MOSL: STATE BANK OF INDIA (Buy)-Healthy standalone operating performance marred by huge clean-up in Abs

​State Bank of India: Healthy standalone operating performance marred by huge clean-up in Abs

(SBIN IN, Mkt Cap USD32.8b, CMP INR308, TP INR375, 22% Upside, Buy)

  • BIN parent: Reported PAT increased 1.2x YoY and 8% QoQ to INR28.1b (26% beat), led by a robust core PPoP performance (+27% YoY to ~INR118b). Key positives for 4QFY17 were: a) NNPAs fell 5% QoQ; 70% of corporate slippages of INR78b were from the already identified watch-list. b) Impressive NIM performance - adjusting for one-offs, NIM expanded ~8bp QoQ to 2.8%. c) Focus on granular retail loans (+21/9% YoY/QoQ) driven by broad-based growth across housing (+17% YoY), auto (+21% YoY) and personal loans (+30%).
  • Parent asset quality: Net slippages fell marginally QoQ, but remained elevated at INR81.6b (net slippage ratio 2.2% annualized) v/s INR82.9b in 3Q. Strong operating profitability allowed SBIN to take higher provisions (INR117.4b; INR89.4b in 3Q). Absolute NNPA thus fell 5% QoQ to 3.7% of loans (3Q: 4.2%).
  • Massive clean-up quarter for ABs: ABs reported net loss of ~INR60b in 4Q, driven by continued harmonization of accounting policy (esp. on asset quality) with parent. Consol. GNPA and NNPA stood at 9.1% and 5.2%, respectively.
  • SBIN declared post-merger revised watch-list of INR324.7b (1.6% of loans), of which ~INR110b can be attributed to AB exposures. Power (34% of watch-list), Steel (11%) and Telecom (10%) remain the key monitorables here.
