INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the GDP of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift. It highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account for close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey. And with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further in the coming years.  China may surpass the US over the next few years.

 

Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand, seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales, luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.

 

A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization policies.  A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets including equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991. Real estate outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period with an annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized return of 15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the fact is that the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just 7.1 %.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The Company has delivered a robust operating performance this year amidst a challenging market environment. Focus on sustaining and extending leadership in core markets, consistent focus on operational efficiencies as well as strong performance across print and non-print segments have enabled the Company to report significant growth.

 

The Bhaskar way of journalism places the reader at the center. The Company's growth strategy revolves around this philosophy. It combines 'knowledge enhancement' with' product differentiation' enabling targeted growth. Associations with leading media brands for exclusive, unique content and realignment of corporate sales and marketing strategy with the aim of providing greater focus to advertisers at every state level has contributed extensively in achieving the growth.

 

The Company's 'Un-Metro - Markets Driving India' initiative, which extensively analysed the potential of high-growth non-metro regions and brought it in focus with the advertisers and media planning agencies, has also contributed significantly towards broadening the horizons. The Bihar-Patna launch was an exciting challenge in that region and it received an overwhelming response and wide acceptance. The progress in Maharashtra continues to be well on course.

 

The Company's non-print media segments have been making strong headway with commendable developments across digital and radio segments. Leveraging their leadership strengths in print media has complemented steady progress across digital and radio platforms. The potential of post-phase III licensing is exciting and the Company is well poised to strengthen its radio footprints further and it would be in an advantageous position in view of possibility of news content being allowed on FM radio, due to already existing infrastructure.

 

While the macro outlook does remain undefined, the Company is hopeful that with the political certainty, the consumer sentiment will become more positive and result in better growth across sectors. The Company is confident that with the clear strategic focus, strong business fundamentals and superior execution capabilities supported by a talented team, it will strive towards its vision - to be the largest and most admired media brand enabling socio-economic change'.

 

Major events during the year:

 

• Demerger of 'Internet Business' of I Media Corp Limited (IMCL) into the Company:

 

With a view to reach advertisers with offering(s) of attractive combined advertising options in the internet and print medium, to achieve operational synergies and to generate larger advertising revenue and better customer satisfaction, the Company had considered it prudent, timely and appropriate to de-merge the Integrated Internet and Mobile Interactive Services Business of its wholly-owned subsidiary viz. IMCL into the Company. Accordingly, upon receipt of all the necessary statutory approvals and the sanction of the Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Principal Seat at Jabalpur vide its order dated 27thMarch, 2014, in accordance with Sections 391 to 394 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, the said internet business of IMCL was demerged from IMCL and merged into the Company w.e.f. 1st April, 2013, the Appointed Date fixed under the Scheme.

 

As a result, the said internet business of IMCL has now become part of the Company. This provides the Company the synergy in operations as both businesses complement each other.

 

• Sale of stake held in Divya Prabhat Publications Private Limited (DPPPL):

 

During the year, the Company sold its entire stake of 51 % held in DPPPL to Mr. Prabhat Sojatia and Mr. Sunil Sojatia by terminating the Shareholders' Agreement dated 1stOctober, 2011 executed between the two companies and members of the Sojatia family. Accordingly, DPPPL had ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company effective close of business hours on 30m June, 2013

 

• Redemption of 0% Non-convertible Redeemable Preference shares:

 

In 2007, the Company had allotted 1 (One) 0% Non-Convertible Redeemable Preference Share (NCRPS) of Rs. 10,000/- each. The said NCRPS was redeemable at par at any time after5 years but before 20 years from the date of allotment (31st July, 2007). Upon receipt of request and surrender of the same by the holder thereof, the said NCRPS was redeemed at par by the Company on 17th October, 2013.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERVIEW:

 

Economy and Media and Entertainment Industry (M&E Industry)

 

In 2013, M&E Industry witnessed strong double digit growth. Regional print, new media and Radio led the way on the back of booming tier II and III town consumption story. Regional print could achieve double digit growth, inspite of sluggish and soft Indian and global economy and resultant weak GDP growth slowing down to around4.5% average for year. However, on the back of stable federal government, M&E Industry is estimated to grow at CAGR of 14.5% till 2018, as per FICCI-KPMG report.

 

In the midst of a slow economic growth, the industry faced several challenges, both business and regulatory. However, 2013 was a year in which the foundation of the industry was strengthened to position for growth as the economy improves.

 

Print sector relatively had a comfortable year - especially regional print, with English print struggling on the ad revenue front. Advertising remained strong in the smaller towns and cities and local consumption continued to witness incremental growth, well-supported by local and general election in the Hindi heartland. Radio too had a good year with better long-term prospects on the background of expected phase III of licensing, thus expanding the business size exponentially for all radio players.

 

Overall, the M and E Industry grew at 11.8% (YoY) in the calendar year 2013 to Rs. 918 Billion (KPMG India Analysis). Print achieved a moderate growth of 8.5% with radio and digital advertising growing at 15% and 38.7%, respectively. Contrary to the prevailing trends in global print media, where there is intense competition from digital media, the print sector in India is showing a strong upsurge. It is mainly based on print media's advertising revenues and faith shown by advertisers in this medium. Most advertisers have backed up the extensive reach and localisation benefits that print offers. Some of the big spending sectors such as automobile, education, FMCG, retail, consumer durables and real estate increased their media spend on print this year. Hindi newspaper led growth trend with 11.5% (YOY) advertising growth.

