Subscription business to remain strong, Ad business to recover, IPL an additional boost! Q1 results in line with expectations Sun TV's Q1 FY21 numbers came in line with our expectations as Ad revenues fell sharply by 66% yoy.

Also absence of IPL led to yoy fall, as the base year included 2.44 bn of IPL revenues. Profitability at the bottomline was impacted due to higher amortization expenses.

EBITDA supported by lower opex; Subscription revenues trend higher

Motilal Oswal

15 August 2020 Sun TV Network (SUNTV)s revenue fell by 45% YoY, weighed by a plunge in ad revenues and the absence of an IPL season, but partly cushioned by subscription revenue growth. EBITDA fell 39%, partly offset by no fresh content production cost and SG&A; cost rationalization. We revise our FY21/FY22E EBITDA by 9%/8% as we factor IPL earnings in FY21E, better subscription revenues, and the benefit of sharp cost rationalization. SUNTVs 1QFY21 revenues declined by 45% YoY to INR6b (in-line), largely due to the postponement of the IPL season, through which the company had generated INR2.4b in 1QFY20. EBITDA thus declined 39% YoY to INR4.2b (38% above our estimate), supported by a reduction in operating cost, and EBITDA margins expanded 670bp YoY to 68.7%. Net profit thus fell by 25% YoY to INR2.8b (51% beat); PAT margins were at 47%, supported by other income and lower opex.

Ad outlook bleak; subscription growth remains high

Buy: Sun TV Network Ltd.

Target

Motilal Oswal

28 June 2020 Slowdown in ad spend, a high base of movie revenues, and loss of IPL revenues have led to an overall drop in revenues and EBITDA, partially offset by strong growth in subscription revenues. Ad revenue is expected to drop 20% going ahead in FY21E, while subscription revenues would grow at 12% in FY21E. Revenues were lower by 17% YoY at INR7.3b (in-line), largely attributed to a fall in ad revenues by 15% YoY, a high base of movie revenues in the corresponding quarter, and nil revenues from IPL games (INR570m) as the season has been postponed on account of the COVID-19 crisis. EBITDA, thus, fell 17% YoY to INR5b (in-line), whereas EBITDA margins stood firm at 68.5% (flat YoY). Depreciation charges were higher due to high amortization charges for movie premiers; thus, PBT fell 25% YoY to INR3.2b. FY20 revenues/EBITDA fell 7%/13% YoY to INR34b/INR22b, and margins contracted by 430bps to 65.7%.

On the viewership front, all major channels extended their market share in the range of 7-10%. It benefitted from TV premiere of new movies.
