INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

BACKGROUND

 

Subject was incorporated in 1993 and provides a complete suite of corporate and retail banking products.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Bank continued to grow steadily, both in business and earnings, in an increasingly competitive financial market and reported a net profit of Rs.51794.300 Millions for the year ended 31st March 2013, registering a growth of 22.09% over the net profit of Rs.42422.100 Millions last year. The strong performance in earnings resulted from the robust growth across all segments. During the year, the Bank’s total income increased by 23.05% to reach Rs.337336.800 Millions, compared to Rs.274148.600 Millions last year. Operating revenue during this period increased by 20.68% to Rs.162173.700 Millions while operating profit increased by 25.20% to Rs.93031.300 Millions. The growth in earnings may be attributed to the performance of the Bank’s core income streams: net interest income (NII), fee and other income. NII increased by 20.56% to Rs.96662.600 Millions from Rs.80177.500 Millions last year. Fee, trading and other income increased by 20.86% to Rs.65511.100 Millions from Rs.54202.200 Millions last year. The increase in earnings was partly offset by an increase in operating expenses by 15.10% to Rs.69142.400 Millions.

 

During the year, the growth in NII is attributable to an expansion in the balance sheet size and healthy lowcost Current Account and Savings Bank (CASA) deposits. During the year, the total earning assets on a daily average basis increased by 22.64% to Rs.2737380.000 Millions, compared to Rs.2232060.000 Millions last year. A steady growth of low-cost CASA deposits, which on a daily average basis increased to Rs.809410.000 Millions from Rs.708450.000 Millions, helped in containing the cost of funds, which had risen over the period due to the hardening of interest rates on term deposits. Overall, the daily average cost of funds in the year increased to 6.55% from 6.28% last year. During the year, the cost of deposits increased to 6.73% from 6.47% last year primarily due to an increase in cost of term deposits by 18 basis points (from 8.92% to 9.10%). During the same period, the yield on earning assets increased by 9 basis points to 9.75% from 9.66% last year.

 

Other income comprising fees, trading profit and miscellaneous income increased by 20.86% to Rs.65511.100 Millions in 2012-13 from Rs.54202.200 Millions last year and constituted 40.40% of the operating revenue of the Bank. Fee income constituted 34.04% of the operating revenue of the Bank and increased by 16.80% to Rs.55209.300 Millions from Rs.47269.400 Millions last year. The Bank earns fee income from a diverse set of products and businesses such as client-based merchant foreign exchange trade, transaction banking (including cash management services), syndication and placement fees, processing fees from loans and commission on non-funded products (such as letters of credit and bank guarantees), inter-change fees on ATM-sharing arrangements and fee income from the distribution of third-party personal investment products. During the year, proprietary trading profits increased by 108.71% to Rs.7546.000 Millions from Rs.3615.600 Millions last year. Miscellaneous income decreased by 16.92% to Rs.2755.800 Millions from Rs.3317.200 Millions last year mainly due to lower recoveries of loans/investments written-off in earlier years. During the year, such recoveries accounted for Rs.2685.100 Millions.

 

As a result, the operating revenue of the Bank increased by 20.68% to Rs.162173.700 Millions from Rs.134379.700 Millions last year. The core income streams (NII, fee and miscellaneous income) now constitute 95.35% of the operating revenue, reflecting the sustainability of the Bank’s earnings. Operating expenses increased by 15.10% to Rs.69142.400 Millions from Rs.60071.000 Millions last year, largely as a result of the growth of the Bank’s network and other infrastructure required for supporting the existing and new businesses. The Cost to Income ratio of the Bank was 42.63% compared to 44.70% last year.

