Growth Not A Challenge, Seamless Management Transition A Key Monitorable!


Est. Vs. Actual for Q4FY24: NII – BEAT; PPOP – BEAT; PAT –BEAT (CMP as of 21 May, 2024)
Changes in Estimates post Q4FY24 CMP (Rs) 53
FY25E/FY26E: NII: 1.3%/0.4%; PPOP: -1.6%/-1.8%; PAT: -2.7%/-2.5%
Upside /Downside (%) 21%
Recommendation Rationale
 Secured Businesses to steer healthy credit growth – UJSFB’s management expects credit High/Low (Rs) 63/32
growth to range between 20-25% in FY25E, with strong growth momentum visible across most Market cap (Cr) 10,356
segments. Hereon, growth will be driven by the non-MFI segments with continued momentum
in the Affordable Housing and FIG segment and pick-up in the MSME segment as the bank Avg. daily vol. (6m) Shrs. 1,10,26,735
aims at improving the share of secured businesses to 40% over the next couple of years vs No. of shares (Cr) 193.1
~30% currently. In the MFI portfolio, Individual loans will be a key growth driver largely aided by
graduating group loan customers. We bake in ~23% CAGR growth over FY24-26E, primarily Shareholding (%)
driven by the non-MFI book growing at 30+% CAGR over the same period.
Sep-23 Dec-23 Mar-24
 Margins to be maintained at 9% in FY25E – While the portfolio shifts toward the secured
businesses along with increasing CoF (as the bank has increased TD rates by 25bps in Promoter 73.7 73.6 73.5
Mar’24) will keep margins under pressure, the management is confident of maintaining margins FIIs 3.5 3.7 3.5
at 9% in FY25E supported by (1) re-pricing opportunities in the MFI book as ~15% of book
sourced between Sep’22-Feb’23 and ~10% of the book sourced before Sep’22 is yet to be re- MFs / UTI 1.1 1.3 0.6
priced and (2) opportunity to negotiate on and control the CoF increase, owing to the recent Others 21.7 21.4 22.4
ratings upgrade. We expect NIMs to be maintained at 9% in FY25E before moderating to
~8.8% in FY26E. Financial & Valuations
 Asset Quality to remain stable – Slippages during the quarter were higher QoQ owing to Y/E Mar (Rs Cr) FY24 FY25E FY26E
some flow (though controlled) from the states of Punjab and Haryana in the MFI book. The
NII 3,409 4,193 5,096
management believes these trends are temporary in nature and expects stress in these
geographies to subside from Q2FY25 onwards. The bank is also seeing certain pockets of PPOP 1,917 2,280 2,820
stress in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. However, the bank has proactively reduced its Net Profit 1,282 1,382 1,681
repeat loans to customers in order to control portfolio quality. As the book continues to season, EPS (Rs) 6.6 7.2 8.7
credit costs will continue to normalize and are expected to range between 1.4-1.5%.
ABV (Rs) 28.5 34.1 40.9
Sector Outlook: Positive
Company Outlook: Healthy demand across products along with a gradual scale-up in the new P/ABV (x) 1.9 1.6 1.3
products should help UJSFB sustain its growth momentum over the medium term. While near-term RoA (%) 3.5 3.0 2.9
NIMs are likely to remain steady at ~9% supported by loan repricing and some possible respite on NNPA (%) 0.3 0.3 0.3
CoF increase supported by ratings upgrade, margin contraction is imminent as the portfolio mix
shifts towards secured lending. Opex ratios will remain elevated to reflect the investments in tech Change in Estimates (%)
and human resources to build a strong platform to ensure growth. RoA will moderate and settle at
Y/E Mar FY25E FY26E
2.9-3% over FY25-26E owing to the normalisation of credit costs.
Current Valuation: 1.7x Sep’25E ABV Earlier Valuation: 1.8x Sep’25E ABV NII 1.3 0.4

Key Highlights
 Management Transition to be a key monitorable – The bank has received approval to appoint Mr Sanjeev
Nautiyal as the MD CEO w.e.f 01 Jul’24. He will be joining the bank as the interim president on 01 Jun’24. Mr
Nautiyal is a seasoned banker with over three decades of extensive strategic domain expertise in Retail, SME,
Financial Inclusion, Operations, HR, International Banking, and Treasury. He earlier held significant roles as
Deputy MD, Financial Inclusion & Micro Markets, SBI and MD & CEO, SBI Life Insurance. Mr Ittira Davis will
continue as an advisor.

 Focus on building a granular deposit franchise – UJSFB has been seeing the benefit of the brand campaign
and introduction of value-added products during the year, which has been driving deposit growth. Going forward,
the bank’s focus will remain on driving deposit growth both digitally and physically with a focus towards building a
retail and granular deposit base. The bank aims to scale up its CASA Deposit franchise to ~30% over the medium-
to-long term. In FY25, the bank will continue to continue to invest in targeted brand campaigns. The
management remains confident that the MSME business ramp-up would also contribute towards building current
accounts as the asset product suite is designed towards meeting customers' requirements.

 Opex to remain elevated – UJSFB will continue to expand its presence geographically and will add ~50 branches
in FY25. The bank will continue to invest in technology and people to ramp up products and build a strong base.
Thus, Opex ratios will continue to remain elevated in FY25.

 Each Segment to contribute to growth

o Affordable Housing – The bank has piloted a new LOS in the affordable housing segment and launched it in
Apr’24. This will help the bank improve efficiency, reduce manual interventions, enable digital onboarding of
customers, improve productivity, and streamline the approval process. UJSFB has also added pre-qualified
top-up loans to the product suite for existing customers. The micro-mortgage segment has seen impressive
growth and the management expects the growth momentum to continue.

o MSME - The transition to MSME business is nearly complete and the LOS is likely to be launched in Q1FY25.
This will lead to significant improvement in critical metrics such as productivity, turnaround time etc. helping
the bank scale the product in a faster manner. To further augment the product offerings, UJSFB is closely
working with 4 Fintech partners, of which two have already been onboarded. As the supply chain finance
business (high-yielding product) from the fintech partners gains traction, it will add to the growth of the MSME
book. UJSFB’s strategy is to get customers from semi-formal, semi-urban areas and grow the portfolio
through both the fintech and its own distribution channel.

o New Products – UJSFB will continue to invest in emerging businesses, such as gold loans and vehicle
finance businesses. The bank plans to offer Gold loans from 250 branches by the end of FY25 vs 60
currently, and in the vehicle finance segment, the bank will deepen its presence in the existing 8 states.

Key Risks to our Estimates and TP


 The key risk to our estimates remains a slowdown in overall credit growth which could potentially derail our
earnings estimates.

 The scalability of new products and secured book remains a key monitorable.
