Making sense of the stress

Global Markets Research

Stress discounted for private banks; sensitivity


indicates need to remain selective on PSUs

16 September 2015

INR6tn of unrecognised stress Sensitivity analysis


Large unrecognised exposure to stressed metals/infra and other corporates
remains a key investor concern and 5:25 refinancing is providing leeway to
delay recognition and impact on the P&Ls. In this report, we undertake a
analysis of the ultimate loss given default (LGD) relating to these stressed
names and ascertain what is and is not priced in for banks.
We estimate that some INR6tn in stressed assets at metals (INR1.4tn) and
infra SPVs (INR2tn) and infra conglomerates (INR1.6tn) and large
corporates/real estate (INR1tn) is yet to be recognised as impaired, which is
equal to 75% of current systems NPA+restructuring.
We estimate 15-20% of these loans have already been pushed out using
5:25 refinancing and more will likely follow. Thus, we believe adjusting bank
books for the ultimate LGD best assesses the potential impact.
Our LGD assumptions vary from 0% for hydro power and airports to 20-30%
for coal power assets, and a much higher 40-60% for gas power, overseas
coal, steel and infra conglomerate parent debt. Overall, an LGD of ~30%
implies a INR1.7tn hit to banks on these assets.

Large asset quality risks across


metals and infrastructure
conglomerates and corporates
have yet to be recognized. Our
exposure analysis indicates the
risk seems to be priced in for
private corporate banks, but
adjusted valuations for PSUs are
not cheap. Investors need to
remain selective on PSUs.

Anchor themes

How are banks relatively placed?


While there is exposure to stressed non-infra loans, private corporate banks
and PSU banks have similar exposure to large metal/infra names.
We estimate an LGD of 15-23% of net worth for corporate private banks.
ICICIs LGD is higher at ~23% of net worth due to its higher overseas coal
and JPA exposure. LGD for Axis/Yes is lower at 15-18% of net worth.
LGD for PSU banks in these accounts is 15-30% of net worth. BOB is best
placed with LGD of 13%, while PNB and BOI are worst placed. SBI parent is
better placed, but including subs its exposure is only marginally better.

Nomura vs consensus
We are 5-6% below consensus
on FY16/17F PAT estimates.

Risk discounted in private banks: stay selective on PSUs


For private corporate banks, valuations adjusted for stressed loans are 1015% below mean valuations; hence the concerns seem priced in. ICICI's
higher exposure vs Axis/Yes is reflected in a ~20% discount.
For PSUs, the book adjustment is much larger at 30-55% with a 15-25% hit
from these accounts and a 15-30% book hit from higher coverage on NPA
and restructuring. Adjusting the stress, PSU valuations are not cheap. We
see a need to remain selective and prefer SBI and avoid PNB/BOI.
With the recent correction, we think private banks, especially Axis and ICICI,
offer a good entry opportunity and are our top pick along with HDFCB.

Investment summary
While many stressed names have been recognised in the past two to three years, we
believe that some of the larger stressed metal/infra special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and
corporates have yet to be recognised. While the government is trying to resolve project
bottlenecks, weak balance sheets plague many infra conglomerates plus the commodity
downcycle will likely delay the expected recovery in asset quality. That said, in the near
term we expect banks to likely opt to manage some of these accounts through the 5:25
refinancing provided by the regulator. We believe some of these companies have
unsustainable debt levels and so the banks will likely eventually need to take a hit on
these accounts. In this report, we have done our best to estimate:
The part of the stress still not recognised We believe there could be INR6tn of
debt not recognised as NPAs or restructuring. This is 75% of current system NPA and
restructured book.
Loss given default (LGD) While asset classes will differ significantly in ultimate
LGDs, overall we estimate a ~30% LGD in these accounts.
Bank exposure We look at MCA data to find bank exposure to these assets, which
show that private corporate banks have similar exposure as PSU banks.
Bank-wise LGD and how valuations stack after factoring these hits: For private
banks, we estimate the impact to their net worth at 15-25%. For PSUs, the LGD is not
very different (20-25% of net worth), but overall book adjustments will be larger when
factoring in high provisioning for NPAs and restructured loans.
Overall, we expect an elongated credit cost cycle. Private corporate bank
valuations adjusted for the stress are below long-term averages; hence we are
positive on Axis and ICICI particularly following the recent correction. For PSUs,
adjusted valuations are not attractive, so we remain selective, with SBI as our
preferred pick.

averages, indicating that the potential stress is not fully priced in

Current stress may not be felt by P&Ls soon


No material resolution of large asset quality risks: The current government has been
taking steps to improve the investment climate and remove roadblocks to projects across
the value chain, but what we see is that still large risks in Infrastructure SPVs and
conglomerates, metals and now also SEBs remains for the banking system. For metals,
the outlook has deteriorated in the last 12 months given the fall in global commodity
prices and in Infrastructure weak promoter company balance sheets remain a key issue
and leverage ratios of most of the Infra conglomerates has only deteriorated.
1)

Infra conglomerates: Financial position has deteriorated: Interest coverage has


dropped to 0.7x in FY15 from 0.9x in FY14 and debt/equity is up to ~16.5x from
14.5x in FY14. While there has been some success in selling down assets by these
Infra conglomerates, sales are largely of cash generating assets and also
improvement in some of their stressed assets is slower than expected.

