improved productivity from recently launched branches, better asset growth in consumer financing and home equity loans, and higher fee income providing significant kicker to its RoEs. In H1FY08, the company grew its revenues and profits Y-o-Y by almost three fold to INR 2.4 bn and INR 208 mn, respectively. This compares with INR 2.6 bn of revenues and INR 274 mn of profits in FY07. The stock is currently trading at 28.0x FY07 earnings and 2.5x FY07 book.

Company description Incorporated in 1978, Cholamandalam DBS began its operations as a non-banking finance company (NBFC) offering equipment finance to small and medium sized companies in South India. The company today is one of Indias premier NBFCs with assets under management of more than INR 45 bn. Cholamandalam DBS, along with its subsidiaries, offers vehicle finance, personal loans, business finance, home equity loans, loans against shares, mutual funds, securities trading, and distribution of financial products. Vehicle financing continues to dominate its loan portfolio with an asset deployment share of 52%. The personal loans business has achieved significant growth in FY07 and now accounts for 17% of the loan book. Business financing grew by over 150% in FY07, which currently accounts for 20%. The company operates from over 180 locations across India. It has built up a high quality portfolio and has an unbroken dividend payment record of over 25 years. The company moved from being a deposit taking NBFC to a non-deposit taking NBFC in FY07. Its subsidiaries include DBS Cholamandalam Asset Management, the investment manager of DBS Chola MF which manages AUMs of INR 52 bn. DBS Cholamandalam Distribution is the financial products (in-house and third-party) distribution arm of the Group and mobilises more than INR 20 bn of investments in a year. DBS Cholamandalam Securities offers stock broking and equity advisory services to institutional investors and retail customers. Key risks Increased focus on used vehicle financing and increase in interest rates may lead to higher rate of defaults and higher NPAs. Personal loan and home equity loan businesses are at a nascent stage and competition from leading players may pressurise margins and growth. Performance and growth will depend on how fruitfully the company is able to leverage on expertise and risk management abilities of DBS. Execution risk will be a key as the company is aiming a giant leap in its businesses and asset base post joining hands with DBS.

DEWAN HOUSING FINANCE

Niche player
Retail focus; concentrating on low and middle income households
INR 155
November 29, 2007
Dewan Housing Finance (DHFL) distinguishes its business model from other leading housing financiers by providing housing loans to primarily low and middle income households in tier II and III cities. Its disbursements grew by 37% over FY03-07 (higher than industry average of 32%) to INR 14.7 bn and outstanding loan book in FY07 was at INR 33 bn. To achieve scale in a short span of time, it has targeted potential customers belonging to low income groups like municipal and union workers. Loan funds: Dominated by bank loans The company maintained NIMs at 2.8% in FY07 as yield on advances improved ~60bps to 10.5%; but this was partially offset by equivalent rise in cost of funds. Its average funding cost was 8.5% in FY07 as term loans from banks and financial institutions is the major source, constituting more than 67% of its borrowings at the end of FY07. The loans availed from banks qualify for priority sector lending and are drawn at spreads below prime lending rates. Investments explain more than 50% of its market cap DHFL recently picked up 19.9% stake in Wadhawan Food Retail (WFRPL), a promoter group company which currently operates 91 convenience retail stores across the country under the
Spinach brand. WFRPL plans to aggressively increase its retail stores to 1,500 over the next
four-five years and tap the capital market in the next 12-18 months. Our first-cut valuation for WFRPL at INR 11.3 bn translates the value of this investment into INR 37 per share for DHFL. It also holds 1.26% stake in HDIL valued at INR 2 bn (INR 32 per share) at current market price. Market value of other quoted investments and book value of unquoted and MF/VC investments is INR 957 mn (INR 16 per share). Valuations The company has grown its revenues and PAT by 24% and 30% CAGR, respectively, for FY0407 and reported revenue of INR 651 mn and profit of INR 303 mn in H1FY08. The companys net worth stands at INR 4 bn and it generates RoE in the 17-19% range. After adjusting the value of its investments, the stock is currently trading at 1.0x FY07 book and 8.8x FY07 EPS.

