SBI & ICICI Financial Performance

SWOT ANALYSIS- INDIAN BANKING SECTOR

The rise of retail lending in emerging economies like India has been of recent origin. AsiaPacifics vast population, combined with high savings rates, explosive economic growth, andunderdeveloped retail banking services, provide the most significant growth opportunities for

banks. Banks will have to serve the retail banking segment effectively in order to utilize thegrowth opportunity.

Banking strategies are presently undergoing various transformations, as the overall scenariohas changed over the last couple of years. Till the recent past, most of the banks had adoptedfierce cost-cutting measures to sustain their competitiveness. This strategy however has

become obsolete in the new light of immense growth opportunities for banking industry.Most bankers are now confident about their high performance in terms of organic growth andin realising high returns. Nowadays, the growth strategies of banks revolve around customersatisfaction.

Improved customer relationship management can only lead to fulfilment of long-term, as wellas, short-term objectives of the bankers. This requires, efficient and accurate customerdatabase management and development of well-trained sales force to develop and sustainlong-term profitable customer relationship.

The banking system in India is significantly different from that of the other Asian nations,because of the countrys unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. Though the

sector opened up quite late in India compared to other developed nations, like the US and theUK, the profitability of Indian banking sector is at par with that of the developed countriesand at times even better on some parameters. For instance, return on equity and assets of theIndian banks are on par with Asian banks, and higher when compared to that of the US andthe UK.

Banks in India are mainly classified into Scheduled Banks and Non-Scheduled Banks.Scheduled Banks are the ones, which are included in the second schedule of the RBI Act

1934 and they comply with the minimum statutory requirements. Non-Scheduled Banks are joint stock banks, which are not included in the second Schedule of the RBI Act 134, on

account of the failure to comply with the minimum requirements for being scheduled.

STRENGTHS

1. Indian banks have compared favourably on growth, asset quality and profitability withother regional banks over the last few years. The banking index has grown at a compounded

annual rate of over 51 per cent since April 2001 as compared to a 27 per cent growth in themarket index for the same period.


4/26

2. Policy makers have made some notable changes in policy and regulation to help strengthenthe sector. These changes include strengthening prudential norms, enhancing the payments

system and integrating regulations between commercial and co-operative banks.

3. Bank lending has been a significant driver of GDP growth and employment.

4. Extensive reach: the vast networking & growing number of branches & ATMs. Indianbanking system has reached even to the remote corners of the country.

5. The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has paid rich dividends withthe nationalisation of 14 major private banks of India.

6. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to haveclean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economiesin its region.

7. India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (i.e. with theGovernment of India holding a stake)after merger of New Bank of India in Punjab National

Bank in 1993, 29 private banks (these do not have government stake; they may be publiclylisted and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network

of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a ratingagency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry,

with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

8. Foreign banks will have the opportunity to own up to 74 per cent of Indian private sectorbanks and 20 per cent of government owned banks.

WEAKNESSES

1. PSBs need to fundamentally strengthen institutional skill levels especially in sales andmarketing, service operations, risk management and the overall organisational performance

ethic & strengthen human capital.

2. Old private sector banks also have the need to fundamentally strengthen skill levels. The

cost of intermediation remains high and bank penetration is limited to only a few customer

segments and geographies.

3. Structural weaknesses such as a fragmented industry structure, restrictions on capital

availability and deployment, lack of institutional support infrastructure, restrictive labour

laws, weak corporate governance and ineffective regulations beyond Scheduled Commercial

Banks (SCBs), unless industry utilities and service bureaus.

4. Refusal to dilute stake in PSU banks: The government has refused to dilute its stake in

PSU banks below 51% thus choking the headroom available to these banks for raining equity

capital.


5/26

5 | P a g e

5. Impediments in sectoral reforms: Opposition from Left and resultant cautious approach

from the North Block in terms of approving merger of PSU banks may hamper their growth

prospects in the medium term.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. The market is seeing discontinuous growth driven by new products and services that

include opportunities in credit cards, consumer finance and wealth management on the retail

side, and in fee-based income and investment banking on the wholesale banking side. These

require new skills in sales & marketing, credit and operations.

