Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has assigned its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' rating to the Rs 45,000 crore non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC). The ratings on the other debt instruments and fixed deposits have been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL AAA/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'.

 

Further, CRISIL Ratings has withdrawn its rating on NCDs of Rs 47,307 crore, subordinated debt of Rs 1,000 crore and bonds of Rs 4 crore (See Annexure 'Details of Rating Withdrawn' for details), in line with its withdrawal policy. CRISIL Ratings has received an independent verification that these instruments are fully redeemed.             

 

The ratings continue to factor in the company’s leading market position and sound track record in the housing finance business, healthy asset quality, diversified and stable resource profile, and strong financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by exposure to intense competition in the housing finance segment.

 

The nationwide lockdown to contain the Covid-19 pandemic impacted disbursements and collections of financial institutions. Though the lockdown has been eased in phases, delay in return to normalcy will continue to constrain collections and asset quality of financial institutions. Additionally, any change in the payment discipline of borrowers can affect delinquencies.

 

The company had provided moratorium to its borrowers in line with the relief measures provided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). After lifting of the moratorium, collections have picked up to 97.6% in December 2020 from 96.3% in September 2020

 

On the asset quality front, gross non-performing assets (NPAs) improved to 1.67% as on December 31, 2020, from 1.99% as on March 31, 2020 (1.18% as on March 31, 2019).  Without factoring in the Supreme Court's order dated September 3, 2020, on maintaining a standstill on NPA classification, gross NPAs (proforma basis) stood at 1.91% as on December 31, 2020. Gross NPAs could witness an uptick from current levels, primarily in the wholesale book. However, the company has made adequate provisions to manage potential credit costs; as on December 31, 2020, the cumulative Covid-19 provision stood at Rs 959 crore.

 

As on December 31, 2020, assets of Rs 5,010 crore (0.9% of the gross loans as on December 31, 2020) is being restructured under RBI’s Resolution Framework for Covid-19-Related Stress. Of the total loans under restructuring, 26% are individual loans and 74% non-individual loans. While the one-time restructuring scheme is likely to provide the necessary support to borrowers affected by the pandemic, the implementation of the same remains to be seen.

 

On the liabilities side, RBI had announced regulatory measures under the Covid-19 - Regulatory Package, whereby lenders were permitted to grant moratorium on bank loans. HDFC had not availed any moratorium on its bank loans or any other borrowings.

 

As on February 28, 2021, the company had liquidity of Rs 37,728 crore in the form of bank balances, liquid fund schemes of mutual funds, deposits with banks, and investments in government securities. The total debt payment over the next three months (excluding commercial paper [CP] rollovers) till May 31, 2021 is Rs 50,533 crore.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has consolidated the business and financial risk profiles of HDFC and its subsidiaries and associates. CRISIL Ratings expects managerial and financial support to these subsidiaries on account of their strategic importance, majority shareholding and shared brand name.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Strong market position:

HDFC is India's largest housing finance company, with profitable growth over the past 43 years in the individual housing and corporate segments. While competition has increased over time, with the entry of new players and greater focus by banks on this segment, HDFC has maintained its market share. As on December 31, 2020, the loan book stood at Rs 4,83,919 crore, a growth of 10% over the previous year (Rs 4,41,472 crore as on December 31, 2019; Rs 4,50,903 crore as on March 31, 2020). Gross loans, including loans sold, stood at Rs 5,52,167 crore as on this date (Rs 5,05,401 crore as on December 31, 2019; Rs 5,16,773 crore as on March 31, 2020). The company also has a sizeable presence in other financial services, including life insurance, general insurance, AMC and education financing, through subsidiaries.

 

  • Healthy asset quality:

Overall asset quality remains healthy with gross NPAs as on December 31, 2020 at 1.67% (1.99% as on March 31, 2020). The NPAs have increased from the March 31, 2017, level (0.79%), largely on account of delinquencies in the non-individual portfolio, leading to an increase in NPAs in this segment to 4.00% as on December 31, 2020, from 1.16% as on March 31, 2017 (4.71% as on March 31, 2020). NPAs in the individual portfolio were comfortable at 0.79% as on December 31, 2020 (0.95% as on March 31, 2020). With a sizeable exposure to the real estate sector and the sensitivity of such sectors to prolonged liquidity tightness, performance of such loans will remain a monitorable. Nevertheless, RBIs measure on extension of the date of commencement of commercial operations (DCCO) for commercial real estate projects should provide some respite.  

 

  • Diversified and stable resource profile:

The resource profile continues to be well-diversified, lending flexibility to HDFC's borrowings. The borrowing mix primarily comprises of market borrowings (43%) and fixed deposits (33%). The share of term loans (including external commercial borrowings [ECBs]) in the overall borrowings stood at 24% as on December 31, 2020. Strong resource-raising capabilities, high fixed deposit renewals, and the high proportion of floating rate home loans in the portfolio mitigate the inherent tenure mismatch and interest rate risks in the housing finance business.

 

  • Strong financial risk profile:

Financial risk profile remains sound, marked by healthy capitalisation and earnings profile. As on December 31, 2020, HDFC (standalone) had an overall capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 20.9% and Tier-I CAR of 19.9%. The networth and adjusted gearing stood at Rs 105,720 crore and 4.7 times, respectively, as on this date. The company also has an established track record of raising capital. The most recent round of capital raising was done in August 2020, wherein the company had raised Rs 10,307 crore through a combination of qualified institutional placement and NCDs (with warrants)

 

The earnings profile is marked by comfortable interest spreads, low expense levels, and good returns on networth. The interest spread has been range bound between 2.15-2.35% over the past five years (2.28% for the nine month ended fiscal 2021; 2.27% for fiscal 2020). Return on assets (RoA) stood at 3.6% for fiscal 2020, including the one-time consideration that HDFC received from profit on sale of investment for the stake sale in Gruh Finance and profits from fair value change on account of de-recognition of investments in Gruh Finance to tune of Rs 12,541 crore. For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, RoA (annualised) was 1.8%.

 

Weakness:

  • Exposure to intense competition in the housing finance industry:

HDFC is exposed to intense competition in the retail mortgage loan segment especially from banks. Lately, with weak corporate loan demand, banks have become aggressive in the retail mortgage space.

Liquidity: Superior

Given the longer tenure on asset side, the asset-liability maturity (ALM) profile (as on September 30, 2020) had mismatches in a few buckets. Nevertheless, on a reported basis, cumulative mismatch in the up to one year bucket was positive. As on February 28, 2020, upcoming repayments (excluding CP rollovers) were Rs 50,533 crore of debt (of which Rs 11,170 crore is CP repayments) by May 31, 2021. Against this, liquidity is around Rs 37,728 crore in the form of bank balances, liquid fund schemes of mutual funds, deposits with banks, and investments in government securities as on February 28, 2021. Further cushion is provided by National Housing Bank (NHB) refinance, flexibility to securitise loan assets, and adequate flow of monthly collections. The unaccounted gains of listed equity including the Corporation's subsidiary and associate companies stood at Rs 2.64 lakh crore as at February 28, 2021.

Outlook: Stable

HDFC should maintain its robust credit risk profile over the medium term, backed by healthy asset quality and a strong financial risk profile. Strong franchise and fundamentals should enable the company to maintain its competitive position, supporting its present ratings.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Downward factors

  • Deterioration in asset quality with gross NPAs ratio over 3% on a steady-state basis, thereby impacting profitability
  • Weakening of the capital structure with a significant increase in the gearing
