The company was incorporated in Jan 2000 as Orbis Infotech Private Ltd and the name was changed to Indiabulls Financial Services Private Ltd in Mar 2001. In Feb 2004, the company was converted into public limited company and the name was changed to Indiabulls Financial Services Ltd. IBFSL has been one of the fastest growing Financial services company in India over the last decade. In just 10 years of operation, the company has grown its AUM to 4.5 billion USD currently. Most of the growth that the company witnessed until 2008 09 was on back of high levels of unsecured lending and aggressive financing practices. However, with the company gaining experience, size and a strong foothold in Housing finance segment, it is currently in a transitional phase, which will make it a more matured and focused lender and take it to the next level of opportunities. For FY 11, the company reported Dividend per share of Rs. 10 out of the EPS of Rs. 23.8 and we see this as a clear indication of the business making tons of cash.

Key Investment Highlights

Robust Housing finance segment Housing finance industry is deeply under penetrated in India with 7% contribution to the countrys GDP as against 12% for China. A peer group comparison in Asia reveals that India has one of the lowest mortgage to GDP ratio. It is expected that the share of housing in GDP would go up substantially in the coming years. The share of outstanding housing loan as a percentage of GDP has risen from 3.4% in 2001 to 7% currently. Transformation into a Focused mortgage lender Over the last 3 years time period, the company has been undergoing a transformation, wherein it is moving from being a high risk unsecured lender to being a more matured and focused player on mortgage loans. The company has been clearly exiting the highly volatile business segments like personal loans and auto loans and has been concentrating on building a long term and stable asset portfolio. We believe that this transformation will serve as the base for the company to achieve the next level of growth and opportunities. Improving Asset and Liability profile The Asset profile of the company has improved significantly over the last 3 years. The Secured lending % of the total lending has gone up from 72% in FY 08 to 98% in FY 11. Today, mortgages contributed to 71% of the total assets compared to less than 45% 3 years back. In accordance to the changing asset profile and the business focus, the company has been able to modify its liability profile from short term oriented to long term oriented and stable sources. Low gearing support strong growth without equity infusion The gearing ratio at 3.13 times is lower when compared to other listed peers. Most of the peers in the housing finance segment have a gearing ratio of more than 7. This makes IBFSL as one of the better capitalized NBFC s with a very strong balance sheet. The low gearing levels will allow the company to grow for at least another 2 years without any need for equity infusion.

Housing Finance Industry Overview

Institutional Services

Indian Financial Services Sector

There has been a considerable broadening and deepening of the Indian financial markets due to various financial market reforms undertaken by the regulators, the introduction of innovative financial instruments in the recent years and the entry of sophisticated domestic and international players. Sectors such as banking, insurance, asset management and brokerage have been liberalised to allow private sector involvement, which has contributed to the development and modernization of the financial services sector. This is particularly evident in the non-banking financial services sector, such as equities, derivatives and commodities brokerage, residential mortgage and insurance services, where new products and expanding delivery channels have helped these sectors achieve high growth rates. Additionally, India has a large and rapidly growing middle class with increasing levels of discretionary income available for consumption and investment purposes. As investments among Indian consumers increase, the requirement for available credit in India has correspondingly increased. The last five years have seen not only a great expansion of the Indian economy but also a great expansion of consumer lending. Previously, Indian consumers were averse to the concept of using credit to fund purchases and preferred to save prior to spending. Today, with a variety of consumer credit products being widely available, we believe Indian consumers are more willing to acquire assets through borrowing.

Credit growth

Financial year The consumer credit market in India has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade and experienced rapid growth due to consumer credit becoming cheaper, more widely available and increasingly a more acceptable avenue of funding for consumers. Credit availability, affordability and consumer confidence are the key drivers for consumer loan growth. Through the fiscal years 2002 to 2007, the Indian consumer market had experienced over 20% growth year-on-year in consumer loans. Although the growth slowed in fiscal year 2008 due to the unfolding of the global credit crisis, slowing of the economy and rising interest rates in early 2008, India continues to provide opportunities for the growth of consumer credit due to the rise of the Indian middle class. In addition, the younger population not only has more purchasing power, but also is more open to acquire personal debt than previous generations. Improving consumer purchasing power will continue to contribute to the growth of Indias consumer credit market.

