NII growth come down; NIMs and spreads fall slightly
Net Interest Income (NII) during Q2FY15 has come down 5.7% y-o-y and 5% q-o-q to Rs 648 cr with net loan book down 3.5% y-o-y. Treasury income continues to do
well with a jump from Rs 46 cr in Q2FY14 and Rs 68 cr in Q1FY15 to Rs 90 cr in Q2FY15. Rolling 12 months NIMs and average spreads have come down slightly to 3.8%
and 2.1% respectively after being flattish in the previous three quarters. Margins of the company were lower mainly on account of higher incremental lending to the
top rated customer carrying lower yields.

Q2FY14 and Rs 134 cr in Q1FY15 to Rs 449 cr in Q2FY15 mainly because of benefits from Principal Gains. Strong capital gains are on account sale of two real assets on
the balance sheet. On a lower base, the investment banking business of the company has also done well and has gone up from Rs 8 cr to Rs 24 cr in Q2FY15. Fees from
asset management business have gone up from Rs 93 cr to Rs 107 cr y-o-y.

the background of management’s continuous indication in the previous few quarters that present NPAs are unsustainable at low levels and gross NPA is likely to rise to
1.0-1.5% mark in next 12-18 months. 87% of restructured assets come from energy sector; half of which are gas based power projects. Net Restructured Loans as on
September 30, 2014 are 6.1% of gross loans.

Provisions have jumped from Rs 50.1 cr to Rs 281.2 cr y-o-y. Company has continued with prudent policy of building counter-cyclical provisions. It stepped up overall
provisions outstanding to 3.6% of loans from 3.1% a quarter ago and 2.4% a year ago. Company proposes to continue to build provisions for next few quarters with a
view to avoid any surprising provision requirement in a first year of banking operation. HR cost will keep building up due to continuous hiring; Cost to Income will keep
inching up and should settle at 30% by the time IDFC becomes bank. IDFC has reported a 11.3% y-o-y decrease in PBT from Rs 701 cr to Rs 622 cr. Reported PAT is down
13.6% y-o-y and 12.7% q-o-q to Rs 421 cr.
As a result of a change in depreciation policy, the charge on account of depreciation in standalone accounts is lower for the half year ended Q2FY15 by Rs 81.2 cr and for
the quarter ended Q1FY15 by Rs 80.4 cr (including write-back of Rs 78.9 cr upto March 31, 2014) and in consolidated accounts it is lower by Rs 88.7 cr for the half year
ended September 30, 2014 and for the quarter ended Q1FY15 by Rs 87.7 cr (including writeback of Rs 84.7 cr up to March 31, 2014) as compared to the method used
and useful lives estimated in earlier periods.
Capital Adequacy was at 25.9% as on September 30, 2014 (of which Tier I at 23.7%). The Company has allotted 73000000 equity shares of Rs 10 each at a premium of Rs
127 per share on September 16, 2014 pursuant to a Qualified Institutions Placement under SEBI. The proceeds from the Qualified Institutions Placement is pending
utilization in accordance with the objects as set out in the offer document. The Company during the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2014 has also issued
435916 and 981745 equity shares respectively of face value of Rs 10 each pursuant to exercise of stock options by employees under the employee stock option scheme.
Demerger of Financial undertaking of IDFC Ltd into IDFC Bank Ltd
The Board has approved a proposal to demerge its financing undertaking into its wholly owned step down subsidiary IDFC Bank Limited pursuant to a Scheme of
Arrangement under Sections 391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956 which will be completed over next six-nine months. IDFC Bank Limited will issue one equity share of
Rs. 10 each for every one equity share of Rs. 10 each held in IDFC Limited. The shareholders of IDFC Limited will continue to hold their shares in IDFC Limited. On

completion of demerger, equity share capital of IDFC Bank will be held ~ 53% by IDFC Financial Holding Company Limited, a 100% subsidiary of IDFC Limited, and ~ 47%
by the shareholders of IDFC Limited. The Scheme would be effective upon receipt of all requisite approvals including approval from shareholders, creditors, SEBI, Stock
Exchange(s), RBI, Madras High Court and filing the certified copies of the order of the Madras High Court with the Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu at Chennai and RBI
granting Final Banking License. Bank will be operational by Oct 2015. The proposed bank has to be CRR/SLR compliant on the first day of operations. The company would
build the investment book depending on its interest rate view and be compliant with the norms. IDFC Bank shares will be listed on completion of demerger process
However there is very limited clarity by the company on how the opex, capital allocation will be done and on the overall banking strategy.
Concerns












