Conventional wisdom always held two possible fates for any NBFC - a glassceiling to growth aspirations or conversion into a bank. ‘The License’ remains, formany observers, the Holy Grail that every NBFC aspires for, in its quest for astable source of large scale funding and access to the regulatory mainstream withaccompanying safeguards. The current guidelines for new banking licenses arefairly demanding in terms of i) branch presence requirements ii) little to noforbearance on priority sector and SLR/CRR requirements and iii) dilution andownership structuring stipulations. With CASA being the centre-stage of existingcompetition in the banking sector and usual urban credit categories fairlycrowded, we feel that the license in its current avatar is not necessarily anunequivocal posit ive for all aspirants. Our analysis o f coverage NBFC applicantspoints out IDFC as a possible beneficiary, defined as likely accretion to steadystate RoE (and possible reduction in CoE), based on assumptions that allow for
strategic implementation uncertainties. LIC Housing Finance, Muthoot Financeand the Shriram group, on the other hand, might f ind that the burden of a bankingmodel in the currently prescribed form, outweighs its benefits. LIC HousingFinance however offers the best indicative IRR to existing shareholder amongstthe applicants analysed, due to a large valuation gap from steady stateexpectations. The conclusions f rom our exercise seem to v indicate, in retrospect,M&M Financial’s decision to not apply and Shriram Groups’s reluctance inmerging Shriram Transport Finance into a bank, even if given a license. Licensebenefits are highly context specific. CASA is no low hanging fruit. The primary motivation factor for any banking
license aspirant is access to CASA funds – traditionally both low cost and sticky. But,as is the case for any goal shared by all industry players – gaining CASA has provedboth difficult and expensive. While garnering more SA clearly remains a strategic
imperative, in our opinion i) sticky SA has proved hard to get without a large retailbase that trusts the brand and relates to it ii) rate advantage has reduced withsavings rate deregulation and iii) operating cost & infrastructure investment sacrificeis not insignificant and does not seem very strongly correlated. With capital marketactivity tepid and business cash flow volumes muted (both revenue slow down aswell as a stretched cash cycle), CA for the banking sector as a whole has fallen from9.9% to 9.2% of NDTL in the last 12 months.
Branch costs and no forbearance on PSL is a big dampener. RBI has stipulatedthat the new banks must have 25% of their branches located in areas with less than10,000 population count in Census 2001. In the Indian context, 10,000 is a verysmall number effectively implying compulsory presence in fairly under-populatedpockets. These branches at least for few years are likely to be a drag on profitability
with little contribution to business on either asset or liability side. Furtherimpediments come from being given just 18 months to comply with SLR and CRRrequirements (in calculating NDTL, we include NCD issued by the companies aswell). Meeting priority sector lending targets will be a challenge for most newentrants as well, although the level of preparedness varies across applicants. In our calculation of RoE scenarios for the various applicants we have conservativelyassumed that any priority sector shortfall is deployed into the RIDF window at 5.5-6%. Amongst the applicants under discussion, Shriram City Union Finance and LICHousing Finance have the strongest priority sector origination capabilities. Weexpect ultimate priority sector regulations will have to adjust to realities of originationcapability and relaxation is almost inevitable.

Dilution requirements significantly reduce attractiveness, holding structurecreates complications. The RBI has laid down extremely stringent sequentialdilution criteria for the NOFHC’s (Non Operating Financial Holding Company’s) bankstake with a clear timeline. RoE is likely to remain muted in the initial 3 year period ofbank operation under the current guidelines. The NOFHC will be forced to dilute 60%stake in the bank during this time of weak earnings momentum. The IRR to a currentshareholder depends heavily on valuation multiple on the 3 year exit and our scenario
analysis reveals that the mandatory dilution wipes out significant proportion of the no-dilution IRR. The specified ownership structure complicates this issue by creating thepossibility of a holding company discount from multiple layers of dividend taxation(only one level is pass-through). Some innovative structuring may address this issueto an extent and few possible options (with due caveats and attendant negatives) arei) allocating shares in the NOFHC proportionally to apex NBFC shareholders (subjectto promoters owning at least 51%) ii) reverse merging the apex NBFC entity into theNOFHC and iii) looking at non-dividend alternatives for rewarding apex NBFCshareholders.
Big ticket financial inclusion from incumbents appears like a bet againsthistory. Retail credit in India is a tale of two opposites – a reasonably penetratedurban core and a severely under-penetrated rural periphery. While financial inclusion
in rural locations remains a priority sector focus, apart from niche presence of someNBFCs, penetration of organized credit remains low till date. We feel given the highentry barriers of the rural markets and challenges of rolling out credit to under-penetrated niche customer segments, the new banking license recipients will focus onurban markets (unless they have an existing strength in a niche). To this end theproducts likely to be targeted are expected to be a subset of the following group –mortgages, CV, auto & 2-wheeler loans, education loans, gold loans and unsecuredproducts like credit cards and personal loans. In short, except for licensees alreadyengaged in lending to the bottom of the pyramid, the grand aim of financial inclusion isunlikely to be incrementally served by new licenses in the near future.
Initial pain for all, belated gains for some. Our scenario analysis indicates a cleardrop in RoE for all converts in the first two years, with varied trajectories ofimprovement post this ‘teething’ period. The IRR that a current shareholder of these
NBFCs can expect is obviously a function of current and expected steady statevaluations post conversion, along with timing and attractiveness of dilutions. Our list ofbeneficiaries is defined by value add to the business model (RoE change vs reductionin CoE), rather than IRR possible (based on current valuations) for shareholders ofthese NBFCs (although we present this analysis in a later section).

