Key Highlights for the Quarter

Exhibition Capacity: At the end of FY2008, PVR had 84 screens and 21,853 seats under operation (excluding Franchise Theaters). No new addition took place during 4QFY2008 and the company ended its Franchise contracts with PVR SRS (Faridabad) and Spice World (Noida). While, this development will not have any material impact in revenue terms (both properties together contributed only Rs1-2cr in form of Management Fees), it is likely to impact footfalls to the extent of 1.3mn-1.4mn in the future. During May 2008, the company added two new multiplexes - Oberoi Mall, Mumbai (6 screens with 1,783 seats) and Ambience Mall, Gurgaon (7 screens with 1,194 seats) taking its total tally to 97 screens.

Net Ticket Sales: Net Ticket Sales (including income from revenue sharing) for the quarter registered a 25% yoy growth to Rs34.3cr (Rs27.5cr) primarily on account of higher average ATP, which increased by 13.8% yoy to Rs132 (Rs116), a 23.4% yoy jump in seating capacity (excluding franchise theaters) and lower E-tax outflow (down 2.5% yoy). The reduction in average E-tax liability was on account of addition of new screens which are eligible for exemption. Currently, 40% of PVR’s screens enjoy E-tax exemption. However, a weak box-office movie pipeline and seasonality associated with the quarter (exam-season) affected the Occupancy rate (down 430bp yoy to 31.9%) leading to flat Footfalls (3.7mn).

Other Revenues: Advertising and Royalty Income for the quarter registered a sharp 79% yoy growth to Rs9cr (Rs5cr) on account of growth in corporate alliances and increase in sponsorship revenues from existing as well as new cinema properties. F&B revenues witnessed a 31% yoy growth to Rs10.5cr (Rs8cr) achieved primarily on account of higher spend per head (SPH), which increased by 21.8% yoy to Rs34 (Rs28) as Footfalls for the quarter remained flat. Sharp jump in SPH was aided by addition of Select City Walk, Saket - a PVR Premiere property.

Key Developments

Fund infusion in its Movie subsidiary, PVR Pictures: On June 5, 2008, PVR raised funds in its wholly owned movie subsidiary, PVR Pictures, by diluting 40% equity stake for Rs120cr to private equity firms, ICICI Venture and JP Morgan. Each firm picked up 20% stake for Rs60cr valuing the Movie arm at Rs300cr. PVR now holds 60% stake in the subsidiary. We are positively surprised with the valuations attracted by the Movie arm and view this deal as a testimony to PVR’s management capabilities. The funds raised would be utilised for enhancing the distribution network and production facility for PVR Pictures. This deal would enable PVR to emerge as a fully integrated film and entertainment company with interests across the entire value chain including production, distribution and exhibition. Moreover, we believe this deal is a stepping stone towards value unlocking of PVR Pictures (in terms of listing), albeit gradually.

PVR Pictures’ first co-production with Productions (AKPL), , has already achieved significant success at the box-office and received critical acclaim. Its second movie with AKPL, JaaneTu Ya Jaane Na, is slated for release in 2QFY2009. Besides the tie-up with AKPL, PVR Pictures has another three co-productions lined up over the next 3-6 months including titles like Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye, Contract and Ghost Ghost Na Raha. It is also betting big on the distribution side of the business and has acquired rights to distribute about 30-40 movies over the next 12-15 months including distribution rights in some territories for Amitabh Bachchan starrer, , a Rs15cr deal with Shemaroo for distribution rights of Ghatotkach and Mere Baap Pehle Aap and distribution deal with the US-based production house, Focus Features, for 13 movies.

