REDUCE
IOCL (IOCL)
Energy AUGUST 09, 2017
RESULT
Coverage view: Attractive

Margin clarification takes the sheen away. IOCLs clarification on refining margins Price (`): 413
implied 1QFY18 results were weaker than what was understood earlier. It also explains Target price (`): 435
the deviation in implicit refining performance during quarters of large inventory
BSE-30: 32,014
fluctuation for IOCL (and perhaps for HPCL). We marginally tweak estimates and retain
REDUCE with TP of `435. We will wait for better entry points, given near-term
overhang of GST-related stranded taxes and our concerns on marketing profitability.

Apt disclosure of margins moderates 1QFY18 outperformance for IOCL (maybe for HPCL too)
IOCLs normalized net income of `42 bn in 1QFY18 looks more reasonable compared to our
estimate of `39 bn, based on the managements clarification that the normalized refining
margins were US$6.4/bbl instead of US$7.7/bbl implied by disclosed inventory loss of `28 bn.
The company revisited its calculations to adjust the incidental impact from periodic revision in
refinery-transfer price (fortnightly or monthly) as compared to daily change in crude/product
prices, which benefits the OMCs in declining price environment (and vice versa). This explains
the sharp deviation in underlying refining performance for IOCL (and perhaps for HPCL, as
highlighted in our recent note) during quarters of large inventory fluctuation.
Other takeawaysentry tax liability of `82 bn, Paradip improvement, GST impact of `40-50 bn
IOCLs payable entry tax liability has reduced to `82 bn from `132 bn, as it settled provisional
amount of ~`50 bn with Haryana government for `22 bn, while writing back `28 bn in P&L.
Paradip refinery achieved refining margins of US$5.4/bbl, which is expected to improve
further fully by 3QFY18. The operating performance showed improvement with (1) higher
utilization at 88% versus 82.7% in 4QFY17, (2) increase in distillate yield to 79.9% from
77.8% in the previous quarter and (3) decline in fuel and loss to 11.6% from 12.9% earlier.
The off-take pipeline was fully commissioned and refinery achieved 105% utilization in July.
IOCL (and other OMCs) continue to seek set-off mechanism from the government for GST-
related stranded taxes of `40-50 bn; OMCs are yet to pass it on to the end-consumers.
Debt declined sharply to `349 bn as of June 30, 2017 from `548 bn as of end-FY2017,
reflecting (1) normalization of provisions related to advance taxes and duties, paid towards
end of the fiscal year, (2) reduction in working capital requirement due to lower crude prices,
(3) subsidy receipts from the government and (4) likely lower cash capex in 1QFY18. Tarun Lakhotia

The company has guided to a higher capital expenditure of `200 bn in FY2018 including Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0875
(1) `45 bn on refining, (2) `60 bn on marketing, (3) `19 bn on pipeline, (4) `12 bn on
Akshay Bhor
petchem and (5) `30 bn on E&P projects including potential acquisitions. akshay.bhor@kotak.com
Fine-tune estimates Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0876

We revise EPS estimates to `38.1 (-2%) in FY2018 and `41.1 (-1%) in FY2019 to factor in
(1) 1QFY17 performance, (2) revised exchange rate assumptions and (3) other minor changes.
Our SoTP-based TP remains unchanged at `435 on 6.5X EV/EBITDA plus the value of
investments.

Earnings strong, volume growth moderates

Dalmia Bharat reported consolidated revenues of `20.6 bn (+17% yoy, -6% qoq), EBITDA of
`5.6 bn (+12% yoy, +1% qoq) and net-income of `1.6 bn (+74% yoy, -11% qoq), against our
estimate of `20.8 bn, `5.6 bn and `1.7 bn. EBITDA/ton increased 15% qoq to `1,395/ton
(+6% yoy) aided by improved realizationsblended realizations increased 10% yoy to
`5,160/ton (+7% qoq). Cost (per ton) increased 12% yoy to `3,760 (+5% qoq) led by higher
fuel costs due to increase in pet-coke prices. Cement volumes increased 6% yoy to 4 mn tons
(-12% qoq) on generally weak industry offtakethe management highlighted that volume
growth for the industry in their markets increased 4% yoy.

