Bajaj Finance’s (BAF) PAT for 4QFY16 stood at INR4.15b, up 36.4% YoY (7%
below our estimate). The opex and provision were lower than our estimates,
while net income also fell short of our estimate by 5% due to a decline of 20bp
YoY in margin, resulting in the lower than estimated PAT.
AUM growth for the quarter was impressive (+36% YoY, 2% QoQ) and reached
INR442b, on the back of continued traction in the consumer business, up by a
strong 44% YoY, and a growth of 56% YoY in the commercial business.
However, the SME segment grew at lower rate of 20% YoY, largely due to a
muted growth in the LAP book.
BAF’s asset quality remained healthy with GNPLs (15dpd) at 1.23%, up 28bp
YoY and 6bp QoQ, while at 90dpd, GNPLs are 1.43% and NNPA are at
40bp. During the quarter, BAF made an accelerated provision of INR444m
towards a standard infra. Exposure, resulting in PCR increasing to 77%.
Other highlights:
1) Given the cautious outlook for the LAP segment, BAF has
stopped sourcing LAP and home loans via distributors and is only giving loans
to its existing credit tested customers 2) The company has tied up with Flipkart
for online financing of products in select categories 3) With 5.5m cards in force,
BAF is now the second largest card issuer in the industry 4) The company is
among the largest new loan acquirers in India 5) The 2W and 3W businesses
are growing on the back of growth in Bajaj Auto’s business 6) BAF has forayed
into Life care financing (for dental and eye surgery).
Valuation and view:
BAF continues to reap the benefits of healthy consumer
demand and is now a dominant player in the consumer durable financing
segment. The company continues to increase its market share in the consumer
business, though a higher share of its incremental growth could be driven by
the low-yield mortgage business, which could exert pressure on its margins.
We are largely maintaining our FY17/18 PAT estimates. The stock currently
trades at 4.7x/3.9x FY17/18E BV. We value the stock at INR8,450 based on the
RI model, implying a PBV of 4.3x FY18E. Maintain
Buy.