Upside for Consumer credit is huge

Despite high loan growth in consumer financing, it remains an underpenetrated market. We believe demand for consumer loans will increase going forward in view of household gearing remaining low and disposable income continues to rise rapidly. The market has changed dramatically due to the following factors Increased focus by banks and financial institutions on consumer credit resulting in a market shift towards regulated players from unregulated moneylenders/financiers Increasing desire by customers to acquire assets such as cars, goods and houses on credit; Fast emerging middle class and growing number of households in our target segment; Improved terms of credit as interest rates in India fall into line with global interest rates and further reduced interest rates for sophisticated products; Legislative changes that offer greater protection to lenders against fraud and potential default increasing the incentive to lend.

Housing Finance sector in India

Indias robust economic growth and the resultant increase in incomes are speeding up the pace of urbanisation. This, along with the increasing availability of housing finance, has led to a housing boom in the past few years. The housing shortage, however, continues to remain acute and as per the estimate of the Technical Committee constituted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, the total housing shortage in urban India at the end of the 10th Five Year Plan (2002 - 2007) is estimated at 24.71 million dwelling units and this will further go up to 26.53 million dwelling units by the end of the 11th Five Year Plan (2007 - 2012). Driven by low interest rates and economic growth, the Indian housing market boomed over 2006 and 2007 and the total home loan approvals and disbursements increased significantly over the last few years. According to the National Housing Bank, annual housing loans disbursed by NBFCs increased from Rs. 32.9 billion in fiscal 2003 to Rs. 90.3 billion in fiscal 2008 representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 29 per cent. Total loans outstanding increased from Rs. 82.8 billion to Rs. 176.7 billion for the same period at a CAGR of 21 per cent. Improved tax rebates on home loans, lowering of real estate prices to affordable levels and slashing of interest rates on home loans have resulted in growth of this sector. The weakened economic situation in 2008 led to a simultaneous weakening in mortgages as consumers refused to make large financial commitment in the face of a global economic crisis. However, as per a report by the Housing Development Finance Corporation, homebuyers are once again coming into the markets in larger numbers.

Population growth and Housing shortage

Indias population is estimated to grow to 1.2 bn by 2012E from 1.1 bn at present. The biggest increase is expected to be within the 24-54 years age group. Consequently, Indias working population will increase which will propel housing demand. There is an acute shortage of housing supply in the country especially in the mid income and low-income categories. Housing supply has been mainly concentrated towards the premium category, resulting in a shortage of affordable housing. According to the estimates made by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation for assessment of the urban housing shortage at the end of the 10th Five Year Plan, the total housing shortage in the country is 24.71 mn units. Housing shortage is likely to go up to 26.53 mn units during the 11th Five Year Plan i.e. 2007-2012E

Institutional Services

Urbanization and increasing affordability

Growing employment opportunities in the urban areas has been the key trigger behind the migration of workforce from rural areas to urban areas. The growth in Indias urban population is more than twice the growth in the rural population. The urban population has increased steadily in the past and accounted for approximately 28% of the total population in 2006 and is expected to account for approximately 32% of the total population by 2012E. Thus, with increasing urbanisation, housing demand (on a per household basis) is expected to increase going forward. Urban & rural household with annual incomes exceeding `0.5 mn are expected to grow by 12% & 7% respectively in the next 5 years. The growth rate, though comparatively lower than the average over the past five years, reflects an overall increase in affluence in both urban and rural households as more families move into higher income brackets. The above graph shows the increase in affordability (calculated by dividing property costs by annual income) over the last 15 years.

