Industry Outlook - Banking on Revival

Concerns over Asset quality and slowing Credit demand are now receding

Concerns over Asset quality and slowing Credit growth, that were a major overhang over both the
Private and PSU Bank stocks, are now receding as the GDP growth outlook continues to improve.
We maintain our view that Monetary softening, strong Domestic Savings and falling Interest rates
will help revive domestic demand from late FY2010E and subscribe to the view that stimulus
packages and bank bailouts will continue to stabilise developed economies over a similar timeframe.
With capital markets reviving and equity issuances on the rise, aided further by internal generation,
leverage levels should also come down over the next 9-12 months, even as domestic demand
picks up. This should help create a base for revival in credit demand 2HFY2010E onwards. Overall,
given the reasonable mid-cycle valuations, we believe a longer term investment perspective needs
to be adopted to take advantage of the imminent upturn in GDP growth.

RBI's OMOs should keep Interest rates low

The central government's fiscal deficit estimate for FY2010E has been increased to 6.8% of GDP,
while the ceiling for overall state government fiscal deficit has been increased to 4%. This further
increase in fiscal deficit could be a short-term overhang for the Banking Sector. However, we see
this as an opportunity to invest in bank stocks, as interest rates are unlikely to go up, given our
strong domestic savings and RBI's liquidity infusions that amount to indirect monetisation of the
deficit (the RBI is doing this through a huge Rs80,000cr of Open Market Operations, planned in
the first half of this fiscal. Notably, post the recent Union Budget, indications from the government
are that this indirect financing by the RBI could be stepped up to Rs2lakh cr).

Banking Sector amongst biggest beneficiaries of reviving GDP growth

With GDP growth reviving, the banking sector will be amongst the biggest beneficiaries. As low
lending rates work through the system for a few quarters, we believe a base will be created for
revival of Retail credit demand and gradually capex demand, even though a perceptible trend
reversal in overall credit growth is likely to occur only in FY2011E.

Cost efficient, Technologically up-to-date network underpins Profitable growth
in line with Industry

Marketshare has been maintained over the past ten years

SIB's largely semi-urban branch network is concentrated in the Southern states of India. While
enjoying customer loyalty spanning many years, the Bank has ensured that it remains sufficiently
in step with product, technology and service level developments in the industry. As a result, the
Bank has maintained its marketshare in not just Advances and Deposits, but also CASA Deposits
over the past ten years. The Bank was one of the first amongst its peers to have its network on the
Core Banking platform and presently offers its clients standard products and channel options,
including net banking, etc.

Operating efficiency has improved aided by early tech adoption

In line with industry trends, the Bank has substantially improved its operating efficiency aided by
technology and natural operating leverage. As a result, SIB's operating expenses, as a % of
assets, are low which has helped it maintain reasonable Return on Assets (RoA). Although, the
Bank has further scope for operating leverage, we do not expect it to be higher than its private and
PSU peers. Consequently, in line with our industry view, we do not expect further operating
leverage to accrue to the Bank at the RoA level, since industry-wide improvements have been
usually passed on.

Incidentally, the Bank incurred certain one-time Staff expenses in FY2009 that resulted in its Staff
cost increasing by 46% yoy (further exacerbated by provisions for imminent wage hikes). While
SIB has made further provisions for wage hikes up to 17% of wages in 1QFY2010, based on our
discussion with management, we expect overall growth in the Bank's Staff expenses to be limited
to around 5% in FY2010E.

Steady branch expansion strategy in place

45 branches to be opened in
FY2010E, 250 over next four
years
Management also indicated that it intends to open around 45 branches in FY2010E as a part of its
plans to open a total of around 250 branches over the next four years. About 150 of these branches
are intended to be opened outside South India, where the Bank's strategy is to have a presence in
key centers, partly to widen its customer base as well as meet the requirements of its existing
clients. This is in keeping with the Bank's strategy to plug all gaps in its offerings. At the same time,
the management intends to keep a tight leash on incremental expenses by avoiding very expensive
locations for its new branches. Thus, while in the medium term, structural competition from newer
private banks could become increasingly challenging, SIB's overall strategy and execution has
been creditable in the past few years and the management's enunciated strategy continues to be
credible and reasonable, underpinning our positive outlook in the medium term.

