Key Takeaways
IndusInd Bank to sustain margins above the industry
 High interest rates and moderation in economic growth are likely to see systemic
credit growth decelerating to 17-18%. While some new projects have been deferred,
the pull in working capital is strong.
 IndusInd Bank's (IIB) management expects to leverage its niche expertise and on a
lower base expects loan growth to be ~25%.
 While there has been some moderation in demand in the new CV segment, IIB has
tried to de-risk its growth by incrementally lending in the used CV segment (4-5
years old), where demand is strong.
 Higher working capital requirement and the consumer finance segment are expected
to drive FY12 loan growth. The management intends to increase its consumer finance
book to ~50% from ~45% in 1QFY12.
Margins to moderate in 2QFY12
 A sharp rise in the cost of deposits (+68bp QoQ) led to a 10bp decline in reported
margins to 3.4%.
 The management expects margins to remain under pressure in 2QFY12 as the lag
impact of deposit re-pricing continues. However stabilization in the cost of deposits
and continuous re-pricing of loans will keep margins stable/ improving in 2HFY12.
Asset quality to remain healthy
 1QFY12 annualized slippage ratio was ~1.1% against ~0.9% in FY11. Higher
slippages came from the consumer finance division segment, where slippage ratio
was 1.96%.
 The management stated that its strategy of keeping away from stress sectors like
unsecured retail, real estate, textiles and white goods has put it in a comfortable
position as far as delinquencies were concerned.
 While stress at the lower end of the SME segment is visible, its exposure is largely
backed by collateral, which reduces the risk of default.
 IIB's exposure to the infrastructure segment is largely towards working capital
requirement (~90%) and to companies where the project is up and running, hence
there are no reasons for concern.
Valuation and view
 Superior margins, focused fee income strategy and control over C/I ratio will keep
core operating profitability strong. Improving liability franchise, structural
improvement in RoA and 25%+ asset growth should help IIB to post one of the
highest PAT growths (~28%) among banks under our coverage. The stock trades at
2.5x FY12E and 2.1x FY13E BV, and at 14.6x FY12E and 11.7x FY13E EPS. Buy.
