PAT beat of 50%; raise earnings estimates 10-11% for FY16-18E
Union Bank’s 1QFY16 PBT beat our estimate by 66%, driven by beat on asset
quality (provision 14% below est.) and opex (9% beat) and higher trading gains
(23% of PBT). Higher-than-expected tax rate drove 50% PAT beat.
Gross stress addition decreased 42% QoQ to a four-quarter low of INR22.6b
(annualized 3.9% of loans) v/s INR39.1b in 4Q (6.8%). Slippages continue to trend
lower—INR15.1b (annualized 2.6% of loans) v/s INR15.5b (2.7%) in 4Q. Fresh
restructuring was lower at INR7.5b (v/s INR23.7b in 4Q).
OSRL was largely flat QoQ at INR141.3b (5.5% of loans). OSRL (ex-SEB) remains the
lowest (at 3.2% of loans) among peers. Overall NSL increased to 8.6% v/s 7.9% in
4QFY15, partially led by a 3% QoQ decline in loans.
Loan growth remains subdued at 6% YoY (-3% QoQ). RAM (Retail, Agriculture and
MSME) remains the key focus area (+17% YoY/-3% QoQ).
Other highlights:
(1) INR62.4b of loans were restructured under the 5/25 scheme,
(2) domestic NIM remains stable QoQ at 2.46%, (3) core fees up 25% YoY.
Valuation and view:
The management’s focus on consolidating the balance sheet,
core profitability and conserving capital is a key positive. Asset quality surprise and
expected recovery in the economy is expected to lead to lower net stress additions,
resulting in strong earnings upside as sensitivity of RoA has increased considerably for
NIM and credit cost estimates. We raise our earnings estimates 10-11% for FY16-18E.
Lower CET1 of 7.2% remains a key risk. Maintain
Buy.
