L&T Finance: Well capitalized for growth; 15% accretion to BVPS on account of recent capital infusion

  • L&T Finance (LTFH) recently raised equity capital amounting to INR30b, of which INR20b came from the parent (L&T). As a result, leverage has declined from previous elevated levels of ~8.5x to ~6.1x now.
  • Over the past two years, there has been a modest increase in the share of retail loans from 26% to 30%. On the wholesale lending front, there has been a mix shift toward real estate finance, which is likely to translate into strong growth in the retail home loan segment in the coming years.
  • Post capital infusion, our BVPS estimates for FY19/20E have been revised upward by 17%/13%. While RoE will appear optically lower due to low leverage (FY20E RoE of 16%), we expect LTFH to achieve its targeted RoE of 18% by FY21. The stock trades at 2.1x FY20E BVPS – a discount to our NBFC coverage universe (ex-GRUH) average of 2.4x.
