24 April 2020 3

Control the controllable Survival of the fittest

With the Retail sector being at the forefront in the current COVID-19 crisis, we foresee an

impact on retailers not just during the lockdown but much after, given the prolonged

weakness in spending. In this report, we discuss the potential areas of impact on retailers,

likely mitigating factors, and how to think about stocks post a 50% correction from yearly

highs.

Cost of retailing to drop, but by how much?

Most apparel retailers generate gross margins of 30–50%, implying an average cost

of retailing at 30–40%. In an ideal scenario, when sales are at a standstill, the above-

mentioned cost of retailing should ideally flow to the bottom line. However, our

channel checks and management discussion indicate half this cost, 15–20pp, could

be saved by cutting marketing/advertising activity and from variable rental cost and

savings from closed stores. Furthermore, even rental cost is expected to see some

waiver given the negotiations underway, as per our channel checks. Hence, the cost

of retailing can be further reduced by 5–7pp, in effect reducing cash burn to 10–

15% of revenue during lockdown. Grocery retailers such as DMart incur barely 6–

7% cost of retailing (GM 15% and EBITDA 8%), given their ownership model, high

throughput, and limited marketing cost. This too should reduce by 50–60% on

account of stores being closed (50%) and SG&A savings.

Prolonged recovery to delay new store openings and create labor issues Even once the prevalent lockdown is lifted, the risks of COVID-19, coupled with

weakness in spending, should extend the impact on store footfall as consumers

would curb mall visits and indulgent spending. China saw 30% of normal sales in the

first few weeks. Grocery chains such as DMart could see a lower impact, as sales

from non-essential items (~30% of revenue) are impacted due to store closures.

New store additions would also be drastically reduced as retailers may curb

expansion to ease the strain on the balance sheet and demand slackness. Mall

owners are likely to stall new projects, and vacancies may rise even with delayed

openings. Furthermore, the impact of migrant workers and low employee turnout

may hit product availability and store operations. Subsequently, we believe there

could be a potential 20–25% revenue impact, which may intensify if issues last

beyond two to three months.

Inventory management – Discount or no discount?

This could turn out to be a key pain point once normalcy returns as inventory

typically comprises 30–45% of retailers’ balance sheets (FY19). The extent of the

impact on each company would depend on: a) the number of private labels and

brand ownerships, b) astute inventory management, and c) the extent of inventory

holding capacity. Weaker retailers may endeavor to shift the pain on vendors,

Cost of retailing to drop 5–7%; rental exemption during lockdown would

be a major relief.

Inventory could turn out to be a key pain point

once normalcy returns as inventory typically

comprises 30–45% of retailers’ balance sheets

(FY19).

stretching his liquidity, and thus face supply and store freshness issues. We foresee

a 5–7% potential impact, due to either sharp discounting or inventory write-downs,

as players feel the pinch of a bloated inventory cycle. However, another school of

thought is that if inventory is sold quickly, inventory would be exhausted, and

manufacturers may commence fresh production after two to three months for the

festive season only after receiving firm orders. Players such as Trent could see a

higher impact given that private labels form over 90% of its revenue. However, its

astute inventory management should help mitigate some of the impact. ABFRL has

65% private labels in Pantaloons and the Lifestyle segment’s inventory, but a high

proportion of consignment sales. It runs on a 12-season cycle with quick turnaround,

thus reducing system-wide inventory bloating. Shoppers Stop is best placed as 75%+

of its inventory is on a consignment basis. V-Mart holds complete inventory risk,

with procurement on an outright basis. On the other hand, nearly 80% of Future

Lifestyle’s business is consignment-based (sales or return), but the remaining 20%

has a stretched working capital.

Balance sheet – A recipe for smooth sailing

At a time when retailers are witnessing a severe cash crunch and inventory risks, we

would prefer to bank on companies with low leverage and strong parentage. Trent is

best placed, with INR9b cash on the books post the recent preferential issue to TATA

Sons. ABFRL’s debt of INR15b is on the higher side and hence in a precarious

situation; however, its free cash flow on a stable-state basis despite the healthy

pace of store additions leaves it in a relatively better position. V-Mart and Shoppers

Stop are cash neutral and FCF positive. What gives us confidence is that V-Mart,

since its IPO in FY13, has fueled its expansion entirely through internal sources.

Future Retail and Future Lifestyle could witness issues due to their leveraged

balance sheets and high debt at the promoter level, which could accentuate

concerns at a time when banks turn extra cautious in doling out new loans.

