While migration to an SFB is expected to weigh on the return ratios over the near term, we believe operating costs should peak out in FY18E and will begin to gradually improve thereafter. The bank continues to record robust balance sheet growth and has also surprised positively in terms of liability franchise development (2.7x CD ratio, 37% CASA ratio within three quarters of banking operations), which should provide cushion against a decline in yields. We expect 42% earnings CAGR over FY18-20E, driving RoA/RoE to 1.98%/20.1% in FY20E. Post the recent correction, the stock trades at 4.9x FY20E BV and 27x FY20E EPS. In view of its long-term sustainable business and earnings growth potential, we believe that AUBANK should continue trading at a premium. We thus upgrade the stock to Buy with a target price of INR705 (unchanged), based on 5.9x FY20E BV/32.7x FY20E EPS. Business growth remains robust; diversification set to improve further Post transition to an SFB, AUBANK has launched several new deposit/lending products and also expanded its presence in chosen geographies. Business growth, too, continues to be strong (67% YoY loan growth; 38% YoY AUM growth). Aided by its strong distribution network and launch of new products (including housing finance), AUBANK should deliver 42% loan book CAGR over FY18-20E in our view. We believe loan mix and geographical diversification will add stability to the franchise and help maintain steady growth. Deposit accretion surprises positively; will help cushion against drop in yields arising from banking transition AUBANK has surprised positively in terms of liability franchise development (88% YoY deposits growth in 3Q) and demonstrated robust CASA growth (CASA ratio at 37%, +400bp QoQ). Deposits now form ~37% of total credit v/s 23% in 2QFY18 this should provide protection against a decline in yields, containing contraction in the NIM (~80bp moderation over FY17-20E). Earnings growth to accelerate from FY19E; cost ratios have likely peaked We expect the return ratios to bounce back to healthy levels over FY19-20E as opex ratios have likely peaked out in FY18E while strong build-up of liability franchise will cushion NIM contraction. We believe a diversified loan book, wide geographical presence and strong underwriting skills across different lending segments will enable AUBANK to complete its SFB transition expeditiously. We expect RoA/RoE to bottom out at 1.82%/14.1% in FY18 and recover to 1.98%/20.1% by FY20E. Valuation and view We expect a CAGR of 43% in loan book and 42% in PAT over FY18-20, with RoA/RoE of 1.98%/20.1% in FY20. Post the recent correction, the stock trades at 4.9x FY20E BV, and we believe AUBANK should continue trading at a premium, given its superior performance and accelerated SFB transition. We upgrade to Buy with a TP of INR705 (unchanged), based on two-stage GGM, corresponding to 5.9x FY20E BV. Our PT corresponds to 32.7x FY20E EPS even as we expect the bank to deliver 40%+ earnings CAGR over the medium term.

Business growth remain robust; off-balance sheet mix to decline further New products to scale up gradually and provide diversification: As an assetfinancing NBFC, AUBANK had built a strong franchise across three secured lending segments: Vehicle loans, MSME loans and SME loans. Post transition to an SFB, it has launched several new deposit/lending products and has also expanded into newer geographies. The bank has also launched the housing finance business where in it has successful prior experience. Given its prior experience in housing finance and rapidly expanding presence in tier-ii/iii centers, AUBANK is well placed to rapidly scale up this business post launch, in our view. Even though the bank s business mix is largely in favor of vehicle and SME loans (82% of AUM), newer products will help it build scale and diversify risks. We expect AUBANK to deliver ~42% loan book CAGR over FY18-20E. Exhibit 1: We expect the bank to register 37% AUM CAGR over FY18-20E AUM (INRb) Loan book (INRb) 148.2 107.3 115.6 82.2 37.0 44.5 55.7 56.2 63.9 18.4 24.6 34.0 201.3 165.1 277.2 235.6 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18E FY19E FY20E Source: Company, MOSL Exhibit 2: AUBANK has recorded strong AUM growth across verticals YoY growth in 3QFY18 104.8 Exhibit 3: with increasingly diversified AUM mix Wheels Secured MSME Secured SME Gold loans Agri loans NBFC RE Group Business Banking 25.3 43.8 52.5 5.7 8.4 9.9 30.6 29.7 29.2 Vehicle finance Secured MSME Secured SME NBFC 49.4 47.7 46.7 1QFY18 2QFY18 3QFY18 Decreasing off-bs should improve NIM (including off-bs): As a bank, AUBANK has access to deposits we note that it has progressed well on deposits accretion, bringing down incremental cost of funds. This will enable AUBANK to engage in more direct lending rather than securitization / direct assignment of loans which it had resorted to in a higher cost of funds scenario as an NBFC. We expect off-bs loan contribution to decline to 15% of total AUM by FY20E from ~25% now. 28 February 2018 2

