MANAPPURAM FINANCE: Gold AUM and holdings moderate further; auctions remain elevated

(MGFL IN, Mkt Cap USD2.2b, CMP INR191, TP INR220, 15% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Manappuram Finance (MGFL) reported consolidated PAT at INR4.4b (up ~19% YoY / down 7% QoQ; 8% miss) in 1QFY22. The company missed our expectations due to a 5% miss on NII (down 2% QoQ) at INR10.3b and elevated provisions at INR1.2b (11% above estimate). PPoP at INR7.1b (5% miss) was down 3% QoQ and up 11% YoY.
  • The gold loan book declined 13% QoQ to INR165b and gold holdings 11% QoQ to 58.1t. Over the last two quarters, gold holdings have cumulatively declined 15% and gold AUM 18% over this period. In all non-gold segments, the respective loan books were flat sequentially.
  • MGFL has taken a cautious view on gold prices – to guard itself against decline in prices, the company has deemed it more prudent to auction gold to de-risk itself. In the process, it has had to trade off growth for protection on asset quality.
  • The management shared that it has introduced attractive products/schemes for higher ticket size customers to protect its turf from pricing competition. It guided that this could lead to yield compression but sustain growth.