Company description DHFL, incorporated in 1984, is a private sector housing finance company offering housing loans, lease rental financing, and reverse mortgage loans to retail customers. Its main focus is on providing loans to the lower and middle income households in tier II and III cities for acquisition or construction of residential properties. The company has introduced Indias first reverse mortgage scheme called Saksham mainly targeted at senior citizens who want to supplement their income without selling their home. It has also ventured into international markets by opening representative offices in Dubai and UAE to cater to the needs of non-resident Indians there. The company also offers property insurance, free accident risk cover, and earthquake protection cover to its customer. As of FY07, DHFL operates in 155 locations comprising 53 main branches, 67 service centres, and 35 camps. Its distribution network is primarily concentrated in western and southern India and it has entered in to an agreement with the Punjab & Sind Bank to increase its presence in North India. Key risks DHFL provides loans to low and middle income households where competition is less intense due to absence of large private banks. Entry of large players in these segments may lead to loss in market share and impact the companys revenue growth and margins. The risk of default is relatively high for the company due to its focus on low and middle income groups, which can be significantly impacted by slowdown in the economy or decline in income levels. The company relies on term loans from banks and financial institutions for funding taken at floating rates and therefore, higher-than-expected rise in interest rates can affect the companys margins.

HDFC has an unbeatable track record of steady, regular, and predictable growth in asset size, earnings, and profitability. We expect the banks loan book, with its strong brand recall and superior real estate knowledge, to grow by 25% CAGR in FY07-09E. Consequently, we expect its revenue and PAT to grow by 26% and 21% CAGR, respectively, over FY07-09E. Spreads likely to be maintained at 2.3-2.5% level HDFC has been proactive in maintaining healthy margins, and with superior pricing power it has been able to pass on the increased cost of funds. Its interest spreads improved to 3.0% due to improvement in yields and decline in the cost of funds due to repaying of high cost borrowings in Q2FY08. We expect its interest spreads to remain at the 2.3-2.5% level over FY08-09E and margins to improve to 3.2-3.4%. Investment in subsidiaries explains ~35% of market cap Besides the core business, HDFCs life and general insurance, AMC, and banking businesses are also growing at a rapid pace. We value HDFCs investments at INR 921 per share with stake in HDFC Bank contributing INR 488 per share, life insurance INR 320 per share, asset management INR 71 per share, general insurance INR 10 per share, and venture capital INR 18 per share. It has recently proposed a 74:26 tie up with a Munich Re Group companyErgo International. The partnership will enable it to gain traction in its general insurance business, which has remained muted over the past two-three years. Valuations After adjusting for the value of the investments, the stock is trading at 5.3x FY09E book and 22.9x FY09E EPS. On SOTP basis the stock is valued at INR 2,763 per share in FY09E and INR 3,217 per share in FY10E.

Strength in investment book; recoveries likely to boost bottom line
INR 158
Novemver 29, 2007
The legacy investments of erstwhile IDBI include a few strategic investments in listed and unlisted entities whose valuations have increased multifold in the past couple of years. Significantly, with every stake sale by other investors setting higher benchmarks, we believe there is substantial steam left in these investments. Unlocking value in these unlisted entities notably that of NSE, NSDL, CARE, SHCL etc., will continue to be a substantial trigger for the stock. The bank has written off accounts of INR 40 bn, of which the management perceives nearly 40-50% as recoverable. However, most of these accounts are sticky in nature and resolving them will take some time. The bank has guided for recoveries of INR 7 bn during the current fiscal. Margin pressure likely to recede IDBI posted net interest margins of 0.75% in FY07, marginally ahead of 0.5% in FY06, but still lower compared to its peers due to the following reasons: (a) investments of INR 90 bn in SASF bonds as part of its NPA restructuring, on which it does not earn any interest; (b) the larger balance sheet of standalone IDBI was funded through high cost market borrowings, which continue to remain on the balance sheet; and (c) slow growth of balance sheet as deposit growth helping re-price borrowings. Network expansion to bring down cost of deposits UWB merger (a substantial part of the merger has been completed) has added 230 branches to IDBIs network, taking the latters total network to ~450. It is in the process of relocating a few of the branches to other places. Also, it has 45 licenses in hand, which the bank plans to utilize in the next two months and take the total branch network to ~500. After opening of these branches, the bank will apply for 100 more branch licenses in the next calendar year. We believe this will help the bank reduce its cost of funds, which was 6.4% for FY07. Valuations Given the current fundamental outlook on interest margins, highly efficient operating metrics (the lowest in the industry because of its legacy balance sheet at less than 1%), and its highly attractive investment book, the return ratios are expected to improve from current levels. The stock is currently trading at 1.8x FY07 book and 2.1x FY07 adjusted book.

Company description IDBI, which was established as Development Financial Institution (DFI), merged its subsidiary IDBI with itself in FY05. Post this merger, the company expanded its reach from ~220 to ~450 branches with the acquisition of loss making United Western Bank. The government of India has 52.7% stake in the bank, while LIC holds 5.6%. The bank has a balance sheet of more than INR 1,000 bn, while its market capitalization is less than INR 120 bn. Key risks Expansion of branch network will remain a key execution criterion to replace its high cost borrowings before we see growth in balance sheet. Ability to unlock value will remain a sticky issue given the legal hazards.

