MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The financial year 2011-12 has witnessed many economic challenges at the
global stage. The year saw stronger economies in the European region such
as France and Germany having to come to the rescue of other European
countries like Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy and Ireland which faced
public debt crises. The US faced a downgrade of its sovereign credit
rating, yet the dollar continued to gain strength amidst mixed signals from
the largest economy of the world. Japan, a victim of natural and man-made
disasters, also saw a disruption in its economy and the Middle East faced a
wave of protests and demonstrations against those in power in the form of
the Arab Spring. At the same time, extensive liquidity infusions from the
European Central bank and the US Federal Reserve did thaw the situation
temporarily, yet there are doubts whether such infusion of liquidity will
solve the structural issues of high debt and slower growth, which is now
more pronounced in the developed economies. Emerging economies too are
beginning to feel the impact of the global slowdown. The World Bank expects
the global GDP to expand by 2.5% in 2012, and accelerate to 3.1% in 2013,
as reported by Reuters.
India too has faced turbulent times in 2011, partly due to international
triggers and partly due to domestic incidents. The Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) followed a tight monetary policy for most of the year in an attempt
to tame stubborn high inflation. Against this backdrop, during FY12, the
RBI increased the repo rate from 6.75% to 8.5% in six tranches and the
reverse repo rate from 5.75% to 7.5%, again in 6 tranches. These rates saw
some respite only at the beginning of FY13 when they were cut by half a
percentage point each. Bank rates were also increased during FY12 and
liquidity was tight in the market almost throughout the year. Reflecting
the slower investment climate, credit growth tapered off to about 17% from
the highs of about 21% witnessed in the previous year. The combination of
rising interest rates, high inflation, and lower investment reflected in
lower industrial output and economic growth. After over two years of
sustained high growth, India`s economic growth rate slowed to less than 7%
in FY12.
However, the sustained efforts of the RBI seemed to pay off towards the end
of calendar 2011 when inflation dipped to 7.5% in December and stayed so
for the rest of the year, from the double digit inflation for the better
part of the earlier two years. The RBI has not yet dropped guard on this
front, yet they are beginning to shift their focus on growth, which is
beginning to slow down and a trend that can no longer be explained away as
statistical aberrations.
The RBI proceeded to reduce interest rates and release liquidity into the
system towards the end of the last FY 12.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) broadly comprise Asset Finance
Companies, Investment Companies, Loan Companies and Infrastructure Finance
Companies. Traditionally, they have played a crucial role in the
development of sectors like transport, infrastructure, equipment leasing
and hire purchase, retail amongst others. NBFCs have also enabled
substantial broad based economic development by financing small business
segments and the economically weaker sections of society besides
facilitating the funding of first-time borrowers.
NBFCs have played a special role in funding MSMEs, which are the backbone
of the Indian economy and contribute almost half of the country`s total
industrial production and generate sizeable employment. In the process,
they have also promoted inclusive development and have provided a major
thrust to the rural and semi-rural sector. In the Twelfth Plan period, the
MSME Ministry has set a growth target of 15% for this segment, which is
currently growing at 12-13% per annum. According to the Ministry, there are
over 6,500 small clusters in the country but 99% of them are in cottage
industry belonging to sectors like coir, handicrafts and handloom. Due to
the fact that this segment of industry is highly unorganised, and in many
cases, deal in parallel economy, funds from banks and alternate source of
capital such as private equity, venture capital and angel funds are not
forthcoming. Beyond government sources of finance, it is the NBFC sector
that supports their initiatives as NBFCs often do customised alternative
credit evaluation methodologies for credit assessment for this sector.
Indeed the RBI has well captured this in one of their reviews as follows:
"In addition to enhancing competition in the financial system, these
institutions play a role in broadening the access of financial services to
the population at large. NBFIs are important financial intermediaries
particularly for the small scale and retail sectors."
Overall, NBFCs across the country offer a range of services including
retail asset backed lending, lending against securities and microfinance.
This segment in the financial sector has been growing considerably over the
past few years. Last but not the least, NBFCs make a sizeable contribution
to the state exchequer.
