    RESULTS REVIEW 3QFY16 18 JAN 2016

    LIC Housing FinanceBUY

    Steady as everLIC Housing Finances (LICHF) 3Q core earnings beat

    was driven by steady NIM and loan growth. With

    higher competition, individual loan repayments were

    at a multi-quarter high. Rising proportion of high-

    yielding LAP and project finance, along with the

    decline in CoF, supported steady spread/NIM. While

    project loan disbursements continued their steady

    run, the growth in individual loans was led by the

    LAP segment. Asset quality, too, remained stable.

    LICHFs focus on high-yielding LAP and project loans,

    coupled with the fall in CoF, augur well for spreads.

    However, given the rising competition (sharp base

    rate reductions by banks), we have further

    moderated our NIM expectations to ~2.4% vs. 2.5%

    and book growth to ~16% CAGR vs. ~17%. Maintain

    BUY with a revised TP of Rs 550 (2.4x 1-year forward

    ABV of Rs 229).

    Key takeaways

    Slower Individual disbursements (12% YoY; ex LAP

    at ~7% YoY) and higher repayments (4.4%) led to

    individual loan growth of ~15% (vs. our estimate of

    ~16%). The high-yielding LAP portfolio grew ~17%

    QoQ to form ~6.4%, and the project finance grew

    ~3% QoQ to ~2.6%. With rising competition, we

    have lowered loan growth assumption to ~16%

    CAGR vs. 17.5% over FY15-18E.

    Decline in interest rates and shift in borrowing mixled to 11bps decline in CoF. Despite rising

    proportion of high-yielding loans, yields declined

    ~12bps QoQ, led by ~30bps reduction in PLR. This

    lead to stable spread/NIM of ~1.57/2.58%.

    While the continued decline in interest rates and

    focus towards high-yielding loans will benefit

    LICHF, we believe the competition will keep

    yields under pressure. We lower NIM estimates

    to 2.4% vs. 2.5% (earlier) over FY15-18E.

    LIC HOUSING FINANCE : RESULTS REVIEW 3QFY16

    Asset quality remained stable over the past three

    quarters with G/NNPA at 0.58/0.32% to Rs 6.8bn.

    Individual GNPAs (Rs 3.65bn) marginally declined

    to 32bps vs. 33bps. Project loans GNPAs, too,

    were flat QoQ at Rs 3.2bn (10.2% of projectloans). Provisions cost jumped ~15% QoQ to Rs

    344mn led by higher std. assets provisions

    (towards LAP and project loan segments) and

    shift in NPL buckets.

    We expect LICHFs NII to grow at 18% CAGR over

    FY15-18E, driven by loan growth of ~16% CAGR

    and avg. NIM of 2.4% (vs. 2.2% in FY15). With

    rising provisions cost (std. assets related and

    base effect), we expect PAT to grow at ~15%CAGR. LICHFs return ratios are expected to

    remain stable with RoA of ~1.5% and RoE of

    ~19%.
