Portfolio re-alignment phase over; growth at inflection point:
After growing its AUM at a 36% CAGR over FY07-13, SCUF went
into consolidation mode, given the challenging macro environment. The
management scaled down growth and re-aligned its gold loan portfolio
in light of the tightening regulations for gold loan companies and the
sharp volatility in gold prices. As a result, AUMs grew at a meagre
7% CAGR over FY13-16. This phase was marked by realignment of
loan book away from gold and in favor of small enterprises and two
wheelers. The share of gold loans reduced from 36% in FY12 to 17%
in FY16. With the portfolio realignment done with; and strong CAR of
~26%, we expect SCUF to get back into growth mode and deliver
21% CAGR in AUM over FY16-18E.
Vast under-served market for small enterprise loans with low
competition:
Out of ~3.6cr MSME units, only 4% are registered as
companies and just 7% seek external sources of credit. Most of the
MSMEs' funding requirements are sourced from a mix of equity, family
& friends, trade credit and money lenders which are expensive and
not guaranteed. The total gap in MSME funding is estimated to be
around INR 8.2 lac cr of which the debt gap is INR 5.5 lac cr and
equity gap is INR 2.7 lac cr. SCUF is tapping into the vast potential of
the small enterprises who find it difficult to deal with unscrupulous
money lenders on one hand and highly organised banks on the other,
thus bridging the gap between the two. SCUF does not face any
competition owing to the unorganized nature of business dealings by
small enterprises and also due to the extremely low ticket size (Avg.
of INR 10 lacs for SCUF) which deters larger private players. 80%
of branch network of SCUF (total of 1,000+ branches) exists in
underpenetrated segments across semi-urban India with huge potential
for growth. We expect small enterprise loans to grow at a CAGR of
23% over FY16-18E.
Valuations and View:
We believe that SCUF's current valuation of
2.4x/2.2x FY18 P/BV (standalone/consolidated) is attractive in the
context of 1) niche franchise; high entry barriers for new players in
small enterprise loans, 2) highly profitable business underpinned by
strong pricing power; RoA to average 3.0% during FY17-18 and 3)
expectation of acceleration in earnings growth. On relative basis too,
we believe the company deserves to trade at premium valuations over
asset financiers (where our average target multiple is 3x) owing to
higher structural loan growth offering better visibility, lower cyclicality
and superior asset quality. However we assign a P/B multiple of 3x
Sep 2018 for the standalone business; at par with asset financiers to
be conservative. We initiate coverage on SCUF with a price target of
INR 3,000 (INR 2865 for standalone business and INR 135 for housing
finance subsidiary).
