HDFC Limited Q1 FY23 Result Update: Individual loan book strengthens, NII misses estimates.

HDFC Limited Q1 FY23 Result Update: Individual loan book strengthens, NII misses estimates.

Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited reported net profit of Rs. 3,669 crores compared to Rs. 3,001 crores, representing a growth of 22% YoY. The drag on net profit was due to increase in provisions, which went up to Rs 510 crore for the June quarter from Rs 450 crore in the March quarter.

The company recorded net interest income (NII) of Rs. 4,447 crores as compared to Rs. 4,125 crores estimated by the analysts. The monetary policy and interest rate actions have had a short-term impact on the net interest income and to a slightly lesser extent on the net interest margin. This has been due to the transmission lag between the interest rate increase in borrowing costs and the increase in lending rates.

In the corresponding quarter of the previous year, due to the second wave of COVID-19, there was ample liquidity in the system and consequently, overnight interest swap rates fell to very low levels, thus expanding Net Interest Income (NII) and Net Interest Margin (NIM). The reported NIM during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 3.4%

On account of volatile equity markets, the net gain on investments fair valued through the profit and loss account stood at Rs. 8 crore (PY: ₹ 402 crore)

Dividend income stood Rs. 687 crore (PY: Rs. 16 crore) and Profit on Sale of Investments Rs. 184 crore (PY: Rs. 263 crore).

Non-interest expense ratios were higher largely due to an increase in upfront expenses on staffing, loan processing, branch expansion and information technology to enable meeting the increased demand for home loans. These expenses have been incurred upfront, though benefits will accrue over the ensuing quarters.

On an AUM basis, the growth in the individual loan book was 19%. This marks the highest percentage growth in the individual loan AUM in 8 years.

Disbursements surged during the quarter to Rs 42,000 crores. Individual loan disbursals grew by 66% YoY. The affordable housing loan segment showed a healthy growth of 10% for the June quarter, however, lower than the 14% growth seen a year ago.

The lender holds Rs 13,328 crore or as total provisions against potential delinquencies.

HDFC’s provision coverage ratio remains high. Gross bad loans improved to 1.78 percent of the total loan book for the reported quarter from 2.28 percent in the year-ago period. This was due to a fall in delinquencies in the non-individual loan book and also resolutions.

Delinquencies in the non-individual loan book fell to 4.44 percent for the June quarter from the peak of 5.05 percent in the December quarter of FY22. In the March quarter, delinquencies were at 4.77 percent. Those of the individual book, too, marginally improved to below 1 percent.

The mortgage lender’s revenue from operations increased 13.5% to Rs 13,240 crore as compared to Rs 11,657 crore in Q1 FY22.

The demand for home loans and the pipeline of loan applications remains strong for the quarter. Growth in home loans was seen in both, the middle income segment as well as in high end properties, with 92% of new loan applications received through digital channels.

The average size of individual loans stood at Rs 35.7 lakh compared to Rs 33.1 lakh in FY22. Individual loans comprise 79% of the AUM.

 

After the announcement of the result the shares of the company closed at Rs. 2377.80, up by 40.25 points or by 1.72% as compared to the previous close of Rs. 2337.55. The stock opened at Rs. 2356. The market cap of the company is Rs. 431,444 crores.

Robust growth in the June quarter, witnessed by Kokuyo Camlin :

Kokuyo Camlin reported a net profit of Rs.8.35 Cr. compared to Rs.2.94 Cr. in March 2022. The firm clocked in Rs. 196.15 Cr., up by 20.24 % from Rs. 163.95 Cr. in the previous quarter. The EBITDA margin stood at Rs. 13.54 Cr. in the June 2022 quarter compared to Rs. 7.69 Cr. in March 2022.

The demand for paper is strong in all the regions after the COVID-19 pandemic. India’s stationery market is estimated to be around USD 2.5 billion. The latter are dominating the market as this industry has a mix of both organised and unorganised players. With a literacy rate of 74% accompanied by a high population. There are numerous government programs inclined towards pushing higher studies that have resulted in new opportunities for the company. resulting in higher demand and enhanced stationery industry growth.