 

During the year, the operating profit of the Bank increased by 25.20% to Rs.93031.300 Millions from Rs.74308.700 Millions last year. During this period, the Bank created total provisions (excluding provisions for tax) of Rs.17504.400 Millions compared to Rs.11430.300 Millions last year. The Bank provided Rs.11792.200 Millions towards non-performing assets compared to Rs.8604.300 Millions last year and Rs.1966.800 Millions towards provision for standard assets compared to Rs.1503.000 Millions last year. The Bank also provided Rs.1039.500 Millions compared to Rs.888.600 Millions last year against restructured assets. The Bank has also created a contingent provision of Rs.3750.000 Millions against advances and other exposures as a prudent measure. During 2012- 13, the Bank restructured loans of Rs.21100.900 Millions. The ratio of Gross NPAs to gross customer assets was 1.06% compared to 0.94% last year and Net NPA ratio (Net NPAs as percentage of net customer assets) was 0.32% compared to 0.25% last year. With higher levels of provisions built over and above regulatory norms during the year, the Bank has maintained its provision coverage to 79.15% (after considering prudential write-offs).

 

The healthy growth in business and revenue has been reflected in a set of financial parameters and ratios during the year. Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) was Rs.119.67 compared to Rs.102.94 last year, while the Diluted Earnings Per Share was Rs.118.85 compared to Rs.102.20 last year. Return on Equity (RoE) was 20.51% compared to 21.22% last year and Book Value Per Share increased from Rs.551.99 to Rs.707.50. Return on Assets (RoA) is 1.70% compared to 1.68% last year. The net interest margin (NIM) for the year was 3.53% compared to 3.59% last year.

 

The Bank displayed healthy growth in several key balance sheet parameters for the year ended 31st March 2013. The balance sheet size increased by 19.23% to Rs.3405610.000 Millions on 31st March 2013 from Rs.2856280.000 Millions on 31st March 2012. As on 31st March 2013, the total deposits of the Bank stood at Rs.2526140.000 Millions against Rs.2201040.000 Millions last year, increasing by 14.77% over last year. Savings Bank deposits increased by 23.44% to Rs.637780.000 Millions, while Current Account deposits increased by 21.55% to Rs.483220.000 Millions. Low-cost demand deposits: Current Accounts and Savings Bank (CASA) deposits were Rs.1121000.000 Millions as on 31st March 2013 as compared to Rs.914220.000 Millions last year, rising 22.62% over the year. As on 31st March 2013, CASA deposits constituted 44.38% of total deposits as compared to 41.54% last year. On a daily average basis, Savings Bank deposits increased by 20.26% to Rs.522430.000 Millions, while Current Account deposits increased by 4.73% to Rs.286980.000 Millions. The percentage share of CASA in total deposits, on a daily average basis, was 36.28% compared to 37.65% last year. In order to broaden the term deposit base, the Bank continued to focus on increasing the share of retail term deposits in total term deposits. As on 31st March 2013, the retail term deposits grew 24.37% and stood at Rs.595310.000 Millions, constituting 42.37% of the total term deposits compared to 37.20% last year. Total advances of the Bank were Rs.1969660.000 Millions as on 31st March 2013, increasing by 16.03% from Rs.1697600.000 Millions as on 31st March 2012. Of this, corporate advances (comprising large, infrastructure and mid-corporate accounts) increased 7.89% to Rs.982390.000 Millions and SME loans increased 25.75% to Rs.299220.000 Millions. Agricultural lending (including micro finance) stood at Rs.148450.000 Millions, decreasing 14.39% over the last year. Retail loans increased by 43.62% to Rs.539600.000 Millions. The percentage share of retail loans to total advances has increased to 27.40% from 22.13% last year. The retail loan portfolio continues to be focused on secured products. However, a diversification into multiproduct portfolio continued during the year. Secured loans accounted for 87.14% of the total retail loans. The total investments of the Bank increased by 22.05% to Rs.1137370.000 Millions and investments in government and approved securities, held mainly for SLR requirement, increased by 23.89% to Rs.725180.000 Millions. Other investments, including corporate debt securities, increased by 18.93% to Rs.412190.000 Millions. As on 31st March 2013, the total assets of the Bank’s overseas branches stood at Rs.371520.000 Millions, constituting 10.91% of the Bank’s total assets.

