Core retail book growth continue to be slow at 9.6% YoY, but disbursement trends are showing signs of improvement, while company has been able to arrest its pre payment rate which was under pressure from high compeition. Competitive landscape continues to be tough which was evident in yield pressures especially in LAP, while LICHF has been able to mitigate pressure benefitting from lower cost of funding. We retain Accumulate with revised PT of Rs630 (from Rs535), based on 2.4x (from 2.0x) Mar 18E ABV as we lower our COE. Earnings supported by lower provisions: NII growth was better than expectation at Rs8.65bn up ~21% YoY on back of improved margins by 7bps QoQ to 2.68%. Margins improvement was largely on back of lower cost of funds of 14bps QoQ to 8.94% with incremental cost moving down by 30bps QoQ to 8.4%. Better income was slightly offset by lower processing fees and higher employee cost on providing for arrears. We believe, spreads are likely to be stable from here on with the shift to floating rates for old fixed rate loans giving a higher spread than the newer loans on core retail portfolio which is slightly lower yielding. Core mortgage portfolio growth still slower: Core retail loan growth remained slower at ~9.6% YoY, while LAP book continued grow faster at 7.3% QoQ. But disbursements to both core retail & LAP book were on improving trend with 23% QoQ growth. Prepayment rate has been arrested, improving by 60bps of opening book to 10.9%, which was inching upwards on high competition. Management expects overall loan growth of 15% 16% in FY17 with focus on growing core mortgage with new floating products. Asset quality remains stable with slight improvement in individual book: Asset quality remained stable with GNPAs at 0.57%, up 2bps QoQ and NNPAs at 0.28%, flat QoQ. Individual GNPA saw slight improvement to 0.32% of loans down 3bps QoQ. We do not foresee any asset quality issues from the non core mortgage book.

3 Key Q2FY17 Concall Highlights Assets pricing/growth/outlook: Loan growth Outlook: LICHF targets overall loan growth of 15% for FY17 and is on track, while targeting individual loan growth of 15 16% (incl. LAP book). Core loan growth outlook Increasingly focusing on growing core loan book. Company has new floating rate products in home loan segment to central government employees and other newer products are on the way. This will benefit its core retail portfolio in coming 6 to 7 quarters. Individual loans disbursements have seen strong disbursements in this quarter up 26.6% QoQ. Non core loan portfolio Share of LAP portfolio has increased by 40 bps to 9.7% of loans. Floating portfolio Pure floating portfolio has increased to 61% from 56% in Q1FY17 mainly due to pure floating rate schemes launched recently and also some contribution from fixed to floating rate products. Going ahead, the pure floating portfolio is expected to be more than 70% by end FY17. Re pricing Have re priced Rs60 bn of loans in this quarter thus totalling to Rs90 bn of loans as on H1FY17. Rs bn of loan is likely to come for re pricing in FY17, while ~Rs150bn was re priced in FY16. Liabilities pricing/growth/outlook: The company will increase its share of borrowing in CP going forward due to lower rates but this will be subject to ALM position. Also will target to increase share of retail deposits from 3.6% in Q2FY17 to 5% in the medium term. Rs70 bn of NCDs will get matured over next two quarters and Rs150bn in the next one year. Margins/Yields: Margins should see some improvement (i) further room in lower cost of funds (ii) sustainable non core individual book (LAP/LRD) which has been on basis of quality build up. Incremental origination yields on core portfolio is at 9.4%, while re pricing of loans from fixed to floating are happening at ~9.9 10%. On LAP book, incremental origination remains stable at 11.5% and developer book origination yields also remain stable at 13 14%. Asset Quality: Asset quality is quite stable in retail segment and do not expect further slippages from developer portfolio in the near term. GNPA Ratio goes down to 0.57% and NNPA Ratio remains stable at 0.28%. October 21,

4 Others: Processing fees have come down both on YoY and QoQ basis mainly because they are charged on LAP products have seen lower disbursement this quarter. LICHF continues to be comfortable with capital with Tier I close to 14%. LICHF can further increase its leverage, and also requires lesser capital on lower RWAs for lower ticket size assets.
