DEALER’S COMMENTS

Stocks of power sector, telecom and private sector banks led gains

for the benchmark equity indices. A likely boost to consumption

demand from increase in salaries and payment of arrears to

government employees due to the implementation of the 7th Pay

Commission recommendations, gains in global markets and short

covering aided the upmove. Market breadth was strong. BSE Mid-

Cap index outperformed the Sensex while BSE Small-Cap index

underperformed the Sensex. Among BSE sectoral indices, realty

gained the most followed by power, consumer durables and

infrastructure. India VIX advanced 0.83% to 16.2900. On the NSE, 89

shares rose to fresh 52 week high while 15 fell to new 52 week low.

Indian Media & Entertainment Sector OUTLOOK: POSITIVE

Over The Top (OTT)

Initiating Coverage Indian Television industry is at the cusp of digital revolution. Digitization is expected to play a key role in how content would

be consumed as well as how content is transmitted. On analysis, we believe the key themes impacting the television industry

are: (1) Emergence of Digital advertising is certainly a threat, but only on a longer term timeframe in the television industry,

(2) Over The Top (OTT) content applications are for certain exciting and promising, 3Ps in programming, Pricing and

Payment infrastructure would shape the growth of the OTT market in India, (3) Given the consumption opportunity in India

across FMCG and discretionary categories, advertisement growth from these sectors would continue driving advertisement

income for the television Industry, (4) Regional markets which boast of higher than national per capita income have become

the consumption companies’ key markets, thereby driving broadcasters to regional markets, (5) Television was not the most

effective medium for reaching out to rural audience, however this has changed with new Broadcast Audience Research

Council (BARC) data, growth of DD dish and digitization into rural markets, (6) Except for a few pockets, Digitization of

network to track the last mile user is progressing stealthily. Though a few litigations have temporarily halted the progress of

digitization in certain pockets, it is inevitable that the entire user base will be digitized but probably extending beyond the

stipulated December 31, 2016 deadline. (7) With several vertical holdings present across media houses, few Distribution

Platform Operators (DPO’s) complain of discriminatory pricing at wholesale level; Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India

(TRAI) has floated a consultation paper, and recommendations by TRAI on the pricing format is for sure set to have a bearing

across all the players in the industry.

Zee Entertainment Enterprise Limted (ZEEL) – Zealous Pursuit

We initiate coverage on Zee Entertainment Enterprise Limited (ZEEL) with a ‘BUY’ rating (TP: Rs. 510) on the back of revenues and

earnings CAGR assumptions of ~17% and ~25% respectively from FY16 –FY18 led by (1) ~19% advertisement revenue CAGR as

viewership across Hindi & Regional markets gain traction, (2) Mid teens growth in subscription revenues as broadcasters are expected

to get a larger share of subscription income, (3) Content cost rationalisation as new channel investments begin to pay off, (4) EBITDA

margin expansion on the back of lower business promotion and marketing expenses, (5) Established strong Over The Top (OTT)

platforms which should enable them to take advantage of rise in digital spends

Sun TV – Cloudy Skies Clearing

We initiate coverage on Sun TV with a ‘BUY’ rating (TP: Rs.433) as we believe revenues and earnings would grow at a CAGR of

~13% and ~17% respectively from FY16 –FY18 led by (1) Sun TV consolidating its market leadership in the lucrative Tamil market, (2)

Improving viewership traction in Telugu and Kannada market, (3) Cost savings arising from increased number of dubbed serials, (4)

Further reduction in Cable & Satellite (C&S) costs of movies, (5) Heightened subscription revenues on the back of digitization gaining

momentum in 3 of the 4 southern states and (6) Radio business improving its mileage

Dish TV – High Definition leverage play

We initiate coverage on Dish TV with a ‘BUY’ rating (TP: Rs.122) on the back of revenues and earnings CAGR assumptions of ~13%

and ~36% respectively from FY16 –FY18 led by (1) Increase in net subscriber base as digitization coverage extends to phase 4 cities,

where Direct To Home (DTH) operators are expected to gain higher traction Vs digital cable, (2) Dish TV anticipated to gain higher

share among DTH players led by its distinguished rural presence, higher number of channels and High Definition (HD) channels,

attractive bouquet packaging and superior technology (3) Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) increasing by ~2% led by price

increases and increasing traction for HD channels, (4) Improved EBITDA margins arising out of operating leverage that emerges out of

fixed fee content costs and other operating expenses (6) Lower Interest expenses with majority of debt being repaid over the next two

years.

