`
1,033cr, above our estimates of
`
1,001cr primarily due tolower-than-estimated provisioning expenses. Healthy traction in core fee incomecoupled with reduction in annualised slippage ratio for the quarter to 1.0% wasthe key highlight of the results.
We maintain our Buy view on the stock.NIM decline in-line with expectations; slippages come off 4QFY2011 levels:
For1QFY2012, the bank’s overall business momentum moderated in-line with peers.However, business growth remained ahead of the industry, with advancesgrowing by 25.2% yoy (up 1.6% qoq) and deposits increasing by 22.9% yoy (2.5%qoq). With the widening differential between FD and savings account interestrates, CASA deposit growth moderated further to 16.6% yoy. While global CASA ratio came off by 81bp qoq to 27.9%, domestic CASA ratio declined by 45bp qoqto 33.9%. After adjusting for interest on income tax refund received in 4QFY2011,reported domestic NIM declined by ~30bp qoq to 3.4% due to a sharp 78bp qoqrise in cost of funds as compared to a 58bp rise in yield on advances. Core feeincome increased by an impressive 36.3% yoy to
`
275cr in 1QFY2012. Assetquality of the bank was largely stable during the quarter, with the annualisedslippage ratio declining to 1.0% from 1.5% each in 4QFY2011 and 1QFY2011.The bank has already completed migration to system-based NPA recognition. NetNPAs, however, rose by rather steep 29.5% qoq.
Outlook and valuation:
The stock is trading at 1.2x FY2013E ABV. Historically, thestock has traded at 0.8x–1.3x one-year forward P/ABV multiple, with a five-yearmedian of 1.0x, but it has been rerated over the past two years to a 1.3x averageon the back of the bank’s consistent improvement in profitability, underpinned by fruitful investments in channel modernisation, healthy CASA and balance sheetgrowth and declining operating expenses (1.5% of avg. assets in FY2011). We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of
`
1,018.
