Edelweiss Securities Limited

Indiabulls Housing Finance (IHFL) continued to deliver consistent strong operating performance, in line with guidance, across financial parameters. Key highlights: a) growth momentum sustained (AUM >30% YoY) with growth tilting towards core home book (57% versus 53% a year ago); b) despite this loan tilt, spreads were sustained at 3.24% given funding cost benefit (move towards bond borrowings) and recent rating upgrade by ICRA will enhance this funding cost benefit; and c) asset quality improved with GNPLs at 80bps (85bps in FY17). Earnings were further supported by rising proportion of e-home loans—~22% of incremental home loans, benefiting cost/income ratio. IHFL maintained growth guidance of 20-25% across financial parameters. We believe, an optimal product strategy with stringent risk mitigants, stable franchise & high liquidity will sustain superior return ratios—RoA and RoE of >3% and 25%. Maintain ‘BUY’.

Robust growth momentum sustained Growth momentum sustained with disbursements up >29% YoY led by home loans

(benefiting from government’s/regulator’s affordable housing push) leading to AUM

spurt of ~33% YoY. Repayment trend in home loans was significantly lower at sub-10%

(annualised). Notwithstanding the tilt towards home loans, spreads were sustained with

funding cost benefit flowing through on: a) tilt towards lower-cost market borrowings

(52% versus 38% in FY16); and b) benefit of lower funding rate of bank borrowings (MCLR

rate benefit). Given strong demand environment (PMAY) and further tailwinds for

funding cost (rating upgrades), we expect IHFL to sustain growth momentum.

Asset quality intact GNPLs impressively fell to 80bps (85bps in FY17). CRISIL’s grading of IHFL’s LAP book

indicates the company’s disbursements tilt is towards LAP1/2 grading (highest/high

quality), forming 9.8%/81.6% till date (6.5%/79.5% in FY16). Higher proportion of in-

house sourcing (>80%), lower LTV & focus on low-risk lease rental discounting (LRD)

enabled IHFL maintain stable asset quality. It aims to maintain credit cost at 60-70bps.

Outlook and valuations: Pragmatic mover; maintain ‘BUY’ Given the huge opportunity landscape, we expect IHFL to deliver strong loan growth, but

lower spreads is likely to lead to 24-25% NII growth. Stringent risk mitigants to manage

NPLs and tight cost control will help deliver consistent 20-22% earnings CAGR over FY17-

19E. The stock trades at 3.3x FY19E P/ABV. We maintain ‘BUY/SO’ with TP of INR1,320.

Key highlights from Q1FY18 earning call

Management commentary

Management believes that the current competitive landscape is reasonable

encouraging

o IHFL is very well placed given its market positioning – Based on recent NHB update,

Home loan disbursals upto INR2.5mn compounded at ~33% during FY17

Consequently, home loans upto INR2.5mn now constitute ~76% of overall

pool

o Business has gone beyond March levels in June, with similar performance in July

Mid-income affordable housing space is seeing good traction given PMAY subsidy

schemes and tax reductions

o Operational aspects have smoothened out – Receive subsidies within 30 days of

submission of claims

GST and RERA will bring structural changes and be positive as the sector get formalised

o However, IHFL will remain cautious on commercial finance book during the

transition phase

Margins will remain at higher end of guided range on both incremental

disbursements and stock of loans

o Recent rating upgrade by ICRA to highest AAA rating will benefit cost of funds

going ahead

Currently, borrowing profile consists of ~40% MFs, ~30% Insurance/PFs, ~30%

FPIs/Banks

Over time, this should move to ~40% MFs, ~40-45% Insurance/PFs, ~15-20%

FPIs/Banks

o Maintain spreads guidance of 300-325bps on book basis and 275-300bps on

incremental basis

Currently, spreads on book and incremental basis stand at ~324bps and

~300bps, respectively

o Incremental yields - Home loans: 8.9%, LAP: 11.25-11.5% (should remain stable),

Commercial: 13-13.5%

Cost/income (C/I) ratio has been on a downward trend and management is optimistic

of ending FY18 at <12%

o Benefit of e-Home loans and Smart City home loans to flow through

These initiatives now contribute ~22% and ~8% of incremental home loan

disbursals

o During Q1FY18, cost/income ratio declined by ~40bps over Q4FY17 levels

IHFL will continue to focus on sell-down of loans to drive capital efficiency and

maximise RoE

o During Q1FY18, IHFL sold down ~INR20bn of loan assets – highest amount ever

sold in 1st quarter of any year

Indiabulls Housing Finance

7 Edelweiss Securities Limited

o This amount represents ~64% of incremental loan assets added during Q1FY18

FY20 guidance: (i) BS of ~INR2tn, (ii) PAT of >INR55bn, (iii) C/I ratio in single digits, (iv)

