MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW OF ECONOMY

 

Global Economy The global economy went through yet another year of challenges in 2012. As per the International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook, April 2013, world economic growth hit a low of 3.2 percent in 2012, plummeting from 4.0 percent in 2011. Euro Zone crisis remained a matter of major concern, with most of the economies in the region trapped in a vicious cycle of high unemployment, financial sector fragility, heightened sovereign risks, fiscal austerity and low growth.

 

Continued economic slowdown in the United States, Europe and Japan had an impact on emerging economies due to a weak demand for their exports. As a consequence, the real GDP growth in emerging and developing economies slowed to 5.1 percent for the year.

 

IMF forecasts growth in emerging market and developing economies to reach 5.3 percent in 2013, and 5.7 percent in 2014. Growth in the US is forecast to be 1.9 percent in 2013 and 3.0 percent in 2014. In contrast, growth in the Euro area is forecast to be negative 0.3 percent in 2013 and 1.1 percent in 2014.

 

Indian Economy

 

In the wake of the worsening global economic situation, the Indian economy continued to experience a slowdown in its activity during the year gone by, growing at 5.0 percent in FY 13 as compared to 6.2 percent in FY 12.

 

Depreciating rupee, higher fiscal deficit and worsening current account deficit continued to be the major concerns for the Government.

 

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) tight monetary policy to contain inflation adversely affected the overall investment climate as also the supply side in the country. On the demand side, consumer sentiment continued to be weak, impacting India’s consumer-led growth story.

 

However, the outlook for the Indian economy continues to be promising in the medium to long term. According to economists, with inflation already showing signs of cooling off, the central bank could announce rate cuts in FY 14.

 

The World Bank has projected 6.1 percent growth for the Indian economy in FY 14, stating that the Indian economy would slowly recover to high long-term growth as the economy comes back on track due to strong domestic demand, vibrant savings and investments. Growth is further expected to increase to 6.7% in 2014-2015, as per the World Bank.

 

MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

 

Sustaining momentum

 

The CY 2012 continued to be a tough period for the Indian Media and Entertainment Industry. As per FICCI-KPMG Indian Media and Entertainment Industry Report 2013, advertising revenues touched Rs.327 Billion during CY 2012, growing at a slower rate of 9 percent. In comparison, the growth rate was 13 percent in CY 2011 and 17 percent in CY 2010. Overall, the industry grew to Rs.821 Billion in CY 2012 as against Rs.728 Billion in CY 2011, registering a growth of 12.6 percent.

 

However, medium term growth outlook continues to be promising for the industry, backed by an overall healthy economic environment. Consequently, advertising revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of 14 percent to reach Rs.630 Billion by 2017. The M and E sector is projected to grow at CAGR of 15.2 percent to reach Rs.1661 Billion by CY 2017, with overall revenue expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2 percent during the same period.

 

Print Media

 

Print media continues to grow in India unlike in most other countries, dominating the Indian media landscape with a 46 percent share in the total advertising revenue in CY 2012. However, the sector’s advertising revenues grew at a slower rate of 7.6 percent in CY 2012, reaching Rs.150 Billion, as compared to a growth rate of nearly 11 percent in CY 2011. With more than 82,000 registered newspapers and Rs.224 Billion in total revenues, newspapers form a dominant 94 percent share of the entire print Industry, with the balance 6 percent coming from magazines.

 

The Indian print industry continues to be an exciting long-term story. There are distinct opportunities in the form of next phase growth engines, viz. growth in Tier II, Tier III cities, growing literacy, growth in Hindi and regional languages, to mention a few. Consequently, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9 percent over the next five years.

 

Digital Media

 

The Indian digital advertising segment has been gradually increasing its share in the advertising pie of the Indian M and E industry. Its share in the overall advertisement spends for the industry increased from 5.1 percent in CY 2011 to 6.6 percent in CY 2012.

 

The segment’s advertising revenues grew to Rs.21.7 Billion in CY 2012 as against Rs.15.4 Billion in CY 2011, registering an impressive growth of 40.9 percent. This growth is likely to continue, with revenues estimated to reach Rs.87.2 Billion in CY 2017, growing at a CAGR of 32.1 percent. This growth is expected to be backed primarily by higher internet penetration, leading to a shift in consumers’ media consumption habits in favour of digital media. As per current estimates, internet penetration in India continues to be much lower as compared with developed nations like the US and France, as well as some Asian countries like Hong Kong.

