Loan growth remained moderate over the last few years,
likely to see revival from FY2018
KVB’s loan book reported a healthy CAGR of 17% over FY2011-16. However,
FY2017 has been a lackluster year so far with loan growth of only 3.3%. Too much
reliance on the corporate side has impacted the growth of the bank in the recent
quarters, as incremental demand from corporate segment has been muted due to
the lack of fresh capex. Further, looking at the stress in asset quality, the
management has further slowed down the loan book expansion.

total loans has gone up to 16% at the end of 3QFY17 as compared to 8% in

political instability in its home state Tamil Nadu also had been one of the key
reasons for the lack of credit growth, however with stability in Government now,
investments should revive, leading to better credit off take.

KVB has a strong presence in the Textile belt of Coimbatore-Karur-Tirupur region
and has strong relationships with the local textile manufactuers. Textile loans
account for ~27% of the bank’s manufcaturing sector loan book and ~9% of the
total loan book, and has reported a 18.6% CAGR over FY2012-16. In the near
term the Indian textile manufcaturers are seeing some moderation in growth due
to the overall slow down in the developed countries, which are their export
destinations. However, Indian textile industry remains quite competitive and is likley
to bounce back, which should aid the loan growth for the bank.

Fairly stable deposit growth further boosted by demonetization
KVB’s deposits have reported a healthy 15.2% CAGR over FY2011-16. The growth in
deposits got a further boost owing to demonetization. During demonetization the bank
received strong flows in the low cost CASA base and the share of CASA in total
deposits thus went up to 30.8% at the end of 3QFY2017 v/s 23.3% in FY2016 end.
Though incrementally the growth in CASA could taper down, we expect
overall
deposits to grow at a CAGR of 9% over FY2017-19.

Strong NII growth was cost dented by higher operating and
credit costs, which should normalize over the next few years
KVB’s NII has grown at 18.4% CAGR over FY2011-16 backed by a 17% CAGR in
loan book. However, FY2017 has been a year of consolidation for the bank and
we expect FY2017 to end with 12.8% growth in NII, however, we expect that it
would pick up from FY2018 onwards.

As shown in the below table KVB’s NII growth has been quite robust reporting
18.4% CAGR over FY2011-16 and is very much comparable to its peers. However,
as mentioned earlier higher operating costs and credit costs took a toll on the
earnings growth of the bank, which has reported a CAGR of 6.4% over the same
period. However, with credit cost coming under control we expect the bank’s
bottom-line growth to outpace the NII growth over the next two years.

Asset quality issues to subside gradually
KVB had maintained a fairly stable asset quality in a challenging economic
environment, however, prolonged slowdown in the core sectors took a toll on its
asset quality. The bank’s large dependence upon corporates and dwindling
profitability of the sectors has impacted the asset quality. Thus, the GNPAs which
were 1.30% at the end of FY2016 went up to 2.66% at the end of 3QFY2017,
while NNPAs went up to 1.68% v/s 0.55% over the same period of time. We expect
asset quality pressure to subside in the quarters to come.

Large scale slippages and resultant higher credit cost impacted the bottom-line of
the bank. The last three quarters of FY2017 have been quite painful with
increasing slippages. However, we believe that a large part of the troubled assets
have already slipped into NPA and incremental slippages would be under control
for KVB. Further, recovery and up gradation is likely to gain momentum and this
should also aid in the overall control on the GNPA levels.

Large scale restructuring already over, incremental pain to be
minimal
KVB had to undertake a lot of restructuring in the sectors it had exposure to during
the last two years. Infrastructure and Textiles were the two large sectors where lot
of stress was witnessed by the bank. At the beginning of FY2016, the bank had an
outstanding restructured loan book of `1,943 cr, of which ~`692 cr (35% of total)
were downgraded to NPAs. Large part of this was from the commodity sector.
Accordingly, the outstanding restructured loan book had declined and it stood at
`1,279 cr (3.32% of the loan book) at the end of 3QFY2017. For KVB, large part
of the troubled assets has already been restructured and even the more
troublesome accounts have slipped into NPAs, hence we believe that incremental
stress in the form of restructuring could be minimal.

Cost structure has come down in the last few years
Expanding the number of branches and ATMs on one hand and slowdown in
business on the other has impacted the cost structure of the bank, and hence, the
cost/income ratio of KVB has gone up. However, with maturing of new branches
and pick up in business in the existing branches, moderation in its cost/income
ratio is expected going ahead.

Increasing share of low cost deposits and lower interest reversals
will ensure a healthy NIM going ahead
During the last quarter, the bank witnessed a drop in yield of assets coupled with a
sharp drop in the cost of funds. Backed by demonetization there was strong flow of
low cost deposits, and hence the reduction in cost. Though some part of the funds
could migrate to high cost term deposits, overall CASA could remain much
stronger than earlier for KVB, this together with lower interest reversal should help
in NIM remaining strong in the quarters to come.

Return ratios hurt due to high credit cost, RoE to bounce back in
FY2018
Subdued growth in loan book on one hand and deteriorating asset quality on the
other dented the profitability of KVB in last few years. Operating expenses of the
bank grew at higher rate than the operating income, thus exerting pressure on the
cost structure of the bank. All these factors impacted the overall return ratios of the
bank, which saw a declining trend. However, over the medium term, with
moderating credit cost and cost structure, backed by better credit off take we
expect RoE to improve gradually.

In order to meet business growth capital needs to be raised
KVB has a relatively lower capital adequacy as compared to other south based
private sector banks. We feel that the bank will have to raise capital in the near
term in order to push higher growth. However, considering the bank’s strong track
record, we don’t see raising capital as a challenge for the bank.

Outlook and valuation
KVB’s earnings were impacted due to higher provisions and lower business growth,
however, we expect gradual recovery on both the fronts going ahead. While in
FY2018 we expect earnings recovery to be visible, sharp growth is expected in
FY2019. At the CMP the stock is trading at 1.1x it’s FY2019 BV. We have valued
the stock at 1.4x its FY2019E BV and recommend BUY with a Target Price of `140
over the next 12 months.