Asset book with a higher focus on vehicle financing; SME lending on the rise
November 29, 2007
IndusInd Bank (IIB) has been growing its asset book conservatively at 15% CAGR from FY0407 relative to its peers. In Q2FY08, its loan book was at INR 120 bn, compared to INR 110 bn in FY07. Vehicle financing fromed 57% of loan book in Q2FY08 (up from 40% of the asset book in FY06 ). CVs and UVs form ~70% of the total vehicle financing book. IIB is also consciously increasing its exposure to SMEs (at 12% as of Q2FY08 from 9% in FY06), while simultaneously reducing its high risk uncollateralized personal loan book (less than 1% of loan book) and low yielding corporate segment (~31% of loan book). Steady increase in liability franchise likely to offset high cost of funds IIB has been steadily increasing its branch network to offset the high cost deposits with more stable and less expensive funds. As in Q2FY08, it had 172 branches, compared to 137 in FY07. Post acquisition of Ashok Leylands finance division(AFL), which will help IIB cross-sell its products; IIB plans to convert a part of AFLs branches into its network. CASA ratio, despite being lower than industry, has increased steadily to 17% in Q2FY08 from 15% in FY07. Upsides on interest margins and asset quality from current levels The banks margins have been subdued at ~1.25-1.5%, mainly due two factorsdependence on high cost deposits and fixed rate in the vehicle financing book. We believe the banks continuous expansion will reduce the dependence on high cost deposits, while re-pricing of older loans at higher rates will help improve margins. The bank is also active in building its fee income with broking income, forex trading, and distribution of third party products. On the asset quality, the bank has booked one off item of ~ INR 1.27 bn as NPAs, which has led to GNPA being at 3.05% for Q2FY08, compared to 2.3% in Q2FY07. Going forward, we expect this to improve with focus on recoveries. Valuations The stock is currently trading at 4.0x FY07 book and 4.4x adjusted book. With the current tier 1 capital of ~7%, the bank may raise capital in the near future to fund growth. We believe IIBs margins are likely to expand from current levels, while focus on fee income is likely to improve RoAs from the current level of ~0.4%.

INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK

Healthy growth
Strength of business model continues
INR 158
November 29, 2007
Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) is the ninth-largest public sector bank in terms of balance sheet size (~INR 820 bn; ~INR 870 bn for Q2FY08) and the fifth most profitable bank in FY07 in India. Amongst PSU banks, it is only behind Syndicate Bank in balance sheet growth in the past two years, which has averaged ~27%. IOB has consciously developed a business model which lends to the high margin SME segment (~40% of loan book). Acquisition of Bharat Overseas Bank has helped the bank scale up its fee income, especially from trade and remittance businesses. IOB has had pressure on margins in the past to fund this strong growth with CASA ratio declining from 32% in Q2FY08 from 39% in FY05. As of Q2FY08, the bank is comfortable on its CD ratio, which implies that there will be reduced pressure to mobilize high cost deposits. Higher than industry profitability IOBs net interest margin was at ~3.7% for FY07 (the highest for any PSU bank), but has declined marginally by ~30bps in Q2FY08, mainly due to decline in low cost deposits. We expect to see some improvement from current levels given sufficient cushion available in the CD ratio and relatively subdued credit outlook from last year. Fee income growth was marginally lower at 16% CAGR for FY05-07 and we believe this will change with the banks focus on increasing core fee income of trading and remittances (with the acquisition of Bharat Overseas Bank) and distribution of third party products. We have forecasted a growth of 20% in core fee income for FY08. Despite the strong growth in balance sheet over the past few years, IOBs balance sheet is healthy with gross NPA (2.1% for Q2FY08) adequately provided (provision coverage of ~83% for Q2FY08) giving net NPA at very comfortable levels of 0.35%. Valuations The stock is currently trading at 1.8x FY08E book and 7.6x FY08E earnings. We like the bank for its high RoE of 25% and RoAs of ~1.25% for FY08E. Given the current cushion in Tier 1 capital, we do not expect the bank to raise capital in the next two years. We expect the bank to generate 23-26% RoE and 13.4% EPS CAGR over FY07-09E.

Company description IOB is a mid-sized PSU bank with balance sheet size of ~INR 850 bn. It has 1,556 domestic branches and over 300 ATMs, and currently 389 branches are under core banking. It is dominantly present in four southern states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. The bank has six overseas branches and aims to grow its share in trade finance and remittance market through BhoB. The banks focus traditionally has been on SME lending, which forms 40% of total credit, which explains its high margins. Government holding is at 61% and foreign holding at maximum permissible 20%. Key risks Aggressive credit growth may lead to higher than estimated NPA, while the loan book bias towards SME could lead to higher risk of asset quality deterioration. More than expected compression in net interest margin with industry wide contraction of low cost deposits.