Niche NRI Deposit base underpins Deposit cost advantage over several peers
Outsized NRE Deposit The Bank's Deposit franchise includes a niche NRI customer base that contributes a meaningful
marketshare of 3.2% 17% of its total deposits and gives it a distinguishing cost advantage over several of its peers. The
Bank's marketshare in NRE Deposits stands at about 3.2% (marketshare with respect to overall
NRI Deposits stands at about 1.9%). This is significantly higher than the Bank's overall marketshare
of 0.4% of total deposits. The cost of NRE Deposits, which is about 3.5-4% at present, puts these
deposits just a notch above CASA Deposits that have a blended cost of 2-2.5%.

NRE deposit base a significant cost advantage

Fall in wholesale deposit rates
to further aid NIMs
The NRE deposit base puts the quality of the Bank's deposit mix above that of several other
mid-sized PSU and Private banks. However, till recently the high component of bulk deposits (at
about 18-20% of overall deposits) was putting pressure on the Bank's overall cost of funds. But
now, wholesale deposit rates have declined sharply. As a result, we believe that the Bank will be in
a position to largely maintain its NIMs in FY2010E at about 2.8% notwithstanding structural
competitive pressures for most mid-sized banks like itself over the medium term.

Environment has turned conducive for cheap NRE deposit inflows recently

Moreover, the environment has become meaningfully more conducive for NRE deposits. The
RBI-mandated maximum spread to LIBOR permitted for NRE deposits stands at a high of 175bp
and is unlikely to be brought down for the time being considering that overall forex inflows into the
country remains subdued. The LIBOR itself is at very low levels of 1-2% due to the substantial
global liquidity created by major central banks such as the US Federal Reserve. Moreover, the
outlook on the Rupee exchange rate is also benign in the near term, creating the incentive of
further upside on NRE deposits through Rupee appreciation.

Huge NRI deposit inflows in 4QFY2009

In 4QFY2009 alone, the quantum of inflows in the form NRI deposits was a huge Rs10,826cr,
much above the average level of Rs3,200cr in the preceding three quarters and a paltry Rs706cr
of total NRI inflows in FY2008. It should be noted that a good chunk of this was attributable to
terminal inflows ie. money being brought back into the country by returning expatriates who lost
their jobs as a fall-out of the ongoing global crisis (about 1.5 lakh individuals are estimated to have
returned to India in 4QFY2009).

SIB to benefit moderately

Our discussion with management about the profile of its NRI customer base indicates that its
typical NRI customers belong to the Middle-Income Segment, working in the Middle-East and
having a family back home, usually in the semi-urban areas of the Southern states where the
Bank has most of its branches. Having had long-lasting ties with the Bank, there is usually a
substantial sense of customer loyalty from them. Typically, customers remit money to India either
for their families or because they feel more comfortable about the safety of their wealth saved in
Indian Rupees, since they eventually want to return back to the country. That is to say, a good
majority of the Bank's customers may not necessarily be very sensitive to near-term increase in
spreads or improvement in exchange rate outlook. Also, given the higher rates available on domestic
deposits (NRO accounts for NRIs), the Bank has seen a good chunk of NRI deposit inflows moving
into NRO accounts.

Tie-ups with 24 Middle-Eastern exchange houses to help

Having said that, the fact remains that the outlook for NRE inflows has improved and given the
Bank's substantial marketshare in this Segment, it is likely to receive a reasonable share of these
inflows. Added to its existing customer base in this Segment, the increasing tie-ups with
Middle-Eastern exchange houses are also expected to help the Bank garner a reasonable share
of incremental inflows. Under these tie-ups, the Bank deputes 8-10 members of its staff for
undertaking complete management of these exchange houses. This gives the Bank front-end
access to new NRI customers to whom its staff can cross-sell the Bank's deposit products. The
Bank added a few thousand customers through this route in FY2009. The Bank has also entered
into tie-ups with other financial services companies such as Geojit Securities to offer a wider
bouquet of services to its NRI customer base.

