ICICI Bank (ICBK.BO, Rs673.25, NEUTRAL [V], TP Rs673.00) ICRA downgrades car loan pools: Asset quality concerns continue says Credit Suisse · ICRA has downgraded five auto loan securitisation pools originated by ICICI Bank – both used and new cars; this follows downgrades earlier this year by CRISIL for auto/CV/personal loan pools. · An analysis of 29 ICRA-rated ICICI Bank new car pools demonstrates that 1) both 90 and 180-day delinquencies for pools of recent vintage are significantly higher than those of older pools (please see Figure 2) 2) delinquency levels for individual pools continue to rise over the quarters (data until March-08). · The continuing downgrades and pool performance data reflect that delinquencies across retail lending segments remain higher than expected for ICICI Bank, and are a cause for concern. · This also implies that ICICI would have to put up higher collateral levels to attain AAA ratings for new securitisation transactions – this would increase capital requirement and affect the economics. · Deteriorating credit quality continued to show in 1QFY3/09 when delinquency rose sharply, and net NPLs rose 30bp QoQ despite rising loan provisioning – we remain concerned on asset quality.