CASA is no low hanging fruit
The primary motivation factor for any banking license aspirant is access to CASA
funds – traditionally both low cost and sticky. But, as is the case for any goal sharedby all industry players – gaining CASA has proved both difficult and expensive. The
Finance Ministry directive asking PSU Banks to not let bulk deposits cross 15% of
NDTL has ensured that even they will remain in constant pursuit of retail deposits.
SA – challenges on both stickiness and cost
Savings rate deregulation in India since October 2011 wherein RBI allowed banks the
freedom to fix their own interest rates on savings deposits, has ensured that players
like Kotak Mahindra Bank (Unrated) and Yes Bank (BUY, TP - Rs472) has offered 6-7% on savings deposits (backed by aggressive ad spends) in order to gain deposit
market share. While this has helped them garner some share, the problems they faceare:
•
The SA cost advantage is not what it used to be with deposit rates regulatedearlier at 4%.

• Most of the money that has quickly shifted in is rate sensitive money from HNI’s
and corporate float and the basic assumption of a sticky source of funding isgetting questioned.
• The hunt for SA involves investments into branch and ATM expansion to address
convenience for the depositor (with most branches being essentially retail liabilitycollection centres, this rings especially true).
We are not trying to say that garnering more SA should not be a strategic focus of
players, we are just saying that i) sticky SA has proved difficult to garner without a
large retail base that trusts the brand and relates to it ii)rate advantage has reducedand iii)operating cost & investment sacrifice is not insignificant. SA is clearly no low
hanging fruit and for only savings on SA to justify a branch’s existence, the quantumrequired is about Rs300mn.

CA – increasingly competitive with falling volumes
Current account money is driven to a large extent by i) degree of excess liquidity oncorporate balance sheets and volume of transaction activity ii) settlement related
funds of capital market transactions. With capital market activity muted and business
cash flow volumes muted (both revenue slow down as well as a stretched cash cycle
for businesses), CA for the banking sector as a whole has fallen from 9.9% to 9.2% ofNDTL in the last 12 months.

Looking at history – garnering CASA is a difficult task
Looking at history, we see that FY08 to Q3FY14, amongst the large players only ICICIBank has been able to increase CASA proportion of NDTL, despite having 20%+
branch expansion CAGR (bar SBI) on a reasonable base. Amongst the new
generation private sector banks, IndusInd and Yes Bank have done well, albeit
arguably through price competition on savings rates.

Branch costs and no forbearance on PSL is a bigdampener
Branches that will likely bear little fruit
Financial inclusion was the underlying motivation for calling in new banking licensesby the RBI. To this end, the RBI has stipulated that the new banks must have 25% of
their branches located in areas with less than 10,000 population count in Census2001. In the Indian context, 10,000 is a very small number effectively implying
compulsory presence in fairly under-populated pockets. Needless to say, we remainvery skeptical about the AUM generation capability of such branches and feel thatretail liability inflow is likely to be slow as well. In short, these branches at least for few
years are likely to be a drag on profitability with little contribution to business on either
asset or liability side. This particular regulation was cited by M&M Financials as one ofthe primary reasons for it to drop out of the banking license race.
Amongst the companies we analyse in this report, IDFC is perhaps best positioned
with respect to vulnerability to this regulation, merely by dint of it having 4 branchescurrently and a low need for incremental branches given its likely focus on wholesale
banking.

Almost no forbearance on SLR and CRR
The new banks will be given 18 months to comply to SLR and CRR requirements
which are
• SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) to be maintained at 23% of NDTL (Net Demand &
Time Liabilities)
• CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) to be maintained at 4% of NDTL (Net Demand & Time
Liabilities)
The SLR portfolio primarily comprises of GOI securities while CRR is kept as zerointerest balance with the RBI. Both of these are essentially negative carry portions of
the asset portfolio of most banks.
In our calculation for the drag that these factors cause on the new bank’s return ratioswe have assumed that even the NCDs that these balance sheets carry will require
SLR and CRR provisions against them. Any forbearance on this will enhance the
banks’ return potential.

Alternatively, they could buy priority sector requirement compliant loans and considerthem as fulfilling part of the quota or buy bonds of certain nodal agencies like
NABARD and SIDBI in the RIDF window.
As the Nachiket Mor Committee report in financial inclusion points out, the asset
quality track record of scheduled commercial banks in priority sector lending has been
less than inspiring with NBFCs having done a far superior job. As the following tabledemonstrates, priority sector delinquencies have been higher for banks than other
loan assets.

We feel that priority sector lending will be a challenge for most new entrants as well,although the level of preparedness varies across applicants. In our calculation of RoE
scenarios for the various applicants we have conservatively assumed that any priority

No promised forbearance, but looks difficult to avoid
We expect that although the current guidelines offer scant forbearance to new
entrants in their teething period, ultimate regulations will have to adjust to realities.Forbearance will be especially difficult to avoid in priority sector assets. The reality isthat all banks in India struggle to meet these quotas and are only partially compliant.