ING VYSYA BANK

Best of both worlds
Strong regional player; glimpses of a foreign bank in the making
INR 317
November 29, 2007
In contrast to domestic banks limited international presence, and foreign banks lacking reach in semi-urban and rural areas, ING Vysya Bank has a unique advantage as it has simultaneous access to INGs global network and Vysya Banks strong reach in the South India market. The South-based bank has traditionally been strong in SME and retail lending due to its Vysya Bank linkages and has now added private banking and wealth management to its new business initiatives. Most of the operational issues like high cost, technology, employee unionization that were daunting the bank are being/have been taken care of and the asset growth is expected to pick up. Regaining operating normalcy with improved performance in H1FY08 After lower-than-industry growth in the past years (15% in FY07 and 9% in FY06), ING Vysya Bank reported improved Q2FY08 numbers buoyed by provisioning write back and strong balance sheet growth. Historically, the bank has posted lower-than-industry growth rates due to a combination of cautious approach and capital constraint, but with new management team firmly set in place we believe the bank will be able to utilize its strong presence in South India to regain its aggressive growth path. Cost ratios one of the highest; operating leverage to kick in as balance sheet expands Cost to assets ratio at 3.02% in FY07, though has declined from 3.47% in FY06, still remains one of the highest in the industry. This is due to low asset growth over past few years and also due to investment in restructuring of human resources and technology implementation that the bank had undertaken. With bulk of the expenses undertaken, the bank is likely to expand its assets with no commensurate increase in operating expenses. Valuations Given its higher than peer margins and declining cost to assets, RoAs are likely to improve from current levels of 0.53% in FY07. The bank has raised INR 3.5 bn through preferential allotment of ~6 mn shares to ING and QIP of 7.47 mn shares at INR 310. Post this issue, the book value has increased to ~INR 138. The stock is trading at 2.3x present book value and 20.3x annualized FY08E earnings.

Company description ING Vysya Bank was formed by coming together of Vysya Bank, a private sector bank with a strong presence in South, and Dutch Financial major ING in October 2002. The bank currently has 406 branches with 100% of the business under CBS. The bank has been traditionally strong in SME and retail lending, which explains its higher than peer margins. CASA ratio is also respectable at 29% as on Q2FY08. ING took controlling stake in the bank prior to finalizing of foreign shareholding guidelines by RBI and therefore, is the only Indian bank with more than 5% holding by a foreign bank. Key risks Due to high exposure to the SME segment, sharp slowdown in economic growth may result in deterioration in asset quality. Lower-than-expected decline in cost to assets can impact RoA progression.

KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK

At vantage point
Kotak Mahindra Group best-positioned financial intermediary
INR 1,127
November 29, 2007
We believe the Kotak Mahindra Group is the best-positioned financial intermediary to capture the existing and emerging market opportunities in the financial services space due to its ability to enter into adjacent markets. We expect Kotak Mahindra Bank (Kotak) to capitalize its strong position in the rapidly expanding brokerage (8% market share) and investment banking businesses, and extend market share in commercial banking, asset management, and life insurance businesses. Revenues likely to grow at 40% CAGR; shift from agency to annuity business We expect Kotaks consolidated revenues (excluding insurance) to attain 40% CAGR over FY07-10E. In our view, its revenue stream will be dominated by annuity businesses (commercial banking, insurance, and asset management) over the next three years. A growing pie of commercial banking and increasing thrust on fee-based revenues from alternate asset and wealth management services are likely to reduce volatility in Kotaks earnings and valuations. Q2FY08 numbers reaffirm our belief in the stock Kotaks Q2FY08 results were strong100% plus growth in commercial banking business and three-fold rise in profits from securities and investment banking businesses. Its securities business remained buoyant with strong industry wide volume growth and we believe recent P-note guidelines will benefit domestic institutional brokers as it will expand their commission pool. It has a strong investment banking pipeline~INR 70 bn of pending M&A transactions and 12 IPOs in the pipeline including Reliance Power, Titagarh Wagoms, Future Capital, among others.
Market Data Reuters Bloomberg : : KTKM.BO KMB IN
Valuations We like Kotak for its diversified business mix, which offers growth from capital markets in the medium term and strong annuity businesses in the long term. After stripping off life insurances value, the stock is trading at 4.7x FY09E book and 26x FY09E earnings. We arrive at fair value per share on SOTP basis at INR 1,159 in FY09E and INR 1,357 in FY10E. Possible upsides to our fair value can flow from increased stressed assets recovery, better-than-expected investment banking and securities trading volume.

