CASA franchise continued to improve partly helped by demonetisation and expect some CASA to remain in the bank. Valuations at 2.8x FY18E & 2.3x FY19E P/ABV looks attractive with significantly better growth & better asset quality holding up. We have increased our business growth assumptions and lowered credit cost, leading to 3 5% increase in earnings for FY17E/FY18E. We maintain BUY with increased PT of Rs1,595 (up from Rs1,318) based on Sep 18E ABV (rolled over from Mar 18E). NII strong but fees slightly weak: NII growth was strong at 30% YoY on back of robust loan growth of 38% YoY. Fees were slightly tepid mainly from slowdown in corporates & trade, while other income was driven by strong treasury gains. Bank was able to improve its margins by 10bps sequentially to 3.5% as some benefit accrued from lower cost of funds. We expect margins to be stable at 3.5% despite relatively higher rates offered by Yes on its SA balances as the competitive intensity remain high. Pick up in fee income will be key monitorable in next few quarters. Loan growth led by corporate book; slight effect of demonetisation on retail: Demonetisation slightly affected the retail & SME piece especially in MFI & Micro SME which saw de growth, but overall loan book growth of +38% YoY was led by strong growth in corporate book (up 42% YoY & 8% QoQ). Bank saw loan mix tilting towards corporate to 69% mainly as bank has been incrementally buying PSLCs for PSL shortfall rather than asset buying in retail PSL, but management expects this phenomena to be a steady feature till own sourced PSL grows. Slight deterioration in asset quality on lower recovery/upgrades: GNPL/NNPL increased marginally by 2bps/0bps to 0.85%/0.29% respectively with slightly improving PCR to ~66% from 65%. Credit cost was 40bps for 9MFY17 lower than the guidance of 50bps (lower in Q2). Slippages were comparatively lower at Rs1.26bn but recovery/upgrades were also lower. The Bank did not see any material addition to the other stressed assets like 5/25, restructured except for one account in SDR.

3 Q3FY17 Concall Highlights: Assets & Liability franchise: Assets Outlook Will continue to showcase higher growth Retail/SME assets Demonetisation has had some effect on MFI book and business banking. Collections in MFI has been +90% throughout but has seen de growth. Retail disbursements were strong in October, while Nov (post demonetisation) saw some decline but December was the strongest (Rs10bn). In SME book, Micro SME has seen higher impact from demonetisation, while medium SMEs grew reasonably well especially in December 16 and large SME saw some slowdown. Management is confident that disbursements in SME will improve further in Q4FY16 as they have seen pick up in January. Corporate assets Corporate book seeing good opportunities from financing the M&A deals and its International Banking Unit (in GIFT city; book of Rs55 bn) has seen strong loan growth. Yes also have also started buying PSLCs which is expensed out in P&L compared to earlier manner of buying of PSL assets reflected in the Balance sheet. The change in the manner of buying PSLCs has now shifted loan share towards corporate. Liabilities CASA growth has been strong due to demonetisation, while also regular addition of customer acquisition was seen. Is in process of reviewing interest rate (effective from Feb 17) on SA balances which is currently at 6% & 6.5% but not decided on threshold rate. Believe that once the CASA reaches 40%, want to move the SA rates in line with peers. NIMs/Funding cost: Margins improved 10bps sequentially to historical high of 3.5% from higher benefit on cost of funds, with strong loan book growth supporting yields. Average rate of SA remains at slightly above 6%. Fees/Treasury/Opex/Branches: Fees/Treasury Fees was slightly softer mainly from corporate trade & banking fees, while in retail, trade remittance fee was slightly soft but saw strong accretion in other segments. Bank booked Rs1.2bn of treasury gains during the quarter. Branches/Opex/Employees Other opex continues to be high as Bank has been buying PSLCs which is accounted in other opex. Bank saw impact of Rs270mn in Q3FY17 and this would become more of a permanent phenomenon till they build in their own PSL book.. January 20,

4 Asset quality: Impaired assets Witnessed incremental slippages of Rs1.27 bn in Q3FY17, while the reductions were lower by Rs373 mn. Restructured book remained steady at 0.43% of loans and has not seen any additions. SDR book saw one account getting added (from Construction) of Rs1.6bn taking outstanding to Rs1.94bn while 5:25 refinancing continues to stand at Rs1.03 bn. Outstanding SRs stands at 0.22% of loans. Credit cost Credit cost for Q3FY17 was 8bps (32bps annualised ) much below their guidance of 50 60bps.
