Key Takeaways
Core essence:The housing finance business is likely to grow at a CAGR of 20-25%
over the next 10 years; RoE would improve by at least 100bp every year. Subsidiaries
will contribute significantly to growth now.
Industry insights
 Inflation remains high. RBI is likely to increase rates by at least 25bp. Growth continues
to be strong in rural areas and metros (except Mumbai).
 HDFC remains optimistic about demand for housing finance. India's mortgage to
GDP ratio is 9% as against 80%+ in other developed countries like UK and USA.
 The key growth drivers are: (1) higher affordability due to increase in disposable
income - the average house value has declined from 22x annual income in 1995 to
4.8x in 2011, (2) rising urbanization - to increase from ~31% in 2011 to 40% by
2030, and (3) favorable demographics - average age of home buyers is 35 years,
and currently, ~60% of India's population is below the age of 30 years.
 Government statistics place current housing shortage in India at 25m units (14m
units in rural and 10.6m in urban areas).
Company vision and strategy
 HDFC maintains standard of income based lending, thereby cancelling out exposure
to volatility in real estate prices.
 On AUM basis, company will keep individual loans to corporate loans ratio at 70:30.
Owned branches and affiliates will continue to be a dominant source for loan growth
(currently contributing 92%).
 HDFC will continue to maintain flexibility on the borrowing side. In a rising interest
rate and tight liquidity scenario, retail deposits remain a key funding source. Flexibility
in funding sources helps HDFC to maintain spreads in a band of 2.15-2.35%.
 HDFC plans to improve RoE by ~100bp every year.
Key triggers/milestones/challenges
 Improving profitability from asset management and insurance businesses will be
key to long-term profitability.
 Listing of insurance arm is an important trigger to unlock value, though this is unlikely
in the near term.
 Margins will sustain in the traditional range of 2.15-2.25%.
 While standalone earnings will continue to grow at around 20%, consolidated
earnings growth will be even higher.
