MOSL: MUTHOOT FINANCE (Neutral)-Tepid quarter on growth, but outlook better

MUTHOOT FINANCE: Tepid quarter on growth, but outlook betterMUTHOOT FINANCE: Tepid quarter on growth, but outlook better(MUTH IN, Mkt Cap USD3.6b, CMP INR650, TP INR715, 10% Upside, Neutral)
** 2QFY20 PBT increased 41% YoY to INR10.5b, driven by one-off strong GNPL recoveries, which led to income of INR2b. Excluding this one-time income, PBT grew 14% YoY to INR8.5b. PAT for the quarter was INR8.6b, driven by 18% tax rate.
** Company took a cautious stance on growth due to tightness in liquidity. As a result, AUM was broadly flat QoQ (up 11% YoY) at INR357b. However, MUTH has raised USD450m senior notes from the international market as well as INR4.6b from retail NCDs in Oct'19 - hence, loan growth has resumed in 3QFY20. 
** Excluding the INR2b income mentioned above, yields have improved 50bp QoQ to 21.7% v/s 20bp increase in CoF to 9.5%. While cost of funds may further increase due to the external borrowings, we expect the company to largely maintain spreads at 12%.