Valuation view: Stay with the fittest

Although the Retail sector has commanded very high multiples in the recent past, it

is likely to witness a setback due to the current crisis. Even after the sharp earnings

revision, stocks are trading at ~20x FY22EV/EBDITA, with uncertain growth in the

near term; hence, the valuation is not particularly cheap even after the recent sharp

correction. Another way to look at the stocks is that even after the washout in FY21,

things may start to look better in FY22. Still, against 20% earnings revision for FY22,

stocks have corrected 40–50%, thus the multiple has been cut by 20-25%.

Nevertheless, recovery in stocks may depend on future growth performance; so,

even if stocks may not fall further, we may see time correction. However, it may be

wise to bet on players with sound execution capabilities and stable balance sheets,

who could take advantage once the cycle revives. We prefer, TRENT, ABFRL, and

VMART. ABFRL‘s high leverage is a dampener in the current weak market, but it has

a strong parentage and remains a dominant force in the apparel market with

consistently delivering strong growth at a healthy ROCE. TRENT has best in class

execution with healthy balance sheet – INR5.5b net cash and lean working capital.

VMART is a strong force in the regional market, with deep penetration, lowest cost

of retailing garners and healthy ROCE.

Companies with strong balance sheet and cash position (D-Mart/Trent)

would tide over the crisis

India Strategy BSE Sensex: 31,863 Nifty-50: 9,314

Insight into market-cap changes since Feb’20 peak Consumer gains at the cost of Financials

Analyzing market-cap changes: Deep diving into sectoral variances The Nifty and the broader markets have corrected significantly over the last two

months (the Nifty is down ~25% from its peak of 12,201 in Feb), in tandem with

global equity markets, due to headwinds from the COVID-19 outbreak across

multiple countries.

India’s (BSE 500) market capitalization is down 23% from the peak of INR149.5t

in Feb’20. Over the same period, the Nifty-50’s market cap is down by 23% to

INR70.6t, Nifty Mid-Cap 100’s market-cap is down by 28% to INR12.4t, and Nifty

Small-Cap 100 by 34% to INR3.4t.

We also looked at market-cap changes in a sector v/s the peak market cap to

highlight the divergence in performances in various sectors. Based on this

metric, we noted NBFCs (-41%), Real Estate (-40%), Metals (-36%), Private Banks

(-36%), Media (-36%), PSU Banks (-34%), and Automobiles (-31%) were the

laggards.

Healthcare (+5%) was the only sector to escape the fall and remain positive.

Consumer (-4%) and Telecom (-10%) outperformed this metric with <=10%

correction from the peak market caps [Exhibit 2].

Key observations on BSE-500 market-cap trends (also sector-wise):

Among the BSE 500 constituents, of the total market-cap correction of INR34.7t

(to INR114.8t currently from INR149.5t in Feb’20), four sectors – Private Banks

(20%, lost INR6.9t), NBFCs (17%, INR6t), Technology (11%, INR3.7t), and

Automobiles (8%, INR2.8t) – contributed more than half to the absolute change

in the market-cap of BSE-500 companies.

In Private Banks, of the total market-cap erosion of INR6.9t, HDFC Bank

accounted for 25%, followed by ICICI Bank (20%), Kotak Mahindra Bank (16%),

and Axis Bank (13%).

NBFCs’ market cap eroded by INR6t, led by Bajaj Finance (INR1.6t), HDFC

(INR1.3t), and Bajaj Finserv (INR0.8t).

~67% of the Technology market-cap erosion was led by three stocks: TCS (40%,

INR1.5t), Infosys (16%, INR0.6t), and HCL Tech (11%, INR0.4t).

Consumer pipped Private Banks for the leading position in market cap as it

restricted its fall to 4% or INR0.8t, against decline of 36% or INR6.9t witnessed in

Private Banks, which slipped to the fourth position.

Telecom was another sector to jump six positions, reaching the 10th position.

Metals, on another hand, slipped to the 17th position from 11th.

24 April 2020 6

Key observations on Nifty: eight of Top 10 stocks are from Financials The bulk of the correction (i.e., ~58%) in the Nifty’s market capitalization to

INR70.6t, from INR91.6t since Feb’20, has been driven by HDFC Bank (8.4%),

Bajaj Finance (7.5%), TCS (7.2%), ICICI Bank (6.6%), HDFC (6.4%), SBI (5.6%),

Kotak Mahindra Bank (5.2%), Axis Bank (4.4%), Bajaj Finserv (3.8%) and Reliance

Industries (3.2%).

