Multiple strategies to manage growth; will auger well post 80C

The top four life insurance companies delivered 4% to 18% APE growth in 3QFY20. While

October was a weak month on APE, most companies bounced back in November and

December 2019. Interestingly, the drivers of growth were different across players. For example:

SBI Life delivered superior ULIP growth, mostly though agency channel, which pushed the

business to meet MDRT targets. While ICICI Prudential Life was in the positive after reporting

muted growth for the preceding six months), the demand seems to be driven by traditional

business- mostly par and protection business. HDFC Life’s yoy growth was driven by par (likely

its new product) and ongoing traction in the non-par business, though down qoq. Limited pay,

return of premium protection policies and non-par policies with regular income were key drivers

for Max Life. Thus, despite the absence of any significant catalyst (like high ULIPs or falling

interest rates), large players were able to use various strategies to deliver healthy growth.

The above trends, in our view, highlight the ability of life insurance companies to manage

growth through a combination of products and channels. These provide some comfort on the

ability of the top players to sail through potential near-term challenges like losing the 80C sales

pitch in FY2021E.

Is protection business losing sheen?

Most life insurers have reported a moderate pace of growth in the protection business led by

(1) competition on pricing in individual business, (2) muted growth in the credit life business,

either due to high distribution costs or slowdown at NBFCs and (3) transitioning towards

increasing share of limited pay policies.

Market sources suggest that reinsurers are planning to hike reinsurance rates on term policies.

Two likely reasons (1) adverse mortality experience due to aggressive pricing – this has however

not yet been reflected in the operating variance reported by large players in FY2019 and

(2) expansion into interiors/newer customer segments, with adverse mortality experience. In

case of the latter, the ability of insurance companies to differentiate and underwrite customers

will be crucial to drive profitability.

Are insurance companies assuming higher risks?

Strong VNB growth during the quarter was mostly driven by higher APE growth. VNB margin

expansion was about 60 to 250 bps yoy. This compares with significantly higher risk on balance

sheet -the share of non-par savings policies increased by ~500 to 1,700 bps yoy. Following

strong growth in HDFC Life’s non-par business in 1QFY20, other players seems to be catching

on. The share of non-par protection has increased albeit moderately. It appears that incremental

margins are lower due to ROP and LP products. Solvency has reduced yoy for ICICI Prudential

and Max Life.

Insurance India

Product diversification augurs well for growth. 3QFY20 trends of top four life

companies suggest that healthy APE and VNB growth, though moderating from 1H,

was driven by a variety of factors, without any common catalyst for the quarter. This

likely indicates multiple drivers of products and channels that insurance companies can

toggle with to deliver superior growth and in that sense reduce the impact of any

developments like the reduction of 80C benefits. However, VNB margin expansion was

moderate as compared to the rise in non-par business, likely indicating higher risk on

balance sheet.

APE growth – Diverse trends, no common thread

Life insurers (except ICICI Prudential Life) reported APE growth in the range of 16-18% yoy

in 3QFY20. We don’t see any common trend or growth driver. (1) SBI Life and Max Life

picked up in ULIPs (18-19%) while HDFC Life and ICICI Prudential Life slowed down (-11%

to -35%). (2) Growth rate in protection APE was strong for Max Life (1.4X) and ICICI

Prudential (34%) but moderated (10-15%) for HDFC Life and SBI Life. (3) Non-par business

moderated for HDFC Life to 1.9X from 5.7X in 1HFY20, while it was stable/picked up for the

rest – ICICI Prudential Life (other segment) was up 1.9X (stable qoq), Max (1.9X from 4X)

and SBI Life (18X). The focus for most players was on non-core channels, digital and

strategic partnerships coupled with higher volumes from the agency business.

After a weak October, business bounced back in November and December. Three of

the players (excluding ICICI Prudential Life) had a weak October but bounced back in

November and December. ICICI Prudential Life was in the positive for the entire quarter after

being muted (-7% to +4%) for the preceding six months.

ULIPs: Down ICICI Life, UP SBI Life

ICICI Prudential: Life beyond ULIPs. ICICI Prudential Life’ reported 4% yoy growth in

APE in 3QFY20 after quarters of decline. Its ULIP business was down 11% yoy. This is due

to a slowdown in its high-ticket ULIP segment that is sluggish due to weak market

sentiment. ICICI Prudential Life management has made concerted efforts for delivering

stronger 3Q by (1) expanding product suite (increasing non-par annuities), (2) growing

agency channel (3QFY20 was the first quarter of 10%+ growth from agency) and

(3) focusing on new ecosystems such as digital partners, etc. Notably, its annuity business

increased 61% yoy (on a low base) in 3QFY20 (up 87% in 9MFY20).

ULIPs drive business for SBI Life. SBI Life reported overall APE growth of 16% yoy in

3QFY20. Calculated APE was muted at 8% yoy in October 2019 but revived to 23% yoy

in November 2019 and marginally moderate thereafter to 17% yoy in December 2019.

Push for ULIP business at the year-end, mostly by the agency channel (up 24% yoy), was

a volume driver. The company re-priced non-par savings products in 3QFY20, which

registered qoq lower volumes. Banking business was muted (at 9% yoy) as SBI has

achieved its 20% growth target.

Par: Down Max Life, Up HDFC Life

HDFC Life: Non-par slowed down in October, making way for par. HDFC Life’s

calculated APE dropped ~12% yoy in October 2019 as the company slowed down in the

fast growing non-par business. Growth however bounced back in November 2019 and

December 2019 at 49% yoy and 38% yoy respectively led by a pick-up in pace of the

newly launched participating product and gradual increase in protection and non-par

business. HDFC Life reported 18% yoy growth in APE in 3QFY20 to Rs18.2 bn on the

back of (1) 1.9X yoy growth in non-par savings business and (2) 15% yoy growth in the

protection business.

On a qoq basis, HDFC Life’s APE declined 24% for the non-par savings business. The

company had moderated growth in non-par savings from 2Q onwards post recording

a sharp increase in 1QFY20. Management guided that the company has broadly

achieved FY2020E target for this segment and non-par growth may further reduce in

4QFY20E.

Amid moderation in growth from non-par savings and moderate rise in protection,

strong volumes of the new product will support overall APE growth in 4QFY20E. As

such, share of participating policies will likely increase in the near term.

Par down, non-par drives Max. Max Life reported 16% yoy growth in APE led by (1) a

sharp increase in protection business at 1.4X yoy and (2) 1.9X yoy rise in non-par savings

business. ULIPs were moderated at 19% yoy in 3QFY20. The big drag was in the par

segment – APE down 27% yoy, higher than 16% decline in 2QFY20.

Is protection business losing sheen?

Slower protection APE growth for HDFC Life and SBI Life. HDFC Life and SBI Life have

moderate pace of growth in the protection business led by (1) competition on pricing in

individual business, (2) muted growth in credit life business and (3) likely adverse mortality

experience. Management of most of the companies guided an increasing pricing pressure in

the retail protection segment driving slower growth during the quarter. HDFC Life will

increasingly focus on limited pay (LP) policies, which will likely pull down VNB margins but

drive growth. SBI Life has focused on LP in the past and is now launching a new protection

product. Strong growth in protection business for Max Life was led by an increase in

distribution of these products through the agency channel.

While most players reported growth in the retail protection, credit life was muted. For

example, credit life APE for SBI Life for 9MFY20 was ~Rs 0.9 bn compared to Rs1.1 bn in

FY2019; as such, the company may not report high growth in FY2020E. HDFC Life has

renegotiated a couple of its distribution relationships in the past one year. While ICICI

Prudential Life did not share the break-up of protection APE, management highlighted that

growth in individual business was higher than credit life in 9MFY20.

ICICI Prudential Life and Max Life reported high protection growth but VNB margin

accretion missing. ICICI Prudential Life reported 37% yoy growth in protection APE in

3QFY20, albeit lower than 85-88% yoy over 1QFY20 and 2QFY20. The share of protection

business increased 315 bps yoy to 13.1% in 3QFY20 (up 550 bps yoy to 14.1% in 9MFY20).

Management highlighted that retail protection grew at a faster pace in 9MFY20 and

dominates the overall protection mix. Retail and group business dominated

incremental growth in 9MFY20. ICICI Prudential Life is a key player in the retail

protection space; management estimates its market share at ~25-30% in this

segment.

been higher than regular pay policies for ICICI Prudential Life. Persistency in limited pay

policies is higher than regular pay policies.

The company reported VNB margin expansion of 250 bps yoy, lower than growth in

share of protection APE. VNB margin in LP and ROP is likely about 2000 bps lower

than regular pay policies.

Max Life: Strong growth in protection APE; comparable VNB margin flat yoy. Max

Life reported 1.4X yoy growth in protection APE (similar across individual and group

business). The company has launched return of premium (RoP) and limited pay protection

products. While its reported pre-overrun VNB margins were up 120 bps to 23.8% in

3QFY20, these are not comparable yoy due to a difference in tax rate assumptions;

management highlighted that margins are almost flat yoy, on a comparable basis.

A couple of new products across players

Most life insurers are focused on developing and deploying new products suited to customer

needs to drive incremental APE.

HDFC Life has been a pioneer in product development. The company focused on non-par

products in 1QFY20, including its flagship, Sanchay Plus which led to strong growth in

APE over 1QFY20-2QFY20. The company has recently launched Sanchay Par Advantage,

a non-par product with higher share of equity investments.

ICICI Prudential Life has launched three new products (ICICI Pru iProtect Smart, ICICI Pru

Savings Suraksha and ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth) targeted at various customer cohorts.

Max Life has shifted focus to higher share of endowment products from regular income

products and has launched return of premium (RoP) and limited pay protection products

off-late.

SBI Life plans to launch a new protection product in 4QFY20E which the management

expects will drive its VNB.

Moderate expansion in VNB margins- does this reflect higher balance sheet risk?

Most life insurers reported strong growth in VNB at 19-33% yoy in 3QFY20; albeit lower

than 20-57% yoy in 1HFY20 led by (1) strong APE growth of 4-18%(2) growth in protection

policies which have lower margins, (4) increasing share of ULIPs (SBI Life) and par policies on

Moderate margin expansion for HDFC Life. HDFC Life’s overall VNB margins

expanded 125 bps yoy (260 bps yoy in 9MFY20) despite an increase in the share of non-

par saving and protection businesses (1650 bps).This likely reflects (1) some margin

pressure in protection business (2) lower margins products in protection like LP. VNB

margins have been lower for past two quarters than peak of 29.8% in 1QFY20 and

25.4% in 2QFY20, due to higher share of non-par policies during 1HFY20.