Company description Kotak is Indias leading full services financial conglomerate, dominating the securities and investment banking space; it is currently focused on growing its banking, asset management, and insurance businesses. It began operations in 1986 as a bill discounting and leasing NBFC under Kotak Mahindra Finance and converted itself into a bank in 2003. The group has a widespread presence across 320 cities and services close to 2.9 mn customer accounts. Kotak Securities has a network of 856 offices, Kotak Mahindra Bank has 133 branches, and Kotak Life has 93 branches. The group has a decent platform to cross sell its products across the group, given its presence through the financial spectrum. Kotak Securities has 8.1% market share in the overall market volumes and is one of the prominent domestic investment bankers. Amongst commercial banks, it is still in a nascent stage with 0.67% share in advances and 0.46% share in deposits. It is developing its presence in asset management and insurance businesses, where it has 3-4% market share. Key risks More than one-third of Kotaks revenues and almost half of its profits are derived from capital marketlinked businesses. Therefore, we believe the key industry risk includes any unfavourable developments in the capital market such as a downturn in Indias equity, reduced foreign interest, decline in trading volumes, investment banking pipeline failing to materialize, and lower AUM flows, which could adversely affect our growth assumptions and hence, valuations. We believe intense competition from global and local players in equity markets may pose a major challenge for Kotak to maintain its market share and leadership position. Loss of key personnel could disrupt the companys operations and client relationships. Our numbers build in expansion in branch network, and therefore, improvement in the low-cost deposit franchise. Delay in execution of these plans could impact our earnings estimates.

MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA FINANCIAL SERVICES

Rural focus
INR 260
Focused on rural segment; poised to take advantage of auto industry growth

November 29, 2007
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services (MMFS) finances purchase of utility vehicles, tractors, and cars, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Around 80% of its branches are in rural areas. We believe the company is well poised to take advantage of the estimated 16% CAGR growth in the organized auto finance market over FY07-11, on the back of immense domain experience and 11-year experience of lending in rural markets. Diversifying product mix to scale up business model The company started its operations by financing Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) vehicles exclusively and has maintained leadership in financing products of its parent company. To reduce its dependence on parents products, it has entered the car finance space and has tied up with Maruti Suzuki India. It is also diversifying into financing two wheelers. Presently, only ~65% of its loan book comprises M&M products. Ventured in insurance broking, retail financing, and third-party distribution To leverage its wide distribution network, large client base of 0.7 mn, to scale up its business growth beyond 20%, and become an integrated rural financial services company, MMFS is taking several initiativeshas ventured into the insurance broking business, third party distribution of mutual fund products, financing two wheelers and personal loans on pilot basis, and has recently commenced mortgage financing. Valuations We believe MMFS is moving towards becoming an integrated rural finance player in the coming years and poised for better future growth considering its rural domain knowledge, extensive branch network, strong parent brand; it is diversifying its product portfolio and also exploring new adjacent markets. It generated RoA and RoE of 2.6% and 18-19% in FY06-07, respectively, and maintained its NIMs in the 8-9% range. The stock is currently trading at 2.8x FY07 and 16.0x FY07 earnings.

Company description MMFS finances purchase of utility vehicles, tractors and cars, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Around 80% of its branches are in rural areas and 21% in semi-urban areas. It is leveraging well on its close association with M&M and its 1,500 plus auto dealer relationships, retaining leadership in financing Mahindra products. Currently, it has a network of over 415 branches covering 25 states and an employee strength of 2,791. The company has also tied up with Maruti Suzuki India for financing Maruti products. On the back of increased demand in UV, tractors, and car segment, MMFS has delivered strong growth in customer contracts, asset size, and profitability. Its asset book grew by 46% CAGR over FY04-07, aiding 41% CAGR in revenues and 25% CAGR in profitability. In the recent past, MMFS has diversified its product portfolio to include insurance brokerage, mutual fund business, and financing two wheeler and personal loans. Promoters hold 68% in the company, stake of FIIs is 25%, and only 5% is with the public. Key risks Currently, private players presence in rural and semi urban India is limited. Entry of large players may impact the companys revenue growth and profitability. The company is highly dependant on parents portfolio and is currently trying to diversify its sources of revenue by entering into new businesses and tie ups with other auto companies. However, most of these initiatives are still at a nascent stage and therefore, subject to execution risks. The company needs to maintain credit rating to avail funds at competitive rates.

