SoftBank’s Vision Fund posts $2 bn profit, share weakness casts shadow, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

TOKYO: SoftBank Group Corp‘s Vision Fund unit on Tuesday posted a 236 billion yen ($2.14 billion) profit in the first quarter after gains from listing portfolio companies were offset by falling shares in firms like e-retailer Coupang Inc.

The Japanese conglomerate posted record annual profit in May with executives pointing to further upside from Vision Fund investments such as Chinese ride-hailing firm Didi Global Inc and “Uber for trucks” startup Full Truck Alliance Co Ltd.

Those companies listed in New York during the quarter but Chinese regulatory action has subsequently hammered valuations, underscoring SoftBank’s China risk even as the group seeks to reduce dependence on its largest asset, a stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

While the crackdown has affected returns expectations, “our broader thesis in China is unchanged: It’s still a large, growing and compelling economic opportunity,” said Vision Fund Chief Financial Officer Navneet Govil.

The turmoil is clouding the outlook for the group, whose shares have slipped a third from two-decade highs in March amid the completion of a record 2.5 trillion yen buyback. Shares closed up 0.9% ahead of earnings.

“Having a large public portfolio introduces volatility but at the same time it allows us to continue to monetise in a very disciplined manner,” said Govil.

More than two-thirds of the portfolio of the first $100 billion Vision Fund is listed or exited. SoftBank has distributed $27 billion to its limited partners since inception.

Further upside will come from listings by Indian payments firm Paytm and insurance aggregator Policybazaar as well as Southeast Asian ridehailer Grab, which is due go public via a blank-cheque company merger, Govil said. SoftBank is also ramping up investing through Vision Fund 2, to which it has committed $40 billion of capital, with the unit making 47 new investments worth $14.2 billion made in the April-June quarter alone.

In the first quarter, Vision Fund unit gains included 310 billion yen from selling shares in investments including delivery firm DoorDash Inc and ridehailer Uber Technologies Inc.

First-quarter group net profit, however, fell 39% to 762 billion yen.

SoftBank has also been betting on publicly listed shares through its SB Northstar trading unit. It held stakes in firms worth $13.6 billion at the end of June with the portfolio no longer including Microsoft Corp or Facebook Inc listed three months earlier.

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Bank of India (BoI) reported a 15 per cent year-on-year (yoy) decline in standalone net profit at ₹720 crore in the first quarter ended June 30, 2021, due to a decline in net interest income and a rise in provisions towards bad, doubtful and standard assets. The public sector bank had reported a standalone net profit of ₹844 crore in the year-ago quarter. The net profit in the reporting quarter, however, soared about three times vis-a-vis the fourth quarter’s ₹250 crore.

Net interest income falls

Net interest income (difference between interest earned and interest expended) declined about 10 per cent yoy to ₹3,144 crore (₹3,481 crore in the year-ago quarter). Total non-interest income (comprising income from commission, exchange & brokerage, profit from the sale of investments, profit from exchange transactions, recovery in written-off accounts, and other non-interest income) rose 39 per cent yoy to ₹2,377 crore (₹1,707 crore).

Within total non-interest income, profit from exchange transactions jumped 126 per cent yoy to ₹754 crore (₹333 crore), recovery in written-off accounts soared 477 per cent yoy to ₹173 crore (₹30 crore).

MD & CEO Atanu Kumar Das said total non-interest income includes a one-time inflow of ₹406 crore received on account of redemption of security receipts of an aviation account. Das observed that BoI will see an overall credit growth of 6-7 per cent in FY22, with the retail, agriculture, and MSME (RAM) segment expected to grow by about 14 per cent and corporate advances by about 5-6 per cent. Fresh slippages at ₹3,942 crore during the reporting quarter were lower vis-a-vis ₹7,368 crore in the fourth quarter (Q4) FY21 but substantially higher than year-ago quarter’s ₹402 crore. Slippages from the micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sectors accounted for 41 per cent of the total quarterly slippages, followed by agriculture (25 per cent), retail (16 per cent), corporate & others (10 per cent), and overseas (8 per cent).

PR Rajagopal, Executive Director, said the second Covid wave had a significant impact on retail and MSME borrowers. But collection efficiency in the retail segment is now at about 92 per cent. The Bank, which restructured loans aggregating ₹5,963 crore under RBI’s resolution framework 1.0 for Covid-related stress and ₹5,299 crore under the resolution framework 2.0, expects to recast about ₹5,000 crore more loans in the rest of FY22, he added.

Provisions towards bad and doubtful, and standard assets together were up 16 per cent yoy at ₹1,771 crore (₹1,526 crore).

Gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) level improved to 13.51 per cent of gross advances as at June-end 2021 against 13.91 per cent as at June-end 2020.

Net NPA level too improved to 3.35 per cent of net advances against 3.58 per cent.

Global deposits were up about 5 per cent yoy to ₹6,23,385 crore, with current account, savings account (CASA) deposits rising to 43.22 per cent of domestic deposits against 40.60 per cent in the year-ago period.

Global advances declined a shade (about 0.18 per cent yoy) to ₹4,14,697 crore, with domestic advances nudging up 1.65 per cent yoy and overseas advances declining 12 per cent yoy.

In a statement on Monday, HDFC Ltd said the profit numbers for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, however, are not directly comparable with that of the previous year. This is due to lower profit on sale of investments, lower dividend, higher charge for employee stock options and the effective tax rate of 23.1 per cent in 2021-22 as against 15.4 per cent last fiscal.

“In the previous year, the tax on capital gains on the sale of equity shares was low on account of grandfathering provisions as per the Income Tax Act, 1961,” it said.

The country’s largest mortgage financier also saw robust growth in individual loan disbursements at 181 per cent year on year in the first quarter of the fiscal.

“Business has reverted back to normal in June and July was an extremely strong month for us. July 2021 disbursements were the highest ever in a non-quarter end month. July 2021 was the third highest in the history of HDFC,” said Keki Mistry, Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, HDFC Ltd.

The gross non-performing loans as of June 30, 2021 stood at ₹11,120 crore or 2.24 per cent of the loan portfolio. This was higher compared to 1.98 per cent as on March 31, 2021 and 1.87 per cent as on June 30, 2020.

As per regulatory norms, HDFC is required to carry a total provision of ₹5,778 crore. Its expected credit loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was at ₹686 crore compared to ₹1,199 crore a year ago.

Of the loans restructured, 38 per cent are individual loans and 62 per cent non-individual loans, HDFC said, adding that of the total restructured loans, 62 per cent is in respect of just one account.

The overall collection efficiency ratio for individual loans has improved during the month of June 21 to pre-Covid levels. The collection efficiency for individual loans on a cumulative basis in June 2021 stood at 98.3 per cent compared to 98 per cent in March 2021.

Karnataka Bank Ltd (KBL) registered a net profit of ₹106.08 crore in the first quarter of 2021-22 as against a net profit of ₹196.38 crore in the corresponding period of 2020-21, recording a decline of 45.98 per cent.

Speaking to BusinessLine after the meeting of the Board of Directors on Tuesday, to approve the financial results for quarter ended June 30, Mahabaleshwara MS, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the bank, said KBL continued to be a profitable bank even during the tough times. The reduction in net profit on a year-on-year basis is mainly on account of decline in treasury gains, which is dependent on the yield movements.

Compared to the sequential previous quarter — Q4 of FY 21 — the net profit is up by 3.38 times, he said. The net profit was at ₹31.36 crore during fourth quarter of 2020-21. Sequentially, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, the net profit was higher by 238.26 per cent over the fourth quarter ended March 2021, he said.

The net interest income of the bank was at ₹574.79 crore for the quarter ended June 30 as against ₹459.14 crore for Q4 of 2020-21.

NPA declines

“In spite of the Covid-affected economy, the asset quality has improved both in terms of absolute numbers and on percentage basis,” he said. The gross NPA (non-performing assets) of the bank declined to 4.82 per cent as at June 30, compared to 4.91 per cent in the sequential previous quarter of FY 21. The gross NPAs in absolute terms declined to ₹2,549.06 crore during Q1 of 2021-22 from ₹2,588.41 crore in Q4 of 2020-21, and ₹2,557.64 crore in Q1 of 2020-21.

The net NPAs also declined to 3 per cent during Q1 of 2021-22 from 3.18 per cent at the end of Q4 of 2020-21, and 3.01 per cent as at June 30, 2020. In absolute terms, net NPAs declined to ₹1,552.95 crore during Q1 of 2021-22, from ₹1,642.10 crore in Q4 of 2020-21 and ₹1,630.65 crore in Q1 of 2020-21.

“Going forward, the bank will continue to further consolidate on credit, CASA (current account, savings account) and asset quality,” he said.

Capital

The bank may go for augmenting the capital through QIP route, depending on the market condition. Even though the CRAR is comfortable at 14.58 per cent, the decision to go for QIP route was taken mainly with an intention to onboard a few suitable institutional investors, he said, adding the process would be taken forward after the due approval of the shareholders.

On Tuesday, the scrip of Karnataka Bank closed at ₹59.05 on BSE, down 1.17 per cent, against the previous close of ₹59.75.
