Topline to grow at a CAGR of 12% between FY13‐15E with stable EBITDA margins: Eros has registered a 13% growth in total revenues of Rs.1067 cr in
FY13. We expect the revenues of Eros will report at a CAGR of 12% during FY13‐15E on the back of theatrical revenue, sale of satellite rights and ancillary revenue.
Going forward we expect the EBITDAM to remain stable at approx 22% for FY14E and FY15E while PAT to report Rs.163.70 cr & Rs. 201.30 cr in FY14E & FY15E respectively.
Outlook & Recommendation: Eros has a strategized business model, strong content pipeline and
new initiatives to monetize content library defining healthy financials. The India M&E industry growth at a considerable rate, greater penetration of multiplexes in Tier II and Tier III markets, increasing penetration of digital & internet subscribers and increasing disposable income together is going to prove beneficial for Eros in coming future.
We recommend ‘BUY’ rating on the stock with the 15 month target price of Rs.220 per share, implying an upside of ~30% from the CMP of Rs.169. We have arrived at the target by assigning to P/E methodology of 10x.

Domestic theatricals will continue to be the major growth driver for the Indian film industry while Ancillary Streams will also grow rapidly although it has a smaller base. 2012 witnessed 9 films crossing the desirable Rs.1 bn mark, as compared to only 5 films in 2011. The aspirations have been set higher after the box office collection of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (approx Rs.1.90 bn) close to Rs.2 bn. Continuous success on the box office driven by strong content and expansion of multiplexes is expected to establish Rs.10 bn as the new benchmark for success. It is not only Hindi films which are contributing to the Rs.1 bn club but also the regional cinema. A Tamil action thriller film ‘Thuppakki’ was not only a blockbuster in the Southern market, but collected Rs.1 bn within 11 days of its release worldwide. ‘Thuppakki’ collected Rs.11.8 mn in UK and Rs.17.6 mn in USA in its first week of release. The increasing preference amongst consumers for local taste in content has seen regional cinema growing over the years.
The Overseas segment experienced a moderate growth of approx 10% in 2012. UK, USA and
Middle East together generated about 70% of the international revenues. USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and U.A.E accounted for 98% of all the overseas revenue for the top 20 Bollywood movies of 2012. In the Tamil film industry, for the top 10 movies, Malaysia generated 75% of the revenues.
Television clearly continues to be the dominant segment, however new media sectors has also emerged as a growth driver. The impact of new media revenue for music companies reach critical mass, Youtube became a significant revenue driver, the App economy in India began to take off and OTT models (Over‐the‐top) are being experimented for TV. There is a renewed push on 3G and limited launches of 4G services – which are likely to go wider in the coming years. This should provide content companies a whole new platform to reach, entertain and – engage its audience in a country of billion.
The M&E sector in India has tremendous dynamism and growth prospective to perform at its full
potential. Increasing consumption in tier II and III cities, growing importance of regional markets, greater focus on market research, innovation in content and evolution of marketing and delivery platforms will enable the Indian M&E sector to reach new heights and become truly global. Also, the impetus introduced by digitization, continued growth of regional media, strength in the film sector and rapidly increasing new media businesses, the industry is estimated to achieve a growth rate of approx 11.8% in CY2013 to touch Rs.917 bn. The sector is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 15.2% to reach Rs.1661 bn by CY2017.

Investment Rationale:
Capitalizing from strategized business model: Eros has strategized its business model in order to capitalize most with minimum risk from each
stream. The company monetizes its content in a specified time frame from different streams with respect to its initial release in the theaters. Eros follows three types of business models for sourcing the contents i.e. Co‐Production, Acquisition and Own‐Production. The production costs of movie making have escalated by 15‐20% in 2012‐13 but the relationship agreement with its parent company Eros Plc. ensures 39% recovery of the total cost for movie making. The cost structure varies based on the budget and star cast, artist fees to form a major component of film’s budget for most large productions. Business Model