Dilution requirements reduce attractiveness,holding structure creates complications
The RBI has laid down extremely stringent sequential dilution criteria for the NOFHC’sbank stake (and thereby through it the promoter entity’s stake) with a clear timeline. It
mandates that the NOFHC must dilute down to 40% shareholding in the bank within
the first 3 years (a level they must maintain for the first five years). The shareholdingneeds to come down to 20% in 10 years and 15% in 12 years.
Of this we feel the toughest to achieve will be paring down the NOFHC’s stake in the
bank to 40% in the first 3 years. Once this is achieved, we feel subsequent dilutionstipulations will be easier to meet. The problem is further complicated by the NOFHCstructure itself. In most cases for the listed NBFCs we discuss, the current listed entity
is likely to own the NOFHC, and the business is likely to be transferred two steps
down into the bank.
Now, as we see in the first section, RoE is likely to remain muted in the initial 3 year
period of bank operation under the current guidelines. The NOFHC will be forced todilute 60% stake in the bank during this time of weak earnings momentum. As capitalraise is more likely than a stake sale, new capital will further dilute RoE and potentially
further impact valuations for the next rounds (unless capital is raised at one go).
In the following exercise, we assume each of the new banks to be diluting at the endof the third year at three different multiple scenarios
i) in line with the steady state valuations (P/B as outlined as reasonable by us in
section 1)
ii) at 25% premium to steady state valuations (assuming new shareholders feel that
the capital they bring in can be deployed into the business quickly) and
iii) 25% discount to steady state valuations (assuming new shareholders aredismayed by initially low RoE). In all the three cases assuming a terminal value for
the residual bank holding at the end of 12 years (at steady state P/B multiple), wework out the IRR for the NOFHC (assuming necessary dilutions at the end of 10thand 12th year at exactly the steady state valuation multiple).

As we see, the IRR for the promoter entity depends heavily on the valuation multipleavailable at the first mandatory dilution. Also, the IRR numbers are low as the NOFHC
is diluting heavily. To illustrate this point, look at how the base case IRR with dilution,compares with possible IRR under the same set of assumptions if no dilution was
necessary.

However, we feel that in reality the dilution of stake will be delayed more than whathas been outlined in the guidelines. If we look at current examples of new generation
private sector banks this becomes very clear. As per the RBI’s 2001 guidelines on
entry of new banks in the private sector, promoters were required to maintain aminimum stake of 40% in the bank at any point of time. Any excess stake over 40%
had to be diluted after one year of the bank’s operations. Also, equity participation bya foreign company as a co-promoter or co-promoter was restricted to 20% within theoverall promoter ceiling of 40%. However, over the course of time we have seen RBI
relaxing some of the requirements on dilution of promoter stake. Classic example
being that of Kotak Mahindra Bank (received the banking license in 2003), whereinthe promoter, (Mr.Uday Kotak) has been allowed to bring down his stake to 20% by
2018 from ~43% currently. Also, RBI has advised the bank that decision on furtherdilution of the promoter stake to 10% would be taken after 2 years when the 20%
requirement is reached in 2018.
Also, there is the small matter of requisite amount of capital market/strategic interestto dilute 60% within the first three years. Diluting at the same valuation, this would
mean equity infusion equalling 1.5x market capitalization. Even assuming a modest
US$2bn pre-money market capitalization for 5 odd incumbents, the total equityrequirement is US$15bn. To put this in perspective, the following chart illustrates how
much equity money has flown into primary equity purchase of Indian banking (bothfresh issuance and stake sale) on an annual basis in the last 10 years. Forbearance
on the dilution criteria is unavoidable in our opinion.
Dilution norms are
unlikely to see fullcompliance

Rigidly defined ownership structure poses quite a few issues
The final guidelines from the RBI on how bank ownership can be structured leavesvery little elbow room for flexibility in how the ownership structure will look. Thegeneric structure for an NBFC that seeks a license will look as follows.

A common concern within the market is that will this generic structure imply a holding
company discount at the apex entity level due to the presence of the intermittentNOFHC. The reasons cited in favour of a discount are
1. The dividend from bank to end shareholder of erstwhile NBFC (apex entity) is
likely to pass three possible layers of dividend tax. While one layer will becomeexempt, there is a value loss at the third layer.
2. Value realization in itself will be difficult from the NOFHC as there are restrictions
on capitalization levels and dividends of the NOFHC. The extant regulations aresummarized in the following grey box.

The capital structure of the wholly-owned NOFHC set up by Promoter / PromoterGroups in Private Sector shall consist of
• a) voting equity shares not exceeding 10 per cent of the total voting equity shares
of the NOFHC held by any individual belonging to the Promoter Group, along withhis relatives (as defined in Section 6 of the Companies Act 1956) and along with
entities in which he and / or his relatives hold not less than 50 per cent of the
voting equity shares, and• b) companies forming part of the Promoter Group whereof companies in which the
public hold not less than 51 per cent of the voting equity shares shall hold not lessthan 51 per cent of the total voting equity shares of the NOFHC.
• The NOFHC shall hold the bank as well as all the other financial services entities
of the Group regulated by RBI or other financial sector regulators. The objective isthat the Holding Company should ring fence the regulated financial servicesentities of the Group, including the bank from other activities of the Group.
• Thus, only non-financial services companies / entities and non-operative financialholding company in the Group and individuals belonging to Promoter Group will
be allowed to hold shares in the NOFHC. Financial services entities whose sharesare held by the NOFHC cannot be shareholders of the NOFHC.
• RBI will have to be satisfied that the corporate structure does not impede the
financial services entities held by the NOFHC from being ring fenced, that it wouldbe able to supervise the bank, the NOFHC, and its Subsidiaries / Joint Ventures /
Associates on a consolidated basis, and that, it will be able to obtain all requiredinformation relevant for this purpose, smoothly and promptly. However, theprimary supervision of the entities held by the NOFHC will be by the sectoral
regulators.
• The NOFHC shall not be permitted to set up any new financial services entity forat least three years from the date of commencement of business of the NOFHC.
However, this would not preclude the bank from having a subsidiary or jointventure or associate, where it is legally required or specifically permitted by RBI.
• (vii) Only those regulated financial sector entities in which a Promoter
Group has significant influence2 or control will be held under the NOFHC.
• The Promoter / Promoter Group entities / individuals associated with
Promoter Group shall hold equity investment, in the bank and other
financial entities held by it, only through the NOFHC.
• (ix) Shares of the NOFHC shall not be transferred to any entity outside the
Promoter Group. Any change in shareholding (by the Promoter Group) with
in the NOFHC as a result of which a shareholder acquires 5 per cent or
more of the voting equity capital of the NOFHC shall be with the priorapproval of RBI.
3. Cash flow ring-fencing issues with respect to any conglomerate
We think that the first and second issues have merit to them and will likely imply a
holding company discount of 17%. We do not see any possibility of cash flowsubsidisation between bank and its sister entities and not feel that will contribute to
any holding company discount.

