MOSL: BHARAT FINANCIAL INCLUSION (Under Review)-Post-demonetization recovery taking root

​Bharat Financial Inclusion: Post-demonetization recovery taking root

(BHAFIN IN, Mkt Cap USD2.0b, CMP INR972, Under Review)

  • BHAFIN reported 2QFY18 PAT of INR1.2b (3% miss), driven by a healthy uptick in net income (+4% beat), offset by higher-than-expected credit costs. We believe that a post-demonetization recovery is taking root, and is likely to continue in the coming quarters.
  • AUM grew 17% YoY to INR106b, reflecting an upward trajectory for the second consecutive quarter. This, coupled with the fact that active borrowers (+3% QoQ) and the number of loans disbursed (+12% QoQ) increased sequentially after 2-3 quarters of decline, gives us confidence in a better operating environment, going forward. We forecast AUM to touch INR134b in FY18, reflecting annual growth of 47%.
  • We note that cumulative collection efficiency from Jan-17 to Oct-17 for loans disbursed (INR 126b) during the same period stands at 99.8%. Portfolio originated during the same period is 82% of the gross loan portfolio (GLP).
