According to the trend in past two years, Dena Bank has posted strong growth in H2 compared to H1.

Consistent improvement in asset quality; Infra & Power exposure to come-off further Asset quality has improved remarkably with delinquency ratio declining from 2.6% in FY9 to 1.4% in FY12, reflecting bank s efficient credit risk management. Dena Bank is deliberately reducing its exposure to the infrastructure space, and specifically to the Power sector. Management expects slippages to be in the range of Rs8-8.5bn in FY13 and restructuring at ~Rs12bn. With slowdown in restructuring, reduction in exposure to stressed sectors like infrastructure and increase in secured lending, we expect Gross NPA ratio to decline further to 1.3% in FY13. CASA ratio is likely to sustain at ~35%; NIM to remain above 3% CASA ratio witnessed a marginal decline, from 36% in FY1 to 34.6% in FY12. Dena Bank expects healthy growth in SA balance in FY13, driven by robust branch additions (1 branches) and maturing of branches added in recent years. Therefore, the CASA ratio is expected to remain stable. NIM improved significantly, from 2.7% in FY8 to 3.2% in FY12, owing to shifting of focus on high-yielding segments and improvement in Credit/Deposit ratio. NIM is likely to witness a compression of 1-bps in Q1 FY13 due to the increased lending to low-yielding Priority Sector in. Management expects NIM to remain above 3% in FY13.

Mid-corporate & MSME to be the main growth drivers We build in 22.5% CAGR in advances over FY12-14E Well-diversified loan book; Mid-corporate & MSME to drive growth Dena Bank has a well-diversified loan book spread across multiple segments like Corporate & SME (4% of total advances), MSME (15%), Agriculture (15%) and Retail (12%). Its loan book has been consistently growing above the system credit growth. 85% of the loan book is based on floating rates, resulting in immediate re-pricing once the bank changes its Base Rate. In terms of coverage, 61% of the branches are in Gujarat and Maharashtra - accounting for majority of the business. Consequently, the loan book is concentrated geographically. However Gujarat and Maharashtra being major industrialised states, management is confident of maintaining asset quality. Loan book witnessed a robust growth over FY9-12, reporting a CAGR of ~25%. Corporate and MSME lending have been the key focus areas. Retail book recorded relatively sluggish growth, notching 16.3% CAGR over FY1-12 versus 26.5% CAGR in advances over the same period. Despite strong growth, Dena Bank has not compromised over asset quality as reflected in the Gross NPA ratio declining from 4% in FY7 to 1.7% in FY12. Management has targeted a credit growth of ~22% in FY13. The main growth drivers will be Mid-corporate and MSME segments. MSME advances grew by ~44% in FY12 and this momentum is expected to continue. Interest rate on MSME has been reduced to make it more competitive. Also, Dena Bank has 95 specialized branches to provide better servicing to MSME clients. Growth in Advances is expected to be sluggish in a range of 2-3% qoq in Q1 FY13 owing to migration of few interest rate sensitive accounts (~Rs1bn) to other banks offering lower rates, as Dena Bank s base rate remained unchanged until May 12. According to the trend in past two years, Dena Bank has posted strong growth in H2 compared to H1. Foreseeing an improvement in macro-economic situation and liquidity, we build in 22.5% CAGR over FY12-14E.

