    Edelweiss Securities Limited

    Kotak Mahindra Bank (KMB) reported robust performance, as Q2FY18 was characterised by crystallisation of synergy benefits (revenue and opex). Key highlight was the sustained delivery on loan growth>20% YoY (moving to pre-merger level). This, along with superior NIMs (4.3%, albeit down 20bps QoQ on competitive lending yields) and strong core fees, helped KMB register robust core revenue momentum. Meanwhile, higher opex (albeit lower than Q1FY18) and softer treasury led to marginally below estimated PAT. Asset quality continued to strengthenoverall stress (GNPLs + restructured) at 2.5% with credit cost contained at 50% YoY, raising CASA ratio to ~48%. With limited levers in credit cost & opex, sustained revenue traction will be key for RoE improvement (recent capital raising will cap RoE at low mid teens). Maintain HOLD.

    Growth traction building up

    Integration challenges followed by demonetisation weighed on loan growth. However,

    KMBs performance over the past couple of quarters indicates that synergy benefits have

    started crystallising, with loan growth crossing 20% in Q2FY18. This was led by CV, home

    loans/LAP and unsecured portfolio within retail and supported by bumped-up corporate

    spurt. More impressively, the liability franchise continued to strengthen (savings base has

    nearly doubled over the past 2 years) and KMB is also investing heavily in digital

    initiativestransforming the way business is sourced and transacted (811 is a case in

    point). Even stress pool stands at comfortable level despite absorbing stress from eIVBLs

    portfolio, lending comfort that credit cost will be under control. Robust franchise, limited

    stress baggage, strong capital position and digital initiatives equip KMB with the

    ammunition to sustain growth opportunities.

    Outlook and valuations: Synergies playing out; maintain HOLD

    H1FY18 performance reflects synergy benefits playing through on cost as well as revenue

    fronts. With recent equity infusion, leveraging of this capital in financing business &

    efficient allocation across other businesses will be critical for RoE improvement. With

    significant benefits likely to flow from formalisation of financial savings, subsidiaries

    could see strong business tailwinds. Valuations at 3.8x FY19E P/ABV (banking business for

    RoE of 14% by FY19E) factor in fair bit of upside. Maintain HOLD/SP with TP of INR1,056.

    Asset quality holding fort

    Asset quality continued to be best-in-class with GNPLs at 2.47% (2.58% in Q1FY18).

    Impressively, the KMB did not have any divergence with respect to RBIs annual inspection.

    Furthermore, the banks exposure to RBIs 2 lists is limited and the bank has adequately

    provided for these accounts. Even then, credit cost stood at 40% YoY.

    Life insurance: Growth momentum maintained

    Life insurance sustained a fairly good quarter with individual WRP registering >30% YoY

    growth. However, lower contribution from group business (down >1% YoY) restricted

    NBP to INR6.9bn (up 16.6 % YoY). The improvement also seems to have percolated to

    renewal premiums (up >26% YoY), leading to ~16% YoY growth in gross written

    premium.

    Life insurance business reported PAT of INR1bn (INR1bn in Q1FY18, INR3bn in FY17 and

    INR2.5bn in FY16).

    Solvency ratio came in at 308% (304% in Q1FY18 and regulatory requirement of 150%).

    The bank has acquired Old Mutuals 26% stake in Kotak Life for INR12.93bn.

    Kotak Mahindra Prime: Back on growth track

    The quarter was characterised by strong 15% YoY growth in overall car financing

    portfolio (to INR198bn). This, along with strong growth in capital market related lending

    in Q2FY18, led to overall customer asset growth of >21% YoY. Management expects

    growth to gain traction given a few new initiatives (launched consumer durable

    financing business through KMP).

    There was some rise in stress pool with NNPLs at 41bps (36bps in Q1FY18).

    Kotak Securities: Steady performance

    Average daily trading volumes (ADTV) came in at INR124bn (up >36% YoY/13% QoQ),

    leading to market share of 1.9% (stable QoQ).

    Revenue and PAT came in at INR3.5bn (up ~19.4% YoY) and INR1.2bn (up >22% YoY),

    Asset management: AUM growth momentum sustained

    AUM growth extended traction, growing >55% YoY. AUMs crossed the INR1.1-tn mark

    with equity AUMs amounting to INR369bn (up >21% QoQ).

    Meanwhile, given that cost in AMC is not amortised, faster growth in business leads to

    strain on profitability. Consequently, profitability was soft with PBT at INR340mn (albeit

    improving) and PAT came in at INR230mn (INR150mn in Q1FY18 and INR550mn in

    FY17).

    Investment banking: Volatility persists

    Kotak Mahindra Capital Company (KMCC), the investment banking division, reported

    loss of INR10mn (INR50mn in Q1FY18, INR460mn in FY17 and INR320mn in FY16).

    While the division has several mandates in the pipeline (ECM and advisory), it remains

    to be seen how much it will contribute to bottom line.