Company description Reliance Capital has been actively pursuing growth opportunities in the Indian financial services sector, post demerger and reorganization of the Reliance Group, to become a leading financial powerhouse. It has undergone significant strategy changes in the past one year, with focus shifting to fast-growing segments in the financial services space, viz., asset management, insurance, brokerage, and consumer financing business from leasing and infrastructure financing. Reliance Capital is Indias largest mutual fund (AUMs of INR 800 bn), and the third-largest general insurer (in terms of gross written premium of INR 9.5 bn in H1FY08). Currently, it is aggressively investing to grow its life insurance business by expanding its distribution franchise and increasing its agent force. The company has recently launched a retail broking venture under the brand Reliance
Money and retail financing business under Reliance Consumer Finance.

Key risks Execution failure is a key business risk, as its value driving businesses are at a nascent stage (life insurance, retail broking, and consumer financing). We have assigned 100% value to its life insurance and broking businesses in our valuation estimates based on our discussions with the management. Though Reliance Capital has 100% economic interest, technically it holds only 16% in Reliance Life and has no direct stake in Reliance Money. Growth in asset management, life insurance, and broking businesses is highly dependant on the conditions in capital markets. Any unfavorable development in markets going forward may hamper our growth assumptions and consequently impact valuations negatively. Intense competitive pressures in any business segment may affect the expected market share and/or margins.

Gaining traction
Securities broking gaining traction; margin funding book of INR 15 bn
INR 501
November 29, 2007
Religare Enterprises (Religare) securities broking business is gaining traction, recording average daily trading volume of ~INR 25 bn in H1FY08, now enjoying 3.9% market share (compared to 2.7% in FY07). Its equity broking business is mainly retail driven, with institutional broking contributing less than 2% to total brokerage income. However, it has increasingly resorted to margin funding relative to its volume and has relatively higher margin funding book of INR 15 bn compared to its peers. The company has a strong presence in portfolio management with AUMs of INR 2.5 bn in H1FY08 and offers wealth advisory services to high net worth individuals. Aggressively expanding its distribution network Religare has added 750 branches in the past 18 months and has increased its client base fourfold to 237,000. With this, it now has a wide network of 1,217 business locations, of which 326 offices are managed by it and the balance by business associates. However, in terms of brokerage contribution, only 22% flows from business associates where it has a revenue sharing agreement of 60:40 on an average. Going forward, it plans to roll out ~100 additional branches from the IPO proceeds over the next two years. Diversifying into more stable fee-based revenue streams To leverage its wide distribution network and client relationships, the company offers financial advisory and distribution services (third party mutual funds and insurance) to its retail clients. It also ventured into consumer financing through personal loans and loans against securities and has disbursed personal loans of INR 805 mn in H1FY08. It has started investment banking activities in this calendar year and has a strong pipeline of investment banking deals, equivalent to generating revenues of INR 200 mn. The company also intends to offer life insurance and pension products through its joint venture with Aegon International. Valuations We expect the company to post 75% CAGR growth in revenues over FY07-09E and record profits of INR 821 mn in FY08E and INR 1.3 bn in FY09E. The stock is currently trading at 46.2x FY08E and 29.2x FY09E earnings.

Highly competitive pressure in the brokerage industry can affect the companys market share and margins.

SHRIRAM CITY UNION FINANCE

Small is beautiful
Unique and sound business model
INR 355
November 29, 2007
We like Shriram City Union Finance (SCUF) for its unique and sound business model, presence in high yielding, high growth, small ticket retail finance segments (consumer durable finance, auto loans, personal loans, business finance, and retail gold loans), and superior sustainable RoEs of 23% plus. In a high growth phase; significant traction in asset growth We believe that with an adequate capitalization (CAR of 24% post equity raising in December 2006), the company will be able to grow its loan book by 67% CAGR over FY07-09E. It will leverage on the customer base of Shriram Groups chit fund entities and will actively spread its wings in western and northern India to grow its personal loans, CDs, and enterprise loans. The concept of chit fund-based lending is gradually losing its sheen and SCUF aims to fill this space by lending to these customers, thereby retaining decades old relationships. Superior RoEs likely to sustain at 23% plus Operating in high yielding retail finance segments, further supported by healthy asset quality, SCUF generated RoEs of 35% plus over FY04-06 and this compressed to 25% in FY07 due to equity dilution (of 55%) and higher commissions. Going forward, we expect RoE to sustain at 23% plus levels, driven by strong operating efficiencies and increased leverage. We are building gradual compression in margins going forward. Proven risk management SCUFs customers are primarily drawn from the groups chit fund entities who are assessed for their track record and repayment capability. Most importantly, the company meets its customers (atleast once a month) to gauge their credit worthiness. Considering the groups expertise in recovery, we believe its gross NPAs are likely to remain at 2.4-2.5% over FY07-09E, and net NPAs at 1.4-1.5%. Valuations We expect the company to grow its EPS (post dilution and warrant conversion) by 35% CAGR over FY07-09E, buoyed by robust asset growth of 62% CAGR and high NIMs of 13-14%. Stock currently trades at 2.4x FY09E book and 11.9x FY09E. Considering SCUFs presence in high growth segments and high RoAs of 3.4-3.7%, we believe the stock deserves higher multiple.

