LICHF saw largely stable asset quality during Q3FY21 with stage 3 assets declining 11 bps QoQ to 2.68%. On a proforma basis, there was slight deterioration though, as proforma GNPA (calc) increased from ~3% to ~3.7%, as the management had indicated that ~1% of loans would have been recognised as NPA if not for standstill norms. NPA in individual category fell from 1.7% to 1.62% QoQ while in project loans it was down 30 bps QoQ to 16.22%. Collection efficiency improved from 96% to 98% QoQ. Thus, asset quality remains steady but provision buffer at ~1.3% of...

LICHF's PAT was up 22% YoY (in line) to INR7.3b. While PPOP of INR11.6b was largely in line with our estimate, low credit costs of INR1.9b (v/s our estimate of INR2.8b) led to the PAT beat. Similar to peers, LICHF delivered strong loan growth in home loans, while it saw LAP and Builder disbursements similar to prior quarters. Collection efficiency improved to 98% in Dec'20....

Nirmal Bang Institutional
High provisions comforting, remain cautious; prefer HDFC Ltd. LIC Housing Finance (LICHF) reported operating numbers in line with expectations. Provisions were lower than expected. NII growth (up 2.2% YoY and 3.5% QoQ) was driven by advances growth (up 5.7% YoY and 4.6% QoQ). MoM disbursals have been improving and we expect the momentum to sustain. Overall disbursements (up 28% YoY) were strong, driven by the individual segment (up 31% YoY). Individual loans grew by 5.4% YoY and 4.6% QoQ. Project loan disbursements continued to remain muted. Non-interest income grew strongly (up 85.6% YoY and 6.7% QoQ). Opex growth (up 22% YoY and 4.4% QoQ) was led by growth in non-employee expenses (up 42.5% YoY and 11.8% QoQ)....

Demand revival in real estate projects (post reduction in stamp duty by Maharashtra Government) and continuous initiatives to boost affordable housing are likely to be the key triggers for home buying. HFCs are likely to be the biggest beneficiaries and LIC Housing Finance will lead the non-banking home financers. Moreover, the company's 2QFY21 performance and management commentary acknowledge our conviction that the company is preparing for cautious and prudent growth keeping the asset quality intact. LICHF witnessed a demand revival with disbursement growing ~250% QoQ (2.2% YoY) with wholesale disbursement of 242% QoQ (80% YoY). Furthermore, the overall collection efficacy has improved to ~96% as on 2QFY21. The bank declared that ~3% of...

to 1.7% remains elevated despite 87% salaried class focus (c) developer loan NPA at 17% although 2/3 big ticket cases stand in final stages of resolution. While NIMs stood steady this quarter, the same do not stand sustainable for FY21 as balance transfer cases to rise in light of high competitive intensities. We believe FY23 should witness revival (loan growth 15%+, NIMs 2%+ and NPAs 2.5%; current estimate 3.5%). As macro tailwinds signal beginning of bottoming out of painful home finance cycle, we upgrade LICHF to HOLD and tweak valuation multiple to 0.9x PABV Sep'22 estimates arriving at price...

Nirmal Bang Institutional
LIC Housing Finance (LICHF) reported PAT that was much ahead of our estimate primarily on account of lower provisioning during the quarter. NII growth was weak (down 1.1% YoY, up 1.4% QoQ) on account of softness in NIM (down 16bps YoY, up 2bps QoQ) and advances growth (up 4.8% YoY, flat QoQ). Disbursements during the quarter witnessed a sharp improvement sequentially, increasing by 2.5x QoQ and up 2.2% YoY. Individual home loan disbursements were up 2.3% YoY and 242% QoQ. Disbursements in the developer portfolio stood at Rs8.03bn, up 80.4% YoY and were mainly to existing customers under lines linked to construction progress. Disbursements in Oct'20 were about 38% higher YoY, pointing towards a strong and sustained...

HDFC Securities
LICHF faces several challenges in the near term: (1) a sticky moratorium book (particularly in the developer book), (2) inadequate coverage with minuscule Stage I & II provisions and negligible COVID-19 related provisions, and (3) stiff competition from banks, which would constrain growth and NIMs. LICHFs 1QFY21 operating performance was only slightly higher than estimates, but earnings were considerably higher than estimates, on account of lower-than-expected provisions (LLPs and tax). AUM growth was the slowest since FY09, and the moratorium portfolio remained sticky at 25% of loans (77% in the developer book). While we have increased our earnings, we maintain our REDUCE rating with a target price of Rs 296 (0.9xFY22E), especially after the recent run-up.

