Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on HDFC
HDFC's core performance adjusting for onetime gains were slightly above expectations as NII growth was better on back of strong loan growth of 19% YoY from all segments. HDFC booked Rs52.0bn of investment gains from HDFC Life IPO and as a policy provided Rs15.8bn (30% of gains) as contingent provisions helping further strengthen balance sheet. Company also got benefit of tax credit on investment gains and hence had lower tax leading to beat in earnings.
