Investment Profile

We initiate IDFC Bank (IDFB) at Sell with a 12-month SOTP-based target price
of Rs57. IDFC Limited recently demerged its lending business into a banking
entity to benefit from possible diversification of its loan book/revenues and
develop its retail franchise, despite high regulatory costs. However, the
business strategy appears mixed and is unlikely to lead to a strong retail build
out (low cost deposits, high-yielding retail loan book) in the near-to-medium
term, which could have otherwise, partially offset the high regulatory cost,
in our view. As a result, we expect IDFB to deliver below median ROAs by
FY21E and lower headline loan growth vs. other private (PVT) banks.

Key data

We see IDFB as a laggard, over its first five years of operations, amongst the
PVT banks on multiple counts: (1) Subdued operating metrics as we
forecast its ROA to take at least five years to reach 1.5%, below median
levels of 1.9%; (2) lower headline loan growth than peers over
FY17E/FY18E even though we expect growth in non-infrastructure loans to
grow fairly strong; (3) tepid build out of granular liability franchise which
could have otherwise helped partially negate the impact of high regulatory
costs (cash reserve ratio, statutory lending ratio and priority sector lending);
(4) unfavorable risk reward with IDFB trading at 1.5X 12-month forward
book, +28%/-22%/-27% vs. the valuations of ICBK/AXBK/YES, which have
lower execution risks; and (5) lack of support from technical factors such
as the relaxation of foreign ownership (FII) limits thereby creating ample FII
room for other PVT banks (27%-41%) vs. IDFB (25%).

Valuation
We value IDFB at 1.4X 12-month forward banking book, while it is trading at
1.5X 12-month forward book. Our target price also includes the value of
existing private equity and project equity funds (Rs5) as the investment in
these funds remains part of the banking book.

Sharp uptick in macro, strong loan growth, faster recovery from stressed
loans, and better strategy on retail thereby improving revenue streams.

IDFC Bank Ltd (IDFB.BO)

Executive summary: Better investment opportunities elsewhere


We initiate coverage on IDFC Bank (IDFB) with a Sell rating and a 12-month SOTP-based
target price of Rs57, implying 8% downside. We believe the newly formed bank is likely to
underperform its peers, given: (1) subdued return trajectory (partly due to regulatory
requirements and higher operating costs); (2) lower headline loan growth even though
we expect a strong growth momentum in other non-infrastructure oriented businesses; (3)
likely tepid build out of liability franchise which would have otherwise neutralized the
impact of high regulatory costs (statutory liquidity and cash reserve ratios, priority sector
norms etc.); (4) relatively higher execution risk as compared to other existing private
(PVT) banks; and (5) lack of technical support as other existing PVT banks now have
ample foreign holding room available compared to IDFB. IDFB currently trades at a 12month forward P/B of 1.5X as compared to our target price implied 12-month forward P/B
of 1.4X.
We would turn constructive on the stock if we see: (1) sharp improvement in macro,
leading to improvement in asset quality and better lending opportunities (as the private
capex cycle picks up); (2) better strategy on retail banking (including low cost deposits and
high yielding retail assets); and (3) diversification of revenue streams driven by sustainable
fee income stream. Our bull case scenario suggests that the average ROA over FY18EFY24E can improve by c.30bps against our base case on better CASA mix, higher
proportion of high yielding loan book and better operating efficiency (refer to Exhibit 38).

#1: We believe IDFBs return ratio would remain subdued over the next five years on
higher regulatory costs and banking-related opex. Even if its ROA were to recover
from our expectations of c.1% in its first year of banking operations, we believe it
would likely remain below median ROAs for peers, thus limiting any potential
significant re-rating of valuation.
Exhibit 2: While IDFBs return ratios could fall in the near
term on account of regulatory and banking-related
costs

