Federal Bank | Company Update
Loan growth to remain decent, albeit lower pace seen in
the last two quarters;
Federal Bank has reported decent loan growth over the last two years. In Q1 and
Q2 of FY17, the bank has seen further acceleration in the loan growth by 19% and
27%, respectively. The phenomenally high growth in Q2FY17 was backed by 47%
jump in loan book from the corporate loan book. Historically, SME has been a
growth driver for Federal Bank and accounts for ~25% of the loan book.
Corporate loans have also been witnessing strong growth in the last few quarters
and now account for 35% of the book compared to 30% in Q1FY16.
While it is difficult to quantify the effect of demonetization on banking space, it is
fair to assume a slowdown in the SME and Corporate segment. The smaller and
micro enterprises depend on cash to large extent both for their input and selling
their final output, and hence there could be a moderation in the loan growth in the
coming two quarters. However, the interest rate regime in India is likely to remain
low for many quarters to come and this should help better credit growth after a
pause that we are likely to see in the next two quarters.

Federal Bank | Company Update
Deposit growth will get a further boost, CASA to remain
high
The deposit growth for the banking industry witnessed some improvement in
Q2FY17. Federal bank reported a jump of 17% in deposit base on top of 12.5%
growth in Q1FY17. We have already seen rush in bank deposits amid the
demonetization move, this will further accelerate the growth in deposit base.
Though interest rates will further come down, the banking industry including
Federal Bank will continue to see surge in deposits in the months to come.

Federal Bank | Company Update
Asset quality stress has started stabilizing
Slippages had been relatively higher for Federal Bank for all the quarters in FY16.
However in 1Q and 2Q of FY17, the bank delivered meaningful control over
slippages and this was an encouraging sign. In absolute terms, the slippages were
`280cr and `266cr vs. `571cr in Q3FY16 and `536cr in Q4FY16. While it’s too
early to say that the trouble is over, the initial sign has been clear and that is
incrementally there could be lower slippages.
While it is difficult to quantify the impact of demonetization on the industry, SME
segment do have large exposure to the cash form of business either for input or for
the finished goods that they deal with. However, it is safe to assume some
incremental stress on the SME.

Credit cost remained elevated for FY16; however, we have started witnessing some
moderation in the same. Accordingly, we expect credit cost top fall to 110bps in
FY17 and further to 80bps in FY18. The bank might take higher provisions in
order to improve its PCR. However, on a like to like basis we don’t expect sharp
rise in provisioning.

Federal Bank | Company Update
Slippages from SME could see some stress post demonetization,
but improvement in corporate book gives comfort
Federal Bank’s pipeline of accounts with potential stress was relatively lower and
was one of the lowest in recent quarters, when they declared their Q2FY17 results.
The expected slowdown in the economy post demonetization could put some
pressure on the SME loan book. However, we don’t expect material deterioration
in the corporate loan book segment for the bank. While in Q2FY17, the bank
witnessed some incremental restructuring, we don’t expect large accounts to come
forward for restructuring in the near term. Further there are a couple of accounts
which should get upgraded from the restructured book in the quarters to come.

Outlook and valuation
Federal Bank has already recognized large part of the troubled assets as NPAs.
While there could be incrementally some degree of stress on the SME book, we
believe gradually there should be overall improvement in the asset quality, backed
by corporate loan book. Post Q1FY17 results, when the outlook changed towards
asset quality, the stock appreciated sharply; but subsequently has corrected amid
concerns over slowdown and stress on the SME book. At the CMP, the stock is
trading at 1.4x it FY18 Adj BV. We upgrade the stock to BUY with a target price of
`85.