#2 – Content holders to be the king as OTT platforms gains acceptance

Video has been the fastest growing segment among digital spends… …leading to several content owners launching OTT services

However the challenge would be to transform users from ‘YouTube’

Given that Indian consumer has got used to streaming videos for free in ‘YouTube’, we believe it would be difficult to convince consumers to

shift to Subscription based model until differentiated and exclusive content is offered.

have a combination of these two models going

forward,“ - Uday Sodhi, Multi Screen Media

FMCG advertisements have been a key driver to television advertisement growth…

products on an average among top 10 advertisements every week

Further, a good retail market has also fueled several regional

advertisers, who strongly bank on these regional channels to carry

Inclusion of rural market data by BARC India in its TV viewership

is a large audience being catered by DD Free Dish

The Operator recently added 50 new channels on the new MPEG 4

technology after moving its transponder to GSAT-15 satellite.

Star has developed its own software known as Adsharp, while other third

Small and regional based advertisers may have an advantage to target

For addressable systems, the channels or bouquets are required to be offered at 42% of

the corresponding rates applicable for non addressable systems.

The composition of bouquets offered in addressable systems shall be the same as offered

for non addressable systems.

Broadcasters have to offer all its channels on a-la-carte basis. In addition, the broadcaster

may offer bouquet of channels, subject to the following TWIN conditions

− The sum of the a-la-carte rate of pay channels forming part of such bouquet shall in no

case exceed 1.5 times of the rate of that bouquet of which such pay channels are a part.

− The a-la-carte rate of each pay channel shall in no case exceed 3 times the average rate

of a pay channel of that bouquet.

Niche channel like HD/ advertisement free channels are under price forbearance. However,

twin conditions are applicable, if niche channels are offered as part of bouquets.

Every broadcaster is required to report the a-la-carte and bouquet rate fixed by it to TRAI

and shall also publish such rates on its website. Any change in the rate has to be reported

at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of change.

If the broadcaster intends to convert a free to air channel into pay channel then it should

inform to TRAI, at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of such conversion.

At present the retail tariff in addressable system for both FTA and Pay channels is under

price forbearance i.e. the DPOs are free to decide their price as per market conditions.

All broadcast TV channels (FTA and Pay) are mandated to be provided to customers on a-

la-carte basis so that customers can choose any channel. The DPOs are free to form

bouquet of channels and price them.

If the DPOs provide broadcast TV channels as bouquet(s), the bouquet price is linked to a-

la-carte rate of the channels forming part of the bouquet to check unrealistic variations

between bouquet price and a-la-carte price. The revised tariff order has been issued and

will be applicable from 01.04.2016.

It is mandated by the Government that public broadcasting service channels as notified

from time-to-time must be carried by the DPOs and be delivered to the subscribers

irrespective of whether the subscriber subscribes to any a-la-carte channel(s) or bouquet(s)

or both.

A Basic Service Tier (BST) comprising of 100 FTA channels at Rs. 100 plus taxes is

mandated to be provided.

In case of FTA channels, it is mandated that the price of FTA channels be uniform.

It is open to the DPOs to specify a minimum monthly subscription limit of not exceeding Rs.