On the other hand, HUL, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy’s, Nestle and Cipla were the only

stocks to escape the fall with increased market cap over the same period.

In terms of percentage decline in market cap, IndusInd Bank (-67%), Tata Motors

(-55%), Bajaj Finance (-55%), Bajaj Finserv (-51%), and Vedanta (-46%) were the

key laggards.

A rise in market cap was witnessed in Cipla (+31%), Dr Reddy’s (+27%), Sun

Pharma (+14%), Nestle (+8%), and HUL (+6%).

The top gainers in market-cap rankings were Cipla (moved up thirteen

positions), Sun Pharma (moved up nine positions), Dr Reddy’s (moved up seven

positions), Nestle (moved up six positions), Asian Paints (moved up five

positions), and Britannia (moved up five positions).

Top losers in market-cap rankings included IndusInd Bank (down thirteen

positions), Bajaj Finserv (down ten positions), Tata Motors (down nine

positions), Bajaj Finance (down five positions), and ONGC (down five positions).

Key observations for the last 25 years: Market cap increased ~30x India’s market cap has seen an increase of ~30x in the last 25 years; market cap

increase stood at ~38x before the recent decline.

Share of PSUs halved to 12%, v/s 24% in CY95.

There are now zero PSU companies in the Top 10, compared with five PSUs 25

years ago.

The Top 50 share, which has remained quite stable over the years, currently

contributes 62%.

10 stocks that have been a part of the Top 50 then and now are BPCL, HDFC,

HUL, IOCL, ITC, L&T, Nestle, ONGC, Reliance Industries, and SBI.

Mid-caps v/s large-caps: Presenting the divergence Market polarization is further demonstrated in the rising share of the market

cap of the Top 15 companies as a percentage of the market cap of the Top 100

companies. This ratio, at 52.8% in Apr’20, is substantially higher than its lowest

mark in the last 15 years (44.5% in Dec’17) and the same as Feb’20 levels.

At INR12.4t, the Midcap 100’s absolute market cap is down 43% from the peak

of INR21.9t in Jan’18 and the lowest in the last seven years. Nifty’s market cap

at INR70.6t is down 21% from the peak of INR90t in Dec’19. Overall, in terms of

market-cap accretion, the Midcap 100 has reported 25% decline, while the Nifty

has shown an increase of 27% since Dec’14.

Consequently, the trailing five-year CAGR returns of the Nifty 50 and Nifty

Midcap have changed course. In Mar’18, the trailing five-year CAGR returns for

Nifty Midcap were at 20% and for Nifty at 12% (i.e., returns over Mar’13–

Mar’18). This gap has now been reversed – now the trailing five year returns for

Nifty stands at 2.3% as against 0.3% for Nifty Midcap 100. [Exhibit 14].

24 April 2020 7

Could global banks’ IT spends surprise positively? What does our reading of the AR19s of global banks suggest? More than ~25% of all new products are provided through digital channels;

~33% of sales and up to ~70% of all banking transactions now happen digitally.

Banks are making significant investments in areas such as User Interface (UI) and

Artificial Intelligence (AI), which allow them to offer great personalization. Data,

analytics and automation are other areas attracting investments.

Across banks, such as Deutsche Bank (DB), while G&A spends are under

constant pressure, IT spends are either resilient or showing a robust increase.

Companies are creating a new Chief Digital Office (e.g., U.S. Bancorp) for

overseeing digital transformation and enhancing digital capabilities.

Banking firms such as Citibank and BofA have been investing in digital initiatives

to unlock efficiency improvements. Resultant cost savings are, in turn, being

used to finance incremental investments and growth-driven expenses.

Enterprises such as JPMorgan are adopting more agile ways of working,

including product- and platform-based architectures.

How are global BFSI firms fighting the COVID-19 crisis? Annual reports for 2019 (AR19s) and 1QCY20 earnings call commentaries

suggest first-order business disruption due to COVID-19 is limited to a few

aspects, such as BPO capacities.

Up to ~90% of bank employees are currently working from home.

Most of the firms acknowledged the role of technology/infrastructure

investments in enabling remote work at such a large scale and short notice.

These firms hinted their early investments in digital capabilities were helping

customers to continue remotely banking with them, even in the peak of this

crisis, as social distancing became the new norm.

Can COVID-19 negatively impact global banks’ technology spends?

While the first-order impact due to COVID-19 may be limited, side-effects (such

as interest rate cuts globally, capital market volatility, and potential

bankruptcies in debt-heavy sectors) could translate into a second-order impact.