Inability to raise capital in future could impact growth
Rising interest rates could impact the cost of funds and also impact demand for funds
Inherent risks in infrastructure financing
Lack of infra spending and weak economy could impact demand for loans.
Significant exposures to certain sectors like power (~44% in Q1FY15)
Foreign currency risk as 15% loans borrowed are in foreign currency
Discontinuation of tax benefits could affect profits
Competitive and profitability pressures in the capital market related businesses
Return on Assets has fallen consistently from 3.4% in FY10 to 2.8% in FY13 and further 2.2% in Q2FY15.
ROE to be impacted by the company’s transition from an NBFC to a Bank. Further valuations could be temporarily impacted if the transition steps required for Bank
are deemed to be shareholder unfriendly.
Deliberate slowdown in lending till the Banking operations roll out could slowdown the medium term growth trajectory.
Challenges in setting up the bank remain a risk. Obtaining low cost deposits in a competitive scenario and adhering to priority sector lending are other challenges.
Outlook & Valuation
IDFC has been performing well in the past reflected in growing loan book size, interest income, disbursements and profits. Besides structural advantage over banks, it is
also supported by good management which has expertise in infrastructure lending. This would help in keeping its loan book growth over the medium term intact given
the potential of infrastructure financing in India. A strong return on assets ratio (though falling) of 2.2% as on Sep 2014, capital to support loan book growth, superior
credit quality are the key positives. IDFC has a strong asset quality with net NPA ratio of 42 bps of loans and ROE of 10.8%.
For Q2FY15 Net Interest Income (NII) was down 5.7% y-o-y and 5% q-o-q to Rs 648 cr with decline in loan book. NIMs and average spreads have come down marginally
to 3.8% and 2.1%. Non-interest income has gone up mainly because of higher principal gains up from Rs 198 cr to Rs 449 cr. Net Infra loans de-grew 3.5% to 53,038 cr.
Asset quality has been maintained with GNPAs coming down slightly to 0.62% while NNPAs have come down 0.42%. Provisions have gone up from Rs 50.1 cr to Rs 281.2
cr y-o-y. Reported PAT was down 13.4% y-o-y to Rs 421 cr.
Management has the conscious strategy of not growing the loan book aggressively in the tough borrowing environment. IDFC did manage well its spread despite high
interest rate environment. Its asset quality though has deteriorated in the prevailing weak macros but has remained healthy with GNPAs at 0.62% and NNPAs at 0.42%

With IDFC transitioning to a bank, profitability is likely to come under severe pressure owing to regulatory requirements of a bank (CRR, SLR and priority sector targets).
However recent relaxations in allowing Banks to raise 7 year bonds to fund infra lending augur well for IDFC. Further introduction of REIT could boost fee income of
capital market subsidiaries of IDFC.
In FY15-16, we expect loan book to remain flat as IDFC focuses on compliance as a bank and setting up the banking infrastructure. We are revising operating expenses
and provisions for FY15 and FY16 taking into account company’s policy of making higher provisions with a view to avoid any surprising provision requirement in a first
year of banking operation and likely higher operating expenses in its run-up of its banking foray. Opex is likely to inch up due to establishment cost of bank the
resumption of growth will keep the cost income under check. Loan growth may be flat in the following years with diversified assets getting in. In next two – three
quarters, the bank will have been formed. The coming few quarters could see little growth in balance sheet and hence unexciting operational performance.
Improvement of scenario for the infra sector with relaxed lending norms announced in the budget and the demerger ratio announced have led to recent run-up in the
stock. Over medium term, further value unlocking seems possible if shareholders are offered shares of different businesses like AMC, Bank, Securities etc.
Possibility of getting 1 free share in a private sector Bank could act as a margin of safety and keep the share price buoyant.
In our Q1FY15 result update on IDFC dated August 05 2014 to buy the stock on dips to Rs 135 - Rs 141 (1.15x – 1.2x FY15E Adj BV) for a target of Rs 158 (1.35.x FY15E Adj
BV) in 1 quarter. Post that the stock has touched a high of Rs 153.35 on 19th August 2014 and a low of Rs 134.1 on 8th October 2014.
We think investors could buy the stock at CMP and add on dips to Rs 129 - Rs 135 (1.1x – 1.15x FY15E Adj BV) for a target of Rs 164(1.4.x FY15E Adj BV) in 1 quarter.