Indian Media & Entertainment Sector OUTLOOK: POSITIVE

#6 –Broadcasters & DTH players to gain the most in next phase of digitization

Most broadcasters have recommended a price forbearance + regulatory pricing cap model

Regulating price caps only

for the mass genres of entertainment (Hindi

and regional), movies (Hindi and regional) and

sports genres. wholesale price forbearance

for all other genres like English entertainment

and movies, lifestyle, kids, other genres, HD

and upcoming 4K, 3D and virtual reality. It has

also proposed to cap the wholesale discounts

at 33%.

While calling for the total

abolition of carriage fee in digital addressable

system (DAS) areas, the NBA has proposed that

TRAI should regulate it in non-DAS areas. The

association has submitted that till such time that

DAS is fully implemented, the price cap should

be between 50 paisa and one rupee per set-top

box (STB) on carriage fee payable by

broadcasters to DPOs.

They have also proposed that

the broadcasters will have to offer HD and SD

channels as part of separate bouquets.

Broadcasters are to offer maximum 50%

discount on a la carte rates and bouquet rates

under different schemes offered to DPOs on

non-discriminatory basis including but not limited

to (i) the number of channels subscribed by

DPOs, (ii) reach of the channels/placement of

the channels on packages formed by DPOs, (iii)

placement of the channels on particular LCN,

etc.

TRAI should fix genre-wise tariff

ceiling of a la carte channels based on the

maximum existing tariffs of a la carte

channels. The maximum existing tariffs of a la

carte channels needs to be considered as a

broadcaster would offer discounts on such price.

Such ceiling shall be subject to inflation-based

increase or annual increase of 5%, whichever is

higher.

Broadcasters should be allowed to

execute mutual agreements based on details

provided in the RIO, Sony said in its response

to TRAI. This, in effect, will take best note of

transparency and non-discrimination issues

raised by TRAI. It also suggested that

broadcasters should be allowed to have

flexibility to price their channels within the

limits prescribed by TRAI.

The broadcaster has proposed that the

prices of the mass genre would be regulated

by TRAI through stipulation of RIO methodology

and prices for the niche channel would be

under forbearance. It has also proposed that

the cumulative discount on the listed wholesale

price because of various parameters should not

exceed 40%. Like Star, ZEEL has suggested

that the carriage fee/placement fee/marketing

fee should be subsumed in the

discounting/incentive scheme and no separate

payment would be made for the same.

#6 –Broadcasters & DTH players to gain the most in next phase of digitization

Recommendations across DTH players though not in cognizance with each suggesting a model that suits them the best

It has proposed that the

regulated RIO model must provide the flexibility

to the broadcasters and distributors of TV

channels to enter into fixed-fee arrangements.

TRAI should have the power to conduct audit of

all the stakeholders so as to verify the

compliance of the regulations by the said

stakeholders.

Provision of carriage fee, marketing fee,

placement fee and packaging fee should be

regulated, made transparent and uniform for all

DPOs without discriminating against the DTH

operators.

Videocon d2h submitted that

the wholesale pricing of both SD and HD

channels should be regulated to ensure that

DPOs could offer reasonable a la carte rates to

subscribers. The regulated RIO should be

adopted looking at existing and historical

commercial deals between broadcasters and

DPOs.

Tata Sky submitted that TRAI

should do away with the price cap on

wholesale price and continue forbearance

on retail pricing. The existing regulations to

ensure non-discriminatory access, including a

‘must carry’ obligation, are enough to check

discrimination in offering content. Further, it

stated that there are sufficient laws that already

provide safeguards against monopolies.

Carriage/placement fees should not be

regulated and the regulator should allow

market forces to decide on the same. It noted

that placement fee is a common place in many

industries.

The RIO rate of bouquets

formed by the DPO from the channels of a

broadcaster should be as per the existing twin

conditions at the wholesale level. The price

forbearance model would be suitable at the

retail level in the broadcasting sector.

As an alternative to the cost-

based model, Sun Direct said that the

regulated RIO model would be in the best

interest of the industry, as it would provide

flexibility to the broadcasters to price their

channels within the prescribed price caps while

controlling risk of exorbitantly high price due to

their monopolistic behaviour. It further

submitted that there should be further

rationalisation of tariff for DTH operators to

ensure a level playing field between DTH

operators and MSOs.

