Posted On : 2017-11-19 09:09:27( TIMEZONE : IST )
KVB's advances showed a moderate growth of 11.9% YoY(4.3% QoQ) to INR 442bn in 2QFY18. Growth in loan book was contributed by segments like Commercial (13.1%YoY) and Retail (12.0%YoY). The loan mix was noted at Corporate - 32.8%, Commercial- 34%, Agriculture- 17.6% & Retail-15.6%. Going forward the management has guided to grow the loan book at ~15% in FY18 driven by focus on Retail/ SME & Agri segment.
Deposits registered a stable growth (8.5%YoY, 3.2%QoQ) to INR 564bn, driven by growth in CASA deposits. CASA deposits grew strongly by 20.1%YoY, taking CASA ratio to 27.6% vs. 24.9% in 2QFY17. However, on a sequential basis, CASA de-grew by 2.3%, lead by 8% QoQ decline in demand (current account) deposits.
NII grew steadily by 12.1% YoY(3.1% QoQ) to INR 5.6bn lead by lower interest expense (de-growth of 5.6% YoY) on account of declining cost of funds. NIM improved by 20bps YoY to 3.81%. However, sequentially NIM grew marginally by 5bps from 3.76% in 1QFY18. Cost of funds dropped by 89bps YoY to 6.00% and Yield on advances decreased by 99bps YoY to 10.51%.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at 2.1x P/BV of FY19E. Considering the expectations of the management on loan growth and uptrend on margin (YoY) paints a positive picture for the bank. Though the weakening asset quality remains a cause of concern, the management sounds confident of improving the same going forward. We maintain our rating of MARKETPERFORMER with a revised target price of INR 110, assigning a P/BV of 1.9X FY19E.
Risks: Slower than expected loan growth, increase in slippages might impact earnings.
