SHRIRAM TRANSPORT FINANCE: Liquidity crunch weighs on growth across segments
(SHTF IN, Mkt Cap USD3.3b, CMP INR1028, TP INR1400, 36% Upside, Buy)

Shriram Transport Finance (SHTF) reported 3QFY19 PAT at INR6.4b, in line with of our estimate of INR6.2b (17% YoY growth). However, largely flattish AUM QoQ surprised negatively. Liquidity crunch in the system impacted disbursements (down 32% QoQ and 30% YoY). Company increased securitization book during the quarter to INR193b v/s INR166b a quarter ago.

AUM grew 15% YoY and was flat QoQ at INR1.04t. Within AUM, share of new commercial vehicles (CVs) declined 5% QoQ, while used CVs and others were largely flat QoQ.

The used commercial vehicle (CV) loan book grew 11% YoY, while the new CV segment and other segments registered robust growth of 25% and 57% YoY, respectively. The share of others increased to 5.4% of the AUM v/s 3.9% a year ago, with the segment contributing ~16% to the incremental growth YoY.

Reported margins were down 5-10bp, both QoQ and YoY to 7.44%. C/I ratio came in flat at 21% on a YoY basis.

Gross Stage 3 loans declined 4% YoY to INR90b. However, Gross Stage 3 as % of AUM increased to 8.8% v/s 8.6% in 2QFY19, even as AUM declined. Credit costs came in at INR6.4b (v/s estimate of INR6.9b). We attribute this to lower standard asset provisioning due to no loan growth in the quarter.
