Being with Certainty
ING Vysya Bank (IVB) is on right track Since 2009, IVB has emerged stronger with a structurally improved balance sheet and regional profile. Bank delivered earnings CAGR of 37% and RoA expansion of 30bps over FY10‐12. In spite of increasingly challenging macro, we believe IVB would continue to perform well due to following
Robust loan profile: Pre‐dominantly a working capital bank in wholesale/SME segments (combined ~75% of book). Well‐diversified credit profile with low exposure to ailing sectors. Largely secured retail book.
Resilient NIM outlook: Portfolio spread has displayed impressive resilience. CASA ratio to improve driven by acceleration in savings growth. Favorable product mix shift and decline in wholesale rates to also support margin.
Huge headroom for opex leverage: Shedding of legacy‐related employee cost and productivity improvement to drive lower‐than‐asset opex growth. Cost/income ratio expected to improve from 59% in FY12 to 54% by FY14.
Strong asset quality: Gross NPL ratio declined sharply over FY10‐12 aided by benign slippages. Restructuring has been minimal (~1.4% of loans). Outlook on slippages/restructuring remains non‐perturbing.
Comfort from high PCR: Counter‐cyclical buffer build over past two years (PCR at 90%); Net NPL/Networth at just 1.3%. Opex leverage benefits to fully transmit to bottomline; earnings to witness a brisk 23% CAGR over FY12‐14.
Secular RoA improvement: Stable margins, decline in cost/income ratio and modest credit cost to underpin continued RoA expansion. Most banks are facing a declining RoA curve. Bank well‐capitalized with Tier‐1 ratio at 10.7%.
Fits in our theme of ‘Buying Certainty’ v/s ‘Buying Valuation’ Investment theme in the banking sector has been unilateral for some time given unnerving macro situation. While high preference for certainty has enriched valuation of few large private banks, IVB has been ignored despite its robust fundamentals. An improving RoA metric differentiates the bank from most others and therefore stock valuation could likely see a sharp re‐rating. Initiate coverage with a BUY rating and 9‐month price target of Rs460.

IVB has emerged stronger under the new management Under the aegis of Mr.Shailendra Bhandari, MD & CEO (appointed in August 2009), and revamped management team, ING Vysya Bank (IVB) has witnessed a system‐beating loan CAGR of 25% over FY10‐12. More importantly, the brisk asset growth was not driven by chunky project loans but by granular and less risky working capital funding disbursed to wholesale (25% CAGR) and SME (40% CAGR) customers. Growth CAGR in Mortgages was lower at 16% impacted by change in leadership and product mix (towards LAP ‐ loans against property) during FY12. Currently, loan profile is well‐spread between three main segments, Wholesale/Corporate Banking (43%), SME Banking (31%) and Retail Banking (20%).
IVB has significantly reduced its South India concentration over the past few years by opening majority of new branches in other regions. South India’s share in the distribution network has declined from 82% in FY08 to 68% in Q1 FY13. The branch mix has also moved towards metro and urban areas.

Underpinned by strong focus on asset quality, IVB delivered robust 37% earnings CAGR over FY10‐12 on a much slower balance sheet CAGR of 18%. Such impressive profit performance was despite the bank following a conservative provisioning policy that improved PCR from 60% to 90%. RoA improved by 30bps in the aforesaid period to cross 1%. Apart from lower delinquencies, structural expansion in NIM contributed to the significant improvement in operating metric.
SME lending to remain a core part of loan portfolio Business Banking (SME) has been core to IVB. Several years of experience has made the bank proficient in this segment as manifested in sustenance of high credit quality (GNPL ratio of <1% over the past few years). SME business is closely related to branches as it has been developed based on strong client relationships. Bank predominantly advances working capital loans to stringently appraised SMEs against hard collateral (physical assets such as office, house, gold, etc). Currently, the book is more than 100% covered with comfortable cushion for collateral devaluation. More importantly, all the loan accounts are monitored closely and the bank proactively exits an account showing signs of weakness. IVB’s SME book is also granular (average ticket size small) and de‐risked (well diversified by industry). Over the past three years, there has been a structural shift in the loan portfolio of IVB towards the SME segment; its proportion has increased from 22% in Q1 FY10 to 31% in Q1 FY13. With delinquencies on this book running much lower than expectations, this segment has been the key driver of bank’s profitability. While the bank may turn slightly cautious on SME loans in the light of deteriorating macro, the contribution of this segment is unlikely to come down.