The company generally co‐produces 60% of its movie slate, acquires 30% of the movies from third party and produces only 10% movies on its own.
Co‐production Model is usually preferred by the company due to its valuable advantages. The company acquires the content of the movie in the initial stage of the production once the script, star cast and budget is finalized. As per the agreement, Eros finances the movie and the creative part is handled by the producer for a pre‐determined fee. In return, Eros owns worldwide distribution rights and minimum 50% share in Intellectual Property rights (IP) of the film in perpetuity. Also, the company gets a first position to receive 20% fixed profit on all the revenues collected by the movie, followed by the recovery of print and advertising costs (P&A) along with the entire investment on the movie. The remaining profits are then shared between the co‐producers in a pre‐agreed ratio that normally tends to be 50:50, 60:40 or 70:30 with Eros getting the higher share. Thus, Eros gets compensated at every stage of movie completion, thereby de‐risking its investment in the venture allowing it to simultaneously work on other projects. Less The production houses are moving into regional markets as the new generation is more receptive to non‐mainstream films and is encouraging experimentation with content. For these films, co‐production continues to be the preferred business model while being caution in teaming with the producers. Acquisition Model is beneficial due to its lower cash outflow. The company acquires movie from third party producers typically 3‐4 months before the movie is completed/released. The involvement of Eros in other aspects of production such as script, star cast is nominal as the making of movie is near to its completion. In acquisition model 35‐50% of the total acquisition cost is
Eros International Media Limited.
SKP Securities Ltd www.skpmoneywise.com Page 6 of 13
payable when the film is delivered by the producer to the company and Eros tends to get distribution rights for a period of 15‐20 years along with the pre‐decided minimum guarantee price. Also, the company gets a first position to receive 20% fixed profit on all the revenues collected by the movie, followed by the recovery of print and advertising costs (P&A) of the movie. The remaining profits are then shared between the co‐producers in a pre‐agreed ratio. Own‐Production Model is least preferred by the company due to its issue of capability to yield. Though in a very small number, only 2‐3 movies made each year, the company produces movies on its own when it likes a particular script.
In October 2009, the company entered into a five year relationship agreement with Eros Plc. which
is subject to renew/review in the third quarter of FY15. According to the agreement Eros Plc. would bear 30% of the movie making cost produced by Eros with an additional mark‐up of 30% on the amount totaling to 39% of the total cost of the movie. Eros Plc. would acquire exclusive distribution rights in 50 countries for Indian films except Tamil films that Eros co‐produces, acquires and distributes in India (Nepal and Bhutan). This agreement ensures that Eros recovers 39% of the cost of the film even before the film is released which can be productively resourced elsewhere. The company has further overflow arrangement with the parent. Content Monetization Timeline for New Releases

Eros monetizes its film catalogue comprising content library of approx. 1900 of films and new releases through digital exploitation. Eros generates revenues across all phases of the film release cycle. The theaters revenue contributes approx. 40‐45% of the total revenue generation of Eros. Revenue sharing with exhibitors (screen owners of multiplexes and single screen) depends on the pre‐determined ratio (week after week of movie release) after deducting entertainment tax, indirectly also sharing the box‐office collection risk of the movie released. Its overseas distribution revenue through its parent and satellite TV licensing contributes approx. 50% (20‐25% each) and rest is contributed by music, home entertainment, internet channels, new media, etc.
Indian films are also well appreciated in overseas market. Eros Plc. distributes movies, especially big
budget movies & star‐cast movies that have huge fan following in the countries which have considerable Indian population living there. Eros Plc. also distributes Indian films that are dubbed in various foreign languages. Eros is also capitalizing on the popularity of Indian films in the growing South East Asia market.
According to Frames 2013, KPMG report the television industry in India is estimated to grow at a
CAGR of 18% over 2012‐17, to reach Rs.848 bn in 2017. There is an intense competition between TV channels specially the GEC channels to raise the GRPs (Gross Rating Points) of channels. Broadcasters have turned to acquire movies to increase their viewership, working in favor of IP right owners like Eros. Eros can monetize its library with minimum risk and recover a considerable amount of cost invested in the movie even before the movie is released. In 2012, Colors, Viacom18's entertainment channel, had struck an Rs.95 cr exclusive deal with Eros to acquire a slate of 7‐9 forthcoming movies. India currently has a low smart phone penetration and low data usage as compared to the developed countries. Growing internet penetration and higher data usage per subscriber would be a growth driver for ancillary revenue streams. All the DTH subscribers have pay per view available on their platform. Last year, Eros has also launched a subscription based portal Erosnow.com for online viewing of movies.