 

Radio

 

Radio in India is set for its next phase of expansion with the roll-out of new licenses in 294 cities across the country, as announced by the Finance Minister in his Union Budget speech of 2013-14.

 

The industry had a muted growth of 10.4 percent in CY 2012, reaching revenues of Rs.12.7 Billion as against Rs.11.5 Billion in CY 2011. The growth was mainly driven by volume improvements as prices largely stayed stagnant. There were some profitability improvements in the industry on account of increasing cost discipline and reduction in royalty costs due to approval of Copyright Amendment Bill, in May 2012.

 

The industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10 percent till the Phase III stations start operations (expected in CY 2014). Post Phase III, the industry is likely to grow at a CAGR of 21 percent. Consequently, Radio’s share in total advertisement spends is expected to increase to 4.3 percent in CY 2017 from the present 3.9 percent, according to the FICCI-KPMG report.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

Backed by strategic and operational initiatives, HT Media, one of India’s foremost media companies, performed well across its segments – Print, Radio, Digital, Education and Mobile – during the year.

 

In the Print business, its newspapers – Hindustan Times, Hindustan and Mint - continued to grow and expand. The newspapers retained their committed readership and also added more readers to their respective portfolios. This was endorsed by the growth in their circulation revenues; Hindustan Times reported a 13 percent increase, mainly on account of increase in cover price across geographies.

 

The Company’s Radio business also progressed well and its FM Radio Stations, Fever 104, posted healthy growth in profitability. The Online business, operated through the Company’s subsidiary Firefly e-Ventures Limited, also showed positive results during the year.

 

Hindustan Times

 

With multiple new initiatives to build business and editorial excellence, the Company’s flagship newspaper Hindustan Times (HT) achieved new milestones of success during the year. It remained the leading English daily in Delhi for the 12th Indian Readership Survey (IRS) round in a row, and was the second largest newspaper (broadsheet) by readership in Mumbai.

 

With a steadily growing reader base at the national level, the newspaper has a readership of 3.8 Million with over 2.4 Million exclusive readers, as per the IRS results for Q4 2012. Amongst one of the widely-read English dailies in the country, Hindustan Times is published from Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, Mohali, Jalandhar, Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Bhopal, Indore, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Kolkata.

 

HT continued to be ahead of competition in Delhi and NCR. It registered a daily readership (Average Issue Readership or AIR) of 2.1 Million. In NCR alone, HT registered a healthy 11 percent growth in readership over the year.

 

HT Mumbai continued to be a strong growth centre in terms of readership. The newspaper consolidated its No. 2 position in the city, with an AIR of 0.8 Million. It has remained the No. 2 English broadsheet in the city for the last 10 IRS rounds.

 

Punjab also added the maximum number of readers among all English newspapers in the state in Q4 2012 (vs Q4 2011). In addition to growing its readership in Chandigarh, the newspaper has also made major inroads into the top cities of Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar.

 

Hindustan

 

Maintaining pace with the growing Hindi readership, Hindustan retained its No. 2 position at national level in the IRS (Q4 2012) results. With a Total Readership (TR) of 39.1 Million and an AIR at 12.2 Million, the daily continued to consolidate its position during CY 2012.

 

Hindustan continues to reap the benefits of completing its expansion process in Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) and Uttarakhand. The most impressive gains for the newspaper came in U.P. - 16 percent over the last 2 years - to post 14.8 Million readers.

 

Hindustan has established a pan-U.P. presence, with 12 editions and 1.1 Million copies distributed daily across the state. Hindustan now has 4.6 Million AIR in U.P. and Uttarakhand, having added 0.3 Million to AIR in the past one year.

 

Hindustan continues to post robust growth in relative market share across all key cities of U.P. It retains its No. 1 position in Bareilly while continuing gains from new launches in Aligarh and Moradabad.

 

Hindustan continues to dominate Bihar and Jharkhand as the single largest daily. It has an AIR of 4.8 Million readers and a readership share of 68 percent in Bihar. Similarly, it has a 1.6 Million AIR, with a reader share of 46 percent in Jharkhand. It is also the second largest Hindi daily in Delhi and NCR with AIR of 1.1 Million.