Comparable VNB margins flat yoy for Max Life. Max Life reported VNB margin (post-

cost overrun) of 21% though dragged by continued large investments in proprietary

channels, pre-overrun VNB margins were higher at 23.8% in 3QFY20. Reported VNB

growth was strong at 20%, boosted by expansion in VNB margin; pre overrun VNB

margin was 22.6% in 3QFY19 (post overrun was 20.6%). However, VNB margins are not

comparable yoy due to a nominal tax rate considered by the company in 9MFY19 versus

effective tax rate considered this year. Management highlighted that VNB margin, on

comparable basis, were flat yoy.

SBI Life reported meager 6 bps yoy/10 bps qoq VNB margin expansion in 3QFY20.

VNB margins expanded 10 bps qoq to 18.5% in 3QFY20 despite 530 bps increase in

share of non-par savings. This may be due to reduction in share of protection APE by 50

bps yoy and (2)700 bps decline in share of par, losing share to low-margin ULIPs. Muted

VNB margin expansion is due to re-pricing of annuity products in 3QFY20. In 1HFY20, the

company delivered about 400 bps VNB margin expansion but it was offset by about 300

bps negative investment variance, leading to net reported VNB margin expansion of 80

bps yoy. Better hedging policies uplifted VNB margins qoq.

Strong VNB growth (up 33%) for ICICI Prudential Life. ICICI Prudential Life reported

strong VNB growth in 3QFY20 (up 25% yoy in 9MFY20) led by strong growth in high-

margin protection and non-par business. There was marginal drag in VNB on the back of

(1) rising share of low margin limited pay protection policies and (2) drop in persistency

during the quarter.

Focus on increasing business through non-core channels, bancassurance down

The top life insurers have focused on increasing share of non-core and agency business and

lower dependency on bancassurance over the past few quarters. The share of bancassurance

is down by 340-1000 bps yoy in 3QFY20 for the top three players; Max was flat.

This is led by (1) increasing investments in agency, (2) training programs to improve

productivity of agents (Max Life), (3) strategic tie-ups and partnerships (for example:

partnership between HDFC Life and Airtel), (4) pushing volumes through digital aggregators

and other digital channels and (5) developing proprietary tech platforms for smoother

customer on-boarding.

The overall individual agent base has however increased at a muted pace over 9MFY20 due

to high attrition despite high gross additions. Max Life highlighted that the decline in overall

agents reflects its focus on improving productivity of live agents.

HDFC Life continues to focus on direct and other channels- 31% of individual APE.

The share of direct and other channels has increased to 31% of individual APE from 23%

in FY2019. The company has tied-up with 270 partners across 40 ecosystems to drive

growth. Additionally, the company remains focused on growing the agency channel;

agency business was up 200 bps yoy to 15% of individual APE in 9MFY20; management

highlighted that the exit rate in December was higher and as such this ratio will improve

further hereon. Number of individual agents increased to 97,691 (up 10% yoy) from

93,627 in1QFY20 and 91,172 in FY2019. Consequently, share of bancassurance

continued its downward trajectory, although still dominant at 52% of individual APE

(down 1,650 bps yoy/up 190 bps qoq).

ICICI Prudential Life: Agency and others (including non-core and direct) drive 46%

of overall APE, up 340 bps yoy

Strong traction in direct channels and corporate agents led to increase in non-core

channels. Business generated through individual agents increased 11% yoy in 3QFY20

(down 8% yoy in 1HFY20) on the back of continued increase in overall agent base

(overall individual agents up 12% in 9MFY20).

ICICI Prudential Life has tied up with new web aggregators, payments bank (tied up

with Airtel Payments Bank in September 2019) and insurance managers to drive

growth in non-core channels. ICICI Prudential Life has tied up with PayTm to sell

‘iProtect’ policies (in-app purchase for KYC compliant customers).

In order to increase business through the agency channel, the company has

(1) increased connect with highly productive agents (closer mapping to sales team,

regular training, etc.) and (2) focused on increasing activation of other agents,

including newly added ones.

APE from the bancassurance channel declined 2% yoy in 3QFY20.

SBI Life: Weak momentum in SBI. SBI Life reported 9% growth in bancassurance

channel in 3QFY20, 18% in 9MFY20. Management highlighted that State Bank of India

has delivered its about 20% target and hence went soft during the quarter. The company

pushed the agency channel in the past two months of the quarter. APE growth was

strong at 24% yoy through the agency business. Management guided that push in high-

ticket ULIPs on the back of year-end targets for agents led to sharp APE growth from this

channel. ULIPs increased 24% yoy in the agency business. Further growth in other

channels was strong at 100% yoy (on a low base).

Max Life reports steady growth across channels. Continued investments in

proprietary agency business led to strong 16% yoy individual APE growth in this channel

during 3QFY20. Management is focused on retaining and incentivizing agents with

higher productivity (those generating APE of >Rs0.1 mn per month). Consequently,

growth has remained strong despite higher agent attrition driving marginal decline in the

overall individual agency base. Focus has been on the non-par segments-the share of

non-par savings business through this channel has increased to 11% in 9MFY20 from

<1% in 9MFY19. While business from Axis Bank increased by 18% yoy, other (mostly Yes

Bank) was muted at 4% yoy.

Banks are weak in term business; needs focus

The contribution of protection business originated through bancassurance has been low at

~<5% for most players over the past two years. The business garnered through this channel

has however been increasing over the past few quarters.

HDFC Life. The company has focused on channel diversification in non-traditional

segments. Protection is just 2% of individual APE from the bancassurance channel.

ICICI Prudential Life. Contribution of protection through bancassurance has increased

to high-single digits (contribution share to overall bancassurance business), from

negligible earlier.

Max Life. Contribution of protection to overall bancassurance business is low at ~5%.

SBI Life. It has focused on protection though the bank. Its management guided that

protection business will ramp up through the agency channel in 4QFY20E owing to

increase in incentive schemes. Share of non-par (protection and savings) was 11% in

3QFY20.

Persistency ratios have generally improved

Persistency trends are generally improving. The exceptions are ICICI Prudential Life and Max

Life (in select higher buckets). Increased surrenders of ULIPs from a particular product cohort

led to a drop in persistency ratios for ICICI Prudential Life and Max Life (61st month). On the

back of weakness of capital markets and higher ULIP surrenders, trends in persistency were

mixed for most insurance companies, sequentially. Increase in limited pay protection policies

over the past few quarters with higher persistency, augurs well. Persistency ratios reported

by most companies are higher than the assumptions and as such should not result in any

negative operating variance.

High persistency ratios HDFC Life. HDFC Life’s overall persistency has improved across

most buckets on yoy basis in 3QFY20 (the company does not share persistency excluding

single premium and as such may not be comparable with ICICI Prudential Life and SBI

Life). 13th

month persistency increased 460 bps yoy to 88.8% and 25th month

persistency increased to 80.2% (up 160 bps yoy). On a sequential basis, persistency ratios

dropped marginally in early buckets most likely due to rising surrenders from ULIPs. HDFC

Life’s reported persistency ratios are higher compared to most peers across similar

buckets and above the company’s assumptions. As such, HDFC Life will likely report

positive operating persistency variance.

A tad weaker persistency for ICICI Prudential Life. ICICI Prudential Life reported 13th

month persistency (excluding single premium) of 83.1% in 8MFY20, down from 83.6%

in 5MFY20 and 84.1% in FY2019. Persistency dropped across other early buckets also

(25th and 37th). The rise in surrenders in high-ticket ULIPs on the back of weakness in

capital markets has led to a decline in persistency ratios. Persistency ratios improved

marginally in the 49th bucket. The current experience is just within the company’s

assumptions (82.5% 13 month persistency) and will not lead to any negative persistency

variance. Management guided that persistency ratios have held up well in other segments

and increased surrenders are only in select ULIP plans.

Mixed trends in persistency for Max Life. Max reported mixed trends in persistency in

3QFY20. The company does not share persistency excluding single premium and as such

may not be comparable with ICICI Prudential Life and SBI Life. While overall persistency

ratios were broadly stable in the 13th, 25th and 49th month buckets, it deteriorated in

37th month and 61st month (down ~400 bps yoy/200 bps qoq in 8MFY20 to 51%).

Management highlighted that increased surrenders from a particular ULIP cohort has led

to weak persistency. As such persistency in the non-par and protection business is broadly

stable.

SBI Life reports strong persistency trends across the board. SBI Life reported yoy

improvement in persistency (on regular premium basis) across all buckets in 3QFY20.

Lower redemptions in ULIPs largely led to improvement in persistency. On regular

premium basis, persistency ratios improved 150-400 bps across buckets in 9MFY20. On a

sequential basis, persistency improved across all buckets except 49th

(marginally down).

13th month persistency increased 150 bps yoy in 9MFY20 to 83.5% and 400 bps yoy in

the 49th month bucket to 76%.

Cost ratios elevated

Calculated cost/APE ratio increased 30-250 bps yoy for most companies in 3QFY20 owing to

continued investment in technological initiatives, a widening distribution base (including

new strategic partnerships) and product diversification.

High new business strain for HDFC Life. HDFC Life’s cost/APE was up 60 bps yoy to

25.3%; albeit lower than 27-28% observed over the past two quarters; likely due to high

growth in non-par business. Operating expenses were up 15% yoy. New business strain

was high at Rs6.1 bn in 3QFY20 compared to Rs5.1 bn in 2QFY20 and Rs4.5 bn in

3QFY19.

Cost/APE up 250 bps yoy for ICICI Prudential Life in 3QFY20. Operating expenses

increased 32% yoy in 3QFY20 while APE growth was muted at 4% yoy. Growth in

protection APE was higher at 37% yoy. Calculated cost/APE increased 250 bps yoy/30

bps qoq in 3QFY20 to 16.5% (up 125 bps yoy in 9MFY20) owing to higher expenses in

the protection business, investment in business expansion and technology initiatives.

Employee expenses were up 25% yoy. Reported cost/TWRP (total cost including

commission/(total premium- 90% of single premium)) decreased 90 bps yoy to 11.1% in

9MFY20 in the savings business.

Operating expenses up 27% yoy for SBI Life. Overall operating expenses growth was

strong at 27% yoy. SBI Life continued to invest in (1) protection business, (2) agency

business and (3) digital initiatives. Calculated cost/APE ratio increased 30 bps yoy

(down100 bps qoq) to 12.2%. Sequential improvement in cost ratios was led by strong

growth in the high ticket ULIP segment.