Financial Analysis
Growth in line with industry

Low cost of funds due to NRE
deposits aid healthy NII growth
outlook
We rate the Bank's peer group (ie. old private sector banks) on an average, broadly on par with
mid-sized PSU banks in terms of RoE and growth potential. Specifically, in case of SIB, as described
earlier, it has done a creditable job of maintaining its marketshare in Deposits and Advances over
the past ten years. Moreover, its low-cost NRI deposit base gives it a cost advantage over several
peers. While it's overall cost of funds is not significantly lower, this is mainly because of high bulk
deposits that are now likely to get priced downwards. However, we have not factored in improvement
in NIMs above 2.8% delivered in FY2009, in line with our view that smaller banks have consistently
passed on any benefits from cost improvements to customers to ward off stiff competition from
new private banks. This coincides with our estimated 17% CAGR in the Bank's Balance Sheet
over FY2009-11E that implies marketshare being largely maintained over this period.

Fee Income low; however, overall a Profitable standalone franchise

The Bank's funding cost advantage, to an extent, is eroded by its lower core Fee Income compared
to peers. The Bank's Fee Income is lower than industry averages partially due to the limited
opportunities to extend Fee Income services, especially in the newer segments, due to the typical
profile of the Bank's customer base. Management stated its charges for the traditional Fee Income
streams are on par with competition.

Keeping in mind the Bank's typical customer base, general trends in its peer group and
management's outlook on Fee Income, we have not factored in any improvement in Fee income
as a percentage of average assets ie. we expect Fee income (mainly from traditional sources) to
continue growing more or less in line with Balance Sheet growth. That said, upsides to Profitability
could accrue from economies of cross-sell, which potential acquirers with a wider and more
established product and service range can leverage more effectively. In any case, in our view, the
Bank's cost-efficient and technologically up-to-date network constitutes a reasonably attractive
and profitable standalone franchise as well.

Opex costs, as % of average assets, to fall in FY2010E

We expect the Bank's Operating expenses to post a sedate 10% CAGR over FY2009-11E, mainly
due to a higher base of Staff expenses in FY2009 on account of one-time expenses (over and
above wage hike provisions). As a result, Opex, as a percentage of average assets, is expected to
fall in FY2010E back to FY2008 levels of 1.6%.

Low provisioning costs appear unsustainable

We have factored 10bp Incidentally, the Bank's provisioning expenses have declined significantly over FY2008-09, which
increase in NPA provisioning we believe is unsustainable. Accordingly, we have factored in a 10bp fall in NIMs adjusted for
costs by FY2011E provisioning expenses over FY2009-11E. Further downsides on this front represent a key investment
risk. The Bank's SLR book is largely de-risked, with only 16% of SLR investments in the AFS
portfolio, having a low duration of 0.7 years. The non-SLR book however, comprises a large 34%
of overall investments.

SIB should be able to sustain 14-16% normalised RoEs

We believe the Bank will be able to sustain RoAs at around 1% levels over FY2009-11E,
notwithstanding structural competitive pressures from new private banks. In line with peers, the
Bank has a high Tier 1 ratio of 13.2% (as per Basel 2 norms) and management has indicated that
it is comfortable with a Tier 1 ratio of 10% on the lower side (as against 7-8% for PSU and new
Private Banks due to their ability to raise cheaper bond capital). Accordingly, we believe that the
Bank's normalised core RoEs would remain in the range of 14-16% over the medium term (with a
downward bias on account of competitive pressures). We expect SIB's RoEs to average around
16% over FY2009-11E and expect Net Profit to post 17% CAGR over the mentioned period.

Concerns
Asset quality pressures
Cyclical asset quality The Bank's asset quality has improved substantially FY2002 onwards in line with industry trends
deterioration to continue over underpinned by strong economic growth and improving recovery mechanisms. Especially over
the next few quarters in line FY2006-08, the Bank's gross NPAs fell from 5% to 1.8% while Net NPAs declined from 1.9% to
with industry 0.3%. In 4QFY2010, the Bank had a large technical slippage of Rs100cr that subsequently became
standard in 1QFY2010. Including this technical slippage, the Bank's slippage rate for FY2009 was
1.6%, but excluding this it was around 0.7%, similar to the slippage rate in FY2008. Going forward,
we believe that in line with industry trends, the Bank may also continue to face asset quality
pressures over the next few quarters. However, with the economic outlook improving, we expect
the Bank's asset quality to start stabilising increasingly 2HFY2010E onwards. The Bank’s
Restructured loans at about 20% of its Net Worth are also well below industry averages.

