Investment Rationale
DCB Bank’s (DCB) Q1FY23 result has to be seen in the context of seasonality. It utilised business seasonality to ramp-up infrastructure – it added >600 employees mainly for sales and opened five branches during Q1FY23. Since Sep’21, cumulatively, it added >1,850 employees and opened ~50 branches. Considering improved credit demand (disbursements up 2.5% QoQ) and investment towards growth infrastructure, it expects credit growth to improve going forward. Also, it plans to double its balance sheet in next 3-4 years. While fresh slippages remained elevated at Rs5.7bn (7.7% annualised), recoveries / upgrades equally remained robust at Rs5.7bn, resulting in GNPL falling to 4.2% vs 4.3% in Q4FY22. Due to net negative slippages, credit cost too settled lower at Rs350mn vs Rs676mn in Q4FY22. Bulk of slippages came from gold loan book. Management expects overall fresh slippages to normalise at pre-covid level over the next 2-3 quarters.