Max Life will continue to have large overruns. Cost/average AUM increased 20 bps

yoy for Max Life to 5.1% in 3QFY20. Growth in operating expenses was high at 21%

driven by continued investments in proprietary channels, in order to reduce dependence

on Axis Bank. The company expects cost ratios to remain high till FY2022E.

Strong domestic show

SUNP’s 3QFY20 revenues were in line with our estimates, as strong domestic performance was

offset by weak performance in the Taro US business. The domestic business grew 13% yoy,

exceeding our estimates by ~3%. After several years, SUNP also announced 10% expansion of

its domestic field force to strengthen its domestic business. Taro sales declined US$13 mn qoq

to US$148 mn, largely attributable to the US topicals market. EMs disappointed with 3% yoy

growth, though, excluding South Africa tenders, the division reported strong 15% yoy growth.

Gross margins at 73% were 70 bps higher than estimates, given the geographical mix, with

EBITDA in line with our estimates, despite an 8% EBITDA miss in Taro. Despite sharply higher

amortization, PBT was largely in line with our estimates, though, a sharp increase in tax rate due

to one-off factors led to ~11% miss on EPS.

Sharp growth in global specialty segment, with 3QFY20 sales at US$118 mn

Global specialty sales were US$118 mn (+US$27 mn qoq), with bulk of growth attributed to

ordering patterns in Absorica and Levulan, with Ilumya likely to have moved up by further

US$2-3 mn qoq to US$8-10 mn (US$18-20 mn in FY2019), though it is now tracking US$45-50

mn on an annualized basis as per patient trends. We continue to expect Ilumya to reach

US$145 mn sales in FY2021, and further increase to US$177 mn in FY2022. The management

also provided R&D numbers for the specialty business, which at 24% of sales in 1QFY20 (US$25

mn for 1HFY20), are in line with the sharp ~45% drop in specialty R&D seen in FY2019, given

limited investments so far in label expansion trials for Ilumya. However, the management

guided to increase R&D costs from FY2021, due to pivotal trials for PsA, and Phase II trials for

other indications for Ilumya. SUNP launched Cequa during the quarter, and has seen good

initial feedback, with our estimates suggesting 2-3% market share within a quarter of launch.

SUNP has launched Absorica LD, to counter generic threat from 4QFY21, though the

effectiveness of such a switch strategy is questionable, and will depend on the payor

negotiations given Absorica generic entry in 4QCY20.

Market concerns on specialty pipeline adequately captured in the multiples - ADD

We believe market concerns on the specialty pipeline are now adequately captured in the

valuation with the stock trading at 10X FY2021 EV/EBITDA and 18.5X FY2021 P/E. We tweak

our FY2021/22 EPS by ~2% each. ADD stays.

Sun Pharmaceuticals (SUNP) Pharmaceuticals

In-line quarter. SUNP’s 3QFY20 results were broadly in line with estimates, helped by

strong performance in the domestic segment, which grew 13% yoy, offsetting weak

Taro performance. Global specialty sales increased US$27 mn qoq to US$118 mn partly

helped by ordering patterns for Absorica and Levulan, with 9MFY20 run-rate now at

US$303 mn. We believe Ilumya and Cequa are progressing well on the market roll-out,

with market concerns on specialty pipeline adequately captured in the multiples. ADD.

Residential sales supported by Ultima in 3QFY20; will need new avenues of sales from hereon

DLF continues to maintain sales momentum with pre-sales of Rs7.3 bn in 3QFY20 comfortable

to achieve sales of Rs27 bn for FY2020E. We highlight net sales for FY2019 were at Rs24.4 bn

exceeding the company’s target of Rs22.5 bn (+144% yoy) for the year. We note that sales

from Rest of Gurugram—Rs8.1 bn made good cancellations of Rs1.5 bn in Phase 5.

Outstanding completed inventory stands reduced to Rs94 bn (area of 10.14 mn sq. ft) as of

December 2019 while pending receivable from sold inventory now stands increased to Rs28 bn.

We note that near-completed inventory at Ultima and moderation of sales at Camelias do pose

a challenge for sales target in FY2021E (KIE Rs30 bn), though launch of a new 7 mn sq. ft low-

rise developments with ticket size of Rs10-35 mn could provide the boost needed by DLF.

Collections at Rs6 bn (-9% yoy) for 3QFY20 from residential sales were supplemented by rental

stream of Rs360 mn. Operational cash outflow of Rs6 bn comprised Rs1.8 bn towards

construction expenses, Rs1.8 bn towards finance cost and the balance towards taxes and

corporate overheads resulting in net cash flow of Rs390 mn in 3QFY20 which is the lowest

operation cash flow in the last seven quarters, since DLF turned operating cash flow positive.

DLF recognized Rs13 bn of revenues comprising sales of Rs10 bn from development business

comprising delivery of 2.38 mn sq. ft while rental income from DLF’s own rental portfolio was

at Rs606 mn. Net debt for DLF stands at Rs48 bn in 3QFY20 from Rs44 bn in 2QFY20.

Maintain ADD with revised fair value of Rs260/share

We maintain ADD rating with a revised fair value of Rs260/share (from Rs215/share) for DLF as

we roll-forward to a March 2022 based fair value estimate (from March 2021). We note that

our fair value estimate does not include the new proposed development of 7 mn sq. ft for the

development business that could add Rs33 bn of gross cash flows, and (2) proposed

development of DLF Downtown (5 mn sq. ft) in Chennai and Gurgaon that will entail a capex of

Rs27 bn.

Our fair value comprises (1) Rs155/share (Rs382 bn) for attributable ownership in DCCDL,

(2) Rs67/share (Rs166 bn) for land bank of 192 mn sq. ft, (3) Rs22/share (Rs54 bn) for ongoing

residential portfolio including inventory of Rs94 bn, and (4) Rs6/share (Rs15 bn) for two hotel

properties.

DLF (DLFU) Real Estate

Sales momentum maintained. DLF reported robust operational performance with

sales of Rs7.2 (+30% yoy) in 3QFY20 along with stable rental income of Rs7.6 bn from

DCCDL during the quarter. The sales performance should be seen in the context of

cancellations at Camelias that were made good with strong sales of Rs8 bn in Ultima.

Launch of new projects in the rental business as well as development portfolio remains

key for DLF. Maintain ADD rating with revised FV of Rs260/share (from Rs215/share).

Independent floors to fill in moderation in premium segment

In order to propel the next leg of growth to its residential sales, DLF is planning to develop 7

mn sq. ft by converting its existing plotted inventory into low-rise independent floors which

is expected to show better sales traction in the current market scenario. These floors would

have a ticket-size of Rs10-35 mn. Total sales value for these developments is expected at

Rs50 bn with construction cost of Rs17 bn. We note that this is a departure from DLF’s

extant strategy to develop only large premium apartments, and is reflective of challenges the

company may be facing in maintaining sales momentum in the higher ticket size

developments.

DCCDL continues its resilient earnings performance

DCCDL, the rental arm of DLF, reported EBITDA of Rs7.8 bn (Rs8.1 bn in 2QFY20) with

revenues of Rs10.8 bn (Rs11.6 bn in 2QFY20). During the quarter, the company achieved

net leasing of 0.43 mn sq. ft taking total leased area to 28.7 mn sq. ft. Overall occupancy

across the portfolio remained healthy at 94.7% in 3QFY20. For 3QFY20, DCCDL has gross

operating cash flows of Rs7.8 bn and net operating cash flows of Rs7.5 bn with annual

rental run-rate of Rs31 bn. We estimate DCCDL’s EBITDA to grow to Rs42 bn in FY2022E

from an estimated Rs36 bn in FY2020E on the back of commissioning of Cyber Park (2.5

mn sq. ft) and Chennai IT SEZ (0.8 mn sq. ft).

Expansion of rental portfolio to continue to boost earnings

DCCDL currently has an operational portfolio of 30.3 mn sq. ft with anticipated rental run-

rate of Rs38 bn for FY2020. The subsidiary will also add (1) DLF Downtown, Gurgaon with

leasable area of 3 mn sq. ft in Phase 1 (0.3 mn sq. ft pre-leased) to be eventually ramped up

to 11 mn sq. ft., (2) DLF Downtown, Chennai with leasable area of 2 mn sq. ft in Phase 1 to

be expanded to 7 mn sq. ft, and (3) Chennai IT SEZ (0.8 mn sq. ft).

Apart from this, DLF Cyber City, Gurugram has additional development potential of 11.5 mn

sq. ft thus taking total development potential in DCCDL to ~30 mn sq. ft.

Transfer of assets from DLF (Mall of India, Noida and DLF Avenue, Saket) along with

commencement of new assets i.e DLF Cyber Park (~2.5 mn sq. ft) and Chennai IT SEZ is

likely to increase rental income to Rs37 bn in FY2020. We highlight that as per

management, contractual escalation, improved occupancy as well as re-leasing of extant

contracts could add as much as Rs4.6 bn by FY2022 to extant rental income of Rs30 bn.

Other highlights from the earnings call

Management remains confident of achieving sales target of Rs27 bn for FY2020 even as

it faces slowdown in sales of luxury and super-luxury projects. The company witnessed

cancellation of eight units at its Camellias project which were made by fresh sales of four

units in January 2020, however, overall sales for the project are expected to remain

subdued.

DLF net debt increased to Rs48.7 bn on account of interest payout to DCCDL as well

capex for commercial developments. Net debt is expected to remain at the same level in

4QFY20 as well. DLF is planning to monetize its existing land parcels for rental

development by way of JV or new alliances to reduce net debt level to Rs25 bn over the

next 12-24 months. As per management, annuity assets in DLF which provide rentals of

Rs2.5 bn should be able to service its finance cost thereby reducing dependence on cash

flows from development business.

DLF is still on the drawing board for development of its prime land parcel in Tulsiwadi,

Mumbai (2 mn sq. ft). The company could look at either residential or commercial

development on lease/sales basis and may launch any project in 2QFY21. There is no

progress on development of land parcel in Chankya Puri, Delhi.

Capital expenditure for 5 mn sq. ft in DLF Downtown, Gurgaon and Chennai would

require capex of Rs27 bn over the next 2-3 years.

Decline in revenues (including other income) to Rs15.3 bn was on account of a change in

the product mix as well as loss of rental income on account of transfer of assets to

DCCDL.

DCCDL reported rental income of Rs7.6 bn while other income was lower at Rs530 mn

82% yoy) on account of loss of interest income due to settlement of payables by DLF.

DLF reported corporate overhead expenses at Rs2.1 bn are expected to reduce to Rs1.5

bn in 4QFY20.

Ultima, Phase 5 which contributed to major sales for DLF in the past two quarters has a

six month payment schedule which will contribute to collections in 4QFY20 and 1QFY21.

