There is no reason to panic

Over the last month, Dish TV’s stock price has underperformed broader indices on concerns BUY (Maintain) about stumbling ARPU growth and spike in content cost in FY17. Recent rupee weakness has CMP RS 70 also exacerbated worries. In this note, we have tried to address most of the concerns and TARGET RS 115 (+64%) quantify the financial impact on the company. ARPU growth lagging, but recent price hike should aid near‐term growth: Over the last COMPANY DATA three quarters, the company has hiked prices twice and implemented differential pricing in O/S SHARES (MN) : 1066 MARKET CAP (RSBN) : 77 phase‐1 and phase‐2 markets. Even then, the percolation to ARPU growth has been MARKET CAP (USDBN) : 1.1 disappointing due to – (1) increase in service tax to 14.5% from 12.36%, and (2) ARPU 52 ‐ WK HI/LO (RS) : 122 / 68 dilution from Zing’s subscriber additions (Zing contributes 22‐23% of Dish’s net adds, but its LIQUIDITY 3M (USDMN) : 6.7 base packs are 30‐60% cheaper). However, an approximate 4% price hike in August 2015 PAR VALUE (RS) : 1 across all packs should aid ARPU growth and higher proportion of HD subscriber addition SHARE HOLDING PATTERN, % (HD ARPU is more than twice SD ARPU) should negate ARPU dilution due to Zing’s Sep 15 Jun 15 Mar 15 subscribers.

With set‐top box (STB) cost remaining stable, it Dish TV BSE Sensex can easily add ~4.5‐5.0mn subscribers per year, without raising incremental debt. We expect it to add 2.5mn subscribers (gross) in FY17/18, giving it the flexibility to pare its entire debt. Source: Phillip Capital India Research

ARPU growth lagging, but recent price hike to aid near‐term growth

ARPU growth has been lagging for the last few quarters: Over the last few quarters, ARPU growth has been sluggish (and missed consensus/our estimates) due to two factors: 1. Increase in service tax to 14.5% (including SBC – Swachh Bharat Cess) from 12.36% implemented from June 1st 2015 2. ARPU dilution from Zing’s subscriber additions (Zing contributes 22‐23% of Dish’s net adds, but its base packs are 30‐60% cheaper)

Recently hiked prices to support near‐term ARPU growth: The company has hiked prices by 4‐5% across all the packs in August 2015 to negate the impact of the increase in service tax. It has also implemented a differential pricing strategy across all Digital Addressable System‐2 cities (which constitute 42% of its existing subscriber base) since May 2015, which is yet to reflect in ARPU.

Content cost escalation unlikely to surprise negatively DishTV’s content cost has seen a CAGR of 16% over the last five years (FY10‐15) vs. subscription revenue growth of 25%; as a % of total revenue, it has declined to 29% in FY15 from 35% in FY10. DishTV says 50% of its content cost is on a fixed‐fee agreement basis (with an annual escalation clause) and the rest is on a cost‐per‐ subscriber basis (CPS).

Content cost linked to active subscriber base Content cost negotiation with broadcasters is based on its active subscriber base and not on its net subscriber base. As per the TRAI, the active subscriber base (of the DTH industry) is only 50% of the registered subscriber base – mainly due to the churn from DTH back to analog cable (mainly because of the cost difference). TRAI’s latest figures peg active subscribers in India at around 41mn.

A rough calculation suggests that Dish TV should ideally report an ARPU of Rs 224 on a subscriber base of 14mn, but the actual ARPU it reported in Q3FY16 was 172 – this implies that there are ~ 30% non‐paying subscribers (which are active only for part of a year) in its system. Our interaction with various industry participants suggests that the inactive subscribers primarily belong to phase‐3 and phase‐4 markets (these subscribers have not churned out of the system – these subscribers typically use their STB for event‐specific short periods and revert back to analog for the rest of their consumption).

Content cost pay‐out in line with industry trend Overall content cost pay‐out for the other peers in the DTH industry (Tata Sky and VideoconD2H) is much higher than DishTV’s (see table below for FY15 numbers). Higher content cost pay‐out on an absolute basis for the peer group can be attributed to higher proportion of HD subscribers – Tata Sky ~20%, VideoconD2h ~10% vs. Dish TV’s <6%.

However, DishTV’s content costs on a per subscriber basis as a % of total ARPU are comparable to Tata Sky and 800bps higher than VideoconD2H’s. On a per‐subscriber basis (adjusted for inactive subscribers) DishTV’s costs are also comparable to VideoconD2H’s.

