For 4QFY2013, Idea Cellular (Idea) reported a strong set of results, beating our as well as market expectations on all fronts. The companys total network minutes grew considerably by 8.5% qoq, leading to a growth in network traffic to 143bn min. The average revenue per minute (ARPM) remained flat at `0.41 with non-voice revenues share inching up to 15.2% from 14.6% in 3QFY2013. Idea announced its maiden dividend of `0.3 per share (~9% pay-out), suggesting a strong cash generation outlook. We maintain our Neutral view on the stock. Quarterly highlights: For 4QFY2013, Idea reported a consolidated revenue of `6,061cr, up 8.7% qoq, on the back of a sharp qoq increase in minutes of usage (MOU) to 406min, up 5.7% qoq. The companys EBITDA margin increased by 119bp qoq to 27.6%. The EBITDA margin inch up was led by strong revenue growth along with almost flat network operating charges, qoq. The PAT came in at `308cr, up 35% qoq, led by strong operational performance and lower interest charges qoq at `224cr vs `242cr in 3QFY2013. Outlook and valuation: Ideas 4QFY2013 results underscore declining competitive intensity and low volume elasticity, which should support strong EBITDA growth for Indian wireless incumbents. Most operators, including Idea, have been rationalizing pre-paid tariffs as RPM and profitability improvement remains a key focus area across the industry. Going forward, we expect ARPMs to improve as Idea hikes tariff via reduction of promotional offers. This should offset the rising input and regulatory costs. With a hike in tariff rates expected going ahead, we have factored in a 12% yoy revenue growth for FY2014. We expect revenues to witness an 11.0% CAGR over FY2013-15. The capex guidance for FY2014 stands at `3,500cr. The consolidated net debt of Idea declined ~1% qoq to `11,092cr. Idea continues to have one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector with net debt/EBITDA of ~1.9x and net debt/equity of ~0.8x at the consolidated level but the company still remains surrounded by regulatory uncertainties with regards one-time spectrum fee, 3G roaming pacts cancellations and spectrum refarming. Currently, we maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

Thus, increase in MOU, stable ARPM and modest subscriber addition led to a 5.7% qoq increase in average revenue per user (ARPU) to `167. Data ARPU increased to `55 from `52 in 3QFY2013. The monthly churn declined to 4.3% from 6.9% in 3QFY2013, which is again coming back to comfort levels after last seven quarters. Decline in monthly churn represents rationality in promotions and discounts; lower churn level would play a significant role towards overall ARPM improvement.
