3QFY19 Result Update Institutional Equities DCB Bank 17 January 2019 Reuters: DCBA.NS; Bloomberg: DCBB IN Decisive Move Into Higher RoE Trajectory DCB Bank (DBL) reported 3QFY19 results with the key pointers being: (1) DBL displayed long-awaited opex control with total opex rising just 5.6% YoY (2) Declining trend in NIM stalled in 3QFY19 with NIM at 3.83%, flat QoQ (3) There was a fraud amounting to Rs 124mn in the AIB business but, overall, there were no major concerns on asset quality (4) Loan growth at 23% was somewhat lower than recent trend growth on account of slower corporate lending. (See detailed conference call takeaways on page 2 for significant incremental colour). Per se, on the key P&L items, DBL posted NII growth of 17% YoY to Rs2,936mn, PPOP growth of 42% YoY to Rs1,738 and PAT growth of 51% YoY to Rs861mn. We have revised our estimates for FY19/FY20/FY21 and retained Buy rating on DBL, revising our target price to Rs221 (from Rs207 earlier) and valuing the stock at 1.6x 1HFY21E P/BV. DBL displayed long-awaited opex control with total opex rising just 5.6% YoY: There was a Rs 45mn benefit in other opex due to the change in useful life of fixed assets. Even adjusted for this, total opex would have growth at 7.8%, which is significantly slower than total income growth of 19.3%. DBL registered a cost to income ratio of 55.2%, thereby achieving its cost to income ratio target ahead of schedule (55% by exit quarter FY19). Non-interest income grew 26.1% YoY to Rs 945mn, within which core fee income grew 17.8% YoY to Rs 776mn. So, while market-related income (trading gains, exchange gains) jumped 85.7% YoY, this was from depressed levels when market-related income was impacted by the yield environment. There was some benefit to fee income due to PSL certificates but the quantum will be disclosed in the annual report. Declining trend in NIM stalled in 3QFY19 with NIM at 3.83%, flat QoQ: Flat NIM QoQ is indicative of improved pricing power due to (a) a change in yield environment and (b) decreased competitive intensity from NBFCs, with whom DBL is a direct competitor. DBL raised Rs 6bn of refinance in 3QFY19 from NHB and NABARD which, overall, was beneficial when factoring in the lack of CRR/SLR requirement. Share of interbank term deposits (wholesale deposits) also trended lower ~300 bps QoQ to 17%, displaying some traction for strategy to retailise deposit base. There was a fraud amounting to Rs 124mn in the AIB business but, overall, there were no major concerns on asset quality: The fraud amounting to Rs 124mn took place in the commodity funding business, which is a de-focused sub-segment within the AIB business. Commodity funding has already degrown to an outstanding book worth ~Rs 300-400mn. Rise in overall GNPA ratio to 1.92%, up 8 bps QoQ, is not concerning. Restructured assets has historically been single digits basis points of loan book. Expected recovery on security receipts is 98-100%. Loan growth at 23% was somewhat lower than recent trend growth on account of slower corporate lending: Corporate loan growth was 8.6% YoY and is now 15% of overall loan book. This means that the strategy of adding branches and personnel is still working well on the ground from a small-ticket lending perspective. Management re-iterated their broad guidance of doubling loan book is 3-3.5 years. CV lending continued high-growth trajectory at 72.3% YoY and now forms 7% of overall loan book. Valuation and outlook: We have retained our NII estimates, changed our PPOP estimates by 1%/0.3%/0.3% and PAT estimates by 1.4%/0.4%/0.3% for FY19/FY20/FY21, respectively. We have retained Buy rating on DBL, valuing the stock at 1.6x 1HFY21E P/BV and revising our target price to Rs221 (from Rs207 earlier).

