Broadly in-line results, as higher petchem and retail contribution was offset by weak refining
Standalone EBITDA was 1.6% above our estimate at `148.9 bn, declining 2% qoq as higher
petchem contribution was offset by expectedly weaker refining; net income was 7% above our
estimate though at `88.6 bn, gaining from unanticipated decline in the tax rate to 24.6% from
28.4% in 1QFY19. Consolidated EBITDA and net income were in line with our expectations at
`211.1 bn and `95.2 bn (EPS of `16.1), as higher standalone and retail contribution was offset
by lower-than-expected EBITDA from Jio and sharply lower other income was offset by a lower
tax rate. Jio’s revenues and EBITDA increased 14% qoq to `92.4 bn and `35.7 bn as healthy
net addition to subscriber base (252.3 mn now) was offset by a sharp rise in operating costs.
Further increase in capex (`392 bn), C-WIP (`2.32 tn), net debt (`2.84 tn) and Jio’s BS (`2.89 tn)
Gross capex increased substantially to `392 bn (US$5.6 bn), including `130 bn on standalone,
`160 bn on Jio, ~`10 bn each on retail and shale and ~`80 bn on others, including a strategic
transaction with Saavn. Overall capital-WIP and intangible assets under development increased
to `2.32 tn (US$32 bn), including `1.18 tn (US$16 bn) pertaining to the standalone entity.
Effective net debt increased to `2.84 tn (US$39 bn) from `2.35 tn (US$36 bn) two quarters
ago. Jio’s balance sheet increased to `2.89 tn from `2.54 tn at end-FY2018. RIL also
announced the acquisition of 66% stake in Den Networks for `22.9 bn and 51.3% stake in
Hathway Cable and Datacom for `29.4 bn, which will enable it to expedite the rollout of
JioGigaFiber services.
Fine-tune EPS estimates and raise target price to `1,070 on higher retail value and rollover
We revise RIL’s FY2019-21 consolidated EPS to `67.3 (-3%), `78.4 (+0.5%) and `87.3 (+1%),
factoring in (1) weaker Rupee-US Dollar exchange rate, (2) higher realized petchem margins,
(3) higher retail contribution, (4) modestly lower refining margins, (5) lower Jio contribution and
(5) other minor changes. Our SoTP-based TP increases to `1,070 from `985, led by an increase
in the valuation of retail business and rollover to September 2020 estimates.
Reiterate SELL—expensive on any intrinsic valuation framework
We reiterate SELL given our concerns on persisting high capex, non-contributing C-WIP and
rising debt levels, all of which constrain a sustainable improvement in return ratios and free cash
flows in the medium term. The recent deterioration in refining and petchem margins may
compound woes in the near term. We find the stock expensive at 9.7X FY2020E EBITDA, 14.7X
FY2020E EPS and 2.1X March 2019E BVPS, adequately factoring in a strong medium-term
growth, while ignoring uninspiring return metrics of 8-9% RoCEs, 9-10% CRoCI and 12% RoE.
Reliance Industries (RIL)
Energy
More of the same. RIL’s results were broadly in line with our expectations as higher
contribution from petchem and retail businesses was offset by lower-than-expected
EBITDA from Jio and weakness in the refining segment; reported profits gained from a
sharp moderation in the tax rate. Capex, C-WIP, net debt and Jio’s BS exhibited no sign
of moderation, with all increasing substantially during 1HFY19 contrary to the Street’s
expectations. SELL stays with a revised SoTP-based TP of `1,070 (`985 earlier).

Performance of key business segments
Flat refining EBIT as lower margins were offset by higher throughput and a
weaker Rupee. 2QFY19 refining segment EBIT remained flat sequentially at `53.2 bn led
by (1) sequential decline in refining margins to US$9.5/bbl (-US$1/bbl qoq) and
(2) increase in crude throughput to 17.7 mn tons.
Exhibit 4: Quarterly performance of refining segment, March fiscal year-ends, 1QFY17 onwards
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities
RIL’s premium over Singapore benchmark margins moderated to US$3.4/bbl from US$4.5/bbl in 1QFY19, driven by (1) unplanned shutdown of FCCU, which resulted in lower gasoline production, (2) lower light-heavy differentials due to higher fuel oil spreads and (3) lower gasoline spreads, which were partly offset by the increase in yields of middle distillates, including gasoil.

Further increase in petchem EBIT despite a sharp fall in regional margins. 2QFY19
petchem segment EBIT increased further by 3% qoq to `94.8 bn despite a sharp fall in
Asian benchmark margins for all key products, except PX, PTA and POY.
Exhibit 6: Quarterly performance of petrochemicals segment, March fiscal year-ends, 1QFY17 onwards
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities
The company managed to realize higher margins versus Asian benchmarks due to (1) feedstock flexibility, which allowed RIL to opportunistically switch to low-cost ethane from naphtha amid rising crude prices, (2) lower realized cost of ethane due to favorable hedges, a portion of which may continue up to FY2020 and (3) stronger margins for PX, PTA and POY. The management indicated that the cumulative benefits from these adequately mitigated the decline in margins across all other petchem chain products.

RIL’s polymer production declined 1% qoq to 1.41 mn tons in 2QFY19, reflecting modestly lower polyethylene volumes. Polyester production remained flat qoq at 0.74 mn tons, while fiber intermediates volumes jumped 10% qoq to 2.75 mn tons led by a ramp-up in utilization of PX plant. The company indicated that volumes are unlikely to increase much from here, with all projects running on full capacity now. Domestic demand for polymers and polyesters grew strongly by 7-14% yoy in 2QFY19.
27% qoq growth in retail revenues, excluding Jio and fuel. RIL’s retail segment
delivered 25% qoq jump in revenues to `324 bn, driven by robust growth across product
categories and increase in Jio-related revenues. Revenues, excluding Jio-related recharges
and fuel retailing (CoCo outlets), increased by a significant 147% yoy despite relatively
moderate 30% jump in footfalls indicating near-doubling of average customer spends. EBITDA increased a tad slower by 15% qoq to `13.9 bn reflecting 40 bps moderation in margins to 4.3%; EBIT increased 16% qoq to `12.4 bn led by a 30 bps decline in margins to 3.8%. Retail revenues included (1) 34% from Jio-related recharges and (2) 9% from fuel retailing, both of which are less than 2% EBITDA margins business. The management indicated that EBITDA margins, excluding Jio and fuel business, moderated to 6.3% from 6.8% in 1QFY19. Retail store count increased by 78 to 4,081, while Jio Points increased by 535 to 5,065; retail space increased by 0.9 mn sq. ft to 19.5 mn sq. ft currently.