    Key highlights of Q2FY18 concall takeaways

    With respect to growth

    Management believes that recpitalisation is like a steroid for the economy and would

    potentially kick start economic reform process. PSU Banks will be able to take the

    bolder steps even if this means to take higher haircut (as now they will have ability

    and capital to do so). This will also open more opportunity for distress asset as well.

    For the quarter was pegged at >20% YoY, across various area. The bank continues to

    maintain the growth guidance of 20% plus for FY18 ( even accounting for the

    announcement yesterday).

    o Corporate segment grew > 26% growth (largely gaining market share). This is due

    to both deepening of presence in high quality corporate and new customer

    acquisition in mid-corporate segment. The bank continues to remain confident of

    clocking 20-25% growth.

    o Agri, home loan/LAP and unsecured portfolio (business loans/PL/CCs) witnessed

    sharp momentum this quarter. The management believes that consumption story

    will continue.

    o CV/CE saw a very good growth during the quarter up >33% YoY (all segment of

    CVs has seen growth expect for small CV portfolio).

    CASA deposit now standing. SA has registered a strong 60% growth, this has some

    element of lumpy government business. The core saving growth ( ex-government

    savings) is still > 40%.

    Opex during the quarter was relatively higher (albeit lower sequentially) due to a) the

    marketing and advertising expenses related to 811 scheme and b) acquisition of some

    PSLCs.

    This is the first year wherein the bank sees first time the revenue synergies has started

    to play out, having said that banks still believe there is some more way to go.

    The bank sees the challenges continuing in SME space and which is why the bank is

    growing cautiously in this segment (reflected in softer business banking growth).

    With respect of asset quality

    The bank has nothing to report on divergence, based on t he RBI review for FY17.

    In terms of accounts under NCLT: The bank had exposure to 4 accounts (from eIVBL

    book) in first list. In terms of the second list, the exposure are relatively small and

    bank highlighted that they are very adequately provided for.

    Credit cost in line with guidance. The bank see it at levels of trending down from FY17

    levels of 61bps. The bank maintained the same guidance.

    SMA-2 at INR2.5bn (0.16% of advances) , versus INR3.05bn in previous quarter.

    There was no sale to ARC during the quarter. The bank doesnt believe in selling for SRs,

    bank will sell only on cash basis if any.

  • Kotak Mahindra Bank

    7 Edelweiss Securities Limited

    With respect to digital banking updates:

    Traction in 811 is going strong: ~10.5 mn customers.

    Within the customers acquired through 811 : a) 91% is within 18-35 years ( far more

    digital savvy customers and can be leveraged) b) 45% are salaried and c) 63% are

    from top 20 cities

    Monthly transactions on mobile more than doubled.

    Digital contribution in overall sourcing one of the highest in the Industry

    o ~77% - Recurring Deposit sourced digitally

    o ~60% - Term Deposit sourced digitally

    o ~29% of the Salaried Personal Loan is through digital share

    Other highlights

    There were some interest income reversal on agri. portfolio which has impacted the

    NIMs during the quarter. The bank maintained the NIMs guidance of 4.25% (which bank

    feels is more sustainable level). The bank is seeing yield pressure on higher quality

    corporate (substitution effect playing through), having said that the bank will focus on

    quality business and will continue to look at risk adjusted margins.

    The company now own 100% of the life insurance business. It acquired 26% stake in life

    insurance business for INR12.93bn. The bank has concluded acquisition of BSS

    Microfinance.

    As of now the fixed rate book is 30% and of the balance 70% (floating book), the bank

    has MCLR linked loans at 70%.

    The banks believe that under IFRS the banks net-worth would be higher than current

    reported net-wroth.

    8 Edelweiss Securities Limited

    Key highlights of Q1FY18 concall takeaways

    With respect to growth

    For the quarter was pegged at 19% YoY, across various area. Bank has highlighted that

    they are Internally well geared to capture opportunities (integration challenges are well

    behind), however, external environment continues to be softer (private expenditure is

    still not happening).

    o Corporate segment grew > 20% growth (largely gaining market share). This is due

    to both deepening of presence in high quality corporate and new customer

    acquisition in mid-corporate segment. The bank continues to remain confident of

    clocking 20-25% growth.

    o Agri, home loan/LAP and unsecured portfolio (business loans/PL/CCs) witnessed

    sharp momentum this quarter. The management believes that consumption story

    will continue (pre-GST saw huge boost and that trend is continuing).

    o CV/CE saw a very good growth during the quarter up 43% YoY (all segment of CVs

    has seen growth expect for small CV portfolio). This has been one of the focus area

    for the bank over last 1-1.5 years and the investment done earlier is now reaping

    benefits (the bank has increased market share on month on month basis).

    o Quarter did see some slowdown in agri and business banking division ( view of the

    transition towards GST environment)

    The bank has raised capital in May, and stated that they will continue to evaluate

    opportunities on both organic and inorganic routes.

    New sales of tractor has been good over last 3months. There has been Issues in

    collection due to DeMon and farm loan waiver, but the condition is now improving and

    so are the sales. Having said that the bank is gaining market share.

