YES BANK LTD FPO NOTE (Avoid)

Review By Rudra Shares & Stock Brokers Ltd on July 15, 2020

VALUATION

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy and thereby the bank. As a result, it has impacted customer base and we expect this to continue further in respect of their loan repayments which could result in higher NPA's going ahead. Already, there is a concern regarding asset quality for the bank & various other concerns relating to significant decline in the Bank's deposit base due to further increase in moratorium period. The increase in the Bank's Net NPA ratios and credit rating downgrades has put pressure on the bank.

Moreover, there is also a breach in of Tier 1 capital ratio as at 31 March 2020. The CET1 ratio and the Tier 1 capital ratio for the Bank as at 31 March 2020 stood at 6.3%.and 6.5 % as compared to the minimum requirements of 7.375% and 8.875% respectively.

SBI which is the biggest shareholder in YES Bank, is providing further support for a maximum investment of up to Rs 1,760 crore in the FPO could provide some strength to the bank. Also, the stock is available at discount of 50% at Rs 13(on upper price band) per share. Still, we cannot ignore the weak fundamentals of the bank with losses & contingent liabilities hovering around. Higher risk taking investors may invest in the FPO with significant risk reward ratio. However, we recommend to AVOID the FPO.

 

SUMMARY TO THE FPO

Ø Heavy equity dilution: The outstanding number of equity shares of Yes bank  is around 1255cr. Through this FPO, it is  planning to raise around Rs 15000cr which implies straight 50% dilution in the equity base(around new Rs 1154-1250cr equity share capital  expected to be issued).

Ø The main aim of the FPO is to generate adequate capital to support growth and expansion, including enhancing solvency and capital adequacy ratio. But, this again can support the growth story for time being only. The bank's NPA's are already on the rise and over the top extension in the EMI moratorium is likely to build pressure on their loan books.

Ø There were a lot of corporate governance issues in YBL. Now, as  series of lenders has infused equity & SBI is planning to infuse another tranche of equity of ` 1760cr , we expect this can bring in positive sentiments for bank.

Ø Yes Bank's new management has set the objective to rebuild the bank and calibrate growth over the next six to twelve months by rebuilding liabilities and liquidity buffers, optimising cost, strengthening the governance and underwriting framework, and focusing on stressed assets resolution.

Ø ROA is expected to improve1-1.5% in next 3-5years.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

SBI which is the biggest shareholder in YES Bank, is providing further support for a maximum investment of up to Rs 1,760 crore in the FPO could provide some strength to the bank. Still, we cannot ignore the weak fundamentals of the bank with losses & contingent liabilities hovering around. Higher risk taking investors may invest in the FPO with significant risk reward ratio.
