• Subscriber acquisition cost stood at INR1,525.

ARPU • Dish TV’s ARPU was flat QoQ at INR149. • The company has taken a number of initiatives such as introduction of a’ la carte pack and hybrid STB which may boost ARPU going ahead. • ARPU in Q3FY18 is estimated to increase by INR2 as the full benefit of GST will accrue in the next 2 quarters. • The company added 0.3mn gross HD subscribers in Q2FY18. • It has introduced introductory small HD packs. • Further, the company started free per view for subscribers who can watch HD channels for 10minutes. • Dish TV currently has 2.5mn HD subscribers.

Prasar Bharti’s Freedish • 10 Free-to-Air channels have decided to opt out of Freedish and another 5 channels are expected to opt out in February 2018 as at current pricing of carriage fee the channels did not find it viable. • Though Dish TV has lost a lot of customers to Freedish, Prasar Bharti is losing ad revenue to private broadcasters (revenue dipped 30-40%). Hence, it has removed some of the channels. • Management believes the Freedish threat is gradually ebbing.

4 Edelweiss Securities Limited Dish TV India

Outlook and valuations: Positive; maintain ‘BUY’ Healthy subscriber addition in the past few quarters, higher share of HD & Zing subscribers and rising free cash flow continue to bolster our confidence. We believe, Dish TV is well placed to gain from Phase 3 and 4 digitisation due to last mile connectivity and funding issues of MSOs and increase in ARPUs (due to differential pricing in Phase 1 and 2 markets). The company is providing for 7.0-7.5% licence fee (versus 10% in the past).

Phase 4 digitisation is likely to exert some pressure on ARPUs, but Dish TV expects HD additions to slightly lower the impact. Videocon d2h merger is on track and will lead to synergy benefits in FY19. We are factoring in Videocon d2h merger in our FY19E numbers. We expect Videocon d2h’s net addition of 1.1mn and ARPU increase of 4% YoY in FY18. With the concerns surrounding Freedish fading, better ARPU’s in the offing due to TRAI tariff order and on Videocon d2h merger synergies we maintain ‘BUY/SP’ with TP of INR103 (8x FY19E EV/EBITDA). At CMP, the stock is trading at 8.2x FY18E and 6.5x FY19E EV/EBITDA.

6 Edelweiss Securities Limited Dish TV India

Company Description Dish TV is India’s largest direct-to-home (DTH) company and part of the country’s biggest media conglomerate the ZEE Group. As of Sept 30, 2017, net subscriber base was at 15.9mn. Dish TV has on its platform more than 470 channels and services. It uses the NSS-6 satellite platform which is unique in the Indian subcontinent owing to its automated power control and contoured beam which makes it suitable for use in ITU K and N rain zones ideally suited for India’s tropical climate. The company has a vast distribution network of more than 1,685 distributors and 201,300 dealers spanning 8,929 towns in the country. It has six 24*7 call centres catering to 11 different languages to take care of subscriber requirements at any point of time.

Investment Theme Delay in tariff agreements between MSOs and LCOs may result in DTH players like Dish TV getting incremental subscriber additions during the digitisation process. Though Phase 1 and Phase 2 remain important, key potential for it lies in Phase 3 and Phase 4. Innovations like launch of Zing brand for regional markets, likely GST and reduction in debt levels further bolsters our confidence.

Key Risks Any adverse judgment in the ongoing DTH licence fee case in TDSAT

Slowdown in subscriber additions.

Competition from other DTH service providers.

Limited ARPU growth.