Increase in provisioning costs expected in light of credit mix and deteriorating provision
coverage

Moderate increase in NPA
provisioning costs expected
irrespective of industry cycle
Given the Bank's credit mix that includes a substantial proportion of Personal and SME loans
(also reflected in its higher yield on assets), we do not expect the Bank's low NPA provisioning
costs over FY2008-09 to be sustainable from a structural point-of-view, notwithstanding a cyclical
improvement in industry-wide asset quality outlook. Accordingly, we have factored in an increase
in NPA provisioning costs, as a percentage of average assets, from 0.15% in FY2009 to 0.3% in
FY2011E. This is also taking into account deterioration in the Bank's provision coverage from 82%
in FY2008 to 64% in 1QFY2010 in spite of the above-mentioned technical slippage becoming
standard.

Competitive pressures

We expect structural competition from the newer Private Banks to be substantial in the medium
term. However, SIB's overall strategy and execution has been creditable over the past few years,
with the Bank maintaining its marketshare even in CASA deposits. While we expect a loss in
marketshare for the peer group that the Bank belongs to, however, based on the Bank's track
record, and keeping in mind the importance of customer loyalty in the Banking Industry, we expect
the bank to deliver profitable growth above the average growth rate of its peer group over the
medium term.

Outlook and Valuation

25% discount to peer group
average unjustified in our view
Trading at an unjustified discount to peers
We rate the Bank's peer group (ie. old Private Banks), on an average, broadly on par with
mid-sized PSU Banks in terms of RoE and growth potential. While the Bank's core profitability and
growth outlook are above average compared to its peers, it is trading at the cheapest valuations.
SIB's current valuations at 0.7x FY2011E represents an almost 25% discount to the average
multiple at which its peer group is trading. Specifically, current valuations represent 10-20% discount
to peers such as Karnataka Bank, City Union Bank, Lakshmi Vilas Bank and Bank of Rajasthan,
while in our view, the Bank scores above these banks on core Return and growth parameters.

Median multiples not indicative in light of improved financial performance

Improved operating Current valuations are close to median levels of 0.7x 1-year forward ABV that the Bank has traded
performance can justify at since FY2002. However, since then the Bank's operational and financial performance has
mid-cycle valuations of about improved consistently, including on the Asset quality front. We expect the bank to deliver profitable
1.0-1.2x growth above the average growth rate for its peer group and sustain normalised RoEs at 14-16%
levels, which in our view can justify mid-cycle valuations of 1.0-1.2x 1-year forward ABV.

Attractive merger candidate

Potential for EPS and Book Given that SIB has the potential to deliver healthy Return Ratios close to the Sectoral averages
accretion increase and enjoys a strong niche franchise in the semi-urban areas of South India as well as a niche NRI
attractiveness from M&A customer base, we believe it is an attractive merger candidate. Moreover, keeping in mind the
standpoint Bank's cheap valuations in terms of both P/ABV and P/E, acquisition by larger banks, especially
Private Banks trading between 2.0-3.0x P/ABV, would be accretive for the acquirer, both in terms
of EPS as well as Book Value. However, asset quality concerns in respect of the Bank's existing
credit book as well as its highly dispersed shareholding represent hurdles to any potential acquisition.

Overall, we believe that current valuations provide a reasonable margin of safety from inherent
and cyclical asset quality pressures as well as structural competitive pressures from the larger
Private Banks that are increasingly penetrating deeper into Tier II and Tier III towns. At the CMP,
the stock is trading at 4.5x FY2011E EPS and 0.7x FY2011E ABV. We value the stock at 0.9x
FY2011E ABV to arrive at a Target Price of Rs135, implying an upside of 26%. We Initiate Coverage
on the stock with a Buy recommendation.
