Company Analysis

Business interests…

Bajaj Finserv is a financial conglomerate engaged in life insurance, general

insurance, consumer finance and other financial products. Apart from

financial services, the company has an operational wind energy asset. The

portfolio of the company includes 74% in the two insurance companies

viz. Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company (BALIC) and Bajaj Allianz General

Insurance Company (BAGIC), 50% holding in Bajaj Allianz Financial

Distributors, 57.6% in Bajaj Finance and 100% holding in Bajaj Financial

Solutions.

Consolidated revenues grew at ~8.3% CAGR in FY10-17 from | 13997

crore to | 24522 crore. Within the same, the contribution of insurance was

~57% while that of Bajaj Finance was 46% in FY17. Improving profitability

from the life insurance segment compared to loss in FY08 of | 213 crore to

PBT of | 1349 crore in FY12, led PBT to grow at 31.3% CAGR in FY10-15 to

| 3246 crore. With new IRDA guidelines, from FY13, the life insurance

segment deteriorated while the Bajaj Finance business picked up from

FY11 (10x rise in PBT from | 38 crore to | 310 crore) started contributing a

higher proportion to PBT. General insurance also normalised from FY13.

Going ahead, we estimate consolidated revenues will grow at 20.5% CAGR

in FY18-19E to | 35584 crore. Owing to increasing profitability in the

finance segment and steady performance on general insurance, the

bottomline is seen growing at a faster pace at ~33.6% CAGR in FY18-19E

to | 4040 crore.

Strong traction in commercial finance and general insurance boosted the

topline. The life insurance business is showing signs of a pick-up with

continued traction in the individual business. Finance business is

witnessing healthy growth in profitability. General insurance continued to

make underwriting profit led by lower claims during the quarter.

Healthy traction in finance book to continue in FY18-19E

Bajaj Finance is the highest profit making segment with PAT growing at

40% CAGR in FY11-17 to | 1837 crore in FY17. NII CAGR has been 35% in

FY10-17 while in the past three years it has been maintained above 30% at

37% to | 5507 crore as on FY17. Margins, on an average, have been above

10% over the past three to five years. Strong traction on the advances

front of 36% CAGR in the past five years and three years has helped

maintain NII traction.

Led by strong growth in advances, the commercial finance business

continued to see traction with 38.5% YoY growth in topline at | 3165 crore,

providing a boost to the consolidated performance. PBT also increased

39.7% YoY at | 941 crore, above our estimate during the quarter. Asset

quality continued to remain robust with net NPA ratio at 0.53%.

Leadership position in under penetrated & growing segments like CD

financing, lifestyle product financing, two-wheeler financing, LAP, etc

(which account for ~50% of its portfolio) provide a robust growth

opportunity. Going ahead, we expect overall advances traction at 33%

CAGR in FY17-19E to | 101546 crore driven by the CF segment driven by

CD financing business. Enhanced competition and growing risks in the LAP

segment may keep traction in the SME segment a bit lower at 29% CAGR.

NII is expected to grow at 31% CAGR in FY17-19E to | 9450 crore. In FY17-

19E, we expect PAT traction to remain strong at 34% CAGR to | 3287

crore, driven by a steady operating performance, strong growth & margins

and controlled asset quality & credit cost.

Life insurance business to stabilise in two or three years

Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance (BALIC), a 74:26 JV between Bajaj Finserv and

Allianz SE recorded its first profit since FY10 of | 542 crore. The company

is now earning higher PAT of | 836 crore, after touching peaks of | 1311

crore. First year new business premium (NBP) growth has been under

pressure from FY09 onwards due to a slowing economy while declining

traction in Ulip from FY10 further impacted total premiums, to reach | 5844

crore in FY14 from over | 10600 crore in FY09. Going ahead, we expect

the life insurance business to pick up gradually with share of individual

business improving post FY17-19E. Hence, we expect the premium to

grow at 9.6% CAGR to | 7424 crore in FY18-19E.

After a subdued performance in the previous quarter, life insurance

premium growth revived at 14.9% YoY to | 1154 crore, marginally in line

with our estimate. New business premium growth remained healthy at

Individual premium has witnessed robust growth in

Q1FY18 at ~120% YoY

18% YoY to | 683 crore, led by 120% YoY increase in individual business.

However, owing to higher-than-expected expenses, PBT came at | 2107

crore; down 19.6% YoY and below our estimate of | 251 crore.

We factor in an improvement in the scenario with NBP from growing at

10.9% CAGR to | 4045 crore and APE seen growing at 11.2% CAGR (on

lower base) to | 2633 crore over FY18-19E.

