Conference Call Highlights VYSB merger: a) Shareholders at VYSB and KMB have approved the merger b) working
towards getting approval from CCI and RBI c) expects to complete the merger procedure by March 2015 d) integration plan is going on
KMB is most excited about ING/VYSB’s expertise on digitization, in small and mid-sized business, cross sell opportunities to customers of VYSB
Branch expansion is likely to be gradual post merger On retail business On saving accounts, KMB has not paid anything above 6% interest rate;
Weighted average cost on savings deposits is 5.47% KMB continues to build capacity and has added 4k employees on a
consolidated level (to 30k) and of which 2.5k are recruited in bank (to 18k) Deep mining on existing customers, acquisition of new customers and use of
analytics is helping to grow deposits healthily. Retail term deposits (up to INR10m) up 33% YoY.
On lending business Consolidated loan growth is likely to be 20%+, of which, small and medium
business loans and SENP segments are going to grow faster than overall growth Although early days, seeing some growth coming back in heavy CV segment In wholesale business, growth is driven by working capital financing, trade and
Forex business

Kotak Mahindra Bank
KMPL (car + real estate financing business) margins are slightly under pressure and even loan mix is shifting towards relatively lower yielding vehicle financing – impacting overall profitability.
KMIL is likely to focus on structured capital market and commercial real estate related business. Strong team has been set up over last 12-18months
Mortgages are largely towards existing customers. LAP is driven by SENP segment largely to take care of working capital requirement
Other businesses Guidance of strong recoveries from distress asset business remains. Recoveries
in wholesale business are back ended whereas; in retail loans recoveries are behaving well.
Asset management business: Upfront fees paid for distribution of MF is impacting profitability
Life insurance business: More business coming from non-participating traditional Policy leading to some strain in P&L. Management is focusing on more medium term profitability and building embedded value.
Other details On a YoY basis, strong growth in fees is driven by distribution income (via
wealth mgmt), branch banking fees (incl service charges) and client related forex income. There is no large lumpy investment banking fees included. Management has seen some growth in DCM business.
Asset quality remains healthy and expects no further deterioration. Seeing some pressure in tractor financing business however, remains manageable
Well complied with current LCR requirement. KMB standalone NIM at 4.5%+ is sustainable Valuation and view Merger with VYSB places KMB in a sweet spot with strong presence across
geographies, products and healthy capitalization (CET 1 of 16.5%). The merged entity will be the fourth largest private sector bank with a loan book of INR1.2t and market share of 1.8% of loans. Further, KMB’s conglomerate structure places it in a very sweet position to ride the up-cycle across financial services.
Improvement in macro-economic environment coupled with strong Tier I of ~17% places KMB in a strong position to lever of growth opportunities in the economy. To leverage on its geographical expansion, the management is focusing on product penetration, with higher emphasis on Agriculture (will help in priority sector loans), small business loans (untapped opportunity; creating niche for itself) and mortgage loan. CV loans are bottoming out and likely to show traction in ensuing quarters. We factor loan CAGR (incl VYSB) of 24% over FY14/17, with core PPP CAGR of ~18% CAGR.
Asset quality for KMB remains one of the best with net stress loans at 122bp. With (1) management expectation of worst in CV/CE segment behind, (2) other retail products showing better than factored in loss given default (LGD) and (3) lower share of term/project loans in the corporate segment, we expect KMB to continue best-in-class asset quality performance in ensuing quarters.
Excess capitalisation is leading to (tier-I ratio of
17%) relatively lower RoE of ~15% over FY16/17
20 January 2015 7
Kotak Mahindra Bank
While we maintain earnings estimates for banking business, cut in estimates for non lending businesses is leading to marginal 1-3% cut in earnings for FY15-17. Non- lending businesses earnings in the near term are likely to be muted (~10% share in overall earnings including VYSB) however, they enjoy strong operating leverage. Capital light nature of these businesses can provide upside to ROE if there is a strong improvement in business cycle.
We roll forward our estimates to FY17E. Our SOTP is INR1,325 (based on pro-forma merger with VYSB) – 3.1x/22.1x FY17E cons. BV/EPS. Backed by higher capitalization, diversified business loan book, strong risk management and presence across financial services KMB historically traded at a premium multiples (2.8x/19.3x Cons. BV/EPS) to peers despite relatively lower ROE. While we are positive on the business, valuations at 3.3x/23x Cons BV/EPS (pro-forma merged basis) limit the upside. Maintain Neutral.
