Transiting from correction to expansion phase: Business re‐engineering initiated by the new management resulted into significant business turnaround and is now on a task to take growth to higher trajectory, supported by recovering economy. The next wave of growth will be strong and well supported by significant branch expansion. Bank has set ambitious growth targets over next 2 years, with continued focus on productivity, efficiency and thus profitability.
Liability driven growth strategy to prop‐up NIMs: Shrugging‐ off earlier disparaging strategy to fund business growth through high‐cost bulk/wholesale deposits, bank envisages a multi‐pronged approach including significant branch expansion to mop up higher CASA deposits, to further reduce its overall cost of funds and thus prop‐up NIMs above 3% level.
Asset quality to be under‐tight control: Plagued with high GNPAs till 2HFY09 courtesy its high corporate NPAs, bank has managed to cut down GNPAs to ~ 1.3% by Q3FY10. Going‐forward, when bank is embarking upon higher growth trajectory, managing asset quality remains a daunting task, which we believe management is committed to, supported by recovering economy. We estimate bank to maintain its GNPA ratio at about 1.3% and improve its PCR >70% by FY12E.
Expect strong expansion in return ratios: Driven by high‐voltage business expansion, improving NIMs, fee income and cost efficiency, we expect bank to register 62% PAT CAGR over FY09‐12E and more than two‐fold expansion in its return ratios. We estimate banks RoE at about 22.1% and RoA at 1.3% in FY12E.
Growth‐stage bank commands premium valuation; recommend buy: Bank’s stock has re‐rated to higher levels coinciding with overall improvement in fundamentals and transformation to a growth bank. Going forward, we expect bank to move in to next phase of growth warranting enhanced re‐rating prospects. Initiate coverage on the stock with a TP of Rs202, providing an upside of about 20% from current levels.
Key risks: Higher delinquencies, delay in branch expansion and change in top management.

Company Background
IndusInd Bank, incorporated in 1994, is a new generation private bank promoted by Hinduja group. The bank has more than 200 branches spread across country (primarily in metros), with consumer finance and corporate finance contributing about 41% and 59% respectively. In FY04, IndusInd bank merged with Ashok Leyland finance to gain franchisee network, however, it remained under‐utilised leaving the bank heavily dependent on high‐cost bulk deposits. Top management change in Feb 2008 and following correction process with clear vision and focus has put back the bank on growth path. Bank is now looking towards new wave of high‐growth phase driven by significant branch expansion. Exhibit 3: Key events

Investment Rationale
Business re‐engineering leading the transformation…
IndusInd bank which had a turbulent history with significant ALM mismatch leading to sub 2% margins, inadequate product basket, high NPAs, inefficient operating structure and thus low profitability, has now emerged as a transformed bank with improved visibility and zeal to chase growth. Business re‐engineering initiated by the new management inducted in 2008 with clear target oriented approach has resulted in to significant business turnaround. The correction phase has been marked with business re‐organisation (asset as well as liability side) into specialized functional divisions, centralisation of processes, up‐gradation of technology, products, risk architecture and human capital management, with clear focus on improving overall productivity, efficiency and thus profitability. Over the past eight quarters, bank has witnessed significant expansion in profits, strong upsurge in margins, and reduction in cost and NPAs.

New management does the trick – delivers on promise
In February 2008, bank revamped its top brass management team bringing on board well‐incentivised professionals from ABN Amro Bank. The focus of the management was to improve productivity, efficiency and thus profitability measured in terms of target RoA, RoE, NIMs, NNPAs and overall efficiency over a period of 2‐3 years. The new management has completely re‐defined the business processes, products, culture, compensation structure and risk architecture to transform the bank in to goal oriented growth focused bank. Within 2 years, management has already delivered on the stated promises, proving it’s ability to execute what it had promised. We believe that banks with strong management capability have historically commanded premium valuations and so does IndusInd bank.

