HDFC Bank reported a healthy earnings performance for 1QFY2016, with a bottom-line growth of 20.7% yoy to Rs2,696cr. Its NII grew by 23.5% yoy, aided by a 22.4% yoy growth in advances. Advances grow strongly; Asset quality remains healthy: During 1QFY2016, the loan book grew by 22.4% yoy, led by 24.6% yoy growth in the retail book. As a result, the retail contribution improved to 49% of total loans. Within retail, credit cards, personal loans and home loans grew by 27.1%, 34.3% and 37.4% yoy, respectively. Auto loans continued to grow at a healthy rate due to pick up in underlying growth and with the bank gaining market share in this segment, while CV/CE saw a growth mainly on account of replacement demand. Going forward, the bank is well positioned to grow faster than the industry due to branch addition and increase in distribution network. Savings and current deposits went up by 18.3% and 23.1% yoy, respectively; however growth in term deposits, both retail as well as wholesale, was much faster. As a result, the CASA ratio fell by 337bp yoy to 39.6% as of 1QFY2016, while the NIM came off slightly by 6bp qoq at 4.34%. The bank’s non-interest income (excluding treasury) grew by 28% yoy, with fee income growth of 21.8% yoy. Fee income growth was healthy with pick up in other wholesale and retail products, while third party products were lackluster due to the seasonality factor. The bank booked profit of Rs70cr on sale of debt units, which led to the profit on sale of investments coming in at Rs126cr in 1QFY2016 (vs Rs25cr in 1QFY2015). On the asset quality front, the Gross NPA ratio went up by 5bp qoq to 0.95%, while the Net NPA ratio went up by 7bp qoq to 0.3%. The bank has created floating provision of Rs65cr; the Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR) increased by 188bps yoy to 71.9% in 1QFY2016. Restructured advances remained steady at ~0.1% of gross advances. Outlook and valuation: Though the current earnings trajectory at 20%+ yoy is lower than its illustrious track record of 30%+ earnings growth, still in light of the current macro environment, it is impressive. Going forward, a likely economic recovery would reflect in higher loan growth, which in our view, justifies a premium valuation multiple. At the current market price, the bank is trading at 3.3x FY2017E ABV. We recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock, with a target price of Rs1,255.