Consistent monitoring and increased focus on better quality assets led to a decline in gross NPA ratio from 4% in FY7 to 1.7% in FY12. Dena Bank is deliberately reducing its exposure to infrastructure segment and especially to the Power sector. Out of the total Power exposure, ~Rs5bn is to SEBs. As on Mar 12, the bank has loaned funds to 21 power projects, of which five projects are facing delay in commercial operation date (COD). Dena Bank had an Infrastructure exposure of 25.3% of total advances and Power exposure of 19.9% in FY11; this has been reduced to 18.6% and 15.4%, respectively in FY12. Management targets to further reduce this exposure to 15% (infrastructure) and 11% (power) by Mar 13. Bank also foresees challenges in Steel and Textile sectors. With an aim to achieve the desired exposure, management has pruned new disbursals and renewal of existing short-term loans in these areas. Significant reduction in slippages run-rate has also resulted in improvement in asset quality. Management expects slippages to be in the range of Rs8-8.5bn in FY13. Credit cost rose significantly in H2 FY12. However, on year-on-year basis it declined, from.7% in FY11 to.5% FY12. With increased restructuring in, bank had to provide Rs455mn for NPV loss on restructured accounts. Also, it provided Rs57mn for its Funded-Interest Term Loans in FY12, further impacting its bottom line. Higher provisioning led to an improvement in PCR from 74.6% in FY11 to 75.5% in FY12. Provisioning is expected to remain elevated in FY13, as Bank is looking forward to maintain its PCR at 75%+. We estimate credit cost to be high at ~.7% in FY13, bearing in mind the challenges confronted by the industry. Consistent rise in profitability and higher provisioning resulted in reduced NPL; that in turn improved Net NPA/Networth ratio, from 21.6% in to 1.9% in. Like other banks, Dena Bank witnessed significant restructuring in H2 FY12. Outstanding restructured advances stood at 6% of total advances as on 31 st March 12. During, major SEB account that was restructured was Rajasthan SEB (Rs12bn). Restructuring of ~Rs12bn is expected in FY13, out of which ~Rs7.5bn could be reported in. Large accounts that have been restructured in Q1 FY13 are Dakshin Haryana SEB (Rs2.4bn) and Uttar Pradesh SEB (Rs3.75bn). Dena Bank also has exposure to other SEBs like Maharashtra (Rs7bn), Tamil Nadu (Rs4.8bn), Gujarat (Rs2.25bn), etc. TNEB is being closely monitored by the bank and is likely to be restructured soon. There have been delays in payment from TNEB, but bank has not received any restructuring request yet. Dena Bank has not faced any challenges with respect to Gujarat and Maharashtra SEBs. With slowdown in restructuring activity, reduction in exposure to stressed sectors and increased secured lending, we expect Gross NPA ratio to decline further to 1.3% in FY13. Company Report 4

Savings account (SA) balance reported 11.5% growth in FY12, as compared to 25.4% growth in the previous year. Bank expects healthy growth in SA balance in FY13. This growth will be driven by robust branch additions and maturing of branches added in previous years. Dena Bank plans to add 1 new branches in FY13, out of which it has already obtained licenses for 56 branches. Over the past 2-3 years, Dena Bank was focused towards Metros and Urban areas. However, it has now shifted its focus to Semi-urban and Rural areas that offer better opportunities for savings deposit mobilization. With significant branch openings in areas offering high CASA potential, Dena Bank is confident of sustaining its CASA ratio at current levels. It is expected to grow in line with total deposits that are targeted to grow by ~-22% in FY13.

NIM improved significantly from 2.7% in FY8 to 3.2% in FY12 Management expects NIM to remain above 3% in FY13. Core fee income growth is expected to be in the range of 15-% We expect further improvement in C/I ratio to ~41% NIM (reported) to remain above 3%; C/I ratio witnessed consistent improvement NIM (reported) improved significantly, from 2.7% in FY8 to 3.2% in FY12, owing to shifting focus on high-yielding segments and rise in Credit/Deposit ratio. Net Interest Income (NII) registered robust CAGR of 38.2% over FY1-12, vis-à-vis 26.4% CAGR for Advances over the same period, thereby resulting in margin improvement. Dena Bank reduced its base rate to 1.45% in May 12. 85% of loans being based on floating rate will result in immediate re-pricing, thereby impacting Yield on Advances. To offset the impact of falling YoA, the bank also reduced deposit rates across various maturities. However, the Cost of Deposit will not come down immediately but with a lag. Also, increased lending to low-yielding Priority sector in in order to meet PSL target will further impact NIM in Q1 FY13. As a result, NIM will witness a compression of 15-bps in Q1 FY13. Management expects NIM (reported) to remain above 3% in FY13. We expect NIM (calculated) to remain stable in FY13 and thereafter improve marginally in FY14. Bank has significantly improved its operational efficiency as indicated by its C/I ratio that declined from 51.4% in FY9 to 43% in FY12. Bank is in the process of recruiting 5 Probationary Officers, 193 Specialist Officers, 19 clerks and 491 sub staff in FY13, thereby increasing operating expenses.