Big ticket financial inclusion from incumbentsappears like a bet against history
Retail assets – a tale of two Indias – one difficult to reach, theother highly competitive
With large parts of the wholesale lending opportunity like power, infrastructure underdebilitating stress and existing opportunities in sectors like telecom being yield-
unattractive, retail lending is key to the growth strategy of most private players. Retailcredit in India is a tale of two opposites – a reasonably penetrated urban core and aseverely under-penetrated rural periphery. While financial inclusion in rural locations
remains a priority sector focus, apart from niche presence of some NBFCs,penetration of organized credit remains low till date.

Initial pain for all, belated gains for some
The banking license has always been seen as the ticket to the big league for all
NBFCs with reasonable size by mainstream observers. While there are obvious meritsto this argument – liability diversification critical to stability and regulatory support
being obvious ones – the fine print in extant guidelines relating to receiving a license
in its current form ensure that potential benefit is at least up for debate. M&MFinancial, an investor favourite in India, perhaps provided the strongest evidence insupport of a trade-off being involved in converting into a bank when it dropped out of
the race, despite having significant advantages with respect to complying to prioritysector related requirements. In particular, the following issues are cause for
consternation for a shareholder of a NBFC that could potentially convert into a bank.
1. The guidelines require 25% of branches to be located in areas with populationless than 10,000. With little or no business contribution from most such branches
being a prudent assumption, the cost drag is quite significant.
2. The guidelines offer very little forbearance on priority sector requirements with40% of ANBC being the stipulated minimum exposure. All current banks struggleto meet these stipulations and it does impact RoE expectations when we build in
shortfalls for some of the NBFCs that we evaluate. We assume shortfall
deployment into RIDF at 5.5-6%.
3. The dilution requirements for the NOFHC (Non-operating financial holding
company) are i) stake to be reduced to 40% within 3 years (and maintained at that
level for 2 more years) ii) further to 20% by 10 years and iii) to 15% by 12 yearsfrom the date of commencement of operations. These dilution timelines, especially
clause i), reduce the attractiveness of the license.
4. Due to the NOFHC structure that is mandatory for the bank’s ownership, the apex
shareholder may face problems of a holding company discount.
5. Only 18 month given to comply to SLR and CRR (drag on profitability)
There are many question marks even on the plus side of the ledger book. CASA
funds are no low hanging fruit and the probability of success depends on retail recall,
branch presence, size of balance sheet and corporate relationships. The only benefitthat is near universal for all these NBFCs is actually higher leverage. In the followingsection we analyse the business case for bank conversion in each of the chosen
NBFCs, focusing on
• Asset strategy (based on current strengths)
• Liability strategy (focus on retail funds)
•
Priority sector capabilities• Branch reach and drag from mandatory rural branches
• Balance sheet structure
• Execution risks
• RoE tree for five years post inception, with and without forbearance
• IRR hit from dilut ion requirements
• Likely holding structure

new licensee

IDFC (IDFC IN, Mcap – US$2.9bn, BUY, TP- Rs138)
Conclusion from our scenario analysis –a big beneficiary provided
initial dilution is at a premium to steady state multiple
As the following analyses show, in the absence of overinvestment into retail liability
sourcing or concentrated pursuit of any particular retail asset class, banking licensedoes look attractive for IDFC. In the absence of forbearance on priority sector
requirements its 5th year RoE is 18.2% vs 14-15% now. With lowered CoE, we arguefor a steady state P/B of 1.5x which is significantly higher than current core multiple of
0.85x. However, the big proviso to the banking license being beneficial is that if 60%dilution is indeed achieved by the third year, the valuation multiple has to be at a
premium to the steady state multiple of 1.5x. If the pre-money multiple is 1.5x (in line
with what we feel can be steady state), IRR achieved over 12 years will be sub-par at7% (vs 19.8% possible in a no dilution scenario). However, only a 25% premium tothis valuation will lead to 10.4% IRR over the same period. The reason we say the
license is beneficial for IDFC is because we feel diluting 60% in 3 years may prove
difficult in real life in the absence of strategic investors who in any case will probably
be more amenable to a premium.
General observations
The company remains one of the crowd favourites to receive a new banking licensegiven its strong corporate governance track record, professional management
structure and marginal co-mingling risks with non-lending business activities.

Likely asset-liability strategy
Amongst all the companies we analyse in here, IDFC is likely to be least retail
focused in our opinion. We expect branch numbers to go up to 25-30 from 4 currentlyat the outset but do not feel they would try to invest very heavily into an already
crowded retail market. On the assets side, their natural diversification will be into non-
infra sectors of corporate lending and into the SME financing space.

