Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services - Q1 FY22 Result Report - YES Securities

(Rating: BUY, TP: Rs 180, Upside: 21.6%)

Asset quality improvement key to stock's outperformance

- MMFS reported a large loss of Rs15.3bn (10%+ of Net-worth) in Q1 FY22 due to substantial deterioration in PAR metric that depressed NII and inflated credit cost.

- Substantial interest reversal of Rs2bn drove 200+ bps decline in portfolio yield which caused NIM (Gross Spread) compression on qoq basis.

- The substantial spike in PAR 30 (from 21.5% to 35%+ incl. w/offs) mandated ECL provisioning of Rs24.3bn in Q1 FY22.

- Management expects rollbacks and provisioning release in H2 FY22 for majority loan contracts that slipped into Stage 2 & 3 buckets during Q1 FY22.

- There has been a sharp improvement in collection efficiency since mid-June. In our assessment, there exists high probability of absolute credit cost for the full-year being materially lower than Q1 FY22 if collections were to not see another disruptive phase.

- While MMFS's has disappointed on asset quality and growth in the recent past, stock's valuation at 1.3x FY23 P/ABV has limited room for further de-rating. Rather a re-rating could ensue if collections and business environment witness a sustained recovery.
