Financial summary

Year NII (Rs. mn) PAT(Rs. mn) ROE (%) ROA (%) ABV P/ABV(x)

FY13 1,401 800 17.1% 2.4% 96 3.2

FY15E 2,493 1,579 19.2% 2.9% 134 2.3

We see REPCO Home Finance as a multi-year growth play on the theme of low-ticket size, more profitable self-

employed customer segment of housing finance in Southern & Western India. We believe the business has legs

to sustain >25% growth rate with an improving ROE profile (from ~17% to 21% by FY18E) translating into a

strong compounding story in 3-5 year horizon with potential to be a double bagger in a 3-year time frame. Holds

promise of further structural improvements in leverage, ROE and therefore multiples as company demonstrates

its performance overtime in line with peers and wins stake-holder confidence. Initiate coverage with BUY rating

and a TP of Rs. 375 valuing business at 2.7X FY15E ABV.

Key sector thoughts:

• Housing finance to self-employed segment and small ticket size loans remains under penetrated despite regulators

favouring lower ticket size loans by allowing lower risk weights, PSL status and refinancing options at low rates.

• Recently announced cap of 2% in Rural Housing Fund (RHF) refinance window of NHB makes lending sub-optimal

(Rs. 0.2mn to Rs.1.5mn) or not feasible for HFCs operating in the <Rs. 0.2mn segment and may be reversed.

• Under-ownership of houses is higher in Southern and Western India and has increased further in the last decade

Things that we like in REPCO

• In right geographies & preferred lower ticket size market: Presence of close to 90% by branches and 96% by loan

book in Southern and Western geographies. Ticket sizes of REPCO are almost 1/3rd lower than LICHF and close to

half of the ticket size of HDFC at Rs. 1mn.

• Volume driven growth: Loan book growth of 2.5X between FY10-13 has come with healthy 1.8X growth in customers

• Focus on Self- Employed Segment: minimal reliance on DSA channel: 50% of home loan book from self-

employed segment compared to 10-20% of other large players. Owns customers as it does not rely on DSA model.

• Margin buffers to cope with loss of RHF: Upgrade from rating agencies from A+ to AA-; potential liability

diversification to NCD/CP market; securitization (PSL benefit) and increase in proportion of LAP book to 18% by

FY16E from 14% in FY13 would help in absorbing some margin pressure without resorting to rate hike

• Similar ROAs as peers; leverage key difference: Has similar ROA profile as peers but inability to leverage without

impairing rating differentiates it from them. Winning stakeholder confidence and given that GOI ownership of parent

REPCO Bank should help in addressing this issue helping it in improving ROE’s structurally over time. Removal of cap

of 2% on RHF by NHB can add 1.5-2% to structural ROE’s .

….alleviating some pain from lower borrowing from RHF refinance window

Despite 50bps loss in pre-tax ROA due to loss of RHF refinance* owing to 2% cap , we see Sufficient levers like increase in LAP,

utilizing securitization window which can reduce the impact to 20bps without resorting to any hike in rates

Source: Spark Capital Research, *Assuming it is replaced by bank borrowing

Given that almost 100% of the customers are “owned customers” pricing power would be better which can help in absorbing the loss; In case NHB

revokes the 2% cap on RHF, the above changes in liability and loan book composition can push up pretax ROA’s by almost 30bps.

Risks & Other Issues

ESOP given below market price; Shared MD with REPCO

bank

REPCO has given ~0.93mn (~1.3% of capital base) ESOPs at a fixed

price of Rs. 78 per share to all the employees of REPCO. Although these

stocks were to be awarded in Aug-2012, SEBI required these to be

awarded only after 6 months of IPO.

These options would be given out to employees over the next three years

(~0.24mn given in Q2FY14) with a vesting period of one year. Rewarding

employees with ESOPs below market price is an uncommon practice.

While we are not votaries of such a practice we take comfort from the fact

that the scheme is extended to all the employees of REPCO and

secondly, fixed pay of the top management is the lowest with ED pay

~Rs. 2.2mn for FY13. We add potential dilution and impact on operating

costs in our assumptions. Further, ~100,000 options has been set aside

in lieu of a civil suit which the ex-MD of REPCO is facing in Honourable

High Court of Madras.

REPCO bank and REPCO home finance share a MD .

Other Risks

TN and Chennai Concentration in loan book

High concentration risk as 2/3rd s of the book comes from Tamil Nadu and

1/4th of the book is from Chennai. Any sharp correction in these markets

can mean growth can take a hit. We do not expect NPA to be concern,

however growth can take a back seat

Management tenure

The current management tenure is for the next three years. In the event

of the current management not taking an extension, management change

is a key risk for investors looking beyond 3 years horizon.