2. Banks will no longer enjoy windfall treasury gains that the decade-long secular decline in

interest rates provided. This will expose the weaker banks.

3. With increased interest in India, competition from foreign banks will only intensify.

4. Given the demographic shifts resulting from changes in age profile and household income,

consumers will increasingly demand enhanced institutional capabilities and service levels

from banks.

5. New private banks could reach the next level of their growth in the Indian banking sector

by continuing to innovate and develop differentiated business models to profitably serve

segments like the rural/low income and affluent/HNI segments; actively adopting acquisitions

as a means to grow and reaching the next level of performance in their service platforms.

Attracting, developing and retaining more leadership capacity

6. Foreign banks committed to making a play in India will need to adopt alternative

approaches to win the race for the customer and build a value-creating customer franchise

in advance of regulations potentially opening up post 2009. At the same time, they should

stay in the game for potential acquisition opportunities as and when they appear in the near

term. Maintaining a fundamentally long-term value-creation mindset.

7. Reach in rural India for the private sector and foreign banks.

8. With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time,

especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail banking,

mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong.

9. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has approved a proposal from the government to amendthe Banking Regulation Act to permit banks to trade in commodities and commodity

derivatives.

10. Liberalisation of ECB norms: The government also liberalised the ECB norms to permit

financial sector entities engaged in infrastructure funding to raise ECBs. This enabled banks

and financial institutions, which were earlier not permitted to raise such funds, explore this

route for raising cheaper funds in the overseas markets.


6/26

6 | P a g e

11. Hybrid capital:In an attempt to relieve banks of their capital crunch, the RBI has allowed

them to raise perpetual bonds and other hybrid capital securities to shore up their capital. If

the new instruments find takers, it would help PSU banks, left with little headroom for raising

equity. Significantly, FII and NRI investment limits in these securities have been fixed at

49%, compared to 20% foreign equity holding allowed in PSU banks.

THREATS

1. Threat of stability of the system: failure of some weak banks has often threatened the

stability of the system.

2. Rise in inflation figures which would lead to increase in interest rates.

3. Increase in the number of foreign players would pose a threat to the PSB as well as the

private players.

SWOT ANALYSIS- SBI

STRENGTHS

1. Brand name: SBI Bank has earned a reputation in the market over the period of time(Being the oldest bank in India tracing history back to 1806)

2. Market Leader: SBI is ranked at 380 in 2008 Fortune Global 500 list, and ranked 219 in

2008 Forbes Global 2000. With an asset base of $126 billion and its reach, it is a regionalbanking behemoth.

3. Wide Distribution Network: Excellent penetration in the country with more than 10000core branches and more than 5100 branches of associate banks (subsidiaries).

4. Diversified Portfolio: SBI Bank has all the products under its belt, which help it to extend

the relationship with existing customer.SBI Bank has umbrella of products to offer theircustomers, if once customer has relationship with the bank. Some Products, which SBI Bank

is offering are: Retail Banking Business Banking Merchant Establishment Services (EDCMachine) Personal loans & Car loans Insurance Housing Loans

5. Government Owned: Government owns 60% stake in SBI. This gives SBI an edge overprivate banks in terms of customer security.

6. Low Transition Costs: SBI offers very low transition costs which attracts small customers.

WEAKNESSES

1. The existing hierarchical management structure of the bank, although strength in somerespects, is a barrier to change.


7/26

7 | P a g e

2. Though SBI cards are the 2nd largest player in the credit card industry, it has the highestnon performing assets (NPAs) in the industry, which stand out to be at 16.28 % (Dec 2007).

3. Modernisation: SBI lags with respect to private players in terms of modernisation of its

processes, infrastructure, centralisation, etc.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. Merger of associate banks with SBI: Merger of all the associate banks (like SBH, SBM,

etc) into SBI will create a mega bank which streamlines operations and unlocks value.

