MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS

 

Macro-economic and Industry Developments

After witnessing a significant slowdown in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Indian economy bounced back impressively during the last financial year. The inherently strong domestic consumption combined with both the monetary and fiscal stimuli measures undertaken by the government and other policy authorities over the past year helped the economy shrug off the overhang of weak exports and global headwinds. GDP growth is estimated to be around 7.2% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as against 6.7% for the year ended March 31, 2009. While a large share of growth in the last financial year could be attributed to government spending, private consumption and investment also picked up quite sharply, which put to rest any concerns on the sustainability of the domestic recovery. While government spending was likely to have grown by 8.2% last year, private consumption growth is expected to have been at around 4.6 % from a low of 1.7% exhibited in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Private investment growth is also expected to have recovered to 5.2% from 4% a year ago.

 

In terms of the sectoral composition of growth, the industrial sector was the clear driver of this recovery, growing by 10% in the last financial year from 2.8% a year ago. While the revival in industrial growth was led by a pick-up in consumer durables, other industrial sectors such as basic goods, intermediate goods and more importantly capital goods also gathered momentum, collectively pointing to the broad-basing of industrial recovery.

 

Service sector growth was dominated by community, social and personal services reflecting increased government expenditure. However, private services such as trade, transport and communication gathered pace and are likely to keep the service sector growth strong through the next financial year. Overall, service sector growth was estimated at 8.5% in the last fiscal year as against 9.7% a year ago while private services are estimated to have recovered from a growth rate of 8.4% in the year ended March 31, 2009 to 8.9% in the last fiscal year.

 

Perhaps the most visible dimension of the robustness of the ongoing recovery was the fact that the economy successfully weathered a drought. While the agricultural output is expected to have contracted by about 0.6% last year, non-agricultural GDP is slated to have grown by 9% against 7.7% a year ago. Much of this decoupling between the agricultural and industrial growth was attributable to a more fundamental diversification of the rural economy away from farming activities and the increasing role of small scale industry in broadening the rural income base. Additionally, fiscal support measures such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) also played a crucial role in providing a safety net to small farmers and agricultural workers.

 

Apart from fiscal stimulus efforts amounting to nearly 2% of GDP, an accommodative monetary policy stance also played an important role in supporting economic recovery. Policy rates were eased by an average of 275-400 basis points (one basis point = 0.01%) while average lending rates of banks fell by close to 275 basis points since the onset of the crisis. Easy monetary conditions meant that short-term rates fell sharply. After spiking up to a high of 20% in October 2008, the overnight call money rates eased to 3-4%, indicating very comfortable domestic liquidity conditions. Monetary accommodation was especially important in helping the economy absorb a hefty government borrowing program during the last fiscal year which ensured that pressure on government bond yields remained muted.

 

Despite a decline in effective lending rates, system credit growth remained subdued over the year with some signs of a pick-up in the growth rates in the last quarter of the year. After reaching a system loan growth rate of 17% in the financial year ended March 31, 2009, credit growth plummeted to 10% in October 2009. Some recovery in this growth was witnessed on the back of increased demand for term lending and project financing which resulted in a pick up in credit growth to 16% as at March 2010. Infrastructure funding was a leading area of credit demand, contributing close to 60% of the incremental credit growth in the last financial year.

 

Inflation over the past year was largely driven by supply-side pressures on account of the drought and hence substantially confined to agricultural commodity prices. There were however emerging signs that inflation is getting more broad-based with private demand playing a role in pushing up prices of manufactured products. In February 2010 headline WPI inflation moved 9.9% alongside a pick-up in manufactured goods inflation to 7.4% from a low of -0.2% in July, 2009.

 

Both merchandise exports and imports recovered sharply at the end of the third quarter of the last fiscal year after the record slide seen over the two quarters prior to that. After falling sharply by 28% in the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, export orders increased by 13% at the end of the third quarter of the last financial year and by 34.8% in February 2010 driven by strong demand from both the Chinese and US economies. Domestic imports also rose sharply over the last few months driven by strong growth in the domestic industrial sector. In fact, the sharp rebound in the industrial sector resulted in an increase in non-oil imports, especially capital goods imports. More importantly, the rise in oil prices in the latter half of the financial year ended March 31, 2010 pushed up the total imports bill. The trade deficit in the financial year ended March 31, 2010 is estimated to have widened to USD 129 billion as against USD 118 billion in the previous year.

