In mid-2014, Snehlata Malhotra sat in her home office and pondered her personal investment strategy. In
op
order to fund her children’s educational savings for the future, she was looking to invest in high growth
stocks that were trading below their fair value (undervalued). Based on her understanding of the market and
publicly available equity reports, she had narrowed her search to Federal Bank Limited (Federal Bank), a
Kerala-based, old generation private sector bank with a balance sheet of nearly ₹700 billion.1 Federal Bank
stock had fallen from a price of ₹54 in December 2012 to ₹46 on May 9, 2014 (see Exhibit 1). While the
decrease was a part of market-wide volatility due to global economic uncertainties at the time, the Federal
Bank stock had been affected more by large investments from foreign institutional investors—a total of 41
tC

per cent of shares as of March 30, 2014.2 Malhotra wondered whether such a fall in price was warranted
given Federal Bank’s strong fundamentals. Could Federal Bank be the undervalued investment Malhotra
was looking for? What would be the fair fundamental value of Federal Bank? During her student days,
Malhotra learned how to use the dividend discount model, a technique to identify and value potential
undervalued stocks. She decided to use that traditional model to value the Federal Bank.

THE INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

The Indian banking system was regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), an apex monetary authority
set up in 1934 to regulate the functioning of banks operating within India. RBI’s main functions comprised
ensuring monetary stability and operating the currency and credit system of the country to its advantage.3

Under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, banks in India were either scheduled or non-scheduled.
Scheduled banks had a paid-up capital and reserves of an aggregate real and exchangeable value of not less
than ₹0.5 million and were listed under the Second Schedule of the act.4 Scheduled banks could borrow

t
money from the RBI at bank rate. Non-scheduled banks, also known as local area banks, were not listed

os
under the Second Schedule. Non-scheduled banks could borrow from the RBI only in case of emergency.

Scheduled banks were further divided into five categories on the basis of ownership or nature of operation:
(1) the State Bank of India and its subsidiaries, (2) nationalized banks, (3) regional rural banks, (4) foreign
banks, and (5) Indian scheduled commercial banks in the private sector (see Exhibit 2). Finally, the private

rP
sector commercial banks were then divided into two categories: old generation and new generation. The
old generation private banks existed before the banks were nationalized in 1969 but were too small or
specialized for nationalization. New generation private banks emerged after the government banking policy
was liberalized in the 1990s.

The aggregate deposits in the Indian banking system were ₹67 trillion at the end of March 2013 and had
grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 16 per cent over the previous five years.

yo
Likewise, the total bank credit of the Indian banking system had grown at a CAGR of 17 per cent since
2009 and, as of 2016, stood at ₹52 trillion (see Exhibit 3). Public sector banks held the largest market share,
controlling almost 73 per cent of the total banking assets. Private banks controlled 20 per cent and foreign
banks controlled 7 per cent.5

However, private banks surpassed public banks in financial performance, with better profitability and asset
quality. While profit per employee for public sector banks had grown between 2010 and 2013 at a CAGR
of 10.2, growth in the private banks had been much higher, at 20 per cent. Private banks were also
op
performing better with credit: net non-performing loans as a percentage of total assets for public banks was
double that of private banks, suggesting a deteriorating financial position in the public banks (see Exhibit
4). Because of these differences in financial performance, the valuation gap between public and private
banks had been widening. The faster pace of growth was increasing the stock price for private banks, while
valuations for most of the public banks were low.6

FEDERAL BANK

Federal Bank, an old generation private sector bank based in the state of Kerala, was incorporated in 1931
in central Travancore with an authorized capital of ₹5,000. The bank operated with a large network of 1,103
branches and 1,172 automated teller machines (ATMs), making it the largest bank in Kerala and the fourth
largest among private banks in India.7 The Federal Bank’s business mix consisted of a diversified loan
No

book, well distributed between retail (32 per cent), small and medium enterprises (25 per cent), agriculture
(11.6 per cent), and corporate (31.4 per cent).8

To grow its loan book, the bank had been focusing on its traditional lending to the retail sector and to small
and medium enterprises (SME) by introducing innovative products and services. The bank had also opened
branches in regions both within and outside Kerala. Within the retail portfolio, the bank had primarily
focused on housing and mortgage segments, which constituted almost 53 per cent of the total loans

disbursed in the category.9 In fiscal year (FY) 2013/14, the Federal Bank’s overall loan book showed a

os
decline of 2.3 per cent over the previous year, but the SMEs and retail segments registered positive growth
of 6 per cent and 36 per cent respectively.10

