06 May 2020 Results Review 4QFY20 SBI Life Insurance HSIE Research is also available on Bloomberg ERH HDF <GO> & Thomson Reuters Challenging Year Ahead SBILIFE’s 4QFY20 performance was marginally below expectations, as NBP/APE declined 11.8/12.6% YoY due to the lockdown, while VNBM sustained at 20.7% (+90bps YoY). Despite SBILIFE’s ambition to post APE growth in FY21E, given the macros, we remain skeptical. We rate SBILIFE a BUY with a reduced TP of Rs 975 (Mar-21E EV + 28.9x Mar-22E VNB). 4QFY20 protection APE was at Rs 3.2bn (+28.0/39.1% YoY/QoQ, 11.8% share). Retail/group protection grew 6.2/66.7% YoY. For FY20, total protection share improved 212bps YoY to 8.9%. 4QFY20 NPAR sales continued at a strong pace growing 17x/-5.3% YoY/QoQ to Rs 1.8bn. For FY20, the higher margin NPAR product share grew to 6.6% (+647bps YoY). As a result of lower interest rates, incremental contribution from NPAR is expected to reduce considerably in FY21E. FY20 VNBM improved 90bps YoY to 20.7%. Margin improved as a result of 1) better product mix (+480bps), 2) change in operating assumptions (CRNHR mainly, -130bps), and 3) change in eco. assumptions (-250bps). Covid-19 impact: Growth in Mar/Apr-20 has been severely impacted. Business is expected to decline over 1QFY21, however SBILIFE still believes that a single digit APE growth is possible in FY21E. The company is using digital sales methods- video calling, tele-medicals etc and is focusing on training agents. SBILIFE is also in the process of reworking its arrangement with re-insurers to increase tele-medical limits (IPRU has already done this). The company is also seeing only ~65% renewal rates. With lowest cost ratios, SBILIFE will continue to invest in its business. Any cost reduction initiative will only be undertaken in 2HFY21. Over FY21E we expect covid-19 and changes in personal taxation to cause significant disruption to insurance sales (FY21E APE: -13.1% YoY). We however take a longer term view on the business and appreciate the strong distribution footprint of its parent SBI (24k+ branches), improving protection share (FY20: 8.9%, +212bps YoY), lowest operating cost ratios (9.9%), and improving margins (VNBM: 20.7%). We expect SBILIFE to deliver strong FY20-22E VNB CAGR of 23.3% and RoEVs of ~13.4/15.1%. We rate SBILIFE a BUY with a TP of Rs 975 (Mar-21E EV + 28.9x Mar-22E VNB). Lower growth, renewals, and protection share are key risks to our call.

Challenging Year Ahead SBILIFE’s 4QFY20 performance was marginally below expectations, as
NBP/APE declined 11.8/12.6% YoY due to the lockdown, while VNBM
sustained at 20.7% (+90bps YoY). Despite SBILIFE’s ambition to post APE
growth in FY21E, given the macros, we remain skeptical. We rate SBILIFE a
BUY with a reduced TP of Rs 975 (Mar-21E EV + 28.9x Mar-22E VNB).
4QFY20 protection APE was at Rs 3.2bn (+28.0/39.1% YoY/QoQ, 11.8%
share). Retail/group protection grew 6.2/66.7% YoY. For FY20, total
protection share improved 212bps YoY to 8.9%.
4QFY20 NPAR sales continued at a strong pace growing 17x/-5.3%
YoY/QoQ to Rs 1.8bn. For FY20, the higher margin NPAR product share
grew to 6.6% (+647bps YoY). As a result of lower interest rates, incremental
contribution from NPAR is expected to reduce considerably in FY21E.
FY20 VNBM improved 90bps YoY to 20.7%. Margin improved as a result of
1) better product mix (+480bps), 2) change in operating assumptions
(CRNHR mainly, -130bps), and 3) change in eco. assumptions (-250bps).
Covid-19 impact: Growth in Mar/Apr-20 has been severely impacted.
Business is expected to decline over 1QFY21, however SBILIFE still believes
that a single digit APE growth is possible in FY21E. The company is using
digital sales methods- video calling, tele-medicals etc and is focusing on
training agents. SBILIFE is also in the process of reworking its arrangement
with re-insurers to increase tele-medical limits (IPRU has already done this).
The company is also seeing only ~65% renewal rates. With lowest cost ratios,
SBILIFE will continue to invest in its business. Any cost reduction initiative
will only be undertaken in 2HFY21.
Over FY21E we expect covid-19 and changes in personal taxation to cause
significant disruption to insurance sales (FY21E APE: -13.1% YoY). We
however take a longer term view on the business and appreciate the
strong distribution footprint of its parent SBI (24k+ branches), improving
