Source: Company presentation
With strong AAA ratings for borrowings/NCD and A1+ for CP programs, CFHL
has reduced the borrowing cost and improved the margins and profitability by
increasing the proportion of the Borrowings through money market
instruments like NCDs and CP.
CFHL has reduced dependence on Bank Loans from 54% in FY09 to 27% in
FY16 which has substantially reduced the cost of borrowings. It was 8.75% by
the end of FY16 down from 8.89% as on Dec 2015 and further intends to
scale down the borrowing cost and strengthen the margin levels gradually.
This will be backed by the combination of strict cost management and cost
reduction programmes started in FY16 which resulted in high profits and
margin levels.

Financial Outlook
In Q2FY17, 30new offices (10 branches and 20 Satellite offices) were added
taking the network to 170. Increase in touch points will help CFHL to achieve
their targets.
In Q2FY17, the NCDs and CPs proportion increased from 37% (FY16) to 48%
this Quarter. With the borrowing cost reducing and the high margin business
i.e. Non-Housing Loans having a robust growth we expect CFHLs profit to
grow at a CAGR (FY16-18E)-32%.
With all the network expansion and hitting the right target segment with the
support of Government initiatives, we expect CFHL to outperform and achieve
their set goal.
The Interest income grew 26% YoY and NII grew 42% YoY. Provisioning
decreased from Rs.75mn to Rs.60mn and profit grew by 56% YoY basis. This
is the result of the changing borrowing mix as the proportion of NCDs/CPs
increased as compared to last year. This is also reflected in the NIMs
expansion. We expect this trend of expansion to continue.

Housing Finance Sector in India
Housing is a basic human need, but rapid urbanization, sub-standard construction, and
lack of finance contribute to the global crisis in housing, creating one of the biggest
challenges in emerging markets.
According to IFC, the demand for low-income housing accounts for as much as 90
percent of all demand for housing worldwide. Yet in developing countries, only 7 percent
of adults have an outstanding loan to purchase a home, and only 5 percent have a loan
to build, expand, or renovate their home. Furthermore, in many markets, poor and low-
income groups have little or no means of financing housing, even improvements and
repairs.
Investments in housing finance have economic multiplier effects that lead to more jobs,
improved health and education. At the same time, access to housing and better living
standards result in greater productivity and boost shared prosperity.
The commitment to have housing for all by 2022 is the vision of Indian government, and
realising this dream can be a step towards building a brighter India.

The most important reason to buy a house today is the low Difference between rental

For only Rs.1,800 per month more, a house costing Rs 3 Mn can be purchased
instead of renting it a tremendous incentive to own a house and create real assets

Key Growth Drivers
Mortgage Penetration
The Indian mortgage industry is expected to have grown by a CAGR of 19% from
FY12 to FY15.
India's housing finance market still remains under penetrated in comparison to
many advanced and emerging economies, evidenced by its low mortgage-to-GDP ratio.
Indias low mortgage-to-GDP ratio is a result of followings
Shortage of housing supply,
Pre-existing regulatory restrictions.
There have been structural changes in India in recent years which are expected
to continue to benefit the housing finance market.

Rural Urban
In urban areas, less than 50% houses will be bought by taking housing loans
even in FY20 while in rural areas only 10% houses will be bought by taking housing
loans.
Urbanisation is expected to accelerate with the urban population projected to
grow at a CAGR of 2.0-2.5% from FY15 to FY21.
This increase in urbanisation has affected housing demand by reducing the area
per household while increasing the number of nuclear families and, therefore, the
number of households seeking housing and housing finance.

Rising gross income levels and declining interest rates that lower the equated
monthly instalments on home loans, will render borrowers eligible for higher loan
amounts.
This will, in turn, enable the buyer to purchase a higher priced home or increase
the loan-to-value (LTV) on the loan, contributing to an increase in the average ticket
size (ATS) of loan disbursements. (Source: CRISIL Report)
Tax benefits
Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, an individual is eligible to claim
the deduction of the payments made towards repayment of an amount borrowed for the
purpose of purchasing or constructing a residential house.
Under Section 24(b) of the Income Tax Act, one can claim a deduction for the
amount of interest paid on the capital borrowed for the purpose of the acquisition,
construction, repair and reconstruction of a property.
Tax Incentive for Affordable Housing: Effective tax rate on housing loans for this
segment has reduced to 4% now from 12% in 2000. This will encourage more
borrowers to buy houses.