Gross written premium (GWP) has de-grown at 20% CAGR from FY12-15

to | 6017 crore, on account of a decline in linked premium led by

surrenders. BALIC’s linked premium share in total premium declined from

highs of 94% in FY09 (| 9986 crore) to 29% (| 1746 crore) in FY15. On an

NBP basis, it declined from 99% to 19% in FY15. Regulatory changes in

September 2010 and a market correction led to an increase in surrenders

from | 4464 crore in FY11 to | 7250 crore in FY14. Accordingly, AUM fell

from | 32880 crore in FY11 to | 21287 crore in FY14. Going ahead, an

expected rise in AUM will assist interest income while lower surrenders

will boost persistency ratios. Therefore, after witnessing a decline in PAT

from FY13 to FY15 due to declining AUM, we expect PAT to remain in

positive territory ahead. However, in anticipation of gradual pick up in new

business and renewal premium ahead, we expect PAT growth to pick up

gradually continuing at ~9.1% CAGR in FY18-19E to | 995 crore.

With an APE decline, new business achieved profit (NBAP) margins

moderated from 14.3% to 11% in FY13 but surged again to 18% in FY15

on a lower APE base (APE excludes group superannuation business) that

slid to 16.6% and 12.9% in FY16 and FY17, respectively (as expected). We

believe NBAP margins will stabilise around 13-14% in the next two years.

BAGIC has consistently grown over the last decade with gross direct

premium (GWP) growing at 18.2% CAGR in FY05-14, surpassing industry

growth of 15.1% during the same period. In FY15, BAGIC had GWP of

| 5230 crore, growing at 14% YoY vs. 10.1% for industry and 9.7% for

private players. For FY16, growth has been at 11.3%, marginally behind

industry growth of 12.4%. However, in FY17, the topline regained growth

at 30% YoY. The primary focus of the company is on the retail segment

with motor and health insurance forming a major pie contributing ~70% of

overall business. Motor continues to form ~50% of business mix.

With prudent underwriting practices and focus on preserving profitability,

BAGIC was able to report a steady improvement in combined ratio from

111% in FY11 to 96.7% in FY15, which led to underwriting profits of | 83

crore in FY15. In FY16, the combined ratio witnessed an up-tick at 99.3%,

owing to higher claims related to floods in Chennai. The combined ratio

has improved at 96.8% in FY17. Also, provision due to third party motor

pool claims and exceptional provisioning for ‘motor decline risk’ pool has

been fully taken in FY14. This had impacted FY12 and FY13 profitability

leading to losses (| 240 crore of transitional liability).

General insurance premium growth continued to remain robust at 29.2%

YoY to | 1973 crore, above our estimate, led by higher crop insurance.

Subsequently, PBT increased 62% YoY to | 317 crore, above our estimate

of | 243 crore, owing to higher top-line and improvement in combined

ratio (total expenses including claims). Combined ratio improved at 95.8%

in Q1FY18 compared to 101.2% in Q1FY17, though it declined QoQ

compared to 92.7% in Q4FY17. This led to underwriting profit of | 12 crore

compared to loss of | 28 crore in Q1FY17. Going ahead, we expect the

growth momentum to continue at a steady rate and factor in NEP, PAT

growth at 23.2%, 22.8% CAGR to | 8329 crore, | 1177 crore, respectively

in FY18-19E.

Retail consists of ~70% of overall business while majority

comprises the motor business, which remains the core

strength of BAGIC

Outlook and valuation

Given Bajaj’s strong leadership in the domestic market and presence in

growing business verticals, we expect the entity to continue its focus on

improvement in earnings growth and sustenance of a healthy balance

sheet. Both insurance companies are yet to pay dividend. In case of

payouts, consolidated profits can see further upside not factored in

estimates. The same can improve return ratios further for the consolidated

entity. Going ahead, we expect consolidated revenue and PAT to grow at a

CAGR of 20.5% and ~33.6% to | 35584 crore and | 4040 crore,

respectively, over FY18-19E.

We stay positive on the stock due to 1) sustained healthy performance of

Bajaj Finance, 2) strong growth in general insurance business and 3)

gradual traction in individual new business premium. Therefore, we revise

our target price upwards at | 5170/share, based on SOTP valuation,

implying a multiple of 20.4x on FY19E consolidated earnings. The stock is

available at P/E valuation of 18.3x FY19E earnings. Consequently, we

maintain BUY. Dividend from the insurance business can be an upside risk.