11.3% qoq to `35.7 bn and `6.8 bn, as higher revenues were partially offset by an
increase in operating costs, interest expense and depreciation and amortization charges. The subscriber base increased by 37 mn (net) to 252.3 mn as on September 30, 2018, in line with our expectations. Operational metrics improved further with a 3% qoq increase in data consumption per user to 11 GB per month and 2% qoq increase in voice consumption per user to 761 minutes per month.
Financial highlights
Lower other income, higher finance cost and lower tax rate. Other income declined
by 30% qoq to `12.5 bn led by lower treasury profits amid rising yields. Consolidated
finance cost jumped 11% qoq to `39.3 bn, despite insignificant impact from forex
movement in the standalone entity due to hedging. DD&A charges increased modestly by
1% qoq to `52.3 bn, primarily reflecting an increase in Jio’s D&A. The effective tax rate
surprisingly moderated to 27.7% from 30.9% in 1QFY19.
Significant addition of `392 bn to gross fixed assets reflecting higher capex. The
company reported `392 bn of addition to gross fixed assets during 2QFY19 including
(1) `160 bn of capital expenditure in Jio, (2) `130 bn in standalone, including ~`50 bn of
capitalization pertaining to forex and interest movement, (3) `11 bn on organized retail,
(4) `10 bn on the US shale assets and (5) remaining `80 bn on others, including the
completion of stake acquisition in Saavn.

capital-WIP and intangible assets under development increased to `2.32 tn (US$32 bn)
from `1.87 tn at end-FY2018. Standalone capital-WIP also increased to `1.18 tn (US$16

Strategic investments in Den and Hathway to accelerate FTTH time-to-market
RIL has announced equity investments (mostly primary) into (1) Den Networks and
(2) Hathway Cable and Datacom Limited. The transaction would involve open offers to the
minority shareholders of the two companies as well to those of (1) GTPL Hathway Limited, a
company jointly controlled by Hathway, and (2) Hathway Bhawani, a subsidiary of Hathway.
Total investment (primary + secondary + open offers) envisaged is just under `79 bn and RIL
would end up with a majority stake of 91.5% in Den Networks and 77.3% in Hathway if
the open offers are fully subscribed.
We note that the investment is not being made by Jio but by six different SPVs 100%
owned and controlled by a wholly-owned step-down subsidiary of RIL. Essentially, just like
the digital assets (apps and content), these equity stakes would be owned by RIL and not Jio.
Jio will sign agreements with the operating entities being acquired for use of their resources
in its FTTH foray.

Den and Hathway are two of the largest cable MSOs in the country with cumulative 24 mn
home passes across 750 cities, 15 mn active cable customers and around 1 mn active cable
broadband subscribers. The acquisition provides RIL access to the 27,000 local cable
operators of both entities combined. We believe getting access to these LCOs was the key
driver of these acquisitions. Last-mile reach to homes in India is still tightly controlled by the
LCOs who can be nuisance value for anyone trying to get into these homes. Jio said as much
when they indirectly indicated ‘accelerated FTTH rollout’ as the strategic driver behind this
acquisition.
We believe these acquisitions would not result in any material capex savings for Jio’s FTTH
rollout, while we do see merit in the accelerated time-to-market argument. Broadcast TV
offering is an important element of Jio’s planned FTTH home solution bouquet. This could
emerge as a bone of contention between Jio, the operating MSO entities and the LCOs at
some point, if Jio’s FTTH offering starts hurting the current cable TV subscription revenue
stream of the MSOs and LCOs. Jio may need to compensate the MSO entities and the LCOs
for this loss, in our view; this will likely lower the profitability of the FTTH business. That’s the
tradeoff to accelerate the time to market, in our view, from a Jio standpoint.
Other updates
Commissioning of petcoke gasifiers remains elusive. The company indicated that
synchronization of petcoke gasifiers with the refinery is taking time and it may require
design and process changes, which are expected to complete by the end of current fiscal
year. The company remained non-committal on specific timelines for the commercial
operation of its petcoke gasification project.
Update on domestic upstream projects. RIL is planning to commence development
drilling activities for new projects in KG D-6 block during 3QFY19. The company
maintained its guidance on first gas production from the R-cluster to start from mid-
CY2020, satellite fields from mid-CY2021 and MJ fields from early-CY2022; we do not
rule out delays from the given timeline due to the slow pace of progress so far.

Key assumptions behind earnings model
Refining. We model FY2019-21 refining margins at US$10.3/bbl, US$11.5/bbl and
US$12.4/bbl, reflecting robust underlying fundamentals due to improving global refining
operating rates from a favorable demand-supply balance.
Exhibit 14: Major assumptions for RIL's refining segment, March fiscal year-ends, 2014-21E (US$/bbl)
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Petchem. We expect petchem sales volumes to increase to 19.6 mn tons by FY2021 from
18.6 mn tons in FY2019, led by a full ramp-up of expansion projects. We estimate
blended petchem EBITDA to increase to US$280/ton in FY2019 from US$244/ton in
FY2018 led by (1) strength in polyesters cycle and (2) further integration benefits from
RIL’s new projects; we assume margins to moderate subsequently to US$265/ton in
FY2020 and US$262/ton in FY2021.

Strong revenue growth but margin below estimates as RM volatility impacts cables segment
Havells reported 2QFY19 EBITDA of `2.6 bn (+2% yoy), which was 10% below our estimates
due to lower-than-expected EBITDA margin. Revenues increased by 23% yoy (in line), which
was driven by (1) 28% yoy growth in erstwhile Havells business (2-year revenue CAGR is
15%) and (2) 8% yoy decline in Lloyd revenues due to demand challenges in the AC
industry.
In terms of segments, revenue growth was driven by (1) 42% yoy growth in the ECD
segment led by market share gains across segments and ramp-up of new categories such as
water purifiers, water heaters, etc., (2) 28% yoy growth in the switchgear segment led by
low base and increased traction in the industrial segment and (3) 35% yoy growth in the
cables segment aided by growth in the industrial segment and price hikes. Lighting revenues
were flat yoy due to negligible EESL revenues versus `450 mn in 2QFY18 (ex-EESL revenues
grew 18% yoy).
EBITDA margin came in at 12% (down 250 bps yoy), which was 130 bps below our
estimates due to (1) 300 bps qoq decline in margins in the cables segment driven by lead-lag
impact of RM volatility (margin would normalize in 2HFY19) and (2) weaker performance of
the Lloyd business. Adjusted PAT at `1.8 bn (+4% yoy) was 9% below our estimates.
Expect the company to deliver 21% EPS CAGR over FY2018-21E
Havells has a well-diversified product portfolio and it has built strong brand and distribution
network over the years, which should enable it to penetrate deeper into existing categories and
expand presence in newer segments. We believe that Havells has the potential to deliver strong
double-digit revenue growth over the medium term. We build in 21% EPS CAGR over FY2018-
21E led by (1) 17% revenue CAGR and (2) 100 bps expansion in EBITDA margin.
Cut FY2019-21E estimates by 2-5%; SELL stays on expensive valuations
We cut our FY2019E EPS estimates to build in weakness in margins in 1HFY19. For FY2020-
21E, we lower our EPS estimates by 2%. While we like the company’s strong franchisee and
premium brand positioning across segments, expensive valuations drive our SELL rating on the
stock. DCF-based TP revised to `490 (`485 earlier) on rollover to September 2020E EPS.

Strong topline performance but cable business margins below expectations.
Havells reported 2QFY19 EBITDA of `2.6 bn (+2% yoy), which was 10% below our
estimates due to decline in margins in the cables segment driven by lead-lag impact of
RM volatility. Revenue growth was strong at 23% yoy led by market share gain across
segments and successful entry into new categories. Havells has built an impressive
franchise, which will help it deliver strong double-digit earnings growth over the
medium term. There is a lot to like in the company, except valuations. SELL stays.

