Comments :

HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited is a subsidiary of Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC). The company was incorporated in the year 2000.

 

HDFC Life is positioned as a leading life insurer in India, offering a range of individual and group insurance solutions. Its portfolio comprises various insurance and investment products such as Protection, Pension, Savings, Income and Health. As on June 30, 2017, the Company offered 31 individual and 10 group products, along with 8 optional rider benefits catering to specific needs of customers during each stage of their lives.

 

HDFC Life has about 398 branches and presence in more than 980 cities and towns in India.

 

HDFC Life distributes its products through a multi-channel network consisting of Insurance agents, Ban assurance partners (HDFC Bank, Saraswat Bank, RBL Bank), direct channel, Insurance Brokers and Online Insurance Platform.

 

For the financial year 2017, the company has achieved decent sales turnover which has improved as compared to previous year marked by satisfactory profit margin.

 

Rating derives strength from significant capital structure, managerial and operational support from its parent company.

 

The company has its share price trading at around INR 468.15 against the face value (FV) of INR 10 on BSE as 26th February, 2018.

 

However, rating is constrained on account of low reserve position as compared to its capital along with intense competition and challenge to be faced by the company in insurance sector.

 

Business is active. Payments seems to be regular.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

 

Industry Outlook

 

The FY 2017 was a critical year for life insurance industry in India. The macro-economic factors and demographic profile continue to support growth for financial services. Players continue to adapt to the changing macro landscape, while competing to hold their turf.

 

Within the life insurance industry, private life insurers continued to grow at relatively faster rate and gained higher market share within Individual segment. Even under the Group segment, private players continue to gain traction and have delivered healthy growth.

 

Improving macro trends with India outperforming other emerging markets, increasing traction in equity markets and higher focus on financial inclusion and penetration to increase the financial savings was reflected in 26% growth in Individual New Business Weighted Received Premia (WRP) and 20% growth in Group premia for the private players during FY 2017. At an industry level, the sector witnessed growth of 21% in Individual New Business WRP and 21% in Group premia during the year.

 

Demonetisation drive launched by Government of India in November 2016 also triggered growth for select players

in individual segment, leveraging the spurt in the bank deposits which is reflected in above industry trends.

 

There also has been steady increase in proportion of business generated through corporate agents comprising

banks and other financial services players amongst private players during past 5 years. This channel contributed 52% of total individual reported new business in 9M FY 2017 across all private players (Source: Public disclosures)

 

On the product segments, reduced allowable charges to distributors’ within ULIP segment and higher expense structures led many players to move towards traditional products. However, since 2014 market performance and transparent product structures have helped increase pull for ULIP products. There is increasing demand for protection products and its implicit higher new business margins (NBMs) has resulted in recent focus on the term

segment across players.

 

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

Individual Business Performance

 

HDFC Life ranked #3 among private players in terms of Individual WRP with a market share of 12.7% in FY 2017,

versus 14.7% in FY 2016. During the year under review, the Company issued 10.82 lac policies in the Individual segment. The Company continues to offer diversified product suite across Linked, Participating and Non Participating segments.

 

The Company also continued its focus on pure protection segment including mortality and morbidity coverage, reflected through increase in overall new business sum assured by 43%. Overall, traditional Non Participating products contributed 13% of Individual APE, versus 14% in FY 2016 and Participating products contributed 35% versus 30% in FY 2016. The Linked business continued to dominate the product portfolio of the Company contributing 52% versus 56% last year.

 

In line with its strategy, the Company has been working to ensure diversification and strengthening its distribution

mix across Corporate agents, Individual agents, Brokers and Direct channels, including Online. Digital remains a key thrust area and the Company has built a robust technology platform for its distributors and customers to leverage its digital capabilities.

 

The Company has an efficient technology platform, which ensures ease of purchase for consumers, while enabling rapid integration with distributors. Digital procurement, fulfillment and customer servicing continue to be the key focus areas. In FY 2017, over 98% of the proposal forms were submitted through digital medium and 70% of renewal business was received through online modes. The Company has various process and system controls, delivery assurance and internal and concurrent audits, that leads to lower dependency risks, scalability and ability to anticipate any issues or concerns.

FINANCIALS AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

the first Financial year, HDFC International earned a Gross Income of US$ 354,192 while its expenses stood at US$ 1,327,218. The period under review ended with a loss of US$ 973,027. The financial performance numbers are for the period from January 10, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

 

During the period under review, HDFC International signed reinsurance treaties for two distinct lines of individual life business, with one of the largest local insurers in the UAE. It also offered reinsurance capacity for two group life schemes, also with the same ceding insurer.

 

HDFC International also returned a modest Underwriting Income (Technical Profit), which is testimony to the strength of its underlying underwriting and risk assessment processes.

 

In the years to come, HDFC International intends to expand its footprints by offering reinsurance capacity to ceding life insurers in other markets. By combining an aggressive outreach into other markets with its ever improving underwriting experience, it expects to significantly improve its revenue streams in FY 2018.

