Company Background:

SREI Infrastructure Finance provides financial products and services for infrastructure development and construction. For FY13, consolidated total income stood at Rs. 3,110 crore with PAT of Rs. 263 crore and AUMs of Rs. 33,330 crore, as of 31st March 2013. However, its asset quality deteriorated sharply, with gross NPAs surging to 2.77% from 1.58% of 31st March 2012, and net NPAs nearly doubling to 2.30%, from 1.18% a year ago. Thus, there is considerable stress on the company’s books. For H1FY14, company’s consolidated total income was Rs. 1,591 crore and PAT Rs. 88 crore with AUMs of Rs. 34,754 crore.  

 

Rate of Return:

The highest yield is being offered for 5 years tenure, with yields ranging between 11.75%-11.77% pa for retail investors. 11.77% pa translates into post-tax returns of 8.13%, assuming 30.90 tax rate. This is lower than yields of 12.13% and 12% being offered by Manappuram and Muthoot Finanace for 5 years secured NCDs. Moreover, SREI Infra is not the best placed in the industry coupled with an average rating for the instruments on offer. Thus, even the innovative structure of declining coupon rates every year under Series VII does not look compelling.

 

Thus, preference remains for 20 years tax free bonds with interest of 9.01% for National Housing Bank (NHB) with AAA rating.

 

Recommendation:

The issue is not recommended as the coupon rate is not attractive vis-à-vis other NCD issues also, let alone the tax free PSU bonds.