To infuse more transparency in loans and advances, the RBI, in March 2012
revamped the Fair Practices Code (FPC) to be adopted by NBFCs in their
lending business. The guidelines emphasized on the general principles about
adequate disclosures on the terms and conditions for more transparency,
which we believe will improve the confidence of customers in the services
provided by NBFCs in the long run.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Future Capital Holdings Limited (FCH) provides financial services across a
wide range of consumer and wholesale businesses. As veritable one-stop
financial shop, it offers a comprehensive suite of products and services
that meet all four key financial needs of customers, namely Borrowing,
Protection, Investment and Planning.
Your Company is focusing largely on catering to the MSME segment which we
believe is largely under-banked and under-served in India, and is hence a
large opportunity for your Company. Your Company has the required skill
sets for serving this need, and hence the passion for this area as well.
The largest focus of your Company`s business is to provide financing to
MSMEs, with their residential or commercial property as the collateral.
Your Company is also capitalising on the growing consumption in India. Your
Company seeks to maintain a comprehensive product suite that covers
financing consumer durables like Televisions, Air Conditioners as well as
financing Two-Wheelers. Your Company is structured to meet multiple needs
of customers not only for maximum customer impact, but also for optimal
productivity. Your Company also has a well-established corporate lending
business and has developed its Broking and Wealth Management services to
grow its fee-based income.
Loan Products
The loan book of your Company has grown 64% from Rs. 28.55 billion in FY11
to Rs. 46.70 billion in FY12. What is particularly important to note is
that the share of retail business in the loan book steadily increased from
18% in FY10, to 29% in FY11, to 42% in FY12. Through its extensive branch
network, which increased to 197 branches by end of FY12, FCH has been able
to reach customers across most states and major cities in India. Your
Company plans to grow the retail business and increase its contribution to
the overall loan book in the coming years.
Mortgage Loan has been the biggest contributor in the retail loan book
composition and the product has been growing steadily for the last two
years. The mortgage loan book grew to reach Rs. 15,434 million by the end
of FY12. The composition of the retail loan book as on 31st March 2012 is
given below -
Gold Loan, which was launched in February 2011, grew steadily to produce a
healthy loan book of Rs. 2,343 million by the end of FY12. Through the
extensive branch network, your Company has been able to reach out to Gold
Loan customers in more than 40 cities in India. Your Company is confident
about this product contributing profitably in the coming years.
Utilizing the strong processes, automated credit-scoring solutions and
presence at the dealer stores, your Company also had a steady growth in
consumer durable loan business which has grown to reach a loan book of
Rs.444 million in FY12. Currently, your Company is able to acquire more
than 12,000 customers a month through this product.
Your Company also launched two-wheeler loans during the last financial
year. Considering the growth of the two-wheeler segment and the fact that
this is a segment that has been highly under-served in India, your Company
has chosen this niche area with improved value proposition for the two-
wheeler customers. This business requires relatively high investment in the
initial years as ticket size is small, and it requires high volume of
transactions, but your Company has embarked on building this business as it
is more suited for smaller/medium size companies like ours.
Wealth Management
FCH launched its Private Wealth proposition for customers in April 2011.
Through this vertical, your Company provides its customers access to
financial products and solutions like mutual funds, insurance, structured
products, property services, private equity funds, etc. Additionally, it
provides a unique advisory led approach, backed by incisive research to
deliver holistic wealth management solutions to HNIs. Future Capital
Holding Private Wealth (FCH PW) seeks to deliver results to its clients in
the arena of wealth management by constantly leveraging its strengths. FCH
PW operates out of 10 full service branches across India. It currently has
an experienced sales team of over 70 private wealth managers, advising over
2000 High Networth Clients. The private wealth managers of your Company are
trusted advisors for their client`s personal and business needs backed by a
platform of transparency, product innovation and advisory.
Broking
FCH, through its 100% subsidiary, Future Capital Securities Limited (FCSL)
operates in the retail broking space with a focus on fee based income. FCSL
acquired memberships of various stock exchanges and made its foray into the
Currency Derivatives segment business. Future Capital Commodities Limited
(FCCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of FCSL, acquired memberships of various
commodity exchanges and commenced business in the Commodity Derivatives and
Spot Commodities business. FCSL and FCCL operate out of 19 full service
branches across India and have more than 125 Business Associates across
India to cater to the needs of retail clients for their investments in
Securities, Commodities, Mutual Funds, etc. To provide unparalleled access
and the highest level of convenience to its clients, it has introduced a
one of its kind Trading Platform and an intranet portal, "futuredirect" and
"myfuture", respectively.