 


 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

A. Macro Economic Trends

 

The last year under consideration has been marked by several developments in India and worldwide. Globally, the large economies saw a pull back from the pessimism of deflation and slow growth. The IMF (International Monetary Fund) projected global growth at 3.1% for 2016, accelerating to 3.4% and 3.6% for 2017 and 2018 respectively. The improved outlook on growth helped commodities recover from the lows seen at the beginning of 2016. Among the developed markets, US led the way with a 1.6% growth for 2016, a modest expansion, which helped the economy to chip away the unemployment rate steadily to below 5% levels. Growth expectations for the US were raised higher after the surprise election win for Donald Trump, who had espoused an expansionary fiscal

policy and tax and regulatory reform in the course of his campaign. The Euro area suffered a jolt, in the middle of the year, as Britain voted to break away from the European Union. The impact, however, was short-lived as the improving growth prospects in the rest of the world, and a pick up in Germany, the bloc's largest economy, turned sentiments around. The Chinese economy expanded 6.7% in 2016, in line with the expectations. However, continued stimulus and pick up in global trade growth were the key positives for Chinese growth.

 

On the domestic side, the economy benefitted from a near normal monsoon, which helped alleviate some stress in the agrarian and rural economy caused by poor rainfallover the previous two years. The improvement in the

agriculture output helped rein in inflation and provided room for RBI to ease monetary policy. In November, the sudden demonetisation of large currency notes signaled an escalation in the policy actions to curb and penalize illicit activities.

 

The demonetisation move has the potential to generate long-term benefits for the overall economy with specific impact on the financial services sector. It should potentially reflect in form of lower ‘black money’, higher digitalisation and transparency and increasing shift of household saving towards financial assets. All of these could eventually lead to higher GDP growth, better tax compliance and greater tax revenues.

 

The Government was also successful in getting constitutional amendment passed through the legislatures, to pave the way for the long awaited Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. This is a significant tax reform and augurs well for improving the tax to GDP ratio in India. GST will create a common Indian market and further aid in increasing tax compliance, boost investment and growth and improve governance.

 

Lower interest rates have been favorable for life insurance industry, as investors are scouting for other investment

alternatives than the traditional FDs which are offering lower returns on the investment.

 

Numerous other initiatives have been undertaken by the Government, to increase financial inclusion and penetration across the country and build a resilient and resurgent Indian economy. The impact of above initiatives is reflected in form of 35% increase in average AUM of mutual funds (Source: AMFI) and 26% increase in new  business (individual and group) insurance premium (Source: Life council data) during FY 2017.

 

In FY 2017, real GDP is projected to grow at 6.5%, as per the current Economic survey, versus 7.6% growth registered in FY 2016. The marginal decline is attributed to multiple reasons including demonetisation, movement in oil prices and stressed infrastructure assets position, etc. Despite the short term growth slowdown, India remains one of the fastest growing emerging market economies and the continued reforms shall play a key role to deliver stronger growth in future. IMF has also raised India’s growth estimate for FY 2018 to 7.7%.

PRESS RELEASE

 

HDFC LIFE SAYS OPEN TO ACQUISITION OF SMALL, BIG PLAYERS

 

NEW DELHI: HDFC Standard Life Insurance today said it is open to any kind of acquisition, including of Max Life if the "structural issues" that hampered its earlier deal are resolved. 

 

"That problem was more to do with the structural issue and obviously, Max has to solve that. So, if they can solve their problem, which is not easy, and they are ready for this (merger) sometime in future then we will look at it," HDFC Life MD and CEO Amitabh Chaudhry told reporters at a roadshow here for the insurer's upcoming IPO next week.

 

HDFC Standard Life Insurance's IPO will hit the capital market next week fetching promoters about INR 87000.000 Million. 

 

The IPO that opens on November 7, has a price band of INR 2750.000-2900.000 per equity share, in which promoters HDFC LtdBSE 0.50 % and Standard Life will dilute 9.52 per cent and 5.4 per cent respectively in their joint venture HDFC Life. 

 

Currently, HDFC owns 61.21 per cent stake in the joint venture which will come down to 51.69 per cent, while Standard Life's 34.75

 

"We believe that this IPO does a number of things for us. One of which is obviously it gives us the currency to go and seek for acquisitions for the future, as there are as many as 24 players in the industry," Chaudhry said. On the pricing band of the IPO, Chaudhry said it leaves an ample room at the hands of retail investors. 

 

On the pricing band of the IPO, Chaudhry said it leaves an ample room at the hands of retail investors. 

 

He said the brand value of HDFC has created a lot of demand among investors for HDFC Life's IPO. 

 

On mergers, Chaudhry said that the company is open to any kind of transaction that comes along its way including the Max Life if the structural issues are resolved.

 

"There are a number of small players out there whose size of the business is very-very small and sub-optimal. A number of these companies are also promoted by some of the banks and these banks need capital so it do believe if the right kind of business comes along then we will definitely look at it," he said. 

 

He said the company will look at any acquisition that makes sense be it a small player or big. 

 

"We will look at any transaction that comes along. We are not saying that we will look to gobble up only small players. The thing is that for small players the chances to be taken up is higher. There could be some large players also which could come to the table," he said further. 

 

Last year in August, HDFC Life, Max Life Insurance Company (Max Life), Max Financial Services and Max India BSE -1.95 % had entered into amalgamation agreements as part of which the life insurance business of Max Financial Services (held in Max Life) was to merge with HDFC Life. 

 

However, the business proposition hit a road block with the Irdai disapproving to the proposal as it involved merging a life insurance business with a financial entity.