Mortgages and gold loans to drive an improved growth in retail portfolio Stability in leadership and continued focus on LAP is expected to drive a reasonably strong growth in mortgages. IVB has been focusing on increasing the LAP component within due to higher yields (by 1‐2% as compared to home loans) and enhanced comfort from rising property prices. LAP’s share in mortgage disbursals has substantially increased from 14% in FY10 to 48% in FY12. Currently, this product forms 20‐22% of the mortgage portfolio. Gold loans is another retail product on which the bank has increased emphasis. It has been re‐engineered and re‐launched and is currently being offered through 180 branches, more focused in the southern region where the market is developed. Monthly AUM acquisition rate has improved sequentially from Rs250‐300mn in Q4 FY12 to Rs300‐350mn in Q1 FY13. Bank expects it to increase to Rs500‐600mn by the end of the current fiscal. Personal loans, presently negligible 0.7% of loan book, would also likely witness healthy growth primarily driven by cross‐selling to existing customers.

Refocus on emerging corporate within wholesale banking Emerging Corporate (EC) is a piece of wholesale banking that deals with companies having turnover up to Rs15bn ie essentially mid market companies. IVB had slowed down underwriting this business since 2008 in the wake of high delinquencies. Now the bank intends to refocus on this business by establishing a specialized team, with renewed business strategy and by being extremely vigilant. Within the wholesale segment, IVB would continue to leverage parent ING’s global relationships to enter new domestic clients and deepen relationships with large Indian corporate. For the overall loan book, we expect 20% CAGR over FY12‐14 with segmental portfolio mix unlikely to witness a major shift. Well‐diversified wholesale book (end of June’12)

CASA ratio has been resilient; expected to improve going forward Unlike most banks, IVB has been successful in sustaining its CASA ratio in the range of 32‐34% over the past nine quarters despite steep increase in short‐term rates and tight system liquidity. Retail bank CASA average has risen from Rs65.8bn in Q4 FY10 to Rs86.2bn in Q1 FY13. Average CASA/Branch has improved from Rs114mn in FY09 to Rs181mn in Q1 FY13. Trend in CA and SA ratios

The traction in CA portion has been buoyant with its share in total deposits increasing from 15.5% in Q1 FY11 to 18.4% in Q1 FY13. The bank’s strategy of targeting individual promoter accounts of SMEs and penetrating self‐employed, non‐professionals and small businesses has paid‐off. On the other side, savings balance growth has been weak in recent quarters at near 5% yoy, impacted by higher savings rate offered by some private banks and migration of savings balances to term deposits due to attractive rate differential. However, a redeeming factor has been strong addition of salary accounts in the range of 45,000‐60,000 per quarter in the past four quarters. This has not only broadened the base of savings deposits but also represents an opportunity for generating fee income through cross‐selling of various services/products. We believe that reversal of rate cycle (reduction in FD rates by 150‐200bps), cross‐sell in existing salary accounts and sustained robust addition of new salary accounts should improve the savings ratio of the bank in the longer term. This along with continued buoyancy in current account growth would drive a structural improvement in the CASA ratio.

Structural and cyclical factors to keep NIM stable Driven by a sharp increase in C/D ratio, favourable change in loan mix and material improvement in CASA ratio, IVB’s NIM remarkably improved from 2.8% in FY09 to 3.3% in FY12. Even in the recent interest rate up cycle wherein margin of most banks exhibited high volatility, ING’s NIM moved in a relatively narrow band of 3‐3.4% manifesting inherent resilience. Margin outlook for the bank remains sanguine on account of 1) IVB has not announced a base rate cut yet; has only reduced rates for selected products 2) blended loan yield would receive support from shift in product mix towards better yielding products such as gold loans, LAP, personal loans/CV loans, etc 3) steep decline (150‐250bps) in the cost of CDs (~13% of deposits) and wholesale TDs since March should drive funding cost lower in the near term 4) longer term CASA improvement would enhance deposit profile. The bank is likely to sustain NIM in the range of 3.2‐3.3% for FY13/14. NIM has moved in a narrow range of 3‐3.4%

