Standalone:

Mumbai, July 26, 2021: The Board of Directors of Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited (Mahindra Finance), a leading provider of financial services in the rural and semi- urban markets, at its meeting held today, announced the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

FY 2022 Q1 Standalone Results

The Total Income declined by 18% at Rs. 2,187 Crores during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as against Rs. 2,655 Crores during the corresponding quarter last year. The Loss (after tax) stood at Rs. 1,529 Crores during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as against Profit After Tax of Rs.156 Crores during the corresponding quarter last year.

The primary reasons for the losses were on account of:

• ECL provision of Rs. 2,124 Crores in Q1 F22. The total number of contracts in Stage 2 and Stage 3 increased on account of Covid-related liquidity issues for consumers (refer chart below) and limited restructuring
• Made additional overlay provision of Rs. 393 Crores taking the total overlay to Rs. 2,709 Crores (up from Rs. 2,316 Crores in Mar’21)

We have experienced similar trends in prior periods of economic stress. For example, during demonetisation, GNPA peaked at 14.5%. However, after 3 quarters the GNPA dropped to 9%. And post recovery, by FY19, the GNPA’s had stabilised at 6%, thereby validating our belief that once the customer cashflow improves, the recovery is swift.

Based on our analysis of the Stage 2 and Stage 3 contracts as of June 30, 2021, it is evident that in many cases (refer chart below), either the customers have made a part-payment or have so far repaid > 50% of the original loan. We, therefore, expect a similar improvement over the next few quarters, resulting in provision reversals for 80-90% of loan contracts over Q3/Q4 F22.

The Company continues to be well-capitalised with a capital adequacy ratio of 23.8%. It has sufficient provision coverage on Stage 3 loans at 53.7% and continues to hold sufficient liquidity chest.

FY 2022 Q1 Consolidated Results

The Total Income declined by 16% to Rs. 2567 Crores during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as against Rs. 3069 Crores during the corresponding quarter last year. The Loss (after tax) stood at Rs. 1573 Crores during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as against Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.432 Crores during the corresponding quarter last year.

PBT for the quarter ended 30 June 2020 included an exceptional item in the nature of capital gain of Rs. 229 Crores recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the basis of fair valuation of retained interest of 51% post stake dilution of 49% in its subsidiaries, Mahindra Asset Management Company Private Limited (MAMCPL) and Mahindra Trustee Company Private Limited (MTCPL), vide Joint Venture agreement with Manulife Asset Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (Manulife).

The Company, in order to cover the contingencies that may arise due to the Covid 19 pandemic, had incorporated the management overlays to reflect deterioration in the macro- economic outlook in the impairment loss allowance and accordingly carried an additional overlay of Rs. 2709 Crores (pre-tax) in the standalone financial statements and Rs. 2808 Crores (pre-tax) in the consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2021.

Operations

The second wave of Covid has had a severe impact on the Semi Urban & Rural Market where your company has its major operations. The Company works largely with the earn and pay segment. With substantially lower people movement and impact on economic activity, the customers’ ability to use their assets and earn from them was severely impacted. This resulted in lower cash flows at their end. The impacted segments largely were Tourism, Taxi operations, School bus operations, Contracting segment and Heavy goods movement. Further, because of restricted movement due to lock downs, neither our executives could travel for collections nor could the customers reach our branches to pay us. Operations gradually resumed from mid-May 2020 and as of date, the company has resumed operations in most offices PAN India.

Resultantly, for the first quarter of FY22:

• the disbursements were at Rs. 3872 Crore, a Y-o-Y growth of 42% but a sequential drop of 35% - the Company has maintained market share in its lead products,
• the revenues of the Company on a standalone and consolidated basis were at Rs. 2187 crores and Rs. 2567 crores, a de-growth of 18% and 16% respectively
• the Gross NPA were higher at 15.5% compared to 9% as at March end and
• the Company reported a Loss after tax of Rs. 1529 crores and Rs. 1573 crores at stand-alone and consolidated level respectively.

The Company believes that the elevated NPAs are not a reflection of any credit risk increase but are purely delays caused by liquidity situation. Our experience in the past has always shown return to normalcy by these segments of customers once their earnings stabilise. The Company, recognising the market conditions and being conscious of the likely third wave of Covid has continued prudently with higher overlay provisions. Our understanding is that, as the market conditions normalise over the next few quarters, your company should benefit both on the Business and NPA reversal fronts.

Restructuring

During the quarter ended 30 June 2021, the Company has implemented resolution plans to relieve Covid19 Pandemic related stress of eligible borrowers in 59,455 loan accounts with a total outstanding of Rs. 2,172.00 crores as on 30 June 2021. Of these, total loan accounts which were restructured during the quarter, for 56,090 cases, having an outstanding amount of Rs. 2,069.00 crores, basis their credit assessment and the terms of restructuring, the Company has classified such loan accounts as non-impaired (Stage 2 under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments). The Company has evaluated the same basis life time repayment history of the borrowers and other qualitative factors, which have been approved by the Audit Committee of the Company in line with RBI circular no. RBI/2019-20/170DOR (NBFC).CC.PD.No.109 /22.10.106/2019-20 dated 13 March 2020. An incremental provision of Rs. 157 Crore has been made during the quarter ended 30 June, 2021 towards these restructured loan contracts.

Assets and provisioning

Impairment provisioning is done as per Expected Credit Loss (ECL) method in lnd-AS, which requires provisioning in three stages. The Gross Stage 3 levels stood at 15.5% as on June 30, 2021, against 9.2% as on corresponding reporting date last year. The Net Stage 3 levels stood at 7.8% as on June 30, 2021, against 5.7% as on the corresponding reporting date last year. The Stage 3 provisioning coverage ratio stood at 53.7% as on June 30, 2021, against 40.1% as on the corresponding reporting date last year.

The standalone Assets Under Management (AUM) stood at Rs. 78955 Crores as on June 30, 2021, as against Rs. 81436 Crores as on corresponding reporting date last year, registering a marginal decline of 3% approx.