Airtel Digital TV argued that a

cost-based model would allow for an effective

recovery of the seller’s costs with a reasonable

margin. This makes the broadcasters’ business

viable as costs and returns are accounted for.

Further, it constrains the ability of broadcaster

to charge monopolistic price (i.e. an

unwarranted price premium) as the price must

be aligned to the cost base. This protects

consumer interests and prevents over-charging

Attempt to lay down a ceiling on carriage or

placement will only result in market distortions

and may lead to covert or disguised deals,

which will be difficult to regulate.

Initiating Coverage We initiate coverage on Zee Entertainment Enterprise Limited (ZEEL) with a ‘BUY’ rating on the back of revenues and

earnings CAGR assumptions of ~17% and ~25% respectively from FY16 –FY18 led by (1) ~19% advertisement revenue

CAGR as viewership across Hindi & Regional markets gain traction, (2) Mid teens growth in subscription revenues as

broadcasters are expected to get a larger share of subscription income, (3) Content cost rationalisation as new channel

investments begin to pay off, (4) EBITDA margin expansion on the back of lower business promotion and marketing

expenses, (5) Established strong Over The Top (OTT) platforms which should enable them to take advantage of rise in

digital spends.

ZEEL, a pioneer of the Indian Media and Entertainment (M&E) sector has through the last 23 years not only established

itself as one of the largest media conglomerates in the country but has also been one of the most profitable. This approach

of foresightedness coupled with conservatism is what sets ZEEL apart from several other broadcasters. With a bouquet of

~32 domestic channels spread across the country, we firmly believe ZEEL is currently the best proxy play on Indian M&E

sector. Further, a healthy balance sheet, consistent dividend pay-out, repute promoters and steady free cash flow growth

further increases our comfort on stock. Target Price of Rs.510 (30x FY18e EPS )

• To outperform industry advertisement growth: With a wide and established presence across several languages, we

believe ZEEL should comfortably report ~19% growth over FY16-18, newly introduced channels are also expected to

contribute to increase in advertisement share.

• Subscription revenues to be in mid teens: With broadcasters expected to get a larger pie of digitization revenues in

near term, subscription revenues should inadvertently increase for ZEEL too, however we remain conservative in our

numbers as we understand that several negotiations with Distributor Platform Operators (DPO’s) are put on hold in

anticipation of the new pricing announcement from the regulators.

• Cost rationalisation with channels maturing: With the launch of ~13 channels over the past 3 years, ZEEL had to

forego its margins to invest and promote these new channels, however with these channels having established certain

mileage, savings in content costs and Advertisement & Publicity costs to accrue in near term.

• Exciting digital prospects: Though ZEEL’s digital investments do not contribute much to revenues, we believe these

are essentials as consumer tastes and preference evolve.

• Risks & Concerns: Increase in competitive intensity, Reduction of advertisement outlay by FMCG and discretionary

companies, adverse pricing contracts in newly formulated pricing order and lack of turnaround of the sports business

ZEEL proposal on the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRAI)

wholesale pricing model consultation

The broadcaster has proposed that the prices of the mass genre

would be regulated by TRAI through stipulation of RIO methodology

and prices for the niche channel would be under forbearance. It

has also proposed that the cumulative discount on the listed

wholesale price because of various parameters should not exceed

40%. Like Star, ZEEL has suggested that the carriage fee/placement

fee/marketing fee should be subsumed in the discounting/incentive

scheme and no separate payment would be made for the same.

Any adverse recommendation by TRAI could be detrimental to how we have projected for subscription

Initiating Coverage We initiate coverage on Sun TV with a ‘BUY’ rating as we believe revenues and earnings would grow at a CAGR of ~13%

and ~17% respectively from FY16 –FY18 led by (1) Sun TV consolidating its market leadership in the lucrative Tamil

market, (2) Improving viewership traction in Telugu and Kannada market, (3) Cost savings arising from increased number

of dubbed serials, (4) Further reduction in Cable & Satellite (C&S) costs of movies, (5) Heightened subscription revenues

on the back of digitization gaining momentum in 3 of the 4 southern states and (6) Radio business improving its mileage.

