MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MACRO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

India’s macro-economic environment has improved across various parameters compared to the previous fiscal 2014, with low stable inflation, lower fiscal deficit, lower current account deficit, higher foreign exchange reserves and a stable currency. An electoral victory reflecting a strong political mandate for economic change along with the improved macro-economic situation has inspired optimism of an economic revival, leading to an improved sentiment on the ground.

 

The Central Statistical Organization has made changes to the methodology of estimating India’s GDP in line with the International Standards. Based on this methodology the GDP is projected to grow at 7.4% in fiscal 2015.

 

Fiscal consolidation continues apace, with the Union Government committed to meeting its earlier fiscal deficit target of 4.1%. Together with the sharp drop in CPI inflation of 5.17% in March 2015 from 8.25% in March 2014, RBI had sufficient confidence in the inflation management efforts to start a rate easing cycle, cutting its policy rate by 50 bps in the year to 7.5%. The new flexible inflation targeting Monetary Policy Framework is also expected to anchor inflation expectations.

 

India’s potential and prospects were sufficiently attractive for it to attract foreign capital, particularly portfolio flows. This allowed RBI to replenish its foreign exchange reserves, currently over USD 340 billion through market intervention, thereby permitting the Rupee to depreciate gradually against the US Dollar over the course of the year.

 

The developments noted above have allowed a more coordinated response to revive growth. The Government had taken various steps, including initiating an auction to allocate a number of coal mines whose licenses had previously been cancelled and of spectrum for telecom companies. There have also been relaxations of clearances required, including environmental, and some process rationalizations of regulatory approvals. RBI has also changed its monetary policy stance to an easing cycle, and has cut the repo rate by 50 bps in Q4 in fiscal 2015. The transmission of these repo rate cuts had been constrained in the last quarter, given expectations of a credit demand surge and consequent tight liquidity, but has begun in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and is likely to continue over the next few months.

 

Credit demand had remained weak both due to lack of new projects and low working capital demand, arising from weak commodity prices and diesel de-regulation. Within this weak credit environment, there had been a structural shift of credit demand to non-bank sources, with increasing reliance on Commercial Paper and corporate bond issues, both domestic and offshore. For fiscal 2015, deposit growth in the system was 12.8%, while credit growth was at 12.6%.

 

Prospects for Fiscal 2016

 

India’s status as a favoured investment destination is likely to continue in fiscal 2016. Global conditions are likely to remain favourable for continuing weak commodity prices, which will provide headroom for a moderate stimulus via monetary policy easing. Rating agency Moody’s has revised India’s sovereign ratings outlook upwards. However, there is likely to be the risk of persisting financial markets volatility as global central banks embark on asymmetric monetary policy strategies. India is perhaps better prepared to deal with this turbulence as it has reigned in its twin (fiscal and current account) deficits within acceptable levels.

 

The immediate objective of the current Government in India is to revive capital expenditure and investment demand. The latest Budget announced a significant increase of Rs.700000.000 Million in investment in infrastructure during 2015-16, with a focus on railways and roads. We believe this outlay will initially help to boost public investment and thereafter have multiplier effects to catalyze demand in related ancillary sectors in the entire value chain within a few quarters. However, given the moderate capacity utilisation in the private sector and sluggish demand in many sectors, the immediate priorities for the private sector are likely to be completion of projects and tying up of fuel and other mineral inputs before significant new capacities can be considered. We expect that RBI has room to cut its policy repo rate by another 25-50 bps over fiscal 2016, given projections of inflation. Coupled with gradual economic and investment recovery and funding needs for auction proceeds, bank credit growth is likely to be in the 12-14% range in fiscal 2016, while we expect deposit growth in the range of 12-13%.

 

 

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

The Bank’s strategy to build its business upon strong customer franchises while adopting a prudent approach has continued to deliver good results. The Bank reported a net profit of Rs.73578.200 Million for the year ended 31st March 2015, registering a growth of 18.34% over the net profit of Rs.62176.700 Million last year. The steady growth in earnings was achieved due to a much more balanced contribution across all its business segments. The Bank displayed steady growth in key balance sheet parameters for the year ended 31st March 2015. The total assets increased by 20.53% to Rs.4619320.000 Million, total deposits increased by 14.77% to Rs.3224420.000 Million while total advances increased by 22.17% to Rs.2810830.000 Million.

 

During the year, the Bank continued to expand its network, with increased focus on the non-rural areas as last year it had significantly expanded its footprint in the rural areas. The network expansion has continued to support the steady growth in Retail and SME segments. The Bank’s digital initiatives have continued to make significant progress and remain integral towards making banking simple through the adoption of simple processes for seamless multichannel delivery.

