NII grew 24% YoY (9% QoQ) aided by moderation in funding cost even as the lending yields remain broadly stable. Asset quality deteriorated slightly as rural market remains challenging leading to 8.4% QoQ rise in GNPLs at Rs25.4bn (180dpd basis). Management indicated that GNPL ratio will increase close to 6.5% as it migrates to 150dpd NPL recognition norm and reports consolidated asset quality numbers in next quarter. We fine tune our numbers and revise our PT to RS1,025 (from Rs1,100) based on 2.3x Sep 2017E ABV. AUM growth pick up to 17% YoY: AUM growth picked up to 17% YoY in a seasonally strong quarter led by strong growth of 38% YoY in HCV segment & growth of 23% YoY in passenger segment. SHTF has also witnessed continued growth in the demand for new vehicles the share of which in total AUMs increased by 50bp QoQ to 8.3%. Overall, disbursement was mainly led by HCVs, tractors & passenger vehicle. Management has maintained its AUM guidance of more than 15% YoY for FY16. Asset quality deteriorates slightly; coverage ratio yet improves: GNPAs increased by 8.4% QoQ to Rs25.4bn (180 dpd) however healthy provisioning run rate (credit cost of 2.6%) enabled flattish trend in Net NPLs and further increase in coverage ratio to 80%. SHTF suggested that rural markets continue to remain under pressure while there has been slight pick up in urban demand and decline in fuel prices have helped improve profitability of its borrowers. Collections in CE business remains unchanged at Rs mn per month but management said it will take decision on re possession of vehicle going ahead to reduce NPAs. Migration to 150dpd in Q4FY16; high coverage will help limit P&L impact: SHTF has maintained high PCR of ~80% which it plans to drawdown as it moves towards 150dpd norm in Q4FY16 and merge the CE book with itself. Management indicated that GNPL ratio will increase to ~6.5% as it migrates to 150dpd NPL recognition norm and reports consolidated asset quality numbers in next quarter. We maintain BUY with revised PT of Rs1,025 based on 2.3x Sep 17E ABV.

3 STFC Q3FY16 Concall Highlights Management Commentary: Economic conditions remain similar as H1FY16, which has neither deteriorated nor improved. Rural economy has been weak as wages have been slow, income levels have come down but good monsoon and some activity has started which will help rural economy improve. Vehicle utilization remains days in the month; crude prices have helped declined fuel costs to slight extent. Geographical performance Problem areas continue to be Mahrashtra esp Marthwada, Telangana, North Karnataka, East UP and Bihar. Vehicle Ban On Delhi HC ban, vehicles are moving out of NCR in neighbouring regions as transfer permit have been allowed which has helped get resale value of 10yrs & above vehicles. In rest of India, there is talk of banning above 15yrs vehicles, but road ministry should give incentive to scrap vehicles which help compensate for buying new vehicles to some extent Business: AUM growth HCVs & PVs continue to add to growth mainly from urban markets. Tractors also saw decent growth as SHTF has been mainly financing used tractors and has been gaining market share. Outlook Growth will be sabove 15% for FY16. For FY17 growth should be similar as FY16 i.e 15%. Margins Margins have improved on reducing cost of funds on better cash management & reduction in base rate. Yields may come down by 20bps more on mix changes. Expect margins to benefit from the MCLR regime from FY17 onwards. Liquidity management Carrying lower liquidity than earlier as SHTF has secured more lenders channels, while in last 4 5 years liquidity crunch has been not severe. Going ahead, would keep liquidity at similar levels and may not go down. Borrowings Have been incrementally borrowing from Bank channels. The share in institutional borrowing of banks & institutions is ~50:50. In Q4FY16, will do higher securitization and have pipeline of Rs20bn 25bn. Private financiers Private financier are like franchises who predominantly do lending in 3W, jeep & PVs with ticket size of 1.25lakh 1.50lakh. These franchises have similar portfolio behaviour as of SHTF s portfolio. Currently these contribute 5% of total AUM. Opex remains elevated as had to do one time provisions of Rs150mn on back of change in bonus act effective from April 2014 February 01,

4 Asset quality: Asset quality deteriorated slightly on some effect from Chennai floods & some from the weak rural activity. Next 3 quarters incl H1FY17 will not see much of change unless rural economy starts improving. Outlook SHTF will move to 150dpd from 180dpd in Q4FY16 which management believes will add bps additional to GNPA (currently 4.3%) and another Rs8bn 10bn from equipment biz on merger. This will take to GNPA levels to ~6.5% by FY16 end and hit will be minimized on P&L by drawing down PCR but management has not ascertained how much PCR will be dropping. SHTF will retain the strategy of moving towards 90dpd at the end of FY. Shriram Equipment Finance: Asset Quality Collections have been has crs/month based on 180dpd, while at 40 50crs/month at 150dpd. GNPAs have come down from Rs1100crs to Rs1050crs on 150dpd. By FY16 end GNPAs would come down below Rs1000crs, but trying to recover Rs crs more. Rs282crs has been held as provisions AUM Currently, AUM at Rs22.5bn or 3.3% of consolidated AUM.
