INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely
to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s
Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under
control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for
2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14. Total economic growth,
infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign
direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness
as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey. Projects
with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous
year. The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India
is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur
a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn.
550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as
compared to with a year earlier. The National Capital Region has a one-fourth
share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group
Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are
showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms
in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year.
The Information Technology and IT-Enabled Services Industry retained its
status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has
temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries
to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on
purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest
bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at
upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed
bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and
awareness among depositors. According to the plan, deposits that have not
been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

NATURE OF
OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated on June 24, 1999. The Company operates FM
radio broadcasting stations in 32 Indian cities under the brand name ‘Radio
Mirchi’. The Company’s principal revenue stream is advertising. Advertising
revenues are generated through the sale of air time in the Company’s FM radio
broadcasting stations.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Company retained its position as the market leader in Private FM
Radio Broadcasting Industry. Total income of the Company increased from Rs.
3129.475 Millions during the previous year to Rs. 3553.609 Millions during the
year. Profit after tax was higher at Rs. 676.711 Millions.
OPERATIONS
The financial year was a challenging one for the entire media industry.
The slowdown in the economy, with the GDP growth expected to be 5.5% in CY2012,
affected the Indian Advertising industry, as companies affected by the slowdown
resorted to cuts in advertising spends to maintain profit margins. The
advertising industry reported a growth of an estimated 9% during CY2012. It is
important to point out that GDP growth numbers are measured in “real” terms,
while advertising growth numbers are indicated in “nominal” terms. This means
that the growth in the advertising industry trailed the overall GDP growth
rate, something that typically happens under poor economic growth conditions.
The radio industry has turned in a much stronger performance in FY13,
compared to the rest of the traditional media segments, growing at an estimated
10% during the year. The Company has reported even better growth at 12.3%. The
Company’s strategy of developing a multiple products portfolio (which
advertisers can use for their marketing activities) has yielded the higher
growth. This led to a strong net profit growth as well, at 19.8% to Rs. 677.000
Millions. The Company generated Rs. 1001.000 Millions of cash flow during FY13.
At the end of FY13, the Company had Rs. 3225.000 Millions of free cash and cash
equivalents.
The Company’s revenue market share remained strong at between 33-35% of
the private FM industry. Radio Mirchi continues to enjoy the confidence of its
listeners and it remains the clear No. 1 radio brand as per the Indian
Readership Survey (IRS)–the only pan-India media research survey which also
includes radio listenership. According to the latest IRS survey (Q4 2012),
Radio Mirchi has a weekly listenership of 37.5 million. Their listenership is
more than 50% higher than that of the nearest competitor brand.
In recognition of the music fraternity’s exceptional creativity, the Company
organized yet another edition – the 5th – of the Mirchi Music Award (MMA) this
year. The MMAs are now held in all major languages. Apart from the flagship
Hindi, MMAs are also held in the 4 South Indian Languages (4th
edition of the awards to be held in June 2013) and Bangla (2nd edition
completed in FY13). During FY13, for the first time, the awards were held in
Marathi as well. The Hindi MMA had the who’s who of the music and film
fraternity in attendance. The TVR of the main show, aired on Colors TV, was
2.1, a 60% improvement over last year’s TVR. But what was even more gratifying
than the TVR was the support and presence of the entire music fraternity.
The Company operates one of India’s most popular radio websites. They
stream four popular internet radio stations, which are available to a worldwide
audience. They also have a strong presence on social networking sites. They
have 1 million “fans” on Facebook. This helps us “connect” with online users,
get “feedback” on the brand and also “talk” to them about their new plans. In
addition, they also operate a YouTube channel of their own (total views upwards
of 2.6 million till date) and a twitter handle (about 16000 followers).
Together, Mirchi’s digital footprint spans 2.5 million people across all its
platforms.
