Stress recognition continues Slippages at INR 5.9 bn continued to deteriorate asset quality with GNPAs now at INR 30.2 bn. The bank saw INR 1.8 bn worth of slippage on account of RBI’s Feb 2018 circular. Total slippages from the restructured pool was INR 4.3 bn. The total watch-list as Q4FY18 stands at INR 3.25 bn (versus INR 6.5 bn in Q3FY18). Of the total watch-list, 50% is funded exposure while rest 50% is non-funded exposure. Besides this, the management has also guided for another INR 2 bn worth of slippages from the restructured standard book which stands at INR 2.6 bn (dominated by INR 2 exposure to infra). Most of the corporate slippage (50% of WL + INR 2 bn from RSA) could taken place in Q1FY19. Total pool of RSA stands at INR 2.6 bn, 5/25 at INR 0.8 bn, s4A at INR .8 bn (part of RSA) and security receipts at INR 4.9 bn. Total stress stands at INR 30.2 bn (adjusting for the overlap), forming 6.6% of advances (versus 7.9% in Q3FY18).

The corporate book saw slippage of 14.3% versus 16.2% last quarter. Total NPAs in the corporate book stood at INR 22.3 bn (15.5%), continuing to be the main driver of asset quality. The commercial, retail and agri book saw relatively better asset quality. Net slippage in the retail book was 10 bps and total NPA stood at 1.9%. Going forward, the management is guiding for most of the heavy lifting in terms of recognition of lumpy corporate accounts to be over by Q1FY19 and that remainder of the year should see normalized slippages and credit costs (of 1.5%). For FY19, we are building in ~INR 900 crore worth of slippages. We expect slippage to return to normalcy FY20 onwards.

Credit costs during the quarter were 3.5% (INR 4.1 bn towards NPA). The bank has guided for another quarter of elevated credit costs on back of full recognition of lumpy corporate stress with normalized credit costs of ~150 bps from Q2FY19 onwards. We expect INR 7.7 bn of provisioning during FY19 with most of it being taken in H1FY19. the bank still has another INR 0.7 to provide on the NCLT exposure. For FY19/20, we expect GNPAs of 6.3%/5.1% and NNPAs of 2.9%/2.1%.

Karur Vysya Bank Ltd Digital is the way forward The bank has been quite vocal about its plans to adopt digital ways of doing things. During the quarter, the bank launched two new digital products – algorithmically underwritten home loans (1st in the industry) and working capital renewal products. On back of digital initiatives undertaken, these loans’ underwriting is automated using predictive credit scores. The bank is looking at digital as an enabler of credit growth going ahead. Further, with the help of credit scores, the bank has been able to reduce its turnaround time – a working capital loan that would take a few weeks can be done within 30 mins now. Emphasizing on quantifying risk One of the core objectives of going digital has been to quantify risk (and price appropriately). Inculcating predictive credit scores and developing scorecards based on existing customers, the bank has been able to effectively quantify risk (rather than just taking a judgment call). Further to contain operational risks, the bank will be putting a number of layers/checks around branch managers rather than moving to a centralized system. Although the bank will continue to empower branch managers in terms of decision-making, a number of systemic filters will be created to contains risks. Valuation/view: Slippages/NPA accretion and credit costs were broadly in-line with expectations. With another INR 3.25 bn of stressed accounts at the periphery of slipping into NPA, we believe the bank is only to see another quarter of high slippage and credit costs. Post this, the bank is expected to return to normalcy in terms of slippages and credit costs which in turn would be the driving force behind improving ROAs (expecting 1.1% for FY19). From credit standpoint, the bank’s strategy to increase the more granular retail/SME portion while curbing large-ticket corporate exposures continues to play out and is expected to enable KVB to emerge stronger. Thrust on digitalization should prove to be beneficial for the bank. We value the bank at 1.7x FY20E ABVPS of INR 87.6, translating into target price of INR 148.9. We maintain BUY.

Karur Vysya Bank Ltd Karur Vysya Bank – Q4FY18 earnings call highlights • Algorithmically underwritten products, using predictive credit scores, went live – Home loans and working capital renewal products – 1st of its kind in the industry – The loan contracts are also paperless – The products have been well recieved • The bank is working on upgrading its core banking platform. • A new dedicated asset sales force has been set up to push sales which should result in reasonable lift in third party product distribution. • Centralized collection facility went live during the quarter which has made reasonable impact on the portfolio performance on the retail front – The bank intends to leverage the same facility for pursuing commercial collections too. • The bank recently hired a chief risk office and is currently in the process of creating a risk team around him • The bank is also starting the process of creating an analytics team. • NIM during the quarter was positively impact by a one-time factor, adjusting for which the increase in NIM was only 4 bps. The bank however feels there is enough room for NIMs to improve going ahead. • Watch list as of Q4FY18 stands at INR 3.25 bn, down from INR 6.5 bn in Q3FY18. Of the total watch list, 50% is funded and 50% is unfunded. Provisioning on funded part will have to be carried out immediately while provisioning for the non funded part will be based on the expectation as to when these loans get called. – Besides the watch list, there is another INR 2 bn that could slip from the restructured standard book of INR 2.62 bn. • Total NCLT exposure is INR 12 bn which is provided 40% till now. Another INR 0.70 bn is to go during Q1FY19. • Slippage on account of RBI’s Feb 2018 circular was INR 1.75 bn during the quarter. • The bank besides steeping up its risk team is also looking to hire a lot of management level people for retail business sales which is expected to strengthen the overall management team. This should be completed by early next quarter. • The bank has guided it will grow faster than its current rate at the moment. Digital platform will be an enabler. – Time taken for working capital renewal loans has dropped significantly from a few weeks to just 30 mins now. • Expense staff is working on reducing expense. Cost of new tech system will be approximately 1.5-2% of the total opex (of INR 15 bn). However, given the current on-going hiring and the cost of new investment in digital, C/I could deteriorate. • NCLT cases are seeing some recovery, especially in the steel sector. – NCLT resolutions in FY19 should start taking some pressure off the asset quality numbers. The bank expects majority of the NCLT exposures to be resolved in FY19 with maximum haircut being 60%. • Post introducing quantification of risk, sales people have become much more knowledgeable about risk-based pricing. • SA accounts priced at 4% – Growth has come mainly on account of volume / number of accounts. • July 2018 will see launch of full digital bank – Similar to what Kotak is doing or what Standard Chartered has done. This should help boost deposit growth. • Q1FY19 will see all of the remaining corporate provisioning flowing through. As a consequence of this, credit costs should revert to normalized levels of 150 bps (from Q2FY18 onwards). The bank expects another INR 2-3 bn of corporate-related provisioning. • The bank expects current momentum in fee income growth to continue. • Putting a system of layers around the branch managers to ensure risk is contained – Line of credit will only be authorized to people who have good credit history – Will not move to centralized system as that would mean losing competitive advantage to HDFC, Kotak, etc. – Will continue to have empowered branch managers but systemic filters will be increased to contain operational and other types of risks • The bank expects to see another quarter or two of elevated stress on the commercial side. • The bank has doubled fee income from life insurance products over the year. – Currently, it is seeking a new 2nd partner and has launched an RFP. • A new third part product sales force has been created, trained for selling TPPs. This is in addition to the life insurers’ people sitting in the bank. The in-house sales force connects better with KVB customers. • CASA target is for >31% by end of FY19. – Pushing transaction banking business aggressively is a strategy to grow the CASA. However, core focus will remain on retail CASA which is more sticky and is of better quality.