Commodity names: Could lead to high a LGD: the global commodity downcycle
is having significant impact on the profitability of most metal companies. In a lowprice commodity regime, longer-term losses given defaults could be high in some of
these names.

Infra SPVs (ex conglomerates): Project-level issues remain on gas plants and
even profitability of coal power plants is a worry after the auctions as pointed out by
IDFC in their 1Q16 results conference call (the company having increased its own
LGD assumptions). Some independent power producer-run power plants will not be
able to receive any balance sheet support from parent.

Slippage from restructured books: For PSUs, we have highlighted that relapse
risk remains very high, which will keep credit costs elevated in our view. Slippage
from restructured books has increased to ~30% of total slippages in FY15 compared
to ~15% in FY13/14.

SEB debt: Restructuring related moratorium coming to an end. While SEB debt
carries some sovereign guarantee and is unlikely to become an NPA any time soon,
we believe that a large part of this debt is exiting its moratorium in FY16 and, given
the weak financials of these SEBs, the Reserve bank of India (RBI) may have to
give an exception to prevent these SEBs from becoming NPAs.

But these stresses may not affect P&Ls in the near term the 5:25 leeway
While our interest coverage analysis indicates stability in overall interest coverage for
corporate India, the assets above have seen a deterioration in their debt servicing that
are large relative to the size of the current stressed book (NPA + restructured book).
While this would imply that incremental stress in the next 12-18 months should not ebb,
the RBIs leeway given to refinance (5:25 restructuring), provides a way to push out
these asset-quality worries for the time being. This will likely shield banks P&Ls in the
interim as well.
Since large part of the stressed book can be re-financed and the P&L in the near
term will not reflect the real asset quality challenges, we believe running
sensitivity on this exposure for their ultimate LGDs is the best way to factor in the
relative stress for banks.

What we consider in our sensitivity and our rationale for loss


given defaults across segments
The list is INR6trn 75% of banking systems current stressed book (NPAs +
restructured book): We have included debts of ~INR1.4trn form steel; INR1.5trn from
four Infra conglomerates; INR2.0trn from Infra SPVs (ex-Infra conglomerates) and
INR1.0trn from some stressed corporates including some real estate names. This
aggregates to INR6trn and equates to 75% of the FY15 system stressed loans
(Gross NPAs + Restructuring).
We believe this set of exposure largely represents the possible stress remaining to be
recognised for the banking system, and that a large part of it is eligible for 5:25 refinancing and so may not affect P&Ls for now. While we have tried to exclude exposure
that is already part of the restructured book for banks, there may be some overlap but we
believe this to be negligible given the scale of the numbers involved (please see
Appendix 1 for details on what has been included in our stressed list for sensitivity).

Assessing loss given default (LGD) in different asset classes: As discussed above
we thus think that adjusting book value of banks for loss given defaults in this stressed
accounts would be the best adjustment to determine what is priced in and what is not.

Sector

LGD %

Rationale

Airports

0.0%

4 major airports run by GVK/GMR w hose B/S look stretched but its airports assets are
making money and hence can be disposed off even if parent B/S remains stretched

Pow er - Hydro

0.0%

Barring 1-2 hydro assets, most assets are able to service interest - even in case of JPA's
sale of Hydro assets the sale is happening at Equity value of +1x

Divestments

0.0%

Some assets have been divested or process of being divested to better B/S companies and
hence w e assume no w rite-off in those cases

Roads

15.0%

Write offs low as most assets don't have any linkage/ raw material issues like pow er plants Low er interest rates should aid profitability as w ell

Real Estate

15.0%

No large defaults as yet but low real estate volumes a concern - LGD low because of
collateral of property

Pow er - Coal

20.0%

Improving coal availability a positive in the long run but project over-runs and now no pass
through of auction coal cost is an issue - IDFC inched up their LGD expectation from coal
pow er plants recently

Corporates ex-Steel

20.0%

Past LGD for Indian banks is ~40-45% - We assume low er slippages as some corporates
w ill be able to divest or w ould benefit from a recovery

Pow er -Coal - IPPs

30.0%

Higher LGD v/s other coal assets as parent B/S support could be low er in these cases

Steel

40.0%

Longer term debt of some of the steel names like Essar/Bhushan looks unsustainable
w ithout considering a commodity boom again.

Infra Conglomerate - Parent

50.0%

Infra conglomerate parent B/S funding used for cost over-runs, equity funding and hence
asset backing is low er and hence w e assume high Loss given default here.