More details on the segmental performance
Revenue growth in the cables and wires segment (+35% yoy) was driven by 20% yoy
volume growth and 13% price increases. Demand is particularly strong in the industrial
cables segment due to the government’s push in the infrastructure segment (rural
electrification, railways, metro, etc.). Low base (revenues up 2% yoy in 2QFY18) also
aided revenue growth in the segment. Contributions margins in the segment declined by
300 bps qoq to 14%. We believe this was driven by immediate price cuts in the market
post recent decline in copper prices (down 7% qoq in rupee terms) while the benefit of
reduction in RM cost will come with a lag of around two months. We expect segmental
contribution margins to improve to 16-17% in 2HFY19.
In the switchgear segment, 28% yoy revenue growth was driven by (1) low base
(revenues down 5% yoy in 2QFY18), (2) increased traction in the industrial switchgear
business due to the company’s increased focus and government focus on electrification,
(3) strong growth in the modular switches segment led by replacement demand and
possibly market share gains and (4) slight improvement in the residential segment. For the
company, the residential segment accounts for 70% of segmental revenues while
contribution of the industrial segment is 30%.
In the electrical consumer durables (ECD) segment, revenues grew by 42% yoy (on base
of 4% yoy growth in 2QFY18), which was driven by (1) continued strong growth in the
premium fans category and market share gains for the company. Havells now has around
15% market in overall fans segment and 40%+ share in premium fans category, (2) strong
growth in water heaters partly due to inventory build-up ahead of winter season. Havells
has become one of the top three players in the water heater category, which is quite
impressive, (3) acceptance of the company’s products in new categories such as air
purifiers and personal grooming products and (4) pickup in demand for home appliances
and market share gains for the company.
In the lighting segment, EESL revenues were only `12 mn in 2QFY19 versus `450 mn in
2QFY18 and around `1.3 bn in FY2018. Ex-EESL revenues for the company grew by 18%
yoy in 2QFY19 led by 30% yoy volume growth. In the EESL segment, we believe that
pricing seems to have come down significantly because of which Havells has not
participated in the bidding process. Due to lower mix of EESL revenues, segmental
contribution margins improved by 260 bps yoy to 29.6%; we note that contribution
margin in EESL business is only 6-7% for the company.
Revenues of Lloyd business declined by 8% yoy and EBITDA margin came down to 3.3%
in the quarter as compared to 7% in 2QFY18 and 8.1% in 1QFY19. Lloyd had a muted
quarter owing to adverse season, channel inventory and forex headwinds. The company
highlighted that industry has not seen price increases despite cost pressures. The
company highlighted that it is continuously working on improving brand perception
(through A&P spend and offering products with advanced features) and expansion of
distribution network (both in terms of higher number of exclusive outlets and greater
presence in large multi-brand outlets), which should drive market share gain over the
medium term. The company is on track to commission its in-house AC manufacturing capacity by end-FY2019 with an initial capacity of 0.6 mn units and overall capex of `3 bn. We believe that this would help the company achieve greater control over product quality, reduce foreign currency exposure, expand product offerings (higher number of SKUs) and should also aid profitability.

Weak quarter—realizations disappoint, energy cost increases after stellar 2QCY18 earnings
ACC’s earnings missed our and consensus estimates—the company reported revenues of `33.6
bn (+10% yoy, -11% qoq), EBITDA of `3.7 bn (+6% yoy, -31% qoq) and net-income of `2.1
bn (+16% yoy, -37% qoq) against our estimate of `34.5 bn, `5.5 bn and `3.3 bn respectively.
Volumes increased 10% yoy to 6.6 mn tons (-10% qoq) and were higher than our estimate of
6.4 mn tons. EBITDA/ton declined 25% qoq to `538/ton (-4% yoy) largely due to a 2% qoq
decline in realizations and higher costs. The company’s 3QCY18 earnings are weak compared
to strong earnings reported in 2QCY18.
Realizations decline 2% qoq in 3QCY18. The earning miss was largely due to lower-than-
expected realizations, which declined 2% qoq to `4,760/ton against our estimate of a
marginal increase. As per our checks, in 3QCY18 cement prices were up in Central and
North region (40% of volumes) but declined in South, West (40% of volumes). We highlight
that ACC’s 2QCY18 realizations increased 5% qoq to `4,840/ton and were higher than
those of peers and our estimate.
Energy cost rises after a decline in 2QCY18. Energy cost increased by 8% qoq to
`1,110/ton in 3QCY18. We note that in 2QCY18, ACC’s fuel cost had declined by 1% qoq
to `1,032/ton (+2% yoy) in contrast to the increase in pet-coke prices, weaker INR/US$. We
believe ACC may have gained from low priced contracts, inventory in 2QCY18. ACC’s total
cost increased 3% qoq to `4,570/ton (+1% yoy) due to high energy costs, other expenses.
We cut our target price to `1,250 (`1,270 earlier) and maintain SELL rating
ACC’s plant operated at 80% utilization in 3QCY18 as volumes increased 10% yoy to 6.6 mn
tons—3Q is a seasonally weak quarter for volumes due to monsoons; plant utilization was close
to 83% for 9MCY18. The company’s cement grinding capacity is 33.5 mtpa and it is not
pursuing any expansion project. We would expect ACC to start investing in growth capex
soon—it is likely that the company’s volume growth may suffer due to capacity constraints.
We cut our realization assumption by 1% for CY2018-2020E and tweak our cost assumptions
resulting in a 1-2% cut in our EBITDA estimate and 4-6% cut in our earnings estimate. This
results in a cut our target price to `1,250 (from `1,270)—we value ACC on 9X EV/EBITDA on
March 2020E financials. We maintain our SELL rating as the stock is expensive at 12XCY2019E
EBITDA.
ACC (ACC)
Cement
A weak quarter—improvements fade. ACC’s earnings were lower than our
estimate—EBITDA declined 31% qoq to `3.7 bn (+6% yoy) as EBITDA/ton shrank 25%
qoq to `538 (-4% yoy). The company reported lower-than-expected realizations (-2%
qoq) and higher energy costs (+8% qoq)—these were two heads that had aided the
strong earnings beat in 2QCY18. We cut our earnings estimate by 4-6% for CY2018-
2020E and target price to `1,250 (from `1,270). We maintain our SELL rating on
expensive valuations—the stock trades at 14X/12X CY2018/2019E EV/EBITDA and
27X/23X earnings.

Changes in our estimate
Exhibit 4 highlights key changes in our estimates.
We raise our volume estimate by 1% to 28.3 mn tons, 29.7 mn tons and 31.2 mn tons for
CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E. We cut our realization assumption by 1% which results
in a 1-3% cut in our EBITDA/ton estimates to `653, `698 and `742 for CY2018E, CY2019E
and CY2020E. Our EBITDA estimate is cut by 0-2% for CY2018-2020E. We estimate EBITDA
of `18.5 bn, `20.7 bn and `23.1 bn for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E. We estimate
EPS of `57.9, `67.4 and `77.9 for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E.
Key result highlights
Volume growth of 10% yoy aided by infrastructure demand. ACC’s volumes
increased 10% yoy to 6.6 mn tons—the company highlighted affordable housing and
infrastructure as demand drivers. RMC volumes increased 12% yoy to 0.7 mn tons. The
company’s plant utilization was 80% during the quarter versus 73% a year ago.
Costs rise due to increase in energy costs. ACC’s operating cost for the quarter
increased by 3% qoq to `4,566/ton (+1% yoy) largely due to an increase in energy costs.
The company’s fuel costs increased by 8% qoq to `1,115/ton (-1% yoy) due to an
increase in pet-coke prices and weaker INR/US$ rate. Exhibit 2 highlights the cost trends
of ACC and Ultratech in 2QCY18, the company’s energy costs declined qoq while peers
reported an increase.