The Company won several awards and recognitions during the year. Radio
Mirchi won the Popular Radio Channel of the Year Award at the World Brand
Congress 2012. The forum honors the world’s branding and marketing elite at the
Global Awards for Brand Excellence. Mirchi won twelve awards at the Excellence
in Radio Awards (ERA) at the India Radio Forum (IRF) this year – the most
number of awards won by any broadcaster. Their FY 2011-12 Annual Report
“Reimagining Radio” won the gold for innovative design and layout at the Midas
awards. Midas recognizes the world’s best in financial advertising. Founded in
2001 and based out of New York, the jury includes creative and art directors
from all over the world. In less than a year after its launch, Radio Mirchi UAE
was voted the best Radio Station in the Popular Choice category at the 5th
Annual Masala Awards held in that country. The award demonstrates the power of
the Mirchi brand and the loyal audience that it has built there in a short
period of time.
The Cabinet approved the Phase 3 expansion policy in May 2013, the
biggest growth opportunity for the private FM radio sector. Auctions for new
licenses and new cities are expected to commence before the end of FY14. New
stations should be operational within a year from the auctions getting
completed. For the Company, expanding nationally and within the big cities is a
priority.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MEDIA INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
World Economy is
poised to strengthen
According to the World Economic Outlook report of the IMF, released in
April 2013, the world economy is poised to grow at 3.3% in 2013 and 4% in 2014.
This is higher than the growth recorded in the previous years and augurs well
for the world economy. While growth in emerging markets and developing
economies is forecast to reach 5.3% in 2013 and 5.7% in 2014, from a lower
number in 2012, growth in the United States is forecast to be 1.9% in 2013 and
3.0 % in 2014. The Euro Area is forecast to de-grow by 0.3% in 2013 and recover
partially in 2014 and grow at 1.1%. Overall, the economic sentiment is forecast
to improve worldwide in the next two years.
Indian Economy –
to be back on the growth path in FY14
The Finance Minister, in his budget speech this year indicated that the
Indian economy is set to grow at 6.5% in FY14. And even though FY13 was a year
of slow growth, only China and Indonesia (amongst the large economies) grew
faster than India. In FY14, only China is expected to grow faster than India.
Morgan Stanley in
a report states:
“They expect the initial phase of recovery to be driven by an improvement in growth mix and productivity growth rather than a big rise in investment. The starting point of macro environment stability (inflation, current account deficit and high banking sector loan deposit ratio) will still likely constrain domestic demand from staging a strong recovery.”
The projected growth rate of 6.5% is a marked improvement over the 5.5%
growth likely in FY13 but much below the potential of 8% that India is capable
of. Opinion on this growth forecast is divided, with many experts believing
that it is achievable and many thinking otherwise. The IMF for instance has a
conservative estimate of 5.7%. The Government has promised more reforms
including in vital sectors of the economy like Banking, Insurance and pensions
(which should bring in more foreign investments), land acquisition (which
should make land acquisitions more expensive, but more easy) etc. It has also
promised to speed up decision making in core areas like infrastructure where
environmental concerns have held back approvals of large projects for several
years. The Government has set up a Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure, headed
by the PM, to remove the bottlenecks in large infrastructure projects with
investment exceeding Rs. 10000.0000 Millions. The Government has also said
repeatedly that it will stick to the fiscal target of 4.8% in FY14, a number
that now carries credibility after the successful achievement of the FY13
revised target of 5.2%.
The good news for the country is that the overall interest rate regime
is expected to soften in FY14. Reputed bankers have indicated that they expect
a drop of more than 1% during FY14. Sectors which advertise – BFI, Auto, Real
Estate, Durables, Mobile handsets, etc. – depend strongly on the ability of
their buyers to get cheap loans. If that happens, the economy should get a
boost; and the advertising industry too.
The government has also taken measures to tackle the current account
deficit. It has levied additional taxes on gold, which has become a very large
part of India’s imports. Further, the good news is that there is a slump in
commodity prices worldwide, including in petroleum, and this should
significantly ease the current account deficit, strengthen the rupee, reduce
raw material costs for industries that import and improve their operational
margins.