Comprehensive Conference Call Takeaways Asset Quality In terms of the fraud (Rs 124.4 mn, classified under AIB portfolio) that took place during the quarter, it was related to the commodity funding book which is a business that the bank is winding down. The fraud happened in Gujarat and as per the bank, around 6-7 banks maybe affected. The bank has seen some recovery, while a portion of the remaining exposure has been provided for. On a net basis, the bank has only Rs. 28.7 mn more to provide for. As of now, the bank has only Rs. 300-400 mn outstanding in the commodity funding book. As per the bank, smaller SME loans have been challenging due to cash flow issues being faced by them. Though the bank remains confident about their recoverability since they are backed by good property (hard collateral). As per the bank, most of these are in the Rs. 20-30 mn ticket range. Overall, Q3 was a challenging quarter for the AIB portfolio from an asset quality perspective, as per the bank. The MFI portfolio (under AIB) did not see any stress build up. Small ticket lending recovery rates continue to be strong. The bank had sold some smaller ticket loans to ARCs earlier which are also showing steady recovery as SR balance is coming down. Rating agencies estimate recoveries at 98-100%. Provisioning break-up: Rs. 350 mn credit provisions Rs. 55 mn floating provisions Rs 20 mn releasing provisions on investments Rs. 20 mn standard asset provisions Floating provision balance stands at Rs 730 mn. Business and Loan Growth Though RWA density has been steadily improving, the bank remarked that the ratio will not improve indefinitely. The bank would be targeting lower risk-weight segments such as SME, LAP, home loans, commercial vehicles where risk weight is not more than 75%. Further, the bank stressed that in some cases, where risk-weights are 100% or more, the pricing is not adequate. All in all, the bank guided that it would be focusing on using capital more efficiently. NBFCs are exiting standard home loans, which the bank anyway isn t doing (these loans, as per the bank, are done at close to 9%). The bank is more into home loans to the self-employed segment where it can charge 50-60 bps extra. The standard home loans market has largely gone to the large banks (like Axis, ICICI). In the LAP segment, the bank has witnessed lower pricing pressure in November while December was even better. Overall, the bank has witnessed some benefit on pricing and volume in the LAP segment but believes Q4 could still be better. The bank has been actively letting go of large ticket LAP loans as they don t fit the risk profile. Though online channel is not contributing significantly to the volume but it is still picking up. The bank believes it needs to spend on marketing of the product and carry out other product specific work (like processes) now since Aadhar authentication is no longer allowed. NBFC space is slowly picking up with some NBFCs having approached the bank for co-lending. Though they may not have great pricing power anymore but the bank has seen them becoming more confident in the last 30 days. The bank sources mortgages through various channels like cold calling by RMs, branch-generated leads and through DSAs in metros. 90% of AIB loans are originated through branches. Every month, the bank is witnessing branch contribution improving. The bank emphasized that the choice of channel depends on the scorecard, wherein even liability parameters such as CASA are also factored in. The bank continues to guide for doubling the loan book every 3-3.5 years. The bank further emphasized that it would aim to pursue profitable growth. 2 DCB Bank

The bank would keep corporate book at 14-15% of the total book. The bank has a personal loan book of Rs. 1,000 mn. Currently, the bank is in the process of convincing the board about the product. As per the bank, it would take some time to establish this product. At the most, the bank will keep this book at 3-5% of the total book. The bank is working towards Rs. 100-110 mn business per employee range from an efficiency perspective. Margin, Liabilities and Liquidity The bank hasn t received any communication from the RBI regarding linking retail loans (including personal loans) to an external benchmark. The bank has guided that it will continue to work towards improving its deposits profile. The bank availed of Rs. 6,000 mn worth of refinance from NABARD and NHB during the quarter. Although, this may come at a slightly higher rate but the bank is benefitted by way of no CRR/SLR requirement on these funds. Plus, they also help in improving the ALM profile. Deposit rates have been steep in October and November but they seem to be cooling down now. While pricing loans, the bank is guided by an internally set-up RoE cut-off/floor. Each loan has to meet this cut-off. Operating Expenses The bank is confident of delivering a lower cost/income ratio in coming years (guidance is for 50% in due course of time). As per the bank, an internal plan has been drawn up for this. The bank has also guided for better RoA/RoE than as on date. The bank stated that eventually it would like to bring opex/avg assets to 2.3-2.5% mark. Overall, the bank sees immense opportunity for increasing efficiency, increasing fee momentum and improving risk weight assets consumption. Employee count stands at 5,934. Guidance is for addition of 300-400 employees every year. The bank would be opening 15-20 branches next year (in FY20). Most of the new branches would come up in existing locations. Call for further branch expansion post FY20 would be taken thereafter. There was Rs. 45 mn positive impact on opex due to change in useful life of fixed assets. The bank believes in actively reallocating headcount from under-performing branches to the outperforming ones. Every year, the bank does a purge of ATMs that do not make business sense. Further, as per RBI rules regarding ATM upgradation, it is cheaper to close down certain ATMs. Fee and Other Income This quarter s non-interest income benefitted from PSLC income. The bank is usually ahead of the PSL requirement (at 55-60% of ANBC). As per the bank, if conditions remain favourable, PSLC income is a good business to pursue. The bank faced immense competition from NBFCs in the LAP segment earlier, which impacted fee revenues. Now since the competition from NBFCs has reduced, the bank believes fee income traction could be better. The bank guided for a 15% fee income growth going forward with the aim of taking it even higher. Fee income is largely dependent on how well the branches are delivering and what kind of customers they attract. Capital Adequacy The bank does not see any reason to raise capital in the next 6-8 months. 3 DCB Bank