Consistently Delivering Strong Content Slate: Eros has consistently been able to deliver 3‐4 movies annually in the Top 10 Grossing Hindi Films at
the box office. The company has appointed a Greenlight board for reviewing the creative criteria as well as the financial criteria of the film. The average collection of top 3 movies for Eros has doubled from last 3 years due to the release of a movie across large number of screens and strong content strategy. In 2012, 152 new screens were added, totaling to 5625 screens with major growth attributable to expansion of multiplexes. The company is successfully executing the strategy of diversifying its movies portfolio with a healthy mix of modest budget‐high concept films and high profile‐big star cast films.
Production houses are now focusing on strong content, small budgets and non‐star films with aggressive marketing and distribution spends. Vicky Donor and English Vinglish, illustrated new trend that smaller budget, high concept films can achieve higher returns at box office and other channels of distribution, provided they are marketed and distributed like big high profile films. As part of strategy Eros will continue to support smaller budget, high concept films, which ensures limited downside with unlimited upside.
The company has associated itself with key production houses for acquisition/co‐production of the
movies. Some of its alliances include Red Chillies (Shah Rukh Khan), Excel Entertainment (Farhan Akhtar), Illuminati films (Saif Ali Khan), Dharma Production (Karan Johar), etc. The company’s performance was marked by the success of movies in FY13 like Housefull 2, Cocktail, Son of Sardar, Khiladi 786, etc. and also Tamil based films Maatran & Thuppaki all of which have been monetized over multiple distribution platforms.
Eros has already released 42 films in the first half of FY14, which include 11 Hindi and 15 Tamil &
rest are other regional languages. Eros has an impressive list of movies released like ‘Raanjhanaa’, ‘Go Goa Gone’, ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, etc. and overseas release of ‘Grand Masti’ & ‘Krrish 3’all of which had a strong theatrical release.
‘Raanjhanaa’, a high concept‐modestly budgeted film, earned phenomenal success at the box
office, achieving an impressive gross box office collection of more than Rs.100 cr worldwide. ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, was distributed overseas by Eros Plc, reported a commendable box office collection of more than Rs.60 cr released in multiple international markets. ‘Go Goa Gone’, reported a gross box office collection of approx Rs. 42 cr worldwide.
The performance of first half of FY14 was also backed movies released like ‘Fukery’, ‘Lootera’,
‘Shoot Out At Wadala’, ‘Ek Thi Dayan’, ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’, ‘Rangeelay’, etc. Also its recent releases ‘Ram Leela’ and ‘R…Rajkumar’ earned phenomenal success at the box office. ‘Ram Leela’ was released worldwide in over 3,500 screens grossed Rs.68.58 cr in India and Rs.25 cr (US$4 mn) in the overseas markets in its opening weekend. ‘R…Rajkumar’ in its opening weekend grossed Rs.39.77 cr in India released across 2900 screens and Rs.6 cr overseas released across 300 screens.