On the liabilities side, savings account money will be difficult in our opinion as it is not
a name with high recall amongst the general Indian populace despite being well
known in financial markets. Garnering current account deposits may be a marginallybetter bet if it rolls out cash management services through the new branches given its
strong corporate relationships. However, total CASA is unlikely to be of sizeconsequence in our opinion. It will most likely remain a wholesale funded wholesale
lending bank.Chart 12: Asset pie (Dec-13) Chart 13: Liabil ity pie (Dec-13)

Priority sector capabilities
A sparse branch network means that priority sector assets may be hard to come by
and accordingly Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) proportion will remain
high. Some export credit seems its best bet for priority sector asset origination. We
have not assumed benefits from buying of securitized assets.
Branch reach and drag of mandatory rural branches
For IDFC, we feel the drag of setting up new branches in rural areas will not be large,as it has only four branches at present. As an example, even if it sets up 20 more
branches in key Indian cities, incrementally it will need to set up eight rural branches,
which on a cumulative absolute cost basis is unlikely to make a dent on its businessreturns.
Implications for balance sheet structure
If the banking guidelines are to be complied with in exactitude, the company will have
to roughly double its balance sheet size. The argument is as follows. Currently, 82%of IDFC’s balance sheet is infrastructure loans, none of which will qualify as priority
sector lending which needs to be 40% of ANBC i.e. 29.2% of balance sheet if weassume exactly 23% SLR and 4% CRR (NCD assumed to qualify for SLR or to be
replaced by funds with SLR requirement, and assets used as a proxy for debt for thisindicative calculation). Thus, non-priority ANBC cannot be more than ~44% of total
balance sheet size vs. 82% currently. We assume all-debt funded balance sheet
expansion.

Key execution risks
The key execution risk in IDFC’s banking business will come if there is over-
investment in building a branch/ATM network for retail or if there is aggressive pursuitof any particular kind of retail assets. We see the probability of success in theseventures to be limited given current strengths.
RoE tree for five years post inception, with and without forbearance
In our calculation of probable RoE scale-up in 5 years from inception, ourassumptions are conservative and guided by the previous discussion on the
company’s likely strategies, strengths and limitations. As expected RoE in year 1drops to 9.3% but recovers to 18.2% by year 5 (vs 14-15% that the current businessmodel allows).

We have also provided a case where the deployment into RIDF is 10% (as % of

Dilution requirements reduce attractiveness of proposition
Based on the steady state RoE of ~18%, we feel steady state P/BVPS multiple for the
bank could be 1.5x (lower than a similar RoE retail bank). The following chart
illustrates the impact of the mandatory dilution requirements at the 3, 10, 12 yearpoints since bank operation commencement on the IRR for a current shareholder ofIDFC (assuming P/B multiple stays same as current until conversion). The two later
dilutions are assumed to be at the steady state multiple while the initial dilution is
assumed at three alternative multiples – steady state, a 25% discount and a 25%premium. These are compared with possible IRR in a no dilution requirement scenario
to show the impact of dilution requirements on the bank license attractiveness. Notethat we do not build in a holding company discount. We see that the dilutionrequirements have a disproportionate impact on IRR expectations of the shareholder
as an attractive IRR of 19.8% (in a no dilution scenario) becomes only 7% if the
dilution norms are followed in exactitude in the base case. Also, note that the multipleused for the first dilution is critical, because if it is done at a 25% premium to the
steady state multiple, the IRR improves to 10.4%.

potential strengths cloud prospects
As the following analyses show, banking license is not so attractive for LIC Housing
Finance due to decrease in sustainable RoE (17.3% in 5th year vs 19-20% possibleunder current business model). However, the decrease in cost of equity due to shiftinto a banking model is going be much lesser than other players as the business
model is already very low risk. We argue for a steady state P/B of 2.0x due to highconcentration of low risk retail assets. However, the IRR looks attractive at 11.8% dueto current depressed valuations at 1.3x P/BVPS. Banking license thus is no clear
positive for the company, in the absence of assumptions that support a strong SAperformance.
General observations
LIC Housing Finance should have been by default the best bet for a low cost deposit
franchise given its brand recall and trust in India. However, weak execution on fixeddeposits introduces many doubts into that thesis playing through.

Likely asset-liability strategy
On retail assets, mortgages are likely to remain the key component in the foreseeablefuture. The parent’s employee, agent and customer ecosystem in itself should be a
ready source of new loan origination and there should be some opportunity todiversify as well into educational loans, auto loans etc. In its current business,wholesale lending component has become very low. We feel the company is unlikelyto become focused on wholesale lending in its new avatar as well if it does receive the
banking license.
Ideally, given the reach of its parent, LIC Housing Finance should be one of thefavourites to carve out a large chunk of the SA pie. However, the same argument
should have applied to its current business as well, where deposits as a source of
Drop in sustainable
RoE, notcompensated bycommensurate CoEreduction, as current
business model isalso low risk

funds remains extremely small compared to its peer HDFC (1% vs 32%). While LIC
Housing in now directed some focus towards this area we find it difficult to be very
optimistic on what should legitimately be a huge strength due to its track record.

Priority sector capabilities
The company will be better placed than many other banks for sourcing priority sector
assets and we expect it to be almost completely self-sufficient if one ignores the sub-classifications within priority sector stipulations.
Branch reach and drag of mandatory rural branches
It has 225 branches and due to none of them qualifying in the less than 10,000
population location category, incremental addition of low population branches will be
at least 75. This will increase operating costs by 10bps as a percentage of loans on
existing 40bps (branch costs are low). We assume very little contribution from suchbranches.

Implications for balance sheet structure
LIC Housing Finance is currently almost self sufficient on priority sector assets (if sub-
classifications) are ignored with roughly 35% of loans being compliant currently. Forthis reason balance sheet expansion on conversion into a bank will be only onaccount of SLR and CRR. However, with current leverage at close to 11x, in the
absence of a capital raise, it will have to go up to ~15x for compliance with SLR and
CRR. We have assumed a steady state leverage of 14x in our calculation whichshould be possible due to lower risk weights on mortgages.
Key execution risks
The key risks for LIC Housing Finance, in its conversion into a bank are likely to be
• Higher than expected wholesale lending business. Its past track record does not
inspire much confidence in us.
• Underperformance of expectations on saving account money, especially ifaccompanied by overinvestment in retail infrastructure
• Foray into specialized retail asset classes like SME and CV loans
• Any major foray into unsecured loans
• Execution risks with respect to ALM management and treasury products and
operations. The scope for a big slip-up that could significantly dent profitability or
threaten stability is much larger with the product design flexibility of a bank than asa housing finance company.
RoE tree for five years post inception, with and without forbearance
In our calculation of probable RoE scale-up in 5 years from inception, ourassumptions are conservative and guided by the previous discussion on the
company’s likely strategies, strengths and limitations. As expected RoE in year 1drops to 11.6% but recovers to 17.3% by year 5 (vs 19.6% that the current businessmodel allows).