Positive loan mix and Strong credit ratings

77% of the borrowings of the company are at fixed interest rates and more than 80% of the lending is at floating interest rate. While there is exactly no loan with a fixed interest rate, the interest rate revision is not as frequent and as fast as in a floating interest rate loan. This favorable loan mix of the company puts it in a comfortable position in a rising interest rate scenario to pass on any rise in credit cost to the customer without taking a hit on its borrowing. Going forward, the company plans to increase its share of the floating loans that it provides. IBFSL is one of the very few NBFC s with top notch ratings from all of the credit rating agencies. This is mainly due to the strong business growth of the company with its focus on relatively safer asset class of mortgage loans.

For its long term borrowings, the company has a rating of AA + from CARE and AA from ICRA and CRISIL.

Over the last 3 years time period, the company has been undergoing a transformation, where it is moving from being a high risk unsecured lender to being a more matured and focused player on mortgage loans. The company has been clearly exiting the highly volatile business segments like personal loans and auto loans and has been concentrating on building a long term and stable asset portfolio. The company has managed to grow its AUM, six times from around Rs. 3000 crore in FY 07 to more than Rs. 19,000 Crore at the end of FY 11, in spite of exiting various business segments and demerging units like real estate and stock broking. Currently, the company is identified as a Home loan provider with a presence in CV financing and this is the way, we expect the company to grow going forward. While the company had prior goals of becoming a secured lender, it was the financial crisis and the liquidity crunch in 2008 which made the company rethink its business strategies. We believe that this transformation will serve as the base for the company to achieve the next level of growth and opportunities.

Institutional Services

Improving Asset profile

Long term and low risk mortgage loans constitute 71% of the asset book. The unsecured personal loan portfolio, which the company had in FY 10 was closed and the book ran off in Q2 of FY 12. The only other unsecured lending that the company is engaged in currently is the Business loans segment and we expect the company to exit this segment in the next 2 years time period. We expect the focus to be on Mortgage loans and Commercial vehicle loans going forward. We expect the CV loans to grow in size and this segment will contribute for 10% of the total assets in the next 2 years time period. Going forward, the long term asset profile of the company is expected to be made of Mortgage loans for 70%, Corporate loans for 20% and Commercial vehicle loans for 10%.

Institutional Services

Improving Liability profile

There has been a remarkable improvement in the liability profile of the company over the last 3 years. It can be seen from the above that precrisis, the company was heavily dependant on short term borrowing like commercial paper and other sources including Mutual funds. These short term borrowings usually demand a higher interest rate and the duration is less than a year. High reliability on short term borrowing for financing long term assets will result in Asset Liability mismatch. Taking a leaf out of the financial crisis experience and acting in accordance to the changing asset profile of the company towards long term mortgage loans, IBFSL has done a commendable job in transforming its liability profile in just 2 to 3 years. The liability profile of the company today contains a majority of Bank loans (duration of 7 to 10 years) and Bonds (duration of 3 to 5 years). Going forward, we expect more bond issues by the company taking the contribution from bonds to closer to 30%.

AUM in Rs. Cr

On the back of a strong and steady demand for Home loan products, the company has seen a sustainable growth in its AUM over the last 4 quarters. The average growth for the last 4 quarters has been Rs. 2,200 Crore. We believe that the strong focus on Home loans and the aim to double the CV loan book will help the company to post a strong growth in FY 12 as well. We expect that the average AUM growth for the next 4 quarters to be in the range of Rs. 2,200 Crore to Rs. 2,500 Crore. We expect around 37% growth in the AUM for FY 12 and we expect the total AUM to stand around Rs. 27,120 Crore at the end of FY 12.