De-leveraging playing out, creates room for new opportunities

Dalmia earned cash profit of `4.2 bn in the quarter (`3.4 bn in 1QFY17) which helped lower
net-debt to `46 bn in June 2017 from `52.4 bn in March 2017. The leverage ratio now stands
at net debt-to-EBITDA of 2.4X. Debt repayment during the quarter was `3.3 bn and over `11
bn over the past 12 months. We note that the management has traditionally maintained that
new opportunities can be looked at once net debt-to-EBITDA is reduced to below 2X and
utilization of extant capacities ramps-up reasonably.

Maintain ADD rating with a revised target price of `2,780/share Murtuza Arsiwalla

We maintain our positive stance on Dalmia Bharat with a revised target price of `2,780/share Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0870

Other highlights from 1QFY18 results


Moderated volume growth, lower clinker sales impact dispatches. Dalmia reported
growth in cement volumes for 1QFY18 at 6% yoy to 4 mn tons, lower than the double-
digit volume growth reported by the company in preceding periods. We highlight that
while the company maintained ahead-of-industry growth rates, the moderation reflects
(1) overall industry weakness especially in the markets of Tamil Nadu that were impacted
by drought, (2) moderation as the preceding periods saw ramp-up of newly
commissioned capacities, (3) lower clinker sales during the quarter as core cement sales
still grew 8% yoy, and (4) impact of weak off-take preceding GST implementation.

Realizations show strength, but expect moderation in 2QFY18. Dalmia Bharat


reported blended realizations of `5,160/ton (+10% yoy,+7% qoq)strength reflecting
an increase in cement prices in the companys key markets in South & East. Prices have
since seen some moderation and will reflect in moderate decline in 2QFY18.

Costspower and fuel cost increase. Dalmias production cost increased by 15% yoy
to `3,957/ton (-3% qoq) led by higher power and fuel cost. The ramp-up of clinker
production in North East helped reduce raw material cost, though increase in cost of slag
from `800/ton to `1,200/ton partially offset the gains. Power and fuel cost continues to
be on the rise reflecting the increase in pet-coke prices, though we believe that the
impact of increase in pet-coke prices is reflected in the earnings and see little incremental
impact from here.

Gold loan book up
Earnings beat estimates 8% yoy

Muthoot Finance (Muthoot) reported PAT of 3.5 bn, up 30% yoy and 15% ahead of
estimates. While gold loan growth was muted at 8% yoy to 278 bn, NIM expansion (80 bps
yoy) boosted NII. Strong expense controls (likely linked to lower growth) led to 30 bps yoy
improvement in expenses/assets ratio to 4.5%.

Profitability improves

Muthoots annualized RoE expanded to 21%, highest since 2QFY14. This is largely driven by
strong NIM as a consequence of falling interest rates and better (calculated) asset yields.
Notably, in the past, Muthoot, as a prudential policy, stopped income recognition on loans if
the effective LTV (including accrued interest and considering market price of gold) appeared
high. Thus, in a falling gold price regime, its NIMs were under pressure and vice versa.
Muthoots reported borrowing cost has declined 160 bps yoy to 9.3%, likely driven by
(1) reduction in high-cost gold bonds to 10% of borrowings from 18% in 1QFY17 and (2) a
decline in bank base/MCLR rates even as share of bank loans has been stable at 41% of total
borrowings.

The other factor driving profitability improvement is control over operating expenses. Typically,
Muthoots expense ratios (likely linked to sales) tend to go up when book growth increases but
the company is smartly able to pull down expenses when momentum slows down.

Focus shifting to subsidiaries


Muthoot Finances loan growth has been linked to buoyancy in gold prices. The company
has started building businesses outside the gold loan sector a strategy similar to that of
Manappuram.

Muthoot Homefin (88% subsidiary of Muthoot in June 2017, 100% hereon) has loan book
of 6 bn and Belstar Investment and Finance (64% subsidiary) of Muthoot has a loan book
of 6.3 bn. These two companies comprised 4% of Muthoots consolidated loan book in
4QFY17 and the company has guided for the ratio to increase to 8-10% of consolidated
loan book by March 2018; momentum in these businesses was strong in 1Q, likely on the
way to achieve managements stated targets. Additionally, Muthoot has a small subsidiary in
Sri Lanka.

These businesses are acquired and managed independently by separate teams. Muthoot,
being engaged in asset-backed lending, does not have experience of appraisal of customers
income/cash flows, which is required in case of home loans. It is hence difficult to take a call
on its underwriting.

We have not modeled these companies in our forecasts.