To improve its deposit mix, the bank had been striving to increase its current and savings account (CASA)
balances to bring down the cost of funds and improve profitability. During FY 2013/14, CASA balances

rP
for the bank increased to ₹155.19 billion, representing an increase of 19 per cent over the previous year.
Within the CASA balances, savings deposits constituted 83 per cent of the total balances and increased by
20 per cent in FY 2013/14; current deposits accounted for 17 per cent of the total balances and grew 16 per
cent during the same period.11

The bank was also performing well with asset quality, decreasing its non-performing assets. The bank’s net
non-performing assets as a percentage of net advances declined from 0.98 per cent in FY 2012/13 to 0.74

yo
per cent in FY 2013/14 (see Exhibit 5).

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK

To understand the current state of financial affairs and the management outlook for the future, Malhotra
looked at the director’s report and the management discussion and analysis section of the Federal Bank’s
annual report for FY 2013/14. The bank recorded a net profit of ₹8,380 million in FY 2013/14, a growth of
op
almost 25 per cent over the previous year, driven mainly by improvement in net interest income and reduced
credit cost.

The bank had also kept its focus on strengthening the fee-based income streams, resulting in robust growth
in non-interest income by 4.3 per cent in FY 2013/14. Overall, the bank’s return on assets and return on
equity that year stood at 1.2 per cent and 12.8 per cent respectively. The bank’s provision coverage against
tC

non-performing advances, expressed as a percentage of gross non-performing assets, amounted to 84.16

per cent in FY 2013/14, well above the RBI mandated minimum of 70 per cent. Lastly, the bank operated
with a comfortable equity capital position; the bank’s capital adequacy ratio, computed according to Basel
III guidelines, was 15.14 per cent as of March 2014.12

Going forward, management identified the bank’s key challenges as improving operational efficiencies and
implementing prudent risk management practices. Over the previous two years, the Indian banking sector
No

had witnessed high price inflation, rupee depreciation, global industrial slowdown, and rising asset
delinquencies. Nonetheless, Federal Bank’s management believed that the future outlook was stable due to
the bank’s strong financial position, visible improvement in the macroeconomic environment, and easier
external financing conditions.13

VALUING FEDERAL BANK: DIVIDEND DISCOUNT VALUATION METHOD

os
The dividend discount valuation approach involved finding the present value of all of the bank’s future
dividends during the forecasted period, and then discounting that value at the computed cost of equity. The
result was the intrinsic value of the stock.

rP
Forecasting Future Data for Dividend Discount Valuation

To forecast the future dividends for the valuation exercise, Malhotra needed to forecast the Federal Bank’s
financial statements (see Exhibits 6 and 7 and the student spreadsheet, Ivey product no. 7B17N005). Given
management’s future outlook and the bank’s strong financial position, Malhotra was confident that the
Federal Bank would be able to grow its loan book at approximately 15 per cent per year for the next five
years, until 2019. To forecast the deposits, Malhotra assumed a constant advances–deposit ratio in line with

yo
FY 2013/14. Fee growth and provisions were assumed to increase in line with the loan growth in the future.
Malhotra further assumed that net interest margins, cost–income ratio, cash and bank balances, and CASAs
would be stable and in line with the FY 2013/14 levels. A tax rate of 30 per cent was a reasonable
assumption to work with. The notable change Malhotra expected was a growth in the dividend payout ratio
to about 30 per cent—the higher figure reflecting the bank’s strong financial position.

The final consideration for Malhotra was determining the cost of equity that would be used as the
op
discounting factor. To sort out the cost of equity, Malhotra estimated that the one-year beta for Federal
Bank would be 1.1 and the average equity risk premium for India was 5 per cent. She visited the RBI’s
website to get information about the risk-free rate. She learned that the yield on India’s 10-year government
treasury securities was 8.84 per cent on March 31, 2014.14

Before proceeding to the dividend discount valuation, Malhotra also collected data on the price to earnings
tC

(P/E) ratios and price to book (P/B) ratios for comparable banks, so she could assess the Federal Bank’s
relative valuation (see Exhibit 8). The P/E ratio tended to indicate how much investors were willing to pay
for each Indian rupee earned. The P/B ratio, on the other hand, compared the bank’s stock price to the
reported book value for shares. Both ratios were widely used to compare the metrics of a particular company
to its peer set or industry competitors.

With all this information in hand, Malhotra set out to value Federal Bank using the dividend discount model.
No

She wondered whether her calculated fair value would be higher or lower than the market price, and whether
Federal Bank would, in fact, be the stock she was looking for.