Company description SCUF was incorporated in 1986 as a deposit accepting NBFC. Prior to 2002, it was exclusively engaged in transport finance with special emphasis on financing pre-owned commercial vehicles to small road transport operators. In 2002, it extended its product lines to include small-ticket retail financing, viz., consumer durables, two wheelers, personal and enterprise loans. It deliberately went slow on disbursements in the CV segment which has become a key focus area of its group company Shriram Transport Finance. The companys operations are largely concentrated in southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and western region (particularly Maharashtra). SCUF offers only small-ticket retail products (ranging from INR 25,000-100,000) with shorter tenors (12-24 months) which generate yields in excess of 20%. It leverages on the large investor base (1.2 mn investors) of Shriram Groups chit fund entities to continuously build its asset book and utilizes 465 chit fund outlets for marketing products and collecting loans. The company has been successful in keeping its default rates at lower levels by better assessment of its customers and effective collection of its loans and has maintained best in class NIMs at 14.7%. Key risks SCUF operates in the small-ticket retail finance segment in semi-urban and rural areas and may face stiff competition from banks, other financial institutions, and multinational players which have access to cheap funds. Our earnings estimates may not fructify if the company is unable to maintain its spreads at expected levels of 10-12% due to inability to maintain yields at 22-24% amidst stiff competition. Risk of frauds and NPA accretion is inherent to the retail lending business and NPA provisioning could be higher than our estimates in case of any economic slowdown or dip in income levels.

Metamorphosis
Creating value out of JV with BNP Paribas
INR 185
November 29, 2007
We believe that SREI Infrastructure Finances (SREI) proposed 50:50 joint venture with the BNP Paribas Lease Group (BPLG) for equipment financing and leasing business is highly value accretive. The process is on track with necessary approvals from ROC and the high court in place and is expected to be completed over the next two-three months. Funds from BNP are expected to flow in by the end of the current financial year. The business will gain scalability in CY08 and benefits to the topline and profitability are likely to start kicking in by Q4FY08E. Operating performance likely to improve with BNPs partnership The JV will have net worth of INR 8.0 bn initially. BNP is contributing INR 7.75 bn for its 50% stake in the JV. BPLG as a strategic investor will help capture the huge growth opportunities in business with better margins. We believe the business will get re-rated with the introduction of BPLG. Historically, the stock has been trading at 1.5x trailing book, we value this business at 1.7x book (INR 16.9 bn), considering improvement in margins and RoE. Networth freed to build project financing book Post the de-merger, SREI (parent) will continue to do project financing, advisory, venture capital, investment banking, and equipment rental business (through Quipo). SREIs networth will be freed to build asset book (equivalent to current asset base) without any further dilution. We value the businesses left with SREI at 1.25x book to get INR 10.6 bn (INR 79 per share). SREI Infra has been recently allotted project management and advisory contract from the UP state government for a 1,000 km road project (estimated investment of INR 250 bn) wherein it will be one of the three-four advisors in the deal. On a rough count, total fee of INR 1.5 bn is expected to accrue over four-five years. Valuations We expect SREIs consolidated EPS to grow by 25% to INR 9.6 in FY08E and by 17% to INR 11.2 in FY09E, factoring in warrant issuance, demerger of equipment financing business, and better asset growth. The stock is currently trading at 1.7x FY09E book and 12x FY09E earnings. On SOTP methodology, we value SREIs overall business at INR 22.1 bn (INR 165 per share). Our fair value includes the value of its venture capital business at INR 1.2 bn and value of its stake in Quipo (equipment rental business) at INR 1.9 bn.

Company description SREI is primarily into financing infrastructure equipment and projects as well as renewable energy projects. The company has 52 offices across India and is a market leader in infrastructure equipment financing with a 30% market share. Equipment finance forms a major chunk of SREIs portfolio (around 93%), infrastructure project finance forms around 5-6%, with renewable energy financing making up the rest. Along with the above-mentioned financing businesses, SREI undertakes other businesses through its wholly owned subsidiaries. It is tapping emerging business opportunities in venture capital, asset management, investment banking, and insurance broking through its subsidiaries. SREI also runs a fleet management business through Quipo, to provide equipment on rental basis; it has a 15% stake in Quipo. Key risks A key risk on the upside would be better-than-expected margins and better fee income performance. Ability to refinance its growth is pivotal. Being an NBFC, source of funding for SREI is limited to wholesale funding, securitization, and equity issuance. A spike in interest rates could hamper its margins in case of its inability to pass on the hike to customers.