Hence, intuitively, it appears that IT spends by banks may be impacted in the

near term, dragged down by decline in discretionary spending. Pricing pressure

on run spends and extensions on payment terms are other key concerns.

However, AR19s and 1QCY20 earnings calls paint a different picture. It is

relevant to note these firms have released their annual reports very recently.

Accordingly, the COVID-19 situation would have more or less been factored in.

Three kinds of technology investments are likely to drive positive surprise on IT

spends by global banks: (1) accelerating the ‘digital’ edge, (2) cost-cutting

through efficiency improvements, and (3) capitalizing on incremental

opportunities presented by the COVID-19 crisis.

(1) Accelerating the ‘digital’ edge: Case studies of JPMorgan & DB JPMorgan’s AR19 highlights despite the COVID-19 crisis, the firm is budgeting for

a 4% YoY increase (v/s 6% in CY19) in technology spend. The report further

states that 50% of the IT spends would be dedicated to ‘new’ capabilities.

Additionally, the annual report underscores that as the company modernizes its

infrastructure and scales up its digital capabilities, it would continue to make key

investments needed to “change the bank,” while deploying resources “to run

the bank” efficiently.

We view this as the case study of a company aggressively investing even in

downturn to strengthen its competitive advantage in the digital space.

This trend is likely to be supported by the fact that the liquidity positions of

most of the large banks in the US and EU are currently in a much better shape

than during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008–09 (Refer Exhibit-21).

The converse of this case study is that of DB. The bank’s AR19 suggests troubles

and cost pressures translated into a drop in most of the G&A expenses.

However, technology spends remained stable in CY19.

The company continued investing in core banking platforms and digital/remote

advisory tools to create a robust technology platform for future growth.

This case study emphasizes that banks are not compromising on IT spends

despite cost pressures, given it is a means to build a competitive edge.

(2) Unlocking efficiency improvements: Case studies of BofA and Citigroup

The AR19s of Bank of America and Citigroup highlight their bet on tech/digital

initiatives as a means to unlock efficiency improvements.

For instance, digital capability enhancements, greater use of automation and

implementation of agile IT solutions could help in branch network optimization.

The resultant cost savings from these measures are anticipated to further

finance incremental investment initiatives and growth-driven expenses.

Revenue headwinds posed by COVID-19 should further drive the need for such

efficiency improvements and cost savings.

Besides, firms may also show an increasing propensity to offshore IT services

work to low cost locations like India in pursuit of cost rationalization.

(3) Incremental opportunities: Case studies of U.S. Bancorp & Wells Fargo

The COVID-19 crisis is presenting incremental opportunities for IT companies

owing to the rising digital adoption among customers and employees on

account of the lockdowns, social distancing protocols, and the need to enable

Work from Home (WFH) access worldwide.

Naturally, some areas such as Infrastructure As-A-Service (IaaS), collaborative

and digital access tools are witnessing a strong surge in demand.

U.S. Bancorp highlighted that it had leveraged on agile development to

introduce digital tools/processes that would allow customers quick access to

stimulus funds distributed by the US federal government.

Furthermore, its IT teams designed and deployed a new digital forbearance tool

that witnessed >50% customer adoption within a week of launch.

Expect near-term uncertainty; prefer TCS, INFO, HCLT, and LTI While we expect supply-side uncertainties to ease out over 1QFY21, demand,

pricing, and receivable uncertainties should continue in the near-term, given the

constantly evolving nature of the COVID-19 crisis.

Negative news flow around the sector may likely continue given the seriousness

of the COVID-19 situation in geographies such as the US, UK, EU, and India.

Despite these uncertainties, we continue to prefer TCS, Infosys, and HCLT

among the large-caps and LTI among the Tier II. This is attributable to their

historical track record of adapting to multiple business challenges / technology

change cycles.

Moreover, recent results/commentaries of TCS, Infosys, and global banks offer

us some comfort on the new business wins, ramp-ups, supply-side aspects, cost

optimization, and margin management capabilities of these companies.

Good show in key geographies (US/India) drives earnings Minimal impact seen on business due to COVID-19 outbreak The domestic formulation (DF) segment of Alembic Pharma (ALPM) has

finally shown signs of revival after four quarters of muted growth. ALPM remains on track in terms of finishing its large capex project (~INR25b)

to enhance new dosage offerings and increase capacity requirements in the US Generics segment. We expect the benefit to be witnessed from FY22.

