With both having done in 4QFY17, the sale to ARC of their NPA book was the start of this new phase in SIB as they have laid to rest some of the uncertainty leading to stressed assets. After the peaking of incremental NPAs at Rs16.9bn in FY17 (3.9% of gross incremental slippage), we expect the same to drop to Rs9.2bn (1.9%) in FY18 and further to Rs6.9bn (1.2%) in FY19 leading to lower provisions and improving PPOP. We are revise upwards our income, PPoP and earnings assumptions for FY18 & FY19 by 2 5%. Sale to ARCs, expected recovery higher than normal: SIB in Q4FY17 sold to ARC a bouquet of assets to the extent of Rs16.5bn with book value of Rs12bn and carried provisions of Rs4.5bn and additional hit of ~Rs1.0bn which will amortised over four quarters. The bouquet consisted of Iron and steel assets of 30%, EPC assets of 20%, Auto ancillary assets of 11.5%, Ship building assets of 5% and many smaller accounts contributing to 34% of assets sold. While we expect to see some provisioning shortfall for the assets in Steel, EPC, auto ancillary and ship building to the extent of 40 50% or so, the smaller accounts are well covered with adequate security. Hence in our view, the provisions on the SRs is likely to be low at 30 35% as it already carries a decent provision cover of Rs4.5bn. Problems addressed, incremental slippages to be lower: The bank had been grappling with addressing the issue of corporate slippages for the last three years. With the lessons learned and the focus returning to their strength i.e. the mid corporate/sme and retail, we expect the credit growth to be robust at 15% 16% in FY18 & 17% in FY19 and above industry growth rate. And with incremental slippages trending lower, with the provision requirements to start slowing down from later half of FY18.

2 Stressed accounts down to Rs6.05bn: Apart from the NPAs, the total stressed accounts were to the extent of Rs6.05bn as at March 2017, of which Rs3.09bn were already under restructured accounts. We are comfortable in our estimate in slippages, and we believe the growth in retail and SME should more than offset for the reversal in corporate advances. Focussed management, CEO continuity for another three years: The MD&CEO Mr VG Mathews had been in the helm for the last three years. However, better part of the last three years has been spent mostly on addressing the NPA/stressed assets issue. This had led to consolidation in the business growth of SIB, underperforming the peers during this period. With a firm solution to the NPAs/stressed assets, we expect the bank to return to the growth segments in SME/retail though the corporate loan growth is likely to be anaemic as the focus has shifted. Return ratios to improve after hitting a trough in FY17: The ROAs which were at % in FY12/13 had dropped to below % in FY16/17. We expect to see a steady improvement going forward to reach 0.72% in FY18 and 0.83% in FY19. We also believe this leaves ample scope for further improvements going forward as they see the provisioning reduce and slippages reduce. Cheapest banking stock, Rerating warranted. TP raised upwards to Rs37: With the incremental slippages to be lower, lesser amount of provisions going forward from 2HFY18, better growth in lending and with comfortable CAR, improving ROAs and profits, we expect to see SIB move out of the low valuation range the bank has been trading at. We expect SIB to trade at 1.3x FY19 (from our earlier target multiple of 1.0x FY19 ABV) with a revised Target Price of Rs37 (earlier TP Rs28) and maintain our BUY stance. The stock remains one of the cheapest in the sector with attractive risk reward.