Overall, the macro-economic environment appears to be improving and is expected
to get better in FY14. Further, after more than a year of slow policy making,
the government appears to have got back on its feet. This should lift the
advertising industry growth rates in FY14.
Global Advertising
Spends to Strengthen
With advertising spends closely linked to the health of the economy, any
uptick in the economy has a positive impact on advertising. The opposite is
also true, which is why the advertising industry has generally witnessed slow
growth over the last few years.
According to Zenith Optimedia’s Advertising Expenditure Forecasts –
April 2013, the global ad expenditure growth will strengthen over the next 3
years, rising from 3.5% in 2012 to 3.9% in 2013, 4.9% in 2014 and 5.6% in 2015.
The agency puts the ad spends in 2013 at US$ 518 billion. Further the agency
forecasts that the growth will be led by emerging markets in Asia, Eastern
Europe and Latin America. Advertising growth in “Fast Track Asia” – a bloc of
which India is a part – is forecast to be 10.3% in 2013 over the previous year.
Indian Advertising
Industry expects a better 2013
The slowdown in the economy’s growth to 5.5% in 2012 affected the Indian
Advertising industry as companies affected by the slowdown cut advertising
spends. But with the economy expected to get back on the growth track, the
outlook is brighter. As per FICCI KPMG’s Indian Media and Entertainment
Industry Report 2013, the advertising industry which grew by 9.1% in 2012 is
expected to grow by 10% in 2013 and 11.2% in 2014. The 5-year forecast is even
stronger with a CAGR of 14% till 2017.
The Indian Radio
Industry – will outgrow traditional Media
Like in 2012, the FM radio industry is expected to outpace the growth of
the overall advertising industry in the coming years. This higher growth is
expected on the back of the Phase 3 policy of radio expansion. Phase 3 provides
an immense opportunity for the Company to expand its footprint across the
country. With a forecasted CAGR of 16.6% till 2017 as per KPMG’s FICCI report –
industry revenues are expected to more than double by 2017.
The Phase 3 policy – which entails major expansion in the sector – was
announced in July 2011. Since then, for various reasons, the policy’s implementation
has got delayed. It appears now that the last of the obstacles have been
cleared.
The Finance Minister announced the roll out of the policy in his budget
speech on 28th February 2013, an unusual gesture considering that no Finance
Minister had announced the earlier two phases of radio expansion. Thereafter,
the EGoM (Empowered Group of Ministers) chaired by the Finance Minister also
cleared all pending issues with respect to the policy in its meeting held on
6th March 2013. Finally, the Cabinet, in its meeting held on 1st May, 2013
ratified the decisions of the EGoM, paving the way for the roll out of the
much-delayed Phase 3 policy. If everything goes to plan, it is their
expectation that the auctions should commence before FY14 is over.
Phase 3 roll outs are vital for the FM radio industry’s growth. Radio
can only expand when spectrum is released by the Government through the process
of auctions. The last auctions were held in Jan 2006. Since then, there have
not been any more auctions held. In the meantime, the other segments of the
media industry have all grown by leaps and bounds. More and more TV channels
continue to get launched every year and today there are 750+ channels
available.
Newspaper groups have launched several new editions of existing titles
as well as new titles across the country. With more transport infrastructure
projects (airports, highways, etc.) getting completed, the Out Of Home (OOH)
industry has also got a boost. And of course, the internet knows no bounds. In
the midst of all these fast growing alternatives to advertisers, the radio
industry has been feeling the squeeze. It has had to rely on increasing the
utilization of available advertising inventory, but now with inventories almost
fully exhausted, the only way left to grow further is to have more channels.
Phase 3 will provide the requisite growth impetus.
The Phase 3 policy is ambitious. It aims to expand private FM radio
services to 227 more cities, taking the total to more than 313. About 839 new
FM radio channels will be auctioned and, after the auctions are completed, all
cities having a population 1 lac and more will be covered by private FM radio
services. The policy also has other far reaching features including giving
broadcasters the right to operate more than one channel in each city (thus
allowing for more programming variety, the ability to target a different set of
listeners and rapidly grow revenues), networking of small cities with big ones
(thus helping cut operating costs), extending the license period to 15 years
(thus reducing vulnerability to economic slowdowns) and others.