Muted revenue growth due to weak growth from clients outside top-10 bucket
Mindtree reported 2% sequential revenue growth to US$246 mn (2.4% in constant currency).
Revenues from the top client grew 6.2%, while the rest of the top-10 clients grew 4.1%
sequentially. Client metrics were healthy with two additions to US$10 mn bucket. Yet revenues
missed our estimate due to lack of growth from clients outside the top-10 bracket and lack of
replenishment of projects in retail, CPG & manufacturing vertical (-4.2% qoq) due to delay in
decision-making. EBITDA margin increased 130 bps qoq to 15.4% with the entire increase
attributable to rupee depreciation. The impact of promotions and campus hires (60 bps) was
offset by absence of one-off cost in the previous quarter. Net profit of `2.06 bn (+65% yoy)
was 16.2% ahead of our estimate and largely due to `403 mn of forex gain.
Business in a healthy shape; growth from large accounts and deal wins comforting
Even as revenues fell short in the quarter, we retain our FY2019-21E revenue growth estimates.
A few factors lend comfort—(1) TCV of deal wins is tracking up 22% in 1HFY19. Value of
contracts to be executed over the next 12 months has also grown at the same rate, (2) revenue
growth is getting broad-based. Clients beyond the top name and in the 2-10 category have
started growing, (3) improvement in the client bucket with a few added to US$10 mn category,
and (4) the deal pipeline is strong. The management indicated that growth rates in seasonally
weak December quarter will be similar to September quarter.
Cut EPS estimates by 0-3%; performance on track. Maintain ADD rating
We cut FY2019-21E EPS estimate by 0-3% largely due to cut in margin assumption by 20-40 bps
from FY2019-21E. Moderation in margin assumption captures the aggressive talent onboarding
and investments in enterprise re-imagination segment. Core profitability assumption remains
unchanged. We cut our target price to `1,080 (from `1,225) due to mix of EPS moderation and
marginal alignment in multiples. Mindtree can grow at an elevated rate courtesy strength in
digital competencies, strong wins from advisory channel and alignment of portfolio to growth
areas. We remain constructive and retain ADD rating.
Mindtree (MTCL)
Technology
Reality check. Mindtree disappointed with muted constant-currency revenue growth
of 2.4% in a seasonally strong quarter. Growth was strong from top-10 clients but
weak from the rest. Health of the business is in good shape as reflected in growing rate
of deal wins and improvement in client metrics. We retain our revenue growth
estimates but moderate profitability assumption due to higher-than-expected
reinvestment rate. Cut EPS by 0-3% and target price by 12% to `1,080. Mindtree is
well-poised to grow at an elevated rate with measured pace of margin expansion. ADD.

Reinvestments keep margins in check
Mindtree’s gross profit margin declined on a sequential basis despite rupee depreciation.
The margin improvement has been largely due to currency depreciation with little
operational efficiency to show for. We believe this is partly on account of reinvestments in
business. We highlight two specific areas of investments.
Accelerated onboarding of talent. Mindtree continues to hire aggressively and believes
that plenty of high quality talent are keen to join the organization. The company is willing
to onboard high profile quality talent and keep a bench as long as such recruitments can
drive additional projects from clients and accelerate growth further. In effect the
company is recruiting aggressively in anticipation of strong demand. The downside of this
approach is that it leads to increase in cost structure and can impact margins if the
demand was to slow down.
Enterprise re-imagination. Mindtree is developing a new global business from the
ground up under the leadership of Dr Satya Ramaswamy. Dr Ramaswamy developed the
global digital services business in TCS from the ground up over a seven-year period
starting 2010. Creation of this new line of business calls for sustained investments, which
Mindtree is willing to make. The company is also investing in the platforms business.
These initiatives may not have material near-term revenue potential but can create a new
engine of growth over the medium term. Despite these investments, Mindtree’s EBITDA margin will increase over the next two years led by strong growth profile, improvement in fixed-price project execution and operational efficiencies. We forecast EBITDA margin of 15.4%, 16.6% and 16.5% for FY2019E, FY2020E and FY2021E, respectively. However, margin improvement will have its share of quarterly volatility.
Strong deal momentum continues
Deal closures increase further. The company’s TCV of deal wins was US$271 mn in the
September 2018 quarter, a yoy growth of 31%. Deals wins in 1HFY19 grew 22%. We do
note that Mindtree captures all wins (renewals and new) in the TCV; hence the focus should
be on total wins to gauge direction of growth. Mindtree further indicated increasing digital
deal sizes, a positive and shows progress towards the theme of industrialization of digital. Of
the US$271 mn TCV, deals expiring in <1 year in US$198 mn.
Key highlights from earnings call
Margin walk-through. EBITDA margin increased 130 bps sequentially to 15.4% due to
(1) 60 bps headwind from promotions and new campus hires, offset by, (2) 60 bps
tailwind from absence of one-time grant to Stanford University and (3) 130 bps tailwind
from rupee depreciation net of cross-currency movements.
Revenue and margin outlook. Mindtree expects 3QFY19 revenues to be impacted by a
volatile macro-environment and seasonality. The management indicated that 3QFY19
revenue growth rate will be similar to 2QFY19 growth rates based on visibility in the deal
pipeline. The company expects 3QFY19 margins to be slightly better than 2QFY19
margins. FY2019 margins will be better than FY2018 margins excluding the impact of
currency.
Commentary on retail, CPG & manufacturing vertical. Retail, CPG & manufacturing
vertical revenues declined by 4.2% qoq. Management attributed the decline to delay in
deal closure in the US leading to a gap in the deal pipeline following completion of
projects in Europe. Management indicated that the vertical will revert to growth in the
next quarter.
Commentary on margins. Mindtree reported that it did not face headwinds to margins
from price negotiation with customers in light of the recent rupee depreciation. Margin
Mindtree Technology
KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 33
drivers include (1) revenue growth, (2) leverage of pyramid and (3) efficiencies from
automation apart from rationalization of SG&A costs.
Commentary on BFSI vertical. Mindtree has a higher proportion of ‘run the business’
projects among its BFSI clients. The company has not seen a strong pickup for digital in
BFSI unlike other verticals leading to weak growth visibility in the near term.
Travel vertical. Mindtree continues to see good momentum in the vertical. Mindtree
enjoys good domain knowledge and credibility in both airline and hospitality sub-
segments. Projects in the vertical involve cutting edge work on personalization and
related trends in digital, which are in a sweet spot for the company.
Top accounts. Revenue from top client and revenues from top 2-10 clients increased by
6.2% and 4.1% on a sequential basis, respectively. Mindtree expects good growth from
its top 2-10 customers. Management does not expect account-related challenges from its
top 2-10 clients barring one client. Mindtree does not expect pricing pressure from its top
client.
Client metrics. Mindtree added two clients to US$10 mn bucket. Number of clients in
US$25 mn, US$50 mn, US$100 mn buckets remained unchanged.
Digital. Mindtree reported that the average size of digital deals won by the company is
rising. Mindtree is able to win higher proportion of projects involving high levels of
consulting, domain knowledge and technology. Margins in digital business remained flat
in the quarter.
Hiring. Mindtree has hired roughly 600 campus graduates in 1HFY19. The company
expects to hire 800 more campus graduates in 2HFY19 evenly across the next two
quarters. Lateral additions will be based on availability of talent and business needs.
Macro concerns. Based on discussions with clients, management reported that the
prevailing macro situation negatively affected client sentiments leading to delay in signing
of new contracts. Delay in decision-making by clients equally impacted both ‘run’ and
‘digital’ parts of the business.
Dividend. Mindtree board has declared an interim dividend of `3/share for the quarter.