Exhibit 3: we do not expect its returns to reach levels


similar to other PVT banks over the next five years

#2: Although we foresee a strong non-infrastructure loans growth momentum in the


wholesale and SME segments, we expect headline loan growth to remain subdued,
mainly driven by the lack of activity pick up in the infrastructure segment (accounts
for c.100% of IDFBs loan book at present), repayment of loans and deleveraging that
may cap the growth pick up.
Exhibit 4: IDFB is likely to deliver lower growth compared to other new private banks of a similar size such as YESB,
INBK and KTKM on account of lower growth in infra book (81% of loan book in FY17E), with bulk of the incremental
growth likely coming from other segments which we estimate would deliver 55% CAGR over FY17E-21E

#3: We expect IDFBs liability franchise build out to remain tepid, over its first five
years of operations, which otherwise would have been helpful to partially offset high
regulatory costs besides building a granular liability franchise expeditiously.
Moreover, with regulators focusing on ensuring that banks have stable and granular
funding resources (net stable funding ratio and liquidity coverage ratio), we believe it
would be essential for IDFB to focus on its deposit franchise. IDFBs management plans to
initially rely on the digital platform for its consumer banking businesses (including its
liability franchise), which could be an interesting strategy (as none of its peers are focusing
solely on digital) but the jury is still out. For most of the other existing PVT banks, despite
their significant focus on the digital platform, they are also focusing on ramping up their
distribution network.
Exhibit 5: We believe managements strategy to rely
significantly on the digital channel to build out IDFBs
retail liability franchise

#4: We view IDFBs risk reward profile as unfavorable, with the stock trading at 1.5X
12-month forward book, +28%/-22%/-27% vs. the valuations of ICBK/AXBK/YES.
Moreover, we believe the lack of support from technical factors such as the relaxation
of foreign ownership limits creates ample foreign holding room in other PVT banks
(27%-41%) vs. IDFB (25%), leading to potential share price underperformance.
Exhibit 7: IDFB currently trades at a 13% discount to
peers; we believe it warrants a higher discount

Comparison with corporate-oriented banks on multiple metrics


While we acknowledge that a direct comparison between IDFB and other existing banks
may not be indicative as operating metrics differ depending on macro, interest rate cycles,
liquidity conditions etc., we believe the trajectory that these banks have witnessed, could
be useful to get a sense as to how IDFBs operating metrics may progress. We expect:
(1) Loan book mix to gradually change like the way it did for other banks in the past.
However, it will remain wholesale heavy, in our view.

(2) Net interest margins to initially compress due to priority sector requirements.
However, we expect it to improve over time due to change in loan book mix and
improvement in CASA ratio. We believe the trajectory would be similar to what was
seen at ICICI Bank given reverse merger by parent with itself that increased regulatory
reserve requirement such as SLR (statutory liquidity ratio), CRR (cash reserve ratio)
and PSL (priority sector lending).

(3) Branch expansion and opex ratios: IDFB is focusing on ramping up distribution
network in rural/semi urban areas to build its micro/PSL eligible book. While this is a
right move in our view, we believe branch expansion is equally important in
metro/urban areas, besides focusing on digital banking platforms. A look at other
banks indicates most banks largely have a uniform distribution mix. Having said that,
we believe due to gradual recovery in macro, the recovery in IDFBs topline will be
gradual and hence its cost-to-income ratio would be stretched initially till FY19E.
However, given intense competition from existing large banks and smaller private
banks (including new specialized banks) and regulatory requirements like NSFR (net
stable funding ratio) and LCR (liquidity coverage ratio), we believe IDFB would need to
focus on building a granular deposit base.
Exhibit 20: While the bank will focus initially on
rural/semi urban, it will need to ramp up network even in
metro/urban eventually, in our view

Strategy: A mixed bag


IDFBs strategy appears to be a mixed bag at this stage. While focusing on micro loans to
meet priority sector loans targets, and leveraging and deepening existing relationships are
steps in the right direction, its strategy on the retail and consumer banking segments
(excluding rural) could have been better as expediting retail build out could help partially
offset higher regulatory costs (SLR, CRR and PSL). Management plans to initially mainly
rely on its digital platform for consumer banking, which we are uncertain as to how
successful it would be as there is no precedence in India. Moreover, other private banks
continue to focus on branch expansion to grab market share, besides focusing on digital
channels. We believe IDFBs ROA would remain low at c.1% in FY17E before recovering to
a sustainable level of c.1.6% by FY24E.

