Federal Bank (FB) reported moderation in 4QFY20 business growth affected
by the weak environment. The bank made higher COVID-19 related
provisions of INR930m, which dragged earnings in the quarter. PPoP was
strong at 27% YoY (aided by treasury gains) while moratorium book stood at
35%. Lower slippages (as FB availed dispensation given by the RBI) and
higher provisions, resulted in overall improvement in asset quality/PCR.
We have cut our FY21E estimates sharply by 19% as we factor in higher
credit cost and slight moderation in business growth. However, we largely
maintain our FY22E estimates. Maintain
Buy.

PPoP beat led by treasury gains; Higher provisions impact earnings
4QFY20 PAT came in at INR3.0b (-21% YoY; MOSLE: INR3.9b) affected by
higher provisions as FB made COVID-19 related provisions of INR930m. NII
grew 11% YoY (INR12.2b) as margins expanded 4bp QoQ to 3%.
Core fee income grew 13% YoY while higher treasury income resulted in
total income growth of 28% YoY. Opex grew 28% YoY as the bank made
additional employee cost provisions of INR1.2b. PPoP, thus, grew 27% YoY
to INR9.6b. C/I ratio declined ~220bp QoQ to 50.2%.
For FY20,
NII/PPoP/PAT grew 11%/16%/24%.
Loan growth moderated to 11% YoY, led by sluggish trends in
corporate/SME, while retail loans grew 19% YoY. Within retail, housing and
mortgage grew a robust ~18-19% YoY. Deposit base grew 13% YoY led by
moderation in CASA deposits. CASA mix stood at 30.5% (-96bp QoQ).
Fresh slippages stood lower at INR2.8b (1.1% annualized), as FB availed the
RBI dispensation, which otherwise would have resulted in additional
slippages of INR3b. GNPA/NNPA ratio, thus, moderated by 15bp/31bp QoQ
while PCR increased ~810bp QoQ to 54.5% (72.5% incl. technical w/o). Total
SMA book stood at INR8.4b (0.7% of total loans).
Highlights from management commentary
Moratorium by value:
The proportion of customers that have availed the
moratorium for segments – Agri (31%), Retail (38%), Business Banking
(79%), Commercial Banking (53%) and Corporate (20%). Overall, 35% of the
total portfolio in value have availed moratorium.
NIMs would remain stable over the next two quarters while some pressure
could be seen from 3QFY21, depending on the macro environment.
FB has reported moderation in business growth, reflecting a challenging
economic environment impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. We expect
overall loan growth to get affected due to reduced economic activity and
the ongoing lockdown. Though the bank has lower quantum of stressed