Pow er - Coal international

60.0%

Most coal acquisitions happened in commodity boom time and asset values have come off
significantly since then. Also debt funding required to scale up and optimise production here
looks difficult to tie-up

Pow er - Gas

60.0%

Near term w e don't see a solution to the gas assets - Govt's solution of pooling gas can
meet only a very small part of interest obligations

We arrive at a LGD of ~30% of this INR6trn of stresses exposure


Based on our above assumptions, on a system level we arrive at a total LGD of ~3035% of the accounts mentioned above, aggregating to a ~INR2trn impact on banks and
non-bank financial companies (NBFCs) from these accounts.
The 30% LGD ratio is lower than the 40-50% Indian banks have faced in the past due
to: 1) the long gestation of these stressed assets (mostly Infra); and 2) divestments that
will reduce the risk profile of some of these assets.
The 30% LGD is not significantly different from the provisioning IDFC has talked about.
Of its ~16% of stressed exposure, there is 2% of equity exposure and ~3.0-3.5% of gas
exposure where write-offs will be larger. Adjusting for these higher LGD, IDFCs
assumed LGD is ~35-40% against 30% in our analysis.
Fig. 20: We arrive at an LGD of ~INR1.7trn in these stressed accounts over time

Private Banks discounting the hit; need to remain selective


on PSU banks
We start with a caveat: We base our bank-wise exposure and LGD analysis on detail of
the exposure provided by the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA). While the MCA
reasonably captures consortium-lending exposures, we may miss bilateral exposure
taken by some banks given separate fixed asset charges filed for each of these lendings.
However, overall in the past, the quantum and magnitude of exposure as provided by the
MCA has been not too different from actual bank exposure so analysis based on this
data is useful, in our view.
Exposure analysis to the above names and key observations:
Exposure to some of the Metal/Infra conglomerate names is not dramatically different
between PSU banks and private corporate banks like ICICI/Axis/Yes bank Gross
NPAs + restructuring of Axis/ICICI/Yes is 50-60% lower than PSU banks but their
exposure to the above mentioned assets is only 10-15% lower (as % of net worth) and
LGDs are 5-10% lower (as % of their net worth).
Within the private banks, ICICI Bank has the highest exposure according to the data.
The biggest difference is ICICI Banks large international coal exposure and high
exposure to the JPA group. Excluding these assets, exposure of ICICI Bank is similar
to Axis Bank and Yes Bank.
Among our covered retail banks, their exposure to these stressed names is <0.5% in
the case of HDFCB and Kotak and ING Vysya Bank. IndusInd Banks exposure is also
negligible at ~1% of loans, part of which could have been recognised when it sold down
assets to ARCs (asset reconstruction companies).
Within PSU banks, BOB clearly stacks up as the best, and PNB the worst. For SBI,
exposure of its subsidiaries is higher in these accounts than the parent. Union and BOI
are middle of the pack, but on a relative basis Union is better placed than BOI.
Among non-covered PSU banks, IDBI/ United and UCO are worst placed.
Within NBFCs, IDFCs exposure is similar to the high stressed book disclosure that
IDFC made while IDFC has provided for this in terms of credit cost, the interest
reversal impact of this may be large, in our view.

is not very different

How does it all stack up: Corporate banks factoring in the hit,
still need to be selective on PSUs
We highlight that some the stress identified above will likely impact bank P&Ls in the
long run. We thus adjust book values for the stress already recognised (NPAs +
restructuring) and the stress that remains largely as yet unrecognised.
For NPAs, we increase coverage to ~70% mostly PSUs affected.
For restructured accounts We estimate that ~20% of restructured accounts ex-Air
India and SEBs have turned bad, and we further take a ~20% charge in the
restructured book mostly PSU banks affected again due to high level of restructuring.
SEB exposure While these accounts are less likely to turn bad, we believe there
could be NPV losses and hence take a 15% credit charge on SEB exposures here
also it is mainly PSU banks that are affected.
For unrecognised stress We take our LGD estimate as credit charges that banks
will have to take here the effect is felt by both private and PSU banks.
Key observations:
Corporate private banks: The book impact is between 13-22% of their banking net
worth. The impact is lower for Axis and Yes Bank at 12-13% of their net worth as their
exposure to the unrecognised names is lower than that of ICICI Bank (22%).
PSU banks: The book impact for PSU banks is much higher at 30-55% of their net
worth. In the case of PSU banks >50% of the book effect is from write-downs from
already recognised stress (NPAs + restructuring).
Among PSU banks, the book adjustment is least for BOB and SBI at ~30% of their net
worth, where it is highest for PNB/BOI at ~55%.
For retail private banks, the book adjustment required is negligible at <1% of their net
worth. This was one of the reasons for our recent upgrade of Kotak Bank; the stock
came off ~20% lower after the recent correction.