Exceptional item of Rs2.3 bn during the quarter was on account of profit from transfer

of TIBCO, Chennai SEZ to DCCDL.

3QFY20 results: Volume decline impacted the operating performance

Eicher reported 3QFY20 standalone EBITDA of Rs5.95 bn (down 14% yoy), which was 4%

below our estimates. Revenues increased by 1% yoy which was led by 6% yoy decline in

volumes, which was offset by 7% increase in net realizations. Increase in ASPs was primarily

due to the addition of disc brakes and ABS in RE bikes. EBITDA margin came in at 25.2% (-430

bps yoy) led by lower gross margin, higher staff cost and other expenses resulting in negative

operating leverage. Gross profit per vehicle declined by 1% yoy while EBITDA per vehicle

declined by 8.5% yoy. Staff cost declined by 1% yoy while other expenses increased by 7%

yoy. The company reported standalone adjusted net profit of Rs4.9 bn (-2.5% yoy), which was

2% below our estimates. Tax rate stood at 22.9% versus our estimate of 26% in 3QFY20. Due

to a steep slowdown in urban areas, the company is aggressively expanding into the

hinterland as a part of its strategy to make inroads into under-penetrated areas. The

company has opened 500 small format stores by December-end and plans to open 250

more by March 2020 end.

Performance of VECV was weak in 3QFY20 due to volume decline

VECV reported revenues of Rs21.5 bn (-23% yoy) in 3QFY20 due by 27% yoy decline in

volumes. EBITDA margin came in at 6.2% (down 50 bps yoy) mainly due to higher discounting

and negative operating leverage. Hence, Eicher’s share of profits in VECV declined significantly

yoy in 3QFY20 to Rs305 mn (-60% yoy).

Maintain SELL; Compliance costs headwind and demand slowdown lead to margin pressure

The company posted an in-line quarter but sustainability of volume uptick in FY2021 is difficult

in our view. The company also did not reveal any plans to launch a new bike platform,

which could limit volume growth upside in FY2021. However we have increased our

FY2020-22E EPS estimates by 3% led by an increase in other income and lower tax rate.

Maintain SELL and revise fair value to Rs18,700 (from Rs17,000 earlier) as we roll over to

December 2021E.

Eicher Motors (EIM) Automobiles & Components

Volume outlook remains muted. Eicher Motors reported 13% yoy decline in

consolidated EBITDA in 3QFY20 led by weak volume growth and margin pressures in

both VECV and Royal Enfield businesses. Standalone revenues increased 1% yoy led by

6% yoy decline in volumes and 7% yoy increase in ASPs. Significant cost increase and

the economic slowdown led to a decline in RE volumes. We expect volume pressure to

persist in FY2021 due to (1) shift towards BS-VI engines and (2) increase in competitive

intensity. Maintain SELL; FV revised to Rs18,700 (from Rs17,000 earlier).

Exhibit 1: Standalone 3QFY20 EBITDA was 4% below our estimates led by higher-than-expected other expenses Eicher Motors interim results, March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn)

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates

Standalone business: Staff costs decline yoy, protecting margins from sliding

further

Eicher reported 3QFY20 standalone EBITDA of Rs5.95 bn (down 14% yoy), which was 4%

below our estimates. Revenues increased by 1% yoy which was led by 6% yoy decline in

volumes, which was offset by 7% increase in net realizations. Increase in ASPs was primarily

due to addition of disc brakes and ABS in RE bikes and a richer product mix. EBITDA margin

came in at 25.2% (-430 bps yoy) led by lower gross margin, higher staff cost and other

expenses resulting in negative operating leverage. Gross profit per vehicle declined by 1%

yoy while EBITDA per vehicle declined by 8.5% yoy. Staff cost declined by 1% yoy while

other expenses increased by 7% yoy. The company reported standalone adjusted net profit

of Rs4.9 bn (-2.5% yoy), which was 2% below our estimates. Tax rate stood at 22.9%

versus our estimate of 26% in 3QFY20.

Gross margin deteriorated by 370 bps yoy despite the company passing on the increase in

cost plus the margins in 3QFY20. We note that the company’s ASPs have increased by

Rs8,673/bike yoy in 3QFY20 and raw material cost per bike has increased by Rs9,155/bike.

Sequentially, gross margins deteriorated by 370 bps as increase in raw material cost

outpaced increase in ASPs in 3QFY20 as the company did not take any price increases in this

quarter due to a steep slowdown in demand. In our previous notes, we have highlighted

that the company would not be able to sustain its margins in the current scenario of

declining volumes, which got reflected in this quarter.

EBITDA margin continued to remain under pressure. EBITDA margin was below 30% for the

fourth-consecutive quarter led by subdued demand and we expect EBITDA margin to remain

around 23.3% and 24.6% in FY2021E and FY2022E, respectively.

Other key highlights

The company continued to strengthen its presence in international markets. The company

entered South Korea by launching its first exclusive store in Seoul, and also added ten

new stores in Brazil, and one each in Argentina, Indonesia and Vietnam. The company

currently has >48 exclusive outlets currently in export markets and are present in 675

touchpoints in export markets. Export volume was 8,472 units (+150% yoy) in 3QFY20

The total inventory including factory, transit and dealer inventory is two weeks currently.

The company will match wholesale and retail volumes in the next few months till BS6

transition as they don’t want to keep much inventory.

The company has added 500 small format stores by December-end and plans to add 250

more such stores by March 2020 end. The company highlighted that existing dealers will

only add the small format stores through sub-dealers. As per the company, each outlet

will breakeven at 6-8 bikes per month and all dealers have broken even for the stores

launched uptil now. The company also highlighted that 60% of the market for RE brand

is outside the cities and small format stores will help in providing last-mile connectivity

and increase walk-ins.

The company had launched two new 650 cc models – Interceptor and Continental GT in

December 2018. The models have been jointly developed by the company’s tech center in

both UK and Chennai. In the UK, Interceptor 650 has emerged as the highest selling

motorcycle in the ‘Naked Street’ category. The company highlighted that for Twins, 50%

of the customers are RE customers and rest 50% are coming from outside the brand.

Waiting period for the Twins is around 3-4 months.

VECV unveiled India’s first BS VI-compliant CV range with the launch of Eicher Pro 2000

series. Pro 2000 has payload capacity ranging from 2.7 to 14 tons with advanced

telematics features. The company expects to gain market share in the Light Duty

segment.

Other key points: (1) 25% of the demand for RE bikes comes from top-20 cities,

(2) financing proportion of RE bikes went up to 59% in 2QFY20 versus 53-54% earlier,

(3) customer profile for RE bikes: 15% of the customers are first time buyers, 80% of the

customers are upgraders from other brands and remaining 5% of the customer are

upgraders from RE brands itself. The company also highlighted that 33% of the customers

are from the commuter segment (less than 150cc segment), (4) the company reduced 1,800

temporary employees in 2QFY20, and (5) added four new large stores in the past two

quarters increasing its large store count to 940 units.

3QFY20 EBITDA fell 6% yoy led by volume decline

Hero reported 3QFY20 EBITDA of Rs10.4 bn (down 6% yoy), which was 17% above of our

estimates due to higher-than-expected spare part revenues and improvement in gross margins

in 3QFY20. Revenues decreased by 11% yoy led by 14% yoy volume decline due to subdued

industry demand environment and partly due to efforts to correct inventory levels, which was

partly offset by 4% yoy increase in ASPs due to price hikes related to ABS/CBS norms in

3QFY20. EBITDA margin came in at 14.8% (+80 bps yoy and +30 bps qoq), which was 190 bps

above our estimates due to better-than-expected gross margins due to aggressive cost

reduction, raw material cost benefits and a better mix due to higher spare part sales. Gross

margin came in at 33.4% due to (1) savings from LEAP program, (2) softer raw material prices

and (3) some change in inventories of finished goods (+20-30 bps impact). Staff cost increased

by 8% yoy in 3QFY20 while other expenses declined by 9% yoy. The company reported PAT of

Rs8.8 bn (+14.5% yoy), which was 33% higher than our estimates due to a beat at EBITDA

level and lower tax rate. Tax rate for 3QFY20 stood at 13.0% (23.2% tax rate in 9MFY20) as

the company revalued its deferred tax liabilities as per the new corporate tax rate.

Increase our FY2020-21E EPS estimates by 5-6%; Upgrade to REDUCE (from SELL)

We have increased our FY2020-21E EPS estimates by 5-6% led by (1) 6-10% cut in our volume

estimates offset by (2) 100-170 bps improvement in EBITDA margin assumptions. We expect

two-wheeler industry volumes to be weak in FY2021 (-5% yoy decline) due to increase in cost

related to a shift towards BS-VI, which will hurt industry demand. We expect domestic two-

wheeler industry demand to revive only from FY2022 onwards. We are quite impressed by the

company’s ability to cut costs in a challenging environment and we bake in the cost reduction

efforts in our estimates to raise our margin assumptions but we remain concerned on industry

due to steep cost increase due to BS-VI. Upgrade to REDUCE (from SELL earlier) on fair

valuations. We raise our fair value to Rs2,550 (from Rs2,500 earlier), valuing the company at

14X December 2021 core EPS + Rs391 of cash/cash equivalent (includes investment of Rs68 in

Ather Energy and Hero Fincorp).

Hero Motocorp (HMCL) Automobiles & Components

Impressive cost reduction efforts aid margins. Hero MotoCorp’s 3QFY20 EBITDA

declined by 6% led by a steep demand slowdown. The company improved EBITDA

margin by 80 bps yoy in 3QFY20 led by aggressive cost reduction and material cost

reduction benefits. Hero MotoCorp will face headwinds in FY2021 due to (1)

regulatory-driven cost pressures and (2) aggressive pricing strategy by peers. Upgrade to

REDUCE (from SELL) with revised FV of Rs2,550 (from Rs2,500 earlier).

Key takeaways from the conference call

The company indicated that the current dealer inventory levels for BS-IV are around five

weeks. The company expects a couple of tail-winds in the near-term led by (1) good

monsoon due to high reservoir levels which augur well for Rabi sowing and (2) pre-buy in

4QFY20 before implementation of BS-VI compliant vehicles. However, the company

highlighted that the sustained recovery in the domestic two-wheeler industry will take

time. The company also highlighted that wholesale volumes will stay negative yoy in the

near term due to inventory correction.

The company has also launched a few BS-VI models and intends to stop production of

BS-IV models by mid-February. The company indicated they have gone with multipoint

fuel injection technology in BS-VI models while Bajaj Auto has launched electronic

carburetors in the economy segment models. The price difference between the two

models is not much, around Rs1,000-1,500.