Dilution requirements reduce attractiveness of proposition
Based on the steady state RoE, we feel a steady state P/BVPS multiple for the bankcould be 2.0x (given strong retail presence and potential for CASA). The followingchart illustrates the impact of the mandatory dilution requirements at the 3, 10, 12
year points since bank operation commencement on the IRR for a current shareholderof LIC Housing Finance (assuming P/B multiple stays same as current until
conversion). The two later dilutions are assumed to be at the steady state multiple
while the initial dilution is assumed at three alternative multiples – steady state, a 25%discount and a 25% premium. These are compared with possible IRR in a no dilution
requirement scenario to show the impact of dilution requirements on the bank licenseattractiveness. Note that we do not build in a holding company discount. The 12 year
IRR with dilution looks healthy at 11.8% for the base case but the no-dilution IRR of20.3% highlights the value destruction from the dilution. From a pure business model
perspective the license is not emerging as a big value-add as it reduces sustainablereturn on equity in the absence of strong performance in low cost deposits.

Muthoot Finance (MUTH IN, Mcap – US$1bn, BUY)
Conclusion from our scenario analysis – a massive re-orientation
exercise wil l be a big drag
As the following analyses show, banking license is not so attractive for Muthoot
Finance due to decrease in sustainable RoE (13.2% in 5th year vs 19-20% possibleunder current business model). With lowered CoE (very significant for this particular
applicant in our opinion), we argue for a steady state P/B of 1.5x due to highconcentration of low risk retail assets. In the absence of forbearance on priority sector
requirements the IRR for a current shareholder is low at 2.3%, on the back of currentvaluations at 1.2x P/BVPS. Banking license thus is no clear positive for the company,
in the absence of assumptions that support a strong SA performance or serious
diversification and priority sector asset sourcing, starting virtually from scratch.
General observations
Muthoot Finance, as a gold finance NBFC, has been at the eye of a regulatory storm
since 2011. The highly branch intensive gold loan business model is not a naturalcandidate for conversion into a multi-product bank in our opinion although its ability to
serve the purpose of financial inclusion is extremely high. The reason we say this is
because this highly specialized business (where credit underwriting is purely a matterof verification of gold purity) does not prepare the organization for the myriadchallenges that a diversified product suite offers.

Likely asset-liability strategy
Muthoot Finance in all fairness is seen as a low probability contestant in this race for
the license in our opinion. Its relative newness in the institutional mainstream and theregulatory approach to gold loan NBFCs, is likely to go against it. However, if it is arecipient we feel the company will find it difficult to shift its portfolio mix away from
gold loans. Any other loan product, retail or wholesale will be pretty much a Greenfieldeffort.

On the liabilities side, current account money is likely to be extremely difficult to come
by. However, we see some hope for SA money based on the fact that the company
was a major user of branch level on-tap NCDs (before it was stopped by RBI fiat) thatthe regulator has called surrogate deposits. Clearly its name has recall and trust
amongst a certain investor set (especially in Kerala) who will remain the core targetgroup for savings accounts. Also, the current borrowing costs for the company are
high and even bulk deposits will offer a big saving on interest costs.

Priority sector capabilities
Priority sector assets are going to be a challenge as well as gold loans will not qualify
without agriculturalist certification for borrower.
Branch reach and drag of mandatory rural branches
It has ~4,200 branches and reasonable amount of rural presence. We expectoperating cost drag to be less than other players on this count but to an extentnegated by the fact that most costs are branch related and assume first year
cost/AUM to be 5.5% vs 4.5% now.
Implications for balance sheet structure
Muthoot Finance currently has a leverage of 5.8x. For this reason balance sheet
expansion on conversion into a bank will be on account of SLR/ CRR and balancedeployment into RIDF. In the absence of a capital raise, it will have to go up to ~10xfor compliance. We have assumed a steady state leverage of 13x in our calculation.
Key execution risks
The execution risks for the company are huge as it will have to revamp its entire
lending business model from scratch and simultaneously undergo large scale branch
expansion investments. If the savings account inflows are lower than expected, thebreathing room would be even less. Also, unless they can tweak their disbursementprocess to classify some gold loans as agricultural or SME loans, getting priority
sector assets will also be a challenge.

Dilution requirements reduce attractiveness of proposition
Based on the steady state RoE of 13.2%, we feel a steady state P/BVPS multiple forthe bank could be 1.5x. The following chart illustrates the impact of the mandatorydilution requirements at the 3, 10, 12 year points since bank operation
commencement on the IRR for a current shareholder of Muthoot Finance (assumingP/B multiple stays same as current until conversion). The two later dilutions are
assumed to be at the steady state multiple while the initial dilution is assumed at three
alternative multiples – steady state, a 25% discount and a 25% premium. These arecompared with possible IRR in a no dilution requirement scenario to show the impact
of dilution requirements on the bank license attractiveness. Note that we do not buildin a holding company discount. The 12 year IRR with dilution looks really low at 2.3%
for the base case but the no-dilution IRR of 14.4% is reasonable compared to manyother applicants. From a pure business model perspective the license is not emerging
as a big value-add as it reduces sustainable return on equity due to serious operatingcost implications and drag of RIDF deployment. The fact that sustainable P/BVPS of1.5x post bank conversion is close to current P/BVPS of 1.2x further impacts IRR to
current shareholder.