 

Recent data released by the RBI shows that the net invisibles component (software exports, private transfers, etc.) came in much weaker than expectations in the first three quarters of the financial year ended March 31, 2010. While private transfers grew by a relatively sedate 12% in this period, a muted growth in software exports and a decline in business services exports impacted net invisibles. Net invisibles were USD 59 billion as compared to USD 70 billion seen in the same period during the previous year. Going forward, although we do not expect the weakness in the net invisibles component to persist, we expect the current account deficit to widen driven primarily by the deterioration in trade balance.

 

Even though the current account deficit increased, the total balance of payments position remained comfortably placed as capital flows were fairly strong as compared to those in the prior year. Strong portfolio inflows due to the improvement in global risk appetite were the major contributors to the strong balance of payments position. Going forward, we expect the balance of payments position to remain in surplus this year as fund flows continue to remain strong.

 

The Indian equity markets rallied sharply during the last financial year due to the general improvement in global risk appetite. Global investors went from pricing in a severe recession to expecting a sharp rebound in the global economy and in the process pushed most equity markets higher. India ranked amongst the fastest growing economies in the world and benefited immensely during this phase.

 

Outlook

 

The Indian economy is likely to continue to outperform its global counterparts in the year ahead, growing by around 8% against an average world output growth of 3.9%. Investment and capacity expansion will be a crucial link in driving the recovery forward; buoyant domestic demand should help it absorb headwinds from rising interest rates and inflation. With private capex and infrastructure spending likely to gather ground, not only will the ongoing recovery sustain into the next financial year but will also translate into greater buoyancy in credit growth and stronger growth prospects for the banking sector in general. Focus on investment in the next fiscal year is likely to render India an attractive market that is well positioned to take advantage of both structural and cyclical gains while its strong domestic base is likely to limit the impact of external stress on growth dynamics and returns.

 

Mission and Business Strategy

 

The Bank’s mission is to be “a World Class Indian Bank”, benchmarking itself against international standards and best practices in terms of product offerings, technology, service levels, risk management and audit and compliance. The objective is to continue building sound customer franchises across distinct businesses so as to be a preferred provider of banking services for target retail and wholesale customer segments, and to achieve a healthy growth in profitability, consistent with the Bank’s risk appetite. The Bank is committed to do this while ensuring the highest levels of ethical standards, professional integrity, corporate governance and regulatory compliance.

 

The Bank’s business strategy emphasizes the following:

 

  • Increase its market share in India’s expanding banking and financial services industry by following a disciplined growth strategy focusing on balancing quality and volume growth while delivering high quality customer service;
  • Leverage its technology platform and open scaleable systems to deliver more products to more customers and to control operating costs;
  • Maintain high standards for asset quality through disciplined credit risk management;
  • Develop innovative products and services that attract its targeted customers and address inefficiencies in the Indian financial sector;
  • Continue to develop products and services that reduce its cost of funds; and
  • Focus on healthy earnings growth with low volatility.

 

Financial Performance:

 

The financial performance during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 remained healthy with total net revenues (net interest income plus other income) increasing by 14% to Rs. 121942.000 millions from Rs. 107118.000 millions in the previous financial year. Revenue growth was driven both by an increase in net interest income and other income. Net interest income grew by 13% primarily due to an increase in the average balance sheet size and an increase in full year net interest margins by 13 basis points to 4.3%.

