Credit Deposit Ratio improved from 64% as of 31.03.18 to 70% as on 31.03.19, thanks to credit growing at 14%. 3. Non-Interest Income increased from 125 crore to 136 crore or by 9% due to an increase in commission on bancassurance, processing fees, recovery of bad debts written off, etc. 4. Due to a reduction in retirement age and increased annuity cost for DA of pensioners, staff cost increased from 287 crore to 384 crore – an increase of around 100 crore which has affected the operational profit. 5. Our operating profit reduced from 74 crore to  13 crore due to the above-mentioned surge in staff costs. 6.

Last one year performance is taken to judge how the banks have performed. Karur Vysya being the worst performer and same can be easily judge by very high NPA numbers. High NPA numbers means street will punish you. 4. City bank has fairly performed in the last one year and same can be judged by high premium of P/B multiple. So high P/B means there is a demand for stock. 5. For calculating CSB bank last one year return, the unlisted market price is taken as a base. 6-8 months back the share was available at Rs. 160 in the unlisted market. The IPO price is Rs. 195, so return of 21%.

Recommendation on Catholic Syrian Bank (CSB) Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of InvestorZone is: 5/10 Pros: 1. It is a turnaround bank. The Bank has shown a profit of 44 cr in the first 6MFY20 financials. Gross NPA has come down to 2.9%. The NIM has gone up to 3.4% from 2.51% in FY18-19. 2.  With Fairfax Holding ~Rs.1200 cr infusion in the bank, the bank has ample capital to work with. The bank now has CRAR of 22.77% which is well above the regulatory requirement. IPO is just the regulatory requirement as per RBI norms. Cons: 1. The concentration of the bulk of business in one state. The 68% business is coming from Kerala only. Any problem in the state may generate fresh NPAs. 2. The mainstay of the business is SME and Gold loan. The gold loan segment is highly competitive. The SME loan growth depends upon the economic development of the country. With GDP slowing down, it may affect the SME segment. Valuation The bank is valued at P/B multiple of 1.56x post issue.

    Best of luck for tomorrow listing.

    When will the amount be unblocked from account? Unfortunately I was not allotted any shares against my application? Will it be today or tomorrow?

    csb bank retail portion over subcribe 36 time when allotment in retail category1 out of 35

    If you can hold the shares for 1 year then you should buy unlisted shares of CSB from UnlistedZone.com:
    https://unlistedzone.com/shares/buy-sell-catholic-syrian-bank-unlisted-shares-price-allotment-shareholders/
    Please note that Lock-in period for unlisted shares is 1 year hence you won’t be able to sell unlisted shares of CSB before 1 year. Seeing the IPO demand, it looks like a wise decision to buy unlisted shares in just Rs.210-220 range and hold it for 1 year!

      Why the lock in period of 1 year? And elaborate how much minimum shares one has to buy at that price?

        This is the rule my friend. For every unlisted share, when it lists, the non-ipo shares get locked for 1 year from listing date. You can buy unlisted shares in lot of 100.. so you can buy 100, 200, 500, 1000 shares as per your financial capacity.

        Thanks for the info friend, i would like to know whether one can buy 10 shares?

    As CSB bank money will be Released on 3rd Dec. Fund Houses are Hesitating to Fund for CSB.
    All the Fund Houses Have urged Ujjivan BRLM to delay IPO by a day. Therefter BRLM have delayed IPO to 2nd Dec. Just to make sure Proper Funding for CSB.
    Now all the Fund Houses are ready to Fund Money for CSB bank, as now CSB Money will be Released on 3rd and the same will be used for Ujjivan.
    Huge Demand for Ujjivan is seen. In a Scene of Liquidity Crunch Fund Houses have asked for more Money. 
    I am Noticing 20000 CR demand seeing the Premium.

    It’s coming on 2nd Dec to 4th Dec
    Cut of Date: 25th Nov 

    ROC will give Approval Tomorrow. 

    Incase the HNI and QI are not subscribed fully or undersubscried can the company allot those shares to reatil investors?????