Finally, to complete the customer service proposition for alternative
investments, your Company has successfully launched its retail property
broking business.
While FCH has achieved steady growth in the past three years, high levels
of corporate governance, transparency, robust processes and controls
continue to be an integral part of your Company`s policy. Your Company has
consistently maintained good quality of assets and reduced its gross and
net NPAs over the past quarters due to tighter management, a robust credit
check framework and streamlined processes and checks. The gross NPA has
improved from 0.25% in FY11 to 0.08% in FY12 while the net NPA has improved
from 0.06% to 0.00% over the same period.
Particulars Q4- Q1- Q2- Q3- Q4- Q1- Q2- Q3- Q4-
FY10 FY11 FY11 FY11 FY11 FY12 FY12 FY12 FY12
% Gross
NPA 3.73% 2.60% 1.98% 0.27% 0.25% 0.05% 0.03% 0.04% 0.08%
% Net
NPA 1.63% 1.08% 0.85% 0.00% 0.06% 0.00% 0.01% 0.00% 0.00%
Usually, as companies grow in size and maturity, it is expected that the
NPA levels tend to increase and stabilise over time. Yet your Company has
built strong capabilities in credit scoring, cash flow evaluation
techniques and collections. Finally, your Company is structured uniquely
where the functions of sales, credit policy, credit administration, fraud
control, operations and collections are unique and separated from each
other, thereby providing for checks and controls in the process.
Considering the above, even as you Company grows in maturity, we expect the
asset quality to remain high as compared to peer and industry standards.
To support the business growth, your Company has maintained a healthy
capital adequacy. As of 31st March 2012, the capital adequacy ratio of your
Company stands at 18.63% which is much higher than the minimum capital
adequacy requirement required by the RBI.
CARE has upgraded the long term rating of your Company to "CARE AA-"(Double
A minus) from CARE A+ (Single A plus) in the previous financial year. The
upgrade was a result of the review conducted by CARE on the recent
developments including operational and financial performance of your
Company. Brickworks has also provided long term rating of "AA-"(Double A
minus) to your Company in the last financial year. The revised ratings
provided by these rating agencies reflect the confidence that they have
expressed in our stable and top quality management with good track records,
and a strong and proven business model as is evidenced by the growth in
profitability and high quality of assets.
The leadership and guidance of the key management, with their insight and
experience in the fields of industry and finance, has been one of the
fundamental factors driving the growth of your Company in FY12 and will
continue to be a key strength of your Company. Your Company will continue
to grow the retail portfolio as a percentage of the overall loan book which
we believe will provide diversification over a large number of customers
and as a result, it will offer great stability in performance. FCH looks
forward to the steady growth in future as the respective department heads,
including business origination, credit and support functions with their
strengthened teams efficiently implement the strategies.
RESOURCES
During the financial year FY12, the outstanding balance (borrowing) for
your Company was Rs. 43,863 million as of FY12, as compared to Rs. 26,238
million in FY11. As a strategy, your Company raised most of this debt as
long term debt, which was matched with the cash flow of the customers`
repayments. Only 6.78% of your Company`s borrowing was short term, and
overwhelmingly, over 93%, including the equity was long duration
borrowings. This provides excellent cushion for the company for repayments
of its obligations. During the year, your Company successfully managed to
raise Rs. 2,000 million as subordinated debt for the first time. Further,
the borrowings were mostly at floating rates linked with base rates of the
banking system, and the customer repayments too, were linked to the
floating rate, largely insulating the company from interest rate risks.
One of the significant achievements of your Company was that in spite of
the rising interest rate and tough liquidity conditions in the Indian
market, your Company has performed exceptionally well to reduce the margin
of incremental borrowing as compared to the movement of base rates, based
on improved performance of your Company and its financial prospects. Your
Company also increased the number of banking relationships with key public
and private banks in India during the last financial year.

Your Company has adequate systems of internal control which commensurate
with its size and nature of operations. It maintains a system of internal
controls designed to provide a high degree of assurance regarding the

applicable laws and regulations.
