Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' rating to the Rs 45000 crore non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd (HDFC). CRISIL has also withdrawn its rating on NCDs aggregating Rs 98,769.2 crore and bonds aggregating Rs 10.15 crore (See annexure 'details of rating withdrawn') on confirmation from the debenture trustee that it is fully redeemed or was unutilized. The rating is withdrawn in line with CRISIL's policy.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 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.

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 - Details of Consolidation, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Strong market position:
HDFC 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 December 31, 2018, HDFC's loan book stood at Rs 385,520 crore, a growth of 12.7% over the previous year. Gross loans, i.e. including loans securitised, stood at Rs 441,022 crore. The outstanding loans and gross loans were at Rs 359,442 crore and Rs 399,511 crore, respectively, as on March 31, 2018. 

* Healthy asset quality
Asset quality remains healthy. The gross non-performing assets (NPAs) as on December 31, 2018 was 1.22% (1.11% as on March 31, 2018 and 1.15% as on December 31, 2017). 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 from 1.16% as on March 31, 2017 to 2.46% as on December 31, 2018. NPAs in the individual portfolio stood comfortable at 0.68% as on December 31, 2018. Nevertheless, 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 market borrowings (49%) and fixed deposits (30%). The share of term loans in overall borrowings stood at 21% as on December 31, 2018. HDFC has raised Rs 10,100 crore masala bonds, at competitive rates. 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 December 31, 2018, the overall capital adequacy ratio1  (CAR) and Tier-I CAR were 18.9% and 17.2% respectively. Networth was Rs 75,593 crore. Capital of Rs 13,000 crore was raised in fiscal 2018. Of this, Rs 8,500 crore was invested in preferential allotment of HDFC Bank.  The conversion of warrants that expired in October 2018 added Rs 5,384 crore to the total capital.

The earnings profile is backed 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 (2.26% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2.29% for fiscal 2018). The return on assets was 3.3% for fiscal 2018. This includes the one-time consideration that HDFC received post the IPO of HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd in November 2017. The gains of Rs 891 crore from the listing of HDFC Asset Management Company in the August 2018 has further strengthen the financial risk profile.

Weakness
* Exposed to intense competition in the housing finance industry
HDFC, being in a mono line business of housing finance and related products, 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 of assets, HDFC's asset-liability management (ALM) profile had cumulative mismatches in the bucket up to one year as on September 30, 2018. HDFC has upcoming repayments of Rs 39,584 crore of debt (including Rs 18,800 crore commercial paper; as on December 31, 2018) by March 31, 2019. Against this, the entity has liquidity of Rs 28,881 crore in the form of bank balances, liquid fund schemes of mutual funds, deposits with banks, and investments in Government Securities as on December 31, 2018. Unutilised bank lines, NHB refinance, flexibility to securitise loan assets, and steady monthly collections also support liquidity. The unaccounted gains of listed equity including of the subsidiary and associate companies stood at Rs 1.78 lakh crore as of December 31, 2018.

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.

About the Company

HDFC, a housing finance company, was incorporated in 1977; its initial shareholders included the International Finance Corporation, Washington, and the Aga Khan Trust. As on December 31, 2018, HDFC's gross loans, stood at Rs 4,41,022 crore, of which 74% consisted of loans to individuals. Loans to corporate entities, rental discounting, and construction finance accounted for the remainder.

For fiscal 2018, under Indian- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, HDFC, on a standalone basis, reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 12,164 crore (including an exceptional gain of Rs 5,250 crore on IPO of HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd and consequent special provisioning of Rs 1,575 crore) on a total income (net of interest expense) of Rs 18,251 crore, as compared to Rs 7,443 crore (including a gain of Rs 920 crore on sale of stake in HDFC ERGO General Insurance company) and Rs 12,265 crore, respectively, for previous fiscal.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, HDFC reported a PAT  of Rs 6,771 crore (Rs 8,703 crore for the corresponding period of the previous year) on a total income2 (net of interest expense) of Rs 11,123 crore (Rs 13,843 crore).

On a consolidated basis, HDFC reported a PAT of Rs 16,255 crore (post minority interest, profit from associates) on a total income (net of interest expense) of Rs 45,689 crore for fiscal 2018, as compared to Rs 11,051 crore (post minority interest, profit from associates) and Rs 39,134 crore, respectively, for previous fiscal.

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.