1. Domain expertise in infra-related
project finance should be helpful;
2. Understanding / involvement in govt.
policies a plus;
3. Current deposits and off balance sheet
businesses should benefit from existing
relationships
4. While execution and macro pick up
will be the key, we expect IDFB to grow
non-infra piece at 46% CAGR over
FY17E-24E

GS View
1. A right strategy in our view as cost
for not meeting PSL is onerous
2. We estimate rural/micro could
grow at 44% CAGR to c.8% of loan
book by FY24E
3. Profitability wise, while NIMs
would be better, opex will be higher
initially

1. We are somehow not excited about


the strategy, at least for now
2. While digital is an important
platform, branches are equally
important esp. in metro and urban
centers which can be more profitable
over time given scalability, cross sell
opportunities and higher CASA
balances in metro and urban
3. PVT banks still expanding
distribution network despite focusing
on digital channels

Profitability to recover only gradually and remain below median


We estimate that IDFBs ROA will be lower initially, due to: (1) priority sector gap and likely
penalty on non-compliance; we estimate IDFB to buy-out eligible securities from micro
finance institutions (MFIs)/non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to meet PSL
requirements; (2) higher operating cost on ramp up of distribution mix; and (3) lower fee
income. We expect IDFBs ROA to initially decline to c.1% in FY17E (first full year of
operation) and recover to levels of 1.5%-1.6% over the next 7-8 years, similar to other
corporate-oriented banks.
In terms of its new strategy, we view its focus on micro lending as positive in the long run
as it will limit potential penalties related to the non-compliance of PSLs (priority sector
loans). In the short run, while it will support NIMs, it will be opex heavy. We believe key to
higher ROAs include better CASA ratio, retail fee income and growth pick up.

Sensitivity analysis on ROA: Bull and Bear case


We attempt to construct both bull and bear case scenarios based on varied past examples,
such as: (1) Axis Bank/FED Bank for fee income trajectory; (2) ICBK/AXBK for opex ratios; in
addition to (3) sensitivity to NIMs on 100bps sensitivity on CASA loans and high yielding
book. Though we acknowledge that each of these banks have had different business
trajectories and cycles and may not be fully representative, we feel it could provide some
anchor.
The key assumptions for our sensitivity analysis:
Bull case: (1) Higher average NIMs by 18bps over FY18-24E driven by 100bps higher CASA
ratio, better high-yielding loan book and better tier I ratio; (2) higher fee income to assets of
6bps, based on trajectory seen in first 10 years of Axis Banks operations; and (3) slightly
better opex to assets, taking best case example of Axis Bank though we acknowledge that
Axis did not have any legacy book. This leads to higher ROAs at 1.76%, similar to above
median ROAs in the banking system currently.

Bear case: (1) Lower average NIMs by 17bps driven by lower CASA ratio, lower mix of
high-yielding book and lower Tier I ratio by 100bps; (2) lower fee income by 11bps, similar
to FED Bank (old private sector); and (3) higher opex ratio based on average of ICBK and
AXBK. This leads to lower ROAs of c.1%, much lower than private banks average of c.1.7%.

