ICICI Securities Report
HDFC Bank Ltd.'s Q3 FY22 performance was characterised by superior asset quality performance, partially offset by modest core fee income, higher opex and steady net interest margins. All in all, it still delivered 2.2% return on asset and more than 18% return on equity with better visibility of similar RoE profile sustainable for FY23/FY24E.
Credit cost being managed at less than 1% with slippages moderating to 1.5% led to HDFC Bank's earnings beat. Steady net interest margins at 4.1% sustained net interest income growth at 13% YoY.
What gives confidence:
further contingency buffer of Rs 9 billion with cumulative provisioning now equivalent to 2.2% of advances against 2.7% of stress pool;
building digital and franchise capabilities to capture growth opportunities.
What surprised negatively:
operating profit growth modest at ~10%,
flat core fee income primarily due to decline in payment products fee,
higher than expected QoQ rise of 6% in operating expenses.