Diversified fee income; growth to remain healthy For IVB, the non‐interest income component is high at 30‐35% of total income. The fee income stream of the bank is well‐diversified amongst five key sources viz liabilities, assets, trade finance & cash management, wealth management & advisory and forex. Liabilities driven fees grew by 15% in FY12 and is likely to grow faster this year on account of strong traction in current deposits and salary account additions. Though asset related fees would be positively influenced by the envisaged shift in product mix, it is expected to largely track the overall loan growth. High volatility in currency market and introduction of travel related foreign exchange services would continue to drive impressive growth in forex income. Traction in wealth management & advisory fees has been weak (5% de‐growth in FY12) and is likely to remain so given lackluster capital markets. Trade finance & cash management has been growing at healthy pace of near 20% yoy. We expect overall fee income to grow slightly behind the balance sheet over the next two years.
Except wealth management & advisory, growth outlook in other fee streams resilient Overall fee growth to be slightly slower than balance sheet

Substantial room for operating leverage; cost/income ratio to improve IVB has been operating at elevated cost/income ratio due to higher staffing levels, employee salaries and other opex/branch. Whereas most banks operate in the range of 40‐50%, IVB had cost/income ratio of 59% in FY12. As compared to other South India based banks that have opex/avg.assets ratio of 1.65‐1.75%, IVB is operating at 2.6%. While this highlights inefficiency in the bank’s operations, it also suggests a huge scope of operating leverage.

Higher staffing and remuneration levels could be partially attributed to legacy issues in employee base. However, the proportion of unionized staff has declined from 80% to 33% of total employees. Though IVB’s branch productivity as measured by indicators such as business/branch and revenue/branch is better than peers, it is below par in absolute terms given much higher employee cost and other opex per branch. Correspondingly, bank’s per employee productivity metrics is inferior to its southern peers. Management has intensified focus on improving the cost/income ratio by checking the opex growth. In FY12, the ratio improved to 59% from 62% in FY11. The positive trend continued in Q1 FY13 with the ratio declining further to 58%. A calibrated branch expansion, selective relocation and brisk asset growth enhanced branch productivity over the past three years. With significant headroom for further improvement, we expect cost/income ratio to decline to 54% by FY14. Key risk would be a slower than estimated asset growth over the next two years.

Asset quality has been resilient; restructuring has been negligible In a not‐so‐favourable macro environment of FY11/12, IVB’s asset quality witnessed substantial improvement with Gross NPL level falling sharply from 3.3% in Q1 FY11 to 2% in Q1 FY13. This was while most mid‐sized banks saw a material increase in their bad loan ratio. Aided by benign delinquency levels (0.5‐1%) and meaningful recoveries/upgradations of forthrightly recognized NPAs during FY09/10, bank’s Gross NPAs actually declined in absolute terms during FY11/12. Even during the past two quarters, wherein the banking industry witnessed a substantial accretion in bad loans, IVB’s Gross NPAs have risen by modest Rs250‐300mn per quarter.
Bulk of the incremental slippages during FY11/12 came from emerging corporate segment. Most of the weak accounts have slipped and substantial delinquencies in future are unlikely as the bank has grown slowly in this segment over FY10‐12. Slippage in the SME/Business Banking segment, which is a large component of bank’s advances, has been negligible over the past couple of years; in stark contrast to most banks. Gross NPL ratio on this book stands at meagre 0.3‐0.4% against typically priced 2‐3%. This dichotomy between the bank and industry vindicates management’s assertion that IVB’s SME book is superior in quality supported by a relatively stringent origination and monitoring (proactive exit strategy).

Being largely a working capital bank in the corporate/SME segments, IVB has a small component of term/project loans. Further, bank has no exposure to SEBs and aviation sector while having only marginal exposure to other ailing sectors such as infra/power, textiles and metals & mining. Considering this, it is not surprising that IVB has not witnessed material restructuring activity during FY12 and Q1 FY13. Excluding the microfinance exposure of ~Rs1bn, the bank has restructured only a couple of wholesale banking accounts. Currently, restructured assets stand at miniscule 1.4% of total advances; substantially lower than most mid‐sized banks. Further the near‐term outlook remains sanguine with no material requests in the pipeline. It is important to note that during FY09/10 downturn, IVB acted conservatively by doing little restructuring and recognizing stressed loans as NPAs directly.
IVB does not foresee material asset quality stress in near term with no major accounts in the portfolio showing signs of weakness. Though delinquency ratio could rise (normalize especially in SME portfolio) in ensuing quarters, it would continue to be lower than peers due to the bank’s not‐so‐significant exposure to sectors that are under significant stress. Further, low stock of restructured assets reduces the risk of any negative surprise on slippages. We build in slippage ratio of 1.1‐1.2% for FY13/14 against 0.7% in FY12. Resultantly, we expect Gross NPL ratio to marginally increase to 2.1‐2.2%.