 

The Bank continued to enhance its shareholder value by delivering healthy financial return ratios. Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) was Rs.31.18 compared to Rs.26.51 last year, while the Diluted Earnings Per Share was Rs.30.85 compared to Rs.26.45 last year. Key return ratios continued to remain healthy, with Return on Equity (ROE) at 18.57% compared to 18.23% last year, and Return on Assets (ROA) at 1.8% compared to 1.78% last year. The Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the year was 3.92% compared to 3.81% last year. The asset quality remained stable with ratio of Gross NPAs to gross customer assets at 1.34%, and Net NPA ratio (Net NPAs as percentage of net customer assets) was 0.44%.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

The Bank has carried out separation of its production and distribution functions. Transaction processing operations have been centralized while product sales and customer handling (the distribution technology) are being primarily carried out at the branches. This business process re-engineering has enabled reduction of transaction costs besides ensuring smoothness in operations and increasing productivity. The Bank continued to refine operational processes from the perspective of implementation of best practices, risk identification and containment to bring about greater precision in the management of operations in both the corporate and retail side of the Bank’s businesses. Operational instructions were issued on a continual basis and efforts are made to introduce risk-free working at branches.

 

Retail Banking Operations

 

Retail Banking Operations (RBO) comprises of four main functions, namely Retail Branch Operations, Retail Business Processes, Process Quality and Customer Services. Jointly these functions manage branch based operations and centralized processes for various retail business activities such as data processing for new customers, servicing of transactions, reconciliation activities etc. The teams bring efficiencies to the various retail liabilities and retail asset businesses of the Bank.

 

Retail Branch Operations operate closely with various control units and ensures that branch services meet the business objectives along with strict adherence to risk and compliance requirements. Retail Business Processes is the centralized operations department, operating through 2 National Processing Centers, supported by 23 Regional Centers and multiple service partners. Customer Services manages the 24x7 Customer Contact Center for all retail businesses. A dedicated Phone Banking Service for Premium and NRI customers has recently been launched. Customer Service follows a well laid out service quality framework and drives initiatives across retail businesses through the Service Quality team.

 

Improving customer service quality remains core to the Bank’s vision and with a view to ensure comprehensive improvement, the Bank initiated Project ‘PRATHAM’, a program to reduce turnaround time, achieve high automation index, better risk management and improved customer experience. Some of the key initiatives in these areas are, image based workflow system for customer acquisition, optimisation of branch cash and phone banking services. Re-engineering plans are driven by a dedicated team, which manages cross functional initiatives to create breakthrough improvements in process quality and handles transformational projects.

PRESS RELEASES:

 

PREFER AXIS BANK, ICICI BANK, YES BANK: MAYURESH JOSHI

 

October 12, 2015

 

Mayuresh Joshi of Angel Broking told CNBC-TV18, "As a disclaimer we don’t cover DCB Bank, so we still prefer the other large private sectors banks like Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and YES Bank. If you look at their core profiles, earnings growth for all these banks should be quite stupendous over the next few quarters. So, the larger private sector banks are something that we will still lay our bets on - Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and YES Bank."

 

Yes Bank closed at Rs 724.20, down Rs 1.00, or 0.14 percent. It has touched an intraday high of Rs 736.50 and an intraday low of Rs 720.75.

 

 

AXIS BANK REALIGNS HOME LOAN RATES; INTRODUCES NEW SLAB

 

Oct 06, 2015

 

The newly introduced slab is for loans up to Rs.2.800 Million, an official spokesperson of the bank said. For salaried borrowers, the home loans will come at 9.60 percent, which is only 0.10 percent over its revised base rate of 9.50 percent.

 

Country's third largest private lender Axis Bank  today introduced a new slab for its home loan borrowers with offers starting at 9.60 percent onward. The newly introduced slab is for loans up to Rs.2.800 Million, an official spokesperson of the bank said. For salaried borrowers, the home loans will come at 9.60 percent, which is only 0.10 percent over its revised base rate of 9.50 percent, he said.

 

The non-salaried class will get home loans at 9.65 percent, he added. The rates compare with rival ICICI Bank  and HDFC  's offerings, which have been revised in the past two days, and are a shade expensive than SBI's offering. State Bank of India's best offering for women is 9.50 percent, while the same for other borrowers is 9.55 percent.

 

Non-bank lender HDFC, which also announced a rate cut yesterday, is on par with ICICI Bank's 9.60 percent for women and 9.65 percent for others.
