PERFORMANCE:
Subject started the year with a target to achieve EBITDA breakeven and a
revenue growth of 10%. However during the financial year 2009-10, the Company’s
net ad revenue from operations has been Rs.2069.000 Millions compared to
Rs.1762.300 Millions last year, an increase of 17%. EBITDA has been Rs.132.100
Millions as against Rs.(270.400 Millions) last year, a growth of 149%. Profit
before tax has been Rs.(55.700 Millions) as compared to Rs.(453.100 Millions)
last year registering a growth or 88% over the year. Profit after tax has been
Rs.(55.700 Millions) compared to Rs.(460.900 Millions) last year, registering a
growth of 88% over the last year.
The Company thus, has been able to exceed it targets successfully due to
the following key reasons :
- General
elections, some key state elections (Maharashtra and Haryana) and two budgets
in a year helped drive news consumption in a big way. Subject was able to capitalize
on these opportunities though specially created content and was able to price
them aggressively and sell in the market.
-With strong
thrust on cutting costs and unimportant expenses, they were able to bring down
their overall operating expenses compared to the previous year
-The strong and consistent performance of Star Ananda helped to drive
the regional channels aggressively.
Revenue
Star News
Subject achieved a
significant growth in a year when most of the Media organizations were struggling
to achieve their target. This became more commendable after realizing the fact
that Star News held a no. 3 position in terms of news viewership after Aaj Tak
and India TV- This was mainly possible through Combo selling in order to
capitalize on inventory. 'Event and special properties’ also became a strong
stream of revenue in its starting year.
Star Ananda
Star Ananda
delivered a growth even after it held no. 2 position in terms of viewership
rating. Zee 24 Ghanta proved a strong threat through its leadership position in
terms of viewership, though its advertising rates were less than half that of
STAR Ananda. Inventory utilization on STAR Ananda peaked in 2009-10 and combo
selling at an attractive price also helped Ananda to capitalize its inventory.
Events proved a major supporting stream- with revenues on properties like Shera
Bengali and Durga Puja increasing manifold.
Star Majha
FY 09-10 proved
another year of being no.1 for Star Majha, both in terms of news viewership as
well as revenues share. With the help of combo selling Majha utilized its
inventory successfully. Star Majha registered healthy revenue growth.
Syndication
Revenues
The channel has
continued to earn its normal fixed-fee Syndication revenue on the news feed
sent out of India through the STAR system, though it was heartening to note
that with the channel gaining in popularity not only in
India but also
outside STAR added several countries to the list of places where STAR News
became visible to Indians resident in such places.
Outlook for
2010-11
2009-10 was a tough year for the news industry as advertisers grew
cautions and started demanding greater value. The key challenge for 2010-11
would be their ability to take up the prices. The second challenge, would be to
take up the performance of Star news as the inventory utilization is optimum
and any future growth, cannot come from volume increase.
The broadcasting industry is expected to grow at 13% and Subject has
targeted an above industry growth to ensure that the Company grows faster than
the market. The key legs of Subject strategy on revenue and profitability are –
-Leveraging on the
network strength – focus on having an integrated sales system selling the
entire bouquet of channels.
-Continue to manage costs tightly to ensure that we maintain the
advantage.
-Driving
viewership share through a well thought out editorial strategy which would
ensure that we stick to strong main stream news and take a high ground on news
coverage in an endeavor achieve the leadership position in the Hindi News
Genre.
It is expected that the implementation of the above strategies will help
in achieving the desired objectives.
