Rating Action: Moody's takes rating actions on 11 Indian financial institutions, after change in sovereign outlook

08 Nov 2019

Singapore, November 08, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the ratings of the 11 Indian financial institutions below.

(1)

Bank of India (BOI),

(2)

Canara Bank (CAN),

(3)

Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM India),

(4)

HDFC Bank Limited,

(5)

Hero Fincorp Limited,

(8)

Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC),

(9)

State Bank of India (SBI),

(10)

Syndicate Bank (Syndicate) and

(11)

Union Bank of India (UBI).

At the same time, Moody's has revised the outlook of six financial institutions to negative from stable. The affected financial institutions are EXIM India, HDFC Bank, Hero FinCorp, HUDCO, IRFC, and SBI. The rating outlooks for BOI, CAN, OBC, Syndicate and UBI are maintained at stable.

The rating actions follow the affirmation of India's Baa2 sovereign rating, and the change in the outlook to negative from stable on 07 November 2019. For details, please refer to the press release: https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-changes-Indias-outlook-to-negative-from-stable-affirms-Baa2-PR_410439

Separately, Moody's has downgraded the long-term Counterparty Risk Assessment (CR Assessment) and long-term local currency Counterparty Risk Rating (CRR) of HDFC Bank Limited, Bahrain Branch and ICICI Bank Limited, Bahrain Branch to Ba2(cr) from Ba1(cr) and Ba2 from Ba1, to align these ratings with Bahrain's local currency ceilings.

Also for ICICI Bank Bahrain Branch, Moody's has downgraded the long-term foreign currency senior unsecured MTN program rating and subordinate MTN program rating to (P)Ba3 from (P)Ba2, to align these ratings with Bahrain's foreign currency bond ceiling. There are currently no outstanding bonds issued out of the Bahrain branch.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Principal Methodologies

AFFIRMATION OF RATINGS AND CHANGE IN OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE FROM STABLE FOR EXIM India, HDFC Bank, HUDCO, IRFC, and SBI

EXIM India, HUDCO, IRFC, and SBI's final ratings are at the same level as the sovereign rating because of the uplift to their ratings, based on Moody's assumption that these companies will receive government support in times of need. Consequently, if Moody's downgrades the sovereign rating, Moody's will also downgrade these companies' final ratings.

The close links between the four companies and the Government of India is the key reason why Moody's has changed the outlooks for these companies to negative from stable, after doing the same for the sovereign rating.

As for the change in outlook for HDFC Bank, given the strong linkages between a bank's business and the sovereign credit profile, including by way of large direct exposure to government debt and exposure to common underlying operating conditions, the Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) of a bank is capped at the sovereign rating of the country that it operates in. Consequently, for HDFC Bank, Moody's will downgrade the bank's baa2 BCA, if Moody's downgrades India's Baa2 sovereign rating. This situation in turn would lead to a downgrade of HDFC Bank's final ratings and is the key driver of the change in the bank's ratings outlook to negative from stable.

All the inputs into the ratings, including their standalone credit profiles and government support, remain unchanged. Consequently, Moody's has affirmed all five financial institutions' ratings.

AFFIRMATION OF HERO FINCORP'S RATINGS AND CHANGE IN OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE

Hero FinCorp's Baa3 issuer rating incorporates a very high probability of support from its parent, Hero MotoCorp Limited (HMCL) which results in a 3 notch uplift as compared to its standalone assessment of ba3.

Moody's has changed the outlook on Hero FinCorp's ratings to negative from stable to reflect Moody's expectation that the slowdown in the Indian economy may negatively impact the financial strength of HMCL and thereby its ability to support Hero FinCorp.

AFFIRMATION OF RATINGS OF BOI, CAN, OBC, Syndicate AND UBI, OUTLOOK MAINTAINED AT STABLE

Moody's expects that BOI, CAN, OBC, Syndicate and UBI will continue to enjoy a very high level of support from the government. Under these support assumptions, even if the sovereign rating is downgraded by one notch to Baa3, the support uplift should be sufficient to keep the final ratings unchanged at Baa3. This situation is the key driver of Moody's affirmation of the five banks' ratings.

Moody's does not have any particular governance concern for all the issuers impacted by today's rating action. Moody's does not apply any corporate behavior adjustment to the banks and views their risk management framework as consistent and commensurate with their risk appetite.

ASSIGNMENT OF FOREIGN CURRENY CRR TO HDFC BANK AND SBI AND THEIR BRANCHES

In the case of HDFC Bank and its Hong Kong branch, Moody's has assigned foreign currency CRR of Baa1/P- 2, which is at the same level as the banks' respective domestic currency CRR, which Moody's has already assigned.

For SBI and its DIFC Branch, Hong Kong Branch, London Branch and Nassau Branch, Moody's has assigned foreign currency CRR of Baa2/P-2, which is at the same level as the banks' respective domestic currency CRR, which Moody's has already assigned.

In assigning the CRR to the banks, Moody's applies its basic Loss Given Failure (LGF) approach, because Moody's sees India as not having an operational resolution regime. Moody's basic LGF analysis positions CRRs in line with the banks' CR Assessments and one notch above their Adjusted BCAs, prior to government support.

