TMB’s asset quality results have reached a steady and benign stage

Based on our exhaustive comparative analysis of 11 mid and smallcap private sector banks, we note that TMB has the lowest GNPA ratio of 1.7% as of FY22, compared with 1.8-8.7% for the remaining peers. The annualised slippage ratio for TMB of 1.6% in FY22 was the 3rd lowest in our comparison universe, with 8 banks ranging between 3.1-6.9%. The annualised credit cost for TMB of 0.4% in FY22 was the 4th lowest, with 7 other banks ranging between 0.4-5.2%. Even so, the PCR including technical write-offs for TMB as of FY22 at 87.9% is the second healthiest in our comparison universe, behind only CSB. TMB’s exposure to corporate loans is low at 12.5% and while the corporate NPL cycle is currently benign, this low exposure also implies a granular loan book leading to greater asset quality stability, ceteris paribus. Furthermore, exposure to higher-risk unsecured retail segments such as credit cards and microfinance is very small with unsecured loans, as a whole, being just 0.83% of total loan book.

TMB Pre-IPO shares

TMB’s loan growth performance and prospects are appropriate in our opinion.

TMB’s 3-year FY19-22 loan CAGR of 8.1% ranks fourth among our 11-bank comparison universe. This performance should also be examined in the perspective of the epidemic, when general lending was curtailed. TMB has a defined strategy of focusing on the RAM (Retail, Agri, MSME) bucket, which has achieved a CAGR of 13% over the last two years. TMB has a modest loan book base of Rs 335bn, the third smallest in our comparison universe, and hence growth possibilities should be easier to identify, all else being equal. Furthermore, capital is not an impediment to growth because the common equity tier 1 ratio is the second healthiest in our comparative universe, at 20.4% as of FY22.

We acknowledge that TMB’s growth pattern has traditionally been contiguous, with 76% of advancements centred within Tamil Nadu; hence, the purpose and execution of growth outside Tamil Nadu would be a crucial monitorable in terms of measuring the balance sheet’s long-term scalability.

While cost of deposits is relatively on the higher side, the net interest margin outcome is healthy

Cost of deposits for TMB at 4.9% for FY22 is the second highest in our comparison universe, although not necessarily high in the absolute sense. DCB’s cost of deposits of 6.1% for FY22 would be regarded so. Thanks to a reasonable yield on advances of 9.5% for FY22 for TMB, which is the 5th highest in our comparison universe, the bank achieved a NIM of 4.1% for FY22, which is the 4th best in our comparison universe.
