All revenue streams decline QoQ, ex-Broadband: SCNL reported an 11% QoQ decline in revenue (7% below est.) as all revenue streams declined except broadband. To enforce better monetization and collection efficiency from LCOs, SCNL switched off ~0.4m digital subscribers on a rotational basis. Consequently, subscription revenue declined 9% QoQ to INR1.29b (v/s est. INR1.52b). The impact of the switch-off is estimated to be INR100m-120m. Activation revenue declined QoQ—from INR211m to INR109m in 1QFY16 (v/s est. INR80m) as STB seeding remained muted at ~0.2m, taking the digital subscriber base to 5.58m. Carriage revenue remained largely flat QoQ at INR729m (v/s est. INR650m). Broadband revenue grew 14% QoQ to INR90m. Phase I/II ARPU largely flat; content deals for Phase III tied up: Realizations in Phase I/II have been largely flat at INR100/INR75; the management expects improvement to INR110/INR90 by March 2016. Except Star, all major content deals for Phase III/IV (Zee, Sony, Colors) have been negotiated on a fixed-fee basis. FY16 gross capex guidance of INR10b; net debt at INR11b: During FY16, SCNL is targeting digital cable subscriber addition of 5.5m and broadband addition of 0.2m. Gross capex guidance is ~INR10b (net capex of ~INR5.5b). Current gross/net debt stands at INR13b/INR11b. 99% underlying EBITDA CAGR over FY15-18; maintain Buy: We expect the digital subscriber base to increase from 5.4m in FY15 to 11m in FY18. Increase in net subscription income in the post-digitization scenario should drive ~99% recurring EBITDA CAGR, with EBITDA (ex-activation) expected to improve from ~INR0.8b in FY15 to ~INR6.1b in FY18. SCNL trades at EV/ EBITDA (ex-activation/ minorities) of 29.8x/14.5x/5.9x FY16E/FY17E/FY18E. Our EBITDA estimates are largely unchanged.

SITI Cable Network

Earnings call highlights Subscription revenue: QoQ decline led by switch-off of ~4,00,000 digital

subscribers on a rotational basis to enforce better monetization and collection efficiency from Local Cable Operators (LCOs). Subscription revenue receivables remained flat QoQ. Management expects net ARPU for Phase I/II to increase from INR75/INR100 per month currently to INR90/INR110 by March 2016. Subscription revenue unlikely to decline further going forward.

Cable subscriber additions and activation revenue: Target to reach ~11m digital subscribers by March 2016 vs 5.6m currently. Activation per box at ~INR800 per subscriber during 1QFY16.

Broadband: Target to add ~200,000 broadband subscribers in FY16 taking broadband subscriber base to ~2,75,000 by March 2016. Focusing on delivering high service uptime in this business.

Content cost and phase III/IV deals: Expect ~15% growth in content cost in FY16. Phase I/II content cost at ~INR55-60 per subscriber per month. SITI Cable has already completed negotiations with ZEE, Sony and Colors bouquets for content in phase III/IV cities and deal with Star is expected to close by September 2015. Currently these deals would be on a negotiated fixed fee basis.

Capex: Expect ~INR10b gross capex and ~INR5.5b net capex in FY16 including broadband. Cost per box currently at ~INR1,200 for MPEG 2 and INR1,350 for MPEG 4 boxes.

Debt: Gross debt at ~INR13b (including ~INR9b INR debt); net debt at ~INR11b.
