Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' rating on NCD of Rs.5000 crore of Bajaj Finance Limited (BFL). CRISIL has also reaffirmed its ratings on the company's other debt instruments and bank facilities at 'CRISIL AAA/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'.
 
CRISIL's ratings continue to reflect Bajaj Finance's strong business risk profile, given its position as one of the largest retail asset financing non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in the country, and expectation of comfortable asset quality. Increased focus on risk management and data analytics should mitigate the inherent asset quality challenges in the risky asset segments. Strong capitalisation and healthy earnings also underpin the ratings. The ratings also reflect expectation of support from the Bajaj group and its healthy financial flexibility.
 
Consequent to redemption, CRISIL has also withdrawn its rating on non-convertible debentures of Rs 544.5 crore (See Annexure 'Details of rating withdrawn' for details) in line with its withdrawal policy. CRISIL has received independent confirmation that these instruments are fully redeemed.

Analytical Approach

The ratings factor in the company's strategic importance to, its ultimate holding company Bajaj Holdings and Investments Ltd (BHIL), and parent Bajaj Finserv Ltd (Bajaj Finserv). The ratings also factor in support if required from the parent company in an unlikely event of Bajaj Finance requiring support in extraordinary situation.  The ratings also factor benefits arising from synergies with the group.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Large, well-diversified NBFC
Bajaj Finance has emerged as one of the largest retail asset financing NBFCs in India, and continues with its two-pronged strategy of building scale and maximising profit. Segments such as mortgages, small business loans, and commercial lending are focused on building scale, while consumer durable loans, personal loans, and 2- and 3-wheeler financing are focused on maximising profit. As on September 30, 2019, assets under management (AUM) grew 26% (year-on-year) to Rs 110946 crores on a standalone basis. The AUM consisted primarily of personal and consumer durables loans (38%), mortgages (loans against property [LAP] and home loans; 12%), SME loans and vendor financing (18%), two- and three-wheeler financing (11%), rural financing (9%), loan against securities (6%) and others (5%).
 
The LAP book decreased marginally owing to shift in the company's stance of direct sourcing of customers and maintaining a cautious view on the sector. The existing mortgage book is being run-down and the incremental booking is taking place in the Bajaj Housing Finance Limited (BHFL). All other segments witnessed growth.
 
*Strong capitalisation
Capitalisation is robust, with sizeable networth of Rs 21757 crore and adequate Tier-I capital ratio and capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 15.86% and 19.68%, respectively, as on September 30, 2019. Gearing was comfortable at 4.5 times as on September 30, 2019. The gearing policy is conservative. Adjusted gearing has been below 6 times over the past five years, despite aggressive growth in AUM. The healthy capitalisation enhances the ability to absorb potential losses on its portfolio; adjusted networth to net NPAs was healthy, at 25 times as on September 30, 2019 (27 times as on March 31, 2019).
 
Despite strong growth plans, capitalisation should remain comfortable over the medium term, supported by regular capital infusion, demonstrated ability to raise capital (Rs 4500 crore QIP in September 2017), and healthy internal cash accruals; thus providing cushion against asset-side risks.
 
* Healthy earnings
Earnings are supported by a large proportion of high-yield businesses and competitive borrowing costs. Return on managed assets (annualised) remained healthy at 3.8% in fiscal 2019 and improved from 3.4% in fiscal 2018, driven by higher fee income and a stable net interest margin. Profitability continued to be better than the industry average. Additionally, the company has increased efforts to diversify earnings by focusing on various fee-based income avenues, such as existing member identification cards, co-branded credit card and third-party product distribution. Earnings remain susceptible to high credit costs, especially during continued macroeconomic stress, despite the conservative provisioning policy. With CRISIL-adjusted provision coverage ratio at 60% as on September 30, 2019, the coverage was in line of that of peers. While Bajaj Finance's profitability may moderate as the proportion of mortgage loans increases under its housing finance subsidiary, it will remain better than that of peers over the medium term.
 
* Strategic importance to, and strong expectation of support from, the Bajaj group
Bajaj Finance is strategically important to the Bajaj group, the company gets significant financial, managerial and operational support from its parent, Bajaj Finserv. It also derives synergies from being a captive financier for Bajaj Auto Ltd (Bajaj Auto; rated 'CRISIL AAA/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'). Bajaj Finance is one of the crucial entities of the group's financial services business, and its established track record of profitable growth enhances its strategic importance. Bajaj Finance also plays a critical role in helping Bajaj Auto meet its sales targets and maintain market share; it financed around 40% of Bajaj Auto's sales volume in fiscal 2019, from 20% in fiscal 2010.  CRISIL believes Bajaj Finance will continue to receive support from the group.
 