Valuations discount most of the pain for corporate private banks; our sensitivity
suggests a need to remain selective on PSUs:
Corporate banks pricing in the stress
Adjusted for the stress, current valuations of corporate private banks are at a 5-10%
discount to their long-term averages and hence we believe the stress is discounted in
current stock prices, assuming our LGD estimates are accurate.
Our revised TPs imply multiples ~5-10% higher than average long-term multiples for
corporate private banks, mainly because of granularity that the corporate banks have
built in their liability and asset franchise over the last five to seven years.
PSU banks remain selective
While PSU banks are trading at deep discounts of 40-70% to their long-term average
multiples, adjusted for their stress, valuations are trading just below the long-term
average in a few cases and at average valuations in others.
Our revised TPs imply multiples closer to their long-term averages. Since upside in
PSU banks after factoring in the stress is lower, investors need to be selective.
SBI is our preferred PSU pick (trading at 12% below its long-term average multiples).
PNB/BOI (Neutral) remains our least preferred picks, despite their low multiples.

16 September 2015

Sector view: Positive on private banks; still remain selective


on PSUs:
We revise down (by 5-10%) our target prices for corporate private banks and PSUs to
adjust for the potential stress from accounts not yet recognised.
For corporate private banks we see highest upsides for Axis and ICICI Bank (~30%
upside) to our new TP. While near-term asset quality challenges remain, we believe the
market is factoring in the complete risk as valuations adjusted for stress are 5-10%
lower than long-term averages.
We continue to remain positive on most retail banks. We recently also upgraded Kotak
given the ~20% correction in stock price. Our order of preference is: HDFCB > Kotak >
IndusInd.
While PSU banks are down 25-50% YTD, we still believe investors need to remain
selective. Adjusted for stress levels, SBI is our preferred choice, but for a recovery
theme Axis and ICICI Bank are preferred over the PSUs.
We have factored in the credit cost impact for banks stemming from these as yet
unrecognised stressed names. Provisions on these will also have an impact on net
interest income (NII) which will depend upon the timing of the recognition, and that
remains difficult to predict we provide below a sensitivity of profitability for banks due
to the NII impact of higher stress.
Overall Axis/ICICI/HDFCB is our top pick currently. Within corporate private
banks we prefer Axis/ICICI over Yes bank. Within retail private banks we prefer
HDFCBB over Kotak/IIB. We currently have a BUY on all six private banks we
cover. Within PSU banks, SBI is our preferred pick and we would continue to
avoid PNB/BOI.

Axis Bank AXBK.NS

AXSB IN

EQUITY: BANKS

Remains preferred private bank

Global Markets Research

Relatively lower exposure to stressed names

16 September 2015
Rating
Remains

Action: Stress discounted in the price


Axis Bank remains our preferred private corporate bank for its improving
granularity in assets/liabilities, better growth, and relatively lower exposure in
large stressed names. Our sensitivity indicates a loss given default (LGD) of
11% of the banks FY17 net worth, vs 15-30% for peers. We thus think the
recent ~20-25% correction offers a good opportunity to buy Axis Bank. We
maintain our Buy rating with a revised TP of INR625/share.
Stress test outcome: We estimate a loss given default of INR68bn for Axis
Bank in these stressed accounts, which is ~11% of its FY17F net worth. In
this regard, Axis is better placed than peers, where we estimate a LGD of
13-22% of FY17F net worth. Axis has less exposure in infra conglomerates
than ICICI Bank, and less exposure to stressed metal names and ex-infra
corporates than PSU banks. Also, unlike most other private corporate
banks, Axis has ~INR12.5bn in floating provisions stock, which is about
20% of our estimate of its LGD in these accounts.
Structural improvement in B/S continues and better placed on growth:
1) Axis Banks granularity of assets (more retail), liabilities (higher CASA+
retail term deposit ratio), and fees (increase in retail fee share) has been
improving, aiding overall profitability and lowering the business risk profile,
while CASA momentum has moderated in the past 12-15 months; 2) Axis
will likely continue to deliver better mix of growth given the increase in its
retail mix and lower overseas book mix than most corporate banks.

Multiples reasonable now adjusted for the stress; maintain Buy


Axis Bank shares are trading at 1.95x FY17F book and look reasonable when
adjusted for our stress test valuation at 2.2x FY17F book (~10-15% discount
to FY04-07 multiple). Hence, we maintain Buy. While growth will certainly lag
the FY04-07 period, Axis Banks profitability has improved significantly to
offset the impact of slower growth. We marginally revise our earnings down by
2-4% and our TP by 6% to factor in part of the impact from our stress test.