Strong revenue performance but EBITDA miss due to lower profitability in Europe business
Mahindra CIE reported consolidated 3QCY18 EBITDA of `2.6 bn (+24% yoy), which was 12%
below our estimates largely due to lower-than-expected EBITDA margin in the Europe business.
Consolidated PBT came in at `1.86 bn (39% yoy), which was only 5% below our estimates due
to (1) forex gains of `90 mn in Bill Forge Mexico and (2) lower interest expense due to
reduction in debt levels.
New orders wins drive strong revenue growth in India. India revenues grew by 20% yoy
led by (1) 9% yoy production growth of its key customers (M&M and Tata Motors), (2) 3-4%
yoy growth due to price increases taken to pass on the impact of rise in commodity prices
and (3) remaining 7-8% led by market share gains with new customers and market share
gains with existing customers. EBIT/PBT grew by 40%/50% yoy in 3QCY18, respectively.
Strong revenue performance in Europe but profitability disappoints. Revenues increased
by 26% yoy in 3QCY18, which was led by (1) 12% euro appreciation against Indian rupee,
(2) 3-4% due to price increase taken to pass on the impact of higher commodity costs and
(3) 10% due to core revenue growth in euro terms led by new order wins. EBITDA margin
came in at 12.2% (down 30 bps yoy and 200 bps qoq), which was 180 bps below our
estimates due to lower production levels this quarter (extended plant shutdown at some
OEMs) and possibly some pricing pressure due to challenging industry conditions. We expect
EBITDA margin to improve to 13-13.5% going ahead.
Fine-tune earnings estimates; maintain ADD with TP of `280 (from `290)
We cut our CY2018-21E consolidated EPS estimates by 1-2% largely due to 50-90 bps cut in
EBITDA margin assumptions in Europe business. We expect consolidated revenues to grow at
12% CAGR over CY2017-20E driven by new order wins and market share gain in both India
and Europe businesses. In Europe, growth will be particularly driven by strong growth in
Metalcastello and PV businesses, while in India, ramp-up of Bill Forge Mexico facility and growth
in existing customers will be major growth drivers. Maintain ADD; TP revised to `280 (from
`290), valuing the company at 17X September 2020E EPS (from 18X March 2020E EPS earlier).
Mahindra CIE Automotive (MACA)
Automobiles
Decent quarter. Mahindra CIE reported decent 3QCY18 results with 38% yoy PBT
growth, which was 5% below our estimates. Revenues grew by 23% yoy led by new
order wins and market share gains in both India and Europe businesses. EBITDA margin
in Europe was below our estimates due to extended production shutdown by OEMs
and challenging industry conditions. Going ahead, we expect the company to deliver
21% EPS CAGR over CY2017-20E led by (1) double-digit revenue growth aided by share
gains and (2) improvement in profitability. ADD stays; TP revised to `280 (from `290).

Conference call takeaways
Strong demand traction in Bill Forge Mexico and new order wins in India. The
company had highlighted there is strong demand traction in Mexico, which is leading to
new order wins by Bill Forge. The company has added second press in Mexico for a new
customer; production for this customer will start from January 2019. Given the strong
demand environment, the company plans to add third press in Mexico by end-CY2018.
Overall, revenue potential from Mexico would be around US$30 mn in CY2020E.
Capacity utilization of Mexico plant with two presses is 50% currently. Revenues from
Mexico plant were around US$5 mn in CY2017. In India, over the past few quarters, the
company has won new businesses—(1) gears from TBK India, (2) stampings business from
Ashok Leyland and (3) forged crankshaft business from Hyundai.
Strong growth in Europe but profitability below estimates. In the European
business, revenues increased by 26% yoy in 3QCY18, which was driven by (1) 12%
benefit due to euro appreciation against Indian rupee, (2) 3-4% due to price increase
taken to pass on the impact of higher commodity costs and (3) 10% due to core revenue
growth in euro terms. Revenues were marginally impacted by extended shutdown by
OEMs such as Renault, VW, etc. to adjust manufacturing facility to new test norms.
Production has again improved in October, which should aid revenue growth going
ahead. In terms of profitability, EBITDA margin in Europe was 12.2% (down 30 bps yoy
and 200 bps qoq), which was 180 bps below our estimates. The decline in profitability
was driven by lower production levels this quarter and possibly some pricing pressure due
to challenging industry conditions; we expect margins to improve to around 13-13.5%
going ahead.
Strong revenue growth in India business aided by new order wins. For the India
business, revenues increased by 20% yoy in 3QCY18, which was driven by (1) 9% yoy
production growth of its key customers, (2) 3-4% yoy growth due to price increases
taken to pass on the impact of rise in commodity prices and (3) remaining 7-8% led by
market share gains with new customers. These new order wins will continue to drive
market share going ahead as well, as per the management. EBITDA margin in India
business came in at 15.4% (up 100 bps yoy), which was 90 bps below our estimates.
There was a forex loss of `90 mn in Bill Forge Mexico, which positively impacted PBT for
the India business.
Other key points. (1) The Board of Directors has decided to close the Stokes Group
business in the UK; this will be done in a phased manner over the next two years. Stokes
Group accounts for 1.5% of consolidated revenues, EBITDA was largely breakeven while
there was marginal loss at PBT level (1% of consolidated PBT). The company will try to
transfer the business of this entity to India after taking customer approvals, (2) the
company incurred capex of `4.2 bn in 9MCY18 and maintained its capex guidance at 5-
6% of sales over the next few years and (3) consolidated net debt was `7.5 bn, down
from `8 bn as of June 2018.

Healthy revenue growth, strong costs control and lower provisions aid earnings growth
DCB reported 25% yoy earnings growth on the back of 13% yoy NII growth but slower growth
in provisions (5% yoy). Loan growth was solid at 27% yoy while NIM declined ~10 bps qoq to
3.8%. Asset quality was stable qoq with fresh slippages at 1.8% of loans. Operating expense
growth was slower at 11% yoy partly led by a change in the useful life of assets. Non-interest
income growth was at 13% yoy driven by 16% yoy growth in fee income. Growth in CASA at
20% yoy was lower than deposit growth at 27% yoy in 2QFY19. CASA ratio was stable at
24%.
Stable trends on asset quality continue
Overall gross and net NPLs were stable qoq at 1.8% and 0.7% of loans. Slippage at 1.8%of
loans have been broadly stable in recent quarters and the gross NPLs reported in the LAP
portfolio are lower than the industry average, which gives greater comfort to the underwriting
standards of the bank. Most of the underlying trends in other product segment are not
showing any major negative deviations. The impact of GST appears to be negligible.
RoE targets for 4QFY19 look challenging to meet but likely to be closer
Given the performance in 1HFY19, it looks like a challenge for the management to meet its RoE
target of 14% and ~55% cost-income ratio for 4QFY19. NIM would be under pressure for
another quarter and lack of treasury income can result in a marginal miss to this target. While it
is a miss, we are not too worried given that directionally the management is a lot closer to
where it wanted to reach.
Maintain BUY with TP at ₹185 (from `180 earlier)
We value DCB at 1.8X book and 14X September FY2020E EPS (TP at `185 from `180 earlier)
for RoEs at 12-13% in the short term but ~25% CAGR in earnings over FY2018-20E.
DCB Bank (DCBB)
Banks
NIM pressure continues. DCB reported 25% yoy earnings growth led by 13% yoy
revenue growth and 5% yoy growth in provisions. NIM declined ~10 bps qoq to 3.8%
while loan growth was healthy at 27% yoy. Asset quality was stable qoq. Operating cost
growth was slower leading to marginal improvement in cost-income ratio. NIM pressure
continues to act as a key headwind to achieving its RoE target of 14% for 4QFY19E but
overall progress has been consistent and less prone to negative surprises, making us
comfortable to maintain BUY with TP at `185 (from `180 earlier).

