Repco Home Finance - Q1 FY22 Result Report - YES Securities

(Rating: BUY, TP: Rs 420, Upside: 38.5%)

Asset quality recovery pivotal for valuation re-rating

- Though Repco's PPOP performance was in-line with our estimates, a higher credit cost from increase in the stress pool (GNPL + OTR at 9.5%) depressed the earnings. Company restructured 5.2% of the portfolio; primarily accounts which were regular or in Stage-1 on March 31. OTR 2.0 portfolio comprises 85% Home Loans (mainly SE customers) and 15% LAP.

- The collection efficiency was impacted during the quarter due to the second pandemic wave and a higher impact on Repco's portfolio due to concentration of semi-formal salaried and self-employed customers and the Southern markets which had a prolonged impact. Collection efficiency in June was around 90% (w/o arrears and excl. demand of restructured assets) and it has improved in July.

- As we factor lower growth (sluggish disbursement acceleration + persistence of significant BT Out) and build higher credit cost, we revise earnings/BV estimates downwards by 15%/5% for FY22.

- While anemic growth had been a consistent feature over the past many quarters, the deterioration in asset quality (in the absence of moratorium) could preclude stock's valuation (0.8x FY23 P/ABV) from re-rating materially.

- Thus, key monitorable will be collection efficiency trends which would reflect upon the performance of the stress pool. Retain BUY, but lower 12m PT to Rs420.