LIC Housing Finance Limited (LICHFL) reported steady results with operating performance coming largely in line with expectations (lower provisions resulted in better-than-expected profits) but asset-quality performance was not bright. Moratorium book holding fast at 25% of total book (was 25% at Q4FY2021) was a dampener since most peers have reported a reduction in the same. Of the 25% loan book under moratorium, individual home loans accounted for 16% and rest were developer segment, which is a concern. Nearly 77% of developer loan book was under moratorium. However, developer loans were at ~7% of the total book; hence,...

Nirmal Bang Institutional
LIC Housing Finance (LICHF) reported 34% YoY growth in net profit, led by 78% YoY decline in provisioning and a lower effective tax rate. Operating profit was down 1.8% YoY and up 25.8% QoQ. NII growth was subdued at 3.3% YoY on account of muted credit growth even as NIM expanded by 22bps QoQ. Total loan book grew by 6.1% YoY and 0.9% QoQ. Individual loans were down marginally QoQ while the developer book reported a net addition of Rs3.2bn QoQ. Disbursements stood at Rs35.6bn with >85% going towards individual home loans. Disbursements in the individual non-home loans and developer loans segments were low. June 2020 disbursements saw a significant pick-up post partial opening up of the economy and...

Motilal Oswal
25 August 2020 LICHF reported 34% YoY growth in 1QFY21 PAT to INR8.2b (60% beat). The beat was driven by better-than-expected NII as well as lower credit costs. This is a key monitorable for us. This was largely driven by smaller cities (share of disbursements in the Top 7 cities declined from an average of 45% to 35%). The loan book was largely stable at INR2.1t. Note that the loan mix has been largely stable for the past six quarters. Incremental cost of funds was down ~100bp to 6.8%, in line with the rates in the economy. Overall cost of funds declined 20bp QoQ to 7.9%. Operating expenses were up 28% YoY to INR1.37b, largely driven by a 30% YoY increase in employee expenses to INR796m. However, the company did not make any large COVID-19-related provisions this quarter.

Nirmal Bang Institutional
Weak 4Q, anticipating weaker FY21; downgrade to accumulate LIC Housing Finance (LICHF) reported a weak quarter with NII and PPOP coming in 9% and 26% lower than our estimate, respectively. The loan book growth too was weak, at 6.9% YoY and 1.1% QoQ, resulting in a net addition of Rs2.3bn only. Overall disbursements were down 14% QoQ. The impact on business generation was mainly on account of the lockdown. In the project lending segment, the company has curtailed disbursements quite significantly, owing to asset quality pressures. For the quarter, project loans disbursed amounted to Rs4.13bn, down 56% QoQ. In the individual home loans segment, disbursements were down 28% YoY and 17% QoQ. Individual...

HDFC Securities
We maintain our REDUCE rating with a TP of Rs 263 LICHFs 4Q performance disappointed across all fronts- (1) AUM growth slowed to a ~12 year low, (2) NIMs dipped sharply, to the lowest level in the ~7 years and asset quality deteriorated, with GS-III rising for the 6th straight quarter. Despite seemingly attractive valuations and strong parentage, we maintain our REDUCE rating with a TP of Rs 263 (0.9xFY22E). The co. faces several headwinds- (1) stiff competition from banks will pose increasing challenges on the growth and NIM fronts, (2) COVID-19 will exacerbate ongoing asset quality troubles (especially in the non-core book).

operating costs (85%QoQ/58%YoY). While it's COVID assessment on asset quality is uncertain, yet 75% developer loans & 35% LAP fall under morat and weak collections stands worrisome. Moreover, LICHF existing asset quality stands appalling led by 17% developer NPA, 1.8% individual book NPAs and ~2% credit costs. FY20 witnessed subdued loan traction (2%CAGR) and doubling of absolute NPAs. Against this backdrop, we expect weak loan growth cycle (6-9%), imminent NIM pressures (1.4-1.7%) and elevated NPAs (3-3.5%) for FY21-22E. Our EPS estimates do not change materially as we...

Motilal Oswal
22 June 2020 LICHFs 4QFY20 PAT was down ~40% YoY to INR4.2b. Reported PAT missed our estimates by 20%, driven by lower NII, higher operating expenses and taxation expenses, partially offset by lower credit costs. In FY20, while PPoP grew 7% YoY to INR43b, PAT was largely stable at INR24b. RoA/RoE for FY20 stood at 1.2%/14%. We have cut our EPS estimates for FY21/FY22 by 10/14% to account for the slower asset growth, pressure on margins and higher credit cost. While we expect ROAs to be muted at 1-1.1%, higher leverage (~11x highest amongst NBFCs) should lead to ROEs of 11-12% over FY20-23E. The loan book grew 2% QoQ/ 8% YoY to INR2.1t. The share of builder loans has been stable QoQ and YoY at ~7%. While this was partly mitigated by lower cost of funds, spreads declined 25bp QoQ to 1.