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Margin pressure remains as lending yields are still moving downwards
Calculated NIM dropped 10 bps qoq (down 50 bps yoy) led by decline in yields while cost of
funds has remained stable qoq. Cost of deposits increased by 10 bps yoy to 6.6%. Yield on
advances decreased 15 bps qoq to 11% (down ~40 bps yoy). MCLR rates increased by 65
bps in 2QFY19. Increase in competition from other players in the retail space and gradual
shift in product mix to include more of low-yielding mortgage and CV loans have led to yield
compression yoy.
We maintain a negative outlook on NIM in the absence of any change in product mix
though directionally we are less negative than before. Competition, especially from NBFCs,
has slackened in the past month and we do expect this to result in an improvement in
pricing power for the existing players.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 47
We expect NIM to drop by ~50 bps from FY2018-21E. NIM continues to drop from peak
levels of 4%. Pressure on NIM would result from – (1) shift in loan mix to include more retail
assets like vehicle and mortgage loans where competition from other banks and NBFCs is
relatively high, (2) stable rather than any improvement in CASA ratio in medium term and
(3) focus on building retail deposit franchise (currently at 75% of deposits; up 100 bps qoq)
in the medium term may result in deposit costs being relatively inelastic in comparison to the
loan yields.
Asset quality stable qoq; NPLs in the LAP portfolio stable qoq
Headline gross NPL ratio remained stable at 1.8% of loans in 2QFY19 whereas net NPL ratio
was flat qoq at 0.7%. On absolute basis GNPL increased ~2.3% qoq. Reported provision
coverage ratio (including technical write-off) inched upwards by 80 bps qoq to 77%. The
bank maintains relatively high coverage ratio compared to its peers.
Slippages saw marginal improvement for the quarter at 1.8% of loans. Recoveries and
upgrades remain strong at 1.3% in 2QFY19 (1.3% in 1QFY19 and 1.2% in 2QFY18). This
hint at directional shift in asset mix focusing on consumers whose tendency of default is
high but chances of recovering bad loans are also high as compared to corporate NPLs.
Impact of GST has been negligible as the asset quality continues to hold up well in all
segments, including MSME.
NPLs in the core mortgage portfolio remained high but stable qoq at 1.7%. Corporate GNPL
inched up by 30 bps qoq to 2.8%, a trend similar to previous quarters. CV/CE loan GNPL
saw significant improvement in 2QFY19 (down 40 bps qoq and 200 bps yoy). This segment
continued to see drop in GNPL over the past few quarters. SME GNPL was flat qoq at 1.4%.
We build in 1.6%-2% slippages and 60-70 bps credit cost over FY2019-21E.

Loan growth maintains momentum at ~27% yoy
Loan growth was strong at 27% yoy in 2QFY19. Loan growth has maintained robust pace
over the past four quarters recording >25% yoy growth. The sharp spike in loans was led by
CV and SME segments. Corporate loan growth maintained an upward trajectory growing
12% yoy though it is not a key focus area for the bank. CV/CE loans jumped 1.5X yoy (up
15% qoq) in 2QFY19. This has been driven by positive sentiment in the sector and a gradual
increase in focus of the bank towards increasing retail asset mix. Mortgage loan growth
remains healthy at 21% yoy, broadly similar to that observed over the past few quarters.
SME/MSME growth saw a spike at 27% yoy. This segment remains a major area for growth
going ahead. However, corporate loan growth momentum declined to 12% yoy growth
(48% in 1QFY19). This point towards the shifting focus of management towards retail
segments and management has guided for restricting the corporate book growth at around
~15% in the medium term.
We expect overall loan growth to remain above the industry average, closer to ~24% CAGR
from FY2018-21E. However, there might be a shift in product mix with increasing share of
CV and SMSE loans while mortgage loans may see a slight dip.

CASA ratio remains stable at ~24%
CASA ratio was stable qoq at ~24% in 2QFY19 (down 160 bps yoy). While growth in total
deposits was strong at 27% yoy, it was relatively modest at 19% yoy for CASA reflecting
the increased focus on term deposits to improve overall branch productivity. Retail deposits
comprise about 75% of total deposits (up 30 bps qoq).
We expect similar CASA growth going ahead. Our forecast is 21% CAGR growth in total
deposits and 23% CAGR growth in CASA from FY2018-21E.

Focus on cost efficiencies continues; cost-income ratio improves
Cost-to-income ratio decreased ~140 bps qoq to 59% (similar decline yoy) in 2QFY19. Cost-
income ratio has remained high in the range of 55-60% over the past two years as the bank
had aggressively opened branches. Operating expenses growth at 10% yoy was lower than
that observed over the past few quarters as the bank has changed assumption regarding
change in useful life of the assets. Employee expenses grew 20% yoy as the bank is
probably increasing its capacity within each branch to reflect increase in business
opportunity. The bank has slowed down branch expansion and is focusing on improving
productivity of existing branches in order to gain cost efficiencies.
We expect cost-income ratio of ~53-58% in FY2019-21E. We forecast around ~13% CAGR
in operating cost in FY2018-21E as we build in about 100 additional branches till FY2021E
compared to 120 new additions during FY2016-18. Higher pressure on NIM is slowly
emerging as key headwind for improvement in cost-income ratio. The bank would need to
cut back operating expenses growth in FY2019 to achieve its medium term RoEs of 12% for
4QFY19E.

Other highlights for the quarter
Non-interest income remained stable qoq at `740 mn (up 13% yoy). Fee income
increased 16% yoy while sharp drop in treasury gains continue to be driven down by
increase in mark to market losses. We forecast ~20% CAGR growth in non-interest
income in FY2018-21E led by sharp growth in fee income.
Capital adequacy ratio stood at 15.6% with tier-1 at 12%. Growth in RWA at 18% yoy

Event— RIL to acquire majority stake and operating control in Hathway and Den
RIL has announced equity investments in Den and Hathway. This transaction triggers open
offers in Den, Hathway and GTPL Hathway (37% associate of Hathway). Total investment
(primary + secondary + open offers) envisaged is about Rs78 bn and RIL would end up with a
majority stake of 91.5% in Den and 77.3% in Hathway if the open offers are fully subscribed
to.
Implication #1: Expect acceleration in TV-to-OTT shift; Jio can cross 15 mn FTTH subs in 3 years
These acquisitions would provide Jio access to 24 mn cable subscribers (Hathway + Den + GTPL)
and 1.2 mn broadband subscribers. We expect Jio to roll FTTH broadband + IPTV services in the
top 100 cities in the next 2-3 years. About 16 mn of these 24 mn cable homes are in the top
100 cities. We expect Jio to add another 4 mn cable homes by attracting competition’s LCOs
and/or acquisition of 1-2 regional MSOs. Jio can potentially cross 15 mn FTTH subs in 3 years
assuming (1) FTTH+ITPV offering is priced at about Rs500/month, (1) 50-55% penetration in 20
mn cable homes, and (2) churn of 4-5 mn subs to Jio from DTH (20-25% of 20 mn DTH subs).
Implication #2: Broadcasters’ subscription revenue growth likely to decelerate
We expect pressure on broadcasters’ subscription revenues due to (1) churn of 4-5 mn DTH
subs to Jio over the next 3 years. Broadcasters earn Rs35-40/sub (content fees net of carriage)
from cable as against Rs75-85 from DTH, (2) efficient content sourcing by Jio given scale of 24
mn subs, (3) rise in competitive intensity would put pressure on P&L of incumbent distributors
compelling them to aggressively negotiate content deals. Broadcasters’ subscription revenues
could be impacted by Rs7.6 bn in FY2021E (about 6.6% impact) (Exhibit 1). We do not expect
TRAI’s tariff order to shield broadcasters from the shift of bargaining power to distributors (at
the margin). Given Zee’s network strength, we see a modest 3% risk to its domestic
subscription revenues (about Rs500 mn and 50 bps impact on FY2021E EBITDA and EBITDA
margin). Weaker/smaller players such as Sony, Sun and news channels could be impacted more.
We note that Jio’s smart set-top box would carry Netflix and Prime video apps (add-on services)
that would compete with TV content for watch time and wallet share in subscription.
Implication #3: DTH—impact on subscriber and ARPU growth is inevitable
We believe it would be difficult for DTH to compete against Jio’s bundled services. If we assume
Jio to offer FTTH broadband + IPTV at Rs500/month (or slightly higher), it would be very difficult
for a DTH player to retain its subscribers especially households paying more than Rs300/month
for Pay-TV. We expect Tata Sky to be most impacted followed by Airtel DTH given their strength
in urban markets. Dish TV is relatively better off as about 70-75% of its subscriber base is in
rural markets where Jio may not rollout for now. Even as we do not see material subscriber loss
of ARPU pressure on Dish TV, some impact is inevitable as competitive intensity will eventually
spread to rural from urban. More importantly, there is a risk of Jio acquiring regional MSOs and
selectively rolling out in smaller markets in the medium term. We cut EBITDA by 5-10% and
revise TP to Rs70 (from Rs90) valuing it at 6.5X FY2020E EV/EBITDA as against 7.5X earlier.