Foray into lifestyle retail entertainment, forms JV with Thailand based Major Cineplex Group: Recently, PVR entered into a 51:49 JV named Blu-O Rhythm & Bowl with Major Cineplex Group who is the market leader in Thailand’s entertainment industry with a market share of about 75%. The JV plans to set-up bowling alleys, karaoke centers, ice skating rinks and gaming zones in and around the Company's multiplexes. The venture plans to set up 100 to 150 bowling lanes over the next three years in India with its first project - a 24- lane Bowling Alley Center at Ambience Mall in Gurgaon expected to start in next 3-6 months. Both partners are planning to pump in Rs10cr each to fund JV’s initial plans.

Foray into premium brand of Multiplex – PVR Premiere: During the year, PVR unveiled its premium brand of multiplexes called PVR Premiere with its first launch at Select City Walk Mall at Saket in New Delhi (2 Gold class screens). PVR Premiere’s ticket price ranges between Rs300-Rs750 from weekdays to weekends. These multiplexes are targeted at the urban consumers and have facilities like 180-degree leather upholstered reclining seats, personalised menu and a lounge area, among many such services. Thus, it meets the entire value chain of luxurious movie watching experience. Recently, PVR added 2 more screens to its Premiere range by starting operations at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. PVR plans to launch about 30-40 Premiere screens in metros by FY2010 and expects to achieve around 15-20% of its exhibition revenue from these screens. We believe PVR Premiere is an extremely innovative concept and will help PVR improve its average ATP and SPH over the coming years.

Foray into Food Retailing: During the year, PVR formed a 30:70 JV with Gyan Enterprises, a company promoted by Amit Burman (Vice Chairman, Dabur), to operate food courts, restaurants, pubs, fast food centres, coffee shops and food joints in different formats under the brand name Food Union. The first pilot has been set-up at Sahara mall, Gurgaon at an investment of about Rs2cr. Depending on the success of this model, the JV plans to scale up the business to more than 10 food courts across the country by supporting it with Rs100cr investment.

Impressive tie-up with Mall developer, Prestige Group: During the year, the company entered into an agreement with the Prestige Group, a Bangalore based leading Real Estate developer, to build world class multiplexes in their upcoming mall developments in South India. According to the deal, PVR will be operating multiplexes for all of Prestige’s Forum malls and will act as an anchor tenant for its next five mall developments across key cities in South India namely Bangalore, Cochin, Hyderabad and Mangalore.

Outlook and Valuation

During the period FY2008-10E, we expect PVR to register a 47.9% CAGR in consolidated Topline driven by steady addition in seating capacity, improvement in ATP and SPH (aided by PVR Premiere screens) and strong growth in Advertisement revenues. We expect the screen count to increase from the current 97 screens to 125 screens in FY2009E and 163 screens in FY2010E. In terms of PVR Pictures, we have factored in Rs70cr and Rs120cr Topline in FY2009E and FY2010E respectively on the back of a strong movie production/distribution pipeline supported by fresh infusion of funds. At the operating front, we expect Margins to improve 240bp over FY2008-10E driving a robust 57.4% CAGR in EBITDA supported by lower E-Tax outflow (expected to reduce as a % of Ticket revenues), lower overheads (spread over a larger screen base) and contribution from PVR’s first owned property at Phoenix Mills (7 screens with 1,965 seats expected to start in July 2008). As a result, we expect the company to deliver a Net Profit CAGR growth of 50.7% during the mentioned period.

We believe PVR’s superior Management bandwidth, integrated business model and strong set of properties (in terms of location) make it the most preferred play in the exhibition space. Moreover, its new ventures like food courts and bowling alleys will help PVR capitalise on large flow of Footfalls and hold upside risk to our estimates. While we are enthused with the valuations ascribed to PVR Pictures by private equity partners, we still await clarity on the deal and prefer to wait another quarter (to check on the performance of its co-production releases) before assigning similar valuations. Nonetheless, we believe this deal is likely to lead to a re-rating of the stock. At the CMP of Rs184, PVR trades at attractive valuations of 9.1x FY2010E EPS. We maintain Buy on the stock with a revised Target Price of Rs263 (Rs276), downgraded marginally to factor in higher execution risk, both in terms of Movie Production and Exhibition business.
