Read More/Less


Ujjivan Small Finance Bank has submitted the names of two candidates to the Reserve Bank of India for the post of Managing Director and CEO. It also expects the amalgamation with Ujjivan Financial Services to be completed in the next 12 months.

Exuding confidence that the worst is over for the lender, Carol Furtado, Chief Operating Officer, Ujjivan SFB said the bank will focus on four key areas.

“We will be focusing on improving our portfolio quality and rebuilding our business volumes. We still want to work a lot more on retaining our talent. And digital will also be a focus area,” she told BusinessLine in an interaction.

Problems aplenty

The lender has seen a lot of attrition, including the exit of its MD and CEO Nitin Chugh earlier this year, and has been facing problems of mounting bad loans.

It reported a net loss of ₹273.79 crore for the second quarter of the fiscal due to higher provisions and lower income. Gross non-performing assets surged to ₹1,712.65 crore or 11.8 per cent of gross advances as on September 30, 2021.

“We have submitted two names as per the RBI requirement within the given timeline. We are expecting a revert from their side,” Furtado said, adding that the bank has also shortlisted people for multiple positions who are expected to join shortly.

“We have a very strong internal leadership team in place who are very well capable of taking the strategy of the bank,” she further said.

Ujjivan SFB is also expecting a much better second half of the fiscal year. “The economy is turning positive and the business seems to be getting better. We have been able to strengthen our collections, we have made adequate provision and our GNPAs have also peaked,” she said.

Disbursements in the third quarter have improved and credit demand has increased.

Q2FY22 results of Muthoot Finance

According to IDBI Capital Muthoot Finance (MUTH) reported lower growth in gold AUM at 18% YoY vs 29% YoY (Q1FY22), overall cons. AUM grew by 17% YoY; management maintained the guidance of 15% growth for FY22. Profitability growth was lower at 11% due to higher provisions. NII grew by 14.5% YoY led by a decline in margins; while PPoP grew by 17% YoY led by lower operating expenses.

The brokerage has said “Provisions of MUTH increased by 595% YoY (up 121% QoQ) due to asset quality deterioration. Stage III loan assets increased to 1.9% vs 1.2% QoQ, while the Company carries excess provision of Rs2.95bn in the balance sheet.”

Key Highlights and investment rationale for Muthoot Finance according to IDBI Capital

Key Highlights and investment rationale for Muthoot Finance according to IDBI Capital

Gold AUM growth slows down: Gold Loan AUM growth slows down to 18% YoY (up 5% QoQ) vs 29% YoY (Q1FY22) due to high base effect (32% YoY Q2FY21). Gold holdings grew by 9% YoY (up 4% QoQ) to 178 tonnes, whereas loan per 1gm of gold has increased by 7% YoY (up 1% QoQ) to Rs3,098. Management continues to guide gold loan growth to 15% YoY for FY22 on a conservative basis.

Asset quality deteriorates: Stage III loans have increased during the quarter at 1.9% vs 1.2% QoQ, which is not a cause of concern because of being backed by higher collateral. The company carries an extra provision of Rs2.95bn and an overall of Rs9.45bn (standalone business).

Margins improved sequentially: NIMs improved by 53bps QoQ to 13.46% due to a rise in yields on loans along with a decline in the cost of funds during the quarter. Similarly, spreads have also risen to 12.64% vs 12.21% QoQ.

Outlook: Given the competitive environment, management maintained guidance of 15% YoY growth for FY22. The best part in Gold finance portfolio is although NPA may inch higher; the lender can auction and recover much better as compared to other asset classes.

IDBI Capital’s take on Muthoot Finance

IDBI Capital’s take on Muthoot Finance

Muthoot Finance plans to maintain its NIMs and spreads (current NIM at 13.46% and interest spread at 12.64%) and the Gold loan AUM currently stands at INR546,821mn as of September 2021. If the gold loan volume grows per branch, OPEX will not go up proportionately (certain expenses fixed), extra staff may increase, says the brokerage’s report according to the management.

IDBI Capital has said that “We believe that MUTH with ~90% of AUM in the Gold loan portfolio has a lower risk of loss of assets versus other NBFCs. We have moved to FY24E estimates and maintained ‘BUY’ rating with a new TP of Rs.2,000 (earlier Rs.1,790), valuing it at 3x P/ABV FY24E.”