 

Other income registered a growth of 15.7% over that in the previous year to Rs. 38076.000 millions in the financial year ended March 31, 2010. This growth was driven primarily by an increase in fees and commissions earned and income from foreign exchange and derivatives offset in part by lower bond gains than those in the previous financial year. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, commission income increased by 15.2% to Rs. 28306.000 millions with the main drivers being fees on debit and credit cards, transactional charges and fees on deposit accounts and processing fees on retail assets. Commissions from the distribution of third party insurance and mutual funds remained one of the major components of fees and commissions. Whilst the regulatory changes restricted the commissions payable to banks by mutual funds, the same was offset by higher distribution volumes. The Bank made a profit on the sale / revaluation of investments of Rs. 3451.000 millions during the year, almost 10% lower than that in the previous year as yields started moving up since the third quarter of the financial year ended March 31, 2010. Foreign exchange and derivatives revenues grew from Rs. 4405.000 millions in the previous financial year to Rs. 6232.000 millions in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

Operating (non-interest) expenses grew at a much lower pace than net revenues and increased from Rs. 55328.000 millions in the previous financial year to Rs. 57645.000 millions in the year under consideration. During the year the Bank opened over 300 new branches which resulted in higher infrastructure and staffing expenses. Due to the efforts of the Bank in areas of cost management and on improving overall productivity, coupled with revenue synergies with the network of the erstwhile Centurion Bank of Punjab, the ratio of operating cost to net revenues improved to 47.3%, from 51.7% in the previous year.

 

Loan loss provisions for non-performing assets and provisions for standard assets increased from Rs. 17263.000 millions to Rs. 19389.000 millions due to higher NPA formations during the first half of the financial year ended March 31, 2010. The incremental NPA formations subsequently came down in the second half of the year. The Bank’s provisioning policies for specific loan loss provisions remained higher than regulatory requirements. The NPA coverage ratio based on specific provisions was at 74.8% as on March 31, 2010. The Bank also provided Rs. 2010.000 millions towards floating provisions, contingent provisions for tax, legal and other contingencies. The Reserve Bank of India had reduced the general provisioning requirements for certain asset classes in May 2008, this reduced the requirements for general provisions for the Bank’s loan book. The Bank did not write back any of these provisions and continued to maintain the general provisions that were already created. As a result of the above, the requirement for general assets provisions was lower than what the Bank held on its books as on March 31, 2010 and the Bank did not have to may any additional general provisions for the increase in its loan book.

 

Net profit increased by 31% from Rs. 22450.000 millions in the previous financial year to Rs. 29487.000 millions in the year ended March 31, 2010. Return on average net worth was 16.8%. The Bank’s basic earning per share increased from Rs. 52.9 to Rs. 67.6 per equity share.

 

As at March 31, 2010, the Bank’s total balance sheet increased by 21% to Rs. 2224590.000 millions as against Rs. 1832710.000 millions as at March 31, 2009. Total Deposits increased 17% from Rs. 1428120.000 millions as on March 31, 2009 to Rs. 1674040.000 millions as on March 31, 2010. With Savings account deposits at Rs. 498770.000 millions and current account deposits at Rs. 372270.000 millions, demand (CASA) deposits were around 52% of total deposits as on March 31, 2010 higher than 44% at the end of the previous year. During the financial year ended March 31, 2010, gross advances grew by 27% to Rs. 1272620.000 millions. This was driven by a growth of 41% in wholesale advances to Rs. 549910.000 millions, and an increase of 18% in retail advances to Rs. 722710.000 millions. The growth in advances of the Bank have been significantly higher than the system credit growth which was approximately 17%.

 

Business Segments’ Update:

 

Consistent with its performance in the past, in the last financial year, the Bank has achieved healthy growth across various operating and financial parameters. This performance reflected the strength and diversity of the Bank’s three primary business franchises – retail banking, wholesale banking and treasury, and of its disciplined approach to risk-reward management.

 

Retail Banking

 

The Bank caters to various customer segments with a wide range of products and services. The Bank is a one stop shop financial services provider of various deposit products, of retail loans (auto loans, personal loans, commercial vehicle loans, mortgages, business banking etc.), credit cards, debit cards, depository (custody services), investment advisory, bill payments and several transactional services. Apart from its own products, the Bank sells third party financial products like mutual funds and insurance. The growth in your Bank’s retail banking business was robust during the financial year ended March 31, 2010. The Bank’s total retail deposits grew by over 14% to Rs. 1135270.000 millions in the financial year ended March 31, 2010, driven by retail savings balances which grew much faster at 44% during the same period. The Bank’s retail assets grew by 18% to Rs. 722710.000 millions during the financial year ended March 31, 2010 driven primarily by a growth in auto loans, mortgages, business banking and commercial vehicle loans.

