Result highlights •Growth trajectory during the quarter continued to remain robust with advances growing 46.5% yoy/15.4% qoq. The growth came across the segments, however, retail stood out posting 101.7% yoy growth. Growth in the corporate segment was 44%. •PPOP at INR 20 bn was up 37.7% yoy/5% qoq. Cost/income at 39.2% was lower yoy/flat qoq on back of digital strides. With further measures to improve productivity and rationalization of headcount, the bank is aiming to bring down the cost/income down by another 150-200 bps in another year or two. •With provisioning declining qoq on back of robust asset quality (credit costs at 18 bps/80-90 bps annualized), PBT grew by 18.1% yoy/8.3% qoq to INR 15.8 bn. 10 bps/11 bps sequential reduction in GNPA/NNPA along with minuscule fresh accretion (of INR 2.5 bn during the quarter) to the total stress level along with quality recoveries coming through provide some degree of comfort. •During the quarter the bank raised INR 40 bn through T2 bonds and another INR 54.2 bn as AT1 bonds. Post this, the bank has enough capital stock to sustain its growth momentum. MARKET DATA

Strong advances growth cover up for NIM compression

250

NIMs during the quarter came in at 3.5%, down 20 bps qoq. The compression in NIM was partially on account of bank raising Tier I (INR 54.15 bn) and II (INR 40 bn) bonds during the quarter, costing 8.5% as against the bank’s average cost of funds of 6%. While yields did compress too – 9.8% vs. 10.2% during Q2FY18, we believe the reduction in CoF was restricted. Yield compression during the quarter was a result of good quality credit on incremental basis + competition. Going forward, the bank has continued to reiterate its target of 4% NIMs by March 2020. We believe it may be possible for the bank to pull these target ahead of time given their CASA growth trajectory, stored value in SA rates (6% vs. 3-4% industry average) and credit book directionally moving towards retail orientation. Based on our calculated NIMs, we expect an upward trend (+10 bps annually).

Advances during the quarter stood at INR 1,715.2 bn, growing 46,5% yoy/15.4% qoq. Growth in advances was across the segment with retail segment more than doubling (+101.7% yoy) while corporate segment, aided by strong and nurtured relationships with large corporates, grew by ~44% yoy. While the growth continues to be guided by the retail segment, the bank is also seeing some revival in credit demand from corporates, especially the large ones and also on back of NCLT throwing up good opportunities. The bank envisages a well-placed and conditioned environment for credit growth in near-term which will act as a tail-wind and help Yes Bank continue to outpace industry growth. Business banking stood at 169.8 bn, +36% yoy/15% qoq and MSE segment stood at INR 181.8 bn, +32% yoy/8% qoq. We are factoring in 35% advances CAGR over FY18-20 (up from 27% assumption previously). Also, in order to become self-sufficient in complying with PSL requirements, the bank intends to start generating PSL-complaint retail loans. This will also help in containing the impact suffered on account of PSLC costs. Further, the bank is also seeing pick in demand from micro/small/medium enterprises.

Yes Bank Ltd Asset quality concerns and divergence from RBI addressed; risks seemingly subsiding? Asset quality improved during the quarter with GNPA declining 10 bps to 1.72%/NNPA declining 11 bps to 0.93%. While slippage during the quarter was INR 4.9 bn, fresh accretion to total stress during the quarter was ~INR 2.5 bn (0.15% of advances) which we believe is quite minuscule considering the kind of growth being delivered. GNPA/NNPA stood at INR 29.74 bn/15.95 bn. With respect to divergence identified during Q2FY18, the bank has been able to make progress (one account fully repaid INR 2.8 bn/+recovery of INR 1.3 bn from another/+recoveries of another INR 390 mn). We find comfort in the fact that these recoveries have been quality ones wherein either there has been a management change, projects have resumed operations or asset monetization which was earlier delayed has gone through. The management expects to resolve cases identified under divergence by March 2018. Further, with respect to exposure to sensitive sectors, the bank’s exposure now stands at 7.7% versus 9.3% during Q2FY18. Within the exposure to sensitive sectors, exposure to iron/steel has come down to 1.6% (vs. 2% earlier) and exposure to telecom has come down to 2.1% (vs. 2.3% earlier). In case of power, the entire exposure to thermal/generation which as of today stands all operational. Earlier concerns around the power sector on account of renegotiation of high-priced PPAs have been mitigated to a large extent as SC recently decided that contractual frameworks cannot be disturbed/revoked. Exposure to NCLT stands at INR 1.34 bn, spread over 9 borrowers. Of the total NCLT exposure, INR 0.8 bn is standard and rest INR 12.7 bn is classified as NPA. The bank carries 51% PCR on NCLT list 1/43% PCR on NCLT list 2. On back of robust asset quality, credit costs during the quarter came in at 18 bps (64 bps for 9MFY18/80-90 bps annualized for FY18). While overall PCR currently stands at 46.4%, the management intends to take it up to 60% by June 2018. Other key highlights: •CASA stands at INR 652 bn (+48% yoy/+11.1% qoq), with CASA ratio improving to ~38%. With bank accreting more than a large number of SA customers, we expect the bank to reach its target of 40% CASA by September 2018/43-45% CASA by FY20. •Unlocking of SA rates (by way of reduction; offering 6% vs. 3-4% industry average) will help in expanding NIM; targeting 4% NIMs by by FY20. •Non-interest income during the quarter was strong with corporate banking fee more than doubling (+102% yoy), retail banking fee growing by 35% yoy and corporate trade & cash management fee growing by 54% yoy. •C/I ratio stood at 39.5%, improving 244 bps yoy on account of digital initiatives being taken by the bank. With further rationalization of incremental headcount and digital measures aimed at increasing productivity, the bank is aiming to take C/I down by another 150-200 bps in another year or two. •More than 75% of the corporate exposure is rated A and above, displaying stable risk profile from an asset quality perspective. Valuation & Recommendation: On back of management’s vision of ‘building the finest quality bank in India by 2025’, we expect the bank to deliver on all fronts. Specifically, we expect the bank to maintain a robust growth rate with respect to its advances, aided by retail, and corporate and SME (expected to start picking up by year-end) and deliver reduction in cost of funds through reduction in savings rate coupled with higher share of CASA (CASA + retail TDs to be 70% before FY20). On the asset quality front, post a wide divergence reported in Q2FY18, we find comfort in how the bank has tackled/addressed this issue along with declining GNPAs and minimal fresh accretion to overall stress. How the bank delivers on remedying accounts identified under RBI divergence by June 2018 is something that needs to watched out for; we believe resolution of this pocket of stress will be a big positive. We continue to value the stock at 2.5x FY20E ABVPS, arriving at a value per share of INR 381, offering an upside of 12%. We thus recommend to ACCUMULATE the stock. Q3FY18

