To mitigate this loss of business from corporate loans, SIB has been concentrating

on the Retail / SME & Agri lending. The management is aiming for 60% contribution

of the total loan portfolio from this segment by FY16 as compared to 50% at end of

FY14. To cater to this new growth thrust, SIB has set up a separate profit center to

concentrate on housing, auto and retail loans which are the pivotal sub segments.

We expect overall advances to grow at a CAGR of 19.5% to `51,736 crore by

FY16E.

Robust deposit growth to continue; CASA to witness significant

traction

Over FY09-14, deposits have grown at a CAGR of 21.3% and we expect this brisk

pace of growth to be maintained over the forecast period. With SIB planning to add

50 new branches every year and taking initiatives like priority banking (80 centres)

and NRE banking (NRE/NRO) CASA deposits are expected to grow at a faster clip

of 31.4% which should help boost CASA ratio to 25% (from the current 20.7%) by

FY16. This in turn should help bring down cost of deposits. Overall we expect total

deposits to grow at a CAGR of 19.5% to `67,817 crore by FY16E.

Stable asset quality is an added comfort

In this adverse economic scenario, where most of the banks are suffering from asset

quality issues, SIB with 1.2% GNPA and 0.8% NNPA in FY14 is better placed than

most peers in terms of the asset quality. With a slew of measures being undertaken

to improve asset quality and the overall economic environment also expected to

improve, we do not expect any further aggravation in the asset quality

Valuation

We initiate coverage on South Indian Bank with a BUY recommendation and a Price Objective of `45 (target Adj P/BV multiple of 1.5x) implying a potential upside of ~37%. At the CMP of `33, the stock is trading at an Adj P/BV of 1.3x and 1.1x for

FY15E and FY16E, respectively.

Company Background

Incorporated in 1929, South Indian Bank (SIB) is a leading mid-sized bank in the private sector space. It operates a network of ~800 branches and ~1000 ATMs. With about half of its branches located in Kerala, SIB’s business is largely skewed towards the Southern state. The bank is looking to maintain a geographic spread (1:1 Kerala: outside Kerala) and expand its pan-India foot-print. The total business done has scaled to `83,721 in FY14 at a CAGR of 29.3% over a five year period, spearheaded by the strong brand recall it enjoys among the Keralite NRI diaspora. SIB is among the better capitalized banks in the industry with a total CAR of 12.5%. Gross NPAs were reported at 1.2% with provision coverage ratio of 62.7%.

Key Investment Highlights

Robust advances growth over FY14-16E with focus on retail

and SME & Agri lending

SIB has witnessed robust advances growth with a CAGR of 25.1% over the period FY09-14 spearheaded by corporate sector lending. However, with the economy coming to a standstill over the last couple of years, SIB slowed down lending to the corporate segment. To mitigate this loss of business from corporate loans, SIB has been concentrating on the Retail / SME & Agri lending. The management is aiming for 60% contribution of the total loan portfolio from this segment by FY16 as compared to 50% at end of FY14.

Robust deposit growth to continue; CASA to witness

Over FY09-14, deposits have grown at a CAGR of 21.3% with term deposits growing at a CAGR of 22.3% while demand deposits and savings deposits have clocked a growth of 17.4% and 18.1% respectively. SIB is taking initiatives like priority banking (80 centres) and NRE banking (NRE/NRO savings bank deposits constitute 20% of the total CASA of SIB) to improve the CASA ratio currently at 20.7%. This is expected to spearhead faster CASA growth (of 31.4%) over FY14-16E, while the CASA ratio to improve to 25%

(from the current 20.7%) by FY16. This should help bring down cost of deposits. SIB is expected to add 50 branches and more than 100 ATMs every year over the next couple of years. As can be seen in the chart, SIB has further scope of improvement in CASA as compared to similar sized banks.

Profitability to improve on the back of high NII growth, stable

NIMs and improvement in cost to income ratio

SIB has registered a robust profit growth of 20.2% CAGR over the period FY11-14

on the back of robust business growth seen over the same period (CAGR of 18.6%).

With business further expected to grow at CAGR of 19.5% over FY14-16E and NIMs

remaining stable at ~3.0% and cost-to-income ratio improving to ~45%, we expect a

robust PAT growth at 22.6% CAGR over FY14-16E. Return ratios ROE and ROA

are also expected to improve to 18.2% and 1.1%, respectively.

NII to clock a CAGR of 19.4% over FY14-16E

Robust advances growth and deposit growth has helped SIB register NII growth of

20.9% over FY11-14. With robust growth in advances expected to continue and

contribution from retail rising, we expect NII growth to sustain at a CAGR of 19.4% to

`1,989 crore over FY14-16E.

Stable NIMs and lower cost to income to boost profitability

Despite sluggish economic growth, SIB has managed to maintain NIMs at ~3.0%. Going forward, we expect the NIMs to remain stable above 3.0% with renewed focus on the growth of higher yielding retail business and thrust on mobilization of low cost CASA deposits. The cost-to-income ratio for SIB had deteriorated from 47.5% in FY13 to 50.0% in FY14 due to higher provision for wages according to IBA guidelines (most of which has already been accounted for). Also, out of 50 new branches to be added this year, 25 branches will be full-fledged branches and remaining will be extension

counters which have lower operating costs. According to RBI guidelines, 25% of the new branches have to be opened in the rural and un-banked areas, which will have lower operating costs. This is expected to improve the C/I ratio by 515 bps to 44.8% by FY16 With stable NIMs and lower cost-to-income ratio going forward, we expect profitability to improve to Rs 763 crore. As a result ROE is expected to improve from 15.9% in FY14 to 17.0% in FY16.

