Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' ratings to Rs 7,500 crore Non-convertible debentures of HDB Financial Services Limited (HDB Finance) and reaffirmed its ratings on the bank loan facilities and other debt instruments at 'CRISIL AAA/CRISIL PP-MLD AAAr/Stable/CRISIL A1+'.
 
CRISIL has also withdrawn its rating on the non-convertible debentures of Rs 2020 crore (See Annexure 'Details of Rating Withdrawn' for details) in-line with its withdrawal policy. CRISIL has received independent verification that these instruments are fully redeemed.
 
The ratings reflect benefits that HDB Finance derives, from its majority owner HDFC Bank Ltd (HDFC Bank; rated 'CRISIL AAA/CRISIL AA+*/Stable'), and its strategic importance to the parent. The shared logo also enhances the moral obligation of HDFC Bank towards this entity. The ratings are also underpinned by the company's established presence in the retail finance space, and its healthy capitalisation and earnings profile.
 
From an industry perspective, the nationwide lockdown (originally till April 14, 2020) declared by the Government of India to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the disbursements and collections of non-banking finance companies (NBFCs). The lockdown is now further extended in containment zones with re-opening of the prohibited activities in a phased manner in areas outside containment zones. However, certain states have extended the lockdown. Herein, CRISIL believes that eventual lifting of restrictions will continue to be in a phased manner.
 
Further, the company's ability to manage collections and asset quality during this period of lockdown, with slow lifting of restrictions and weak macroeconomic environment is a key monitorable amidst the impact on the underlying borrower cash flows. HDB Finance has given moratorium to its borrowers and around ~30% of their borrowers in terms of value, have availed the moratorium as on June 30, 2020. While the collections were impacted in April, CRISIL understands that the collections have inched up since then till June. Nevertheless, any delay in return to normalcy could put pressure on collections and asset quality metrics and will be a key monitorable.
 
On liability side, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced regulatory measures under the Covid-19 Regulatory Package, whereby lenders were permitted to grant moratorium (originally till May 31, 2020) on bank loans which is now further extended till August 31, 2020. However, CRISIL understands that HDB Finance has not opted for any moratorium from the lenders and continues to service its debt obligations as per schedule. On the asset side, since the group has offered moratorium to its borrowers, collections are expected to be impacted till August 31, 2020. Nevertheless, CRISIL believes that entity has comfortable liquidity to meet all obligations during this period.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has analysed the business and financial risk profiles of HDB Finance. CRISIL has factored in the strong support that HDB Finance is expected to receive from its parent, HDFC Bank, on an ongoing basis and in times of distress.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Majority ownership by, and strategic importance to HDFC Bank: The ratings centrally factor in support that HDB Finance receives from HDFC Bank. The company complements the parent's product portfolio and distribution network, and supports collection activities for the retail portfolio. It receives operational and managerial support from HDFC Bank, with regard to formulation of credit policies, portfolio monitoring and collection practices, if required. Presence of senior functional executives from HDFC Bank on HDB Finance board, ensures adequate supervision over its performance. The company also receives regular funding support from its parent'Rs 3,480 crore has been infused cumulatively.
 
* Established presence in the retail finance segment: HDB Finance has emerged as one of the larger players in the retail financing space, over the past few years. The overall assets under management (AUM) stood at Rs 58,431 crore as on March 31, 2020 registering a growth of 5% y-o-y as on March 31, 2020, from Rs 55,425 crore a year ago. The slowdown in growth was largely due to cautious approach adopted by the company in certain segments as well as slowdown in underlying sale in the auto sector.
 
HDB Finance's loan book has also diversified over the years, with increased presence in commercial vehicle/construction equipment (CV/CE) financing and business loans. As a result, the share of loans against property (LAP) declined to 31% as on March 31, 2020, as compared to 41% as on March 31, 2018. Whereas, that of CV/CE loans and Business loans rose to 41% and 24%, respectively, from 35% and 20%, respectively.
 
HDB Finance has now expanded into consumer durable financing, digital products loans and other related segments. Apart from its traditional focus on the self-employed segment in non-metros, the company has now widened its reach to the metros as well. With a diversified product offering and a pan India presence, CRISIL expects growth for HDB Finance to be above the industry average over the medium term.
 
* Healthy capital position: Capitalisation remains healthy, as reflected in Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 14.0%, and overall CAR of 19.4% as on March 31, 2020.  Net worth expanded to around Rs 8,018 crore as on March 31, 2020 from Rs 7,178 crore as on March 31, 2019, while gearing stood stable at ~6.2 times. Cushion for asset side risks was adequate, as reflected in net worth coverage for net non-performing assets (NPAs) at around 4.4 times as on March 31, 2020.
While capital generation remains comfortable, the capital profile is also aided by periodic infusion by HDFC Bank.
 
* Comfortable earnings profile: HDB Finance reported healthy NII at 7.1% in fiscal 2020 as against 6.7% in fiscal 2019. However, return on assets (RoA) declined to 1.7% from 2.3% due to increase in provisions from Rs 640 crore in fiscal 2019 to Rs 1,442 crore in fiscal 2020. Operating expenses continue to remain high at 6.5% of average total assets in fiscal 2020, given the high infrastructure and employee costs in a retail lending business. Nevertheless, HDB Finance's earnings profile has been range bound, led by diversification of product mix, prudent lending and control on credit costs.
 
Weaknesses:
* Ability to maintain asset quality metrics given the current challenging environment to remain monitorable:
Overall asset quality remains adequate, though gross NPAs have risen to 3.9% as on March 31, 2020 from 2.7% as on September 30, 2019 (1.8% as on March 31, 2019). The increase in gross NPAs was mainly account of alignment of NPA norms with that of the bank since September'19 as well as challenging macro environment. The company's CV/CE segment was the worst impacted.
 
The company's ability to manage collections and asset quality during the current weak macroeconomic environment is a key monitorable amidst the impact on the underlying borrower cash flows, as the entity caters largely to self-employed segment. While the collections were impacted in April, CRISIL understands that the collections have inched up since then till June.
Liquidity Strong

HDB Finance's asset'liability management profile is adequate with positive cumulative mismatch in all buckets upto 1 year, except a small negative mismatch of 6.6% in 3-6 months bucket as on March 31, 2020. The company has upcoming repayments of Rs 4842 crore as on June 30, 2020, over next 3 months till September 30, 2020. Against this, the company has adequate liquidity in the form of unutilised bank lines amounting to Rs 5900 crore and liquid investments of Rs 2680 crore as on June 30, 2020. The company's liquidity is further cushioned by healthy inflows from assets, option to securitise loans and funding support from HDFC Bank, if required.
 
In terms of fund raising, HDB has raised around Rs.7,268 Cr. crore during April 2020 to June 2020 and continues to demonstrate ability to raise timely funds. Team expects the company to continue to be able to raise funds at competitive funding costs going forward as well.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL factors strong financial, managerial, and operational support for HDB Finance, from HDFC Bank. On a standalone basis, HDB Finance should maintain its strong position in the retail finance space, and report healthy profitability.
 
The rating on perpetual bonds remains sensitive to the capital buffer maintained by HDB Finance, over regulatory capital requirements, and rating transition on these instruments could potentially be sharper than those on other debt instruments and bank facilities.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factors
Downward Factor
* Downward change in the credit risk profile of HDFC Bank by 1 notch could have a similar rating change on HDB Finance.
* Diminution in expected support from HDFC Bank, caused by a significant decline in the bank's ownership, or in strategic importance of HDB Finance to HDFC Bank.
