1 Steady quarter, margin outlook seems more than cautious January 25, 2011 Abhijit Majumder Umang Shah Rating BUY Price Rs1,084 Target Price Rs1,377 Implied Upside 27. Sensex 19,151 (Prices as on January 24, 2011) Trading data Market Cap. (Rs bn) 1,209.0 Shares o/s (m) 1, M Avg. Daily value (Rs m) Major shareholders Promoters 0.0 Foreign 39.23% Domestic Inst % Public & Other 37.34% Healthy operating performance, stable asset quality: s PAT grew by 30.5% YoY and 16.2% QoQ to Rs14.4bn, above our as well as street expectations, on account of healthy Net Interest Income (NII) growth and lower credit costs during the quarter. NII at Rs23.1bn grew by 12.3% YoY and 4.9% QoQ on account of 15.3% YoY and 6.4% QoQ increase in advances, coupled with stable reported margins at 2.6%. However, the interest income during the quarter includes interest on income tax refund to the tune of Rs0.53bn, adjusting for which margins could have been slightly lower by ~5bps. Despite lending rate hikes increase in overall yields remains restricted on account of Rs143.9bn worth investments in the low yielding RIDF bonds, which pull down the overall yields. Deposits grew by 10.2% YoY but declined 2.4% QoQ. CASA ratio remained largely stable QoQ at ~44% as CASA deposits declined marginally by 1.9% QoQ. Healthy 2.1% QoQ increase in savings bank deposits was offset by a 9.3% QoQ decline in the current account balances due to unavailability of IPO floats, available in the previous quarter. Fee income grew by 14.3% YoY and 2.2% QoQ. However, mark to market losses in some of the equity and proprietary investments resulted in negligible treasury gains. Employee expenses increased steeply by 21.8% QoQ on the back of certain provisions towards employee benefits provided for coupled with the full 90day impact of the costs of BoR employees. GNPAs remained largely flattish QoQ, while provision coverage improved to 71.8% from 69% in. No fresh restructuring was done during the quarter resulting into a marginal 1. QoQ decline in the outstanding restructured portfolio to Rs25.6bn (1.2% of advances v/s 1.3% of advances in ).

2 Consolidated profit growth strong on the back of change in accounting policy in life insurance business: s consolidated PAT grew strongly by 77.5% YoY and 46.2% QoQ on account of transfer of Rs3.8bn worth surplus from nonparticipating policyholder s funds due to the change in IRDA guidelines. Securities business reported a healthy 20.7% QoQ increase in profits, although it declined by 5.4% YoY. ICICI Venture too reported a strong increase in bottomline, while the profit growth for the general insurance and AMC businesses remained sluggish. Valuations and Outlook: continues to deliver on its guided strategy of improving on 5C s. While the balance sheet growth has returned, the margins are likely to remain under pressure, which is line with the industry trend. We factor in margin compression for coming few quarters as the bank would likely mobilize higher low yielding agri and rural assets to meet the priority sector targets in the current quarter, which could keep yields under pressure. However, in the medium term we expect margins to improve as incremental spreads on overseas assets expand; domestically bank could focus on mobilizing high yielding assets and as part of the asset book gets re priced with a lag. All these factors together should provide some cushion to margins from Q2FY12 onwards. We are revising our earnings estimates upwards by 5.8% for FY11 as we lower our credit cost assumptions for the year, given that the bank holds excess standard asset provisions to the tune of Rs4.0bn on its balance sheet. This coupled with early achievement of the 7 provision cover (v/s March 2011 deadline) should reduce the pressure on earnings in the current quarter. Although concerns over margins could act as an overhang on the stock in the near term, we maintain our positive view on the stock from a medium to long term perspective. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock and marginally revise our price target upwards to Rs1,377 from Rs1,365 earlier. January 25,