India
Jio set to disrupt TV distribution. RIL’s acquisition of Hathway and Den paves the
way for the accelerated rollout of Jio’s FTTH broadband + IPTV. Jio can potentially add
15 mn FTTH subs in the next three years. Key implications: (1) acceleration in TV-to-OTT
shift led by proliferation of ultra-high-speed fixed-line internet, (2) deceleration in
broadcasters’ subscription revenue growth due to consolidation of distributors, ARPU-
dilutive churn of subs to Jio from DTH, (3) risk to subscriber and ARPU growth of DTH in
urban markets. We cut Dish TV’s FY2020-21E EBITDA by 5-10% and TP to Rs70 (from
Rs90); ADD.

Further thoughts on Jio’s FTTH— strategy, challenges and implications
Acquisitions indicate Jio’s sense of urgency to rollout FTTH. We believe Jio’s initial
plan was to grow its FTTH + IPTV business through the organic route even if it took time.
It was keen on direct ownership of customers and hence it had refrained from acquiring
cable MSOs. Acquisitions of Hathway and Den against that backdrop indicate (1) a sense
of urgency to rollout FTTH and achieve scale, (2) preparedness to work along with LCOs.
This would lower profitability of FTTH business, a tradeoff to accelerate the time to
market, in our view.
Key to success would be an agreement with LCOs on ownership of last-mile infra
and billing. We believe Jio would like to (1) control billing and collection, and (2) replace
LCOs’ last-mile co-axial cable with its own fibre. The key challenge would be to get LCOs
to agree to these terms. At present, LCOs are apprehensive and wary as they fear gradual
loss of control over last-mile under Jio’s regime. Jio may have to sign long-term contracts
with LCOs assuring protection of their economic interests to bring them on board.
We expect phased rollout in the top 100 cities in the next three years. Even as
these acquisitions have given Jio access to 24 mn cable subscribers across 750 cities, we
believe FTTH rollout in the first phase (say next 2-3 years) to be limited to top 100 cities
(or even fewer cities). We expect Jio to discard most of the existing network and last-mile
infrastructure of Hathway/Den and upgrade the same. This would take time. While Jio
has already invested substantially in the backbone fibre infrastructure, a lot more work is
required. For instance, Jio will have to work with thousands of LCOs to replace the last-
mile coaxial cable with fibre. We also believe that the demand for Jio’s FTTH services (at
the price point at which Jio may offer) would not be material outside the top 100 cities.
Thus, we do not see a business case for rollout in all 750 cities for now.
Jio’s operating costs could be in the range of Rs425-450/month/subscriber. The
involvement of LCOs and MSOs would potentially increase Jio’s operating cost by
Rs175/month/sub assuming it protects their economic interests (LCOs’ share could be
Rs125-150/month/sub and MSOs’ EBITDA could be Rs25-50/month/sub). Other costs
would be (1) content cost net of carriage/placement of Rs30-35/month/sub for top-100
cities (marginally lower than that paid by Den/Hathway at present), (2) GST of Rs75
@18% on Rs500 pack (gross tariff), (3) SG&A and bandwidth costs of Rs150/sub/month
or so. Thus, we expect Jio’s operating costs to be in the range of Rs425-450/month.
Base FTTH+IPTV bundle could be priced at about Rs500/month; HD services could
become default while Netflix and Prime video would be add-ons. We expect Jio to
offer high-speed FTTH broadband internet + IPTV bundle for Rs500 (inclusive of taxes) to
drive penetration. Further, the company may have to offer consumer premise equipment
CPE (cable modem + smart set-top box) against a refundable deposit or monthly EMIs.
We note that the cost of CPE is around Rs4,500, a bit prohibitive in view of the scale that
Jio is eyeing. We expect Jio to bear the cost of last-mile cable upgrades and installation of
about Rs1,500/sub. We believe Jio could make HD as a default offering and offer Netflix
and Prime video subscriptions as add-on services.
Expect further consolidation in the distribution space. Jio has urged other MSOs and
LCOs to join them. We expect it to churn away several LCOs from their existing MSOs.
Additionally, we would not be surprised if Jio acquires a few regional cable companies
such as Fastway (Punjab), Asianet cable (Kerala) and perhaps Ortel (Odisha). We also do
not rule out a merger between Tata Sky and Bharti Airtel in view of the current
competitive intensity. Revenues of these companies could potentially decline a bit led by
some subscriber loss and significant pressure on ARPUs especially in case of high-ARPU
subscribers in urban markets.

Limited clarity on economics of Hathway/Den going forward. We note that the
investment is not being made by Jio but by six different SPVs 100% owned and
controlled by a 100% step-down subsidiary of RIL. Jio will sign agreements with the
operating entities being acquired for the use of their resources in its FTTH foray. As we do
not expect Jio to use the infrastructure of Hathway/Den (we believe the key objective of
this acquisition is to inherit LCO relationships), we do not expect any material value
creation in Hathway/Den. However, we would wait for disclosures on commercial
agreements between Hathway/Den and RIL/Jio.
IPTV would accelerate shift to appointment-based viewing from Linear-TV. As per
our understanding, Jio would offer IPTV services along with FTTH broadband. Its smart
set-top box would carry several OTT apps such as Netflix, Prime video, YouTube and
possibly Hotstar, ZEE5, JioTV etc. We expect consumption trends to change significantly
at least in these Jio FTTH households.
Key to watch out Jio’s content/carriage deals to better assess long-term
subscription revenue outlook for broadcasters
We note that Jio’s telecom network supports 55-60% of wireless traffic on OTT platforms
today. With about 15 mn FTTH households, it would have 30% share in Pay-TV distribution
in the top-100 cities. More importantly, these households would be among the country’s
top 10% in terms of purchasing power. Additionally, Jio would also have 15 mn+ cable
households outside of top 100 cities. It would be interesting to see if Jio does
content/carriage deals at an aggregate level for mobile + FTTH + cable subs.
We believe Jio can single-handedly influence medium-term domestic subscription
revenue growth outlook of broadcasters. For instance, Jio would have the power to
upsell services such HD to drive ARPU growth or it can choose to make HD services a default
offering without charging more. The latter strategy allows it to be more competitive versus
incumbents and gain subscriber share. While this strategy is good for Jio and consumers, it
would put pressure on existing ARPUs and hurts the ability of distributors to pay for content
(at the margin). Given RIL’s aspiration of 50 mn FTTH homes, we believe its pricing would be
on the lower side. Expect pressure on industry ARPUs.
We note that Jio is presently paying broadcasters either on fixed fee basis or on per
subscriber basis for Live-TV channels on JioTV for its mobile customers. This is an additive
revenue stream for broadcasters in addition to Pay-TV subscription revenues; essentially
broadcasters are getting subscription revenues for digital as well as TV medium even as the
content and consumers are same. It will be interesting to see if this arrangement continues
in the long term with Jio having a dominant share in both mediums.
Transaction details
RIL has announced equity investments (mostly primary) into (a) Den Networks and (b)
Hathway Cable and Datacom Limited. The transaction would involve open offers to the
minority shareholders of the two companies as well to those of (a) GTPL Hathway, a
company jointly controlled by Hathway, and (b) Hathway Bhawani, a subsidiary of Hathway.
Total investment (primary + secondary + open offers) envisaged is just under Rs79 bn and
RIL would end up with a majority stake of 91.5% in Den Networks and 77.3% in Hathway if
the open offers are fully subscribed to.
Den and Hathway (including 37% associate company, GTPL) are two of the largest cable
MSOs in the country with 24 mn combined cable subscribers across 750 cities and around
1.2 mn combined active cable broadband subs. The acquisition provides RIL access to the
two entities’ combined 27,000 local cable operators. We believe getting access to these
LCOs was the key driver of these acquisitions. Last-mile reach to homes in India is still tightly
controlled by the LCOs who can be nuisance value for anyone trying to get into these
homes. R-Jio said as much when they indirectly indicated ‘accelerated FTTH rollout’ as the
strategic driver behind this acquisition.