Valuation: Axis Bank shares are trading at 1.95x FY17F book and look reasonable
when adjusted for our stress test valuation at 2.2x FY17F book (~10-15% discount to
FY04-07 multiple). Hence, we maintain Buy. While growth will certainly lag the FY04-07
period, Axis Banks profitability has improved significantly to offset the impact of slower
growth. We marginally revise our earnings down by 2-4% and our TP by 6% to factor in
part of the impact from our stress test.
Risks: 1) A slower-than-expected recovery in corporate capex execution, and 2) higherthan-expected delinquency.

Action: Higher stress but discounted in the price, in our view


ICICI Bank has underperformed its private peers in the past 12 months largely
due to asset quality risks and, to some extent, slower growth. Our sensitivity
analysis does indicate that ICICI Bank has some concentrated exposure to
two to three infra conglomerates and their LGD would be +20% of FY17 net
worth, which is higher than Axis/Yes Bank. The ~30% discount in valuations to
Axis Bank does factor in the extra risk, and adjusted for the stress, valuations
are at a 15% discount and hence we still find relative risk-reward becoming
favourable. We reaffirm our Buy rating, with a revised target price of INR350.

expanded, but with retail growing at ~25% y-y and the corporate book
growing from a lower base, we now believe the growth differential will likely
narrow, though still remain below private peers. 2) ICICI Bank lost CASA
market share in FY09-13 due to lower SME connect. Incremental CASA
market share in the past 12 months has improved and continued
performance on this metric should drive a re-rating, in our opinion.

Nomura vs consensus

Risk remains, but in the price; maintain Buy


ICICIs exposure to risky accounts is higher and even adjusting for the higher
stress, valuations are at a 15-20% discount to peers like Axis/Yes. While the
charge-offs in some of ICICIs exposures could be large, current valuations at
1.4x FY17 book discount the risks and hence we maintain our Buy rating.

INR158bn for ICICI Bank in its stressed accounts, which are ~18% of its
FY17 net worth. We think ICICI is worst-placed among private corporate
banks for which we estimate an LGD at 11-22% of FY17 net worth. Key
reason for a higher LGD than its peers is its higher exposure to infra
conglomerates; excluding these, its exposure is similar to Axis in other risky
segments.

Valuation: ICICIs exposure to risky accounts is higher, and even adjusting for the
higher stress, valuations are at a 15-20% discount to peers like Axis/Yes. While chargeoffs in some of ICICIs larger exposures could be significant we think current valuations
at 1.4x FY17 book discount the risks, and hence we maintain our Buy rating.
Risks: 1) Some asset quality risks: legacy gas assets and overseas coal assets funded
by ICICI; 2) slower-than-expected turnaround of GDP growth.

Not as bad as perceived

Global Markets Research

Large exposure to some groups, but risks look


manageable

16 September 2015
Rating

Exposed to stressed groups, but risks look manageable


Yes Banks asset quality perception has taken a hit in the past three to six
months, with some large exposure to infra conglomerates. While our exposure
analysis suggests that Yes does have material exposure to some of the infra
names, its exposure is less than that of the PSUs banks/ICICI (as a
percentage of net worth). Adjusted for our stress test, Yes Banks valuation at
2.1x FY17 book looks reasonable and hence we reaffirm our Buy rating. We
prefer Axis (AXSB IN, Buy) /ICICI (ICICIBC, Buy) on a relative basis, however,
given there is no valuation gap with Axis and a ~30% premium over ICICI.
Our stress test outcome: We estimate a loss given default of INR21bn for
Yes Bank in its stressed accounts, which is ~13% of its FY17 net worth. We
believe Yes Bank is better placed than ICICI Bank, given its mix of high
exposure to infra conglomerates and lower exposure than peers to metal
names and infra SPVs. While credit charges in these accounts could lead to
a spike in Yes Banks credit cost, its 50bp of floating provisions (on loans)
and better collateral, according to management, provides some comfort.
Growth outcome better; liability profile remains the key: 1) Given Yes
Banks smaller size we believe it should be able to deliver faster growth
than larger private peers, and PSUs share loss offers additional opportunity.
2) While SA accretion has improved in the past three years since
deregulation, its overall share of total retail deposits is significantly lower
than peers and delivery here remains key to sustained margin improvement.
Multiples reasonable now adjusted for the stress; maintain Buy
Yes Bank currently trades at 1.9x FY17 book, and adjusted for our stress test,
valuations at 2.2x FY17 book look reasonable to us. Hence, we reaffirm our
Buy rating. While we expect growth to largely lag the FY04-07 period, this is
well reflected in current valuation multiples, in our opinion. We marginally
revise our FY16/17F PAT estimates down by 2-4% and our target price by 9%
to factor in part of the impact suggested by our stress test.

