Our Take:
HDFC Scrip Code MUTFIN Muthoot Finance Ltd (MFL) will continue to benefit from its long standing presence and deep knowledge of the gold loan segment. Increasing
BSE Code 533398 share of non-gold loans would de-risk its portfolio concentration and provide cushion to AUM growth. Also the same infrastructure would be
NSE Code MUTHOOTFIN utilized to cross sell products leading to lower cost-income ratio. The company has a comfortable liquidity position with ~Rs 10000cr as cash and
Bloomberg MUTH IN investments which it can utilize for its growth and should enable it to earn higher NIMs and return ratios. Brand building by roping in Amitabh
CMP Feb 12, 2021 1323.0 Bachchan as brand ambassador would give it a pan-India visibility. Resolution of overdue gold loan accounts would bring down the NPA levels in

Market Cap (Rs cr) 51202 Valuations & Recommendation:
Adj. Book Value (Rs) 268.5 In our view, the company will continue to be No.1 in gold financing business. This will be mainly driven by its strong business model led by lean
Avg.52 Wk Volume 29,38,000 cost structure and high standards of collection and operational efficiencies, resulting in best-in-class margins along with negligible ALM & NPA

52 Week Low 476.8 along with healthy capital adequacy of 25%+ with Tier-1 at 24.6% provides comfort. We expect a CAGR PAT growth of 20% on a standalone basis

Q3FY21 Financials
Net interest income grew by 11.6% yoy to Rs 1771cr in Q3FY21 driven by 31.5% yoy growth in gold loans. Non-gold loans declined by
0.7%. NIMs contracted by 256bps yoy but expanded 20bps qoq to 14.5% driven by 60bps qoq contraction in cost of funds. Operating
expenses declined by 7.2% yoy to Rs 441cr mainly because of lower other expenses. Provisioning requirement was lower as the collection
trends in gold loans improved. PAT grew by 23.4% yoy to Rs 991cr.
Average monthly disbursements were strong at Rs 10200cr against Rs 9100cr in Q3FY20. Consequently, the overall growth is expected to
exceed the management’s earlier guidance of 15%. Asset quality deteriorated marginally from previous quarter with GNPA at 1.30% as
compared to 1.26% in Q2FY21. MFL is carrying provision of Rs 621cr which is Rs 295cr above the regulatory requirements.

The recent pandemic has resulted in increased preference for gold loan financing and even though the cost of funds is trending at a
higher range the management has been able to pass on the hike in cost thus maintaining margins. Going forward, margins are expected
to improve as the hike in the interest rate taken in July is resetting into the portfolio. Growth was mainly driven by a strong collection
efficiency which has resulted in an improvement in the asset quality. The operating expense is expected to remain inflated going forward
as the management has planned to expand branches by 100-200 every year.

tightening regulatory requirement could make it unviable for smaller NBFCs to continue operations. In the process smaller NBFCs are likely
to get merged with larger companies or get wiped out.

Liquidity shortage
Any systematic issue on the liquidity front, like the crisis due to IL&FS default could hamper the growth in the short term
Regulatory risk
MFL largely caters to the poorer segment through gold loans and microfinance where the regulations are stringent. It was hit by adverse
regulation in gold loans by RBI during FY12-14 when the LTV was slashed from 85% to 60% and the sector was removed form priority
sector lending status which led to higher cost of borrowing. Any such regulatory changes by Centre/State governments could derail its
growth prospects.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in January 2021 proposed to introduce a scale-based regulatory framework for non-banking financial
companies (NBFC) to segregate larger entities and expose them to a stricter set of “bank-like” rules. This could impact adversely lenders
like MFL though the fineprint is yet not out.
Emerging competition from other NBFCs and Banks who are entering Gold loan space. However Gold loan companies have quicker
turnaround time, niche customer base, easy accessibility of a large branch network focused only on gold loans and flexible repayment
schedules.
Recently, the RBI increased the cap on gold loan LTV for banks from 75% to 90% for loans disbursed until 31st Mar’21, post which, it
would revert to 75%. However, the cap remains at 75% for NBFCs. This would not affect prospects for Gold Financiers as most customers
were taking loans at 60-65% LTV despite the 75% LTV cap, banks may not be willing to lend up to 90% LTV from a risk management
perspective.

Asset quality risk in Non-Gold financing business
The company has expanded in Housing and Microfinance business as it is synergic to their existing business. However there’s a risk of
asset quality in these business as then book isn’t seasoned and the company is relatively new in these highly competitive business.
Besides gold loans, the company has also diversified into micro finance, housing finance, SME loans, vehicle loans and insurance broking
with promising results. Put together, it had an AUM of ~Rs 56bn of non-gold loans. Overall, non-gold businesses contributed 12% of the
consolidated business in FY20 and 5% of consolidated PAT.