 

The Bank continued toenlarge its distribution network by widening its geographical reach, which is seen to be critical for tapping low-cost CASA deposits, lending to retail, agriculture and SME segments and the distribution of thirdparty products. During the year, the Bank added 325 new branches, taking the total number of branches and extension counters (ECs) to 1,947, of which 883 branches/ECs are in semi-urban and rural areas and 1,064 branches are in metropolitan and urban areas. The Bank is present in all the States and Union Territories (except Lakshadweep), covering a total of 1,263 centres.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MACRO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

Fiscal 2012-13 saw Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth falling to 5.0% from 6.2% in the previous year. Persisting high inflation, macro-economic imbalances, including fiscal and current account deficits resulted in a tight monetary policy stance for much part of the year. Investment dropped sharply due to high interest rates and project implementation bottlenecks resulting in the growth slowdown. A decline in the country’s exports – the result of declining domestic competitiveness and a slowing global economy, together with high imports has led to deterioration in the Current Account Deficit (CAD). Reduced capital inflows also led to a sharp depreciation of the Rupee.

 

Subsidies rose to 2.6% in fiscal 2012-13 from 1.4% of GDP in the previous year, with both the fiscal deficit and inflation remaining at elevated levels. As part of the process of reforms and with a view to restoring investor confidence, the government has taken a number of measures since September 2012 including the partial de-regulation of diesel prices, capping of subsidies of LPG and liberalisation of FDI in multi-brand retail and aviation. The government has made fiscal discipline a key objective and the deficit for fiscal 2013-14 has been budgeted at 4.8% of GDP, lower than 5.2% declared for the previous year.

 

Credit growth fell to less than 15% and in the absence of fresh investments and monetary policy easing in fiscal 2013-14 may slow down further. Deposit growth in the banking sector, which remains the primary channel of financial intermediation, also witnessed a slowdown in fiscal 2012-13. Aggregate deposits outstanding were Rs.67.51 lac crores as on 22nd March 2013 growing 14.3% year-on-year while non-food bank credit grew 14% to Rs.51.66 lac crores.

 

PROSPECTS FOR FISCAL 2013-14

 

Moderate global economic recovery and measures to revive domestic growth are likely to improve economic conditions and sentiment in India in fiscal 2013-14. Core inflation is likely to decline gradually and remain range-bound thereafter. India’s Current Account Deficit (CAD) is likely to reduce gradually as a result of the measures initiated by the government and the RBI. Improvement in exports will act as a further impetus to domestic growth. The steps taken to revive investment, including monetary policy easing and liquidity infusion and progressive infrastructure de-bottlenecking is likely to increase capacity expansion. Recent measures by the government, including actions by the Cabinet Committee on Investments (CCI) and prospective award of road contracts is likely to boost the projects being implemented. As a result, GDP may potentially rise to around 6% in fiscal 2013-14.

 

With households re-allocating their savings from physical to financial assets and with improvement in financial performance by corporates, higher foreign capital inflows as well as better cash management by the government, it is hoped that there will be an increase in financial savings that would support deposit growth and improve systemic liquidity. For fiscal 2013-14, we expect deposit growth to be 14-15% and non-food bank credit to be around 15-16%. The challenging conditions have enabled Indian corporates to become more competitive and efficient that will help them benefit from a cyclical upturn.

 

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

In a year in which the banking sector in the country has faced increasing strain, from tight liquidity conditions, hardening interest rates, slowdown in capital expenditure, rising delinquencies and high incidence of assets being restructured, the Bank has reported a strong performance, sustained by its fundamental strengths - a sound infrastructure in the form of a well laid-out retail franchise and a large number of corporate relationships.