AUM growth of 8% yoy and up 2% qoq


Gold prices were up just 0.5% qoq in 1QFY18 and down 5% yoy. Historic trends suggest
that gold loan growth is very volatile and has high linkages with gold price movements. With
no strong directional view on gold prices, we model moderate growth of 13-16% in our
forecasts. The company is increasingly focusing on non-gold segments, which through
provide diversification pose a risk to nascent and fast-growing portfolio.

NIM up 80 bps yoy

Muthoot reported NIM of 12.2% in 1QFY18, 17% in 4QFY17 as compared to 11.4% in


1QFY17. 4QFY17 NIM was exceptionally high due to one-off impact as explained below.

Most gold loans of Muthoot have tenure of 12 months. In most cases, loan has a bullet
repayment; assuming 120 dpd NPL norms, its accrued interest before a loan can be
classified as NPL, can be up to a period of 16 months. In the past, Muthoot may stop
interest recognition if LTV (including accrued interest) crosses its comfort LTV levels. Post
discussion with income tax authorities, the company decided to recognize all income and
then make a relevant provision against the same. The one-time impact of the same was
reflected in 4QFY17 calculated lending rate was up to 25% from 20-21% over the last
few quarters.

A key notable improvement is on the liability side. Reported cost of borrowings was down
40 bps to 9.3% largely due to increase in share of NCDs (25% from 18% in 4QFY17).

We expect Muthoot to pass on the benefit of lower interest rate to its borrowers. At the
same time, we expect competition to continue. We are hence factoring compression in
interest spread to 9.2% in FY2020E from a higher base of 10.4% in FY2017.

Gross NPL inch up slightly

Reported GNPL ratio increased ~20 bps qoq. Muthoot reported GNPLs of 6.3 bn
(2.3% of loans) in 1QFY18, up from 5.6 bn (2.1% of loans) in 4QFY17. The increase in
NPL may be seasonal in nature. We await further clarification from the management.

Provision coverage of 16% is in line with 14-16% range over the past 2-3 years. We
expect provisions to be a bit higher due to its new policy to recognize higher income and
make extra provisions against the same. Eventual credit losses will, however, remain
unchanged.

Strong cost control


Operating costs increased 2% yoy, as staff costs declined 7% yoy while non-staff expenses
increased 18% yoy.

Cost to assets ratio declined to 4.5% from 4.9% in 4QFY17 and 4.8% in 1QFY18.

Muthoot has been showing good level of cost control in recent quarters with cost ratios
(% of AUM) have been around 4.4-4.9% range compared to 5.1-5.3% in FY2015. We
expect expenses to increase by 11-12% over FY2018-20E, translating into cost to asset ratio
of 3.8% by FY2020E from 4.3% in FY2017.

1QFY18 earningspower earnings improve while steel & overseas coal mining were weak

Jindal Steel & Power reported consolidated EBITDA of `13.5 bn (+36% yoy, -13% qoq), 8%
lower than our estimate. Standalone EBITDA of `7.5 bn (+13% yoy, -18% qoq) was 10% lower
than our estimate due to weak steel realizations (-3% qoq). Besides, the decline in earnings at
Australian mining operations from discontinued extraction due to mining contractors
insolvency also led to EBITDA miss. Weak earnings in these businesses were partially offset by
strong growth in powerEBITDA increased 23% qoq to `4.7 bn (+157% yoy) led by higher
generation (+36% qoq, +47% yoy) and lower costs.
The company reported net loss of `3.9 bn (`4.5 bn adjusted net loss in 1QFY17) against our
estimate of `3.7 bn. Depreciation charge declined 4% qoq to `9.6 bn.

Standalone steel operationsweak realizations, subdued deliveries

Standalone steel deliveries increased 4% yoy to 810,000 tons (-12% qoq) and was lower than
the production of 900,000 tons (+7% yoy). The company highlighted that demand for TMT
rebars and wire rods remained weak; we highlight that as per JPC data steel demand growth of
close to 5% for April-June 2017 was largely led by flat products. JSPs deliveries were also
subdued as customer off-take was weak on run-up to GST implementation and there was
destocking across the supply chain. Realizations declined by `1,500/ton qoq resulting in
EBITDA/ton falling by 7% qoq to `9,250/ton (+9% yoy, KIE: `9,900/ton).