Institutional Services

Focus on mortgages to reduce NPA s and the Provisions

As low risk mortgage portfolio increased as a part of the total AUM, the NPA s have been continuously reducing over the last 6 quarters. Incrementally, we expect delinquencies to fall as the Asset profile becomes more long term oriented and safer. As a result of the falling NPA s, the provisioning has come down significantly from Rs. 261 Crore in FY 10 to Rs. 180 Crore in FY 11. We expect the NPA s to tend lower in FY 12, thereby resulting in lower provision expense and higher net earnings. Total Provisions currently stand at 4.19 times the regulatory requirements.

Institutional Services

Low gearing supports strong growth without equity infusion

The gearing ratio at 3.13 times is lower when compared to other listed peers. Most of the peers in the housing finance segment have a gearing ratio of more than 7. This makes IBFSL as one of the better capitalized NBFC s with a very strong balance sheet. The low gearing levels will allow the company to grow for at least another 2 years without any need for equity infusion.

IBFSL being a diversified lender with a major focus on Home loans (70% of Assets) does not have a strict peer. However, shown above are the closer peers operating in Home loans and CV financing segments, with which a reasonable comparison can be made. It can be seen from the above that IBFSL, in spite of having a strong ROA is trading at a significant discount to its peers. The P/B of close to 1 is very cheap and provides an attractive investment opportunity. The return ratios on equity is lower when compared to other peers mainly due to the lower leverage of the company. As the leverage goes up over the next 1 to 2 years, we expect ROE to cross 20% in FY 12. Taking the strong growth prospects and higher ROA into account, we believe that IBFSL should easily command a P/B of at least 1.5 and P/E ratio of at least 8 on the FY 12E earnings.

Price charts

Shown above is the 1 year price chart of IBFSL. The charts suggest that there is a very strong support at 130 levels, which has been successfully tested several times over the last 1 year. We believe that the downside is highly capped at 130 levels. On the upper side, though what we see is 240, which is the 1 year highs, it should be noted that IBFSL quoted at Rs. 1000 in Jan 2008 before the market crash, on back of higher valuation and very high double digit growth rates. We believe that at the current levels, the downside seems to be capped and very low and the upside potential for the counter is significant. It looks even more better, taking the dividend yield of more than 6% into consideration. Hence we believe that a substantial investment can be made safely at the current levels.

Institutional Services

Conclusion
We believe that the dynamics of the housing finance sector is strong and large, which augers well for the growth of Indiabulls Financial Services Ltd. Take the case of HDFC Ltd, the largest player in the Housing finance segment for example. It has a loan book of more than 25 billion USD (more than 5 times that of IBFSL) and a market cap of 22 billion USD (22 times that of IBFSL). Simply, the market size and the business potential on the upside is huge. IBFSL, which was started in 2000, with highly talented and educated entrepreneurs and with the support of LN Mittal and easy availability of funds, has come a long way since then. The first phase of the growth story was between 2002 and 2008, when the company concentrated on aggressive growth and expansion, providing various financial services and high yielding risky products. However, with the financial crisis and liquidity crunch in 2008 and 2009, the company had to learn a lesson and hive off the short term lending practices, move out of unsecured lending, stop the risky products and move towards a long term and a sustainable business practice. This transformation lead to company concentrating on mortgage loans and today IBFSL is known as a Home loan provider with a presence in CV financing. It is this transformation that we are betting on and we believe that it would serve as the base for the company to achieve a robust growth for several years to come. We expect IBFSL to grow its assets by close to 37% in FY 12 and to grow its Interest income by more than 33% in the same period. We believe that this would lead to an earnings growth of 27% 30%% in FY 12. The company is currently available at a very attractive P/B valuation of 1.05 and a 1 year forward P/E of 5. Considering the strong growth prospects of the company along with a 6% dividend yield, higher ROA and a increasing ROE, we believe that the counter can easily trade at a P/B valuation of 1.5 times and command a P/E of 8 times on FY 12E earnings. Assuming a Target P/B of more than 1.6 and assuming a Target P/E of 8 times FY 12E earnings, we recommend a BUY on the counter, with a Target price range of Rs 246, for a investment period of less than 12 months.
