Investment Arguments
Strong viewership ranking in Hindi and English news genre
TTNL enjoys a strong viewership ranking in the Hindi and English news channel
categories. The company’s Hindi news channel - Aaj Tak has maintained its
market leadership position for several consecutive years in terms of viewership and
continues to dominate by being the channel of choice during unfolding of key
national as well as international events. Further, TTNL’s English news channel -
India Today has been continuously gaining viewership ranking; it has now
captured the No. 2 spot from No. 4 earlier. Its other channels like Dilli Aaj Tak
and Tez are also popular among viewers.
TTNL to benefit from TV industry (ad + subscription revenue)
growth of ~16% CAGR over CY14-19E
Going forward we expect the TV industry to report a 16% CAGR over CY2014-19E
on back of increased advertisement allocations by the corporates, government,
and E-Commerce set ups, which are a significant new category. We also expect an
improvement in subscription revenue due to digitization of phase 3 & 4. Since the
last 6-7 quarters, FMCG and automobile companies which incur significantly high
ad spends, are underperforming due to weak consumer buying sentiments in rural
areas (owing to two prior consecutive years of poor monsoon). However, we are
now seeing some improvement in TV ad spends in anticipation of an improvement
in the rural economy with the country having received optimal monsoons this year.
On this account TTNL will stand to benefit.
Complete exit from Radio business to improve profitability
TTNL had 7radio stations which were continuously incurring losses year after year
(in FY2016, the Radio business accrued an EBIT level loss of `13.5cr). Out of the
7 radio stations, TTNL has sold off 4 (Jodhpur, Amritsar, Patiala and Shimla) for
`4cr. The remaining 3 stations are in the process of getting sold off to ENIL but the
sale will have to wait until concerns raised by the MIB are resolved. Going forward,
we expect them to be sold off and this would prop up the company’s profitability.

TV Today Network | 2QFY2017 Result Update
Outlook and Valuation
We expect TTNL to report a net revenue CAGR of ~15% to ~`718cr and net profit
to post a CAGR of ~15% to `124cr over FY2016-18E. The company has sustained
its leadership position in the Hindi news genre for 14 consecutive years; while in
the English news genre, it currently holds the No. 2 position. Further, its exit from
the radio business should boost profitability. The company is debt free with `201cr
of cash on its balance sheet. Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the
stock with a target price of `385.
Downside risks to our estimates include
1)
Loss of leadership in viewership could affect the company’s advertisement
revenue.
2)
Overall slowdown in the Indian economy could lead to a cut in ad spend
allocations by corporates which could potentially hurt TTNL’s revenues.
3)
Any delay in digitalization could impact the company’s subscription revenue
growth.
