Bank of Baroda reported 2QFY13 PAT grew 13% YoY to INR13.1b (21% above est.) driven by write-back of INR1.3b
on investment, lower coverage (down 330bp QoQ) and lower than expected opex (11% below est.).
Key highlights:
Slippages for 2QFY13 were at an elevated level of INR14.2b (annualized slippage ratio of 2.4%) and recoveries
and up-gradation were largely stable QoQ at INR2.8b. Bank restructured ~INR16b during the quarter, thereby
net stress addition for 2QFY13 increased to INR27.3b as compared to INR18.9b in 1QFY13.
Global and domestic NIMs were stable QoQ at 2.7% and 3.2%. Improvement in domestic yield was off-set by
higher cost of deposits (+6bp QoQ to 7.36%) and 270bp QoQ fall in domestic CD ratio.
Global loans grew 22% YoY, of which domestic loan growth was at 17%. Growth in overseas loans was strong at
33% YoY, however adjusted for currency depreciation growth would have been at 24-25%.
Other highlights:
(1) Domestic CASA declined further by 50bp QoQ to 31.75%. (2) Tax rate at 24.3% v/s expectation of
26% and (3) Trading gains were strong at INR1.1b v/s INR815m in 1QFY13 and INR102m in 2QFY12 - helping PAT growth.
Valuation and view:
While valuations are reasonable, it needs to be seen in context of expected fall in RoA / RoE
in FY13/FY14. Near term headwinds are (a) Top management change in CY12 and (b) Challenging macros leading
to higher slippages. Maintain
Neutral.