Camlin’s non-school product portfolio accounts for almost 50% of the total revenues and is improving in the Fine Art and Hobby domain. The company has contacted nearly 2500 hobby tutors across the country and is working with them to improve the quality of their product. The main risks for the firm are the cyclic nature of the stationary industry, economic risk, supply chain disruptions and shortage of raw materials due to the Russia-Ukraine war, etc. The company is taking steps to reduce risk while also creating value for its customers and shareholders.

We believe the share price of Kokuyo Camlin is around the same range as well. due to ongoing geopolitical issues, a slowdown in the economy and currency deprecation. Despite the fact that synergies across various distribution hubs will benefit in terms of low cost, expansion to new locations, quick roll outs, and R&D. The firm targets around 30% or more of its revenue from overseas in a ten-year time period. With the devaluation of the domestic currency, the company has opportunities to capture new markets since it has a competitive price.

The script was trading at Rs. 67.80 on Friday and was up by 0.59%, or 0.40 points. The stock touched an intraday high of Rs.69.25 and an intraday low of Rs.67.10. The 52-week high for the stock was at Rs. 79.6 and the 52-week low was at Rs. 50.5. The market cap for Kokuyo Camlin is Rs. 681Cr.

JSW Steel's net profit declined to Rs. 839 crores in Q1 FY23.

JSW Steel’s net profit declined to Rs. 839 crores in Q1 FY23.

Net profit declined to Rs. 839 crores compared to Rs. 5900 crores in June 2021. The total revenue reported was down by 32% YOY and 19% QOQ to Rs. 38126 crore in June 2022. EBITA stood at Rs. 4,309 crore and the EBITDA margin declined by 29% to 11.3%. The fall in EBITDA was contributed to by the lower volume of sales, loan translation losses, NRV provisions, etc.

The domestic steel industry was impacted by global events and the imposition of a 15% duty on steel exports in May 2022. Exports fell by 26% from March 2022 to June 2022.crude steel production was at 5.77 million tonnes and saleable steel sales were at 4.449 million tonnes. It was up 12% YOY but down by 21% QOQ, mainly due to a sharp drop in export volume. The company’s average capacity utilisation for the quarter was 93% in June 2022 compared to 98% in March 2022. They have also planned the maintenance shutdowns that were scheduled for during the year. This lowered the average capacity utilisation.

Among the subsidiaries, JSW Steel Coated Products recorded an EBITDA loss for provisioning for inventory, while BPSL’s EBITDA was down by 55% QoQ. Acero Junction’s EBITDA plunged down 87% QoQ; however, Plate and Pipe Mill reported better numbers on strong shield demand for EBITDA, up 14% QoQ. Europe managed to get rail orders, thus securing the operating margin.

As the inventory is rising and demand is weak, coupled with few opportunities to export in the near term, the company has moderated its fabrication. We have slightly reduced our volume forecast for FY23, but management remains confident that lost volumes will be recovered in the coming quarters.JSW is finalising its deal with a few auto makers for a hike of Rs.900/t and is still negotiating with the major auto players. The company has also started to buy coal from Russia at a discount. However, Australia is the major source of coal for JSW.

We expect the excess finished steel inventory in the industry to prohibit any future price hikes. To evacuate the inventory, the companies will have to slow down production or export some quantities. This will be over by Q2 – Q3 FY23 and price hikes can be seen. We believe one more round of correction will happen in the steel industry. As it is a cyclical industry, weak quarters are expected due to monsoons, which supports our dip in the stock price.

The stock price closed at Rs. 596.65 on Tuesday and touched an intraday high of Rs. 599 and an intraday low of Rs. 581.60. The 52-week high for the company was Rs. 790 and the 52-week low was Rs. 520. The market cap was at Rs. 143 lakh crore.