 

Mint

 

Mint, the vibrant business daily of HT Media, continued on its exciting journey of growth and expansion during the year. While retaining its No. 2 position in the niche business newspaper segment in the country, it expanded globally with the launch of its Singapore edition.

 

Maintaining a steady position, it has emerged as the preferred choice of the discerning reader.

 

Mint has maintained its dominant presence in metros with the best readership profile among business dailies. It commands a combined readership share of 28 percent in key markets of Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad put together. It has a readership (AIR) of 0.2 Million (IRS Q4, 2012), and an exclusive readership of 90 percent.

 

In a first for an Indian media company, Mint went global on April 5, 2013. With the launch of its Singapore edition, it took a major step forward in its goal of becoming a regional media brand. Mint Asia will be published every Friday in Singapore, presenting clear-minded weekly in-depth analysis and sharp insights that will keep the global audience abreast of developments shaping the Indian economy and markets.

 

Mint, which reaches the who’s who of corporate India, achieved a milestone in its journey of excellence during the year by winning the glorious Media Tenor’s Best Business Media Award, 2012. The award holds great prestige globally and honours diverse, informative and balanced business coverage. Mint has already won two SOPA (Society of Publishers in Asia) awards for its journalistic initiatives on the changing role of people and on the status of women in India.

 

Radio

 

Fever 104 FM is recognized as a vibrant, youthful and interactive music destination, committed to its listeners. It is the No. 1 station in Delhi and the fastest growing station in Mumbai with highest listenership share in TG of 20-34 SEC AB. In Bengaluru, Fever 104 FM is now the No. 1 Bollywood station, while Kolkata station is India’s first 24-hour request station.

 

With strong listener focus, Fever undertook various innovations to engage better with its listeners. Key initiatives included launch of popular radio drama, Bal Gopal (based on Indian mythology), introduction of ‘reality led programming’, Tihar Jail Activity and campaigns on HIV and women safety. Other campaigns included ‘Ticket to Bollywood’, which gave a chance to the common man to fulfill his Bollywood dream.

 

Events was another major focus area for the FM Radio, which forayed into kids’ entertainment space and got two of the most popular international productions to the country – Noddy in Toyland and Ben 10. The division also concluded other successful marquee events like Kaifi Aur Main, a concert with singer KK, Tribute to Mohd. Rafi, Fever Tree of Wishes, Youth Nexus and Bhakti Ki Awaaz. The Fever Audio Tools (FAT) business has successfully developed IPR content across all major Indian languages and has become a leading content provider in the voice VAS industry in India.

 

Mobile Solutions

 

HT Mobile Solutions continued its aggressive march in the past year towards being a leading player in the continuously evolving digital landscape of India.

 

With its strategic decision to discontinue its joint venture with the overseas partner, and to bring in an industry veteran to head its operations, HT Mobile Solutions took a major step forward in its growth roadmap.

 

A key initiative by the Company during the year was to restructure itself in two areas of Digital Marketing and Digital Entertainment. The initiative is aimed at providing value-added solutions to its customers and concurrently driving maximum value for its shareholders.

 

The year saw the Company reach out to the ever growing base of mobile users in the country with multiple solutions for major corporate. Some of these solutions included mass outreach and customer service, rich user experience on mobile applications, enterprise mobility offerings and enhancing print content experience through augmented reality contests and promotions. Others included social media outreach and user engagement, video streaming and packaged audio solutions.

 

Moving forward, the Company will continue to pursue an aggressive growth strategy, both organically and through partnerships and acquisitions. Backed by a strong management team and technological prowess, the Company is well positioned to become a market leader in this business domain.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The outlook for the coming year looks promising on the back of growth in existing and new businesses. While their brand strength shall remain the key to their future growth, the Company shall also continue to look for pioneering innovations across its businesses.

 

HT Mumbai, Hindustan in U.P., Radio, Education and Digital businesses are expected to continue their growth trajectory, along with a strong focus on cost optimization to improve profitability. The Company’s strong financial position further enables it to explore growth opportunities within and outside the media space.