Spare revenues for the company stood at Rs8 bn in 3QFY20 versus Rs7.2 bn in 2QFY20 as

against Rs7.3 bn in 3QFY19. Spare part revenues was 11.4% of net sales in 3QFY20

versus 9.5% in 2QFY20.

Overall financing for the company stood at 46% in 3QFY20 versus 37% in 1QFY20.

The company gained 200 bps market share in the domestic motorcycle segment yoy in

3QFY20 due to 590 bps yoy increase in market share in the economy segment.

In 2QFY20, the company had introduced a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) and the

company has considered a provision of Rs601 mn for employees who have accepted to

be part of VRS as exceptional item in 2QFY20 results.

Debtor days for the company had increased by 8 days in 2QFY20 but have come down to

1QFY20 levels in 3QFY20 as per the company. Inventory days for the company have

increased by 3 days and creditor days have gone up by 10 days as on September 30,

2019 from March 2019 levels.

Other key points: (1) The company had taken price hikes of Rs200 per vehicle in July

2019 largely in order to mitigate cost increase, (2) the company has guided for capex of

Rs15 bn in FY2020 (which might be a tad lower) led by capacity expansion in Andhra

Pradesh plant (total capacity of 10 mn vehicles) and R&D cost related to BS-VI engines,

and (3) as per the company, the price increase due to BS-VI is 10-15%.

Results modestly above estimates, reflecting healthy growth in volumes and steady margins

IGL’s EBITDA increased 23% yoy to Rs3.9 bn in 3QFY20, modestly above our estimate, led by

robust 13.4% growth in volumes to 6.7 mcm/d and qoq steady unit EBITDA margins at

Rs6.4/scm. IGL’s net income jumped 43% yoy to Rs2.8 bn (EPS of Rs4.1), 6.5% above our

estimate, boosted by higher other income and lower tax rate at 24.6%. In 9MFY20, IGL

delivered a strong 24-43% jump in EBITDA and adjusted net income (EPS of Rs11.5) led by a

robust 12.6% growth in volumes and 10% increase in unit margins to Rs6.4/scm amid lower

gas prices. Income from associates, CUGL and MNGL, jumped 51% yoy to Rs1.1 bn in 9MFY20,

likely benefiting from a lower tax. IGL incurred capex of ~Rs7.5 bn in 9MFY20; the company

has raised its capex guidance to Rs12 bn in FY2020 and cumulative Rs30 bn over FY2021-22.

Slower growth in CNG volumes offset by uplift in industrial and commercial PNG volumes

IGL’s overall volumes grew by 13.4% yoy to 6.7 mcm/d in 3QFY20 reflecting (1) 9.2% growth

in CNG volumes to 318 mn kgs (~4.9 mcm/d); slowest since 1QFY17 perhaps reflecting a sharp

slowdown in addition to three-wheelers segment and a high base from the previous year, (2)

35% jump in industrial and commercial PNG off-take underpinned by policy-driven shift to

cleaner fuels and (3) 16.4% growth in residential PNG volumes with rising household

connections. Overall PNG volumes grew by 18.7% yoy to 164 mscm (~1.8 mcm/d), while supply

to other CGD entities in Gurugram and Faridabad region declined 1% yoy.

Raise estimates factoring in higher margins; reiterate SELL with revised FV of Rs365

We raise EPS estimates by 4-6% factoring in (1) higher unit EBITDA margins amid reset of PMT

gas price and expected decline in domestic gas price and (2) other minor changes. Our DCF-

based FV increases to Rs365 from Rs320 on higher long-term unit margins and rollover.

Reverse valuation implies 15% CAGR in volumes/EBITDA over next decade ignoring risks

Our reverse valuation exercise suggests that the current stock price is discounting 15% CAGR in

volumes/EBITDA over the next decade and 5% growth in perpetuity. We remain wary on the

incremental opportunity in new license areas, which may require significant capex outlay and

yield lower returns. We also see downside risks to volumes and/or unit margins in the medium

term from (1) progressive changes in regulations to enable competition and (2) accelerated

adoption of EVs in public transport for Delhi. Even as these concerns may take time to impact

earnings, incremental developments may drive de-rating of valuation multiple.

Indraprastha Gas (IGL) Gas Utilities

Robust growth, priced in; rising capex a worry. IGL delivered robust results in

3QFY20, modestly ahead of our expectations, led by 13% growth in volumes and qoq

steady unit margins. Network rollout in new license areas will drive an increase in capex,

which may be returns-dilutive. Our reverse valuation exercise suggests the stock is

already pricing in 15% CAGR in volumes/EBITDA for the next decade. SELL stays, with a

revised DCF-based FV of Rs365 (Rs320 earlier) on higher unit margins and rollover.

3QFY20: EBITDA beat led by lower costs

NMDC reported 3QFY20 revenue of Rs30 bn (-18% yoy, +34% qoq) with volumes at 8.4 mn

tons (-3% yoy, +45% qoq), impacted by lower realizations. Realization of Rs3,575/ton (-15%

yoy, -7% qoq) was impacted by domestic oversupply and weak steel demand. Cost/ton of

Rs1,682/ton declined by 17% qoq (-2% yoy) led by lower other expense due to operational

leverage and lower exports (7.4% of volume mix versus 10.1% in 2QFY20). Reported EBITDA of

Rs15.9 bn (-26% yoy, +50% qoq) or Rs1,892/ton (-24% yoy, +4% qoq) was above our

estimate of Rs15 bn. NMDC has shifted to the new tax regime and reported NPAT of Rs13.8bn

(-13%yoy, +96% qoq) includes deferred tax adjustment of Rs1.5bn. NMDC declared a DPS of

Rs5.29 implying a 50% payout for 9MFY20.

Domestic prices to remain elevated amidst auction led transition in Odisha

We expect majority of the mines put under auction in Odisha to be won by captive producers

who would likely secure more capacity than required. This would tighten the merchant market

and benefit existing miners like NMDC. Odisha government has concluded auction of seven

mines so far and only one mine has been won by a merchant miner. Domestic iron ore prices

during 9MFY20E traded at 20% discount to import parity (see Exhibit 3), versus historic range

of 8-10% discount, mainly due to higher iron ore production in Odisha. However, the balance

changed from January 2020E with restocking demand ahead of auctions. We note that after

two price hikes of total 23% during January 2020, domestic prices are now at 10% discount to

import parity. We expect domestic market to remain tight in FY2021E and see upside risk to

prices.

Maintain ADD with a revised fair value of Rs135 (from Rs140)

NMDC’s Donimalai mine (6 mtpa) remains shut pending state clearances with the case hearing

yet to be concluded at the mines tribunal. We revise our restart expectation from 1QFY21E to

3QFY21E and reduce FY2021E volumes by 2 mn tons. We increase FY2020E EBITDA by 1%

factoring higher prices and cut FY2021E EBITDA by 3% due to lower volumes. NMDC is well

poised for a strong FY2021E with extension on existing mining leases and a tighter market due

to auction led disruption. Higher dividend (50% payout assumption), timely commissioning of

steel plant and divestment or demerger of steel plant provides upside risk.

NMDC (NMDC) Metals & Mining

Strong quarter with dividend bonanza. NMDC’s 3QFY20 EBITDA was 6% higher

than our estimate led by lower costs. Restocking ahead of mines expiry is Odisha has

tightened the domestic market allowing recent price hikes and should keep prices

elevated in FY2021E. The Donimalai mine remains shut awaiting state clearance and we

delay the restart by six months to 2HFY21E in our estimates. We revise EBITDA by

+1%/-3% FY2020/21E, fair value to Rs135 (from Rs140) and maintain ADD.

Lack of clarity compounds poor performance

LPC’s 3QFY20 revenues were 16% lower than estimates primarily due to the de-consolidation

of Kyowa business for the full quarter versus our estimate of 75 days of consolidation.

Adjusting for Kyowa, revenue missed our estimate by 3%. India grew 9% yoy, 2.7% lower

than our expectations. US revenues, at US$186 mn grew US$2 mn qoq (-US$5 vs KIE), as there

was virtually no benefit of winter season stocking for its cephs portfolio. EU was ~10% lower

than our estimate, though RoW had another strong quarter with 20% yoy growth (+4% vs

KIE).

Adjusted for Kyowa divestment, gross profits were 3% lower than our estimates. EBITDA,

however, dropped to Rs4.3 bn, missing our estimates by ~29% (-18% adjusted for Kyowa),

with EBIDTA margin down to 11.4%. While EBITDA was also impacted by lumpiness in SG&A

costs of ~Rs500 mn, even adjusting for this, EBITDA missed estimates by ~9%, as the company

struggled to explain the lack of corresponding overheads reduction of from Kyowa divestment.

LPC chose to match Rs13 bn exceptional gain from Kyowa divestment by impairing Rs15.8 bn

Gavis intangibles (Rs1.7 bn annual reduction in amortization) along with Rs4.1 bn DTA reversal.

Levothyroxine ramp and operating leverage critical to FY2021 EBITDA

The key question for investors is how to forecast FY2021 EBITDA in light of Rs4.5 bn EBITDA

(adjusted for Rs500 mn lumpy costs) in 3QFY20. However, we do see several levers to drive the

EBITDA growth in FY2021, including incremental US$15-20 mn quarterly sales addition from

levothyroxine (15% contracted share with incremental capacities from 4QFY20), which along

with potential US$10-15 mn reduction in Solosec losses, can add Rs5-6 bn in annualized

EBITDA in FY2021. We also see significant room for operating leverage, given expected low

teens revenue growth from ex-US markets in FY2021, and mid-single digit growth in fixed costs

(including R&D), with any meaningful cost reduction program adding to profitability in FY2021

and beyond. Launches of ProAir (1HFY21 re-affirmed), Fostair EU (2HFY21), Enbrel (FY2021),

Suprep (exclusivity in FY2022) and Spiriva (FY2023) should help drive further earnings growth.

Valuations now reasonable, though progress on compliance is key – ADD

In many ways, 3QFY21 was a trough quarter for LPC, though, admittedly, Street will only gain

confidence in the earnings ramp once there is evidence of either operating leverage (led by levo)

or cost cuts visible in EBITDA. We cut FY2021/22 EBITDA by 10% and 7% and EPS by 4-6%.

Valuations remain compelling with the stock trading at 9.5X FY2021 EV/EBITDA at the bottom

of the earnings cycle, with domestic franchise value accounting for bulk of the market cap. ADD.

