Tata Capital Housing Finance Limited Instrument Amount Rating Action Non Convertible Debentures Programme Rs. 400 crore [ICRA]AA+(Stable) [assigned] ICRA has assigned the rating of [ICRA]AA+ (pronounced ICRA double a plus) with ‘Stable’ outlook to the Rs. 400 Non Convertible Debt programme of Tata Capital Housing Finance Limited (TCHFL)†ICRA also has ratings outstanding of [ICRA]AA+ for subordinate bonds aggregating to Rs. 575 crore and Non Convertible Debenture programme aggregating to Rs. 500 crore of the company. ICRA also has rating outstanding of [ICRA]A1+(pronounced ICRA one plus) for the Rs.150 crore Commercial Paper Programme and Rs.100 crore Short term borrowings1 of the company. The ratings are primarily based on the strengths derived from TCHFL’s ultimate parent. TCHFL is a 100% subsidiary of Tata Capital Limited (TCL), which in turn is 90.28% owned by Tata Sons Limited (TSL), rated by ICRA at [ICRA]AAA and [ICRA] A1+. ICRA views the housing finance segment as an important extension to the existing bouquet of financial products offered by TCL, making TCHFL strategically important for the parent. The company enjoys benefits of the Tata group’s strong franchise, close board supervision and access to TCL’s infrastructure, marketing and loans origination teams which has enabled it to grow its business volumes (portfolio grew by ~43% in 2015-16 to Rs. 13004 crore as on March 31, 2016). TCHFL enjoys a healthy financial flexibility to mobilize long term funding at competitive rates on account of its strong parentage. While the ALM profile of the company exhibits some mismatches in short term buckets these are adequately backed by un-utilized banks lines. As for capitalisation profile of the company, it has benefitted from the regular infusion from the parent (Around Rs.245 crore were infused in FY2016, Rs 160 crore in 2014- 15) and ICRA expects the company to remain adequately capitalized as it continues to expand its portfolio given the strong capital commitment from its parent. TCHFL has a moderate earnings profile with its return of asset improving to 1.0% in 2015-16 against 0.9% in 2014-15 on account of higher Net Interest Margins (3.0% in 9M-FY2016 against 2.6% in 2014-15) on the back of softening of cost of funding during the period. Operating expenses for the company at 1.7% in 2015-16 continue to remain higher compared to the industry medians. Going forward while the company’s may continue to enjoy scale benefits as it leverages its branch network, earnings profile would also be dependent upon its ability to maintain a control over asset quality indicators given the large share of book to self employed customers (~44% of book in Jun-15), whose cash flows typically are more volatile compared to that of salaried customers. ICRA however notes the increase in share of salaried customers to 43% in Jun-15 against 39% in Mar-14, and the intended focus on expanding in the salaried segment by growing to tier 2 and Tier 3 locations and also by leveraging customers within the Tata ecosystem. Asset quality indicators of the company are moderate with Gross NPA% of 0.72% as on March 31, 2016 against 0.61% in Mar-15. Going forward ability of the company to maintain a control over its asset quality indicators as it continues to expand will be an important rating consideration.