We have increased our EPS estimate by 11.4%/6.2% for FY21/22 to factor in the favorable outlook for its base portfolio and new launches in US Generics. Accordingly, we have revised our price target to INR705 (from INR642 earlier) on a 17x 12M forward earnings basis. Maintain Neutral stance on limited upside from current levels.

Formulations – Outperformer; API – Underperformer for quarter ALPM’s 4QFY20 revenues came in at INR12.1b, up 30% YoY, led by

International Formulations (+80% YoY), supported by growth in the US segment (48% of sales; +84% YoY to USD75m) and the Non-US segment (11% of sales; +63% YoY).

Growth in the DF business also picked up (13% YoY; 28% of sales), while that in the API business was dragged down to some extent (-33% YoY; 13% of sales).

The gross margin expanded 140bp YoY to 78% owing to a superior product mix. The EBITDA margin expanded 790bp YoY to 27.1% (our estimate: 25.3%), led by improved operating leverage (employee cost down -120bp YoY/other expenses down 520bp YoY as % of sales, offset by higher R&D expense of +240bp YoY). EBITDA grew 84% YoY to INR3.4b (our estimate: INR2.9b).

Consequently, Adj. PAT grew 88% YoY to INR2.3b (our estimate: INR1.8b). For FY20, revenue/EBITDA/Adj.PAT stood at INR46.1b/INR12b/INR8.3b,

largely led by strong traction in US generic. The DF business was subdued on full year basis.

Highlights from management commentary The US base business from already-approved products is likely to witness a

quarterly run rate of USD70m (v/s USD50m up to 3QFY20) going forward. ALPM is expected to launch azithromycin in the US shortly. Overall R&D expense would be in the range of ~INR7b in FY21. ALPM intends

to file 25–30 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) annually for the next two to three years.

The course correction strategy would enable better growth in DF over the next two to three years.

ALPM depends on China for 15% of its overall input. Since Mar’20, normalcy has been observed in production from Chinese raw material suppliers.

Valuation and view Given the high base of the US business in FY20, we expect compounded

earnings to decline 5% over FY20–22. Moreover, we are yet to see consistency in the DF business’ performance following the implementation of this renewed strategy. Accordingly, we continue to value ALPM at 17x 12M forward earnings to arrive at a price target of INR705 (prior: INR642). Maintain Neutral on limited upside from current levels.

Operating performance in line; India beats estimates, EU disappoints 1QCY20 consol. revenues declined ~23.5% YoY to ~INR16.6b (v/s est.

~INR17b).

EBITDA declined 35.5% YoY to ~INR1.8b (in-line) due to negative operating

leverage.

Forex loss of ~INR454m (largely at Bill Forge’s Mexican operations) hurt PAT,

which declined ~86% YoY to ~INR208m (v/s est. ~INR650m).

India business performance was above est. with revenues declining just ~8%

YoY to ~INR7.8b (v/s est. ~INR7b). India PBIT margins stood at 6.8% (v/s est.

3.7%), a decline of 480bp YoY.

EU business performance was below est. with revenue declining ~34% YoY to

~INR8.8b (v/s est. ~INR10b). EU PBIT margins were 6% (v/s est. 8.2%), a

decline of ~330bp YoY.

Key highlights from the presentation:

Estimated impact of the shutdown in India since 23rd Mar’20 is ~10% of sales;

in EU, it is estimated at ~20% in Italy and 10% in Germany and Spain.

Expect Apr’20 sales to be close to zero in all regions while uncertainty should

remain for May-Jun’20. The company expects recovery potentially in 3QCY20,

though risk of recurrence of the virus exists.

It is focused on controlling capex (only urgent and important capex to be

approved), drawing down inventory, and reducing cost (incl. labor). It has

adequate liquidity and undrawn lines to sustain any further extension in the

lockdown.

ECOSCOPE The Economy Observer

Long-dated securities get RBI support via fifth ‘Operation Twist’

RBI expected to announce more open market purchases

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced the simultaneous purchase and sale of different maturity bond papers

and sale of treasury/cash management bills respectively on 27th Apr'20. This is the fifth 'Operation Twist' announced by

the RBI and it has come after a gap of three 3 months. The previous four operations were held on 23rd Dec'19, 30th

Dec'19, 6th Jan'20 and 23rd Jan'20.

While the RBI would purchase INR100b worth of dated securities (ranging from 6-year to 10-year maturity) on 27th

Apr'20, it would sell treasury/cash management bills (with maturity of 77-days to 364-days) worth an equivalent

amount. However, the operations held in Dec'19 and Jan'20 did not involve equivalent amount of purchase buy and

sale of securities. On a net basis, the RBI actually purchased INR47b and INR60b worth of long-term securities in Dec'19

and Jan'20, respectively (Exhibit 1).