RADIO INDUSTRY – FUTURE OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
Phase 3 policy of
FM radio expansion:
As mentioned earlier, the biggest growth opportunity for the FM radio sector
is the Phase 3 policy of FM radio expansion. Auctions for new licenses and new
cities are expected to commence before the end of FY14. New stations should be
operational within a year from the auctions getting completed.
The salient features of the Phase 3 policy are:
a. Multiple Frequencies
b. License Period
c. Tradability of Licenses
d. Networking
e. News and Current Affairs allowed
a. Multiple
frequencies: The current policy allows a broadcaster to operate only one channel in
a market. However, no such restriction is imposed on TV, newspaper or internet
companies. The Phase 3 policy amends this, and allows broadcasters to operate
upto 40% of the licenses available in a city, subject to a minimum of three
different broadcasters being present in the city. This amendment provides an
opportunity to existing broadcasters to acquire new frequencies and expand. It
also allows existing broadcasters the opportunity to divest their stakes and
sell their businesses to other broadcasters operating in the same town. This
provision will thus increase the possibility of mergers and acquisitions in the
future.
For the Company, expanding within the big cities is a priority. ENIL
expects to take advantage of this policy measure.
b. License Period: The license period
of Phase 3 frequencies has been increased to 15 years, compared to 10 years for
the present licenses. This is a good change for several reasons. First, as the
experience of the last four years has shown, the advertising industry is
vulnerable to sudden deceleration of the economy. In a ten year license, it is
extremely difficult to recover from such downturns and recoup the losses.
Second, the certainty of a longer license period will allow broadcasters to
invest more in brand building, and take risks with experimentative programming
content. This should help provide more content diversity to the market and grow
it faster. Third, the entire process of renewals creates uncertainty and
anxiety, and the less often it is done, the better it is. ENIL welcomes this
policy initiative.
c. Tradability of
licenses: The current policy allows a broadcaster to sell off its stake in a
radio company only after five years of operationalization. The Phase 3 policy
reduces this period to three years. Even though it helps radio broadcasters, it
is still not entirely fair considering that no such restrictions exist in any
other media segment. ENIL welcomes this measure, as it will (along with the
allowance for operating multiple frequencies) help early consolidation in the
fragmented radio industry. Consolidation in turn will trigger improvements in
content, enhance investments in brand building, encourage launch of new
programs, etc.
d. Networking: Most of the small
towns with population less than 1 lac would be financially unviable if they
were to operate as full-service stations. The revenue potential in these towns
is small, and hence managing costs is key to financial viability. Networking
would allow small stations to take content from other bigger stations with a similar
language/ programming mix, thus reducing their cost of operation. The proposed
networking clause is more liberal than the current one which allows networking
only between category C and D stations. The Phase 3 policy allows networking
across all categories of towns. There is only a provision for a certain minimum
locally produced content to be met. ENIL welcomes this measure.
e. News and
current affairs: The current policy does not allow radio broadcasters to conduct news
and current affairs programs. This is a blatantly unfair and discriminatory
restriction, since no other medium is subject to such restrictions. The Phase 3
policy makes a minor concession on this. Radio broadcasters will be allowed to
do news and current affairs shows, but they will have to source the news
content only from All India Radio (AIR). The industry believes this is highly
restrictive, and hopes that future policy announcements will remove this
restriction. ENIL welcomes this policy measure guardedly, and hopes that all restrictions
will be removed soon.
RENEWAL OF PHASE 2
LICENSES:
They expect that after Phase 3 auctions are completed, the government
will start the process of renewing the current Phase 2 licenses. Since many
licenses will start expiring from April 2015 onwards, the next two years are
crucial for the renewal process. The government has however given indications
that it would want existing broadcasters to continue after their current
license term expires. Clarity on the process of renewals is awaited.