In budget for FY17 government introduced 100% tax exemption on profits from
building affordable housing. This will attract organized developers and increase supply.
Service tax exemption on construction of affordable housing will lead to reduction
in prices, increasing affordability.
Over the past few years, the Government of India (GoI) has introduced various
national policies with the general aim of reinforcing the primacy of the housing sector.
These are:
Smart Cities: GOI has in place a development plan which will cover 100 cities
between 2016 to 2020, which will include improvement, city renewal, city extension

Housing for all by 2022: GOI launched the programme in June 2015, with the aim
of providing 20 million new housing units in 500 towns and cities over the next seven
years. The programme was set up to promote affordable housing for the Indian
population through partnerships with entities in the private sector.
Real Estate (Regulatory & Development) Act, 2016 will lead to a structured,
transparent and disciplined sector. This will increase buyers interest in the sector as
they are likely to get a fair deal when purchasing property.

As of July 2015, India was home to more than 1.25 billion people (an estimated
258.70 million households Vs. 207.20 million households in 2004) and the median age
of its population was below 28 years of age (Source: World Factbook).
Population growth and changing demographics, such as age mix, increasing
trends of nuclear households, continuous urbanisation, income growth and increasing
penetration of finance, have contributed to the growth in the Indian housing market,
especially in urban areas. (Source: NHB Report)
Population growth is primarily occurring in younger age brackets, which will lead
to a significant increase in the working population, and subsequently to a greater
demand for housing.

Bank HFC
HFCs have steadily gained housing finance market share from banks, having
increased their share from 31% in FY12 to 37% in FY15.
HFCs are able to gain market share due to better access to customers in non-
metro cities, their strong origination skills, focused approach and customer service
orientation.
CRISIL predicts mid-size HFCs (like GICHF) (those with total outstanding retail
housing loans of less than Rs. 300billion as of March 2015) will record a CAGR of 27-
29% from FY16 to FY17.
Large HFCs will grow at a slower CAGR of 17.00-19.00% during the same period.
Mid-size HFCs are expected to grow at a higher rate because of their focus on
affordable housing projects and their relatively higher concentration in tier-II and smaller
cities, where growth has been higher over FY15.

NPAs are likely to decline marginally in FY 2016 and 2017 owing to economic
recovery, lower interest rates, better control, system checks, follow-ups, and the
expected improvement of job.

HFCs due to their singular focus and single-product specialized appraisal skills
have low NPAs.
HFC NPAs have been declining even through the period of economic stagflation
between 2008 and 2015
Sources of Borrowing
Banks have traditionally been the dominant sources of funding for HFCs, as
lending to HFCs qualifies for priority sector lending, subject to certain conditions.
Recently, high base rates of banks resulting in higher costs of bank borrowings
have driven HFCs to focus on market borrowings.
The proportion of bank borrowings therefore declined from approximately 36.00%
for FY12 to approximately 30.00% for FY14, while market borrowings in the form of
bonds and debentures increased from approximately 35.00% to approximately 40.00%
during the same period. (Source: NHB Report)

The RBI decreased the repo rate by 125 bps cumulatively in 2015, and further
reduced it by 25 bps in April 2016, which will lower banks cost of funds.
Moreover, as market interest rates decline, HFCs are likely to be able to raise
funds through non-convertible debentures, commercial papers and other instruments at
a lower cost.
CRISIL expects the net profit margin for HFCs to be in the range of 1.80% to
2.00% in the near future, as the decline in the cost of funds will more than offset any fall
in yields.

Mid- and small-size HFCs (with a retail mortgage loan size of less than Rs 300.00
billion) have been gaining market share, which has risen to 22.00% as of March 2015,
from 14.00% in March 2010.
CRISIL expects this figure to reach 25.00% by March 2017. This is primarily due
to the variation of business dynamics between the mid- to small-size HFCs and the
large HFCs.
