In-line with estimates: Growth & asset quality healthy; margins improve
LIC Housing Finance’s (LICHF) 4QFY15 net profit stood at INR3.78b (In line with est.
of INR3.8b). While the operating profit was 3% below est. (due to higher opex)
lower provisioning of INR10m (est. 100m) led to In-line profit growth. Healthy loan
growth of (+18% YoY); improvement in asset quality, and 7bp YoY improvement in
asset quality were the key highlights of the quarter.
Loan growth of 18.6% YoY (6.3% QoQ) was largely in line; individual loan growth
remained healthy at 19.3% YoY and 6.3% QoQ to INR1.05t. While corporate loan
disbursements picked up at +7.4% YoY 3.9b, higher repayments led to 2% YoY de-
growth of portfolio. Corporate loans share in overall loans declined to 2.52% v/s
3.05% a year ago.
Net interest income stood at INR6.49b +21% YoY); led by 7bp YoY margin
expansion to 2.47%. Spreads for the quarter stood at 1.46% up 5bp YoY led by
lower incremental cost of borrowings at 9.19% for the quarter.
Asset quality remained healthy; GNPAs/NNPAs improved 21bp/17bp YoY and
11/09bp QoQ to 0.46%/0.22%.
Overall disbursements grew +23% YoY to INR99.4b. Individual disbursements
growth improved to 24% YoY to INR95.5b.
Valuation and view:
Despite high interest rates and property prices, volume
growth in the individual loan segment remains healthy. Margin improvement and
health of corporate loan portfolio continue to remain key monitorables. We
expect LICHF to report healthy 17% PAT CAGR over FY14-17E. RoA and RoE are
expected to be ~1.4% and ~18%. We may revise the earnings estimate post
earnings conference call. Maintain
Buy.
