Under this arrangement, Max Life will first merge with MFS, which will in turn merge with HDFC Life. This arrangement will ensure an automatic listing for HDFC Life. We raise price target by ~30% to INR545: We assign 75% probability to the proposed merger going through, resulting in significantly better growth prospects for Max Life (addition of several bancassurance partners). While the swap ratio remains unannounced, we believe eventually HDFC Life would trade at 2.5x+ FY18E EV, given the strong growth and return profile of the combined entity (refer exhibit 1). Granularity in sourcing to increase post-merger; risk of AXSB exit remains low: We believe there is very low risk of dissolution of Axis Bank (AXSB) partnership 6% stake in Max Life. The current arrangement is valid for five years, with 1% stake vesting each year from 2017 to 2021. Currently, AXSB earns ~INR5b income from selling life insurance policies (excluding equity stake sale gains). Given the strong growth potential, we expect the bank to generate INR10b+ of commission income by FY21 a sizable income contributor that we believe it would not like to jeopardize. Further, post the merger, contribution of AXSB to the combined entity would be significantly lower than the current 50%+. Increase in granularity within the bancassurance network is likely to reduce the possibility of any additional equity offerings to banks. Valuation and view: We like Max Life for its management quality, higher proportion of long-term savings business, healthy operational efficiency, strong bancassurance tie-ups, robust return ratios, and excess capital position. Further, potential merger with HDFC Life is expected to increase the granularity in distribution network. Our probability-weighted target price reflects the upside to appraisal value from possible improvements in operational performance. We value Max Life on appraisal value methodology, leading to pre-merger value of ~INR160b (2.4x FY18E EV) and post-merger value of ~INR225b (3.3x FY18E EV and ~3x FY18E EV excluding dividend payouts). Adjusting for MFS 68% stake in Max Life and adding the INR2.7b cash with MFS, we arrive at a post-merger TP of INR545/share. While the swap ratio for the merger remains unannounced, we believe eventually HDFC Life would trade at 2.5x+ FY18E EV, given the strong growth and return profile of the combined entity. Buy. Key risks: (a) Complex shareholding structure, (b) Regulatory approvals, and (c) Continuity of partnerships with Yes Bank post 2018 and Axis Bank post 2021.

Raise TP to INR545 v/s INR420 previously Valuation and view Long term opportunity in India s life insurance sector remain attractive; overall the past couple of years, new business growth has recovered with cost control and profitability remaining key focus area for most insurers. Outlook on regulatory environment remains positive with all major areas (product, distribution and expenses) already seeing guideline changes. Interestingly, the last couple of regulatory developments (i.e. proposed bank broker model and expense of management) have ended up being more accommodative for the industry v/s and severe negative impact seen previously. Hence, we remain positive on the sector. Potential merger with HDFC Life will make the combined entity the largest private life insurer. Further, it will also strengthen the market share in Par business (2 nd largest player after LIC). We prefer MAX for its management quality, higher proportion of long-term savings business, healthy operational efficiency, strong bancassurance tie-ups, robust return ratios, and excess capital position. Granularity in distribution network is likely to increase post-merger. We value Max Life on appraisal value basis. We assume cost of equity at 13.3% and terminal growth rate at 4% (unchanged). We assign 75% probability of merger going through, leading to pre-merger value of ~INR160b (P/EV of 2.4x FY18E) and post-merger value of ~INR225b (P/EV of 3.3x FY18E and ~3x P/EV FY18E excluding dividend payouts). Adjusting for MAX s 68% stake in Max Life and adding the INR2.7b cash with MAX, we arrive at post-merger TP of INR545/share. While the swap ratio for the merger remains unannounced, we believe eventually HDFC Life is likely to trade at 2.5x+ FY18 P/EV given the strong growth and return profile of the combined entity. We do not ascribe any holding company discount to MAX, as Max Life is the only major business owned and substantial portion of the dividend income received from Max Life is likely to flow through to MAX shareholders.