Large asset quality risks across

conglomerates and corporates
have yet to be recognized. Our
exposure analysis indicates the
risk seems to be priced in for
private corporate banks, but
adjusted valuations for PSUs are
not cheap. Investors need to

Valuation: Yes Bank currently trades at 1.9x FY17 book (BVPS: INR380), and adjusted
for our stress test, valuations at 2.2x FY17 book look reasonable to us. Hence, we
maintain our Buy rating. While growth will lag the FY04-07 period, we think this is well
reflected in current valuation multiples. We marginally revise our FY16/17F PAT
estimates down by 2-4% and our target price by 9% to factor in part of the impact
suggested by our stress test.
Risks: Lower-than-expected NIM expansion and loan growth, sharp deterioration in
asset quality, and slower-than-expected SA growth.

Liability franchise, capital levels and relatively better


underwriting are key positives

Action: Preferred PSU bank; maintain Buy


SBIs recent underperformance was due to asset quality concerns and recent
net interest margin (NIM) and PPOP weakness. Our stress test indicates that
SBIs loss-given-default (LGD) from large stressed names is lower than most
PSU banks, but higher than BOB (BOB IN, Buy) especially after including
exposure to its subsidiaries which is higher risk. While we think the NIM
pressure will likely be sector wide, its best-in-class liability franchise should
help lower the long-term impact on its NIM, in our view. Also, adjusting for the
stress test, valuations are now at a discount to BOB and similar to PNB;
hence, SBI is our preferred PSU bank.

on NIMs/PPOP was due to higher deposit growth despite lower term-deposit


rates, which is not negative in the long run and highlights its superior liability
franchise.Tier-1 of ~10% remains best among PSU banks and should help
SBI deliver better growth than peers over the next three years.
Maintain Buy, TP cut to INR290
While SBI currently trades at 0.8x FY17F reported book, adjusted for our
stress test its valuations are at 1.2x FY17F adjusted book (similar to the FY0407 multiple). Overall, we like SBIs superior liability franchise, capital levels
and better underwriting, and hence we maintain our Buy rating. We revise our
FY16/17F PAT estimates down by 0-6% and cut our TP by 13% to factor in
part of the impact from our stress test.

Large asset quality risks across

conglomerates and corporates
have yet to be recognized. Our
exposure analysis indicates the
risk seems to be priced in for
private corporate banks, but
adjusted valuations for PSUs are
not cheap. Investors need to
remain selective on PSUs.

for SBI (INR292bn including subsidiaries) in its stressed accounts, which


are ~12% of its FY17F net worth. SBI (parent) LGD is ~12% of FY17 net
worth which increases to ~14% of FY17F net worth including subsidiaries,
which is still better than most peers at 14-22% of FY17F net worth. SBI has
the lowest exposure to infra conglomerates of our covered PSU banks but
its exposure to metals and infra SPVs is similar to peers.

Valuation: While SBI currently trades at 0.8x FY17F reported book (BVPS: INR251),
adjusted for our stress test it trades at 1.2x FY17F adjusted book (similar to the FY04-07
multiple). Overall, we like SBIs superior liability franchise, capital levels and better
underwriting and hence we reiterate Buy. We revise our FY16/17F PAT estimates down
by 0-6% and cut our TP by 13% to factor in part of the impact from our stress test.
Risks: Risks include slower-than-expected recovery of the corporate credit cycle.

Lowest risk within PSU banks

Global Markets Research

Valuations now at a premium to SBI, and hence


lower in the relative pecking order

16 September 2015
Rating
Remains

Action: Lower risk within PSU banks; maintain Buy


BOBs asset quality and delinquent loans are the best among the PSU banks,
and our sensitivity analysis indicates its incremental risk is the lowest. Part of
its superior underwriting is reflected in its premium valuations vs peers. Its
underwriting and new private sector management make it a good long-term
investment within the group, in our view. On a relative basis, we prefer SBI
(SBIN IN, Buy) due to lower valuations and better liability franchise.

Relatively better underwriting in the past and recent management change


are certainly positives for BOB over the medium term. Near term, we see
two challenges: 1) Overseas margins are under pressure and new
management will have to address the profitability gap and 2) BOBs pension
provisioning over the past two years has been weaker than peers and is
likely to lead to higher opex growth in FY16/17F vs peers.

Nomura vs consensus

Maintain Buy and TP of INR210


While BOB currently trades at 0.9x FY17F reported book, adjusted for our
stress test its valuations are 1.3x FY17F adjusted book. BOBs better
underwriting/profitability, vs the FY04-07 cycle has led to its premium
valuations vs peers, and is likely to be sustained in view of its better capital
position and management change. We lower FY16/17F PAT estimates by 911% on lower NIMs in the international book but maintain our INR210 TP.

Large asset quality risks across


metals and infrastructure
conglomerates and corporates
have yet to be recognized. Our
exposure analysis indicates the
risk seems to be priced in for
private corporate banks, but
adjusted valuations for PSUs are
not cheap. Investors need to
remain selective on PSUs.