The systems in your Company ensure that assets are safeguarded against loss
from unauthorized use. Your Company is in the process of further
strengthening its system controls by implementation of a new robust Loan
Management System.
Your Company has, during the year, established an In-house Internal Audit
Department. The Internal Audit Team, undertakes comprehensive audit of
functional areas and operations of your Company to examine the adequacy of
and compliance with policies, plans and statutory requirements. Significant
audit observations and follow up actions thereon are reported to the Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of
your Company`s internal control environment and monitors the implementation
of audit recommendations.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Your Company has invested in people, processes and technology to mitigate
risks posed by the external environment and by its borrowers. Your Company
does an assessment of cash flow of the borrowers for MSME customers before
lending to them, and for low ticket transactions, it has implemented
statistically valid credit scoring systems that adequately capture the risk
in lending and collections. Regular credit bureau inputs are incorporated
in the credit scoring model and credit analysis process. We ensure that the
underwriting and collection process are well streamlined and managed by
highly competent workforce.
The operations team does an independent due-diligence of the documentation
and books the loans. The operations team presents the PDCs or ECS
instruction of customers, and directly gives the returned cheques to the
collections team for physical collections, if any. The above processes
ensure there is clear segregation of responsibilities, the customer is
appraised by separate teams, and there are checks and balances within the
system.
Your Company implements effective customer engagement and awareness tools
like regular automated SMS, welcome and awareness calling, E-mailers &
follow up letters at regular intervals to keep the customer aware of the
payment cycle.
High quality of customer experience is of critical importance in building a
sustainable customer franchise and FCH recognizes the same. FCH ensures
that high quality of service engagement with its customers through physical
branches and call centre.
FCH has set up elaborate procedures and systems as well as invested in a
strong IT backbone to assist in monitoring of the portfolio on a continuous
basis. Detailed procedures and policies have been established for
underwriting across various product categories, based on the credit profile
of the customer. Since last year, your Company has been continuously
monitoring and realigning its credit policies at regular interval and is
also working very closely with leading credit bureaus in the country to
ensure better credit quality.
The risk management committee reviews and addresses strategy and
portfolio/balance sheet risks arising from credit, liquidity movements and
interest rate movements. Sustained efforts to strengthen the risk framework
and portfolio quality have yielded results. The overall portfolio quality
has improved over time and is stable and healthy. FCH`s Assets-Liability
Committee (ALCO), set-up in line with the guidelines issued by the RBI,
monitors asset-liability mismatches and ensures that there are no material
imbalances or excessive concentration on either side of the balance sheet.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
During FY12, your Company has taken major initiatives to strengthen the
technology and operations framework in order to provide better and faster
service delivery to its customers. It is carrying out the implementation of
"FinnOne", a system by Nucleus Software, which replaces the existing Loan
Management System and results in improvement in data quality, better checks
and controls as well as faster processing capabilities. FinnOne is
considered to be the best Loan Management System in India and is being used
by various leading Banks and Financial Institutions in India and globally.
Your Company is also implementing the Gold Loan Management System by
Gradatim Software which brings more efficiency in processing gold loans.
During the year, your Company has also implemented a new HR management
system, developed eFax System for automating workflow from remote two
wheeler stores and automated calling for verification through Dialler to
speed up workflow.
HUMAN CAPITAL
FCH recognises that people play a critical role in achieving its goals. As
on 31st March, 2012, your Company had a team of 1,123 talented and
experienced employees, providing a wide range of financial services.
The focus for the year was to build platforms and to put in place scalable
processes that would meet the needs of your Company`s growth agenda. To
achieve a good work culture, the people agenda has a 3 pronged strategy -
Driving a performance culture to achieve financial goals, Future Proofing
the franchise to build sustainability and Engagement & Communication to
build commitment.
As a growing Company there are many opportunities available to employees to
contribute and grow, ensuring that motivation is high. Your Company prides
itself on its ability to attract and retain talents at all levels. It
continues to use the Employees Stock Options Scheme (ESOS) and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme (ESPS) to foster a sense of ownership among
employees. While employee engagement is at the heart of everything your
Company does, the learning and development as well as talent management
framework is being strengthened to build the capabilities that are required
for the future.