Lupin (LPC) Pharmaceuticals

Quarter horribilis. On a like-for-like basis, excluding Kyowa, LPC’s revenues missed

estimates by 3%, and EBITDA missed estimates by 18% as SG&A costs remained

elevated, despite Kyowa de-consolidation. However, we see 3QFY20 performance as

reflective of a trough quarter, and heading into FY2021, we expect sharp earnings

recovery, led by operating leverage with 4QFY20 likely to provide visibility on operating

leverage post ramp-up in levothyroxine. ADD.

Robust growth in revenues offset by weakness in margins across key segments except oil palm

Revenues increased 23% yoy to Rs17.8 bn in 3QFY20, 6% above our estimate, driven by robust

growth in animal feeds and recovery in the vegetable oil segment, which was partly offset by a

surprising decline in the crop protection business. EBITDA was flat yoy and 14% below our

estimate at Rs1 bn, with margins declining 130 bps yoy to 5.6% amid rising input costs and

sharp 21-22% jump in employee costs and other expenses. EBIT declined 15% yoy to Rs635

mn, 19% below our estimate, due to a sharp increase in depreciation expense. Adjusted net

income was 12% below our estimate at Rs509 mn (EPS of Rs2.7); however, it jumped 25% yoy

led by (1) reduction in tax rate to 28.2% from 35% in 3QFY19 and (2) lower profits attributed

to minority interest. In 9MFY20, GAVL delivered a healthy 18% growth in revenues; however,

EBITDA and EBIT declined 5% and 18% respectively led by contraction in margins across all

segments except animal feeds. Adjusted net income increased 7% yoy to Rs2 bn (EPS of

Rs10.4), primarily attributed to the reduction in effective tax rate to 25.5%.

Ag-chem declined due to credit controls; healthy growth in animal feed and oil palm volumes

In 3QFY20 conference call, the management indicated—(1) GAVL undertook channel correction

measures in crop protection business to enhance recoveries from debtors, which led to a decline

in revenues contrary to strong growth delivered by other domestic ag-chem players in the Rabi

season, (2) animal feed volumes grew 8% yoy to 1 mn ton and fresh fruit bunch arrivals for oil

palm grew 16% yoy to 530 ktons in 9MFY20, (3) animal feed margins were impacted due to

lower share of aqua feed and internal transfer of ~35 ktons to GTFL at nil margins; excluding

captive sale, EBIT margins were still muted at 4% compared to 4.6-5.5% realized over the past

three quarters, (4) recent sharp rise in oil palm prices may augur well for the next year, as it may

moderate modestly in the season given likely curtailment of global supplies due to Indonesia’s

biodiesel policy, (5) a new backward integration plant is expected to commission by July 2020

and (6) seven crop protection products have been launched in 9MFY20.

Cut FY2020-22 EPS estimates by 2-5%; reiterate sell with a revised FV of Rs470

We cut our consolidated EPS estimates to Rs11.8 (-5%) in FY2020, Rs16.4 (-3%) in FY2021 and

Rs19.9 (-2%) in FY2022, factoring in (1) lower margins for key businesses, (2) higher revenues

for animal feed segment and (3) other minor changes. Our SoTP-based fair value increases to

Rs470 (from Rs450 earlier), as we roll-forward to FY2022 estimates.

Godrej Agrovet (GOAGRO) Fertilizers & Agricultural Chemicals

Weakness persists; reasons change. Godrej Agrovet’s results were below estimates

yet again in 3QFY20, led by weak margins across all segments except oil palm, which

recovered from a blip. GAVL’s valuations remain expensive at 34X on our FY2021 EPS

estimate, which is predicated on a normal environment across business segments—

something not seen over the past several quarters, while resulting in flattish earnings

since FY2017. We reiterate SELL and revise FV to Rs470 (Rs450 earlier) on rollover.

Key highlights from 3QFY20 results

Qoq moderation in margins offsets robust revenue growth in animal feed. Animal

feed revenue grew 32% yoy and 8% qoq reflecting 8% yoy growth in volumes to 350.3

ktons and sharp increase in realizations. EBIT increased 48% yoy but declined 19% qoq

to Rs350 mn, with margins moderating 113 bps qoq to 3.5% amid firm input costs.

Weak performance of crop protection contrary to competition. Crop protection (ex-

Astec) revenues declined 16% yoy and EBIT declined 15% yoy to Rs185 mn with margins

increasing modestly by 20 bps to 20.3%. GAVL’s performance is worrying in the context

of strong growth in revenues and robust improvement in margins delivered by other

domestic ag-chem players during the Rabi season.

Modest growth in Astec’s revenues and EBITDA. Astec’s revenues grew 5% yoy to

Rs1.25 bn and EBITDA increased modestly by 2% yoy to Rs248 mn; the company

attributed weak performance to (1) lower realizations amid higher inputs costs and

(2) deferral of export orders.

Recovery in vegetable oil segment. Oil palm revenues increased 24% yoy led by

(1) higher volumes and (2) realizations. EBIT increased 37% yoy to Rs436 mn, with

margins increasing 177 bps yoy and 722 bps qoq to 19.4%.

Sharp decline in dairy margins. Dairy business revenues increased by 3% yoy, although

the company reported an EBIT loss of Rs7 mn due to increase in procurement costs.

EBITDA loss for Godrej Tyson Foods. GTFL’s revenues increased 24% yoy; however,

the company reported an EBITDA loss of Rs94 mn due to an increase in the cost of live

birds.

Cash collections improve from residential sales; debt remains elevated

Brigade Enterprises reported strong cash collections of Rs7.4 bn (+32% yoy) aided by growth

across business verticals—(1) 31% yoy increase in residential sales, adequately backed by

(2) growth in hospitality (+21% yoy) and (3) leasing business (+23% yoy). Project execution

sustained with construction spend of Rs3.7 bn (-0.5% yoy) for the residential business, coupled

with capex for commercial and hotel business (Rs2 bn) and payment towards land (Rs310 mn)

that offset the benefit of cash collection with negative cash flows of Rs1.6 bn, resulting in

increase in net debt to Rs34.2 bn (Rs28 bn attributable) in 3QFY20.

Consolidated revenues for BRGD declined 20% yoy to Rs5.5 bn yielding an EBITDA of Rs1.6 bn

(-12% yoy) and PAT of Rs405 mn (-33% yoy). Earnings performance was impacted by lower

revenue recognition for the real estate business, even as the other two business verticals

continued to report strong earnings.

Strong sales momentum to help achieve sales target of 4 mn sq. ft in FY2020

On the operational front, BRGD reported sales of 1.1 mn sq. ft (+40% yoy) for a consideration

of Rs6 bn (+35% yoy) yielding an average realization of Rs5,578 per sq. ft. We highlight that

management has set itself a target of 4 mn sq. ft of sales in FY2020 and has achieved sales of

3.23 mn sq. ft (+60% yoy) till 9MFY20. Additionally, the company launched area of 0.92 mn

sq. ft at Brigade Cornerstone Utopia and Brigade El Dorado-Helio.

Real estate segment reported revenues of Rs3.8 bn (-30% yoy) with EBITDA of Rs803 mn (-

33% yoy) yielding reduced margins of 21% in 3QFY20.

Maintain BUY with revised fair value of Rs280/share

We maintain our BUY rating on Brigade with revised fair value of Rs280/share (from

Rs235/share earlier) as we roll forward to March 2022 (from March 2021) based valuation

target. Our fair value comprises (1) residential development at Rs12.1 bn, (2) operational and

under construction lease assets valued at Rs48 bn, (3) hotel portfolio of 1,638 keys valued at

Rs21 bn (Rs9 mn/key), and (4) land bank valued at Rs10.5 bn. Brigade is on a strong ramp-up

phase across business segments, having delivered well across parameters in FY2020E, and the

full benefit of the current growth likely to yield by FY2022E.

Brigade Enterprises (BRGD) Real Estate

Progressing well. Brigade continued with its strong performance in 3QFY20 reporting

a 40% yoy increase in sales volumes at 1.1 mn sq. ft (sales value of Rs6 bn) tracking

ahead of its target of 4 mn sq. ft sales for FY2020. Continued lease momentum with

new leases of 0.9 mn sq. ft in 3QFY20 combined with stabilization of hospitality

portfolio (PBT break-even) helped post a strong quarter. Maintain BUY rating with

revised fair value of Rs280/share (from Rs235/share earlier).

in 3QFY20 with occupancy at 74% yielding average rentals of Rs94 per sq. ft per month in

3QFY20. New area leased during the quarter was at 0.9 mn sq. ft taking the total area pre-

leased in 9MFY20 to 2.24 mn sq. ft (excluding hard option of 0.7 mn sq. ft) –0.7 mn sq. ft

in Brigade Tech Garden and 1.5 mn sq. ft in World Trade Centre, Chennai.

Exit rental from existing operational commercial area of 3.3 mn sq. ft is expected to be at

Rs3 bn while under-construction portfolio of another 5.4 mn sq. ft will add another Rs4.4

bn to rental income by March 2021.

We note that BRGD is currently implementing three commercial projects under various

stages of implementation with a total project cost of Rs20.4 bn, against which capex of

Rs13 bn has already been incurred.

Hotels—moving up the stabilization curve

BRGD reported PBT of Rs4 mn an improvement from negative PBT of Rs98 mn reported in

2QFY20 led by increase in EBITDA margin to 32%. On aggregate basis, ARR for current

hotel portfolio improved 4% qoq to Rs 5,031 in 3QFY20 (Rs 4,834 in 2QFY20) while

occupancy improved from 63% in 2QFY20 to 64% in 3QFY20. We highlight that Four

Points by Sheraton (218 keys) in Kochi improved its occupancy to 35% within a year from its

date of commissioning in January 2019.

In addition, the company also expects to launch two more hotels, Grand Mercure, Gift City

(159 keys) and Ibis Styles, Mysore (151 keys), to be commissioned by 4QFY20 and 1QFY21,

respectively for which an incremental capex of Rs652 mn would be required.

Other highlights from the earnings call

Management highlighted that the company will continue to increase its presence in the

southern markets of Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai and will refrain from entering

MMR and NCR market. As per the company, Bengaluru market continues to grow on a

higher base and on an industry wide basis has seven quarters of unsold inventory.

On divestment of stake in hospitality portfolio, the company has finalized the valuation

with one of the PE players however it is yet to get through legal clauses for the

transaction to be consummated.

While the company had expectations of some demand simulation to be provided in the

affordable housing space, the company will continue to focus its strategy on affordable

housing with 30% of the upcoming launches. Also, the company sees very good market

in mid-income housing as well (Rs6-15 mm).