Management change a positive; overseas margins remain a key drag:

INR 210

Anchor themes

in its stressed accounts, which is ~10% of its FY17F net worth. This
compares well with the group, with LGDs of 15-25% of FY17F net worth.
BOB has lower exposure to most segments (particularly metals), and its
concentration risk in infra SPV debt is the lowest among peers, which is
consistent with our view of BOB being the most prudent underwriter.

Valuation: While BOB currently trades at 0.9x FY17F reported book (BVPS: INR194),
adjusted for our stress test its valuations are at 1.3x FY17F adjusted book. BOBs better
underwriting/profitability vs the FY04-07 cycle has led to its premium valuations vs peers,
and is likely to be sustained due to its better capital position and recent management
change, in our view. We lower FY16/17F PAT estimates by 9-11% on lower NIMs in the
international book, but maintain our TP of INR210.
Risks: 1) Longer-than-expected asset quality pressure and 2) slower-than-expected
pick-up in economic activity.

Many problems to take care of

Weak underwriter + weak capital position

Action: Many problems to take care of


BOI, along with PNB, clearly are the weakest underwriters among large PSU
banks, and like PNB, even our estimate of BOIs LGD (loss given default) to
the unrecognised stressed names is highest at 22% of FY17 net worth. BOIs
total net worth adjustments are highest among peers at ~60%, due to high
share of NPA plus restructuring, large ARC sales and now higher exposure in
these stressed names. While valuations on FY17F P/B look cheap at 0.35x,
adjusted valuation at 1.2x FY17F book looks demanding, especially with
RORWAs at <0.5%. We retain our cautious view on BOI.
Stress test outcome: We estimate a loss given default of INR76bn for BOI in
these stressed accounts, which is ~22% of its FY17F net worth. BOI is one of
the worst placed within our covered PSUs with LGDs of 15-25% of FY17F net
worth. More importantly, it has significantly higher exposure towards infra
conglomerates vs PSU peers, while it has similar exposure to other risky
segments. BOI has been significantly disappointing on asset quality in the past
two quarters, which can be explained by its higher exposures in these risky
segments. On the back of this, we expect ROEs to continue to remain sup-par
(<10% till FY18F) for BOI.
Profitability to remain weak: With ~12% of NPAs plus restructuring,
profitability has been significantly impacted and with still more to come, we
expect ROA to remain <0.5% over the next two years for BOI.

Anchor themes
Large asset quality risks across
metals and infrastructure
conglomerates and corporates
have yet to be recognized. Our
exposure analysis indicates the
risk seems to be priced in for
private corporate banks, but
adjusted valuations for PSUs are
not cheap. Investors need to
remain selective on PSUs.

Nomura vs consensus
Our FY16/17F PAT is 7-8%
below consensus as we factor in
higher asset quality pressures for
BOI.

Potential upside

Multiples marginally above FY04-07 cycle adjusted for stress; Neutral


While BOI currently trades at 0.35x FY17F reported book, adjusted for our
stress test it trades at 1.2x FY17F adjusted book and hence we maintain
Neutral. We think asset quality pressure will be higher for BOI vs peers and
hence we inch up our credit cost estimates, and additional recognition of these
stress assets will lead to interest reversals impacting NIMs. Overall, we revise
our FY16/17F PAT estimates down by 15-25% and cut our TP by 12% to
factor in part of the impact from our stress test.

Valuation: While BOI currently trades at 0.35x FY17F reported book, adjusted for our
stress test it trades at 1.2x FY17F adjusted book and hence we maintain Neutral. We
think asset quality pressure will be higher for BOI vs peers and hence we inch up our
credit cost estimates, and additional recognition of these stress assets will lead to
interest reversals impacting NIMs. Overall, we revise our FY16/17F PAT estimates down
by 15-25% and cut our TP by 12% to factor in part of the impact from our stress test.
Risks: Slower-than-expected economic recovery impacting asset quality and aggressive
growth will be the key downside risk and any material improvement in asset quality
trends will be the key upside risk.

Action: Share of incremental stress highest; least preferred PSU


PNBs FY15 impaired loan ratio of 17% is the highest among the large PSU
banks, and our stress test sensitivity indicates that its share of incremental
stress should also remain the highest thus highlighting its weak underwriting.
As we expect a much delayed recovery/upgrade cycle this time, we do not see
merit in buying the most stressed PSU bank. While current valuations at 0.55x
FY17F book (BVPS: INR204) may look cheap, but adjusted for higher stress,
PNBs valuation at 1.24x FY17F book is the highest among PSU banks. PNB
remains our least preferred PSU bank.

Large asset quality risks across


metals and infrastructure
conglomerates and corporates
have yet to be recognized. Our
exposure analysis indicates the
risk seems to be priced in for
private corporate banks, but
adjusted valuations for PSUs are
not cheap. Investors need to
remain selective on PSUs.

