Aditya Birla Capital: Robust growth and healthy asset quality intact

(ABCAP IN, Mkt Cap USD5.7b, CMP INR168, TP INR225, 34% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Aditya Birla Capital (ABCL) reported a healthy quarter, with consolidated PBT growing 30% YoY to INR4.1b, but reported PAT increasing 12% YoY due to normalization of tax rate (36% v/s 21% in the year-ago period). Base quarter had a one-off tax gain of ~INR400m.
  • NBFC segment: Loan book grew 2%/33% QoQ/YoY to INR398b, driven by 35% YoY growth in 9MFY18 disbursements. The share of mid-corporate loans declined from 17% in 2QFY18 to 15% in the quarter, mainly due to heavy repayments in the structured finance book. RoA/RoE was stable at 1.9%/14.5%, while the GNPL ratio inched up to 0.7% (from 0.5% in 2QFY18).
  • AMC segment: While overall AAUM grew 24% YoY to INR2.4t, equity AAUM rose by a stupendous 84% YoY to INR800b. Its share is now 33% v/s 22% in 3QFY17. We expect the increasing share of equity AAUM to drive PAT margin expansion from 10bp in FY17 to 15bp by FY20.
  • Others: 1) HFC Loan growth remains robust (+17% QoQ to INR67b); the share of home loans continues to inch up (+300bp YoY to 60%). 2) HFC margins and C/I ratio remain stable at 3%/77%. 3) 13th month persistency (cum.) improved 170bp QoQ to 72.1%. 4) Product mix was stable, with the share of ULIP/PAR/Non-PAR/Protection at 35%/28%/32%/5%.
