Company Background:

SREI Infrastructure Finance provides financial products and services to its about 30,000 customers engaged in infrastructure development and construction. For FY12, consolidated total income stood at Rs. 2,446 crore with PAT of Rs. 123 crore. For Q1FY13, consolidated total income was Rs. 756 crore and PAT Rs. 22 crore. As of 30th June 2012, company had networth of Rs. 3,200 crore, on equity of Rs. 503 crore, leading to BVPS of Rs. 64. Its asset quality indicates gross NPAs of Rs. 110 crore and net NPAs of Rs. 99 crore, translating to net NPAs ratio of 0.78%.  

 

Rate of Return: Not very attractive vis-à-vis offer by other companies on their secured NCDs like Religare and Muthoot, which enjoy credit rating one notch above SREI Infra.

 

Recommendation:

The current NCD issue is not attractive as its effective yields are low, versus other existing options, currently underway. Only positive is that NCDs have a longer tenure of 7 years as against 5-6 years by other issuers. One can give this a miss!
