Key Takeaway

Media sector would likely see a cyclical recovery in 2015 driven by economicgrowth. We expect advertising growth to improve and subscription growth toremain strong. Further, commodity prices deflation should benefit print sector.Print is our preferred pick in 2015, while we maintain our cautious view on DishTV. Zee could remain range-bound, in our view, given elevated valuations andmuted near-term results.

Broadcasting - early signs of per subscriber model, benefits to be slow: The pastcouple of quarters have seen signs of shift to per subscriber contract with cable and DTHplayers. However, the benefits of this have been limited, as significant hikes in subscriptionrevenues need consumer pack prices to increase. Further, the per subscriber contracts leadto loss of viewership for many secondary channels of broadcasters, impacting ad revenues.While the recent trends are positive, we believe benefits would accrue only over the mediumterm. Advertising growth for the sector should see an improvement in 2015, led by arecovery in the economy. However, Zee's growth would likely be lower than recent growthgiven lack of market share gains going forward.

Print - in a sweet spot: Print sector would be in a sweet spot in 2015, in our view, ledby twin benefits of better advertising growth and lower commodity prices (newsprint). Posttwo years of weakness in advertising growth (8% pa), we expect growth to improve goingforward, led by an improvement in economic growth. Historically, advertising growth forprint has been closely linked to GDP growth. Further, newsprint prices are on a downtrend,declining c5% and could see further downside. This would significantly benefit margins forthe print players. We expect print to report c17-20% EPS growth over the next three years.

DTH - to see a cyclical rebound but with rising competition: We have maintainedour negative view on the DTH industry for the past two years.

Zee (Z IN): Valuations an overhang Zee has seen a sharp re-rating-led rally over the past three months, driven by

an expectation of shift towards per subscriber booking in subscription

revenues. We believe that expectation of significant subscription revenue

growth acceleration is premature, as seen in the Zee-Hathway deal which has

returned to negotiated deal. We expect subscription growth to see steady

growth of 16-17% pa in the near term. With the stock now trading at 32x

FY16 PE, we believe that the valuation overhang, lack of near-term triggers

and weak results would keep the share price range-bound. Maintain Hold

with revised TP of Rs 340 (from Rs295).

Advertising growth to see a slowdown: While we expect the sector advertising

growth to accelerate, Zee’s advertising growth would likely remain below recent levels.

This is because Zee has been gaining market share in the past couple of years and the

benefits of this are now behind us. Going, forward we expect advertising growth to

moderate to industry levels of 17% vs recent growth of 20%+.

Exhibit 1: Advertising growth to remain below recent peaks

Source: Company Data, Jefferies estimates

Exhibit 2: Subscription growth to remain strong

Source: Company Data, Jefferies estimates

Subscription growth to remain strong: Unlike advertising, we expect subscription

growth for the company to remain strong going forward. Both Zee and Star have recently

experimented with per subscriber contracts with cable operators. However, the feedback

has been that while they gained incremental revenues, Zee has reverted to a negotiated

deal. This could be due to per subscriber deal leading to loss of subscribers in the second-

tier channels of the broadcaster. In addition to subscription revenues, this would have also

impacted advertising revenues. Zee management has maintained that they are receiving

close to their fair share of revenues in the digitized market. Thus, for subscription growth

to increase significantly from current levels, it would have to be led by consumer package

price hikes. We believe that this would gain pace going forward and have increased our

subscription revenue growth forecast to 16% pa, from 12%.

Digitization benefits to be limited: With Phase III and IV digitization deadline pushed

to Dec 2015 and Dec 2016, respectively, the benefits of digitization would accrue only

from FY17. We believe that Phase III would see partial digitization, while we do not expect

any significant digitization in Phase IV.

Sports business losses to remain stable: Sports business losses would likely remain

stable in 2015 given lack of significant India cricket event and better advertising and

subscription revenues.

Strong 20% EPS growth but valuations an overhang: We expect Zee to report

20% EPS CAGR over FY15-17E, led by better top-line growth and increase in margins.

