Summary of JM Financial's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated: Feb 25
Management Outlook:
JM Financial's management remains optimistic about growth across core businesses, emphasizing strategic pivots toward syndication, fee-based services, and expansion in retail-focused segments. The company is prioritizing balance sheet strength, with reduced debt (down 25% YoY) and increased cash reserves (INR5,840 crores). Key growth drivers include investment banking (strong ECM/M&A pipeline), wealth management (17% YoY AUM growth), mutual funds (3x AUM growth), and affordable housing (33% YoY AUM growth). The real estate book is largely provisioned (93% coverage), with resolutions expected over the next 2-3 years. Syndication and AIF-led real estate financing are seen as future growth areas.
Major Points:
Management expects sustained momentum in capital markets, private credit, and retail segments, with profitability to scale as investments mature.
Last updated: Feb 25
Question 1: What caused the decline in investment banking (IB) revenue? Were regulatory actions a factor? How has market share been impacted?
The decline in IB revenue is due to reduced financing activity (part of the old segment reporting) as the loan book decreased by ~45% over 9 months. Regulatory action (SEBI order in March 2024) initially impacted equity deals due to misinterpretation, but SEBI clarified it applied only to debt IPOs, resolving ambiguities. JM Financial maintained ~15-20% market share in capital markets and ranked #1 in QIPs for 2024. The pipeline remains robust, with strong DRHP filings and cross-selling opportunities across wealth, syndication, and advisory.
Question 2: Why are NPAs in the wholesale real estate book stable despite high provisioning? Are write-offs anticipated?
Provisions increased to 93% coverage (from 54% in March 2024) as the loan book reduced (~45% decline), making NPAs appear larger proportionally. Provisions aim to preemptively cover residual risks as the book winds down. Write-offs were largely completed earlier; recoveries are expected over 2-3 years. Security coverage (1.3-1.4x post write-offs) supports optimism, with potential write-backs if resolutions accelerate.
Question 3: How is the affordable home loan business performing? What is the BT rate impact and sell-down process?
Affordable housing AUM grew 33% YoY to Rs.2,600 crore, with 128 branches. BT rates are 1% monthly (down from 1.5%). Sell-downs follow a 90-10 risk-sharing model, requiring buyer approval for rate changes. The business is scaling profitably, supported by a Rs.780 crore net worth.
Question 4: What is the outlook for real estate credit demand amid rising inventory? How is JM Financial maintaining developer relationships?
Demand for land/approval finance remains strong, but NBFCs cannot lend post-RBI norms. JM is transitioning to an AIF model (awaiting approval) for land financing, leveraging existing developer relationships. Larger players dominate market share; inventory concerns are tempered by strong economic growth.
Question 5: What is the status of ARC recoveries and future strategy?
ARC recoveries (Rs.1,129 crore in Q3) are lumpy but structured to minimize balance sheet risk. JM will focus on syndication (partnering with funds, holding 2.5-15% stakes) and retail NPA resolution. No new corporate turnaround risks will be taken.
Question 6: How will excess cash (Rs.5,840 crore) be utilized?
Cash will fund business expansion (syndication, wealth, broking), with ~Rs.3,000 crore earmarked for syndication and loan books. Dividends/buybacks are possible post-Credit Solutions acquisition (pending RBI approval).
Question 7: How is the wealth management business scaling amid market volatility?
Wealth AUM grew 17% YoY to Rs.1.1 lakh crore. Talent acquisition is prioritized to capture market share. Recurring revenue (fee-based) is rising, though near-term profitability may lag due to expansion costs.
Question 8: What is the growth trajectory for AMC, wealth, and syndication businesses?
AMC targets breakeven at Rs.20,000-25,000 crore equity AUM (current: Rs.13,800 crore). Wealth focuses on talent and geographic expansion. Syndication aims for 13-14% unlevered yields on a Rs.3,000 crore book.
Question 9: Are there risks in the margin financing book amid small-cap volatility?
Margin financing (Rs.2,100 crore, 38% YoY growth) is diversified across 7,000+ clients, with exposure limited to BSE 500 stocks. No systemic risks are observed.
Question 10: How is talent retention managed amid industry competition?
JM proactively recruits from top universities and lateral hires, expanding teams in IB, equities, and wealth. Investments in junior talent and cross-training mitigate attrition risks, ensuring scalability.
