Concerns
• In wake of rising NPAs, BOB’s asset quality could be under pressure in case the asset quality environment (globally as well as domestically) worsens further especially given its
global presence and rising exposure to SME.
• Cost to income ratio still remains high at 43% in Q1FY15. It is important that the bank controls its cost to income ratio, failing which it could get a hit on its bottom‐line.
• It is important that the bank is able to stabilize/raise its NIMs going forward. If the bank is unable to get cheaper borrowing, the spreads could narrow down thereby putting
pressure on the margins of the bank.
• The bank features amongst the frontrunners in the PSU banking space in terms of overall operating efficiency. Having said that, the bank does not have a very sizeable market
share in any product segment and does not offer very stiff competition to its peers in the PSU or private sector banking space.
• The bank has quite an exposure in the international arena. There is a possible risk of global slowdown recurring again or the current slowdown not phasing out soon. This could
lead to low margins from the international operations and a possible increase in NPAs in those areas.
• Domestic CASA of the bank has been under pressure since Q2FY11. The bank needs to maintain its CASA at strong levels going ahead failing which it could see its interest costs
rising and could therefore face pressure on its margins.
• The recent deregulation guideline by RBI for saving deposit interest rate may impact NIMs of the bank with saving deposits accounting for nearly 26% of its total domestic
deposits. However none of the large PSU or Private sector banks has so far increased savings account interest rates so far.
Outlook and Valuation
BOB is among the top three banks in the country with a loan book size of Rs 381772 cr and deposits of Rs 551649 cr. After SBI, BOB has the largest presence in the overseas market. Its
overseas business is doing well in terms of advances, deposits, NIMs etc. BOB has shown consistent growth and profitability for about last 24‐36 months. Loan growth, which lagged the
industry historically, has now been in line or more. However risk of incremental restructuring is rising for the entire sector and in particular for PSU banks.
During Q1FY15, BOB’s reported NII of Rs 3328.3 cr, up 15.2% y‐o‐y and 6.5% q‐o‐q and net profits of Rs 1361.9 cr, up 16.6% y‐o‐y and 17.7% q‐o‐q. NIMs have come down marginally from
2.41% to 2.35% y‐o‐y. Overall loans have gone up 18.8% y‐o‐y. CASA stands at 31.3% marginally down from 31.8% in Q4FY14. Restructured assets have come down significantly to Rs 986
cr from Rs 1157 cr in Q4FY14. However, GNPA and NNPA as a percentage has trended up to 3.11% and 1.58% in Q1FY15 compared to 2.99% and 1.69% in Q4FY14.
Growth in loan book may slow down as the bank is trying to limit its exposure to sectors like Airlines, Media, Iron & steel, Telecom, SEBs etc. Rising NPAs is a cause of concern for most
PSU banks. Provisions may remain at higher levels, as asset quality issues will continue over FY15. While the asset quality situation still remains relatively better than peers, deterioration
in asset quality over the past five quarters had eroded the valuation premium enjoyed by BOB.
While gradual shift in its advances to the domestic operations could result in NII expansion, BOB could benefit less from reversal of investment depreciation.
We are introducing FY16 numbers. With its fairly large overseas exposure, any global slowdown can hit the bank’s performance. Superior PCR ratio of the bank also provides enough
cushion to earnings pressure. BOB was one of the better banks among the PSU lot in terms of lower earnings volatility, better return rations, higher provision coverage ratios, lower
slippages and better capitalization. But lately it has suffered from asset quality issues.
The stock has sharply rallied in the last couple of months on stable political scenario, improving economic sentiments and relatively better financial performance by BOB. Improved PCR
and lower slippages are some positives during the quarter besides stability in loan growth and improved NII & net profit growth. Slippages however remain high. Management change in
July 2014 remains overhang. This could result in a possibility of throwing in the kitchen sink ‐ meaning a common tactic for new managers to put all the bad news out at once to make the
results as bad as possible with the idea being that the new boss would look like a company hero the following year after his or her first year on the job.
In our Q4FY14 result update on BOB dated March 15, 2014 (CMP Rs 921.2) to buy the stock at CMP and add on dips in the band of Rs.795‐Rs 820 (close to 1.10x FY15E Adj BV) for a target
