It has a pan-India presence with 154 branches 21 Affordable Housing Loan Centres & 14 Satellite Offices spread across 21 states and union territories.

Investment Rationale

CanFin Homes' (CFH) Q1FY22 results were operationally in line. While AUM grew 7% YoY/1% QoQ, disbursements declined 55% sequentially on account of lockdowns led by Covid-19's second wave.

Reported NIMs compressed 38bps QoQ (in line with management's strategy of chasing growth at the expense of margins). Lower NIMs and higher opex YoY resulted in a decline of 5%/10% in net revenue/PPOP, respectively.

*Credit costs continued to moderate with provisions declining 85% YoY/15% QoQ, resulting in PAT growth of 16% YoY/6% QoQ. Management expects growth to return from Q2FY22 while NIMs/ spreads should increase with loans getting repriced at higher yields. Asset quality should remain stable with restructuring 2.0 expected at & lt;2%.

With asset quality holding steady and growth returning, we continue our 'BUY' recommendation on the stock with any third wave induced lockdown being a major risk to our hypothesis
