The share of housing loans within the overall AUM continues to increase and was at 71% as on June 30, 2022, as compared to 50% as on March 31, 2015. IBHFL’s return on assets (RoA) improved to 1.3% during fiscal 2022 and 1.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from 1.2% for fiscal 2021.
-

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the consolidated profit for the period was ₹286.64 crores and the consolidated profit for the fiscal year ended 2022 was ₹1,177.74 crores. As of March 31, 2022, the standalone CRAR, computed in accordance with the applicable laws, was 22.49%, as against the regulatory minimum requirement of 15%.
-
IBHFL has a long-term credit rating of “AA; Outlook Stable” from CRISIL and ICRA. Instruments with this rating are considered to have a high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations. Such instruments carry very low credit risk*.
Risk factors:
-
Any increase in the levels of non-performing assets (“NPAs”) in the Loan Book, for any reason whatsoever, would adversely affect the business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
-
Asset-quality risks arising from a sizeable large-ticket commercial credit portfolio of Rs 9,065 crore as on June 30, 2022, persist and could impact the company’s portfolio performance. Given the chunkiness of loans (average ticket size of Rs 150 crore), even a few large accounts experiencing stress could impact asset quality.
-
IBHFL is vulnerable to volatility in interest rates and it may face interest rate and maturity mismatches between the assets and liabilities in the future which may cause liquidity issues.
-
Deterioration in asset quality with gross NPAs increasing to more than 3.5% over an extended period, thereby also impacting profitability
Conclusion:
With the rise of interest rates in the economy, debenture public issues are obligated to offer attractive yields to their investors. This Issue by Indiabulls Housing Finance Limited (“IBHFL”) offers yields ranging from 8.64% to 9.54% depending upon the Category of Investor and the Series applied for, which is a bit in line with the debt market trends. While the credit rating offered is “ICRA AA/Stable” by ICRA Limited, and “CRISIL AA/Stable” by CRISIL Ratings Limited, the deterioration in asset quality with gross NPAs increasing to more than 3.5% over an extended period raises concerns. Hence, informed investors may invest for a regular income as per the coupon rate offered. Since Demat is mandatory for the investment into this particular NCD from IBHFL, so the investor must open a Demat account with a trusted broker like Elite Wealth.
