MOSL: REPCO HOME FINANCE (Buy)-Strong operating performance-GNPL declines sequentially

Repco Home Finance: Strong operating performance; GNPL declines sequentially

(REPCO IN, Mkt Cap USD0.6b, CMP INR615, TP INR800, 30% Upside, Buy)

Repco Home Finance (REPCO) reported 2QFY18 PAT of INR559m (+22% YoY), driven by an improvement in margins and contained opex growth.

  • Disbursements picked up after three slow quarters post demonetization. At INR7.5b this quarter, it is just 15% below the levels of 2QFY17 (before demonetization). This drove sequential loan growth of 3.6%, the highest since demonetization. With a pick-up in disbursements, coupled with a favorable base, we expect loan growth for FY18 to be in mid-teens.
  • Repayment rate in the quarter was 20.4%, in line with the past trends (excluding 1QFY18). We are encouraged by the fact that the company has been able to keep the repayment rate stable.
  • Another key highlight this quarter was the strong yield on loans, which increased 40bp sequentially to 11.9% due to NPL recoveries and re-pricing in LAP portfolio. As a result, spreads/margin were up 50bp YoY to 3.4%/4.8%.
  • The company witnessed a decline in absolute GNPLs (-INR377m QoQ to INR3.2b) after six quarters. GNPL ratio declined from 4% to 3.4% sequentially, driven by a 120bp fall in LAP NPLs to 5.2%.