Value in balance sheet
INR 2,270
The clearance of the SBI Subsidiaries (Amendments) Bill, State Bank of Indias (SBI) capital raising proposal of INR150 bn, and plans to create holding company for its non-banking subsidiaries will lead to value unlocking in investments. Increasingly, the market is slowly focusing on SBIs balance sheet value rather than its profit and loss account, as was the case earlier. Holistic play on Indian economy We believe SBI presents a holistic play on Indian economic growth and is the proxy for the Indian banking industry. Corporate leverage, infrastructure growth, and retail spending will aid the bank grow its loan book by 21% over the next two years. Stable margins and improving fee income will help maintain RoA at ~1% level. Improved leverage will also improve RoE from current 13-14% to 19-20%. Franchise value: Ignored completely SBI has a very strong liability franchise with 39% of its deposits in low-cost deposits. The bank has the largest low-cost deposit base, where it has a 35% market share. As the CASA deposit base tends to be stickier and with improved technology implementation, the banks margins are set to improve as it improves its yield on advances and yield on investments. Life insurance business: Gaining ground SBI Life is the fourth largest life insurer amongst private players in India, with a market share of ~9%. It extensively leverages the SBI Group as a platform for cross-selling insurance products along with its numerous banking product packages such as housing and personal loans. We value the banks stake in life insurance business at INR 216 bn (USD 5.3 bn) on FY08E basis and INR 247 bn (USD 6.03 bn) in FY09E. Valuations We are positive on the bank with it being a default play on the Indian banking space. Also, the non banking subsidiaries, which are growing rapidly, are creating value for the bank. The bank is slowly and steadily regaining its past glory and consequently in our view should re-rate further. The stock is trading at 1.8x FY09E consolidated book (adjusted for subs).

UNION BANK OF INDIA

Steady player
Building a SME focused loan book to protect margins
INR 170
November 29, 2007
Having grown its loan book by ~20% CAGR from FY04-07, Union Bank of India (UBI) was one the first PSU banks to limit loan book expansion (FY07 growth was lower than the system at 15% ) in Q3FY07, to maintain margins. This was evident when it had called back INR 62 bn in Q3FY07lent to low-yield corporate advances. In H1FY08, the loan book grew by 11% Y-o-Y at INR 685 bn. Significantly, nearly 52% of the incremental INR 52 bn credit growth for Q2FY08 is from the SME segment (forms 16% of the banks total loan book), wherein yields are typically in the 11.5-12.5% range. We expect advances to grow 25% in FY08E. Operating efficiency despite large distribution network UBIs operating costs at 1.7% of average assets is only 10bps higher than OBC and Karnataka Bank. However, given the scale of its distribution network as well as its operations, the bank stands as a benchmark in the industry. One of the primary reasons for such high degree of efficiency is its low growth of staff strength which has remained flat at ~26,000 employees in the past five years, while its branch network has increased by 10% and business growth has been in excess of 130% in this period. With technology implementation completed in most of its business branches, we believe that UBI will be able to maintain its staff strength at current levels while other operating expenditure will grow inline with balance sheet growth.
Reuters : : UNBK.BO UNBK IN
Attractive RoE given strong leverage Given the high leverage which is at ~5%, UBI has been utlised its capital well to post RoEs of ~19% for FY06-07. As of Q2FY08, Tier 1 capital was at ~7.4%. We have seen in the past that the bank effectively utilizes its Tier II capital to generate higher RoEs. Given the current expectation of credit growth, we do not expect the bank to raise further capital for the next two years and hence, we believe the bank will be able to post RoEs in excess of 20% for FY08-09E. Valuations Driven by the focus on building higher SME book and backed by its operating efficiency we expect UBI to post RoA of 1% for FY08-09E, while its strong leverage to will help in delivering RoEs in excess of 20%. We have factored credit growth of 21% CAGR for FY08-09E and deposit growth of 17%. We expect EPS to grow by 23% CAGR for FY07-09E and the stock is currently trading at 1.6x FY08E book and 1.3x FY09E book.

Company description Incorporated in 1919, UBI is one of the oldest banks in India. Its network of 2,200 branches and balance sheet size of INR 1,022 bn as in March 2007 are the sixth largest and fifth largest, respectively, in the country. The bank has the most widespread branch network in India (after SBI), with branches distributed evenly across all regions. Around 979 of the banks branches are networked under core banking solution (CBS). The government of India (GoI) has 55.4% equity holding in the bank as in March 2007, followed by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) with 19.9% stake. Key risks Liability management will be a key factor to grow loan book at faster-than-expected rate. Margins may come under pressure, as the bank has a low SLR cushion.