Although such operations don't inject liquidity on net basis into the system (which is probably not even required at this

stage), they would have the desired effect of flattening the yield curve, i.e. - reducing yields at the long-end with

pressure at the short-end of the yield curve. A.

Further, the government has also expanded its borrowings by INR2t in 1QFY21 via T-bills and the RBI has also increased

the Ways & Means Advances (WMA) from INR1.25t earlier to INR2t for 1HFY21. These steps effectively take care of the

higher financing requirement of the central government.

Finally, considering the surge in demand for treasury bills in the recent auctions, there is market speculation that the RBI

has already entered the secondary bond market. Sooner or later, it is believed that the RBI would start open market

purchases of government securities. Consequently, the benchmark bond yield has declined fallen during from ~6.5%

towards 6.05% during the past few trading sessions.

RBI has purchased net amount of IRN460b through OMOs in

CY20 so far

The 10-year benchmark bond yield has fallen back to ~6.1%

level in the past 10 days (%)

Insights from interaction with Finance Minister of Kerala To understand the fiscal position of Kerala in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we interacted with

Honorable Dr. T.M. Thomas Isaac, Minister of Finance, Kerala Government. Key insights

highlighted below:

Kerala does not have any option but to borrow at high interest rate… The state governments cannot directly borrow from the RBI or from the market. Also,

currently Kerala does not have an expansionary tax collection scenario. The only solution

is for the central government to transfer additional resources to states. If that does not

happen, the states would have no other option but to borrow at high yields, even at

~12%.

…owing to expected huge gaps in receipts…

While the normal Apr’20 revenue collection estimate for Kerala was ~INR100b, the

expectation is now lower at ~INR20b (including transfer from center and own tax

collections). This means a huge gap of ~INR80b for just one month. Adding arrears of

Mar’20, the total revenue gap is likely to be ~INR100b for Apr’20 alone. While Kerala has

decided to defer salary payments, additional revenue shortages would mean curtailment

of development expenditure. This would only aggravate a situation which is already

recessionary. Therefore, the central government needs to identify additional funding

avenues for the state governments, even if it means direct monetizing of deficit by the

RBI.

…and lesser devolution of funds from the center The center has already budgeted ~INR700b lesser devolution to states in FY21 compared to what was recommended

by the Finance Commission. In light of the current scenario, there is a chance the center might end up reducing it

even more. The Kerala government had budgeted INR326.3b as transfer from the central government for FY21 (BE),

but this seems unlikely currently.

Kerala was swift in handling the Coronavirus outbreak in early stages The outbreak of ‘Nipah virus’ three years back gave the Kerala government some training in handling the current

pandemic. Therefore, the Kerala government was well prepared with all medical assistance in early-Jan’20 (the

government was aware of some students returning from Wuhan in the early week of Jan’20). Moreover, the fact

that Kerala has ‘one of the best public health systems in India’ also helped the state perform better than others in

fighting the Coronavirus. The present Kerala state government has invested ~INR40b in health infrastructure over

the last 4 years and has also created another fund of ~INR50b for health. Additionally, presence of strong

local/municipal bodies has kept matters at the ground level in check. All these positives put together made Kerala

react swiftly to the disease outbreak.

Other points of interaction Issuance of NRI bonds: There is a strict limit on the amount that states can borrow (3% of GSDP). Therefore, no

matter the name of the bond, states’ borrowings have to be within this limit.

Including tax on liquor and tobacco within the GST framework: Since these are the only revenue sources for

Kerala, the state is not in favor of these segments coming under GST.

Minimum revenue guarantee in GST: Due to various operational and non-operational issues in GST, the amount

of cess collected in the Compensation fund (from which the center had planned to compensate the states) has

fallen short. The center is yet to accept recommendations made by the states like one-time borrowing in order to

compensate the states.

Gradual recovery in past few weeks Rural India on better footing

To discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the payments bank business and emerging opportunities

in the digital payment landscape, we interacted with Fino Payments Bank’s (FINO) Managing

Director and CEO, Mr. Rishi Gupta.

About the company FINO deals in key financial services such as remittances, cash withdrawals, cash

management services (CMS), etc. The company boasts of 30% market share in CMS,

60% market share in micro-ATMs and 8-10% market share in IMPS transactions. It caters

largely to the low/mid-income customer segment, with 75%+ of its 0.4m touch-points in

rural areas. Its monthly transaction run-rate amounts to INR100b.

