​Indiabulls Housing Finance: Strong growth, stable performance overall

(IHFL IN, Mkt Cap USD7.6b, CMP INR1155, TP INR1350, 17% Upside, Buy)

  • Indiabulls Housing Finance's (IHFL) PAT grew 23% YoY to INR7.8b (8% below our estimate), mainly driven by lower-than-estimated income on investments. Core operating performance was robust, with strong AUM growth (+33% YoY), stable spreads and a decline in C/I ratio.
  • Management alluded to strong growth witnessed in the home loan segment, especially the mass housing segment. Disbursements were up 39% YoY in home loans. Yields continue to remain under pressure (down 14bp QoQ and 94bp YoY to 11.49%). However, due to the sharp decline in cost of funds, reported spreads remained intact at 3.24%. Management continues to guide for incremental spreads in the range of 2.75-3% and book spreads of 3-3.25%. We believe the company will continue delivering at the higher end of its guided range over the foreseeable future.
  • The share of home loans in the overall book inched up 100bp to 57%. Management reiterated its guidance of 66% share of home loans by FY20.
  • The liability mix continued to evolve in favor of NCDs. Management plans to raise bulk of incremental funding from NCDs, taking the share of NCDs to 60% by FY20 (currently 52%).