2. Planning to add 2000 branches and 3000 ATMs in 2008-2009. This will further increase itsreach.

3. Increasing trade and business relations and a large number of expatriate populations offersa great opportunity to expand on foreign soil.

THREATS

1. Advent of MNC banks: Large numbers of MNC banks are mushrooming in the Indianmarket due to the friendly policies adopted by the government. This can increase the level ofcompetition and prove a potential threat for the market share of SBI bank.

2. Consumer expectations have increased many folds in last few years and the bank has notbeen responsive enough to meet them on time.

3. Private banks have started venturing into the rural and semi-urban sector, which used to be

the bastion of the State Bank and other PSU banks

4. Employee Strike: There was an employee strike in the year 2006 which disrupted SBIsactivities. This can be repeated in the future.

SWOT ANALYSIS- ICICI

STRENGTHS

1. Brand name: ICICI Bank has earned a reputation in the market for extending quality

services to the market vis-a -vis its competitors. It has earned a strong Brand name in banking

in a very short span of time.

2. Market share: ICICI Bank has the largest market share of 34% in the IT & ITES industry

in Hyderabad according to our survey (within the limitation of the sample size.)

3. Huge network: ICICI Bank has the highest number of linked branches in the country. The


8/26

8 | P a g e

bank operates through a network of 450 BRANCHES AND over 1800 ATMs across India,

thus enabling them to serve customer in better way.

4. Diversified portfolio: ICICI Bank has all the products under its belt, which help it to extend

the relationship with existing customer. ICICI Bank has umbrella of products to offer their

customers, if once customer has relationship with the bank. Some Products, which ICICI

Bank is offering are:

Retail BankingBusiness BankingMerchant Establishment Services (EDC Machine)Personal loans & Car loansDemat Services with E-BrokingMutual Fund (ICICI Bank is the Distributor of all Mutual Fund)InsuranceHousing Loans

5. Salary account: One very interesting thing that we have observed in our survey is that

ICICI is having an edge over other banks in case of Salary Account. Most of the companies

are having their Salary Account with ICICI even if their Current Account is with any other

Bank. This is mainly because of the huge network of ATMs and branches of ICICI.

6. Working hours: ICICI is the only bank which is having its working hours from 8 to 8

which is one of the major strength of ICICI Bank with respect to IT & ITES Industry. As

most of the IT & ITES companies are global players and their Parent company is in US, so

they have to work according to their office time. Thus some have their Office time in the

morning and some have it in the evening so if the working hour of the bank is 8 to 8 it is veryconvenient for them.

7. Treasury Department: ICICI is the only bank which is having its treasury department

especially for Hyderabad Customers. So customers can get the best rates for foreign

exchange.

8. Aggressive marketing: ICICI Bank is known for its aggressive marketing of its products.

Recent Endorsement of its product by AMITABH BAHCHAN proves the same. This gives

ICICI an edge over other banks.

9. Technology: From its inception, ICICI Bank has adopted a policy of selecting

internationally proven and specialized Packaged Systems for its technology. ICICI bank

technology platform has been acknowledged globally as one of the best in terms of

robustness, flexibility and cost efficiency. ICICI Bank is in a position to leverage this

platform to further build cost and service advantage.


9/26

| P a g e

WEAKNESSES

1. Transaction cost: ICICI Bank charges high cost for its transactions. Through our data

analysis we have find out that most of the small companies prefer nationalized banks only

because of this cost factor. Also the group has found out that there are companies which are

going for multi bank system i.e. they are using only those facilities of ICICI Bank which are

provided at cheaper rates (read Salary Account) and for other services they are going to

nationalize banks and MNCs (read Forex). So there exists a huge potential for ICICI Bank if

they are ready to make their transaction cost flexible.