Though Sun TV has been incessantly trying to shackle off the political image being attached to it, we certainly cannot

ignore the favourability they would enjoy in case the Dravida Munetra Kazhagam (DMK) party reigns supremacy in Tamil

Nadu (TN). With opposition in power over the past 6 years in the state, Sun TV had to tweak several business practices

and alter its business model to be as much apolitical as possible. Despite several challenges emerging over broadcasting

distribution and movie buying over the past few years, Sun TV continues to dominate Tamil television market indicating its

strong connect with consumers. Standoff on digitization prevails in Tamil Nadu, however subscription revenues from other

three states are promising as Phase 4 digitization roll out commences. Strong balance sheet, Robust cash flows, healthy

dividend payout policy further augurs well from an investment angle. We believe negatives are priced in and with ‘cloudy

sky’ for sure clearing, we value the stock at 14x FY18E with a TP of Rs. 433.

Advertising revenue traction to improve: Sun TV enjoys a fanatical patronage among consumers in TN, which makes

Sun TV the most profitable and cost effective medium for content producers and advertisers respectively. In other three

southern markets though Sun TV has certainly ceded its dominant position to national broadcasters by not innovating

and faulty program choices. With Sun TV realising the same, the channel has hired a new set of team and improved its

content, which is beginning to reflect in improved ratings. Venture into dubbed serials and conversion to commission

based programming to rein costs in near to medium term. With the industry having rationalised that high cost movies

does not make economic sense, cost of movie C&S rights have considerably dropped over past few years

Subscription revenues to show non-linear growth: With ~20mn households to be converted into digital over the three

states excluding Tamil Nadu, Sun TV DTH subscription revenues should grow ~17-18%. Digitaization in TN continues

to be in a tiff with I&B ministry not granting DAS licence to the state run MSO, Arasu Cable.

Risks & Concerns: Business risks include Network18’s entry into Tamil GEC market, continued underperformance in

Telugu and Kannada market, slowdown in phase 4 digitization implementation and continuing losses from Indian

premier League franchisee. Stock price risks - any announcement on the court cases pending against the promoters.

BUY Advertising revenues– Enviable Moat in Tamil

Business challenges prevail – Sun TV well equipped to change game plan to suit changing needs

DUBBED Serial

Sun TV have for the first time since its inception has launch dubbed

serials in the flagship channel - Naagini (Weekday at 10pm) and Jai

Hanuman (Sunday at 10am)

We understand from industry sources that management is currently on a

test mode, wanting to understand viewership acceptance for dubbed

serials.

Superior technology, richer content and properties and differentiated

offerings have led to the success of dubbed content in Tamil

On the cost part we understand that Dubbed serials cost Rs.20-30

thousand per episode against original content that costs up to ~150-200

thousand per episode. Though cost metrics work in favor we would be

closely monitoring the impacts it has on the brand image of Sun TV.

POLITICAL IMPACT

Though Sun TV for sure is set to enjoy favorable political courtship if

DMK is in power, we note that the business has managed to sustain and

grow even in adverse political climates.

With ADMK government revitalizing the once defunct Arasu cable, Sun

TV subscription revenues have been impacted. We understand that Sun

TV has sacrificed its subscription revenues to protest its viewership

share thereby advertising income.

We observed that several LCO’s despite being linked with the State run

MSO, Arasu Cable had set up individual dish to obtain and provide Sun

TV signals at their expense as consumers demanded Sun TV.

Though not apolitical and aligned towards DMK, Sun TV has exhibited

its resilience even during adverse political environments.

