Domestic ad revenues grew 22.3% (vs. our EPS FY20E Changed from | 21 to | 20 expectation of 20% YoY growth) but international ad revenues stayed Rating Changed from Hold to Buy muted (2.1% YoY), lower than our expectation of 10% growth.

On the subscription Quarterly performance front, growth was disappointing at 8.3% YoY (vs. expectation of ~13% Q1FY19 Q1FY18 YoY (%) Q4FY18 QoQ (%) YoY), impacted by a decline in international subscription by 6.6% YoY Revenue 1,772.0 1,540.3 15.0 1,725.3 2.7 while domestic subscription grew 12.3% EBITDA 565.7 484.4 16.8 506.2 11.7 EBITDA (%) 31.9 31.4 47 bps 29.3 258 bps  EBITDA came in at | 565.7 crore, a tad above our expectation of Adj.

We also believe Target P/E 44.9 41.4 36.3 30.0 EV / EBITDA 23.7 22.4 18.7 15.4 domestic ad growth is a reflection of Zee’s continued overall market share P/BV 5.8 5.4 4.7 4.1 expansion in the non-sports entertainment segment as it has increased its RoNW 15.0 15.3 15.3 15.9 markets in Hindi GEC as well as regional markets of Bengali, Marathi, RoCE 21.2 25.6 24.5 25.5 Telugu and Tamil. We note that the management reiterated its guidance

of beating the expected industry ad growth in FY19. We believe Zee’s Stock data superior bouquet offering with an exhaustive and strong regional Particular Amount presence will drive its ad growth trajectory outperformance. Going ahead, Market Capitalization (| crore) 49,431.8 we build in 16% CAGR in ad revenues over FY18-20E to | 5660 crore. Total Debt (FY18) (| crore) 1.0 Cash (FY18) (| crore) 1,611.7 Management terms new tariff regime an opportunity for ARPU uptick EV (| crore) 47,710.4 The management indicated that the new tariff order is an opportunity for 52 week H/L (| ) 619/ 458 taking ARPU upwards for the industry. Moreover, Zee, a leading Equity capital (| crore) 96.0 broadcaster with a presence across genres and markets, would be a key Face value (|) 1.0 beneficiary. The management also maintained its guidance of low teen Price performance subscription growth in FY19E. Furthermore, we also believe the tailwinds 1M 3M 6M 12M of digitisation of Phase III/IV could keep the momentum in domestic TV Today -7.5 -7.2 -1.7 69.4 subscription growth buoyant over the next couple of years. Hence, we Sun TV -18.1 -16.3 -31.1 -10.5 build in overall subscription revenue CAGR of 12.6% (vs. ~15.5% earlier ZEEL -8.5 -12.1 -17.2 -1.2 given challenges on the international subscription front) in FY18-20E to | 2571 crore.

Conference Call Highlights

 Strong domestic ad growth on viewership share gain, industry growth may be higher than earlier expected range: The management attributed strong domestic ad revenue growth to higher ad spends across categories and increase in network viewership share. The management further said the government’s initiative to aid the farming sector and good monsoon predictions bode well for growth in the rural market, which subsequently helps beat earlier industry ad revenue guidance of 10-12% in FY19. The management also indicated that domestic ad growth for the company, for FY19, would exceed industry growth  International ad, subscription growth adversely impacted by geopolitical issues: The management indicated that international ad revenue for the quarter was impacted by geopolitical issues in the Middle East while international subscription revenues were adversely impacted by the UK market, where it is now a free-to-air (FTA) channel vs. pay channel earlier. The management maintained its low teen guidance for domestic subscription growth  Planning to foray into Malayalam market; expansion in Punjab market also on the anvil: The management indicated they are planning to launch a Malayalam channel. If all regulatory approvals come as per their expectation, the channels would be launched around September 2018. The management also indicated they are planning to launch Punjabi along with other regional movies channels. However, the timeline of the same has not been finalised yet  Looking to launch Zee5 in international market; aggressive expansion in domestic market: The management indicated they are planning to launch Zee5 in the international market in FY19. They indicated they have released 14 Zee5 original shows already across six languages while 20 more shows are lined up for release in Q2FY19. The management indicated that halving the subscription charges for Zee5 is a well thought marketing strategy and is for a limited period till August 15, 2018. They also indicated that targeted breakeven period for any venture is in the range of

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 7

three to five years. However, considering the nature of aggressive investments requirement for the digital platform, the breakeven could be at the higher end of this range. The management also indicated they have not signed any deals with telcos  Maintains margin guidance of 30%+ despite investments in Zee5: The management reiterated an EBITDA margin guidance of 30%+ in FY19. The EBITDA margin guidance would take care of all investments going into the Zee5 platform including international expansion as well as launch of new regional channels  Others: Cash on the balance sheet is at | 3000 crore. The management mentioned that a portion of this cash is in international subsidiaries on account of (i) cash requirement for expansion in international market (ii) cash received after sale of sports business is also lying there (ii) tax inefficiency (effective tax rate on repatriation of 17%). However, over the last couple of quarters, the same has begun to be repatriated back

Valuation Zee is poised to maintain its industry leading performance both in terms of ad growth as well as margins trajectory, given its strong bouquet of regional channels and prudent content spending. The digital expansion trajectory also remains on course, as per expectations with limited margin erosion. The recent correction of over ~15% in the last two months has made the risk reward favourable amid its robust performance. We continue to value the company at 30x FY20E P/E to arrive at a target price of | 600. We upgrade the stock to BUY.
