(FBL), one of the best old private sector bank with excellent track record of growth and quality, has 672 branches and 732 ATMs spread all over India as of March, 2010. It has the experience of conducting business in the state of Kerala for more than seven decades, which gives the bank a competitive advantage in this state and enables it to be in a better position to understand the local market requirements. Relative to its old private-bank peers, Federal offers its customers a better value proposition in terms of advanced technology, a wider product range and a stronger network. The has one fully owned subsidiary namely, Fed Financial Services Ltd engaged in marketing of bank s products. Healthy Business growth: Robust business growth over the years due to increase in deposits and uptake of credit because of revival in economy, resulting in the highest market share of 16.4% amongst the old private-sector banks. Increase in Low-cost deposits: The strategy of shedding high cost deposits and increasing CASA ratio has led the bank to maintain the low-cost deposits mix (including NRI deposits) around 46% of the total deposits. Highest NIMs among its peers: Geographical advantages, branch expansion, use of advanced technology and introduction of new schemes and products have resulted in excellent deposit-mix enabling the bank to maintain margins towards higher levels. High-yielding loan book: Maintaining the market share in Advances portfolio around 17% through well diversified loan book and giving more thrust on Retail and MSME sectors to earn high returns. Comfortable CAR: The bank has a capital adequacy ratio (as per Basel II) of 18.4% in FY10 is well above RBI s minimum requirement of 9%. Its rating (continued...)

profile has resulted in reduction in risk-weighted assets, leading to improvement in CRAR that is best amongst banks in old private sector groups. Well managed Cost-efficiencies leading to increase in productivity ratios: Cost-toincome ratio of 34.9% as of FY10, lowest amongst its peers reflects the efficiency of the bank and is expected to maintain better productive ratios in future. The key concerns of the banks would be: Rise in NPAs could lead to higher provisioning than estimated, impacting profit growth and ROE. Competition from newer private banks. At CMP of `456.10, the stock is trading at 1.7x FY10 price to adjusted book. Considering the overall growth prospects of the bank, we recommend a 'Buy', assigning a multiple of 1.7x FY12E price to adjusted book to arrive at the target price of `555 per share. Investment Rationale 1. Total Business-Market Share The total business of the bank in FY10 was up by 15.4% at `63008.06cr from `54590.06cr in FY09, mainly driven by 20.4% growth in Net Advances. Addition of new customers and further enhancing service standards to the existing customers are the core objectives of the. New products were introduced taking into account the customer preferences. As per the policy of the bank, it entered into new geographies whereby enhanced its visibility resulting in total business CAGR (FY06-FY10) of 20.7%.

Increase in low-cost deposit 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% The NRI deposits and savings have been on rise especially from the Keralites living abroad. It has grown to a level of `7350.71cr as on March 31, 2010 from `6908.92cr as on March 31, 2009 up by 6.4%. The accelerated growth in NRI deposits in the past two years have been achieved through the representative office in Abu Dhabi and substantial increase in the number of remittance tie-up arrangements with GCC Countries. Geographical advantage paves the way to the high NRI deposits In FY10, the bank s NRI deposits constitute 26.7% out of the total retail deposits. To increase the NRI deposits, the bank has planned certain new initiatives, namelyi) Representative office in middle-east which will facilitate to reach more NRI customers and assist them to deal with the bank without any difficulty. ii) iii) iv) Newly started online money remittance facility to improve the service standards and thereby attract new customers, using new technology and convenient electronic channels of remittances like SWIFT and Fed India remit service. Tie-up with 47 exchange houses / banks for money remittance to India from abroad by way of DD and TTs.

Chart 3 Deposit Mix-FY10 CASA Deposits, 26.2% Term deposit, 51.8% CDs + Deposits of 5cr & more, 22.0% During FY10, the bank adopted a strategy to reduce high-cost deposits and concentrate on mobilizing funds through Certificate of Deposits (CDs). Thereby, enhanced its CDs amounts to `7000cr from `4000cr and obtained P1+ rating (indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment on the instrument is 'very strong') from CRISIL.

CASA ratio increases to 29.0% in 1QFY11 from 26.1% in 1QFY10 and 29.4% in 2QFY11 from 25.8% in 2QFY10, on account of branch expansion and addition of customers.

Maintain margins through deposit-mix Low cost deposit i.e. 26.2% CASA and 20.4% NRI deposit have helped the bank to maintain its spread by reducing cost of deposits as well as to lend at competitive rates and thereby increase yield on advances. The cost of deposits decreased by 43 bps from 7.0% to 6.6% owing to redemption of high cost deposits. Hence, the high proportion of low-cost deposits, the ability to deploy surplus liquidity in better avenues and re-pricing the loans which are lent below base rate has led to a better spread (Yield on Advances - Cost of Deposits) amongst its peers during FY09 & FY10. Better spread of 4.8% in FY10 due to the better deposit-mix Particulars Cost of deposits (%) Yield on advances (%) Spread (%) FY09 FY10 FY09 FY10 FY09 FY10 Federal 7.0% 6.6% 12.3% 11.3% 5.3% 4.8% Karur Vysya 7.6% 7.1% 9.7% 9.5% 2.0% 2.4% South Indian 6.9% 6.9% 10.8% 11.1% 3.9% 4.2% Dhanlaxmi 7.0% 6.7% 11.7% 10.5% 4.7% 3.8% Lak.

Considering the industry growth prospects, the loan-book is likely to grow in the range of 16%-18% in FY11.

Out of the total retail loan, majority of the loans are secured loans namely housing loans and gold loans. The focus on Gold loans is due to the geographical presence in Southern India, especially in Kerala where the consumption of gold is higher compared to other states.

Life insurance joint venture to increase the revenue in coming years 960 The bank has entered into a joint venture along with IDBI and Fortis Insurance International (foreign partner), namely IDBI Federal Insurance Company with equity capital of `117cr (26% share) and expects to infuse further to the tune of `100cr in FY11. The promotion of Life Insurance policies started by the bank since 2008 and collected a premium of `134cr as on FY10. The IDBI Federal Insurance Company has presence in metros and is in the process of moving to other semi-urban areas and is expected to generate revenue in coming years. 4. Return on equity We are expecting an improvement in ROE around 12.6% in FY12E based on the growth in advances and net profits. Awards received during FY10 Adjudged, as the best bank among the old private sector banks category in the survey conducted by the Financial Express in association with Ernst & Young. The bank has won the 'Great Mind Challenge Award' sponsored by IBM 'for implementing the most innovative solution for business'. Federal is the first in India to receive the award. This is the fifth consecutive year the is winning awards from renowned forums such as IBA, Asian er etc. for its technology initiatives. Concerns Though the percentage of net NPAs to net Advances increased in last fiscal, we expect the pressure on asset-quality, in line with the industry. Competition from newer branches of private banks and PSU banks in Kerala may likely to reduce their market share. Keynote Capitals Institutional Research 13