    Opex during the quarter was higher due to a) the marketing and advertising expenses

    related to 811 scheme ( totalling to INR630mn, bulk of the initial spending happened in

    April and thus is non-recurring in nature) and b) acquisition of some PSLCs.

    Core fee income growth has been very string . the growth is more broad based in

    nature and linked to business activities and thus expects the momentum to continue.

    With respect of asset quality

    With respect to accounts referred to NCLT

    o Bank has total exposure of INR2.36bn toward 4 accounts ( out of the of 12

    accounts referred by RBI to NCLT).

    o Bank highlighted that all the 4 accounts were inherited from ING Vysya Bank

    (Kotak Mahindra bank had no exposure towards these on standalone balance

    sheet) at merger on April 1, 2015 ( and these accounts along with others were

    taken into consideration while deciding on valuations). Also the bank highlighted

    that the provisions well in excess of RBI mandate.

    o For the banking system, the management sees increasing credit cost for the system

    on account of reference of cases to IBC.

    RWA has not risen significantly from previous quarter. The average rating of the

    corporate portfolio will be around A/A+.

  • Kotak Mahindra Bank

    9 Edelweiss Securities Limited

    During the quarter bank has a credit cost of 57bps. The bank maintained the guidance

    that the credit cost will directionally move downward from FY17 levels ( essentially

    suggesting < 60bps of credit cost)

    SMA -2 accounts stood at INR3.05bn (versus 1.3bn in Q4FY17).

    With respect to digital banking updates:

    Traction in 811 is going strong: >9 mn customers. 55% of bank active customers are

    digitally active.

    Within the customers acquired through 811 : a) 82% is within 18-35 years ( far more

    digital savvy customers and can be leveraged) b) 47% are salaried and c) 63% are from

    top 20 cities

    Monthly transactions on mobile more than doubled to INR60bn.

    Digital contribution in overall sourcing one of the highest in the Industry

    o ~70% - Recurring Deposit sourced digitally

    o ~60% - Term Deposit sourced digitally

    o ~20% of the Salaried Personal Loan is through digital share

    o > 50% individual life insurance policies sourced through Genie

    o > 20% of general insurance business sourced through digital channels

    With respect to other business

    AMC business: Cost in the AMC is not amortised thus the faster growth in business

    leads to the strain in the business.

    Kotak Prime: Large part of asset is car finance, and FY17 saw some pressure on margins

    thus profitability was under pressure. Q1FY18, saw some improvement in NIMs and

    consequent improvement profitability. Bank suggests that this improvement in NIMs

    will sustain henceforth. Meanwhile the other than car loans grew sharply during the

    quarter due to capital markets related lending.

    Kotak Life : The bank keeps on evaluating various options at different point in time.

    Having said that at this stage there is No intent to open bancassurance (as a bank

    platform) to other partner.

    Other highlights

    Formal financial savings has seen a significant benefit- reflected in growth seen not

    only in liability, but also in AMC, life insurance and capital market business. Looking

    ahead overall financial services business has huge growth opportunity .

    The bank has agreed to acquire Old Mutual 26% Stake in Kotak Life and is awaiting

    regulatory approvals

    The bank has received regulatory approvals to acquire BSS Microfinance ( will conclude

    the deal by this quarter) . BSS has been growing , while asset quality saw some hiccup

    but this is improving.

    Launched consumer durable financing business through KMP , the aim is to slowly build

    the business and then grow.

  • Banking and Financial Services

    10 Edelweiss Securities Limited

    Company Description

    KMB is Indias leading full services financial conglomerate, dominating the securities and

    investment banking space. It is currently focused on growing its banking, asset

    management, and insurance businesses. It began operations in 1986 as a bill discounting

    and leasing NBFC under Kotak Mahindra Finance and converted itself into a bank in 2003.

    The group has a widespread presence across 1,362 branches. The group has a decent

    platform to cross-sell its products, given its presence in the financial spectrum. Kotak

    Securities has 1.9% market share in overall market volumes and is one of the prominent

    domestic investment bankers. It is developing its presence in the asset management and

    insurance businesses.

    Investment Theme

    Given limited levers on credit cost & opex, we anticipate revenue traction to be key for RoE

    improvement. Robust liability franchise (CASA + retail TD), rating upgrade (to AAA), CD ratio

    at lower level will help sustain high NIMs, however it will be critical to step on growth pedal

    to translate into respectable RoEs.. With recent equity infusion (INR58bn), leveraging of this

    capital in financing business and efficient allocation across other businesses will be critical

    for RoE improvement. Valuations at 3.8x FY19E P/ABV (banking business for RoE of 14% by

    FY19E) factor in fair bit of upside. Hence, we maintain HOLD/SP.

    Key Risks

    Continued stress in the economy and hence the CV/CE portfolio can moderate the growth

    prospects of the bank.

    Depressed capital markets can impact the profitability of investment banking and securities

    business.
