Piramal Enterprises generated INR150bn of capital from the sale of its domestic formulations business to Abbott (2010) and INR89bn from its stake in Vodafone India (2014). It has been using this capital to invest heavily in its financial services businesses: a) it picked up stakes in the Shriram group, both in the operating entities (Shriram Transport Finance and Shriram City Union Finance) as well as the holding company, Shriram Capital; and b) it invested in building an organic portfolio of assets, primarily geared to the real estate segment. Key Highlights Piramal’s financial services business has evolved over the last 10 years: it has moved from being a pure early-stage/mezzanine financier in 2006 to a full-service lender with presence across the real-estate life-cycle. The company has been continuously de-risking its book by diversifying away from the high yield high risk real estate business with loan book growth >45% YoY in each of last 15 quarters. The loan book is well diversified with presence in segments like construction finance (40%), structured debt (19%), corporate lending (18%), housing finance (7%) among others. Key Risks Prolonged slowdown in the real estate business may impact the business growth momentum Any unrelated diversification into high capital intensive areas. 2 Edelweiss Research is also available on www.edelweissresearch.com, Bloomberg - EDEL, Thomson Reuters, and Factset Edelweiss Securities Limited Piramal Enterprises DISCLAIMER Edelweiss Securities Limited (“ESL” or “Research Entity”) is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) and is licensed to carry on the business of broking, depository services and related activities.
