EBITDA 626.61 527.20 18.16 1701.56
Basel-II. Including 9MFY11 profit, CAR comes at 13.4%. In addition to this, capital
infusion from the GoI through right issue is expected by March 2011 which will

further boost its capital base.

EPS (Rs) 6.82 4.95 37.77 19.62
1.41% in Q3FY11 against 0.87% in the corresponding quarter last year. Net NPA

also rose to 0.47% as on Dec 31, 2011 from 0.17% y-o-y. Provision coverage ratio of
5.84 5.85 -0.01bps 5.84
Deposit (%) the bank stood at 80.42% higher than the regulatory requirement of 70%,
Yield on
advances (%)
11.07 10.86 0.21bps 11.07 Provisioning of the bank increased because of the higher slippage rate of 0.3%.
Bank will have to increase the provision in next couple of quarter.

Price Performance % Valuations: We expect strong growth in profitability given the healthy margins and
1M 3M 6M 12M robust business growth. While slippage rate at 0.3% is lower leading to higher NPA
provisions, PCR over 80% provides comfort. Weak asset quality also remains concern.
Absolute 18.5 (16.8) (5) 47.5
We expect Andhra Bank to report book value of Rs.110 and Rs. 134 in FY11 and FY12
Rel to Nifty (1.9) (7.5) 2.4 12.9 respectively. Stock trades at just 1.4x and 1.1x multiple of our estimated FY11E &
FY12E adjusted book value. At the CMP, stock offers dividend yield of 4.4% and
5.3% for FY11E and FY12E respectively. Hence, we recommend BUY on Andhra
Sharmila Joshi Bank.