BARC

Though ratings largely stabilized over time, we understand from industry

participants that larger rural population in the sample survey and

reclassification of SEC standards has benefitted Sun TV viewership

share

Sun TV along with its movie channel KTV continues to command market

dominating leadership in BARC ratings ever since its inception.

BARC ratings currently has 1.94bn gross impressions in Tamil Nadu

with GEC commanding ~1.4bn impressions, Movies -0.36bn

impressions and news -0.06bn impressions.

Of the total market, rural commands ~47% share while Metro markets

command ~20% share.

Of the total Tamil viewership, 7% comes from outside Tamil nadu

12 MINUTE AD CAP RULE

Despite the 12 minute Advertisement capping rule imposed by TRAI IN

2013, we notice that Sun TV has been a repeated offender of breaching

that rule every quarter ever since.

Though Effective Rate (ER) was increased to counter the loss in

volumes, we understand that incessant rate hike is impossible beyond

the prevailing inflation rates, especially given that consumption economy

remains subdued.

Recent events, including comments from I&B minister has though led to

better sentiment with the management and believes the Delhi high court

ruling would be in their favor.

Sun TV as per TRAI report for quarter ending March 31st, Sun TV on an

average runs ~17 minutes of advertisement per hour.

BUY Movie buying cost to significantly come down

We firmly believe that Sun TV has enough movie titles running without having to splurge in excess except for the big occasion days movies, 6

days of fiction further reduces the need for movies

Total Number of Movies in

a year (~200)

Super Hits

(~18-20%)

Other movies

(~160-180 movies)

Break-evens

(~30-40 movies)

Big hero movies and offbeat low

budget movies which exceed

market expectations. Average Cost

– Rs.40-70mn

Given the cheaper cost of

conversion into digital, several small

time producers have emerged

banking on movie story. Average

Cost – Rs.0.5mn – 2mn

These movies are generally bought

out post their performance in box-

office. Average Cost – Rs.10-15mn

Sun TV continues to buy ~50-60%

of these super hits relying on star

value and box office performance

Several producers try selling out

movies at sunk cost given that Sun

TV telecast gives the movie some

kind second viewership.

Sun TV through its marketing

muscle buyout a few of these

movies to keep its movie database

running.

BUY Subscription income to increase exponentially

Any positive solution over Tamil Nadu C&S market digitization could lead to non-linearity in subscription revenues

…however analog revenues to prevail because of the situation in

Tamil Nadu

Subscription growth to be fueled by digitization in 3 states other than

in Tamil Nadu… Domestic subscription contribution to increase…

Arasu Cable & Rest

With Arasu cable becoming active as an Multi System operator (MSO)

since 2011, Sun TV cable subscription revenues have been severely

majorly on account of political vendetta.

We understand that Sun currently gets only Rs.~300mn annually from

Arasu cable as subscription revenues.

Arasu cable continues to operate as an analogue network, as permission

for a state run operator to become an MSO in the Digitally Addressable

System (DAS) is prohibited.

The AIADMK government as part of its 2016 state election manifesto

had indicated to provide set-top box free for every home, however

ambiguity prevails over its ability to obtain digital license.

With Enforcement Directorate cases against Mr.Kalanidhi Maran pending, any adverse ruling could see near term

impact on stock prices.

Though industry sources do indicate that viewership in Kannada and Telugu markets have improved significantly

for SUN, intense competitive scenario could once again pressurise viewership share

Though Sun has manged to get ruling in its favour with regards to participation in Radio auctions, any adverse

ruling could impact Radio business revenues and profitability.

Tamil Nadu (TN) continues to be the only state where digitization has not at all progressed given the state

government network’s inability to get DAS license, We have not factored for income from digitization in TN

Star Vijay has been indicating for quite sometime regarding launching a flanking channel to cater to the rural

audience in TN. Though no announcement is yet made, it could impact SUN viewership share

With industry sources indicating that Network18 is looking to enter into Tamil GEC market, competitive intensity

might increase given that Network18 has cracked the Telugu and Kannada market successfully.