Earnings highlights – revenues a tad ahead, EBITDA below, capex way above
R-Jio reported revenues of `92.4 bn (+13.9% qoq, +50.3% yoy), 1.6% ahead of our expected
`91 bn. The revenue surprise was driven by a marginal surprise on both end-period subs count
(252.3 mn versus 251.3 mn expected) and ARPU (`131.7 versus `130 expected). EBITDA of
`35.7 bn (+13.5% qoq, +148% yoy), however, missed our estimate of `38 bn by 6%. PAT of
`6.8 bn was 25% below our expectations on account of EBITDA miss as well as higher-than-
expected net finance cost. Depreciation, once again, increased only 6.4% qoq versus a 20%
qoq growth in data traffic.
From an estimate build-out standpoint, we are making progress in capturing the revenue
rhythm but are still nowhere close to understanding the drivers of capex or movement in costs.
High capex and the sharp spike in sequential network opex, for example, surprised us.
Jio likely to be #1 in net wireless revenues in India as early as 3QFY19
We expect Bharti’s net India wireless revenues (reported gross wireless revenues less estimated
gross interconnect revenues) to be around `87-88 bn for 2QFY19. Jio’s reported revenues of
`92.4 bn are net of IC revenues as the company adjusts IC revenues in the IC costs line. If Bharti
does not report a material beat on our estimated wireless revenues for the quarter, Jio has
perhaps crossed Bharti on net India wireless revenues to become #2 after Idea-Voda. If the
current trends continue, Jio will likely become #1 on net revenues as early as 3QFY19E.
Operating metrics – acceleration in subscriber growth without much ARPU sacrifice
Jio’s reported net adds of 37 mn for 2QFY19 marks a material acceleration in the net adds
trend. The company attributed the same to (a) excellent response to its Monsoon Hungama
(MH) offer for JioPhone, and (b) acceleration in overall smartphone additions for the market.
More important, JioPhone-led acceleration in net adds has not meant any material dilution in
ARPU for Jio (down a modest 2% qoq to `131.7/sub/month).
Data traffic for the quarter grew 20% qoq and 104% yoy to 7.71 bn GB; data usage per sub
increased 3.2% qoq and 14.3% yoy to 11 GB/month. Voice traffic grew 19% qoq and 117%
yoy to 534 bn minutes as MOU/sub jumped further to 761 min/sub/month. Adjusted for a
substantial (15-20%, per Jio’s explanation of low VLR ratio) data-only subs base, adjusted MOU
per active voice sub could be as high as 900 min/month!
Balance sheet expands to `2.9 tn (+`354 bn versus end-Mar 2018 levels)
Jio’s capex continues to stay high with the company spending another `160 bn in 2Q taking
total 1H capex to `320 bn; we note that RCOM deals on towers, fiber and spectrum haven’t
closed yet and this number does not include the same. Net debt expanded to `1.72 tn from
`1.42 tn at end-Mar 2019. RIL is open to infusing further equity into Jio.

R-Jio 2QFY19: ahead of Bharti on net wireless revenues? R-Jio may well have crossed
Bharti in net wireless revenues in 2QFY19, having come within 15% of Idea-Voda,
according to our rough math. R-Jio’s 2QFY19 earnings print was a mixed bag with
revenues marginally ahead but EBITDA and PAT materially below our estimates. ARPU
seems to be settling in the `130/month zone with no meaningful dilutive impact of
JioPhone additions. Balance sheet expansion (to `2.9 tn) continues to surprise. Net debt
at end-Sep 2018 stood at `1.72 bn, up `300 bn from end-FY2018 levels.

Strategic investments in Den and Hathway to accelerate FTTH time-to-market
RIL has announced equity investments (mostly primary) into (a) Den Networks and
(b) Hathway Cable and Datacom Limited. The transaction would involve open offers to the
minority shareholders of the two companies as well to those of (a) GTPL Hathway Limited, a
company jointly controlled by Hathway, and (b) Hathway Bhawani, a subsidiary of Hathway.
Total investment (primary + secondary + open offers) envisaged is just under `79 bn and RIL
would end up with a majority stake of 91.5% in Den Networks and 77.3% in Hathway if
the open offers are fully subscribed.
We note that the investment is not being made by R-Jio but by six different SPVs that are
100% owned and controlled by a 100% step-down subsidiary of RIL. Essentially, just like
the digital assets (apps and content), these equity stakes would be owned by RIL and not
R-Jio. R-Jio will sign agreements with the operating entities being acquired for use of their
resources in its FTTH foray.
Den and Hathway (including its associate company, GTPL Hathway) are two of the largest
cable MSOs in the country with 24 mn combined cable homes across 750 cities and around
1.2 mn combined active cable broadband subs. These acquisitions provide RIL access to
27,000 local cable operators. We believe getting access to these LCOs was the key driver of
these acquisitions. Last-mile reach to homes in India is still tightly controlled by LCOs who
can be nuisance value for anyone trying to get into these homes. R-Jio said as much when
they indirectly indicated ‘accelerated FTTH rollout’ as the strategic driver behind this
acquisition.
We believe these acquisitions would not result in any material capex savings for R-Jio’s FTTH
rollout; we do see merit in the accelerated time-to-market argument. Broadcast TV offering
is an important element of R-Jio’s planned FTTH home solution bouquet; this could emerge
as a bone of contention between R-Jio, the operating MSO entities, and the LCOs at some
point if R-Jio’s FTTH offering starts hurting the current cable TV subscription revenue stream
of the MSOs and LCOs. R-Jio may need to compensate the MSO entities and the LCOs for
this loss, in our view; this will likely lower the profitability of the FTTH business. That’s the
tradeoff to accelerate the time-to-market, in our view, from an R-Jio standpoint.
Other key takeaways from the analyst meet
Jio maintained that its primary focus remains net adds and it sees no reason to tinker with
pricing at this point.
On network rollout, the company indicated that it is now covering nearly 96% of the
country’s population and should achieve its targeted 99% pop coverage by end-Mar
2019. Jio expects wireless capex to moderate after this but also suggested that overall
capex intensity could stay high as wireline (FTTH) capex kicks in.
Jio indicated strong response to the Monsoon Hungama exchange offer for JioPhone
while emphasizing that the momentum for non-exchange JioPhones also remains healthy.
On the content front, the company continues to sign new partnerships and highlighted
the one with Star for Indian cricket and the one with Disney as the key ones signed
during the quarter.
The company does see potential ban on Aadhaar-based e-KYC as something that can
result in a temporary slowdown in the pace of net adds for the company. Jio is working
on alternatives and believes the impact would only be temporary.
Media convergence nodes buyout from RCOM is largely complete; Jio has paid around
55% of the total consideration of `20 bn. Other transactions (towers, fibre, spectrum) are
still pending.
