Sun TV Network | HOLD Strong 1Q subscription growth; ad growth is key—maintain Hold

1QFY18 standalone revenues (ex-IPL) were 2% ahead of our forecast, but core EBITDA was Sanjay Chawla exactly in-line, as higher subscription income was offset by higher content costs [movie [email protected] | Tel: (91 22) 66303055 amortization or MAC]. EBITDA including IPL was c.6% ahead, as losses from IPL came in Shilpa Pattnaik lower at Rs224mn vs. JMe Rs441mn. PAT [+8% yoy] of Rs2.5bn was 6% ahead thanks to IPL [email protected] | Tel: (91 22) 66303134 Underlying ad revenues (incl. broadcast fee) were down 4.3% yoy but came in line. Ad revenues fell in June ahead of GST, and the weakness continued through July as per mgmt. Nonetheless, mgmt. has confirmed a recovery in August, and we tweak up our ad growth forecast to c.9% yoy for FY18, but maintain a 10% CAGR thereafter. We have also raised our subscription revenue forecasts; however, our EBITDA forecasts are virtually unchanged,

because of higher content costs including MAC. Our revised target price is Rs760 (Sep’18) versus Rs750 (Jun’18) previously, driven entirely by rollover. Recommendation and Price Target Current Reco. HOLD Sun stock has corrected 25% from its Apr-17 peak, and at Rs707 CMP, it is trading at an Previous Reco. HOLD FY18E EV/EBITDA of 15x and P/E of c.24x—implied valuation discount to Zee [Rs550 TP; Current Price Target (12M) 760 Hold] is c.30%, which makes Sun relatively more attractive in our view. Sun is likely to see a Upside/(Downside) 7.5% faster EPS growth (c.19% CAGR) compared to Zee (17%) on our forecasts, thanks to Previous Price Target 750 Change 1.3% upcoming digitization in Tamil Nadu—we forecast Sun’s domestic subscription revenues to double in four years from FY17 level [19% CAGR]. For absolute upside though, we would Key Data – SUNTV IN wait for ad-growth recovery into low-to-mid teens, against our 10% CAGR forecast. Current Market Price Rs707 Downside risk is lower ad revenue, driven by growing GEC competition in TN and return of Market cap (bn) Rs278.6/US$4.3 the 12-minute ad-cap. Our blue-sky Sep’18 DCF value is Rs936, based on 12% ad CAGR and Free Float 20% assuming promoter compensation gets fixed at Rs500 mn p.a. versus 10% of PBT currently. Shares in issue (mn) 394.1 Diluted share (mn) 394.1  Tamil ad growth is key; other genres beginning to deliver: Despite impact of GST and 3-mon avg daily val (mn) Rs1,055.5/US$1.1 pressure in TN market, 1Q ad growth recovered strongly on a sequential basis [+11.5%], 52-week range 950/434 Sensex/Nifty 31,214/9,711 thanks to growth in Telugu (+31% yoy) and Malayalam (+27%) clusters. Kannada and TN Rs/US$ 64.2 were flat—latter mainly due to base-effect (election spends in 1QFY17). Flagship Sun TV has seen about 150bps market-share erosion post-launch of Bigg Boss Tamil (Star Vijay) Price Performance towards end of June. Sun TV’s GRPs have been stable though, as Star has mostly ended % 1M 6M 12M up expanding the non-fiction category. However, continued aggression by Star and Absolute -13.7 -2.4 54.1 Relative* -12.2 -11.4 37.5 upcoming launch of GEC Colors in TN (4QCY17) may create turmoil in Sun’s core market. * To the BSE Sensex Keeping that in view, we have modelled a 10% ad-revenue CAGR for Sun post FY18.

 Upbeat on subscription: 1Q DSR was up c.17% and came in 7% higher; ISR was up 11% and was 3% higher. While DSR beat was partly due to catch-up revenues post-renewal of deals with LCOs, management confirmed improving traction in the AP and Telengana markets. Further, revenues from digital distribution (3rd party platforms) are seeing robust growth too, as per the mgmt. Further, start of digitisation in TN post STB-seeding by Arasu (likely by Dec-17), would provide additional tailwind to subscription revenues. We therefore raise our DSR forecasts, and model 18-20% annual growth over the next four years.