Being a grand nephew of the Dravida Munetra Kazhagam (DMK) patriarch Mr.Karunanidhi, Sun TV had enjoyed several

favourable business practices when the DMK government has been in power over the state. Though the party was seen as a

political mouthpiece to the DMK party, Sun TV since a family feud in 2013 has began portraying itself as a political neutral

channel. Promoter’s brother, Mr.Dayanidhi Maran was an elected Member Of Parliament (MP) under the DMK party ticket and

served as telecommunication minister from 2004-2007 and then served as a textile minister from 2009-11.

Aircel: Maxis Case – Enforcement Directorate (ED) – Summons have been issued against the Promoter, Mr. Kalanithi Maran.

lines, which were used commercially for his family-run Sun TV network, at his residence.

Initiating Coverage We initiate coverage on Dish TV with a ‘BUY’ rating on the back of revenues and earnings CAGR assumptions of ~13% and

~36% respectively from FY16 –FY18 led by (1) Increase in net subscriber base as digitization coverage extends to phase 4

cities, where Direct To Home (DTH) operators are expected to gain higher traction Vs digital cable, (2) Dish TV anticipated

to gain higher share among DTH players led by its distinguished rural presence, higher number of channels and High

Definition (HD) channels, attractive bouquet packaging and superior technology (3) Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)

increasing by ~2% led by price increases and increasing traction for HD channels, (4) Improved EBITDA margins arising out

of operating leverage that emerges out of fixed fee content costs and other operating expenses (6) Lower Interest expenses

with majority of debt being repaid over the next two years.

Dish TV, a pioneer of DTH industry in India like every other successful media company has constantly innovated in terms of

product offerings and pricing which has enabled them to maintain their market leadership despite entry of several other

strong players in the DTH market. Operational achievements were also visible on financial performance, as the company

went on to become the first DTH player to become FCF positive in FY12. Exhibition of consistent financial performance in

the few years along with management’s confidence in being able to wipe out all the accumulated losses over the next two

years, makes us believe that it is the right time to enter into Dish TV to make the most out of the digitization drive. We value

the stock on a DCF basis with a TP: Rs. 113 (Implied PE of 25x FY18E EPS)

Dish TV best positioned to tap into Phase 4 digitization: Fragmented markets, capital intensity and lack of large Multi

System Operators (MSOs) in phase 4 towns to act in favour of DTH players. Dish TV further to be the significant player in

these markets given their Value For Money (VFM) packs and positioning and their technical superiority. ARPU growth

however to be ~2% only as increasing number of consumers in phase 4 expected to adversely impact product mix,

increase in LED television screens (if an indicator) should propel growth of HD set top boxes.

Operating leverage and financial de-leveraging to improve profitability: With revenues expected to grow ~13% over the

next two years, fixed content costs, technical costs and marketing expenses to enable EBITDA margins expanding

~170bps to ~35.2% by FY18E. Further a debt settlement of ~7.5bn over the next two years expected to halve the current

interest outgo. Depreciation charged over the Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) also to marginally reduce as prices

of CPE are on a downward trend.

Risks & Concerns: Given that boxes are imported and there is buyer’s credit being offered in USD, Dish TV is exposed to

currency risks and hedging costs. Advent of Reliance Jio, its plans and impacts on Distribution Platform Operators (DPOs)

to be a key near term monitorable. Delay in phase 4 implementation and Dish TV losing share are other risks

BUY Dish TV – Risks & Concerns

Delay in digitization

Intensifying

competition

Reliance JIO MSO

operations

Increasing cost of

Consumer Premises

Equipment

Rupee Weakening

We understand that Dish TV has recommended Fixed fee to be the basis for finalising deal between DPOs

and Broadcasters to Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India (TRAI), any adverse ruling could result in rise

in content cost.

Adverse ruling from

TRAI on tariff

regulations

Higher License fee

outgo ruling

Dish TV is currently providing for ~7% of its sales as license fees on the ruling stipulated by the courts,

any increase could impact license fee outgo.