 

Branch Banking

 

This year the Bank expanded its distribution network – from 1,412 branches in 528 cities as on March 31, 2009 to

1,725 branches in 779 cities on March 31, 2010. The Bank’s ATMs increased from 3,295 to 4,232 during the same period. The Bank’s branch network is deeply entrenched across the country with significant density in areas conducive to the growth of its businesses. The Bank’s focus on semi-urban and under banked markets continued, with 68% of the Bank’s branches now outside the top nine Indian cities. The Bank’s customer base grew in line with the growth in its network and increased product penetration initiatives, this currently stands at over 19 million customers. The average savings balance per account which is a good indicator of the strength of the Bank’s retail

liability franchise grew over 30%. The Bank continues to provide unique products and services with customer centricity a key objective.

 

In order to provide its customers increased choices, flexibility and convenience the Bank continued to make significant headway in its multi channel servicing strategy. The Bank offered its customers the use of ATMs, internet, phone and mobile banking in addition to its expanded branch network to serve their banking needs.

 

The increase in the Bank’s debit card base this year coupled with a growth in its ATM network translated to an increase in ATM transactions by 26%. The Bank also made strong inroads in its internet banking channel with around 21% of its registered customers now using net banking facilities for their banking requirements. The bank now offers phone banking in 778 locations in addition to giving its customers the convenience of accessing their bank accounts over their mobile phones. The success of the Bank’s multi-channel strategy is evidenced in the fact that almost 80% of customer initiated transactions are serviced through the non-branch channels.

 

Retail Assets

 

The Bank continued to grow at a healthy pace in almost all the retail loan products that it offers and further consolidated its position amongst the top retail lenders in India. The Bank grew its retail asset portfolio in a well balanced manner focusing on both returns as well as risk. While the Bank’s auto finance business remained a key business driver for its retail asset portfolio, other retail loan products exhibited robust growth rates and asset quality.

 

The Bank continued its focus on internal customers for its credit cards portfolio. Overall credit cards remained a profitable business for the Bank with over 4 million cards in force as at March 2010. As part of its strategy to drive usage of its credit cards the Bank also has a significant presence in the “merchant acquiring” business with the total number of point-of-sale (POS) terminals installed at over 90,000.

 

In addition to the above products the Bank does home loans in conjunction with HDFC Limited, under this arrangement the Bank sells loans provided by HDFC Limited. HDFC Limited approves and disburses the loans, which are booked in their books, the Bank is paid a sourcing fee for these loans. HDFC Limited offers the Bank upto 70% of the fully disbursed home loans sourced under this arrangement through either the issue of mortgage backed pass through certificates (PTCs) or by a direct assignment of loans; the balance is retained by HDFC Limited. Both the PTCs or the loans thus assigned are credit enhanced by HDFC Limited upto a AAA level. The Bank purchases these loans at the underlying home loan yields less a fee paid to HDFC Limited for the administration and servicing of the loans.

 

The Bank originated approximately an average Rs. 5000.000 millions of mortgages every month in the financial year ended March 31, 2010, a significant increase from the Rs. 4000.000 millions per month that the Bank originated in the previous year. During the year the bank also purchased from HDFC Limited. under the “loan assignment” route approximately Rs 48700.000 millions of AAA credit enhanced home loans which qualified as priority sector advances.

 

The Bank also distributes life and general insurance and mutual fund products through its tie-ups with insurance companies and mutual fund houses. The income from these businesses continued to demonstrate robust growth largely due to an expanded branch network and the increased penetration of the Bank’s managed portfolio despite the fact that during the year there were regulatory changes which in some cases impacted the commission paid by the manufacturers of these products to the Bank. The success in the distribution of the above products has been demonstrated with the growth in the Bank’s fee income. The Bank’s data warehouse, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and analytics solutions have helped it target existing and potential customers more effectively and cost effectively and offer them products appropriate to their profile and needs. Reduced costs of acquisition apart, this has also led to deepening of customer relationships and greater efficiency in fraud control and collections resulting in lower credit losses.