COPYRIGHT
AMENDMENT ACT 2012 – AN UPDATE:
The amendments to the original Copyright Act of 1957 were passed by both
Houses of Parliament in May 2012. The Copyright (Amendment) Rules 2013, which
prescribe rules for statutory license were notified on March 14, 2013. As on
date the Copyright Board has not been constituted. The provision of Statutory
License has a significant impact on the operations of a radio company as it
ensures unfettered access to music at rates fixed by a statutory authority.
Super Cassettes Industries Limited (“T Series”) has filed a writ
petition before the Delhi High Court challenging the constitutional validity of
the provisions of statutory licensing as described above. Similar challenge has
been made by Venus Worldwide Entertainment Private Limited (a member of
Phonographic Performance Limited) before the Delhi High Court. ENIL shall take
all such steps that are necessary to protect itself from anything that directly
and substantially affect’s ENIL’s rights under the statutory licensing
mechanism.
FORAY INTO DIGITAL
MEDIA:
Internet penetration is growing rapidly in India. There are about 150
million users today, and this number is expected to grow to 500 million in 5
years. Most internet users access the net through their mobile phones (smart
phones as well as old generation feature phones). Most internet users have
access only to slow internet bandwidth today; though with the rapidly falling
cost of bandwidth, this situation may change drastically in the next few years.
Media companies are already seeing their consumers move online, adding
to their regular media consumption. Worldwide experience shows that savvy media
brands are able to grow their audience size by making themselves available
online. In the case of radio, there is however a unique problem. Online music
royalties are prohibitively high reminiscent of the early days of FM radio when
music royalties were exorbitantly priced. The Copyright Board (CRB) brought
relief to FM broadcasters. It will have to rationalize online music royalties
as well.
As in all online media businesses, there are only very limited
advertising opportunities available for online radio streaming as well.
Maintaining an online presence is thus an unviable proposition today. Equally,
the cost of not reacting to this medium could be even higher. New competitors
could start reaching out to their advertisers with more targeted offerings, and
even take away their listeners by offering them greater variety of content.
Keeping this in mind, ENIL has embarked on an ambitious project to develop its
digital business.
ENIL’S ONLINE
PRESENCE:
· They have one of India’s most popular radio websites. They offer a variety of content like
a)
four specially created streaming stations with a plan
to increase this number to 10 in the next few months
b)
non-music audio content like Mirchi Murga
c)
interaction with RJs
d)
videos of film stars visiting their studios
e)
consumer contests, etc.
· Their four streaming stations offer a wide choice of music formats. The most popular is “Meethi Mirchi” (contemporary Hindi melodies) followed by “Purani Jeans” (60s to 80s Hindi retro), “Club Mirchi” (Hindi Dance) and “Mirchi Edge” (non-Bollywood or Indipop).
· They have a strong presence on social networking sites. They have 1 million “fans” on Facebook. This helps them “connect” with online users, get “feedback” on the brand and also “talk” to them about their new plans. In addition, they also have a YouTube channel of their own (total views upwards of 2.6 million till date) and a twitter handle (about 16000 followers).
FY 13 OPERATING
PERFORMANCE:
The radio industry has turned in a good performance in FY13, considering
the tough economic conditions that prevailed. In their estimation, the industry
has grown by about 10% over the previous year. In comparison, estimates of
growth of other media segments are 5-6% for newspapers, 5-6% for TV and 2-4%
for Out of Home. There is a reason why the radio industry has performed so
well. In times of economic slowdown, advertisers are forced to “re-evaluate”
their media mixes. In this process, a relatively new medium like radio (and
also the internet) gets evaluated even by those advertisers who weren’t using
radio earlier. Since radio’s listenership numbers are impressive, the medium
manages to enter the media plans of a lot of new advertisers. There is yet
another reason. Advertisers typically spend more on “promotions” during periods
of slowdown. Such campaigns work best on radio for several reasons. One,
because radio is the “last” medium consumed before he or she walks into a shop.