Volumes plunged sharply at the start of the lockdown, 65-70% recovery now When the lockdown hit, Fino’s key business of remittances (typically 40% of business

volume and 20% of revenue) declined to 10% of its average. However, with economic

activity picking up, volumes have improved to 35% of its average now. Likewise, in cash

withdrawals, transaction values have declined 30-40% from an average of INR3k while

IMPS transactions have declined to 10% of its average. Overall revenues have now

returned to 65-70% of pre-lockdown revenues. Mr. Gupta expects it to improve

further to 75-80% in 1-2 months and remain stable thereafter.

Rural India better placed; State-wise impact divergent Rural India is better placed compared to urban areas due to (a) higher dependence of

the population on agriculture and other essential services, and (b) government

stimulus being largely targeted at the rural population. On the other hand, urban cash

flows have been badly impacted. Interestingly, Mr. Gupta commented that post-COVID,

many migrants from urban areas are moving to rural areas and aspiring to become channel partners. Impact across

states has also been divergent with Maharashtra, Gujarat, MP and Telangana being the most impacted (business

at 30% of run-rate levels). On the other hand, Bihar, UP, Chhattisgarh, WB, Assam and Orissa are less impacted.

Witnessing partial pick-up in microfinance activities Post partial lifting of the lockdown on 20th Apr’20, MFI activities have picked up to ~5-10% of pre-COVID levels. A

further pick-up is expected post 3rd May’20. Note that MFIs use FINO’s digital platforms to take deposits, etc.

Renewed focus on digitization Post demonetization, changes implemented were largely on the payments front. However, in the current crisis,

increased digitization is happening internally (processes, means of customer interactions, etc.) Moreover,

digitization during demonetization was restricted to urban areas while in this case, it could be more rural. While the

likes of RuPay already exist in rural areas, Mr. Gupta expects deeper collaboration between banks and Fintechs.

Business Correspondent model – Variable cost model leads to quicker break-even Mr. Gupta believes that the government and the RBI have a favorable stance toward business correspondents (BC).

There are more than 800k BCs/merchant points across the country. Typically, a margin of 40-150bp is earned on a

transaction, of which 60-70% is paid to the merchant while the rest is retained by the company. Importantly, a key

mantra for success in this business, especially in rural areas, is running a variable-cost model. For example, FINO

pays INR25-30 per customer for referrals, which is much lower than the acquisition cost of banks. Hence, break-even

happens in 3-6 months on an average. In the recent past, banks have increased payouts to BCs.

Boarding (for aviation industry) to take time Aviation industry is hit hard by global lockdowns and is struggling to keep its wings up. With

various countries now planning to come out of the lockdown, we interacted with Mr. Jitender

Bhargava, Superannuated as Executive Director of Air India, to understand the current

turbulences faced by aviation companies in light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Key

highlights:

Global impact of COVID-19

Airlines have been impacted by various travel advisory bans issued globally due to the

spread of COVID-19. Due to this, world over >90% of the fleet is grounded. IATA

estimates global aviation revenue loss of ~USD315b, with ~25m likely job losses.

Globally, ~8 airline companies have declared cessation of operations (including Air

Deccan in India). The impact of COVID-19 is not comparable with SARS of 2003 (the

latter was limited only to APAC), and thus, it would be years before normalcy is

restored.

Also, work from home (WFM) and virtual connects have been a huge success currently,

minimizing the need for air travel. This would lead to a huge change in travelers’

psychology (as corporations would consider cutting air travel expenses). IATA

commissioned a survey, which suggests that ~40% travelers could delay travel by six

months, while ~69% travelers would delay flying until their personal financial situation

stabilizes. China, which resumed its services last month, saw a spurt in travelers initially

(primarily a demand from stranded migrant travelers), which later moderated.

Social distancing – key to operations resuming, but also a dampener

Aviation industry is expected to open up completely only after the virus is contained or

if there is optimism on the invention of a successful vaccine. Emirates has stated that it

is not looking to start flying before Jul’20 (an optimistic scenario). Even Australia – the least affected country by

COVID-19 – is flying at lower than 10% Passenger Load Factors (PLFs). Social gatherings would also be restricted in

terms of numbers, which is a weak sign for the sector (Tokyo Olympics has been postponed to 2021 and many

articles are suggesting that it may not be held even then).