Other income to reduce earnings volatility

SIB’s other income has grown at a CAGR of 17.5% over FY09-14. Going forward, we expect the same to grow at a 20% CAGR over next two years driven by the income from the card business and insurance commission business. SIB acts as a corporate agent for the distribution of insurance products of both LIC and Bajaj Alliance for life insurance and general insurance respectively. Further SIB has a tie-up with 13 leading Mutual Funds, and has also enrolled as a

Channel Partner for the distribution of bonds issued by different companies. With an array of avenues to generate fee income, we expect it to grow at a CAGR of 20% to `531 crore by FY16E.

Stable asset quality is an added comfort

In this adverse economic scenario, where most of the banks are suffering from asset

quality issues, SIB with 1.2% GNPA and 0.8% NNPA in FY14 is better placed than

most peers in terms of asset quality. The provision coverage ratio improved from

53% in FY13 to 63% in FY14 and provides additional comfort. It is further expected

to improve to 67% in FY15.

GNPA of SIB has improved from 1.3% in FY13 to 1.2%, which under a worst case

scenario can increase to 1.3% in FY15. Net NPA has remained stable at 0.8% over

the past two years and can increase to 0.9% in FY15 in a worst case scenario. The

bank is taking prudent measures like reducing aggregator funding in the case of the

gold loans and approving gold loans for real end use (individual requirements and

small ticket size loans). Such measures will help it to keep the NPA in check in

future. The bank has also gone slow on infrastructure lending with infrastructure

constituting 14.3% of its total loan portfolio in FY14 as compared to 15.0% in FY13. SIB has recovered NPAs to the extent of `533 crore in FY14, (recovery including

upgradation of `301 crore), surpassing its target of `250 crore. The recovery during

FY14 also surpassed the recovery of `270 crore for FY13. The sustained thrust on

selection of credit, adequate due diligence and improvement in credit administration

ensured improvement in quality of assets.

SIB has also constituted a committee which meets once every quarter to review all

Comfortably placed to raise Tier-II capital for future growth With capital adequacy of 12.5% (Tier-I capital stood at 10.9%, while Tier-II capital stood at 1.6% in FY14), SIB is comfortably placed to support the future business needs during FY14-16E. The management has stated that it does not require any Tier-I capital funding during the current year. However, it plans to raise Tier-II capital of `200 crore in FY15 to fund future growth (The management has expressed

confidence that it can easily raise Tier-II capital upto `800 crore).

For the current year, the bank is focusing on the retail segment, where risk weights are low as compared to the corporate book and current capital will be sufficient to fund the growth. The management expects Tier-I capital to be around 9.5% to 10%, by the end of FY15.

Return Ratios

SIB has been successful in maintaining healthy return ratios over the years given its strong track record. With the buoyant economic growth expected, we expect ROE to improve to 18.1% in FY16 as compared to 15.9% in FY14.

Key Risks and Concerns

SIB has traditionally had major presence in southern India especially Kerala which houses almost 55% of its branches. However, going forward, as a strategy, SIB has set a target of having 50% branches outside Kerala. In FY15, SIB plans to open branches in Maharashtra, Gujarat and North-East India.

SIB has high exposure to gold loans which it is trying to bring down especially when it comes to gold aggregator lending. The exposure to total gold loans has come down to 14.3% in FY14 from 20.2% in FY13.

Financial Performance

In Q4FY14, SIB’s advances grew at 13.9% YoY (8.7%QoQ) to `36,230 crore amidst

contraction in retail advances (10.5% YoY, 0.3%QoQ). However, SME & Agri (38.6%YoY, 12.7%QoQ) and Corporate (16.2%YoY, 10.9%QoQ) supported loan growth. Consequently, the share of retail advances declined (600 bps YoY, 200 bps QoQ) to 22%, while the share of SME & Agri improved (500 bps YoY, 100 bps QoQ) to 28%. Decline in retail advances was led by de-growth in gold loans (29.4%YoY) and Vehicle loans (3%YoY), while housing loans continued to strengthen (24.2%YoY). Over the same period, deposits growth remained lacklustre at 7.3%YoY, (6.4%QoQ) at `47,490 crore amidst slower growth in CASA deposits (3.8% QoQ) at `9,830 crore. Consequently, the share of CASA deposits declined 50 bps QoQ at 20.7%, while the share of NRI deposits stood at ~25%.

NIM remained stable at 3.0% in the Q4FY14 owing to improvement in yield on advances (1 bps QoQ) and stable cost of funds. The management expects NIMs to remain stable at ~3% levels in FY15.

Asset Quality improved as absolute GNPA’s decreased (7.7% YoY, 29.4% QoQ) to `434 crore (1.2% of advances), whilst NNPA’s declined by 27.5% QoQ to `290 crore (0.8% of advances).

Cost to Income increased 199 bps QoQ to 49.9% led by higher wage cost. Hence, net profit declined (19% YoY, 11.8% QoQ) to `124 crore.

Financial Outlook

We expect NII to grow at a CAGR of ~21% over FY14-16E to `1,989 crore with NIM

improving to 3.1% (v/s 3.0% in FY14). PAT is expected to grow at ~22% CAGR over FY14-16E to `759 crore. On the balance sheet front, advances are expected to grow

at a CAGR of ~19% to `51,736 crore by FY16E, while deposits are likely to grow at a CAGR of ~19% to `67,817 crore over the same period.
