Recommendation & Analysis - ‘BUY’

Consolidated Operating Revenue stood at Rs. 11588.10 million in the fourth quarter of FY14 and registered a

growth of 20.17% as compared to Rs. 9642.90 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This has driven by

strong growth in advertising, domestic subscriptions and syndication revenues. For Q4 FY14, EBITDA increased

by 10.48% y-o-y and stood at Rs. 3271.20 million compared to Rs. 2960.80 million in Q4 FY13. EBITDA margin

expanded from 25.1% in Q4 FY13 to 26.9% in this quarter. Net profit for the quarter ramps up by 21.15% to Rs.

2175.80 million from Rs. 1796.00 million in the previous year period. The PAT margin was 18.7% during the

quarter. ZEE’s advertising revenues during the quarter were Rs. 5824.00 million, showing an increase of 21.5%

y-o-y. Subscription revenue were Rs. 4635 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. During the quarter,

domestic subscription revenues stood at Rs. 3344.00 million, while international subscription revenues were Rs.

1292.00 million. Performance during the quarter reflects the investments that ZEE is making to grow its business

and market share.

Indian economy continues to grow at a sluggish pace of less than 5% in FY14. By keeping on pressure on overall

advertising spends which have barely touched the double digit mark. To some extent election related spends

have helped. With a stable government, growth is expected to pick up. The company expects that despite a slow

economy, television media industry will continue on its double-digit growth path. The company continues to

make investments in creating excellent quality content for its viewers and explores growth opportunities in

domestic markets, international markets and in digital space. Over FY2013-16E, we expect the company to post a

CAGR of 17% and 18% in its top-line and bottom-line respectively. Hence, we recommend ‘BUY’ for ‘Zee

Entertainment Enterprises Ltd’ with a target price of Rs. 302.00 on the stock.

Industry Overview

India's media and entertainment (M&E) industry registered an overall growth of 12.6 per cent, from Rs 728

billion (US$ 11.74 billion) in 2011 to Rs 821 billion (US$ 13.24 billion) in 2012, according to the Federation of

Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

India has a population of over 1.2 billion. The sheer numbers give the M&E industry in the country a tremendous

opportunity for growth. Some time back, the thought of reaching and engaging with such a vast and diverse

population seemed improbable. However, today, the industry is armed with digital technologies, state-of-the-art

mobile devices, penetration of broadband and digital cinema, and a government that fully backs the sector.

Market Dynamics

The Indian print industry is the second largest in the world and is continuing to grow at a good rate. The segment

has enjoyed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7 per cent in recent years. There are over 82,000

newspapers in India with a daily circulation of over 100 million copies.

The industry is projected to grow at 11.8 per cent in 2013 to reach Rs 917 billion (US$ 14.79 billion). The sector

is also expected to achieve a CAGR of 15.2 per cent to touch Rs 1661 billion (US$ 26.79 billion) by 2017.

Total advertising expenditure across media was Rs 327.4 billion (US$ 5.28 billion) in 2012, contributing to 40

per cent of M&E sector revenues.

Advertising, Online and Mobile Entertainment

Times Internet (TIL), has signed a partnership with Ziff Davis Inc., an American publisher and Internet company

that attracts 120 million in-market buyers monthly. As part of the partnership, Times Internet will have exclusive

rights to the IGN and AskMen brands – the premium gaming and men's lifestyle sites respectively– and their

content in the country. This partnership will further enhance TIL's growth as a digital community for Indian

consumers who are avid followers of games, entertainment and lifestyle.

The Indian M&E industry is expected to grow 11.8 per cent to touch Rs 91,700 crore (US$ 14.78 billion) in 2013,

according to an industry report. Even though traditional media such as television and print are still the preferred

medium, other segments such as animation, visual effects, films and music are slowly establishing themselves in

the market.

Television and newspapers remain the people's preferred choice for entertainment, accounting for over four-

fifths of the advertising revenue. However, the online media is gaining ground. Expenditure on digital media

which was about 1 per cent of the total advertising spends in 2005 touched 7 per cent in 2012.

Investments

Indian consumers can now avail International news channel France 24 as a free-to-air channel on Doordarshan's

DTH platform, DD Direct + and Dish TV, after signing new distribution agreements in the country. The company

revealed that the deal will enable it to reach nearly 38 million TV households, from the earlier 7 million.

ICICI Venture, one of India's biggest equity firms, with assets of around US$ 2 billion, plans to invest about Rs 150

crore (US$ 24.18 million) in Adlabs Imagica, a theme park operated by Adlabs Entertainment Limited, on the

Mumbai–Pune expressway. This will be the equity firm's first investment in this field. Adlabs Imagica started in

April, 2013. It is a Rs 1,600-crore (258.09 million) theme park spread over 300 acres. It accommodates as many

as 20,000 visitors every day and aims to achieve 3 million visitors in its first year of running.

The M&E industry in South India could grow at a CAGR of 16 per cent and touch Rs 43,600 crore (US$ 7.04

billion) by 2016–17 from Rs 23,900 crore (US$ 3.85 billion) in 2012–13. This growth will be driven by the

popularity of vernacular content and the efforts by media vehicles to expand their presence. The South Indian

M&E market is led by television (56 per cent), followed by print (28 per cent) and films (11 per cent). Segments

such as new media and radio are also expected to grow at a better rate than the media average.

The online portal for the Bharat Nirman Campaign has been launched. The portal offers an interactive digital

platform for the creative campaign on several schemes and programmes. The portal allows the user to get

information about the schemes at a single place, apart from providing live integration with social media

platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Government Initiatives

The Indian government's push towards digitalisation and cable television by 2014, is expected to drive DTH and

digital cable growth. Also, sophisticated digital production and postproduction complemented by the willingness

of big corporate houses to invest in the film value chain is influencing the film segment in India. This is further

aided by the development of digital distribution and exhibition through the growth of multiplexes.

As part of ‘Friendly Exchanges' between the two Asian giants, India and China will mutually promote high level

media co-operation. There will be specific projects and proposals under the media domain to mark the

commemoration of ‘Friendly Exchanges' celebrations. India and China have strong M&E sectors. Sharing

experiences can only benefit both economies.

On a similar note, India and Senegal have enhanced their commitment to promote sustained cultural exchanges

by signing ‘Executive Programme for Cultural Cooperation' for the period 2013–15.

Road Ahead

In a reflection of India's growing influence, domestic television channels are increasing their networks

internationally. Channels such as Colors, Star Plus, SET and Zee TV are available in approximately 50, 70, 77 and

169 countries respectively.

In the previous financial year, the growth of the overall print industry was largely due to the Hindi and the

vernacular print markets. The Hindi print market grew from Rs 62 billion (US$ 1.00 billion) in 2011 to Rs 68

billion (US$ 1.09 billion) in 2012; the vernacular print medium witnessed a growth from Rs 63 billion (US$ 1.01

billion) in 2011 to Rs 69 billion (US$ 1.11 billion) in 2012.
