PPoP growth marred by provisions; balance sheet clean-up accelerates
South Indian Bank (SIB) reported PAT growth of 34%/7% QoQ/YoY. PPoP
growth stood at 35%/46% QoQ/YoY, led by high trading gains (~44% of total
other income – second highest in 13 quarters, barring 3QFY17). However,
provisions soared 36%/97% QoQ/YoY, restricting YoY PAT growth.
NII grew 5%/23% QoQ/YoY on the back of advances growth of 0%/13%
QoQ/YoY and NIM expansion of 6bp QoQ/YoY to 2.8%. Opex growth was
controlled at 2%/4% QoQ/YoY. CI ratio declined to 44.2%. The bank has guided
to CI ratio of 47%-48% for FY18.
Loan growth of 0%/13% QoQ/YoY was led by robust growth in retail (+4%/20%
QoQ/YoY) and SME/agri (+1%/+11% QoQ/YoY) loans, while corporate book
grew -2%/10% QoQ/YoY, as per the bank's retail-focused strategy.
Asset quality deteriorated as the bank's absolute GNPA/NNPA soared 48%/75%
QoQ to INR17b/INR11.8b (3.61%/2.54%, +116bp/+109bp QoQ). However, the
bank recognized its entire watch-list (INR6.1b at end-4QFY17) as NPA, leading
to a clean balance sheet with no watch-list. Total net stressed assets of the
bank stood at 3.06% (v/s 3.43% in 4QFY17).
Valuation and view:
Management is focused on building a low-ticket loan book
with steady balance sheet clean-up, which will help improve asset quality
substantially. In view of continued reduction in net stressed assets,
comfortable capital position and improved profitability, we maintain our
Buy
rating with a TP of INR34.3 (1.1x June 2019E BV, slight increase over earlier
multiple of 1.0x Mar 2019E BV in view of significantly improved visibility of
asset quality/profitability).