RATING ACTION ON HDFC BANK AND ICICI BANK'S BAHRAIN BRANCH

The rating actions on HDFC Bank's Bahrain Branch and ICICI Bank's Bahrain Branch is solely to align their long-term CR Assessment and long-term local currency CRR with Bahrain's local currency ceilings and does not reflect any deterioration in the standalone assessment or the BCA of the banks.

Also, the downgrade of ICICI Bank Bahrain Branch's long-term foreign currency senior unsecured MTN program rating and subordinate MTN program rating is to align these ratings with Bahrain's foreign currency bond ceiling.

For more details, please see Moody's rating action on Bahrain on 03 August 2018: https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-downgrades-Bahrains-ratings-to-B2-maintains-negative-outlook--PR_387174 and 17 December 2018: https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-changes-outlook-on- Bahrains-rating-to-stable-affirms-B2--PR_392698

Moody's has also assigned a foreign currency CRR of Ba3/NP to HDFC Bank's Bahrain Branch. The foreign currency CRR is capped by Bahrain's foreign currency bond ceiling of Ba3. Moody's has also affirmed HDFC Bank Bahrain Branch's short-term CRA and local currency CRR at NP(cr) and NP respectively.

WITHDRAWAL OF OUTLOOK ON THE ISSUER RATING FOR IRFC

Moody's has withdrawn the outlook on IRFC's foreign currency issuer rating for its own business reasons. Please refer to the Moody's Investors Service's Policy for Withdrawal of Credit Ratings, available on its website, www.moodys.com

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING UP

SBI, HDFC Bank and EXIM India:

Given the negative outlook on the sovereign and bank ratings, SBI, HDFC Bank and EXIM India's ratings are unlikely to be upgraded over the next 12-18 months.

Nevertheless, Moody's could upgrade the BCA of SBI and EXIM India, if these banks demonstrate improvement in their asset quality, supported by recovery in profitability and capital levels, as well as maintaining stable funding and liquidity.

An upgrade of HDFC Bank's BCA is unlikely, because the BCA is already at the same level as the sovereign rating.

BOI, CAN, OBC, Syndicate and UBI:

Given the stable outlook, the ratings of these financial institutions are unlikely to be upgraded over the next 12- 18 months.

Nevertheless, Moody's could upgrade the banks' BCAs if their asset quality improves, supported by the recovery in profitability and capital levels, and if they maintain stable funding and liquidity.

HUDCO and IRFC:

Given the negative outlook, HUDCO's and IRFC's ratings are unlikely to be upgraded over the next 12-18 months.

Nevertheless, Moody's could upgrade HUDCO's BCA, if there is a significant and sustained improvement in its liquidity profile, particularly an increase in excess liquidity on its balance sheet to buffer against potential adverse market conditions.

Hero FinCorp:

Given the negative outlook, Hero FinCorp's ratings are unlikely to be upgraded over the next 12-18 months.

Nevertheless, Moody's could raise Hero FinCorp's standalone assessment if there is (1) a significant and sustained improvement in the company's asset quality, driven by a decline in the formation of new nonperforming loans across different product segments; (2) improved profitability, driven by lower credit costs and increased operating leverage; or (3) an improvement in the company's liquidity, driven by the maintenance of high-quality liquid assets on its balance sheet.

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING DOWN

SBI, HDFC Bank and EXIM India:

Moody's could downgrade the ratings of SBI, HDFC Bank and EXIM India if Moody's downgrades the sovereign rating.

Moody's could downgrade the three banks' BCAs if their financial fundamentals deteriorate significantly.

If all other rating factors are constant, their BCAs would come under pressure, if the banks report significantly increased problem loan ratios or a significant decline in earnings, which leads in turn to weakened capitalization.

Any indication of diminishing government support for the banks could also lead to a downgrade of their ratings.

In the case of HDFC Bank, a downgrade of the sovereign rating will also lead to a downgrade of the bank's BCA, because the BCA is at the same level as the sovereign rating.

CAN, UBI, BOI, OBC and Syndicate:

Moody's could downgrade the BCAs of CAN, UBI, BOI, OBC and Syndicate, if the banks' financial fundamentals deteriorate significantly. If all other rating factors are constant, their BCAs would come under pressure, if the banks report significantly increased problem loan ratios or a significant decline in earnings, which would lead in turn to weakened capitalization.

In the case of UBI and CAN, Moody's could downgrade their BCA and ratings if there is a weakening in their solvency metrics, because of the amalgamation with Corporation Bank and Andhra Bank for UBI, and Syndicate with CAN; scenarios which were announced by the Indian government in August 2019.

Any indication of diminishing government support for the banks could also lead to a downgrade of their ratings. HUDCO and IRFC:

Moody's could downgrade IRFC's ratings if (1) there is a material change in the company's business model such that it significant increases its risk profile, (2) there is a change in the government's supportive stance toward IRFC, or (3) there is a downgrade of the sovereign rating.

For HUDCO, Moody's could downgrade its ratings if Moody's downgrades the company's BCA by more than one notch or downgrades India's sovereign rating. Moody's could downgrade HUDCO's BCA if the entity's share of the government-guaranteed loan book materially reduces from the current levels.

Hero FinCorp:

Moody's could downgrade Hero FinCorp's rating if (1) the company's asset quality or profitability deteriorate, or (2) there is a weakening in Moody's expectation of support from the key shareholder in times of need.
