KMB earned the best NIM in the industry at 4.7-5% led by high yielding
retail loans and working capital corporate loans. NII has grown from
| 1858 crore in FY10 to | 4224 crore by FY15 supported by strong credit
and savings deposit growth. Post merger, NIM has declined to 4.2% in
Q1FY16, owing to a decline in proportion of high yield retail credit and
higher interest outgo on saving account of ING Vysya Bank. However, in
Q2FY16, NIM improved 12 bps QoQ due to lower cost of deposit led by
higher accretion in CASA at 36.2%. In Q3FY16, NIM continued to remain

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 3


steady at 4.3%. Going ahead, change in loan mix is expected to keep
blended margins at current levels. However, owing to faster addition to
saving account and substantial proportion of fixed rate book with
southward movement in interest rates, we expect NIM to remain broadly
near ~4% in FY16-17E. Further, as integration benefits unfold with
proportion of retail advances rising in overall book, NIMs are expected to
revive and inch up, currently not factored by us.

Deposit franchise (branches) build-up gradually enabled KMB to maintain


healthy margins of >4.5% since FY08 despite a challenging environment.
In the past two or three years due to higher focus on savings deposits,
CASA has been stable at 31% wherein other banks saw a decline in
CASA. The combined branch network post merger is at 1298 as of
December 2015.
With strong CASA deposits growth at 24% YoY to | 44657 crore,
branches are expected to deliver a strong performance over time. Initial
cost is incurred on employees and set-up upfront. We expect deposits to
grow at 16.1% CAGR to | 165661 crore in FY17E.

Other income growth remains strong
Non interest income has grown 44.9% to | 2028 crore in FY15. Core fee
income and treasury gains enabled the bank to achieve stronger other
income. Q3FY16 saw muted YoY increase of 3.2% in non interest income
to | 722 crore, post a decline in Q2FY16 due to one-time impact of | 62
crore related to an account of credit event of a derivative customer. Also,
a change in mutual fund fees recognition from upfront to over the life, has
led to lower fee income. We expect non-interest income traction to
remain slower in FY16E and then pick up in FY17E. Hence, we expect
4.6% CAGR in FY16-17E to | 3213 crore.

Strong management, business model and controlled asset quality


KMBs asset quality has been one of the most stable with NNPA ratio of
~1% and negligible restructured assets. This depicts the strong
operational business model of the bank and the management having full
control.

GNPA surged QoQ by ~40 bps at 2.3% in Q1FY16 owing to merger


related incremental addition of stressed assets. Kotak Mahindra Bank has
identified total stress to the tune of 6% in erstwhile ING Vysya Banks
book, which constitutes 2.5% of the merged entity. In Q3FY16, asset
quality remained resilient with GNPA at 2.3%, a sequential improvement
of 5 bps. Standard restructured loans were at | 346 crore (0.3% of net
advances) owing to | 202 crore from the erstwhile ING Vysya Bank.
We expect GNPA and NNPA ratios to remain broadly stable at 2.4% and
1.0%, respectively, by FY17E. Credit cost is expected to remain higher at
80 bps (annualised) in FY16E and then come down at 0.5% (annualised) in
FY17E (management indicates additional 50 bps credit cost on account of
integration).

Kotak Securities
Kotak Securities (K-Sec), a KMB subsidiary, has been one of the large
stock broking firms offering both retail and institutional services. It had
9% market share in FY07, which declined to as low at 2.7% currently on
account of rising options volume generating lower yields and relative
lower push by the broker in the same. The company clocked an average
daily turnover of | 3,720 crore in FY07 and was at | 3920 crore in FY14,
which rose to | 7593 crore in Q2FY16 on the back of increased volumes
in the industry. However, in Q3FY16, market volumes remained weak
with Kotaks daily turnover at | 6481 crore.
The end of the JV with Goldman Sachs in May 2006 has not made any
meaningful impact on its market share. Competition intensified in the
recent past in the Indian broking space, which resulted in a fall in broking
yields for all players.