In February, 2013 Eros and HBO Asia jointly launched two new premium advertising‐free movie channels that will showcase compelling content from Hollywood and Bollywood. The channels HBO Defined and HBO Hits went live on the DISH and AIRTEL DTH platforms in India and are expected to launch on other DTH and digital cable platforms later in the coming years. The deal offers a lucrative way of monetizing its huge content library.
Eros would provide 10‐12 premiers per year after their initial theatrical release and DVD distribution. The strategy is to introduce a new window for premium television between theatrical and free satellite television. Additionally, Eros will also provide 100 movies per year from its library of movies to HBO Asia which will include Hindi as well as other regional movies. The channels will showcase approx. 30% Bollywood content along with other regional languages while the balance 70% would be Hollywood content. The Hollywood content would be provided mainly by Paramount and Warner Brothers.
The 50% of the revenues earned from the paid viewers will be the profit share of DTH/Cable
operator and rest 50% is the Channel’s revenue. The 50% Channel’s Revenue is further divided between the three content providers Eros, Paramount & Warner Brothers having an equal share of 16% each (total 48%). Also, Eros & HBO Asia will equally share (50:50) the profits from the remaining 52% after HBO recovers its incurred operational expenses for the two channels. The collaboration provides a huge upside for Eros as it can monetize its content library with minimum cash outflow (if any). The profits earned from this deal would directly flow to the Profit before Tax (PBT) of Eros.
The premium channels have started to receive an encouraging response as it is also available on
digital cable platforms such as Hathway & GTPL. Eros is expecting that it would take another 2‐3 years to penetrate the existing digitized subscribers base. Although the company has not specified an exact timeline and subscriber base, the prospects of this collaboration based on the early response from subscribers will unlock the value of the content catalogue as it grows. It is very early to predict the revenue generation from these distribution platforms therefore, we have currently not included the financials of these segments into our estimates.
ErosNow: The company’s new initiative Eros Now is an online entertainment portal for free subscription that
will showcase the film library, music videos, audio tracks and regional programming on demand. The company also added a host of Bollywood titles acquired from UTV and Viacom. It also showcases the latest release for premium subscribers. As the broadband connectivity in India grows, with the advent of 3G and 4G, and as mobile smartphones and tablets gain popularity, ErosNow, will gain popularity amongst consumers and will help monetize the content library with another distribution platform.
These new initiatives of the company depend on the subscription base of new channels and internet penetration. Although these distribution platforms seem to be lucrative in coming future. We expect that HBO Asia & ErosNow will have a slow growth in their initial phase and take some time to escalate, hence we have currently not included these segments in our projections.

Financial Outlook:
Topline to grow at a CAGR of 12% between FY13‐15E with stable EBITDA margins: Eros has registered a 13% growth in total revenues of Rs.1067 cr in FY13. The performance in the
revenue is mainly driven by the theatrical release of movies released in the wide number of screens, strong content portfolio and TV syndication revenue. Eros has consistently been able to deliver 3‐4 movies annually in the Top 10 Grossing Hindi Films at the box office. We expect the revenues of Eros will report at a CAGR of 12% during FY13‐15E on the back of theatrical revenue, sale of satellite rights and ancillary revenue.
The company focuses on investing in high concept‐modestly budgeted movies that yield high returns along with its operational efficiencies. Going forward we expect the EBITDAM to remain stable at approx 22% for FY14E and FY15E whereas PAT to report Rs.163.70 cr & Rs.201.30 cr in FY14E & FY15E respectively.

On account of moderate growth in revenue, strong content pipeline and distribution platforms
together will lead the company to sustain its healthy return ratios during FY14‐15E.

Key concerns: Contribution from theatrical revenues is higher than other segments, thus the performance of
the movies released is highly significant which otherwise will affect the return ratios. Delay in completion of projects. Unforeseen disputes with the production houses. Unforeseen disputes/ Negotiations with multiplex & single screens for revenue sharing will
affect the company. Increase in Content prices will affect the margins.
Valuations:
Eros has a strategized business model, strong content pipeline and new initiatives to monetize content library defining healthy financials. The India M&E industry growth at a considerable rate, greater penetration of multiplexes in Tier II and Tier III markets, increasing penetration of digital & internet subscribers and increasing disposable income together is going to prove beneficial for Eros in coming future.
