J&K Bank's 2QFY13 PAT grew 35% YoY (+10% QoQ) to INR2.7b. Healthy NII growth of ~27% YoY, higher trading gains
(INR261m v/s INR85m in 2QFY12) and containment of opex (up 15% YoY) gave a boost to the bottom line. NIMs
improvement of 10bp QoQ to 3.9% and stable asset quality were positives during the quarter.
Key highlights:
Gross slippages in 2QFY13 were contained at INR984m, of which INR750m was due to the transition to system-
based recognition of NPAs. Credit cost for the quarter (including provision on investment for a media account
of INR500m) stood at 0.27%.
In 2QFY13, the bank restructured loans of INR2.3b (including two large accounts), thus taking the outstanding
restructured loans portfolio to INR15b, 4.4% of overall loans.
Loan growth was healthy at 3.2% QoQ and 21.4% YoY to INR343b, whereas deposits grew 3.4% QoQ and 16%
YoY to INR549b. Hence, the CD ratio was stable at 62.4%.
Other highlights:
(1) CASA ratio declined marginally to 38.2% and (2) fee income (including insurance) grew
16% YoY but declined 10% QoQ to INR460m.
Valuation and view:
JKBK continues to deliver healthy performance in business growth, margins and asset quality.
Certain core operating parameters such as CASA ratio of ~38%, NIMs of 3.8%+ with the lowest CD ratio of 62%, PCR
of 90%+ and RoA/RoE of 1.5%+/21%+ remain the best in the industry. In our view, the bank would continue to
retain its market leadership in the state of J&K and focus on qualitative growth. Maintain
Buy.