Power earnings improve on higher generation; Blast furnace commissioned in August 2017

Jindal Powers earnings increased 23% qoq to `4.7 bn largely on the back of 36% qoq increase
Abhishek Poddar
in power generation to 3,186 mn units (+47% yoy). Early summer onset and good seasonal abhishek.poddar@kotak.com
demand led to more off-take from thermal power plantsthe increase in companys sales was Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0861
aided by higher power sales to exchanges. The company stated that net debt was maintained at

last quarters levels (`455 bn in March 2017). samrat.verma@kotak.com
Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0869
The Angul Blast furnace was under trial runs in the previous quarter after being lit in May 2017.
The company commissioned the BF on August 7, 2017. Weak earnings in the standalone steel
business in 1QFY18 were due to lower demand from the run-up to GST and monsoons.
We expect steel earnings to improve starting 3QFY18 post monsoons and Angul BF ramp-up.
We will update our estimate post the earnings call.

Other highlights from the results

Oman steel plant. The EBITDA at Oman was flat qoq at US$32 mn (US$34 mn in
1QFY17). Crude steel production increased by 3% yoy to 360,000 tons.

Mining operationsweak earnings. There was sharp decline in earnings in


international mining operations due to discontinued operations in Australia. Note that
Australian operations earned EBITDA of AU$30 mn in 4QFY17 (also aided by Fx gains)
which have likely turned to losses due to suspension of mining operations from
contractor issues. The company expects Australian mining operations to resume from
August 2017.

Increase in authorized share capital. JSPs board, subject to shareholders approval has
increased in the authorized share capital from `2 bn to `3 bn through additional `1 bn in
preference shares. The board has also approved the issue of further securities not
exceeding `50 bn and issuance of NCDs for `50 bn.

Results review: Operating cash flow positive, but marginally

Collections and annuity income for 1QFY18 stood at `5.3 bn, with higher operating expenses
pulling down operating cash flow (marginally positive for the quarter). Capex increased to
`1.3 bn as Brigade commenced work on Brigade Tech Gardens, Bangalore. `5 bn of equity was
raised during 1Q; debt increased by `1.2 bn. One new project commenced revenue recognition.
Also, Brigade has appointed a new CFO, Mr Pradeep KP.

Operations review: Weak start to the year

Brigade sold 0.31 mn sq. ft in 1QFY18 for a value of `1.8 bn, its weakest quarterly performance
in the past four years. This is despite three new launches (of over 2 mn sq. ft) across various
markets in Bangalore and Chennai. Most of the sales were reported from Brigade Beuna Vista
(officially launched in 1Q, but under soft marketing for a while). The other two launches
reported dismal sales. Deliveries stood high as Brigade completed 2.6 mn sq. ft of projects.

The company commenced construction on the entire 3.3 mn sq. ft of Brigade Tech Gardens
(SEZ), Bangalore. It also began pre-construction activity and awarding contracts at Brigade WTC,
Chennai. Holiday Inn Chennai commenced commercial operations during 1QFY18. Brigade has
guided to launch residential and commercial projects for sale across 4.1 mn sq. ft in 9MFY18.
It also intends to commence construction on two hotel properties.

Guidance on sales

Unsold area offered for sale stands at 7.34 mn sq. ft, 0.92 mn sq. ft of which are from
completed projects. We expect more clarity on FY2018 pre-sales guidance from the
management conference call, including its strategy on the sale of unsold area of completed
projects. Our sales estimates for FY2018 stand at `12.4 bn as we expect new launches and
sales at completed projects to perform. Samar Sarda

EBITDA miss on Ind-AS-related impact and weak performance of HR services


TeamLeases 1QFY18 EBITDA of 130 mn missed our estimates by 13% on Ind-AS-related
adjustments (primarily ESOP costs of ~0.5 mn) and lower-than-expected revenue and
profitability of the HR services segment. Staffing segment performance was robust with overall
headcount (associate employees + apprentices) increasing by 14% yoy.

GST medium-term positive though may lead to some short-term pressure


Management mentioned that post GST implementation, they have not seen any major increase
in enquiries from clients who are busy in sorting out GST-related paperwork. They expect some
pickup to happen only towards the end of the year when companies can effectively start
tracking the punctuality of their vendors in filing tax returns, which would enable them to claim
input tax credit. Management mentioned that the telecom vertical, which is ~11% of their
associate employee base, is seeing some pressure owing to consolidation in the industry, and
this may have some impact on 2QFY18 associate employee count.
Section 80JJAA tax benefits no sunset clause
The interpretation of Section 80JJAA tax benefits seems to be finally reaching a consensus with
TeamLease and its peers guiding for: (1) 30% deduction on the salary of new employees
available for three years, (2) incremental benefit for the new employees added in a particular
year, and (3) no sunset clause on the benefit, as long as companies add employees on a net
basis. For instance, in FY2018, TeamLease can claim tax benefits for employees added in both
FY2017 and FY2018, subject to a cap of its taxable income. We thus raise our FY2020 EPS by
38% as we ascribe this tax benefit, as opposed to regular tax rate earlier (we were building tax
benefit over FY2017-19 only). We have cut FY2018 EPS by 4% to incorporate Ind-AS-related
adjustments (higher ESOP expense and amortization of intangibles).

Target price raised to 1,480 to factor in tax benefits; retain ADD


We raise our TP to 1,480 primarily as we now incorporate tax benefits until FY2025. We note
Garima Mishra
that our computation of tax benefits for TeamLease employs a fair amount of subjectivity. In our

model, TeamLeases average employee cost reaches 25,000 by FY2023 (the salary cap for Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0862
which tax benefits are available); we thus assume tax benefits to taper off by FY2025 (sunset of
FY2023 tax benefits). Usual disclaimers apply tax benefits may be lower than expected on
lower gross employee addition and other conditions including a sunset clause, which the
government may impose. We retain ADD as TeamLease remains well-positioned to benefit from
the formalization of a large labor market.

Earnings call takeaways

GST benefit would manifest in two ways either unorganized players become organized,
thereby leading to lesser pricing pressure for the likes of TeamLease; or they go out of
business, which leads to a market-share gain by organized staffing companies. The
market-share gain process can pick up pace towards end of FY2018 when employers
start taking cognizance of their vendors tax filing performance.

Certain companies that were not employing temporary staff due to additional service tax
payment requirement can now do so as they will get full input tax credit on the GST paid
on such services.

Uniform wage code, which mandates a minimum wage of ~18,000 for all employees is
a negative for the formal sector staffing sector. The company is representing against the
same.

Earnings changes

Our FY2018 EPS is cut by 4% as we incorporate Ind-AS-related changes.

Our FY2019 EPS estimate gets raised by 5% due to higher tax benefit (flow-through
impact of employees added in the previous year).

We were giving TeamLease the benefit of Section80JJAA tax benefits only until FY2019.
However, based on the companys revised guidance we accord these benefits for a longer
time horizon; consequently we raise our FY2020 EPS estimate by 38%.

Our TP increase to 1,480 (from 1,245) primarily on account of incorporation of tax


benefits until FY2025 (FY2019 earlier). We note this assumption is fairly subjective, as the
tax benefit calculation is dependent on the gross employee addition, their salaries
(employees earning more than 25,000 a month are not eligible), etc. The government
putting in a sunset clause, or any other amendments, remains key variables.

Business on a strong footing; focused bets to steer the company ahead

Zees strong performance over FY2013-17 was led by an increase in network viewership share
to 17% from 12%. The management attributed its success to (1) strategy to lead
fragmentation and (2) stable team for key revenue and creative functions. We expect Zees
outperformance to continuerecent comeback of Zee TVs ratings and continued strength in
regional genres positions it well. Increase in programming hours on Zee TV and &TV and new
launches (Malayalam GEC and movie channels in Kannada, Tamil) would enable further market
share gains in the medium term. Zee stepped up investments on movie acquisition; a balanced
mix of movies (blockbuster and library) can support healthy growth and profitability. Overall,
Zee can deliver above-industry ad growth and 15% growth in domestic subscription revenue.
Ad environment in July was weaker than in June due to GST implementation. Expect weak 2Q.

Digitalgearing for a refresh; Zee has the ingredients, execution holds the key to success

Zee has stepped up investments, is augmenting team and is in the process of refreshing its
digital platform (OTT) in 2H. Its platform will have a large collection of movies, exclusive digital
content (original + 3rd party) for kids and youth, and existing TV content. All revenue models
(AVOD, SVOD and TVOD) will co-exist. Zees investment in Margo networks would enable
efficient distribution of digital content. Zee is open to acquisitions in media content and media
tech space. In our view, it will take a long time for subscription-based model to evolve in India.
Ad supported model calls for measured and well-calibrated investments in content. Key success
factor would be the ability to produce quality content for a digital audience at scale. We believe
Zee has the right ingredients and the extent of success will hinge on execution and willingness
to invest. Having lost the first-mover advantage, Zee is cognizant of the need for investments.