Second, radio creatives are easy to make and change, thus giving flexibility to
the advertiser to change his message. Third, radio’s reach is huge; and far
higher than the reach of newspapers. For example, in Mumbai, as per RAM, Radio
Mirchi reaches upwards of 50 lac people every week. These are all consumers
that advertisers are keen to reach. And lastly, the outlays required for an
effective radio campaign are typically smaller than those required for a
newspaper or outdoors campaign. For all these reasons, radio has done better
than other segments in FY13. They believe the same trend will continue in FY14
as well.
It’s a matter of pride that ENIL has fared better than the radio
industry. ENIL’s operating revenues (not including other income) have grown by
12.3% during FY13, reaching Rs. 3384.000 Millions. ENIL’s profitability has
been strong with PAT growing by 19.8% to Rs. 677.000 Millions. ENIL has Rs.
3225.000 Millions of free cash and cash equivalents in its books. It generated
Rs. 1001.000 Millions of cash flow during FY13. The Company is well resourced
to participate in Phase 3 bidding. ENIL’s strong revenue performance has helped
its revenue market share grow to 33-35% of the private FM industry. Considering
the consistent good performance of the Company year-on-year and the strong cash
position as on date, the Board of Directors have recommended a maiden dividend
of 10% i.e. Rs. 1/- per equity share of Rs. 10/-.
THE MIRCHI MUSIC
AWARDS – BETTER AND BIGGER EVERY YEAR:
The Mirchi Music Awards (MMAs) now span virtually all the major
languages. Apart from the flagship Hindi, MMAs are held in the 4 South Indian
Languages, Bangla and, for the first time this year, were held in Marathi as
well.
The 5th edition of the Hindi Mirchi Music Awards had the who’s who of
the music and film fraternity in attendance. The winners were decided by an all
star jury – Javed Akhtar (Chairman), Ramesh Sippy, Ashutosh Gowariker, Kailash
Kher, Shankar Mahadevan, Sooraj Barjatya, Prasoon Joshi, Sameer, Anu Malik,
Aadesh Srivastava, Alka Yagnik, Lalit Pandit, Louis Banks, Rakeysh Omprakash
Mehra, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sadhna Sargam, Suresh Wadkar, Talat Aziz and Ila
Arun. The jury process also comprises the important work undertaken by the
Screening jury which went through more than 800 songs that the film industry
produced in 2012. The Screening jury was made up of Akbar Sami, Shibani
Kashyap, Bishwadeep Chatterjee, Jitu Shankar, Kavita Seth, Raju Singh, Shmair
Tandon, Teesha Nigam, Dominique Cerejo, Anand Sharma, Niranjan Iyengar, Javed
Ali, Abhijeet Sawant, Dr. Arindam Mukhopadhyay, Vidya Shah, Dr. Sujit Kumar
Ojha.
TV viewers gave the televised show their vote of approval. The TVR of the
main show was 2.1, which is a 60% improvement over last year’s number. But more
than the TVR, what was satisfying was the support and presence of almost the
entire music fraternity. After all, these awards are our tribute to their
outstanding work. Like they say “Music ko Mirchi ka salaam” (Mirchi’s salute to
music). Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was recognized with the “Super star with a golden
voice” award and Ms. Asha Bhosle was honored with the Life Time Achievement
Award.
The Mirchi Music Awards (Marathi) were held for the first time this
year. They received an overwhelming response from the Marathi film and music
fraternity and audience. The jury was chaired by Suresh Wadkar and the Head of
the jury was Ashok Patki.
The Mirchi Music Awards (South) completed their 3rd edition in July
2012. Like in Hindi and Marathi, the support of the film and music industry in
all the Southern languages is a matter of great pride for them. They are the
only pan-South music award show. Mr. Gangai Amaren (Tamil), Mr. Hamsalekha
(Kannada), Mr. Suresh Babu (Telugu) and Mr. Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri
(Malayalam) were the jury Chairmen for these awards.
The Mirchi Music Awards (Bangla) completed their second edition in March
this year. Like everywhere else, the show had an outstanding success.