Contribution in sales for 3QFY20 is as follows—ongoing projects (62%), new launches

(25%) and completed inventory (13%).

3QFY20 results: Bulk drives growth as exim container flattens; margin sustains at ~60% levels

GPPV reported a healthy 4% yoy growth in volumes, all driven by scale-up in bulk (fertilizer)

volumes. Container volumes declined 8% yoy with gateway volumes growing a modest 1%

yoy. This mirrors the flattish yoy market on the west coast. Overall container realizations were

steady qoq, helping sustain ~60% EBITDA margin. Note that the same is a function of a price

increase taken in April 2019 and will get partly negated by higher depreciation once the rail-

front capex (reason for the price hike) reflects in higher depreciation expense. Metrics beyond

volumes are not comparable yoy on account of reversal of volumes rebates that happened in

3QFY19. PAT for the current quarter was boosted by GPPV restating its deferred tax liability as

per the change in the corporate tax rate. It would likely continue with the old tax rate for

FY2021 and utilize the remaining MAT credit; will shift to lower tax rate from FY2022.

Status quo on most other potential developments

On DFCC, the management shared expectation of partial commissioning till Gujarat by

December 2020. Here, PRCL is progressing well to integrate its offering with that of DFC. There

have been no further developments on the concession agreement and the management shared

the absence of red flags in discussions with GMB on this subject. Competitive intensity on the

west coast remains unchanged, helping GPPV sustain realization levels. The management also

shared the absence of pressure from shipping lines to lower realization on account of a lower

tax rate.

Lower FV to Rs118 from Rs124 on ~4% cut in estimates and higher CoE, net of roll forward

We lower our estimates for GPPV for FY2021/22 by ~4% on account of weakness in container

and roro volumes. Increase in FY2020E EPS is more a result of restatement of deferred tax

liability. Estimate revision leads to modest cut in fair value to Rs118 (from Rs124) with benefit of

roll-forward getting negated by higher cost of equity (14% versus 13.5% earlier. Higher cost of

equity is driven by two factors. (1) We note large reliance on the parent for business at 45%

share of container volumes versus 30-35% levels a year back (contribution at a revenue/EBITDA

level would be lower). (2) Global parent’s impetus towards decarbonisation may put at risk

GPPV ending its coal handling business (2-4% of overall volumes at present for GPPV).

Gujarat Pipavav Port (GPPV) Transportation

Mirroring market weakness. GPPV reported a weak container volume print (exim up

1% yoy) with strong performance on bulk volumes yielding a 4% beat versus our

estimates. GPPV maintained status quo on most other variables of relevance (DFC

commissioning by Dec-20, no movement on decision to extend concession, static

competitive intensity). We lower our fair value to Rs118 from Rs124 on account of

weak container volumes and higher cost of equity, net of roll-forward.

Passenger vehicles: lackluster launches by Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai India

Maruti launched the petrol version of BS-VI compliant Brezza in the Auto Expo equipped with a

1.5-litre petrol engine. The new Vitara Brezza comes with a revamped front fascia. Vitara Brezza

facelift gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, driver and co-driver seat belt reminder, rear

parking assist, high-speed warning alert and reverse parking sensors as standard across all

variants. Hyundai also unveiled the second-generation Creta, with different powertrain options

of 1.4 turbo petrol engine, 1.5 litre petrol and diesel engines. The second generation Creta is

expected to be priced under Rs1 mn and is expected to launch by March 2020. Apart from

these models, none of the launches by the top-two players in the domestic market were

exciting. Tata Motors (HBX concept, Gravitas and Aura) and MG Motors (Hector Plus, RC6

Sedan, MG3 premium hatch) showcased a variety of products across segments in Auto Expo.

Competitive intensity to increase in the SUV segment

Compact SUV segment has been consistently outperforming the passenger vehicle over the past

few years. As a result, most of the OEMs are focusing on these segments, which can be seen in

the line-up of Auto Expo 2020. Kia Motors (Seltos X-Trail), MG Motors (Hector plus, HS

compact Crossover), Tata Motors (HBX, Gravitas), Volkswagen (Taigun), Skoda (Karoq) and

Haval (F5) were some of the models unveiled by major OEMs in the SUV segment during Auto

Expo 2020. We believe, this could be a major threat for Maruti Suzuki going forward.

Focus on EVs takes a front seat in both PV and two-wheeler segment

As the global automobile industry is moving towards green mobility, most of the PV OEMs

showcased a bunch of electric and hybrid vehicles during Auto Expo 2020. Maruti Suzuki

showcased Futuro E concept and Swift Hybrid, whereas Tata Motors unveiled Altroz EV.

Mahindra also showcased eXUV300 (will be launched in 2HCY20E) and eKUV100 (most

affordable EV at a price of Rs0.83 mn) during the expo. MG Motors, Kia Motors and Hyundai

also showcased electric vehicles at the expo. Also, in the two-wheeler space, EV theme

continued to dominate. Piaggio unveiled its first electric scooter Vespa Electtrica during the

expo. Also, Hero Electric, Okinawa, Eeve, Bird Electric, Devot Motors and Evolet showcased their

electric portfolio in the expo. However, launches in the traditional two-wheeler space remained

lack luster with only Suzuki Motorcycle and Piaggio showcasing their portfolio in the expo.

Maruti Suzuki needs to fill product gaps in the compact SUV segment

Maruti Suzuki has lost around 1,500 bps market share yoy in the compact SUV segment in

9MFY20. With only one launch in the compact SUV segment by Maruti and competition

becoming more aggressive in this segment, we believe Maruti Suzuki needs to address product

gaps in the compact SUV segment to regain its lost market share.

Automobiles & Components India

Auto Expo 2020: focus on green mobility and SUVs. Overall there were very few

exciting new model launches in 2020 except in the SUV and EV segment. OEMs also

showcased electric vehicle concepts. Key highlights: (1) Maruti launched its BS-VI Brezza

petrol while Hyundai launched second-generation Creta, (2) Tata Motors, MG Motors,

Kia Motors and Haval showcased a few SUV models, (3) M&M, Maruti Suzuki, Tata

Motors and MG Motors unveiled their electric portfolio and (4) launches in 2W were

directed towards electric mobility space and overall lack-luster launches in the

traditional 2W space.

No major launches in traditional 2W space; more focus on EV space

The line-up for two-wheeler models was rather disappointing with Suzuki and Piaggio being

the only player with launches in the tradition two-wheeler space. Suzuki Motorcycle

showcased 23 products during the Auto Expo 2020, which includes the BS-VI editions of the

all New Access 125, Gixxer series, Burgman Street and Intruder. Also, Piaggio unveiled its

premium scooter SXR160 and showcased its electric scooter called Vespa Electtrica.

Emami: Quality asset in East but partially short of clinker

Emami has a total grinding capacity of 8.3 mtpa spread across Bihar (1.3 mtpa), Odisha (2.5

mtpa), Chattisgarh (2.5 mtpa) and West Bengal (2 mtpa). It commissioned its first integrated

unit in Risda, Chattisgarh with a clinker unit of 3.2 mn tons in Dec 2016 backed by limestone

leases expiring in 2059. The company also has mining leases in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.

With availability of fly ash and slag, Emami has high blending ratio with only 20% of OPC

cement sales. At cement clinker ratio of 1.8X, we calculate integrated capacity at 5.6 mtpa and

2.7 mtpa as surplus grinding capacity. Further, we understand that Emami has applied for EC

clearance for brownfield expansion of 3 mtpa clinker and 2.7 mtpa grinding capacity. The

company has the potential to become a 11 mtpa integrated cement company in 2-3 years.

Acquisition at US$120/ton EV is pricey but valuation in line with past deals in sector

The binding agreement for Rs55bn implies an EV of US$120/ton for the integrated 5.6 mtpa

capacity adjusting for the surplus grinding capacity as US$35/ton. The current profitability

suggests a 6% ROCE and would require a 10% price hike in the region to justify a 12% ROCE.

East is the fastest growing market in the country with demand growing at 1.5X industry.

However, a 9% CAGR capacity addition in next three years keeps utilization stable and would

restrict pricing strength. Brownfield expansion should be value accretive however, given high

leverage at Nuvoco (net debt/EBITDA 2.7X in 1HFY20), it might be some time away.

Dalmia – Attractive proxy to play the East consolidation

In the absence of a sizeable pure East play, we see Dalmia Bharat as an attractive proxy with

60% of capacity and ~70% of sales in the East market in FY2021E. The company offers strong

growth visibility with 8 mtpa or 30% addition to capacity over FY2021-22E. Dalmia Bharat is

trading at attractive 7X EV/EBITDA FY2022E or US$64/ton EV, 25% lower than the past five

year average. We have an ADD rating with a fair value of Rs1,050/share.

Construction Materials India

Nuvoco – Enters the top league in East. The Nirma group has emerged victorious in

yet another sizeable M&A battle with a bidding agreement for Emami’s 8.3 mtpa for

Rs55bn. The acquisition at US$120/ton adjusting for surplus grinding is pricey given the

subdued profitability in the East, however in line with past deals in the sector. Nirma

group post acquisition displaces Holcim in the top three club of East and joins Dalmia

and Ultratech. Incumbents would welcome the consolidation in the region as it could

improve pricing discipline in an otherwise fragmented market. Dalmia with strong

growth visibility is an attractive proxy to play the improving East region dynamics.

A longer rope

Extension of DCCO for bank in commercial real estate loans. RBI has decided to permit

extension of date of commencement of commercial operations (DCCO) of project loans for

commercial real estate for delays for reasons beyond the control of promoters, by another

one year without downgrading the asset classification, in line with treatment accorded to

other project loans for the non-infrastructure sector. Detailed instructions are awaited. The

DCCO norms are applicable to banks but we would expect a similar set of relaxations for

HFCs and NBFCs.

A longer rope for stressed developers. We believe that the RBI’s above measure would

provide a longer rope to the real estate sector to complete unfinished projects, in turn

supporting recoveries on real estate loans as well. This should be used as an opportunity by

developers to accelerate project completion and monetize projects, which could in turn

improve recoveries for the lenders. A longer rope however also poses risk of increase in

hoarding and speculation, which, the lenders would need to monitor and control. The

current regulations allow banks to push the DCCO by one year; the above provision will add

one more year to the same. A project stuck for approvals, liquidity or with sluggish sales

poses risk of delinquency post completion of moratorium. An NPL classification by one bank

may have cascading effects. As such, managing liquidity becomes the primary focus of the

developer over acceleration of project completion. The likely aim of the provision is to help

developers focus on the latter.

