Key Data LICH.BO | LICHF IN

 Margins to stay soft: Growing competitive intensity, INDAS implication (that
52-W High / Low Rs.691 / Rs.455
Sensex / Nifty 38,694 / 11,692 also led to 39 bps dip in loan yields YoY) and higher base (lower interest rates

Shares Outstanding 505m
3M Avg. Daily Value Rs.1817.12m (Rs 1.4 lakh crs back-book) re-pricing benefits (50bps rate spike from April –

Stock Performance (%)  GNPA up, recoveries flowing: GNPA stood at 1.21% vs 0.72% in Q1FY18
1M 6M 12M on Stage 3 INDAS based accounting largely due to 5-6 lumpy developer NPAs.
Absolute (1.7) 3.6 (19.8)
Relative (5.1) (8.1) (34.5) While one such developer recovery of Rs 400mn on principal component came
through, another Rs 300mn should flow through interest component with

shwetadatpardar@plindia.com | 91-22-66322245 at 8.9% (small accounts), Q1FY19 also witnessed marginal spike in individual
Pritesh Bumb GNPAs (LRDs). Certain high value lumpy developer accounts and slower loan
priteshbumb@plindia.com | 91-22-66322232 growth trends prompt us to build-in higher conservatism into our GNPA (earlier:
