Media and Entertainment Industry

 

According to FICCI-KPMG Indian Media & Entertainment Industry Report, 2012 was a challenging year for the industry as a whole, it was also a year of significant changes; as value chains were re-arranged and business models redefined. These changes, while painful in the short run, but will position the Indian M and E industry on a stronger footing for the future.

 

The Indian M and E industry grew from INR 728 billion in 2011 to INR 821 billion in 2012, registering an overall growth of 12.6 percent. Given the impetus introduced by digitization, continued growth of regional media, upcoming elections, strength in the film sector and fast increasing new media businesses, the industry is estimated to achieve a growth rateof11.8percent in 2013 to touch INR 917 billion. The sector is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 15.2 percent to reach INR1661 billion by 2017.

 

Television continues to be the dominant segment in the M&E sector; however strong growth is visible in new media, animation, Films and Music segment on the back of strong content and the benefits of digitization. The benefits of digital address able system (DAS) rollout are expected to contribute significantly to strong continued growth in the TV sector revenues and its ability to invest in and monetize content. The sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18percent.

 

Cable TV Industry

 

The total number of TV households grew from 146 millions in 2011 to 154 millions by the end of 2012, showing an increase of 5.4 percent. The penetration of Cable and Satellite (C and S) households increased from 81 percent of total TV households in 2011 to 84 percent in 2012. The overall number of C and S households increased by 11 millions during 2012 toreach130 millions, registering a growth of 9 percent over last year. The year 2012 heralded the much awaited start to digitization of cable industry. Despite some hiccups, Phase 1and 2 cities saw significant progress in implementation of mandatory digital addressable system (DAS). Digitalization underphase-1 of DAS has been a success with industry attaining 100% digitization in Delhi and Mumbai, followed with some delay by Kolkata.

 

Digital Cable TV has been a clear winner garnering more than 70% share of digital Set-top-boxes in these cities. At the end of March 2013, over 67% of the digitization target has been achieved in Phase-2 cities of DAS as reviewed by MIB. The Cable TV Industry now hopes to realize benefits over the medium term – including enhanced ability to monetize content, greater transparency, equitable revenue share across the value chain and hence increased ability to invest in differentiated and sophisticated content. The benefits will be visible in 2013-14 as MSO drive the addressability and work with last mile local cable operator to ramp up chosen content, billing and collection.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

The global economic growth in 2012 remained slow and declined for the second consecutive year to 3.2% from 4% in 2011. The spillover effects of the sovereign crisis of 2011 in Euro Area and higher unemployment in developed economies, together with lack of fresh capital infusion and high inflation in developing economies, led to the overall slowdown.

 

A host of fiscal and monetary measures were taken across the global economies to restore growth, which is likely to pickup 2013onwards. Amidst the overall slow environment, the U.S. posted a comeback at 2.2% growth in 2012 and Japan too posted a comeback at 2%. Emerging and developing economies led the global growth at 5.1%, though with decline from6.4% in 2011.World Economic Outlook 2013 by IMF estimates marginal economic growth at 3.3% globally, 1.2% for advanced economies and 5.3% for developing & emerging economies in 2013.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

The growth of Indian economy also continued to face pressure for the second successive year in FY 13. Courtesy the absence of fresh investments in capital projects and slackness in completion of already planned capital investments. India’s exports too declined and rising imports further added to widening current account deficit of 4.6% of GDP as on December31, 2012, indicating lower imports from India. Amidst this challenging environment, India recorded its lowest growth rate of5% in last ten years as per Advance Estimates of Central Statistical Office (CSO), May 2013.

 

A set of monetary and fiscal measures, helped to check the momentum from declining further. Indian government resumed its agenda of economic reforms with relaxation of FDI norms in multiple industries like Aviation, Broadcasting, Single/Multi Brand Retail, Insurance and Pension. The disinvestment of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) to the tune of Rs.240000.000 millions on the other hand brought fresh funds. India’s fiscal deficit in turn was checked at 5.2% of the GDP in FY’13against 5.9%in FY’12.42RBI had dual task of checking inflation and restoring growth through liquidity. RBI during FY13, particularly in second half, reduced Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) thrice, from 4.75% to 4%, a move intended to infuse liquidity in Indian banking systems to the tune of about Rs.42500.000 millions. This was supported further by reducing Bank Repo Rate (RR) thricefrom7.5% to 6.5%.

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

SITI Cable Network Limited (erstwhile known as Wire and Wireless (India) Limited) is one of the largest MSO in the country with presence across 60 major cities and adjoining areas of the country providing digital & analogue TV Cable TV signals and local TV Channels. Out of the four metros and 38 other urban cities with more than 1 million population which have already undergone digitization in Phase 1 and 2, the Company provides DAS network in three phase 1 metros and 17cities under phase 2 of the phased mandatory digitization. The Company is also set to leverage its presence in about 40 cities out of 60cities in phase 3 of digitization.

 

At present, the Company has close to 10 million subscribers through its Local Cable Operator (LCO) partners wherein more than 25% of these are already subscribing to digital network through DAS. SITI has a robust deliveryplatform of 56analogue & 14 digital head ends and 12000 kilometre of Optical Fibre and Coaxial Cable Network. Besides providing digital cable distribution in 20 cities of phase under phase 1 and 2 of digitization, SITI Cable provides analogue Cable TV signal in many other rural and smaller urban towns which are still a step away from complete digital convergence in next two phases. SITI Cable Network is part of the Essel Group-India’s leading business conglomerate having business interests panning across media, entertainment and broadcasting; TV content distribution; print media, infrastructure development; and packaging etc.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

INDIAN TELEVISION INDUSTRY

 

Television is the largest medium for media and entertainment delivery in India in terms of revenue, representing around 45 % of the total media and entertainment industry. The TV industry continues to have more scope for further growth over the coming years, as television penetration in India is still at approximately 60% of total households, according to FICCI-KPMG report 2012.

 

TELEVISION CONTENT DISTRIBUTION

 

India has 154 millions TV households as at the close of calendar year 2012 with 79% paid Cable and Satellite (C and S) TV households. The paid C and S penetration is expected to reach 91% of the 191 millions estimated TV households in2017.

 

FY 13 was a landmark year for the Indian TV content distribution sector. The much awaited convergence of cable distribution from conventional analogue to revolutionary digital TV signal was finally rolled out in four metro cities in phase 1fromthe midnight of October 31, 2012. Following the success of phase 1 and viewers welcome to digitization with about 68%conversion, as on September 2012 (Ministry of I&B release), the government stood firm to its deadline of phase 2digitizationin another 38 urban cities with above 1 million population, by the midnight of March 31, 2013. Even though the process of shift to digital signal started on a moderate note, it picked up a month before the deadline. The digitization is estimated to be 67% complete as on March 2013 as per Ministry of I&B press release.

 

The advantages of digitization over conventionally used analogue TV signal include:

• High capacity to carry more number of channels

• Efficient carrying capability of voice and data besides TV signals

• Possibility of interactivity

• Enhanced picture and sound quality

• Digital addressability & accountability transparency

 

The leading Multi System Operators (MSOs’), including SITI Cable Network, are striving to match and exceed the customer friendly packages and services with those provided by Direct to Home (DTH) service providers. These steps include engaging the LCOs with a digitally managed subscriber management system to handle subscriber queries and transactions. With a large cable TV network in place, the Digitally Addressable System holds competitive edge over DTH. DAS has the ability to offer bundled two way services like broadband, video on demand, digitization after transition, HD channels and higher penetration in rural areas. As the leading MSOs continue to lead the way by putting proper infrastructure in place in line with the deadline set for the remaining two phases of digitization, they are likely to sustain their market share in cable and satellite TV distribution market.

 

Following the convergence of entire country from analogue to digital TV signals, MSOs are likely to reap-in the benefit of the same in the coming two to three years. The same would be enabled by revenue sharing model with broadcasters, free to air channels, and also the additional subscription fee that MSOs get out of value added services, which are increasingly being used by subscribers at additional cost. Higher Average Revenue per User (ARPU) shall be the significant contributor to the Cable TV segment growth.

 

OUTLOOK

 

SITI Cable believes in profitable growth and is poised to take the full advantage out of the country’s leap towards ongoing digitization march as per TRAI guidelines, which have already been kicked off in 2012 with marginal hiccups. The convergence of C&S TV distribution from analogue to digitization signal (Digital Addressable System or DAS) has already been implemented in four metropolitan cities and subsequently another urban 38 cities with a population of over 1millioneach, albeit the relatively slower acceptance in second phase for digitization. The Company has by now seeded 3millionSTBs to meet the requirements of its LCOs for their customers out of phase 1 and phase 2, while the company has set an aggressive target to seed 5.5-6 million STBs in FY14.

 

As one of the largest MSO operator with presence in 17 out of 38 cities in phase 2, the Company is geared up to expand its revenue and profitability by getting the advantage of fees or sale of STBs, apart from higher subscriptions in average revenue per unit (ARPU). These will be enabled by end user consumer billing with subscriber management billing in Phase1 and 2. Adding to our strength will be “Own your Customer”, a unique subscriber management system that empowers an LCO and gives them the advantage over LCOs in other networks The Company also hopes to be the winner by taking advantage of revenue sharing model to be pursued with broadcasters for HDs and other channels, including some free to air channels with which its revenues and profitability can have a  positive impact.

 

Today, India has 730 millions TV viewers, 154 millions TV Household and 79% paid C&S penetration as per FICCI-KPMG Report 2013. The growth estimates are robust of 191 millions TV households in 2017 with 91% paid C and S penetration. In view of the industry potential and SITI Cable’s leading edge, the Company looks forward to exciting times ahead to garner much better profitability apart from rising revenues.

 

Contingent liabilities

 

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.

Siti Cable Inks Rev-Share Agreements With Cable Operators For Digitization

 

Oct 9th, 2012

 

Cable television service provider Siti Cable Network Limited has inked Digital Addressable System (DAS) Interconnect agreement with 55% of its local cable operators (LCOs), in a bid to implement digitization across the top metros across India. The company claims to be the only multi-system operator (MSO) to have inked such agreements.

Siti Cable stated that this partnership works on a revenue-sharing basis of the carriage fee and it will allow cable operators to provide encrypted TV channel signals to the subscriber. However, it didn’t disclose any specific revenue share ratio or any other financial details of the agreement.

The company also claimed that it is actively working with local cable operators to migrate them to the digital regime smoothly and has provided them with a ‘Own Your Customer’ management system, which allows cable operators to manage various subscriber-related transactions on their own. These transactions include activation, deactivation, up gradation, down gradation, billing, payment, account statements, packaging and complaints among others. Siti Cable said that cable operators can access this system on their computers, tablets and their mobile phones.

Similar Developments: In March 2012, Dish TV had partnered with around 30 local cable operators to run a pilot project in Delhi, wherein the local cable operators acted as the company’s agents to distribute and install DTH connections, and Dish TV paid them commissions based on the number of new connections installed, in addition to a 15%-20% commission whenever a customer recharges his subscription.

Digitization Status in Metros: Last month, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has stated that 68% Cable TV digitization has been achieved in four metro cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, where digitization of cable TV was made mandatory by October 31, 2012. This announcement was made by the ministry after a review of the digitization progress in these four metros.

The ministry stated that Mumbai had achieved the highest level of digitization among the four metros with 95% digitization level, followed by Kolkata with 67% digitization level, Delhi with 53% digitization level and Chennai with 49% digitization level. However, it noted that these numbers didn’t take DTH subscribers into account and if they were considered, the ministry noted that Mumbai’s digitization level marginally increased to 96%, while Chennai’s digitization level increased to 77% and the digitization level of Kolkata and Delhi increased to 72% and 65% respectively.

No Deadline Extension: Ministry’s senior officials had also added that there will be no further deadline extension for digitization of cable TV, and claimed that the task will be completed within the allotted time frame, with active support from all stake holders.
