Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' rating to the Rs 45000 crore non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC). CRISIL has also withdrawn its rating on NCDs aggregating Rs 21,500 crore and bonds aggregating Rs 3.55 crore (See annexure 'details of rating withdrawn') on confirmation from the debenture trustee that it is fully redeemed or was unutilized. The rating is withdrawn in line with CRISIL's policy. The ratings on the other debt instruments and fixed deposits have been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL AAA/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'.
 
The ratings continue to factor in HDFC's leading market position and sound track record in the housing finance businesses, 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.

Analytical Approach

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

Please refer Annexure - List of entities consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Strong market position:
It is India's largest housing finance company, with profitable growth over the past 40 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 March 31, 2019, HDFC's loan book stood at Rs 4,06,607 crore, a growth of 12.1% over the previous year. Gross loans i.e. including loans securitised, stood at Rs 4,61,913 crore as on same date (Rs 4,02,880 crore, respectively, as on March 31, 2018).  Loan book stood at Rs 416,597 cr as on June 30, 2019, logging in a growth of 11.1%. HDFC Ltd also has sizeable presence in other financial services space including life insurance, general insurance, AMC and education financing business, through its subsidiaries.
 
* Healthy asset quality
Asset quality remains healthy. The gross non-performing assets (NPAs) as on March 31, 2019 was 1.17% (1.11% as on March 31, 2018). The NPAs have witnessed an uptick from March 31, 2017 levels (0.79%), largely on account of delinquencies in non-individual portfolio, leading to an increase in NPAs in this segment to 2.34% as on March 31, 2019 from 1.16% as on March 31, 2017. NPAs in the individual portfolio stood comfortable at 0.70% as on March 31, 2019. As on June 30, 2019, GNPA ratio stood at 1.29%. With the slowdown in the real estate sector and incipient stress for developers, HDFC's sizeable exposure to the builder and corporate segments will remain a sensitivity factor.
 
* 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 (50%) and fixed deposits (29%). The share of term loans in overall borrowings stood at 17% as on March 31, 2019. HDFC raised external commercial borrowings (ECBs) of ~Rs 7,000 crores in fiscal 2019. HDFC's strong resource-raising capabilities, high fixed deposit renewals, and the high proportion of floating rate home loans in its 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 March 31, 2019, HDFC had an overall capital adequacy ratio1 (CAR) of 19.1% and Tier-I CAR of 17.5%. Networth stood at Rs 77,355 crore as on same date. HDFC raised Rs 13,000 crore capital in Q4FY18. Further, conversion of warrants led to ~Rs 5,300 crore increase in networth in fiscal 2019. Adjusted gearing of the company stood at 5.4 times as on Mar-19. As on June 30, 2019, tier 1 ratio and CAR stood at 17.3% and 18.8% respectively.
 
The earnings profile is marked by healthy interest spreads, low expense levels, and good returns on networth. The interest spread has been at 2.15%-2.35% over the past five years (2.30% for the fiscal 2019). The return on assets was 2.2% for fiscal 2019, including the one-time consideration that HDFC received from the gains of Rs 891 crore through the listing of HDFC Asset Management Company in the August 2018.
 
Weakness:
* Exposed to intense competition in the housing finance industry:
HDFC is exposed to intensifying competition in the housing finance industry. Especially, of late, the housing finance industry has been facing intense competition on account of new entrants and increased focus from public sector banks.
Liquidity

Given the longer tenure on asset side, the ALM (asset liability management) profile of HDFC had a cumulative negative mismatch in upto one year bucket as on March 31, 2019. As on June 2019, HDFC has upcoming repayments (excluding CP rollovers) stands at Rs 48,795 crore of debt (of which Rs 8,850 crore is commercial paper repayments) by September 30, 2019. Against this, the entity has liquidity of around Rs 31,284 crore in the form of bank balances, liquid fund schemes of mutual funds, deposits with banks, and investments in Government Securities as on June, 2019. Further cushion is provided by NHB refinance, flexibility to securitize 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 2.08 lakh crores as at June 30, 2019.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes HDFC will maintain its robust credit risk profile over the medium term, backed by its healthy asset quality, and strong financial risk profile. Strong franchise and fundamentals will, likely, enable the company to maintain its competitive position, supporting its present ratings. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if HDFC's asset quality or profitability weakens significantly.

Loans to corporate entities, rental discounting, and construction finance accounted for 5%, 9% and 12% respectively.
 
The company also has strong presence in life insurance, general insurance, asset management and education financing business through its subsidiaries - HDFC Life insurance company, HDFC Ergo, HDFC AMC and HDFC Credila respectively.

We have rated over 24,500 large and mid-scale corporates and financial institutions.
