Pros
- • Hero Fincorp claims to have strategically expanded its product portfolio beyond two-wheeler loans to include a wide range of secured and unsecured loans, catering to both retail and MSME customers. As of FY24, retail and MSME loans accounted for 65.08 percent and 20.80 percent of its total assets under management (AUM).
- • Hero Fincorp claims to benefit from a deep-rooted relationship with Hero MotoCorp Limited, leveraging its brand recognition and extensive dealer network. In FY24, Hero MotoCorp Limited held a 41.19 percent equity stake in Hero Fincorp and provided financing for a significant portion of Hero MotoCorp’s two-wheeler sales.
- • The company claims to have developed a comprehensive, omnichannel distribution network that spans 18,603 pin-codes across India, aided by both digital and physical channels. Hero Fincorp also claims to source a substantial portion of its business through partnerships with 3,612 partners, including used car dealers, digital partners, and direct sales agents (DSAs).
Cons
- • Hero Fincorp sourced Rs 9,581.62 crore (99.04 percent), Rs 8,726.52 crore (99.69 percent), and Rs 8,074.88 crore (99.93 percent) of its two-wheeler loans from Hero MotoCorp Limited’s dealerships in FY24, FY23, and FY22, respectively. Any decline in demand for Hero MotoCorp’s two-wheelers could adversely affect the company’s ability to generate revenue from these loans, thereby impacting its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
- • The company’s retail finance business depends heavily on new-to-credit (NTC) borrowers. They accounted for 8.953.66 crore (26.55 percent) of the company’s total retail AUM in FY24, Rs 8,934.51 crore (34.06 percent) in FY23, and Rs 9,250.4 crore (46.33 percent) in FY22. The lack of credit history makes it difficult to assess these customers’ creditworthiness, which may result in higher default rates. In the event of defaults, recovering these loans, especially unsecured ones, could be challenging, potentially leading to the company’s financial losses.
- • Retail finance, including vehicle, personal, mortgage, and MSME loans, accounted for Rs 44,506.08 crore (85.88 percent) of the company’s total AUM in FY24, Rs 34,713.74 crore (83.14 percent) in FY23, and Rs 26,117.92 crore (79.02 percent) in FY22. Furthermore, as of FY24, 72.20 percent of these loans are extended to customers in the “Aspiring India” segment, who are vulnerable to economic downturns. Any adverse economic developments could reduce loan demand or increase default rates, negatively impacting the company’s financial condition.
