Analyst's Notes

Federal Bank: Maintain HOLD - 06 Dec 2024

Federal Bank (FBL) is a mid-sized private sector bank headquartered in Kerala. As of Q2 FY25, the bank had a network of 1,533 banking outlets and 2,052 ATMs/recyclers.  The bank has a strong retail funding franchise, including a stable base of NRI deposits, largely contributed by remittances from the expatriate Indian community in the Middle East. Retail deposits form more than 90% of total deposits which gives it a very strong liability franchise. CASA i.e. Current and Savings Account, forms 30% of total liabilities. 

Below is the result summary for Q2 FY25: 

  • FBL’s total business stood at Rs. 4.99 lakh Cr with advances of Rs. 2.30 lakh Cr (up 16% YoY) and deposits of Rs. 2.69 lakh Cr (up 19% YoY) 
  • Net interest income was at a highest-ever level of Rs. 2,367 Cr while the bank registered it highest ever Quarterly Net Profit of Rs. 1,057 Cr
  • Portfolio yield was flat at 9.35% while the cost of funds increased by 30 bps YoY to 5.93%
  • NIMs contracted 10 bps YoY to 3.12% (partially affected by the change in reporting of penal interest. Like for like NIMs are 3.19%)
  • Cost to income saw a slight increase to 53%
  • NNPA dropped further to 0.57%

Management Commentary:

Unsecured Lending: Federal Bank's credit card and personal loan portfolios are relatively small and were historically secured. The recent pivot to unsecured lending has seen a slight increase in slippage rates for both credit cards and personal loans, including those originated through partners. However, the impact is immaterial due to the small size of these portfolios within the bank’s overall lending. The bank has experienced better-than-expected performance in secured products like home loans, car loans, and vehicle loans, which offsets these slippages. Consistent with its cautious approach, the bank has calibrated its strategy in the unsecured lending segment.

Microfinance Institution (MFI) Lending:

The bank has maintained a cautious stance on high-margin products, including MFI lending. While there has been a noticeable increase in slippages in the MFI portfolio, the impact is mitigated by the bank's focus on favorable southern states, which account for over two-thirds of its MFI exposure. Additionally, proactive measures, including early adoption of best practices recommended by the Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN), have kept slippage levels significantly below industry averages. This strategic approach underscores the bank's emphasis on managing risk effectively in MFI lending.

Quality of Underwriting:

Federal Bank's conservative underwriting practices have significantly contributed to maintaining asset quality. The bank's approval rate for loans is 33%, compared to the industry average of 45%, reflecting its stringent evaluation criteria. The bank ensures that loans are not extended to delinquent customers and avoids granting multiple loans or top-up loans to the same customer. This disciplined approach, considering factors like multiple lenders and overall indebtedness, has been instrumental in preserving the quality of its loan book.

Management Transition: 

FBL is undergoing a management shift as KVS Manian became the new Managing Director and CEO on September 23, 2024. He succeeded Shyam Srinivasan, who served as MD and CEO for 14 years. Manian has over 25 years of experience in the banking industry, including a stint at Kotak Mahindra Bank. At Kotak, he played a key role in the bank's transformation from an NBFC to a leading private-sector bank. He also led the Corporate, Institutional, and Investment Banking, and Wealth Management divisions.

  • Slippages (including an increase in the balance of existing NPAs) reduced to Rs. 390 Cr (~1.1% of loans), due to decline in the Retail segment. GNPA and NNPA ratio moderated to 2.5% and 0.8% respectively. Restructured loans improved 20bps sequentially to ~2%.

  • Overall, the growth in gold loans remains strong and the environment remains fairly conducive. 10-12% of incremental deposits came from the Fintech partnerships.