However, 2H15 growth would be muted, led by slower advertising growth and higher

costs led by launch of new channels. With the stock having re-rated 25% over the past

three months and now trading nearly 2 st. dev. above historical averages, we see limited

upside from current levels. We have revised our EPS by 5-6% as we factor in the increased

subscription revenue growth and lower sports losses. We have revised DCF-based PT to

Rs340 (from Rs 295), as we factor in higher EPS and roll forward our DCF to Mar-16. Risks:

1) weak economic recovery, 2) increased competition, 3) delay in subscription price hikes.

Print – In a sweet spot Print sector would be in a sweet spot in 2015, in our view, led by the twin

benefits of better advertising growth and lower commodity prices

(newsprint). Following two years of weakness in advertising growth (8% pa),

we expect growth to improve going forward, led by improvement in

economic growth. Historically, advertising growth for print has been closely

linked to GDP growth. Further, newsprint prices are on a downtrend and

have declined c5%, and could see further downside given the rout in

commodity prices. This would significantly benefit margins of print players.

We expect print to report c17-20% EPS growth over the next three years.

Advertising growth to accelerate. We expect advertising growth for print sector to

increase from current 8% levels to 15% levels over the next two years. Print sector

advertising growth is historically well correlated with GDP growth and with improving

economic growth, we expect advertising growth to also improve for the sector.

Newsprint prices to see reduction: Newsprint prices declined c3% in 1HFY15 and

management guided for another 3-5% decline. Given the recent fall in commodity prices,

we believe that there could be further decline in prices from the guided levels. We are

factoring only 3% decline over FY14-16E and 3% inflation in FY17. Any additional decline

would be a positive for the companies, with every 1% decline adding 30bps to margins.

DBCL: Expect 24% EPS CAGR over FY15-17E: We expect DBCL to report 24% EPS

CAGR over FY15-17, led by 14% top-line growth and 270bps margin improvement,

driven by operating leverage. The stock is trading at 17x FY16 PE vs. 32x for Zee with

better earnings growth and 3% dividend yield. We retain our Buy rating with a revised PT

of Rs 460 (from Rs410) as we roll forward our DCF to Mar 16. We have increased our EPS

forecast by 4-8% as we factor in lower commodity prices and better top-line growth.

Risks: 1) delay in economic recovery, 2) commodity prices and 3) increased competition.

The stock is trading at 13.0x FY16 PE. Given the strong earnings growth and dividend

yield of 4%, we retain our positive view on the stock with revised TP of Rs 160 (from

Rs140) as we roll forward our DCF to Mar-16. We have lowered our EPS forecast by 9%,

led by lower top-line growth assumptions. Risks: 1) delay in economic recovery, 2)

commodity prices and 3) increased competition.

Dish TV (DITV IN) – To see a cyclical

rebound but with rising competition We have maintained a negative view on the DTH industry over the past two years. Our

view has been that digitization would be a negative for the DTH industry and this played

out in Phase I and II for the sector. The weak economic environment further impacted

subscriber addition in rural areas and price increases. Going forward, while we expect

subscriber addition to see some cyclical improvement led by economic recovery,

additions would remain well below previous peaks. We do not expect any significant

gains from Ph III and IV digitization. Further, given our strategy view of slower rural

growth, additions would remain a challenge for the sector.

On price hikes, while improving economic conditions should allow DTH to take further

price hikes, this is already in the numbers. We are factoring c5% pa price hikes for Dish TV.

The cyclical improvement in additions and price hike though would come with increased

competition especially on STB subsidy, which would impact the profitability and capex for

the players. We expect EBITDA CAGR of 15% over FY14-17E. The stock is trading at 10.8x

FY16 EV/EBITDA. Given the challenges faced by the industry, we maintain our

Underperform rating and DCF-based PT of Rs49. Risks: 1) better subscriber additions, 2)

faster digitization implementation.