…heading for next wave of growth
The bank is now transiting from correction phase to expansion phase. Management is on a task to take the growth to higher trajectory, supported by recovering economy and improved fundamentals. The next wave of growth will be strong and well supported by significant branch expansion, with a clear eye on asset quality unlike earlier phase. The strategic emphasis will be on branch expansion to further improve its CASA and thus margins, enrich product basket and customer profile to improve its fee income, with continued focus on productivity, profitability and efficiency. As per management, most of the new branches have been given aggressive fee income targets and should be able to break‐even within 6‐8 months. Realising the need for capital to fund present and future business growth, bank has raised significant amount of capital in the recent past and may raise further as the need arises. Thus we believe that stage is set for higher growth and management has guided for ambitious targets to achieve over next 2 yrs.

Loans to grow at 30% CAGR over FY09‐12E; SME to be sweet‐spot
Benefiting from the small base, recovering economy and strong growth in corporate loan book, bank has registered above industry loan growth during past 4 quarters (~20‐30%). As a strategy, going forward, bank intends to broad‐base its corporate customer profile and will be focusing on high yielding SME loans to drive‐in robust credit growth. Being a small bank, it makes sense for the bank to focus on SMEs offering its high end technology products & services at better pricing and create a niche for itself. We expect bank to register 30% CAGR in loans over FY09‐12E, primarily driven by strong growth in corporate loans (primarily SME) and vehicle loans.

Well diversified loan book…
IndusInd bank has a diversified loan book comprising of about 59% corporate loans and 41% retail (consumer finance) loans. Traditionally, bank’s loan book was heavily tilted towards consumer finance (comprising more than 55% of loans) given the bank being an off‐shoot of ALFL carrying huge domain expertise, customer contacts and wide distribution network. Further, banks consumer finance book primarily comprise of cyclical vehicle loans (forming about 84% of the loans and 7% market share), majority of which are relatively short‐term and fixed‐rate in nature, leading to ALM mis‐match. Thus, bank has consciously registered strong growth in corporate loan book as compared to consumer finance, leading to shrinkage in consumer finance share by about 1600bps during past 8 quarters. However, from long term perspective, bank intends to maintain corporate‐consumer loans share of 55‐45% respectively.

Liability driven growth strategy to prop‐up NIMs above 3%
Shrugging‐off earlier disparaging strategy to fund business growth through high cost bulk deposits, bank is working on three‐pronged strategy to prop‐up its NIMs above 3% levels – (i) Branch expansion to shore up CASA deposits (ii) Reduce dependence on high‐cost wholesale deposits including improving deposit‐customer profile (iii) Correct ALM mis‐match with focus on yield management. Over past 8 quarters, CASA ratio has increased by about 550bps to 21.2% and NIMs by about 130bps to 2.9%. Management has set aggressive target of about 200‐300bps expansion in CASA ratio every year and NIM’s above 3% levels. Revived branch expansion plan after a lull of 2 years…
Bank has revived its branch expansion plan after a lull of about 2 years, which was marked by correction phase, under the aegis of new management. RBI’s concern on high promoter stake and thus a hindrance in issuing branch licenses has been resolved. Bank has added about 30 branches in FY10 and plans to add about 100 branches in next one year. Bank already has strong distribution network of about 468 touch points, of which some can be converted in to branches with minimal expense. Size of the new branches will be relatively smaller with clear targets for deposit mobilization and fee income generation. Further bank has introduced some new products at branches to accelerate the CASA drive and is focusing on proprietary and small businesses for shoring up its CASA deposit base.

….Reducing customer concentration risk and increasing share of retail deposits
Along with lower CASA ratio, bank’s cost of funds has also been higher due to lower wholesale deposit‐customer base and retail deposits share, resulting in to reduced bargaining power as compared to other banks sourcing funds from these sources. Bank’s wholesale deposit base was highly concentrated with ~60% of total deposits coming from top 30 depositors, in metros. Thus apart from strategy to reduce dependence on these high cost wholesale deposits, bank also expanded its wholesale deposit‐customer base tapping co‐operative banks and state PSUs and simultaneously increase retail term deposits share. As a result, deposit profile has improved with top 30 depositors accounting for less than 30% of the total deposits, which is expected to drop further. Bank is also actively focusing on increasing retail participation in term deposits, which has led to increase in share of retail term deposits (Term deposits < Rs10m) to ~30% from ~25% a year ago.

