Elevated provisions offset PPoP growth; asset quality stress persists
Canara Bank’s (CBK) PPoP growth of 16% YoY (9% beat on opex beat of 4%) was
offset by elevated provisions of INR21.6b (44% miss), leading to a 27% YoY
decline in PAT to INR2.6b.
Reported NIM was flat QoQ at 2.34% (domestic NIM at 2.6% v/s 2.56 in 1Q). NII
grew 3%/14% QoQ/YoY. 1QFY18 NII had INR800-900m of interest reversals.
Other income grew 9% YoY (-8% QoQ as 1Q included gains from stake sale in
CARE).
Loan growth picked up marginally to 9.5% YoY, driven by 21.7% YoY growth in
retail, while deposits growth was relatively muted at 2.5% YoY, leading to the
CD ratio increasing to 72.2% (67.5%/71.7% in 2QFY17/1QFY18).
Gross slippages declined sharply (40% QoQ) to INR33.7b, driven by controlled
slippages in agri/MSME (INR3b/8b). Absolute GNPA increased 4% QoQ to
INR392b, while GNPA/NNPA stood at 10.51%/7.02% (-5bp/-7bp QoQ). Total
stressed book stood at 13.4% of advances (13.8% in 1Q).
Other highlights:
(a) The bank is in discussions to raise total capital of INR63b
(INR35b equity). (b) CET1 ratio/tier 1 ratio/CAR stood at 8.68%/9.5%/12.45%.
Valuation view:
Net stress on the books continues to remain high, and we expect
continued high credit costs to keep returns subdued. Given the weak operating
environment, we would wait and watch developments in asset quality. We roll
forward our valuation date and arrive at an SOTP-based target price of INR386
(0.6x Sept 2019E BV + INR62 for other investments). Maintain
Neutral.
