IIFL Finance (erstwhile IIFL Holdings) ~ Retail focused diversified NBFC

I think a bulk of the 31,134 Cr is sitting at 0 days dpd. So in the first column, 1-30dpd must be barely anything. That’s the only explanation I can think of.

Don’t you think it’s strange that the entire restructured microfinance book has come out of restructuring? So in this quarter each and every restructured microfinance account became regular?

To me the rise in NPA it seems like mostly from restructured assets.
Lets take a look at the Stage 3 (90+ dpd) assets trend

Please note that there is a mismatch between Q3 & Q2 restructured loan data. Maybe my understanding is wrong.
So the question is what is the source of this new Stage 3 assets or GNPAs. Whether it’s from the restructured loans or the loans disbursed after 2nd wave? If it’s from the restructured loans then it’s fine. Because as of now Restructured loan + Stage 3 = 1074 + 376 = 1500 cr and total provision is 1317 cr.
So this question needs to be asked in tomorrow’s concall.

Coming out of restructuring does not mean it’s standard. It can become either NPA or standard. In Q3 Stage 3 MFI was 124 cr and now it’s 221 cr. So net addition to stage 3 (since some loans are written off which we don’t know) is 97 cr. So maybe some of those 300 cr restructured ended up being npa and the rest is standard.

Easiest thing to do is to do Google search to understand what stage 1 means.

Stage1 loans are standard assets. If bank raises an EMI on day 0. Until Day 30 loan is considered standard because borrower has 30 day window to pay.

Even stage 2 is not considered very risky because some % of borrowers always are delayed due to 1 problem or another (eg: in my recent home loan, i ended up paying after 30 days because my loan account did not have enough money due to special circumstances. Of course i still paid within 45 days).

Stage3 is what is worth monitoring.

The rise in GNPA is due to the RBI circular as shown in 1 of the slides.

They had mentioned 1-2 Q for gnpa numbers top stabilize. Provision coverage is still fairly good. So looks like the panic might be unwarranted, of course need to listen to concall to confirm these understandings again.

Never heard HoldCo discount a central piece of thesis for simple subsidiaries structure where businesses are not disjointed (like in Piramal that has finance and pharma).

This thread doesn’t have any discussion around it either.

IIFL is all about lending but with ADIA investment, everyone’s back to drawing board determining its true market value (me included).

It’s interesting to track the progress here in terms of the new partnerships that are getting onboarded in different segments and how the co-lending book is evolving.

Also, quite interesting to see the management taking the JV route in building a suitable financial product here in deepening the penetration in MSME segment, as this space gets back the attention of the larger players. Curious to see the actual product, flow and use cases it serves here compared to traditional banking channels.

Direct assignment is basically selling part of loans to a bank.
In Securitization the nbfc sets up a third entity, transfers the loans to it and issues securities on the back of those loans.
In co lending there is already an agreement in place on what % of loans sourced by the nbfc the bank will take and what % the nbfc will keep on its book.

Income from assigned assets is the pv of interest spread on the loans that have been assigned.
Say the loan is yielding 15% and nbfc assigns it at 10% and the tenure is 5 years.
On direct assignment the nbfc will book the entire income of 5 years upfront itself i.e the present value of interest spread of 5% over 5 years