Bajaj Finserv's financial flexibility has steadily improved over the years supported by performance of its operating companies including insurance ventures. In the unlikely event of Bajaj Finance requiring group support in an extraordinary situation, Bajaj Holdings and Investment Limited has ample liquidity in the form of cash and bank balances and portfolio of quoted investments to address the requirements. In addition, CRISIL believes that there is sufficient flexibility inherent in the market standing of the various listed and unlisted financial services firms in the group. CRISIL also believes that the financial flexibility will be sufficient to support any material requirements of Bajaj Finance even if the group were to step up its stake in the insurance ventures.
 
Weaknesses:
* Focus on risky asset classes and under-seasoned mortgage loan book
Over the past 18-24 months, risk management processes and data analytics capability have been strengthened. Underwriting norms and monitoring mechanisms in small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) business segments such as business loans and LAP have been reinforced. The unsecured lending business (mainly consumer durables financing and personal loans) has also been supported through investments in risk analytics and technology. Underwriting and collection norms have been tightened based on portfolio performance trends and early warning indicators. The company has also slowed down growth in the LAP business in recent years due to intense competition and is expected to continue to adjust growth plans across business segments in response to market opportunities and challenges. It has revamped its business model in the SME segment and now increasingly focuses on sourcing business through cross-selling to existing customers to support growth. The well diversified loan book and increased focus on risk management and data analytics has enabled it to manage asset quality risks over the past few years and will continue to do so. Asset quality, as measured by gross NPAs remained comfortable at 1.93% as on September 30, 2019 as against 1.80% as on March 31, 2019. Over the past 5 years, GNPA metrics for BFL have ranged between 1.0-2.0%.
 
The increased focus on risk management is expected to mitigate the inherent asset quality risks following the high growth in recent years and the focus on riskier asset segments. A significant proportion of Bajaj Finance's portfolio comprising mortgage loans has witnessed strong growth over the past few years and remains under-seasoned. Additionally, the company has high exposure to risky asset segments such as personal loans and consumer durable loans (including life-style and digital loans), 2- and 3-wheeler finance, and unsecured business loans, which constituted around 58% of its loan portfolio as on September 30, 2019, and are vulnerable to economic cycles. Furthermore, competition, especially in the retail and SME financing business, has intensified significantly with increased focus by private and public sector lenders and the entry of new banks. However, the share of secured assets segments such as mortgages is expected to rise over the medium term, which will help improve asset quality. 
Liquidity Superior

The liquidity profile of BFL is comfortable with positive cumulative mismatches across all ALM buckets even with exclusion of committed lines. As on September 30, 2019, BFL had total repayments of Rs 17030 crore for 6 months between October 2019 and March 2020, of which Rs 6175 crore was for repayment of CP maturities. Against the same, BFL had repayments of Rs 35738 crore between October 2019 and March 2020. Additionally, BFL had cash and equivalents of Rs 542 crore, Rs 5500 crore of investments in mutual funds. Further, BFL had unutilised bank term lines, CC/WCDL & ECB Loan of Rs 7467 crore as on September 30, 2019. Bajaj Finance's liquidity profile also benefits from the high proportion of shorter-tenor assets such as consumer durables; it has significant positive gaps in its ALM, indicating that business inflows support repayments.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes Bajaj Finance will remain strategically important to, and continue to receive support from, the Bajaj group. The company will also sustain its healthy financial risk profile. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is a significant deterioration in asset quality or earnings of Bajaj Finance, or diminution in support from the Bajaj group, or weakening, in CRISIL's view, of the group's credit risk profile.

Rating sensitivity factors:
Downward factors:
* With the current AUM mix, any significant deterioration in asset quality translating into pressure on earnings profile thereby leading return on assets to drop below 2.0% on a sustained basis. This excludes any significant change in AUM mix due to an increase in the secured portfolio that will inherently impact return on assets negatively.
* Significant increase in consolidated leverage metrics
* In the unlikely event of Bajaj Finance requiring group support in an extraordinary situation the necessary support not coming forth from the group.

About CRISIL Ratings
CRISIL Ratings is part of CRISIL Limited (“CRISIL”). We pioneered the concept of credit rating in India in 1987. CRISIL is registered in India as a credit rating agency with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”). With a tradition of independence, analytical rigour and innovation, CRISIL sets the standards in the credit rating business. We rate the entire range of debt instruments, such as, bank loans, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, non-convertible / convertible / partially convertible bonds and debentures, perpetual bonds, bank hybrid capital instruments, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, partial guarantees and other structured debt instruments. We have rated over 24,500 large and mid-scale corporates and financial institutions. CRISIL has also instituted several innovations in India in the rating business, including rating municipal bonds, partially guaranteed instruments and microfinance institutions. We also pioneered a globally unique rating service for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and significantly extended the accessibility to rating services to a wider market. Over 1,10,000 MSMEs have been rated by us.