….Correcting ALM mis‐match and managing yields
Bank had high proportion of fixed rate vehicle loans (unable to keep in pace with rising interest rates), funded primarily by high‐cost bulk deposits. Further, being primarily in to consumer finance, average duration of bank’s loan book was scattered within 1‐3 years bucket (avg. duration – 18 to 20 months), whereas, on the liability side deposits were a mix of high‐cost short‐term bulk and fixed term deposits without appropriate tenor mapping with assets leading to gross ALM mismatch. However, the new management has taken various measures to address this discrepancy, focusing on liability as well as asset side. On the asset side, bank has attained significant improvement in loan yields by increasing the share of floating rate portfolio to 60% from 40% and also appropriately pricing it’s products based on customer profile. Also, bank has increased the share of corporate loans and thus increased the average duration of the loan book providing more stability. Further, bank is gradually reducing the share of low yielding RIDF bonds, as it is now able to fulfill its priority sector lending commitment through direct lending. On the liability side, bank is focusing on reducing dependence on bulk deposits (targets to reduce the share of bulk deposits to ~30% from current 50%), increasing share of retail term deposits, CASA and appropriate tenor mapping, to reduce its overall cost of funds.

Fee income remains one of the key focus area
As bank has witnessed significant improvement in its margins, bank is now increasingly focusing on fee income (targeting 30‐35%YoY growth), which still remains a weak area, to enhance its RoA and RoE. Core fee income contribution for the bank had typically been lower prior to FY09 (~1% of avg. assets) due to inadequate product suite, and weak customer base and profile. However, new management has consciously taken various measures to improve fee income such as: improved pricing of existing services, enriching fee based product basket, enlarging customer base and stepping‐up fee based services such as transactional banking, third party distribution, trade & foreign exchange, cross‐selling and loan processing apart from conventional sources of fee income. The bank has also set up special product groups to enhance focus on product and customer‐wise segments to generate higher fee income, broadly categorized as –
Transactional banking group – This group caters to various transactional banking requirements of clients across corporate and consumer banking segment such as CMS, trade finance, supply chain financing, remittances, commodity financing, electronic banking and capital market related financial services.
Global markets group – Supports business units in sale of international business products including derivatives, bullion import, corporate forex and proprietary trading in fixed income/currencies/equity markets
Investment banking group – Executes investment banking mandate for bank’s clients. Bank has aggressively revamped the team to increase business from this lucrative and recovering business segment. Bank is targeting about Rs250mn fee income from this business. Bank has strong presence in consumer finance segment; however, off‐late share of corporate loans too has increased in bank’s loan portfolio, indicating increased activity on corporate side, which should further boost banks fee income. Being a small bank, SME remains the key focus segment for the bank to generate fee income, where it can offer its high end technology products and create a niche for itself. During past few quarters, bank has witnessed strong expansion in non‐interest income driven by better fee income and treasury gains. Going forward, we expect share of non‐interest income to marginally reduce led by subdued treasury income; however, fee income (including forex income) contribution to RoA is likely to go up to 0.9% from 0.5% in FY07.

Cost likely to rise, but improved efficiency and income to keep C‐I ratio in check
In its earlier avatar, bank had elevated cost structure with very high cost‐income ratio at about 67% in FY08, due to significant operational inefficiencies coupled with lower income. However, bank has taken various corrective steps to improve operational efficiencies such as centralization of some significant operations, optimal leveraging of network, better supervisory architecture, performance linked incentives and replenishing work force to meet the requirements of transformed organization. Bank has also improved its technology backbone to ensure faster processing without much human effort at relatively lower cost. This has resulted in significant reduction in banks C‐I ratio to about 60% in FY09 and 51% for 9mFY10, despite nearly doubling its work force during this period.
Bank is envisaging significant branch and business expansion ahead, which we believe will put upward pressure on the cost. However, bank has set aggressive target of bringing down C‐I ratio below 50% through cost rationalisation and generating higher revenues.

Asset quality to be under‐tight control
Plagued with high GNPAs till 2HFY09 courtesy its high corporate NPAs, bank has managed to cut down its GNPAs to about 1.3% by Q3FY10 steered by significant recoveries and w/offs. Bank’s chunky corporate NPAs have come down significantly, whereas, consumer finance (CFD) NPAs have remained nearly stable despite trying conditions during recession. Going‐forward, when bank is embarking upon higher growth trajectory, managing asset quality remains a daunting task, which we believe management is committed to, supported by recovering economy. We estimate bank’s GNPA ratio at 1.3%, NNPA at 0.3% and PCR >70% by FY12E.