Multiples marginally above FY04-07 cycle adjusted for stress; maintain


Neutral
While PNB currently trades at 0.7x FY17F reported book, adjusted for our
stress test it trades at 1.3x FY17F adjusted book (~10% below the FY04-07
multiple) with significantly lower profitability, and hence we reiterate our
Neutral rating. We think, asset quality pressure will likely be higher for PNB
and even relapse risk from the restructured book remains high. Overall, we
revise FY16/17F PAT down by 3-8% and cut our TP by 9% to INR140 to
reflect part of the impact from our stress test.

Anchor themes

for PNB in its stressed accounts, which is ~21% of its FY17F net worth.
PNB is one of the worst placed within our covered PSUs, with LGD of 1525% of FY17F net worth. It has higher exposure to infra conglomerates and
the metals sector vs. PSU peers. This, coupled with a higher percentage of
unprovided NPAs and restructured book leads to a more than a 50% writeoff of its FY17F net worth, vs. SBI and BOB at ~30% each.
Not the time to buy the worst underwriter: In this credit cycle, most of the
stressed names have a high gestation period, and hence we do not expect
a meaningful recovery/upgrade cycle that PNB could benefit from given its
large book of impaired loans.

Valuation methodology: While PNB currently trades at 0.7x FY17 reported book
(BVPS: INR204), adjusted for our stress test it trades at 1.3x FY17 adjusted book (~10%
below FY04-07 multiple) with significantly lower profitability; hence, we reiterate our
Neutral rating. We think asset quality pressure will likely be higher for PNB and even
relapse risk from the restructured book remains high. Overall, we reduce FY16/17F PAT
estimates by 3-8% and cut our TP by 9% to INR140 to factor in part of the impact from
our stress test.
Risks: Better-than-expected economic recovery will be a key upside risk. Downside risk
will be higher slippages from the restructured book.

Explanation of Nomura's equity research rating system in Europe, Middle East and Africa, US and Latin America, and
Japan and Asia ex-Japan from 21 October 2013
The rating system is a relative system, indicating expected performance against a specific benchmark identified for each individual stock,
subject to limited management discretion. An analysts target price is an assessment of the current intrinsic fair value of the stock based on an
appropriate valuation methodology determined by the analyst. Valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, discounted cash flow
analysis, expected return on equity and multiple analysis. Analysts may also indicate expected absolute upside/downside relative to the stated
target price, defined as (target price - current price)/current price.

STOCKS
A rating of 'Buy', indicates that the analyst expects the stock to outperform the Benchmark over the next 12 months. A rating of 'Neutral',
indicates that the analyst expects the stock to perform in line with the Benchmark over the next 12 months. A rating of 'Reduce', indicates that
the analyst expects the stock to underperform the Benchmark over the next 12 months. A rating of 'Suspended', indicates that the rating, target
price and estimates have been suspended temporarily to comply with applicable regulations and/or firm policies. Securities and/or companies
that are labelled as 'Not rated' or shown as 'No rating' are not in regular research coverage. Investors should not expect continuing or
additional information from Nomura relating to such securities and/or companies. Benchmarks are as follows: United States/Europe/Asia exJapan: please see valuation methodologies for explanations of relevant benchmarks for stocks, which can be accessed at:
http://go.nomuranow.com/research/globalresearchportal/pages/disclosures/disclosures.aspx; Global Emerging Markets (ex-Asia): MSCI

STOCKS
Stock recommendations are based on absolute valuation upside (downside), which is defined as (Target Price - Current Price) / Current Price,
subject to limited management discretion. In most cases, the Target Price will equal the analyst's 12-month intrinsic valuation of the stock,
based on an appropriate valuation methodology such as discounted cash flow, multiple analysis, etc. A 'Buy' recommendation indicates that
potential upside is 15% or more. A 'Neutral' recommendation indicates that potential upside is less than 15% or downside is less than 5%. A
'Reduce' recommendation indicates that potential downside is 5% or more. A rating of 'Suspended' indicates that the rating and target price
have been suspended temporarily to comply with applicable regulations and/or firm policies in certain circumstances including when Nomura is
acting in an advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving the subject company. Securities and/or companies that are labelled
as 'Not rated' or shown as 'No rating' are not in regular research coverage of the Nomura entity identified in the top banner. Investors should
not expect continuing or additional information from Nomura relating to such securities and/or companies.

SECTORS
A 'Bullish' rating means most stocks in the sector have (or the weighted average recommendation of the stocks under coverage is) a positive
absolute recommendation. A 'Neutral' rating means most stocks in the sector have (or the weighted average recommendation of the stocks
under coverage is) a neutral absolute recommendation. A 'Bearish' rating means most stocks in the sector have (or the weighted average
recommendation of the stocks under coverage is) a negative absolute recommendation.

Target Price
A Target Price, if discussed, reflects in part the analyst's estimates for the company's earnings. The achievement of any target price may be
impeded by general market and macroeconomic trends, and by other risks related to the company or the market, and may not occur if the
company's earnings differ from estimates.
