Yes Bank has experienced unprecedented growth in the Indian banking sector since itstarted operations in late 2004. This is a significant achievement for a bank which hadstarted late when compared to other new age private sector banks. The bankdifferentiated itself from other players in the industry through its unique 'knowledgebanking approach', emphasis on technology, and human resources. The knowledgebanking approach was its main pillar of differentiation and using this it providedspecialized services to various sunrise industries through domain experts.

We re-initiate coverage on Yes Bank with a BUY rating. Our rating underpins thebank’s strong business momentum, diversified revenue stream, strong assetsquality, positive asset liability mismatch, strong institutional holding, superior costefficiency, unique technology proposition, high pedigree of Human Capital, thrust onimproving CASA driven by aggressive branch expansion plans and its superior andsustainable return ratios. However, heavy dependence on bulk deposits in a risinginterest rate scenario slightly impedes our optimism.

We further expect the bank to deliver RoE of20%+ on the back of increased leverage, however we may see some pressure on RoAdue to moderation in earnings growth going forward on the back of rising loan lossprovisions and rising cost.

Key Risks - 1) Further rise in wholesale deposit cost. 2) Deferment of capital raisingplans due to depressed market condition. 3) Lower than expected improvement inCASA. 3) Higher than anticipated rise in slippages due to more focus on the SMEsegment. 4) TTM P/BV is still at 30% premium to the average valuation in last rate hike

Business Momentum to continue

YBL’s loan book has grown at a CAGR of 52.9% over the last 5 years, which is well above the averageindustry growth rate during the same time period. Higher than industry growth led to a consistentimprovement in market share for the bank. Market share stood at ~0.92% in FY11 as compared to 0.33% inFY07 G i h d h b k i i hi h h h f h i d d

Investment rationale

FY07. Going ahead we expect the bank to continue growing at a pace higher than that of the industry andhave factored in a CAGR of 28% for FY11-13. The growth will be well supported by aggressive branchexpansions, more penetration in the larger corporate segment & retail segment of the loan book. YESbank’s loan book growth aspiration (Version 2.0) is mainly driven by 1) increasing market share and 2)putting revenue growth ahead of increasing cost. However in the long run, this approach from YBL maychange due to the need of faster improvements in some key metrics where its lags its larger peers.

With initial focus inliability rich regions of North and West India (75% of branches), the bank now plans for a pan-Indiapresence. The new roll-outs are targeted at improving the SME and retail franchise. The bank plansto roll out 150 branches in South with in two years time. The metro centers are likely to have over30 branches each in the next few years. YES bank has separate team looking after the inclusive or

Branch Expansion strategy – well fit to the overall business model

social banking model (a combination of bricks & Mortar and technology-enabled branches) in Tier-3to Tier-6 segments of agri-rich Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, UP & MP. “Low cost –Rapid launch” branches are mapped out for Tier-3 to Tier-6 cities. The branch addition and thrust onretail deposits will help shore up CASA franchise.

YES bank uses “Hub and Spoke” model for faster maturity and greater efficiency of branches. Thisapproach has in-turn reduced IT and infrastructure spends. Also, with timely break-even in keybranches, cost-to-income for the bank has declined substantially from 53% in FY07 to 36% in FY11.

Knowledge banking – a key differentiator

YES bank's competence in terms of using high-end technology, its 'knowledge banking'approach, and emphasis on highly qualified human resources helped it to differentiate itself fromother private banks in an increasingly commoditized market. In particular, its knowledge bankinginitiative drew a lot of interest. In the initial phase, the bank planned to target those sectors wherethe bank has a deep understanding of the industry. The bank has a team of investment banking

f i l h h h d i i d i i l i i d M&A b i Thprofessionals that have hands-on expertise in advisory, capital raising and M&A businesses. There aresector specialists that understand a particular sector and know the business intricacies to structuresuperior solutions from a banking perspective.