~2/3rd home loan book, (v) ~60% bonds proportion

Other highlights

Disbursements – Total: INR67bn, Home loans: INR38bn, LAP: INR14bn, Corporate

mortgage: INR16bn

Pre-payment rates have come off – home loan pre-payment rate at ~62bps on

monthly basis

Over the course of the year, IHFL will increase tier-II capital to ~4-5% of capital

adequacy

Loan book proportion - Home loans: 57%, LAP: 21%, Others: 22%

Oak North is going operationally well and has a positive contribution to the P&L

o Asset base will likely cross 1bn pounds over the next year and a half or so

Key highlights from Q4FY17 earning call

Management commentary

While premium housing market is under pressure, the mass housing market is robust

on both price and sales volume

Mid-income affordable housing schemes should start seeing meaningful traction from

this quarter/early next quarter

RERA should lead to increased demand for structured credit going ahead

With respect to book

Loan breakup - Home loans: 56%, LAP: 22%, Corporate mortgage: 22%

Disbursements breakup:

o FY17 - Total: INR356bn, HL: INR183bn, LAP: INR69bn, Corp. mortgage: INR104bn

o Q4FY17 - Total: INR130bn, HL: INR60bn, LAP: INR20bn, Corp. mortgage: INR21bn

Additionally, disbursed INR30bn in a syndication and got them refinanced

(mostly in LRD)

LAP book is more sticky as compared to the home loan portfolio due to pre-payment

penalty of 3-5%

Avg. ticket size of home loans is ~INR2.4mn, with avg. income levels of customers at

INR1mn (ann.)

With respect to guidance

Re-iterated long-term BS/book growth of 25-30% and growth of 20-25% across all

other parameters

o Home loans product to register growth of >30%

Spreads guidance of 300-325bps on book basis and 275-300bps on incremental basis

o Despite perceived enhanced competition, spreads stood at 324bps on book basis

and 275bps on incremental basis

o CoFs stood at 8.39% on book basis (as MCLR cuts got passed on to stock of bank

loans) and 7.83% on incremental basis

Target borrowing mix - Bonds/ECBs: ~60%, Banks: ~20-25%, Securitisation: ~20%

Expect to reduce cost/income ratio by 70-80bps every year, thereby lowering it to

single digits by FY20

GNPAs and NNPAs guidance of 70-90bps and 30-50bps, respectively

Credit cost guidance of 60-70bps as part of normal course of business

o Any one-offs (treasury gains/tax breaks) may be used to create additional

provisions

Goals for FY20:

o Balance sheet size: Double to ~INR2tn

Indiabulls Housing Finance

9 Edelweiss Securities Limited

o Profits: >INR55bn

o Home loans proportion: ~66%

o Cost/Income ratio: Single digits

Other highlights

eHome loans have shown good traction and now account for ~16% of retail mortgage

loans’ sourcing

o As the product scales up, it will lead to opex savings of 40-50bps on a per loan

basis

Smart City home loan branches (43 in no.) account for ~7% of monthly incremental

home loans’ applications

In order to achieve BS size of INR1tn, securitization was ~19% of incremental loans (vs.

normal run-rate of ~25%)

Will need to borrow ~INR500bn going ahead, 70-75% of which will be sourced from

market borrowings

Will maintain long-term liquidity position of ~20% of loan book

Company is well-capitalised for atleast the next 2 financial years

o Capital consumption should be back to 1.5-2% per year from next year

o Would like to maintain Tier-I ratio at >15% and CAR at >18%

o May look to expand Tier-II base (stood at 400-450bps in past)

Yields:

o Book - HL: 9.7%, LAP: 13.5%, Corp. mortgage: ~14%

o Incremental - HL: 8.98%, LAP: 11.25%, Corp. mortgage: 12%

Credit costs during Q4FY17 - INR3.11bn

Fee income during Q4FY17 - INR1.93bn

By Q3FY18, dividend proposals to Board will increase and track profits thereafter

Will not participate in any further capital raising of OakNorth Bank (equity capital of

150mn)

Company Description

IHFL is one of the largest housing finance companies in India with AUM of ~INR944bn. It was

established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Indiabulls Financial Services (IBFSL), a leading

non-banking financial firm providing home loans, commercial vehicle loans and business

loans that was established in 2000. In early 2013, keeping with IHFL’s long-term

commitment to the housing finance business, the company was reversed-merged into its

housing finance subsidiary IHFL. IHFL offers a broad suite of lending and other financial

products to target client base of middle and upper-middle income individuals and small- and

medium-sized enterprises, or SMEs. It has presence across 200+ locations across India and

in house sales team of sourcing agents.

Investment Theme

IHFL, a prominent mortgage financier (with AUM of over INR944bn), emerged much

stronger after down-sizing riskier assets post FY09. The company is undergoing structural

metamorphosis with steady 20% plus asset growth, credit rating upgrades and active sell-

downs supporting its best-in-class NIMs. We believe an optimal product strategy with

stringent risk mitigants to manage NPLs, stable franchise, high liquidity and low gearing will

help sustain superior return ratios (RoA/RoE of > 3%/25% - post capital raising). Moreover,

high dividend yield and consistent earnings delivery will lend predictability and result in

further re-rating of the stock.

Key Risks

Any slowdown in the real estate sector will adversely hit growth and earnings. It will also

impact the default rates and recoverability in the event of default.

Adverse regulatory changes like increase in risk weights, cap on the interest spread under

refinance schemes, etc., can impact IHFL’s growth and profitability. Changes in the terms

and eligibility conditions of the refinance schemes can also impact margins.

The self-employed category accounts for >25% of home loans. This indicates the company’s

high asset quality risks as these borrower segments are susceptible to volatile income

stream.