Further, it has been proposed that the last three rows of an aircraft should be kept vacant for self-isolation while the

entire middle row should also be empty for social distancing. If such social distancing measures are implemented,

only 30-35% of an aircraft can be filled at max, which would demand even higher breakeven costs. Ryanair has

stated that it would not start flying if social distancing is implemented (with vacant middle seats). Airlines are likely

to provide masks and gloves (however, there is a huge supply constraint of the same) and sanitize planes each time

they takeoff, which would add to their operating costs. Higher breakeven would require hike in fares, thus limiting

air travel affordability. Nevertheless, screening for COVID-19 at airports would also slow air traffic further.

India – Airlines need to be more disciplined now and must revisit their business model

Airlines in India have been adding fleet at a frantic pace to capture market share, thus, sacrificing their profitability.

India currently has a total of ~650 planes, of which ~50% are on lease. According to CAPA’s estimate, of the total

fleet, ~200 planes would be surplus capacity in the current situation. SpiceJet had utilization of >90% for the last four

years, but high capacity addition wiped off its cash reserves. Currently, barring INDIGO, no other Indian airline

carrier has enough cash reserves. Further, lease expenses are also killing the cash-strapped Indian airlines. Leasing

companies are under stress, since they have to pay their outstanding loans, thus renegotiations of lease rentals

could be tough. INDIGO and SpiceJet have placed huge orders for new aircraft, and if markets don’t revive, they

would not be able to sell seats, and the low-fare war would continue. Thus, the companies would have to revisit

their strategies now.

Indian airlines have been rushing to start their operations without any clear directive from the DGCA. International

operations are expected to be delayed by months; the resumption of even domestic operations would be quite

tough. For instance, the Mumbai – Delhi route, which has more than 100 daily flights, might not be initiated at first

as they are marked red zones, thus impacting flights on other routes as well. The Government of India (GoI) is

planning on providing possible aids (however, GoI has limited resources unlike the US) like extension of credit for

fuel expenses or airport charges, etc.

Air India Divestment likely to get postponed in the current environment

The GOI is expected to further roll forward the dates for ‘Expression of Interest’ in Air India in the current

environment. It is likely that airlines with deep pockets might participate in the bids, but with huge operational

constraints and their fleet grounded, it does not seem likely that they would be in a position to acquire Air India.

Logically, there could be two options to revive Air India – disinvestment or bringing in professional management and

thorough leadership – but, the government is only looking at disinvestment. Other airlines are adding fleet while Air

India (being cash-strapped) is seeing reduction in fleet, and thus, its market share is expected to continue sliding.

SHRIRAM TRANSPORT FINANCE: PENT-UP DEMAND IN TRANSPORTATION TO START SHOWING FROM MID MAY; Umesh Revankar, MD As far as the collection is concerned, most of our branches are open now.

Company is operating as per the local government’s broad instructions. Many of

the branches are opening between 8-1pm; so collections are taking place.

As far as the new disbursement is concerned, RTOs are not open. What is most

important in business is RTOs have to be open. The transfer of ownership has to

happen, the endorsement or hypothecation has to be done on the RC book; only

then company can lend. So have a huge pipeline case pertaining to March. So

unless the RTO office starts operating and completes the transaction, will not be

able to lend. So the pipeline cases are huge and company is eagerly waiting for

RTO to start functioning.

Feel the business will resume in the fullest extent by mid May because all the

production lines, manufacturing, all of them have to restart their business and

nearly 40% of the manufacturing activity has started from 20 April. The only

thing for them is to get back the labour force and start the operation with

around 25% to 30% of the workforce minimum and that will take time.

Huge pent-up demand which will start showing from mid May and June should

be a normal month is what I feel.

RECENT AMENDMENTS TO FDI POLICY – A BOON OR A BANE? Much has been reported about press note 3 of 2020 issued by the Department

for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade on April 17, over the last couple of

days. Pursuant to the press note, an entity situated in a country which shares

land border with India, or where the beneficial owner of an investment into

India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, is inter alia permitted to

invest in Indian entities only under the government approval route. Further, any

transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment (FDI) in

an entity in India (indirectly or indirectly) resulting in the beneficial ownership

falling within the purview of the above restrictions, would require the

government’s approval. The above restrictions came into effect from April 22

(i.e. the date of notification of the amendments to the Foreign Exchange

Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 (“Rules")). The press note

appears to have been issued in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic and the

effect it has had on entities operating in various sectors, making them relatively

tempting targets for acquisition. The restrictions contemplated would cut across

all sectors and would be applicable to entities operating in sectors which are

otherwise permitted to receive FDI under the automatic route (such as

attractive sectors like e-commerce, services and logistics).