Shriram City Union Finance (SCUF IN, Mcap – US$1.0bn,REDUCE, TP- Rs1,000)
Conclusion from our scenario analysis – unlikely recipient due to
condi tional application, could be a blessing in disguise
As the following analyses show, the banking license is no unequivocal positive forShriram City Union Finance. In the absence of forbearance on priority sectorrequirements its 5th year RoE is 16.8% vs ~20% now. With lowered CoE, we arguefor a steady state P/B of 1.8x which is same as current multiple. If 60% dilution is
indeed achieved by the third year at the steady state multiple of 1.8x, IRR achieved
over 12 years will be sub-par at 6% (vs 15.7% possible in a no dilution scenario).Thus the banking license is not a clear blessing for the company, despite strong
priority sector strengths.
General observations
Shriram Capital, the promoter company of both key Shriram group NBFCs, Shriram
Transport Finance (SHTF IN, BUY, TP-Rs880) and Shriram City Union Finance(SCUF), has applied for a banking license. The CEO of Shriram City Union Finance,Mr Sundararajan has gone on record stating that in the group’s interpretation of theguidelines, Shriram Transport Finance can exist as an independent entity in its
business and their application is specific to transfer of all lending businesses ex- theflagship SHTF into the bank i.e. Shriram City Union Finance. All other businesses like
insurance will be step down subsidiaries of the NOFHC.
In our interpretation of the guidelines, we feel the RBI asks for all lending businessesto be transferred to the bank. Hence, we feel it is very unlikely that SCUF will be the
recipient of a license. The group remains very committed to its view that the business
of Shriram Transport Finance is difficult to fit into the ambit of a bank’s operations. We
are sympathetic to this view, as we see the following issues
• Bank funding is a large part of liabilities and refinance at one go will be difficult/painful
• Close to 70% of the business is in cash
• The need for intensive collection efforts that extend to the customer’ doorstep or
the nearest freight collection point does not fit well into a generic branch’soperating model
• The salary cost per employee is much lower than banks and industry
benchmarking will impact the lucre of the business model
• Constant monitoring of asset valuations needs a focused and specialized fieldforce
• In a way, the company also acts as a go-between for transactions between
interested buyers and sellers of used commercial vehicles. The Automall outletsare testimony to this strategy. This provides a critical exit point for borrowers who
are likely seeing some stress in their business and would like to exit the asset.This exercise may become difficult in a banking architecture.
No clear gain frombanking license

Priority sector capabilities
Priority sector is going to be a major strength for the company with both internalgeneration capability and a ready source from its sister company Shriram TransportFinance.
Branch reach and drag of mandatory rural branches
The company already has ~15% branches in the less than 10,000 population locationcategory and thereby better positioned than most on this count. However, the fact
also remains that most operating costs are branch related. We expect current 4.3%cost/ AUM to up by 120bps on first year of conversion. Sharing of manpower orinfrastructure with Shriram Chits will have to stop, and will need some fresh
investments.
Implications for balance sheet structure
If the banking guidelines are to be complied with in exactitude, the company will have
to increase leverage to 10x in the first year from 7x effective leverage now, as the onlyincremental investment is SLR/CRR with the company being self-sufficient on prioritysector assets.
Key execution risks
We feel that the risk of the company to over-stretch investment in branchinfrastructure is low (although the number will be high) as it will have to make large
investments in any case. Negative surprises can come from targeting products withlimited current experience – large scale corporate and infrastructure loans, which isunlikely in our opinion.
RoE tree for five years post inception
In our calculation of probable RoE scale-up in 5 years from inception, ourassumptions are conservative and guided by the previous discussion on the
company’s likely strategies, strengths and limitations. RoE in year 2 drops to 11.9%
but recovers to 16.8% by year 5 (vs 20% that the current business model allows).

Mortgages a difficult game for low CASA banks
The large secular growth opportunity and low asset quality concerns of the housingfinance segment have attracted most large lenders of consequence in India to it. The
players can be classified into three broad categories – scheduled commercial banks
(SCB), housing finance companies (HFC) and cooperative & regional rural banks(RRB).

Apart from few niche opportunities, housing finance remains a pretty modest spread
business with current yields hovering between 10.25-11.25% for incremental loanswith the possibility of 25-50bps extra earnings on the existing book. State Bank of
India, because of its extensive CASA franchise-driven low cost of funds, remains themarginal price setter in the market. Amongst the banks, SBI, ICICI Bank, Axis Bankand PNB are large players while HDFC and LIC Housing Finance (LICHF) are the key
housing finance players.

CV loans in a vicious cyclical downturn – need specialized skills
in the best of times
The commercial vehicle (CV) segment in India grew at a CAGR of 15.3% duringFY03-FY13, primarily driven by the light commercial vehicles (LCVs) sub-segment.
This is a reflection of the overall healthy economic momentum during this period,
leading to higher passenger traffic, freight movement and construction-relatedactivities. Restrictions on movement of heavy vehicles in many cities have also aidedthe growth of LCVs. There is no doubt that the long term opportunity is large.

However, the situation has been very challenging in the past 2 years. The medium
and heavy commercial vehicle (M&HCV) sub-segment has witnessed a slump duringthis time (especially FY13-14) given the material deceleration in GDP, mining ban in
Karnataka and Goa, and slump in construction activities across the country. Off late,
the only bastion of relative strength LCVs, has also cracked with sales numbers inQ3FY14 dropping.