 

The Bank has registered robust growth in both business and revenues. The total assets of the Bank as on 31st March 2013 were Rs.3405610.000 Millions, increasing 19.23% over the year, with the total deposits of the Bank rising 14.77% to Rs.2526140.000 Millions and the total advances rising 16.03% to Rs.1969660.000 Millions as on 31st March 2013. During the year, the total income of the Bank increased 23.05% to Rs.337340.000 Millions, while operating revenue increased 20.68% to Rs.162170.000 Millions. The net profit rose 22.09% to Rs.51790.00 Millions from Rs.42420.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Bank continued to create shareholder value, as a result of which the diluted earnings per share for the year increased to Rs.118.85 from Rs.102.20 last year, while the book value per share increased to Rs.707.50 from Rs.551.99 last year.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

An overview of various business segments along with the performance during 2012-13 and their future strategies is presented below.

 

RETAIL BANKING

 

The Bank aims to increase its share in the financial services sector by continuing to build a strong retail franchise. The segment continues to be one of the key drivers of the Bank’s growth strategy, encompassing a wide range of products delivered through multiple channels to customers. The Bank offers a complete suite of products across deposits, loans, investment solutions, payments and cards and is committed to developing long-term relationships with its customers by providing high-quality services.

 

The Bank pursues an effective customer segmentation strategy, the success of which is reflected in the fact that Savings Bank deposits grew at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.13% over the last five years. During the year, Savings Bank deposits grew 23.44% to Rs.637780.000 Millions from Rs.516680.000 Millions last year. On a daily average basis, Savings Bank deposits grew 20.26% to Rs.522430.000 Millions. The Bank has also maintained its approach in increasing the proportion of Retail Term Deposits. On the 31st March 2013, retail term deposits grew 24.37% year-on-year to Rs.595310.000 Millions, constituting 42.37% of total term deposits, compared to 37.20% last year.

 

Likewise, the Bank continued to focus on increasing its share of retail loans in total advances. The retail loans of the Bank grew 43.62% to Rs.539600.000 Millions as on 31st March 2013 from Rs.375700.000 Millions last year. Retail loans constituted 27.40% of the Bank’s total advances as on 31st March 2013, compared to 22.13% last year of which secured loans accounted for 87%. The distribution of specific portfolios within the Retail loan segment as on 31st March 2013 was as follows: home loans - 65%, loans against property - 7%, auto loans - 14%, personal loans and credit cards - 9%.

 

The Bank sources retail loans through 120 Asset Sales Centres operating out of 96 cities with standardised appraisal and oversight mechanisms. Retail loans are also originated from 1,183 branches through which one-third of incremental retail loans are currently sourced. The cards business is an integral part of the Bank’s retail strategy with ever-increasing numbers of transactions moving to the electronic mode. The Bank is one of the largest debit card issuers in the country, with a base of 14.290 Millions, which rose from 12.499 Millions at the end of last year. With more than a million cards in force, the Bank is now the sixth largest credit card issuer in the country. The Bank has also emerged as one of the largest acquirers in the country with an installed base of 2.16 lac point-of-sale terminals. During the year, the Bank also launched mobile POS.

 

To Indians living and working overseas, the Bank offers a complete suite of banking and investment products under its NRI Services. The Bank has 49 branches authorised to issue Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) permissions to NRIs/PIOs who wish to trade in the Indian secondary markets through registered stock brokers on recognised stock exchanges. To support the business, the Bank has launched a 24x7 integrated helpdesk for NRI customers with the facility of toll-free numbers from key geographies. As on 31st March 2013, the Bank’s aggregate NRI deposits (Savings + Term Deposits) stood at Rs.131040.000 Millions against Rs.86240.000 Millions last year. The Bank also offers products in the area of retail forex and remittances, including travel currency cards, inward and outward wire transfers, travellers cheques and foreign currency notes, remittance facilities through online portals as well as through collaboration with correspondent banks, exchange houses and money transfer operators. The Bank continued to have a market leadership position in Travel Currency Cards with 11 currency options other than INR being offered.
