    Investment Rationale
    HomeFirst exited FY21 on expected lines with: 1) stage-3 assets at 1.8%, credit cost at 100bps, 1+ dpd pool at 6.2%, and zero restructuring; 2) disbursements regaining traction in Q4FY21 or H2FY21 (to be precise) supported AUM growth of 14% YoY / 5% QoQ; 3) after a pause, securitisation of Rs1.2bn of asset pool yielded income of Rs181mn (securitisation income in FY21 being at par with FY20 at 1.1% of assets); 4) Portfolio spreads drawing support of lower borrowing cost (down to 7.4% in Q4FY21) settled >5%. With >30% AUM growth, funding cost benefit, improved cost to income ratio, and contained credit cost, it expects earnings to compound at ~40% over FY21-FY23E. However due to excessive capitalisation (tier-1 at 55%) and despite >3% RoAs, RoEs will be modest at ~12%. It maintains BUY. Key risks: i) sourcing as well as collections managed by front-end team; ii) apartment home loans showing some stress (in pockets).