Corporate NPAs typically are chunky and thus weigh heavy on NPAs for small size banks like IndusInd Bank. Thus, bank has been focusing on broad‐basing its corporate client profile along with enhancing risk‐management architecture. These measures coupled with improved economy and rapid growth in corporate loans has led to reduction in corporate NPAs from a high of 4% in FY08 to 0.6% in Q3FY10. Consumer finance business typically is mired with higher NPAs and coupled with heavy dependency on cyclical automobile segment further increases the risk. Majority of NPAs in the vehicle financing business (particularly CV financing) are due to technical defaults/minor delays and stringent NPA recognition norms applicable to banks (90 days NPA recognition) vis‐à‐vis relatively lenient norms for NBFC’s (180 days). However, bank has managed to maintain NPAs within reasonable levels (2‐3% range), primarily due to its favorable sourcing model (through branches/agents, rather than DSA/DST) stringent NPA recognition/recovery norms, domain expertise and majority of borrowers being captive customers.

Provision coverage to improve above 70%
Bank had a low provision coverage ratio (PCR) at 20‐30% (below industry avg. of 52%), which bank attributes primarily to Consumer finance book (CFD). Consumer finance loans, which are pre‐dominantly vehicle loans, typically have high degree of churn in NPAs and carries heavy security cover providing strong protection against any loss, allowing bank to maintain lower PCR. However, off‐late overall PCR ratio has improved significantly to about 50% (including technical w/off at 56%), including corporate PCR at about 99% (almost fully provided) and CFD PCR at 32%. Considering recent RBI mandate to maintain overall PCR at about 70%, bank intends to provide aggressively in ensuing quarters, supported by strong pre‐provision profits to perk‐up its coverage ratio. We estimate bank’s PCR at about 58% in FY10 and at 75% in FY12E.

Expect strong expansion in return ratios
Driven by high‐voltage business expansion, improving NIMs, fee income and cost efficiency, we expect bank to register 62% PAT CAGR over FY09‐12E and more than two‐fold expansion in its return ratios. We estimate banks RoE at about 22% and RoA at 1.3% in FY12E.
Bank’s RoE prior to FY09 was lower than 10% despite better capital leverage, owing to lower income and higher expenses. However, since the new management took over the reign in FY09, bank witnessed strong re‐bound in its return ratios with RoE expanding by 480bps and RoA by 24bps in just one year. Bank has raised capital thrice during past 3 years and will need to further infuse capital to maintain reasonable CAR to fund expansionary phase, which could affect its RoE.

Valuation Analysis
Growth‐stage bank commands premium valuation; buy with TP of Rs202
Historically, strong and consistent growth oriented banks with dynamic management have commanded higher valuations and significant market cap expansion (e.g HDFC Bank, Yes, Kotak Bank). With economy recovering, growth‐oriented banks will be back in demand. Over past 2 yrs, IndusInd bank’s business has been over‐hauled setting up platform for higher growth trajectory. Bank’s stock has been re‐rated to higher levels coinciding with overall improvement in fundamentals and transformation to a growth‐bank. Going forward, we expect bank to move in to higher growth trajectory over next 2 yrs reporting strong fundamentals, warranting enhanced re‐rating prospects and thus initiate coverage on the stock with a TP of Rs202 (3.3xFY11E Adj BV and 2.7xFY12E Adj BV). Our TP provides an upside of ~ 20% from current levels.

Key risks and concerns
Higher delinquencies: Bank has higher share of consumer finance loans dominated by vehicle loans, which are typically subjected to cycles and associated with higher delinquencies. Further, bank also had history of chunky corporate NPAs, exposing bank to higher delinquencies.
Delay in branch expansion: Going forward, bank is banking on branch expansion to drive in growth, which we believe could get affected if there is any major delay in branch expansion. Further, RBI has given branch licences to bank on assurance by promoters to reduce their stake below regulatory levels over a period of time. Any back‐tracking on the same could attract wrath from the regulator, affecting its branch expansion plan.
Change in top management: New management has been instrumental in turning around the bank and thus any major change in the top management cadre without appropriate replacement could hamper business rhythm and thus its performance.
