PRICE PERFORMANCE (%)

GNPLs rise given transition to 90dpd, coverage maintained at >60%
GNPLs rose to 9% (6.77% in Q3FY18) as SCUF transitioned to 90dpd norm. The rise stood EW Banks and
Stock Nifty Financial
lower than our estimate, suggesting improving underlying recovery trend. Having said Services Index
that, credit cost rose to 5.7% as SCUF maintained healthy coverage of >60%. With

DeMon/GST and transition challenges now over, asset quality could improve hereon.
3 months 17.5 (4.1) (10.0)

Outlook and valuations: Growth momentum key; maintain ‘BUY’
DeMon and GST had tested SCUF’s business resilience given its dependence on the self-
employed segment. However, the recovery trends are encouraging. We estimate 22-24%
AUM CAGR and >40% earnings CAGR (albeit on low base) over FY18-20, with RoA/RoE of
3.8%/~19%. At CMP, the stock trades at 2.3x FY20E P/ABV. We maintain ‘BUY/SO’ with TP of

Company Description
SCUF was incorporated in 1986 as a deposit accepting NBFC. Prior to 2002, it was exclusively
engaged in transport finance with special emphasis on financing pre-owned commercial
vehicles to small road transport operators. In 2002, it extended its product lines to include
small-ticket retail financing, viz., consumer durables, two wheelers, personal, and enterprise
loans. It deliberately went slow on disbursements in the CV segment, which has become a
key area of its group company Shriram Transport Finance. The company's operations are
largely concentrated in the southern states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka
and the western region (particularly Maharashtra).

SCUF offers only small-ticket retail products (ranging from INR 25,000-250,000) with shorter
tenures (12-30 months), which generate yields in excess of 20%. The company has been
successful in keeping its default rates at lower levels by better assessment of its customers
and effective collection of its loans and has maintained best in class NIMs at 13-14%

Investment Theme
SCUF follows a unique and sound business model with presence in high-yielding, high-
growth, small-ticket retail finance segment (consumer durable finance, auto loans, personal
loans, business finance, and retail gold loans), and RoAs of 3.5-4.0% plus. Demonetisation
and GST have tested SCUF’s business resilience given its dependence on the self-employed
segment. However, the recovery trends are encouraging. We estimate 22-24% AUM CAGR
and >40% earnings CAGR (albeit on low base) over FY18-20, with RoA/RoE of 3.8%/~19%.

Key Risks
SCUF operates in the small-ticket retail finance segment in semi-urban and rural areas and
may face stiff competition from banks, other financial institutions, and multinational players,
which have access to cheap funds. Our earnings estimates may not fructify if the company is
unable to maintain its spreads at expected levels due to inability to maintain yields amidst
stiff competition.

Risk of frauds and NPA accretion is inherent to the retail lending business and NPA
provisioning could be higher than our estimates in case further economic slowdown or dip
in income levels