 

Advertising continues to be driving the print with majority 67% revenue coming from it (KPMG India analysis). However during 2013, majority of players took a step towards increasing cover prices to bring out balance in advertisement and circulation mix. As a result, 2013 saw a rise in circulation revenues by 8.1 % (YoY) for the Industry. The growth of overall print industry was largely driven by Hindi and vernacular print markets. Hindi market grew by 10.5% while vernacular grew by 10%.

 

As per FICCI-KPMG report, Print industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% over the next 5 years, wherein much of the growth will be driven by advertising revenues.

 

 

OPERATIONS AT GLANCE

 

Financial Year (FY) 2013-14 provided the much needed upswing after 2 years of relatively lower growth. The Company is pleased to inform that the performance of all its business regions has been good. With the necessary strategic platform already set at the start of the year, the Company was able to capture higher ad revenue from regional markets under various segments.

 

Dainik Bhaskar Group continues to be highly respected regional news daily by 19.8million readers across India's fastest growing markets. It continues to be the largest read newspaper of urban India leading the market position in legacy markets while strengthening its presence in emerging pockets. In Maharashtra, the Company launched new editions at Akola and Amaravati. Divya Marathi maintained strong growth momentum across all 7 editions during the year.

 

Apart from further building readership in the existing markets, the Company also entered into the state of Bihar with the launch of Patna edition in Q4. This launch garnered an overwhelming response and has created a space and strong position amongst established peers in this region. Results of this launch have reiterated DBCL's execution capabilities, meticulous pre-survey planning and thorough pre-launch strategies until seamless final roll out. With a well-strategized launch campaign built on the lines of unbiased content value and appealing to diverse readership categories, Dainik Bhaskar has achieved wide acceptance in Patna.

 

On the infrastructure front, the Company continued to invest in upgrading the printing facilities to provide quality product at all the locations and building efficiencies of advanced technology.

 

On the corporate front, the Company integrated its internet and interactive mobile services business which was housed in its wholly-owned subsidiary "I Media Corp Limited" (IMCL) by demerging the same from IMCL and merging into DBCL. The demerger, which was approved by the Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Principal Seat at Jabalpurvide its order dated 27thMarch, 2014, became effective from 1stApril, 2013 (Appointed Date). This demerger brought the 3 major segments viz. Print, Radio and Internet under one Company. As a result of this demerger, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary "IMCL" now carries out only Events related business.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

During the year gone by, DBCL was able to capture the advertising revenue opportunities in various markets. The growth in advertising revenues was mostly driven by yield and partly by volume. The Company is of the opinion that there is further greater potential in improving the advertising yield and it is working towards getting the full benefit out of its dominant markets. Also the concept of Un-Metro is expected to further help attract newer and additional advertisement spends from national advertisers.

 

The Company is confident of its business strategies that have visibly yielded very positive results during FY 2013-14. With continued focus on product and regular content innovation, the Company will strive to further improve its competitive strengths in new markets along with maintaining dominance in existing markets.

NOTES:

1)       The statement of unaudited standalone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 has been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on July 17, 2014. The Statutory Auditors have conducted a 'Limited Review' of these results in terms of Clause 41 of the listing agreement. There are no qualifications in the report issued by the auditors.

 

2)       The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2014 and the unaudited published year-to-date figures up to December 31, 2013, being the date of the end of the third quarter of the financial year which were subjected to limited review by the statutory auditors.

 

3)       Pursuant to the approval of Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Principal seat at Jabalpur, on March 27, 2014 and according to the Scheme of Arrangement (the ‘Scheme’), the Integrated Internet and Mobile Interactive Service business of I Media Corp Limited (‘IMCL) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was demerged and merged with the Company with effect from April 01, 2013 (Appointed date).

 

According to the provisions of the Scheme, along with assets and liabilities of Integrated Internet and Mobile Interactive Service business, the unabsorbed depreciation and brought forward losses (against which IMCL had not recognised deferred tax assets) till March 31, 2013 aggregating to Rs. 439.540 millions were transferred to the Company which were set off by the Company while computing the Current tax provision for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2014. This has resulted in a net reduction of Rs. 149.400 millions in the current tax expense.

 

The Company has recognised the said demerger in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Accordingly, the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 are not comparable with those of the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to that extent.

 

4)       Since the segment information as per Accounting Standard 17- Segment Reporting notified under the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’), read with General Circular 15/2013 dated September 13, 2013, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, is provided on the basis of consolidated financial results, the same is not provided separately for the standalone results.

 

5)       In accordance with the provisions of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company revised the estimated useful lives of certain group of fixed assets with effect from April 01, 2014. As per the provisions of Schedule II, depreciation of Rs. 63.320 millions (Rs. 95.930 millions net of deferred tax effect of Rs. 32.610 millions) is charged against the General Reserve.

 

Additional depreciation Rs. 47.740 millions due to the change in estimates is charged to the statement of profit and loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
