digits even excluding contribution from OTT subscriptions.  IPL: Profit from the event should be significantly lower YoY due to a change in the title sponsor (INR125m loss), lost ticket revenue (INR250–300m), and higher operational expense as the tournament took place in the UAE.  Content focus: The current focus remains on the pipeline of eight blockbusters (INR3–4b cost), scheduled to be released over the next 12 months, along with the revamping of TV content. After this, the management would focus on Sun Next original content.  OTT: Original content production has been delayed due to movie line-ups. However, the target is to annually invest INR2b in OTT from FY22. The platform is expected to clock higher revenues given strong subscriber traction and demand on telco/other OTT platforms.

Sun TV Network

Valuation and view  Subscription growth has remained steady in the last few quarters despite the lockdown, while ad revenues are recovering gradually. We expect subscription revenue to grow in the double digits in FY22E, while ad revenues should revive as the market recovers.  Sun TV has a strong liquidity position, with INR35.9b net cash. This should help the company maintain a stronger position in the current lockdown crisis and aid strong investments in the Sun NXT platform.  The valuation has shrunk significantly from >25x two years back v/s prevailing P/E of 11x. This is due to weak earnings on the back of dilution in viewership and limited focus on the digital platform Sun NXT. However, recent strong commentary on a TV content revamp and a strong funnel of movie content could aid earnings revival.  We expect FY22 revenue/EBITDA to grow 11%/14% over FY20 on the back of an improving macro environment, coupled with a revamp in content addition.  Sun TV trades at FY21E/FY22E P/E of 12.5x/10.8x. We value Sun TV at FY22E P/E of 13x to arrive at TP of INR530. Maintain Buy.

2QFY21 earnings call highlights

OTT and content  Current focus on blockbuster pipeline: The current focus remains on the pipeline of eight blockbusters, scheduled to be released over the next 12 months. Furthermore, there are two upcoming releases on Diwali, of which one is a low-budget project. After the scheduled releases have happened, the management would focus on Sun Next original content.  TV shows pipeline: It is revamping three shows to drive viewership in the Tamil market, which should bring back viewership to 45–50%. Furthermore, it has a strong pipeline of shows in all of its markets, so non-performing shows could be replaced. Only 20% of Tamil content is a private production, while the rest was produced in-house.  Content rights: Management sells content rights to cover production cost and gain slight margins, while it retains digital and broadcasting rights to attain healthy RoCE on investment.  Capex: It is looking at the current run-rate of OTT revenue; management is confident of investing INR2b in OTT annually, without seeing any impact on profitability. However, this cost should go up when the company completely transitions to digital. Furthermore, management should spend INR3–4b on eight blockbuster movies over the next 12 months.  OTT revenue outlook: OTT is one of the fastest revenue drivers. Management is looking to move from a flat fee structure to per subscriber with telcos.  Original content: Sun TV is looking to make 40–50 movies for OTT, post which it would focus on web series. Management expects to launch the first original web series by 1Q/2QFY22.

Sun TV Network

 OTT subscription: Currently, Sun Next has 18m active users; the majority of these are from tie-ups with other players. Hence, organic users account for a fraction of the total. Subscription charges are INR50/month in India and much higher in Singapore/Malaysia. In the long run, the management is looking to make OTT a pure-play subscription model.

Subscription business  Revenue: DTH revenue declined QoQ due to the monetization of the digital rights of movies in the last quarter. Cable revenue is not expected to grow, but DTH should show double-digit growth within the next one year. Overall, subscription revenue should grow in the double digits, excluding OTT subscription revenue.  NTO 2.0 impact: Sun TV would see marginal impact if NTO 2.0 is implemented.

Advertisement  Revenue outlook: Advertisement revenue has seen sharp recovery, with 80% of pre-COVID levels achieved in Oct’20. However, the management expects de- growth in FY21.  Segmental breakup: Of the total advertisement revenue, national/regional advertisers contributed 95%/5% in 2QFY21 (historically, regional advertisers have contributed 33%); FMCG forms 65% of the national advertisers.

IPL  Profit from the event should be significantly lower YoY due to a change in the title sponsor (INR125m loss), lost ticket revenue (INR250–300m), and higher operating expenses as the tournament took place in the UAE.

Others  Amortization guidance: This should be INR3b for FY21; however, it could increase if a blockbuster releases around Pongal.  Receivables: To maintain its conservative approach, Sun TV has recognized provision of INR90m for receivables. However, there is no issue with the quality of receivables (there were issues with some DTH players, but the company received the entire dues).  Revenue split: Advertisement and Broadcasting / International / DTH / Cable / IPL / Film revenue for 2QFY21 stood at INR2,450m/INR370m/INR2,320m/INR1,950m/INR450m/INR20m.