Though prices have been on the declining trend, Dish TV relies majorly on single vendor in Handan

Broadinfocom Co of South Korea for majority of its supplies, any adverse pricing action could pressurise

cash flow

Given that set top boxes are imported and often a buyers credit is being provided to supplier to ensure

continuous supply of set top boxes, weakening of Rupee could result in significant forex loss despite

hedging.

Given the DTH market players have become fairly mature, we anticipate minimal disruptive competitive

intensity from the incumbent players.

With Reliance having obtained license to operate as a digital cable operator, pressure from Reliance JIO

in the form digital cable is expected to intensify, success of achieving last mile connectivity to be litmus

test for JIO

Though we have anticipated a one year delay in the implementation of digitization in phase 4 cities,

further than anticipated delay for on ground implementation could result in subscriber addition being

lower

Digital mediums certainly seem to be scoring better on ‘efficiency’ metrics given the superior methods to reach out to targeted audience,

however television advertisements still seem to be the preferred channel over ‘effectiveness’ metric.

UltraTech Cement published its FY16 annual report and we present below the key takeaways:

Grey Cement Volumes and realisations: UTCEM’s grey cement volumes grew by 7% y-o-y to 48mt, implying capacity

utilisation of 75%. Volume growth is led by capacity expansion and pick up in government infra expenditure amidst tepid

real estate market. Realisations/t de-grew by 2% y-o-y led by sharp price fall in North and West markets in 2HFY16.

Other segments (White cement, wall putty and RMC) and Overseas operations: UTCEM’s white cement and wall putty

volume grew 7% vs 5% last year led largely by wall putty performance. UltraTech Cement Middle East subsidiary grew

profit by 24% to Rs1.1bn (contributing 5% to consol revenue) led by higher capacity utilization of more than 100% (116% in

Q4FY16) and contained cost inflation.

Cost inflation: UTCEM’s total cost/t declined 3% y-o-y vs. five year CAGR of 10% led by lower energy and freight cost.

Overall power and fuel cost/t declined 16% on account of softening in coal and petcoke prices, increase in petcoke

consumption and a reduction in energy consumption norms. Use of pet coke in kilns rose from 52% to 70% this year and

company commissioned 26 MW of WHRS, pegging the total WHRS capacity at 59 MW(Contributing around 5-6% to

company’s total power requirement).

Capex: UTCEM has ploughed Rs 20bn into the business in FY16 and added 6.2mt grinding capacity (4.5mt in Jhajjar,

Haryana and Dankuni in West Bengal and 1.6mt in Pataliputra, Bihar) , resulting into total capacity of 66.3mt in India. Also,

company has increased WHRS capacity from 26MW in FY15 to 59MW this year. Company has signed definitive agreement

with Jaiprakash Associates Limited to acquire its plants with total capacity of 21.2mt in MP, UP, Himachal Pradesh,

Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh, leading to total capacity of 97.5mt in India.

Cash generation and debt re-payment: UTCEM generated operating cash flows to the tune of Rs.43bn vs. Rs. 41bn in

FY15. This was due to combination of improvement in EBITDA and lower working capital requirements. Inventory as % of

sales decreased to 10% vs 12% last year on lower price of fuel/packing materials. UTCEM generated free cash flows post

interest payments to the tune of Rs. 18bn. This has resulted in debt re-payment of Rs. 16bn in FY16. Net leverage currently

stands at 0.05x vs 0.14x in FY15.

Valuation and view: We value UTCEM based on 15x FY18E EBITDA, which is ~20% premium to last three year average.

We believe UTCEM deserves premium valuations due to superior volume growth, margin expansion led by cost saving

initiatives and balance sheet strength. At CMP, the stock trades at 14x FY18E EV/EBITDA and $210/t leaving very little

comfort from risk to reward perspective. Further, the stock is up 20% on YTD basis factoring in pick up in volumes and Jaypee

deal. As a result , we would wait for a better entry point. Maintain ADD rating.