Unwarranted concern around the bank’s Telecom exposure IVB has a large telecom sector exposure in its wholesale banking segment comprising around 8% of total advances. More importantly, it is highly concentrated in two accounts, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) and Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd (combined 85‐90% of sectoral exposure). With the Supreme Court later cancelling these licenses, the two telcos have been scaling back operations. So while concern around these exposures is natural, it seems to have been exaggerated by the market. Both the telcos have been servicing their interest obligation till now. More importantly, individual exposures are backed by 100% payment guarantee from Telenor (for Uninor) and the parent ING (for Sistema Shyam) as the lending was done based on global relationship of the parent bank. As per recent media articles, the Telenor Group has repaid all Uninor bank loans under its guarantee (implies that IVB would have received its loan funds of ~Rs10bn). Similarly, we also expect the bank to be reimbursed its other telco exposure in case the underlying guarantee gets invoked. High PCR lends comfort in tough times A key highlight of the bank’s performance in the past couple of years has been its conservatism towards NPL provisioning. As highlighted before, IVB’s PCR substantially improved from 60% to 90% in the aforementioned time. At present level, it is one of the highest in the industry. Concomitantly, higher provisioning also drove a sharp decline in net NPL ratio from 1.2% to a negligible 0.2%. As such, bank’s Net NPL/Networth ratio of just 1.3% as on March’12 provides a lot of comfort. Based on the extant asset quality risks, IVB would rank amongst the lowest in the industry. The build counter‐cyclical provisioning buffer would act like a fortress in the medium term, containing the requirement of incremental provisioning even if the bank were to see high delinquencies. We therefore estimate IVB’s credit cost at 50‐60bps in FY13/14. This would ensure that benefits of operating leverage are nearly fully transmitted and earnings CAGR remains robust (estimated 23% over FY12‐14; impressive given challenging outlook).

Improvement in RoA to continue; capitalization is sufficient IVB’s RoA has witnessed impressive expansion of 30bps over FY10‐12; crossing the mark of 1%. The improvement could have been larger had the bank not built some counter cyclical provisioning buffer. We expect RoA progression to continue but at a moderate pace over FY12‐14. The incremental expansion would be supported by operating leverage, robust NIMs and measured provisioning. Resultantly, bank’s RoE would improve to 15% by FY14. Beyond FY14, we see further scope for RoA/RoE improvement driven by further decline in cost/income ratio and increase in leverage. Currently, the bank is well‐capitalized with CAR and Tier‐1 ratio of 13.4% and 10.7% respectively. We expect substantial plough backs to keep the bank adequately capitalized over the next two years despite a brisk balance sheet growth.

IVB fits in our theme of ‘Buying Certainty’ v/s ‘Buying Valuation’ Despite structural RoA improvement and displaying an impressive resilience in asset quality, IVB’s valuation has remained subdued. We believe an improving RoA metric differentiates the bank from most others and therefore stock valuation could see a sharp re‐rating in the medium term. IVB fits in our theme of ‘Buying Certainty’ v/s ‘Buying Valuation’ in the sector as we see increasing challenges both on growth and asset quality front.
Investment comfort is further reinforced by critical similarities IVB shares with HDFC Bank viz. lower exposure to project loans/stressed industries, lesser accretion in stressed assets, resilient NIM/fee income franchise, high PCR/negligible Net NPL ratio, low stock of restructured assets and resilient earnings growth outlook. While high preference for certainty has enriched valuation of few large private banks, IVB has been ignored despite robust fundamentals. Initiate coverage with a BUY rating and 9‐month price objective of Rs460 based on a target multiple of 1.45x FY14 P/adj.BV. IVB is also our Top Pick in mid‐cap banking universe.
