Zee Entertainment Valuation and view Ad revenue growth: Our FY18-21E ad revenue growth for Zee remains at 16.5%. This is marginally above FICCI-KPMG’s TV ad industry growth estimates of 15% over the similar period. Zee’s wide channel bouquet and focus to increase target market through entry in new genres should support higher growth. Subscription revenue growth: Subscription revenue growth in the next three years should remain healthy, as digitization is expected to help garner better subscription revenue driven by ARPUs. EBITDA margin: We have built in steady EBITDA margin improvement of 270bp over FY18-21E on the back of sale of loss-making sports business and operating leverage. Management has guided north of 30% EBITDA margin; however, we believe the company has enough margin headroom to support fresh investments (even at 200-300bp higher margin from the current 31-32% EBITDA margin). Subsequently, the company has the potential to drive secular 22% EPS growth over FY18-21E.

This values the company at INR 876, offering 50% upside. 1-year view: We have revised up FY19-20 PAT by 2% on better-than-expected results. Subsequently, our TP is revised up to INR705 (v/s INR680 earlier) on 35x (3-year average) P/E on Dec’19 EPS. Premium valuation is justified on Zee’s steady 24% EPS CAGR over FY18-20E and improving RoIC above 30%. Our high EPS growth estimate is driven by 200bp EBITDA margin expansion over FY18-20E reaching 33.9%, above the company’s guidance of 30%+. 17 January 2018 2 Zee Entertainment Exhibit 2: ZEEL: 1-year forward P/E band P/E (x) Avg (x) Max (x) Min (x) 53.0 43.3 41.0 35.0 29.0 25.9 17.0 5.0 10.0 Jul-10 Jul-15 Jan-08 Jan-13 Jan-18 Oct-11 Oct-16 Apr-09 Apr-14 Source: MOSL, Bloomberg Key Triggers Sustainable ad revenue growth led by steady industry growth and healthy viewership market share.