Risk reward unfavorable; initiate at Sell with 8% downside


Given our view that IDFBs ROA is likely to remain subdued (we expect c.1.5% by FY21E)
while growth will pick up gradually over the medium term, we expect IDFB to trade at 1.4X
12-month forward banking book (FY18E book value discounted to 2QFY17E), as implied by
our RIM (residual income model) derived banking value of Rs52/share. In addition to the
banking business, we also incorporate value for the existing private equity and project
equity AUMs (Rs5/share, based on 10%-15% of AUMs) in our derivation of IDFBs target
price as management has transferred the existing investment book to IDFB post the
demerger.
We adopt the RIM methodology to value IDFBs banking business in line with the
methodology used to value the lending business of all other banks in our coverage.
The RIM methodology values stocks by adding the book value of the company to the
present value of residual income (based on ROE vs. cost of equity) over a 12-year forecast
period, and the present value of a terminal value (based on our long-term total asset
growth and ROE assumptions).
We see IDFBs risk reward profile as unfavorable, with the stock trading at 1.5X 12-month
forward book, +28%/-22%/-24% vs. the valuations of ICBK/AXBK/YES. We believe our Buyrated PVT banks (YES Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and FED Bank), which offer upsides of
21%-37%, are better positioned as they offer higher return ratios, liability franchise and
diversified loan with relatively lower implementation risk.
We believe the governments relaxation of foreign ownership limits for PVT banks
(removing sub limits within foreign ownership), thereby creating ample ownership room in
PVT banks (27%-41%) vs. IDFB (25%), would also lead to the latters share price
underperformance. Hence, we initiate coverage on IDFB at Sell with a 12-month SOTPbased target price of Rs57.

Comparison with Yes Bank


Based on our interaction with investors, we realised that some of them are of the view that
IDFBs valuation multiple could be compared with the initial trading multiples of YES Bank,
as they believe IDFBs growth would be strong, ROAs and ROEs would improve
significantly, and asset quality is better. While we agree with some of the points such as
scope for higher growth and asset quality not being a major concern, we believe YES Bank
would not be a right comparison from a valuation perspective given: (1) the market itself
was trading at premium valuations when YES Bank was listed; (2) YES Bank did not have
any legacy book and it managed to deliver much higher ROEs due to adequate
capitalization levels (though the ROA trajectory will likely be similar); (3) the macro
environment was picking up and was much better than the current environment; and (4)
YES Bank did not have any legacy asset quality issues.

1.

2.

3.

Growth at IDFC Bank will be fairly strong as overall market share is insignificant
in systems loan book

IDFBs headline growth will be relatively lower in the initial phase, in our view,
because of the lack of pick up infrastructure activity. We believe most of the
growth would be driven by non-infra/rural banking/SME. On non-infrastructure
corporate loans, given that competition from existing PVT banks to gain market
share in corporate loans has picked up (average growth over the past four quarters
in corporate book: HDBK 23.7% yoy, AXBK 21% yoy), IDFBs profitability could
be pressured.

We believe investors focus would gradually shift to the profitability of IDFBs loan
growth and whether it is sustainable in the absence of a strong retail liability
franchise. Further, we believe IDFB would also need to maintain high levels of
liquid assets due to stringent liquidity coverage norms which in turn would be a
drag on profitability.

Asset quality pain is behind us

While we acknowledge that cleaning up of bad loans is a prudent move and it will
insulate the banking business from any legacy book issues, we believe the net
impaired loans would continue to be fairly high at c.6% of net loans in FY16E (ICBK
at 4.5%; AXBK at 3%).

We estimate the PCR excluding gas based projects would be c.35%. As such, we
assume minimum coverage of +50% on the entire stressed book (including 5/25
refinance) for other PVT banks.

In terms of recovery from these bad loans, we believe discom reforms and
availability of gas to power projects would be positive, but it would be difficult to
estimate the provisioning release due to that. Moreover, we estimate a low loan
loss provisions in the initial 3-5 year period to factor in some benefit due to an
improving macro.

Downside is limited as IDFB is already trading at a discount to other PVT banks

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

IDFC Banks valuation (12-month forward P/B) is +28%/-22%/-24% vs. the


valuations of other corporate-oriented banks such as ICBK/AXBK/YES respectively
for: (1) subdued ROA trajectory; (2) no retail liability franchise which will take a
fairly long period of time to build; and (3) concentration of loan book in wholesale
than in retail.

November 30, 2015

IDFC Bank Ltd (IDFB.BO)

4.