Rich valuations well-deserved

Zees strategy, execution, continuous investments, profitability and structural improvements Jaykumar Doshi
(digitization) give us comfort. We expect Zee to deliver above-industry revenue growth and 33- jaykumar.doshi@kotak.com
Mumbai: +91-22-4336-0863
34% EBITDA margin (excluding investments in digital) for the foreseeable future. Valuations are
rich but sustainable given high earnings visibility. Successful execution on the digital front would
hold key to sustainability of valuations in the long-term; we believe Zee has the potential and
will watch its digital refresh closely. We value Zee at 28X Jun-19 earnings (excl. RPS impact).

Key takeaways from NDR

Zee TVslippage, corrective measures, comeback and plans ahead. Flagship


channel Zee TVs viewership slipped in 2HFY17. The management attributed it to
mistakes in content strategy. The change in leadership and subsequent course correction
in content strategy helped Zee TV make a strong comeback. We note that Zee TV is back
to #2 spot in the month of July. The management indicated that it has plans to increase
original programming to 28 hrs/week from current 25 hrs/week by the end of Sep-17
quarter.

&TVinvestments, performance and expectations. Zee management indicated that it


expects &TV (its second Hindi GEC TV) to break-even in FY2019 in line with its initial
guidance of break-even within three years. Zees cumulative investments (operating
losses) in &TV would be close to the lower end of the guidance of `7-10 bn loss. We note
that viewership share of &TV has stagnated at 6% despite a healthy share of 4-5% in its
opening week (March 2015). The management has increased programming hours on
&TV to 26 hrs/week in the recent past and it targets 10% viewership share in Hindi GEC.

Regional portfoliosuccess in Tamil and expansion plans. Zee Tamils viewership


share has increased to about 15% from 5% over the past 15 months after almost eight
years of investments without much luck. Zee management attributed the success to the
new team that runs Zee Tamil; it is confident of the good work to continue. All other
regional channels are performing well. Zee has plans to close a few gaps in its regional
portfolio in the medium term(1) launch of Malayalam GEC in Kerala market, (2) movie
channels in regional genres where it operates GEC but does not have a movie channel
(Kannada and Tamil).

Domestic subscription revenue growthexpect 15% CAGR irrespective of


implementation of TRAI tariff order. Zee management reiterated its guidance of
15% CAGR in domestic subscription revenues over the next three to five years led by
(1) monetization in phase III markets, (2) increase in TV penetration from 64% and HD
penetration, (3) modest improvement in monetization in phase I-II markets, and
(4) gradual monetization from phase IV markets. On the court case, pertaining to TRAI
tariff order, the High Court verdict would be out within a couple of months but the
management expects the losing party to approach the Supreme Court. As per Zee
management, the matter can remain sub-judice for at least six to nine months if not
more. Separately, Zee management indicated that it is confident of similar growth
trajectory even if it were to implement TRAI tariff order.

International subscription revenue growthflat to low single digit in c/c terms.


Zee management caters to South Asian diaspora in international markets. The
management indicated that its penetration is already high and this market is saturated.
Growth in international subscription revenue would be flat to low single digits in c/c
terms. Zee intends to cater to this market through its OTT platform. Digital offering and
content will help it attract new viewers and increase subscription yields as compared to
traditional distribution platform (we note traditional distributors retain the bulk of the
ARPU).

International ad revenue growthsluggish in the near term. Zees international ad


revenue growth has been impacted by weakness in the Middle East market and ban of
advertising on foreign channels in Bangladesh. The management is working to resolve the
latter but is unable to guide on timelines as of now.

Profitability. Zees ex-sports EBITDA margin of 33% in FY2017 was slightly suppressed
by investments in new initiatives. The management indicated that but for investments, it
its underlying EBITDA margin is 35-36%. That said, it reiterated EBITDA margin guidance
of 30%+ in view of its intent to reinvest margins in excess of 30% in the business. Key
investments in 2HFY18 would be in refreshing its OTT offering. We note that our margin
estimate of 33.1-33.8% for FY2018/19 does not factor in digital investment as exact
timelines and quantum of investments are not known. Given this, there is about 150-200
bps risk to our margin forecast.