Content cost CAGR of 18‐20% from FY16‐18 DishTV’s content cost CAGR was 16% from FY10‐15. Normally, the content‐cost agreement with broadcasters is renewed every 2‐3 years and during renegotiations the cost generally rises 20‐30%.

Dish TV’s last content cost negotiations happened in FY15 and the next round is due mid‐FY17. Half of the content costs are linked to subscriber growth (cost per subscriber deal) and the remaining are on a fixed‐cost basis, with an annual escalation clause of 7‐8%. We expect these costs to increase 20% in FY17 and 15% in FY18 – in line with the industry trend.

Subscriber growth momentum to continue DishTV missed net subscriber addition estimates in Q3FY16 due to management changes in the quarter and delay in the launch of its promotional campaign (including the Dish99 pack).

With mandatory digitisation of cable services by MIB (Ministry of Information and Broadcasting) in four phases, the target addressable market for the entire DTH industry continues to be immense. Phase‐1 and 2 markets have already been digitised with DTH holding ~40% market share. The next two phases of digitisation open up a huge market for the DTH industry – about 70mn analog cable TV households are up for grabs.

DTH players enjoy an inherent advantage over cable players in phase‐3 and 4 markets as most of the cable TV players are unorganised and lack the financial capability to seed set‐top boxes and provide backend infrastructure. Phase 1 and 2 entailed installing STBs in roughly 35mn homes in a relatively well‐defined and densely populated geographical area. For the cable industry, even covering this ground has stretched financial and operational resources, with very little clarity on the payback period for their investments – this indicates that phases 3 and 4 will probably pose greater logistical and financial challenges. So far it appears that DTH players have an upper hand in these markets and can see robust subscriber additions.

Zing, DishTV’s localised service offering to benefit from structural benefit: For about 72% of the Indian cable TV market (geographically), Hindi is not a principal language. Regional GECs and movies enjoys ~27% viewership share cable TV homes. Hence, a differentiated service offering based on language preferences (where a user can directly choose to get a set‐top box to watch local channels instead of waiting for the local cable operator to install a set‐top box) can provide a strategic boost to customer additions for DishTV.

Currently, Zing has been launched in six regional markets – Odisha, , Zing Digital is dishtv’s subsidiary Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, , and Andhra Pradesh – which constitutes 62% of all (launched in January 2015), which India cable TV homes.

Launch of Dish99 pack to address the low ARPU customers in HSM In a bid to cater to the specific needs of a price‐sensitive audience, DishTV launched a unique plan – Dish99 – where a user can get access to 125 channels and services in digital quality and top it up with a choice of custom‐made 17 entertainment add‐on packs ranging from Rs 25 to Rs 75 and five regional add‐ons for Rs 10 each.

To augment its digitisation drive in phase‐3 (along with Dish99), the company has also introduced a 360‐degree multi‐media campaign spanning media platforms. This Digital Addressable System promotional campaign will enable Dish TV to capitalize the huge user base that would have to switch from analog cable to the digital platform.

Stock corrected in line with indices, consensus estimates stable Dish TV’s stock price corrected by ~30% over the last three months due (1) miss in reported KPIs in Q3FY16 results, (2) weakness in market sentiment. But, during the same time frame, our and consensus estimates (EBITDA and earnings) continued to inch higher or remain stable, as the company reported robust operating profit growth driven by prudent cost management. Hence, we believe that recent weakness in stock price is unnecessarily overblown, and that DishTV’s fundamentals continue to be robust.

After a 30% correction in the past three months, the stock is near the lower end of its trading range (1 standard deviation below its six‐year average on an EV/EBITDA basis).

Robust cash flow/growth not reflected in current valuation Over the past few years Dish TV’s margins and cash flow has improved significantly due to (1) increased scale of operations, (2) decreased competitive intensity, and (3) prudent cost management. We expect growth momentum to continue with robust subscriber additions and less‐than‐inflationary increase in ARPU.

Rs 10bn+ OCF in FY17 to sustain subscriber adds momentum and repay debt: Driven by improving operating margins and cash flow generation from WC changes, DishTV We peg revenue/EBITDA CAGR over should generate Rs 12.0/14.6bn OCF in FY17/18. With STB cost remaining stable, it FY16‐18 at 15%/21% can easily add ~4.5‐5.0mn subscriber per year, without raising incremental debt. We expect it to add 2.5mn subscribers (gross) in FY17/18, giving it the flexibility to pare its entire debt.

Improving operating performance key to rerating: We expect DishTV to continue displaying improved operating performance because of higher subscriber addition and return of pricing power. We value the company on a DCF basis using a WACC of 14.4% and terminal growth rate of 5% and arrive at a March 2017 PT of Rs 115, implying an upside of 64% from the current level.