YES Bank as a fledgling bank traded at 4.6X P/B in the first three years post
listing, providing meaningful indications of where IDFB could trade at
a)

YES Bank did not have any legacy book to deal with as is the case with IDFB and
hence profitability was not marred in any way;

b)

YES Bank did not have to immediately onboard PSL assets as it did not have any
legacy book unlike IDFB due to regulatory pressures;

c)

YES Bank generated 1.5%-1.6% ROAs and 14%-20% ROEs in its first five years of
operations; and

d)

P/B multiple for the overall market was at a 36% premium to its 10-year average.
However, the market currently trades at c.3.2X, 6% lower vs. its 10-year average.

IDFC Bank Ltd (IDFB.BO)

Key risks
1)

Better macro impacting loan growth and asset quality: If the macro situation
recovers faster than expected, IDFB could benefit on multiple accounts: (1) Asset
quality: With IDFB declaring potential problem loans and making extra provisions
of c.Rs26bn, which is c.20% of its net worth, the probability of recovering this
amount will increase. (2) Loan growth: IDFB may see an early pick up in loan
growth amid a better macro backdrop and revival of the capex cycle.

2)

Faster improvement in operating leverage: We expect IDFBs ROAs to be


impacted by higher opex ratios in the near term. However, if IDFB were to grow
faster than expected and improve efficiency over the medium term by effectively
using its digital platforms, better cross-selling ratio etc., its ROAs could improve
faster. Our sensitivity analysis indicates that its opex ratio could improve by c.4bps
in FY18E-24E on a faster improvement in operating leverage.

3)

Better strategy on retail business: IDFBs retail franchise could be a critical factor
in developing CASA deposits and retail fee income. We estimate that a 100bps
increase in CASA deposits could drive up NIMs by 17bps. Hence, a better strategy
on retail could lead to better NIMs and fee income on higher cross-selling ratio etc.

4)

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

Higher P/B valuations: We believe: (1) the markets expectation of robust growth
momentum led by diversified loan book; (2) likely better asset quality trends given
clean-up of legacy book; (3) opening of FII legroom; and (4) index inclusion are
potential reasons that could drive valuations higher than we foresee. However, we
do not expect such high valuations to be sustainable given our muted view on the
macro and micro strategy.

Investment Profile
The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and
market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth, returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites
of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage universe.
The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate
of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI, ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend
yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month volatility adjusted for dividends.

Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for
in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.

GS SUSTAIN
GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list
includes leaders our analysis shows to be well positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and
superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate
performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the
environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitions


Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy

or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock's return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as
a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a
global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and 10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular coverage
group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee. Regional Conviction Buy and Sell lists represent investment
recommendations focused on either the size of the potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return.
Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated
with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each
report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at
http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one of the following coverage views which represents the analyst's investment outlook
on the coverage group relative to the group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The investment outlook over the following 12
months is favorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the
following 12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over
the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation.
Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an
advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman

Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended

appropriate, but various regulations may prevent us from doing so. Other than certain industry reports published on a periodic basis, the large
majority of reports are published at irregular intervals as appropriate in the analyst's judgment.

and investing businesses may make investment decisions that are inconsistent with the recommendations or views expressed in this research.
The analysts named in this report may have from time to time discussed with our clients, including Goldman Sachs salespersons and traders, or may
discuss in this report, trading strategies that reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term impact on the market price of the equity
securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analyst's published price target expectations for such stocks. Any
such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analyst's fundamental equity rating for such stocks, which rating reflects a stock's
return potential relative to its coverage group as described herein.
We and our affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, excluding equity and credit analysts, will from time to time have long or short positions in,
act as principal in, and buy or sell, the securities or derivatives, if any, referred to in this research.

illegal. It does not constitute a personal recommendation or take into account the particular investment objectives, financial situations, or needs of
individual clients. Clients should consider whether any advice or recommendation in this research is suitable for their particular circumstances and, if
appropriate, seek professional advice, including tax advice. The price and value of investments referred to in this research and the income from them