Kotak Mahindra Asset Management


Kotak AMC has grown its average AUM at 21% CAGR to | 38600 crore by
FY07-15. Its share of equity in total has been rising gradually from 14% in
FY09 to 24% in FY14. In Q3FY16, average AUM grew 41.1% YoY to
| 55133 crore. However, PAT got hit at | 4 crore in Q3FY16, owing to a
one-time operational loss during the quarter.

Kotak Mahindra Capital (KMCC)


The Kotak Mahindra Group carries on its investment banking business
through Kotak Mahindra Capital Company (KMCC), a subsidiary of Kotak
Mahindra Bank (KMB). Kotak bought the 25% stake held by Goldman
Sachs in KMCC in May 2006 by paying | 210 crore, making it a 100%
subsidiary. KMCC has a strong presence in managing equity issuances
and advising on M&A transactions and has benefited largely from the
boom in investment banking activity in India. The company de-merged its
principal and trading investments division (including primary dealership)
in March 2007 (to free up surplus capital) and now primarily operates as a
full service investment bank, offering advisory and transactional services.
It earned revenue of | 28 crore and PAT of | 6 crore in Q3FY16.

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8


Outlook and valuation
KMB has been trading at rich valuations consistently due to its superior
return ratios with FY15 RoA of 1.9%. It earns highest NIM in the industry.
This depicts its strong operational business model and management
having full control via consistent performance.

With the ING Vysya Bank merger, the bank brought down the promoter
stake from 40% to 34% and also added value and geographical synergies
in the company. For the merged entity, NIMs and RoA are expected to
remain at steady at ~4% and 10.3% in FY17E, and will continue to remain
better than peers. Factoring in higher-than-expected bottomline, check on
integration expense and prudent asset quality, we have marginally
revised our FY16-17E estimates upwards. With business synergies
expected to gain further traction, we maintain our target price at | 677,
valuing the stock on SOTP basis. Maintaining the multiple at 4.0x for the
bank, we maintain HOLD rating.

Details about merger with ING Vysya Bank (September 2014)
Effective April 1, 2015, ING Vysya Bank will merge with Kotak Bank as it
has received Competition Commission of India (CCI) and RBI approval for
an all-stock amalgamation among the banks. Post merger, Kotak
Mahindra Bank will become the fourth largest private bank with branches
at 1261, business size of | 230000 crore, employees at ~40000 and
customers at ~10 million.
With ~15.2% dilution of equity share capital, promoter holding in Kotak
Mahindra Bank is expected to decline to 34% from 40% currently, in line
with RBIs direction to bring down their holding to 30% by December
2016 and 20% by March 2018.
Rationale for deal
1. The merger would give Kotak Bank a deeper presence in southern
India as ING Vysya has two-third of its 577 branches in south. Kotak
Bank has 79% of its 684 branches in western & northern region. Thus,
the merger provides larger presence with minimum overlap
2. The merger would yield more liquidity with significant foreign
headroom in Kotak Bank even post merger, with foreign shareholding
at ~47% in the merged entity. The management indicated that they
will apply to RBI for raising the foreign holding limit to 74% from 49%
currently
3. The merger will allow Kotak Bank to leverage on large international
corporates in India with access to overseas relationships of ING
Group
4. The merger is also beneficial on the liability front as both banks have
CASA ratio of ~31%. Owing to the strong SME business, ING Vysyas
CA float is healthy. Further, there is large scope for garnering savings
balances as Kotak Bank offers a higher rate of 5.5-6%
Merged entity will have 441 branches in the Top 8 cities
Owing to lower NIMs and higher CI ratio of ING Vysya Bank, Kotaks
banking business RoA is expected to decline to ~1.0% from 1.8%
immediately. RoA can further be maintained at 1.0% in FY15-17E.
However, we believe the benefits of merger synergies will accrue over
time, which will enable the merged entity to clock healthy return ratios
post FY17E.
