Clearly some slowdown in capital market activity hurting their broking and IB revenues. Higher than expected losses in insurance is a non-event while they decided to invest in expanding capacities in retail and asset management. Let’s see what do they have to say in the concall tomorrow.
@sumi00, in the Q1 result, can you anyone explain what the item 10 “Other comprehensive after tax” negative 31.84 Crores? This really got the net profit down.
I was listening to Rashish Shah interview. He mentioned figure saying “ex-insurance”. I see the same in a comment above also.
Why are we seeing numbers ex-insurance? Aren’t losses from the insurance business real losses? Or is the case that they will get off-set against the future profits of the insurance business.
Lots of insights here. Something to learn about diversified businesses and India Opportunity
.
The various components of our business move in a slightly different tandem but in that context, having a diversified business approach allows us to maintain overall consistency and stability while individual businesses can have their different paces of growth.
Not an accounting expert but other comprehensive income is mostly non-operating and a way of adjusting changes in valuation etc. Edel has given this explanation of OI in their earning release. This will keep fluctuating qoq depending on the market condition and nothing much to worry unless it becomes too big a part of PAT.
“Other Comprehensive Income primarily includes impact of fair valuation of quoted non-current
investments not held for trade (other than subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates), effect of foreign
currency translation on consolidation and re-measurement gains/losses on actuarial valuation of post
employment defined benefits”
The company gave breakup of different businesses in extra slides. Every biz line is doing extremely well except capital markets which is inline with what IIFL and ICICI Sec have reported. This is getting unnecessary stick for market conditions.

Q&A
What is company view on IND-AS provisioning under CCL ?Did the process of resolution of company under NCLT has slow down much and company outlook on real-estate sector ?
o Company will be more conservative on provisioning rather than being aggressive with extra provisioning reserves and banks are also doing counter cyclical provisioning which is over and above the marginal provisioning that require.
o In NCLT yes it is taking a bit longer time because it is still tested out and company had heard about new IBC amendment coming out. So there is a delay of about 3-4 months but because of this the actual realization are going higher by 10- 20 %. It will get recover in 3-4 months.
o In real estate sector the sales are soaking off and the launches has come down. Stress in the segment due to GST and Demonetization has started to go away. Liquidity is still tight and remain to be tight for the next 2-3 quarters because customers who were paying 30 % upfront are now paying only 10 % for booking the flat. Now builder has to follow up Customers to get the installments. Prices are also getting reach up by 3-4 %. So prices are stronger , sales are stronger but liquidity remain weaker for next 4-6 quarters.
13 % capital contribution only from Tier-1 which is lower in term of NBFC trend so does company is comfortable with this number or how soon company will hit a market again from capital raise ?
o Regulatory capital that require is about 15 % while company is still to close to about 17 % and company have other kind of instrument that help company to show up tier-1 capital and company is open for capital issue in sometime later. Credit book has grown much faster from the average loan book growth. So there is lot of growth available in the system with other NBFC also mainly because of the credit crunch in the system while the economy is coming back. Company is comfortable at current Tier-1 capital till march.
o Company have a option to raise money in credit subsidiary itself instead of raising money in holding company and company get some private equity interest there.
In Median ticket size for SME has doubled from 1 Cr to 2 Cr so is it a different segment company is trading ? At what rate wholesale credit book will grow ?
o Smaller amount have a much higher credit risk and credit loss so when company was doing 30-40 lakh secured loans than the risk-reward parity was not suitable so what company find is that larger ticket size secured SME which is another form of LAP makes lot of sense. So company seems business loans from larger customer.where there is huge demand from PSU bank customers so the larger one have the security so it is safer compare to small one where 5-20 lakh rupee unsecured range where risk return is also very good because company get a high interest rate so company do it for the larger customer who have a property and larger track record in property.
o Company take both commercial as well as residential property usually it is self occupied for commercials or for residential. LTV can be in range of 60-75 % depending on the credit score of that company. Company treat it as a business loan with property as a secondary product. If it only LAP then the yields might be 11-12 %.
o Wholesale credit book will grow at 10-15 % per annum.
Which the model going forward for distress asset management ?
o On average when company buy a 100 rs Loan company buy it at 40 Rs and till now large part of book was under 80-85. So when company buy at 40 rs company put 6 Rs as own money in that and other 34 Rs is the bank capital and securities received . So now company have AUM of 40 rs and capital invested of 6 rs. On that 40 company get fee and some interest also . On total 6 Rs that company invest there company end up by getting 1-1.10 rs as annual return which is about 16-17 % current normal yield on the money that company have invested. So this is company standard base line model. Then if company recover more only 30 rs out of 40 rs and make a loss of 10 rs than company yield fall down from 16-17 % to 11 %. If 40 rs come down to 20 rs than the yield come down to zero. On the upside if company buy at 40 rs and settle at 50 rs then company will get an incremental IRR of about 3-4 % and if company settle at 60 rs then company will get another 3-4 % of IRR. So if company buy at 40 and settle at 40 than company get 16-17 % , if settle at 50 than 20-21 % , if settle at 60 than get 25 % IRR.
Kindly give some guidance on life and general insurance business and what kind of accounting losses company is making over the next two-three years ? Give brief on different kind of assets under advisory ? Does company is comfortable with 1 % ROA ?
o Company share of loss in life insurance was 35 Cr and expect this year could be 150-180 Cr range. On General Insurance company expect to loose 40-50 Cr in current year so both together company expect 200-225 Cr loss for this year on an overall basis and it should be 10-12 % average of PBT than it will be stable for 3-4 years.
o On wealth management company assets are across Mutual Funds , equity shares because about 40 % of company topline is coming from brokerage revenue . So on total 1000 Cr of AUM that company have the general break up between distribution and general advisory about 10 % would be AIF or alternative assets which is about 10,000 Cr another 30-40 % will be in equity assets balance would be mutual fund , structure products should be around 5-7 thousand Cr. Company also sell lot of credit products to customer so there is less dependency on equity.
o Company have 68000 of yield which will use to manage treasury , ALF , manage interest rate risk. Company had made 1 % ROA on that from last 10 years.
PwC was appointed as the auditor last yr for a period of 5yrs. However, they resigned within a year.
Does anybody know why they resigned before the completion of their term??
ok thanks…in that case, is Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP a different entity from PwC…? Because the former is currently the auditor for companies like Sterlite Tech etc…
Looks like they both are the same entity…erstwhile PwC is now called Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP…question is if they are not allowed to audit for 2 years, how are they still auditing some other reputed firms?? What was the real reason then for them to resign?
My guess is after the SEBI ban was announced, no company wants to wait till the end to change the auditor. Companies that can change the auditor early might just do it earlier!