The key stress points from the loan point of view are,
• Resale values have dropped significantly with price discount for a 2-year oldvehicle dropping 50%+ in some cases (high tonnages). This creates moral hazard
for the borrower as on an asset mark-to-market basis, his equity becomes small.
• Freight utilization levels have remained low as economic activity has stalled. The
bigger the vehicle, as a rule of thumb, worse has been the situation.
• Freight rates have not kept pace with diesel price hikes, especially on busyindustrial routes
• LTV has remained high, compounding moral hazard issues for the borrower

While the cyclical stress will reduce in time, the asset class in itself presents unique
challenges.
• Continuous need for asset valuation & monitoring
• At the point of origination, registration needs to be verified for no encumbrance
• Pricing and LTV tends to get aggressive in good times, creating opportunity forlarge stress in a downturn
• Incumbent NBFCs and few banks have large market share and significantcustomer reach supported by specialized skills

Two-wheeler sales Annual growth (RHS)
Source: SIAM, I-Sec research
The growth outlook for the sector remains intact in the medium and long term, themain drivers being:
• Enhanced impetus on the rural economy by the Union Government and other
stakeholders. Budgetary support to socio-economic programmes like MGNREGSremains high and there seems to be a renewed focus on the agriculture sector.The Planning Commission envisages 4.0% annual growth in agri-output during the
12th five year plan (2012-17).
• Increasing dealer network in the rural and semi-urban hinterland coupled withaggressive roll-out of new products at competitive prices.
• Innovative financing schemes by NBFCs like direct cash collection
• Rural sales have contributed approx. 40% of the total domestic sales in the lastcouple of years and are expected to increase going forward. Overall, key theme inthe sector would revolve around tapping the unexplored rural market andincreasing penetration in urban areas primarily via product launches. For example,
after stagnating for many years the scooter market has started to look up again
especially in the more urbane market. One point of caution for the typical bank
loan product in this segment is upfront dealer incentives of 4-5%, which skew theloan economics despite high yields.

Unsecured lending business in its infancy in India, awaiting largescale proof of concept
Credit cards loans comprise just 0.5% of total bank loans or 2.4% of retail loans forthe banking system (as of Dec-13), with the private sector and foreign banks (themajor players) going cautious on this segment post the financial crisis of 2008. During
FY07-08, outstanding credit card loans more than doubled given the economicmomentum and has slowed down considerably since then with spiking of credit costsand risk aversion on part of the larger players. Some of the prominent foreign players
such as Deutsche Bank have completely exited this segment. Having burnt theirfingers, banks have tightened their risk management systems with preference forexisting customers with savings accounts. Access to CIBIL scores have also helped
significantly in new customer acquisition and some of the new generation banks suchas IndusInd are aggressively building their market share in the segment.
Personal loans as a product has been growing at a fair clip, growing at a CAGR of14.3% since FY09 in a period when credit card outstanding actually declined 12.9%.
CIBIL has played a critical role in greater acceptance for this product from the banking
system.

Education loans – a policy focus
Education loans comprised 1.1% of total bank credit or 5.9% of personal loans as ofDec-13 and since FY07 have grown at a CAGR of 22.5%. Traditionally, public sectorsbanks have been the most prominent players in this segment given their focus oninclusive banking and well established presence in the hinterland. Loans uptoRs0.4mn are classified as priority sector lending (PSL) and comprises ~96% of the
total outstanding education loans (as of Dec-13). Such loans do not require anysecurity with the parent classified as a joint borrower. SBI is the market leader ineducation loans with share of ~25% followed by Punjab National Bank at 7.1%.
An uncertain job market of the last few years, along with steep rise in educationrelated expenses (with salary levels stagnating) has meant that delinquencies in thissegment are rising. In the FY14-15 interim budget, the Govt. of India has announceda moratorium for all education loans taken upto March 31, 2009 and outstanding ason Dec 31, 2013. GoI will take over the liability for outstanding interest as onDecember 1, 2013, with the borrower paying interest for the period after January 1,2014. This move is expected to benefit ~0.9mn borrowers and the liability on thegovernment would be around Rs26bn.

Gold loans – not a natural product for banks given ticket sizeand operational requirements
The concept of loan against gold was largely present in South India and was driven bymoney lenders, NBFCs and select regional banks till late 2008 when the three large
NBFCs – Manappuram, Muthoot Finance and Muthoot Fincorp entered into a pan-
India expansion spree. While easy availability of funding through the securitisation
route was the key catalyst, low-cost operating models also helped in hectic branchexpansion across the country. This was followed by strong media campaigns withpopular brand ambassadors with the primary aim of positioning gold as a readysource of liquidity and implicitly attacking the stigma attached to pledging gold.
While South-based banks upped the ante by competing aggressively in the gold-loanspace, most large banks considered it as an operationally difficult business till asrecent as 2012 – key deterrents being low ticket sizes and elaborate operating
requirements in the form of requiring a valuation expert, having a strong-room and

handling cash. The strong overall growth and low credit costs prompted the large pan-
India banks to look at lending against gold as a growth area. While SBI, PNB, Axis
Bank and other large players primarily saw it as a secured route to achieve theiragriculture lending targets, HDFC Bank started growing its gold-loan business
aggressively over 2011-12.
Over the past 2 years, a host of private sector banks have started disbursing loansagainst gold as a retail product. Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, ING Vysya Bank, Yes
Bank and ICICI Bank are the key players to have announced the launch of thisproduct. For most of them, it is a phased launch, wherein the product has beenlaunched in select branches, especially in the metros.
With specialized NBFCs LTV competitive once again, we feel that beyond a certainbalance sheet size, this product cannot form a large part of a commercial bank onaccount of operational intensiveness and ticket size related constraints.