Debt market may retain cautious stance on select real estate heavy non-banks. We

however believe debt markets will continue to remain cautious on select wholesale-focused

NBFCs after this move. Debt markets has been concerned about the asset quality of the real

estate lending book of NBFCs that reflects low NPLs despite high loan growth in the past

four years, sluggish real estate sales and stuck projects (Exhibit 1). A large proportion of

projects are stuck in moratorium and hence the true asset quality picture is not yet visible.

With increase in the moratorium period for banks (and likely similar set of regulations for

non-banks), the true picture of the quality of book will take longer to emerge. Till this period,

we expect debt market players to remain cautious towards these lenders. On the other hand,

select real estate –focused NBFCs are working on shrinking their loan books, improving

capitalization, liquidity and re-calibrating their business models. These are some of the steps

that may provide comfort to the regulator and other stakeholders, even as the overhang of

the real estate loan book remains.

Diversified Financials India

Two sides of the coin. We believe that the RBI’s decision to permit extension in DCCO

for commercial real estate projects will provide a longer rope to stressed developers and

lenders alike. However, the focus should be on completion and monetization of

projects. Debt markets may however take longer to get comfort on the inherent asset

quality of weak real-estate heavy NBFCs and may remain focused on select larger ones.

This (debt market) consolidation has led to a sharp decline in the funding cost for large

HFCs which will help alleviate concerns on NIM of HFCs, even if RBI norms get tighter.

This will be further augmented by LTROs. HDFC remains our preferred pick in HFCs.

Concerns of competition in retail loans

RBI will review the extant regulatory framework applicable to HFCs and issue revised

regulations, since the sector is now under the purview of the RBI.

RBI has been keen on effective monitory transmission by banks and hence has introduced

base rate, MCLR and recently external-benchmark linked loan pricing for retail loans. HFCs

continue with PLRs and to some extent have differential pricing between new and old

borrowers.

The Street has expressed concerns on RBI nudging to reduce this gap, which could affect

HFC’s NIMs. HFCs have argued that a part of their funding carries fixed rates, banks

borrowings are linked to 1-year MCLR (and not re-priced immediately) and hence there is

some delay in transmitting lower rates to existing borrowings. A market-linked lending

benchmark will nudge HFCs for increasing shorter/market borrowings, exposing them to

vagaries in the bond markets.

The cost of funding for large HFCs like HDFC and LICHF has declined significantly (Exhibits 2

and 3), reflecting consolidation in debt markets. These HFCs are hence competing effectively

with frontline private banks. Introduction of LTRO (explained below) will further bring down

cost of funding for these select non-banks.

Banks – incremental regulations are less likely to spur demand in the near-term

Long term repo operations to reduce the cost of borrowing for borrowers. The RBI

announced 1-year and 3-year tenor LTROs of up to Rs1 tn at the repo rate. While the

details are awaited, prima facie, it provides an arbitrage opportunity for banks to borrow

for 1-year/3-year at the repo rate and invest in higher yielding assets such as GSec,

corporate bonds or forwards. While this may not immediately lead to higher credit

growth, it would reduce the short term borrowing costs for commercial and financial

sector. We would wait to see its impact though a reduction in interest rates helps if

transmission is efficient.

Relaxation of CRR requirements for incremental retail and MSME loans. The RBI

announced that banks will be allowed to deduct the equivalent of incremental credit

disbursed by them as retail loans for automobiles, residential housing and loans to

MSMEs for loans originated between January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020, from their net

demand and time liabilities for maintenance of cash reserve ratio (CRR). We are less

optimistic on the impact, as the reduction in interest rates is unlikely to be meaningful. It

is useful, at the margin, to have lower interest rates but it is one of the many factors to

take loan and buy a product.

External benchmarking of new floating loans to MSME. The external benchmarking

of floating rate loans has been extended to medium enterprises. This, in our view, was

expected considering that RBI had already introduced it for retail loans and micro and

small enterprises. The near term impact should not be too high given that demand for

credit is quite low. We have highlighted the risk of this product in our earlier notes as

well. In the short term, we expect deposit rates to fall for banks while repo rates to hold

at current levels, which implies negligible near term impact, if any.

Extension of one-time restructuring for MSME by a year. The one-time restructuring

scheme for loans to stressed MSMEs was available to MSMEs that were in default but

‘standard’ as on January 1, 2019 with March 31, 2020 as the cut-off date for

implementation. This has now been extended to standard accounts of GST registered

MSMEs that were in default as on January 1, 2020, with a cut-off date of December 31,

2020. The scheme has so far not seen the same level of acceptance as loans that were

restructured in the past given the eventual negative experiences then. We have seen that

banks have offered this product to customers but the level of restructuring is far lower.

Extension of DCCO for commercial real estate. The direct impact for banks is likely to

be negligible as very few banks have direct exposure to commercial real estate. We

expect this to be positive for banks like Yes Bank.

Status quo on repo rate and policy stance

The MPC unanimously kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.15% and stance at ‘accommodative’.

As part of the Developmental and Regulatory Policies, certain bold decisions are of note: (1)

revised liquidity management framework including Long Term Repo Operations (LTRO), and

withdrawal of overnight fixed rate repo and four 14-day term repos every fortnight, (2) CRR

relaxation linked to incremental bank lending to autos, residential housing, and MSMEs, (3)

permit extension of date of commencement of commercial operations of commercial real estate

project loans, delayed for reasons beyond the control of promoters, by another one year

without downgrading asset classification, and (4) extension of one-time restructuring benefit for

MSMEs without an asset classification downgrade.

LTROs and visibility of adequate liquidity provides scope for lower market rates

Along with the revised liquidity management framework (details on next page), the RBI

announced 1-year and 3-year tenor LTROs of Rs1 tn at repo rate. While the details are awaited,

prima facie, it provides an arbitrage opportunity for banks to borrow for 1-year/3-year at the

repo rate and invest in higher yielding assets such as GSec and corporate bonds. While this may

not immediately lead to higher credit growth, it would reduce the short term borrowing costs

for the commercial and financial sector. To provide impetus to credit to select sectors, RBI has

allowed banks to reduce their NDTL for CRR maintenance to the extent of their incremental

retail loans (between January 31 and July 31, 2020) to automobiles, housing and MSMEs. We

expect these measures to aid transmission in lending rates eventually.

RBI MPC revised FY2021 inflation estimate higher, growth estimate marginally lower

The MPC expects food inflation to moderate in the near term but highlighted risks to core

inflation through higher mobile tariff, medicine price increases, and impact of new emission

norms. It revised up its inflation estimates with 4QFY20 CPI inflation at 6.5% (Kotak: 6.6%) and

1HFY21 inflation at 5.4-5.0% (4.0-3.8% earlier) and 3QFY21 inflation at 3.2%, with risks

evenly balanced (same as earlier). The MPC observed that the economy remains weak and the

output gap remains negative. The outlook would be shaped by the impulses from FY2021

budget, agriculture sector, and risks to global growth and trade. The MPC estimates 1HFY21

growth at 5.5-6% (5.9-6.3% earlier), 6.2% in 3QFY21, and 6% for FY2021 (Kotak: 5.5%).

Expect repo rate on hold in near term

Despite weak growth momentum, we maintain our call of a pause in rates in the near term

given that (1) favorable inflation prints (closer to 4%), if any, will be visible only in 3QFY21, and

(2) inflation expectations will be on the higher side given its adaptive nature. Given our GDP

and inflation estimates over the medium term, space for lower rates still remain but a strict

adherence to the inflation targeting framework will restrict an action immediately. However,

status quo on policy rate will, to some extent, be compensated by the liquidity announcements

and comfortable liquidity conditions leading to lower market interest rates.

Economy Monetary Policy

RBI policy: Transmission takes center stage. An expected status quo in repo rate was

offset by unexpected positive liquidity measures. The introduction of LTROs and

assurance to remain accommodative will be positive for short term rates; creating

greater chances of better transmission. With inflation remaining well above the 4%

mark till 1HFY21, we see limited scope for a rate cut in the near term. Liquidity will

continue to shape market rates which will be beneficial for financial/commercial sector.

Revised liquidity management framework (as outlined in the RBI’s Statement on

Developmental and Regulatory Policies)

Following the Internal Working Group’s report on the liquidity management the RBI set out

the key elements of the revised framework as follows (emphasis is added by us):

Liquidity management is the operating procedure of monetary policy; the weighted

average call rate (WACR) will continue to be its operating target.

The liquidity management corridor is retained, with the marginal standing facility (MSF)

rate as its upper bound (ceiling) and the fixed rate reverse repo rate as the lower bound

(floor), with the policy repo rate in the middle of the corridor.

The width of the corridor remains unchanged at 50 basis points – the reverse repo

rate being 25 basis points below the repo rate and the MSF rate 25 basis points above

the repo rate.

With the WACR being the single operating target, the need for specifying a one-sided

target for liquidity provision of one percent of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) does

not arise. Accordingly, the daily fixed rate repo and four 14-day term repos every

fortnight being conducted, at present, are being withdrawn. However, the Reserve

Bank will ensure adequate provision/absorption of liquidity as warranted by underlying

and evolving market conditions - unrestricted by quantitative ceilings - at or around the

policy rate.

Instruments of liquidity management will include fixed and variable rate

repo/reverse repo auctions, outright open market operations (OMOs), forex swaps

and other instruments as may be deployed from time to time to ensure that the system

has adequate liquidity at all times.

A 14-day term repo/reverse repo operation at a variable rate and conducted to

coincide with the cash reserve ratio (CRR) maintenance cycle would be the main

liquidity management tool for managing frictional liquidity requirements.

The main liquidity operation would be supported by fine-tuning operations, overnight

and/or longer, to tide over any unanticipated liquidity changes during the reserve

maintenance period.

In addition, the Reserve Bank will conduct, if needed, longer-term variable rate

repo/reverse repo operations of more than 14 days.

The current requirement of maintaining a minimum of 90 per cent of the

prescribed CRR on a daily basis will continue.

Standalone Primary Dealers (SPDs) would be allowed to participate directly in all overnight

liquidity management operations.

The margin requirements under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) would be reviewed

on a periodic basis; the margin requirement for reverse repo transactions, however,

would continue to be ‘Nil’.

In order to improve communication on the Reserve Bank’s liquidity management

framework and procedures, the following measures are being introduced (1) the Press

Release detailing Money Market Operations (MMO) would be modified suitably to show

both the daily flow impact as well as the stock impact of the Reserve Bank’s liquidity

operations; (2) a quantitative assessment of durable liquidity conditions of the banking

system on a fortnightly basis would be published with a lag of one fortnight; and (3)

periodic consultations will be conducted with market participants and other stakeholders.