2. Focus only on High end customers: The bank targets only the top bracket of clients anddoes not cater to the needs of small customers. Due to this reason the bank may sometimes

loose good clients.

3. Defensive approach in lending: ICICI Bank has a defensive approach in lending. Mainly to

IT & ITES companies Bank do not provide loan as these companies are not having collaterals

so bank hesitate in giving loans to them. Because of this policy companies prefer nationalized

banks and ICICI Bank in turn sometimes loose potential customers.

4. Little presence outside India: ICICI Bank is having little presence Outside India, becauseof which companies prefer MNC Bank, mainly Citibank. So if ICICI Bank tries to emerge

outside India then it has a huge potential of customers.

5. Poor customer care/service: With its aggressive marketing ICICI Bank is rapidly

increasing its customer base. They are not however, increasing the number of employees

accordingly. This is leading to deterioration of the standard of customer service.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. New IT & ITES companies: IT & ITES sector is on a boom in the Indian market context,

with new companies mushrooming in the market; it opens the door for ICICI bank to capture

the huge untapped market.

2. Dissatisfied Customers of Other Banks: The group from its survey and analysis of IT


10/26

10 | P a g e

companies have found out that there are many companies which are not satisfied with its

current bank, so ICICI with its superior service quality and long working hours can capture

those customers.

3. Remittances: From the analysis group has also found out that ICICI bank has very little

presence as far as the EEFC account is concerned. Companies prefer to bank with MNCs

(which have greater presence in the foreign countries) and nationalized banks (which

according to the companies provide lower transaction rates) to get their inward remittances in

spite of ICICI being providing one of the most competitive rates. So the bank can promote its

EEFC account better and get the key to the door of huge potential market.

4. Business advising for smaller Players: The analysis has also indicated that the concept of

business advising though very popular with the higher end players is virtually non existent in

the lower end of the market. ICICI should take this opportunity to provide business advising

to the smaller companies at competitive rates and try to take the first mover advantage.

THREATS

1. Advent of MNC banks: Large numbers of MNC banks are mushrooming in the Indian

market due to the friendly policies adopted by the government. This can increase the level of

competition and prove a potential threat for the market share of ICICI bank.

2. Dissatisfied Customers: The analysis indicated that though most of the companies are

satisfied with the products offered by ICICI bank but the poor customer support/ service is

creating a lot of dissatisfaction among the customers, this can prove to be a serious problem

as far as the market reputation of the bank is concerned and cane be a major threat in future

business acquisition.

3. Ever improving nationalized banks: With PSU banks like SBI going all out to compete

with the private banks and government giving them a free hand to do so, it can prove to be

serious threat for banks like ICICI.

the company. This capital is called as share capital as the members get the shares as per their

contribution. Authorized share capital is of 100,00,00,000 shares whereas only 63,15,58,654has been subscribed for.

Reserve and Surplus:

Reserve and surplus are the funds which the company owns by the operations in the shape ofprofits. In reserve and surplus, off course only profits are not there but also other items are

there but they are only the part of profits which are divided in the appropriation. Net Reserves

after adjustment of intangible asset and transfer to profit and loss account is Rs. 1267 Cr.

as guarantee to those outsiders. Secured loans for 2009 are Rs. 53713 Cr in form of bank

loans. Secured loans were at Rs. 51727 Cr in 2008.

APPLICATION OF FUNDS

for just one year. These assets are charged depreciation for the amount lost on their usage. In

other words depreciation is the amount charged for the usage of fixed assets. Fixed assets

Current assets are the assets which are convertible to cash or equal to cash. These current

assets are the Inventories, Sundry Debtors, Cash and Bank Balances, Other current assets etc.

any loan to director or any advance to any authority etc. Current assets are worth Rs. 37733

Cr, in 2008 current assets were worth Rs. 44417 Cr.

One of the possible implications of this decrease in current assets could be that collection

from debtors is good.

Current Liabilities and Provisions:

any loan to director or any advance to any authority etc. Current assets are worth Rs. 24163