 

Wholesale Banking

 

The Bank provides its corporate and institutional clients a wide range of commercial and transactional banking products, backed by high quality service and relationship management. The Bank’s commercial banking business covers not only the top end of the corporate sector but also the emerging corporate segment and some small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Bank has a number of business groups catering to various segments of its wholesale banking customers with a wide range of banking services covering their working capital, term finance, trade services, cash management, foreign exchange and electronic banking requirements.

 

This business registered a healthy growth in the financial year ended March 31, 2010. The Bank’s wholesale deposits grew by around 24%, while wholesale advances showed a strong growth of over 40% both of which were significantly faster than the growth in the system during the same period. The Bank provides its customers both working capital and term financing. The Bank witnessed an increase in the proportion of its term lending even though working capital loans retained a large share of its wholesale advances. While the duration of the Bank’s term loans largely remained small to medium term, the Bank did witness an increase in its longer duration term loans, and project lending, including loans to the infrastructure segment.

 

During the financial year ended March 31, 2010, growth in the wholesale banking business continued to be driven by new customer acquisition and higher cross-sell with a focus on optimizing yields and increasing product penetration. The Bank’s cash management and vendor and distributor (supply chain) finance products continued to be an important contributor to growth in the corporate banking business. The Bank further consolidated its position as a leading player in the cash management business (covering all outstation collection, disbursement and electronic fund transfer products across the Bank’s various customer segments) with volumes growing to over Rs. 25 trillion. The Bank also strengthened its market leadership in cash settlement services for major stock exchanges and commodity exchanges in the country. The Bank met the overall priority sector lending requirement of 40% of net bank credit.

 

The Bank’s financial institutions and government business group (FIG) offers commercial and transaction banking

products to financial institutions, mutual funds, public sector undertakings, central and state government departments. The main focus for this segment remained offering various deposit and transaction banking products to this segment besides deepening these relationships by offering funded, non-funded treasury and foreign exchange products.

 

International Operations

 

The Bank has a wholesale banking branch in Bahrain and two representative offices in UAE and Kenya. The branch offers the Bank’s suite of banking services including treasury and trade finance products to its corporate clients. This branch has built up an asset book over USD 400 million since its opening in October 2008. The Bank offers wealth management products, remittance facilities and markets deposits to the Non-resident Indian community from its representative offices.

 

Treasury

 

The treasury group is responsible for compliance with reserve requirements and management of liquidity and interest rate risk on the Bank’s balance sheet. On the foreign exchange and derivatives front, revenues are driven primarily by spreads on customer transactions based on trade flows and customers’ hedging needs. During the financial year ended March 31, 2010, revenues from foreign exchange and derivative transactions grew by 41.5% to Rs. 6230.000 millions. These revenues were distributed across large corporate, emerging corporate, business banking and retail customer segments for plain vanilla foreign exchange products and across primarily large corporate and emerging corporate segments for derivatives. The Bank offers Indian rupee and foreign exchange derivative products to its customers, who use them to hedge their market risks. The Bank enters into foreign exchange and derivative deals with counterparties after it has set up appropriate counterparty credit limits based on its evaluation of the ability of the counterparty to meet its obligations in the event of crystallization of the exposure. Appropriate credit covenants may be stipulated where required as trigger events to call for collaterals or terminate a transaction and contain the risk. Where the Bank enters into foreign currency derivative contracts with its customers it lays hem off in the inter-bank market on a matched basis. For such foreign currency derivatives, the Bank does not have any open positions or assume any market risks but carries only the counterparty credit risk (where the customer has crystallized payables or mark-to-market losses). The Bank also deals in Indian rupee derivatives on its own account including for the purpose of its own balance sheet risk management. The Bank recognizes changes in the market value of all rupee derivative instruments (other than those designated as hedges) in the profit and loss account in the period of change. Rupee derivative contracts classified as hedge are recorded on an accrual basis.

 

Given the regulatory requirement of holding government securities to meet the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) requirement, the Bank maintains a portfolio of government securities. While a significant portion of these SLR securities are held in the “Held-to-Maturity’ (HTM) category, some of these are held in the “Available for Sale” (AFS) category. In the first two quarters of the last year the Bank realized gains on its bond portfolio partly offset by the losses made in the second and third quarters of the financial year ended March 31, 2010.
