Strategy to counter PSU bank competition and product-wise yields.

Asked by C.A. Gaurav Kalani, Philip Capital

Management provided specific yields and explained strategy without evasion.

Read the exchange
Question
This competition from PSU banks is something which is cyclical... How are we building a strategy so that we can circumvent this... Second is that the home loans have reduced to roughly around 55% of the portfolio... what is the pure home loan and what is the top-up in that 55%? If we can spell out the yields on each of the categories: home loan, LAP, LRD, and developer finance.
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
We take in prime home loan now the competition is going to the PSU rather than the novelty... we are now taking it as a feature rather than an aberration... our disbursement growth in home loan also had been far higher than the industry disbursement growth... The yield product-wise at a portfolio IRR at HL had been at 8.6%, LAP at 10.3%, LRD at close to 8.1%-8.2%, developer finance close to 11.5%.

Will margin guidance be beaten given first half performance?

Asked by Veeral Shah, IIFL Capital

CFO confirmed guidance unchanged and explained factors.

Read the exchange
Question
Now, for the two first half of this year or the two quarters, we have kind of delivered a flattish kind of a margin. We are guiding for a 15-20 basis points kind of a decline for the full year perspective. Are we expecting such a sharp decline in the second half, or this is just more of a just continuation of the guidance, and we are likely to basically beat these numbers?
C.A. Gaurav Kalani (CFO)
On a full year basis, Veeral, we are expecting to be in this guidance range only because of the compression we are seeing driven by attrition pressure across the portfolio... followed with another rate cut expectation in December is what we are factoring in... our estimate remains, Veeral, in this range.

Is affordable housing slowdown due to asset quality issues?

Asked by Veeral Shah, IIFL Capital

CEO directly denied asset quality concerns and explained deliberate slowdown.

Read the exchange
Question
With respect to the slowing down, we are saying that we are taking it slow. Is this because we are taking it slow as a deliberate decision to understand the customer in that segment, or are we seeing any demand or specific asset quality related issues?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
No, this is not leading from any view on the asset quality or any stress what we are seeing or the demand compression. It was just we started this business 15-18 months as practice or the prudent risk management will do. We want to take it slow.

Why did assignment income fall? Is it one-off?

Asked by Veeral Shah, IIFL Capital

CEO explained both reasons and gave outlook for future.

Read the exchange
Question
With respect to the fall in the direct income, the assignment income, was this by design or by default? I mean, I was wanting to understand, is this like a one-off, or will we see this as kind of a stabilized number in the going ahead quarters?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
We took a conscious decision in the current year to not do assignment for treasury strategy because as a treasury has a means of fund... The second part of second reason for assignment for us is always that if we are falling short of a PBC... That we will be open even in the second half of the year.

What are BT-in and BT-out rates in home loans?

Asked by Viral Shah, HSBC

CEO provided specific BT-in and BT-out rates.

Read the exchange
Question
What would be your BT in or out rate in the overall home loan segment? Second, on the affordable housing side, what would be your BT in, and also your ALM size?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
At an overall home loan acquisition for the company, our BT in is 15% approximately of our overall HL acquisition... BT out is a factor of attrition... At a home loan level, it is a 21-22% kind of an annualized attrition, what we have seen, 20-21%.
Answered Medium priority

How does current attrition compare to last year?

Asked by Viral Shah, HSBC

Read the exchange
Question
This 21-22%, how would this compare, say, last year or two years back? Just wanted to understand the pace for the increase in.

Last year, it would have been in the range of 15-16%.

Is fee income growth from cross-selling sustainable?

Asked by Siraj Khan, S&N Capital

CEO explained the source and growth trajectory.

Read the exchange
Question
The fee income has gone up. Are we seeing more cross-selling and will that be a slight driver for the NIM plus fee? Not the NIM, but the NIM plus fee will drive higher. With the fee and commission income being ramped up? Is that a conscious strategy or will it be stable?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
Broadly, this is insurance income which is driving that number apart from other charges... It grows in line with the growth in business. Apart from the non-prime business, which will have higher penetration, but otherwise, overall, it will remain in line with the growth of business.

Yield differential between prime and non-prime books?

Asked by Siraj Khan, S&N Capital

CEO provided specific yield differential.

Read the exchange
Question
Again, from the SBU, what will be the yield difference over that book from our normal book? ... how do you see that difference in yield over both the books compressing, and will that materially improve the NIMs and the yield of the book?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
On an aggregate level, the yield in, if I collapse the entire non-prime business, including affordable, yield will be a differential of close to 1.25-1.5%. From the pure prime business.

Why do assignments when gearing is below target?

Asked by Satinder Bedi, Eon Investments

CEO explained the rationale clearly.

Read the exchange
Question
Given that our gearing currently is below our target gearing of 7-8, I was wondering if assignment makes great sense. Assignment does help us increase our ROA, but then it does not help on the ROE side. What is the metric we are targeting? Is it ROA over ROE, or is it ROE?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
We do assignment because of two factors, not ROA or ROE driven, but one from a treasury strategy from an ALM match perspective... Having said that, last year, since we went long on the bond side and our ALM match was corrected, we called out that in the current year, we are not falling assignment out from a treasury strategy because our leverage is low.
Answered Medium priority

When will gearing reach 7.5x target?

Asked by Satinder Bedi, Eon Investments

CEO gave a specific timeframe.

Read the exchange
Question
When do we hope to hit the seven and a half kind of a gearing, okay, based on the outlook that you have?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
I think two years is the time frame where we should be. It will depend upon the growth numbers, of course, but when we give a medium-term growth guidance, I think two years to two and a half years is the time frame where we should look at achieving that.

Competition in LRD and developer loans?

Asked by Bobby Jayaraman, Falcon Investment Advisors

CEO described competition in both segments.

Read the exchange
Question
You mentioned there was a lot of competition in the home loan segment. How is it in lease rental discounting and developer loans?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
Lease rental discounting, the level of competition would be higher than the home loan as well because these are all, one, the customers are quite evolved... For developer finance, competition is more from some housing finance companies, NBFCs, and in recent parts, what we have seen largely from even some private credit funds through the AIF structure.
Answered Medium priority

Is there an internal cap on LRD as % of AUM?

Asked by Siraj Khan, S&N Capital

CEO explained regulatory cap and no internal cap.

Read the exchange
Question
On the business, the LRD business, I mean, it's already at more than 15% of the business, 20%. Where do you see this settling? I mean, do we have a mind where we cap it out or anything with respect to that?
Atul Jain (Managing Director and CEO)
No, Siraj, because we have a capping of a 60% residential business, 40% non-residential. This is our opportunity available and the returns available... There is no cap what we have other than the regulatory cap, which is on a non-home loan business.