Key highlights from Q3FY18 earnings call: •The bank saw robust growth across segments – retail more than doubled (+101% yoy) while corporate grew 43%. •The bank is seeing resurgence in credit markets; seeing new credit demand coming from large corporate relationships. •Quality of credit is improving. •Reasons for NIM contraction: o The NIMs contracted by about 20 bps o 10 bps can be attributed to raising of tier I and II bonds by the bank. o The bank raised INR 54.15 bn worth of AT1 bonds and INR 40 bn worth of tier II capital, costing around 8.5%, thereby impacting NIMs. o The remaining 10 bps could be attributed to security receipts. •The bank continues to maintain its NIM target of 4% by March 2020. •The bank is aiming towards becoming PSL self-sufficient as PSLC costs are another adverse impact the bank is suffering. The bank plans to achieve this by generating PSL-compliant retail loans. •C/I stood at 39.5%. The bank is aiming to improve this to 37-37.5% as a result of further productivity in another year or two. This will be driven by digital initiatives the bank is undertaking. The bank is also being conscious on the employee count. •The bank plans to achieve 40% CASA by September 2018. ANALYST Raghav Garg, [email protected], +91-22-6696 5584

Yes Bank Ltd Key highlights from Q3FY18 earnings call (contd.): •On the asset quality, the bank saw marginal improved as GNPA reduced 10 bps to 1.72%. in terms of provisioning, the bank plans to shore up the PCR to 60% by June 2018. o Most of the GNPAs identified on account of divergence are not sticky and will be remedied by March 2018. o Exposure to sensitive sectors has come down from 9.3% to 7.7%. o All of the exposure to power sector is thermal/generation and is operational o Iron/steel is turning around rapidly. o Telecom being de-risked substantially. o Concerns around high-priced PPAs have been addressed after an in-depth review. The risk has been mitigated. SC recently decided that contractual frameworks cannot be disturbed/revoked. Further, the bank is also seeing some recovery in solar power pricing. •More than 75% of the corporate exposure is rated A and above. •Nature of SRs is non-sticky. The bank believes there can be a fair amount of resolution and recovery from these. •Given the trajectory of CASA growth and CASA target of 40% by September 2018/43-45% CASA by FY20, NIMs should improve/reach to 4%. Also, the bank has large value stored in SA accounts/rates as currently its offers about 6% as against an industry average of 3-4%. The bank stated it would unleash this value at some point. •On the corporate front, the bank will continue to growth with the large corporates. •The bank believes NCLT can throw up a lot of opportunities for the credit business. The environment for credit growth is well placed and conditioned. •The bank is seeing pick up in micro/small/medium enterprises. •On capital consumption: o Currently, the CRAR is sufficient o The bank doesn’t see rapid usage of CET1 capital and has enough capital stock to pursue growth. However, it will discuss further capital raising in April 2018. •With regards to repayment by 2 accounts identified as NPA under the RBI divergence assessment: o Repayment in one account came through on account of change in management o In other situations, there has been an operational improvement like in case of a road project and asset monetization which has gotten delayed. •Under IFRS, a portion of fee income (40-50%) maybe subject to amortization. •The bank has begun to raise MCLR rates which going forward could result in better margins.
