Axis bank Q1FY2020 - Result Update: Angel Broking

Mr. Jaikishan Parmar (Sr. Equity Research Analyst - BFSI, Angel Broking):

"Provision, slippages surge; New set of potential stressed asset disclosed:

Provisions during the quarter increased by 41%/14% qoq/yoy primarily owing to higher slippages and additional provision (land held as non baking asset and non fund based outstanding in NPA/ weak asset). Key disappointment was new list of potential stressed loan in 8 stressed corporate groups. Total exposure to above corporate was Rs. 12,200cr of which Rs. 7,000cr was through advances, Rs. 2,200cr through investment in bonds and non-fund based exposure worth of Rs. 3,000cr (Exhibit 4). Out of this, exposure worth Rs. 6,700cr is not part of BB & below book and NPA. However, bank has taken additional contingent provision worth Rs. 2,358cr over last few quarters. Overall stress asset (BB & Below+SR+NFB) went up by 140bps qoq to 3.94%."