CASA augmentation remains the key

YES bank’s deposit base grew 5.6x within 5 year’s time, registering a CAGR of 53.75% over FY07-FY11 mainly due to base effect. However, the bank has historically relied more on wholesaledeposits to ramp up loan growth. In addition, relatively lower branches (most of the branches beingnew) impacted the CASA mobilization of the bank. Yes Bank's proportion of low cost deposits(CASA) is amongst the lowest in the Industry. However, in absolute numbers CASA has grown at78% CAGR d i FY07 FY11 Y B k i l ki d i l f l d b h i

B2B2C Strategy

Identifying current account rich

corporate customers

78% CAGR during FY07‐FY11. Yes Bank is looking to derive value from planned branch expansionand increase penetration to improve its CASA ratio. Management wants to increase the CASA shareto 30% by FY15. However, we expect a gradual improvement in the YBL’s CASA ratio from current10.3% to 12.5% till FY 2013. FY13 onwards, CASA mobilization may gain higher momentum asalmost 60% of the branches likely to cross breakeven productivity by then. The CASA share maythrow some positive surprises if the overall balance sheet growth lags the CASA growth. We expectCASA deposits to grow at a CAGR of 48.6% over FY10‐FY13. Of the incremental accretion todeposits, we expect the CASA contribution at 15.8% between Mar’11 to Mar’13.

Favorable asset liability mismatch gives support to NIMs

Lower CASA has been well compensated by a positive asset liability mismatch in longer term assets.Only 10% of the assets have fixed rate, which means it can raise lending rates quickly when faced witha liquidity squeeze. Longer term assets are mostly financed by borrowings (~76%) mainly term loans.The bank has ample liquidity in the form of short term deposits to finance its shorter term assets (< 1yr). The average tenure of deposit base is about 21 months and loans about 18 months which means

Margin scenario – strong pricing power may support NIMs

YES bank is mostly a wholesale funded bank (refer page 10). Due to the recent hike in retail depositrates and with wholesale deposit rates at about 10.02% currently, the bank’s cost of funds has increased.The incremental cost of funds is 50-100bps higher currently, compared with the overall cost of funds inDecember 2010. However, we believe this cost increase is likely to be mitigated (to an extent) by a 200bps increase in the prime lending rate (PLR) and a 50 bps rise in the base rate (Yes Bank increased itsPLR by 50 bps in August 2010 September 2010 December 2010 and May 2010 The PLR is 18 5% andPLR by 50 bps in August 2010, September 2010, December 2010 and May 2010. The PLR is 18.5% andthe base rate at 9.5% currently). The impact of increasing SB rate by 50 bps will be limited to only 1 bpsincrease in cost of funds, however the increase in base rate and PLR will enable the bank to partiallyabsorb the increased cost on account of rising interest rates. However, further interest rate hike by RBIwill put pressure on its NIMs with a lag as more and more deposits will re-priced later.

Strong core operating income growth & diversified fee revenue

YBL’s total income grew strong at a CAGR of 58.8% over FY06-FY11. This is well supported by69.88% CAGR growth in Net Interest Income (NII) & 45.1% CAGR growth in Other Income over thesame period. The dependence on other income (OI/TI) has come down from over 50% in FY05 to33.3% in FY11. Fee income constitute almost 95% of the other income. Fee income is mainly drivenby transaction banking & financial advisory (investment banking and project advisory). We may see

h d i i fi i l k ( i l i ) i i dsome growth moderation in financial market (mainly treasury income) in coming quarters due tosubdued market and rising bond yields. With increasing branch expansion, increasing focus on retailassets and stabilization of new branches, we may see contribution of branch banking in fee income toincrease. Overall, we expect the core income for YES bank to outpace the other income during FY10-FY13. We are expecting Total income, NII & Other income to register a CAGR of 35.5%, 41.1% and27.1% respectively over FY10-FY13.

Cost efficiency one of the best in the industry

In comparison with its peer group, YES bank enjoys one of the leanest cost structure which is onaccount of better business productivity per employee, unique technology proposition. Over the pastfive years, bank has successfully reduced its cost ratio from 52.88% to 36.35% in FY11. Goingforward, we expect this ratio to stabilize at 38‐40% levels with its aggressive hiring and branchexpansion plans. Yes bank has also improved its cost/assets by 86 bps over FY08-11, mainly due to

Cost to Income ratio

p p p y p ybetter utilization of its infrastructure. These offset its low CASA and somewhat laggard NIM.Productivity ratios of the bank remain as one of the best, regardless of having large number ofbranch and employee additions every year. Most of the bank's branches are comparatively new andyet to pick up in terms of productivity. Management indicates that increase in productivity (newerbranches to matured branches) will limit the upside in cost in coming years.