Exhibit 4: Off-BS loans as % of total AUM should decline to 15% by FY20E Off BS % Exhibit 5: NIM (including off BS) to remain stable over FY18-20E NIM (including off BS) 50.2 44.8 38.9 31.6 40.5 22.0 18.0 15.0 6.0 6.1 8.2 8.7 8.2 8.3 8.6 8.4 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18E FY19E FY20E FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18E FY19E FY20E Fee income growth to be supported by distribution fees Third-party distribution fee growth should offset likely moderation in PSLC fees: As an SFB, AUBANK is required to maintain 75% of PSL-compliant loans on its books. As the bank diversifies its product mix in favor of non-psl compliant loans, it will decrease the quantum of PSL certificates the bank can sell, leading to some moderation in PSLC fees. However, this will likely get compensated by healthy growth in third-party distribution fees, as the bank has tied up with 11 mutual funds, one health insurance and one non-life insurance company to distribute their products. Deposit build-up beats expectations; to form 68% of total funds by FY20E Fast-paced deposit accretion to cushion against drop in yields: AUBANK has surprised positively with fast-paced build-up of its liability franchise (88% YoY deposits growth in 3Q) while also demonstrating robust CASA growth (CASA ratio at 37%, +400bp QoQ). The CD ratio has improved to 270% in 3QFY18 within just nine months of the launch of its banking operations. Accelerated deposits build-up has favored cost of funds, as incremental cost of funds for 9MFY18 stands at 7.2%, with cost of deposits at 6.55%. Granularity of deposits is at a healthy level, with an average SA ticket size of INR40,000. We note that 89% of AUBANK s deposits come from new to bank customers. We believe that robust growth in deposits will protect against a decline in yields, containing NIM contraction (9.3% in FY20 v/s 10.1% in FY17, excluding off-bs). 28 February 2018 3

However, post the launch of its SFB operations, migration to the 90dpd recognition basis in 1QFY18, combined with inability to recognize repossessed vehicles as a bank (NBFCs are allowed) had resulted in an increase in the GNPL ratio to ~3%. Vehicle finance portfolio NPAs are partly also due to GST implementation which had impacted AUBANK s customer segment. However, as the implementation issues iron out, asset quality in this segment should improve further. In 3QFY18, asset quality improved slightly with ~19% QoQ decline in fresh slippages to INR680m, leading to a 25/22bp QoQ improvement in the GNPA/NNPA ratios to 2.83%/1.87% (2.12%/1.40% including off-balance sheet). Vehicle finance GNPAs declined to 3.2% in 3QFY18 from 3.7% in 2QFY18. PCR for the bank had declined post 4QFY17 due to aggressive write-offs (the bank provides 100% for loans that are delinquent for > 730 days), but improved to 34.4% in 3QFY18 from 28.6% in 1QFY18. Management has guided for a further improvement in PCR to 38-40% by end-fy18. 28 February 2018 4

We also believe that fast-paced deposit accretion will help reduce incremental cost of funds, helping cushion against NIM contraction.
