Loan growth moderates to 18% YoY; RoA steady at 1.8%
HDFC Bank's (HDFCB) 2QFY17 PAT grew 20% YoY (in-line) to INR34.6b, driven
by healthy core PPoP growth (+20% YoY). Key highlights of the quarter were: a)
corporate loan growth slowed to 13% YoY on account of higher repayments of
short-term loans; b) reported NIM declined 20bp QoQ to 4.2%; c) strong retail
loan growth (+24% YoY); and d) moderation in fee growth (12.6% YoY).
Retail loan book grew robustly by 23.5% YoY, driven by strong growth in auto
loans (23% YoY), personal loans (40% YoY) and agricultural loans (35% YoY).
Growth in business banking (15% YoY) picked up after a lackluster 1Q.
However, intense competition in the retail segment impacted fee income
growth.
CASA deposits grew 19% YoY, driven by SA (+22% YoY). CASA ratio was largely
stable YoY at ~40%. Over past one year, branch count has grown 8%.
Other highlights:
a) Absolute GNPA increased 3% QoQ, with slippage ratio
declining to 1.4%; b) CET1 ratio remained healthy at 13.3% (stable QoQ); and c)
NSL remained the lowest at 40bp. d) HDFCB opened 7 branches in the quarter,
compared to 506 branches opened in FY16.
Valuation and view:
HDFCB is well positioned in the current environment with
~40% CASA ratio, growth outlook of at least 1.3x industry and least asset quality
risk. With CET1 of ~13.3%, strong capacity building amid moderate growth cycle
(branches at 4,548 v/s 1,412 in FY09) and significant digitalization initiatives, the
bank is well placed to benefit from the expected pick-up in economic growth cycle.
RoE is expected to be ~19-20% in FY17-19. Maintain