Asset quality one of the strongest in the industry

Due to higher credit exposure to the corporate segment, YES bank enjoys one of the best assetquality in the industry. During FY05‐07, YBL hasn’t reported any slippages, however in FY08, itreported its first GNPAs of 0.1% and currently it stood at 0.21%. Restructured assets as a % of grossadvances improves from 0.36% in Q4’10 to 0.24% in Q4’11. Exposure to troublesome MFI sectorstood at INR 4500 Mn which is less than 1.5% of the total loan book. Also, YBL does not have any

h 2G l F h d ’ i f RBI’ l i dexposure to the new 2G players. Further, we don’t see any impact of RBI’s recently revised normsfor provisioning. However, higher provisioning for restructured assets may dent FY12 expected PBTby 0.08% to 0.11% (Microsec Internal calculation).

However with increasing focus on SME & retail segment we may see a spurt in slippages goingforward. Secondly, it will be hard for the bank to improve upon its GNPA % NNPA% further in thisincreasing rate scenario. Nevertheless it is noteworthy to mention, that even after factoring in anincrease in NPAs it still remains low as compared to its peer group.

Capital issuance critical for growth

YES bank has adopted a capital raising in every 1.5-2 years of operation from FY08. Currently YES bankis adequately capitalized with Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) stood at 16.7% at the end of March’11.Bank has raised capital of INR 3386 Mn by issuing shares to QIBs at INR 269.5 per share in Jan’10diluting 13% stake. Further management is expected to raise funds to the tune of USD500 Mn (INR22500 Mn) through an American Depository receipt by the end of FY12. However due to the subdued) g p y p ydomestic & overseas capital market, the bank may defer its plan till H1’FY13. This gives the bankenough issuance window to raise capital at a reasonable price. However, We have not factored in thecapital raising plan by the bank in our estimates for FY12 & FY13.

Valuation & Recommendation

We re-initiate coverage on Yes Bank with a BUY rating. Our rating underpins YBL’s strong businessmomentum, diversified revenue stream, strong assets quality, positive asset liability mismatch, stronginstitutional holding, superior cost efficiency, unique technology proposition, high pedigree of HumanCapital, thrust on improving CASA driven by aggressive branch expansion plans and its superior andsustainable return ratios. However, heavy dependence on bulk deposits in a rising interest rate scenarioslightly impedes our optimism.

Valuation & Recommendation

At the CMP of INR 282 the bank is trading at 1.82x FY13E BV. YBL delivered RoE of over 20% andRoA of 1.5% for FY11. We further expect the bank to deliver RoE of 20%+, however we may see somepressure on RoA due to moderation in earnings growth going forward on the back of rising loan lossprovisions and rising cost of funds.

We have valued Yes bank on scenario model with different weightage given to each scenario andarrived at a weighted average target price of INR358 which is 2.3x its FY13E BV of INR 155.4. Ourrecommended target price is 27% above the current price. We expect this target price to be met with in18 months from the date of release of this report.

Key concerns

o Disproportionate rise in wholesale deposit cost may depress NIMs more than expected. Every 10 bpsrise in cost of deposits is expected to depress RoE by almost 20-25 bps.

o Lower than anticipated CASA improvement may depress margin in high interest rate scenarioo Lower than anticipated CASA improvement may depress margin in high interest rate scenario.

o 55-60% of the YES bank’s loan book is still in PLR. With over 60% of YBL’s clients are formed bycorporates, the transition from BPLR to Base rate may be a key challenge for retaining clients.

o Increasing focus on SME segment (almost 10% of the current loan book) in the increasing rate scenariomay increase slippages. Every 100 bps rise in slippages is expected to depress RoE by almost 120 bps.

o Capital raising program can expose the bank to capital market cycle We can’t rule out possibility ofo Capital raising program can expose the bank to capital market cycle. We can t rule out possibility ofdeferment of capital raising program due to subdued or depressed market condition. In that case theBank’s growth plan will suffer.

o Higher foreign share holding at 50.4% (FII+FDI) (as on March’11) may put some pressure on stockprices in case of foreign money outflow from domestic market.

o Global macro economic instability with weakening economic datas from developed countries and debtcrisis in PIIGS also act as a risk.crisis in PIIGS also act as a risk.

o In the last rate hike cycle, YES bank has traded at an average valuation of 2x TTM BV. Currently itstrading at TTM P/BV of 2.72. If the current inflationary situation persists and RBI continues with its ratehike cycle, we may see negative pressure on the stock price. It can go substantially lowers than thecurrent level.