      There is no such case where QIBs and HNIs won’t apply , there is no chance to happen so don’t worry,

      QIB apply on last day because of 2 reasons

      1) QIBs and HNIs wait for statistics to look at Retail demand
      2) QIBs and HNIs mostly borrow heavy sum from others (so by applying on last day of “3 day IPO”, they save interest rate for 2 days for the money borrowed)

      If QIBs and HNIs didn’t applied means there is only one case, which is very very very poor retail category demand

    I have applied today for 2 lots ..is thee any chance that people applying on 2 nd day will also get shares as already it is 100 % subscribed ..

    Is applying for more shares improves the chance of allotment? Eg: If over subscription is 2.5 times and I apply for 4 lots, can I get confirm allotment of I (one) lot?

    Key takeaways from CSB Bank catholic ipo meet

    *View-

    Honestly the sort of turnaround that the bank has achieved in past 18 months is nothing short of phenomenal. Profitability of the bank should see massive improvement in next 2 years driven by higher loan growth, better book mix, high margins and low cost income ratio. Bank can deliver mid teens ROE from FY22, and hence can command a premium to peers. Also CEO seems very confident on its ability to deliver better return ratios, management team quality is also very decent.

    Capital adequacy at 22% has improved substantially post fair fax infusion.

    Loan book has started to grow at 17-18%, this is helping in an increase in credit deposit ratio, which in turn is helping in better margins. Credit deposit ratio should continue to improve.

    Current book mix – 33% is gold loan, 32% SME, 8% retail and 28% corporate.

    Going forward growth will be driven by gold, msme and retail.

    A new msme team from a private bank is joining this month to drive msme growth. 2 wheeler and gold loans there is already a very competitive team in place.

    NIM has improved to 3.4% from 2.1% in FY16, margins should continue to improve via a better credit deposit ratio, a better loan book mix (gold loan yields are 12.5% and have an upward bias, MSME yields also upwards of 12%, – both the business should be growth drivers for them with their mix improving sharply)

    Deposits- Bank has cut rates this year and despite the cut seen a 98% renewal rate in retail term deposits, this should help contain cost of funds at low levels. CASA ratio stands at 28%, management intends to take this to over 40% in next few years.

    Operating costs- In last 2 years, employee base has reduced from 3000 to 1900, additionally now the bank is out of the IBA wage agreements, almost all its employees are on CTC basis. Management has reduced employee cost significantly, and they target further reduction. Current average salary per employee is 11.5 lac, where as new employees are being appointed at 3.5-4 lac, it expects a material reduction in costs of wages in next few years.

    Also currently bank has 260 branches which won’t be expanded in a big way, they will shut some branches and open new branches.

    Cost Income ratio- FY19 cost income ratio was 102%, it included one time provisioning of 100 crore on account of VRS given to employees. Currently cost income ratio has improved to 66%, this should further see sharp improvement driven by higher income growth led by better margins and expansion in loan book, at the same time operating cost should be contained in account of continuous reduction in employee cost.

    Asset Quality- currently GNPA is 2% with almost 80% Provision cover. All of the legacy problems have been more than addressed and no shocks is expected going ahead. In the new disbursement taken place in last 3 years, they have seen only one major NPA of 25 crore, and as such management is confident of asset quality of the new book. Credit costs are expected to be pretty controlled.

    Promoter holding – Fairfax will own 49.7% stake post listing, it has to get this down to 40% in next 5 years, 30% in 10 years and 15% in next 15 years progressively.

    Post heavy losses in FY18/19, CSB declares operating profit of 90 crore in H1FY20 and 44 crore of PAT. This implies 4.5% ROE.

    Bank post issue Mcap is expected to be 3400 crore, it’s net worth is about 2000 crore currently.
    implying a P/BV of 1.7x TTM.

    Many People are spreading negative news as many counters are short.

    I repeat Bank has no such news.
    Bank is transforming Hence Prem Wasta has boarded train to turn Around.

    Those who are short must cover.
    Mostly listing at 230-260 depending on Other situations.

    Retail is 10% so Allotment is Hard
    Its a small IPO anyone can Operate it easily.

    No Retail Pressure will b there.

    Hence Apply.

    Premium may come down, due to less Funding Availability with HBFC. Even Ujjivan will Eat Money.
