Asset quality improves; higher net income and lower opex drive PAT beat
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services’ (MMFS) 4QFY15 PAT grew 7% YoY and 144%
QoQ to INR3.33b. Higher interest writebacks on account of upgrades and recoveries
led to 6% beat in net income, while reversal of employee provisions led to lower
opex, resulting in 23% PAT beat. Key highlights:
n Led by intense focus on recoveries coupled with the seasonal phenomenon,
GNPAs improved 120bp sequentially (highest QoQ improvement in the last four
years) to 5.9% v/s 7.1% a quarter ago and 4.4% a year ago. NNPAs improved
100bp QoQ to 2.4% v/s 3.4% a quarter ago. PCR improved to 61% v/s 54.3% in
3QFY15 (59.1% in 4QFY14).
n Calculated margins improved 165bp QoQ to 10.39% led by a) interest write-back
due to a improvement in asset quality and b) 30bp QoQ moderation in cost of
fund.
n Other highlights: a) AUM grew to 8% YoY at INR368.8b as the company focuses
on recovery, b) overall CAR stood at 18.3%, with tier 1 of 15.5%, c) cost to income
ratio stood at 28.6%, improved 108bp YoY and d) subsidiaries now contribute
9.4% of consolidated PAT v/s 7.2% in FY14.
Valuation and view: Among the best performers in the last cycle, MMFS has
underperformed peers by a wide margin over the last 12 months due to asset quality
pressures. Company’s current asset quality issues are an cyclical adjustment and not
structural breakdown, in our view. Its long-term prospects remain strong, and as the
rural economy stabilizes, volume pick-up and margin expansion should drive earnings
upgrades. We expect RoE to inch up from 14% in FY15 to 17% in FY17E. The stock is
trading at P/B of 2.5x of FY16E BV of INR113 and 2.2x FY17E BV of INR127.7. Maintain
Buy.

Asset quality improves 120bp – GNPA at 5.9%
n Intense focus on recoveries and high collection efforts coupled with seasonal
phenomena resulted in GNPA decline.
n GNPAs declined 120bps to 5.9% vs 7.1% a quarter ago and 4.4% a year ago. The
GNPA improvement is the highest sequential improvement in asset quality in
last 4 years. NNPA also improved to 2.4% vs 3.4% a quarter ago.

3QFY15 (59.1% in 4QFY14).
Higher net income and lower opex drives PAT beat

recovery) led to improvement in net income which grew +16% YoY and +20%
QoQ to INR9b.
n Calculated margins improved by 165bp QoQ to 10.39%, led by a) interest
recovery due to improvement in asset quality b) 30bp QoQ moderation in cost
of fund Cost of fund to 9.72%.
n Further, opex declined 5% QoQ led by INR200m reversal of employee expenses;
Cost income for the quarter improved to 28.6%
AUM growth moderate to 8%; focus on recovery
n Moderating demand and focus on recoveries led to AUM growth falling to single
digits at 8% YoY and 1% QoQ to INR 369b.
n Consolidation of CV/CE book (-6% YoY and 0.4% QoQ) led to its share in overall
AUM decline to 13% v/s +15% in 4QFY14. Incremental AUM growth YoY is driven
by M&M auto/utility vehicles (50% of incremental AUM).
Healthy performance by subsidiaries continues

71.4% YoY to INR216m. O/s book stood at ~INR21b (up 55% YoY). FY15 PAT

Valuations and view
n MMFS has underperformed peers by a wide margin over the last 12 months due
to asset quality pressures. While it’s reported NPLs are likely to remain at ~6%
till 2HFY16, we view this as a cyclical adjustment and not a structural
breakdown.
n Long-term prospects remain exciting, and as the rural economy stabilizes, MMFS
should once again be in a pole position to capture the upturn. The management
targets AUM of INR900b by 2020, implying 20% CAGR over the next six years.
n We expect RoEs to inch up from 14% in FY15 to 17% in FY17. Asset quality
stabilization, volume growth pick-up, and margin expansion should drive
earnings upgrades. The stock is currently trading at P/BV of 2.5x of FY16E BV of
INR113 and 2.2x FY17E BV of INR127.7. We value the stock at 2.75x FY17 P/B.
Maintain Buy.