Management thoughts on digital. Zee views digital platform as a medium to engage


with a new audience that is not present on TV. As per the CEO, people born in India after
2005 are not TV viewers. Digital presents an opportunity to content owners/producers to
reach out to this new audience. Digital will supplement TV in the near term; as per BARC
data time spent on TV has not dropped over the past nine months since the launch of
RJio even as data consumption has increased to 9X over the past nine to -12 months.
That said, the management does concede that in the medium to long term the shift of
consumption from linear to digital platform would result in cannibalization of revenues.
Zee views itself as an entertainment content company with the ability to produce close to
500 hours of original content per week across nine languages (Zee Networks weekly
production on TV).

Key competitors in digital ecosystem. Zee views market leader, Hotstar, as the key
competitor of its OZEE platform. Given the limited potential of subscription-based model
in India, it does not see Netflix making inroads in the Indian market in a big way. Amazon
Prime and Voot are other platforms it is closely watching.

Increase in inventory, loans & advances and cash generation. Zee has stepped up its
investment in movies following its exit from sports broadcasting. The management
indicated that the increase in inventory and loans and advances in FY2017 was largely
pertaining to outgo for acquisition of movie rights (and small working capital investment
in movie production business). As per our estimates, cumulative outgo on movies was
about `9 bn in FY2017 as against `3-4 bn/year in the previous 2-3 years. It was towards
acquisition of (1) satellite/digital rights of new movies and a basket of old movies across
Hindi and regional genres, and (2) advances paid for rights of upcoming movies. The
management has indicated that its investments in movies would remain elevated in
FY2018 and perhaps in FY2019 following which it expects moderation. Increase in
working capital and acquisitions would weigh on cash generation in FY2018.

Betting big on movies. Movies are an important part of Zees content offering. The
management indicated that its movie genre has grown faster than the companys ad
growth. The payback period of tentpole (blockbuster) movies is elongated (say 3-5 years),
but the payback of a library of old movies is about a year. A mix of new and old movies is
required for running movie channels; if the mix is balanced well it can support
profitability. We note that Zees elevated investments in movies is partly in view of its
plans to launch regional movie channels in Tamil and Kannada markets and partly on
account of digital rights acquired for OTT platform.

Movie production. Zee plans to produce 10-11 movies this year across a number of
languages. Its endeavor is to produce 25 movies annually in the medium term. The
management indicated that typically, it will produce/co-produce about two movies having
production cost in the range of `600-800 mn. All other movies would have much lower
budgets. The management indicated that working capital locked in this business is about
`1 bn as of now and peak working capital requirement of this business would be `2.5
bn.

Exit from sports. The key reasons for exit from the sports business were(1) Break-even
in sports business was a moving goalpost. Zee operated sports broadcasting for about 10
years and experienced break-even targets being pushed back a number of times due to
very high inflation in sports content costs, (2) Consideration offered for sports business
was compelling and it generated healthy return for Zee after factoring cumulative
investments in the business, (3) lastly, Zee is free to re-enter sports broadcasting after a
non-compete of four years if at all outlook changes dramatically.

Content contracts with Reliance Jio. Zee signed a 1-year content contract with RJio in
early/mid-2016 prior to the launch of RJios mobile services. The management indicated
that last years contract was at a negligible price. It is presently renegotiating its content
agreement with RJio. Zee views itself as a content entertainment company and it does
not mind providing its content to RJio so long as it gets satisfactory subscription revenue
from it.

Capital allocation. Zee management indicated that it intends to keep cash and cash
equivalents of `10 bn and return excess cash generated to investors. Zee cash and cash
equivalents stood at `35.3 bn as at Jun-17 end. Of this, about `21 bn would go towards
full redemption of all redeemable preference shares subject to board approval. We note
that, in the recent annual report, Zee has articulated its dividend policy of 25-30%
dividend payout ratio.

Near-term ad outlook2Q could be weaker than 1Q. Zee management indicated


that its ad revenue growth had recovered after demonetization to 14-15% in the of April
and May. However, it declined in June as advertisers pushed back campaigns ahead of
GST implementation. July was weaker than June for TV advertising. Given this, ad growth
in 2Q could be weaker than in 1Q. That said, we note that recovery in Zee TVs
viewership would aid ad growth in 2Q with some lag.
